Deer Jade debuts on Cercle Records with “Coming Home”

Deer Jade

Deer Jade makes her debut on Cercle Records with “Coming Home”, a single that captures a sense of freedom: joyful and full of hope. Driven by an everlasting groove and colorful energy, this Indie Dance track offers a feeling of pure oneness where smiles ripple through the crowd. 

Coming Home” stays deeply rooted to Deer Jade’s sonic language: organic, flowing, and guided by emotion as much as by groove.

Few tracks connect so directly with our emotions and this release is one of them. “Coming Home” is more than a club track – it carries an effortless sense of happiness, and a playful, carefree freedom right from the melody unfolds.

Here’s what Deer Jade had to say:

“Coming home is a feel-good, groove-driven track bursting with colour and movement. Bouncy rhythms and bright textures give it a playful energy that feels like being a kid again; carefree, curious, and free from worries, where every moment is light, fun, and full of possibility“ 

A key figure on the international scene in recent years, Deer Jade has established herself as a DJ and producer with a distinctive uplifting sound. With this new release, she further asserts her artistic identity.

The track has earned strong support from industry heavyweights such as Adriatique and CamelPhat, with additional backing from Adam Ten, Mita Gami and Notre Dame.

GORDO and Reinier Zonneveld join forces for “Loco Loco”

Talking about the summer track of 2026 in February might sound a little “loco” – but not when a song like this drops. “Loco Loco”, the new collaboration between GORDO and Reinier Zonneveld, lands now, and it doesn’t just arrive – it erupts. A track so tight, so energetic, and irresistibly catchy that it makes you half “loco” before the first beat even hits the club floor.

Behind it are two forces that shape electronic music in very different, but equally powerful ways. GORDO – formerly Carnage, now a Tech-House heavyweight and global club influence – joins forces with Reinier Zonneveld, Dutch techno live-set legend and founder of Filth on Acid, who is no stranger to creating chart-leaning, crossover records that bridge techno’s legacy with future-facing sound design. Together, they’ve created more than just a track – it’s a global statement.

The told story behind “Loco Loco” is as wild as the track itself. GORDO found an unknown ID in his inbox, started playing it in his live sets, and immediately he saw the crowd go crazy.

The track exploded on social media, with well over ten thousand Instagram Reels, countless TikTok creations using the sound, and major DJs such as Adriatique, Mind Against, Hugel, Seth Troxler, Stephen Jolk, Vintage Culture, MEDUZA & WhoMadeWho spinning it worldwide – all before anyone knew who produced it.

It soon turned out that the mysterious banger had been sent by none other than Reinier Zonneveld himself. This accidental collaboration sparked the Loco Loco frenzy, spreading organically through dance videos and club floors alike.

GORDO and Reinier Zonneveld finally solved the mystery at the end of January, officially announcing their collab. The collaboration itself has been years in the making. “Loco Loco” originated from ideas Reinier began sketching years ago, writing and producing the lyrics before sharing them with GORDO. This early exchange evolved into a creative partnership driven by constant back-and-forth energy.

Sonically, “Loco Loco” is a high-voltage hybrid: GORDO‘s House grooves meet Zonneveld‘s relentless drive and passion for good music in every kind of genre. Sparkling synths collide with pounding drums, laced with an 80s synth-pop vibe that pushes the club energy straight to the main stage. The vocals shift between Spanish verses and an English chorus (“I want you, yea-ah.”) – simple yet highly effective. It’s mad addictive, too!

Alongside his underground dominance, Reinier has repeatedly proven his ability to craft commercially leaning, chart-topping records without compromising artistic integrity – with records such as ‘Things We Might Have Said‘ with Cari Golden, that achieved a BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune and is a long-standing favorite for Pete Tong. The single was also the most popular track on Beatport in 2016, staying over a month on the #1 spot in the Top 100.

The momentum won’t stop at the release, either. The 2026 festival season promises plenty of opportunities to catch it in action. Are you ready to get loco loco?

GORDO x Reinier Zonneveld‘s “Loco Loco” is now available everywhere via Warner Music Central Europe / Spinnin’ Records / Adore Music.

With four months to go before the festival, Primavera Sound Barcelona announces that all tickets for its next edition are sold out. This sell-out reaffirms the festival’s unmistakable artistic vision, which has been enthusiastically received by the audience since the lineup was revealed.

Both full festival tickets and day tickets for Thursday, Friday and Saturday are completely sold out for the second consecutive year, a clear sign that Primavera Sound Barcelona is firmly established as one of the most eagerly awaited musical events on the international calendar.

