Kygo & Victoria Nadine – Can’t Get Enough

Kygo’s newest track, ‘Can’t Get Enough‘ featuring Victoria Nadine on vocals, was released yesterday to huge anticipation!
Victoria Nadine is a Norwegian pop star who recently teamed up with global superstar Kygo. They wrote a handful of songs together with the help of Jesper Borgen. After quite a bit of work, adjustments, and a full 180 turn on how they initially started developing the track, ‘Can’t Get Enough‘ was born with a focus on the beautiful melodies that complement the tropical house rhythm.
When they began writing the lyrics, the song’s title was It Can Never Be Us. But that quickly changed to the complete opposite, as they believed it made more sense for them. Nadine commented, “The first version was the complete opposite of what it is now. The lyrics were not the only thing different, this sound was originally an afrobeats track. So, it’s been a journey, but it ended up being something we’re both really proud of!”
Honestly, the song is perfect. The sound is transcending, piano keys shimmer, and the bass sucks you in. The energy practically overflows as the track builds to its climax, only to cut out to a synth as the hook takes hold, “I just can’t get enough, I’m craving your love.”

MxNxSTxR, Destructo, Thundercat & Channel Tres Team Up For Powerhouse Collaboration, ‘What You Need’

MxNxSTxR, the side project of Ty Dolla $ign, and trailblazing producer/DJ and electronic music tastemaker Destructo have teamed up for a powerhouse collaboration, ‘What You Need’ feat. Thundercat & Channel Tres. The new track is out across all platforms via Empire.
About ‘What You Need’
‘What You Need’ delivers the long-awaited follow-up to MxNxSTxR and Destructo’s 2022 ‘All Of Me.’ The R&B-infused disco-funk jam is a co-production between DESTRUCTO and MxNxSTxR, creating a fresh set of intoxicating melodies and basslines for the place where the two artists share their passion: the dancefloor.
Anyone familiar with ‘Oh Sheit, It’s X’ knows Thundercat thrives on a dance track. Here, Thunder delivers falsetto and thick slabs of bass to a rush of French touch, perfect for under a disco ball or under the sun. Offsetting the heat of the dancefloor or summer sun like a cool breeze comes Channel Tres, his effortlessness and poise made evident with a smooth verse. It all comes together so seamlessly, because everyone here is an expert at what they do.
An Intertwined History
All four artists share overlapping histories with each other across the 2020s, and ‘What You Need’ is years in the making. The idea was born at a writing session in MxNxSTxR’s studio during the Pandemic lockdowns in LA 2020, followed by 2022’s ‘All of Me,’ the first taste of their project for fans, which amassed over 555,000 plays worldwide. Ty Dolla $ign has appeared on Destructo’s iconic HARD music festivals and Friendship cruises over the years, with MxNxSTxR making his seafaring debut earlier this year. Among the four LA artists are various collabs over the years. Thundercat tapped Ty Dolla for the track ‘Fair Chance‘ from his GRAMMY-winning album, It Is What It Is, and more recently collaborated with Channel Tres on the track ‘Candy Paint‘ from his debut album Head Rush (2024). That same year, Ty and Channel also teamed up for ‘Holy Moly.’  Destructo and Ty’s collaborative efforts stretch back to 2016 with ‘4 Real,‘ a standout track also featuring ILOVEMAKONNEN from Destructo’s Renegade EP.

Cassian Drops New Track ‘SOS’

Cassian, the Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer popular in melodic house and techno, has released his newest track, ‘SOS.’ Building on his extensive career that spans over 160 million streams and over 1.5 million monthly listeners, ‘SOS’ introduces listeners to a dynamic blend of hypnotic rhythms and chants. The track seamlessly combines Cassian’s signature sound with a powerful, infectious house groove that is sure to resonate with our dance community.
‘SOS’ – Cassian
‘SOS’ opens with a vocal chant that quickly builds tension, setting the stage for the driving energy that follows. The rhythm quickly identifies itself as a classic house groove. A short and Cassian build leads to the first drop, where a sticky house kick anchors the track while the vocal chant continues to energize the flow. As the chant fades, a synth melody and male vocals enter, deepening the atmospheric vibe. Just before the track reaches its peak, the vocal chant returns in the breakdown, leading to another build and an even more powerful drop that elevates the energy. Cassian uses this perfect blend of hypnotic vocals and upbeat rhythms to close out ‘SOS’ with an incredible finish that encapsulates the energy of a whole festival moving as one.
Cassian’s Journey & Career
Cassian’s journey into music began early, with his background in piano and guitar influencing his production style. Initially participating in bands during high school, Cassian found his true calling in Sydney’s electronic music scene. Drawing inspiration from acts like Cut Copy, Tame Impala, and Bag Raiders, he began releasing music in 2009, gaining recognition both online and in live performances. His career reached new heights when he worked with RÜFÜS DU SOL, mixing their albums ‘Bloom‘ and ‘Solace,’ which earned him both ARIA awards and a Grammy nomination.
Collaborations and Projects
Over the years, Cassian has continued to collaborate with renowned artists across various genres, including Hayden James, What So Not, and Crooked Colours. As the first artist on RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Rose Avenue Records label, Cassian’s versatility as a producer and DJ has become a driving force in the house and techno scene. His collaborations, including the track ‘Magical‘ with Zolly (Phil Slabber of Crooked Colours), showcase his ability to blend electronic music with emotive and experimental touches.
Cassian – Upcoming Shows and Tour
In 2025, Cassian will continue to captivate global audiences with his new releases ‘Where I’m From‘ and ‘SOS’. His music and performances are popular for their intricate mixes and ability to engage listeners. These traits alone make him a fixture at major festivals and renowned venues. With these new releases marking a new milestone in his career, fans can expect more exciting releases from Cassian in 2025.

