It’s new music Friday, out today is a Adam Beyer’s remix of a 1992 classic ‘Give It Up’. Originally produced by the legendary duo Chocolate Puma under their alias The Good Men. Give It Up Drumcode founder Adam Beyer transforms this classic track into a techno anthem. We are in peak festival season, and it’s safe to say this track lit the Tomorrowland dancefloor on fire. He has been playing his version throughout the summer. The original ‘Give It Up’ reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart back in 1993. This track was named as one of the classic cuts. As if the original track wasn’t a percussive masterpiece, the remix has us knocking our boots off our feet. Adam Beyer has been having a kick ass summer with his recent collaboration with Sharam, Layton Giordani and Green Velvet on their successful release of ‘PATT (Party All The Time)’. This song dominated the dance floors at Ultra Miami and topped the Beatport Top 100 chart. Let’s hope these are two of the tracks he will play up at Tomorrowland weekend 2 starting today. If you’re not there stay tuned for the live stream timings. Let us know what you think of ‘Give It Up’. Enjoy festival season and keep up with EDMTunes for all your latest dance music news! The post Adam Beyer & The Good Men – ‘Give It Up’ appeared first on EDMTunes.

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding's latest anthem, "Free," reinforces the fact that some artistic partnerships are simply destined for greatness. Their consistent ability to create chart-topping hits speaks to an innate understanding of dance music's role in human catharsis. That competency reaches crescendo in "Free," where Harris' production expertise and Goulding's gossamer vocals form a perfect alchemy and once again turn emotions into danceable gold. Much like the duo's prior work, "Free" is a dopamine-fueled escape hatch. With anthemic production and head-over-heels songwriting, the new single, their fourth collaboration, was designed for the walk-on-air rapture of a singalong moment in unison. "When I'm with you I'm free," Goulding sings with lilting falsetto accents. The enduring success of their partnership proves that some artistic combinations are written in the stars. Harris and Goulding reunited last year to release their soaring track "Miracle," which the former said at the time marked the completion of a "trilogy" of bangers after teaming up for a pair of generational dance anthems: 2012's "I Need Your Love" and 2014's "Outside."

In a daring artistic dive, HAYLA embraces the tumultuous descent of love's uncertainty in her latest single, "Freefall." Collaborating with Grammy-nominated producer Carl Ryden, her latest release marks a significant step in her journey as she embarks on her debut album cycle, with an exciting Los Angeles debut performance set for this December. Lyrically, "Freefall" is a rollercoaster that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of a relationship on the brink. The song opens with rhythmic, percolating basslines that set the stage for HAYLA's powerful vocals, weaving a narrative of wanting to let go yet feeling irresistibly drawn back. Her lyrics echo the sobering realization that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, some things are just meant to fall apart. As the track progresses, its high-energy production beams to the forefront. Melodic synth leads shimmer through a tense mix, like finding fleeting moments of clarity in a rocky relationship. In the crescendoing chorus, HAYLA's voice soars above a melodic techno-inspired sequence. The intimate song, HAYLA says, was born from a personal place of realization. "This song's story happens after the love has gone—when the realization hits that no matter how hard you try to make something work you can’t," she reflects in a press release shared with EDM.com. "The chorus, however, asks the question of gravitational pull… maybe in another time it would bring you back together." "Freefall" is the final solo single to release from HAYLA's upcoming debut album, which she said will release sometime in November. You can find the track on streaming platforms here.

With their new single, David Guetta and Oliver Heldens prove that sometimes simplicity in lyrics can amplify the complexity of their emotion. The chart-topping producers have joined forces for "Chills (Feel My Love)," a soaring dance anthem that's both familiar and refreshingly innovative. Guetta's signature production layers shimmering synths that spiral skyward while Heldens injects his playful touch with a bouncing bassline. Meanwhile, Fast Boy's lyrics cascade atop their effervescent production like a tidal wave of emotion, evoking a raw honesty that cuts through the polished veneer of typical dance anthems. His lyrics, though simple, pulsate with a desperate devotion, conveying a plea for connection that will hang heavy in the air of music festivals. Guetta and Heldens together debuted the track on the mainstage of Ultra Miami in March, and it's been sending shivers down spines ever since. "When I first heard the demo I knew there was something with 'Chills,'" Heldens said. "In the summer of 2023, I started testing an early demo at some of my shows but felt it wasn't totally right, so I went back into the studio and kept reworking it until it got to a place where it sounded so big and fresh! I then sent it to David, who loved it. He put his touch on the record, and we all finished it up together." "Chills (Feel My Love)" is out now via Ministry of Sound.

