Nitefreak joins forces with &friends and vocalist Phina Asa to make Tomorrowland Music Debut with Beautiful Single, “Ike Onu”

African producer Nitefreak recently reunited with Afro-house collective helmed by Sean Thomas AKA &friends and key vocal collaborator Phina Asa for a joint-release entitled “Ike Onu”, to make their debut via acclaimed international dance brand Tomorrowland’s record imprint.
This formal collaborative production between Nitefreak and &friends follows up the success of Nitefreak’s remix of &friends’ pivotal single “Ode Ireti” ft. Oluwadamvic and eL-Jay. The remix saw unprecedented, viral success – receiving massive radio and touring support from top names in the space including Keinemusik, the infectious chorus “o-le-le” has become a staple in the sets of many titans of dance music.
“Ike Onu” means “Stronger Together” in the native African language of Igbo.  The song is smooth and soulful, with Phina Asa’s vocals making their way back to the &friends soundwaves for the third time this year, following up her first single “Dangerous” and the projects’ Armada Music debut with an official cover of Armin Van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels Like”. 
The poignant percussion of the track boasts both signature sonic elements that belong to both &friends and Nitefreak all on their own, but find their way to the same track in perfect harmony.  The lyrics of the song are heartfelt, reflecting on the challenges of the modern world while recognizing the complexity of life and importance of unity and collaboration for growth and resilience.   The meaning of the track aptly demonstrates the continued creative partnership that has helped put both Nitefreak and &friends’ productions on a world stage.
Sharing on the lyrics of the track, Phina Asa says “The idea behind this song was that I thought about the world today, and how it doesn’t look how it used to.  It’s getting more challenging  and complex, and in life we can’t thrive on our own without any help.  We need people to support us, push us, hold us accountable, and help us grow.”
2023 is already delivering a thoughtfully produced, artfully composed compilation of works from both Nitefreak and &friends respectively.  Through a holistic, multifaceted approach, both artists are set to make their way to even more dance floors around the world to unite us all.

Example & Moss Team Up For Bass Heavy Monstercat Debut, “Strictly 4 Tha”

Example is a legend in not only the UK, but the global dance and hip-hop scene too. Platinum albums, chart-topping singles, headline festivals slots, and a lengthy stint releasing inescapable anthems that bridge the gap between electronic, rap, and pop are merely a couple of Example’s many career accolades.
Debuting his project in 2017, Moss has risen to become one of Australia’s most enchanting artists. Known for his bass-driven heaters, he has shared the stage with Skrillex, RL Grime, and Flosstradamus, to name a few. On top of his DJing skillset, Moss’s mind-bending sound design has been supported by Marshmello, Yellow Claw, and Jauz, with recognition from the top regional outlets of Rolling Stone AU and triple j.
Together, these two make an incredible team, bringing enormous energy in their most recent collab that also pairs as their debut on Monstercat, titled “Strictly 4 Tha”. Laced with a gritty rap vocal from Example, Moss expertly weaves in electrifying synth chords and thundering bass wubs to make this one really go off.
Another aspect that truly makes this collaborative project unique, is that the cover art for “Strictly 4 Tha” was painted by Example himself. This graffiti-esque blend of eye-catching components proves that Example’s artistry extends beyond his music-making abilities.

She’s Excited! Creator Ann Wichmann Re-Teams Up With Brother Volker for New Project Beyond Darkwave: this is SuperWAV

