[EDMTunes] TATE SEDAR Drops THIS IS POST-EDM EP
TATE SEDAR is putting it all out there with THIS IS POST-EDM, out today. The EP encompasses a genre-blurring, rule-breaking project that bridges the energy of the 2010s EDM explosion with fresh, forward-thinking production. After racking up 500,000+ streams, securing radio play for “Our Goodbye” with Liv Kennedy, and closing out 2024 alongside R3hab at Avalon Hollywood, SEDAR needed a new creative direction. That moment arrived with post-EDM—a term he coined to describe his sound, blending the realms of the digital and analog together. Now, the EP lands as both a mission statement and a launchpad for what’s next. With each song revealing another layer to the process. “San Francisco” sets the tone, channeling SEDAR’s Motown, hip-hop, and rock influences into a bass-driven groove that moves effortlessly between classic and contemporary. “Emotions” (ft. P$YCHEDELIC) dials up the unpredictability, fusing house, trap, and lo-fi hip-hop into a sound that refuses to be boxed in. Featuring viral rapper P$YCHEDELIC, it’s a nod to SEDAR’s commitment to blending styles rather than following trends. “Our Goodbye” (w/ Liv Kennedy) trades bombastic festival drops for electro-infused dance-pop, balancing emotional weight with radio-friendly hooks. It resonated beyond the underground, so to speak, landing at #18 on Nexus Radio and earning SiriusXM BPM airplay. “Coming Home (I.M.U)” steps into progressive-house territory, capturing the restless energy of a producer constantly on the move. “Dream” (ft. Otto Palmborg) signs off with a cinematic, weightless drop, driven by chopped vocals and an atmosphere that feels tailor-made for closing out a set – or getting lost in thought. For SEDAR, THIS IS POST-EDM is a pivot away from being locked into the predictable loops of festival anthems, instead embracing contrast and experimentation. With ten of millions of streams to his name, a breakout moment on Insomniac’s Discovery Project, and support from heavyweights like R3hab, Don Diablo, and Wolfgang Gartner, TATE SEDAR has put together a work both timeless while telling a story.

[EDMTunes] Elohim – ‘Sail (AWOLNATION Cover)’
Today, Elohim released a beautiful new cover of ‘Sail’ as a part of the Deluxe Edition her album Power of Panic. The cover breathes new life into an album already layered with emotional weight. ‘Sail’, Elohim’s stripped-down rework of AWOLNATION’s defining anthem, dials back the intensity and replaces it with an intimate, vulnerable delivery. The defiant energy of the original morphs into a quiet contemplation, transforming its raw power into something hauntingly personal. ‘Scratch My Brain’ interrupts the album’s structure with an interlude that feels like a fragmented internal monologue, shifting the listener’s sense of time. ‘Patience’ pulls tension to the forefront, simmering with unease, carrying the weight of restless uncertainty, and reflecting anxiety’s relentless hold. With Elohim’s 50 million global streams, Power of Panic swiftly achieved critical acclaim with essential tracks like “Can’t Remember Your Name”, “Tiny Human”, and “Didn’t Sign Up For This” finding their way into Spotify’s ‘Women of Electronic’ and ‘Dance Rising,’ and Apple Music’s ‘Future Hits’. The album saw more support through Amazon’s ‘Brand New Music’ and Audiomack’s ‘Best of the Week: Electronic’, only adding to the pile-on of positive reception. About Elohim Trained in classical piano but drawn to the lawless terrain of electronic music, Elohim has carved out her own lane and reaped the benefits. Her fusion of pop, bass-driven electronic, and alt sensibilities turned heads early, leading to collaborations with the likes of Skrillex, Marshmello, Louis the Child, and many others Focusing on Power of Panic, the album marked a saga for the artist – it was a fight to reclaim herself. At a breaking point from relentless touring and spiraling anxiety, she found herself leaning on benzodiazepines just to get through. When the walls started closing in, she had two choices: let the downward spiral take hold or fight to regain control. She chose the latter. Power of Panic became a sonic document of that battle. With past festival performances under her belt such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, or EDC Mexico, or speaking directly to fans through her Sunday Scaries series, she’s been around the block when it comes to the music industry circuit on and off the stage. Deluxe Edition seeks to show a dive into the narrative she’s been constructing all along. In an industry that often prefers polished surfaces, Elohim offers something that cuts through the noise.

