Nicole Moudaber makes her highly anticipated debut on Eli Brown’s Arcane imprint with ‘I’ve Been Waiting for You’, a sultry, vocal-led techno anthem dripping with attitude. This latest release sees Moudaber slow the tempo but dial up the intensity with a deliciously chunky bassline and commanding vocal performance from MNENE, one half of the UK duo House of Molly. Widely known as one of the original rockstars of electronic music, Nicole Moudaber has shaped the global dance music scene for decades. From her influential label MOOD Records to her boundary-pushing events and acclaimed radio show, she’s a powerhouse dedicated to both her craft and championing women in music. Her latest creation is a celebration of hedonism, queerness, and glamour—brought to life by MNENE’s captivating vocals. The duo first teamed up on the hit ‘Slap Back’ via Higher Ground, and now they elevate their collaboration to new heights. Speaking about the release, Moudaber shared: “This is a special one for me. I played it as the outro during my visual show at Brooklyn Mirage: Ankh Unveiled last year and it really slapped, so I decided to make it into a full track. The vocals are from MNENE and they’re epic. I wanted to create some heavy, hard-hitting sounds that would really build this sense of magnificence.” The track opens with a jittery, rumbling percussion ensemble and oscillating low-end, building tension as MNENE’s vocals soar over the groove. Each drop evolves ruggedly, stripping back the vocals while the powerful bassline takes firm control, cruising relentlessly to a dramatic close. ‘I’ve Been Waiting for You’ marks the first of two singles from Moudaber on Arcane before summer’s end. If this release is any indication, the next one is already set to dominate the charts. Experience ‘I’ve Been Waiting for You’ below and let the hypnotic groove take hold.

As EDC Las Vegas kicks off today, the Victoria's Voice Foundation is stepping in with a proactive approach to festival safety by giving away naloxone, the nonprofit tells EDM.com. Victoria's Voice is hosting a pop-up from 10am to 3pm at the East Tower of the Westgate Las Vegas, where they'll be offering the opioid overdose reversal medication for free in their goal to combat overdose deaths at music festivals. Festivalgoers can pick up free doses of naloxone along with educational materials on how to administer it. The pop-up will also offer snacks and water for attendees heading into the weekend's festivities. Victoria’s Voice was founded by Jackie and David Siegel after the tragic 2015 loss of their daughter of the same name. The foundation has since has become a prominent national advocate for drug prevention and awareness. Today's pop-up is timely considering Nevada has seen a staggering 26% increase in drug overdose deaths, the second-highest nationwide spike behind only Alaska in a one-year period, according to recent CDC data. The initiative reflects a growing shift in the music industry's approach to harm reduction at EDM festivals. Insomniac Events has been at the forefront, teaming up with the nonprofit End Overdose on various initiatives, including training tens of thousands of EDC Las Vegas attendees at last year's festival. EDC, North America's largest electronic dance music festival, returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from May 16-18.

Alok and Łaszewo have joined forces with A$AP Rocky, sampling his track "HIGHJACK" and reimagining it as a high-energy dance anthem. If Rocky's darkly expressionistic original was a hostage situation, this new version is the adrenaline-fueled rescue mission. "HIGHJACK (right back)" strips its brooding hip-hop framework and rebuilds it for peak-hour club moments, dialing up the tempo for today's dancefloors. Originally nestled in smoky, downtempo soundscapes, Rocky's street-wise delivery now floats above Alok and Łaszewo's' kinetic four-on-the-floor beats. This careful blend transforms what could have been a jarring juxtaposition into a symbiotic relationship where his urban cool provides the perfect counterbalance to the production's frenetic energy. Łaszewo's synth work also stands out as particularly impressive here. The surging electro-pop group layers pulsing chords atop Alok's chugging bass, producing an arrangement that pops with both urgency and atmospherics. The original "HIGHJACK" dropped in August 2024 as the lead single from Rocky's long-awaited fourth studio album, Don't Be Dumb. The record will feature production from Swedish House Mafia, he revealed back in the summer of 2023. You can listen to "HIGHJACK (right back)" below.