Spotify Wastes No Time Rolling Out iOS Update Following Apple-Epic Ruling, Promising ‘Lower Prices, More Control, and Easier Access’

Apple has approved a Spotify iOS update in the U.S. following a ‘landmark’ Epic Games ruling. Photo Credit: James Yarema
On the heels of a major ruling in the marathon Apple v. Epic Games legal battle, Spotify has received approval for an updated version of its iOS app in the U.S.
The vocal App Store critic Spotify revealed as much in a “Time to Play Fair” blog post. Originally published yesterday (following the April 30th ruling), that post reiterated the streaming service’s long-sought changes on iOS.
As many know, those changes include but aren’t limited to enhanced pricing-display details and bolstered payment options for Spotify, which has a decidedly smoother professional relationship with the Play Store operator Google.
In the same document, the AI-minded Spotify went ahead and disclosed that it’d already submitted the appropriate update to Apple. Now, the iPhone developer has signed off on the changes.
“After nearly a decade,” Spotify added to the original blog post today, “this will finally allow us to freely show clear pricing information and links to purchase, fostering transparency and choice for U.S. consumers. We can now give consumers lower prices, more control, and easier access to the Spotify experience.
“There is more work to do, but today represents a significant milestone for developers and entrepreneurs everywhere who want to build and compete on a more level playing field. It’s the opening act of a new era, and we could not be more ready for the show,” the company concluded.
Unsurprisingly, given Spotify’s years-running Apple showdown, the victory lap didn’t stop there. The New York Post today put out a friendly interview with CEO Daniel Ek, who took the opportunity to take a parting shot at Apple’s “pretty draconian rules” for app developers.
But as Spotify itself acknowledged, “more work” remains in its App Store dispute. First, the streaming service is still entangled in a regulatory confrontation with Apple in the EU, where appeals and fresh fines are in motion.
Stateside, Apple CEO Tim Cook yesterday doubled down on plans to appeal the Epic case’s ruling, and it’ll certainly be worth monitoring that process moving forward. Cook’s comments arrived as part of Apple’s earnings call (the Q&A portion of which focused chiefly on tariffs) for 2025’s initial three months.
In the corresponding report, the Apple Music operator pointed to $26.65 billion in services revenue for the quarter, up almost 12% year over year. All told, Apple says it has “well over” one billion subscriptions across its suite of services.

Rebūke Double Single: ‘Forever / Chaos’

More music from international producer Rebūke’s upcoming The World Of Era album arrives today a double single ‘Forever / Chaos’ in collaboration with famed video game composer: P.T. Adamczyk — whose credits include notable video games Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 4. P.T. Adamczyk had initially created a track called ‘Chaos.’  At the time he sent these chords, both Rebūke and P.T weren’t sure what to do with it. UK vocalist & songwriter Aya Anne created a beautiful topline inspiring them to further develop the production, resulting in two tracks ‘Forever,’ which features her engaging vocal–and instrumental  ‘Chaos.’ Listen here.
When asked about the inspiration behind the ‘Forever’visualiser, Rebūke explains “I was drawn to the idea of a robot programmed to care, but what happens if it learns to love? She gave it humanity but now it doesn’t want to let her go. In a future where machines outlive us, I wanted to ask the question.. who mourns us when we’re gone?”
‘Forever / Chaos,’ along with previous singles ‘Teardrops’ with Karin Park, ‘Aingeal,’ ‘Choose Life’ with Linska,  ‘Endless’ with deadmau5 featuring Ed Graves and ‘Juno’ will appear on Rebūke’s (who is Ireland’s Reuben Keeney) debut artist album The World of Era due out July 11, 2025.  Next look for Rebūke to join Anyma and MRAK as a featured artist at their Afterlife Festival Barcelona on June 13 with more live dates for 2025 to be announced soon.
With the release of The World of Era, Rebūke is set to redefine the electronic music landscape, fusing storytelling with powerful production. Stay tuned for additional details.

