It is a rare moment when two powerhouse artists unite for their first collaboration—rarer still when it marks a defining return. Some partnerships are so pivotal they demand once-in-a-lifetime lyrics—words that capture them, regardless of how difficult those lived experiences may be to transcribe. Such is the case for ‘Eclipsed By You’ — the first artistic coming-together of EDM songstress HALIENE and Anjuna mainstay Ilan Bluestone, and a striking return to trance for HALIENE

Her clubfloor-priming single ‘What U Like’ set the tone from ASOT 25 across stages throughout her debut Asia & Australia tour. Now Sarah de Warren follows it with ‘Games’ - a darker, more controlled exploration of power, tension and emotional manipulation on the dancefloor. Where the first single introduced the EP’s sonic world, ‘Games’ sharpens its edge. Built for the MainStage, de Warren’s sweet yet haunting vocal weaves through a darker, trance-leaning production, pairing

The brainchild of Arjan Rietveld, (also author of Hypnotised - A Journey Through Trance Music, the definitive written history on the subject), its focus shifts fro

Tom Wax’s Test Pressure demonstrates that intensity in techno does not require excess. Instead, it emerges through careful modulation, through the gradual accumulation of sonic elements that build tension without overwhelming the listener. The album’s strength lies in its subtlety. Rhythms are steady but never static, evolving through small variations that keep the listener engaged. Melodic elements are used sparingly, appearing as fleeting gestures that add emotional depth w

There’s a distinct sense of narrative flow across Terroir , even in the absence of conventional storytelling. Goose Down constructs each track as a sequence of unfolding environments, where sonic elements enter, interact, and dissolve with an almost cinematic pacing. Micah Smith’s production language is rooted in hybridity. House rhythms are softened and stretched, broken beat patterns introduce asymmetry, while jazz harmonics add emotional nuance. Disco, meanwhile, lingers i

The Rising Artist Announces ‘As Soon As I Get Home’ EP UK/EU Tour in April Including Headline Show At London’s Village Underground BUY/STREAM HERE UK-based multi-instrumentalist, artist, DJ and producer Rules returns with his fourth single “Nothing Left ”, a deep, reflective club cut set for release on 15th April via Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records.

Yellow Kitchen continues to explore the outer edges of club functionality with its latest release, Stand Or Fight , a collaboration between Prevision and TiM TASTE. Rather than following conventional build-and-drop structures, the track adopts a more architectural approach. Its progression is subtle, almost imperceptible, relying on micro-shifts in texture and rhythm to maintain momentum. This positions Stand Or Fight within a growing subset of electronic music that prioriti

Out now via Sony Music Latin, two of electronic music’s most sought-after artists reimagine one of the year’s defining Latin records. A global hit continues its evolution as two of electronic music’s most influential forces step in to reimagine one of the year’s standout Latin releases. Following its explosive debut in March 2026, “ALGO TÚ” — the acclaimed collaboration between GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Shakira and rising Colombian star Beéle — returns wi

Remain calm. House is on the way. “Keep The Night Alive” is LarryLuxe’s emergency response, administered vocally, hook first, anchored by the chant: “We keep the night alive!” Chunky bass and soulful Rhodes stabilize the pulse while a relentless arpeggiated lead restores forward motion. In the final stage, the kick is temporarily removed to clear the air. Delayed vocals are administered. Synth pressure increases steadily. A heavy plucked bass confirms the night is back under

Trece operates in a space between function and abstraction. Umo maintains a clear commitment to dancefloor usability, while simultaneously reducing the material to its bare minimum. The EP’s low BPM is not a stylistic deviation but a structural decision. By slowing the tempo, Umo creates room for extended perception. Listeners are given time to register subtle shifts, and movement becomes more deliberate. Repetition is central, but it is tightly controlled. Patterns loop with

Goeran Meyer’s approach to production has always favored nuance over spectacle, and Bring The Juice is no exception. The EP unfolds with a sense of restraint that feels increasingly rare in contemporary house music. The groove is the central focus, driven by a carefully constructed drum framework that prioritizes flow over impact. Rather than relying on heavy drops or dramatic transitions, Meyer allows the track to evolve organically, guided by small shifts in rhythm and tex

Orsay and Kotiēr link up on ‘1886’, a studio collaboration shaped between Paris and Ibiza, and another essential single release on BLOND:ISH’s Abracadabra. “1886 with Orsay began as a friendship. We met in Paris last May, and one afternoon I walked into his flat when he was playing with some unusual synth sounds. Something about it immediately captivated me. I sat down next to him at his laptop and we started throwing ideas around, gradually filling out the track together. We

What defines The Underdog LP most clearly is its functional awareness. DJ Dove approaches production with the mindset of someone who understands how records behave in real environments—across clubs, outdoor settings and extended DJ sets. Tracks like “Blow My Music” operate within a stripped, tool-like framework, favouring groove and percussive clarity over excess, while “Ritmo Fuerte” expands outward, leaning into polyrhythmic structures that feel tailored for open-air syste
