Lucidity Festival, an electronic music festival held at Santa Barbara's Live Oak Campground since 2012, will cease operations and not issue refunds for its cancelled 2024 event, according to a statement released by organizers. Lucidity cited "unforeseen last-minute changes in requirements" imposed by Santa Barbara County that "made it impossible for us to proceed, leading to a postponement that we can not financially recover from." After postponing this year's Lucidity Festival from April to late-June, organizers pulled the plug due to safety concerns from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, who denied permits and cited increased risks during the city's High Fire Season. The festival's campground is situated beside the Santa Ynez River, which blocks one of the festival's evacuation routes and could hinder evacuation protocols in the event of a fire-related emergency, the department said at the time. Organizers ultimately announced a move to a new venue, Monterey County's Lake San Antonio North Shore, and revealed the festival's rescheduled dates of April 25-27, 2025. However, they've now ceased operations and face backlash for the decision not to issue refunds. "We understand the trust you placed in us when you purchased your tickets, and it deeply saddens us to inform you that we are unable to provide refunds," reads Lucidity's statement, shared to Facebook on August 30th. "We deeply regret that we cannot offer you the resolution you deserve, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment and frustration this causes." Hundreds of incensed ticket-holders are now airing grievances in the comment section of a Facebook post by the music festival watchdog Festive Owl. Many have mentioned the potential for a class action lawsuit. It's worth noting that the FAQ section of Lucidity's website includes a disclaimer for their no-refund policy: "If you are not able to join us for the event, we have empowered you with the ability to transfer your ticket to another person, as we do not offer refunds for tickets." In a last-ditch effort to rescue the festival, organizers left the door open for a return in 2025. However, save for a "miracle," its proprietors will soon initiate the dissolution process. "If there is anyone reading this who thinks to themselves, 'I know the solution' please contact [email protected] immediately, as there is still a miracle chance to save Lucidity before we officially initiate the process of going out of business," this week's statement reads.

With its dark melodies and robust dance beats, it set the stage for an album full of depth and daring. ‘Feel Alive’ followed, encapsulating the essence of being vividly present in exhilarating moments. This track showcased Mojave Grey’s unique ability to fuse powerful vocals with dynamic electronic house elements, capturing the magic and mystique of desert dance music. Together, these three singles form a triptych that showcases Mojave Grey’s range and depth, setting a high expectation for their debut album, slated for release this Fall.

Creamfields has always had an amazing array of stages that provide a diverse experience everywhere you go, but this year they looked to step up their game even more with the introduction of the ‘Zenless Zone Zero’ stage. When ‘Zenless’ was first announced it was already grabbing people’s attention with its incredible 30,000 capacity making it the largest indoor festival superstructure in the world. The early projections of what the stage was going to look like were impressive and the names set to play in there such as Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike only heightened the excitement to see this new stage. But did it live up to expectations after all the hype? Without a doubt one of the biggest positives of the ‘Zenless’ stage was the insane lighting rig that was able to handle the crazy visuals you expect from the likes of Martin Garrix and surpassed expectations. From the powerful room filling lasers to the spinning beams of light coming from all over the place, there was no lack of entertainment from a visual standpoint with the lighting even improving upon what you could find at the ‘Arc’ stage in some respects. With it being an indoor stage, you wouldn’t expect anything crazy in terms of pyrotechnics but the flames being thrown from the stage and the pillars above the crowd were sensational and certainly gave you that mainstage feel. Every act that performed on the stage was able to put on incredible sets with a sound system that filled the structure and could be felt all the way at the back. Unfortunately for a lot of people they would only get to hear some of these sets from the very back or even outside. Despite its impressive 30,000 capacity when it came to the sets of Martin Garrix and Tiesto, the stage quickly filled up with a lot of the entrances having to be shut to avoid overcrowding. It was of course the right decision to do this to keep people safe, but a lot of people were left disappointed as they arrived at the stage to see their favourite artists and were instantly turned away as there simply wasn’t enough space. Though you could say that these acts simply should have been put on a bigger stage, this year posed some unusual problems with the likes of Hardwell and Timmy Trumpet struggling to pull big crowds at the ‘Arc’ stage. Even Alesso who closed the ‘Arc’ stage on the final day didn’t receive the type of crowd you would expect for a mainstage closing set. It’s when you look at what sets were clashing that you realise where some of the problems spawned from. As Tiesto was performing at 1am, he wasn’t clashing with many artists of the same calibre as him meaning that nearly everyone tried to get into ‘Zenless’ to see him. Martin Garrix was following on from Third Party on the ‘Zenless’ stage who had already drawn in a massive crowd and have a similar fanbase so very few people cleared out of the tent leaving it still packed out. The unpredictability of how many people are going to go to each set is something that is very hard to deal with and this year the struggle was quite apparent. When you look at the problems at the ‘Zenless’ stage a lot of it came down to organisation of the acts but that is certainly not an easy task to take on and even the best laid plans can go wrong. This is of course only the first year that the ‘Zenless’ stage has been used so there are lots of things that can be learnt from this to carry into next year. Despite these problems its fair to say that ‘Zenless’ is an amazing addition to the roster of fantastic stages at Creamfields and that the organisers put on yet another amazing festival that everyone enjoyed. Once you got right in the thick of it with the amazing lighting filling the room, fire pumping out right above you and beautiful music pouring into your ears it was undeniably a brilliant experience that everyone will be looking forward to having more of.

