ANUQRAM Unveil Moving Remix Of Above & Beyond’s ‘Crazy Love’

The latest vocal Trance heartwarmer just got a deeper treatment for your by-the-beach cocktails.
Far and wide, critics absolutely loved ‘Crazy Love‘, the most recent Above & Beyond singalong. Featuring the lovely, iconic vocals of Zoë Johnston, old-school Trance leads and cute soft sounds. We’ve described the track before as “one of those pieces that works flawlessly: every element, every note, every lyric of the vocal. Everything“. And we stand by that.
Yet this recent take? Woah, it’s just as heavenly.
ANUQRAM
ANUQRAM, the hottest Electronic duo of the past seasons and the conjoint alias of renowned producers Max Meyer and WILDERNESS, delivered quite the remake. They’ve been releasing an incredible amount of music lately, with tracks like ‘Don’t Stop‘ and ‘Get On‘ being played all over the globe.
Their signature is not to stick to any genres. They’ve made it all: Progressive, Trance, Organic, and the list goes on. The only rule is to ace the productions. And that’s also true for their remix of ‘Crazy Love‘.
‘Crazy Love (ANUQRAM Remix)’
This was a great responsibility. Not only was the original coming from one of the largest acts in the Dance world out there, but the song itself is a masterpiece. But these guys jumped over the bar, and they did so in style.
Groovy, progressive, catchy, the remix has it all frankly. The signature melodies are there, Zoë’s celestial voice, a breakdown that, excuse me, remids me very briefly of Above & Beyond’s very own ‘Tri-State’ — my favourite track of all time by the way —, and so many other elements I can’t begin to describe because they all entwine and play along in such a way! If you wished ‘Crazy Love’ would get a deeper treatment, you’re in luck. I would know. I am in luck today!
Listen to ANUQRAM‘s remix of Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston‘s ‘Crazy Love‘ below, hitting the ‘Play’ button on the Spotify button we’ve attached. Also, click here to listen to the release on YouTube, and here to support it wherever you choose.

Jon Bon Jovi & Armin van Buuren Reveal Suprise Collab at Ultra

No stranger to delivering memorable live performances, Armin van Buuren pulled out all the stops at this year’s Ultra Music Festival, bringing out an incredible group of surprise musical guests during his mainstage set on Sunday.
The weekend’s most unexpected moment unfolded as Jon Bon Jovi took the stage to unveil Armin van Buuren’s unreleased remix of the legendary American rockstar’s iconic track ‘Keep The Faith.’ The collaboration came to life after the DJ and producer approached Bon Jovi with the idea of blending his distinctive trance style into the timeless rock anthem, resulting in a powerful, adrenaline-inducing fusion of the their two sonic outputs. Coinciding with Bon Jovi’s 40th anniversary of the band and the renowned Keep The Faith album, which soared to #5 on the US Billboard 200 and achieved double-platinum status, this remix adds an exciting twist to the track’s celebrated legacy.
Gryffin also made a surprise appearance during Armin’s mainstage set to perform their brand new track released on Friday, ‘What Took You So Long,’ which has been highly anticipated by fans since news of a joint studio session between the two artists was shared on social media last fall. The debut collaboration symbolizes two corners of the electronic dance music world colliding as both artists return to their dance music roots. 
Rounding out his star-studded lineup of surprise guests throughout the weekend, Armin van Buuren also brought out ARTBAT on the mainstage to play their recently released track ‘Take Off’. He also joined Oliver Heldens during his mainstage set on Sunday for their forthcoming linkup following their debut Armin van Buuren vs. HI-LO B2B at ASOT Rotterdam last month, as the pair teases multiple collabs in the works.

Grimes Played A DJ Set In Mexico — And Fans Weren’t Happy About It

Attendees hoped for a live performance, and she behind the decks felt disappointing to some.
It all started when FKA Twigs backed out of AXE Ceremonia festival in Mexico City, and Grimes was announced as the heir to the spot. The gathering took place this past weekend and counted with the presence of many bands and renowned acts from all genres, such as LCD SOUNDSYSTEM and Kendrick Lamar.
Since they knew of Grimes’ addition to the festival, fans were cheering and waiting for her appearance, hoping to see her perform some of her most select works to date, and some IDs as well. And that’s the key word here, “perform”, as when she appeared on stage, stood behind a DJ booth and mixed a set, festivalgoers weren’t pleased at all.
Even though some say she played a killer set, people argue she should’ve mentioned she’d be playing a DJ set instead of a live performance with dancers, extra lights, and so on. As of recently, fans took to her most recent Instagram post to express their discontent.
Some of the comments left on her post are (attached translation):
“Girl I hated you, had you told us it was going to be a DJ set I wouldn’t have bought my ticket” “Girl why did you play a DJ set, that sucks for real” “I love you beautiful dolly, although you went too far on the DJ set, but I forgive you darling” “We were sold an event as if she was going to perform a setlist of her music and instead she came to play a DJ set (…)” What do you think? Is it fair that she received as much backlash for a DJ set? Should it have been announced ahead of time?
Stay tuned for more.

