With his third album set to release tomorrow, July 26th, Robinson has given fans a chance to interact with his art in a whole new way. Powered by Active Theory, the browser-based game allows players to explore the world of SMILE! :D on Robinson's website with no download required.
From the home screen, you can control a cartoon Porter Robinson around a city and collect apples that make him grow to the size of Godzilla. If you roam enough, you'll find a gray platform that sends you into an area that lets you explore three portals with the titles "Cat," "Porter" and "Cheerleader." Without spoiling too much, players are treated to several bizarre minigames in each category and are prompted to level skyscrapers, smash music awards and much more.
In addition to the wild new game, Robinson shared the tracklist for SMILE! :D, which boasts a single featured artist. The sibling hyperpop duo Frost Children are the lone feature on the album and they appear on the song "Mona Lisa."
The album comprises 10 songs, including the previously-released singles "Russian Roulette," "Knock Yourself Out XD" and "Cheerleader." Check out the album's full tracklist below and pre-save it here.

Romero, the mastermind behind Protocol Records, has teamed up with Brazilian sensation Öwnboss and Oaks, the alias of renowned singer-songwriter Winona Oak, to create the new track. His illustrious career needs no introduction, but with his latest offering, he's achieved another milestone with his debut on Canada’s largest independent electronic music label, Monstercat.
A celebration of the season's highs, the evocative single is a refined blend of emotion and danceable energy. It opens with delicate piano chords, setting a reflective tone before Oaks' lovelorn lyrics weave through the melody and pull us listeners into a tale of transient love. As the tension builds, arpeggiated synths dance with euphoric precision, lifting the spirits higher with each note.
At its apex, driving basslines thunder beneath punchy, rolling kicks, creating an irresistible groove that demands movement. Gated tremolo vocal chops add a layer of texture, their staccato rhythm echoing the heartbeat of a summer romance.
Listen to "Love You For The Summer" below and find the new collaboration on streaming platforms here.

A New High-Energy Anthem
‘Free’ promises to be another hit from this dynamic duo. Based on a video and a preview uploaded to YouTube, the track is a high-energy house anthem, bursting with piano stabs and shimmering synth flourishes. The song’s debut follows closely on the heels of Harris sharing studio footage of the pair working together, with Harris visibly thrilled and Goulding’s silky vocals shining through.
Check out this post shared by Calvin Harris regarding the release.
Sneak Peek and Anticipation
On Tuesday, July 23, Harris teased fans with an extended preview of ‘Free’, featuring a pared-down intro that spotlights Goulding’s mesmerizing voice. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the official release this Friday, July 26. This marks their first collaboration since 2023’s trance track ‘Miracle’, which dominated the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for 25 weeks straight and saw the pair perform at major events, including Harris’ 2023 Coachella Main Stage set.
A History of Hits
Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s musical partnership has consistently produced chart-topping hits. Their debut collaboration, ‘I Need Your Love,’ spent 25 weeks on the Hot 100 in 2013, peaking at No. 16. The following year, ‘Outside’ climbed to No. 29 on the same chart. With such a history of success, ‘Free’ is set to continue their legacy of producing electrifying dance music.

Their beautiful song “Better Together” has new production, a beautiful vocal, and catchy drums that make you want to dance.
From the first beat, “Better Together” envelops listeners in a warm embrace of pulsing rhythms and shimmering melodies.
The production seamlessly blends Kryder’s knack for crafting infectious grooves with Robinson’s signature euphoric touch, resulting in a tune that’s impossible to resist.
Perfect Havoc, a proudly independent dance label, keeps putting out some of the most popular songs of recent times.
This is a testament to the futuristic A&R policy of the label and the vision of Adam Griffin and Robert Davies, who started it.
It’s because of this that they’ve been crossover hits in clubs, festivals, and on global charts, with over 10 billion streams, six UK Top 20 songs, and many platinum, gold, and silver awards.
Many more tracks from Todd Tery & Janika Tenn and Zac Samuel & Alexis Knox are on the way from Perfect Havoc, so the good times aren’t over yet.
This summery, feel-good vocal gem packs a real punch with hints of classic filter house.
‘Better Together‘ by Kryder x Jay Robinson is out now on Perfect Havoc.

