After being away from releasing music for 3 years, Grayson Repp has now made an emphatic return with his brand new single ‘Heart and Soul’ which is the first of a series of songs planned for the year. ‘Heart and Soul’ is an interesting blend of progressive house with an afro feel from the drums which makes for a unique sound that is perfectly executed. Through the lyrics a story of developing love for someone is told that reaches its conclusion at the chorus where the track explodes into being wonderfully uplifting. The leap into this euphoric section is spectacular with a sound somewhat akin to Matisse & Sadko along with the mirroring between the tracks lyrics and energy being masterful. Though he has been away from releasing music for a while, Grayson Repp has been making waves in the world of DJing as he has been the Head DJ and Music Director for the FIFA World Cup 2022, CONCACAF Gold Cup/Nations League Finals 2023 & 2024, and Copa America 2024. His music and DJ sets have taken him all over the globe including sharing the stage with Travis Scott. These performances have been seen and heard by millions of people around the world and have earnt him the spot of Head DJ for the 2026 World Cup. ‘Heart and Soul’ marks the beginning of a huge year for Grayson Repp with plenty of performances and collaborations on the horizon. The release of this single is a strong statement from him of what he is capable of in the studio and what we can look forward to from him over the coming months.

Picture this: It's 2008, the iPhone is barely a year old, there's this new movie Twilight that everyone's talking about, and Passion Pit just released their debut single, "Sleepyhead." Now, nearly two decades later, SOFI TUKKER have joined forces with Passion Pit to release a reimagined version of the indietronica band's ageless earworm. "Sleepyhead 2025" interpolates frontman Michael Angelakos' unmistakable vocal chops through a blissed-out four-on-the-flour beat, showcasing the production prowess of the genre-defying duo. "We didn’t want to change the direction of the song too much, just modernize it and sonically bring it into the SOFI TUKKER world," they said in a press release. Listen to the new track below. SOFI TUKKER's Tucker Halpern said the original "Sleepyhead" was one of his all-time favorite songs back in high school and "soundtracked so many pivotal moments with [his] friends." "I recently met Michael Angelakos and we instantly connected," Halpern recalled. "I told him how much his music had inspired me. After talking about how much the industry has changed since he released Manners [the album featuring ['Sleepyhead'], we decided to bring the track back in 2025 for a new generation." "Sleepyhead 2025" also marks the first release of 2023 on SOFI TUKKER's own label, Animal Talk Records, effectively marking a relaunch. It started in 2018 as a way to introduce the world to promising artists, starting with their friend LP Giobbi, who released her first songs on the imprint before blossoming into a dance music superstar. In other SOFI TUKKER news, you can catch the duo at one of their 10 headlining performances in Las Vegas this year. Their Wynn Nightlife residency comprises appearances at Encore Beach Club and its nighttime offshoot as well as XS Nightclub. Their tour also features performance at BottleRock, Tomorrowland, Shambhala and Elements, among other festivals.

On March 5th Calvin Harris, real name Adam Wiles, is prepared to release a surprisingly new song that he has teased online for the world to react to. Two things that make this song shocking are that he is back to using his own vocals again and this track has a very classic country feel to it. He posted a short clip of him singing the new song ‘Smoke The Pain Away.’ In the video, Harris looks like he’s about to drop the hottest country album of the year while he is playing an acoustic guitar to a foot drum beat. He sings, “Eyes sparkle like the sun in June, grow up and wait for you. Wide awake in a hotel room, thinking ‘oh what could I do.’ Too late I’ve been up for days, I can’t even see straight, no I can’t smoke the pain away.” You can listen to the clip yourself below. Fans immediately expressed their excitement and love for this. One fan reacts, “What is happening? I love it!.” Another writes, “Calvin vocals are back lfg.” In the caption, he wrote, “It’s coming,” and we have been informed that it will be released on March 14th. His last release was the song ‘Free’ in July 2024. Even though Harris is not scheduled for any performances in 2025, this is going to be one amazing start to his year. Harris is no stranger to singing. He used his vocals in many of the songs that forged his career and initially left his fingerprint on the EDM world. Iconic songs like ‘Feel So Close,’ ‘Summer,’ and ‘My Way.’ His cadence and tone have a very pleasing sound. Many of us wish he would sing more songs that he makes. ‘Smoke The Pain Away‘ is not the first time an EDM artist has crossed over into the country realm. Avicii successfully achieved it first with his smashing hit ‘Wake Me Up,’ followed by Diplo releasing an entire album under his real name, Thomas Wesley, as his country project. This may be another defining moment for Harris, but the question we are left with is, does the song contain dance elements or does it stay fully in the country lane? This one will surely be worth the wait! The post Calvin Harris Teases New Song With His Own Vocals appeared first on EDMTunes.

