Techno King, Carl Cox, is bringing some excitement to kick off your Tuesday. We already knew that Carl Cox was returning to Ultra Music Festival 2025 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the festival, and we already knew that he was planning something big. Now we’re getting some info on just what he has in store. After Carl Cox brought his Hybrid-Live show to Ultra a few years back, he’s taking it to the next level of ingenuity with his new ‘Evolution’ show. Carl Cox announced his new show called ‘Evolution’ making a debut at Ultra’s Resistance Megastructure in March. Rather than a hybrid live set, this will be a fully live set. There will be no pre-recorded tracks being played like a traditional DJ set. He will be using a combination of hardware and software on stage to create and manipulate sounds live as he performs. It will be something like watching a DJ/producer create a track from the first element, and then adding layer after layer of different sounds until you see a full track created. He says he’s been planning this for a long time and he provided a little preview in his Instagram post. You’ll see a setup that looks like something you might see from Stephan Bodzin or Porter Robinson. Carl Cox frequently talks about how he likes to challenge himself and create the same level of effort that was required back in the days of Vinyl DJing. Needless to say, this takes things to a totally new level and we’re psyched to see it in action! The post Carl Cox Announces Evolution Live Show Coming to Ultra 2025 appeared first on EDMTunes.

With his most recent release “Delta,” Dutch master Jochem Hamerling unequivocally distinguishes himself. He provides a piece that appeals to both the heart and feet with equal eloquence. Beyond its initial dance floor impact, “Delta” – his fourth milestone release on the esteemed Sinners imprint – has importance. Like its geographical designation, the song is a confluence of musical currents where Hamerling’s trademark melodic sensitivities meet the raw intensity of modern progressive trance. Those following his path should not be surprised by this synthesis; after all, three consecutive endorsements from Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance have already verified Hamerling’s capacity to negotiate the fine balance between commercial appeal and creative integrity. “Delta” differentiates itself mostly with architectural accuracy. The song develops like a contemporary Dutch skyscraper: methodical in its basis, audacious in its vision, and arresting in its finished form. Whereas delicate melodies float above like morning mist over Rotterdam’s harbour, the deep, rolling bassline produces a hypnotic undertow. This interaction among aspects highlights Hamerling’s development as a producer; every part supports the entire instead of vying for attention. Living in the La Guarderia of SLAM! radio, Hamerling has grown to have a close awareness of both physically and emotionally what moves a dance floor. This feeling penetrates “Delta,” especially in its exquisite tension and release cycles. Its timing, which falls during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), seems less like chance and more like planned genius; this is music meant to occupy those vast warehouse venues where the future of electronic music is created yearly. Though they clearly point toward the future, the rivers of influence coursing through “Delta” might have echoes of electronic music’s past. And based on this publication, capable hands will be in charge of future. The post Jochem Hamerling lands on Sinners with ‘Delta’ appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

When a robot says it loves Daft Punk, you know the future has arrived. EDM.com has discovered a TikTok video in which Tesla's Optimus bot surprised a group of inquisitive attendees at the company's recent "We Robot" event with its top music pick: Daft Punk. Speaking with the group, the Optimus bot said EDM is its favorite genre before referring to the legendary duo by name. The interaction added a dash of pop culture flair to the high-tech event, where fans had the rare opportunity to interact with Tesla's unreleased technology. The humanoid bot's casual nod to Daft Punk delighted attendees, especially since CEO Elon Musk has championed EDM culture in the past. Watch the full TikTok clip below. View the original article to see embedded media. Tesla's affinity for the genre isn't new, but this latest news out of "We Robot" adds a new twist. Musk has hosted massive EDM-inspired events in the past, such as the "Cyber Rodeo" at Tesla’s Texas Gigafactory and rave-fueled "Giga Fest" in Berlin, where techno became an integral part of the celebration. He has also flirted with part-time music production, releasing his song "Don't Doubt ur Vibe" back in 2020. The "We Robot" event, held at Warner Bros. Discovery studio, was already drawing attention for showcasing Tesla's latest advancements in robotics and autonomous vehicles. However, the Optimus bots stole the show by roaming around the crowd, dancing and even conversing with fans in varying accents. Their introduction hints at Tesla's vision for consumer-ready bots, with Musk predicting a future where these high-tech companions could be within reach for roughly $30,000. Musk in June 2024 claimed that Optimus could enter limited production in 2025. He reportedly expects the bots to be available for households by 2027.

