Bag Raiders’ “Shooting Stars” was already a certified dance classic before the internet got its hands on it – a euphoric slice of electronic perfection that proved some tracks are simply timeless. Now Dutch-Moroccan producer R3HAB, whose own streaming numbers clock in at a staggering 11 billion, has given this beloved anthem a 2024 renaissance, powered by Mufasa & Hypeman’s magnetic energy and RANI’s soaring vocals. While the original found new life through viral fame, R3HAB’s take reminds us why the track captured imaginations in the first place. His signature production – the same touch that’s earned him collabs with Rihanna and Taylor Swift – amplifies the original’s dreamy synths and infectious groove. Mufasa & Hypeman, fresh off their own billion-stream success, inject pure joy into the mix, while RANI (whose vocals have graced tracks by David Guetta and Jonas Blue) adds a soulful dimension that feels both fresh and faithful. Released through R3HAB’s CYB3RPVNK label, this isn’t just a remix – it’s a celebration of dance music’s ability to evolve while keeping its heart intact. “Believe (Shooting Stars)” proves that great tracks never really die; they just wait for the right moment to soar again.

The dead don’t just walk – they absolutely demolish everything in their path. Zomboy’s “Dead Man Walking Pt. 2” EP isn’t just a follow-up; it’s a five-track nuclear assault that proves the UK bass architect hasn’t lost an ounce of that face-melting energy that gave us “Terror Squad” and “Like A Bitch.” Opening with “Fallout” (aptly named for the destruction it’s about to cause), Zomboy reminds us why he went from drumming in metal bands to becoming dubstep royalty. The EDDIE collab “D.E.A.D.” hits like a video game boss fight gone rogue, while “Project Z” serves up the kind of grimy, mechanical mayhem that’ll have ravers questioning their life choices – in the best way possible. Now heading up his own Rott N’ Roll Records (after that legendary run with Never Say Die), Zomboy’s evolution from SoundCloud demos to 750M streams hasn’t dulled his teeth. This EP doesn’t just bang – it’s surgical in its savagery. That closing track “Inhumation” might offer a deceptively cinematic breather, but make no mistake: this is Zomboy at his most lethal, proving once again why he’s been terrorizing festival stages from Ministry of Sound to EDC Vegas. The dead man isn’t just walking – he’s stomping the yard. The post ‘Dead Man Walking Pt. 2’: Zomboy’s latest EP is Bass Warfare appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

He sold out two b2b shows at the Great Hall in Avant Gardner, showing his immense growth as an artist over the past few years. photo credits: ErikLorch As the doors of the Great Hall opened, a diverse crowd eagerly awaited Virji’s performance. The night kicked off with a dynamic sets from Hans Glader and Andruss. When Virji finally took the stage at 1am, the energy reached a fever pitch.

He’s a wizard at fusing the classic UK Garage sound with cutting-edge production, crafting a vibrant, bouncy, and undeniably unique sonic experience. The crowd, a mix of seasoned ravers and newcomers to the genre, danced the night away, united by the love of the genre. Throughout the two hour set, the energy was nonstop, with the crowd erupting in cheers and fist bumps as Sammy’s peak beats took the crowd through a journey. If you were there, it was honestly hard to not jump around. Hype and frenzied energy was fueled by some of his biggest hits such as ‘IF U Need it’, ‘Shella Verse’ and ‘Moonlight.’ Myself and many others in attendance that weekend left with excitement and anticipation for the new world of music that Sammy has opened up with his sound. photo credits: ErikLorch Virji recently uploaded his boiler room set from Denver for all his fans globally to enjoy.