[EDM.com] Grabbitz Finds Beauty in Chaos With Triumphant New Album, "Big Epic Nothing"
Grabbitz has released a new album, Big Epic Nothing, unearthing raw emotion across 11 tracks and painting an intimate portrait of an artist who has never been afraid to embrace vulnerability. Grabbitz has never been one to conform. The genre-blending singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist has long occupied a lane of his own, bridging electronic music with rock and consistently pushing boundaries in the process. With Big Epic Nothing, his fifth studio album and first full-length release under his own Blue Butterfly Records imprint, he reinforces his standing as one of today's most compelling voices in dance music. A deeply personal project, the album arrives as Grabbitz supports fellow rocktronic producer Sullivan King on his "Chaos Will Bring Peace" tour, a fitting backdrop for a record that revels in explosive energy and cathartic storytelling. "This album is a reflection of everything I’ve been through—musically and personally," Grabbitz said in a press release. "It's my story of finding beauty in chaos and creating meaning from emptiness." Zach Frank From the very first moments of Big Epic Nothing, we are thrust into its tempestuous storm of emotion and sound. Its opener, "Hero Pt. II," sets the stage with haunting lyricism before erupting into a thunderous drop. While its melancholic beginnings may suggest despair, the song ultimately builds into a triumphant anthem, underscoring the resilience at the heart of the album. "This is not a story where the hero dies at the end," Grabbitz declares, establishing a defiant tone. While the album largely stands as a solo endeavor, its sole collaboration, "Love You 'Til I'm Dead," commands attention. Released fittingly as a single on Valentine’s Day, the track merges Rezz's signature eerie basslines with Grabbitz’s cinematic vocal delivery, crafting a dark yet oddly romantic experience. As Big Epic Nothing unfolds, its versatility becomes even more apparent. "And I Run And I Run" shifts into full-throttle rock territory, featuring anthemic guitar riffs and a vocal performance that oscillates between soaring melodies and a rap-like cadence. Elsewhere, "Gasping For Air" straddles the line between spellbinding electronica and introspective alt-rock, with distorted synths masterfully melting into the hypnotic pull of the track's aching vocals. More than just another chapter in Grabbitz’s evolution, Big Epic Nothing is a testament to his artistic fearlessness. By refusing to be confined by genre, he continues to carve out his own path, bound neither by the constraints of expectations nor talent. Listen to Big Epic Nothing below and find the new album on streaming platforms here. View the original article to see embedded media.

[EDM.com] Cloonee Is Honoring His New Home of Los Angeles With the Largest Show of His Career
After finding a home in Los Angeles, Cloonee is ready to deliver what he's calling the biggest show of his career in honor of the city that helped him grow. The house music star in June is joining forces with Insomniac's Factory 93 brand to showcase the sounds of his label, Hellbent Records, label in downtown Los Angeles. Fans of the British DJ will also be treated to the sounds of a handful of special guests, who have not been announced at the time of this writing. Cloonee also got in front of the camera and opened up about the impact of his new home, explaining that LA's melting pot of cultures has influenced his artistic endeavors. He recently used his platform to raise money for those affected by the devastating LA wildfires, which scorched over 57,000 acres and killed at least 29 people. "The people of LA have welcomed me with nothing but open arms," Cloonee said. "I'm very aware that I’m a guest in their many cultures, but they’ve never made me feel like that, and for that, I feel very lucky. Being in the melting pot of LA has unlocked parts of my artistic nature that I didn’t know I had." "The last show here was in December 2023. We did back-to-back nights; both sold out, it was crazy, and it’s something I didn’t think I could do. But now we’re coming back to do it even bigger. This show will be the biggest of my career, in the city that I love, for the people who have helped me get here." Cloonee is scheduled to take over downtown LA's City Market on June 14th, 2025. Tickets are on sale now. Los Angeles, this one is long overdue. Sign up now: https://t.co/j2CBs4aQn0 Thank you for your continued support always.

