Riot Ten & Deorro Release Genre Bending Single ‘2 Da Floor’

Bass music heavyweight Riot Ten and Latin music sensation Deorro’s highly anticipated collaboration, ‘2 Da Floor‘ is out now on Monstercat and might be the most explosive Latin electronic track of 2025.
‘2 Da Floor’ is a sonic collision born from a decade-long mutual admiration between these two Latin American electronic music giants. Transcending genre boundaries, this collaboration delivers an electrifying blend of Riot Ten’s raw, hard-hitting bass with Deorro’s infectious Latin rhythms. The track explodes with Latin energy, starting with a driving merengue beat that transitions into intense bass music. It’s a powerful fusion of traditional Latin sounds and modern bass music, with no subtlety. Raw Latin grooves meet massive bass drops and trap-inspired twists.
Riot Ten enters this collaboration riding a wave of success. Fresh off a 30-city North American tour and the critically acclaimed ‘Feral’ EP, he continues to dominate the bass music scene. With multiple #1 Beatport releases and his smash hit ‘Rail Breaker’ nearing 20 million streams, Riot Ten is undeniably one of the hottest names in electronic music.
Deorro, a true global phenomenon, is fresh off a Latin GRAMMY nomination for ‘BAMBOLE’ and a groundbreaking partnership with Peso Pluma’s Double P Records. His influence extends far beyond electronic music, collaborating with Latin music legends like Los Tucanes de Tijuana while maintaining his dominance in the electronic scene with collaborations with titans like Tiësto. He’s a festival favorite, having electrified crowds at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and most recently, the inaugural EDC Thailand.

The Complete Tomorrowland 2025 Lineup Is Here

The wait is finally over — Tomorrowland Belgium 2025 has unveiled its star-studded lineup, promising yet another unforgettable edition of the world’s most iconic electronic music festival. Set against the picturesque backdrop of De Schorre in Boom, Belgium, this year’s festival will take place across two weekends: July 18-20 and July 25-27, 2025.
Tomorrowland continues to set the gold standard for music festivals, and this year’s edition will revolve around the brand-new theme ‘Orbyz’, a magical universe of ice and mythical creatures that promises to transport attendees to another world.
A Stellar Lineup for All Music Lovers
From chart-topping headliners to underground legends, Tomorrowland 2025 boasts an unparalleled roster of talent that will grace the festival’s breathtaking stages. Fans can look forward to a wide range of genres, including House, Techno, Trance, Hardstyle, and everything in between.
Headliners include John Summit, Axwell, and Martin Garrix, alongside exciting collaborations like Matisse & Sadko B2B Third Party and Anyma B2B Solomun. Other standout acts include Hardwell and Armin van Buuren and the highly anticipated Symphony of Unity, performing twice to accommodate the massive crowds as the lineup suggests. Kevin de Vries B2B Cassian will deliver an exhilarating set, while 1991 will bring high-energy DnB. Notably, David Guetta returns this year after being absent in 2024, and fans will celebrate the return of Eric Prydz to the iconic festival.
Another notable item, not only are superstar trio Swedish House Mafia performing at the festival, but they’re also playing a back-to-their-roots House-leaning set at the Crystal Garden, under the — quite transparent — alias “Axwell B2B Sebastian Ingrosso B2B Steve Angello“. Amidst all the expectations, however, the absence of Tale of Us and MRAK further fuels the conversations about the end of him and Anyna as a duo and project as we know it.
Whether you’re a fan of pulsating Techno beats, euphoric Trance melodies, or Bass-heavy anthems, there’s something for everyone at Tomorrowland 2025.

As a venue, [UNVRS] is in a league of its own. Design to set a new global standard, featuring unprecedented attention to detail that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge innovations in production and the visitor experience, creating a hyper-customised environment where no two nights will be the same. Its capacity for trailblazing creativity will allow Carl Cox to take his uncompromising vision to new heights, resulting in a residency that will redefine what Sundays mean for Ibiza’s nightlife scene.
At [UNVRS], Carl Cox’s residency promises to bring together some of house & techno’s biggest stars, curated alongside seminal artists whose shows on Ibiza are a rarity. The dynamic lineups are bound to serve up music crafted for the dancefloor, offering up a rare opportunity to see the artist that has influenced the island, and the industry in his new home, doing what he does best.