San Francisco's Mission District has a new secret DJ, and it's not spinning decks—it's eavesdropping on every song that drifts through its streets. There’s a musical spy lurking above San Francisco's Mission District: a solar-powered Android phone hidden on a street pole in an undisclosed location, tirelessly listening to every "bop" it catches below. Tracking the sounds of the 415 like a silent music sleuth, the low-budget contraption is operated by an old Android phone rigged with Shazam and logs an endless playlist of everything it hears. The curious invention by Riley Walz is no ordinary gadget. Nicknamed the "Bop Spotter," it’s always on, ready to tag every song played in earshot. So far, the eavesdropping device has identified many electronic anthems crossing into its neighborhood orbit, including "Where Are Ü Now" (by Skrillex, Diplo and Justin Bieber) and "Break Free" (by Zedd and Ariana Grande). You can even track and download the entire playlist to see the music being recorded in real-time. The Bop Spotter's log reveals a genre-blending mix of pop hits, hip-hop throwbacks, reggaeton bangers and dance anthems. With a CSV file downloadable from Walz's website, anyone can tap into the cityscape's sonic diary and imagine they’re walking right through the Mission District's streets. For Walz, the payoff is more than just capturing the next hit. His favorite moment so far has been clocking the Bill Withers classic "Just the Two of Us" at 3am in, presumably, a moment of pure spontaneity. Walz says he drew inspiration from urban tech like the police's ShotSpotter, which is designed to triangulate the location of gunshots in dense areas, but his project has a different mission altogether: tracking the city's organic soundtrack. The Bop Spotter and its covert, nonstop DJing gig cost him around $100, he told 404 Media. "This is culture surveillance. No one notices, no one consents," Walz writes. "But it's not about catching criminals. It's about catching vibes. A constant feed of what’s popping off in real-time." You can find out more about the Bop Spotter and access its full music log here.

Listen to a banging track we recently came across. Some artists excel at their field of expertise: you see them lead the entire corner of their sound and inspire generations with their techniques. But when was the last time you listened to a man who can do a bit of everything, and do so in proper style? We’ve got news for you today. Meet Sporty-O. Sporty-O Sporty-O is a multi-genre producer and vocalist from Atlanta, whose front has been bridging the gap between EDM and Hip-Hop for a long while. During his over ten years of adventures in the industry, he’s had over 100 releases — out of which many became Beatport Top 10s —, including which stands ‘2Nite’, his 2010 work with Felguk, and the official song for EDC. After crushing it at festivals such as EDC itself, but also Ultra, Das Energi, and many others, he’s now teamed up with production duo Lorme & Pedrumz for a larger project: a conjoint album. This LP will be released on November 9th, and to make the wait more easy to digest, they’ve lifted the first single off the body of work. ‘Angelic Psychedelic Relic’ Out of context, the title of this track sounds like a tongue twister, but put into context, it makes perfect sense. You may even surprise yourself singing to the lyrics. ‘Angelic Psychedelic Relic’ is one of the many collaborations you’ll soon get to hear between Sporty-O and Lorme & Pedrumz. A feel-good, easygoing Drum & Bass composition, this track is the optimal candidate to showcase both acts’ style and approach to music production. The tune is truly infectious, with Sporty-O’s vocals nodding to the noughties at the same time that the beat — subtle but effective — carries you onward with swift drums and several layers of ear candy. “For the upcoming LP, both Lorme & Pedrumz and I wanted to demonstrate that any genre of music can be translated into a sub-genre of electronic dance music, and that music is about the energy and experimentation for us.” -Sporty-O.

We’re going back to the golden ages with this one! 2024 has been one great year for Dance music superstar Ferry Corsten. He’s been working and showcasing his upcoming album Connect for an entire year already, slowly unveiling single after single. The theme of the album is, as you might remember from our interview with him, old sounds, old souls, but modern approach to production and some new, sometimes futuristic flair. After tracks that felt truly unreal to have released in 2024 such as ‘Fulfillment‘, his collaboration with Marsh, and ‘Chaos‘, a joint work alongside Silva City, he’s releasing one of the more nostalgic pieces we’ll see in the album. This time, he’s teamed up with Classic Trance quintet SUPERSTRINGS, to deliver their single, ‘Remember‘. ‘Remember’ And remember you will. This track is simply pure, absolute bliss. Detuned saws, gated pads, legato leads, an incredible drum rack, reverse kicks, and many yesteryear goodies come together to create something out of this world, or rather, out of this timeline. Close your eyes and tell me this is not early-stage Gouryella. ‘Remember’ effortlessly transports the genre’s newcomers and loyal fans alike back to the days of old. And that’s what’s so valuable about this piece: it’s not a modern rendition of a Trance classic, for it is a Trance classic by itself. And me, being me, a Classic Trance addict, I have to say I’ve had such a fun year with the whole “old is cool again” wave. Between Ferry, SUPERSTRINGS, Silva City, and Ben Hemsley, Christmas arrived early for yours truly.