Third Culture just dropped the kind of track that makes genre purists clutch their pearls – and that’s exactly the point. “She’s Evil,” their new collaboration with Chicago techno maverick Hiroko Yamamura, isn’t here to play nice with your expectations. The duo – Sian and Sacha Robotti – have crafted something deliciously twisted: a bass-heavy fever dream that’s equal parts playful funk and dark room delirium. But wait – they’ve also enlisted Detroit royalty DJ Minx for remix duties. Fresh off curating her own stage at Movement and dropping heat on Diplo’s Higher Ground, the First Lady of Wax brings her signature analog grit to the proceedings. This isn’t just a remix; it’s a masterclass from someone who’s been reshaping dance music since the early ’90s. The track lands via Octopus Recordings with perfect timing. While Third Culture’s been busy collecting co-signs from Solomun (who handed them an 8000-capacity LA debut) and dropping EPs on Maceo Plex’s Lone Romantic, Yamamura’s been holding down Chicago’s underground at Spybar and Soundbar, bringing her sci-fi-meets-techno vision to the masses. It’s a collision of scenes and sounds that shouldn’t work on paper – but that’s exactly why it slaps so hard on the dancefloor.

The world has been grieving the passing of former One Direction Member, the singer and songwriter Liam Payne. Taking a moment during his set at Insomniac‘s EDC Orlando last Sunday, legendary Swedish DJ/Producer Alesso paid a touching tribute to his late friend. Both artists had deveolped a friendship recently. However, it all grew exponentially back in 2019 and the release of their collaboration, ‘Midnight.’ Tribute Alesso spoke directly to attendees on his personal relationship with the One Direction star. Moreover, just before he played their track ‘Midnight’ in Liam Payne’s memory, he voiced a soft and gentle message on the passing of his friend and colleague: “the world has now lost a very talented musician, human being, and a dear friend of mine.” Alesso Alesso requested the crowd to turn on their lights whilst Liam Payne’s vocals echoed on Circuit Grounds. The singer’s image appeared at large on the EDC Orlando stage. Alesso wished for his tribute to reach everyone in the audience, with the love pouring in its entirety all throughout this highly emotional moment that was shared between Alesso and the crowd at the time, and now with all of us. Liam Payne, 31, tragically passed whilst vacationing in Argentina. The artist suffered fatal injuries after falling from his hotel balcony. The singer’s investigation is still pending, and new findings on his death continue emerging days go by. The EDMTunes family would like to offer our condolences to Liam Payne’s family, friends, and fans. We would like to extend our love to Alesso and the message he made to honour a person that was very close to him. We know the impact he made during his lifetime will forever be ingrained in our hearts. Not only as an artist, but as a human.

Darby’s ‘PARTY’ EP arrives like a glitter bomb in a therapy session – a four-track exploration of what happens when club euphoria crashes into late-night existential crisis. The Australian producer, already catching cosigns from Skrillex and remixing for ODESZA, refuses to let us just mindlessly fist-pump our way through his latest NIGHTMODE release. Sure, the tracks bang – “TRUST” with Britt Lari and the OOTORO collab “PARTY” are engineered to detonate on festival stages. But beneath the UKG rhythms and bass house thunder, Darby’s playing psychiatrist to the sweaty masses. “FLOW” and “AUTOPILOT” featuring ÊMIA dive into those 3 AM moments when the lights hit different and you’re questioning every life choice that led you to this dancefloor. At 24, Darby’s already got releases on Ninja Tune, Monstercat, and Bitbird under his belt, but this hits different. While his contemporaries are content making generic festival fodder, he’s out here turning Y2K nostalgia and club dynamics into sonic case studies. ‘PARTY’ isn’t just an EP – it’s what happens when your therapist starts spinning UK garage. The couch is optional, but dancing isn’t. The post Darby drops the ‘Party’ EP – a four dose hit of UK garage appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

Panamanian rebel Gian Varela releases his powerful and appropriately titled new track “Revolution,” for which he teamed up with Grammy-winning songwriter and vocalist Cor.Ece. The Latin House-influenced spoken-word heater is also the very first release on Varela‘s own label Monarka Records, marking a huge milestone in his musical career. “Revolution” certainly comes at an appropriate time not just for the US, but for the world, with its powerful vocals by Cor.Ece and strong associated messages, all tied together with percussive kick drums and a driving bassline. With this release, Gian Varela sets the bar high for Monarka Records as a home of diverse, globally influenced, and carefully cultivated people, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. “Having a label has always been a goal in my career. It’s not just to release my own music that I feel fits with this style of Latin house, but I also wanted to create a community through our music and the events I would throw around the world that could encompass the energy of Monarka. It’s an elegant, sophisticated, yet powerful vision of a label and a home for Latin house with no limits or boundaries. We want records that carry ‘attitude,’ which can be showcased on the dance floor. ‘Revolution,’ my first release on Monarka, and the label’s first release, on which I worked with the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Cor.Ece. As the title suggests, the track conveys a strong message behind it.” – Gian Varela Gian Valera Gian Varela‘s journey from a Latin Dance Music sensation in Central America to a globally celebrated House DJ and producer has been nothing short of remarkable. His artistic mission has taken him deeper into the global house culture, resulting in the evolution of his sound.

