Following smash hits ‘I’m Good’ and ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’, David Guetta is back alongside GRAMMY-winning, critically-acclaimed popstar Kim Petras with his hotly anticipated new single ‘When We Were Young’.
A futuristic banger that thematically looks to the past, ‘When We Were Young‘ is a high BPM stormer, incorporating hyperpop influences and classic 90s piano into David Guetta‘s peerless sound.
“When we were young it seemed that life was so wonderful”, goes the earworm chorus, with Kim Petras providing the nostalgic verses about the innocence of youth. Crafting the track around a pitched-up interpolation of Supertramp‘s classic ‘The Logical Song‘, the French mastermind is sure to strike gold once again with this new smash collaboration.
David Guetta & Kim Petras – When We Were Young
The hits never stop for David Guetta. Earlier this year he also conquered the global airwaves with the megahit ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me‘ featuring the two pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray.

The track earned Guetta his eleventh Grammy nomination, receiving a nod for ‘Best Dance/Electronic Recording’, has garnered 2.2 billion global streams, charted at #1 on the official charts across 11 markets, and peaked at #1 at US Top 40 & US Dance Radio charts.
Guetta hasn’t stopped there. Earlier this month he released ‘Big FU‘ with Ayra Starr and Lil Durk, following his September Zara Larsson collaboration ‘On My Love‘, already fast approaching 30 million streams, while earlier in the summer there were singles with MORTEN, Bebe Rexha, Shouse and more.
Not to mention his remix work: in 2023 alone, he’s released smash reworks of cassö, RAYE and D-Block Europe’s ‘Prada‘ with Hypaton, and Tony Touch‘s ‘Apaga La Luz‘ to name just a couple.

Today, dance music superstar-in-the-making LP Giobbi unites with rising UK producer Redfield and multi-faceted artist DJ Rae on “Waiting,” a rapturous new house single that comes via Diplo’s tastemaking imprint Higher Ground.
“Waiting” follows a sizzling past few months for LP Giobbi, as she released her debut album Light Places via Counter Records (Forbes called it “masterfully produced”), launched her own label imprint called Yes Yes Yes, embarked on an international headline tour, and most recently, released an official remix for the one and only Taylor Swift.
The track swells with the carefree, euphoric vibe she’s cultivated via her music and live performances. It also packs a bit of a punch with its surprisingly percussive groove.
Speaking about the track LP Giobbisaid: “This track came to life in London when Redfield brought an idea into the session, and we started building a track around DJ Rae’s vocals. After some back and forth, ‘Waiting’ was born. I’ve played this track all over the world for a variety of dance floors, and it has been incredible to see how universal this song is.”
LP Giobbi is a DJ, producer, pianist, and activist who has earned over 150 million streams across all platforms. Since emerging in the dance scene in 2018, she has performed her “one-woman jam band” DJ sets, blending her decks with her live piano (+sampler) at high-profile festivals like Coachella, EDC, and Creamfields.

Argentinian friends Brigado Crew and prolific duo Goom Gum have joined their talents for the new collaborative single ‘Listen’, released on Tomorrowland’s world-renowned record label Tomorrowland Music!
The two melodic house & techno duos work together for the first time on this cut and let their respective energies flow into a powerful composition. Receiving heavy support from many of the genre’s leading acts like Tale Of Us, ‘Listen‘ has been a well-kept weapon across the house and techno DJ community.
‘Listen‘ uses a rousing vocal symphony with a rolling bassline, an urgent melody, and a spine-tingling breakdown to devastating effect. ‘Listen’ is Goom Gum‘s second release on Tomorrowland‘s imprint, following ‘Music‘ in April earlier this year.
Here’s what Brigado Crew had to say about the release: “We always love Goom Gum music and we’ve been in contact with them for years.

Representing the start of a fresh era for the German producer, “Unity of Opposites” is the highly anticipated new album from Kollektiv Turmstrasse.
Out now on his own Not Sorry Music imprint, “Unity of Opposites” is a love letter to the sounds and experiences that have inspired the Kollektiv Turmstrasse project since its inception. Moving forwards now as a solo venture, the album is incredibly personal and reflects many of the influences that global club culture has had on Nico Plagemann as an artist and will be supported by an extensive live tour across Europe over the coming months.
At its very core, “Unity of Opposites” remains deeply rooted in the essence of house music – a carefully woven tapestry of warmth, groove, and soulfulness. But Turmstrasse refuses to be limited by one style, taking the listener on a genre-hopping adventure, drawing inspiration from breakbeat to hip-hop, all the way to indie-dance with a wonderful array of vocals. What you might get if a scientific lab spliced TSHA with Floating Points, Travis Scott, and DJ Boring.
Kollektiv Turmstrasse – Unity of Opposites
“Unity of Opposites” is not a club album made for the dancefloor but a gift to everybody who wants to experience Turmstrasse‘s world in a whole new light: A heartfelt personal listening journey.
As one of the most successful German live acts in electronic music, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, also known by his real name Nico Plagemann, is an influential presence on the global techno and house sound. With regular shifts in his musical direction and stylistic development, he is living proof that change means progress.
As an artist who is focused on the liberated space between breakbeat, driving house tracks and anthems for the dancefloor, he is unique and equipped with a compelling discography. “Unity of Opposites” marks his first album since the much-lauded “Rebellion Der Träumer“.
In many respects, “Unity of Opposites” is a debut album, representing Turmstrasse 13 years after the last album. Embracing his creativity as a solo artist, expressing himself in the fullness of his being and inviting the listener into his eclectic and emotionally driven audio world. The feeling across all twelve tracks on this wonderfully diverse, yet cohesive, album is soulful, nourishing, emotive and warm – music made to move the body, mind and spirit in equal measure.
Turmstrasse takes musical departures into exciting and winding avenues, leading us past breakbeat, indie dance, and techno to influences from hip hop and the catchy, but always high quality, elements of pop music. “My sound is a crossover of everything I listen to – and that ranges from soul to techno.” Something that is evident on this new album.
As Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Nico Plagemann has reached a point in his career where he can experiment freely and fearlessly. With “Unity of Opposites“, he channels his broad experience and tastes into a collection of music that stands alone as a testament to his artistry.