Vinyl’s resurgence hit a snag this month as Billboard’s reporting error sent ripples through the music industry. Billboard recently removed its vinyl sales figures from the site, sparking confusion and speculation about the real state of vinyl in the U.S. After Billboard reported a jaw-dropping 33.3% year-over-year decline, many were left questioning if the vinyl revival was finally cooling off. Digital Music News (DMN) launched an investigation, only to find that the vinyl sales picture was murkier than expected. On October 14, 2024, Billboard’s “Market Watch” section showed an alarming drop in vinyl sales. Data from Luminate, the company responsible for tracking music sales, indicated a massive decline that Billboard quickly broadcasted. Just one day later, though, Luminate clarified the figures. The actual sales were up by 6.2%, not down by a third. Billboard corrected the mistake and added a disclaimer to their report, but the damage was done. The error resulted from changes in how Luminate collects data. Traditionally, independent record store sales were estimated based on samples. But starting in early 2024, Luminate implemented a more direct system, tallying actual sales from record shops across the country. This change, though intended to improve accuracy, disrupted year-over-year comparisons. Luminate even acknowledged the difficulty in drawing direct comparisons due to the new system. This reporting shift upset independent record stores, some of which joined the Vinyl Record Manufacturing Association (VRMA) to create their own vinyl sales chart. Meanwhile, Billboard’s updated “Market Watch” page continued to show inflated year-over-year declines, even after the original error was acknowledged. Billboard’s parent company, Penske Media Corporation, has since declined to comment, leaving music lovers and industry insiders waiting for a more stable reporting solution. Notable EDM Albums on Vinyl Despite the reporting mix-up, electronic music continues to thrive on vinyl. Some must-have vinyl releases for EDM fans include: ODESZA – The Last Goodbye Swedish House Mafia – Paradise Again Justice – Justice (aka Cross) Daft Punk – Discovery Porter Robinson – Worlds Flume – Flume Rüfüs du Sol – Bloom This debacle underscores how fragile tracking systems can be—especially when independent record stores, the heart of vinyl culture, feel overlooked. So, while the numbers may be in flux, it looks like the passion for vinyl isn’t going anywhere.

Paradise Blue, the beloved destination festival Excision has called a "headbanger's paradise," will not return in 2025, its organizers announced. Launched by the dubstep superstar's event organizer, Excision Presents, the oceanfront weekender debuted by virtue of a splashy takeover at Cancún's Marriott Resort and all-inclusive Four-Diamond Paradisus Resort back in 2022. It has since become one of the top destination events for fans of bass music, joining the ranks of the company's other fan-favorite festival properties, Lost Lands and Bass Canyon. The fallow year was revealed on Paradise Blue's Instagram page over the weekend. Excision Presents refrained from revealing why, but confirmed the festival will return in 2026. "It's been a great 3 years on the beach!" the company writes. "While we won’t be returning to Cancún this spring, we are working towards bringing Paradise Blue back in 2026, so be sure to sign up for event updates!"

RÜFÜS DU SOL, dance music's de facto architects of tender singalong moments, have sold an astounding 500,000 tickets to their 2025 "Inhale / Exhale World Tour." A touchstone of atmospheric dance music, the illustrious trio is less than two weeks removed from the release of their fifth album, Inhale / Exhale. Spanning 47 shows across four continents, the eponymous tour marks the biggest headlining run of RÜFÜS DU SOL's career, according to a press release shared with EDM.com. From intimate warehouse parties in Sydney to commanding arena-sized crowds, RÜFÜS DU SOL's evolution to barnstorming headlining act mirrors their transformative music—expansive, bold and increasingly universal in scope. Their upcoming sprint feels like a tour de force for a band that's built their reputation on transcendent live experiences. "Touring has always been a way for us to connect with our fans on a deeper level, and seeing this global response to Inhale / Exhale has been moving," the band said in a statement. "We can't wait to share these moments with everyone next year." The majority of concerts are now sold-out. Highlights include a night at SoCal's iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, an "immersive one-night-only performance" at London's Crystal Palace Park and five hometown shows in Australia.