Blossoming progressive house artist Ward Andrews is stepping into the electronic music world with a bold vision. At a time when the industry favors short, easily digestible tracks, Andrews is embracing a different philosophy – crafting expansive, long-form soundscapes designed to transport listeners through layered, immersive experiences. As a longtime creative force in the arts and design world, Andrews has discovered a new medium for his lifelong passion: music. His approach is rooted in his knack for creating cinematic masterpieces that serve as a soundtrack for work, play, and life. Inspired by the hypnotic energy of 70s disco, 80s synth pop, and 90s house, Andrews blends nostalgia with forward-thinking production, resulting in compositions that are both familiar and refreshingly original. With an artist project born during the pandemic, his debut single “Do You Hear Me Now” garnered 90,000 streams, followed by his sophomore track, “Timbavati,” which amassed 100,000 streams. His latest release “Now or Never” caught the attention of Swedish label LoudKult, marking a key milestone in his musical evolution. Andrews has also performed at major events like Goldrush Music Festival and Decadence Arizona; supported artists including Genix, LUTTRELL, Jerro, and Romain Garcia; and he hosts a new radio show on Insomniac Radio, Creation Park, airing on the first Tuesday of each month at 10 PM PT. Now, Andrews is gearing up for the release of his debut EP, The Decoration Of Time, on Friday, May 16. Fusing his unique progressive house sound with elements of atmospheric and melodic beats, the upcoming EP is a deep exploration of Andrews’ artistic journey. With The Decoration Of Time, Andrews seeks to not only captivate through rhythm and melody but also evoke emotions that encourage personal reflection, growth, and connection with the passage of time. Today, Andrews kicks off the EP rollout with lead single “Future Memories” – a track created as a way to redefine the way music, memory, and time are experienced. Exploring the concept of time “Future Memories” captures the feeling of being suspended between the past and what’s yet to come. Its immersive soundscape creates a continuous loop of emotion, blending nostalgia with endless possibility. Spanning six minutes, “Future Memories” is a melodic journey that incorporates warm synth textures, pulsating basslines, and evolving percussion. While the track develops, it pulls listeners in deeper with ethereal synth pads and sweeping atmospheric elements, creating a sense of movement, while rhythmic progressions give the track its driving force. Rejecting conventional song structures, “Future Memories” is a cinematic loop that transports listeners into a transcendent soundscape. Fans can catch Ward Andrews play out “Future Memories” at his upcoming tour dates during Miami Music Week, including two shows at The Clevelander Rooftop, The Clevelander Pool, and Over Under.

Words by Alex Lambeau and Zach Salafia. MEDUZA, GENESI, Innellea, and Nu-La – “Edge Of The World” “Edge Of The World” arrives as a progressive, mega-collaboration between serial collaborators MEDUZA and Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 GENESI in tandem with Afterlife veteran Innellea. Landing via Insomniac Records, the multi-headed release employs Nu-La on its vocal and songwriting duties, following her numerous hits that include “Believe,” “In My Head,” “Oblivion,” and “Love Again.” Henri Bergmann & Wennink – “Secrets Too Soon” and “Secrets Too Soon (19.26 Remix)“ A release over a year in the making, “Secrets Too Soon” from Henri Bergmann and Wennink has finally found its home on Insomniac’s Interstellar imprint. Named a Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025, Henri Bergmann has concocted a blend of chilling vocals that are masterfully layered over stirring synths that provide a fresh take on the hybrid between Afro- and melodic house. The single also arrives packaged with a powerful remix courtesy of 19.26 that’s been igniting crowds at events like Afterlife Tulum, Giza Pyramids, Théâtre antique d’Orange, and many more. His remix preserves the original’s lyrical build while introducing a heavier approach, creating a striking contrast to the more toned-down original. Maesic, Marshall Jefferson, and Salomé Das – “Life Is Simple” Continuing the run of Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 releases recognized in this week’s release radar is Maesic, who is hailed for his fusion of nostalgic and modern sounds, which has enabled him to carve out a niche within the Afro- and melodic house world. “Life Is Simple” serves as the perfect follow-up to Maesic’s pairing with Bipolar Sunshine, featuring memorable lyrics drawn from Marshall Jefferson’s 1987 classic Move Your Body and Holstee’s “Manifesto,” which was further popularized through Touchtalk’s 2020 single, “Change It.” With this masterful blend of two iconic melodies, Maesic has delivered a fresh and captivating take on the famed original. Zeds Dead – Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness [Album] Zeds Dead have returned with a new album for the first time since their 2021 LP, Catching Z’s.