Swedish producer Phatwell returns with ‘Keep Those Dreams’, a powerful and uplifting future bass track that blends emotional energy with an inspiring message. This isn’t just a dance song, it’s a heartfelt tribute to passion, perseverance, and the people who keep chasing their dreams no matter how hard the journey gets. Musically, ‘Keep Those Dreams’ is bright, catchy, and full of life. Its big synths, driving beat, and anthemic chorus are clearly inspired by artists like The Chainsmokers, something Phatwell openly acknowledges. “I truly believe The Chainsmokers are among the most brilliant songwriters in modern EDM,” he says. “Their ability to mix emotion with unforgettable hooks really shaped today’s sound, and that spirit inspired this track.” But what makes this release special is the personal story behind it. The song is dedicated to Oscar Gustafsson, also known as Sunmo, a close friend and one of the most talented producers Phatwell has worked with. Oscar represents what ‘Keep Those Dreams’ is really about: choosing passion over comfort, and believing in something bigger even when the odds are against you. “He’s one of those rare producers who not only masters the technical craft but pours his whole heart into every beat,” Phatwell says. The lyrics are simple but powerful, especially lines like “They say you gotta work, cause it’s impossible to make it / But working nine to five is highly overrated.” It’s a bold reminder that following your dreams often means going against the grain, and that’s okay. In a music world where success is never guaranteed, ‘Keep Those Dreams’ stands out as a reminder and a rallying cry—for artists, creatives, and anyone daring to follow their own path. Whether you’re on the dancefloor or just trying to get through a tough day, this track delivers both energy and encouragement. Because sometimes, the dream is the most real thing we have.

With more to share soon, he has tirelessly been working in the studio crafting his most ambitious project to date.

In February 2011, Nadia Ali together with Starkillers and Alex Kenji released ‘Pressure,’ a house record that attracted modest attention from the electronic dance music scene. Two months later, Alesso published his take on ‘Pressure,’ a track that took the progressive house genre to the next level. If the original was made to be played in venues such as nightclubs from Ibiza, Alesso’s version was made to drive crowds crazy at the biggest festivals in the world. Its build-up and euphoria captivated listeners quickly, premiering the song at the #1 spot on The Hype Machine and making it one of the most played records of the year. ‘Pressure’ was Alesso’s first hit, launching him in the mainstream environment of the industry. What happened after this is all history. Alesso went on to produce probably the most iconic track in the EDM hall of fame, with Sebastian Ingrosso, giving birth to the instrumental version of ‘Calling,’ which released in August 2011. The song received a vocal version in 2012, when Ryan Tedder sang the famous ‘Lose My Mind’ lyrics. In the meantime, ‘Pressure’ continued to make waves all over the world, making its way as well into the EDM hall of fame. To this date, it remains a staple in Alesso’s sets and pleases crowds at the greatest stages of famous festivals. Just around two months ago, the DJ played ‘Pressure’ at the 25th edition of Ultra Music Festival, inviting Nadia Ali to sing the record live at Bayfront Park. However, one of the more iconic moments of the song getting played is from Tomorrowland 2012, when the Swedish artist made his debut on the festival’s mainstage and got to play the remix live himself. In 2025, the song stays fresh as ever, with Alesso integrating it in his sets through different mashups or even just the original remix. Celebrate 14 years of this timeless ‘Pressure’ remix by Alesso, streaming the single below.

Today, iconic French electronic duo Polo & Pan has released the official music video for “A Different Side of Us.” The highlight track, part of Polo & Pan’s most recent album 22:22, features PawPaw Rod, the Hawaii-born, Oklahoma-raised rapper and singer. According to director Clovis Lamour, the music video “explores the hidden, strange, and elegant corners of our imagination. The video pays tribute to the hypnotic aesthetics of Busby Berkeley and Oskar Fischinger, through a geometric symphony built around circles, love and infinity. It’s a sensorial dive into the history of American cinema, inspired by the ultra-stylized musicals of the 1930s and 1940s. Over thirty carefully restored archival films intertwine, creating a visual loop where past and present engage in a constant dialogue. Like an abstract ballet, the video moves in sync with the music: shapes and lines align, scatter, and repeat in a kaleidoscopic choreography, echoing the concepts of synesthesia developed by Disney in Fantasia, where sound and image merge to become one.” Polo & Pan has had a year full of momentum. Following bucket list performances at Coachella and Red Rocks, the duo has announced new live dates across North and South America, beginning September 12 and running until November 12. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here. Watch The Music Video For “A Different Side of Us” ft.