GETTING TO KNOW (ASPEN)
Hailing from the sun-drenched beaches of Miami, Florida, ASPEN is not just a DJ and producer—he’s an institution in the vibrant nightlife of one of the world’s most electric cities. Known for his dynamic sets and pulse-pounding beats, ASPEN is a perennial favorite at Miami’s top nightclubs, where his performances are synonymous with unforgettable nights out.
But ASPEN’s influence extends far beyond the local scene. With performances in many different countries and cities worldwide, he has captivated audiences on a global scale, bringing his unique blend of energy and rhythm to every corner of the dance music world. Whether in the heart of Europe or the beaches of Southeast Asia, ASPEN’s music transcends boundaries, making him a beloved figure in the international DJ community.
Explain what musical genre fits you best
I think as of right now I have been producing mostly progressive house/ big room. Those two subgenres of EDM have always been some of my favorites. I love the melodic focus of the two genres and I think that’s what has driven me in that direction. I do have a downtempo song release and I am working on a tropical house track as well; so I definitely do some branching out but yes I think progressive house and big room fits me best for right now.
Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you?
Yes, I have always absolutely loved music. I have been listening predominantly to edm for the past ten years so I’ve always had a passion for it. I never realized how much I loved it until I went to my first Ultra in Miami. After that, I just knew that I wanted to start producing music and becoming a DJ.
What kickstarted your music career?
I think the location as to where I started played a big role in it. My main market is Miami which is one of the best places in the world for electronic music. I’ve made some fantastic connections and that really propelled me forward quickly. I still have a ton of work ahead of me but it gave me a nice head start.
Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time
I think with most new artists, you start by trying to emulate someone. I think my sound started out relatively bland because of that. I’m still refining the sound that I was to consistently produce but I think taking inspiration from multiple different places has really helped me have a better idea of what I want my music to sound like. I’m much happier with where my sound is now compared to when I started.
Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers?
Keep pushing. Music is a ton of work but I think if you keep following the passion that got you into it in the first place then it will drive you to keep working towards your dreams and aspirations.
How do you nurture your industry relationships?
By treating them like normal friendships and relationships because that’s what they are. Just because I met someone through my profession doesn’t mean they can’t become good friends/ connections. So act how you would with your friends, and you should go far.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
Yes I started DJing for a company called Trio when I was just starting out and they really gave me a platform to get started with my career.
Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you + Youtube links
Martin Garrix feat. Bonn – High On Life
Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso – Calling (Lose My Mind)
Gryffin, Illenium – Feel Good ft. Daya
All 3 of these songs are what gave me the inspiration to say “I want to do what these guys are doing”.
What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software?
Great question. I have two answers. So my basic answer is my laptop/ableton. I wouldn’t be able to do anything without my laptop. My fun answer is a talkbox. I just think those things are so fun to use.
Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel
Favorite festival is Tomorrowland. They’re production is absolutely unreal. Every year they show why they are the best festival in the world. I’ve had some of the best times of my life there.
Name an outlandish rider request?
This is a hilarious question. I’ll give you a rider request that I made that was absolutely pointless. I requested a fuzzy blanket once. When you first think about it, it doesn’t seem that outlandish but once you realize that you are showing up to your dressing room right before you perform in front of a large crowd, why the heck would I need a blanket. What am I gonna do, take a nap before? Obviously not.
Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve?
Everytime I play at LIV, I have the absolute best time performing and then just enjoying myself afterwards. I love that place.
What famous quote represents you best?
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” -Wayne Gretzky
If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why?
Ushuaia Ibiza. That place is a mini festival in itself. I would absolutely love to play there. Music is….. (explain more)
Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries and connects people on an emotional level. It’s an expression of creativity, a form of communication that can convey feelings and stories without the need for words. Music has the power to inspire, heal, and bring joy, serving as a soundtrack to our lives and marking significant moments. For me, music is a way to channel my emotions, share my experiences, and connect with my audience. It’s a dynamic art form that evolves with time, yet remains timeless in its ability to touch the human soul.
One song you really couldn’t live without and why?
High on Life by Martin Garrix
Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present)
Armin Van Buuren Martin Garrix Gryffin Kaskade Hardwell What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire?
When I raved at my first Ultra. It made me fall in love with music more than I already had. Tell us more about your plans for the future
I am going to keep releasing music once a month for the foreseeable future. I have a ton of projects that I’m working on and I want to roll them all out.
Any worldly advice you’d like to share?
Just ride the wave. Let life take you wherever it pleases.