This is Barcelona OFFSónar 2025 complete programme

With Sónar Week, a meeting of musicians, labels, and fans worldwide, Barcelona transforms every June into the pulse of worldwide electronic music culture. Among the notable events is OFFSonar, which evolved from a niche sister to the Sónar Festival into a heavyweight in its own right. OFFSonar will grow to six days in 2025, offering a mesmerizing week of world-class music, immersive events, and unparalleled energy at the venerable Poble Espanyol.
The four stages at OFFSónar 2025
Four stages throughout Poble Espanyol’s magnificent indoor and outdoor venues will comprise OFFSónar 2025:
Plaza Mayor: A majestic square framed by historic architecture. Monasterio: A serene spot perfect for melodic and atmospheric beats. Carpa & Picnic: A vibrant, sunlit space buzzing with energy. Upload Room: An intimate indoor venue for those craving close-quarters club vibes. 8 years of improvement and leading festival culture
Originally a label-oriented satellite event for the esteemed Sónar Festival, what started in 2017 has evolved into an electronic music celebration of legends. OFFSonar marks a major turning point this year: it moves from its conventional four-day schedule to an unheard-of six-day celebration, therefore indicating its increasing cultural relevance.
OFFSonar is tucked away among the famous Poble Espanyol, an outdoor architectural museum, and provides an amazing setting for musical inventiveness. Imagine world-class electronic performances set against sunlight courtyards, cobblestone streets, and magnificent city views—a setting that transforms every musical moment into a multi-sensory experience.
Practical Details
Dates: 10th – 15th June 2025 Times: 5 pm – 2 am (7 pm – 11:30 pm for Rüfüs Du Sol) Location: Poble Espanyol, Barcelona Tickets: Partial availability via DICE and Enterticket (some events already sold out) The Lineup: From RÜFÜS DU SOL to Elrow’s Carnival Spectacle
The 2025 program boasts a lineup that reads like a who’s who of electronic music. Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
June 10-11: Grammy-winning trio RÜFÜS DU SOL kick off OFFSónar with two sold-out opening concerts at Plaza Mayor. Their “Inhale/Exhale” live show marks the start of their European tour. June 12: Adriatique Present X takes over all stages with a yet-to-be-revealed roster of cutting-edge melodic techno acts. June 13: UK’s tech-house powerhouse Solid Grooves curates an electrifying evening of signature sounds. June 14: Afrohouse pioneers &ME and Adam Port headline Plaza Mayor, while FUSE label founder Enzo Siragusa curates high-energy sets on the remaining stages. June 15: The festival closes with a bang as the extravagant party brand Elrow brings its carnival-like theatrics and infectious house and techno vibes to Poble Espanyol. Sónar Week Highlights: Beyond OFFSónar
Of course, OFFSonar is only one component of Sónar Week. Along with inventive bands like Arca, Overmono, and Sega Bodega, Sónar Festival’s headlining concerts this year feature giants such as Peggy Gou, Four Tet, Eric Prydz, and Plastikman. Another level of excitement comes from working with Printworks London and BOILER ROOM. The Sónar+D program explores the junction of music, technology, and invention in parallel.

Has the art of being a warm up DJ been lost on the new generation?

There’s an art to a good warm-up, it’s a skill which is rarely passed on these days, and that’s kind of our fault. All too quickly we bemoan the DJ for playing too hard, too fast, or too many bangers, but when have we really spoken to the warm-up guy; normally some young herbert who’s managed to sell a few tickets and got themselves a gig. Never I bet, or if you have, it’s afterwards, something like “Jesus mate, that was a bit hard/fast etc..” I bet fewer still have congratulated the warm-up for a job well done. Al Bradley, a DJ of 20+ years experience, hit the nail on the head with his comments on a friend’s Facebook thread earlier today,
“The mistake people make is thinking DJing is some kind of competition – it’s not. A warm-up means just that – create a warm vibe which welcomes people as they enter the venue and encourages them onto the dancefloor (as opposed to trying to force them)”
DJing has changed immeasurably since we were that kid starting out. Back then it was normal for one DJ to play all night, so have to correctly structure their evening’s programming. Now they more often play 20-45 minutes each, and the emphasis is more on making an impact rather than working as a team with a longer-term viewpoint for curating music over the course of the whole night. The crowds have changed along with the DJs too. No longer will the younger crowds tolerate epic 16-minute tracks, its all about living in the moment; the next drop, the next big build. Good opening DJs are devoid of ego, devout music collectors and almost savant in their choices of track. Tempo, genre and groove play their part in the deceptively complex job.
“I think the art of the warm-up is slowly becoming lost in the current climate and it’s sad to see – some of the best DJs in the world are the club residents, and these guys know how to build a night properly and hold a room ready for the headliner to take over and progress from there. I can understand the excitement a new young DJ might have to feel like they want to “smash it”, but maybe this is something that can come with a bit more experience and more education, and I feel the responsibility probably lies with the promoter to sequence the right acts in the right order, and to choose the warm-up acts for the right reasons – their ability to DJ not their ability to sell 50 tickets to their mates.”