Once again, the festival and its community are in perfect harmony around a lineup headlined by The Cure, Doja Cat, The xx, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Addison Rae and My Bloody Valentine.

Seven names that encapsulate the ever-diverse vision of Primavera Sound Barcelona: distorted rock, pure pop, intrepid experimentation, urban languages and cutting-edge electronica will coexist at the 24th edition, which will celebrate its three main days from 4th to 6th June at the Parc del Fòrum.

The festival site will once again become an exciting and inspiring cultural meeting point, a space that, year after year, continues to strengthen its healthy community spirit, something especially valuable in an increasingly turbulent reality.

As always, Primavera Sound Barcelona will be much more than three days of concerts. The festival will once again embrace a whole week of music with its parallel programme, ranging from over sixty shows at Primavera a la Ciutat to the traditional free Opening Day on Wednesday 3rd June, featuring Wet Leg, Guitarricadelafuente, Yard Act and Ouineta.

And Carl Cox, Joseph Capriati, BLOND:ISH and Greta will provide the music for the Primavera Bits electronic music festival on Sunday 7th June at the Parc del Fòrum, which will bring the festival to a close.

Grabbitz Launches New Era With “Blood On My Hands”

After a bold artistic reset and full creative reintroduction, Grabbitz launches his next era with “Blood On My Hands,” a raw, bass-driven single out now via Breakaway Projects/Sony.

Marking his first release following a complete visual and sonic reboot, “Blood On My Hands” signals a decisive return to the sound that originally built Grabbitz’s reputation as one of bass music’s most technically gifted producers.

After several years exploring vocal-forward and rock-influenced territory (which yielded an alternative radio hit and Canadian Gold single), the new record re-centers the project around heavy low-end, intricate sound design, and emotionally charged production.

The release follows a dramatic rebrand at the top of 2026: a wiped social presence, new visual identity, and symbolic haircut representing a full-circle moment for the producer who’s historically collaborated with heavyweights like Zedd, deadmau5, and Illenium.

“A decade ago there was a moment where bass music inspired me so profoundly that I dropped everything to chase it,” Grabbitz says.

“Now, after all the places it has taken me, that moment happened again. Also, the song feels like a Jackson Pollock painting.”

Sonically, “Blood On My Hands” balances chaos and control, distorted bass textures, fractured rhythms, and cinematic tension collide in a track that feels both visceral and meticulously constructed. It’s a statement piece: not a crossover, not a feature vehicle, but a producer’s record built to announce exactly where Grabbitz is headed next.

The single arrives as Grabbitz enters a high-momentum stretch of live dates, including performances with Excision and Said The Sky, Riot Games’ Los Angeles event, and major festival appearances throughout the new year. More releases tied to the new era are expected in the coming months.

With “Blood On My Hands,” Grabbitz doesn’t just release a new song, he reclaims a legacy.

Exclusive Interview: Fenrick Talks About His Evolving Sound

Known for tearing down genre walls and rebuilding them on the dancefloor, Fenrick has quickly carved out a lane of his own — blending UK garage, 90s trance, techno, hard house, and electro into high-energy sets that feel raw, emotional, and unpredictable in the best way.

We caught up with Fenrick to talk about his evolving sound, how he balances diversity with identity behind the decks, and the mindset that drives his latest productions.

From sold-out club nights to international stages, the project continues to grow — and as he tells us, the journey is far from slowing down.

Check out the full interview below

1.⁠ ⁠Your universe blends UK garage, 90s trance, techno, hard house… How do you manage to bring all these influences together in a coherent set without losing your identity?

People who know me well know that my identity is precisely this diversity of musical genres. I don’t prepare my sets that much, but I know my tracks very well: I know which ones work together and which ones don’t. I also love finding new, unexpected combinations.

In the end, it’s mainly about feeling in the moment, during the set, and about the connection with the crowd.

2.⁠ ⁠You’ve spoken about a real musical evolution over the past year. What was the main trigger for this change, and what did you leave behind?

I think the Fenrick project is something that has always been evolving, and will always continue to evolve, both musically and aesthetically.

I’m constantly looking for change in order to push my creative limits. I also really dislike conformism or having to fit into a box and restrict myself in my creative process.

3.⁠ ⁠Concretely, what do you want the audience to feel when they leave a Fenrick set?

I really want people to dance, put their phones away, and take that moment to pause everything: sing, scream, cry if they need to… just let go and be fully connected together on the dancefloor.

I’d like them to leave the set feeling like they’ve discovered, or rediscovered, tracks and a different way of playing them.