“DIAMANTE” is finally out after years of working with and producing for big names like Drake, Bad Bunny, Nicki Minaj, El Alfa, Migos, Lil Yachty, the late Mac Miller, The Martinez Brothers, and Rema.
It will set the sound agenda for nightlife around the world with his albums and DJ sets. Over 20.000 hours of careful work went into making the record, which brought together artists like Drake, Fuerza Regida, Leon Bridges, Rampa, and Maluma to push the limits of music and connect different genres.
“DIAMANTE,” as the name suggests, is Blackmon’s most personal project to date.
It’s a tribute to GORDO’s family, friends, and loved ones, and it lets fans join him on his own journey to freedom as he reconnects with his Nicaraguan-American roots.
The album mixes electronic dance music with music from many different genres, including Dance, Hip Hop, Pop, Reggaeton, Indie, and Jazz.
It has both well-known and up-and-coming acts from these areas, creating what can only be called a musical evolution.
DIAMANTE tracklist
GORDO DIAMANTE TRACKLIST When you look at the tracklist for “DIAMANTE,” it’s clear that GORDO likes and is committed to the story of a well-rounded full-length project.
The Nicaraguan-American producer teams up with &ME for the surprisingly thoughtful first track, “Guard Down.”
Recently, Keinemusik teased GORDO during their show at Brooklyn Mirage in New York, and GORDO himself during shows across Europe.
Now, GORDO finally reveals that the hottest dance music secret ID is a song he made with longtime friend Drake called “Sideways.” The two have worked together on many projects before.
GORDO produced six tracks on Drake‘s house-inspired album “Honestly, Nevermind” and two tracks on the Canadian artist’s “For All The Dogs” record, including “Rich Baby Daddy.”
This flows smoothly into “Honeyland” (feat. Afshin Momadi), a beautiful melodic Afro-house track that slowly moves the energy to the dancing.
The tease of “Easier” with Rampa during GORDO’s performance at Hï Ibiza brings the song even closer to the dancefloor and shows off GORDO’s creative confidence by letting him break the rules.
The artists in GORDO’s album DIAMANTE
“DIAMANTE” has a great list of collaborations, but it still has the flow and excitement that fans expect from a personalized artist record. A-list artists aren’t just on the album because GORDO wanted them to be there; they fit in perfectly with his concept for the album. The show “Target” is all about T-Pain.
The Californian rapper Larry June is featured on GORDO’s recent tracks, and “Lake Como” has a subtle but powerful effect on a dance album. “Candid Zone,” on the other hand, shows off a new trick in GORDO’s musical bag by using the soulful vocals of Leon Bridges to find the perfect balance between R&B, house, and summer Latin flair.
Fuerza Regida’s “NENE” was added to the record at the last minute. This high-energy collaboration between GORDO and the Mexican American powerhouse was finished just a week before the album came out. It is the first of four Latin-American duets on the “DIAMANTE.”
Nicki Nicole’s Argentinian style and Sech’s obvious reggaeton swagger come together in “Cafecito.” This official summer anthem really shows GORDO in his element, blending his Hispanic background and an all-Latin American team with his global club sound with ease.
“Parcera,” which features the global superstar Maluma, takes people back to the summer of 2023 when the duo performed it for the first time at GORDO’s Tomorrowland Belgium Mainstage show. Over 100 million people have watched clips of the show, making it the most popular moment in Tomorrowland history.
The hypnotic song “Hombres y Mujeres,” which features the Colombian singer Feid, is the last of the album’s four songs that honor GORDO’s Hispanic roots.
With more than 70 million streams, the song became a huge hit in Latin America and Spain before GORDO’s biggest South American DJ tour ever, which took place from December 2023 to March 2024 and took him to 25 cities in 15 countries.
GORDO makes a busy house banger called “Kill For This Shit” with lyrics from the late Young Dolph. The track has bursting basslines and upbeat percussion that give the Memphis rap anthem more dancefloor energy.
Like GORDO’s live shows, the second half of “DIAMANTE” builds to a bold peak that shows why many people think of him as modern clubbing royalty. All of this comes to a head when the needle drops on “Take Control” and “WDYM” (featuring Karolina Falk). Both songs are ready for festival main stages all over the world and show off the highly praised producer’s skillful and subtle production.
“Aura,” which features NTO, is the last song on the record. The track, which was named after his grandmother, is a new kind of GORDO. It promises to win people over with its dancing melodies, melodic techno beats, and beautifully shimmering synthwork.
What we can expect from DIAMANTE
GORDO’s first record, “DIAMANTE,” comes out in just a few days.
It will solidify his place in the music world and give fans a chance to get to know the man behind the decks even better.
The record has a lot of collaborations with famous artists, but it also gives fans a unique chance to see GORDO in the middle of his creative process, which creates a unique sound journey that can only be called “DIAMANTE.”