The news we’d been waiting for decades. What a wonderful day it is. Some things make you beg for them to occur. And such is the case with today’s freshest, hottest Trance news. Oliver Smith is a guy you could say has had an incredibly important role in the Dance scene, having contributed records far and wide for the greater part of the last quarter of a century. And he’s just announced his first-ever long play, Footprints, is coming out soon. Very soon, in fact. A defining sound for the entirety of Trance in the 21st Century, Olli can be seen in his standalone Oliver Smith records like ‘Pacific‘ from 2009 (one of my favourite songs ever), in the entirety of the Smith & Pledger project alongside Mark Pledger, which would include their ‘Believe (2004 Mix)‘ (also one of my favourite songs ever), and even the first non-A&B signing to Anjunabeats, Aspekt’s ‘Mobetta‘ (would you guess, it’s also one of my favourite tracks in the world). The first signed to Anjuna other than Above & Beyond, and the only artist to contribute to each and every Anjunabeats Volume compilation, it was only fitting for Smith to release something this close to his heart and this relevant to his career at his London home, of the large-A-logo’d imprint. Olli’s Footprints is coming out on May 2nd, 2025. The Story Behind Footprints “I’ve been releasing music for years, but my own album always took a backseat“, Olli mentions. “When I finally started the project I had so many ideas and was unsure where to begin. I decided to embrace the process and let the destination reveal itself“. This, he says, inspired ‘Footprints’, the title for the album, as even the tracks that didn’t make it left an imprint and were a necessary part of the journey. The music reflects my love for melody and groove, carrying an overall sense of hope and positivity. I put a lot of thought into making sure every track had something special and truly deserved its place on the album. I think people will recognise the thread that connects all my releases, and hopefully, they’ll enjoy the new directions I’ve explored as well. -Oliver Smith The first single lifted from the album, ‘Breathe’, alongside Midnite Amity, is out now for you to have a listen.

It’s been over eight years since this trailblazing duo released an album, but today bass heads worldwide felt the Earth tremble when Zeds Dead dropped Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness. This 14-track opus is their gift of self-expression to the world. As you listen, the music takes you to alternate dimensions, jumping across all parallel universes from track to track. From Toronto, Canada, Zeds Dead (Dylan “DC” Mamid and Zachary “Hooks” Rapp-Rovan) has performed at shows since 2010 with music that many, at the time, did not understand what it was. Although they knew they loved it. Zeds Dead never aimed for attendees to just bob their heads when they performed: they wanted them to be so consumed, that the music shook their bones, they lost control, and the entire crowd danced like no one is watching. And that’s exactly what they have accomplished for 15 years. Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness The first three releases, ‘One Of These Mornings,’ ‘Sweet Memories,’ and ‘Heartbeat‘ have already given us a taste of how the sounds are always in a perpetual state of flux, but are seamlessly dynamic and intentional. You may have already noticed that classic, retro televisions with static or flickering screens have been used for the visuals for these songs. This idea comes from the duo’s idea of randomly tuning into different broadcasts from the past century. Incorporating their love of sampling into the album, this odyssey gives you a diverse collection from their hip-hop roots to all the experimental sounds that they are known and loved for. In 2017, a dream provided the phrase: Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. They were entertained by it so much that they made it a permanent tweet. Six years passed, and the phrase was long forgotten. That was until an unexpected fan resurfaced the phrase. This provoked a moment of realization that it perfectly captures the album’s theme. “In making ‘Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness’, we really connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is. Throwing whatever crossed our minds at the wall and seeing what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except for our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and the product is something we can both fully stand behind.” -Zeds Dead Now, it is your time to allow the sounds to materialize, disintegrate, and collide in your life as you embrace the spontaneous creation of pure joy.

