DJ with Apple Music is now available for download on Serato’s website for both Serato DJ Lite and Serato DJ Pro. Users will be able to explore a dedicated DJ with Apple Music category page, featuring curated DJ playlists and editorials. As part of the integration, Serato has launched a curator page on Apple Music, showcasing artist playlists and DJ mixes from renowned DJs such as ZEEMUFFIN, DJ Miss Milan, Nick Cheo, DJ Puffy, Jasmine Solano, and Kizzi. It also includes specially curated playlists designed for DJs to incorporate into their sets. Check out Serato’s curator page on Apple Music here.

[EDM.com] Apple Music's New DJ Integration Is a Game-Changer for the Art of Mixing
The age of carrying crates of vinyl or hoarding USBs might not be dead, but Apple Music just gave DJs a reason to leave them at home. The streaming giant today announced the launch of DJ with Apple Music, a sweeping integration with leading DJ software and hardware platforms that gives DJs direct access to its catalog of over 100 million songs. The update represents a major leap for performance technology, embedding Apple's streaming muscle into platforms like Serato, AlphaTheta and inMusic's Engine DJ, and continuing its early alliance with Algoriddim's djay Pro. And for DJs, it means that the barrier between inspiration and execution just got a whole lot thinner. "Apple Music is committed to supporting DJs," said Stephen Campbell, Apple Music's Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes. "This innovation brings the full power of Apple Music into the creative workflow, making it easier than ever for DJs to access, play and discover music in real time." With no need to download tracks individually or rely on third-party storage, Apple Music users can mix directly from the cloud, using curated playlists and new DJ-friendly categories. It’s a significant shift that could speed up set prep, reduce file management headaches and allow for more responsive, in-the-moment mixing. For Apple Music, the launch is a natural evolution of its DJ-centric strategy. Since the debut of Apple Music DJ Mixes in 2021 and the subsequent global radio rollout of Apple Music Club in late-2024, the company has steadily positioned itself as a champion of the DJ format. Now, it's closing the gap between mix consumption and creation. With just a subscription and a controller, users can now rehearse, refine and reimagine their sets from anywhere. Yoshinori Kataoka, AlphaTheta's President and CEO, characterized DJ with Apple Music as "a significant step forward in making DJing more accessible." Discover DJ with Apple Music here.

[EDM House Network] Madeon Announces ‘Next Era’ Will Begin At Red Rocks
In December of 2023 Madeon decided to take 2024 as a gap year to finish making his new album and to design a new live show. Throughout last year he has continued to tease this ‘Next Era’ and now fans have finally been given a date for when it begins as Madeon will be heading to Red Rocks on October 3rd, 2025. The last few years haven’t seen much in the way of new music from Madeon, but at last after over a year of hinting there’s light at the end of the tunnel. As to what this ‘Next Era’ is going to sound like there is very little to go off but for the fact that he has said that it’s a 7-letter word that describes this era. This has led to a great deal of speculation from fans including the possibility of it being a ‘Dubstep Era’ which would be an interesting turn from Madeon. Not only is there going to be new music, but there will also be a whole new live show introduced at the historic Red Rocks. Madeon is well known for having incredibly detailed and immersive live shows with his last trip to Red Rocks in 2023 being a great example of his stunning visuals. The anticipation for what this new live show might bring is already through the roof and to debut it at such a spectacular and effervescent venue should elevate the experience even further. It’s been a long wait for Madeon fans to see him make his return and now it’s only a few months till what is going to be a legendary performance. New live show, new album, new era, same Madeon.

