That was 16 years ago now and unequivocally we can say that we’ve been able to write 1 or 2 decent records along the way. ha!“ Read the full statement by clicking here. ‘From The Inside’ expands Tritonal’s musical landscape with a fresh, dance-oriented sound, promising exciting developments ahead.

Alber-K and Nino Lucarelli Unite for Summery Dance Track, "Imperfect The Same"
Alber-K has returned with his second single of the year, uniting with Nino Lucarelli to release their new stunner "Imperfect The Same." The infectious dance track follows Alber-K's earlier 2024 single “Stay,” which has amassed over a million streams on Spotify since its February release, deeply resonating with the artist’s growing audience. A rising DJ and producer, as well as researcher and engineer in music technology, Alber-K got his first big break in his early teens, performing at some of Brussels’ most prestigious clubs at the age of 15. This led him to study sound engineering and applied sciences in London, followed by electronic engineering studies in Atlanta. He has supported the likes of Oliver Heldens, Malaa and Jay Hardway on the live circuit, and strives to combine his deep background in music technology with his passion as a dance music producer. Boasting prestigious collaborations with the likes of KAAZE, Burak Yeter, DubVision and Raiden, Lucarelli serves as the perfect vocalist for “Imperfect The Same,” a song about how people’s differences and struggles can bring them together. Driven by Alber-K’s infectious production, “Imperfect The Same” immediately gets into action with a series of intimate string melodies that blend with Lucarelli’s powerful vocals. Alber-K stuns with the dance-pop tune’s arrangement as he combines organic instruments with bright synths for an infectious result. "The phrase 'We're Imperfect The Same,' which is the origin of the song, evokes the fact that differences and struggles bring us together," explained Lucarelli. "The lyrics surrounding this song depict a fallen relationship because it focuses on imperfections, differences and problems rather than what brings us together. It's a metaphor for the bad vibes in the world—wars, crises, depressions, burnouts, et cetera—we're always complaining and focusing on the negative aspects of life, rather than the positive." "The text written by Nino Lucarelli really touched me and inspired me to reinterpret the relationship between technology and humans," adds Alber-K. "At the time I created this song, there was talk of AI taking control of music. Originally, technologies enabled us to produce or create things that were often imperfect, which humans could then improve. It's all part of an artistic process. But once again, creativity, humanity and positivity will save us. Nino's vision and mine came together to give birth to this song. My dearest wish behind this piece is that the people who listen to it have a great summer."

Marsh talks about his new single “Floodlights”
Marsh, a UK-born and US-based Melodic and Progressive house star, releases his new song “Floodlights” on Anjunadeep. This stunning new release from Marsh expertly mixes delicate vocals with his signature bassline sound. It sounds best on a dance floor outside, swaying in the warm summer breeze. ‘Floodlights’ evokes images of light piercing through dark, foggy forests. I first debuted the track in my Kew Gardens mix, and it quickly became the most replayed moment of the set! The idea started with an ambient, fuzzy chord progression. Then I began jamming with the iconic DX7 Solid Bass patch (courtesy of Myon) and quickly found the bass riff. Next came the vocals. I fell in love with the angelic, choral vibes, which added a special hook to the record! It all came together quickly and has been a joy to feature in my recent sets – Marsh says. To celebrate the release of “Floodlights,” Marsh will put out a fully filmed DJ set from the famous Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways (FfWHR) Snowdonia Star on Thursday, June 27th. For Marsh, the train is very important. His parents, Andrew and Jacqui, helped and worked for Ffestiniog. Sam, Marsh’s friend and longtime partner, filmed the set, which looks like it belongs in a movie theater and has stunning views of the Welsh countryside. The artist: Marsh Marsh is at the top of the lyrical and progressive house scene ever since his 2023 album “Endless” came out. The album went straight to the top of Beatport’s charts, and the artist went on a 52-date world tour that sold over 35,000 tickets. Marsh recently played to packed houses at HERE at Outernet in London and New Century Hall in Manchester. He also played at EDC Las Vegas and Cercle‘s famous event at the Air France Museum in Paris, where 25,000 people watched. With vocalists and longtime collaborators Jodie Knight and Leo Wood, Marsh will bring his hybrid show ARIA to the US in September. The show will be performed at famous places like LA’s Fonda Theatre, Chicago’s Concord Music Hall, and New York’s Webster Hall. Anjunadeep Open Air Seattle (a fully filmed live show), Anjunadeep Explorations, Electric Forest, and Deep Tropics are some of the best summer festivals. “Floodlights” by Marsh is now out on Anjunadeep.

