American powerhouse Cole Knight has revealed her latest work, “Going Higher.”Following Knight’s hit EP “Freak” from November 2024, this hypnotic house anthem, released on January 10th, represents her first annual offering. “Going Higher” delivers an addictive mix of pulsing house rhythms and painstakingly produced electronic production, living up to its name. The music’s basis is a persistent four-on-the-floor pulse blended with whirling synths to produce an immersive auditory environment. Knight’s unique vocals meld with the instrumental to provide the mechanical accuracy of the song’s human touch. This record distinguishes itself in part by Knight’s ability to bridge the gap between American and European electronic sensibilities. Knight offers a different viewpoint on her production, having cut her teeth in the US club scene before sailing across the Atlantic. The end result is a track that seems just as natural in a crowded London warehouse as it would at a Miami beach club. The output on “Going Higher” highlights Knight’s artistic development. Her “Freak” EP proved her to be a force to be reckoned with, but this most recent track shows fresh confidence in her sound design. While the well-programmed drum rhythms keep dancers tightly locked in the groove, the complex layering of synthesizer arpeggios generates a sense of endless motion. Now accessible on all main digital streaming platforms, the track is poised to infuse dancefloors and playlists all around with its contagious vitality.

With their most recent releases, Interstellar Recordings—the melodic echo of Insomniac Music Group—offers two contrasting works that wonderfully highlight the label’s adaptability across the electronic music scene. From peaceful deep house to pulsing techno, the albums by Warung & Elliot Vast and Hidden Empire highlight the range of contemporary electronic music. Warung and Elliot Vast’s “Racing Heart” is a masterwork in subtle evolution and emotional depth. The first plucked melody on the track provides a mesmerizing basis and instantly transports listeners into its complex soundscape. It is expertly written. The production’s enchantment comes from an ethereal voice joining the mix to add layers of mystique to the already mesmerizing environment. “Racing Heart” distinguishes itself, especially with its deft use of piano harmonies, which progressively increase in intensity and produce a natural and deliberate development. The arrangement is remarkably similar to Keinemusik’s distinctive sound, which fits very nicely with the present wave of chill-afro house dominating dancefloors worldwide. The production quality is flawless, letting every component breathe while maintaining a coherent audio story even if the speed stays slow. By comparison, Hidden Empire’s “Feel Free” carries listeners right to the core of Berlin’s underground techno scene. This high-energy presentation spends little time in establishing its aims and starts a fast-fire arrangement of hypnotic synthesizer work that grabs attention right away. The strong vocal presence of the music adds still another level of intensity, exactly balancing the powerful rhythmic basis. The production shines in its capacity to produce complex sound designs and preserve constant vigor. Any Berlin warehouse party would see the top-line synths falling into deep, underground-style drops that would feel natural. It’s evidence of Hidden Empire’s capacity to preserve their original artistic expression while yet capturing the core of contemporary techno.

If hotel walls could talk, the Marlin Hotel in Miami would have stories of EDM royalty echoing from every corner. Back in 2013, Avicii famously turned the boutique South Beach property into a living shrine to his music and brand during Miami Music Week. Now, two exclusive relics from that historic takeover—a duffel bag and bathrobe given only to VIP guests at the time—have cropped up in an online auction. Nearly 12 years ago, the late dance music icon transformed the Marlin into the Avicii Hotel, a 16-room fan experience that catered to VIPs and diehard fans flocking to Miami for Ultra Music Festival. The lavish experience included rooms named after his greatest hits, personalized welcome notes, Avicii-themed cocktails, and even branded toiletries. Among the most coveted items from the exclusive event were limited-edition duffel bags and bathrobes provided to guests staying at the hotel. eBay eBay The bag and robe, each emblazoned with bespoke Avicii branding, were designed as stylish yet functional keepsakes, unmistakably embodying the artist’s signature aesthetic. With only 16 rooms available, the exact number of these items produced remains unknown, but it's safe to say their scarcity only fuels their mystique. The sale comes at a poignant time for Avicii's legacy. Netflix on On New Year's Eve released Avicii – I'm Tim, a deeply personal documentary chronicling the life, struggles and musical genius of the dance music legend. Owning a piece of the late artist's history is akin to holding onto a fragment of a moment that defined the golden era of EDM and celebrated the genius of one of its most beloved artists. The duffel bag and bathrobe are now open for bidding on eBay.

Armin van Buuren and Omnia have joined forces for "Love," a track that feels equally at home in a grand architectural marvel as it does reverberating across a packed festival ground at midnight. From the outset, “Love” sets the tone with an ethereal melody that shimmers like light through stained glass. There’s a sacred quality to the opening bars as organ-like chords rise and fall, evoking a sense of awe and mysticism. But this serenity is short-lived, as the track quickly accelerates into a symphony of gated synths that crash like tidal waves. The layers are rich and textural, each reverberating with urgency creating a deeply energizing soundscape. The track's lyrics are received like a mantra that unites us with the music’s celestial pulse. Omnia’s signature melodic precision pairs seamlessly with van Buuren's unmatched ability to ignite a crowd, making “Love” a perfect fusion of their strengths.