[GrooveCartel] Listen to Midnight Pass x Koresma ‘Kinetic’
There are songs that just sound good and songs that take you somewhere else. “Kinetic,” the new song by Austin-based band Midnight Pass and producer Koresma (Ryan Herr), is definitely in the second group. The song is a dreamy journey with lots of guitars. It makes me think of watching the sun go down from a remote tropical beach, where time slows down and the world turns soft shades of gold and violet. From the very first notes, Koresma’s signature guitar playing is clear: ethereal, resonant, and easily memorable. “Kinetic” flows like a slow-motion wave when paired with Midnight Pass’s lush, spacious production. It mixes organic instruments with delicate computer flourishes. The echoed vocal chops give the track a personal, almost nostalgic feel, as if it were reminiscing about sunny times long ago. The song strikes a magical balance between calm and moving forward; true to its name, it feels both peaceful and alive. Logan and Michael of Midnight Pass, along with Ryan, make a soundscape that is both big and personal, like a postcard from a place you’ve never been to but remember. “Kinetic” is a short, beautiful escape for anyone who has ever wished they could feel the calm awe of a perfect sunset again. Put your eyes closed, hit play, and let it take you away. The post Listen to Midnight Pass x Koresma ‘Kinetic’ appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

[EDM House Network] 10 Most Iconic Melodies In Electronic Music
Insomnia – Faithless Amazingly ‘Insomnia’ was only the second single that Faithless ever released and they managed to break out with a chart killer. Reaching number 1 in Finland, Norway, and Switzerland, as well as topping the American and Canadian dance charts it made for an incredible start to the bands career. ‘Insomnia’ oozes pedigree featuring possibly the best known melody in electronic music along with the equally unforgettable vocals from the late Maxi Jazz. ‘Insomnia’ has made it onto just about every top 10, 20, 50, or 100 list of best electronic tracks and for good reason. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t recognise the unbeatable melody. Kernkraft 400 – Zombie Nation A German techno classic, ‘Kernkraft 400’ gave the world one of the most recognisable melodies of all time which has echoed around arenas, pitches, and festivals all around the world. The melody was originally from a track called ‘Stardust’ from the Commodore 64 game ‘Lazy Jones’ which through the creative remixing of Zombie Nation became the track we know and love today. For 26 years ‘Kernkraft 400’ has been a massive part of the sports world taking on a life as a hugely popular chant even being named in the ‘Top 10 Stadium Anthems’ by Sports Illustrated. The song alone is legendary, but when thousands of people are chanting along it just gets even better. L’Amour Toujours – Gigi D’Agostino If you were to mention the genre of euro pop to someone it’s almost certain that the first thing to pop into their head will be the timeless melody of ‘L’Amour Toujours.’ Reaching number one in Denmark, The Netherlands, and Romania its popularity continued to grow as 2 years after its initial release it cracked into the US Billboard Hot 100 at 78. Since then, the song has cemented itself as a club classic with a melody that never gets old and has continued to get crowds everywhere hyped up while amassing over half a billion Spotify streams. Better Off Alone – Alice Deejay ‘Better Off Alone’ is a joyful eurodance classic with an unfortunately sad sentiment behind its lyrics. Originally released as an instrumental by DJ Jurgen it would later be updated with lyrics from Judith Pronk that built upon the songs marvellous melody. The idea for the lyrics came from one of the members of the Alice Deejay project, Sebastiaan Molijn, who had recently been left by his partner leading to the line ‘Do you think you’re better off alone?’. After lighting up the charts in 1997 those unmistakable notes made a return to the charts in David Guetta’s 2013 reimagining of the track ‘Play Hard.’ Pjanoo – Eric Prydz As one of the titans of electronic music it’s no surprise that Eric Prydz is on this list and of course it had to be ‘Pjanoo.’ While it’s become considered legendary today it was initially almost a song that was lost to time as Eric Prydz debuted the track in 2006 to a poor reception leading to him abandoning it. Thankfully a couple years later after discovering the CD of it while DJing he decided to give it another shot, and the crowd loved it. Soon after ‘Pjanoo’ got its official release and hit the charts around the world even earning a number 1 in the UK Dance Chart. Levels – Avicii 8x Platinum in Sweden, triple platinum in the UK, and triple platinum in the US. These are statistics you can only attribute to an all-time great track of which ‘Levels’ is. Prior to its release Avicii was gathering momentum with a string of hugely popular remixes, but it was ‘Levels’ that accelerated that momentum drastically as it took the world by storm. It reached the top 10 in the charts across most of the world and has since cracked the billion-stream marker on Spotify. There’s not a single country on earth where