There's nothing sugary about "Ear Candy," the latest collaboration from PEEKABOO and Sully. A masterstroke of deep dubstep, the wobbly track is out now via Wakaan and arrives hotly anticipated after becoming a staple in the DJ sets of both producers throughout 2024. It's a seamless blend of beauty and chaos, both a brain-bender and a body-shaker. "This one always gets some of the craziest crowd reactions whenever we play it live," Sully said of the new single. View the original article to see embedded media. "Ear Candy" is a full-blown showcase for both Sully and PEEKABOO, the latter of whom was named one of EDM.com's best music producers of 2023. It's that signature PEEKABOO wonk, twisted into new shapes and textures by Sully's precise sound design. Balancing filthy bass drops against moments of cinematic grandeur, the track is a masterclass in duality. That contrast between guttural bass and ethereal production creates a whiplash effect that'll have your neck snapped back and your face screwed up in the best way possible. In the break, operatic chants eerily glide through cavernous soundscapes while sweeping strings build tension—but the serenity is short-lived. Sully's and PEEKABOO's inimitable dubstep returns and hits even harder to bring the track home, throwing us back into a wormhole of distorted synths that contort through 808s you can feel in your bones.

The UK’s nightlife scene is in trouble. A staggering 37% of clubs have closed over the past four years, translating to roughly 10 closures per month. This decline is driven by a combination of factors, including rising operational costs, economic pressures, and changing consumer habits. Industry experts warn that without immediate government intervention, the UK could witness the end of an era that has defined generations of music lovers. Michael Kill, CEO of the Nighttime Industries Association (NTIA), has urged the government to provide support to safeguard this part of the UK’s cultural fabric, one which has also left a mark on the rest of the world and its history. The NTIA’s research highlights the impact of rising costs on the industry. Many clubs are struggling to break even, let alone turn a profit. Additionally, changing consumer preferences and the increasing popularity of streaming services have further impacted the revenue streams of nightclubs. “The concern is that as we move towards the budget, the narrative that’s coming out is quite dour….looking at alcohol duty and potentially things like the ban on smoking…all of those things are quite onerous and cost heavy“, Kill says. To adapt to these challenges, some venues are exploring innovative approaches. For instance, by introducing daytime clubbing. However, these creative solutions can only go so far. Either direct monetary intervention, or a sort of ease on restrictions, seems to be the route to preserve the beloved scene in a country which has been in many ways a pioneer of Dance.

Listen to a gigantic track we recently came across. Music evolves, and it changes and it morphs as the years go on. But some styles manage to stay in the collective mind and, even twelve years after their boom, still put a smile on people’s faces. One of those styles is Progressive House, and a case in point has just come out. Meet Brainheart. Brainheart Roei Zoar, known professionally as Brainheart, is a multi-talented musician who seamlessly blends Electronic, Acoustic, and Pop elements into his work. His 2019 debut single, ‘Explore the World’, featuring his sister’s vocals, quickly gained widespread recognition, accumulating millions of streams on Spotify and becoming a viral sensation on Instagram. Brainheart’s music is characterized by its emotional depth and cinematic quality. Whether he’s crafting upbeat tracks or introspective ballads, his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions sets him apart. Double down on the “emotions” bit with his latest release. ‘I Finally Feel Alive’ Brainheart’s most recent work, ‘I Finally Feel Alive’ is a conjoint work with US vocalist Tommy Marra, and it embodies what we love most about yesteryear Progressive House: emotion, guitars, atmospheres, and euphoria. The track merges Brainheart’s unique production style with Marra’s emotive vocal performance, delivering a song that explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the human spirit’s ability to rise through adversity. The melody is something else, as it serves as a walk down memory lane to those festival moments in which most of us who work in the industry today, fell in love with EDM and its ability to gather people together. It is a beautiful song which pays tribute to a beautiful moment in Dance music history, if you will. “[The song is] a perfect alignment of our creative visions. Tommy brought incredible energy and emotion to the song, and together we crafted something that speaks to the challenges and triumphs we all experience.” -Brainheart Listen to Brainheart and Tommy Marra‘s ‘I Finally Feel Alive’, by hitting the ‘Play‘ button on the Spotify player below.