When YEDM originally interviewed German darkwave powerhouse and multimedia artist Anne Wichmann mid-pandemic, we covered a host of topics, from the COVID lockdown to her videos to her generally “difficult” psyche, but the fact that she had also made music with her brother, guitarist Volker Wichmann, in the early 00s. The partnership presumably ended when Anne moved to Brooklyn from their native Hamburg, Germany. Now, almost two decades later, the duo have reunited (although they still live on different continents) to create SuperWAV, a stripped down rock project that just released its second EP, aTypical.
Given Anne’s largely darkwave and electro background and the fact that the siblings likely had to use a lot of digital tech to create the music together due to their physical distance, SuperWAV is surprisingly sparse when it comes to electronic musical elements. They’re present, but the pair has been decidedly focused on brass tacks with both their debut EP, Elements, and the just-dropped aTypical. According to Anne:
Despite the stripped-down, bare bones rock feel to aTypical, it’s also certainly true that it’s a very nuanced EP. One could expect nothing less from Anne Wichmann and her blood relatives. Each track is named after one of the five personality archetypes; both the lyrics and music are meant to be an interpretation of each one. “The Lover,” for example, is rough and passionate and explores the old adage, “love is blind” in the lyrics, while “The Innocent” is full of ambient echo and the lyrics discuss the inevitable destruction of innocence.
Dubbed “stoner rock” by the band themselves, fans of Anne’s former projects will struggle to find the connection to her old darkwave work but it is there in subtle ways. While they wanted to keep the music on the punk edge of post punk or the minimal edge of grunge, there are still elements of drone and darkwave in the background production and tone of the album, respectively. SuperWAV’s first EP, 2018’s Elements had more obvious connections to electronica, but the backing production, arrangement and engineering of aTypical relied on that darkwave knowledge from past projects, according to Volker.
No matter what you call this new Wichmann project, fans will likely see the sister-brother duo going back and forth over the lines of analog and digital in many ways as the continue to develop the project. It seems to be a point of interest for both of them. In the meantime, SuperWAV are building a super wave of a discography and fans should expect the unexpected from this dynamic musical duo.
aTypical is out now and can be streamed on Spotify.

Eole’s New Extravagant French House EP From Yesterday Until Tomorrow

French artist Maxence Janvrin, better known as Eole, has released a new two-track EP, From Yesterday Until Tomorrow, via Enchanté Records. After actively DJing in Paris for the last 5 years, and gaining inspiration from hot contemporary artists like Fred Again…, Sammy Virji and Kaytranada, Eole’s captivating sound dares to reinvigorate French House. Despite this being Eole’s debut release, the young producer has already worked with luxury brands and tastemakers, composing tracks and scores for Kourtrajmé, Gucci, Arte, Charles de Vilmorin, Zalando, Rochas and Palais de Tokyo. Not to mention holding the title as French music ambassador for JBL Europe. From Yesterday Until Tomorrow is set to further solidify Eole as a stalwart in French House and beyond.
Spawning richly-textured and tight UK House beats with a distinctly Parisian palette, From Yesterday Until Tomorrow is a mosaic of Eole’s hybrid influences. Embossed with glittering melodies which dance over pulsing breakbeat rhythms, glitched out vocal tracks pan and telescope in stereo. Both new tracks draw out an irreverently fresh summer sound filled with psychedelic avenues and ambient patches. From Yesterday features warbling synths and heavy bass filtered through a happy haze. Creating a perfect blend between minimal and nuanced. The EP’s featured track ‘Until Tomorrow’ debuted on Deep House Sweden – a dance-ready daze that pulls no punches and subtly draws you in with hypnotic vocals.
With the release of his new EP, Eole commented: “I wanted to break down the boundaries that French artists set for themselves, to dare to cross oceans with relevant music. All the experiences I’ve had with Gucci, JBL, Zalando, Foot Locker and even Kourtrajme have pushed me to assert myself with this project. I’ve been waiting for this moment for 15 years, to unleash the beast in the arena, so that Eole can finally starts blowing the storm.”

New Artist Spotlight: Millennium Resorts Combines the Best Parts of Future Bass, Dream Pop, and Prog Rock in Upcoming Album

