Argy Announces ‘NEWORLD II’, Featuring a Host of Special Guests

Argy returns with NEWORLD II, the next chapter in the NEWORLD movement, an evolved phase that expands the vision and draws listeners deeper into a universe that is no longer just heard, but Entered.

Where the first release opened the gate, this one assumes you already walked through it. Blurring the boundary between ancient ritual and technology, each new track functions as a signal, designed not simply to satisfy musical taste, but to activate something more profound within you.

The first ‘New World’ album laid the foundation of the project, amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide and establishing that Argy no longer fits within a single genre, but exists within his own mental World.

Across both albums, the project has delivered two Gold-certified records, Aria and Sierra, with Sierra marking a pivotal moment of this second phase. Following a landmark year in 2025, Argy enters this release at the height of his global influence.

Standout records such as Melodia with Meduza and Voices in My Head with Anyma have cemented his status as a global superstar and one of the most streamed artists in his genre.

Beyond the music, Argy’s imagery has become a point of fixation, continuously discussed and amplified across social platforms, extending his presence into fashion and culture through cover features with L’Officiel and Rolling Stone.

In an era defined by speed and saturation, Argy has developed a rare sense of iconic status, an immediately recognizable presence where sound, image, and identity function as one.

NEWORLD II unfolds beyond sound as a global album tour that has become one of the most expansive spectacles in the modern electronic music scene. Conceived as a parallel world and a shared spiritual gathering, it brings together audiences across continents through a fully realized audiovisual experience.

Each concert is meticulously composed, transforming the music into a living extension of the artist’s inner cosmos while enveloping thousands in a single, collective moment. To enter NEWORLD II is to accept a shift in perception. This is not escapism: This is initiation. The work continues.

Chris Liebing Drops The ‘Roy Batty EP’ and Announces ‘Evolver’ LP

Chris Liebing has announced the thirteen-track ‘Evolver’ LP for release on March 27th, with its first EP, the double-A ‘Roy Batty’ EP, available Jan 30th.

While the ‘Evolver LP’ features collaborations with Charlotte de Witte, Luke Slater, Speedy J, The Advent, The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble aka Daniel Miller, Terence Fixmer, and Pascal Gabriel, this is Liebing’s first solo Techno LP, having focused on long-form electronica output alongside co-writer Ralf Hildenbeutel for 2018’s ‘Burn Slow’ and 2023’s ‘Another Day’ for Mute Records, and the Andre Walter co-produced ‘Evolution’ in 2002.

Comprising ‘Roy Batty’ and ‘Brooks Ave’, the ‘Roy Batty EP sees Liebing set out the stall for the upcoming ‘EvolverLP in uncompromising style. The title cut, one of the foundations of the upcoming LP, began with Chris’ musings on how Rutger Hauer’s character in Blade Runner “becoming sentient and asking for the possibility to experience this life longer.”

Chris Liebing Evolver LP
Chris Liebing – Evolver LP

That vision seems more vital than ever in the current age, and cuts right to the core of the sci-fi understandings that have always driven techno. “These moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. ” But the energy of the track gives you the flipside of that, reminds you that these moments happened, and matter.

The super direct and linear acid of ‘Brooks Ave’ is named for the spot where Chris stays in LA – a place where the ‘Evolver’ feeling was really strong: it just emerged from trusting the process, letting the universe do its work – finished off in his own studio, but ultimately almost entirely created in, and inspired by, the Californian apartment.

The ‘Roy Batty EP’ is released on CLR on January 30th, 2026, the ‘EvolverLP on March 27th, and an interim single to be announced.

Butch drops new single “Formula E” on DJ Tennis’s Life and Death label

Butch debuts on DJ Tennis‘ Life and Death label with the release of “Formula E,” a new single from the widely respected German producer.

A slow-building but climactic club record, “Formula E” reflects Butch‘s long-standing dancefloor sensibility. A steady, percolating bassline anchors the track, gradually building tension as a swarm of pitched-up synth tones swells.

Always serving as a peak moment in Butch‘s sets since this past summer, “Formula E” has been fully road-tested to shift the energy of a room.

For over two decades, Butch has been one of underground electronic music’s most trusted figures: a DJ and a producer whose work moves effortlessly between house and techno without ever feeling stylistically fixed.

His catalog spans labels including Innervisions, Rekids, Cocoon, Defected, Diynamic, and Crosstown Rebels, and his sets (whether at Circoloco, Robert Johnson, or all-night club rooms) unfold with a careful sense of timing and instinct.

With “Formula E,” Butch reinforces that lineage, offering a record that is powerful and purpose-built for the long arc of the night.