And therein lies the rub, and its something I’ve waxed lyrical about many times before. Promoters (not all) and clubs see dance music for its commercial gain these days, gone are those naive halcyon moments in the early 90s when we felt like we were beginning a movement; a call to arms for the disaffected Thatcher Youth. Now clubs are expected to book dance acts, and those acts are expected to behave and play a certain way. I remember a while back talking to an American DJ friend of mine that told me about her only experience of DJing in Las Vegas. “They wanted a full setlist with details on where the drops were going to be so they could arrange the pyro show accordingly…” This appalled me at the time, but with reflection, seems perfectly plausible for the place and the expectations of the crowd. But for the DJ, I can’t imagine the disappointment of having to play a prearranged mix which if it doesn’t whip the place up into a frenzy, you have no way of affecting positive change, so you don’t get booked again. Lee Van Dowski believes warm-up slots are the most rewarding sets a DJ can play,
“At the beginning of my career, Dimitri the owner of the legendary ‘Weetamix’ in Geneva gave me the chance to be resident in his club and that’s pretty much where I’ve been learning to DJ. From 2006 – 2011, while I was a resident I warmed up the crowd before some of the biggest names in the scene. Warm-ups are the foundation of a great party. It’s a bit like being a tightrope-walker. You need to keep a certain pressure without falling into the easy obvious peak time repertoire, but also without playing too easy or deep and get boring. The time a club is filling up is a very strategic moment, people have big expectations and your job is to keep them excited until the main act while most of the crowd didn’t come for you. There’s no recipe I’m afraid. It took me years to learn the crowd and still, it is not an exact science. I’m still learning. Actually, one of my best gigs lately was a warm-up; I was opening for my bro Rodriguez Jr at Watergate. Trust me, it’s such a great feeling to offer a well-prepared dance floor to the next act.”
The main concern of the young DJ, and forgive me, it’s been a while since I was one (no laughing at the back!), is that they will never be ‘discovered’ like their heroes. Thing is, we all have to put the work in and build a career. No one is going to hand you the keys to the kingdom if you don’t make an effort (or ruin it before you begin). There’s a slight resentment from the older DJs towards up and comers in so much as we had to sweep the floors and collect glasses after the place was shut, sometimes not getting home until the small hours, and not because we were having a lovely time snorting coke off some strippers tits, because Djing wasn’t glamorous, it still isn’t, its bloody hard work for very little return. But, oh, for the roar of the crowd and a room full of smiling faces, we gladly do it again and again… Chatting with Mick Park from supergroup Tilt, he made the point that the big names had to pay their dues and warm up at the beginnings of their careers,
“The role of the warm-up DJ is integral to any successful club night. You only have to look at the likes of Sasha at the Hacienda in Manchester, James Zabiela at Foundation in Newcastle upon Tyne or Paul Bleasdale at Cream in Liverpool to see it’s a real art in itself. Your job is to keep the crowd ticking over and set the ‘mood’ of the night without playing anthems or raising the tempo. Michael Wilson and I had to do that for many years when warming up for Paul Oakenfold at Cream and Home in London.”