Embarking in a sonic journey of a lifetime. Progressive producer trio Meduza recruit Melodic Techno artists Innellea and GENESI for the cosmic track ‘Edge Of The World’ featuring singer and songwriter Nuala’s dance music project: Nu-La. Avaiable on Insomniac Records, the track fuses the styles of this amazing group of producers to provide a one of a kind listening experience. ‘Edge Of The World’ The track is a force to reckon with, with soothing reverbed vocals and haunting echoes that star in the track. The melodic elements are beautiful, as the sound engineering of the track allows multiple instruments to blend together in harmony. The string arrangements are inspiring and catchy, making your body groove to the rhythm. The build-ups are ethereal and the echoes bounce across your hearing channel, uplifting your spirit into a magnificent drop. The track is an astronomical journey, led by Nu-La’s romantic vocals. In effect, this is an amazing song, guaranteed to close out a set or a festival the best way possible. This follows the recent collaborative Freak EP between Meduza and GENESI on Solomun’s Diynamic Music record label. However, this is just a fragment of their joint work. GENESI has released tracks on Meduza’s Aeterna Records in the last few years. Moreover, they have shared the stage together multiple times, including Our House, Meduza’s and James Hype’s production. Innellea’s influence in this track is clear, after an incredible year for him on tour, this is the start of an upgraded sound for him. The German artist released his magnun opus The Belonging album, segmenting him as one of the artists to look out for in the Melodic Techno scene. Moreover, the Nu-La project has borne fruits for the vocalist. Not only did she release this wonder of a track, but has already offered her voice to industry giants like Kaskade, Gryffin, and Benny Bennasi. Meduza The trio is standing tall at the edge of their own world. Matt, Luca, and Simone announced their new project Meduza^3 last month. A hybrid live concept with a grand piano and live synths added to DJing landing in Ibiza this summer. However, it is expected for them to tour the world. Moreover, the Italian ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ authors are landing in Vegas for a new residency at Zouk Nightclub in Resorts World, starting later this month.

Heldeep label boss Oliver Heldens returns to his tastemaking imprint with his first release of the year, ‘Let You Go‘. A bold evolution of Heldens’ sound, the track blends Eurodance nostalgia with a fierce, high energy old-school trance edge. While the production of ‘Let You Go’ hits with full force, Heldens wrote and recorded the vocals himself, bringing a deeper layer, carrying the weight of letting go while pushing toward something more significant. A contrast fuels the intensity- a melancholic raw emotion met with an unstoppable drive, ‘Let You Go,’ sees Heldens step into new territory, delivering a potent mix of feeling and fire. ‘Let You Go’ is a song about saying goodbye, letting a loved one go, and moving on. It originated in April last year after Heldens played a show in Tokyo; the love/energy from the Japanese fans was quite overwhelming, in a positive way. Here is what the man himself had to say on the upbringing of this new record: ‘I was pretty hyped after the show and jetlagged so I couldn’t sleep. I ended up meditating, but instead of cooling down from that, it got me in kind of an ecstatic yet also melancholic mood. Right after that, in the shower, I started riffing melodies in my head, kind of inspired by one of my all-time favorite trance tracks, Chicane’s ‘Saltwater,’ and in the end, one of the melodies I came up with really stuck with me, so I recorded a voice note in my phone. The next day, I turned it into the first version, the instrumental track of ‘Let You Go,’ titled ‘Tokyo Shower Trance’ at the time. A few months later, after playing a HI-LO show in Chile while traveling to Lima, Peru, I came up with the lyrics for the song, and a few days later, I recorded them in Vancouver in my hotel room, singing them on my phone. I re-recorded the vocals when I got back in Amsterdam again, and after a lot of altering and adding vocoders/synths, it quickly became one of my favorite songs that I’ve done in the last couple of years. Enjoy! :)’ Catch Oliver Heldens on the road as he traverses the globe with hard-hitting shows at destination events such as Don’t Let Daddy Know (Romania and Chile), Parookaville, îLESONIQ, and more. For now, you can listen to ‘Let You Go’ below and on all available streaming platforms. Stay tuned for more news!