you could play ‘Levels’ and not get people excited and jumping about which shows how widespread the love for Avicii is. Adagio For Strings – Tiesto In 1936 when Samuel Barber wrote ‘Adagio For Strings’ he of course had no concept of what trance music is nor could he have imagined how big his song would become in the world of dance music. Almost 70 years after it was originally written Tiesto took this very literal classic and flipped it into an instant trance classic that rocketed him to stardom. Going platinum in the UK, reaching number 1 in Hungary, and hitting number 4 in the US Billboard Hot Dance Singles chart it was a massive hit that has only grown in stature since. The unmistakable melody earnt Tiesto worldwide recognition and remains one of his best pieces of work. Voodoo People – The Prodigy While originally made by The Prodigy, ‘Voodoo People’ has become an iconic song for two bands as it was later remixed by Pendulum into an equally brilliant drum & bass banger. Released as the third single on the amazing ‘Music for the Jilted Generation’ album it quickly became a hit building upon the already rapidly growing reputation of The Prodigy. ‘Voodoo People’ is a haven of creative sampling that you can dig into for days and still keep finding more things you didn’t notice before. The anticipation for the melody is palpable throughout the song and oh so satisfying when it hits. Show Me Love – Robin S It’s hard to believe that it’s been 35 years since the release of Robin S’ amazing house hit ‘Show Me Love’ which has lost none of its popularity over that time. Reaching number 1 on Billboard’s US Dance Club Songs chart as well as topping the UK Dance Chart, it was a goliath of a hit that put the name Robin S on the map. Whatever festival, rave, or nightclub you might go to you can count on the fact that you will hear that iconic melody that’s been getting people dancing throughout the decades. Its success upon release was unexpected as house wasn’t mainstream at the time, but ‘Show Me Love’ smashed into the charts and helped pave the way for houses popularity today. Riverside – Sidney Samson ‘Riverside’ is the crowning jewel in Sidney Samson’s repertoire of legendary music with a melody you could loop for days without getting bored, and the undoubtably iconic drop vocal, “Riverside Motherf****r.” ‘Riverside’ has taken on many forms including the vocal mix ‘Riverside (Let’s Go)’ featuring Wizard Sleeve, ‘Riverside (Reloaded)’ in collaboration with Tujamo, and Oliver Heldens’ take on it ‘Riverside 2099.’ Each has found great success with ‘Riverside (Let’s Go)’ being the most well-known reaching number 2 in the UK and continuing to get clubs rocking. Honourable Mentions Sandstorm – Darude Animals – Martin Garrix Mammoth – Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Right Here Right Now – Fatboy Slim Axel F – Crazy Frog Blue (Da Ba Dee) – Eiffel 65, Gabry Ponte

Watch “HOTBOX” by Lil Nas X
Upon returning from my vacation in Norway, I couldn’t help but wonder if Raj, who generously took the reins updating the blog during my absence, had shared his thoughts on the “Hotbox” video, the latest offering from Lil Nas X. Especially since it’s no surprise that this multi-platinum, chart-topping, and award-winning artist has once again captured the internet’s attention. He boldly embraces his pink era, yet manages to put a unique twist on it that stands far apart from the traditional twee princess Barbie representation of pinkness. His distinctive flair makes it impossible not to admire his artistry. Kicking off his new “Dreamboy” era. Lil Nas X has spontaneously burst onto the scene sharing an exhilarating wave of new tracks that invite fans to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of sound. Each new song is designed to elevate listeners’ audio experiences through an exploration of joy and self-affirmation. With every beat, he encourages everyone to unapologetically embrace their true selves, making space for authenticity and expression. This era showcases him as the most confident, buoyant, and carefree version of himself. Notably with the intention to similarly inspire others to revel in their uniqueness and live life to the fullest. Launching the “Dreamboy” era, Lil Nas X captivates audiences with the official “Hotbox” video directed by Elias Talbot. He brings a bold splash of colour to everything from a boxing ring to a striking fuchsia-hued swimming pool. The visual extravaganza showcases numerous wardrobe changes. Including a standout moment where the American rapper, singer, and songwriter channels nostalgia in a candy pink, Transformers-inspired Autobot suit. As he invites fans to immerse themselves in his vibrant world, Lil Nas X encourages everyone to fuel their audio senses and join the celebration. Similarly, this vibrant and coordinated celebration of pink flamboyance is an unforgettable spectacle that I simply cannot overlook. Above all it embodies a joyous expression of creativity and individuality. In addition I’ve received reliable information that we should eagerly anticipate even more exciting and groundbreaking developments from the DREAMBOY era. These will arrive shortly!, so stay tuned, as there’s much to look forward to!