House Passes TICKET Act Mandating All-In Pricing

The “all-in” ticket pricing model is progressing toward potential legal implementation in the United States, with the House of Representatives casting an overwhelmingly favorable vote on April 29. In a bipartisan effort, the House approved the Transparency in Charges for Key Events Ticketing (TICKET) Act with a vote of 409-15. This important legislation seeks to ensure ticket sellers disclose the final price of tickets, which will include all associated fees, excluding sales tax.
Having navigated through Congress for several years, the bill has gained widespread support from consumer advocacy groups, stakeholders in the live music industry, and notably, Live Nation, the leading global concert promoter and owner of Ticketmaster, which has proactively adopted “all-in” ticket pricing in recent years.
The TICKET Act summarized
The TICKET Act also introduces provisions for full refunds on tickets for canceled events, addresses misleading claims by websites purporting to be “official” ticket resellers, and mandates that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) strengthen the enforcement of the BOTS Act, a 2016 law aimed at curbing the use of automated systems for ticket purchases. Despite its good intentions, the BOTS Act has seen limited effectiveness in preventing mass ticket purchases by bots.
Moreover, the TICKET Act aims to prohibit speculative pricing, where ticket resellers sell tickets to consumers prior to acquiring them. In its place, the proposed legislation would establish a legal framework for “ticket procurement services,” allowing these platforms to charge consumers in advance to acquire tickets on their behalf, provided that they make clear they do not currently possess the tickets. This particular provision has raised some concerns among advocates for ticketing reform, who believe it may inadvertently allow speculative ticketing practices to continue.
Moving ahead after the passage
Overall, the passage of this bill in the House has onlookers viewing this as a positive sign moving forward. The Senate counterpart is also showing promise, having advanced out of committee in February with considerable bipartisan support and is scheduled for discussion in the current legislative session.
President Donald Trump has expressed openness to endorsing this type of legislation. Earlier in April, he signed an executive order intended to address ticket scalping and hidden fees in the live entertainment industry. This order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FTC to enhance the enforcement of competition laws in this sector and instructed both Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to ensure IRS compliance among ticket resellers.
John Breyault, Vice President of Public Policy, Telecommunications and Fraud at the National Consumers League, emphasizes the act’s efficiency

Basslines & Bros: Behind the Beat with Flux Pavilion and Doctor P

Amid the bass-fueled chaos of Ultra Music Festival, we caught up with two legends who helped shape the sound of dubstep as we know it—Flux Pavilion and Doctor P. From early UK raves to global festival stages, these longtime collaborators have seen it all—and they’re still dropping heat. We sat down to talk legacy, evolution, and what keeps them inspired in 2025.
So, how long have you two been friends?
Doctor P: 22 years I think..? Maybe 23?
Flux Pavilion: Yeah, I think 23 years.
And how did you two meet?
Doctor P: We went to the same school, we are from the same town. We kind of met by chance- and were really the only two people in our town that were making music.
Flux Pavilion: We actually started our first band together when I was 13.
Who were your biggest inspirations to make music when you two first started?
Doctor P: I really liked Fatboy Slim. He was a big influence.
Flux Pavilion: Same. We really grew up listening to the same music, so our taste has been very similar over the years.
Let’s talk about Flux Pavilion and Doctor P as a DJ duo. Have you performed together before?
Flux Pavilion: Yes, this is our third time performing B2B at Ultra actually. But- it is out first time performing as an official DJ pair.
What is it like performing together? Do you plan to continue doing this beyond this tour?
Doctor P: Yeah, that’s the plan. Doctor P and Flux Pavilion has kind of become a thing that we’re going to do.
Flux Pavilion: For the foreseeable future anyway. We’re going to do this album, tour this album, and potentially even do a bigger version of the album.. maybe. And then after that, who knows? We really don’t know, so let’s just pretend this is never happening again. We may never get the opportunity to perform and tour together like this- so let’s act like this is the only time and have fun with it. That’s the mentality that has been fueling me through this.
Have you two thought about coming up with a collaborative name for your duo- like ‘Doctor Flux’?
Doctor P: Yeah, that actually occurred to me right at the very beginning when we first started talking about the album. And then we were like nah, let’s not do that.
Flux Pavilion: I view it as, this isn’t a rebrand. We don’t need to create a new identity for the two of us. We want to continue using our names so the older ravers still recognize us, but the newer ravers continue to learn about us. I want them to know, this is why we’re popular. That’s how we want to be remembered.
Let’s talk about music, what do fans have to look forward to?
Flux Pavilion: We released a new album recently. It’s a 15-track album called ‘Doctor P & Flux Pavilion’, and we’re preparing to go on tour with it.
What is your favorite track on that album?
Doctor P: Definitely ‘Rubber Dub’
Flux Pavilion: Yeah, I agree, definitely ‘Rubber Dub’. I think objectively it’s the best one. I also really love ‘Hot Piss’. But ‘Rubber Dub’ I think is a great combination of our sound and our ideas and I’ve been most excited to play that one.
If I were to hand each of you the aux right now.. what song would you put on?
Doctor P: Lately, I’ve been listening to MP8 and Funkmaster. So I’d probably put one of them on.
Flux Pavilion: There’s an album called ‘2020’ by Richard Dawson, who’s kind of like a singer, songwriter, folk artist from the UK. His songs just remind me of England- so I listen to them a lot when I’m not home.