With her latest track, Kitty Amor has crafted a musical balm for the soul, reminding us that we find our greatest strengths in our shared humanity. The London-based DJ and Afro-house trailblazer has returned with "The Answer," out now under her own Mahaba Music banner, a part of Defected Records' family of labels. The empowering single features surging singer-songwriter AWEN, who has collaborated with Cristoph, Keinemusik's Adam Port and other influential dance music producers. Propelled by a driving beat, the song's sparse yet poignant lyrics paint a vivid picture of climbing hills and the collective catharsis that follows when we reach the top together. AWEN's voice, tinged with both vulnerability and authority, carries us through a lyrical battlefield of suppressed emotions and societal expectations: "All those hours spent on thinking that I had to smile, hide and lie / God knows I tried," she laments. But thanks to its chorus about the buoyancy of true sisterhood, "The Answer" is more than just a dancefloor filler—it's a timely reminder of the masks we wear and the liberation found in shedding them. As the track builds on that emboldening hook, Amor's potent Afrobeat production transforms its arrangement into a chest-thumping rallying cry for sisterly solidarity. "The Answer" is the first single to release from Amor's debut album, which is still in development but expected to land in 2025, according to a press release issued by Defected.

KDrew is at his most vulnerable in "Where Do We Go?," his stunning new single out now via Hegemon Select. The record arrives hot on the heels of the acclaimed producer and singer-songwriter's track "Hysteria," which dropped in late-June. And just like that release, it's a masterstroke of aching, vocal-driven bass music. Entwining with guitar plucks awash in distortion, the lyrics of "Where Do We Go?" read like a survival guide for the metaphysically stranded. With evocative cosmic references, KDrew's voice surfs atop waves of synthesized chaos, a lone astronaut musing, "Are we in hell or under stars?" Spoiler: it's both, always. KDrew asks big questions, but he doesn't shy away from the vertigo of it all: "We fought off the antidote that tried to pull us down below / But where do we go from here?" he belts. Meanwhile, his production is as sharp as ever, swallowing listeners whole and spitting them out into an abyss of bass-powered introspection. The track's melodic drops plunge us into a wormhole of complextro sound design, their frantic synths mirroring the existential angst of its lyricism and leaving a trail of glitchy euphoria in their wake.

Six years ago, Pretty Lights dimmed. Now, after his surreal comeback flipped the switch back on, he's returning to Las Vegas for a pair of epic arena shows. The influential electronic music producer stepped away from the industry and had remained out of the public eye since the summer of 2018, when he performed for a sold-out crowd at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. With five years of pent-up creativity, he emerged with a momentous tour, "Soundship Spacesystem," and officially returned to the stage in August 2023. Pretty Lights, whose real name is Derek Vincent Smith, has now announced a rare Vegas doubleheader as part of his "Soundship Spacesystem 2024 Check Your Vector Tour." The concerts are scheduled for Halloween weekend, October 25-26. c/o AEG Presents The twin bill in the nation's entertainment capital signals more than just another tour stop. For longtime fans, these shows offer a chance to reconnect with Smith's signature sound. And for newer audiences, it's an opportunity to experience firsthand an artist who helped shape the art of live electronic music performance. Taking over the illustrious MGM Grand Garden Arena, Pretty Lights will command the same stage as The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and countless other music icons have in years past. The arena has also played host to a number of boxing's most legendary fights, including the infamous 1997 championship bout in which Mike Tyson bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear. An artist pre-sale will launch at 10am PT on Tuesday, July 30th. In an effort to mitigate bots and resellers, it will only be accessible via a password sent by Seated, according to AEG. Prospective ticket-holders can sign up for the pre-sale on Pretty Lights' official website to retrieve the password, which will be delivered via SMS and email 20-60 minutes prior.