Lorenzo Senni presents ‘Windows To Look In’ a project curated by Threes and selected by Italian Council

WINDOWS TO LOOK IN, a project by the artist Lorenzo Senni, one of the winners of the twelfth edition of Italian Council (2023), the prestigious international programme of the Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea of the Ministry of Culture that promotes Italian art in the world.
The project is part of Lorenzo Senni’s research path, which in the past has dealt with themes such as voyeurism and vandalism. In WINDOWS TO LOOK IN, the artist will create a work consisting of 14 photographs and a musical composition, exploring the concept of “false reflectivity”, conferred to the work by the special paint with which he creates the photographed subjects. These evoke the act of looking and looking at oneself, the need to compromise one’s self.
The project originates from a period of research and study in Los Angeles with American photographer John Divola. During this collaboration, Senni deepened his understanding of Divo- la’s photographic technique, which emerged as a significant source of inspiration for the entire project. In particular, the famous photographic series from the 1970s entitled ‘Dead Mirrors’ plays a key role in his influence.
The work will be previewed with an exhibition at the Fundação de Serralves in Porto and the entire project will be promoted internationally through a series of dedicated events, realised in collaboration with the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the MUNCH in Oslo.
At the end of the international promotion, WINDOWS TO LOOK IN will be exhibited at MAXXI L’Aquila Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, and will become part of its permanent collection. The entire artistic process will be documented in a film curated by Courtney Harrenmberg and a publication that will be presented at the FONDAZIONE ICA MILANO

Nexxus 604 Encourages You To ‘Free Your Consciousness’ With His Enchanting PSY Trance EP

The latest release from Nexxus 604 is the third EP, which came out on February 10, 2024. Free your Consciousness is dedicated to psychedelics as a phenomenon in our lives that opens the secret doors of consciousness and saves us from stereotypes. The single track, which bears the same name as the album “Free Your Consciousness,” calls us to insight, getting rid of stereotypes and moving towards dreams, to realize our hidden talents. Free your consciousness, thoughts globally and act in such a way as to make your dreams come true

GETTING TO KNOW (ARTIST NAME HERE)
Introduce yourself and your project
I’m Dmitry Smirnov, also known as Nexxus, and I was born in Russia. My parents were doctors, my mother is Ukrainian and my father is Russian. Generations of my grandfathers were fond of music, my maternal great-grandfather Spiridon Polishuk went through World War 2 and was a famous musician who played wind instruments. As a child, I graduated from music school in the Accordion class and studied for 7 years.
In 2006, after visiting a trance open-air, I decided to become a DJ and began purchasing DJ, sound and lighting equipment. I began organising events and performed at them. Soon, I began to be invited to perform at various events. In the period from 2008 to 2012, I managed to perform on the same stage with many famous artists.
At the same time, I developed a company providing technical support for events. I traveled extensively between 2009 and 2021, spending more than 1.5 years in India, studying spiritual practices and traveling by road by motorcycle, bus and train.
The number 604 in my nickname is not accidental; it symbolizes GOA – this is a special place in my life, where I’ve spent many wonderful days. Geographically, Goa is located in India, and is a historical place where the first hippies founded their settlements back in the 70s and began to live a free life, where, as a result of complete freedom, such a genre of music as Psychedelic trance was formed.
Explain what musical genre fits you best
Psychedelic trance / Progressive trance / EDM
Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you?
In the mid-90s, my mother gave me a cassette player and a set of dream trance records for my birthday. A couple of them were DJ Dado and Robert Miles, with legendary tracks known throughout the world.
At that time I was still studying at a music school and, of course, music of this level became something inspiring. 

What kickstarted your music career?
One of my friends invited me to an open air in the forest, at the time, I didn’t know that I would want to connect my life with this. The morning after that night in September 2006, I decided to become a DJ. 
Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time
Psychedelic trance has always been the main style for me, because it’s the only music that takes us to the farthest corners of the universe, sometimes abruptly bringing us back to earth and introducing us to ourselves. 
No other music does the same, at most other music brings pleasure from listening, but to get the same effect out of trance can only be achieved by engaging in spiritual practices. Of course, I also understand other styles of music, sometimes I play techno, progressive house, mostly more underground movements, but as I say, trance is the main music of my whole life.
Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers?
You need to do what you love, what you are willing to do even for free. Sooner or later, success cannot help but come if you do something sincerely.

