As her emotions, long frozen, were suddenly released, she realized how much she’d been holding back.

With a forward-thinking approach and an ever-deepening influence in the drum and bass scene, Erotic Cafe returns with his debut album In The Midst Of Bias, a release that promises to challenge conventions and push sonic boundaries. Known for his genre-blending sound that fuses intricate atmospherics with gritty undertones, Erotic Cafe’s newest work demonstrates a flair for the unexpected. From subtle, shadowy synth layers to disjointed beats, he has a way of weaving a story that’s as emotive as it is dancefloor-ready. To celebrate the release, we’ve invited Erotic Cafe to take us on a journey through the tracks that have inspired him – songs that break the mold and dive into the atypical corners of drum and bass. In this exclusive guest chart, Erotic Cafe shares ten tracks that embody the spirit of boundary-pushing experimentation, exploring realms of drum and bass that often go unnoticed. From under-the-radar gems to iconic pieces that rewrite the rulebook, these tracks represent the kind of bold, evocative style that’s defined Erotic Cafe’s own path in the genre. Prepare to uncover a different side of drum and bass as we delve into his personal selection – a perfect reflection of the unique sound he’s crafted on his latest release. Listen to In The Midst Of Bias Quartz – Cosmic Horror – R&S Records This track, but also his other tracks, left me without words as soon as I listened to it for the first time. I was amazed by the amount of rhythmic innovation and hybrid sounds contained in this track. It can still be defined as drum and bass, but the pattern is not typical at all. That’s the kind of innovation I am looking for when I find inspiration. I love the intricate and mesmerising rhythms and the high tension built by the background atmospheres. It excites me a lot. Heritage – The Revelation (Fiesta Soundsystem Remix) – Scuffed Recordings I find this to be the perfect blend of old-school drum and bass, made of typical breakbeat sounds, and the Aphex Twin glitching techniques. It’s so raw, but also intelligent. It is cruel but deeply programmed. It is the anger of the nerds translated into jungle madness for the dance floor. Simple Technique – Cold Steppin (Ulterior Motive Remix) – Cyberfunk This track really just works every time I play it. Its dark sounds and atmospheres, the minimalistic but funky drum pattern and the dry bassline are perfect for double drops. This perfect balance of sounds blows me away. I could listen to this tune forever and never get tired. RUINNA – Drill Power – NËU Music This is pure madness. I feel so connected with RUINNA in terms of stylistic tastes, that’s why I had to ask him to collaborate on a song together and it came out incredibly crazy. “Drill Power” is one of the tracks that I can’t stop playing in my DJ sets, and every time that I do that, people completely lose their minds. It’s rhythm and sound design at the maximum power. Dj Trace, HLZ – Parasite – Metalheadz I tend to be complex, to produce and to like complex things but, as everyone knows the most effective things are the most simple. That is the case here. I really dig all the parts that make this song, from the raw drum sounds (I love the snare sound) to the dirty bassline that simply works forever and ever. It brings back the real good old vibe of the genre that is getting lost, but implementing the sound pressure that we need nowadays. gyrofield – Calico (Lethargic Mix) – VISION As soon as she releases something new, I can’t wait to hear what she comes up with. I have been listening to her music for years, and it’s very exciting to see her journey and sonic evolution. She’s blending techno with drum & bass, but in a different way. Most of the time when we use these two words together, we expect 4×4 tracks with drum and bass sounds, but that’s not the case. gyrofield is taking the entire techno spectrum (that’s not just made of 4×4 kicks) and forcing it into drum and bass, so it’s basically techno injected with D&B patterns, breakbeats, and audio techniques but analogue sounds. That’s the kind of innovation I love. Listen to the music from new points of view. dBridge – Wonder Where – Nonplus Records It’s hard for me to describe what dBridge’s music provokes inside me. It’s always pushing buttons that are so hidden in the depths of my soul. This one, in particular, makes me feel melancholic for no precise reason. It’s like when you look at old pictures of you from years ago, remembering the moments that made you as you are today, feeling again the same emotions, thinking that things change and nothing comes back. But really, I don’t know why. I love music because it’s rational but can arouse emotions that doesn’t follow any logic. Kavari – Attachment Style – Bandcamp I love distortion, and I tend to put myself in tough situations. That’s why I chose this song. What intrigues me a lot is to play this track and see the uncertainty on the faces of the people on the dance floor. Music exploration is not the safest decision to take, but I like to see any kind of reaction, and risky choices don’t go unnoticed. Kavari is offering a free rush of adrenaline to everyone. Oxius – Vardlokk (Censored The Audio & JuLo Remix) – Incurzion Audio This is the kind of track that’s hard to define as D&B, exactly the same kind of tracks that create feelings that are missing from the standardised schemes that are being used today. That is innovation. Something that can be achieved only with the pure intent of finding new alternatives. It is not dependent on plugins or technological innovations that are pushing the boundaries of sound design, but it’s all about using the head to think and translate ideas into something that hasn’t been tested yet. Current Value – The Field – MachineCode Recordings Current Value is one of my favourite artists. I am still discovering his music from the past and I keep adding it to my collection because it fits so well what I am looking for today. The first time I listened to “The Field” I was driving my car in the countryside, going back home, and I gradually shifted into another dimension. This song completely abducted me and I kept focused on the progression of the sounds for its entire 12-minute length. I realised just some days after that it was that long. It’s a wall made of hypnotic fast-paced sounds that is impossible to climb. Embrace it and you will be fine. Listen To Erotic Cafe’s Lastest Release Here Instagram / Soundcloud / Spotify