D.I.Y collectives and figureheads have long been integral to movements that drive changes in taste. They often invite exploration of more open-minded views, breaking the monotony that can, unfortunately, creep into scenes from time to time. In a post-pandemic world where any rule book that once existed has been tossed aside, the nightlife landscape of 2024 feels entirely different. This shift has been so challenging for many music industry workers that it has led to an unprecedented rate of nightclub closures in the UK. Given this context, it’s heartwarming to see individuals coming together to create a valued and personal experience for others, driven purely by their love for it. One such Bristol-based collective, made up of core members Ffi, Kate, Al, Sal, and Row, exemplifies this spirit. Known as Full Spectrum, this forward-thinking collective delivers excellently curated nights, delving deep into the dance music world with offerings from well-established artists and true underground names alike—from scene veterans to those just starting out. We caught up with the crew a few weeks back to discuss their birthday celebrations, ethos, and a refreshing mindset that truly deserves appreciation. Let’s start by running through who’s who and what they do within the brand… Ffi: We realised quite quickly that we are very collaborative. We wouldn’t say that one person has one designated role. We all lean towards our own skill sets. Kate does a bit more of the art, Al does a bit more of the tech, it is all very collaborative. If someone has an idea, we will all just pile into it. There are four of us sitting here right now, but there is a fifth member; Row who is not here as any day she is going to be giving birth to the first Full Spectrum baby. We are so unbelievably excited for this new chapter in her life and in our lives. We just wouldn’t feel right sitting here without making sure to mention her. This feels really clear-cut. Does that mindset to the operation come from previous experience in the industry? Al: I’ve always managed to find a project to involve myself with. When I first moved to Bristol I was part of a drum and bass collective called Fuck About. We did a mix series and put on a couple of nights and then after that, I became more involved with the running of another night called Collective. That’s where I met all the Sofa Sound crew who I regularly still help out. Mostly my experiences are with the actual running of events on the night. Ffi: I worked as a club promoter for multiple venues. It became apparent quite quickly in the drum and bass scene just how wrong things felt for me. That’s why we started Full Spectrum. Ultimately we all met from going on nights out and then during lockdown, we all had the time to digest what we wanted to change about the scene. We didn’t even realise how when we were in the swing of club land being open pre-pandemic, how white-cis-male-orientated nights on the circuit are. I think having the time in lockdown, especially with BLM at the forefront and a lot of promoters saying that they were going to be more inclusive in the future, but then falling short, we took stock of how backwards it all actually is. We also realised the opportunity in lockdown to educate ourselves. So when we started, we didn’t really see ourselves as promoters. I’d say we were very much activists I suppose. With that being said, how did you all come together to form the collective? Kate: Sal and I don’t really have that background in events, we wanted to do something that was a bit different. We wanted to start from scratch with what we were doing with Full Spectrum. We didn’t want to just follow moulds or patterns that were already there, because we didn’t know what they were. Our background is more as activists. Sal: That’s where we come from. That was our angle. The DIY aspect of it too. Kate: Just trying things out and not being afraid to put yourself out there and make a change. What’s the unifying message for the brand that connects you all together and with the attendees at your nights? Kate: For us, it is all about acceptance. We want to create spaces that are welcoming, supportive and safe for both artists and ravers to feel confident in expressing themselves. Being creative in an environment without fear of judgement. We want to push back against all forms of gatekeeping and exclusionary practices and barriers to entry that make so many people think that this scene isn’t for them. As a friendship group that’s very much how we operate anyway. We’re caring, we’re non-judgmental, and we’re open to anyone who shows that back to us. It really is just about having a safe space where people feel free to be themselves. We try to make each night as inclusive and as diverse as possible. I think you can see that reflected in the crowd that come to support. We put that energy out there and because we do that in a fairly friendly and non-confrontational way, we feel that a lot of people that come bring that energy back to us. How do you find having this ethos present whilst still striving for the progression of the brand? Sal: I think it’s just something that happens to come really naturally. It’s not something we’re trying to shoehorn into an existing collective. It’s what we came from and it’s the foundation of everything and how we started. Having that ethos guides every decision we make and every discussion we have, whether it’s to do with Full Spectrum or just as friends anyway. It’s a driving force and