Following America’s Independence Day celebrations, where fireworks often result in mishaps, French citizens similarly celebrate Bastille Day, marking a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Although this annual holiday always features grand festivities across France, 2024 was particularly special as the country prepares to host the Summer Olympics in Paris in just under two weeks. On Sunday night, the city orchestrated a spectacular fireworks display enhanced by 1,000 drones around the Eiffel Tower. With a rich legacy of Electronic music talents like Gesaffelstein, Justice, Kavinsky, and Jean-Michel Jarre, the event organizers had a wealth of musical choices. They ultimately selected tracks by Daft Punk and contemporary Dance music star Madeon.
Madeon’s ‘You’re On‘ from his 2015 debut album Adventure played during a segment where the drones formed a running figure holding a heart. The drones also morphed into the Paris 2024 Olympic Games logo, accompanied by Daft Punk’s 2013 single ‘Contact’ from their final album, Random Access Memories.
Check out the footage of the Bastille Day fireworks show featuring music by Daft Punk and Madeon below.

‘The Time Is Now’ features the intricate, fast-paced patterns and robust, industrial drumlines that have become synonymous with Culture Shock’s sound. Fans have praised the track as a return to more traditional roots, distinct from his recent vocal experiments like ‘Get To Me,’ ‘Breathe,’ ‘Out My Head,’ and a banger of a flip for Artemas’ ‘i like the way you kiss me.’
Culture Shock’s fourth single of the year, ‘The Time Is Now’ had a viral moment last week after a glimpse of his set at Rattleship was posted on social media. If you thought EDM venues couldn’t get any wilder, think again—Brownies and Lemonade took things to the next level with a mind-blowing production on a USS aircraft carrier.
Culture Shock’s evolution as an artist has been a journey of balancing innovation with consistency. ‘The Time Is Now’ showcases not only his ability to stay true to his London origins but also to refine his production techniques, with a tight, polished sound that continues to impress.
To get a sense of Culture Shock’s live sets, you can’t do much better than to check out his 30-minute set from May for Radio 1’s Drum and Bass Show. Or catch him on tour before he goes back-to-back x4 with supergroup WORSHIP at EDC Orlando in November.

But First, Happy Hour!
Getting to the venue early paid off extremely well. From VR games, to stunning exhibits, including Meow Wolf, Friday was up to a good start. But then, the fun began, as Luttrell presented us with an amazing surprise 2-hour happy hour set. The pre-show was held right at the entrance of AREA15 and it was free to the public. This warm-up led to what would be a magical night in the A-Lot space of the venue.
Luttrell’s Happy Hour Now, The Open Air
The A-Lot is one of the 3 spaces in AREA15 that hosts incredible events. Other artists that have graced this stage in the last year include Charlotte de Witte, Dombresky, Ganja White Night, and Boris Brejcha. This time, Anjunadeep brought their Deep House wizards to charm the summer winds in the atmosphere. The lineup included Nicky Elizabeth, Durante, Joseph Ray, Eli & Fur, and a special Dosem b2b Luttrell set. The Anjuna family came strong with its vibes, overcoming the hot temperatures. The lot kept cool with massive fans that also sprayed refreshing mist into the attendees. Production-wise we enjoyed beautiful visuals and quality lighting that resonated with the soulful melodies we heard into the late night. The production was completed with some chill areas, a set-up swing and Anjuna merch. Sadly, due to the worldwide glitch in the matrix that affected a lot of software, Marsh couldn’t make it to Vegas for his set. However, each act delivered a stunning, emotional time that brought smiles to each member of the audience.
Eli & Fur, Credits: Jesse Hudson In a world that feels like it going 190 miles an hour, it was nice to have a night that slowed it down so we could appreciate the night, with each other, with great music. We can’t wait to go back to AREA15 and enjoy some quality time. As for the label itself, they’re continuing with more Open Air shows for the rest of the year. Some cities include London, Budapest, Seattle, and Mexico City.

This alarming situation is likely caused by cocaine entering the ocean through untreated sewage or being dumped during drug smuggling operations. Scientists are concerned that the cocaine consumption could alter the sharks’ behavior and harm other marine life in the Santos Bay Area.
This isn’t an isolated incident; similar findings have been reported in other locations around the world. For instance, last year, scientists in Florida discovered fish and sharks in Florida waters have been affected by drug-related paraphelnia dumped into the ocean by drug traffickers. Similarly, in the UK, freshwater shrimp and other river wildlife are testing positive for cocaine and ketamine. In addition, a 2018 study discovered that eels in British waters have been exposed to cocaine. Researchers believe the drug is causing these creatures to become ‘hyperactive.’
While movies like Cocaine Bear and Cocaine Shark provide a source of entertainment, it’s important to note this is a real issue affecting our wildlife, both on land and at sea.

