Coming off a string of release successes in 2025, including her co-produced tech-house banger “Baseline” featuring a verse by rapper Snoop Dogg, followed by the uplifting, groove-driven “More Than A Feeling,” with vocalist Parker Matthews and Jayem, Esther Anaya has released “Triple Threat,” her first fully self-produced music of 2026.
With a vibe that embodies passion, energy, and connection to the women who do it all, “Triple Threat” is a high-energy bass house anthem highlighting Anaya‘s identity as a DJ, violinist, and producer.
Driven by punchy basslines, violin accents, and bold vocals, the track captures Esther‘s signature fusion of live instrumentation and festival-ready electronic production.
Esther Anaya – Triple Threat
Combining her multifaceted musical talents with her rich cultural heritage and stunning beauty, Esther Anaya is a Colombian DJ, singer/songwriter, music producer, and classically trained violinist whose unique sounds and imaginative performances have been captivating audiences worldwide since her emergence in the music industry.
Over the last 20 years, Anaya has created a sound that seamlessly blends her classical roots with pop, Latin, and electronic dance music, fully showcasing her dynamic fusion of electric violin with DJ sets, and live vocals that have created a fan base that spans our continents.
Anaya‘s career to date includes supporting performances with Rihanna and Kanye West, opening sets for Maluma‘s European tour, collaborations with Lil Yachty, and gracing major festival stages such as EDC Mexico, Coca-Cola Flow, and Baja BeachFest.
For the past 3 seasons, she’s been the official DJ for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers during in-season games at SoFi Stadium, leading to larger sports related DJ moments at Super Bowl 2023, Pro Bowl 2023, F1-Mexico City 2024, and the PGA’s wildly successful Waste Management Open 2025.
Her journey from a classical conservatory to the global music scene has highlighted her versatility, creativity, and dedication to her craft. Her ability to transcend music genres and diverse social scenes has led to her current Global Ambassador partnership with Cadillac, acting as a representative of the brand at events and on red carpets.
With “Triple Threat,” Esther Anaya sets the tone for what’s shaping up to be a defining year, confidently stepping further into her role as a fully realized artist. Blending technical skill with creative vision, she continues to push boundaries while staying true to her unique identity.
As 2026 unfolds, this release not only highlights her versatility but also signals that there’s much more to come from an artist who refuses to be confined to a single lane.
After more than a decade at the forefront of electronic music innovation, Virtual Riot unveils his forthcoming studio album ‘Burning Out’, arriving April 9, 2026 via Monstercat. A defining moment in his career, the project reframes burnout not as collapse, but as transformation. It’s an intentional dismantling of old creative patterns to make space for something more honest, sustainable, and evolved.
Widely regarded as one of bass music’s most influential producers and a “producer’s producer,” Virtual Riot has built his reputation on technical mastery and boundary-pushing sound design. With ‘Burning Out,’ he shifts the focus inward, pairing that precision with emotional transparency and a renewed sense of artistic intention.
The album moves deliberately between extremes: high-impact, meticulously engineered bass records and euphoric, melody-driven compositions that emphasize vulnerability and reflection. This duality mirrors the lived reality of modern touring artists, oscillating between the intensity of live performance and the quiet moments of recovery that follow.
Virtual Riot – Burning Out
“So I’ve always been a fan of Charli xcx’s album ‘how I’m feeling right now,’ not just because of the music, but because I like the idea of an album being the musical representation of how the artist is feeling when they wrote it,” says Virtual Riot.
“In this spirit, ‘Burning Out’ is representative of how I am feeling right now with constant touring, traveling, and playing shows all the time. The album title and cover also felt like the logical next step after ‘Stealing Fire,’ and the songs are either heavy bangers or emotional and euphoric melodic songs, kind of going back and forth between intense live shows and moments of introspective recovery from them.”