Released 10 Years Ago: Lovers On The Sun – David Guetta ft. Sam Martin
2014 was a great year for EDM providing us with some absolute classics and ‘Lovers On The Sun’ stands among the best songs to come out that year. This track from two of the biggest powerhouses in music, David Guetta and Avicii, would have huge success in the charts reaching the number one spot in the official top 40 in 4 countries. It has gone on to become an icon of electronic music much like the names behind making it. Though uncredited on the record, Avicii co-produced ‘Lovers On The Sun’ alongside David Guetta which would be their second collaboration following on from their timeless hit ‘Sunshine’ which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. Both of them would continue to have huge success over the next few years including Avicii releasing his first album ‘True’ where he would pioneer his ground-breaking mix of country and electronic music. When it came to them pairing back up for ‘Lovers On The Sun’, it’s clear that the Swedish DJ brought along this new style to inject into the track. The blending of styles on this track is nothing short of perfection as it effortlessly switches between a country vibe that would feel at home in a cowboy film to going full on EDM in the choruses. The guitar melody is simply unforgettable, and the vocals provided by Sam Martin really elevate the track to the next level. With the sheer talent on this record, it was always destined to be a classic and it certainly didn’t fail in that as 10 years on from its release we’re still listening to this gem from the golden era of EDM.

As the music vibrated through the venue, it was clear that Day Trip 2024 was shaping up to be another Insomniac event to remember. But the excitement didn’t stop there. The festival organizers had also implemented a number of new venue enhancements to make the experience even better for attendees. With cutting-edge stage production, increased shade structures, and more restroom facilities, Day Trip 2024 was set to be the biggest and best edition yet. Performances to Remember Saylor Nedelman for Insomniac. One of the standout moments of Day Trip 2024 was the performance by Amsterdam superstar DJ Mau P, fresh off his viral, weekend closing set at Insomniac’s Camp EDC on Sunday. The energy he brought to the stage was infectious, with the crowd hanging on to every beat and melody. And let’s not forget about genre-bending visionary Patrick Topping on Saturday, who took the audience on a musical journey unlike any other.

Zedd Files Restraining Order Against Alleged Home Intruder
Zedd has reportedly filed a restraining order with a Los Angeles court against a woman who allegedly showed up and harassed the DJ at his home. The Grammy-winning producer claims that Rezwan Senobarian, who he has never met, came to his Encino home multiple times this week and behaved "erratically," demanding to talk to him, per court documents obtained by TMZ. Senobarian is also said to have falsely impersonated Zedd by phone and email to a number of people. Zedd ultimately called the LAPD to apprehend Senobarian and is now seeking a temporary restraining order against the woman, who also reportedly harassed his personal assistant and security guards. In other news, Zedd, one of the most popular electronic dance music artists in Spotify history, last week released a new track, "Out of Time."