In an era where progressive house music often feels like a fading polaroid, DubVision are clinging to the genre's golden age and reinventing it for today's ravers. They've done it again with "I'll Be There," out now on Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS. There's something almost defiantly old-school about dropping a pure progressive house anthem in 2024, but "I'll Be There" wears its traditionalism like armor. The cynics might call it formulaic, but DubVision consistently remind us why some formulas become classic in the first place. "I'll Be There" delivers another dose of festival fuel, capturing a sound that conjures the romance of crowds dancing and connecting in moments dreamt about for months. The production is vintage DubVision, replete with the kind of soaring synths and festival-ready crescendos that fans of the Grammy-nominated duo continue to covet. Built around a warm refrain ("I'll be there when you are all alone"), the track doesn't so much speak as it does uplift, looping those words until they transform from lyrics into pure emotional texture. Those vocals envelop listeners in a fuzzy loop of promise and comfort, resonating like a pledge from the heart straight to the dancefloor. "I'll Be There" is DubVision's first release since they dropped their debut album, Another World, back in July. Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.

We Are On The Mission Bangkok 2024 set a new standard for electronic music festivals, delivering three thrilling nights of Techmission, Transmission, and Hardmission. Each night brought together a diverse range of world-class artists, from mesmerizing techno debuts to heart-pounding hardstyle, making for an unforgettable experience. With sets that pushed musical boundaries and left the crowd electrified, We Are On The Mission 2024 has solidified itself as one of the most impactful festivals in Southeast Asia. Let’s dive into the highlights of each night and relive the magic that defined this year’s event. Techmission:Techmission kicked off the weekend with an energy-packed start, featuring the highly anticipated Bangkok debuts of techno powerhouses Lilly Palmer, Trym, and I Hate Models. Lilly Palmer opened the night with a captivating performance, her hypnotic beats driving the crowd into a state of bliss. As she dropped her crowd-favorite track ‘Hype Boy’, the atmosphere became electric, and festival-goers were swept up in a wave of pulsating rhythms that showcased her signature sound. Trym followed up with a set that perfectly balanced fast-paced techno with atmospheric moments, keeping the audience fully engaged. His relentless beats created an intense energy, showing why he’s a rising star in the global techno scene. But it was I Hate Models who took the night to its peak. As the headliner, I Hate Models delivered a dark, industrial set that was full of raw emotion and gritty soundscapes. The crowd was completely immersed in the powerful, pulsating beats, and the deep connection between the music and the audience made for a mesmerizing experience. Closing Techmission with a powerful set, I Hate Models ensured that this night would be remembered as a groundbreaking moment for Bangkok’s techno scene. Transmission:Transmission took the festival into a realm of euphoric highs and trance-fueled energy. Markus Schulz’s surprise Rabbit Hole set kicked off the night, drawing the crowd into a deep and melodic journey. His progressive trance rhythms created a perfect buildup, preparing the audience for the night’s intense moments. Next, AA Meeting—comprising John Askew and Activa—took the stage and brought a new level of intensity to the crowd. Their set was a masterclass in uplifting trance, with driving beats and seamless transitions that had the entire venue moving in unison. The crowd was kept on their toes as the energy built up for Key 4050, the dynamic duo of Bryan Kearney and John O’Callaghan. Their pounding beats and euphoric melodies elevated the vibe even further, creating one of the night’s most memorable sets. Ben Nicky then took over, bringing his signature “Emotional Havoc” set to Bangkok. Known for balancing intense drops with melodic, emotionally charged moments, Ben Nicky once again captivated the Thai crowd with his unique blend of energy and emotion. The highlight of the night came with Maddix, whose set blended elements of trance, techno, and rave, delivering a jaw-dropping performance that kept everyone dancing until the early hours. His ability to fuse genres created a perfect finale for Transmission, leaving the crowd exhilarated and ready for the next day. Hardmission:Hardmission brought the weekend to its most intense and hardest night, where the energy never dipped for a second. Villain, the iconic voice of hardstyle, hyped the crowd from start to finish, keeping everyone engaged with his signature stage presence and playful interactions. The night started with DJ Isaac delivering a dynamic set, blending euphoric melodies with hard-hitting kicks that had the crowd jumping from the very first beat. Next up was DBSTF, who turned up the intensity even further. Their set was filled with explosive tracks that pushed the crowd to their limits, maintaining the raw energy that defined Hardmission. As the night continued, the atmosphere only grew more electric with back-to-back sets from Sickmode and D-Sturb. Their relentless pace and fierce drops had the crowd going full throttle, delivering one of the most powerful performances of the night.