Four years ago, she released her first music and now she’s already on her fourth headline tour. It’s going well for Zingara. For The Crystal Children, her most recent EP, was released on November 1, and it’s a love letter to her “childhood dreams, the universe and the collective.” Ever since she was little, Zingara has been inspired by these themes and now, she’s bringing them to life through her music and through workshops at festivals. For The Crystal Children is a follow-up on her debut album The Code of Dreamz, released earlier this year. Both musically and artistically, you can see how this EP goes even deeper into creating its own reality, following its own universe. We had a chat with Zingara and talked all about manifestations, her latest liveshow, and what’s more to come from her. Hi Zingara! Congratulations on releasing your For the Crystal Children EP! Can you tell us more about your inspirations behind it? A lot of my inspiration comes from my dreams as a kid. I’m really embodying my childhood dreams and bringing them into my music. My ‘For The Crystal Children’ EP and tour is inspired by a folder called ‘The Crystal Children’ I was given by my aunt as a child, she’s my psychic witch aunt. It had a lot of information about crystals and spirituality. I thought it would be a really cool idea to work with, so I took that and ran with it. In my new music, I embody the lessons I learned from her in that folder. Throughout the past year, all the teachings I’ve learned as a kid that have to do with following the universe, the signs, doing whatever you want, creating your own reality, and bringing those other world ideas that I get to experience in my dreams at night and bring them to real life… That’s what my biggest inspiration has been. Talking about manifestations and spirituality, you led a ‘Create your own vision board’-session at Lost Lands. That was really cool! I’ve been dancing, and making art and music my whole life. It just clicked one day that I could teach that in my music and then everything kind of took off. I feel like I’m meant to show people the way that I embody my life and go about life experiences. It’s literally given me my dream life. I’d love to teach more classes like that. I’ve done a couple at Bass Canyon and Lost Lands now, and it’s always been good. In the workshop, we create vision boards and we make time capsules to come back to and read together. It’s been really rewarding because I’ve had people come to my vision board classes the year after and tell me that their manifestations came true. That’s why I do it. How does this spirituality connect with your music? I truly believe that everything is energy, and if everything is energy then that means that music also holds energy and power to it. There are studies that show that certain energy points, like the chakra points in your bodies, relate to certain keys in your music. I’ll purposely write some of my music in certain keys, based on where I want to feel it and where I think that a listener could get healing from it. For example, the key to your heart is ‘F’ and so I write a lot of music in F-minor. When you pay attention to it, you’ll feel it in your heart. I love electronic music, because there are infinite possibilities with it. You can take all those messages and ideas, and heal yourself and others. I started learning all of this when I was 11. Growing up, I was one of the only people in my area that was interested in spirituality and those kinds of topics. I started studying music in college and it was during Covid, when the pandemic first hit, that my music career started to take off. I started to go on TikTok and make videos about my experiences with spirituality and crystals, and people started to resonate with my videos. That’s when it clicked for me, and I decided that I wanted to write most of my music about that if I was gonna be putting it out there for people to hear. Fast forward four years, and you’re ready for your fourth headline tour. How does that feel? Every emotion. I feel infinite blessings and then there are also, for lack of a better word, curses in there. There’s so much happening all the time and it’s all a manifestation of everything I’ve wanted. I never thought that it could happen so soon. During COVID, when I was writing these songs, I didn’t think anything of it besides that I enjoyed writing these songs. I almost didn’t release anything because I was nervous that people were gonna think of me as this loopy spiritual girl. But it clicked and I felt so much love, but at the same time this amount of love and attention was also quite overwhelming because how am I going to keep the story going? And what else can I teach myself to teach others? For those who don’t know what manifestation is, can you explain? For me, it’s about stepping into your own power and the belief that you create your own reality. Your thoughts and your actions are a reflection of what’s in front of you. No matter what, you have the power to take control