For over 20 years, Eric Prydz has been synonymous with immaculately produced and distinctive electronic music. The Platinum-selling artist is responsible for some of the biggest progressive house tracks and some of the most technically impressive live shows of any touring artist, including his HOLO/EPIC series. Prydz has headlined storied venues like Madison Square Garden, Brixton Academy, and Alexandra Palace, earned multiple Grammy nominations, hosted an ongoing radio show for Beats1, and topped charts with his alter-egos Pryda and Cirez D.
Prydz‘s dedication to his craft as a producer and DJ allows him to appeal to both dance music’s underground connoisseurs and main-stage masses alike. Pryda, his most well-known alias, is renowned for its immaculately layered melodies and harmonies, creating a sound that has become almost a sub-genre in itself. Cirez D, on the other hand, showcases a stark contrast with stripped-back techno designed for dark, raw, and late-night sets. This diversity in his music underscores Prydz‘s versatility and his commitment to producing and playing the music he loves, unconstrained by expectations.
‘Opus’ remains a timeless single that continues to captivate audiences, embodying the innovative spirit and technical prowess of Eric Prydz.

The first show of the run was announced as New Year’s Eve but due to “overwhelming demand” five additional dates were subsequently added. They will occur from December 27th – January 1st. Matteo Milleri, aka Anyma, had this to say about the feat:
Anyma’s visuals have been some of the most sought-after in dance music, surpassing even Tale of Us (of which Anyma is half). Their highly acclaimed Afterlife events took these artists to the top of the scene.
The Sphere performance will find Anyma bringing his Genesys show to Las Vegas, marking the final time this show will be performed. The performance is officially titled Afterlife Presents Anyma: The End of Genesys and will feature yet to be announced special guests.

Over the course of the last few years, the Canadian superstar has led fans to believe that his last two albums were the first and second chapters of a trilogy. It started with 2020's After Hours and continued with 2022's Dawn FM, which featured his collaboration with Swedish House Mafia, "Moth to a Flame."
The Weeknd has now shared a lengthy glimpse into the trilogy's third entry, showcasing a rumored collaboration with Skrillex. While the dubstep icon's involvement is purely speculative at this time, it's worth noting that he influenced the development of Dawn FM and has been confirmed as a studio collaborator in years past.
Quoting the legendary philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, The Weeknd shared a snippet of a new track, which appears to be titled "The Abyss." Scores of fans in the comments were quick to note that the song has ties to an unreleased ID with production from Skrillex.
It's important to note, however, that Skrillex's involvement in today's version has not been confirmed at the time this writing. Check out The Weeknd's teaser below.

Scheduled for release on September 27th via Transgressive and Future Classic, the album marks the first full-length project shared since SOPHIE's tragic death in January 2021. The new single, which features her former girlfriend Evita Manji, continues the sonic tribute begun with "Reason Why," a collaboration with Kim Petras that set the stage for what promises to be a dynamic and emotionally resonant album.
"Berlin Nightmare" exemplifies a striking blend of acid techno with a minimalist and wonky sound. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Benny Long, the track presents a darker, grittier side of SOPHIE. The production is characterized by a stripped-back approach, navigating through a soundscape of surreal, discordant textures that feels both immersive and abstract. The result is an alluring song that captures SOPHIE's profound ability to blend the rhythmic with the avant-garde in a truly unique way.
Presented as a narrative journey, SOPHIE's posthumous album is scheduled to release on September 27th. A statement from her family describes the forthcoming album as a profound reflection of her musical journey prior to her death. They emphasize that the project was envisioned with many close friends and collaborators, making it a deeply personal tribute to her artistic vision.
The loss of the visionary producer after an accidental fall sent shockwaves across the global music community. SOPHIE was celebrated not only for her pioneering sound—a blend of hyperpop, electronica and underground dance infused with disorienting, warped elements—but also for her significant impact as a transgender music icon. She affirmed her identity in the 2017 video for "It’s Okay to Cry," using her platform to advocate for visibility and acceptance.
Throughout her career, SOPHIE worked with a range of high-profile artists, including Madonna, Diplo, Camila Cabello and Charli XCX. The latter has spoken about how SOPHIE’s work profoundly impacted her own, honoring the late artist's legacy in the tribute track "So I" from her new album Brat.
Fans can now pre-save SOPHIE and find "Berlin Nightmare" on streaming platforms here.
