Austria’s Free Alpine Festival, Sound | Escape Returns With a Stellar 2026 Lineup

After last year’s fantastic Sound | Escape Festival, Kitzbühel Tourism return with Sound | Escape 2026, running from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd March 2026, bringing together some of the greatest international DJs alongside Austria’s finest electronic artists.

While most Alpine music festivals come with a hefty price tag, Sound | Escape is completely free to attend — with only the reduced cost of the mountain lift pass required. So if you’re looking to hit the slopes and experience top-tier electronic music, Kitzbühel — one of the most stylish and beautiful towns in the Alps — is the place to be this March.

And it doesn’t stop there. Whilst this boutique festival is hosted by the Kitzbühel community, the whole world is welcome, so come and see this Alpine paradise for yourself. You don’t have to have skis or a snowboard to access Sound | Escape either, as foot passengers can bag a daily gondola pass for only €20*.

Sound | Escape is inclusive, supporting access to winter sports and electronic music for everyone. This is the future. This is Sound | Escape.

Sound | Escape 2026, the third instalment of Sound | Escape, carries on a great tradition of Austrian and international artists meeting on equal ground and extreme altitude!

Jan Blomqvist headlined in 2024 and Sven Väth in 2025, making it clear that Kitzbühel Tourism know how to curate a lineup. Claptone is set to play in 2026, after being one of the standout live acts in Ibiza and across the global circuit last year, known for his high-energy performances and instantly recognizable gold Venetian mask.

Joining him are Scotland’s Kilimanjaro, Brazil’s Joyce Muniz, and Austrian artists Marvin Aloys, Steve Hope and Wolfram — an undeniably strong and diverse lineup.

After two successful editions, Sound | Escape enters its third round – with a further refined concept. Dr. Viktoria Veider-Walser, Managing Director of Kitzbühel Tourism, sees great potential in its continued growth:

“For many years, our businesses have placed a strong focus on electronic music in the mountains. With Sound | Escape, we’ve succeeded in bringing these forces together and connecting our partners on the mountain and in the valley through an innovative concept.

We’re very much looking forward to the third edition of this electronic boutique festival at the most beautiful time of the winter season.”

Most of the venues are within easy walking distance from the gondola stations. When the mountain sessions wrap up each day, you can head back down into the valley and continue your Sound | Escape journey into the evening, making the most of everything Kitzbühel has to offer.

Goldie’s Rufige Kru Project Returns with ‘Metal Giants’ EP

Goldie’s alter ego project with Submotive, Rufige Kru, has returned to unleash another fearless and peerless body of work, the ‘Metal Giants’ EP.

Out now, the EP comprises 5 brand new tracks produced by Goldie and Submotive. Both the EP’s title – Metal Giants – and the artwork were inspired by the New York subway carriages which Goldie used to graffiti.

The tracks on the EP are already quickly gaining acclaim from peers across the industry, with DJ Krust, John B, DJ Marky, Micky Finn and Doc Scott all giving their stamp of approval to the new Rufige Kru material.

The Metal Giants EP opens ‘Metal Detekt‘, with its dissonant call and response beeps which were sampled from a Stussy x Metalheadz collab advert on YouTube. ‘Backgammon Blues‘ came from a real life incident when Rufige Kru‘s James and Goldie were playing backgammon with each other in Thailand – and things became very competitive.

People & Places (Submotive VIP)‘ was produced at the same time as the original (which appears on recent album ‘Alpha Omega‘). The EP’s synonymous closer was actually written first. “I wasn’t sure what to do with it, so it sat there as a DJ weapon”, says Rufige Kru‘s Submotive.

The final track features a vocal sample from the late New York graffiti artist Dondi, describing what he calls “metal giants” – the New York City train yard – where, standing between all the trains, everything looks so big and forged in steel.

The release of ‘Metal Giants‘ EP follows a huge year for Rufige Kru, who returned last year with the highly-acclaimed album ‘Alpha Omega‘. Nominated for ‘Best Album’ at the DJ Mag Awards, the record includes tracks such as ‘Still The Same‘ featuring CASISDEAD and ‘Goldikus‘, which features guest vocals from revered UK music legend Cleveland Watkiss MBE, sampled from a recording of Goldies 1993 set at legendary London club, The Blue Note.

REZZ Enlists Limbo Slice For New Track ‘Circuit’

REZZ

REZZ unleashes her newest single ‘Circuit’ in collaboration with rising artist Limbo Slice, out now via HypnoVizion.

Driven by tightly coiled tension and precision-built sound design, ‘Circuit‘ finds REZZ leaning further into velocity while preserving the hypnotic pull that defines her work.

The collaboration balances controlled intensity with gritty detail, pairing thunderous low-end with restless synth patterns that continually shift and escalate. Limbo Slice‘s industrial edge complements REZZ’s evolving palette, resulting in a track that feels both exhilarating and unpredictable as it unfolds.