Unpacking BLUPRNT: Exploring His Distinctive EDM Sound
If there’s one algorithm that truly understands my love for EDM, it’s Spotify. It’s been 18 months since the music streaming platform introduced me to BLUPRNT, a Chicago-based House music DJ and producer, and I can confidently say that my life has been more vivid and upbeat ever since. Spotify’s recommendation led me to follow BLUPRNT on Instagram, where he frequently goes live to share his latest musical creations. I was super excited when we connected, eventually leading to him agreeing to my very first interview for EDM House Network. Using the elements that comprise creating an EDM track, let me paint a picture of BLUPRNT’s unique sound, likened to the stages of cooking bacon: Intro: BLUPRNT, like a master chef, prepares thick strips of bacon in a sizzling cast iron skillet. Build-Up: The bacon simmers, soaking up the rich, sizzling grease. Drop: It reaches that critical point where each strip is infused with savory flavors that your taste buds crave as the aroma fills the air. Breakdown: Flipping each strip to lock in the juicy goodness. Chorus/Hook: The satisfying moment when BLUPRNT’s skills earn your applause. Outro: Even after finishing, you crave more, hitting replay on BLUPRNT’s tracks. How did the remix of Bebe Rexha’s ‘Chase It’ come about? I have always been a big fan of Bebe Rexha’s music and really loved her new track ‘Chase It’, so I decided to put a BLUPRNT spin on it. I was really trying to give it this dark tech house feel that I could play out at shows. Can you walk us through your creative process, or do you find that it varies? I started producing back in 2015 while in high school. I had gotten a cracked version of Ableton and began messing around with it. For a good year I was flat out awful and nothing I made sounded good, however I was loving what I was doing. Like anything it takes a while to learn. For the first few year I was making future bass and pop EDM music but in 2020 decided to start creating house music and formed BLUPRNT. Do you play any musical instruments? I dabble with the piano! I took piano lessons when I was a kid but quit after about a year. My mom always said I would regret and here I am today wishing I stuck with it! What triggers your creativity when creating a beat? I think once I have a groove and baseline that I like I can build from there. I always start there and once I love that as a standalone, I can build a song around it! Do you handle every aspect of creating your tracks, or are there other parties involved in the process? I handle both the production and engineering on almost everything! Occasionally I will outsource the engineering on a track, but I tend to like to do it on my own because I know exactly what sound I am going for. It’s a lot of work but I also have fun doing it and its very satisfying when I have a finished product. You’re currently touring in NY and Santa Barbara. Can we expect more shows for Summer’24? Yes! I just announced my ‘Goin’ Wild Tour ‘ which will cover several cities in NY, CA, Philly, and Minneapolis! This is my first official tour and really hope to build off this one and hit more cities in the fall! There may be one or two more adds to this summer tour so be on the lookout! How did your collaboration with Sherm on the track ‘Real Life’ come about? Sherm has been a good friend for several years now. When I first moved to Chicago, he was someone who gave me my first opportunity with shows in the city and signed several of my tracks to Hood Politics. We had talked about getting a track going together for a couple years and it finally came together with ‘Real Life’. We had a blast making it together and are excited how’s its performed. What have been some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced as a DJ so far? Getting your name out there and building an authentic fan base is the toughest part. You really need to find a way to connect with people and I have found that people can see through any BS. I have tried to be my authentic self and engage with everyone. Tik Tok has been huge with doing this and a great way to post content that you wouldn’t normally post on Instagram. Is there another artist you dream of collaborating with in the future? Two artists that I have always looked up to are Matroda and Ship Wrek. Both of them are unbelievable producers and it would be so fun to get in the studio with them. Are you doubling as the DJ for your upcoming wedding, or did your fiancée veto that idea? (BTW, Congratulations!) My Fiancée has vetoed a BLUPRNT takeover of the wedding unfortunately. However, I have negotiated the after party, so we’ll have some Afters with BLUPRNT! Discover BLUPRNT’s flavorful beats by clicking the icons below YouTube Soundcloud Spotify Instagram

MRAK unveils a six-track EP ‘The Pledge’ on Afterlife