PLS&TY Drops Emotional Dim Mak Debut EP, ‘Into The Light’

PLS&TY has unleashed his emotional new EP, Into The Light.
Landing on Steve Aoki’s famous Dim Mak Records today, May 2, the new project sees the Florida-hailing producer and DJ—real name Tommy Leas—dive deep into “the duality of darkness and hope, and love and resilience,” according to a press release, across three tracks packed with his signature melodies.
Tying together themes of vulnerability and strength on Into The Light is “Leave The Light On,” an anthemic groove about loving through hardship with poignant vocals from x.o.anne, “Constellations,” a dreamy, deep house ode to unconditional love with Richard Walters, and the title track, “Into The Light,” a euphoric breakbeat collaboration with Miggy De La Rosa, said to serve as “a guiding light for anyone navigating hard times.”
“Into The Light is an emotional reflection of the human experience,” PLS&TY said in a press release. “Each song speaks to moments we all encounter, from heartbreak and uncertainty to the enduring power of love and connection.”
After a bevy of nationwide club tours, festival performances at Bonnaroo, EDC Las Vegas, and Electric Forest, worldwide radio plays, and hundreds of millions of streams—including more than 60 million on his hit single “Your Love,” featuring Sofiya Nzau—Into The Light marks yet another watershed moment in PLS&TY’s career, as he embarks on his first multi-record deal with Aoki’s legendary independent.
“The team truly understands the lifestyle, culture, and movement of dance music,” Aoki said of the new alliance in a press release. “I’ve always seen PLS&TY as more than just music—it’s art, visuals, aesthetic. With this partnership, I get to expand on that.”

Dancing Astronaut’s New Music Friday (May 2, 2025): Cassian, HI-LO, Flume, and more

Words by Alex Lambeau, Zach Salafia, and Ross Goldenberg.
Cassian – SOS
Cassian has been responsible one of the most sought-after IDs of the past month or so, with him now taking to John Summit’s Experts Only for his label debut, “SOS.” Despite an ambiguous vocal sample with some indiscernible lyrics, “SOS” is nothing short of Aahigh-octane club weapon that’s already become a centerpiece in Cassian’s latest sets. The release follows his unending hit streak over the past year alone that includes “Dun Dun” on Afterlife as well as “Where I’m From” with SCRIPT and Belladonna. And Cassian’s release goes hand in hand with his all-night long stop in Brooklyn on May 2 as part of his ongoing North American run.
Jessica Audiffred – Rave New World
Jessica Audiffred has risen the ranks to become one of the most sought-after names in bass music, and she has now continued that with the delivery of her debut album, Rave New World. Arriving just a month after her back-to-back set with one of Dancing Astronaut‘s Artists to Watch in 2025, ALLEYCVT, at Ultra’s Worldwide stage, the 12-track album from the Mexico-born talent features collaborations with the likes of Nostalgix, urboi., and more.
Otherwish – Without You
Otherwish has continually preserved his placement as one of the most refreshing names on This Never Happened’s lengthy label roster. And the Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch alumni is further building that sentiment, returning with “Without You” as his third original of the calendar thus far. Those in attendance for his opening stints on Lane 8’s Childish tour over the past few months will likely recognize it on release day, with Otherwish turning what was originally a more toned-down demo into a ready-to-play live version that he knew deserved a proper release when the timing was right.
HI-LO & Temper – Work That Body
HI-LO has transformed Temper’s 2000s hit into a modern, energy-filled techno reimagining. “Work That Body” has finally hit the streaming platforms, with HI-LO infusing his signature driving basslines, razor-sharp percussion, and a bold vocal—which chants “ain’t nothin’ but tutti-frutti, get on the floor if you’ve got that booty”—that bridges raw underground energy with festival-scale impact. Sparked by a Boiler Room set from Malugi and inspired by the resurgence of high-energy genres like hard house and speed garage, “Work That Body” has been road-tested by the likes of Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, and Joseph Capriati. The rework has already proven its power through its punchy groove and will continue to invigorate the crowds on the global circuit.
Sultan + Shepard – Communicate
To round out Sultan + Shepard‘s seven-track EP on This Never Happened, the duo have returned with its sixth and seventh additions, including the title track — which was first unveiled during their back-to-back set with Lane 8 at Proper NYE in San Diego — and “Sigh.” Listeners have come to expect nothing but class from the melodic house duo, and this EP is certainly no exception. Arriving just a year after Endless, Dawn and fresh off of their Circle In Time tour —as well as its bonus tracks release — few artists match Sultan + Shepard’s ability to consistently deliver such high-quality music.
Flume & JPEGMAFIA – We Live In A Society
Flume is back. After recently wiping his Instagram, Flume converted the suspense into a new four-track EP alongside JPEGMAFIA, marking his first original releases since 2023. We Live In A Society delivers everything we’ve come to know and love about the Aussie icon. And this isn’t the duo’s first collaboration — they previously teamed up on “How To Build A Relationship” from Flume’s 2019 Hi This Is Flume mixtape.