it develops organically and progresses that way. I think it attracts people. We’ve found new talent through just being ourselves. I noticed that you’ve not opted for any headliners for your 4th birthday celebration at the end of July. Is this part of that forward-thinking ethos? Kate: There has been a bit of a shift this year in how we’re addressing putting on nights. We started off booking bigger artists because that’s what we felt we should be doing. I think when we started, it was important to us to show that we were serious about the kind of collective we wanted to be and we were serious about pushing this message. We didn’t just want this to be a flash in the pan- throw a few little parties and then it never really progresses. We wanted to throw ourselves into it. Now we’re entering our fourth year and we’re more established, we’re thinking more about longevity and how we’re going to be able to keep doing what we’re doing in what is quite a challenging environment. When it comes down to us, first and foremost- we’re ravers. We recognise the challenges for ravers in terms of the money that they have. For us, it’s important for us to throw the best possible party that we can for the people and for us to enjoy. Right now, it’s really not value for money for ravers to see one headliner where they spend £15 at a 200-cap venue when they can see ten headliners play for £30 at Motion or something bigger. If we’re booking smaller artists we can book so many more. I guess we realised the people who come to our events are truly coming through the door to discover something new. That is why people show up to our events. Without having to pay a headliner fee, we have so much more scope for introducing new artists and getting more people involved. Ultimately, that is what we’re all about. It’s not that we won’t ever go back to booking headliners, we just need to make sure we’re booking them for the right reasons and it’s going to be something special. Not being repetitive is important for us too. We want to be able to give these opportunities to as many people as possible. One of the reasons we started wasn’t because we couldn’t believe they [other promoters] weren’t booking all of these queer, black and female artists that we knew all about. It was actually how few queer, black and female artists that we knew all about. So it’s been an educational process for us. Now that we know so much more, we have so many more people that we feel we should be making space for. It feels like narrowing it down should be hard, but it’s not. It’s also to be greatly appreciated that you find ease in moving around Bristol’s network of venues to provide everything from day-time parties to all-night sweat box raves. One such relationship to be championed is the one with To The Moon in Old Market, can you talk to us about how this partnership came about and why it’s so important to the brand? Al: Well funnily enough, it’s actually my sister’s place. Big up to Jem and Chris. That’s my brother in law. He does such a good job of running all the events there. They’ve been open about eight years now and they’ve just turned the place into such a warm and welcoming venue. We’ve met so many amazing people through that who all share the same values as Full Spectrum. Chris does a really good job of a wide range of events on the roster. They have comedy nights in the week or folk music and poetry, and then they have space for us to do our open decks. They also do a liquid monthly event called Liquid Lunar and that’s how a lot of us make friends. That’s really the big thing, it’s all come from them opening that space its just been a great place to bring like-minded people together. Kate: All three of the venues that we regularly have events at The Plough, The Exchange and To The Moon all are venues that absolutely share our ethos. They share our values and they’re community places that go out of their way to promote diversity, inclusion and activism within the community. They’re all big on that and that’s why we that’s why we continue to work with them. Ffi: I think it was really important for us as well with Old Market being the queer capsule of Bristol- it just reflects the audience we get. It’s details like that do help to be more encouraging of our message. Al: It was a nice idea to do a little pre-party at To The Moon. People could come along if they were coming along on their own. They could come and meet some people and get acquainted with the environment. To be able to actually talk in the club, it’s more sociable. We did it once and thought we should do this every time, plus It’s walking distance to The Exchange; it’s a great partnership. There really is an inoffensive in-your-face family affair vibe to your parties. How do you achieve this for your attendees? Sal: I think naturally we are really sociable. We all like making friends. When we’re at a rave we will probably make some new friends that we’ll add to our group for whatever event we’re at. I think that’s organically grown from that. I don’t think I personally even really realised what effects it would have put on a diverse and inclusive lineup because it attracts a really diverse and inclusive crowd. It brings people who want to make friends and want to get involved or just create a really nice atmosphere. It’s all blossomed on its own in a lovely way, probably because of how we approach raves and socialising. Ffi: When I first moved to Bristol before I met these lot I found it quite hard to