[Electric-Mode] Multi-platinum Artist CMC$ Asks You to “Risk It All” on New Upbeat Pop-House Single, Featuring Terror Jr. Out Now on Day & Night Records/Soave

Dutch multi-platinum DJ and producer CMC$ teams up with genre-defying duo Terror Jr for their electrifying new single, “Risk It All,” a song that seamlessly blends organic, future house-inspired vibes with deeply emotive lyricism, all thoroughly wrapped in noticeable pop appeal.
Opening with a pulsing kick drum and euphonious melodies, the track instantly sets a hypnotic tone before Lisa’s ethereal vocals – reminiscent of legendary Top 40-oriented toplines – take center stage. Her voice soars over the “Risk It All”‘s heart-rending yet hopeful lyrics, delivering a performance that is both soul-stirring and festival-ready. The new release is an instant dancefloor gem, balancing melancholy and euphoria in a way that hits the feels but also slaps in a festival set while perfectly fitting radio airwaves or when listening to it at home. CMC$ reflects on the organic creative process behind the song:
“Lisa came to the Netherlands for a writers’ trip and rented a farmhouse somewhere in the countryside near Amsterdam. I went over there, and we wrote the song together in the farmhouse living room. The process went really smoothly, and within a few hours, we had the song ready! After making several production tweaks, we finally nailed it. This one’s a smash!” – CMC$

[GrooveCartel] Anyma releases first rap-techno driven song “Work” with Yeat

Anyma, a DJ, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist, comes out with his brand-new single “Work,” which features Yeat, the rap star.
The song comes right after Anyma announced that his third album, “The End Of Genesys,” would be coming out soon and after his previous single, “Neverland (From Japan),” came out.

Anyma and Yeat played “Work” for the first time together at The Sphere in Las Vegas. It was one of the most anticipated songs to come out of Anyma’s 12-date residency, and it was also the first time a rapper had ever performed at the famous venue. Fans were really excited about the track before it came out because Anyma and Yeat worked together in a way that wasn’t done before.
The song is a perfect mix of Anyma’s hypnotic, melodic techno sounds and Yeat’s experimental singing, and it will be on Anyma’s album The End of Genesys. The album will finish the Genesys trilogy’s score and include new singles “Angel in the Dark,” “Hypnotized” with Ellie Goulding, and “Voices In My Head” with Argy and Son of Son. It will also include more new music that Anyma premiered live during his Sphere residency, such as rumored collaborations with Grimes, FKA Twigs, 070 Shake, Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun, and others.
Anyma just finished playing his last four shows at Sphere as part of Live Nation’s Afterlife Presents Anyma “The End of Genesys” engagement. This came after an amazing eight sold-out nights as the first electronic music residency at Sphere. The dates were December 27–31, 2024, January 1, 10, and 11, 2025, and a total of 200,000 people came to all 12 events.
Anyma had a lot of great performers join him for his last few shows. A huge list of top acts, such as John Summit, Mau P, Peggy Gou, Solomun, and more, performed at each event.
Anyma’s highly praised albums Genesys and Genesys II, as well as brand-new material, were played during “The End of Genesys” residency. His high-quality live shows, which continue to captivate audiences around the world with their futuristic themes and ethereal aesthetic, were also shown. Alessio De Vecchi was the visual co-creative director and oversaw the art direction. Alexander Wessely was the head creative and stage designer, and the animation studio Woodblock did extra work on the production. Together, they made an unforgettable live music experience. Before, Adriatique, Amelie Lens, CamelPhat, Charlotte de Witte, Dixon, Mike Dean, Rampa, Tiësto, and other acts opened for them at shows in December 27–31, January 1, 10, and 11.