Patricia Zavala has officially launched her music career with the release of ‘Pop The Low,’ an exciting collaboration with well-known artists Aura, Emanuele Esposito, and Gianni Romano. The track merges their unique talents to deliver a vibrant afro house anthem that invites listeners to escape to a tropical paradise, fueled by irresistible beats and captivating melodies. ‘Pop The Low’ stands out with its blend of English and Spanish lyrics, creating a culturally rich listening experience.

Up to 24 independent music venues in the UK are to receive groundbreaking training to tackle sexual violence and harassment as part of a large scale rollout by national NTE initiative Safer Dance. Expert trainers and speakers from specialist music industry and charity bodies will deliver the pilot – initially taking place in the West Midlands – via a series of awareness days for staff from grassroots live music operations. The programme has been designed to coincide with the arrival of new ‘Duty To Prevent’ legislation under the Worker Protection Act 2023 which requires all employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace from Thursday 24 October 2024. Music venues from across the central region, including members of the Music Venue Alliance, will participate in a series of half day workshops throughout November and December 2024. Workers will be trained in identifying, preventing and tackling unwanted sexual behaviour amongst music fans, colleague, and contractors during 120 hours of sessions on sexual harassment policy and culture – led by Michelle Diaz from specialist charity RSVP and artist manager Frances Barber Shillito. Frances Barber Shillito is a passionate advocate and leading voice in the fight against sexual assault and women’s safety within the music and entertainment industries. With a career dedicated to raising awareness and driving change, Frances has become a prominent figure in promoting safe and respectful environments for artists, performers, and industry professionals. Frances Barber Shillito, co-owner of NWN Management, said: “I’m really looking forward to working with Jack and Sam on this project. It’s a subject I’m very passionate about, and I’m honoured that I can be at the forefront of it all with the Safer Dance team. “I’ve really enjoyed taking the time to write, develop and put together the material for the training courses, and I’m very excited to get out there and deliver the programme.” A screening of a new short film When The Music Ends – produced by activist and Safer Dance ambassador DJ Rebekah in association with Beatport – will also form part of the workshop. The dance music producer and DJ, a Birmingham native, has been instrumental in creating awareness for the #MeToo movement in music, specifically with #FORTHEMUSIC, a campaign against sexual harassment and assault, in the club scene. Safer Dance was developed by co-founders Sam Hennerley and Jack Young in 2019 to address concerns around the safety in music and NTE venues by providing an audit model, range of resources and framework for upskilling employers and employees. Sam Hennerley, co-founder of Safer Dance, said: “We’re committed to equipping venues with the necessary tools, knowledge, and confidence to tackle this societal issue effectively. “We believe in approaching this issue with dignity, compassion, and leadership. “Our mission is to create a safer environment for everyone, fostering a culture where safety measures, policies and prevention methods are implemented swiftly and efficiently; with the well-being of our industry at the forefront. ”We’re keen to hear from regional and national partners interested in exploring the Safer Dance model in other parts of the UK, particularly as a collaborative means of instilling more confidence in our NTE.” Major UK venue operators including fabric London and Birmingham-based national arena operator The NEC Group have backed Safer Dance, driving the team to take learnings from the Midlands initiative across the country. Project partners RSVP provide counselling and advocacy support to those subjected to sexual violence, abuse and exploitation. Outcomes of the workshops hosted by Birmingham City University’s Music Business degree course – which Safer Dance co-founder Sam graduated from in 2019 – also include a better shared understanding amongst participants of how to identify, prevent, and tackle intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive behaviour. Data from the 2022 UK census suggests around 17% of the UK population have experienced sexual abuse since the age of 16, whilst a recent NUS study stated that 1 in 5 British students, primarily women, experience unwanted sexual behaviour. In recent years, high media interest around gaps in risk management and harm reduction provision in the NTE has negatively impacted the reputation of the nightlife sector, leading to the formation of Safer Dance and other initiatives. The project supports wider efforts across the country to increase audience engagement and confidence with live music venues and clubs, amidst a challenging climate for NTE and grassroots live music operators. Jack Young, co-founder of the Safer Dance initiative, said: “Safer Dance was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves to enjoy nightlife without fear of harassment. “By working hand-in-hand with venues, we’re creating lasting solutions that prioritise safety, accountability, and respect. “Our mission is to future-proof the night-time economy, ensuring that every space is welcoming and secure today and in the future.” The Safer Dance West Midlands pilot funding partners include the Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund, the Heart of England Community Foundation, and West Midlands Combined Authority.

