[UKF] Counting down to High Tea Festival
2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for T & Sugah. With their latest release ‘Louder’ kicking things off this year, they are now working towards the first indoor edition of their very own High Tea Festival. What started in 2011 as a musical collaboration between the two, grew to become the High Tea Music label in 2016, with the first Festival in 2022. With years of experience as producers and numerous sold-out events under their belt, they know the scene inside and out. “Go hard and be home,” that’s High Tea’s motto. At the end of March, they will be taking over the entire Melkweg. This is a venue in Amsterdam with three concert venues, a movie theatre, an exhibition hall, and more. It promises to be a festival celebrating all aspects of the rave experience, ranging from showings of drum & bass documentaries and board games, to the biggest dancefloor drum & bass (live) acts of the moment and a silent disco. We had a chat with Philippe from T & Sugah, who has just returned from a US tour, to talk more about their plans for the Festival, their busy tour and release schedule, and everything else they’ve planned for us. Starting the year with a US tour, cool! How was it? I’ve had other artists tell me to not expect too much, so I went with that mindset, but I was positively surprised. The first show was already packed with fans. Many ravers wanted to take pictures, and there even were people with T & Sugah shirts at every show. Unbelievable! There was a lot more hype, and we had a lot more fans than I expected. It was especially crazy because while I was in America, Robin was in New Zealand, headlining a festival with Alcemist and playing a run of club shows. So clearly 2025 started out amazingly for us. While touring the world, you’re also preparing for your biggest High Tea Festival so far, on the 28th of March. Six different areas, that sounds quite impressive. Are you looking forward to this? After 3 months of solo shows, the first time we (T & Sugah) will finally play together again, will be at High Tea in Amsterdam. The fact that we are playing together for the first time at our own event, I think that’s an amazing sign. I am especially looking forward to that event, as we will be creating a new drum & bass experience in the heart of Amsterdam. Showing more than “just” the music, by for instance including a cinema where we will show drum & bass documentaries, a silent disco, and live acts. We’re even taking things a step further by adding an exhibition space filled with art exploring the intimate and complex relationship between identity, desire, and self-expression from a female perspective. While also adding a complete bar area with board games to just sit back and hang out with your friends. In our cinema, I’m especially looking forward to the premiere we’re hosting of “Resonance Beyond Borders: The Sounds of Ukraine”. This documentary takes you on a journey following several Ukrainian drum & bass DJs as they reflect on all that has happened (and is happening) during the ongoing war. It includes very emotional footage, up to the point of seeing the insides of a bomb shelter. One of the artists involved in the documentary, Thelena, will be playing that night. A must-see! Why do you think it’s important to show these documentaries at your festival? Music connects, and we live in a time with incredible gaps between people, between left and right, rich and poor. It’s only about ourselves, about “us and them”. Music has always been a connecting factor between all people. Every day people don’t desire war; they simply want to live their lives and enjoy the beauty of music. Through the Sounds of Ukraine’s documentary, I hope we can illuminate the different sides of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Despite our differences, the love for music, in this case D&B, is a bond we all share. This cinema is only one of the six rooms that you will take over during the festival. How did you come up with the idea of using all six halls of the venue? We’ve been organising parties and have been in the scene for quite a while now. At some point, you know the drill and you crave for a new experience. You want to create something new for your audience. And given that Melkweg had a cinema, we thought, why not show drum & bass documentaries? Then, when you want to chill, instead of going into a smoking area, you walk straight into an actual cinema! And then we started thinking, what else can we do? We wanted a bar area, with board games. And expositions, because when I first started raving (I went to places like OT301 and Ruigoord, for those who know), I always enjoyed walking around the venues and exploring all the (street) art surrounding you. Nothing more fun to me than discovering new corners, new vibes, and new areas. People are definitely more open to having some down time at a rave nowadays. It doesn’t all have to be loud music and flashing lights. Absolutely. Well, you can always go outside if you want to get away for a second, but it’s cold, there’s no music, less vibes… You want places where you can relax and have less stimuli, before going out to the music again. What else do you have planned for the Festival? We’re