Two years felt like forever, but GRiZ's new EP proves the funkstep icon was just recharging his batteries for a comeback for the ages. Timed perfectly with the buzz around his Seven Stars festival, GEMiNI is a compact yet potent showcase of his genre-blending prowess, a sonic love letter to fans who've been jonesing for that signature GRiZ fix. The project aptly reflects its astrological namesake, presenting dual musical personalities that showcase his range while reminding us why his return to the electronic music community is worth celebrating. Kicking off with "Found Your Love," we're plunged into a bass-heavy vortex laced with soulful vocals and GRiZs signature, shimmering sax riffs. Next, "Take Me Home" ropes in Grabbitz, whose emo-tinged pleas ("All my broken parts scattered on their own") ride a tidal wave of anthemic drops. "2-step Nassau" slinks into darker territory, delivering a nasty deep dubstep track with bass stabs that slither through the mix like vipers. GRiZ then closes out the EP with "Til the Color Fades," dialing up the dubstep noir with a woozy, shadowy banger. In other GRiZ news, he recently revealed his own music festival, Seven Stars, and its inaugural lineup. The event, which he called his "first full-blown music festival," is scheduled for October 10-12 in Arrington, Virginia and will feature Subtronics, Levity, Of The Trees, Daily Bread, ALLEYCVT and many more. GEMiNI is available only on Apple Music at the time of this writing. You can listen to the new EP here.

‘Without You’ by Giuseppe Ottaviani is a trance track that features a powerful vocal performance by Adriana Stone. It follows the sucess of four other tracks, ‘Find You’, ‘We Are Free’, ‘Dust’, and ‘Who We Are’. We see its release on Armada Music. A core element of OTTAGON is the fusion of trance and melodic techno where he debuted it at Dreamstate SoCal last year. He played 12 new OTTAGON tracks now slowly being released tune by tune until the full album drops in May 2025. ‘Without You’ has a fast tempo and a catchy melody, as it builds to a powerful climax. The track couples with a pulsating bassline, intricate synth work, evocative vocals. The lyrics sing about the pain of losing someone you love with the hope that you will one day be together again. Reviews of the track highlight its emotional and powerful nature. Ottaviani is recognized as a leading figure in trance music, and Stone’s vocal performance is highly regarded. So naturally, the duo paired well together for this tune. Giuseppe Ottaviani’s “OTTAGON” project started in 2024 and marks a significant evolution in his musical journey. The alias allows him to explore deeper connections between the two genres. This signifies a move towards a sound that combines the emotional depth of trance with the driving rhythms of techno. It is a project where he is taking musical risks, and providing his fans with something new. “What I love about Armada is that I finally have a strong, passionate, and super professional team around me that is helping me develop as an artist. Everything is super smooth and easy, which is why I was able to make the OTTAGON music in such a short time. My journey with Armada has just started, and we’re looking forward to a bright future together.” – Giuseppe Ottaviani, 1001Tracklists Interview About OTTAGON OTTAGON performances feature an innovative live setup surrounding him on a 4×4 meter riser placed in front of the static DJ booth. The initial idea consisted of a 360° setup to be placed in the middle of the dance floor to move around and face people while playing the keyboards. However, Giuseppe decided the concept would only be available for festivals and not for clubs. The setup proved a challenge for festival grounds. Eight keyboards connect to his computer and allow him to assign any sound to any keyboard. This makes it easy to switch from one sound to another. Cameras placed all around the OTTAGON stage showcase what he can do on the big LED wall along with brand-new dedicated visuals. Giuseppe is surely keeping his commitment to innovation and his desire to push the boundaries of electronic music. Listen to ‘Without You’ now on all streaming platforms.

