Ekonovah presents his new release ‘Vibrant EP’

Flying high from a blistering start to the year that consisted of his debut at the globally renowned Ultra Music Festival, Ekonovah continues to churn out new music at an impressive clip. On May 24th, the emerging house producer is back with his fully independent two-track Vibrant EP, consisting of his two club-ready, original productions “Vibrant,” and “Best of Me.”

Ekonovah talking about the EP
He continues:
With four releases under his belt already this year, Ekonovah is clearly a man on a mission: to not only share his music with the world but also to show that his work ethic and output are second to none.
Vibrant is very much Ekonovah at his original best, featuring a pairing of tracks that encapsulates the quality and style. Fans, old and new, flock to his shows and eagerly tune into his newest productions.

The story of Vibrant EP
Complete with heavy bass lines, soaring horns, and pounding drums, the Vibrant EP has all of the ingredients you’ll find in an Ekonovah set.
Title track “Vibrant,” a 3-year-old demo that has been a mainstay in Ekonovah sets, is complemented by “Best of Me,” a UK-inspired bass house track that outpaces every other release from Ekonovah clocking in at 132 BPM.
Immaculate sound design, catchy vocals, and irresistible drums combine for the vintage Ekonovah groove.
For fans looking to catch him live, head to his website and snag tickets for his upcoming dates in Vancouver, Orlando, Tampa, and more.
As Ekonovah continuously evolves, the creative keeps a consistent goal in mind– to influence the electronic scene with a new sound. Deriving from a background in music at his early stages of childhood, Ekonovah has utilized his competitive advantage in his brand by engineering original vocals and pioneering melodic earworms against strong, dancey drums.
The artist
Once embarked in his touring endeavors, Ekonovah discovered his signature sound, as fellow supporters came up to him and made comments on his distinctive “woosh”/ “weird flute” sound.
Ekonovah is well-known to be spiritually inclined within himself and his identity as an artist, and is evidently shown through his sets and connection with his fanbase.
He has proven to have successful highlights in his musical career, from hitting tour stops in cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Decadence Arizona, and Bonnaroo, to sharing stages with Chris Lake, Elderbrook, Tchami, Gorgon City, Oliver Heldens, Noizu, Dombresky, Habstrakt, Drezo, Moksi and more. The Ekonovah project has more yet to come, with years worth of plans ahead and unwavering support from his team.

3 Festivals that NEED to Return: USA Edition

Electronic festivals are where the magic happens – unforgettable beats, epic drops, and memories that last a lifetime. But some of the best festivals have taken their final bow, leaving a void in the hearts of ravers across the globe. Let’s take a trip down memory lane with these 5 iconic EDM festivals that need to make their comeback:
1. EDC New York
It’s no surprise that Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas is one of the top tier electronic music festivals in the United States. But did you know there used to be another EDC festival in the U.S., right in New York? Debuted in 2012 at New Jersey’s Met Life Stadium, EDC New York took over the electronic scene on the East Coast. The festival featured many legendary artists over their few years of operation, including Avicii, EDX, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Skrillex– to name a few. However, after EDC New York’s 2016 festival, Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella announced that the festival would be taking a break in 2017 and hasn’t returned since.
In my opinion, with the rumors of Electric Zoo not returning to New York this year- or ever again- a prime opportunity has presented itself for EDC to mark their return to New York.
2. Mysteryland USA
Another great festival announced their retirement too early, but this time it was Mysteryland USA. Their flagship festival, known simply as ‘Mysteryland’, has been a staple of electronic festivals in Europe since 1993, when it became one of the first house music festivals ever. Europe’s Mysteryland has been continually held each year in the Netherlands. But the same cannot be said for Mysteryland USA. This festival debuted in 2014 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts- the very same venue where Woodstock was held in 1969. Unfortunately, Mysteryland USA was also short-lived and was cancelled in 2017.
3. Tomorroworld US
A third U.S. festival was cancelled in the same time period as the previous two, and this time it was Tomorrowland’s sister festival. In September of 2013, the first international edition of Tomorrowland– the renowned electronic music festival held annually in Belgium- made its spectacular debut in the Chattahoochee Hills near Atlanta, Georgia. This festival drew in about 140,000 visitors from over 75 countries. In 2015, the festival was cancelled on the third day (except for Dreamville campers) due to inclement weather, limited transportation, and poor planning. Thousands were left stranded, some even sleeping on the side of the road without food or water. Several near-riots and looming lawsuits later, TomorrowWorld announced that the festival would be cancelled indefinitely.