What if you could dance all night, connect deeply with others and wake up feeling better than ever? A new wave of wellness-focused dance parties is proving you can. As the electronic dance music scene continues to be stereotyped by wild raves and an inextricable link to substance use, more artists now shifting their focus toward wellness. While some major DJs like Kaskade, ILLENIUM and Chris Lake have chosen a sober lifestyle, others are incorporating wellness practices to find balance. Chart-topping dance music acts like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Diplo, Felix Jaehn and Steve Aoki consistently incorporate wellness routines that prioritize their mental and physical health to avoid burnout. This cultural shift is becoming more prevalent within the fan community as well. Wellness-focused dance collectives are emerging and providing alcohol-free, high-energy spaces where people can connect on a deeper level. With the theme of connection at their bedrock, these collectives curate alcohol-free spaces at the intersection of dance music and mindfulness. We spoke with three, Daybreaker, Superbloom and The Oracle Project, who are at the forefront of this movement. A new kind of partyDaybreaker, a pioneer in the wellness rave scene, hosts morning dance parties that begin with yoga and flow into high-energy dancing before concluding with meditation. Similarly, Superbloom promotes community through free- and donation-based classes in parks and beaches, blending lively house music with a focus on wellness. The team behind The Oracle Project, a more recent group, curates reflective experiences that incorporate mindfulness practices followed by music and dancing. Organizers also provide conversation cards to foster meaningful interactions. The shift from partying to wellnessMost of the individuals behind these collectives have personal stories driving them to innovate the movement. Lauren Brenc, founder of The Oracle Project, says her own experiences in nightlife shaped her decision to move away from alcohol. Having once worked as a bartender, she eventually realized she could no longer sustain that lifestyle. "There was a part of me that didn’t want to give up the fun and excitement of going out," Brenc explains. "But I didn’t want it to revolve around something that was making me sick and wasn’t fueling deep connection." Andre Herd of Daybreaker also saw a disconnect between his own values and the traditional nightlife scene in which he worked. As someone who has managed artists and worked in the music industry, Herd had seen how prevalent alcohol was at events. When he began working at Daybreaker in his early 20s, the role was a revelation. "When I was younger, I used to go out a lot and found myself drinking at every party or social event, just to feel like I could have a good time," recalls Herd, who said he eventually started working with Daybreaker and gave up alcohol altogether. "It was so aligned with who I am at my core. It gave me the space to let loose without needing alcohol. In 2014, there weren’t many events like it, and Daybreaker really started a trend." View the original article to see embedded media. Courtney Miller and Brandon Darnell, co-founders of Superbloom, were deeply immersed in wellness long before launching their collective. The former, a lifelong athlete, found synergy with the latter's love of house music, and together they co-founded Superbloom to share their passion for health and music with their communities. A deeper fulfillmentWhat makes these events stand out is the deeper sense of fulfillment they offer. For Superbloom, the focus is on creating spaces where people can cultivate relationships—both with themselves and others—in "vibrant dancefloors and areas where people can get comfortable and sit down and relax," according to Darnell. "It creates this really conducive environment for self-expression and for authentic and deep connection," she says. View the original article to see embedded media. At The Oracle Project’s events, Brenc sees attendees making profound, lasting bonds. "I hear so many stories of people falling in love, starting businesses together, or becoming close friends very quickly," she says. "The connections formed are so genuine." Herd agrees, noting that the absence of alcohol paves the way for a more satisfying life free from the hangovers, anxiety and malaise that often follow a night of drinking, leaving you feeling energized and clear-minded instead. "Some of the wildest parties I’ve been to were Daybreaker events," he gushes. "When people are in a space where they feel no pressure to drink or act a certain way, they can truly let loose. Unlike traditional parties where substances are used to relax, Daybreaker proves that people can reach the same high naturally." Mindfulness and intention-settingThe crux of these collectives and their events is mindfulness. Brenc incorporates cacao circles before dancing to help set the tone at The Oracle Project’s events. "When we sit in a circle to set our intentions, it creates a sacred moment," she explains. "It allows everyone to connect with