As part of a new leadership transition, Warner Music Group (WMG) has announced that its President of Recorded Music and Publishing in Benelux, Niels Walboomers, will take up an expanded role that sees him responsible for Spinnin’ Records. Ewout Swart, Spinnin’ Records’ Co-President, is stepping down after 16 years at the company. He joined the company in 2009 as a Royalties Manager. Swart worked his way up to Chief Operating Officer in 2016, and then Co-President in 2023. This follows Roger De Graaf stepping down as Co-President in November 2024. Graaf completed 25 years of incredible service to the company that he co-founded. With new leadership, we’re helping Spinnin’ Records write an exciting new chapter for its artists and better connect the label to Benelux’s recorded music and publishing businesses. Niels has gone from strength to strength since joining WMG, and with his recent work with Spinnin’ Records, it was an easy decision to expand his role. He’s connected with the very best dance talent and in the last year made two big new signings at WCM in superstar DJs CYRIL and Mau P. I also want to thank Ewout for everything that he’s done for the label over many years, and I wish him all the best for the future Simon Robson, President of EMEA Recorded Music, WMG Spinnin’ Records will continue to operate independently of WM Benelux. Niels will be working closely with Jorn Heringa to cover the label’s A&R activities. Roger De Graaf and Eelko van Kooten founded Spinnin’ in 1999. The company became part of Warner Music Group in 2017, when van Kooten stepped down. Spinnin’ has helped launch and nurture the careers of many of the biggest names in dance. These include Afrojack, Cheat Codes, CYRIL, Don Diablo, Fedde Le Grand, Gabry Ponte, Lum!x, Kriss Kross Amsterdam, KSHMR, Martin Garrix, Martin Solveig, Nicky Romero, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt, Sander van Doorn, Timmy Trumpet and Tiësto. I want to thank Ewout, as he and the label’s co-founders, Roger and Eelko, worked incredibly hard to get it to where it is today, alongside the brilliant Jorn Heringa, and Bart Cools who has been involved with the label since it was acquired. Spinnin’ boasts an incredibly talented team with a globally acclaimed roster, so I’m excited to see how we can take the label to the next level Niels Walboomers, President, Records and Publishing, Benelux, WMG Spinnin’ is also home to a number of artist-led sub-labels, such as Alok’s Controversia, Blasterjaxx’s Maxximize, David Guetta’s Future Rave, Kream’s Liquid Lab, KSHMR’s Dharma, Tiësto’s Musical Freedom, Timmy Trumpet’s Sinphony, Ummet Ozcan’s OZ records and many more. Most recently, Spinnin’ Records was responsible for the biggest breakthrough in dance in 2024 by taking CYRIL from a new signing to over 1.5 billion streams to date. Spinnin’ reaches huge numbers of dance fans through its online channels, with more than 31 million subscribers on YouTube and almost four million followers on Instagram.

EDM isn't just for the club-hoppers or festival warriors—turns out, it's also the genre of choice for many senior citizens. A new study by Carewell, a leading online retailer of home health and caregiving products, found that over 1 in 10 adults aged over 50 list electronic as their favorite genre of music. The study surveyed nearly 600 seniors about the role music plays in their lives, uncovering a heartwarming affinity for electronic music legends like Avicii, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk, the lattermost of whom found fans in roughly 10% of respondents. Sony Music Entertainment Beyond genre-based preferences, the data paints a broader picture of music’s emotional power. 64% of respondents listen to music daily and more than a quarter regularly revisit live performances on YouTube. Meanwhile, 79% said music sparks happy memories and 77% believe it helps reduce stress. A not-so-surprising statistic: 45% of seniors still primarily listen to music using AM/FM radio. Only 28% use Spotify, highlighting how many older adults haven't fully embraced streaming technology and continue to rely on more traditional ways of enjoying music. Regardless, for many, these songs aren't relics of the past, but ongoing sources of comfort and connection. And for those wondering if their favorite bass drop will still hit decades from now, the forecast is looking pretty bright. You can read Carewell's full study here.

