Breaking grounds as vocalist and dance music producer, Kaleena Zanders, returns with her latest single “Stronger Than Machines,” out now via Helix Records.
The track serves as Kaleena’s third single from her forthcoming debut album, Anything Goes. “Stronger Than Machines” taps straight into Kaleena Zanders’ signature energy groovy, uplifting, and impossible to stand still to. Built around a punchy rhythm and feel-good vocals, the track carries an infectious bounce that pulls you in from the first beat and doesn’t let go.
It’s the kind of record that fills a room instantly, turning any moment into a dancefloor and leaving you riding that high long after it ends.
Here’s what Kaleena had to say about the release:
“It’s kind of funny but my friend Vanessa and I wrote the lyrics to this song 3 or 4 years ago, not knowing we were literally going to go through what feels like a battle with AI.
I had brought the topline to Daniel Allan and he came up with this incredible driving chord progression that felt euphoric and free and my long time collaborator No Bills & I finished up the production to give it a KZ twist.
We sat on it for a while but after one of my songs got scrapped from my album this song came rushing back to memory. I was like “ya know what people probably could use a little slice of musical hope even if ai seems to be taking over in every aspect of our lives.
The child-like gang vocals are all my voices and I wanted to sound like the future humans who will have to make sure the future of humanity doesn’t get completely erased.”
Kaleena Zanders – Stronger Than Machines
Kaleena Zanders is building a strong presence both musically and online, where her creativity has quickly connected with audiences. She gained viral attention with her cover of “Bazooka” and expanded on that with a remix of Miami XO’s track, sharing a studio clip captioned “RIP Granny.”
The video, blending humor and her signature harmonies, has over 1.7M views and 284K likes, while also sparking the “World War III soundtrack” trend, which has 649K views across platforms, establishing her as a rising musical and cultural force.
This single marks a pivotal moment for Kaleena Zanders as she prepares for the launch of her Anything Goes Tour on April 23rd and the release of her long-awaited debut album this spring. Since late 2025, she’s been sharing the stage with electronic luminary GRiZ and continuing to establish herself as a commanding live performer.
Kaleena is set to bring that energy to major festival stages this season, including Electric Forest and Beyond Wonderland Chicago, further cementing her rise as one of dance music’s most dynamic voices.
GRiZ is back with the release of his latest single, “BBFL” (Bass, Beats, Funk, Love) – a track that distills the core elements of his sound into one cohesive, high-impact statement.
Built around a silky, smooth, unmistakably GRiZ saxophone topline and anchored by hip-hop leaning vocals, “BBFL” bridges groove and weight with precision. It’s equal parts feel-good funk and groovy pressure, a reminder of GRiZ’s ability to move seamlessly between musicality and festival-scale energy.
The track was first introduced live during a sold-out headline performance at Minneapolis’ The Armory, where it immediately resonated as a standout moment in his set. Now officially released, “BBFL” marks a key entry point into the future of GRiZ, signaling a return to the vibrant, genre-blending sound that has defined his project while pushing it forward.
GRiZ – BBFL
“BBFL” arrives amid a sustained period of momentum for GRiZ. Following his 2025 return from hiatus, he reestablished himself not just as a performer, but as a cultural force within bass music. His inaugural Seven Stars Festival drew over 22,000 fans and positioned him as both artist and curator, creating an immersive, community-driven experience built around his musical ethos.
That momentum has continued into 2026. Alongside a steady stream of releases, including the GEMiNI EP, Sidequest Vol. 1 Mixtape, and collaborations with Wooli, Levity, Tape B, Gryffin, and more, GRiZ has expanded his live footprint with major headline plays and destination events. Fans can look forward to a co-headlining GRIZTRONICS weekend at The Gorge with Subtronics, and a return of Seven Stars Festival this October.
At its core, “BBFL” reflects what has always set GRiZ apart: a commitment to feeling. Funk isn’t just a sonic reference point, it’s the foundation of his approach. Whether through sax-driven melodies, bass-heavy drops, or the communal energy of his live shows, GRiZ continues to build music that prioritizes connection, release, and joy.
