2006 has been a successful year for house music, facing releases such as Axwell’s ‘World Hold On’ Remix, Fedde Le Grand with his massive hit ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,’ and Tell Me Why, Supermode’s only track which with time, has become a huge classic. Years before uniting powers with Sebastian Ingrosso and creating Swedish House Mafia, Axwell and Steve Angello have formed the Supermode duo for one special occasion, when they produced ‘Tell Me Why.’ The track sampled two songs from the British pop band Bronski Beat. The instrumental which is inspired by ‘Smalltown Boy,’ and the vocals from the song ‘Why.’ The track explores the concept of emotional ambiguity and the pursuit of clarity. The repetitive phrase ‘Tell Me Why’ symbolises a desire to understand the causes or motivations behind specific events or acts. These ideas of Axwell and Angello have gone far into the charts, reaching the UK Top 40 and spending 7 consecutive weeks there. The leads of this track are so famous that it is impossible not to recognise them when you hear the song live. After its original release date, ‘Tell Me Why‘ has been reinterpreted by many other artists in the form of remixes, but in 2022 the Meduza trio has shocked the world with their new, own view of the song. Produced and mixed with a modern sound, the track is rocking the biggest festivals in the world with its bass and buildup. Swedish House Mafia have also used the remix in their sets, showing support for new versions of the tracks that they originally made.

Paco Osuna’s NOW HERE residency at Hï Ibiza is redefining the island’s nightlife. The Club Room at Hï Ibiza throbs with energy. It’s Tuesday night, and the crowd is electric. This is NOW HERE, and it’s unlike anything else on the White Isle. Paco Osuna, the mastermind behind NOW HERE, stands at the decks. His fingers dance across the mixer, crafting a soundscape that’s both familiar and alien. The crowd moves as one, lost in the music. “It’s about being present,” Osuna shouts over the thunderous bassline. “NOW HERE is about experiencing the moment, right here, right now.” This philosophy is at the core of NOW HERE’s success. Now in its third season, the event has become a staple of Ibiza‘s summer calendar. But what makes NOW HERE stand out in Ibiza’s crowded club scene? “It’s the vibe,” says Maria, a regular attendee. “You never know what to expect, but you know it’ll be amazing.” Indeed, unpredictability is NOW HERE’s hallmark. Each Tuesday brings a new lineup, a fresh experience. From rising stars to established names, the talent on display is consistently top-tier. Take the opening party on June 18th. Swiss-born Mendo kicked off the night with sharp, funky tech-house. The Mason Collective followed, their set a journey through groovy house and heavy basslines. Osuna closed, captivating the crowd until sunrise. On July 16th, NOW HERE took over Ibiza Global Radio. Melanie Ribbe delivered an hour of live music from the Playa Den Bossa Summer Studio. It was a taste of what was to come later that night at Hï Ibiza. “We want to create a complete experience,” Osuna explains. “From the radio to the club, it’s all connected.” This holistic approach is paying off. NOW HERE has quickly become one of the most talked-about events on the island. “The energy is insane,” says Alex, a British tourist. “I’ve been to a lot of nights in Ibiza, but nothing compares to this.” It’s not just the music that sets NOW HERE apart. The production values are off the charts. Cutting-edge visuals and state-of-the-art sound systems create an immersive experience. But at its core, NOW HERE is about the music. Osuna’s curation ensures a perfect balance of established acts and emerging talent. “We’re always looking for new sounds,” Osuna says. “It’s important to keep things fresh, to keep pushing boundaries.” As the sun rises over Ibiza, the last beats fade away. Another NOW HERE night comes to an end. But for the sweaty, smiling crowd leaving Hï Ibiza, the memories will last a lifetime.