[EDM House Network] Play-Joh’s ‘Dirty Kicks’ EP Hits #1 on Beatport, Cementing His Rise in Tech House

Direct Action Records is proud to present the ‘Dirty Kicks’ EP, an explosive debut release from Chicago’s own Play-Joh — and it’s already making waves, landing the coveted #1 spot on Beatport. A longtime staple of the Chicago underground and founder of the Chicago DJ Academy, Play-Joh fuses the soul of classic house with the punch of modern tech house, creating a sound that’s as gritty as it is dancefloor-ready. This four-track EP delivers from start to finish: from the hypnotic vocal chops and basslines of the title track ‘Dirty Kick’, to the relentless groove of ‘Ma Money’, the tight drum work and shimmering textures of ‘Chicago Boiler’, and the peak-time power of ‘Crushed Horizon’.
Play-Joh’s story is just as compelling as his music. After stepping away from a successful legal career to pursue his passion full-time, he’s quickly become a force in the electronic scene. His breakout live tour in Tulum in 2024 captivated audiences, and now, from his base at Fort Knox Studios, he’s hard at work on his debut album. With a style rooted in deep grooves, bass-heavy rhythms, and a raw underground spirit, Play-Joh is redefining what it means to evolve as an artist — proving that it’s never too late to chase the sound in your soul.

Listen to “I Die for this Love” by SUND featuring James KNIGHT$

This past week has brought exciting festival line-up announcements, even though we’ve seen fewer electronic or pop releases than usual. However, there’s no reason to feel down! My inbox often reveals a hidden gem just when I least expect it. Moreover proving that incredible pop releases are just waiting to shine. If you’re a fan of the Pet Shop Boys, you’ll especially want to check out the collaboration between Swedish producer Sund and British singer James Knight$. (Known for his work as KNIGHT$ and Boytronic). Remember, he was also the captivating vocalist of the synth-pop band Scarlet Soho back in the day.
Although I’m not deeply familiar with Sund or his body of work, my Swedish heritage naturally sparked my interest in his track “I die for this Love.” I’m incredibly glad I took the time to listen. The composition features nostalgic analogue synths that evoke a sense of warmth and familiarity, while simultaneously capturing a distinctly modern European aesthetic. This blend makes the track feel both timeless and fresh, captivating listeners in a unique way.
“I die for this love” presents a poignant exploration of unrequited love, capturing the complex emotions that arise from such longing. It delves into the intricacies of love, revealing feelings of confusion, heart-wrenching anguish, and deep despair. Through vivid imagery, the work highlights the bittersweet beauty of unreciprocated affection. Above all illustrating how it can leave a lasting impact on the heart.
James, an artist who thrives in the dark-disco genre, has cultivated a profound connection with audiences around the globe. His extensive tour history includes collaborations with renowned acts like Drab Majesty and Peter Heppner, showcasing his ability to blend high-energy performances with compelling narratives. Furthermore, his impactful appearances at prominent events such as Sinners Day, WGT, and Standon Calling have not only captivated fans but also solidified his reputation as a formidable powerhouse in the heavy Hi-NRG live music scene.
Similarly, in collaboration with SUND, I’ve already fallen head over heels for “I die for this love.” And can’t wait for you to do the same…

[GrooveCartel] Beatport Expands Genre Offerings

Beatport, the world’s biggest store for DJs, producers, and music fans, keeps improving its genre organization. They’ve added Ambient/Experimental as a new genre on its own and changed Downtempo to be its own category, different from Organic House. These features show how immersive, atmospheric soundscapes and slow-groove rhythms are becoming more popular in electronic music. They also give artists a better way to show off their work.
Ambient & Experimental music is music that puts mood and texture ahead of standard melodies and rhythms. Ambient music uses slow-evolving, simple compositions to make noises that are immersive, while experimental music uses abstract textures and rhythms that aren’t normally used in music to push the limits of what is possible. Warp Records, Kompakt, Mille Plateaux, Kranky, Erased Tapes, NOTON, and Music from Memory are some of the biggest labels in this movement. Artists like Aphex Twin, Max Richter, Tim Hecker, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Autechre, and Kali Malone are also very important to it.
Downtempo music is all about groove and reflection. Downtempo music has a lot of different sounds, from the smooth, natural sounds of Balearic and Lo-Fi to the lively, upbeat sounds of Trip-Hop and Chillout. It can be played on dance floors and in quiet rooms. This sound has been supported by well-known labels like Wonderwheel Recordings, Sol Selectas, Cosmic Awakenings, and Shika Shika. Important acts such as Chancha Via Circuito, El Búho, Kermesse, Rodrigo Gallardo, and Riyoon are still moving the genre forward.