Support Independent Electronic Music Artists With Beatport's New Weekly Playlist

Discovering talented producers before they headline festivals is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences for any fans of dance music. Now, finding underground artists is even easier thanks to Beatport. 
The company will plug them in their new playlist, "Best New Independent Artists," which will update weekly to illuminate promising talents without access to the big-budget backing of a major label. The groundbreaking playlist, which Beatport says is the first of its kind, will benefit both fans who want to discover new songs as well as the artists behind them, who will connect with new audiences around the world. 
Beatport is collaborating with independent artist distribution partners like TuneCore, DistroKid and Music Hub to curate the playlist, according to a press release. These three partners are now actively accepting music submissions from independent artists who are looking to expand their reach.
Beatport CEO Robb McDaniels and TuneCore CEO Andreea Gleeson.c/o Press
It's no secret that major labels wield their influence to market their artists and blitz the electronic music scene, making it particularly difficult for new artists to find their footing when promoting their music. By spotlighting the craft of emerging talent, Beatport is empowering them to forge connections within their strong DJing community.
"By curating a dedicated space for independent electronic music artists, Beatport is not only providing a platform for discovery but also ensuring that standout self-produced artists receive the recognition and compensation they deserve from the get-go," said Raphael Pujol, Beatport’s Vice President of Global Curation.
"While other platforms may struggle with the distribution of small payments to artists with fewer streams," she added, "our focus remains firmly on furthering the voices of independent creators and fostering a more equitable ecosystem for electronic music.

Rezz Breathes New Life Into Breakout 2016 Track, "Edge"

It's difficult to imagine Rezz's thumping 2016 hit, "Edge," any darker. But if there's anyone to reinvent the hypnotic track through an even eerier lens, its Rezz herself, who has released a new version of her breakout song.
Eight years ago, "Edge" helped put Rezz and her spellbinding production style on the map. Now it's reached new heights by virtue of a massive rework, which is out now on her longtime home of mau5trap.
Conjuring her signature ominous soundscapes while channeling the original track's stomping, industrial undertow, "Edge (2024 Version)" propels Rezz's classic into the future. She initially debuted the crowd-pleaser at her Phoenix show on April 20th and has since been playing it out on tour.
"The OG 'edge' is one of the tracks that is so special to me," Rezz wrote on Instagram. "what it did for my early career & exposure meant so much & was such a surprise. I decided to make a new version & feel sooo stoked about it."
In other Rezz news, she recently announced plans to host her very own curated, festival-style event, "Hypno Circus."
"Whether it ends up being a whole festival, who knows, but one thing is for sure. I’ll definitely be having an event and it’s going to be called Hypno Circus," Rezz told EDM.com in a recent exclusive interview. "Maybe it won’t end up being a crazy Lost Lands scale of festival, but maybe it’s two nights at a really sick venue where people can fly out to the event and have two days. My stage is going to be very circus-branded."
You can find "Edge (2024 Version)" on streaming platforms here.