[EDMTunes] EDMTunes Chats With SiriusXM’s Geronimo Ahead of MMW
As we gear up for Miami Music Week 2025—the premier electronic music festival in North America—exciting opportunities abound. We had a fantastic chat with Geronimo, the Vice President of Music Programming at SiriusXM, who shared insights about the week ahead. If you’re heading to Miami for Music Week or the Ultra Music Festival, don’t miss out on the chance to participate in captivating audience events that will make your experience unforgettable. This is your chance to immerse yourself in the heart of electronic music culture—don’t miss out! Here’s an exclusive preview of our chat with SiriusXM as we anticipate an incredible Miami Music Week. Chat with SiriusXM Ahead of MMW Hi I am Scott from EDMTunes and I am live with Geronimo who is getting ready for a big Miami Music Week. So tell us a bit about what you have in store. Hi! Each year we try to do up close and personal performances from DJs and usually an interview is included in that. It’s all curated by real humans. This year we are super excited to have a take over on one of the channels by LP Giobbi and her crew. We also just secured Major Lazer to do an event in our studios with all three members. We have a couple major names that are a surprise and can’t be announced until they are on. There are probably another 20 performances and maybe more with interviews as well. Wow, that’s amazing. It’s SiriusXM’s 21st year being involved with Music Week. Does it feel like time’s flying by or what? I didn’t realize how fast it flew by until the pandemic when Music Week didn’t happen. We had to do a virtual version of Ultra Music Festival on air. Right after that, I realized how much I missed it. And I must say it’s blown by even faster since then. Will you guys at SiriusXM be live streaming any parties or Ultra sets this year? We don’t have a partnership with Ultra this year. However, since we opened up our Miami Studios, I think a little less than three years ago, we’ve focused on having artists come by here. Prior to that, we had our own parties at the W or the 1 Hotel. With the studios we really wanted to capitalize on being right there on the beach amongst all the parties and having artists come by. Tell us more about the studio. Whereabouts is it? If audience members want to get involved, how can they do that? We always want our fans there. So you can just follow us at SiriusXM socials, to sign up, where we solicit for people, listeners, and subscribers to enter. A drop-down pops up where they can enter and put their names for various shows. There is also a slot where they can write in what they want to attend if they don’t see what they like. The placement is limited because we try to keep the experience intimate. It’s something you really couldn’t get anywhere else. It’s almost like Boiler Room style but even more intimate than that. It’s 50 people or less. So this kicks off on Wednesday night with what looks like a SiriusXM chill event with Nora En Pure, and it’s an audience event right? You have BPM, Diplo’s Revolution and Pitbull’s Globalization in the mix too right? Yes we do! Being that is Mr 305’s channel, they always have a strong presence during Miami Music Week. It’s not just on the Latin side, it’s a little bit of everything on this channel, which is great for everybody. It is great for listeners and I love the fact that we can share the across the platform with other channels. As somebody who’s kind of a purveyor of electronic music, you know that Miami Music Week is kind of the debut of what’s going to be big for the coming year. So do you have any predictions on some banger tracks that we’re going to be hearing non-stop this week? I just got off an internal discussion about this. I feel like the rave house style is about to blow up. It’s going to be the sound of summer. The jigitz track ‘tell you straight’, big party banger and will pop up in a lot of sets. Do you have any party or event that you’re looking out for as one of the biggest ones to be at this week? Anything Black Book with Chris Lake, I am loving that sound. Chris I feel like is one of the best to ever do it. And probably didn’t get enough credit and now is finally getting the credit where it’s due. So I am super excited about anything Black Book Records, Chris Lake. And of course Experts Only, John Summit. He’s just a mammoth. We do internal research and nobody’s been bigger for the last three years than John Summit. And he can probably form his own religion in Miami at this point. Scott – Yeah, as a local in Miami that party sold out pretty much instantly. Even his management was like “I have you down but I’ll let you know it’s touch and go right now” because they’re limited with capacity. And also anything LP Giobbi does, I just love. Her vibe of women empowerment, it’s definitely an area over the years that was lacking in electronic music and she really kicked the door down. And done a great job for herself and women DJs in general. Scott – It’s been really interesting to see the growth of female DJs in the scene, especially when you see the house and techno world, where they have a very healthy representation. They’re killing it. Years ago you could go to an event, there would not be one female DJ. It’s exciting years later it is finally happening. It’s not forced, it’s legitimately earned and it’s exciting to see that side of the industry that was aligned unfairly. As somebody who has been doing Music Week for many years and has been in the EDM scene from its golden age to now, what are some of the most memorable Miami Music Week moments from a cultural standpoint? I’ve seen Diplo many times over the years and we have a channel with him. But if there is anybody who loves the culture of music and dance music in general it’s that guy. And he is so smart with catering to whatever audience he has, whether it’s a daytime pool party, a nighttime party and you know a four in the morning. He is just a genius music curator. I’ve learned over the years from Diplo’s Revolution how important it is to him and how active he is with the channel. He’s got great people around him, but he himself is amazing at curating the channel and a day or night party. I’ve seen that over the years, I’ve seen him go from Open format DJing to specific styles to performing at Coachella and doing EDM and country style music. But also legends like Carl Cox , who year over year seem to reinvent themselves. Armin van Buuren, who you’d think by now is tired of playing Ultra. But he’s not. It’s such an important event, you touched on it earlier how every year this is sort of the beginning. And it’s exciting for me as a music lover and a dance music fan? What’s going to be big? I touched upon jigitz earlier but years ago, seeing Avicii at Ultra perform a country music set and I remember the look on people’s faces.. “wait what’s this? I have no idea what it is and it grew and it worked. So it’s just a matter of some artists having the guts to go up on stage and be a little different. Is there anything else from SiriusXM you would like to plug before we go? Reminder for all our readers to listen to SiriusXM all this week. And if you’re in Miami during Music Week, go on and sign up to try and go to the live audience performances and head on over South Beach and see it yourself. Our studio is street level, its right across the 1 Hotel, you can’t miss it. There is a big SiriusXM on the building, and that’s where our big party will be pumping. Thanks all!