Their geographical backgrounds are in contrast to say the least. But the result is something special. Polish-born drum and bass producer Satl teams up with the Los Angeles-native vocalist Brandy Haze to supply an infectious blend of R&B meets D&B. With their ‘LA Fling’ EP on The North Quarter, they give us five tracks sitting at the familiar 174 tempo, but with a fresh construction otherwise – bringing more warmth and butteriness than the standard liquid roller. Brandy serves up rich vocals that don’t waver from her roots, bringing sounds and content that are largely untapped to the world of liquid underground D&B. Particularly on the tracks ‘Anxious’, ‘Unfortunate’, and ‘All Night’ where the moments of half-tempo – or no percussion whatsoever – reveal a truly R&B sound that’s getting a lift in energy from the beats. From natural and stripped-back drum programming to unique melodies, Satl clearly approaches the production of these tracks differently to his other work – understanding the nuances of the soulful LA sound in combination with D&B’s rougher edges. The pair – who currently only know each other virtually – have chemistry. This is perhaps most evident on ‘Call Me’ done in collaboration with EIJER, and the first single from the EP. The track leans more towards D&B than R&B this time, but the character comes from Brandy’s vocal, and the way it’s been manipulated. As an audio engineer herself, Brandy is able to hand Satl WAVs upon WAVs of ready-to-go vocals (much to his delight), and this is the reason ‘Call Me’s chopped and screwed sound is executed so well. UKF had to know more about the R&B-meets-D&B, LA-meets-Poland dynamic. We sat down with both of them to discuss their process, techniques, and what they’re learning from each other’s worlds. How did you two discover each other? Adrian: Well I just found Brandy on Instagram! Brandy: Sometimes the best way that it happens is internet connections. Adrian: These days, on all these channels, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Soundcloud – you can discover so many great artists that you wouldn’t know about, doing the things that you like. And it feels very seamless because you can collaborate with anyone in the world. So it was just an Instagram message from you to Brandy? Yeah, one of her songs popped up on my feed, and I thought it sounded really good, so after listening to some more, I was thinking this is the stuff I’m aiming to do in the drum and bass realm. It felt like it could translate really well, so we thought we’d try it. We gave it a try and we’re here now! Brandy: And Adrian introduced me to drum and bass, because before I’d never really heard about it. That was going to be my next question. What’s your take on the genre being pretty new to it all? Brandy: I’m finding now that there are so many artists who dabble in the genre. It’s one of those things where, before, when I didn’t know about it, it didn’t exist to me. But now that I know what I’m hearing a little more, I’m hearing so many artists I know who have a drum and bass track. I don’t know if you would consider her strictly drum and bass – but Rochelle Jordan does some really cool stuff with house and dance music, I think she does have one or two D&B tracks too. Are you noticing much of a crossover between underground dance music and R&B? It seems like a rare thing. Brandy: Yeah I feel like right now, with this DJ-era on the rise, people are blending stuff together so much, dance music especially is getting mixed with all types of other genres. Adrian: I also think drum and bass is having a big rise in the US at the moment – be it more mainstream or underground stuff. I think there’s a lot of exciting things going on over there. The way I see it, for so many years people in drum and bass were aiming for this jazzy style or deeper style. But R&B is popular at the moment – on the radio and underground – and I feel like us in drum and bass should move forward, along with it, and take more influence from what’s hot right now. Not be stuck in the past. There’s lots of new avenues to explore at the moment. Drum and bass soldiers, the purists, would be hating on people using auto-tune in vocals or something. But with the technology there, why not take advantage of it and make something fresh? Rather than be stuck and follow the same patterns. Are you two taking inspiration from any other peers? Adrian: Within D&B, there are others who are getting involved with similar things – Halogenix, GLXY for example, we’re trying to push this R&B-inspired take on D&B. So on that side there’s definitely something bubbling. Brandy: For me this is all-kind of fresh, and new, and I’m excited to be getting involved in it in the US, and helping drum and bass grow out here. It does seem like it’s definitely starting to pick up a lot in the US as well. Submorphics is pushing that underground D&B sound with US influence. Adrian: Yeah for sure. I listen to a lot of American music in my free time, and I feel like even the channels like Soulection, they are trying to explore D&B more. Which is very exciting, because they are one of these outlets who really inspire me with this D&B-R&B hybrid. It’s nice to see that side of the world taking on D&B and trying to translate it in their own terms. Let’s talk about process – how does a track come together between you two? Adrian: So the first two tracks we’ve done, ‘Today’ and ‘Call Me’, I had instrumentals which I sent to Brandy. But the other three