With “BBFL,” he sharpens that identity into its most distilled form yet: a track that’s as intentional as it is immediate, and as rooted in groove as it is built for impact. And as his chapter begins to take shape, it’s clear GRiZ isn’t revisiting the past, he’s expanding it.
Get ready for two unforgettable nights of cutting-edge house, tech, and melodic sounds set to blow your mind.
Mama Ibiza lands at Eden this May with two opening parties that set the tone for the 2026 Ibiza season, led by UK producer and DJ Chewna and presented by Of Us Records. Running across consecutive Tuesdays on 05 and 12 May, the new concept arrives with a clear focus on high-impact club music and a line-up built for peak-time floors.
The opening night on Tuesday 05 May brings together Low Steppa, Majestic, P.O.U, Chewna, Steve Richards and Lucia Cors. A week later, Tuesday 12 May follows with Majestic, Josh Butler, P.O.U, Sam Supplier, Chewna and Nathassia. Across both dates, the programming leans into established names alongside emerging artists, creating a balance that reflects where UK-led club music is heading right now.
MAMA Ibiza 2026 Opening Party EDEN May 06
At the center of it is Chewna, whose profile has shifted quickly over the past year. Recent appearances at Ministry of Sound and a growing run of international bookings have been matched by strong radio backing, including support from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
The Mama Ibiza concept marks a natural next step, moving from artist momentum into curation, with a clear identity built around the records he’s playing and the artists he’s bringing with him.
The wider line-ups add weight without overcomplicating the story. Low Steppa’s catalogue and long-standing presence in the scene bring authority to the opening night, while Majestic’s crossover reach and Josh Butler’s deeper, heads-down selections give the second date a different shape.
P.O.U appears across both weeks, anchoring the series, with Sam Supplier, Lucia Cors, Steve Richards and Nathassia rounding things out with distinct, club-ready approaches.
MAMA Ibiza 2026 Opening Party EDEN May 12
Positioned at Eden Ibiza, Mama Ibiza arrives at a key moment in the calendar, effectively kick-starting the island’s 2026 season. With a tight two-week opening run and a line-up that prioritizes impact over excess, it sets out its intent early.
For those on the island in early May, this is the one to lock into.
[UNVRS] has been voted the World’s No. 1 Club as DJ Mag announces the results of Top 100 Clubs 2026. The historic win is the first time in the two-decade history of DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs that a newly opened club has debuted at the No. 1 spot.
Even before the official opening on 30th May 2025, [UNVRS] — billed as ‘the world’s first hyperclub — dominated conversation in dance music circles and beyond. The noise started in the lead-up to the summer, when a viral video featuring Will Smith investigating Ibiza UFO sightings lit up the internet, and became deafening once doors opened and footage from the opening party started to leak out.
Videos showing light pouring through the windows behind the DJ booth, illuminating the huge main room, quickly became defining images of the season, and an ‘I was there’ moment for the lucky ones inside.
At its core, [UNVRS] is built around a colossal central space, brought to life through immersive visuals and a fully modular production setup which allows the venue to be reimagined night after night. This forward-thinking approach was matched by one of the strongest rosters of residencies Ibiza has ever seen.
The 2025 opening season included residencies from Jamie Jones‘ Paradise, David Guetta‘s Galactic Circus, Carl Cox‘s long-awaited Ibiza return, Eric Prydz‘s HOLOSPHERE 2.0, and the visual carnival of elrow, alongside one-off shows from Charlotte de Witte, Sara Landry and the Top 100 DJs Awards.
The recently announced residents for the 2026 summer season include John Summit (Experts Only), Anyma (ÆDEN), Jamie Jones (Paradise: Starship Eden), FISHER, David Guetta (Galactic Circus), elrow, Carl Cox, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren(A State Of Trance).
ANYMA [UNVRS]Reacting to the historic win, Yann Pissenem, owner, founder, and CEO of The Night League, the company which runs [UNVRS], said:
“To be recognised as the World’s No. 1 Club by DJ Mag readers in our first year is a truly meaningful moment, not only for [UNVRS], but for what it represents. It is something we are deeply proud of, and that we receive with deep gratitude.