As the sun shines on yet another anniversary of the iconic track’‘Calling (Instrumental)’ by Alesso and Sebastian Ingrossos, it is apparent that this is a track that has defined the electronic dance music scene. Released on August 31, 2011 ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ fundamentally changed the landscape, where even without poignant lyrics, the melodies and beats are enough to sway even the toughest of hearts. What also makes this song so iconic is the culmination of two greats in the electronic dance music world: Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso, both Swedish nationals who have been in the game for a very long time. It’s almost as if this collaboration was destined to happen as Alesso was once helmed to be under the tutelage of Ingrosso. The result of this historic union is none other than the track ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ which has since gone on to become a symbol of EDM across festivals, clubs and even in people’s playlists. The true power of this fantastic partnership goes beyond the production of the song and its melodies, but rather, the memories it invokes and the place it holds in the hearts of fans across the globe. Many who have heard either Alesso or Sebastian Ingrosso include this in their sets will have fond memories of just being at a festival with their friends, and letting the beats of ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ drown out all their sorrows and worries of the world. I sure have some spectacular memories of this song, especially having spent most of my early 20’s playing ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ on repeat. Did you know? ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ holds a lot of significance for the electronic dance community, having been the foundation for influence for a lot of tracks and artists following its release. Some notable examples include Zedd, when he created ‘Spectrum’ which blends harmonies and melodies in a similar manner to ‘Calling (Instrumental)’. Another noteworthy example is Porter Robinson‘s ‘Language’ which has noticeable influences, especially about the euphoric feeling ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ invokes. These tracks and artists are amongst the plethora of many who owe part of their success to the path carved by the release of ‘Calling (Instrumental)’. Even now, 13 years since it’s release, ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ is still regarded to be that one song EDM fans all over love and hold dear. It also stands as a reminder of the early days of electronic dance music, when words and visuals were not needed to feel as though you’re one with the artist and the song. Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso‘s track can be described to be more than just a song – it’s a moment, frozen in time, and a symbol of the desire to release one’s inhibitions and just live the magic that is EDM. So here’s to ‘Calling (Instrumental)’, a track that’s more than just music—it’s a timeless connection, a reminder of the feelings and moments that unite us all. As we celebrate its anniversary, let’s cherish the emotions it continues to evoke. Whether it’s your first listen or your thousandth, ‘Calling (Instrumental)’ is a testament to the extraordinary power of music.