Our friends over at Digital DJ Tips wrote a great post on DJ Etiquette and provide some useful tips for constructing a great warm-up set, so in the spirit of sharing, here are my handy hints for becoming a great warm-up jock.
1). Leave your ego at the door – Play with honesty, integrity and passion. It’s very easy to hear the difference between someone who’s spent 20 minutes downloading the latest Beatport top 20 deep house tracks, and someone with a real love for deep music that spends weeks hunting down hidden chunks of gold. Good warm-up DJs are obsessive record collectors and had an inbuilt ability to select the right cut at the right time. Don’t be that guy who thinks he’s better than the main act and smashes it out from the first track, build the mood and the energy with good transitions and well-chosen music. The night is bigger than anyone DJ, and as the opener, you set the tone for the whole night. Act like a douche and bye-bye stardom. Ego driven DJs never last, get your head out your ass and accept that at the start of your career, you will have to play to empty rooms, and yeah, it sucks your soul a lot, but get good at it and the promoter puts you on later.
2). Talk to each other – Starting out can be scary. When I was first on a bill and I didn’t know the DJ after me, I’d contact him, find out where he’s playing and go listen, or check his MySpace page; get a feel for his sound so I dovetailed with him better. As social networking has developed, it’s not hard to chat over IM and swap tunes, build alliances and trust. Especially if you live in the same town and will be going after the same gigs.
3). If you don’t know, ask – Leading on from the last point, I always ask the DJ coming on how they want to start their slot, whether what I’m playing is ok, or needs pitching down/up. Normally, I’m pretty close, but it’s just polite, and they will appreciate it.
4). Have a range of music, don’t stick to one genre – The best warm-ups can build a set from nothing. Guys like Jonathan Lisle could make grown men weep at Bedrock due to his considered approach. If you can, check out his OS_2 mix for how to play the perfect set. The ability to transition from deep house to something really funky or a breakbeat will liven up what you’re playing and increase the energy without having to resort to playing a hit. A warm-up does NOT mean boring. Of course, having a range of music is also useful if the main act is stuck in traffic and late to start, sometimes you have to play longer and build things beyond typical warm-up expectations, but leaving some room for them to still raise the tempo.
5). Have FUN – Just watch someone like Fatboy Slim or James Zabiela, they make parties sparkle just from their positivity. Their obvious love for what they do is infectious and frankly, DJing IS fun, so smile, have a drink, laugh, react and interact with the room, they are looking to you to give them permission to enjoy themselves too. We spend all this time and energy on music out of love, and if you can’t find the joy in that, hang up your headphones and leave the building, you’re harshing my buzz, man!

Amnesia Milano Announces First Line-up For 2025: TSHA, Silvie Loto, Miss Monique And Sara Landry

Amnesia Milano has shared the first of this year’s programme, with TSHA, Silvie Loto, Miss Monique And Sara Landry set to appear at the iconic Italian club this winter.
To celebrate its 22nd season, Amnesia Milano reveals #rEvolution. Singing between evolution and revolution, the hashtag explores the club’s sound, environment, and multimedia exploration.

Kicking off on January 18th with THSA, Silvie Loto, and Valerie Fox are set to play, with Marco Faraone, Alex Rubia, and Recap scheduled for January 25th. In February, Miss Monique and Valerie Fox are set to appear on the 1st, with Sara Landry and Richey V playing on the 8th, and Sidney Charles, Twenty Six, and Zoig on Saturday 15th.
About Amnesia Milano
Amnesia Milano means evolution: a story began in 2002 and evolved by declining tradition and avant-garde, proposing a series of DJs and electronic genres before anyone else, dictating the line and intercepting fashions and trends before they became such, to the point of turning into an authentic hub for the most important dance events in Milano and beyond.

Miss Monique
Over the years, the Ukrainian Miss Monique has built up a very unique style and sound identity. Her sets oscillate between house, melodic techno and trance, and when they are uploaded to YouTube they score millions of views, such as the – very recent – set at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Miss Monique is also very active on the recording front, especially with her record label Siona Records, which last autumn released her remix of Moby’s ‘Feeling So Real’, exactly thirty years after the original release of the American artist’s hit.

Sarah Landry
The best hard techno DJ in DJ Mag magazine’s Top 100 DJs Poll, Sara Landry grew up musically with a genuine pasion for jazz, blues, funk and of course electronica. Her sets have garnered millions of views and last year she took a quantum leap forward by performing on the main stage at Tomorrowland and at Electric Daisy Carnival and producing difference-making tracks on her own record label HEKATE Records. Sarà Landry is also at the forefront of promoting inclusivity and diversity within the electronic music community, using his platforms to support gender equality and showcase marginalised talents.