Global dance music icon DJ Snake returns with his latest single, “Paradise”, out today — a fresh, genre-blending reimagining of Phil Collins’ timeless 1989 hit “Another Day in Paradise.” Innovatively bridging decades of musical influence, DJ Snake delivers a soulful, lo-fi house anthem that introduces the legendary track to a new generation of listeners. LISTEN TO “PARADISE” “Paradise” infuses the emotional gravity of Collins’ original with chill, R&B-leaning vocals, lush textures, and a nostalgic atmosphere. This latest hard-hitting track by DJ Snake feels both timeless and innovative, rooted in classic songwriting but fully alive in today’s dance music scene. The release comes shortly after DJ Snake’s historic sold-out show at Stade de France, where over 80,000 fans witnessed a historical moment in music. “Paradise” marks the first of a string of new releases building toward Snake’s highly anticipated upcoming album, ‘Nomad’, set to drop later this year. With a discography full of global hits and club staples, DJ Snake continues to evolve while blending genres, eras, and crossing boundaries with his own unique sound. “Paradise” is a bold step forward in what promises to be a landmark year. PRE-ORDER THE ‘NOMAD’ ALBUM HERE About DJ SNAKE Over the last decade , DJ Snake has achieved the kind of rarefied and wildly transformative success that few artists ever come close to attaining. Originally from a housing project on the outskirts of Paris, the multi-platinum-selling DJ/producer has shattered industry records with smash hits such as “Taki Taki,” earned diamond certification from the RIAA for “Lean On” (with Major Lazer), delivered era-defining bangers like “Turn Down for What” (with Lil Jon), and made history as the first artist to perform atop the roof of the Arc de Triomphe. Along with repeatedly turning out tracks that top the charts around the world—including four songs that have surpassed a staggering billion streams on Spotify—the multi-award-winning phenom brings his boundary-pushing ingenuity to music that builds unexpected and undeniably powerful bridges between vastly different cultures and genres.

Since the release of V Collection X, Arturia has dug even deeper than ever with its digital ambitions. Both the recently-reviewed KeyLab 88 MK3 and preceding AstroLab testify to this, pulling few punches when it comes to breaking Arturia software out of the computer and into the physical studio. Fair to say, those instruments’ affinity with V Collection extends to the degree that they only really come to life upon interfacing with those software instruments. READ MORE: Will GTA 6 change the way gamers discover music? The V Collection was introduced in 2005 as a modest collection emulating four classic synths (the Moog Modular, CS-80, ARP 2600 and Minimoog), and has since bloomed into a mighty catalogue of software instruments ranging from the Emulator II to the Vox Continental. By now we should take it as read that with each new edition, V Collection continues to grow apace. The latest, expansive iteration of the V Collection furnishes the suite with more instruments than ever— 45, to be exact. V Collection 11 doesn’t just add a spate of new emulations of existing hardware instruments (not to mention more of Arturia’s own hardware), it also presents a substantial helping of original Arturia design, not least substantiating and expanding the rapidly-growing Augmented range of instruments. New kids on the block Brand new to the Collection are the Synthx V emulation of the Elka Synthex polyphonic synth, the Jup-8000 V emulation of the Roland JP-8000 ‘Analogue Modelling’ synth, and a completely remodelled SEM V, itself based on the Oberheim SEM. Of these, I am particularly impressed by the Synthx V, whose 1980s Italian ancestor— widely regarded as a cheaper but comparable synth to the likes of the Sequential Prophet 10 and Oberheim OBXa— never sold particularly well in its own time. Massively deep, its dual layer architecture allows for the complex blending of sounds while remaining hugely versatile— not to mention massively wide in the stereo image if desired. It’s an instrument that translates brilliantly into the DAW. SEM V is another clear highlight of the emulations. The virtual synth is pre-existing in the Collection but here has been completely redesigned, similar to how the V Collection X overhauled the Mini V to boast better analogue modelling. Oberheim’s iconic Synthesizer Expansion Modules could