Know Good have dropped a new single, "Bag," a track built for those who like their nights long and wallets empty. With a brooding yet heavy-hitting sound that defies genre categorization, the surging electronic music duo has made quite an impression since joining forces in 2020. They're now gearing up for their debut at one of the nation's most coveted live music venues, Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as a performance at GRiZ's inaugural Seven Stars Music Festival. In "Bag," Know Good showcase their skill at blending raw energy with a polished finish. What's particularly impressive is how they maintain tension throughout the track, which never fully releases into chaotic maximalism nor retreats into minimalist restraint. Instead, it pulses with a controlled intensity, wrapping hip-hop's bounce in a blanket of bass that's dark yet oddly inviting. Sultry guitar plucks and textured bass slink through the mix like honey dripping from a spoon as Aaron Page's fluid vocals coax you into reckless spending in the name of hedonism. But there's something refreshingly honest about their straightforward embrace of pleasure-seeking, which avoids the arrogance often found in hip-hop—a solid flex from a duo that knows how to keep the party going without breaking the furniture. You can listen to "Bag" below. Follow Know Good:Instagram: instagram.com/knowgood TikTok: tiktok.com/@weareknowgood Facebook: facebook.com/weareknowgood Spotify: tinyurl.com/3yyz7bmj

Tiësto has journeyed through many different genres over the years with one of the eras that fans look back on most fondly being the days of trance Tiësto. Now fans have been given hope of a return to trance from the legendary Dutch DJ as he has announced that he will be performing an ‘In Search of Sunrise’ set at EDC Las Vegas. ‘In Search of Sunrise’ first appeared in 1999 as a compilation CD of the best trance tracks, mixed by Tiësto, and released on SongBird which was a subdivision of Black Hole Recordings. Over the following 11 years he mixed on seven ‘In Search of Sunrise’ compilations featuring his own songs along with music from many other prodigious artists. In 2010 his involvement in the making of these compilations ended following his split from Black Hole Recordings. Now 15 years on from this split it looks like we’ll be getting a return to trance from him as he announces his closing set on the Sunday at EDC Las Vegas will be an ‘In Search of Sunrise’ set. At the Kinetic Fields Stage from 4:13AM while the sun comes up Tiësto will be flashing back to 1999 as he brings a tirade of trance to EDC likely featuring new bangers and of course his unforgettable classics. As to whether this could also be teasing new trance music from Tiësto nothings set in stone, but there’s always a chance.

Berlin police have opened an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault at Berghain, the city's world-renowned nightclub, after an attendee reported being raped during a late-night event earlier this month. The incident allegedly occurred on Sunday, March 2nd, during one of Berghain’s famed "Klubnacht" parties, according to reporting by Berliner Zeitung. The assault is said to have taken place in the restrooms of Panorama Bar, one of the club's two main dancefloors. The case came to public attention last week after posts surfaced in an online Reddit forum dedicated to Berghain's tight-knit community of electronic music enthusiasts. In the posts, users circulated details of the alleged incident and reported that police had been contacted. Berlin police have since confirmed that the matter is under active investigation. "I can confirm that a specialist department for sexual offenses within the State Criminal Police Office is conducting an investigation into a matter that matches your inquiry," a police spokesperson told Berliner Zeitung. Authorities declined to release further details, citing Germany's strict privacy and data protection laws. Berghain, housed in a former power plant in Berlin's Friedrichshain district, has long been celebrated for its nonconformist ethos and marathon dance parties. The venue is also known for maintaining a notoriously selective door policy and for fostering a culture where personal freedom is fiercely protected. In recent years, as Berlin's storied club scene has confronted an uncertain future, the city has faced growing scrutiny over safety in clubs and public spaces. The latest allegation has prompted calls among some nightlife advocates for more robust measures to protect attendees. The investigation into the incident at Berghain remains ongoing.

Martin Garrix is breaking new ground with "Angels For Each Other," a collaboration with Indian singer-songwriter Arijit Singh in which he sings on his own track for the first time. Out now via his own STMPD RCRDS imprint, the track blends English and Hindi, melding diverse musical influences and offering a unique fusion of Garrix's signature sound and Singh's soulful Indian melodies. "Angels For Each Other" is also the first-ever English language showcase for Singh, the world's most followed artist on Spotify. In a behind-the-scenes TikTok video, the superstar Dutch DJ shared his excitement about lending his vocals to his own music. "If you had told me a few years ago that I'd be singing on one of my own songs one day, I never would have believed you," Garrix said. The buzz surrounding "Angels For Each Other" is growing, with many fans speculating it could be a key feature in Garrix's Mainstage set at Miami's Ultra Music Festival later this month. He's also fresh off a major headline show on March 14th, the night after the song's release, at Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium, where Singh joined him onstage.