Marian Goodell, CEO of the Burning Man festival, recently turned to socials to ask for donations to help fund future editions of the gathering. This, after this year’s results, which hold the brand at a critical “inflection point”. Goodell shared in a recent blog post, “We are at an inflection point as a nonprofit. On the one hand, global interest is at an all-time high, and the world needs Burning Man more than ever. On the other hand, we are well past the point where ticket revenues from Black Rock City are able to support our year-round cultural work“. A large part of the crisis has its roots in the higher-priced tickets for this year’s Burning Man not selling the numbers they expected. “This $5.7M shortfall, combined with a $3M dip in receipts from main-sale tickets and vehicle passes, means that our year-end charitable donation target has essentially doubled to nearly $20M. This needs to happen before 2025 ticket sales and our annual revenue cycle begins in January.“ Finally, Goodell asked for a monthly $20 donation from those who are willing to keep the festival afloat, by saying: “The world needs what we offer now more than ever. For us to continue to be this force for good, convening people in person, inspiring creativity and innovation, and storytelling in ways that spark change, we need your help to raise the funds needed to preserve Black Rock City as the vibrant heart of Burning Man, and to protect the culture with which the event is intertwined“.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, October 25th, 2024 – OGUZ is releasing the second full length release of his career. Following hot on the heels of his debut album in August and his very own solo show at Amsterdam Dance Event 2024 he’s reached an all-time career high with no stopping in sight. After an epic summer, OGUZ is poised to elevate the energy even further with his upcoming mixtape, DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1. This 11 track full length mixtape is set to be yet another major milestone in OGUZ’s flourishing career. Released from his very own label, 808 STUDIOS, DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1 continues OGUZ’s rare form and everflowing creative outlet that has seen him release numerous EP’s and his debut album all in the last 18 months. With ‘DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1’, OGUZ ventures into new musical realms, delving more into the hard groove sound that has become all the more dominant in his sets as of late. Focusing on funky, rolling basslines and percussion. Featuring a combination of solo productions and collaborations with some of the biggest names in Techno today, including Marcel Fengler, Deborah De Luca, 6EJOU and many more. Opening up the record is ‘DAM SQUARE DANCE ANTHEM’, a high tempo, upbeat techno pumper with an explosive melody that champions the young talent’s new sonic direction. A relentless pace and weighted drums are present as a vocal sample welcomes you into his simulation. ‘TOXIC VS MAD DOG’ follows next, a more dancefloor focused composition with darker tones from the outset. With crunching kick drums and euphoric melodic tones providing an entrancing juxtaposition. ‘808 STUDIO TOOL VS DANCER’ comes out of the blocks at a blistering pace. Doing exactly what the name suggests, this stripped back DJ tool is a mid-set, heads down roller with immense energy. With very few frills and decorative melodies, this no nonsense track sees OGUZ collaborate with close friend Dancer for the first time. ‘SIMULATION LV.5 VS MAD DOG’ is the second collaborative track with the talented Italian DJ and producer. Their second effort brings with ethereal synth keys that dance effortlessly around the heaving kick drum. ‘DEVIL NEVER LEAVES VS AIDA ARKO’ is a pounding, skittish techno driver. Fearless and unapologetic, the song gives brief moments of respite before returning to the powerhouse sounds. ‘KING OF TOMORROW VS MARCEL FENGLER VS STEYA’, featuring a sample of the 2002 classic, Love Story by Layo & Bushwacka! This collaboration has a definitive classic Techno style to it. A far cry from the enormous drums and sonic elements. Understated but effective. ‘COMPRESS2DRUMRACK3 VS RUIZ OSC1 VS DANCER’ is next up with an eardrum bursting collaboration that sees Dancer return along with Colombian born but Italian based RUIZ OSC1. Highly dynamic and fully formed, this is a hectic, high energy contribution for this full length release. ‘POSESSED VS DEBORAH DE LUCA’ an entrancing melody of rave stabs is overtaken by an overwhelming breakdown of kick drums and chaos. ‘PARAMOGUZ VS PARAMOD’. Joining forces with Rotterdam’s Paramod for their first collaborative release. High energy, dancefloor focussed sounds with powerful percussion. A powerful duo that we will no doubt see again in the future. ‘VAMPIRE EMPIRE VS 6EJOU’ longtime friend and collaborator, 6EJOU has long been a member of the 808 STUDIOS family. Vampire Empire is raw and unbridled with intense energy that is present from the outset. ‘M3SS VS SPILO VS NOBODY94’ closes out the record and brings this mixtape to a close. Ecstasy filled, an angelic vocal sample rambles throughout as the rapid synth tones sound around it.