of what you want in this life and you can make your dreams come true. When I started to learn that as a kid, I thought that it was super cool, and I wanted to see it work. I started getting involved with different practices of manifestation, like journaling, telling myself affirmations like, “I can do this and I will do this,” and getting into that mindset of abundance. I started with the idea of, “Let’s have fun with life and take things less seriously.” This completely shifted my energy and now I am living my manifestations that I did a couple years ago and wrote down and journaled about. You can also see these manifestations coming back in my music and my artwork. In the artwork for ‘The Code of Dreamz’, you can see a little girl sleeping in what’s supposed to be my room and you’ll see the angel and the devil. Those are projections of my mind, and ‘For The Crystal Children’ is a continuation of that story. The little girl in that cover art is a little bit older, and she’s learned some lessons. When you get older, you dive more into your power. Now she has many arms and wings, and is embodying that growth. When we’re children, we’re taught magic is real, but then you get a little older and everyone tells you to stop believing in magic… With my music, I want to bring the magic back into our lives and embody that full-on like child self. Magic does exist. Maybe not in those same ways, but there still is magic out there. My generation, we’re so much more open and accepting of new concepts and ideas and breaking the social norm, “breaking the robot system” is how I’d like to call it. You have to go to school, go to college, get a job, get married… We’re all breaking that and it’s really cool. You can see that shift. The whole tour is not only dedicated to our crystal children and our oversouls, but also to the collective of, “We’re here, we’re saving the world. We’re doing cool shit, we’re having fun and that’s the whole point.” We’re here to have fun and be silly and bring our dreams to real life and have them come true. You’re also bringing four special guests… I have a lot of friends coming on tour with me. Firstly, I’ve got Gardella and Steller. They came with me on my last tour and since I wanted to do a part two of Code of Dreamz but still keep the story going, I knew I wanted to bring them. Their energy is incredible. We also have Sippy. I hadn’t toured with her before but I love her energy and her music and everything she brings to the table and to the scene. It’s so uplifting and positive. Then we have Super Future who has toured with in the past and is such a good person. I just really wanted to make sure that everybody that was coming with me is there for the music and they have the actual passion, but they’re also uplifting to be around. Absolutely. It’s so important to have uplifting people around you. Is that how you choose people to work with on your tracks as well? For sure. Steller is on the EP as well, she lives in Florida as well, a couple hours away from me so she comes and visits sometimes and we have studio sessions. The track on the EP is a collaboration called ‘Rhythm of Life. We started that over the summer and it accidentally manifested into something so magical. On a couple tracks on the EP there’s my friend Maurice Brown featuring. I met him over the summer at Shambala. He is an incredible artist, he plays the trumpet. I played at the Brooklyn Mirage this summer with Black Tiger Sex Machine and Maurice lives in Brooklyn. Steller happened to also be in Brooklyn so I went over to Maurice’s studio and we recorded the horns and the trumpet that you hear. Then Steller came over and then we all got to perform it live the next day at the Brooklyn Mirage. Looking back at these kinds of stories and even looking at my goals at the beginning of the year versus who I met this year… Maurice is one of those people I met on the road and I got incredible energy from him as an artist. He’s so passionate and it brought a new spark to this stuff. Watching him play the trumpet live and getting to record that was so much fun. What do you think got you to this point? First of all, a good community. I would probably not be mentally stable if it wasn’t for the community, friends and family I have around me. That is a huge thing, my support system. Besides the fact that I have an amazing support system, and team of friends and family, it’s also important to me to have my own creative space. One of my manifestations during COVID was, I need to move out of Maryland and I need to get my own place, so I came to Florida. I finally have my own sanctuary here, where I can sit and comfortably create. My support, my music and my comfort here is what gave me the opportunity in the first place to give people a piece of me. It’s my mindset too. I love doing music and I love doing all this, helping people and making people feel things, no matter what that feeling is, and bringing that out of them. That’s what keeps me going and that’s what’s got me here.