The rise of social media content creators – and their increasingly pivotal role in breaking tracks into the wider global consciousness – is something that Collabhouse has placed at the heart of its mission to disrupt and revolutionise the music market, as Chief Marketing Officer Andy Berendsen explains: “Influencers are shaping the future of music marketing, and with ‘Campaigns’ they have a platform designed specifically for their creativity. The ‘Campaigns’ feature makes it easier than ever to work with top artists, drive engagement, and be part of something bigger in the music industry.” Content creator Ida Celine (@idacmusic) agreed, adding: “Music and content go hand in hand, and Collabhouse just made it easier for creators like me to work directly with artists.

DJ Mag Top 100 stars BEAUZ beta-tested it last year for their hit single ‘Lick It’ and the results made them completely re-evaluate their relationship with the traditional music release model. Using targeted creator partnerships to tap into TikTok’s ‘ravetok’ scene, the duo achieved a 300% increase in streaming figures (5.7million), a 650% increasein the amount ofvideo creations using the single (73,000), andanincredible 750% increasein the amount ofengagement with the track across social platforms (53 million interactions). “Working with Collabhouse has been an absolute game-changer,” admitted one half of the duo, Bernie Yang. “At first, we turned to Collabhouse to release tracks that didn’t quite fit traditional labels. But to our surprise, those tracks ended up outperforming our previous label releases. Looking back, it’s clear why: what we put out through Collabhouse is our pure, unfiltered sound, the music our fans connect with most because they can’t find it anywhere else. “On top of that, Collabhouse’s influencer campaigns consistently provide a major boost, perfectly aligning with today’s music landscape – where social media and content drive discovery. “We’re incredible proud that our top two tracks on Spotify were released through Collabhouse. And shout out to their staff team, Riccardo and Marko for always being there with us.” To celebrate the launch of Campaigns, Collabhouse are inviting content creators to use three new tracks on the platform: Naak’s ‘Feeling My Way Out’, ‘Neglect’ from Dreamkiller, and ‘Ocho’, a co-production from KEVU and BEAUZ, with a huge €5,000 prize fund at the ready for creators whose content impresses their in-house marketing team.

In a move that surprises exactly no one familiar with Richard D. James' eclectic universe, the electronic music pioneer better known as Aphex Twin has unleashed a characteristically unconventional offering: a massive selection of 191 tracks for streetwear giant Supreme. Titled with quintessential Aphex understatement as "Aphex Twin: [mostly mellow]," the collection represents a rare glimpse into the listening habits of electronic music's most enigmatic figure. From Brian Eno's ambient explorations to Kraftwerk's mechanical precision to Run-DMC's revolutionary hip-hop, the playlist mirrors the same boundary-dissolving spirit that marks James' own deeply influential productions. In a classically self-referential twist, James included one of his own tracks, 2015's "XMAS_EVET1N" among the selections. Other trailblazing artists to appear include Burial, Ragga Twins, Squarepusher and The Beach Boys, among many others.