We heard it for the first time back at Coachella 2023. More than a year later, The Pledge, the 6-track EP by Tale Of Us member Carmine Conte, MRAK, is finally here. Released under their own Afterlife Recordings, the EP contained long-awaited tunes such as Their Law. It’s been a long journey you can say but, trust me, it’s worth it. Kicking off with The World Is Yours where MRAK introduces monumental and church-like elements like organs and a mysterious baseline. On top of that brave vocals complete the tune. Sombre piano keys and urgent strings accompany energetic synth layers. brave is a long-time Afterlife friend as he sang on Innellea and Colyn Downfall and 8Kays Basic, part of Realm of Consciousness Pt. VI. Following up The Process goes dark and eerie. It is built on a hypnotic low end, supporting a solid melody that increases in intensity as the track develops. The tune, as the whole EP, supports this ethereal feeling of mystical elements dancing around you. Then the drop brings you back into the club. This one is probably the most awaited MRAK single of the last 2 years or so. Their Law, premiered for the first time at Coachella 2023, has become a must-play on all Tale Of Us and MRAK sets. He teams up with David Lindmer, crafting an undulating track with captivating melodies and harmonies. Having toured around the world, the energetic and powerful drop always makes the dancefloor explore. It shifts a bit from the transcendental mood of the EP bringing some festival energy to the whole EP. Portal brings the listener back to its roots. With a shady and wobbling baseline and the iconic hypnotic synth. With Portal the realm of consciousness beckons us in, with a vigorous vocal reverberating intermittently, complementing the dark bassline and bright synth lines. On The Flame MRAK teams up again with braev, but, this time Wasiu joins the party as well. The song introduces the path for the ending of the EP and it utilizes a heartfelt vocal alongside a spoken-word segment, striking the balance between emotion and high energy. Never Ends is the perfect closing of the EP, keeping the door open for what will come next. With Omnya on remix duty, the main melody provides an uplifting vibration, juxtaposed with the unclearer elements of this journey to the close of the EP. As one of the founders of Afterlife, MRAK has introduced a sharp and elegant but distinctive musical equation to the label. On The Pledge, he presented six compositions, all bound to the Afterlife ethos. The whole EP is out now. Tale Of Us and Afterlife has also announced a no-phone policy for the Hi Ibiza Residency as well as the return after 5 years at their spiritual home, Milan. MRAK’s latest EP was Manifesto back in 2023. The post MRAK unveils a six-track EP ‘The Pledge’ on Afterlife appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

EDMTunes New Music Friday – Week 26
Listen to the most flavour-packed tracks we discovered this week. Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday. Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order. Lost Wolves, Chase Bell & Randella – Shine Genre: Future Bass, Chillstep This week we have a bunch of new music which we’re very excited to share with you all. And kicking off the long list is a threeway Future Bass collaboration that joins the sounds of three very talented artists: California-bound producer Lost Wolves, and two amazing vocalists — Chase Bell, and Randella. Pairing unplugged guitar sections, warm strings, the soft voice of Randella against Chase’s at-times lower register, and the powerful melodic base supporting everything, ‘Shine‘ comes to take the shape of an epic arrangement, and a more-than-sure deserved return of Lost Wolves to the mythical Lost in Dreams imprint. Denis Sulta – If Only I Knew Genre: Trance, Classic Trance Continuing with this week’s NMF, we have Scottish producer and DJ Denis Sulta. A key player on House, Techno and Disco grounds, he’s been walking the world club by club, and gig by gig. After playing Tomorrowland, ADE, Printworks, and Cercle’s Paris Open Air Festival earlier this year, he’s secured a spot on the latter’s imprint for a truly wonderful piece. In a faster lane, yet without losing a single drop of elegance, Sulta presents his latest single, ‘If Only I Knew‘. A beautiful Classic Trance song, it masterfully revives all the offbeat warm bass notes and detuned leads we love from yesteryear in a surgical-like manner, to achieve a mint result. Aren’t we all lovers of the comeback of golden Trance? Fritz Kalkbrenner – Into The Night Genre: Deep House, Classic House Celebrated both in the global Dace scene and in Pop culture, Fritz Kalkbrenner makes a triumphant return to EDMTunes after his appearance on one of November’s NMFs. He’s now shared a lovely track he likes to call ‘Into The Night‘, which remains true to his iconic Deep House sound. You’d recognise his influence even if blindfolded. It’s that energy and that philosophy of just enough elements. It’s a complicated formula to pull off, but Fritz has mastered the art by now. It takes us back to those ‘Sky