They say it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. They also say a journey is measured in friends, not miles. And sometimes, just occasionally, they say that when a label owner tries to film an interview with his artist for a cool ‘on road’ style video while driving to gig, but the sound quality is too rubbish for any of that caper, and it’s not the best interview because you’re travelling on busy A-road on the picturesque UK south coast on the first sunny Sunday of 2025 so conditions are a little stressy and fellow road users are far from blessy… Then you should write a story about it. Maybe even send it to your old friends at UKF. Okay, only I said that last one. And I write it not from the perspective of a music journalist, but in the capacity as both a DJ’s driver (the full round trip involved over 11 hours and 30 minutes of drive time) and (more importantly) a label owner who has worked hard with an artist to help him unleash what I feel to be a genuinely exciting and inspiring debut album into the universe. The label is 1 More Thing, a brand I stepped down from this site as editor to set up. The artist is Lakeway (Liam Ralph), a young talent who was making unique waves with a very distinct fusion of instrumental grime and drum & bass. I first interviewed Lakeway on this site back in 2017. We stuck a chord with each other at the time with our mutual appreciation of wave music, our love for The Simpsons and our shared experiences battling very noisy minds. During the interview he told me how he’d had to quit uni as his mental health was so acute. “I got so self-conscious and socially awkward, I would hold my breath whenever I walked past anyone,” he recalls about that particularly treacherous time in his life as we weave through a little congestion coming off the main motorway and onto a long winding A-road that stretches the English south coast. His descriptions hit my heart hard. Just like when we did our first interview over eight years ago, I wanted to give him a hug. “I fixed that by spending more time in London,” he lets off one of his trademark chuckles. “You can’t do that on the Circle line at peak time. It’s impossible! So I got on with it. It’s not the healthiest way but… dive in, right? Fuck it.” Highs & Lows Diving out of uni was the best thing Liam could do. As he worked on himself and his recovery, his music began to pick up the attention of Med School, Hospital Records’ once super cool off-shoot testing ground where many artists like Bop, Keeno, Whiney and Etherwood would flourish and start their careers. “I’d already been talking to London Elektricity about signing to Med School before I left uni,” Liam explains. “But I knew it wasn’t right. It was all way too much pressure and I was only 18. I’m actually quite proud of how mature that decision was, looking back.” Eventually though, he did sign with Med School and started to sow the seeds for his debut album which is finally ready for release seven years later. Entitled ‘I’ve Missed The Sun’, it’s an overwhelmingly thicc UK bass odyssey that oozes out of its neon trackies in every direction worth shaking a shell toe at. Grime, trance, house, downbeat, jungle, breaks, hardcore, dubstep, rave. Often a few in one tune. But as wildly wide-armed as it sounds on paper, sonically it’s very much an album’s album. I’ve Missed The Sun is a powerful trip that guides you from high to low and back again with such consistency and smoothness you never feel like you’re being bombarded by too many different sounds and styles and ideas. In true album tradition it’s also every bit the personal debut as it reflects Liam’s character and personality; Energetic, unpredictable, prone to misdirection, high levels of esoteric magic, a little tense in places and unapologetically emotional. It’s timeless, too, like all the most enduring albums… While the album’s creation began seven years ago, it feels like the perfect antidote to the turbulent times in which we currently find ourselves. In reality, it’s been completed since 2022. So why the wait from then until now? “That’s the million dollar question,” laughs Liam as we drive towards our destination: Butlins Holiday park for the final leg of Hospital Records first ever UK weekender. “I’m not really sure where to start…” Development Hell It’s fair to say that during this whole process Liam has endured more than your standard amount of life curve-balls… Label closures, unexplained brain seizures, a cacophony of medical mistreatments and misdiagnoses, severe mental health challenges and of course the universally shared lockdown period five years ago have all had an impact on the release and its delay. Med School’s closure in 2019 was the first monumental shift. A sudden decision that came with no announcement (even for the artists) this was a brutal twist at the time. “When I told my parents the news it was like sitting them down and saying I’ve got some bad news. The cats dead!” he laughs again but the smile fades quite quickly. “It really was like announcing a death. It felt like that.” As time has gone by things have settled on this front. While the sudden closure of the label was a very harsh wake-up call to the realities of the music industry, Liam’s relationship with the brand is still on good terms and he can occasionally be spotted on the line-ups for their bigger events and festivals. Such is the case with our mission today. With the beauty of hindsight, like his decision to leave uni, Med School’s closure came with a silver lining. “The creative benefit was that I wasn’t thinking, ‘What’s going to go down on the weekend?’,” explains Liam who was touring every weekend while he was signed to Med School. Like so many producers whose main income comes from club