It reflects the collective dedication of an exceptional team who gave their absolute best to bring this vision to life. It belongs to everyone who has been part of this journey, from the teams who built it, to my incredible team at The Night League, to my brother, Romain, and to the team at High Scream for their dedication and extraordinary work, to the artists, to our partners and collaborators, and to the global audience whose energy and trust add meaning to everything we create.
Together, we have taken an idea and transformed it into something real, shaping its identity and giving it a soul. This award might be seen as a destination, but for us, achieving this in such a short time is only the beginning.
Being here carries a great responsibility, and a strong motivation to keep evolving, to push boundaries, and to explore what music entertainment can become when creativity, culture and experience are brought together at the highest level.”
[UNVRS] elrowDiving into the wider Top 100 Clubs results, [UNVRS] is joined by three new poll entries from Spain — as Pagayo Tenerife and A Coruña‘s San Pelicano join a raft of returning names. Ushuaïa Ibiza and four-time winner Hï Ibiza hold onto spaces in the top five, Madrid’s FABRIK jumps six places, breaking into the top 10 for the first time since 2013, and various other clubs from the White Isle and Barcelona make the list again, bringing the nation’s total up to 12, the second most clubs globally.
Zooming out to Europe as a whole, the continent is up one to 39.5 clubs this year (Azerbaijan’s FOMO counts as both a European and Asian club). Eighteen clubs drop places, with only 12.5 gaining, however there are a few non-movers, one re-entry, and two additional new entries for Europe on top of the previously mentioned Spanish debuts.
Amnesia Milano makes its first appearance this year, keeping Italy’s total at seven clubs — placing the nation fourth in the country ranking. Germany supplies Europe’s final new entry in the form of Wuppertal’s Open Ground, a converted bunker with links to legendary Berlin record shop Hard Wax.
Argentina gains its first new entry to the Top 100 Clubs since Crobar debuted back in 2019. Mute is situated just down the coast from the capital city, Buenos Aires. South America’s total remains at eight overall, but of those, five move up while only one drops places. Five-time poll winner, GREENVALLEY, is a non-mover in second place, but with its Camboriú neighbour Surreal Park climbing 16 spots and breaking into the top 10 this year, the battle for Brazil looks to be heating up.
A new entry for Australia brings the country’s total — and that of Oceania at large — back up to two for the first time since 2020. The expansive ivy Sydney complex joins Top 100 Clubs veteran Chinese Laundry, another favorite of the Harbour City.
However, nowhere has international clubbing’s return to form been more obvious than in Asia. Last year the region finally boosted itself back up above pre-pandemic levels, and this year it’s up a further two clubs, slowly closing the gap on Europe with 31.5 in total.
Asia boasts 12 new entries in 2026. Three come from Thailand, which is once again the Asian country with the most ranked clubs — now eight overall — and the third-best-performing country in the world this year. Singapore, Indonesia and China all bring two new entries each, the latter of which lands both in the top 30, while Japan, South Korea, and India each add one new club.
India also nabs the Highest Climber title as Hyderabad venue Quake Arena rises 26 places, while luxury Indonesian club Savaya breaks into the top five of the poll, becoming only the fourth Asian club ever to do so. Of the remaining Asian clubs, 14.5 move up the poll to only six sliding down, and there’s one non-mover as Illuzion Phuket holds fast in ninth place.
The picture in North America is not quite so bright. Down four clubs on 2025, with 12 of its 16 dropping places, and no new entries, it’s the continent’s poorest showing since 2022. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. The USA is still the top-ranked nation, with 15 clubs making the list. Washington, DC’s Echostage — a former winner, no less — still holds a place in the top 10. And venues like Miami‘s Club Space and SILO Dallas have made serious gains.
There are several other noteworthy takeaways from the 2026 poll. Kenya’s MUZE returns for the sixth consecutive year, keeping Africa in the list. The UK ranks fifth globally, but for the first time since 2016, no British clubs have made the top 10. London’s Drumsheds does climb 24 places, however, and other clubs that have made double-digit gains this year include Zouk Singapore, São Paulo’s D-EDGE, APlus Hanoi, Hong Kong‘s Club Space, and Dublin’s Index.