The annual pilgrimage of electronic dance music fans to Miami’s Bayfront Park is once again facing scrutiny, as concerned downtown residents voiced their frustrations at a recent town hall meeting. Organized by the Downtown Neighbors Alliance, the gathering brought together Ultra Music Festival organizers, City of Miami Police, and residents, highlighting the ongoing tension between the event’s economic impact and the quality of life for those living in its immediate vicinity. The core issue? Noise. For many residents, the three-day festival, scheduled for March 28-30, transforms their homes into a sonic battleground. In the town hall, The residents’ concerns paint a picture of a city growing and evolving, with its residents feeling increasingly at odds with the massive event. The shift from a largely commercial district to a thriving residential area has amplified the impact of the festival’s noise levels. Manuel Perez, a long-time downtown resident, echoed this sentiment, arguing that the evolving landscape of downtown Miami necessitates a change of venue for Ultra. “Downtown Miami has changed. There are a lot of families, there are a lot of people living and enjoying the life of the downtown in Miami,” Perez stated. “The Ultra Music Festival is way too much; it’s too disruptive.” Raymond Martinez, head of security for Ultra, addressed the residents’ concerns, emphasizing the festival’s commitment to adhering to city guidelines. “Our agreement with the city and with the Bayfront Park Trust is, in addition to that monitoring, we have sound monitoring at each stage,” Martinez explained. “It’s 16 feet from the stage, whatever the decibel number is according to the park guidelines, we monitor that, as well as the sound that hits the building.” The history of Ultra in Miami is a long one. Starting in Miami Beach in 1999 and moving to Bayfront Park, the festival has become a staple of the city’s event calendar, barring a single year off during the COVID-19 pandemic. The event’s consistent sell-out status underscores its popularity, but the ongoing discord with residents highlights the delicate balancing act between entertainment and community well-being.

The Brooklyn Mirage is planning for something huge. They dropped a new teaser trailer of their redesign and it looks stunning. From the trailer, it appears an almost 360-degree screen will be built. A new roof with lighting also looks to be in the works. Huge almost Roman-looking columns will support the structure from the sides. The Mirage has certainly set out to address all the concerns of attendees in years past. An expanded dance floor and table service lining the walls will be special. Just 3 years ago, the New York venue renovated by installing their famous screen seen around the world. If you remember the old mirage, there were pillars scattered around the dance floor, which they also removed. The Brooklyn Mirage was voted best large club in North America and peaked at #8 overall in the world in 2023. They have already announced some impressive programming for the 2025 season including The Chainsmokers, Alesso, Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers, Excision, Rezz, Tape B, and many more. Cityfox Regenerate has been chosen to debut the new and improved Mirage. The post Brooklyn Mirage Previews Redesign in New Trailer appeared first on EDMTunes.

We’ve got a very powerful and intriguing release for you today. Year after year, we’ve seen a steady rise of female producers enter — and crush it in — the Dance music industry, which is lovely to see. We’ve got a case-in-point today regarding that very topic, for two masterful artists, WHIPPED CREAM and Andrea Botez, have joined forces to release ‘Erased‘, their debut collaborative single. Just ahead of International Women’s Day (the 8th), this track acts both as proof of their incredible talent, and as a tribute to the date itself. And it also comes at a great point for both artists’ careers. On one hand, WHIPPED CREAM recently launched her Careline EP in January, after being listed in 1001 Tracklists’ Top 101 Producers of 2024, and ahead of playing Beyond Wonderland and Tomorrowland Belgium. On the other hand, Andrea Botez has juggled both the music and chess careers of hers in elegant fashion, recently remixing top-tier artists Boris Brejcha and Kaskade. ‘Erased’ @zeustate A collaboration of sorts, this track blends light and dark in such a way that it makes for an absolutely joyful experience. WHIPPED CREAM refers to ‘Erased’ as “Dark Techno collides with Melodic House, blending deep, emotive vocals with an unrelenting groove and unstoppable energy“. She’s also very eager to have this track out now, stating “I cannot wait for the world to experience it, especially in celebration of International Women’s Day“. Meanwhile, Andrea tells a bit of an insight into the track’s creation: “I fell in love with WHIPPED CREAM’s sound when I first heard her haunting yet beautiful vocals and knew immediately we had to combine our two unique styles. I sent Caroline my first ‘Tech House’ demo, and her writing for ‘Erased’ transformed the track into a Techno anthem. We both pulled from past experiences, and her vocals even inspired me to add some of my own as an Easter egg“. ‘Erased’ kicks off with a haunting atmosphere and WHIPPED CREAM’s vocals. As floaty as everything is, the beat soon picks up the pace and transforms the track into a powerful Techno sampler. The track has intentions to become completely dark, but the contrast with the vocals and melodic elements truly elevates it a step beyond that, to create an unexpected perfect pairing.