also going to do a 360-stage in one of the halls. People love it. Another thing I can already tell you is that we’re going back to back with Vibe Chemistry as the closing set of the festival! We’ve known him for years, and fun fact, he’s known for rocking the original “High T-Shirt” during his shows, so we thought this would close off the night in a strong way. We’re bringing Metrik, Mozey and Turno to Amsterdam as well. I’ve been a fan of Metrik for years, and I’ve gotten to know him pretty well over the years. It’s always nice to have him back at our parties. We have a few artists from the label coming. Natty Lou, for example, who has released a lot of music on High Tea. We’ve got Feed the Fire and Comet, two of our fast-rising artists. Who released a lot with us and are also signed at our agency. We also wanted to include more live elements, because at a festival, you want to have a little more of that live feeling. That’s why we chose to invite Keeno and Ruth Royall. We also invited Hato, who is known to play more of a multigenre set. We really want to create a different experience, and because we have multiple halls, we can do it. So all three of the DJ halls have their own theme? I would say that the main hall is going to have more of a dancefloor/jump-up D&B style. The second hall will have more diverse DJs on the line-up earlier in the evening, with some live stuff, more multigenre… Room 3 will showcase the High Tea artists, and this room will also have a silent disco! All the way upstairs at Melkweg, in a small room. Really cosy. You’ve been organising parties with High Tea for nine years now. Have you noticed a change in the scene? The scene is always changing. When we started High Tea, we were putting a lot of dubstep on the line-up, but we don’t do that anymore. Deep and liquid used to be a lot bigger as well, but now jump-up is all the hype. Things are always changing, you never know what’s coming next. Every five years you have a whole new generation of ravers who want different things. Right now, everything has to be harder, everything has to be faster. But the next generation might be the opposite because the next generation of ravers will look at the previous one as “old people”. It’s the same with grandparents, parents, and children, really. You never like what your parents like. Ravers will also not like what the older ravers like, but that’s the interesting thing about the genre. New generations bring in new ideas, and new thoughts about the world, new philosophies and that is reflected in the music being released. The current “new” generation lives life at a faster pace than previous generations. Therefore you see the music becoming more intense as well. The older generation wasn’t really into swiping on TikTok, but the new generation was born with it. I’m very curious what the next generation will be like. God knows. Everything is possible, and that’s the beauty of it. There always have to be new ideas, otherwise the genre comes to a standstill, and that’s the worst that could happen. Some heads say, “It always has to be deep music” and “This is real drum & bass,” but if everyone did the same thing, it would be so boring. It has to change. There have to be new ideas. And you’re going to hate some of the new ideas. But that’s okay. And how do you adapt to those changes? I think you unconsciously always adapt because you’re being influenced by your surroundings. Every time I listen to new drum & bass and new subgenres, I always find something in there that interests me. The moment that happens, when there’s that spark, I feel inspired and I go with it. “When you do what you did, you will get what you got,” I think that’s a nice saying. You have to do other things, otherwise you get the same old end product. That’s a good way of looking at it! Where else do you find inspiration? New people come with new sounds and new ideas, and sometimes, I find inspiration in my own music. I get inspired by the people I’m booking, by the sound I’m hearing at High Tea events, by the sound of our releases at the label. There are a lot of other artists who inspire me, and sometimes I find inspiration outside of the drum & bass genre, in a hip-hop song for example. Other times I find inspiration in a mistake which suddenly starts sounding cool. Musical inspiration can be found in everything. Absolutely! Your new single ‘Louder’ came out recently. Can you tell me more about this track, and about what other releases you have planned? Yes! ‘Louder’ is what we call in the industry a “self-release”, meaning we released it on our own record label without the support of other labels. Interestingly while doing that, the track has still been supported by some of the biggest release bass playlists, such as Liquicity and UKF. We also had some really big influencers on board like Majed and Hato, BBC Radio 1 was supporting as well as 3FM in the Netherlands. Looking back at it now we’ve actually reached all of the goals we wanted to reach with this release, which is quite bizarre. All of the playlists on our wishlist, all the radio plays we wanted, all the influencers. And best of all: we got to work on this release with our own team, our own label manager, our own marketers (who once started as