[EDM.com] Amazon's Alexa Can Now Create Songs Using Nothing But AI and Your Voice—But at What Cost?
Amazon's Alexa+ just got a musical upgrade, but major record labels are not singing along. The tech giant has partnered with AI music company Suno for a new integration that allows users to generate complete songs, including lyrics, vocals and instrumentals, simply by asking Alexa. The feature is part of Amazon's broader rollout of Alexa+, an upgraded version of its voice assistant infused with AI-powered capabilities, according to Billboard. "Using Alexa's integration with Suno, you can turn simple, creative requests into complete songs," Amazon wrote in a blog post announcing the update this week. "Looking to delight your partner with a personalized song for their birthday based on their love of cats, or surprise your kid by creating a rap using their favorite cartoon characters? Alexa+ has you covered." Amazon's embrace of Suno is raising eyebrows across the music industry, considering the owner of a major streaming service would align itself with an AI company currently being sued for its data practices. It's worth noting that Amazon has also invested $8 billion in the AI juggernaut Anthropic, which is currently entangled in its own copyright lawsuit with music publishers. Major labels "are not happy" about Alexa's Suno integration, according to music tech executive Drew Thurlow, Sony's former Head of A&R, who said Amazon's music partners were not notified prior. Even more perplexing is the fact that Amazon Music deepened its relationship with Universal Music Group just two months ago, pledging in late-December to collaborate on efforts to combat "unlawful AI-generated content." The Alexa+ announcement comes at a precarious time for Suno, which is currently embroiled in a contentious legal battle with Universal, Sony and Warner, who have accused it of copyright infringement "on an almost unimaginable scale." Spearheaded by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the lawsuit alleges that Suno used copyrighted recordings without permission to train its AI models. The trade body is seeking damages of up to $150,000 for each copyrighted work. In a court filing, Suno conceded that its AI model "presumably" trained itself on "tens of millions" of copyrighted recordings, though the company maintained that its practices fall within legal bounds. Co-founder and CEO Mikey Shulman has dismissed the explosive lawsuit as "fundamentally flawed," arguing that "learning is not infringing." Shulman poured gasoline on the controversy in January, when he faced ubiquitous backlash after claiming on a podcast that most people find the music creation process "not really enjoyable." Whether this gamble pays off remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Alexa isn't just playing your favorite songs anymore. Now, it's making them.

[EDMTunes] REBŪKE ft. Linska – Choose Life
By now, you’ve seen REBŪKE‘s cyberfuturistic teasers on cult-classic film, Trainspotting, with ‘Choose Life‘ featuring Digital Dream collaborator, Linska. The single is out now and is also the title single of REBŪKE‘s debut studio album The World of Era. Mark your calendars for its release on May 19th via his Era label. The album promises to push creative and conceptual boundaries, cementing REBŪKE’s reputation as one of the most forward-thinking artists of the genre. Additionally, he debuted the track in Edinburgh where Trainspotting took place, and the clip went viral on TikTok. Firstly, ‘Choose Life’ takes the original script of Irvine Welsh and transforms it into something more. Something that dives into streaming culture, automation, and the existential inevitability of AI. Secondly, it is a dark track, blending dystopian vocals and escapist instrumentals for a motivating, brooding, familiar piece. Pulsating rhythms, deep basslines, and the words spoken evocatively create a modern-day techno anthem. Thirdly, if anyone resonates with the Trainspotting monologue, this track is the accompaniment to it. The track bodes as an existential message with an empowering truth on life’s dilemmas. What’s more, REBŪKE sets the verses slower than how the movie does them, contracting the hyper-connected reality with the raw, rebellious spirit of the original monologue. Their version expands on choosing a life, a job, a career, a family. They tell you to choose a ‘fucking smart television, wireless headphones, paper straws‘ and to ‘prioritize mental wellbeing and streaming subscriptions‘. Choose saving up all your money to travel the world just to have the weather fuck up all your plans… Choose an existential crisis after asking AI to do a task in ten seconds that would have taken you ten hours… [and] Choose your future, choose life. “‘Choose Life’ is a futuristic take on Trainspotting inspired by Irvine Welsh’s story. The idea was to craft a narrative around contemporary scenarios whilst keeping the dystopian meaning of the original lyrics. After the success of last years’ “Digital Dream,” Ella (Linska) and I wanted to follow it up by reimagining the lyrics and creating something fresh and new.” – REBŪKE The track featured on a multitude of sets from Heldeep Radio, Mau5trap Radio, Linska’s One World Radio, and even by Dom Dolla at FNGRS CRSSD and The Drumsheds.