were vocals that Brandy already had – so I built everything around those the other way around, pretty much from scratch. Brandy: Yeah it was a little bit of both! So on ‘Call Me’ and ‘Today’, Brandy – if you get sent those in D&B tempo, how did you adapt to that? Brandy: Yeah I did try to follow the energy of the track a little bit more. But then also just being able to freestyle and try some different things, I knew it could be remixed and played with. Yes! I noted ‘Call Me’ as one of my tracks of the year last year, and a big thing I loved about it was the fact that the vocals were so layered and chopped. Adrian: And Brandy is an engineer herself, so that’s really good to work with as a producer – because she sends everything over like a pro. So I can have a field day with the vocals when I receive them, and really try to take them to different places. Even with ‘Today’, we had so many parts we didn’t end up using. We just stuck to a few really strong parts that were re-arranged and edited. We ended up with something completely different than the original idea. When Brandy can engineer herself, and put all the effects that she knows will work, it just makes my work easier. I’m getting something really high quality that I can take inspiration from, and take in all sorts of directions. I’ll send it to her throughout as well, to see what she thinks, and so I don’t take it too far into a weird direction! Adiran, on the production side – how did you build those to have this R&B feeling? This whole EP does feel distinctly relaxed and smooth, even though it’s at D&B tempo and back-boned with energy… Adiran: One of the things I often do with this style, is that I start the instrumental without any drums. So I’m not put into that D&B mindset, and I can have a full idea laid down before I put any drums in there to give it the rhythm. Sometimes, drum and bass being a specific tempo and the rhythm of the drums always being very similar, that can put you in a box. If you don’t have that constraint and you’re just writing chords and melody, you can be more expressive. And sometimes when I work with vocalists, I will on-purpose not send them the instrumental with the drums, I will just give a hi-hat or something so that they’re not in the mindset of D&B when they’re writing. Yeah, that approach is definitely noticed. Have you sat in the studio together yet? Brandy: Not yet, but hopefully soon. Adrian: Yes I’m working on my US visa to come and do a line of shows. But it’s a very long process. But if that happens I’m sure we will link up and make sure something happens. Brandy: I would love to come over to your side of the world as well. And I definitely want to travel, so hopefully if not this year, next year I can have a nice little London tour. We need to get you on the microphone at a drum & bass rave over here. Surely a TNQ at Phonox event… Speaking of The North Quarter, is this D&B-R&B hybrid a sound that Lenzman has specifically been pushing for? Adrian: Since I’ve joined the North Quarter, Teije has always given me a free hand – he’s said to do whatever I want, and if he likes it, it will get a release and make it work. So there hasn’t felt like any push from him in that direction. I feel like it came from me. When I did the album at the end of 2022, after that I felt like I had to change my approach and a bit of what I’m doing. I was struggling to find a new direction, and after a couple of months, I felt like this hybrid was really speaking to me, so I naturally explored it more. When the time came to do a follow up after the album, I sent all this over to Teije and he was on board. It’s really good because I didn’t feel any pressure to do a certain style and follow any other style. It just grew naturally. Yeah it’s definitely different to Gloom. Do you take a lot of inspiration from being in sort of a tunnel vision on a certain style, or is it more that you just make a bunch of tracks and eventually you get a collection that works for a project? Adrian: I mean I never made music with a project in mind to be honest. This EP even, we have so many more tracks not on this release, and it’s just a matter of selecting them. Excited to hear more. Are you both noticing a crossover of fans? Brandy: I definitely notice more overseas fans now. I do have a big London fanbase, I guess from Soundcloud, I was pretty heavy on there in 2018. But I’m seeing it grow, and then other places around the world like Portugal and other spots in Europe are growing. Adrian: I definitely have more of a fanbase in the US now. I think it comes from the fact that I listen to a lot of music that comes from there, and then I translate that into drum and bass, and I think they’re picking up on that. I’ve seen my American fanbase on Spotify grow from being quite far down to top 5 consistently. Were you thinking about the way this project could affect your branding, for better or worse, with your existing fanbase? Brandy: I think two things on this. Firstly, I think right now, where music is at, there’s so much being put out every day that fans will find what they like. People are also crossing genres more and more. You have people like Doja Cat who you can’t really put in a box. I also started off with quite a housey sound to begin with, I had a song called ‘Conditional’ which blew up on Soundcloud. And it was very different, it wasn’t considered R&B or pop – it was much more in the dance music space. So I think my audience has been sort of warmed