4.⁠ ⁠Your latest tracks show an exploration of more electronic sounds. How do you approach production today compared to your beginnings?

Electro has always been a core part of my childhood and teenage years, just like UK garage or house. So it felt natural for me to explore this genre, which is so versatile and diverse, with no real limits.

I don’t think my approach to production has changed that much. What has evolved is mainly my knowledge and production skills, but my intention remains the same as in the beginning: making music that I truly enjoy first and foremost.

5.⁠ ⁠You’ve played major venues and festivals across Europe and internationally. Is there a country that particularly marked or influenced you?

I have a deep love for Belgium: the scene, the people, and the rave culture inspire me a lot. Internationally, Latin America really stood out to me because of the crowd’s energy.

More recently, Australia has also had a big musical influence on me: I met many very talented producers there. There’s a real musical vibe, and I love that.

6.⁠ ⁠In October 2025, you launched the Fenrick <3U nights with a sold-out first edition at Fuse. What’s the vision behind this project and the message you want to convey through these events?

I’m already incredibly happy to have launched this project, which was very close to my heart. The idea is to invite artists whose style I love, while also introducing new talents to the audience, in a friendly, inclusive, and respectful atmosphere.

I love my crowd, their energy and diversity, and I’m very grateful for their support, so I want to offer them a club experience that reflects who they are. More dates are coming in new cities and countries, and I’m really excited to see how these nights will be received by a wider audience.

7.⁠ ⁠Looking ahead, what can we expect from Fenrick: more collaborations, new set formats, or an entirely new sonic direction?

I really want to collaborate with singers and producers from different musical backgrounds, in order to create something even more innovative. I’ve also significantly lowered my BPM recently, and it’s a real pleasure to make people dance to stronger grooves at slower tempos, especially after a period where there was an intense race towards very high BPMs and increasingly harder music.

With a sound that refuses to sit comfortably in one box and a clear vision for how club culture should feel — inclusive, emotional, and fully lived in the moment — Fenrick is building more than just sets; he’s building experiences.

Whether it’s through his evolving productions, his genre-fluid performances, or the expanding FENRICK <3U nights, his focus remains on connection, freedom, and movement on the dancefloor.

If the past year is any indication, the next chapter of the Fenrick project is about to get even more interesting — and we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes on what comes next.

Bootshaus set to host the mesmerizing Techno Ballet Odyssey

Bootshaus Cologne

Bootshaus, Germany’s treasure club in Cologne, hosts the mesmerizing Techno Ballet Odyssey on February 27 and 28. Two unforgettable nights that blur the line between high art and club culture, bringing an immersive contemporary ballet into the heart of the dancefloor, on live techno rhythms.

For more than two decades, Bootshaus has played a defining role in shaping Germany’s electronic music landscape. Known for its uncompromising sound system, raw industrial setting and forward-thinking programming, the Cologne club now takes a bold step further by premiering a full-scale ballet performance designed specifically for a club environment.

On February 27 and 28, Bootshaus becomes the place where ballet meets live techno with style and grace.

Bootshaus A Techno Ballet Odyssey
Bootshaus A Techno Ballet Odyssey

A Berlin-born performer project, A Techno Ballet Odyssey, is a must on the list of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. It reimagines ballet outside traditional theatre walls. The club audience is taken on a unique journey – a 70-minute ballet performance by the Berlin Ballet Company.

The spectacle is choreographed for the dance floor, not the classical stage, with dancers moving across multiple platforms, surrounding the audience, and transforming the club space into an immersive, multi-level performance environment.

At the centre of the performance is a narrative of loss and rediscovery. The main character loses himself in the intensity of the night and slowly finds his way back to himself through powerful choreography, striking visuals and a unique live electronic performance by the Serbian techno artist Marko Nastić, the creator of the original music for A Techno Ballet Odyssey.

After the performance, the night transitions into a full Bootshaus club experience. The dancing goes on until morning with a techno-focused afterparty featuring Pauli Pocket (Kater Blau), SUDO (Drumcode) and Handmade (Tresor), reinforcing the venue’s reputation for high-impact, artist-driven lineups.

A Techno Ballet Odyssey is more than just a party. It represents a new way of experiencing club culture. The event reflects Bootshaus’ ambition to set cultural impulses and push creative boundaries.

With its raw atmosphere, cutting-edge technology and immersive visual production, Bootshaus remains a place where electronic music is constantly reimagined.

VIP access to the event is already sold out, with a limited regular places still available. The last tickets for A Techno Ballet Odyssey and the afterparty at Bootshaus are available here.

Bootshaus launches its own record label: BOOTSHAUS MUSIC