[EDMTunes] Afterlife Festival Canceled in Mexico City Under Mysterious Circumstances
Just when we thought there was a glimmer of hope for a continuation of Afterlife, the brand is again thrown into uncertainty and turmoil. To much fanfare, Afterlife announced that it would host two different 2-day festivals in Barcelona and Mexico City. These Afterlife Festivals would not feature Tale of Us but would feature one day curated by Anyma and another day curated by MRAK. Today, Zamna announced that the Mexico City edition of the Afterlife Festival was being canceled due to “unforeseen technical and licensing issues with the venue”. There was unfortunately no alternative plan or reschedule mentioned. However, this venue has hosted Afterlife events before, so we can’t help but wonder whether the idea of Afterlife continuing live events in this disjointed fashion will be workable at all. At this time, the Barcelona dates remain on the calendar, so let’s hope those go off smoothly. In this new era, Anyma and MRAK are moving in different directions, both musically and business-wise. This means that contractual entanglements may make it difficult to hold these events while the two label heads remain at odds. We don’t know why this happened, but after the hype surrounding the new Afterlife era, this is certainly a big setback. Tickets will be automatically refunded.

[EDM House Network] BBC Releases Documentary Diving Into UK’s Dying Nightlife
It’s a well known fact that the UK nightlife scene has been suffering in recent years. Now the BBC have released a documentary ‘Nightclubs: Is The Party Over?’ which offers a look into why clubs are shutting, and what could be done to save them. The statistics are truly shocking as since 2020, 419 clubs have shut down which is a third of all clubs in the UK caused in large part by the impact of COVID. The big problem clubs are facing today is money as running costs are rising, which means drinks costs go up, leading to people not being able to afford to go out. In a recent study 68% of people said that the state of the economy has reduced how much they go out to clubs. ‘Nightclubs: Is The Party Over?’ shines a light on these issues and provides the perspective of club owners, clubgoers, and DJs to give a better understanding of how clubs shutting affects their lives. Through these perspectives you start to see how the situation has become so dire, but also that there are some glimmers of hope as the documentary looks at some successful clubs and how they’re staying afloat. It also addresses how this decline in nightclubs is affecting young DJs in being able to get their careers started as it’s the smaller clubs that are suffering the most. If the decline of nightclubs continues on the same trajectory, then it is predicted that by 2029 all nightclubs in the UK will be gone. This makes it critical that people are aware of the problem and that there are ways to stop this, and this documentary does a great job at explaining it all.