Listen to the most flavour-packed tracks we discovered this week. Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday. Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order. And remember, if you would like to contact us for a chance to feature your track on our page, head over to this link right here. Craig Connelly & Nicholas Gunn feat. Alina Renae – Miss You Genre: Uplifting Trance Grab your tissues everyone, we’re kicking this week’s NMF on a super touching tune. Trance maestro Craig Connelly joins Blue Dot boss and all-round prodigy Nicholas Gunn to release what’s perhaps the most beautiful Trance tune we’ve heard in a while: ‘Miss You‘, alongside Alina Renae. Straight-up tear-inducing. There’s no other term I’d rather use to coin this release. It’s what you would expect from two artists of this calibre joining forces, but it’s honestly crafted in such a flawless manner I truly, truthfully can say, I got to crying businesses far earlier than I’d thought. As a fun bit of trivia, this is Connelly’s second release after getting married to the love of his life, Ally. Congratulations, you two! Crusy – Hey Girls, B-Boys Genre: Tech House, Techno Toolroom never disappoints. Mark Knight’s imprint has become a leader of the House and Tech House sounds for decades, often trailblazing and shaping the core elements of the funkier and groovier corners of Dance music for years to come. That’s why we’re excited to share the news: Spanish icon Crusy has just landed yet another signing on the label. And it’s quite the monstrous one. ‘Hey Girls, B-Boys‘, is a nod to the past, with a clever and refreshing touch. Machine-programmed, dry drums are all it took for Crusy to craft a banger, but he went one step further. He sampled the iconic ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl‘ voice, to make of his banger a very memorable one. Sing along to the lyrics wherever you are, and whenever you please. Here we go! Ferry Corsten & Silva City – Chaos Genre: Trance (Old-School) Under such a simple name, ‘Chaos‘, you wouldn’t imagine just how lovely this track is. And the thing is, along with ‘Just Breathe’, this one is arguably the most Trance-inducing record of Ferry Corsten‘s ongoing LP, Connect. Think Golden Age. This record is precisely that. Add to it this track is a collaboration with Silva City (the Old-school Trance alias of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot), and you have a future classic. The melody is so simple, and the nature of the track is stripped-back just like the old days. A few elements which all play such a key part in the picture, that’s the philosophy here. The main lead is an evolving saw pluck, backed by magical old-school percussion, snare rolls, delayed crashes, rolling basslines, and harmony companions. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. Tiago Dima & Will Vance – Air And Darkness (Gobi Desert Collective Remix) Genre: Downtempo A few weeks ago, we featured the original debut collaboration between Will Vance and Tiago Dima, which is a lovely Melodic House record. This time, ‘Air and Darkness’ sees a lovely Downtempo adaptation from the hands of Gobi Desert Collective, an Antwerp-based DJ/Producer duo with a knack for impactful music. This remix tastes just like it said on the box: GDC really gave the track an Ethnic-sounding spin. The end result is thought-provoking, deep, and has your back on those busy days when you get to the end of your shift and want nothing but peace. This song delivers that very dose of tranquillity. Wax Motif, Truth X Lies, AK Renny – 212 Genre: Tech House Australian-born, LA-based DJ and producer Wax Motif is back with ‘212‘, a Tech House anthem released via Cr2 Records. Teaming up with NYC duo Truth x Lies and Bass DJ + rapper AK RENNY. Wax Motif delivers an infectious beat that masterfully blends House, Electro, and Hip-Hop elements. An ode to the undeniable energy of New York City’s iconic area code, ‘212’ captures the gritty yet vibrant pulse of the bustling metropolis in a way that only this powerhouse trio can. ‘212’ is a bold and boundary-pushing offering, propelled by minimalist, yet powerful production centered around a relentless bassline. AK RENNY’s sharp verses add a striking edge. Making this track an undeniable standout on any playlist or dancefloor. With its innovative approach and genre-blurring sound, ‘212’ demands attention and leaves a lasting impact. Final Words Stay tuned, for more of our compilations every Friday — based on demand.

Calling all ‘Angels’ — the powerhouse trio of Dimension, Sub Focus, and NGHTMRE have finally unleashed their feel-good collaboration after months of tantalizing teasers and mounting anticipation. ‘Angel’ merges the distinctive styles of all three artists, blending high-energy elements of Drum and Bass with the crystalline vocals of Canadian singer Mougleta. At just over three uplighting minutes, it’s easy to see why Radio 1’s Dance Party with Danny Howard named ‘Angel’ Hottest Record of the Week. A Heavenly Trio Dimension emerged onto the drum and bass scene in 2012, gaining major recognition after signing with Chase & Status’s label in 2014. His 2018 collaboration ‘Desire’ with Sub Focus became one of the most successful Drum and Bass tracks on streaming platforms. Known for blending the aforementioned with elements of Future Funk and other Electronic genres, Dimension released his debut album Organ in March 2021 and most recently collaborated with Alison Wonderland on ‘Satellite.’ Sub Focus has been a driving force in the DnB scene since 2003. His self-titled debut album, released on October 12, 2009, featured hits like ‘Rock It’ and ‘Follow the Light,’ followed by his 2013 album Torus. In 2020, he collaborated with Wilkinson on the album Portals, and his latest album Evolve, released on May 12, 2023, won “Best Album” at the Drum and Bass Arena Awards. His latest single ‘Wildfire’ was released on July 30. Both Sub Focus and Dimension are part of the WORSHIP artists collective, alongside Culture Shock and 1991. NGHTMRE burst onto the Electronic Dance music scene in 2015, gaining significant attention when Skrillex played his unreleased track ‘Street’ at Ultra Music Festival. Known for his diverse sound that blends elements of Trap, Dubstep, and other Electronic genres, he released his debut album DRMVRSE in 2022. NGHTMRE continues to influence both the EDM and hip-hop scenes with his innovative sound design and production techniques. With ‘Angel,’ Dimension, Sub Focus, and NGHTMRE set a new benchmark for future collaborations, showcasing their creative synergy.