shows, his sound was very influenced from his weekend activities. “With fewer bookings, I was able to write what I wanted to hear. I couldn’t be in that headspace when I was doing lots of shows.” This was a huge turning point for the sound and focus of I’ve Missed The Sun. Working closely with Diffrent (the currently snoozed imprint run by Planet Wax co-founder Dexta) Liam re-imagined his album and reworked the whole thing into what you hear today; an LP that gradually unfolds with a sense of grandness and drama that can you imagine on any dancefloor around the world but carries a musicality and sense of imagination that transcends any rave experience. It’s a fusion that – to my ears at least – touches on reference points of Justice, Andrew Weatherall or dBridge. It’s a sound that could only come from time away from the rawdog life of a gigging DJ, and it was also heavily compounded by a phase of listening to early rave and electronica during the early chapters of the 2020 lockdown. “It was a strong phase,” he grins, this time legitimately. “A Guy Called Gerald, Orbital. Those kinda ones. It created a very strong vision in my mind.” Released exactly five years after that strange chapter in our lives began on March 20 this year (also on the first day of spring if you’re into equinoxes and that) you can feel that energy and the strong sense of poignancy. Those unseasonably hot days that marked the first part of lockdown are the sun that inspired the title. “I did miss the sun,” he insists. “Okay so I’m an only child stoner nerd so lockdown wasn’t so different to any other time but I did miss that heatwave.” As we continue to negate millions of roadworks, endless potholes and countless snooty 4×4 drivers, our conversation continually flips between deadpan admissions and deadly serious confessions. It’s an enduring characteristic of Liam as he is able to jump from an incredibly serious topic to something jocular and silly in seconds. Another confession during the journey was how he deleted all the project files during the process of the album. In non-producer terms this means that the version you hear today can never be reworked or reimagined without being entirely reverse engineered and rebuilt from scratch. “I deleted it in frustration,” admits Liam who had become obsessed with the album having a seamless production finish that runs throughout the entire journey. Mixdown after mixdown and many extra cost re-mastering his new versions drove Liam to the point of distraction “Frustration at myself! It’s like ‘No, fuck you brain, you’ve been thinking thoughts your whole life and look where it’s got us! Stop. Stop thinking now.” As all over-thinkers know, there is no ‘off’ button. But the delete button prevented any further over-thinking or over-working the project and the album you hear today is the album he was left with in 2022 thinking it would be due for release on Diffrent in the near future. A very sudden and unexplained neurological issue also put the kybosh on any further developments for several years as around this point Liam also began to experience unexplained seizures. “A random brain hemorrhage builds character apparently,” he laughs. Sick Music In case the label closure and lack of gigs and sudden lack of any type of social life wasn’t quite enough of an impact, Liam’s health then became a priority that meant he had to shelve music almost entirely as he underwent myriad tests and appointments with surgeries and consultants. “I’m always going to write music. I’m too emotionally driven to not write music,” he explains. “But I don’t know what I wrote during that time. It’s just brain fog. A random jumble of memories. Most the stuff wasn’t worth remembering…” Except the really scary bits… Like the seizures themselves and the catastrophic fuckries from certain establishments and professionals. At one point he was prescribed such levels of one particular chemical he later learnt he’d been poisoned. At another point he was about to undergo a procedure before understanding he was at risk of having a stroke (he walked out of the hospital on that occasion). Over our epic drive he shares many details and tales of hospital woes but it’s best summarized when I asked him if he had a bucket list. Had things got so bad during this phase of his life that he was no longer obsessing with any type of album ambition and was just hoping to do a few nice things during his final days? “No!” he laughs. “It’s hard to care in that type of way. I don’t think the brain is great at acknowledging its own lack of existence anyway but if you’ve got a bucket list then you’ve got pressure and stress. For me I decided it was just better to bumble around, be happy go lucky and hope my brain doesn’t explode. It’s still ongoing now. No one knows what caused the seizures and I’m still on meds to this day. For me it’s the confidence thing. You feel like you’re making progress but then you have a seizure and it’s back to zero again.” Stamina Crew Highlighting an invisible challenge that many people who have neurological disorders face daily, Liam has been living with that feeling ever since and explains how it can play hell with your mental health and confidence; especially when it comes to aspects such as driving; he has to be seizure free for a number of years before he can re-apply, hence me being his driver for this gig. Gradually though, over the course of three years, he’s emerged through a haze of meds and complications and the Lakeway I’d been a fan of for years prior has come back into view. Releases on Diffrent, Unchained Asia and Super Sonic Booty Bangers all started to drop over the last two years, setting the scene for the album that’s been sitting in its own time capsule, waiting patiently to be