James Hurr & Karsten Sollors Add Their Flavour To Jules Liesl’s ‘Cherry’ With New Remix

Earlier this year Jules Liesl burst onto the dance music scene with her insanely catchy single ‘CHERRY’ which has already racked up over 100,000 streams. The track has since received remixes from globally renowned producers like Mousse T, Mark Picchiotti, and Birdee with more on the way.
Now putting their own spin on the track are James Hurr and Karsten Sollors who have taken the original and packed it with club energy. Between them they’ve worked with industry legends such as Tiësto and Armin Van Buuren as well as releasing music on renowned labels like Farris Wheel, Toolroom, and Nervous. Their take on ‘CHERRY’ with an afro house rhythm and thick low end is a stroke of genius that is an excellent addition to the series of remixes we’ve received so far.
‘CHERRY’ is a statement from Jules Liesl that she is a force to be reckoned with. She’s taken a lot of inspiration from early 2000s dance hits, mid 90s pop, and more specifically Lady Gaga’s blend of style and sonic force. She’s brought all of this together in some jaw dropping performances including the release event at West Hollywood’s iconic Abbey, and huge performances at Miami Pride and Winter Party.
Backed by Grammy-winning vocal producers, celebrated choreographers, and top music executives, there’s no doubt that Jules Liesl is an artist on the rise. She oozes charisma which she has poured into ‘CHERRY’, and that’s just the start.

RÜFÜS DU SOL Reimagine "Inhale / Exhale" With Expansive Remix Album: Listen

RÜFÜS DU SOL have released Inhale / Exhale Remixed, a collection of reworks that feels like a curated expansion of the world the trio built in their stunning fifth album.
The project brings together a wide-ranging group of producers from around the globe, including Adriatique, Carlita, Andrea Oliva, Francis Mercier, Enamour and EDM.com Class of 2024 star Nitefreak. From melodic house to Afro-tech, the remixes explore the interplay between tension and release, keeping the emotional core of the source material intact while transforming RÜFÜS DU SOL's aching songwriting.
Mercier’s remix of "Levitating" channels his signature Afro-house style into something subtly anthemic. The groove rolls forward with ease, supported by earthy percussion and warm synth flourishes. Rather than overhauling the track, he finds room to emphasize its emotional lift, producing a textured version that feels expansive without being overstated.
Carlita’s version of "Inhale" takes the original’s introspective tone and gives it an off-kilter elegance as lead singer Tyrone Lindqvist's vocals float through warped synths and glitched percussion. There's a dreamy unpredictability to the structure, as if the track is constantly shifting its footing without ever losing control. It's both delicate and disorienting, offering one of the album’s most artful reinterpretations.
Those two remixes are microcosms of what makes the full album special. Each artist brings something distinct but no one is trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they carve new paths through a landscape that already had a strong emotional foundation thanks to RÜFÜS DU SOL, who have always excelled at blending rhythm with visceral lyricism. With Inhale / Exhale Remixed, they open the door for others to explore that balance on their own terms.
You can listen to the full remix album below and find it on streaming platforms here.

JAUZ – Detonator

Bass house pioneer Jauz unleashes his latest high-energy track, ‘Detonator,’ just in time for summer. The explosive single lives up to its name with driving house rhythms and earth-shattering bass, accompanied by a captivating visualizer. This release reaffirms Jauz’s status as a leading force in dance music since his impactful debut over a decade ago. Make way for the Godfather of Bass House, as Apple Music aptly dubs him.
‘Detonator’ isn’t just energetic. It is raw and powerful like a burst of charisma. Just like its title, the track builds up and releases that sweet sonic force with intensity. A driving, forward-moving rhythmic foundation is the melody that propels listeners to move as they listen. A strong kick drum and well-defined groove leave no dance floor unscorched. This is signature Jauz, the song underscored by speaker-shaking bass. The deep resonating low-frequency hum is his bass house weapon. Heavy distortion or creatively designed basslines are the hallmark of Jauz’s style and genre. Lastly, the surreal visualizer adds another dimension to the release beyond its audio. This visual element adds an artistic, enigmatic audiovisual experience to accompany that high-energy sound.
Sam Vogel has been a core staple in dance music over the years, since his debut 10 years ago. Long time fans know his renaissance at HARD SUMMERs since 2014. His meteoric rise earned him a staple reputation on major festival lineups worldwide. Now, he is taking some time to appreciate fatherhood. But he is back – catch him at Academy LA in May or S20 New York in July. His ability to blend driving energies of house music with impactful bass defined the very genre, bass house. ‘Detonator’ is sure to play beyond simply club dancefloors. Listen now on all streaming platforms.