Café Mambo Ibiza drops ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ in Peterborough

Café Mambo Ibiza lands ‘under the bridge’ this summer as the iconic dance music brand brings a host of top-tier DJ talent together to relive the massive dance tunes that soundtracked Ibiza for generations of clubbers. In partnership with Mixology, Café Mambo Ibiza’s ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ drops a shower of Balearic glitter on ‘UNDER’, the unique, urban location beneath the Nene Flyover in Peterborough. Up to two thousand clubbers will gather on Saturday, 15th June for an outdoor party like no other. Serving up the timeless Ibiza classics are Judge Jules, Todd Terry, Lovely Laura & Ben Santiago, Phats & Small, and Shades Of Rhythm. Tickets for this unmissable event are available for just £34.95 (+ booking fee) from www.under.events/mambo.
For 30 years, Café Mambo Ibiza has been synonymous with Ibiza sunsets and quality dance music. Mambo has played host to every big name in dance music, not to mention the infamous BBC Radio 1 Ibiza weekends. ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ will be a spectacular celebration of those true Ibiza classics in a location that harks back to the original spirit of rave.
Judge Jules steps up to the Mambo turntables. Jules has played a pivotal role in dance music since the 90’s. With Pete Tong, he kicked off the weekend clubbing adventures for the nation via his hugely popular Radio 1 show. Few DJs know Ibiza better than Jules. His Judgement Sunday night in Ibiza was a must-visit and focal point for the San Antonio club scene. He knows every Ibiza classic and is sure to drop the biggest and best for those who make the journey to Peterborough. 
Todd Terry is another bonafide house music legend. His productions through the late 80’s and 90’s such as his remixes of ‘I’ll House You’ by Jungle Brothers and ‘Missing’ by Everything But The Girl, helped shape the direction of house music. Responsible for classics like ‘Keep On Jumpin’ and ’Something Goin’ On’, the Indeep label boss remains a hugely-in-demand DJ and regularly produces new house music anthems. He’ll dig deep to get everyone under the bridge jumping.  
Anyone who’s been to Ibiza will know Lovely Laura & Ben Santiago. The sax and DJ duo have a long-running love affair with Ibiza. Regulars at Café Mambo, have held residencies at all the best spots on the white isle. Ben spins the massive house classics while Laura improvises on the sax, both vibing off each other to create an unforgettable set. 
You can’t discuss Ibiza classics without including ‘Turn Around’ by Phats & Small. ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ welcomes the energetic duo to the Mambo decks for the first time and they are ready to invoke the spirit of ‘99 when they scored three top 10 hits, crashed through millions of sales, and won BRIT and MOBO nominations. 
Peterborough legends Shades Of Rhythm are set for a huge homecoming set as they get UNDER reverberating to the songs of their stone-cold classics ‘Sweet Sensation’, ‘Sounds of Eden’ and more. They land at ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ on a mission to transport the baying crowds back to electronic music’s golden era.   
Those lucky enough to get a ticket can expect an incredible location, world-class DJs, an immersive, audiovisual spectacle, state-of-the-art production, and classic tunes that are guaranteed to get hands-in-the-air.