Following up on their first release on The Moment, Belgian artist Samm gives “All The Love” a remix treatment. This cut was made by Everything Is Art and label heads WhoMadeWho. It has been melting hearts all over the world as a key part of WhoMadeWho sets lately. It was the best way to start The Moment.
Also, you may be interested in our interview with Belgian talent Samm.
Here is Samm’s remix. Samm has been making a name for himself by putting out a lot of music that is a mix of indie dance, afro house, and other styles. Together with Ajna, he owns Magnifik Records and has built a successful record label, sound system, and event series in his home country of Belgium. He has played at Tomorrowland and Pacha Ibiza, among other places in Europe, and his musical credits include the EP “Does It Matter.”
A dreamy atmosphere is created by Samm’s new version of “All The Love,” which features a funky drum arrangement, strings that stir up the mood, and powerful synth stabs. The mix of rough and smooth makes the whole thing very interesting, and the voices take on a haunting quality. The sad breakdown comes before a strong start to the second half of the song, which keeps the mesmerizing balance between light and dark. The best performance from one of Antwerp’s best.

[EDM.com] New Fund Launched to Combat Hearing Loss in the Music Industry

Sweet Relief Musicians Fund has partnered with Sweetwater to launch a new initiative aimed at tackling one of the most prominent health crises facing the music industry today: noise-induced hearing loss.
Unveiled this week, the Hearing Health Fund provides musicians and music industry professionals with free hearing screenings and high-fidelity earplugs in an effort to curb the chronic issue, which impacts thousands each year.
According to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, approximately 40% of musicians and music industry workers experience noise-induced hearing loss. The risk is particularly acute for live performers, audio engineers and venue staff, many of whom operate in environments that regularly exceed safe decibel levels.
The issue, however, extends to the broader music community as well. A 2023 EDM.com poll found that nearly 50% of music festival attendees do not wear ear protection, underscoring a wider lack of adherence to best practices at live events.
The Hearing Health Fund will provide a free three-part hearing screening administered by certified audiologists. In addition to a review of results and education around hearing preservation, recipients will receive Etymotic ER-20XS High Fidelity Earplugs, designed to protect hearing without compromising the listening experience.
"Screening is essential to protecting musicians from hearing loss because once the damage is done, there’s no going back to 'normal,'" said Dr. Todd Page, Sweetwater’s in-house physician. "It’s heartbreaking telling a fellow musician their tinnitus isn’t fixable; that it’s too late to reverse it, and all they can do is adapt and try to keep it from progressing."
Sweetwater, best known as one of the world's largest online retailers of musical instruments and gear, also provides immersive sound experiences for venues and stadiums across the country. The company’s investment in the fund reflects a broader mission to support not only sound quality, but also the well-being of those who create it.
The Hearing Health Fund is available now through Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Full details can be found on the organization's official website.

[EDM.com] Mysterious Pills Spotted at Miami Music Week Spark Theories About "GTA VI" Release

As if Miami Music Week wasn’t chaotic enough, a new Grand Theft Auto VI plot twist emerged that sent both ravers and Redditors into a collective frenzy: mysterious white pills with "VI" stamped on one side and "10.10.25" on the other.
The pills were reportedly found outside a downtown nightclub. Naturally, the internet did what it does best, spiraling into speculation that Rockstar Games was tantalizingly teasing the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI with… designer drugs?
Images of the pills were first posted by Reddit user Lnce_Vnce, who claimed he found them "in a tiny sandwich bag during [his] final dance of the week," which might be the most Miami Music Week sentence ever constructed.
GTA diehards immediately connected the dots (and Roman numerals), pointing out the striking resemblance to the branding of the game's long-awaited return to Vice City. The date lines up suspiciously well with previous speculation about the game's release.
Rockstar Games has stayed completely silent, but that hasn’t stopped social media from running wild with theories. Some think it's a deliberate marketing stunt while others believe a drug supplier simply wanted to go viral during festival season. However, it remains unclear what was actually in the pill and whether or not it’s related to GTA VI at all.
Until we get official word from Rockstar, the best we can say is this: We got branded GTA 6 pills before we got GTA 6.