Subtronics and Flowdan Drop Reunite for Relentless Dubstep Track, "Hunter"

Subtronics and Flowdan have reunited for a new single, "Hunter," marking the duo's first collaboration since 2022's fan-favorite "Gassed Up."
Out today via Subtronics' Cyclops Recordings imprint, the track is built around his intricate sound design and powered by the unmistakable delivery of Flowdan, who in 2023 was named by EDM.com among the year's best electronic music artists. While many newer fans know him through tracks like "Baddadan" and "Rumble," he’s long been a defining voice in electronic music.
Fans got an early taste of "Hunter" during Subtronics’ annual Miami Music Week takeover, the annual "Deadbeats vs. Cyclops" showcase. He then dropped the track at both sold-out nights of "Cyclops Rocks" at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre in April, when Flowdan appeared in-person to deliver his verses live.
Instead of relying on dramatic builds, "Hunter" carves out its impact with minimalism and contrast. Subtronics produces filtered sweeps, granular distortion and heavy-hitting bass while allowing Flowdan’s voice to remain the central anchor. He adapts to the evolving beat with finesse, his cadence staying locked without ever overpowering it.
The new single is separate from Subtronics’ latest project, Fibonacci Part 1: Oblivion, which arrived earlier this year as the first half of a two-part EP that will eventually form a full-length album.
You can listen to "Hunter" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

Win a Backstage Tour and VIP Experience to See Above & Beyond's Stunning Intergalactic Stage

Pioneering electronic music trio Above & Beyond are set to embark on their most ambitious North American tour in nearly a decade, bringing their forthcoming album Bigger Than All Of Us to open-air amphitheaters across the continent.
Beloved for their soaring, emotionally resonant trance and house music, the group is set to launch a 13-date tour on August 15th before wrapping October 4th. Hearing music from their long-awaited fifth album live will be a highlight, but Above & Beyond took their name literally when developing the tour's undeniable centerpiece: its stage design.
c/o Press
Featuring a DJ booth surrounded by a dynamic LED ring, the stunning setup creates what the band describes as a "fluid, circular environment" that interacts with surrounding visuals to mirror the organic qualities of their music. Recently debuted at Coachella, the ambitious production represents a conscious break from conventional stage design rigidity and is more of a portal to another dimension that demands to be experienced firsthand.
The design brilliantly dissolves the traditional barrier between performer and audience, as projected visuals seem to flow organically from the central hub outward, enveloping everyone in a shared sensory cocoon. Lights and lasers cascade from this orbital command center, sometimes in gentle ripples and other times in synchronized bursts timed to climactic drops, to create moments of collective awe that cannot be captured on social media.
"Our music has always been about togetherness, connection and the shared emotional experience," Above & Beyond said in a statement. "This tour—and this stage—is a celebration of that feeling, brought to life in a new way."

Exclusive: “I Don’t Release as Much Anymore”, Is Eelke Kleijn Slowing Down for Good After Connected?