In a new interview on SiriusXM’s “Avicii Radio,” Klas Bergling, the father of the late EDM icon Avicii, delved into his son’s enduring legacy and the impact he left on the music world. Through a heartfelt conversation with Geronimo, SiriusXM’s VP of Electronic/Dance Music Programming, Bergling shared insights into the life of an artist who struggled with the pressures of fame and ultimately succumbed to his inner demons. As Bergling reflected on Avicii’s legacy, he touched upon the profound impact his music continues to have on fans worldwide. Despite the pain of loss, Bergling finds solace in preserving Avicii’s spirit and ensuring that his son’s legacy endures for generations to come. “That’s the difficulty also with him being so, you know, famous, you could say, and still so popular because he will always be there as long as I live, and my wife lives at least,” Klas Bergling Ensuring That Avicii’s Memory Is Around Forever Avicii’s life was cut short in 2018, leaving behind a void in music industry and in the hearts of his fans. However, his legacy continues to thrive thanks to the efforts of his family and the recent acquisition of a majority stake in his music catalog by Pophouse Entertainment, a Swedish investment firm. Klas Bergling, shed light on the company’s long-term brand strategy, which includes the development of an Avicii musical. This ambitious project aims to celebrate Avicii’s life and music in a way that will ensure his memory endures for generations to come. In response to a question about whether the Pophouse deal will guarantee that Avicii’s memory lives on forever, Bergling expressed unwavering confidence in the endeavor. “Absolutely. That’s what we hope and that was the reason for doing it, and of course, very, very strong reason is also that his music and, you know, the catalogs are a guarantee for the Tim Bergling Foundation,” he explained. “We have said that we will guarantee the foundation to be running for 50 years, and 50 years is a chosen number because that’s the age that Tim could have reached with the normal living standard we have today.” “So it’s a big task to do it, and the foundation is growing. We have a very, very nice, good team in Stockholm, and so for me, I feel today quite relaxed to rely on the team to take it further, you know, when I don’t have the capacity to be there, so it’s important for me to know that also, of course, and my wife.” The Tim Bergling Foundation Auction The Tim Bergling Foundation, established by Avicii’s family after his tragic death in 2018, partnered with SiriusXM to launch Avicii Radio as a tribute station dedicated to honoring the DJ’s memory. For Bergling, the station serves as a beacon of remembrance and a platform to celebrate his son’s extraordinary talent. One of the most noteworthy developments in the world of Avicii is the recent auction of his personal belongings, which raised over $700,000 in support of the Tim Bergling Foundation. This charitable organization, established by Avicii’s family, is dedicated to advocating for suicide prevention and providing support for young people facing mental health challenges. The auction featured 267 items from Avicii’s personal collection, offering fans a unique opportunity to own a piece of his legacy while contributing to a worthy cause. From iconic stage outfits to studio equipment and personal mementos, the items up for auction provided a rare glimpse into Avicii’s life behind the music. The overwhelming response and generosity of fans and collectors alike underscored the enduring impact of Avicii’s legacy and the importance of supporting mental health initiatives in his honor. As the proceeds from the auction poured in, it became clear that Avicii’s influence extends far beyond his music, touching the lives of those who continue to be inspired by his artistry and advocacy for mental health awareness. Netflix Documentaries: A Closer Look at Avicii’s Life Adding to the recent wave of Avicii-related news is the announcement of two upcoming documentaries set to premiere on Netflix. “Avicii – I’m Tim,” an intimate exploration of the artist’s life narrated by Avicii himself, is scheduled for global release on December 31st, 2024. This documentary promises to offer fans a deeper insight into Avicii’s journey, from his meteoric rise to fame to the personal struggles he faced behind the scenes. Furthermore, Netflix will also debut “Avicii – My Last Show,” a poignant look at Avicii’s final performance before his untimely passing. This documentary captures the emotional significance of that moment and pays tribute to Avicii’s enduring legacy as a pioneer in the electronic dance music scene. With these documentaries, fans will have the opportunity to revisit key moments in Avicii’s career and gain a greater understanding of the man behind the music. Through intimate interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and personal reflections, these films aim to honor Avicii’s memory and celebrate his enduring impact on the music world.