[EDMTunes] Layton Giordani And Bart Skils Unleash Thrilling ‘Deadly Valentine’
Two Drumcode mainstays, Layton Giordani & Bart Skils, join forces on rapturous but dark-edged Techno thriller ‘Deadly Valentine’, out now on Adam Beyer’s imprint. Skils is globally renowned for his chart-invading take-no-prisoners Techno. The Dutch producer’s last release on Beyer’s imprint was the 2024 Sakura EP comprising collaborations with SUDO and Drunken Kong. Giordani, also a chart topper, at the forefront of an exciting new genre-bending sound, combines influences of Melodic House, Progressive, and Indie Dance with Techno. His last DC outing was a recent rework of the seminal ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ from Tiga and Audion, and the otherworldly but peak time ‘Freaks At Night’ single last June. ‘Deadly Valentine’ The duo have a history of playing B2B at massive events like Drumcode, Loveland and Awakenings. This is their first collaborative standalone single (their ‘Midnight Magic’ was on Layton’s 2020 Drumcode LP). “I was listening to Spotify and going through an indie dance rabbit hole. (…) I stumbled upon this track, was instantly hooked, and knew Bart was the right guy to collaborate with on this record.” Layton Giordani Bart stated that Layton sent him the vocal idea. Then, Skils turned it into an arrangement with a rolling groove. Finally, the track was updated several times and mixed with a new vocalist for release. ‘Deadly Valentine’: complex, steady percussion with insistent Techno beat gives a dark questioning edge to the high, sweet vocal, fast, echoing, often layered or harmonising with itself, singing the apparently romantic wedding ceremony lyrics in French & English. The track is both ethereal and edgy, with tons of groove and Trance-esque elements. Play it as a proposal, or an ironic reason not to make one – or just dance to it. Bart Skils Bart Skils, a Drumcode mainstay, has enjoyed a monumental year of his own. His ‘Bart Skils Remixed’ package dropped earlier in the year to widespread praise, featuring remixes of ‘Something More’ by Joris Voorn and ‘Shadowprint’ by Dok & Martin. Sibold’s interpretation of ‘Roll The Dice’ now joins this lineage, injecting the track with fresh energy while honoring the melodic essence that made it a fan favorite. Layton Giordani The New York native continues to ride the success wave from 2024. With releases like ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ and ‘PATT’, his sounds have exponentially increased his following and influence in the scene. Moreover, with his newfound style, he has released multiple successful hits on labels such as Drumcode and John Summit’s Experts Only. ‘Deadly Valentine’ follows Layton’s stunning hit ‘Act of God’ ft. Linney and Sarah de Warren. Up next, Giordani will be touring the Americas with stops in Vegas, Houston, Detroit, Cordoba, Ciudad de la Costa, and Toronto. Every day is a ‘Deadly Valentine’ with these two Techno Daddies: The post Layton Giordani And Bart Skils Unleash Thrilling ‘Deadly Valentine’ appeared first on EDMTunes.