to this from the start, and the introduction of drum and bass is complementary, not jarring or anything. And Adrian, I guess you’re kind of just known for going in all sorts of directions to your fans. Adrian: Yeah, ever-changing! For me, I just like to write music, and whatever happens with it, whatever genre it ends up being, I don’t mind. Sometimes the ideas start as a completely different genre. I’ll start with a UK garage track, hip-hop, and then they end up being D&B, or vice-versa. So I always enter it with an open mind, and not feeling like, this is sick, it needs to be drum and bass. Because it might sound better as a different genre. Are each of you working with any other artists in this style? Adrian: We haven’t really brought anyone else on the project. I have worked recently with some instrumentalists that make samples and things. I just feel like it’s quite fresh to bring in someone with a different idea, and then translate them. But on this project, only ‘Call Me’ was made with Eijer. Brandy: For me, no I haven’t worked with any other D&B producers – not yet! Not yet! But you’ve mentioned more is coming, and I heard it might be for 1985 Music? Adrian: Yes. That’s actually another track with Eijer as well – I think that will be out in October or November as part of a VA compilation. Apart from that, we’ve got a few other tracks. Literally this week I’ve been working on something with Duskee, where Brandy’s vocals will be featured as well. It’s got this MC and singer combo, which works really well. But that’s still in the works. We’ve got way more coming, but it’s just about timing and when we can make people hungry for this type of sound. Have you noticed this sound is becoming quite sought after by D&B labels? Adrian: Yeah I think so. I’ve worked with a lot of vocalists who are within drum and bass or came from drum and bass, but quite an exciting thing about Brandy is she hasn’t done any drum and bass before. I feel like that’s what makes it sound fresh, it’s so authentic, and she’s so good to work with. It doesn’t sound like we’re trying to force that hybrid sound, it just happens naturally. So hopefully people will start to notice and pay more attention to it. Are you working on any genres together? You could make some great R&B or slower tempo stuff. Brandy: Not that we’ve talked about, but Adrian… let’s visit that at some point. Adrian: Definitely. Because Brandy stepped into my world, so it would be nice to do the reverse of that. What’s on the horizon for you outside of this project, Brandy? Brandy: I’ve got a lot more to release this summer – some collaborations, and something on the Kali Uchis-type vibe. I feel like we’re going to have a great summer of music, everybody is back into releasing so I can’t wait to hear what everyone else is dropping as well. That post-covid hangover is well and truly gone. Brandy: Exactly, everybody’s been looking forward to this summer! Adrian: Definitely. And for me, it’s just the usual – lots of releases scheduled. There’s a few surprising ones coming too. Some stuff on Critical, 1985. This year I’m just dedicating myself to pushing the new sounds I’m into, and I’ve got a lot of interesting collaborations that people might not be expecting. There’s loads, it’s just a matter of when it comes out. I’m really excited for what’s coming. Especially for the two of us, I believe we are onto something very unique, that not a lot of others are doing to the same extent. Hopefully that inspires other people to dive deeper into other genres, and be inspired by them. Like Brandy said, there’s so much good music being released every week, that you can really try and find your own unique combination of genres that you are influenced by, and pave your own way. And if you stick long enough, it’s going to pay off.

Hold onto your synapses because Anyma is rewiring Las Vegas' nervous system after selling out his historic residency at the Sphere. The superstar Italian DJ is set to become the first electronic dance music artist to perform at the arena inside the $2.3 billion venue, the world's largest spherical structure. After revealing a landmark New Year's Eve headlining show, the Sphere added five more events due to "incredible ongoing demand," per a press release. All six concerts comprising the groundbreaking residency from December 27th to January 1st sold out in a matter of minutes. Anyma, who is beloved within the electronic music community for his haunting and immersive visuals, will be remixing the laws of physics in the giant orb, which contains the world's largest- and highest-resolution wraparound LED screen. The DJ in 2016 co-founded the Afterlife label and touring brand, whose cerebral approach to techno has effectively reinvented the genre for today's generation, mutating it into a dazzling—and oftentimes chilling—live music experience. Anyma's residency is a watershed moment for the pioneering Sphere, where only a handful of legendary rock and jam bands have performed prior: U2, Phish, Dead & Company and The Eagles. And as this EDM-fueled spectacle takes shape—quite literally in spherical form—he's promised "the best show" of his remarkable career thus far. "Three years ago when I started Anyma I would have never believed we’d come this far - all I can say is Thank You," he said. "To all 100,000 of you attending I promise to give you the best show of my life, with special surprises and guests lined up." View the original article to see embedded media.