[EDM.com] Mind-Bending Philosophy and Bass Converge in Subtronics' New EP, "Fibonacci Part 1: Oblivion"

Subtronics has once again cracked open the bass music multiverse again.
The dubstep superstar is peering through the lens of mathematical wonder after last year's release of his conceptual TESSERACT album. Out now via his own Cyclops Recordings imprint, it’s a sonic spectacle that balances brute-force energy with cerebral ambition, affirming Subtronics’ reputation as one of electronic music's most relentlessly inventive minds.
The eight-track project arrives on the heels of Subtronics' performance on the storied Mainstage of Miami's Ultra Music Festival, where he first teased its release to a sea of eager fans. And while it's clearly engineered for live impact, it also carries the signature conceptual depth fans have come to expect from the producer who brought us FRACTALS.
Drawing inspiration from the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio—natural mathematical patterns that symbolize balance, growth and complexity—this release is a meticulous journey. As Subtronics himself puts it, the project is about "how all of reality, in its complexity and grandeur, originates from nature and the fundamental laws of the universe." That depth resonates not just in its themes, but also in its intricate sound design and fearless genre-hopping.
The journey opens cinematically with "Oblivion," where a swelling orchestral intro builds tension before a voice warns, "Brace yourselves as we enter the portal into the Tesseract"—a callback to 2024's album of the same name. What follows is an earth-shattering dubstep drop loaded with interstellar textures and seismic low-end pressure that only Subtronics could deliver.
From there, he refuses to let up. "Mothclaws" switches the tempo and functions as a compelling sound design showcase, opening with a pulsing beat before exploding into a flurry of dubstep growls and sci-fi-inspired glitches.
The EP's lead single, "Lock In" featuring Wooli, is an instant standout. A chaotic, Mario Kart-inspired anthem, the track barrels forward with genre-defying madness, combining dubstep, riddim and techno influences into a relentless auditory blitz. Equal parts whimsical and destructive, it marks a standout entry in the artists' collaborative catalog that includes fan-favorites "Melt Ur Brain" and "Hallelujah."
Closing out the album's first installment is "Final Breath" with A Little Sound, a haunting, vocal-driven cut that culminates cathartically in drum & bass territory. It wraps the EP on a cinematic note, adding even more depth to an already multidimensional creation.
With an insatiable appetite for risk-taking that yields incredibly unique productions. Subtronics once again proves why he’s a singular force in electronic music. As we await Part 2, one thing is clear: this is only the beginning of a brilliantly complex equation.

[EDMTunes] Two Friends Give Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ a Dancefloor Touch Up

Two Friends have taken on a monumental task: remixing Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline,’ a song that’s as much a cultural touchstone as it is a musical staple.
From the first beat, it’s clear this isn’t a simple rehash. The duo injects a vibrant, house-driven pulse that immediately transforms the track into something primed for the dancefloor. The driving rhythm, characterized by a steady four-on-the-floor kick and shimmering synth textures, provides a solid foundation without overpowering Diamond’s iconic vocals.

[EDM.com] Emotional Depth Meets Melodic Precision in Kaskade and Lipless' "State Of Mind": Listen

Kaskade and Lipless have reunited for a stunning progressive house track, "State Of Mind," out now via Colorize.
The producers' creative history traces back over a decade to an unlikely origin story: a teenage Lipless cold-messaging Kaskade on MySpace with demo submissions. The Chicago-born dance music icon replied, and a working relationship quietly took shape.
By 2014, Kaskade helped Lipless relocate to Los Angeles, where the two went on to release a Grammy-nominated remix of RY X’s "Only" followed by a string of high-profile collaborations, including several contributions to the producer's Kx5 project alongside deadmau5. Now, nearly 10 years after their first major release together, "State Of Mind" serves as a reflection of their shared growth, both artistically and personally.
Poppy Baskcomb's vocals lead "State of Mind" into a gentle swell as soft arpeggios flutter through the mix, anchored by shimmering synths. The production from Kaskade and Lipless beautifullu unfolds like a story rather than a formula, lingering and letting the emotion breathe.
Rooted in personal growth, it's the kind of track that's suitable for a late-night drive or the warm light of a sunrise set. For Lipless, it arrived at a crucial juncture.
"I was coming out of a tough year and working to get to a better place mentally and physically," he said. "When I heard the vocal demo, it felt like it was meant to find me."

