Step Into INFEKT's Greenhouse From Hell, "VEGGIE GAMES"
In his new EP, VEGGIE GAMES, INFEKT proves that his creative nutrients are anything but depleted. Planting seeds of chaos that blossom into a wild garden of riddim, he takes his "organic dubstep" sound to new heights in the project, out now via Monstercat. The rising electronic music superstar called VEGGIE GAMES his "proudest work to date" after a determined period of painstaking work on the technical side of his production. "Over the last year I've progressed so much in sound design, mixdown, and overall quality, and I’m stoked to finally reveal it," INFEKT said in a press release. "Every track has a different flavor and influence. Some styles are more OG, some ultra-futuristic, some deeper and understated—all inspired by the incredible energy people I've been bringing to my shows and my unstoppable hunger to find new ways to create crazy bass sounds and flows." INFEKT.Camarin Glorioso That dedication is clear right off the rip thanks to the EP's blistering opener, "BEAMS," a relentless banger with snare cracks that crunch like fresh celery. The energy doesn't relent in the ensuing track, "MOMENTUM," where a hip-hop-inspired lyrical grenade detonates through squelching riddim drops. Elsewhere, INFEKT's unique brand of audio agriculture is on full display in "NO FLEX," one of the EP's standouts. Here, vintage dubstep wobbles sprout like mutant beanstalks and vine their way through a thicket of thunderous subs. VEGGIE GAMES arrives in the midst of a bona fide breakout for INFEKT, who has a landmark performance at Tomorrowland on the horizon. Skrillex, Subtronics, Marshmello and many more have consistently played his records in 2024 and he's been rampaging through the live circuit, selling out shows in Los Angeles, Denver, Vancouver and other major North American cities on an expansive headlining tour.

Spotify Gets Bilingual: Introducing “Livi,” Your Spanish-Speaking AI DJ
Spotify just upped the personalization game with the launch of their first-ever Spanish-speaking AI DJ, “Livi.” This exciting development builds upon the success of the original English-speaking AI DJ, “X,” offering a more tailored experience for Spanish music fans. Just like “X,” whose voice is based on a real Spotify employee, “Livi” brings music discovery to life with a friendly and realistic voice. Olivia “Livi” Quiroz Roa, a senior music editor at Spotify based in Mexico City, lends her voice to “Livi,” ensuring an authentic connection with Spanish-speaking users. For Spotify, the AI DJ is more than just a tech gimmick. It’s a powerful tool that has demonstrably increased music consumption on the platform. Spotify’s data shows that DJ users are avid listeners, and the feature’s popularity has skyrocketed with over 200% growth in the past year. The AI DJ is built using a combination of technologies from OpenAI and Sonantic, an AI voice platform Spotify acquired in 2022. Similar to “X,” “Livi” leverages AI to seamlessly introduce personalized song selections and commentary. Spotify found the perfect voice for “Livi” through an extensive casting process. Listeners overwhelmingly reported that “Livi’s” voice felt relatable, like getting music recommendations from a friend. This focus on a conversational approach creates a more engaging listening experience. The post Spotify Gets Bilingual: Introducing “Livi,” Your Spanish-Speaking AI DJ appeared first on EDMTunes.

Tomorrowland May Face €2 Million Fine Due to Disposable Cups
Tomorrowland will not utilize reusable cups throughout most of its main festival grounds this year and festival organizers are still using disposable cups. By refusing to comply with the laws in the Belgian region of Flanders regarding reusable materials at events, Tomorrowland may face up to a €2 million fine. In addition to that, the festival also did not receive an exemption from using reusable cups as well. Flanders’ laws involving the serving of drinks in reusable materials have been in effect since June of last year. The 2023 edition of Tomorrowland received an exemption because it still had disposable cups in stock. For this year, Tomorrowland would have received an exemption is if the festival organizers could have proved that the reusable cups would not benefit them exclusively in an environmental situation. According to the Belgian News Agency, Flemish Environment minister Zuhal Demir refused to grant the exemption three times, stating that the festival “had not provided enough evidence”. The minister then stated, “Tomorrowland is a fantastic festival that is also a small multinational. With a name like that, you should be a champion of good environmental policy”. What is next for Tomorrowland after the potential risk of a €2 million fine Finally, the festival organizers have decided that they will utilize the reusable cups backstage and in VIP areas. However, they also stated it is “not feasible” to have the reusable cups through the whole festival grounds. As mentioned prior, the festival may still face that €2 million fine. Tomorrowland spokeswoman Debby Willemsen told Belgian newspaper De Tijd, “We were hoping to get another exemption because we had argued our case well. When that didn’t happen, it was too late to change our plans. We are now waiting for the invoice”. The post Tomorrowland May Face €2 Million Fine Due to Disposable Cups appeared first on EDMTunes.