The Dutch DJ and producer, Martin Garrix released the full recording of his monumental live set from Sziget Festival 2024 on YouTube, capturing the hearts of thousands present at the iconic Budapest festival. This marked the third time Garrix aced the Sziget stage, mesmerizing the audience with his electrifying beats and infectious energy. Now, fans worldwide can experience the magic of Sziget 2024 directly from their screens, immersing themselves in the euphoria of Garrix’s performance. One of the standout moments of Garrix’s set at Sziget 2024 was the debut of his new single, ‘Smile‘. The track, with its uplifting melodies and feel-good lyrics, had the crowd beaming with excitement. The track quickly became a fan favorite, once again showcasing Garrix’s talent for blending catchy hooks with dancefloor-ready rhythms. As the music pulsated through the festival grounds, the energy was palpable, creating a sense of unity among the audience as they danced and sang along to the infectious beats. But the magic didn’t stop there. Garrix surprised the Sziget Festival audience by dropping twelve unreleased tracks during his set, keeping them on their toes and eager for more. The crowd’s energy was electric, their enthusiasm infectious as they reveled in the unique experience of hearing new music for the first time. However, there was a moment of tension when a power cut interrupted the performance. Despite the temporary setback, Garrix’s professionalism and the audience’s unwavering support ensured that the show went on seamlessly. After the main show, Sziget Festival 2024 wasn’t over yet for Garrix. Garrix’s record label imprint STMPD RCRDS hosted one of the biggest stages at Sziget throughout the night. Garrix played another energetic set as the surprise guest and unstoppable as ever stayed on for a B2B with DubVision, after which other longtime collaborators such as Mesto, Blinders and Justin Mylo, as well as upcoming talent from the label such as Eleganto, Andrew Mathers, Merow, Moksi and NUZB took the stage. All in all a good preparation for STMPD RCRDS 2024 Label night at AFAS during ADE. The post [WATCH] Martin Garrix Uploads Sziget 2024 Set To YouTube appeared first on EDMTunes.

Here’s a beautiful piece that reminds us of the older days of Trance. Oh, Ferry, you’ve done it again. In case you’re not aware, Ferry Corsten, the legend and pioneer of the modern Dance sound (both Trance and the subsequent genres), has been quite busy juggling studio and gigs around the world this past year. In particular, he’s been crafting his next studio album, Connect. Connect is an ongoing project. And differently from the usual album marketing campaign, in which an artist lifts two to four songs prior to the full LP, Ferry’s unveiling these songs as they come, one by one. We’ve heard that old-school sound peeking through Corsten’s latest piece of work, just like he mentioned in our interview with him a while ago. We’ve loved ‘Just Breathe’, we’ve loved ‘Stay Awake’, we’ve absolutely favourited ‘Fulfillment’, and we’re now delighted to receive his latest, a collaboration of sorts. ‘Chaos’ Under such a simple name, you wouldn’t imagine just how lovely this track is. And the thing is, along with ‘Just Breathe’, this one is arguably the most Trance-inducing record of them all. Think Golden Age. This record is precisely that. Add to it this track is a collaboration with Silva City (the Old-school Trance alias of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot), and you have a future classic. The melody is so simple, and the nature of the track is stripped-back just like the old days. A few elements which all play such a key part in the picture, that’s the philosophy here. The main lead is an evolving saw pluck, backed by magical old-school percussion, snare rolls, delayed crashes, rolling basslines, and harmony companions. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I acknowledged this was a today thing and not a golden Gouryella era release. Thank you Ferry!