released. Originally signed to Diffrent, a label that has played a huge role in the breakbeat underground and indeed in Liam’s career, I’ve Missed The Sun was handed over to 1 More Thing as I could give the album the energy it deserves and Diffrent is currently on standby mode as the owner Dexta builds up a community around his and Sicknote’s thriving independent record store in South London Planet Wax. “It’s funny, I can listen to it now and really enjoy it,” he smiles with complete transparency. This isn’t a nervous laugh or his way of making light of something dark. He means it. “I had a moment where I was a little tipsy and just dancing around my room to it at 2am without a care in the world. I genuinely enjoyed it.” To have that type of relationship with your own body of work is a rarity. In all my years of interviewing artists (who are highly self critical at the best of times), I’ve found most have a love/hate relationship with most of their output. Especially debut albums. And very few would be able to have that type of joyous experience from their own output. But if anyone should be award this experience, it’s Liam. The journey has been so long and eventful that it’s almost like he’s listening to someone else…. Which is fitting really as everything else about the album is different to how he’d first imagined when he started to write it in 2018, too. The label, the context, the inspiration and the word in which we live have all changed drastically. Especially the politics. Yet the album sounds every bit as relevant and attuned to 2025 as if he wrote it under the current excruciating shadow of populism, fascism, neoliberalism and woeful late-stage capitalism “What would the album sound like if I was writing it now? Some type of dystopian nightmare I suspect!” he laughs. “I’m glad I don’t have to imagine that. I’m just happy that it’s finally coming out and I can move on.” And with that we arrive at our destination and we’re reminded that despite the many changes in our lives, the world and the scene, one thing that hasn’t changed is the unreliability of Sunday ravers at the arse-end of three day knees up in a UK holiday park. And after all those hours of driving from my own house in Wales to Lakeway’s house in Devon to the show in Sussex, the set is a classic anticlimax scenario as his dancefloor comprises a small collection of fellow DJ friends, a really enthusiastic sound tech, an enthusiastic driver/label owner/ journalist (me) and a few curious passers by who are on their way to the more mainstream D&B attractions of the night; on the left is the Valve warming up with Lemon D, on the right is Shogun Audio preparing the ravers for a full night’s showcase with Deadline and Viridity while the main room behind us has some of the biggest names in dnb in just a few hours including Bou and Camo & Krooked. It’s a classic schedule clash that all DJs face regularly and have done since the dawn of rave. Ho Liam seems completely ambivalent about it. If anything, he’s quite happy about the lack of pressure he’s faced with. “It’s just like being paid to have a practice isn’t it?” he laughs before dropping into a series of wonky 140 cuts. Holding a massive ‘banger’ sign above my head to re-balance the flagging energy of the straggling weekend ravers, I nod in agreement, happy not be driving for an hour or two but knowing we’ve got another six hours ahead of us to get home. This time I won’t be trying to interview him in the process. They were right. It’s definitely not about the destination. It’s about how we got here. And where we go next. Our journey and friendship continues… Listen To I’ve Missed The Sun

Thanks to a Mario Kart sample, there's nostalgic mischief at play in Subtronics and Wooli's new single, "Lock In." But make no mistake—this is dubstep designed to break necks, not records. The track, out now via Cyclops Recordings, arrives hotly anticipated as the latest chapter in a collaborative saga that keeps on giving. "Lock In" excels at what both producers do best: maximalist sound design and adrenaline-fueled pacing. The track opens with an ominous, slow-burning build, ratcheting the tension until you're practically gripping your imaginary N64 controller. Then comes the wildcard, that iconic Mario Kart countdown, a mischievous nod to millennial nostalgia that serves as the sonic green light. Merging technical proficiency with a playful sense of humor, the Mario Kart sample isn't just fan service—it's a clever use of cultural shorthand that enhances the anticipation and complements the frenetic energy that follows. And when the drop hits, it's unapologetically brutal, hijacking the charm of vintage Nintendo gameplay and kicking it into overdrive as Subtronics' signature wonky sound design collides with Wooli's ferocious bass.

Landing on his own Catch & Release imprint, FISHER is back with a new single, "Stay." With a nostalgic sample and his club-ready production, the soulful track is both a nod to classic dance music and a fresh take on contemporary house. FISHER interpolates elements of Exile's 1978 soft-rock classic "Kiss You All Over," weaving its vintage vocal fragments into a tapestry of driving basslines and crisp percussion. "Stay" gradually builds tension before FISHER releases it in a euphoric drop coupled with an infectious refrain: "So stay with me baby and hold me all night long." That uplifting sequence is reminiscent of a weight lifting off your shoulders, striking a balance between romantic lyricism and cathartic production. The track's release arrives ahead of major performances at Ibiza's newest superclub, [UNVRS], as well as high-profile brand Catch & Release stage takeovers at Miami's iconic Club Space and Belgium's storied Tomorrowland festival.