and Sand’ days, when the hit single, built alongside his brother Paul Kalkbrenner, stayed in the German charts for a remarkable 129 weeks and got into the worldwide Pop culture. Bit & Byte – Beneath the Mask Genre: Psytrance, Trance You know a special product on the spot, and that’s exactly what happened to us when coming across ‘Beneath the Mask‘. A minute in, and we were hooked. It didn’t take long to find out why. As the duo Bit & Byte tell us, “Kenji Kawai, the composer of the famous chorus of Ghost in the Shell, allowed us to re-record the chorus and make a new song out of it“. Bingo. It’s epic, it’s powerful, it’s unique. The boys took an already renowned vocal sample and turned it into a Psytrance gem. I know we tend to share shorter songs in this NMF format, but you have to live the full 8-minute journey on this one. Give it a try. There’s even a specially-mixed Dolby Atmos cut if you so wish. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. Siks – Without You Genre: Melodic Techno, Progressive House A rising star in Electronic music, French DJ and producer Siks loves a good blend of genres. His sweet spot is fusing the best of Electro House, Future House and Pop, showcasing how easy it is for him to intertwine sounds and influences together. Backed by industry heavyweights and signed to major labels, he’s amassed a global following. ‘Without You‘ is Siks’ latest, and the blend this time involves the aforementioned, but sprinkled over an intense Melodic-Techno-flavoured dish. The key here lies in seasoning the base with a more Pop-leaning vocal, borrowing a fatter, heavier kick, and some swing for the higher percussion, to achieve a properly banging sound. Trye feat. ILITSYA – One More Time Genre: Hardstyle Fueled by a passion for music ignited in his youth, Trye, a Hardstyle DJ and producer, has carved a unique sonic niche since 2017. Fusing emotive melodies with powerful kicks and raw sounds, he’s captivated audiences and garnered support from industry giants. Today’s release certainly puts him back into the spotlight and makes you dream about how the future of the Harder genres will look and sound like. Just in time for Defqon.1 Weekend, Trye unleashed a little bomb called ‘One More Time‘. Featuring the vocals of one of the leading voices in Hardstyle, ILITSYA, the single can only be defined as a Euphoric masterpiece in all its glory. Powerful enough to mosh to it, but melodic enough to feel that electrifying rush of adrenaline through your body, this one could become a Summer anthem. Keep your eyes peeled. NGHTMRE & Big Gigantic pres. Gigantic NGHTMRE – Back For More (Darby Remix) Genre: Bass House, UK Garage We’ve been vibing to NGHTMRE and Big Gigantic‘s conjoint alias Gigantic NGHTMRE for a while now, and since the remixes for the LP are now out, we took a peek. Sure enough, there’s even more material to vibe to for the weeks ahead. For now, though, let’s look at what Aussie powerhouse Darby has done. If you were looking for an oomphy tune, here it is for you. Put on your best lemon face, because Darby took the band’s ‘Back For More‘ for a spin. A Bass-heavy fast-paced House spin, in fact. Not that the original was particularly weak by any means, but this revamp? Oof… You’d better get ready. TIM CLARK – Feel You Now Genre: Trance, Techno Energetic. Buoyant. Celebratory. DJ and producer TIM CLARK is back with a summer anthem guaranteed to get you moving. ‘Feel You Now‘ is a bouncy, energetic Dance track bursting with positive vibes. The single likes to call Markus Schulz’s Coldharbour Recordings home, which just goes to show the quality of the record. This one is a true genre-bender. We get elements from Techno, Acid, Trance, Big Room… on paper, it’s a daring move that might not work as expected. But Clark managed to pull this one off gracefully and give us a belter of a tune. Have a listen, you will most likely surprise yourself dancing to it. Planet Zyha – Umbra Tenebrosa Genre: Brostep Planet Zyha is a high-energy Bass music duo formed by Ariane Lilith and Mirek Hamet. They combine epic live shows, captivating storytelling, and eye-catching fashion to create immersive experiences for festival crowds. Both are seasoned artists – Ariane performed as Lilith Wings, and Mirek DJed/produced as Tron Sepia for over a decade. This is not the first time we feature them in here, as they were part of our first-ever New Music Friday of this era back in November. ‘Umbra Tenebrosa‘ is a take on a viral TikTok audio, but reworked in such a way that the dramatic atmosphere goes off the charts. Portraying a powerful Brostep rendition, this one is bound to get you moving. PLANET ZYHA · Umbra Tenebrosa (free download) Final Words Stay tuned, for more of our compilations every Friday — based on demand. And be sure to follow EDMTunes for all the latest news and reviews that revolve around our beloved Electronic Dance Music! The post EDMTunes New Music Friday – Week 26 appeared first on EDMTunes.