Another record year in terms of votes, with ravers from 160 countries having their say, it’s no wonder that the Top 100 Clubs continues to diversify, reflecting the passion, dedication, and creativity of our international electronic music community.
Following a full-scale creative reset at the top of the year, Grabbitz returns with “Better Off Before,” a gripping new single that pushes his producer-first evolution even further, blending deep bass, experimentation, and emotionally charged songwriting into one of his most dynamic records to date.
“Better Off Before” builds on the momentum of his return to bass music, reinforcing a clear shift toward high-level production, sound design, and artistic intentionality. After years spanning vocal-forward releases and rock-leaning crossover, this phase re-centers Grabbitz as a producer, one who is not only revisiting the roots that first defined his sound, but elevating them with a more refined, forward-thinking approach.
That evolution is already translating into major cultural moments. In recent months, Grabbitz has appeared at The Sphere alongside Subtronics, contributed to T-Pain’s Bass Boot Camp, and saw his collaboration with REZZ, “Someone Else,” close out her Coachella set – marking a series of high-impact touchpoints that are rapidly compounding into renewed momentum around the project.
Grabbitz – Better Off Before
“Have you ever thought to yourself… ‘Was I better off before?’”Grabbitz shares. “Same.”
Leaning fully into this new chapter, “Better Off Before” captures the tension between chaos and control. The production is unpredictable and textural, distorted pulses collide with warped rhythms and melodic elements, while still leaving space for Grabbitz’s signature vocal delivery to cut through with clarity and intent. It’s a track that feels equally at home in a live bass set as it does in a late-night, introspective listen.
At its core, the record is deeply personal. Anchored by the repeated question, “Was I better off before?”, the song unpacks the emotional aftermath of giving too much of yourself away, exploring identity, self-worth, and the lingering weight of past relationships.
The contrast between vulnerable lyricism and aggressive, experimental production creates a push-and-pull that defines this new era of Grabbitz: emotionally exposed, but relentlessly uncompromising.
With “Better Off Before,” Grabbitz continues to define what this new chapter looks like in real time: emotionally honest, sonically adventurous, and rooted in a renewed commitment to production at the highest level.
With momentum building and a growing global presence, MANSA is quickly becoming a name to watch in electronic music. Following the viral success of “Midnight On My Mind” and the release of her latest single “Car Crash,” her sound continues to evolve—balancing emotion, intensity, and dancefloor impact.
We caught up with MANSA to talk about her breakthrough moment, her approach to music, and what lies ahead as she continues to carve out her place in the scene.
Check out the full interview below!
1. Thanks for doing this interview with us MANSA, we know you’re a busy woman with so many new projects going on! Can you share an intro for our readers on how they may know you and share some background with us?
I’m Mansa ,a DJ and producer from Singapore. Most people probably found me through my recent releases online, especially on Instagram and Spotify. My sound sits in the bass house space, but it’s very emotion-driven. I’m really focused on creating music that hits both physically and emotionally.
I started out producing and sharing ideas online, and over time it’s grown into having an audience. Now I’d love to take that energy from the internet and bring it onto stages around the world.
2. You recently burst onto the scene with your viral hit “Midnight On My Mind” – tell us about that, how did that happen?
“Midnight On My Mind” was one of those songs that just connected instantly. I was posting a lot of short-form content around it, testing different hooks and moments, and it started picking up really quickly, gathering millions of views, getting strong streaming numbers, and support from artists I grew up listening to.
It’s been a real “pinch me” type moment for my career. I think what made it work is that the song’s core idea was very simple but emotional, and it translated well online. Once people feel something within the first few seconds, they stay.
3. Your follow-up release ‘Car Crash” just launched, what type of vibe can fans expect from this one?
“Car Crash” is darker and a bit more intense. It leans into that feeling of something being addictive but destructive at the same time. Sonically it’s still in the dance space, and just feels more cinematic. It’s less about being pretty and more about impact.
4. Do you prefer live performances or being behind the scenes producing? Any favorite moments so far?
They’re completely different highs. Production is where everything starts. It’s more internal, more obsessive. Performing is where it all makes sense and comes to life.