We’re almost one week out from SoCal’s HARD Summer, set to take place at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park, adjacent to SoFi Stadium, on August 3rd and 4th. With a lineup as stacked as this one, it can be hard to choose which artists to prioritize on your weekend itinerary. Read on for a list of Must-See acts at this year’s HARD Summer. Disclosure Award-winning production duo/brothers, Disclosure, are one of dance music’s most successful acts. With iconic breakout tracks like ‘Latch‘ and ‘You & Me‘ (later remixed notoriously by Flume), it didn’t take long for this pair’s career to catapult to new heights. This duo knows how to put on a live show, and they are not an act you seen on lineups often. In fact, they just performed their first live set since 2016 earlier this year at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. So don’t miss your chance to see them in action on Saturday! I promise it’ll be a good time. REZZMAU5 REZZMAU5 is the collaborative project everyone’s been buzzing about, and for good reason. The pair first teamed up in 2021 for their collaboration, ‘Hypnocurrency,’ leaving fans begging for more. They officially teamed up as REZZMAU5 last year, marking the new b2b project with its debut release, ‘Infraliminal‘ on mau5trap. They’ve since performed a few coveted REZZMAU5 sets, including at Canada’s Veld Music Festival and most recently, Belgium’s Tomorrowland. While Rezz and deadmau5 alone might be easy to catch on a lineup, a REZZMAU5 set is still few and far between, so don’t miss you chance to see these two incredible acts combine their unique sounds on Friday night! Levity This trio from Chicago might just be the most talked-about EDM act of the past year. They first appeared on everyone’s radar after Electric Forest 2023, in which they were a last-minute replacement for another artist at the Honeycomb stage. The set, which they later uploaded to SoundCloud, took the world by storm, showcasing their energetic stage presence, crowd interaction, and a unique blend of all different genres. Levity will be bringing the vibes to HARD Summer on Saturday. Don’t miss out on the fun! Mary Droppinz I first had the opportunity to witness a Mary Droppinz set at Deadrocks earlier this month. I was blown away by the energy she emanated from behind the decks, with her nonstop smiling, dancing, and mixing banger after banger. She also brought her own dancers to perform on stage, who brought up the vibes of the set even more. Covering everything from house to dubstep to UK rap to riddim, Mary Droppinz defies genre boundaries. That’s exactly what makes her live performances so entertaining, so don’t miss your chance to catch Mary on Saturday! Chase & Status If you’ve been to a festival within the last year, you’ve likely heard ‘Baddadan,’ the mega-collab between Chase & Status, Bou, Flown, IRAH, Trigga, and Takura. While this drum & bass hit has taken the festival circuit by storm, Chase & Status has been on the map for a lot longer than its July 2023 release date. This duo is among legends in the UK DnB community, with releases that date back to the early 2000s. If you’re a fan of high-energy drum & bass, or witnessing iconic acts live, don’t miss HARD Summer’s special guest, Chase & Status, on Saturday. Two-day GA, GA+, and VIP HARD Summer festival passes are available now. Visit HARD’s official website for more info!

Before becoming part of the supergroup Swedish House Mafia, Axwell and Steve Angello were already making waves in the dance music scene. The close friends frequently collaborated in the studio, appearing on singles such as ‘Get Dumb’ and ‘Leave The World Behind’. However, under the duo name Supermode, they released ‘Tell Me Why’ on July 24, 2006. This track, their only release as Supermode, sampled ‘Why?’ and ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat and quickly became a dance floor anthem. Axwell, a five-time Grammy-nominated artist, is known for his distinctive sound and significant contributions to the electronic dance music scene. As a member of Swedish House Mafia, he conquered festivals throughout the early 2010s, achieving platinum certifications with albums like ‘Until One’ and ‘Until Now’. As a solo artist, he released consistent hits, including 2008’s ‘What a Wonderful World’, 2012’s remix of ‘In My Mind’, and 2018’s ‘Belong’. Steve Angello, known for his casual demeanor and dedication to his craft, has earned his “legend” status as a member of Swedish House Mafia. With a discography dating back to 2003, Angello has released and produced multiple hits under various projects and aliases. He continues to receive upwards of 5 million monthly streams, reflecting his enduring influence in the music industry.