It’s been a while, but we’re finally anticipating Richard Bedford’s next venture with the Trance trio. Heart. Of. Stone. For some of you, fellow readers, this might have been the most awaited ID Above & Beyond premiered two entire years ago at the ABGT500 milestone show. That night in Los Angeles would mark the last time the three guys would be spotted playing together, as they decided to call ABGT550 off in exchange for more time in the studio, and all gigs but ABGT are performed by two of the three, always. This year, they’re returning. But the ID won’t be an ID anymore. ‘Heart of Stone’ will be released next Thursday, September 5th, on Anjunabeats. The vocal track, which features the iconic male voice of Trance, Richard Bedford, is the next chapter of uncountable ventures of the four artists coming together. He’s the unmistakable voice behind countless Above & Beyond anthems such as ‘Sun & Moon’, ‘Thing Called Love’, and ‘Alone Tonight’. In fact, he’s the chosen voice whenever the boys have something to say in a masculine timbre. As Tony mentioned earlier this month in our exclusive interview with him: These are male songs written from a male perspective. And so when we found Richard Bedford, that was kind of, for me, one of the most important things that we did as Above & Beyond, because I think a lot of our fans are men. I don’t mind the women that come to see us [laughter], but I’m writing songs from a male perspective. (…) I don’t know, but there’s a difference in the kind of songs that I write and the kind of songs that Zoë writes. So I’m happy that a man is delivering them, because I think they need to have that male delivery. -Tony McGuinness Since its debut, ‘Heart of Stone’ has mesmerised audiences at EDC Las Vegas, Group Therapy Weekender at the Gorge Amphitheatre, and Printworks in London. And it will now grace Mexico City, as the band and the entire label heads over to the Hipódromo de las Américas on October 19th and 20th for ABGT600. So, it’s time to set your calendars for what’s going to be quite an eventful day. Pre-save Above & Beyond and Richard Bedford’s new journey, by clicking here.

A rhythmic heartbeat propels Low Mileage's latest release, a buoyant indietronica track that invites us to dance away our worries in times of need. Out now via MrSuicideSheep's found/red label, "When You Need Somebody" teeters on the edge of contradiction—it's a song about emotional distance set to music that begs you to move closer. The result is a track that resonates in both body and mind, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its atmospheric embrace while pondering its deeper meanings. The song's uplifting house drop acts as a counterpoint to the more complex lyrics that follow in the break. "Didn't want to make it up to you / 'Cause nothing that I do ever hurts you," quavers a voice caught between frustration and care. It's a snapshot of a relationship where one person feels invisible—an apology that isn't, a strength that masquerades as weakness. The chorus, however, offers a lifeline: "I'm here when you need somebody." It's a simple statement that carries weight, especially in the track's stunning coda, where Low Mileage brings it all home by virtue of a drop sequence bursting with emotion and UK garage grooves. Listen to "When You Need Somebody" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