There’s nothing like hearing a crowd react to something you made in your room. One of my favorite moments was from two weeks ago when I played “Midnight On My Mind” live. Hearing my track played out live and seeing people already know the lyrics was so surreal. That’s when it really hits you that it’s bigger than just you.
5. How is the dance music scene different in SE Asia vs. what you’ve experienced in other places you’ve performed?
SE Asia has a lot of energy, but it’s still developing in terms of infrastructure and exposure compared to places like the US or Europe.
In markets like the US, there’s a stronger touring circuit and a deeper culture around dance music. In SE Asia, it’s growing fast, and audiences are very engaged. It just needs more stages, more consistency, and more global integration. I think we’re at a point where artists from this region are starting to break through internationally, which is exciting.
6. We’ve seen a rise in female DJs on lineups around the world, from major festivals to clubs, how has that movement towards highlighting more women on line-ups changed your career?
It’s definitely opened more doors and visibility, but at the end of the day, I still want to be known for the music first. For me, the goal isn’t just to be a “female DJ” on a lineup. It’s to be one of the strongest artists on it, period. I think the shift is important, but what matters long-term is consistency and output.
7. What’s next for you, what can fans look forward to from MANSA?
A lot more music, and a lot more shows. I’m focused on building a consistent run of releases and translating the online momentum into real-world demand, touring, festivals, and bigger stages. There are also some collaborations in the works that I’m excited about.
This year is really about scaling everything up and bringing my fans along for my journey. Can’t wait to share what more we have in store!
From a viral breakthrough to a heavier follow-up, MANSA is already showing range. With more music and shows ahead, it’s clear she’s focused on building her own sound rather than following trends—and that’s exactly what makes this next run worth watching.
Solomun+1 returns to Pacha Ibiza this summer for its 12th consecutive season – in what is already the 14th year of the residency, opening on May 31 and running through October 4.
Few parties on the island have earned their place quite like this one. Solomun+1 has grown into one of Ibiza‘s most dependable Sunday night institutions – the kind of date that dedicated crowds return to summer after summer, and that first-timers plan their entire trip around.
Twelve seasons on, his approach has become a template. The quiet architect of the dancefloor didn’t declare himself one; he just kept building.
This year’s lineup covers considerable ground. Skrillex, Jamie xx and Anyma are back for another chapter in the +1 story, while a special appearance from Idris Elba adds another unexpected moment to the season. Alongside them, the lineup spans both ends of the +1 story.
For KETTAMA, DESIREE and Max Styler, this summer marks their Solomun +1 debut – new voices entering a room with its own history. Artists like Âme, Dixon, Denis Sulta, Chloé Caillet and DJ Gigola, on the other hand, are returning faces who have helped shape what these nights feel like over the years.
Solomun +1 Ibiza 2026 lineup
Solomun opens and closes the season himself, with five few all-night-long nights in between where he takes full control of the night. For many, these are the most coveted dates of the summer – the rare chance to spend hours with an artist at close range, in a room that he has spent years shaping into exactly that kind of space.
Part of what gives the residency its weight is the twelve seasons it has spent building its own identity within one of the world’s most iconic venues. Since 2013, Solomun+1 has grown into a fixture of its own at Pacha Ibiza, contributing to the institution around it while carving out a distinct character on its own terms.
Beyond Ibiza, two sold-out nights at Alexandra Palace set the tone in February – two big nights, long anticipated, and a well-earned break afterwards. Now the focus is where it belongs: the White Isle, every Sunday, for the next five months.
Elements Music & Arts Festival 2026 continues to expand its already impressive lineup with the addition of a GRiZ Chasing The Golden Hour set on Sunday, August 9.
Chasing The Golden Hour is GRiZ‘s acclaimed series of EPs and mixtapes, reimagined as a live experience that highlights a more relaxed, melodic, and downtempo side of the North Detroit-raised artist’s catalog.
Rooted in feel-good energy and a sense of connection, the set offers a sun-soaked counterpoint to his more high-energy performances. It arrives as a natural fit for a weekend built around music, art, and community at Elements Festival.