[EDM.com] Listen to borne's High-Voltage Deadbeats Track, "Shake It Off"

Red-hot Canadian producer borne is back with a new Deadbeats single, "Shake It Off." 
The track crackles with whirring bass, compelling us to surrender to borne's masterful production style. It's impossible to resist getting lost in its supercharged soundscapes, pulling us headfirst into a gritty sound that's becoming his signature.
In October, borne told EDM.com that "trying to create a story and focus on the production itself is the most important part" of making impactful music. That rings true in his latest release, a cathartic burst of dubstep energy.
"I made 'Shake It Off' while trying to incorporate the classic dubstep sound with my drum work and groove," borne tells us. "It started as a track highly focused on vocals. However, when the bass came in, it became the new main sound that grabbed the listener's attention."

[EDM.com] Two Friends Turn "Sweet Caroline" From Ballpark Belter to Festival Fire-Starter: Listen

It’s not every day that a barroom anthem makes its way to the mainstage, but Two Friends have never played by the rules of genre or generation. The latest release from the duo finds them flipping Neil Diamond's tried-and-true stadium anthem "Sweet Caroline" into a festival-ready thriller.
The official remix transforms Diamond's singalong staple for today's dancefloors, breathing new life into his cherished 1969 classic. It marks a new creative summit for Two Friends, whose meteoric rise from SoundCloud bootleggers to mainstage fixtures has been powered by their instinct for nostalgia and reinvention.
Long revered for their ability to infuse mainstream pop sensibilities with dancefloor heat, the "Big Bootie Mix" maestros approached their remix with reverence. The original's iconic vocals remain front and center but now glide over gated synths, buoyant basslines and a pulsating house groove.
But the track’s crowning moment might just be its surprise finale, where a horn-laced coda erupts in the closing moments like fireworks at the end of a championship game, driving home its crossover ambitions.
"An official dance remix of 'Sweet Caroline' has been a long-standing idea," said Katie Diamond, Neil Diamond’s manager. "The new Two Friends version both honors the song’s legacy while infusing it with an electrifying new energy."

[EDM.com] PLS&TY and Richard Walters Reach for the Stars in Dreamlike House Track, "Constellations"

PLS&TY has taken a reflective turn with his latest single, "Constellations," a dreamy collaboration with UK singer-songwriter Richard Walters. The track marks a notable moment in the producer's journey, showcasing a deeper, more atmospheric side to his sound.
From the outset, "Constellations" eases us into a world of ambient textures and gently unfolding melodies as Walters' evocative vocals glide over a bed of soft, cinematic pads. As it progresses, the tempo gradually picks up, infusing its arrangement with an uplifting energy while preserving its spellbinding atmosphere. Balancing introspective storytelling with accessible electronic production, the track feels spacious and intentional, creating a sense of wonder and optimism.
"Constellations" follows the momentum of PLS&TY’s recent signing with Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak. It's his second single following March's release of "Leave The Light On."

[EDM.com] Wakyin and Vibarco's "Matador" Conquers the Dancefloor With Bullfighter Grace and Latin Fire

The question of whether or not electronic music can sustain cultural identity finds its answer in "Matador," a sultry new single from Wakyin and Vibarco.
Out now via Insomniac Records, the track glides with purpose, marrying house music's metronomic heartbeat with the passionate inflections of Latin musical tradition. What really distinguishes it, however, is its refusal to dilute either influence.
Wakyin, the EDM.com Class of 2025, brings his golden touch through radiant production inspired by his Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. Colombian musician Vibarco, a three-time ASCAP award-winning songwriter who has worked with Maluma, Anitta and Shakira, infuses the arrangement with subtle flourishes.
Wakyin's production maintains a hypnotic minimalism while its melodic elements dance with the sensuality of a moonlit Cartagena evening. The song operates like a skilled matador—precise and calculated, but imbued with dramatic crescendos that build with the tension of a bullfighter's final moments before the kill.
"I found this vocal and just knew I had to flip it," Wakyin said. "It was a bit different before with a slower tempo, but I spiced it up a little, and I love the final product. Or as the streets say, "En la Calle le dicen el matador."