Throughout the rollout, Virtual Riot has revealed different facets of this creative arc. Early single “Sh*t’s On F*re” introduced the album’s raw intensity – an unfiltered expression of chaos and experimentation. “Best of Me” with Blanke and Dia Frampton marked a stark contrast, leaning into restraint and emotional songwriting, while “Paralyzed” with YDG and Luma bridged both worlds through cinematic scale and dynamic tension. Additional collaborations with Eliminate and Viperactive further reinforced the album’s foundation in creative exchange and peer-driven evolution.
That collaborative spirit sits at the core of ‘Burning Out’. Rather than operating in isolation, Virtual Riot uses collaboration as a mechanism for renewal, inviting trusted artists like Blanke, YDG, Tokyo Machine, Dodge & Fuski, and Said The Sky into the process to challenge his instincts and expand his sonic language.
A defining moment on Burning Out arrives through Virtual Riot’s collaboration with Said The Sky and HYMNALS. “Yellow Lights” marks a powerful convergence of two worlds that have long shaped modern bass music from different emotional angles. At its core, the record is driven by piano, an instrument both artists are deeply connected to, not just in the studio but in their live performances.
Built around expressive, cascading piano chords, the track feels both expansive and deeply human. Virtual Riot’s intricate bass framework weaves seamlessly with Said The Sky’s signature melodic vulnerability, creating a dynamic interplay between technical precision and emotional weight. The piano doesn’t just anchor the song, it guides it, moving between delicate introspection and soaring release.
The production unfolds with intention, shifting from emotionally charged builds into moments of powerful bass impact, capturing the push and pull at the heart of the album itself. More than a collaboration, “Yellow Lights” is a true synthesis where live musicianship meets electronic innovation, and where catharsis, control, and raw feeling exist in the same space.
Beyond the music itself, Burning Out is anchored in a broader visual and conceptual framework. The album’s cover art, captured through a real-life, professionally coordinated fire stunt, serves as a literal and symbolic representation of the project’s central theme: destruction as a prerequisite for growth. It’s not a spectacle for the sake of it, but a visual thesis, burning down the old to make way for the next era.
This release arrives at a pivotal moment in Virtual Riot’s trajectory. A GRAMMY-nominated contributor through his work with Skrillex and Justin Bieber, and a longtime educational figure within the production community, he now steps into a new phase defined not just by technical innovation, but by longevity, balance, and creative self-awareness.
In a genre often driven by excess and constant output, Burning Out offers a different perspective, one that embraces evolution over repetition and intention over expectation. It’s a body of work designed not just for the stage, but for reflection, capturing an artist in the midst of recalibrating his relationship with music, performance, and himself.
With Burning Out, Virtual Riot doesn’t just document a moment, he redefines what it means to sustain a career in bass music without losing the core of why it started.
A Shift In Perspective represents a bold evolution in REZZ’s sound, pushing her signature hypnotic world into darker, more kinetic electro landscapes. Each track is sculpted with precision, where tension and negative space drive a sense of forward momentum, and sonic textures unfold with meticulous intent.
The project carries a cinematic pulse, with compositions that move from moments of melodic clarity into off-kilter, layered rhythms that build toward climactic peaks, creating a listening experience that feels both unexpected and unmistakably hers.
Across the EP, REZZ treats each track as a reflection of where she is now, rather than where she’s been. ‘Circuit‘, created with new HypnoVizion signee Limbo Slice, introduces a sharper, more immediate shift in pace that signals a break from expectation, while ‘CAUTION‘ with Street Fever unfolds with a sense of purpose that feels newly defined.
On ‘Hysteria‘, a brief piano-led passage cuts through before dissolving into uneven, textured movement, marking a turning point that mirrors the EP’s broader sense of recalibration. Previously released single ‘SICK FUCK‘ anchors the project within this transition, reinforcing a version of REZZ that feels more distilled, self-defined, and aligned with how she wants her work to exist moving forward.