Martin Garrix and Carolina Liar Light Up the Darkness With Bubbly Dance Anthem, "Smile"
With his new single "Smile," Martin Garrix proves that sometimes the most powerful crescendos aren't measured in volume or bass, but in heart. Out now via his own STMPD RCRDS imprint, the track finds Garrix trading his usual EDM thunder for a breezier approach, grounding his sound in an unexpected blend of bubbly indietronica and folksy charm. Featuring vocals from Chad Wolf of the pop-rock band Carolina Liar, "Smile" is akin to sunshine after rain, offering a melodic lifeline to those caught in life's storms. Invoking yellow brick trains and radiant Joshua Tree sunbursts, his evocative songwriting shines with an earthy authenticity while extending a hand to hold when the world feels overwhelming. "Smile" doesn't just invite happiness—it practically manufactures it, bottling candor and compassion into a three-minute dance anthem. Garrix in June debuted the song during his sold-out, four-night run at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, where Carolina Liar joined him onstage for a trio of uplifting live performances. Listen to "Smile" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

The artist extends his apologies to fans, promoters, and everyone involved in organizing the shows. Hot Since 82 stated in a post “I feel truly awful about this situation and I intend to make it up to you however I can. I’m unable to go to work, for context, I’ve also had to cancel the family holiday with my wife and kids. I’m completely stressed to the max but there’s nothing I can do” The passport issue has also impacted the artist’s personal life, forcing them to cancel a family holiday with their spouse and children. He is experiencing significant stress but remains hopeful that the situation will be resolved soon. Unfortunately, he is unable to travel this weekend but assures everyone that he will make it up to them once the passport is issued.

Night Tales Release Breathtaking Track ‘You Found Me’
Here comes a banging new Melodic Techno / Deep House tune for you to enjoy. Fridays, everyone! We’re full of releases this week, and this Friday in particular. And we’re happy to keep sharing them. Over on this corner of the Dance spectrum, for example, we have an excellent piece coming to you courtesy of Night Tales, the unstoppable duo comprised of Aaron Bannie and Kamaliza Salamba. Their latest? ‘You Found Me‘. Night Tales EDMA Breakthrough Artist Of The Year 2024 nominee duo Night Tales show no signs of slowing down. They’ve had a stellar run this year, having headlined We Belong Here festival in Miami, performing at EDC Mexico, and touring all over Europe. And even though their defining year has been 2024, they were already making waves in the past. Just as an example, their debut album Proof was released by Ultra Records in 2022, and has since collected a listener base that accrues to over 50 million streams. ‘You Found Me’ Night Tales’ new release, ‘You Found Me‘, portrays an exquisite blend of Melodic Techno and their by-now renowned Deep House sound. It achieves so by borrowing the foundation from Deep House, and infusing Melodic Techno elements on top, such as ethereal effects, soaring vocals, and tense saw leads which are so iconic of the genre. As they’ve tried to pass on to the world, their vision of themselves is not centred or enclosed in any one genre, and is instead focused on transcending borders, one of which, includes the freedom to produce music to their hearts’ desire, with no obligation to abide by this or that style or template. About the track itself, the guys recall: “‘You Found Me’ is about finding light from darkness, sonically symbolic of being rescued by an angel that pulls you away from all the chaos and pain when you need it the most. We were inspired by the music we experienced and performed at T7 in Paris. It was very melodic techno-heavy, which was different from our typical set, but the crowd was extremely receptive to it. This made us want to explore this genre by combining our soulful storytelling with melodic techno elements. The two main synths represent chaos and hedonism, while the verses and hooks are the result of the soothing presence emanating from the angel”. ‘You Found Me’ is about finding light from darkness, sonically symbolic of being rescued by an angel that pulls you away from all the chaos and pain when you need it the most. -Night Tales Listen to Night Tales‘ latest, ‘You Found Me‘, down below for your beloved Spotify play.

Her productions are boundary-pushing, blending genres and boasting massive sound design built to move dance floors. You can experience her genre bending sound at the Air stage on Sunday. Space Wizard Originally born in Philadelphia, but mostly raised in Texas, Space Wizard spent most of his childhood playing hockey up until an injury that happened just before college. While healing from the injury (which he now says he’s happy that happened) he found himself completely immersed in the realm of dubstep and riddim in 2016. Since this moment, he’s garnered thousands of fans across North America with his deep, drippy, and wonky dubstep sound that makes for an out-of-body-like experience. Ever since, his individualistic style has gained him recognition from trailblazers like Liquid Stranger, ATliens, Subtronics, Sullivan King, and many more. He is spinning at the Water stage on Sunday. The post Five Artists You Don’t Want to Miss at Elements Music Festival appeared first on EDMTunes.