themselves and each other before we let loose on the dancefloor." Daybreaker also incorporates mindfulness as a key element of its events, beginning with yoga and ending with moments of reflection and joy. Herd says the infrastructure of the organization's events places "huggers" at the door to greet guests with a hug and set a joyful tone. Superbloom takes a similar approach, blending music and movement into a cohesive experience with intention. "Setting an intention is like sharing a dream," says Miller. "It opens up the space, removes barriers, and allows people to come together more deeply from the start." Darnell adds that "it's a way for everyone to feel seen and heard right from the start, and from there, people just naturally open up, and the entire event becomes more immersive and meaningful." View the original article to see embedded media. Pushing past discomfortDespite the growing popularity of wellness-focused dance parties, some are still hesitant to step outside their comfort zone and try something new. But Herd, Brenc and the co-founders of Superbloom all agree that the experience is worth it. Darnell of Superbloom emphasized how sober dance parties can be likened to fitness for authentic expression. In a similar way, alcohol-free dance parties can feel intimidating at first, just like stepping into a gym. "It might be intimidating or scary to go into the space and it might take a little while to settle in, but once you do, what you get is a stronger, more authentic expression of yourself," Darnell explains. That approach, he says, has enabled him to speak confidently in front of large crowds, dance without inhibition and have fun without the next-day regrets. View the original article to see embedded media. Herd also paints a picture of Daybreaker's events as welcoming, low-pressure spaces. "There’s no expectation to dance or act a certain way. You can just enjoy the vibe, sip coffee, or let loose on the dance floor without any pressure," he said. Brenc encouraged anyone who is hesitant to attend to think of it like any other time they’ve pushed past discomfort in life. "Think of the times in your life where you stepped out of your comfort zone—it’s always worth it," she said. "These events are safe places where you’ll meet wonderful people." The future of wellness danceWhether you're dancing at Daybreaker’s sunrise yoga parties, connecting through mindfulness at Superbloom’s wellness events or finding deep conversations at The Oracle Project, there's no question the wellness-focused dance scene could reshape the collective perspective of fun. As these parties gain popularity in lockstep with the booming "sober curious" movement, it’s clear the future of nightlife is about more than drinking less. It's about living authentically and fully in the moment.

SVDDEN DEATH has revealed his next food collaboration following his work with Marshmello—and this is one you can actually eat. SVDDEN DEATH, one of EDM.com's best music producers of 2022, has teamed up with Louisville Vegan Jerky Company to develop a signature flavor of vegan jerky. "Spicy Sweet Gochujang" calls upon the popular chili pepper-based Korean condiment for a jerky with some bite, much like his music. The "Behemoth" producer said he doesn't often dip into the merchandising world, but he loves the company's food. In addition to being vegan, his new soy-based jerky is gluten-free and non-GMO. "When I'm not traveling to play shows or at home obsessing over mixdowns, spiraling into an existential crisis over the tonality of a snare fundamental, I spend a lot of time cooking various vegan meals for myself and friends," SVDDEN DEATH says.

The 2024 Amsterdam Dance Event wasted no time pulling industry professionals into its orbit, as EDM.com’s exclusive "Insider Access" networking event and "EDM.com & Friends" showcase ushered in a high-energy start to the world’s leading electronic music summit. Held on Thursday, October 17th at ClinkNoord, the back-to-back events were packed with everything you’d expect from a top-tier gathering of global dance music professionals: networking, demo drops and a steady DJ soundtrack that extended well into the evening hours. Independent artists seized the rare chance to present their tracks directly to heavy-hitting record labels like Hexagon, Heldeep and Hospital Records. The exchanges buzzed with the excitement of new connections as label reps lent their ears and offered valuable feedback, all in the name of fueling the future of dance music. Of course, the showcase's heart-pounding energy was equally driven by a formidable lineup of artists. From a rare b2b set between Lyrah and Paige Lopynski of BONNIE X CLYDE to Rich DietZ closing out the night, the evening was a nonstop exposition of creativity and raw talent that saw over a dozen artists taking the decks. The action-packed day at Amsterdam's vibrant ClinkNoord marked the perfect addition to ADE's five-day celebration of global electronic music culture. With 1,000 events sprawling across nearly 200 locations in the city, the summit annually creates an unmatched global gathering for the industry.
