Cassian Delivers Scorching New EP ‘Dun Dun’ for Afterlife
Melodic Techno fans will really like this one. Cassian drops a double-header for his full debut on Afterlife. The ‘Dun Dun’ EP is what we have waiting for from the Australian GRAMMY-winning DJ. Do You Deserve My ‘Dun Dun’? Following his collaborative work with Anyma, and appearances at Afterlife events worldwide, Cassian unveils his first full release on the label. ‘Dun Dun’ merges an uplifting melody with an undulating low end that pushes the track forward, supporting the vocal clip. The track reminds us of Massano‘s stand out track ‘Drowning’, in the best way possible. The track has a powerful eeriness that accompanies the melodies. ‘Memento’ is a bright, emotive composition with layered vocals producing a choir-esque effect and driving energy at its core. Both tracks have gathered massive support from industry giants including Tale of Us, Nora en Pure, Miss Monique, and Kevin de Vries. What’s next for Cassian? After multiple Afterlife appeareances, incredible remixes including John Summit & Hayla’s ‘Shiver’ (Cassian remix), and Rüfüs Du Sol’s Alive (Cassian Remix) we can expect nothing but greatness. Perhaps a surprise guest appeareance at the Sphere in Las Vegas for Anyma’s New Years shows? The world is an Australian oyster, and Cassian is all about it. The LA resident is touring the Americas and touching base in Chicago, Salt Lake City, and Miami. He will also perform in Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil. Aussie’s will receive the artist during his Australian tour as well. We will hold this EP like a keepsake, but in the meantime, don’t you mess with my ‘Dun Dun’: The post Cassian Delivers Scorching New EP ‘Dun Dun’ for Afterlife appeared first on EDMTunes.

Currently supported by the likes of Diplo, Oliver Heldens, Afrojack, and Joel Corry, “Rave Day (Happy)” perfectly captures the high-energy excitement that many festival enthusiasts crave, transforming any moment into an impromptu dance party and inviting everyone, regardless of age, to hit the dancefloor.

I wanted ‘Rave Day (Happy)’ to be nostalgic and current at the same time,” Wuki says. With a rich history in diverse musical genres and an unwavering passion for originality, Wuki consistently delivers groundbreaking tracks that push boundaries. His ‘Beats I Can’t Release’ segments have become a viral sensation, amassing a highly engaged fanbase of over 1.5 million across social media. “Sunshine (My Girl)” has garnered over 80 million streams and received strong support from industry giants like FISHER, Tiësto, Oliver Heldens, Armin Van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Chris Lake, and more. Wuki’s ability to seamlessly blend genres and connect with major audiences has solidified his status as an influential figure in the dance music community. While Wuki has an undeniable talent for remixes and flips, “Rave Day (Happy)” marks his first original track on Thrive Music. Dedicated to his fans who show up bright-eyed and ready to party at every one of his shows, the song is a sonic simulation for a rave day, from pre-festival jitters to the euphoric arrival to the venue. Its contagious energy resonates not only with festival-goers but with anyone seeking an instant serotonin boost. If you’re looking for a good time, you’ll find it in the rolling basslines of “Rave Day (Happy).” Wuki On Tour Aug 9 – London, UK – Night Tales Loft Aug 17 – Reno, NV, US – Tacos & Tequila Festival Aug 18 – Buffalo, NY, US – Buffalo RiverWorks Aug 22 – Fort Lauderdale, FL, US – Revolution Live Aug 23 – Queens, NY, US – The Summer Club Aug 24 – Pontiac, MI, US – Elektricity Aug 30 – Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, Canada – Wicked Woods Music Festival Sep 14 – San Bernardino, CA, US – Nocturnal Wonderland Sep 28 – Portland, OR, US – 45 East The post Wuki – Rave Day appeared first on EDMTunes.

BLOND:ISH and Stevie Appleton Don't Sweat the Tough Times in New Single, "Never Walk Alone"
Buoyed by an uplifting blend of indie-dance and pop, BLOND:ISH's new single offers a heartfelt message of unity and support. In a world overshadowed by uncertainty, BLOND:ISH has delivered a carefree collaboration alongside Stevie Appleton titled "Never Walk Alone." Out now on Insomniac Records, the track opens with bright, twangy strings that evoke an immediate sense of lightheartedness and freedom. Meanwhile, Appleton’s vocals, layered with heartfelt lyrics about standing by one another through thick and thin, weave a narrative of companionship and resilience. The song's build is characterized by a swelling chorus of uplifting synths before culminating in a minimalist drop where Appleton's clean falsettos take the spotlight. He brings a fitting sense of warmth and depth to "Never Walk Alone," making it a track that fans of BLOND:ISH are likely to find particularly comforting. As she continues her mission to foster unity through her music and initiatives like Bye Bye Plastic, BLOND:ISH remains a fierce advocate for change within the music industry. Her upcoming performances, from Circoloco in Ibiza to III Points in Miami, promise to be infused with the same spirit of connection and community that "Never Walk Alone” embodies.