[EDMTunes] Amy Wiles And Leena Punks Land Follow-Up Anjunabeats Collaboration, ‘Heard It All Before’
February waves goodbye in true Trancy fashion today. The Anjunabeats female duo of the moment is back. Amy Wiles and Leena Punks have collaborated again, this time with vocals from flowanastasia, on a new Trance track called ‘Heard It All Before’. After their highly successful debut conjoint work ‘Sweet Feeling’, the bar was high for this release. And I think they’ve crushed it. Amy Wiles, a regular artist on Anjunabeats, has released several successful tracks on the label, ever since her ‘Biding Time’ solo release in 2021. Once an Anjunabeats Rising star, she’s made her way to the very top and is now a recurrent face representing the A-label. Her sound has shifted towards old-school-tinted Trance, also making her one of my personal heroes for bringing this kind of Trance back to the spotlight. Leena Punks, on the other hand, has a career many would envy. She got into music after finding her father’s vinyl collection. She started as a radio host and then performed at clubs in various cities. She’s been featured on BBC Radio 1, KISS FM, and SiriusXM, and she just completed a 2024 full of touring, to now be a resident DJ at E1. ‘Heard It All Before’ After topping the Breaks chart on Beatport with ‘Sweet Feeling’, Amy and Leena’s next track aimed for the stars. And they have, in fact, topped their past work with this one. Delicate yet euphoric, the track talks about heartbreak while lifting you up with those unmistakable Trance saws and 909 racks we all love. Leena recalls the origins of the song: “I wrote a euphoric breaks record last year about a painful breakup with very emotional chords and melodies in the drop and breakdown. I sent it to Amy, and she loved it. It was great to see how our experiences and creativity came on this record and turned it into a big old-school trance banger. Also, it’s always great to work with one of your best mates who’s also a talented producer. Flowanastasia’s incredible delivery and lyrics gave me goosebumps and the record a more crossover feel”. And to her words, Amy adds, “I just knew when Leena sent over the initial idea for HIAB that I had to work on it. The melodies and chords were very emotional, which is what I love. It’s great to hear how all of our styles have come together on this one, turning it into a commercial old skool trancey-sounding banger, and flowanastia’s lyrics and vocals have added that mainstream/crossover touch that we were after!“. flowanastasia, a vocalist with a decade-long career, was in charge of adding the memorable toplines to ‘Heard It All Before’. With BBC Radio 1 features and even past involvement with Anjuna by working with Genix, she was the appropiate voice to call for the task. She says, “Feeling the hypnotic vibe in the music reminded me of being ‘on loop’ in past toxic relationships – like the emotions of being stuck in negative cycles – so I wanted to represent that in the lyrics“.

[EDMTunes] NIIKO X SWAE Dial Up the Funk Factor with ‘Drop It Low’
Los Angeles-based duo NIIKO X SWAE are back, and they’re paying homage to their roots with their latest single, ‘Drop It Low.’ This electrifying house banger, released via Dim Mak, is a testament to their playful spirit and deep-rooted love for the sounds that shaped their youth. ‘Drop It Low’ transports listeners straight to the sweaty, vibrant energy of a 90s basement rave. The track pulsates with a funked-out groove, driven by an acid-inspired bassline that cuts through the mix like a laser beam. A resonating lead pluck adds a layer of melodic depth, while a party-starting pitched vocal injects a dose of rejuvenating fun. Drawing inspiration from their 90s childhood, NIIKO X SWAE are embracing a nostalgic theme that will permeate their upcoming Dim Mak singles. The accompanying visuals for ‘Drop It Low’ further solidify this retro aesthetic, featuring an 8mm look that vividly brings the track’s artwork to life. A real NXS-branded yo-yo, a quintessential Y2K toy, makes a cameo, adding a touch of authentic childhood charm. NIIKO X SWAE had this to say about their latest release: “Drop It Low” captures the high-energy vibe we bring to our live sets and has become a staple in our shows. Designed as a versatile DJ tool, it blends seamlessly across multiple genres. It’s the kind of track you’d hear in a sweaty basement. It features a classic vocal that feels instantly familiar to any raver or clubgoer while pushing sound design to new levels—flipping familiar sounds into something fresh and unrecognizable.” Childhood friends and LA-based duo NIIKO X SWAE are living reminders of what friendship and cherishing those coming-of-age moments are all about. Today, NIIKOX SWAE are familiar faces in dance music. Their recent collaboration with Tiesto and Tears For Fears on ‘Rule The World (Everybody)’ has gone viral with over 150 million views on Instagram. The trending sound was officially released in October and has since eclipsed 40 million streams with support from Spotify’s Dance Rising and Just Hits, Apple Music’s DanceXL and New Music Daily, the cover of Amazon’s Pop Remixes, and much more. Following this, NXS released ‘Serious’ with the multi-grammy award-winning band Train.’ Serious’ continues to dominate DSPs, with major editorial looks from Amazon Music and Spotify. Most recently, NXS released their collab with Daniel Allan, ‘Waiting For You,’ which has received a flurry of DSP support like New Music Friday US, Dance Rising, and more.