5 Facts You Didn’t Know About Hardwell

1. He voiced The Flying Dutchman in Spongebob Squarepants
Most kids over in the Netherlands will have been blissfully unaware of this, but in the stop-motion special ‘Spongebob Squarepants: The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom’ the voice behind The Flying Dutchman was from one of the biggest DJs in the world. Hardwell’s voice for the character is excellent and actually isn’t his first venture into voice acting as he did the voice for Mel the Pug in the Dutch version of ‘The Secret Life Of Pets.’
2. His favourite artist is Eminem
Hardwell has always been a big fan of hip hop with Eminem being the artist that stands above the rest for him. His love for this genre was more apparent in his early productions before he became Hardwell as hip hop was the primary genre he made. He has said that making a song with Eminem is his dream collaboration, but the closest we’ve got to this so far is his epic bootleg of ‘Without Me’ from Tomorrowland 2018.
3. ‘Zero 76’ is dedicated to his hometown
‘Zero 76’ was one of his big breakthrough tracks and was a dream collaboration for him as he got to work alongside Tiesto who was one of his biggest idols. Both Tiesto and Hardwell come from Breda which is a city in the Netherlands and the tracks title is a nod to that with 076 being the area code for the city.
4. His dad came up with the Hardwell pseudonym
Hardwell’s real name is Robbert van de Corput and it’s his last name that brought to life the Hardwell pseudonym. His father translated the “Cor” half from Latin to English to mean “heart”, and the “Put” half from Dutch to English to mean “Well.” “Heart” was changed to “Hard” and so Hardwell was born.
5. He used to have alternate aliases
Before he became Hardwell, he released music under various aliases so he could try different styles and genres till he found his sound. Since becoming Hardwell, he has released all of his music under that pseudonym ranging from the beautiful progressive house track ‘Summer Air’ to the big room techno of his ‘Rebels Never Die’ album.
Bonus facts:
His favourite food is garlic shrimps In 2012 he named Justin Bieber’s music as a guilty pleasure of his He is an avid gamer with his favourite games being Fifa and Call of Duty He’s a big fan of The Prodigy and has expressed interest in collaborating with them As a teenager he was a skilled Judo fighter

Escapade Music Festival 2025 to Feature RL Grime, Disclosure, Kygo and More

15 years of Escapade magic will come to life this summer as the festival returns to Ottawa with a lineup that's sure to light up Canada's capital.
Organizers today revealed a massive lineup to meet the moment of its 15th anniversary. Heading to Escapade in June are RL Grime, Kygo, Disclosure, The Chainsmokers, Excision, Kaskade, Gryffin, Jessica Audiffred and Liquid Stranger, among others.
Fans can also look forward to stage takeovers from Subtronics' Cyclops Recordings and Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats, the latter of whom will be presenting a special "Anjuna25" edition in celebration of the iconic label's 25th anniversary.  Check out the full lineup below.
c.o Escapade Music Festival
The lineup isn't the only thing to be excited about. Escapade is making big waves for the festival's 15th anniversary by moving to a new location at the RA Centre Grounds, just five minutes from its former home of Lansdowne Park. 
"While we've had amazing years at Lansdowne Park, upcoming changes, including construction at Aberdeen, make it impossible to produce the festival you know and love there," organizers said last week. "With limited space, we would have had to remove our 3rd stage, which we absolutely couldn’t do."
The move brings a cascade of exciting firsts and upgrades, promising an experience unlike any other in the festival’s history.
The Great Lawn Stage will be "bigger and better" with more room to dance, and the House Party Stage has moved outdoors to offer an open-air party fueled by four-on-the-floor beats. Elsewhere, the MEGASTRUCTURE Stage, a groundbreaking first for Eastern Canada, offers a "fully immersive experience" complete with a VIP platform for premium views.
Elsewhere, the Festival Village will debut a larger "Chill Zone" with a Ferris Wheel, expanded food options and interactive activations. The event will also feature more bathrooms and water stations this year.
Escapade returns to Ottawa from June 20-22, 2025. You can purchase tickets here.