[EDM.com] Alesso and Becky Hill Channel Trance Influences in New Dance Anthem, "Surrender"

Few tracks hit like a flashback and a future classic in one breath, but Alesso and Becky Hill's "Surrender" does both. Clocking in at 140 BPM, the track draws on the pulse of early-2000s trance while charging forward with the cinematic intensity of modern progressive house.
Out now via Capitol Records, "Surrender" arrives fresh off its live debut at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, where Alesso previewed the track to a roaring mainstage crowd. It's a full-circle moment for the duo, who previously linked on Alesso's hit "Words," co-written by Hill. This time, her voice is front and center, commanding and crystalline.
Alesso builds the arrangement around a foundation of ascending synths and a galloping rhythm section. It’s a production designed for scale, but it never loses its emotional core. 
"I’m so excited for ‘Surrender’ to be out in the world," Hill said in a press release shared with EDM.com. “It’s great to work with Alesso on the record which blends emotional lyrics with those nostalgic trance influences. It’s a sound that takes me back, but also still feels so fresh and exciting."
Alesso is now readying the return of his Body Hi alias alongside Gorgon City at Coachella's Quasar stage during the festival's second weekend.

[EDM.com] HI-LO and Sarah de Warren Unite for Hypnotic Single, "Born To Love"

HI-LO and Sarah de Warren have joined forces for a new collaboration, "Born To Love," out today via the former's HILOMATIK imprint.
The track made its first appearance during the label’s Miami Music Week showcase at Wynwood Marketplace, where the pair performed it live. Pairing HI-LO's signature, hard-hitting techno production with an emotive topline from de Warren, it delivers a dynamic mix of intensity and atmosphere.
HI-LO's production builds gradually beneath the latter's captivating vocal performance, creating a tension that erupts at the drop without losing its melodic edge. Keeping us entranced from start to finish, its pulsing rhythm and fluid energy practically demand movement.
One of dance music's most in-demand collaborators, de Warren said she'd been itching to collaborate with HI-LO, the techno alias of Dutch EDM superstar Oliver Heldens before they had "an absolute banger on our hands."
"I was driving home after a show one night and thinking about how dance music has always felt so natural to me, like part of my DNA," said de Warren. "I was making electronic music in my bedroom way before I was old enough to go to a rave or a club. It’s like I was born to make this music and play it for people who feel the same way, that's why the dance community always feels like family. So, as I was driving, these lyrics just flowed off my tongue, and I voice-noted them and recorded them as soon as I got home."
The release lands ahead of HI-LO’s international tour run, starting with RESISTANCE events in Buenos Aires and Lima this month. He’ll then return to Europe for festival performances at Airbeat One, A State of Trance London and Tomorrowland, among others.

[EDMTunes] Beatport Expands Genre Offerings with New Categories

Beatport announced new additions to its genre classification by introducing Ambient/Experimental as a new standalone genre and reclassifying Downtempo as its own category, separate from Organic House. These additions reflect the growing influence of immersive, atmospheric soundscapes and slow-groove rhythms within electronic music, providing artists with a more precise platform to showcase their work.
Ambient & Experimental highlights music that prioritizes mood and texture over traditional rhythms and melodies. Ambient music creates immersive soundscapes through slow-evolving, minimalistic compositions, while Experimental music pushes the boundaries of conventional structures with abstract textures and unconventional rhythms. Leading labels supporting this movement include Warp Records, Kompakt, Mille Plateaux, Kranky, Erased Tapes, NOTON, and Music from Memory, alongside pioneering artists like Aphex Twin, Max Richter, Tim Hecker, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Autechre, and Kali Malone.
Downtempo music emphasizes groove and introspection. Ranging from the organic textures of Balearic and Lo-Fi to the beat-driven sounds of Trip-Hop and Chillout, Downtempo offers a versatile listening experience that resonates on both dance floors and intimate spaces. Prominent labels such as Wonderwheel Recordings, Sol Selectas, Cosmic Awakenings, and Shika Shika have championed this sound, while influential artists like Chancha Via Circuito, El Búho, Kermesse, Rodrigo Gallardo, and Riyoon continue to push the genre forward. Here is what Raphael Pujol, Vice President of Global Curation at The Beatport Group, had to say on the addition of these two new genres for the global leader in music for DJs, producers, and their fans :

Kicking off the weekend on Friday, April 11th is the influential electronic superstar deadmau5 along with house music mastermind Chris Lake.

All of the performances at this year's Framework In The Desert will take place atop the Long Feng Art Car.
