Martin Garrix Releases ID-Filled Tomorrowland NYE Mix on Apple Music
Although most of us weren’t able to check out a concert or drunkenly stumble around the city spend quality time with our friends for New Year’s Eve, plenty of artists and organizers hosted virtual events to provide a safe way to celebrate. One notable event came from the festival giant Tomorrowland. Those who might have missed the broadcast are in luck after Dutch superstar Martin Garrix‘s entire set was uploaded to Apple Music. Running just over an hour, the mix is made up entirely of Garrix’s originals, remixes, collaborations, and tracks from his STMPD RCRDS label. Some may remember that earlier in the month, it was revealed that the mix included 10 IDs. Fortunately, seven of those tracks are included in the Apple Music recording and can be l...
Lane 8 Releases Winter Mixtape Opening ID, “Oh, Miles” With Julia Church
If there’s one electronic music artist known to keep busy, it’s melodic house producer Lane 8. In 2020 alone he released over 16 hours of music even without counting livestreams, stemming from his album and its corresponding remix pack, Brightest Lights and Brightest Lights Remixed, an additional EP, and four new editions of his seasonal mixtape series. Not to mention, the This Never Happened label head has been navigating life in lockdown with two young kids under his roof. Now, with the January 14th release of “Oh, Miles” with Julia Church, Lane 8 shows no signs of slowing down. Notably, the track first appeared on his Winter 2020 Mixtape back in December. Clocking in at five-and-a-half minutes, “Oh, Miles” is a prime exa...
Ali Love, Nicky Night Time, and Breakbot Join Forces for “Ubiquity”
A true cosmopolitan tune, “Ubiquity” is the joint effort of three budding artists at opposite ends of the globe. Australian producer Nicky Night Time, English singer and musician Ali Love, and LA-based beatsmith Breakbot have combined musical forces for a hypnotizing single that transports listeners straight to a dreamy disco dance floor. “Ubiquity” applies classic disco synths, funky bass riffs, and a groovy vocal for a euphoric result. Out via Sweat It Out and Nicky’s own Music to Dance To label, the collaboration most certainly abides as danceable. Nicky Night time made his way into dance music at the height of the electro-pop wave, touring alongside distinguished acts such as Phoenix, Daft Punk, Bloc Party, and more. His single “Everybody Together” reached the top s...
ATB Teams Up With Topic and A7S to Reimagine the Classic “9 PM (Till I Come)”
Arguably one of the most iconic dance records of all-time, ATB’s “9 PM (Till I Come)” was released over 20 years ago via Kontor Records, helping to propel the German DJ and producer into international stardom. Fast-forward to 2021, when ATB has teamed up with Topic and A7S to release “Your Love (9PM),” a reimagined version of the platinum-selling trance classic. German/Croatian producer Topic and Swedish singer-songwriter A7S burst onto the crossover scene last year with their chart-topping dance track “Breaking Me,” teaming up once again in the summer of 2020 to deliver “Why Do You Lie To Me” with Lil Baby. The duo’s chemistry is undisputed, and their work on “Your Love (9PM)” is truly stellar. The original’s signature lead melody dominates the tune, supported by To...

Au5 Guides Listeners Through Sincere Journey on Soaring Single “The Way To Infinity”
Late last year, SLANDER further solidified their legacy with the announcement of their Heaven Sent imprint. To accompany the launch, the duo premiered their hotly anticipated song “Hurts Sometimes” with Fairlane and Jonathan Mendelsohn. Today, bass music prodigy Au5 makes his debut on Heaven Sent with “The Way To Infinity.” “The Way To Infinity” conjures feelings of nostalgia while simultaneously infusing the New Jersey producer’s signature sound. A slow-burning, dreamy intro paves the way for punchy kicks and soaring, reverberating synths. Au5’s ballad strays from the traditional future bass love song, as the masterfully programmed vocals add an effortlessly catchy layer atop a thrilling blend of heavy and melodic moments. A...