Noah Cunane) afterxheaven — the new drum and bass alias from Fransis Derelle — has united with both ROY KNOX and SadBois for “Say What You Mean.” Backed by Noah Cunane’s vocals and released via Monstercat, “Say What You Mean” blends melodic bass and drum and bass, with afterxheaven’s signature sound being showcased in the release’s climactic closing drop. Derelle’s newest venture continues to move at a rapid pace, having already made a main stage debut at Provenance NYE in Atlanta, Bass Canyon, and Das Energi Festival.

News Welcome to February’s edition of the UKF Monthly Round-Up! Another month down, and bass music continues to thrive as we head deeper into 2025. Let’s dive into some of the biggest moments from the last few weeks. First up, we had some big news of our own—UKF was nominated for ‘Best Record Label’ at the Radio 1 Dance Awards! It was an absolute honor to be on the shortlist alongside some of the biggest and best in the game. Massive congratulations to Defected for taking home the win, and even bigger big ups to every single one of you who voted for us. Your support means the world!

Festival season is already making moves—Boomtown Festival has been granted permission to increase its capacity by 11,000 attendees, bringing the total to a staggering 80,000. Known for its immersive storytelling and diverse lineup, Boomtown has assured fans that safety, traffic, and environmental concerns have been addressed, paving the way for an even bigger and better experience in 2025. If you weren’t already hyped for this summer, now’s the time! The bass community was hit with heartbreaking news this month as we said goodbye to grime pioneer Terror Danjah.

Tracks Zero – West End Wobbler Ant Mulholland Zero’s significant rise in the global bass scene has seen the British producer churn out some of the most authentic bass rhythms of our generation. “West End Wobbler” is a nod to his love for dubstep, laying down a real marker for future endeavours. It’s rigid bass and high pitch tones created a frenzy of face-melting euphoria that will undoubtedly send shivers of reverberation through the dance floor. Keep an eye out for similar flavours courtesy of Zero. Napes- Shooter Hill ft. Snowy Sagar Deshmukh If you’re looking for a prime example of an artist’s rise from underground talent to a true innovator, Napes is the name to watch. Emerging onto the scene in late 2020, Napes quickly made waves with his Gunner Chopper EP, showcasing a unique ability to push the boundaries of drum & bass and jungle music. His futuristic approach to the genre has not only redefined its possibilities but has also cemented his status as a true genre bender, blending traditional elements with cutting-edge production techniques. His ability to blend razor-sharp sonics with an unmistakable club aesthetic has positioned him as a true genre-bender. After consistently delivering a string of releases across 2022 and 2023, his defining moment arrived in 2024 with his debut on Shall Not Fade, dropping the Wavelord Bizniz EP alongside Samurai Breaks. This four-track release was a masterclass in high-energy club music, balancing intricate drum programming with cutting-edge sound design solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting names in the game. This momentum carried him straight into the orbit of Alix Perez’s 1985 Music, where he unleashed the Shooters Hill EP—a release that further solidified his place at the forefront of the jungle and drum & bass. The title track alone encapsulates everything Napes represents: a seamless fusion of old-school jungle vibes with a forward-thinking, futuristic edge. Teaming up with MC Snowy, one of the UK’s most innovative vocalists, Napes has delivered a tune that effortlessly blurs the lines between old-school jungle foundations and new-school energy, creating a certified dancefloor weapon. The entire Shooters Hill EP follows this trajectory—futuristic, boundary-pushing, and unapologetically bold. With his ability to deliver music that resonates with both purists and forward-thinkers alike, it feels like this is the year when Napes’ dedication to creativity and consistency will be rewarded with another groundbreaking year in 2025. Mixes RENEGADE RIDDIMS: Emerald Lotus on Data Transmission Sagar Deshmukh Two-hour-long mixes have become a rarity, but when executed with care and precision, it offers listeners a deep and immersive insight into an artist’s sonic vision. Bristol-based multi- genre producer Emerald Lotus has achieved this with remarkable finesse, delivering a mix that feels both expansive and meticulously crafted. Reflecting on the mix, Emerald Lotus emphasised that every track was chosen with purpose—there are no “disposable” tunes here. Instead, each song is given space to breathe, creating a natural flow that transitions effortlessly between genres like drum & bass, garage, UKG, and glitch hop. Mantra w/ MC Blackeye @ The Cause // Genesis 25 x Worlds Collide courtesy of Killahertz Ant Mulholland The Genesis 25 meets Worlds Collide event was a real staple for the community and stealing the show was something very special. This vinyl set by Mantra at The Cause had the makings of a real show stopper and it didn’t disappoint. A thorough deep dive into the depths of jungle curation, giving us an hour of utter bliss. A real education in vinyl mixing.The crowd energy was high, the legendary MC Blackeye was on hand to steer the ship into one of those sets that you talk about long after the event has happened.