be conjoined to make two-, four- or eight-voice systems, and of course here all that polyphony is realised behind just one SEM user interface. The Modules might be renowned for smoothness and warmth, with the gorgeous SEM filter at the heart of the matter, but I find all manner of colours on the palette with this satisfying and impeccably-modelled instrument, from chiming arpeggios to deep growling baselines. Arturia’s own You might be surprised to learn that when it comes to new emulations of classic instruments, the list ends there. Indeed, Arturia has markedly turned more of its attention inward, starting with an emulation of its own MiniBrute— first announced almost a year go— and an update to the MiniFreak V. MusicTech responded favourably to the MiniFreak V’s appearance in V Collection X, but that was arguably something of a shoo-in, what with the MiniFreak itself being a digital synth and therefore easily transposable into the DAW. The MiniBrute V, however, takes things a step further to tackle analogue Arturia. This, I’m pleased to report, it does remarkably well. The hardware MiniBrute, released in 2012, is a comparatively diminutive and simple monosynth but one full of grit and attitude, namely thanks to the ‘Brute Factor’ of its onboard distortion and its Steiner Parker filter design, which in a nutshell is smooth at the bottom and harsh at the top. That aggression and substance translate magnificently in the V, and allied with a simple interface also makes for a highly usable ‘go-to’ if you’re in need of a basic but powerful synth, which can now also work across eight-voice polyphony, to cover many bread-and-butter synth sounds. A new original instrument, Pure LoFi, also joins the Collection. This is a ‘low fidelity synthesiser’ with three different LoFi engine types and nine vintage hardware emulations. Not only does Pure LoFi offer a range of modulation, distortion and noise-based tools for crafting sounds, particularly enjoyable are its sampler engine options, with classics like the Akai MPC, Fairlight CMI, EMU SP1200, and even the cheap-as-chips Casio SK1 all in the offing. Augmented instruments Perhaps the biggest step V Collection 11 takes forward, though, is with the Augmented series, which here expands to seven different instruments, interpolating acoustic sample-based instruments with synthesis engines. Augmented Voices, Strings, Grand Piano, Brass, and Woodwind are joined by Yangtze and Mallets. Atop that, every one of those existing Augmented instruments has received updates to its layout, controls and workflow, with Strings and Voices getting significant expansions to their sample banks and preset libraries. Not bad at all. I enjoy Mallets’ gorgeously captured marimba, vibraphone, celeste and tubular bells, as well as its dynamic synthesis capabilities, but I’m mightily impressed by Yangtze, which boldly takes a raft of traditional Chinese instruments into the DAW, such as the bowed erhu, plucked pipa and xiao bamboo flute. Sonically beautiful and evocative, these sounds push the Augmented series into genuinely exciting territory; not only does it encourage producers to think beyond the components of the western orchestra when it comes to classical and traditional instrumentation, it also brings these instruments into contact with the electronic music domain in a natural and creative way, which is a huge achievement. Suffice to say, I hope to see more Augmented instruments taking cues from traditions around the world in the future. Sound ecology Let’s take a moment to reiterate the now-obvious: when it comes to all things Lab and V, the French developer is not simply building instruments in the way it is hardware, it is populating an ecosystem. All of V Collection’s instruments are available individually, but increasingly Arturia are focused on making its software instrument range a DAW-based environment all of its own, with a bespoke workflow spanning virtual instruments of all shapes and sizes. You might have noticed this edition of V Collection 11 is $100 more than the preceding V Collection X. Is it worth it? That depends on how you think about it: with six new instruments in the picture, that’s a modest $16 or so for each new addition. It’s fair to assume that Arturia has done its utmost to keep the V Collection’s price down, and overall, I still call it strong value for money. But the one-time purchase of the V Collection is less representative of the cumulative value of its