Top electronic artists MEDUZA and underground legends INNELLEA & GENESI have put out a new song called “Edge Of The World,” which you can get now from Insomniac Records. We wanted ‘Edge Of The World’ to take people on a journey and fully immerse the listener into the music. Collaborating with GENESI and INNELLEA allowed us to merge melodic energy with unique sonic identities, creating a track with a big vocal that feels both powerful and emotional. We’ve been playing it in our sets for months and seeing the crowd’s reaction has been incredible. We’re excited to finally share it. – MEDUZA When German techno artist INNELLEA, Italian virtuoso DJ/producer and longtime collaborator GENESI, and one of dance music’s most exciting new voices, Nu-La, work together on “Edge Of The World,” it sounds like a cyclone of happiness with echoes of another world. This collaboration with MEDUZA and Genesi is super exciting for me as it shows a completely different side of my music. It’s incredible to see so many people are already singing the lyrics before the song is even released. Music has the power to bring people together, and Edge Of The World is a perfect example of that, blending different worlds into one uplifting journey. – Innellea You have to push yourself, go into the dark, and chase something bigger than yourself in “Edge of the World.” The track gets the restless feeling of wanting more: more intensity, more connection, more escape. It’s made up of driving electronic energy and a sound that looks to the future. “Take me to the edge of the world with you” is more than just a line of music—it’s a moment of giving up and trusting what will happen next. This album is meant to hit you hard and stay with you because of its lively music and honest feelings. INNELLEA, a name that stands for musical reinvention, is on the song. You can hear Innellea’s experimental way of producing music all over “Edge Of The World,” which is made up of driving spheres, impulsive energy, and rhythmic depth. ‘Edge Of The World’ takes a different direction from my recent releases, bringing a more melodic feel and a powerful vocal that really resonates. Working with MEDUZA and INNELLEA has pushed me to explore new creative heights and draw on my fullest potential. Mixing our sounds elevated the record into something truly special, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it – GENESI Genezi, who has worked with the band for a long time, is also on the new song. Even though GENESI is new to the music scene, his song “Everything You Have Done” has already gotten a lot of attention. It has over 58 million streams on Spotify, hit #1 on Beatport, and been supported by top DJs all over the world. ‘Edge of the World’ is about the experience of finding freedom and euphoria with someone you love. Matthew Ker (Majiker) and I wrote the topline back in early 2024, which was then sent on to MEDIZA team. They loved the demo, and brought in Genesi and INNELLEA who added their individual stamp on the record. The final product is a great example of the collaborative process, and we’re excited to get this one out with Insomniac for March” – Nu-La The group’s new song comes out right before they play the main stage at EDC Las Vegas later today. It’s the latest big step in an amazing year for Italy’s biggest streaming act. In particular, their idea for the Our House club, which they worked on with James Hype, sold out London’s DRUMSHEDS in 2024. They also put out “Fire,” which is the official song for the UEFA Euro 2024. They played it at the Live Final Pre-Match in front of 75,000 people, as well as millions of people around the world. Recently, they released the big dance record “Another World,” which features HAYLA, who is nominated for a Grammy. Like their music, MEDUZA is always thinking about the future and creating the future of modern dance. As 2025 goes on, MEDUZA get ready to reach even higher levels with bigger shows and new, exciting music.