our interns). It’s a great feeling to work in a team with the people you love. And then for the rest of 2025, every month we’re planning to do something big! We’re releasing a Liquicity single next month, the month after that we’re probably going to put out a collab with Don Diablo. A month after that we have S.P.Y., who has done a remix for us coming out on UKF. The month after that we might do our biggest DnB Allstars single so far. And then in between all of this there’s a remix for Friction that’s coming out and we also got asked for a remix of Rudimental and Hybrid Minds, while we’re working on a collabs with LUUDE and ROVA… It’s absolutely crazy! I love seeing how with ‘Lose Control’ and ‘Lo Lo’ and ‘Danger’, a true new era for T & Sugah has begun. A lot happening! What’s the next milestone you want to reach? That’s one of the questions keeping me awake at night. The problem with goals is, when you achieve your goal, what’s next? I’ll give you an example. Our original goal was to play in the Storing, a bar that is now closed in our hometown Haarlem. There are maybe 100 people that fit in there. Our ultimate goal was to play there, so then when you do that you find yourself thinking: now what? Then you want to play in the Melkweg. Afterwards, you think, what now? “I want to play on Rampage,” but then you get to tick that off. Your goal is always moving up. Until recently, the goal was a world tour. But then I started thinking, we played Canada, the US, New Zealand, and Europe, all of them in 2024. That’s starting to look like a world tour, right? I would like to do more of a connected tour, though, because now the ‘ world tour’ consists of separate mini-tours, so to speak. But there will be a time when we have achieved that too. And then what will you do? Do it a second time? Or are we going to Mars? At some point you’re on a level where you can only repeat the process, so another single or another headline show, but go bigger and better each time. You’ve been making music with T & Sugah for around 10 years now. Did you think you would reach your goals this fast? On the one hand, you can’t imagine ever reaching your goals when you set them, but on the other hand, you want it to happen now. And when it happens, you expect it to be this big moment, and you can lean back and say, “Look at what we just reached.” But in reality, you already have some new goals set for yourself. Therefore I have to tell myself, “Enjoy that journey!” The planning and seeing everything unfold, noticing the pieces fall into place… That is the best thing about it all. So I force myself once in a while to enjoy all of the goals that we reach, small and big. Like our US tour, for example. What I often do when on tour is open Google Maps, look at my location, zoom out, and then let that sink in. That’s where you are now. That’s how you force that feeling of, “Dude, I did this.” In the madness of travelling around, jetlagging, socializing, etc, it can be hard to find a moment to really cherish it all. Sometimes you just have to take that moment, and that can be a really nice feeling. What’s next for you? I’m just accelerating. There are a lot of shows coming in. Our calendar is twice as full, our release schedule packed to the max, and this summer we’re going to play at a ton of drum & bass festivals. Rampage, Liquicity, Let It Roll, D&B Allstars, Hospitality on the Beach, Tomorrowland, etc… If you had told me a few years ago, I would not have believed you. So to say I’m really excited about everything is an understatement!

[EDM.com] A 105-Year-Old Woman Is Getting Her Birthday Wish: A Rave
When Hilda Jackson was born, the idea of a "rave" would have been about as foreign a concept as TikTok dances and Boiler Room. Fast-forward 105 years, and the English woman is about to prove that basslines and glowsticks are just as much for centenarians as they are for kids exploring their first music festival. Set to celebrate her 105th birthday on February 25th, Jackson, according to BBC News, has one request: a full-fledged rave at her Derbyshire care home, complete with a live DJ, ultraviolet paint and all the neon accessories required for a proper night out—albeit one that presumably wraps up before sunrise. Staff at Holbrook Hall, where Jackson now resides, are reportedly making sure she gets exactly that, honoring a woman they say has always been one to live life to the fullest. "She’s constantly on the go, very determined, and very aware of what she wants," said care home manager Rebecca Wass. "She’s always been a big fan of dancing and partying." BBC News The residential care home's upcoming party will feature classic dance anthems spanning the decades, and guests—fellow residents included—will have the chance to request their own tracks. A known tennis enthusiast, Jackson spent her younger years traveling, working in a fabrics factory and even producing munitions during World War II. Now, in her 11th decade, she’s proving that the only thing better than a lifetime of lived experience is extending that streak well past 100. To mark the milestone, staff have also put out a request for birthday cards, hoping to flood Jackson with messages from around the world. "We want to show just how loved Hilda is," Wass added.