individual instruments, as it is an investment in Arturia’s world (indeed, to buy all its instruments separately would increase its price by just under a factor of ten). This is perhaps best represented in Analog Lab, which allows users to hop between emulations to achieve sounds as breezily as one would between presets on a single synth. In this sense, the V Collection is worth far more than the sum of its parts. If I were being cynical, I’d say Arturia has an almost Apple-level knack for locking users into its ecology. ‘One canvas for infinite sonic exploration’ is how Arturia described V Collection X and, if V Collection’s 11th edition is anything to go by, one canvas the brand would like it to remain. But if I’m honest, the developer has not only created an enormous library of virtual instruments boasting top-tier quality, it has made navigating it so marvellously easy that after a while, I’d almost forgotten about my DAW’s other software instruments entirely. Key features 45 software instruments blending emulations, modern hybrid synth engines, modelled keyboards, and augmented acoustic sounds. 7 new instruments: Jup-8000 V, MiniBrute V, Synthx V, Pure LoFi, Augmented Mallets, and Augmented Yangtze Rebuilt SEM V Updated Augmented instruments Updated MiniFreak V The post Arturia’s V Collection 11 Pro almost made me entirely forget about my other plugins appeared first on MusicTech.

F1 THE ALBUM is racing toward the finish line with a soundtrack that puts electronic music in the driver’s seat. From Dom Dolla’s first-ever soundtrack release to Tiësto’s history-making Formula 1 performance, the campaign brings dance music energy to one of the year’s most anticipated films—Apple Original Films’ F1® THE MOVIE, starring Brad Pitt. F1 Accelerates with Dom Dolla’s First-Ever Soundtrack Contribution The latest drop from F1 THE ALBUM is Dom Dolla’s “No Room For A Saint” featuring Nathan Nicholson. It marks a new milestone for the Australian DJ and producer, who created the song after watching early cuts of the film with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The result is a cinematic, high-energy anthem built for the big screen. The single follows Dom Dolla’s sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and his headline set at Ultra Miami. It also marks his first collaboration with vocalist and songwriter Nathan Nicholson, adding another career highlight to his growing portfolio. F1 THE ALBUM: A Star-Powered Lineup of Global Superstars Produced by the team behind Barbie The Album, F1 THE ALBUM boasts 17 original tracks from artists across pop, rap, country, and electronic music. Alongside Dom Dolla, the album features Don Toliver, Doja Cat, ROSÉ, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Burna Boy, Roddy Ricch, Tiësto, and Peggy Gou. The campaign launched with Don Toliver and Doja Cat’s “Lose My Mind,” produced by Ryan Tedder and sampling the F1 Movie Theme by Hans Zimmer. The follow-up, “Messy” by ROSÉ, was met with critical acclaim, earning praise from Billboard as a “cinematic love ballad.” Together, the two singles have already surpassed 50 million global streams and views. Live From Miami: A Grand Prix Soundtrack Launch Like No Other The campaign shifted into overdrive during the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2025. Dom Dolla, ROSÉ, and Don Toliver headlined the official F1 THE ALBUM experience, transforming a VIP paddock into a full-scale APXGP movie garage. Attendees enjoyed racing simulators, memorabilia, and meet-and-greets with stars including Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, and Burna Boy. But the moment that stole the show belonged to Tiësto. He made Formula 1 history by performing twice on race day—first from the bridge above the starting grid, then from the podium after the trophy ceremony. Tiësto shared, “I’ve been a fan of F1 for a very long time and have performed and been involved with races on many occasions throughout the recent years, but this is the first time in partnership with F1 doing something of this magnitude! It’s going to be EPIC, and I cannot wait to party with all the race fans just before the race begins and then in celebration immediately following the race.” Dance Music Domination on the Official Tracklist Dance music dominates several key moments on the album. Dom Dolla’s new single leads the charge, while Tiësto teams up with Sexyy Red for “OMG!”