OLING drops long-anticipated ‘Virtue’ single

OLING just dropped the heater we’ve been fiending for all year! The young Swedish melodic house wizard’s new single ‘Virtue‘ is finally out on Jeremy Olander‘s Vivrant label and it’s an absolute monster.
If you checked out OLING’s ‘Roots Open‘ event series at that insane ore mine location in his hometown of Falun last summer, you’ll know this track is something seriously special. ‘Virtue’ was the highlight of those parties, with the massive singalong vocals and huge uplifting melodies getting the crowd utterly amped.
Since then, all the big dogs like Digweed, Lane 8, Bäumel, and the Vivrant boss himself have been hammering this throbbing melodic beast in their record boxes. It’s been one of the most hotly anticipated IDs doing the rounds.
And now it’s officially out! ‘Virtue‘ kicks off with those emotional vocal chants riding OLING’s trademark hard-hitting drums before exploding into a drop that’s equal parts euphoric and sinister. With the warm pads, evolving harmonies, and intricate rhythmic concrete, it’s a perfect singalong raver for the summer festivals.
The release is a huge look for the incredibly talented OLING. He’s been low-key smashing it for a few years now, but ‘Virtue’ feels like his real coming-out party as one of the most exciting new producers in the melodic house scene. The future is bright!
To top it off, OLING is taking this spiritual vibe on the road supporting heavyweights like Olander, Mathame, Korolova and Cristoph across Scandinavia and the UK in the coming months. But let’s be real – ‘Virtue’ is about to become the biggest singalong at raves across the globe this summer.

Boys Noize and Rico Nasty Reunite for Rowdy EP, "HARDC0RE DR3AMZ"

Boys Noize and Rico Nasty have joined forces to release HARDC0RE DR3AMZ, a new three-track EP.
Kicking off the record is "Arintintin," a hyperactive dance track with a punk edge. Next up is "Vvgina," a techno-inspired banger with cathartic lyrics exploring heartbreak and the quest for liberation from past relationships.
Rounding out the EP is "H.O.T.," an unapologetic breakbeat and hip-hop crossover highlighted by Rico Nasty's fierce vocals. Accompanying the single track is a nostalgic music video featuring camcorder footage and plenty of Y2K fashion, like parachute pants. Check out the video below.
Rico Nasty says she connected with Boys Noize, one of the electronic music industry's most influential producers, six years ago. They found themselves in the studio and eventually performed together at the 2024 FriendShip festival.
"Fast forward again, maybe 3-4 years, and we did a couple more sessions. We kept gravitating towards techno dance music," Nasty said in a statement shared with EDM.com. "He started putting me on to German dance music, and we traded a bunch of songs back and forth. Little by little over a few days, we ended up making three more songs that we really loved and decided we wanted to share with the world. Every session was so much fun and I'm sure that energy is felt across all of these tracks. One of my favorite songs on the project is... all of them. That's why she is so short!"

Rave Is The Weapon is ESSEL and Alex Mills’ latest banger on Mark Kight‘s Toolroom Records.
Toolroom’s main lady ESSEL is back on the label with Alex Mills, another talented female powerhouse who is a DJ, producer, and singer.
ESSEL’s next song comes after her Toolroom hit “The Edge,” which has already been streamed 4 million times and played on Radio One almost 40 times.
She has gotten a lot of radio support over the past few years, which led to her being booked as a DJ at Radio One’s “Big Weekend” in May with the biggest artists in the world.

Alex Mills is also going on an amazing trip! Last year, her song “Million Dollar Bill” was a top 40 hit in the UK.
She is also a very good singer and has written songs for Camelphat, Solardo, and Ferreck Dawn. There is a different kind of energy around these two when they are in the same room. It’s clear that they are friends and want to have fun, and this comes through in a big way in the song.
It BANGS! A peak-time tech houser like ESSEL’s Beatport chart-topping songs “Sweat” and “Lennon,” with a line that will be streamed on dance floors and at events for a long time to come… “The rave is the weapon!”