With a base or early synth pop, the shoegaze concept of wall of sound and a heavy bent towards experimental or progressive electronica, the first single off Millennium Resorts’ shows how far one can take all of those genres. The Austin production/musician duo has technically made two singles out of the first track on their upcoming album, In the Key of David, because they are quite different from each other. If they were a fully EDM outfit, they might have called them an original and a VIP mix, but with one foot soundly in prog rock and shoegaze, they used “full album version” and “radio edit.” No matter what you call them, the two versions of “Happiness” are a great introduction into the immersive, multi-genre world of Millennium Resorts.
With “Happiness” releasing just this past week on October 27, Millennium Resorts plan to release one more track, “The Big Show,” before In the Key of David drops on January 26. Presumably, these are the first two tracks of the album, as they’ve said it’s a concept album and meant to be listened to from start to finish.
That said, “Happiness” works quite well as a stand-alone piece. With shoegaze-style ambient programming and guitar riffs licking at the edges of the song, the full version channels dream pop like M83 or Washed Out but with a different, more rock-forward format. The Moog-style ambient synths are there to support the vox and guitar rather than all the elements flowing together. As the duo were inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd and other progressive rock acts in the genre’s heyday, it makes sense that “Happiness” would flow in this way. With a healthy dose of experimental composition as well, the album piece is somewhere in the space where MGMT would meet Silversun Pickups: utilizing all the best elements of every modern genre to create an immersive and emotive experience. Once the guitar solo kicks in near the end of the nearly eight-minute track, listeners will be completely drawn in.
The radio edit of “Happiness” has a shorter intro but there is nonetheless a different intro created for it. The verse and initial music also sound more minimal and raw. Whether this is because the Millennium Resorts created different production or simply because the cuts and edits are so masterful that it creates the feeling of a completely different track doesn’t really matter; it’s a different experience.
Aside from all the style and substance of their work, Millennium Resorts seem to be all about the experience. They want to immerse the listener in this world of sound they’ve created, and if “Happiness” is anything to go by, they’re excellent at doing just that. In the Key of David will likely be an even headier experience, and fans of this experimental style of dream pop mixed with prog rock and a touch of future bass should look forward to it.
“Happiness” is out now and can be streamed on Spotify or Bandcamp. The subsequent teaser track and the full album In the Key of David will be available on these same platforms in November and January, respectively.

Long time friends and studio buddies, Tobtok and farfetch’d, finally reveal their 6-track My Friends EP in all its experimental glory. Marking an evolution in sound from their multi-platinum-selling singles of yesteryear, this passion project draws inspiration from all sides of their musical tastes, spanning house through rave, French and glitch with sprinkles of disco and a kick of breaks and drum ’n’ bass.
The EP opens up with “I Like When You,” a delightful French piano house tune. Bristling with energy, this track sets the tone for the EP, with its distant vocals and bright piano notes along a bustling beat. The next track, “So Good” takes in even farther with an almost choral vocal singing along with the building piano notes.
Next, we come to the title track, featuring more of a modern house breakdown before we get the amazing synths that take the track to the next level. The next track, “We All Fall Down” finally sees the duo explore more vibey and emotional territory. The house beats are still there in the background, but the synths and production all point to something more introspective.

Paul van Dyk and DJ Pierre AKA Phuture Drop New ACID TRAXXX EP

Paul van Dyk and DJ Pierre AKA PHUTURE, two icons of the dance music industry, have teamed up for a brand new 3-track EP, ACID TRAXXX. The EP’s title track, based on PHUTURE’S 1987 single “Acid Tracks” seeks to bridge the gap between classic and contemporary styles. Featuring those signature 303 basslines and squelching acid house synths, ACID TRAXXX is sure to excite fans old and new.
Clocking in at over 8-and-a-half minutes long, “ACID TRAXX” is meant to transport you back to an old school warehouse rave. Its thrumming bassline and grooving hi-hats have an unmistakable peak hours vibe to it. The massive second buildup in the drop will have you feeling euphoric.
ACID TRAXXX also features a solo single from DJ Pierre and PvD respectively. DJ Pierre’s track, “PHUTURE ACiD!” kind of picks up where “ACID TRAXXX” leaves off. The acid synths are heavy and the urgency of the drop rises with the hi-hats. Featuring an insane breakdown, DJ Pierre shows why he is a true pioneer of acid house.
PvD’s solo track “FILTY ACID” ties a nice bow on the EP bridging that gap between the old school and the “big room techno” that has become popular at festivals around the globe. The acid synths are prominent in this one, but I feel like the propulsive kick drum was what really set this one apart.
“Working with DJ Pierre has been a dream come true,” Paul van Dyk says. “He’s a founding member of music as we know it and revolutionized electronic music with his innovative use of the Roland TB-303. We wanted to create a track that pays homage to the roots of electronic music while pushing boundaries and taking listeners on a sonic journey.”
“Teaming up with Paul has been an incredible experience,” DJ Pierre says. “’ACID TRAXXX’ is a fusion of our musical worlds, and it captures the essence of what both of us stand for in the world of electronic music.”
Check out the ACID TRAXXX EP from Paul van Dyk x PHUTURE x DJ Pierre, out now on VANDIT Alternative. PvD will be hitting the road for some upcoming US tour dates to wrap up the year. Make sure to check him out if he comes to your city.