. Peggy Gou brings her underground edge to “D.A.N.C.E.”, and PAWSA delivers “Double C”, rounding out a dynamic presence for electronic music fans. Full F1 The Album Tracklist: Don Toliver – Lose My Mind (feat. Doja Cat) Dom Dolla – No Room for A Saint (feat. Nathan Nicholson) Ed Sheeran – Drive Tate McRae – Just Keep Watching ROSÉ – Messy Burna Boy – Don’t Let Me Drown Roddy Ricch – Underdog RAYE – Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News Chris Stapleton – Bad As I Used To Be Myke Towers – Baja California Tiësto & Sexyy Red – OMG! Madison Beer – All At Once Peggy Gou – D.A.N.C.E PAWSA – Double C Mr Eazi – Attention Darkoo – Give Me Love Obongjayar – Gasoline June 27: F1 THE MOVIE and F1 THE ALBUM Hit the Finish Line With production led by Kevin Weaver, Brandon Davis, and Joseph Khoury at Atlantic Records, F1® THE ALBUM isn’t just another soundtrack—it’s a cultural power move. Tapping into today’s streaming-first music economy, film soundtracks have re-emerged as career-defining platforms for artists across every genre. Soundtracks like Barbie The Album and The Greatest Showman proved that music tied to major film franchises can reach audiences that playlists and algorithms can’t always guarantee. They offer artists global visibility, cross-industry credibility, and historical moments that go beyond chart positions. For DJs, producers, and electronic artists, landing a soundtrack placement today means more than radio play—it signals a seat at entertainment’s top table, alongside Hollywood’s biggest names. F1® THE ALBUM positions electronic music right at the center of pop culture’s fast lane, introducing club sounds to millions of new listeners through cinema, streaming, and live experiences. With Tiësto, Dom Dolla, and Peggy Gou leading the charge, this release celebrates electronic music not as a niche genre, but as a driving force in mainstream entertainment. Arriving worldwide on Friday, June 27, F1® THE ALBUM launches in tandem with the release of F1® THE MOVIE, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Both projects are set to redefine how music and film collide, making this more than just a soundtrack—it’s a pop culture event that artists can’t afford to ignore. Fans can now pre-order the upcoming album here. The post High Stakes, High BPM: Dom Dolla, Tiësto, Peggy Gou, and More Steer F1 THE ALBUM Into the Spotlight appeared first on EDMNOMAD.

The alchemy that transformed folk storytelling into timeless electronic music wasn't magic—it was Avicii. The late EDM icon's posthumous collection, Avicii Forever, bottles that transformative formula while adding one final precious element to the equation. Out today via Interscope, the retrospective compilation couples Avicii's defining catalog with "Let's Ride Away," a previously unreleased collaboration with Elle King. Her vocals about finding one's place hang heavy as an aching statement from an artist who struggled to find his: "It's in the sky, it's in the air / If I get lost, I'll meet you there / We can't stop 'til we find our place / Let's saddle up and ride away." However, his production remains unmistakably uplifting, true to form for the Swedish dance music legend. The track's anthemic drop features a stentorian horn section that delivers the vintage Avicii catharsis that launched countless festival moments. "Let's Ride Away" represents one of Bergling's final creative endeavors prior to his tragic 2018 death by suicide at the age of 28. Elsewhere on Avicii Forever, fans can fire up the nostalgia machine through the stadium-filling euphoria of "Levels" and the country-tinged flair of "Wake Me Up," among other generational dance anthems. The full compilation features 19 tracks. Avicii Forever arrives through a collaborative effort between Bergling's estate and Pophouse Entertainment, which in 2022 acquired 75% of his recording and publishing rights. It marks another chapter in the investment firm's ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate his contributions, which defined a generation of electronic dance music. Pophouse is also currently developing a musical about Avicii, whose life was the subject of a recent high-profile intimate Netflix film. Another documentary from the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lawrence Bender is currently in production and will feature "previously unreleased footage" recorded around the time of Bergling's discovery and rise to fame. You can listen to Avicii Forever below and find the new release on streaming platforms here.