How do you nurture your industry relationships?
I just make my music, sets and videos, post it online, and then people watch it and listen. Sometimes interesting guys write to me and offer to do something together.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
I have a team of my friends, with whom I create my channel with. Of course, such a volume of work cannot be done alone so that the result is of sufficient quality. Therefore, I am grateful to my team for their coordinated work and quality results. Also, of course, my mentors, who help me with technical difficulties during the production process.
Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you + Youtube links
Rammstein – Keine lust
I love Rammstein since my childhood. I have been to their concerts more than once and the power of the energy is simply off the charts. I also try to fill my tracks with high voltage.

Electric Universe – Gaijin Rocker
From the next two tracks I started listening to psychedelic trance, and then I liked the combination of electronics and electric guitar, which of course inspired me to create my recent track “Free your consciousness” and generally make this slogan my motto. 

Skazi – XTC

What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software?
Ableton Live, Ableton push, Beyerdynamic DT900 Pro, Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT 😊
Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel
Kazantip in general shaped my worldview in many ways, because this festival was a whole movement of freedom and art. It couldn’t even be called a festival, because it was art in its purest form, without any restrictions. The Republic of Kazantip had all the attributes of a real state and absolutely EVERYTHING and more was possible on its territory! Incredible designs, high level of show programs, all the world’s rave celebrities whose names would take several pages to list considered it an honor to perform there.
This event became a significant part of the world rave and was held for more than 20 years. I was lucky enough to visit 8 Kazantips and each of them was different, absolutely indescribable sensations that could only be felt “here and now”. Unfortunately, after Russia captured the Crimean peninsula, where Kazantip was held, the event was stopped. So Kazantip no longer exists, although as the organizers say it never existed, but we just dreamed it all..
The Ozora festival, which is still taking place in Hungary, is of course also a natural phenomenon that is difficult to describe in words, you just need to go and check out the atmosphere. I’ve been there several times and I advise everyone to try it.
Burning Man. This is an event that I have been preparing for for 5 years now, and it looks like I will definitely go there this year. I feel ready for it, and my project is part of the preparation. My move to the USA is also one of the steps on the way to Burning Man. Well, even the longest journey begins with the first step, and I’m almost there. We’ll see you there very soon, in 2024!

Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve?
I have so many of them that it’s hard to choose just one. Perhaps it is enough to visit the territory of Kazantip at 8 am to understand, it’s a pity that it’s not that simple anymore. 
What famous quote represents you best?
The hardest thing is to start taking action; everything else depends only on perseverance.
(Amelia Earhart)
If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why?
I think my “anywhere” would be Burning Man, and I’m already playing there. I’m working on Art Car this year, so dreams are becoming reality right now.
Music is….. (explain more)
Music is a universal language through which we can communicate. We may be from different countries, have different cultural differences and skin colour, but music unites us because when we hear it, we all feel the same thing. Moreover, it is not even necessary to learn this language; it is embedded in our consciousness from the very beginning.

One song you really couldn’t live without and why?
I can’t name just one song, because in different situations I can hum completely different songs to myself and there are so many of them that I can’t single out just one. I don’t have a favourite song, I love them all.
Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present)
Dj Dado, Robert Miles, Armin van Buuren, Raja Ram (1200 micrograms), Electric Universe. 

What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire?
On any dance floor, the most memorable moment is when it’s just you and the music. Achieving this state is what lights my fire.
Tell us more about your plans for the future
Of course, I’m going to continue to work hard on my content, release music and make videos, and develop my channel on YouTube. I’ve already got a few festival bookings lined up for this year and I plan to perform more in the future.
Any worldly advice you’d like to share?
Life is the greatest gift of the universe. We live once and we need to believe in our dreams and follow them, then we will live a happy life – and the meaning of life is precisely to be happy.

The Regenerator / Lately EP from Eelke Kleijn will ease everyone’s moods
The first track of the EP, ‘Regenerator‘, has rolling rhythms that provide an easy transition for the listener, especially if they’re at an event where they can get on the dancefloor very quickly from the barstools. This track includes tranquil sonic sounds that also supports maintaining a fun atmosphere as the listeners dance the day (or night) away. The second and last track of the EP, ‘Lately‘, is a much more energetic track as the rhythmic tempo leads the listeners to a state of excitement and relaxation wherever they may be. This track provides a vibe that one can find in classic trance hits of the late 90s-early 2000s, thus it can bring back fond memories for an old-school listener of this track of a memorable time in electronic dance music history.