Eelke Kleijn finally releases Connected the album and documentary. It’s a lived-in, emotionally deliberate, multimedia unfolding of a life in music. With his fifth studio album and a companion documentary of the same name, Eelke Kleijn has pulled back the curtain—not just on the music, but on the mindset. He’s chosen vulnerability over virality, evolution over spectacle, and most of all, he’s chosen connection.
The documentary premiered April 24 via Armada Music’s YouTube, tracing Eelke’s journey from early underground grooves to international recognition. But even with the accolades, this wasn’t a legacy play. It was a grounding act. “The hardest part was deciding exactly what moments you want to mention,” Eelke told EDMNOMAD in an exclusive interview. “There’s so much to talk about and always too little time.”
That balance—between reflection and restraint—is what gives Connected and Eelke Kleijn its gravity. Whether it’s hearing him speak about his Moonpark debut in Buenos Aires, or watching longtime collaborators like Jeroen Fontein and Armada’s Maykel Piron reflect on shared milestones, the documentary isn’t promotional. It’s personal. “Moonpark was really important,” Eelke said. “That show in 2008 kickstarted my career in Latin America. I’ve been visiting Argentina every year since.”
And what moved him most about the film? “For me personally the best part is watching people like Jeroen and Maykel and their view on our shared history.” That’s not a technical reflection—it’s emotional. The emotion flowing through Eelke Kleijn powers Connected on every level. The story begins on screen, but it finishes in headphones.
The Invisible Intermediary: Studio Isolation to Dance Floor Connection
For Eelke Kleijn, Connected is more than a title, it’s a worldview. “It’s the link between the audience and myself,” he said plainly. “On the dance floor it’s a very obvious one. But in the studio, it’s trickier. You’re by yourself writing songs and there’s nobody else around to listen.” That gap—between inspiration and reception—is the “invisible intermediary” he builds his records around. And on Connected, that bridge is longer, deeper, and more nuanced than ever before.
This isn’t music chasing algorithms or festival circuit fuel. It’s more internal, almost spiritual. Eelke admits the process takes time. “I’ve been listening to all the music on repeat for a year already,” he smiled. “Times like this, when you release an album to the world, are especially precious.”
Eelke builds albums as you’d build a novel—with structure, tension, and memory; and that’s what gives Connected its depth. It isn’t just cohesive—it’s intimate. The title isn’t symbolic. It’s architectural. Every element builds toward a feeling of unity, not just between artist and fan, but between versions of the artist himself.
That split identity—DJ versus composer, performer versus producer—has always defined Eelke’s duality. But this time, one clearly leads. “My production side always leads,” he admitted. “I like to create albums that are fun to listen to. I can let go of the dance floor for a bit and just think about writing the best possible song.”
There’s a quiet confidence in that statement. He’s no longer trying to prove anything. He’s simply trying to speak.
Eelke Kleijn Between Indie and Clubland: A Connected Sound Refusing to Choose
One of the most remarkable things about Connected is that it doesn’t beg for classification. It moves with the patience of indie rock, but the heartbeat of house. “This album was influenced mostly by ‘non-dance’ music,” Eelke said. “Bands like Editors, Depeche Mode, older stuff like Fleetwood Mac.”
That context reveals a lot. Where earlier records leaned on tight grooves and progressive arcs, Connected pulls from songwriting and soul. The songs don’t just rise—they evolve. They don’t crash into drops—they unfold like emotional reckonings. “I start out crafting a few ideas and over the course of a few years it flows into an album,” he explained. It’s a process built on discipline, not deadlines. And when we asked how he knows when a record is ready, he didn’t hesitate. “In the end I am my most critical fan,” he said. “I need to like it first. If everybody else likes it too, I’ve done something right.”
He also admits the record’s evolving tone comes from outside the club. “Maybe that’s why it has a bit of an indie feel to it at times,” he reflected. That feeling is strongest in “The Way I Feel.” “It has a groove rooted in my progressive roots,” he noted. “But the vocals and songwriting give it more of an indie feel.”
Another standout is “Lost In The Deep,” the album’s seventh single, released on April 4. Featuring Josha Daniel, who previously collaborated with Armin van Buuren, the track unpacks emotional drift—the slow unraveling between people who once shared everything. It doesn’t explode. It breathes. And it sets the emotional tone for the full record. This isn’t a record that rushes to the hook. It is the hook.
Eelke Doesn’t Want Spectacle. He Wants Longevity.
Connected hits differently because it refuses to chase intensity. It opts for detail instead. And in doing so, it creates space—the kind of space listeners need to reflect, not just react. While some artists bolt LED walls onto their albums, Eelke remains refreshingly minimalist. Don’t expect a live visual tour. “I don’t think I’ll ever do a live visual experience,” he said. “It distracts from the one thing that it’s all about. Music.”
This conviction guides everything he does. He’s not afraid to be slow. He’s afraid to be empty. So he waits. Refines. Let time decide what deserves attention. And somehow, that restraint makes Connected feel urgent. Not loud. Not fast. But needed.
It also speaks to where he is in his life. After nearly twenty years in the scene, he’s no longer operating on adrenaline. He’s operating on legacy. “It definitely gets harder to create something people haven’t heard,” he said. “But it’s all about challenging myself. In every track I try something I have not done before.” That pursuit of personal challenge comes at a cost. Fewer releases. Longer timelines. More self-doubt. But it also produces albums like Connected—records that grow with you, not just impress you.
And now that fans have both the documentary and the album in hand, what does he hope they walk away with? “With all my albums I’m trying to create a sense of timelessness,” he said. “I’d like people to listen to it today, but also twenty years from now.” If there’s any justice, they will. Because Connected isn’t trying to win a news cycle. It’s trying to survive a lifetime. And based on the strength of its vision—it just might.