Their revolutionary audio performance, featured at Pukkelpop in 2022 and 2023, transformed The Booth stage into an all-encompassing 360° audiovisual experience, immersing attendees in a sonic landscape.
As autumn 2023 approaches, KRANKk is gearing up for the launch of their sophomore album ‘Late Nights In Antwerp’. This album promises collaborations with iconic artists like Selah Sue, Yann Gaudeuille, A-F-R-O, Splurgeboys, Logan_olm, Ragga Twins, and more.

Dive into ‘Into My Home’, a rhythmic drum and bass masterpiece co-created by KRANKk and Yann Gaudeuille, who has previously collaborated with Belgian luminaries Coely and Dvtch Norris. This track seamlessly fuses soul-stirring vocals with pulsating rhythms, offering listeners an unforgettable sonic voyage.
KRANKk describes “‘Into My Home’ as a narrative of discovering solace amidst life’s tumultuous waves. It stands as a testament to the unifying power of music.
The production of KRANKk and Yann Gaudeuille is nothing short of exhilarating. It’s a harmonious blend of energetic drum and bass with poignant vocals. While KRANKk’s music feels avant-garde, it reverberates with echoes of legendary acts like Burial or Kode9 + the spaceape.
Lovers of Chase & Status, Andy C, Shy FX, and Skeptical are in for a treat.
Anticipate the album’s grand release in spring 2024.”

Precocious producer Niilas shares hypnotic new house track, ‘Oshea’

Norwegian producer and composer Niilas (Peder Niilas Tårnesvik) has unveiled another single, ‘Oshea’, on October 20th 2023. This is the second track off his upcoming fourth album River Of Noise, set for release on the 3rd of November 2023. His award-winning music has received widespread acclaim, earning airtime on BBC Radio 1, obtaining recognition and praise from the likes of VICE, Stereogum, Magnetic Magazine and ElectronicGroove. and accumulated over 1 million plays across all platforms. He is known for his energetic live performances – he headlined at Munch-museum, appeared at Øyafestivalen 2022 which featured Gorillaz, and performed at Spot Festival 2023 before notable artists Caribou and Todd Terje. Niilas pays homage to his indigenous Sámi heritage and Arctic aesthetics in his music, which combines folk instruments with electronic textures from a variety of genres.
‘Oshea’ is a potent organic house track that is further testimony to Niilas’ prowess as a producer. It begins with a glittering passage from the santur (an Iranian stringed instrument played with mallets) performed by seasoned Iranian musician and composer Misraeed Hosseiny Panah. Just as you begin settling into the mesmerizing melody, a house beat and heavy bass launch the listener into a different dimension. A brooding synth progression slowly builds tension as more textures are added in layers, while the santur continues its hypnotizing dance over the rest of the music. The beat recedes and returns with more intensity, and the track ends as it began, with the solo santur dissolving in an eddy of delay. 
Nillas commented: “I tried making an organic house track with the brilliant musician Mirsaeeds Hosseiny Panah. He is a great performer on the Persian instrument Santur, so our session was really amazing (and I have some backup material that might see the light of day in the future…). Blending the fields between organic, acoustic, digital, synthesized and manipulated was key for this track, and I’m very happy how it turned out”.