[EDM.com] Electronic Music Meets "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" in Outrageous New Rave Tour
In the wildest crossover since Chardee MacDennis met beer pong, electronic music fans across the country are preparing to dance their nights away at "SUNNY RAVE," a tour inspired by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Organized by Austin-based electronic artist dj pressed, the tour is taking the absurd and chaotic energy of "The Gang" to new levels. "My personality is pretty much a string of Always Sunny references, loud electronic noises and desperate cries for attention, so the 'SUNNY RAVE Tour' has been a great outlet for me," pressed tells EDM.com. "It’s also the best way I can pay homage to what I think is the greatest comedy series of all-time." Attendees have showed up in everything from Green Man suits to pigeon costumes, transforming dancefloors into living tributes to Philly's most dysfunctional bar crew. The events feature countless creative interpretations of the show's most memorable moments, like remixes of Charlie Kelly's "Nightman" song and Dennis Reynolds' "I haven't even begun to peak" monologue. View the original article to see embedded media. "I think some DJs take themselves far, far too seriously, so I enjoy putting an incredibly serious amount of effort into incredibly unserious things," pressed added. "I would much rather get weird to giant Danny DeVito visuals while dressed as a bird-person than fight for shoulder space amongst lifestyle influencers in the hopes of filming a kick drum." Visuals of DeVito's Frank Reynolds—the deranged, morally bankrupt father figure of It's Always Sunny—only scratch the surface of the tour's dedication to the sitcom. Even its notices are branded—in a callback to Charlie's hilarious insistence that birds have certain legal rights, one reads: "This event is fan-made and is NOT affiliated with FXX or the show; this is legally compliant under section 3.5.1 of Bird Law." It's worth noting, however, that the official "SUNNY RAVE" disclaimer says the tour seeks to comply with all intellectual property laws under the terms of fair use. The "SUNNY RAVE" tour has already hit Seattle, Austin and other major cities. It's now primed to take over Denver, Las Vegas and Cleveland in March. You can purchase tickets to the "SUNNY RAVE" tour here.

[EDM House Network] Skrillex Treats Fans To Brand New Music
One week after sending out ‘Bibis Tower’ to all fans who subscribed to his mail list, Skrillex sent out another surprise track today. Titled ‘Scut,’ the song is one of the artist’s most anticipated IDs, having been played for the first time at Lost Lands 2023 by Infekt. Featuring a riddim sound, ‘Scut’ focuses on taking fans through an instrumental journey, rather than a lyrical experience. After reinventing his style and releasing various genres of music since his comeback, Skrillex‘s new song has a feeling of nostalgia and can remind listeners of the classics that raised him to fame. The free release of ‘Scut’ can also be considered a gift to his supporters as Skrillex‘s second studio album, ‘Quest For Fire’ turned two years old today. Teasing all this new music in people’s inboxes through a post on social media four weeks ago, Skrillex fans are now wondering if this could be a sign of a new album coming soon. The American DJ is set to be performing at Ultra Music Festival in March, making his return after ten years. His set is one of the most awaited, and it could be a great opportunity for Sonny to drop some fresh music on one of the world’s biggest stage. Besides this, in November 2024, Skrillex announced on X that his partnership with Atlantic Records will come to an end with his next official project, becoming an independent artists from that moment onwards. The DJ and producer expressed his excitement about this new ‘independent’ beginning through a post on social media platform X: “Now I’m able to rethink / relook at how structures are designed. I want to find ways to simplify decimating music and art.” Finally, the artist also spoke about how strange the term “independent” is in the music industry and how he will still depend on his team to put together what he does. Only time will tell what’s to come next for Skrillex, but it seems like things are moving in the right direction for him and new exciting stuff is on the way from the EDM legend.