For their profoundly poignant tune “Amado,” now available on Adriatique‘s esteemed Siamese imprint, Maxi Meraki collaborates with Orsay. Meraki’s expected debut on the label comes from the track, which has been a mainstay in Adriatique’s X party series all winter. ‘Amado‘ crosses conventional genre lines to combine the hypnotic pace of melodic techno with the natural warmth of Afro-house components. Resonant piano melodies dance above a foundation of complex percussion in the production, which masterfully combines analog synthesis and acoustic components. The end effect is an emotionally intense trip as well as a dance floor trigger. For Orsay, who wrote the song as an homage to his late father, the release has great personal meaning. “‘Amado,’ which means “loved ones,” came out of a place of intense thought and memory,” Orsay says. “A voice message from my father inspired the melodic structure; I turned that into the emotional core of the track.” After Orsay’s ‘Natura’ premiere went so well, this partnership offers a strong beginning to 2025. Industry heavyweights such RÜFÜS DU SOL, WhoMadeWho, Adriatique, and Carlita have already embraced the single as a potential defining sound of the electronic music scene of the year. Maxi Meraki’s Siamese debut marks a turning point since it shows his capacity to strike the mix between dancefloor utility and emotional depth. The release explains why Adriatique has been promoting the tune during their most recent shows: it allows the dancefloor to generate moments of group catharsis while preserving a close emotional link with listeners. ‘Amado’ is evidence of the ability of electronic music to turn personal experience into universal feeling, therefore bridging memory and movement, pain and celebration, past and present.

Boiler Room has been a revolutionary force in the music industry since its inception in 2010. Starting in a small London basement, the platform was built around a simple idea: to showcase music in its raw and unfiltered form. A single camera captured intimate performances by DJs in front of a modest crowd, while millions tuned in online. This stripped-back concept resonated with fans worldwide, offering them a window into underground music scenes they might never have discovered otherwise. Over time, Boiler Room expanded its reach and influence, hosting events in cities like Berlin, New York, and Tokyo. It became a global platform for a wide range of music genres, from garage and house to grime and jazz. The focus has always been on celebrating authenticity and giving a stage to both emerging and established artists. Performances such as Fred Again..’s 2022 set, which quickly gained millions of views, highlight the platform’s ability to amplify talent and connect artists with fans on a deeply personal level. The recent acquisition of Boiler Room by Superstruct Entertainment marks a pivotal moment in its history. Superstruct is a major player in the live music world, owning and operating some of the biggest festivals globally, including Sziget and Parookaville. This partnership combines Boiler Room’s expertise in digital broadcasting with Superstruct’s strength in live event production, creating opportunities for innovation in how music is experienced. For Boiler Room, this acquisition could mean access to resources that will allow it to grow even further while reaching new audiences. However, it also raises important questions. Will the platform maintain its commitment to underground music and its reputation as a champion for independent artists? Or will the influence of a larger corporate entity risk diluting the unique identity that has made Boiler Room so beloved? This acquisition reflects the growing importance of blending live and digital experiences in the music industry. It also highlights the value of platforms that can bring niche, underground scenes to a global stage. For fans, it is a reminder of the role they play in supporting authentic spaces that prioritize artistry over commercialism. The future of Boiler Room will depend on how this new chapter unfolds. As it integrates into Superstruct’s ecosystem, fans and artists alike will be hoping it retains the essence that made it a cultural icon while embracing the opportunities that come with this partnership.