A.M.C Drops “Run!” Ahead of Upcoming Album Release
A.M.C drops explosive new single “Run!” ahead of his upcoming lbum Release Hot off the back of his killer performance at this year’s Let It Roll, A.M.C, the maestro of four-deck performance announces his latest single, “Run!.” Released on Drum&BassArena, this high-energy track marks the first glimpse into A.M.C’s forthcoming album, “X12.” “Run!” epitomises A.M.C’s unique style, seamlessly fusing the deep roots of UK jungle with futuristic sonic elements. A.M.C’s new LP is set to follow in the illustrious footsteps of his critically acclaimed albums “VOID” (2021) and “ENERGY” (2019). Having captivated audiences worldwide, A.M.C’s reputation as a leading force in the drum and bass scene is undisputed. His new audio-visual show ‘Adrenaline’ has set new standards, with sold-out performances at iconic venues across the globe further cementing his standing as a trailblazer in the genre. Reflecting on his upcoming album, A.M.C shared: “I’m excited to announce that “X12”, my new album, is coming soon. This project is a culmination of my journey as a DJ and producer, crafting tracks specifically for my sets. Over the past few years, I’ve created tons of ‘dubs’—over 30 in total. From this collection, I’ve carefully selected the twelve tracks that have resonated the most. Each track on “X12” has been road-tested, fine-tuned, and honed based on live reactions and the incredible feedback from my fans. These are the tracks that have lit up dance floors, sparked joy, and brought energy to my sets. The album includes those standout moments that I’ve seen develop into fan favourites, which is why I’m so excited to release them to you. The name “X12” started as a simple, throwaway title, but it has since grown to represent the essence of this project – it’s a symbol. Each track is a testament to the energy, passion, and connection I feel with you lot. Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait for you to experience “X12” and feel the energy that has inspired every beat, bassline, and melody. Peace – Alex.” With “Run!” setting the stage, anticipation for “X12” is building.

MaRLo uneveils new alias ‘V3NOM’ with lead single ‘Open Your Eyes’
MaRLo takes his sound in a bold new direction with the unveiling of his alter ego: V3NOM. Debuting on Timmy Trumpet’s SINPHONY label, “Open Your Eyes” marks the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter for the Dutch-born, Australian-raised artist. While MaRLo has long been celebrated for his signature high-energy performances and chart-topping hits, V3NOM represents a darker, more intense evolution of his sonic identity. V3NOM is the culmination of his journey from his original sound through his TECH ENERGY phase, now emerging as a harder, more aggressive sonic project. This new alias dives headfirst into harder dance music styles, delivering bone-crushing kicks and epic, anthemic melodies that still carry MaRLo’s unmistakable touch. “Open Your Eyes” showcases this darker shift, seamlessly blending elements of psy-trance, hardstyle, and big-room into a festival-ready powerhouse. With its intense atmosphere, rave-fueled synths, and earth-shaking drops, the track exudes raw, unbridled energy designed to ignite dancefloors and mainstages alike.

Lucas & Steve return on Tomorrowland Music with ‘Are You Ready’
We have left the two masterminds on the Library stage at Tomorrowland 2024 but, Lucas & Steve are back on the festival’s label with Are You Ready. Yes, you should be ready because the tune is a festival anthem. We heard it live at Tomorrowland while the duo was playing and we can guarantee you it made people move. Dropped in the middle of the set, Are You Ready shake things up on the dancefloor. Was it the vocal by English Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Laura White? Was it because of the infected beats and floor filler harmonies? One thing is sure, the tune delivered what it promised. Lucas & Steve Are You Ready is a catchy and uplifting house anthem. It combines prominent and powerful voices with masterful and uplifting melodies. It’s a quick-moving floor filler that gets right to work. The tune is out now on Tomorrowland Music, the festival’s flagship imprint. The duo played Tomorrowland Belgium this year at the Library stage. We were there and the set was stunning with the two playing old classics and brand new music including an ID around minutes 40, put together with The Sound Of Violence (Acappella). Lucas & Steve (check their 2020 album) Are You Ready is out now on Tomorrowland Music. The post Lucas & Steve return on Tomorrowland Music with ‘Are You Ready’ appeared first on The Groove Cartel.