Rezz – A Shift In Perspective
Here’s what REZZ had to say:
“The title of this EP alludes to the idea that we can all shift the perspective of others based on how we dress, the art we make, the way we speak, our actions and our behaviors. We have the power to alter the way the world reflects back to us, and that’s a thought that I personally love.
It’s an inspiring thought that perspective can shift and the way you are currently viewed, have been viewed in the past, and view yourself can change. The music in this project is a clear representation of how I want to be perceived now and how I want my art to sound and feel.”

With REZZ ROCKS VIII on the horizon and grand return to Coachella approaching, A Shift In Perspective captures a moment of forward momentum, setting the tone for what continues to unfold in 2026.

Spanish house heavyweight and BotaniQ head honcho Dennis Cruz returns to the label with his first collaborative release on the imprint, joining forces with close friend and long-time studio partner Iuliano Mambo for the hypnotic and groove-driven ‘The Trip’.
Rooted in years of shared musical history, the release brings a long-standing natural chemistry to the label’s evolving catalogue, marking yet another full-circle moment in both their ongoing artistic journeys.
‘The Trip’ welcomes a production that delivers a tight, rolling groove built around crisp percussion, warm low-end pressure, and subtle rhythmic detail. Balancing energy with restraint, the track feels both focused and fluid, a refined club cut designed for extended moments on the dancefloor.
Dennis Cruz & Iuliano Mambo – The Trip
Having begun his journey in electronic music at Cristian Varela’s iconic Old School DJ academy, Iuliano Mambo first gained recognition alongside Cruz as part of the duo Mambo & Troyano back in 2012.
That creative partnership has since continued over the past decade and a half, with collaborations on Crosstown Rebels and Saved, alongside releases on Cruz’s previous labels MÜSE and Lemon-Aid Music – with the two now bringing that long-standing connection to BotaniQ for the first time and reinforcing the project’s foundation of trusted collaborators and shared musical language.
Seven Lions returns with his next single, “Free”, the second release from his forthcoming EP The Dreams Strange and Eternal, arriving May 1 on Ophelia Records. Alongside the release, fans will have the opportunity to get involved through a “Free” remix contest.
Expanding on the mythic sonic universe introduced in his 2025 album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, the new single continues the story and atmosphere that defined the LP while pushing its sound into new emotional and stylistic territory.
With “Free,” Seven Lions deepens the immersive world-building that has become central to this era of his music. Where Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars reconnected him with the inspirations that shaped his earliest productions, The Dreams Strange and Eternal acts as a companion piece – an extension of the same narrative and sonic palette.
Existing within the same universe, the EP expands on the album’s celestial aesthetic while exploring new ground.
Seven Lions – Free
True to its title, “Free” transcends traditional dance music boundaries, weaving together multiple facets of Seven Lions‘ signature sound. Classic trance melodies and euphoric vocal moments rise above shimmering builds before giving way to explosive melodic dubstep drops, while luminous piano house chords add an unexpected warmth and lift.
The result is a track that moves fluidly across genres while maintaining the sweeping, emotional intensity that has defined Seven Lions‘ music for over a decade.
As the second single from The Dreams Strange and Eternal, “Free” further reveals the scope of the project while maintaining a clear connection to the album that inspired it. Together, the EP’s tracks act as an expanded chapter of the story introduced in Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars.
The single arrives as Seven Lions prepares to bring the world of Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars to stages across North America this spring. Known for his immersive production and emotionally charged performances, the upcoming tour will see him headline some of the country’s most iconic venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Brooklyn Storehouse, and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
From his 2012 Beatport remix contest win for Above & Beyond to building Ophelia Records into one of the most influential labels in melodic bass, Seven Lions has amassed over a billion streams while cultivating one of the most dedicated fan communities in electronic music.
With Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, he honored the sound and spirit that first inspired his journey; with The Dreams Strange and Eternal and its new single “Free,” he continues to expand that universe – bridging the emotional core of trance, melodic bass, and cinematic storytelling.