GRiZ Chasing The Golden Hour Elements Festival 2026
GRiZ joins previously announced lineup acts including Above & Beyond, Chris Lake, Cloonee, CloZee (Sunset Set), Crankdat, Daily Bread + Cloud Conductor, Excision, Ganja White Night (Sunset Set), I Hate Models, it’s murph, KETTAMA, Louis the Child (Sunset Set), LSDream+Lightcode, Of The Trees, Porter Robinson (DJ Set), Sub Focus, Subtronics, and SVDDEN DEATH – rounding out a lineup that spans melodic, house, techno, and bass.
The world-renowned DJ, Producer and label owner, DJ Snake has unveiled the lineup for his “Pardon My French” takeover at Coachella 2026, taking place at Quasar Stage on Saturday, April 18.
Following a standout run through Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, DJ Snake arrives at Coachella with strong momentum, continuing a year defined by large-scale performances, international touring, and major releases.
In Miami, “Pardon My French” returned with a genre-spanning lineup, featuring Asake, A-Trak, TroyBoi, Hamdi, and TRYM, before he closed out Ultra’s main stage with one of the weekend’s most-talked-about sets featuring unreleased music and surprise guest moments, including J Balvin and Ryan Castro.
At the center of the lineup is a first-ever back-to-back between RL Grime and Flosstradamus, two artists widely recognized for shaping the rise of trap music in the 2010s and bringing their own individuality onto global festival stages, joining DJ Snake on stage for a defining B2B2B moment at Coachella. Despite years of shared history, this marks the first time they will perform together.
The lineup also features a cross-generation moment between DJ Snake and Knock2, bringing together one of the most established acts in dance music worldwide with one of the most in-demand artists of the new generation.
Further appearances include a DJ set from French artist Madeon, as well as Devault, who continues to gain momentum with a growing catalog of charting releases.
Pardon My French Coachella 2026 lineup Quasar Stage
Spanning multiple corners of electronic music, the Coachella edition of Pardon My French brings together artists across generations, reflecting how DJ Snake moves between scenes and pushes festival culture forward.
As one of the first major festival headliners to bring trap and bass music into the mainstream, he continues to take that sound to the world’s biggest stages.
FUSE reveals the full line-ups for its Ibiza series with Brunch Electronikthis summer, returning to 528 across Sunday 2nd, 9th and 16th August 2026.
Taking place at one of the island’s most distinctive venues, the series unfolds as a continuous 12-hour day-to-night experience, moving from 528‘s open-air garden into its indoor club space. Running from 16:00 through to 04:00, the format is designed without interruption — allowing energy, sound and crowd to evolve naturally from daylight into late-night intensity.
The dates form part of Brunch Electronik‘s ongoing Ibiza programme and continued collaboration with FUSE, bringing the London-born collective’s distinct sound and community back to the island in an expanded, more immersive format .
Led by FUSE founder Enzo Siragusa, who appears across all three dates, the series brings together a cross-section of global selectors and scene-defining artists — from long-standing names to emerging talent — across a structure that prioritizes flow, depth and dancefloor continuity.
The opening date on Sunday 2nd August sets a clear tone, rooted in FUSE‘s core identity. Apollonia bring their signature back-to-back energy, while Margaret Dygas and Voigtmann anchor the lineup with precision-led, deeply considered selections. Alongside Siragusa, the focus here is on subtle progression and long-form storytelling — a heads-down approach built for the dancefloor.
On Sunday 9th August, the programme broadens in scope. Call Super and Ryan Elliott introduce a more exploratory, genre-fluid edge, while Traumer,Rossi. and Rich NxT maintain a strong connection to the label’s minimal backbone. The result is a lineup that shifts between groove-driven momentum and more expansive, leftfield moments across the day-to-night arc.
The final date on Sunday 16th August closes the series with a forward-facing lineup that crosses boundaries between the underground and the mainstream. A case in point is a peak time set from Across Boundaries, the pseudonymous duo of Chris Stussy and Locklead.
Elsewhere, Ben UFO brings his wide-ranging approach to club music, joined by Sonja Moonear and Saoirse — artists known for their versatility and deep-rooted connection to underground culture. Combined with emerging names and returning FUSE staples, the closing programme reflects a broader, more open-ended vision of the scene.