Layton Giordani Puts A Melodic Spin On Dom Dolla’s ‘girl$’
Have you ever experienced the sensation of believing that a song is perfect, only to find that a remix of it, which you didn’t think you needed, has been released? That’s exactly how I felt when I heard Layton Giordani’s reimagining of Dom Dolla’s ‘girl$’. Out today on Three Six Zero Recordings. This melodic techno transformation is undoubtedly something you didn’t realize you needed, but now you can’t imagine living without it. The “girls don’t need nobody” lyrics mean more than just a catchy phrase. It captures the sentiment of a generation redefining love and relationships. ‘girl$’ – Layton Giordani The remix skillfully captures the high-tempo essence of the original, amplifying it with a vibrant bassline and emotive synths to create a cinematic techno iteration. If you have seen John Summit, Dom Dolla, Layton Giordani live this summer you would have heard this remix in their sets. I know the crowd went wild when Summit played it in Toronto a few weeks ago at his opening weekend of his Comfort In Chaos Tour. Layton is currently one of the most in-demand techno producers. His recent remix of ‘Last Night’ with Anyma has currently received over 100,000 streams per day on Spotify. His remix of ‘Party All The Time’ was sitting at Beatport’s #1 recently. If you are hoping to hear this remix live, catch Dom Dolla live at Ibiza’s Ushuaia, Parklife Festival, Elrow, Tomorrowland and many more. He will be playing his biggest ever US show at LA State Historic Park – over two days in October. Check out all his tour dates here. Layton will also be on tour this summer, you could see him across Europe and North America. Check out which cities he is playing in here. Stay tuned to EDMTunes for all your latest updates.

Loreno Mayer, Quizzow, Paul Arcane And Brandon Mignacca Present ‘Lose It All’
Ready to kick off your weekend with the most savoury track out there? Here at EDMTunes, we’re always over the moon to receive new music, even more so when it blows us out of the water. This is certainly a case in point right here. A handful of artists which are on our radar constantly, just teamed up to release a bomb. A Progressive Trance bomb, mind you. On one side, we have Paul Arcane, a mainstay over here. With releases on Anjunabeats, A State Of Trance, Enhanced, and more, plus tracks such as ‘First Snow‘ with The Blizzard and, recently, ‘Hold Me‘ with Pete K and Amy J Pryce, he surely is one of the future favourites of this corner of Dance music. And on the other side, we have the duo that never miss: Loreno Mayer meets Quizzow. Not long ago, we covered their release on Hardwell’s Revealed, ‘Without Your Love‘ alongside Alessa. That one was their fourth collaboration, meaning today’s release is their fifth. And let me tell you, they know how to craft. Very well. (Left to right, top to bottom) Loreno Mayer, Quizzow, Paul Arcane, Brandon Mignacca. ‘Lose It All’ The track that sees the three artists come together goes by the name ‘Lose It All’, and is out now everywhere via AVA Recordings. The track, which features the heartfelt vocals of Brandon Mignacca, is a true Progressive Trance masterpiece. It flirts with the past sound of the genre, from around ten years ago. The beat at times sort of resembles Steve Brian and Jason Ross, their sounds back in 2014. And the break has that hugging, evolving warm atmosphere all throughout. It’s a very solid release, and one that I would show to a newcomer to the genre as a track that rocks all the defining elements of a proper Prog Trance piece. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. Q&A With The Artists Behind ‘Lose It All’ That’s right — we got to have a little conversation with the minds who crafted the single, in particular, we got in touch with Loreno Mayer and Paul Arcane, who were kind enough to give us a bit of an insight into the track. Read on to learn more. How was the song born? Who started it, who bumped it to who, we’d love to know the story behind it. Loreno Mayer: “This track used to be a Progressive House track between myself and Brandon Mignacca only. I felt like it needed some different touch on the track and maybe needed to go more into the Progressive Trance sound. So I got in touch with my friend Quizzow. We started working on the new version, I came up with the groovy intro and he came up with these nice chords and the breakdown, we had the drop as well but we felt like it needed some more work, so we joined forces with our friend Paul Arcane who gave it that last polish and found a nice space for the vocals, he added some parts to the track which just felt right!“ Which of your sounds or influences can we hear throughout the track? Loreno Mayer: “With the intro, I really tried to make drums as interesting as possible. I usually love to create random grooves, this one just fit perfectly and created a nice pumping intro to our track. Without all of us together this track wouldn’t be this good that’s for sure!“ What would you say was the most challenging part of producing ‘Lose It All’? Loreno Mayer: “I’d say probably at the very beginning when I scrapped my old version and me and Quizzow were trying to make a completely new picture/structure from it; which in the end worked perfectly with the last and important touch by Paul Arcane!“ Paul Arcane: “The most challenging part for me was to come up with a melody that worked in the main melodic drop, although I managed to work it out after a few versions. Mixing & mastering required many revisions too, but in the end, I tried to make it sound as big and powerful as it could be!“ What can we expect from you all for this second half of 2024? What’s on your radar? Loreno Mayer: “I have 2 more releases, coming 1 under Revealed and the other once again on AVA / Black Hole. After that, I have collaborations with Alexander Popov, Omnia, Vigel, the vocalist Joe Taylor, who works and writes for Tiësto, and many others! People can expect a lot of vocal tracks with many different vocalists and a few special tracks with my good friend Omnia, probably coming later this year or at the beginning of 2025.” Paul Arcane: “Got a couple of EPs and remixes coming up in the next few months, more on the Progressive House side of things. Also recorded a very special DJ set with my friend Abaze on the rooftop of Hotel W, Santiago de Chile — which we plan to share in the second half of 2024!“ A set which, let me tell you, I still cry myself to sleep about not having attended. I’ve been there and the sunset parties at the W rooftop are absolute class.