In a scene obsessed with faceless DJs, Richard Finger has found the ultimate loophole: they're just a finger. The mystery of Richard Finger is one of the strangest—and most entertaining—storylines to emerge in electronic music so far in 2025. If you spend enough time scrolling through dubstep discourse on X, you've probably stumbled across this quirky saga recently. If not, all you need to know is that somewhere, somehow, a sentient finger managed to strong-arm its way into a live performance debut at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. And that's not even the weirdest part of this story. Who—or what—is Richard Finger? That's been an increasingly urgent guessing game among bass music fans since the enigmatic artist first appeared on SoundCloud in early-2024. What started with a cryptic upload titled "THe BIRTH OF RICHARD FINGER??????" quickly evolved into a full-fledged spectacle built on unhinged song titles, hilarious social media interactions and dubstep productions that are shockingly—almost frustratingly—great. View the original article to see embedded media. For months, fans speculated whether the project was one artist, a duo or an anonymous collective à la Deathpact. The truth? Richard Finger is actually the brainchild of two producers with over a decade of experience, they tell EDM.com, determined to challenge today's artist branding standards by doing the exact opposite of what’s expected. Instead of chasing algorithmic success with vacuous, hyper-optimized promo content, they let chaos do the marketing for them. Using satire, shitposting and outlandish lore, they are giving the middle finger to the moth-eaten music marketing machine. And it's worked. Last month, EDM.com Class of 2025 star Tape B announced Richard Finger as the first opener of his Red Rocks headline show in October, launching the mystery even further into the public eye. With just seven songs—all of which are SoundCloud exclusives—and less than a year of existence, their playbook has led to plenty of questions. Are they an industry plant? Did they blackmail their way onto the lineup? Is this all just one elaborate joke? Richard Finger, of course, aren't here to clarify anything. "We love breaking the law," they told us in their first-ever interview. We caught up with the anonymous artists behind the most infamous appendage in bass music to discuss their Red Rocks debut, the power of online absurdity and why sometimes, causing commotion is the best marketing plan of all. View the original article to see embedded media. EDM.com: Fans love unraveling the mystery of anonymous artists. How do you balance keeping the illusion intact while also making real connections with your audience? Richard Finger: It’s less about trying to keep the illusion intact and more about engaging with the people who are engaging with our music. Anonymity just keeps the focus on the sound and not "us." EDM.com: Anonymity in electronic music has historically been used to shift focus toward the art itself. Do you see Richard Finger as a character-driven project, or is the music ultimately what you want people to focus on? Richard Finger: At the end of the day, we want people to focus more on the music than anything else. EDM.com: Your branding is so over-the-top that it almost mocks traditional artist promotion. What do you think Richard Finger says about the current state of artist branding in electronic music? Richard Finger: These days, artist branding feels like everyone’s just copying what already works, and people take it way too seriously. We wanted to break that mold and have fun with it, be ridiculous and do something that actually makes us laugh. Music should be about expression, not just playing by the same old rulebook. EDM.com: The Richard Finger persona is intentionally ridiculous. But satire has a way of revealing deeper truths. What is Richard Finger actually satirizing? Richard Finger: Richard Finger satirizes the over-the-top, serious nature of artist branding. It’s a way to highlight how ridiculous and fake the mainstream culture can be, while pushing for authenticity and humor instead. We love breaking the law. EDM.com: Comical façade and social media presence aside, your music is full of creative sound design that has captivated dubstep fans. How would you describe Richard Finger as a producer? Richard Finger: We've both been making music for over a decade, so we do have experience under our belts. But this time around, we’re not taking it as seriously—while still putting 100% effort into the music we create. EDM.com: Your first-ever live show is at Red Rocks. Not exactly a low-key debut. How do you even begin to conceptualize a performance for such an iconic venue when your entire brand is based on absurdity? Richard Finger: We’re just going to do what we normally do: write music and play it. Our "brand" may be absurdity. But the music will speak for itself. EDM.com: Much speculation has been made online about your identities. Do you have a plan for how to present Richard Finger to the world at your debut show? Richard Finger: No. View the original article to see embedded media. EDM.com: Given your first release was less than a year ago, some controversy has been made about such a new artist being given the opportunity to play at Red Rocks. What is your message to those who are skeptical of the booking? Richard Finger: People like to speak on what they don’t understand. When we were booked for this show, Tape B and his team had no idea who we were. Once again, we think the music speaks for itself. If you cause enough commotion, the opportunities are endless. EDM.com: Red Rocks is a venue known for hosting legendary performances. What does playing this stage mean to you personally, and how do you plan to make the most of this opportunity? Richard Finger: All jokes aside, it truly is an honor and unexpected to be able to share our music on such a legendary stage. This set will be the most effort we’ve ever put into a performance. Tons of new music, remixes and edits. EDM.com: Do you see Richard Finger as a short-term experiment or a long-term artistic vision? Richard Finger: We’re just writing music, sharing it with the world and having fun. We have no expectations of how far this will go. EDM.com: Is there anything else you'd like to tell the world about Richard Finger? Richard Finger: We are not an industry plant. If anything, we're a middle finger to the industry and the way it operates. No corporate bullshit. Just two friends making music and having fun.