Two years after Gordo and Drake's collaborations became instant summertime staples in 2022, they're ready to showcase more on the former's debut album, Diamante. The culmination of over four years of work, the introspective project moonlights as a reflection of Gordo's evolution as an artist. He famously retired his Carnage alias back in May 2022. "[Diamante is] the most emotional project I’ve worked on in my life," Gordo said. "It features work from artists I’ve looked up to and artists who inspire me, some I've known for years and others I've met more recently." Gordo and Drake's partnership has been instrumental in shaping the landscape where hip-hop meets house music. Their collaborative force was first showcased on Drake's dance-influenced album Honestly, Nevermind, in which the DJ contributed production to six tracks. The synergy is set to continue on Diamante, which spans 16 tracks and includes high-profile features from T-Pain, Leon Bridges, Maluma, Fuerza Regida and Keinemusik's Rampa and &ME, among others. "We've been friends for years but had never actually properly collaborated on music before Honestly, Nevermind," Gordo says of his first official collaboration with Drake. "To have him on my debut album speaks volumes about what people can expect on it." View the original article to see embedded media. Since adopting the Gordo alias, the "Taraka" producer has earned several significant accolades in a short period of time, including a Grammy nomination and topping Billboard's "Hot 100 Producers" chart. Fans can look forward to the producer's next milestone with the release of his debut album on July 26th. "This album embodies all my different tastes and personalities, from what I listen to, to what I play live, who I am as an artist, but most importantly, who Diamante is," he added. "It’s my most personal work to date and comes from a place of love and authenticity. Most of the album’s production was done at home in Hawaii. I would produce until 6 PM, then I’d take a break, sit on my terrace, and watch the sunset while listening to the album and taking it all in. It’s an album you can listen to at home and at a 5am rave; it can be the pinnacle of your night or the perfect come-down after a long day. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on."

The iconic Hospital Records is known for taking drum & bass to places it's never been, but the team behind the label outdid themselves this time. Hospital literally took their music to new heights in the skies of Bristol, where they recently hosted the city's first-ever hot air balloon rave. The ambitious event came to life via a collaboration between Hospitality (the label's global events arm), the summertime event organizer Siren and the nonprofit RIOT Noise. Together, they organized the skyward rave and brought in Hospital Records artist Anaïs to DJ. A small group of contest winners packed into the gondola and partied to her blistering blend of jungle and drum & bass as a drone followed in close pursuit to capture stunning, panoramic views of Bristol. View the original article to see embedded media. "When you think of Bristol, a couple of things come to mind, and that’s an unbeatable nightlife, and hot air balloons," said Tom Hoyle, co-founder of Siren. For us, this was a no brainer... It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and what I love about Bristol is that it encourages you to make these wild ideas actually happen. We ran a competition for anyone to apply for a spot in the basket, and we were overwhelmed with the amount of responses we got." The event arrived ahead of Hospitality on the Harbour, scheduled for August 3rd at Lloyds Amphitheatre in the heart of Bristol. Anaïs features on the bill, which is topped by drum & bass superstars Andy C and Netsky. Check out a photo gallery from the rare UK rave below. c/o Hospitality View the 7 images of this gallery on the original article Follow Hospital Records:X: x.com/hospitalrecords Instagram: instagram.com/hospitalrecords TikTok: tiktok.com/@hospitalrecords Facebook: facebook.com/hospitalrecords

Listen to a gigantic track we recently came across. Here at EDMTunes, we’re always excited to find out about artists that weren’t on our radar before and who amaze us with their productions. It’s happened today, in the form of a very versatile, veteran artist, who’s just put out an album, mind you. Meet Bogendorfer. Bogendorfer Hailing from Oberwart, Austria, the ever-evolving artist Franz Johann Bogendorfer, also known in the industry as just Bogendorfer, has been a powerhouse in the scene for years, masterfully switching between Deep Tech, Organic Tech House, and Downtempo sounds that make up his core essence. Earlier this month, he unveiled his latest artist album, Cohuna Beatz. Consisting of eight tracks, produced at the renowned Batusim Studio Oberwart, and released through vinyl, the LP represents the culmination of Bogendorfer’s years of dedication and experimentation. And out of the album, one track in particular blew us right out of the water. ‘Ogun’ Warm and groovy, ‘Ogun’ is a wonderful blend of Deep House and Afro House, taking the foundation from the first, but the personality of the second, resulting in a very interesting concept that stands out in today’s template-filled world. Playing with high toms, African chants, House claps, robotic vocals, synth arpeggios, and much more, Bogendorfer is able to portray an arrangement like few around, providing a fresh note of Dance to the industry, and paving the path for other producers to follow his footsteps.