Jaki Nelson has been carving her unique path in the world of Dance music, seamlessly blending emotionally charged melodies with high-energy beats that span across genres. From chart-topping Billboard hits to hundreds of millions of streams on Spotify, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer has consistently pushed creative boundaries. Her tracks have resonated far and wide, earning spots on prestigious playlists and airplay on stations curated by the likes of David Guetta and Tiësto. With performances on legendary stages like SF Pride and Avalon Hollywood under her belt, and with an ever-growing list of collaborations featuring industry heavyweights, Jaki is stepping into 2025 with a fresh perspective and exciting plans. We sat down with Jaki to explore her journey, her creative process, and what’s next in her musical evolution. Hi Jaki Nelson, how are you today? I’m great, just another day in paradise! Currently finishing up a track that I’m really excited about. Can you tell us about your journey into music? When did you first realize this was your path? Music is in my blood – my dad was a big rock n’ roller in the 70’s, my sister was in a country band, and my mom opened a music school when I was a pre-teen. Around that same time, I was suddenly drawn completely into the Dance music world – I even convinced my mom to let me go to a festival starring Armin Van Buuren when I was 14! Soon after, I met a boy who opened my eyes to the world of music production. I immediately fell head over heels with producing, songwriting, and recording. After a life-changing trip to Coachella that same year, I knew this was my path. Who were your early musical influences, and how would you say these have changed as you’ve evolved as an artist? How early we talking? I’m classically trained on piano so we could go back as far as Debussy, but I also loved studying Andrea Bocelli (the infamous Italian singer) as a kid. The real shift for me though was Kaskade’s “Fire and Ice” album. It wasn’t just an album to me, it was a revelation. The way he blended sound design with simple, compelling lyrics…I had always loved listening to music, but that was the first time I had ever heard music that made me deeply want to make music. How would you describe your sound to someone who hasn’t heard your music before? My music spans every corner of the Dance music spectrum – from Hypertechno to Dance Pop to Bass House to Trance. At its core, my sound combines emotionally charged melodies with high-energy beats. Recently, I feel like my mental health has been a large focus of my music making efforts, so a lot of what I’ve been releasing and the songs that are going to be coming out soon talk about personal growth, perseverance, and celebration. One track I’m proud of, Just Be You, details my experience of feeling like an alien in my own life and pays homage to the people that bring me back to earth. I’m in a place now though where I feel like I can do anything, and I want my fans to feel the same. Can you walk us through your songwriting and production process? My career has led me towards a LOT of collaborations, so most of the time, I’m not in the producer chair, but when I am, it’s my favorite part. After all, production is my first love. I have to be careful because my ADHD brain will get so hyperfocused on it that if I’m not careful, I won’t get up for 14 hours at a time for days on end. Not a great idea! But either way, I always start with the hook of a track. Once I’ve got that, I move outward, either forward towards the second half, or backwards. It gives me a roadmap of where I’m going. Once the track is reasonably sorted, I’ll start writing – same concept. I like to start with the title, and then work around that. One of my favorite things to do is to find titles that can have a double meaning – it’s a fun game that helps me keep my creative mind sharp. Though sometimes it’s better to just plainly say what you mean. Depends on the vibe. Growing up in Los Angeles, how would you say the city’s music scene influenced your artistry? I mentioned a boy earlier – we dated for a few years. Anyway, his best friend’s dad was a producer at Interscope Records and taught him a lot that ended up getting passed down through my ex and on to me. Those are the kinds of people that are hanging around big music cities like LA, and I can’t begin to imagine how different my life would be had I never had that. I’m so grateful. What’s been one of your most memorable performances so far, and why? There’s a wonderful lesson I learned a few years ago: The more honest we are about who we are and what we want, the more the world seems to open doors to where we want to go. I had just come out publicly and immediately got invited to play San Francisco Pride. Quite honestly, I couldn’t sleep for weeks, I was so excited. The timing worked out that I got to stay with my gay uncles for that trip – they had a place nearby. We spent the morning all getting to know each other on a much deeper level than ever before. That afternoon, there were over half a million people in the audience! But knowing that my uncles were there just really made me feel at home in a performance setting that I had never previously done anything close to. It was one of the most exhilarating and rewarding moments of my life. What inspires you to keep evolving as an artist when trends in Electronic Music are constantly shifting? The trends are exciting! I love new music. I listen to hundreds of songs every month trying to find the absolute best new music, both because I want to spin it in my sets, and also because I want to know exactly why it’s the best. I want to pick it apart and understand every single choice that the producer made. Your music has been supported by industry giants like R3HAB, Martin Garrix, and Jonas Blue. How does it feel to have such VIP names backing your tracks, and how has this recognition impacted your career trajectory and creative approach? It’s such an honor! I’ve looked up to those artists for most of my life, and to be included amongst those names and their music choices is beyond wild. Their recognition has driven me to keep pushing my creative boundaries and it’s opened doors to working with a lot of other amazing producers. It’s allowed me to focus on what I love – making music all day every day, and that’s something I’ve wanted since the day I discovered Fruity Loops! How do you keep your confidence strong while navigating the ups and downs of the music industry? It helps to be a Certified Platinum artist with hundreds of millions of streams! But honestly for me, it’s less about confidence as much as the ceaseless pursuit of perfection paired with curiosity. And that’s been there since long before any of the accolades started coming in. Finally, what are you hoping to achieve next in your creative journey? I mentioned earlier that I’ve been putting some sets together – I’m really excited to be revisiting my roots and getting back to the original version of the dreams I set out to accomplish when I was just starting. Long before any of this success, I was not only singing, songwriting, and producing, but I was DJing live shows – while also singing and playing synth leads all simultaneously. Eventually the demands of the studio became too much to juggle and I had to put something down. Starting in 2025, I’m gonna be DJing a new live show and I’m really looking forward to being able to connect more with my fans by incorporating not just great music, but also live singing some of my songs. I’m stoked to be bringing more of the human touch into the Dance music live performance space. As our conversation with Jaki Nelson comes to a close, one thing is clear: her passion for music and relentless curiosity drive her to constantly evolve as an artist. From crafting hits with a global reach to standing before massive audiences at important events, Jaki’s journey so far showcases the power of authenticity and perseverance. With her upcoming live DJ shows that will blend her dynamic performances with live vocals, 2025 looks set to be a year of reinvention and deeper connections with her fans, and as she continues to bridge the gap between human emotion and electronic soundscapes, there’s no doubt that Jaki Nelson is just getting started.