Eli Brown and Lilly Palmer’s “Gasoline” on Insomniac’s Factory93

Got a fresh techno heater for you to dissolve your brain cells to. The one and only Eli Brown just dropped a new collab with fellow techno destroyer Lilly Palmer called “Gasoline” and let me tell you, this one’s an absolute rager.
I’ve been following Brown‘s releases for a while now after getting turned on to that mean “Escape” EP he put out on Insomniac’s Factory93 label back in 2021. This new “Gasoline” track landed on the same esteemed imprint, which makes total sense given how this is pretty much a turnt-up, adrenaline-fueled DJ tool primed to ignite the most rambunctious underground parties.
From the very first kick, “Gasoline” just does not let up. It’s a full-on techno assault of pummeling beats, snarling distorted basslines, and these wild rave synth arpeggios that’ll have you pulling a Gollum face on the dancefloor. And the way Brown and Palmer wield those demented vocal samples is just twisted – one minute they’re burying them under murky filters, the next they’re chopping them up into haunting lingua franca for the techno hellscape they’ve constructed.
Dudes know how to work a build too. There’s this one part where the kicks and hi-hats get vacuumed up by what sounds like a black hole voice until you’re straight up dry heaving for the droppppp…and then WHAM! Air horn cityyyyyy. Absolute primal techno tantrum designed to shatter beer bottles.
Brown’s been putting out some seriously well-rounded dance music the past few years from tech house to deep techno to downright emotional vocal collabs. But “Gasoline” sees him and Palmer fully unhinged in psycho-purebred techno mode. No pretenses, no chill vibes…just blown subs and ruptured mushroom circuits aimed squarely at the darkest, most depraved after-hour havens. Don’t sleep, get gassin’!

Marsh talks about his new single “Warrior” on Anjunadeep

For electronic music producer Marsh, his latest single “Warrior” is far more than just another release. The uplifting yet goosebump-inducing progressive house track is a musical salute to his lifelong best friend Jimmy. He has been waging a courageous battle against Leukaemia since his diagnosis in 2022.
As Marsh puts pen to paper to describe the inspiration behind “Warrior”, his words transcend the dancefloor. His new song takes the listener inside the beautiful friendship that has defined his life.

Those shared experiences, spanning decades from childhood into adulthood, made Jimmy’s cancer diagnosis hit exponentially harder. Yet in the face of such adversity, Marsh watched his best friend display a resilience and fighting spirit nothing short of heroic.
The single’s aptly titled, as “Warrior” sees Marsh translating Jimmy’s unyielding spirit into a true progressive house anthem. Waves of ethereal melodies and rapturous builds conjure the emotional capacity of two friends. The record’s most powerful moment hits when the euphoric chords finally reach their peak – a fistpump-worthy salute to Jimmy’s incredible recent news of two consecutive clear cancer scans.
With “Warrior” he’s not only paid tribute to their bond through music, but doubled down on his support for the cause. He launched the record with an exclusive event in London donating all proceeds to the charity Leukaemia UK, with another livestream at Kew Gardens likewise raising funds.
As Marsh’s touring schedule ramps up and he prepares for his new “Aria” live show, “Warrior” is sure to be a set centerpiece and reminder of what’s most important – the persevering human spirit and the immeasurable power of friendship.

Napster Is Promoting Its Streaming Platform Through Fortune Cookies

Nearly 25 years after forever changing the fabric of digital music distribution, it seems Napster is still focused on innovation. This time around, they're experimenting with a more unconventional form of marketing: fortune cookies. 
Napster, which is now a streaming service, has partnered with OpenFortune, a marketing company whose mission is rooted in promoting brands through fortune cookies distributed to restaurants.
Their campaign will embed papers with QR codes into cookies to promote individual artists as well as the Napster platform, giving them a three-month free trial. Over 50 million fortune cookies will be distributed, Music Ally reports.
While it might seem silly on the surface, it's tough to deny the creativity of promoting music through an after-dinner snack. We're not aware of any data from OpenFortune elucidating how much a campaign like this can affect streaming numbers, but time will tell if their strategy is worth baking into a music release rollout.