We recently caught up with one of the most sensitive duos in the Organic House industry. If you’ve been either a fan of Organic House, or you’ve been at Burning Man this year and/or the last one, you might have heard one particular tune. ‘Matter Of Time (Stars Align)‘ is the title of a cheeky little track that made its way to being one of the more hotly-anticipated IDs for close to a year. Legend says it made its way across the playa in 2023, jumping from DJ to DJ via USBs. The artists behind said (master)piece are no other than ARTEMIDES, a fairly new duo consisting of veteran producers — and life partners — Seth Schwarz and Lydgen. Under their conjoint alias, they’ve released tracks like ‘Create The Universe’, ‘Leap of Faith (Follow your Heart)’, and ‘Who we are’. Below is a link to their ‘Matter Of Time’ emotional record. We had the chance to have a little chat with them, just before departing to this year’s Burning Man. So we did what should be done: we asked them about that not-anymore-ID that practically soundtracked the festival, apart from diving into their vision as a duo, what it feels like to work together under a same name, plans for the future, Antarctica, collaborations, and so much more. So sit down, put on your headphones with Seth and Lydgen’s best tunes, and read on, as we embark on a Q&A round with the masterful Organic House duo, ARTEMIDES. The Interview (Please note, the bolded text represents a question, while the paragraph(s) following it represent ARTEMIDES’ answers.) So, you guys are getting ready for Burning Man. What are your thoughts, are you excited, nervous maybe? What are your expectations for this year’s gathering? We’re beyond excited, Burning Man is such a unique experience! But this year is a bit different for us. Lydgen is in the 9th month of pregnancy with our first baby, so she won’t be able to join Burning Man. Seth is more than excited to play our music solo this year. While ARTEMIDES will miss the desert vibes this time, we’ll be back next year stronger than ever. You’re two separate acts, and have been forging your own careers over time. When did you decide to give birth to ARTEMIDES as a duo rather than a series of standalone collaborations? When did you see that extra bit of magic to create a separate alias? The idea for ARTEMIDES was born a few years ago during a magical experience at Cloud9 in South Africa. We’ve always made music together, but it was there that we realized we should fully combine our creativity and musicality, especially during Seth’s shows. That moment sparked the idea to create ARTEMIDES as a distinct project where we could truly explore and express our combined artistic vision, with the violin and the singing. The synergy was undeniable, and we knew this was something special that deserved its own identity. What’s the story behind ‘Matter of Time’? What, or who, was your musical inspiration for this particular piece, and how did it come about? ‘Matter of Time’ emerged during a pivotal moment when we realized that we wanted to fully commit our lives to music and the artist’s path. This was around spring 2023, a time of transformation for us. The melodies and lyrics for the song came to us effortlessly and with a sense of clarity. It was a reflection of our decision to embrace music as our true purpose, and the creative process felt light and natural, as if the song was just waiting to be discovered. What do you enjoy most about making music together? The best part is the constant exchange of ideas and the way we push each other creatively. There’s a sense of trust and freedom that allows us to experiment and explore new sounds. We each bring our own influences and styles to the table, which makes the process unpredictable and exciting. It’s like a conversation through music, where we both learn and grow with every project. Have you conquered any lifelong dreams you had in the music realm, or had any moments in which you look back and realise how far you’ve made it? Absolutely. One of the standout moments was our performances at Burning Man 2023, where we played on the big stages at PlayAlchemist and Playground. We played ‘Matter of Time,’ and seeing the crowd go wild was an incredible experience. It was definitely a high point in our journey so far and gave us the affirmation that we’re on the right path with our music. Performing at such iconic events and feeling that connection with the audience is something we’ll never forget. Are there any acts you would want to collaborate with in the future? Maybe even something outside of the four-on-the-floor canvas? We’re always open to new collaborations, especially with artists who bring something different to the table. We’d love to explore a blend of organic instruments and electronic elements with artists and true music producers, also outside the traditional electronic scene — Seth has always dreamed of playing his music with a classical orchestra, which would be an incredible fusion of organic and electronic elements. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what excites us. What are your plans for the future, any gigs on the horizon? Especially, we’d love a bit of an insight into a so-called Antarctica expedition we heard through the grapevine… There’s definitely a lot on the horizon! In the next few months, Seth will be performing mostly solo. And yes, the Antarctica expedition is real! It’s an ambitious idea to create music in one of the most remote and pristine environments on Earth, and it’s something he is incredibly excited about. And also he has some exciting events lined up, including appearances at ADE in Amsterdam this October, and in November, he is touring in New York and Canada. Until Lydgen is ready to be back on stage, we’ll be busy creating new music in the studio. Next to his busy artist life, Seth is also highly involved in developing a new music streaming platform called WeR1, which aims to create a more transparent and rewarding ecosystem for artists and their communities. At ADE they have a big launch event with great artists playing. You can download the app and sign up using his invite-code SETH07. Closing the Q&A on a more philosophical note, given just how fragile Life is, acknowledging we’re all going to leave this place someday, what would you like to be your legacy? What would you like people to remember you for? We hope to be remembered for creating music that resonates on a deep emotional level, something that people can connect with in a meaningful way. Beyond just the music, we want our legacy to be about pushing boundaries, taking risks, and inspiring others to find their own creative voice. Life is indeed fragile, and we want our work to remind people to live passionately, dream big, and never be afraid to pursue the extraordinary. Final Words Thank you so much Lydgen and Seth for providing such sensitive, profound answers. What I get from the experience of chatting with them is that they are a true reflection of their music. If you listen to their tracks, they always have this emotional nature to them, and that kind and warm personality is an exact mirror of who they are in real life. Which is just so wholesome to acknowledge. You heard it here first! If you’re going to be in Amsterdam, North America, or — for some reason — Antarctica, you can catch their music live on tour! Also, make sure to check the WeR1 App, right here. And be sure to follow our page to stay up to date on the latest news and views regarding our beloved Dance music industry.