It’s a wrap on Tomorrowland Weekend 1, 2024! With a slew of spectacular performances, extravagant production with the largest mainstage to date and a sold-out attendance, it’s difficult to pin-point a stand-out act. However, if we’re going to talk about the youngest person to play at the festival this year, that title goes to DJ Archie. Hailing from the North Essex, England, at just 9-years old Archie Norbury has left quite a prominent mark in the electronic dance music scene. His foray into this world commenced at a young age, where Archie’s interest in DJing began when he was just 2 years old. His inspiration came from seeing his father’s love for music where in an interview with DJ Mag, Archie said that he first tried his hands out at DJing on his dad’s equipment “My dad was a DJ and one day I turned on his equipment when he was out of the room and I was mixing and it was all in time,” he said. DJ Archie‘s career has been growing over the years, highlighted by significant turning points like winning DJ competitions and building a social media following. In 2018, at the age of four years and 130 days, Archie was officially acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the youngest DJ in the world. This accomplishment made him well-known throughout the world and opened doors for him to have more success as a DJ. DJ Archie‘s performance at Tomorrowland 2024 was the talk of the event. His energetic music and clever mixing techniques hooked the audience, and his connection with the crowd made his set truly memorable. Reflecting on his triumph with DJ Mag, Archie shared, “I had the audience in the palm of my hand, and they were all moving to the beat.” Both attendees and online viewers were abuzz with praise for this rising talent, cementing Archie’s promising future in the industry. As DJ Archie continues to break boundaries and inspire future talent, the EDM world is excited to see what he will accomplish next!

Regard has released "Call On Me," a pulsing reincarnation of the vocal sample from Eric Prydz's seminal hit of the same name, only reimagined for a new era of dancefloors. The "Ride It" producer, who has seven #1 US Dance Radio hits and over five billion streams to his name, lands on Thrive with his latest anthem. His nuanced production shines through an infectious house arrangement that gleams with both chart-topping potential and maximalist energy. Breathing new life into a classic while carving its own identity, "Call On Me" speaks to the beautifully cyclical nature of dance music. Regard was only 11 when Prydz dropped his iconic track in 2004. "The release day is just one day, but the record is forever," Regard said on Instagram. Going back even further, the song's iconic hook is rooted in the 1982 release of Steve Winwood's "Valerie." Co-written by Songwriter's Hall of Fame member Will Jennings, that track is about the story of American singer Valerie Carter, who sung backup for legends like James Taylor and Jackson Browne before launching a fascinating solo career. Beloved for her sultry voice, Carter sadly battled substance abuse issues before dying of a heart attack in 2017 at the age of 64.

Hardwell transported fans to the golden era of EDM with his throwback set at Tomorrowland 2024. Performing on the Tomorrowland Freedom Stage, the Dutch DJ brought back beloved festival anthems and a — FOR YEARS — unreleased collaboration with Martin Garrix. His performance blended nostalgia with electrifying energy, creating a special treat for fans. Choosing The Throwback Theme Surprisingly, Hardwell revived the “Big Room” era at Tomorrowland. He performed on Friday, July 19, during the first week of the festival. Though limited to the Freedom Stage for this set, Hardwell will return to the Mainstage in the festival’s second week. In late June, he asked fans on social media, “Playing the Freedom Stage at Tomorrowland on 19 July means the Freedom to do something different. What kinda set would you like me to play?!”, and fans overwhelmingly requested a Throwback EDM set, although a vinyl set also received some votes. Memorable Moments From The Set From the opening notes, Hardwell set the stage for a nostalgic journey, starting with a 2015 intro. His setlist featured timeless Revealed Recordings tracks like ‘Countdown‘, a collaboration with MAKJ, and ‘Apollo‘ featuring Amba Shepherd from 2012. A highlight was ‘Musicbox‘, a previously unreleased track with Martin Garrix, presented in a fresh mashup with ‘Who’s Ready To Jump’, ‘Magnomite’, and ‘Chuckie’. Hardwell also included ‘Fifteen‘, a Blasterjaxx release from over ten years ago, adding his unique twist. The set paid tribute to Avicii, featuring three key moments honoring the late Tim Bergling, who passed away in 2018. Conclusion Hardwell’s Throwback EDM set at Tomorrowland 2024 was a heartfelt homage to the classic sounds that defined a generation of festival-goers. His performance on the Freedom Stage showcased the timeless appeal of big room anthems and honored the legends of the genre. As fans look forward to his return to the Mainstage, they anticipate yet another memorable show from the Dutch superstar. Relive his set with this custom “Drops Only” video, below.