Eric Prydz fans, pinch yourselves to believe, or slap yourselves if you still don’t! The unthinkable has happened! Eric Prydz’ has finally dropped ‘Call on Me’ after 21 years! The 2004 international hit catapulted Eric to the path of initial global superstardom. It has been completely abandoned by the Swedish dance music titan for more than two decades, till 03/15/2025 at The Concourse Project. Eric Prydz dropping ‘Call on Me’ at The Concourse Project, Austin, Texas The ’20 Years of Pryda‘ show in Austin, Texas has witnessed a history of sorts. Ibiza 2004 was the last time it graced the tracklist of the progressive house legend. There have been instances post-2004 admitted by Eric himself where the audience came to his shows just for the song. The restlessness and anticipation of those still didn’t convince him to drop ‘Call on Me’ at those shows. It was dead and buried and no one ever presumed in their wildest dreams he would play it again. Another footage of Prydz dropping ‘Call on Me’ at Austin, Texas ‘Call on Me’ is Eric’s own 2004 take sampling Steve Winwood’s 1982 classic ‘Valerie’. The music video for the classic was the one that made more waves, to the point it caught the attention of then British Prime Minister, Tony Blair. The signs given by Prydz of keeping himself away from the iconic track was to avoid the tag of a ‘one hit wonder’. The progressive house legend obviously went to attain much bigger accolades in career. Celebrating 20 years of his label Pryda at The Concourse Project show was deemed apt by Prydz to resurrect the classic. And we are definitely not complaining! For me, I’m super happy about “Call On Me” the single, and what happened to it, and that it became super successful and all that. I don’t take pride in the track, because Steve Winwood wrote the melodies in it. I added some beats, I changed the arrangement around, and somehow it connected with the audience. I’m happy it happened, but at the time I was on a different musical journey. This was just some side project that I did. It took me a half an hour to make, just a fun thing on the side. I already had my path with my labels and Pryda and the whole progressive house underground stuff and the techno with CirezD that I was doing. Then all of a sudden this happened, and I got a bunch of new Eric Prydz “Call On Me” fans that started turning up to the shows. I would open up with a John Mull record.