[EDMTunes] [Interview] OKAYVAL Discusses Going Viral, Social Media, And ‘Techno Sh’
Sometimes, one little reel or short-format video is all it takes to give you a head start into stardom. However, it takes dedication, planning, and follow-through, to continuously ride the wave and use your platform the most effective way. This is just one of the many intricate things we learnt about the up-and-coming DJ and producer OKAYVAL. The Florida-based artist has taken House music by storm with her newest track ‘Techno Sh’. Her sound portrays infectious, dark grooves and heavy basslines. Moreover, her social media presence resonates with her audience, launching her career to new heights. We had a chance to speak with OKAYVAL and discuss her artist career, latest track, and what else she has going on for the rest of the year. How has the power of social media impacted your music career thus far? It has changed everything for me. It brought so many opportunities when it comes to labels and the back-end of the music industry. As well as allowing me to build a community. Now my fans know me through social media and they’re able to discover more of me and my music. It has changed my life completely. How has social media changed the panorama for edm artists across the world? Artists are getting discovered more, yet it has its pros and cons. I know a lot of artists say: “Well, now I have to share videos and stories on social media about my music”. They would rather spend that time in focusing on their music and producing instead. But I think it’s a good opportunity for new artists and current artists to put themselves out there. I understand how tedious it can be worrying about going viral and being consistent. But I also see the opportunities to grow and build a bigger fanbase, and bring new eyes into your brand. What’s an important element in marketing artists can focus on outside of social media? I would say mostly building relationships. Getting yourself out there and meet people in the industry, other artists, play pop-up shows. I’m seeing a lot more pop-up out there, they’re super hot right now and I want to start playing them as well. They feel super close and personal. If you’re not a big social media person, I feel that you can start creating those bonds with different artists, gather their support, and play a lot locally. That will help you will be building a fan base. Like, hey I saw OKAYVAL at this random show and really liked her. And we saw you’re staying busy right now, with pop-up shows, your own headlining shows, and opening up for Louis the Child recently? Yes I did, I was with AM Radio (that’s Steve Cardigan) for a pop-up, they usually do plenty of them in LA. This time, they brought it to Austin, TX and it was crazy. There was a line outside at 10am to see us play and the crowd was amazing. It was the first time I ever did something like that. So, that’s why I think pop-up shows are the next big thing. How have your Colombian roots influence your music? Actually, I haven’t got the chance to do more Spanish vocals or like Latin-House as OKAYVAL, which I want to do soon. Growing up, my mom used to listen to House and Techno all the time, but it was like David Guetta, Tiesto. That’s why I like the harder, darker side of House. As of right now I haven’t included any of those roots yet but I will be soon. Your mom is a former raver, do you go out to raves together? We haven’t partied together like that yet. But I am really excited because I have an upcoming show in NY and she will be seeing me perform live for the first time. I’ve been wanting to take her to shows for a while. But I think it’ll be super special when I get to take her to big events like Ultra or Tomorrowland when I play there. You also won the Insomniac’s Discovery Project for Project Glow, can you walk us through that experience? So honestly, I didn’t remember submitting the mix. Like, I knew i had done it but i had totally forgot about it because I was so busy and focused on other things. I was sitting on my couch and got a call from an LA number but I didn’t answer thinking it was a spam call. Then, they left me a voicemail from Insomniac and I called them immediately. I couldn’t believe it, Nostalgix was the special judge and i really look up to her career and her success. I ended up playing in Denver the night before then went straight to DC to play at Project Glow. Moreover, I was super nervous since it was my first time playing on a big stage, but Insomniac treated me so well and they were super accommodating. I ended up releasing a song with them shortly after, so that was a pretty cool experience. Your newest track ‘Techno Sh’ has blown up and it reached #1 on the Beatport Electronica, how are you feeling right now? I wasn’t expecting it to blow so hard. Yes, I knew it was a special song and there was a lot of hype behind it. But I have other viral videos with past songs and I thought those songs would do great back then. This time around, the audience response felt so genuine and powerful. I went into it with no expectations, but now it’s going super well, and people message me telling me how much they love the track. What’s the story behind ‘Techno Sh’? It used to sound so different when I first started it. It used to be called ‘Slap”. I worked with a very talented vocalist who writes as well. And when he came up with the ‘Techno Sh’ vocals I knew that was the way to go. I feel the lyrics are the big drivers of the song. How will you carry the momentum of this track into this coming year? I’m working on tons of new music, I want to keep releasing more tracks consistently. I did switch from more melodic into darker tech-house now, so i have finally found my sound. I want to release more songs and play more gigs to continue to build that relationship with the fans. That’s our six month plan at least, but I’m super excited. You have plenty of shows coming up, how are you preparing yourself? I just sit down and listen to a lot of music. Yes I play my music but i also love playing tracks from up and coming artists. I also like to keep up the energy, since i feed up the crowd’s energy. I like to put myself on the dancefloor and envision how the crowd will react to my set list. Go support OKAYVAL on her social media and her upcoming shows, as well as her newest single ‘Techno Sh’.