[EDM.com] Listen: Skrillex Quietly Drops Long-Awaited Dubstep Track, "Scut" in Fans' Email Inboxes
The email arrived quietly, with a subject line so nondescript it could have easily been mistaken for a routine work message: "Mix test." No announcement, no cryptic social media tease, just an unassuming note from Skrillex himself. "Good Monday from my mixing room in Los Angeles," the body of today's email reads. "Hope you are keeping well." Fans who opened the attachment expecting further pleasantries were instead met with something far more explosive: a preview of his unreleased track, "Scut." A primal, unfiltered slab of vintage Skrillex dubstep, the track is a reminder of the sound that made him the face of a movement. The track is a hyper-mechanical behemoth where guttural dubstep growls, barking vocals and bullet shell casing samples battle for dominance, amplifying its unhinged ethos. This is Skrillex tapping into his roots, evoking the reckless energy of his early 2010s era—but with a decade’s worth of sharpened instincts behind it. Skrillex has not confirmed an official release at the time of this writing. There's also no streaming link—just an artist, his music and a direct line to his fans. "I’ve got control of my website/email address now, so I can start sending stuff any time I want," he recently wrote on X. What comes next remains a mystery, but if this moment serves as any guide, it’s that Skrillex is moving on his own terms. You can listen to the unreleased audio of "Scut" in the clip below.

[EDM.com] "The World Pushed Against You": How a Stuttering DJ Found His Voice Through Electronic Music
There's a certain irony in the fact that one of electronic music's most compelling new voices built his career around the challenge of using his actual voice. In his new documentary, The World Pushed Against You, Shrimpnose reveals how electronic music became his truest form of expression in a world that all too often demands verbal fluency. The DJ and producer, whose whose real name is Riley Smithson, has navigated a stutter since the age of five. About 1% of the world's adults live with a stutter, the cause of which remains unknown—and it's a vicious plight. Bullying, depression and self-esteem issues are nearly universal in young stutterers, who worry each time they open their mouths to speak and hinge on every syllable. The documentary, which takes its name from his latest studio album, weaves together performance footage—including a breakthrough set at Shambhala Music Festival—with intimate glimpses into his creative sanctuary. "Music for me has always been the thing that makes me feel most connected to the world," Smithson says. "I think part of it is that music has always felt like the easiest language that I can express myself in... I have a pretty bad stutter that comes out sometimes." "Verbally expressing myself has always kind of been an obstacle. I found that music was a way I could communicate without any blocks. I was just completely fluent." c/o Nettwerk Music Group The paradox at the heart of Smithson's new documentary isn't lost on anyone: a musician whose stutter led him to create fluid, eloquent electronic music. His atmospheric productions, characterized by textured ambient beats and hypnotic vocal elements, take on deeper meaning when viewed through the lens of his personal journey. The documentary's title, The World Pushed Against You, perfectly encapsulates the tension between personal struggle and artistic redemption. But rather than dwelling in difficulty, Shrimpnose's story celebrates the discovery of one's authentic voice, even when it manifests in unexpected forms. His journey from a child grappling with verbal expression to an artist commanding festival stages demonstrates how limitations can become catalysts for unique creative perspectives. In both his music and this documentary, Smithson reminds us that fluency comes in many forms, and sometimes our greatest obstacles lead us to our most powerful means of connection.