Let us introduce you to Mono Black. He grew up listening to Flux Pavilion, Modestep, and Skrillex, before changing lanes to hip-hop for a while. This scene is where he really learned the ropes and got into producing, sampling from random €1 vinyls and picking out tunes in his favourite record shops. And when you discover he’s from Antwerp, a city with a vibrant underground scene full of undiscovered gems, things will start to click. Mono Black makes music for the underground, for the people with a passion. When you listen to his tracks, you’ll notice that it’s different from the typical Belgian sound the country got famous for in the bass scene. And that’s because Mono Black doesn’t necessarily want to conform to the mainstream. He makes the music he wants. And if people like it, then that’s a plus. Spoiler alert: people do like it, because he’s only released three tracks ever, and one of those just got a premiere on our YouTube channel. Time for a chat. You just released your first ever EP, and it’s already getting supported by UKF. Congratulations! Yeah, it’s absolutely amazing! If you had told my younger self, I wouldn’t have believed you. It’s a massive sign that my music is being appreciated, both by listeners and by bigger people in the music industry. I still see myself as the average bedroom producer, so it’s nice to get that validation. Can you tell me more about the process behind the EP? Funnily enough, ‘Thoughtseize’ was a track that I never intended to release, and I was literally about to delete it when Blanko (Abyssal’s label manager) heard it and told me he wanted to sign it. I made it out of a Shades sample pack, where I took some samples, threw them in my DAW, mangled them around, and thought, this is so unhinged, I’m just going to leave it like that. And then who knows, later I can use it. It has been collecting dust on my hard drive for three years, but here we are. For the ‘Duress’, the other track, I experimented with sounds on my physical synths, and I had a lot of fun with it. I had to give myself a deadline for that one, because I have a hard time finishing my tracks. I think that’s the biggest problem for most producers. Everyone has a thousand projects, but only ten finished ones. I think that’s a mix of imposter syndrome and just listening to it over and over again. What’s the story behind this EP? This was a bit of a challenge for myself, I went out of my comfort zone. Blanko challenged me a lot with this. I have a lot of projects that sound very epic and big and very offbeat. It’s not something you can play during a set, it’s made for people listening to weird electronic music for the journey. With this EP I couldn’t tap into that sound, but I didn’t mind. It was a nice challenge to see how far I could push myself while working within the constraints of a limited time frame. Where did it all start for you, production-wise? Way back, I started making hip-hop and trap music when I was 16. I slowly transitioned to using more electronic and leftfield sounds which ultimately led me to dubstep, more specifically 140. It’s just fun, I like it. It’s a bit nerdy, to put it that way. You can just geek out on samples. You can stare at your synths for an hour, change sounds around, and be like, oh, I like this, what’s this? I think the geeky aspect of electronic music is that it’s so fun that you keep doing it. I’m a person who, if I find something interesting, I can really lose myself in it for months, 24/7. When I started producing, I was looking at tutorials non-stop, and was watching interviews with artists that I liked. And then I just practiced all of that new knowledge over and over. It’s such a good feeling to be able to control all of that now. Now I can say, I want to make this type of tune, and just go on and do it. I remember getting into dubstep when I was 14 or 15. I was really into the brostep movement of Flux Pavilion, Skrillex, Modestep, all those artists. Then, when I started producing a few years later, I dabbled a lot between hip-hop and dubstep, and then I got to know Ivy Lab. I thought they were sick, they had everything. A bit of hip-hop, half-time… And then I started watching videos like Against the Clock by Fact magazine, where the artists have fifteen minutes to make a whole beat. That’s actually how I ended up discovering Alix Perez. I also remember watching Rhythm Roulette, where hip-hop producers would go and pick up some records from a store and make a beat out of it. I thought that was insane. Watching these videos forced me to think about making my own sounds, my own beats, my own snares. Before this, I just sampled everything, because I was into hip-hop. So I started making my own stuff. It was very difficult, and at first I was really bad at it, but now that I’m completely sober, I feel like I got a better ear for it. How did going completely sober change you as a producer? I can separate the good from the bad way better now. Back in the day I thought everything I made was decent… Now that I’ve listened to a lot of genres, done a deep dive into them, I can tell that there are artists who really care about their album, their EP’s. Shades, EPROM and Alix Perez, worked on their album for a long time. It’s a solid piece of work that is very much in harmony. They have varied a lot, experimented a lot. The sound selection is top notch. Everything is coherent. If you look at another EP, another up-and-coming drum & bass producer or dubstep producer… A lot of these sounds, I feel like I’ve heard a hundred thousand times. The sound might fit in DJ-sets, but it doesn’t get to me like Shades does for example. I don’t know, it’s not that the more mainstream stuff is bad, because music is subjective anyway, but you can sometimes feel that an artist has worked hard on it for themselves, and not just to make a song that does well on dancefloors or radios, and that’s what I like. When I go to events or sets of artists that I really want to see, I really pay attention to the details and how the artist reacts and interacts with the audience. Some artists are very introverted and are very busy with what they do. They’re in the zone. Some are very good with the crowd, which is also nice. But I think the best in electronic music, and you see it far too little, is the visual aspect. It gets forgotten a lot, I think. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t always do a sick visual show, but that’s something that I would love to get into. Create a visual show, so you can see what’s going on in the artist’s head. You said that you look at what the DJs do behind the decks when you’re out at an event. What are the things that you noticed and how has that influenced you? When the artist enjoys playing their set, then that always translates to the audience. I’ve already noticed that when I play, I prepare only half my set so that I can improvise the other half, and I usually have the most fun in that second half. Every time I play, people say, “You played really well, you were really enjoying it,” and that’s proof to me that if you enjoy what you’re doing, other people will automatically join in. To give you another example, I remember being at Rampage in 2024, and Automhate & Dr. Ushūu were playing. I didn’t know anything about them, but I decided to give it a go. Those guys were literally jumping from joy behind the decks, so the whole crowd was hyped. I thought it was the best set of the whole evening, just because of how enthusiastic they were. It makes such a big difference. Some artists have been in it for a long time, and it’s really just business for them, so they’re less in it with the crowd. But that enthusiasm behind the decks is unbeatable in my eyes. I also notice that when I do it myself, I have a lot of fun. Interaction and enthusiasm is everything, and obviously knowing what you’re doing. Another example is Machinedrum, he’s the reason I do electronic music. His albums Vapor City and Vapor City Archives have shaped my entire musical identity. I saw a live set of his new album, 3FOR82 in Ghent last year, where he added all the effects while the song was playing. The guy had a lot of fun, he had good visuals behind him, it was amazing. At the end of the set, he said, “I’m going to play unreleased stuff for half an hour.” Everyone was dancing. Everyone was so excited. There were around 80 people, but it didn’t matter. If the artist is having fun, then the whole crowd has fun. That’s a good thing to take away from your experiences at gigs! Do you have any final thoughts? The UKF premiere gives me a lot of confidence in what I do. I feel like I want to do more now, and I want to finish the stuff that’s in progress, I want to make a body of work out of it. I’m thinking of releasing a few EPs before I make an album, because an album takes a lot of work. I’m also looking forward to working with a few other Belgian artists, like KRANKk and DMTR. FFaux as well, that guy is insane. I just want to collaborate with them and see how we can create something cool together. They’re not that well known, so that makes it so much more fun for me. Because it’s not with the goal of building a career. It’s purely for having fun, creating unique things. I’m also working on a track with Lavance. He sent me an insane Ivy Lab-type beat, and I can’t wait to work on it more. It’s the kind of track that’s never going to be released, but that doesn’t matter – I like it. For now, I’m all for creating stuff together, and I’m looking forward to more of that in the near future.