David Guetta and MORTEN “The Future Is Now / The Truth”

David Guetta and MORTEN are back with a vengeance, dropping two scorching new tracks that are setting the stage for their highly-anticipated “Future Rave” musical movement. “The Future Is Now” and “The Truth” see the veteran producers fusing pounding techno grooves with visceral underground elements and speaker-rattling bass lines.
This fresh “Future Rave” sound is Guetta and MORTEN‘s brainchild. It melds main stage energy with an unmistakable underground edge. It’s a seamless combo that’s been delivering massive hits at festivals across the globe, whipping ravers both new and veteran into a feverish frenzy.
On “The Future Is Now,” punchy synth chords and arpeggiated drops interlock with a relentless techno stomp. On top of that ominous spoken vocals lend the track a deliciously dark, basement-club appeal. Its counterpart “The Truth” lays out Guetta and MORTEN’s mantra with pummeling bass stabs, blistering beats, cavernous sound design, and a hypnotic, vocal-driven breakdown primed to entrance the dancefloor.
“Future Rave” founders are locked and loaded to take their sounds to the iconic Hï Ibiza superclub for a wildly immersive residency experience. All season long, the duo will be going full tilt down the rabbit hole, crafting multi-sensory spectacles awash in the kind of thunderous grooves and mind-bending soundscapes that could only be birthed from the union of two certified legends.
With “The Future Is Now” and “The Truth” providing a tantalizing preview, punters can expect many more sonic vapors and residency revelries to manifest from these “Future Rave” ringleaders in no time.

Beyond the Mainstream: Discover 10 of the Best Independent Festivals of 2024

In all my years of immersing myself in the UK music party scene, one truth remains constant: Independent festivals reign supreme.
Unfortunately, more and more of the live event industry is becoming dominated by enourmous companies like Live Nation and Festival Republic and so, parties which were once havens of freedom have become more and more dominated by dodgy corporate practices.
Luckily, we’ve compiled a lineup of the top 10 independent festivals in the nation where you won’t encounter alcohol restrictions, excessive security measures, or exorbitantly priced drinks.
1. Cursus
Date: May 24th to May 26th
Venue: Mycen Farm in Dorset
Opening up our season of fun is Cursus, a tiny music and cider festival located deep in the wilds of wonderfully rural Dorset. Expect to find the best cider you’ve ever drunk, alongside a wonderfully friendly atmosphere and a diverse lineup of talented artists: In 2024 the festival will feature scene stalwarts, Mista Trick Collective, and 3 Daft Monkeys along with the up and coming Millie Manders and the Shuttup as headliners.
Caution: The event is tied to a badger cult. If you’re not a fan of these little white and black creatures, this festival might not be your cup of tea.

Rain Battered and Shut Down Ultra—But Not Before We Captured These Incredible Images

Not even a teeming onslaught of icy rain could stop the Ultra family from doing what they do best: rave.
Ultra Music Festival diehards paid no mind to the torrential downpour, which forced an evacuation on Friday night. Drenched in euphoria and lost in trance-inducing beats, a luminous diaspora of audacious ravers sparked to life across Bayfront Park, their hair whiplashing like diamond dust.
Undaunted by Mother Nature's soggy tantrums, legions of neon warriors turned puddles into makeshift stomping grounds  as Tiësto and SLANDER soundtracked the tempestuous mayhem. 
We were on the ground to capture the one-of-kind festival experience prior to its cancellation. Check out our exclusively gallery below. All photos for EDM.com by Kelly Knisel.

Axel Haube’s Dark and Hypnotic New ‘Virgo’ EP

German techno producer Axel Haube has released a new EP called Virgo, including Dreamers, the second song, and a remix from VNTM.
The EP kicks off with the title track “Virgo” and it sets the vibe immediately with these creepy, ominous synth lines layered over tribal-like beats. The harmonies have this haunting, trance-inducing quality to them too. It’s mysterious and suspenseful from the first few bars.
That ominous, heavy groove continues into the second song “Dreamers.” While it’s maybe a touch more melodic than the opener, with some cool arpy synths swirling around, the core of the track is still built on these deep, foreboding vibrations. Haube uses some ghostly vocal samples too that add to the overall sense of dread and intrigue.
Then for the finale, Haube teams up with VNTM for a totally stomping techno remix of “Virgo.” They really lean into the dark, hypnotic aspects of the original, with these winding synth lines that almost seem to burrow into your brain. The kicks are absolutely punishing too. It’s a seriously hard, unrelenting remix primed to wreck the darkest dance floors.
Virgo feels like Haube took listeners on this compelling, cinematic descent into murkier sonic realms. From the cryptic opening title track to the subterranean deepness of “Dreamers” to the sheer force of the VNTM remix, he creates these richly layered, atmospheric techno grooves that just envelop you in their hypnotic grasp. It’s an immersive, almost bewitching EP that looks set to be a real techno head-turner. I’m definitely going to be revisiting this one.