For years, Privilege hosted thousands of fans and dozens of superstars through some memorable nights. Nowadays, the space has been forgotten and turned into a ghost venue. However, after being granted a permit to be refurbished, a new project is underway to make this the biggest venue in the entire world. With a capacity of 15,000 thousand people, Ibiza might welcome a new club into its scene very soon. Privilege Ibiza: Part of the Islands History The club known as Privilege opened in Ibiza in 1975 in a location close to the village of Sant Rafael de Sa Creu under the name Ku Club. 20 years later it went through some reformations and came back to life until its closing in 2020. For many years, it hosted stars the size of Madonna and Freddy Mercury. The latter would record the video for his track ‘Barcelona’ inside Privilege. Defined as a super club, it could fit 10,000 people inside its 6500 square meter venue. Privilege Ibiza is set to become one of the biggest and most iconic clubs on the island where partying is almost a religion. With a main room the size of an aircraft hangar, there’s no doubt that Privilege will become one of the biggest spots in the scene sooner rather than later. The club has gone through its fair share of stages. It started as a restaurant with a swimming pool. Later, it became a popular gay club after being sold to a football player. One thing’s for sure. You will always find a good party when at Privilege. As the Spanish entertainment scene recovers from the consequences of the pandemic, more and more places, projects and parties appear. It is not easy to compete in such a thriving scene. However, the return of one of the greats is always a welcome sight. Privilege is back!

Faithless, the legendary electronic music group behind "Insomnia" and "God Is a DJ," have officially confirmed their highly anticipated return with the release of a brand-new single, "Find a Way." Known for their groundbreaking fusion of electronic beats with introspective and often profound lyrics, the group’s latest project continues their tradition of redrawing musical boundaries. Featuring the talents of spoken-word artist Suli Breaks, "Find a Way" serves as a vibrant precursor to the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, Champion Sound, blending infectious rhythms with a funky groove to showcase their renewed energy. Champion Sound promises a rich addition to the band’s stacked discography—a testament to their enduring creativity and innovation, even after the tragic loss of frontman Maxi Jazz in December 2022 to a long illness. The production of the new album is being led by core members and seasoned electronic music pioneers Sister Bliss and Rollo. The release was teased via an announcement on Faithless’ Instagram, but no date has been confirmed and details are still under wraps. Champion Sound follows the success of the band's previous album All Blessed, which released in 2020 after a decade-long hiatus and received widespread acclaim for its reflective sound. "As many of you have noticed, we’re back… Some shows have already been announced but we couldn’t start the summer without a little personal note," Bliss and Rollo wrote on Instagram back in April. "Maxi died just over a year ago and obviously we miss him every day. Thank you all for all of your kind words of support over this last year. It has really, really meant a lot." "In the meantime, we never stopped (couldn’t stop, never wanted to stop!) making music," the band continued. "Even during Maxi’s long illness we recorded and released 'All Blessed' and now finally, 8 years after our last live performance, we are returning to festival stages across the summer and are planning some of our own shows later this year…" View the original article to see embedded media. Musically, the upcoming album promises to continue this trajectory: a homage to the classic Faithless sounds that incorporates contemporary influences and reflects the dynamic landscape of electronic music. Champion Sound is rumored to feature a diverse range of guest artists, adding new dimensions and fresh perspectives to the album. Previous collaborations have included artists like Dido, whose ethereal vocals added a unique touch to tracks like "One Step Too Far"; and Estelle, who brought a soulful energy to "Why Go?." For those eager to experience the new Faithless sound live, their sold-out summer tour promises a thrilling return, featuring both beloved classics and new hits from Champion Sound alike. After a headlining performance at Glastonbury 2024, the album is sure to be an exciting new chapter in Faithless's storied career.