MARQUS and SNAJDER Share the Story of ‘UNBREAKABLE’ and More

1. Hey MARQUS and SNAJDER! Glad to have you here to talk with you about your latest release ‘UNBREAKABLE’.
SNAJDER: Super excited to be here! We’ve poured a lot of emotion and energy into this track, and it’s always meaningful to get to talk about that process.
MARQUS: Thanks a lot for having us! It’s always a pleasure to talk about the music we care about — and UNBREAKABLE is definitely one of those tracks.
2. Can you please tell us more details about ‘UNBREAKABLE’? How did it come to life and how did you meet each other?
SNAJDER: ‘UNBREAKABLE’ is a really personal track for me. It was born out of a tough period in my life — I was and still am battling cancer, and music became my therapy, my escape, and my strength. I wanted to create something that captured that fight, that resilience — not just for me, but for anyone going through something heavy. That’s where the core message of being unbreakable comes from. It’s about rising, even when everything is pushing you down. I met Marqus through the music scene — we connected instantly, both musically and personally. There was real chemistry in the studio from day one.
MARQUS: We met online back in early 2024, I believe through mutual friends on Facebook. One of us added the other — I can’t quite remember who — but what I do remember is how quickly we clicked musically. We shared a very similar vibe when it comes to EDM, especially the melodic but high-energy sound. UNBREAKABLE is our latest Future Rave-inspired release, with an emotional vocal, uplifting energy, and a powerful drop. We wanted to make something that hits both the heart and the dancefloor.
3. What sets ‘UNBREAKABLE’ apart from your previous work, and why should listeners tune in?
MARQUS: UNBREAKABLE captures something very honest and euphoric — it’s emotional and melodic, but still has that festival edge. For me, it represents everything I love about Future Rave: the tension, the atmosphere, the lift. It also shows how our collaboration has evolved — it sounds more mature, more focused, and more impactful.
SNAJDER: What sets ‘UNBREAKABLE’ apart from my previous work is how raw and real it is. This isn’t just a track you vibe to. It’s more than just a dance track; it’s an anthem of survival, strength, and self-belief. Compared to my earlier releases, which leaned more into feel-good energy or club vibes, UNBREAKABLE has a deeper emotional layer. You’ll feel it in your chest — but there’s also this vulnerability that I haven’t explored this openly before.
4. How would you describe your sound?
MARQUS: I’d say my sound is a blend of Future Rave, Progressive House, and melodic big room energy. It’s dark, emotional, and euphoric — I love creating tracks that build tension and then explode with feeling.
SNAJDER: I’d describe our sound as emotional, energetic, and empowering — a blend of melodic electronic music with powerful drops and honest storytelling. It’s where vulnerability meets intensity. My influences come from both the underground and the mainstream, mixing deep feelings with festival-level energy.
5. Who is MARQUS and SNAJDER and why music? At what age did you each get into music and how?
MARQUS: My journey started in 3rd grade singing in a choir, but I dropped that pretty quickly for skateboarding. When I was around 12, I discovered electronic music — my first CD was Trance Energy 2002, and I used to make mixtapes with a dual CD/tape deck. That passion grew fast. By 13, I was producing music in Reason 2.5 and later moved to Cubase, which I still use today.
SNAJDER: I started messing around with DJ gear when I was about 12, but it wasn’t until my teenage years that I really dove in. It was never just about the beats; it was about expressing what I couldn’t say out loud. Production came later in life, and that’s when the mission changed — I wasn’t just making tracks, I was building anthems for people who feel everything deeply and fight silently.
6. Do you remember the name of the first song that made you love electronic music?
SNAJDER: It was the album Daft Punk – Homework that got me inspired to electronic music.
MARQUS: Absolutely — Warp Brothers – Blast The Speakers. That track was on Trance Energy 2002 and it completely changed the way I heard music. I was hooked instantly.
7. Who or what has been your biggest inspiration throughout your music journey?
SNAJDER: When it comes to music production, my biggest inspiration has always been Swedish House Mafia. Their ability to make music that feels both intimate and made for huge crowds is something I’ve carried with me ever since.
MARQUS: Artists like Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Axwell, Angello, Ingrosso, Martin Garrix, and Deadmau5 have played a massive role in shaping my sound and vision. They showed me that electronic music can be both powerful and deeply emotional.
8. What’s the one activity you love doing in your free time when not making music?
MARQUS: I really enjoy slowing down when I’m off the grid — spending time with my girlfriend, relaxing with our cats, going for walks in nature, and just letting my mind wander.
SNAJDER: When I’m not making music, one of my favorite things is playing padel. I also love spending time with friends and family, and I’m a huge Formula 1 fan — the speed, the strategy, and the adrenaline really speak to me.
9. Can you tell us more about your dream and future collaboration and what do you hope to achieve in the next 5 years in your professional career?
SNAJDER: One of my biggest dreams is to collaborate with artists who’ve shaped the sound and energy I’ve always looked up to. I want to play on major festival stages around the world, and launch more collaborations with both established and rising talent.
MARQUS: I’d love to collaborate with someone like Axwell or Martin Garrix someday — people who really understand the melodic power of EDM. In five years, I hope MARQUS is on main stages at festivals like Ultra or Tomorrowland.
10. This is all for now. Thank you for your time answering our questions. Where can our community find out more about your music and your future releases?
SNAJDER: You can find me on Instagram at @snajderofficial and all streaming platforms under SNAJDER. Thanks again for the opportunity and the great questions!
MARQUS: Thank you so much for having us! You can find me on Instagram at @marqusofficial, and my music is out everywhere under MARQUS. We also have another collaboration coming this summer — so keep an eye out for that!
