R3HAB drops latest single ‘Ghost town…’ in lead up to album

By
Metodi Gogovski

R3HAB returns with a new single, “Ghost town…,” offering a fresh snapshot of his ever-evolving sound and a first taste of his forthcoming album Dream inside a dream…, due July 31st. Already road-tested on some of the world’s biggest stages, R3HAB has recently played the track live at Miami Ultra and Tomorrowland Winter, where fans have shown huge excitement ahead of festival season.

“Ghost town…” is an exploration of new frontiers, opening with a melody that guides listeners through unfamiliar lands. A delicate female vocal pulls you into the scene and soon leads to a chunky, groove-led foundation and big, driving kicks, creating an irresistible sense of lift. With a subtle nostalgic edge and kinetic energy, it’s primed for open-air moments and hands-in-the-air summer crowds.

Here’s what R3HAB had to say about the single:

“‘Ghost town…’ came from a feeling of emptiness that a lot of people know, but don’t always talk about. When you keep reaching for someone, waiting for something, thinking that maybe they’ll be the thing that makes you feel okay again, but deep down, you know you have to find that peace in yourself.

That’s what this song is to me. It’s about loneliness, longing, and that moment where you realize the way out starts with being honest with yourself.” 

R3HAB Ghost town...
R3HAB – Ghost town…

Over the past decade, R3HAB has cemented himself as one of dance music’s most consistent global forces. Along with ranking in the Top 20 of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll consecutively since 2017, he has released multiple studio albums and delivered remixes for a wide spectrum of artists including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and The Chainsmokers.

In 2016, he launched his own imprint CYB3RPVNK, which has since amassed over 4 billion streams, becoming a platform for both his own releases and a new wave of international talent. Known for his genre-fluid approach, R3HAB continues to collaborate across borders, languages and styles, pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance music.

From mainstage appearances at Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and Coachella to shaping global club culture through his releases, R3HAB continues to define the global dance landscape.

AFROJACK, Sia and David Guetta reunite for their long-awaited new collaboration, ‘Awake Tonight’, set for release on April 10th via Spinnin’ Records. After AFROJACK teased the track at Ultra Music Festival last weekend, anticipation has surged worldwide. Marking their first time working together in 15 years since the era-defining hit ‘Titanium’, the new single sees the trio reconnect on a record poised to make waves across the globe.

Last year, AFROJACK, Sia, and David Guetta reunited on stage at Ultra Music Festival, reigniting the chemistry behind one of dance music’s most iconic records. Now, a year later, AFROJACK, Sia and David Guetta return with ‘Awake Tonight‘, their first collaboration since 2012.

The track follows the legacy of ‘Titanium‘ — which they created alongside Giorgio Tuinfort — but instead of looking back, it captures how far they’ve come, blending their individual evolution with the unmistakable energy that first brought them together.

Here’s what AFROJACK had to say:

“Sia, David and me always shared a connection through multiple genres of music, but taking it back to dance music for the first time since Titanium makes it feel like home”

Blending the festival-ready production of AFROJACK and David Guetta with the unmistakable voice of Sia, ‘Awake Tonight‘ delivers a powerful and emotive sound that resonates both on and off stage, while connecting with a global streaming audience. The track moves seamlessly between high-energy builds and euphoric melodies, capturing the essence of what has made each artist so influential, while confidently pushing their sound into 2026.

While ‘Titanium‘ definitely remains one of the most iconic crossover dance records of all time with over two billion streams and 5x platinum certification in the UK. ‘Awake Tonight‘ stands firmly on its own, reflecting the evolution of all three artists and the current resurgence of melodic, vocal-driven electronic music.

The collaboration highlights not only their enduring creative chemistry but also their continued relevance at the forefront of global dance culture. With anticipation already building following its Ultra debut, ‘Awake Tonight‘ is poised to become a standout release of the year, connecting longtime fans with a new wave of listeners discovering the trio’s combined impact for the first time.

Chris Stussy Unveils His Debut Album ‘Lost, Found & Forgotten…’

By
Marco Di
-

After years of shaping dancefloors worldwide and carefully curating the sonic and visual identity of Up The Stuss, Dutch favorite Chris Stussy presents his most expansive and personal statement to date with his debut album, ‘Lost, Found & Forgotten…’.

Out now, the album unfolds across three interconnected chapters – Lost, Found, and Forgotten – each revealing a different side of his creative world across 19 tracks while remaining tethered to a singular wider vision.

At its core, Lost, Found & Forgotten… is an exploration of creative freedom. Visually and conceptually guided by the image of a kite, the album reflects movement, perspective, and balance. Floating freely yet always anchored, the kite mirrors Chris‘s approach to music: unrestricted in emotion and imagination, but grounded in groove, craftsmanship, and intention. It’s a symbol that naturally extends the Up The Stuss identity; pointing skyward, embracing openness, and encouraging curiosity.

Here’s what Chris Stussy had to say about the album:

“This album has been a long time in the making, and I’m excited to finally share it with you. The process behind it – exchanging ideas with other artists and creating music outside of my comfort zone – has been an incredible experience.

It gave me a true sense of freedom, allowing me to not think about boundaries or expectations. I’ve never been more proud of a project than this one. It’s deeply personal, and it represents my sound as a whole. I hope you listen with an open mind and find something in it that resonates with you.” 

Chris Stussy album Lost, Found & Forgotten...

The Lost chapter opens the album by giving new life to music once left behind. These are tracks written across different moments in Chris’s journey, ideas that never quite found a home until now. Rather than relics of the past, they emerge re-discovered, refined, and fully realized. From the emotive pull of opener “Moonlight” featuring Elena Moroder to the driving energy of first single “Darkness“, this section carries a sense of momentum and release, honoring instinct over expectation.

Found represents inspiration in motion. Sparked by collaboration, digging, and shared creative exchange, this chapter captures the moment when ideas connect, and color floods the sky. Featuring a rich cast of collaborators, including KUČKA, Jessica Moore, Leanna Louise, Tropics, and Tom Did It, the music here feels expansive and emotionally charged.

Singles “Wide Awake” and “Believe in yourself” sit at the heart of this section – glowing, expressive tracks where melody and groove intertwine effortlessly, reflecting a period of openness and creative flow.

The album closes with Forgotten – a nod to the deeper cuts, the B-sides, and the moments that reward patience. This chapter is for the heads and diggers; tracks that may not demand immediate attention but reveal their value over time. From the hypnotic pull of “Set sail on another ship” to the understated, blissful nature of closer “It feels natural”, this section celebrates subtlety, texture, and the beauty of music that lives slightly out of focus, yet never truly disappears.

Throughout the album, the line between reality and surreality is intentionally blurred. Like the kite itself, Lost, Found & Forgotten… plays with perspective. It invites listeners to zoom in and out, to question, and to experience the music as both something tangible and something imagined.

It’s not just a debut album, it’s a reflection of Chris‘s journey so far, viewed from above and below, past and present, instinct and intention. A body of work that invites listeners to drift, discover, and ultimately land somewhere new.