In the early days of Martin Garrix’s music he stuck to making Big Room House where he produced some huge tracks like ‘Tremor’ and ‘Animals.’ When 2015 came around he started to really diversify his sound entering into the realms of progressive house and pop which is a journey that began with his fantastic collaboration with Usher, ‘Don’t Look Down.’ This collaboration wasn’t planned and came around purely by chance when Garrix sent a demo of the track to his manager who happened to have the king of RnB Usher visiting. When Usher heard the track, he quickly showed interest in providing vocals for it and shortly after was on facetime with Garrix to talk through working with him. Despite ‘Don’t Look Down’ being a song that was stylistically out of both artists comfort zones, they managed to create exactly what they aimed for, a song that would make people smile. Usher’s rich vocals combined with Garrix’s unparalleled melody writing made for a chart hit as it went to number 3 on the Billboard US Dance Club Songs and reached the top 10 in the UK and the Netherlands. At Ultra Music Festival 2015 the crowd was treated to hearing the song live with Usher joining Garrix on stage to sing in a simply historic moment. 10 years and 287 million streams later, ‘Don’t Look Down’ remains one of Garrix’s greatest collaborations that helped make him a household name.

A great dance track owns the space around it, and with their new collaboration "Where I’m From," Cassian, SCRIPT and Belladonna do exactly that. Even before its official release, "Where I’m From" was already leaving a mark. Cassian has certainly championed the track in his own DJ sets, sending it surging through some of the biggest dancefloors in the world, but its most recent lift came when Anyma and John Summit dropped the incendiary track in a surprise b2b set at LIV Las Vegas. Cassian has been in peak creative form, recently stepping into the role of Music Director for Anyma's "End of Genesys" show at Sphere, an ambitious and groundbreaking residency that's already shaping the next generation of live electronic music experiences. "Cassian has been an inspiration and mentor of mine for so long it’s really exciting to finally get a track out with him," SCRIPT said in a press release. "He’s the first person to spin 'On The Low' last year which was my biggest track to date so it’s very full circle to come back a year later and put out one of our most requested and supported IDs."

Calvin Harris is back behind the mic for the first time in seven years in his new single, "SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY." Known for lending his own vocals to generational dance hits like "Feel So Close" (2011), "Summer" (2014), "My Way" (2016) and "I Found You" (2018), the chart-topping producer took a step back from singing in recent years. His comeback, however, is nothing short of captivating. Harris this week surprised fans with the release of "SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY," a unique blend of country and house music with a folksy twang. Layered with acoustic guitar riffs, harmonica patterns and his signature raspy vocals, the track builds into a euphoric chorus driven by a pulsing bassline. Harris also recently debuted a rugged mountain-man aesthetic, fully embracing this new sonic direction and its folk-inspired style. And while it's certainly a departure, it still has tinctures of that nostalgic, unmistakable, dopamine-fueled Harris sound.

In the hands of an expert, simplicity becomes a weapon, and Max Styler wields it masterfully in his new single, "I Know You Want To." As a newly minted member of the EDM.com Class of 2025, Styler is solidifying his place among house music's most influential rising forces. The producer has already cemented himself as a mastermind behind some of the world’s most popular tech house records, and this latest offering only reinforces his grip. First teased in Styler's sets to close out the 2024 festival season, "I Know You Want To" has since found its official home on Insomniac Records and it's fully primed to dominate stages worldwide. He said the track aptly captures the feeling of being left with no choice but to lock in and push forward. But beyond the intent, "I Know You Want To" is a surefire dancefloor catalyst, custom-built for sweaty, late-night club sets and peak-hour festival action. If tension fuels desire, then "I Know You Want To" is the musical equivalent of a slow-burning stare across the dancefloor. A looping, taunting vocal threads through the track, teasing as the beat tightens like a coiled spring. Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.