meet people who were like-minded in the scene that didn’t want that weren’t lads at raves with their tops off. That’s why for me, having a space to genuinely make friends beforehand is so important. Online community groups and stuff are great for promoting yourself and having that online connection, but I think you just can’t take away from actually having the opportunity to just have a conversation. Kate: We’ve chosen venues and we do things in venues that aren’t exclusively drum and bass or aren’t primarily drum and bass venues and that’s because we want to bring new people into drum and bass and jungle. We want to show that drum and bass and jungle don’t have to be that slightly laddy culture. By doing it in places that have a different crowd already where we’re performing to a crowd that might not necessarily have chosen drum and bass but they’ve chosen the venue and we’re showing them how we can fit in. You’re not seen in partnership with other brands too much, if at all. Is this a conscious decision or just something that’s fallen into place? Ffi: We’ve got a very clear set of values and if we want to if we collaborate with a brand, we want to know wholeheartedly they’re already putting in the work to be more representative. We’ve been presented with opportunities in the past to work with large brands, however, it became apparent quite quickly that they wanted to work with us as a short fix to fulfil their diversity quota. We’re not here to fix people’s problems or to fix how they run their organisation. They need to be doing that themselves. Don’t get me wrong, we’re open to working with collectives with like-minded principles but I think most importantly; it can’t feel forced and it has to feel organic. I think the last thing we’d want is to go into partnership with someone and then after they have worked with us, they revert to not being inclusive. Are there brands that you would like to work with in the future? Ffi: The Mothership, Sisterhood, Swhsh, Headspace, Optimystic & Friends, Elysium, PTRNS & Bristol Mix Sessions. Obviously EQ50 would be amazing. We can’t do this interview without shouting out EQ50. Furthering that we are open to working with a plethora of brands, but I think that just needs to be a really open and honest conversation about our expectations of if we are going to work together. What are we aiming for? We are completely open to working with other people. It’s just unfortunately, we just have had some experiences where it just hasn’t felt truthful. How do you decide who you’re booking and adding to your ever-growing resident artist roster? Kate: For us, who we book often comes back to who is already playing an active role in supporting diversity within the scene. We put that ahead of any ideas of online clout or popularity or how people are presenting. We want to find artists that maybe wouldn’t necessarily find a platform in other spaces. That’s really exciting for us. We didn’t start out as a collective because we were the diverse DJs we wanted to see on lineups. We started out because we wanted to support the principle of diversity in drum and bass and so we love to bring in anyone who has that same mindset and has those same principles. Whilst we promote queer, black and female artists, we do also want to make space for cis white men who believe as strongly and inclusion and diversity as we do. That’s why we have our mix challenge and why some of our closest allies have been in some gorgeous B2Bs. We really don’t want anyone to think that because it’s not about them, it’s not for them. For us, it is always been about backing others and we want Full Spectrum to be a home for anyone and everyone who gets that. Those are the main things that really drive who we choose. Some people who have started at your open decks nights have then gone on to have places on nighttime paid events; such a real attitude to nurturing your own local talent. Is this natural behaviour or something that’s developed and grown over time? Kate: It’s just what we’ve always really wanted to achieve. That’s why we try and have such as broader spectrum of nights as we’re physically capable of doing. Having people come to the open decks, people who are open to coming and playing half hour at a small venue for us shows us a lot about who those artists are and what their attitude is within the scene. It’s just a great way of us getting to know them. It’s so much more important to us who they are as people than necessarily the tunes that they play. What we’ve learned from the open decks is that so many people have so much talent. The scene is brimming with talent and quality selectors that we couldn’t possibly choose just based on that. Ffi: I think leading on from this its access to equipment and the opportunities to do so has proven to be so important. For example, at our last event at The Plough we had Haydee perform and it was her second time playing a digital set. Neon Pumps only started DJing last year. Asha Binx; it was her first time on CDJs. It’s just so important to be able to create the spaces for people so they can just give it a go. Where do you see the collective over the next 3 years? Are you looking at taking the collective outside of Bristol? Sal: We have so much going on here in Bristol at the moment but maybe if the right thing presented itself we consider it. Continuing to foster new talent, and finding new people. There’s an endless stream of people ready to get out there. They just need that opportunity. It