Label Spotlight- Phase Records DNB

Who are you? 
YOO! We are Phase Records DNB. Founded by myself  Gifta but pretty much everyone calls me Gabs. Since its creation, I have more or less run the label completely by myself but as we have grown and got busier, my label resident DJ and producer O/MEGA has stepped up into the role of label manager. He helps me with A&R, has great ideas, helps me out with tasks I don’t always feel like doing but need to be done and comes to networking events with me… it helps that we’re also super close friends too because we lead and work together with genuine love and respect. I, and Phase are lucky are to have him!
What’s your ethos?
Our ethos is to grow and nurture a community of talented and passionate misfits. All of us in Phase have got something a little bit different or quirky about us. Whether that be our sound or personality. We’re close, it’s a family affair! We want to help each other and the people we work with fulfil their potential and have a group of people they can trust, rely on and feel consistently supported by.
Tell Us Your Origin Story…
I lost my job during the COVID-19 pandemic and took it as a sign to just throw myself into music for a bit. The whole drum and bass scene went online and so did I. I created a Facebook page for myself and others to stream DJ sets from. That’s when I met Premonition. We became close very quickly. After some time of running the streaming page and meeting loads of other DJs and producers, they were like to me “Gabs look, you’re good at this. You can find talent and really motivate people, why don’t you make this a label.” After that, it all just snowballed and got crazy and busy. Now, here we are!
Where are you based?
I am based in East London but our label is international. We have resident artists dotted about all over the UK and abroad too. We represent talent and music from Italy, Austria, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, America, South Africa, Czech Republic, The Netherlands and Spain. It’s amazing really! London is definitely a tough cookie to crack but we will go wherever we are wanted!
Do you have a specific sound or vibe?
Our sound and vibe is complex to explain. It’s best described as a theme of darkness. But darkness and dark drum and bass have so many interpretations. Because art and music are subjective right? We want to push this… some people thrive in the dark, some fear it, and some run towards the light at the end of dark tunnels. Equally, some welcome it. I like to believe we are too maximal to be considered a minimal drum and bass label, but too minimal to be a label categorised by purely heavy music. It was during one of our first-ever label nights that we jokingly coined the term ‘Skatamal’ and it kinda just stuck.
Do you have a regular artist roster- who can we see releasing with you?
We do have a regular roster of producers. My residents tend to take priority in our release schedule. That, currently, includes Dapreme, Xyde, Premonition and their solo alias’, Artillery, R3IDY, Charis, Miyamoro, Ekstatic, Vispera and myself. We also have an extended family who release with us regularly because they really embody our sound, vibe and ethos. So that would be Ominous, Inertia, Kevala, Albees, Furious Freaks and Noise Parfumerie. We also have really exciting releases coming from C-DU, Exile and Coppa and a huge remix album on its way too featuring many of our idols!
Tell us about your A&R process…
I’m always looking for new producers. I scout hard on Instagram, Soundcloud and Spotify. I’m always networking online and offline and most of our releases have come off the back of building a relationship first. Usually started by me fan-girling in the DM’s over a track or release I’ve heard from the producer. Laurence (O/MEGA) is really good at A&R too and follows my way of doing things with that. We watch people for a while, we get to know people. We’re picky, but we are open-minded and want to work with driven and passionate people who have something unique about them. Laurence knows what I like, but we’re also super honest with each other and with our producers. We want the best for them, we want them to grow, feel supported and we want the best for our label. We’re quite hands on with the entire process.
What makes you different from other labels?
I do think our community vibe is special and our dedication to growing artists to be well-rounded. We will coach you on absolutely anything and everything. From production to DJing and finding your sound, growing your social media and understanding and navigating the music business world. We also really support artists spreading their wings and finding success outside of our label. I am always looking for opportunities for my people to do things away from the brand because I want to see them fly! Everyone’s goals are different, and we do our best to lead and support with this mind. 
What does it take to run a bass music label in 2024?
Resilience, organisation, patience, discipline, consistency, flair, tenacity, determination, the ability to say ‘no’, visibility… I could go on and on about this! It’s hard work, it takes sacrifice. You have to love what you’re doing and do it with absolute conviction. 
What have you got coming up we should look out for?
We have our own stage at Hospitality on The Beach this year with Waeys headlining our stage. It’s a huge honour for us as a team and I Have to give thanks to Chris Goss and Hospital Records for their belief in me and our team. Aside from that, keep expecting monthly releases and of course our big remix project to start 2025 as well as the continuation of our Between The Beats podcast!