[EDM.com] Listen to John Summit's Euphoric Remix of Anyma and Ellie Goulding's "Hypnotized"
As a dance music producer, knowing when your track is truly finished can be a challenge—there's always room for refinement. But if you ever find yourself unsure of how to elevate your song, asking John Summit to remix it will reveal the answer. In his latest dancefloor-ready jewel, the house music superstar put an electrifying spin on "Hypnotized," Anyma's high-profile collaboration with Ellie Goulding. Out today, the official remix transforms an atmospheric journey into a full-fledged club weapon, amplifying the original's ethereal sound with his signature high-energy grooves. Summit's remix retains the emotional core of Goulding’s airy, captivating vocals but reimagines Anyma's dark, minimalistic production into a relentless house framework. His ability to balance tension and release without letting the energy wane reinforces his reputation as one of today's most in-demand remixers. The release of his "Hypnotized" remix arrives at a pivotal moment, aligning with Anyma's final residency performances at the groundbreaking Vegas Sphere. Adding to the anticipation, Summit himself is set to perform just before Anyma’s final show on March 2nd, ensuring that fans will experience this reimagined anthem in a larger-than-life setting.

[EDM.com] Subtronics, Hedex and IRAH Drop Genre-Blending Bass Anthem, "System Shock"
One of the most highly anticipated IDs in bass music has finally arrived, "System Shock," a seismic collaboration between Subtronics, Hedex and IRAH. Out now via Helix Records, the track was first unleashed on audiences across the country during Subtronics' 2024 US tour, for which Hedex provided direct support, before becoming a fan-favorite weapon in their DJ sets. A word to the wise: if you're listening on your own sound system, make sure your speakers can handle the shock because this track delivers it in full force. A filthy fusion of their distinct styles, "System Shock" is an all-out bass onslaught from start to finish. The energy kicks in immediately as the unmistakable vocals of IRAH—perhaps best known for his work on Chase & Status' global drum & bass hit "Baddadan"—cut through a storm of rising brass notes, building tension from the outset. The first drop then plunges us into a frenzy of drum & bass consistent with the trademark style of Hedex, who was named to the EDM.com Class of 2024 last year. However, Subtronics' influence is undeniable, as his growling sound design weaves through the chaos. IRAH barely has a moment to catch his breath because as soon as that sequence reaches its conclusion, the tempo shifts dramatically, hurtling us towards the track's second climax. This time, earth-shaking dubstep takes hold in the form of a destructive drop all too familiar for fans of Subtronics. Wobbly, distorted waves of bass crash against IRAH's deep, rhythmic cadence, delivering an explosive contrast. Listen to "System Shock" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

[EDM.com] Armin van Buuren and Bon Jovi Ignite Rock-Infused Rave With New Single, "Keep The Faith"
The world first caught a glimpse of Armin van Buuren and Jon Bon Jovi's "Keep the Faith" nearly a year ago at Ultra Music Festival, when the legendary rocker himself stormed the stage to debut the track alongside van Buuren. Now, almost a year later, the full-throttle collaboration has arrived. Released via Armada Music, the track marks both an unexpected collision of two music titans and a testament to both of their legacies. Armin van Buuren approached the project with reverence, knowing the weight of what he was about to reimagine. "Reworking this track was an incredible honor on its own, but having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment," he said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for ages, so this was truly special." The original "Keep the Faith," a defiant rallying cry released in 1992, was built on towering guitar riffs and Bon Jovi’s signature blue-collar grit. But it transforms in van Buuren’s hands, glowing with an incandescent trance undercurrent. The trance icon himself is no stranger to dance music reinventing some of rock's most storied classics—his 2019 remix of Van Halen’s "Jump" previously proved that guitar-driven classics could thrive under the weight of festival-grade synths, and his latest is no exception.