KDrew is back with "Say What You Wanna," an explosive yet haunting dance anthem that dares you to speak up in a world that's stopped listening. It's the third new single in as many months for KDrew after releasing "Where Do We Go?" and "Hysteria," a pair of stunning melodic bass tracks. He's gone the house route this time around, stunning with an electro arrangement that grabs you by the throat and forces you to confront the chaos within its bars. As distorted synths wail and four-on-the-floor kicks hammer, KDrew's tortured vocals paint a picture of a mind teetering on the edge. His voice, a raw nerve exposed, howls into the void atop his typically cascading production. A frantic mantra for a generation caught in the crosshairs of instant gratification and existential dread, the lyrics drip with angst and explore a world where salvation comes at the price of submission. "Hurry up, it's never been more obvious," he urges atop a heady bassline. "Deceivers, fall victim to the lobbyist," he then belts. Listen to "Say What You Wanna" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

We’ve got yet another killer track for you to enjoy this weekend. Toolroom never disappoints. Mark Knight’s imprint has become a leader of the House and Tech House sounds for decades, often trailblazing and shaping the core elements of the funkier and groovier corners of Dance music for years to come. That’s why we’re excited to share the news: Spanish icon Crusy has just landed yet another signing on the label. And it’s quite the monstrous one. Mikel Crusy, a rising star in the Tech House scene, has had a great skyrocketing couple of years lately. Originating from Madrid, Crusy embarked on his musical journey at just 15, with his music getting to the ears of renowned artists. In recent years, he’s become a prominent face in the scene, rocking a couple of chart toppers, and a good handful of sonic firestarters. ‘Hey Girls, B-Boys’ His latest tune, ‘Hey Girls, B-Boys‘, is a nod to the past, with a clever and refreshing touch. Machine-programmed, dry drums are all it took for Crusy to craft a banger, but he went one step further. Two, actually. Firstly, he made a boomy saw bassline the core of the melodic elements. And secondly, he used a sample known by many. The Chemical Brothers revolutionised the industry with their ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl‘ track, and that vocal was embedded forever in the collective mind of EDM. Well, guess then why Crusy created not only an incredible masterpiece but also a very memorable one? Sing along to the lyrics wherever you are, and whenever you please. Here we go!

The idea for the track first came to us watching a sunset in Bali“. “it was love at first sight. We found the right harmony between the parts with Parisi in New York, then continued to work on it throughout run-ins at parties across the world, from Ultra to Tomorrowland, Mykonos to Ibiza, where it became a bit of a closing record for our NEO Nights at Amnesia. It’s been great to see it grow and evolve, each time it’s been an opportunity to refine, revise and give it the shape it deserves.” A NEO 2024 2024 has marked a triumphant return of Mathame’s shared artistic vision.

Out today is GRAMMY award-winning, multi-platinum artist Zedd‘s third studio album, the first in nearly a decade, entitled Telos. A 10-track masterwork that combines his classically trained roots with the singular Dance-Pop sound that underpins his incredible career. Zedd is joined by a star-studded and diverse cast of collaborators on Telos, including Rock monoliths John Mayer and Muse, Alt-Pop stars Remi Wolf, Dora Jar, and Bea Miller, modern Irish Folk virtuosos the olllam, and the iconic voice of the late, great Jeff Buckley. Previously released singles, including ‘Lucky‘ with Remi Wolf and ‘Out of Time‘ with Bea Miller both appear on the album, as well as eight additional unreleased tracks. Regarding the album’s creation, including the Greek title, Zedd said: “Telos has multiple meanings, one of them being ‘accomplishment’ or ‘completion of human art’“. “I’ve always dreamed of creating an album that, 30 years on, I can look back and be incredibly proud of. That will be just as amazing then as it is right now, because it’s not based on trends or sound design that might fall off — it’s based on music, just like the albums that shaped me growing up that I still adore to this day. With Telos, I created something I didn’t think I was capable of — it just took a bit of time to get there.” -Zedd Telos follows Zedd’s second album, True Colors, released almost a decade ago in 2015. True Colors birthed some of the iconic tracks we still cherish today, including ‘I Want You To Know‘ with Selena Gomez and ‘Beautiful Now‘ with Jon Bellion. Of course, we can’t forget about Zedd’s first full-length album, Clarity, in 2011, the title track of which helped catapult the DJ/producer to the stardom he’s achieved today.