Citizen Kain drops ‘Your Heart EP’ with Eleonora

“Your Heart,” a stunning EP by Citizen Kain featuring Eleonora and a remix signed Fred Lenix. This intriguing three-tracker weaves emotions and powerful beats to tell an otherworldly story, reading as both emotionally charged and aggressively propelled.
The title track, “Your Heart,” is a lovely collaboration with Eleonora. It features her delicate but slightly eerie vocals. The bumpy and jolting bassline allowed the music to move and come alive. They give vitality to the underlying melody and its longing lyrics. The song has a dynamic feel that builds over time, propelling it between strong highs and deeper lows. The chord sequence creates a sense of anticipation throughout, which only eases during the breakdowns and then rises back up.
The great Fred Lenix then delivers the hard-hitting remix, complete with echoing drums. This rendition provides the original music with a bouncy yet raw sound. The strings are paired with choppy and layered voices for a well-rounded composition. Rhythmic elements appear and disappear, occasionally combining to produce a sense of depth throughout the track. This mix, infused with expertise and contagious strength, will inspire the listener with powerful and appealing sounds.
The EP concludes with “One Day“, a lighter and dreamier composition that elegantly builds its soundscape. Punchy synths and mixed beats create a throbbing ambiance that pulses with energy. The music is laced with hypnotic beats and rhythmic precision to create a compelling and incredibly bright environment. This is a dancefloor hymn that will inspire and rally dancers around the world.
From beginning to end, “Your Heart” is a beautifully produced composition. It defies musical conventions while remaining intensely personal and moving. It’s the kind of release that imprints itself on your consciousness and keeps you wondering what divine alchemy Citizen Kain will concoct next.

Phatwell Brings Back Swedish EDM Sound With New Single ‘Get This Feeling’

Earlier this year, Phatwell captivated our new music feeds with an emotional single titled ‘Time You Got For Love’. The track was a heartfelt tribute to his close friend Kamal, who tragically took his own life. The single quickly became Phatwell‘s most successful release, resonating deeply with listeners. Many shared how the song helped them appreciate their loved ones more, highlighting its profound impact.
Building on this success, Phatwell has now released ‘Get This Feeling’. Dropped just this week, the track continues to showcase the signature Swedish house sound that Phatwell fans adore. ‘Get This Feeling’ instantly transports listeners back to the golden era of 2010, reminiscent of the iconic sounds of Avicii and Basto. However, Phatwell infuses it with a modern twist, making it both nostalgic and fresh. The accompanying vocals perfectly complement the track, enhancing the tone and delivering lyrics that are both familiar and catchy. This seamless blend makes ‘Get This Feeling’ an instant hit.
“I just felt like I had to push myself to write a song that had more positive vibes. I could probably write hundreds of songs about Kamal’s suicide and wallow in my grief but I feel like I need to move on. But if you listen a little more carefully, there is desperation and melancholy in this song too.” said Phatwell

Released 11 Years Ago: Axwell – Centre Of The Universe

Axwell is mostly known for his work together with Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, under the legendary name of Swedish House Mafia, but his solo work never disappointed either. In 2013, the Swedish icon released one of his biggest hits and the first song post the Swedish House Mafia breakup, ‘Centre Of The Universe,’ a track which quickly became part of the beautiful image that progressive house holds in electronic music.
The emotional instrumental is a masterpiece created by the Swedish DJ, and the piano leads of this song just give goosebumps to those who appreciate every element of a well produced track. With this production, you can feel the passion and love that Axwell has for the job and that he puts in every piece of work he does. Besides an amazing instrumental, Magnus Carlson’s vocals took the song to a different level. The lyrics and the melody of this track is just something magical and can get stuck in the heads of many listeners.
‘Centre Of The Universe’ was premiered by British DJ, Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show at the time and has received great love from the audience. This resulted in Pete also naming the track his ‘Essential New Tune,’ and Axwell receiving support from names like Zane Lowe and Danny Howard. The classic also got a remode from Axwell and was used as the intro to his iconic performance on Tomorrowland’s mainstage in 2013.
This song truly takes you on a musical journey which speaks about love. It is that kind of track that reminds people of their greatest memories created while listening to it.

On May 26th, 2024, on Governors Island in New York City, Blacky played “Ronaldinho” live, for the first time, to an enthused mix of dance music fans during We Belong Here‘s Weekend 1 showcase.