might be perhaps we can do workshops and set up networking events to help people develop those skills or the confidence to be able to go out and do things and meet each other and share information and help each other. Kate: It’s not like we aren’t ambitious for the brand. We’re ambitious for the message and that comes first. If we get opportunities to spread that message, then we will take them, but we’re not looking to push ourselves to become massive. We just want to spread the ideas that we believe in. The battle of inclusivity for all and for this not turning out tacky is something that feels increasingly at the forefront of brands these days, how do you navigate this in 2024? Ffi: I think for us its because we’ve all come from a DIY background the foundations of it have made it easy for the message to come across, but I think in terms of navigating the landscape in 2024, people that really love the music can spot a gimmick from a mile off. Promoters can put out a campaign that will fix something for a month but then the hype falls off. We want to make sure what we’re saying and what we’re doing actually is serving its purpose we don’t want to miss the mark with our output. Sal: I guess there’s a point with a lot of brands that during the pandemic made all these pledges but I went to a label night recently and it was a great night, but again; it was one woman on at the beginning and then and that was it for the whole day. It makes me think what really have you done? What have you changed? Kate, you mentioned that it was you that does the artwork for the collective. How do you find the inspiration for what you create and still work it to be in keeping with the brand? Kate: I come from an art background but I never really tried anything like this before Full Spectrum. I think maybe when I started out I tried to fit in more with the mould of what was out there already and struggled because I am not a natural on the computer. A lot of the art is me trying to make as much by hand as possible because that’s where my strengths lie. That I guess suits our DIY principles and our handmade personal touch. A lot of the inspiration comes from our lovely logo that was designed by my friend Lisa Williams. That was loosely based on the old TV waiting screen, which I guess was fairly apt for those pandemic years. That has led to lots of imagery of old, broken and obsolete tech, which is probably some kind of physical manifestation, breaking down the old to make space for the new. Mostly we like to keep it varied. We host such a range of different nights with all kinds of drum & bass being played, it wouldn’t seem right to present it all in the same way. We just want to create individual pieces that suit the vibe of the place and suit the vibe of us. Outside of drum and bass, what do you all listen to? Sal: We all have quite varied music tastes, although this is what has brought us together and continues to keep us together as well. I’m enjoying some hard acid techno at the moment. Kate: Me and my husband Larry come from DIY punk background. I listen to quite a bit of hip-hop as well. Al: I’m really bad, I don’t really listen to anything that isn’t drum and bass. There’s just so many styles for every kind of mood you’re in. Ffi: I’m a heavy metal and emo girl through and through, but my introduction to drum and bass was Enter Shikari. I gravitate towards musicians with a more political message anyway. Kate: I definitely think there’s scope within drum and bass for a more kind of political message. I think that’s definitely something that we appreciate in other music that doesn’t necessarily come through as much in drum and bass. Do you think you’d showcase some of these non drum & bass styles at future events? Kate: Possibly not although one of the reasons or inspirations behind starting Full Spectrum is a punk collective called Eat Up. Who teach people to play musical instruments and form bands. They run workshops and then they put on nights at The Exchange with bands that have been made through these workshops. We have at points talked about doing a collaboration that might be a punk evening, followed by a night of drum and bass. Sal: We have had people playing other types of bass music at our events before. Someone might have opened with a bit of garage or some 140. We probably will return to do it again at some point but I think we’re all probably quite keen to keep Full Spectrum as a drum and bass and jungle label. Primarily because then people know what they’re coming for. People know what Full Spectrum is and what to expect. It is the one genre that we all really enjoy together as well. So even just for our own personal enjoyment of it, that’s a good enough reason. Ffi: I think the imposter syndrome would really kick in if we started doing disco events. Anyone you’d really love to have come through for an event? Ffi: I suppose that’s the beauty of what we do. We don’t really know who’s going to come through. We like to surprise ourselves. In terms of future headliners, we couldn’t possibly say because then that would be ruining the surprise. You’ve done specially curated a mix for the interview. Can you just share a quick thought on how it came together? Ffi: We have a special announcement for this and would like to welcome a new member Chaand who has been a big supporter since the beginning and we’re so happy he’s joining in helping spread our message. The mix is a reflection of all of our styles and we hope you like it!