[EDMTunes] Tiësto and Afrojack’s Ex-Attorney Sentenced To Tax Fraud
Frank Butselaar, a prominent tax attorney known for representing world-famous DJs Tiësto and Afrojack, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for tax fraud in New York. A serious blow to Butselaar, a 65-year-old consultant dubbed the “taxman to the stars” by the Dutch press. Tax Fraud This outcome of the fraud could provide advantageous for Butselaar’s clients Afrojack and Tiësto. The court has ordered Butselaar to pay an astonishing $19.25 million in restitution. This is the amount that federal prosecutors allege he helped the two DJs save from 2012 to 2018. Done through a complex web of offshore tax shelters in Cypress and Guernsey. Butselaar would file tax paperwork indicating that his clients’ friends and family members were the beneficiaries of those shell corporations and trusts. In a significant twist, the authorities are demanding that Butselaar, bear the financial responsibility to the IRS. Both Tiësto and Afrojack, also Dutch citizens, have not faced any charges related to this tax shelter scheme. Prosecutors have emphasized that the DJs were unaware of Butselaar’s fraudulent tactics. During this period, both Tiësto and Afrojack were classified as U.S. tax residents due to their temporary stay in the country. Legally required to pay taxes on their worldwide income at the time. In 2017 Forbes estimated Tiesto earned $39 million in the last fule year that prosecutors say Butselaar ran his scheme. According to Butselaar’s lawyer, they have settled with the IRS for a small portion of the owed taxes. Butselaar, a former partner at Greenberg Traurig’s Amsterdam office, has pleaded guilty to one count of aiding in the filing of a false tax return, despite initially challenging the charges. He is left about six months of his sentence after spending 21 months in detention. Butselaar’s attorney strongly argues requiring him to pay the $19million sum is unjust, as he was not the taxpayer involved in the case. As of now, representatives of Afrojack and Tiësto have not responded to requests for comments regarding the situation. Stay tuned to EDMTunes for the latest news in the electronic music world.

[EDMTunes] Sandro Cavazza Says He Didn’t Approve Release Of Avicii ‘Forever Yours’ Demo
Sandro Cavazza, one-half of the hit record ‘Forever Yours‘ alongside Avicii, recently opened up on socials clarifying he’s against releasing the Demo version now out to the public. The artist, who allegedly has more unreleased material with Tim, made a statement on his social media mentioning he didn’t approve of the release of the track as a standalone single. “Just so you all know“, the statement starts, “I have not agreed on released this as a single. I have only agreed on releasing Tim’s demo version of Forever Yours as a part of a full live album release from Tim’s last show, but since that album wasn’t released today and this is now being portrayed as a single, featuring me, I feel like I need to speak up“. In his message he comments Tim’s family has insisted on him releasing the projects he had with the music star which never came to fruition, and that he’s constantly turned those requests down, saying “I don’t want to release any of those songs Without Tim being here. He is the only one who knew when his songs were finished and I do and will continue to respect that“.

The track unfolds in effortless waves, with twangy pluck bass pulsing and floating weightlessly beneath Balder’s vocals.

The Neighbors and Simone Vitullo have teamed up to release a powerful reimagining of ‘Back to Black’, featuring the exceptional vocals of Chloe Florence. Released on Go Deeva, this modern adaptation of the iconic Amy Winehouse track has resonated with audiences worldwide, achieving remarkable milestones across streaming platforms and charts. A PROJECT INSPIRED BY LEGENDARY MUSICThe idea for this project originated in the summer of 2022, when the announcement of the Back to Black biopic reignited a deep appreciation for Amy Winehouse’s legacy. Moved by her story and the raw emotion behind the original song, The Neighbors envisioned a contemporary interpretation that could thrive both in club environments and personal listening experiences. Initially conceived as an unofficial club edit incorporating Winehouse’s original vocals, the project took a transformative turn upon meeting Chloe Florence, a gifted singer-songwriter. Enthusiastic about the concept, Florence brought a fresh yet deeply emotive perspective to the track. The creative process involved extensive studio sessions, where multiple versions were explored to find the perfect balance between authenticity and innovation. The defining moment came when Florence moved beyond emulation and fully embraced her own vocal identity, allowing the cover to take on a unique and personal dimension. THE FINAL TOUCH: SIMONE VITULLO & GO DEEVAWhile the track had undeniable energy as a club anthem, the team sought to refine it for a broader audience. Enter Simone Vitullo, a renowned producer and head of Go Deeva Records, who was immediately captivated by the project. With his expertise, the track underwent a final evolution—elevating the synth work, restructuring key elements, and fine-tuning the overall production to ensure both club and radio appeal. The result is a compelling tribute to one of the most iconic songs of the 21st century, seamlessly blending electronic elements with soulful vocals while honoring the emotional depth of the original.

Since its release, Back to Black has climbed to the Top 5 of Beatport’s Afro House Top 100 and continues to hold a strong position in the Top 50 months later. The track has been Shazamed over 10,000 times and has amassed more than 150,000 streams on Spotify, a testament to its widespread appeal and impact.