“This is the fastest REZZ track of all time”, REZZ had to say.

REZZ is showing no signs of slowing down following a massive 2025 that included the release of her fifth studio album As The Pendulum Swings, the launch of her PORTAL audio-visual live experience, and seventh annual REZZ ROCKS headliner at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

She made history once again, this time as the Tacoma Dome‘s first-ever electronic female headliner, and marked a new personal milestone with her largest show to date. After kickstarting the year with her limited run As The Pendulum Swings Tour, REZZ will bring PORTAL to The Armory in Minneapolis, MN this weekend before returning to Coachella in April.

South Korean-born, UK-based producer Limbo Slice has gained traction with an enigmatic signature and monochromatic visual aesthetic. Collaborations with the likes of Astroglitch, One True God, and Mobiius have further solidified Limbo Slice‘s presence beyond the breakout hit ‘Aphotic‘. Returning to the scene following a brief hiatus, Limbo Slice‘ made his debut on HypnoVizion last month with ‘Fragment‘.

Joris Voorn announces his new album “Melatonin”

Dutch electronic producer Joris Voorn momentarily moves away from peak-time dancefloor productions on his newly announced album “Melatonin”, a downtempo and ambient focused release shaped around immersive detail.

Melatonin arrives as the companion piece to 2025’s “Serotonin” his fifth studio album and a record rooted in the dance floor. Where Serotonin looked outward to clubs and movement, Melatonin turns inward, exploring the artists relationship with sound design and melodic clarity.

Across the new record, Voorn leans into longer form textures and expansive sonic environments, shaping a quieter more widescreen listening experience.

Joris Voorn Melatonin
Joris Voorn – Melatonin

Over the past two decades, Joris Voorn has built one of electronic music’s most respected catalogues, moving between club-focused techno precision and more expansive, melodic composition. His full-length studio albums include “Future History” (2004), “From a Deep Place” (2007), “Nobody Knows” (2014), “Four” (2019) and “Serotonin” (2025).

Alongside his own releases, he has contributed to the DJ mix canon with Balance 014 (2009), Fabric 83 (2015), and Global Underground 043: Rotterdam (2020), reinforcing his role as both a producer and curator within contemporary dance music culture.

Melatonin is set to be released on March 13, aligning with World Sleep Day the annual global moment that draws attention to the significance of sleep and the conditions that shape it, nodding to the wider themes of rest, rhythm, and the quieter hours the record is designed to inhabit.

To mark the album’s arrival, Voorn will present a special one-off performance in Amsterdam‘s ARTIS Planetarium.

The event will feature a 360-degree audio visual show, with Voorn performing the album live to an intimate seated audience of 320, surrounded by a celestial projection unfolding across the dome.

The full length performance will be broadcast live via YouTube on March 13th release day.

Claude VonStroke Announces “Wrong Number” International Tour

Claude VonStroke

Claude VonStroke is officially dialing a new number. This spring, the house music icon launches the Wrong Number International Tour, a run of intimate shows across Japan and Europe that marks the first public chapter of his forthcoming Wrong Number era.

More than 20 years into his career, Claude has made a habit of doing things slightly sideways. Instead of announcing the album with a giant festival run or headline-grabbing residency, he’s chosen the opposite approach: small rooms, tight dancefloors, and communities that still believe underground music is meant to be experienced up close.

There are no Vegas residencies. No giant main stages engineered for spectacle. Just carefully selected venues known for sound, intimacy, and late-night energy.

The Wrong Number philosophy is simple: what feels wrong for the moment is often exactly right. While much of dance music continues to scale upward, Claude is scaling down. Turning down larger offers in favor of rooms that hold 300 to 800 people – spaces where the crowd isn’t separated by velvet ropes and the DJ booth isn’t elevated like a throne.

Claude VonStroke Wrong Number Tour
Claude VonStroke Wrong Number International Tour

One can imagine him alone in the studio obsessing over drum patterns like it’s still 2004 – and now choosing venues with the same mindset. Quality over optics. Groove over fireworks. Connection over hype.

The tour begins April 3 in Tokyo before moving through Prague, Berlin, Geneva, Amsterdam, and a focused UK run, wrapping in Oslo and Cologne. Each date acts as a preview of the forthcoming Wrong Number album – a body of work rooted in minimalism, crooked grooves, and late-night tension rather than peak-time theatrics.

Claude VonStroke may be dialing the wrong number for right now. But if you pick up, you’ll hear where this next chapter is headed.

WRONG NUMBER — INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES:

Apr 3 — Tokyo, Japan — Vent
Apr 24 — Prague, Czech Republic — Part Time Locals
Apr 26 — Berlin, Germany — TBA
May 1 — Geneva, Switzerland — Audio Club