Kasablanca just announced the release of their debut album, Higher Resolution (Side A), set for October 2024, along with an album tour to kick off right after. If that wasn’t enough, they also gifted us with the first single off the album, a collaboration with Nordic duo anamē, entitled ‘Daydream.’ Originally debuted on the Anjunadeep 15 mixed compilation in May, ‘Daydream’ has been a highly requested track from both acts, with many fans excited for the team-up of two rapidly rising heavyweight acts on the Anjunabeats roster. Featuring vocal samples from UK songwriters Harvey Kirkby and Rhys Kirkby-Cox (aka Everyone You Know), the summery melodic house track is a fun deviation from Kasablanca’s typically darker techno sound. Anamē debuted the single in June at Anjunadeep Explorations Festival in Albania, testing it out across several days of crowded dance floors. The electronic duo has been on a hot streak in recent months with their Lane 8 collaboration ‘Remission‘ in April, their solo track ‘Terminal Feeling‘ in June, and now this collaboration with anamē. This pivot came after lead singer Micky started the year off with a hiatus from music after a cancer diagnosis in late 2023. With a massive return to full form alongside the aptly-named ‘Remission’ release, Kasablanca has since been busy introducing new Citizens to their epic live show at mainstages around the world, including Ultra’s Miami, Peru, and Chile; EDC; the Brooklyn Mirage; Bonnaroo and many more throughout the summer to come including their first European tour before the album release. Equally as busy on the road, Scandinavian duo anamē are also playing out the new collab across their extensive tour. Finishing up a massive 2023 with their debut album Beautiful World and the album world tour reaching dozens of dates, anamē still have plenty more to come, with Summer shows lined up all across North America, Europe, India, and Australia. ‘Daydream’ is set to release tomorrow (July 26th) on Anjunabeats. You can pre-save the track here. The post Kasablanca Announce Debut Album & Accompanying Tour appeared first on EDMTunes.

With his new single "Hot Honey," Tiësto proves that even in the realm of electronic dance music, there's room for a little Southern comfort. He's joined forces with buzzing country artist Alana Springsteen, who is signed to Columbia Records/Sony Music Nashville, to infuse his anthemic sound with a touch of twang. "Hot Honey" emerges as a genre-defying confection where his pulsing beats intertwine with the dulcet tones of Springsteen's vocals, which explore the intoxicating allure of a love that's as fleeting as it is intense. Springsteen's lyrics ooze with both desire and disappointment, her words dripping with the titular "hot honey"—sweet yet stinging. Meanwhile, Tiësto's propulsive production entwines with her emotional storytelling, much like the tempestuous push and pull of the relationship she's describing. All said and done, "Hot Honey" is a bold step for Tiësto, who continues to prove that even the most tenured of dance music veterans can find new ways to surprise and innovate. "I've always been drawn to fun/party side and the authenticity of country music, so when I had the opportunity to team up with Alana Springsteen to make a country dance song, I was super excited," Tiësto said in a statement shared with EDM.com. "Alana has an incredible voice, which is precisely the texture this song needed, and I respect her abilities as a songwriter as well as her artistry. This is a different sound for me but as you know by now, I like to explore and am inspired by all different genres when making dance music! I hope you enjoy this song as much as we did creating it." "How often do you get the chance to collaborate with one of the most iconic DJs of all-time?" Springsteen added. "When Tiësto reached out to see if I'd want to get creative with him on 'Hot Honey,' I saw it as the most invigorating opportunity. I've always loved exploring sonically and being able to do that with dance music while staying true to my country roots—that's what excites me about being an artist and songwriter."

The collaboration between Rezz and deadmau5 reached new heights over the weekend, when they closed out Tomorrowland's Freedom Stage. "If you told me that when I was 16 I’d laugh and say theres no chance," she said on X prior to the festival.

As the summer sun reaches its peak—and so does the promise of fleeting romance—Nicky Romero has delivered a summertime fling in sonic form with his new single, "Love You for the Summer." Romero, the mastermind behind Protocol Records, has teamed up with Brazilian sensation Öwnboss and Oaks, the alias of renowned singer-songwriter Winona Oak, to create the new track. His illustrious career needs no introduction, but with his latest offering, he's achieved another milestone with his debut on Canada’s largest independent electronic music label, Monstercat. A celebration of the season's highs, the evocative single is a refined blend of emotion and danceable energy. It opens with delicate piano chords, setting a reflective tone before Oaks' lovelorn lyrics weave through the melody and pull us listeners into a tale of transient love. As the tension builds, arpeggiated synths dance with euphoric precision, lifting the spirits higher with each note. At its apex, driving basslines thunder beneath punchy, rolling kicks, creating an irresistible groove that demands movement. Gated tremolo vocal chops add a layer of texture, their staccato rhythm echoing the heartbeat of a summer romance.
