The melodic anthem shocked EDM lovers from across the globe, and was followed up by the hits of “Fly Away” and “Breakdown“.

This track absolutely blew up on TikTok and the rest of social media, furthering Breakbomb‘s influence in the music industry.

Felix Jaehn

Global dance music sensation Felix Jaehn taps Klingande for the first remix offering of his recent Summer collaboration with Ray Dalton, “Call It Love.”

The French melodic house visionary injects an energy-fueled twist on the pop-led original for a pulsating club-primed rework. The remix arrives on the tail of the success of Jaehn and Dalton’s powerful original, which has amassed a string of radio plays, accolades, and coveted playlist placements since its mid-September release.

Call It Love (Klingande Remix)” is the first of two remixes planned for the single, the second, a tech house spin from the Berlin-based LOVRA, will arrive later this year. “Call It Love (Klingande Remix)” is out now via Universal Music.

Felix Jaehn and Ray Dalton crafted the sound of the summer with their collaboration, “Call It Love,” a catchy, high-octane treat that oozes with uncontrollable grooves.

Since its release, the track has maintained a steady position in the German and Polish Airplay Top 50 Charts, and placed in a string of tastemaker Spotify playlists, including mint, Motivation Mix, Dance Party, Daily Lift, Dance Rising, Main Stage, and many more. To celebrate its success, Jaehn and Dalton tapped venerated DJ and producer Klingande and fast-rising electronic star LOVRA for a set of fresh reworks of the hit.

Over the years, Klingande’s inimitable sound has been enlisted by the likes of musical luminaries such as Avicii, Charlotte Lawrence, Robin Schulz, Parov Stelar, and now, Felix Jaehn and Ray Dalton. The remix follows his summer single, “By Law (ft. Loud Tiger),” which has garnered over 1.3 million plays on Spotify alone.

Klingande’s spin on “Call It Love,” ups the ante and lays Dalton’s vocals over a gargantuan slice of future rave.

Chris Avantgarde & Kevin De Vries join forces for ‘Mind Control’ on Drumcode

Two rising stars in pin-sharp form, Chris Avantgarde and Kevin De Vries have linked for the first time to deliver the masterful ‘Mind Control’. The release marks Avantgarde’s maiden appearance on Drumcode, while this is De Vries’ second following up the excellent ‘Eternity’ on A-Sides Vol.5 way back in 2016.

Since then, Kevin De Vries has gone on to become a mainstay with Afterlife, playing their shows all over the world and releasing a string of quality weapons on the label, highlighted by his recent single, ‘Dance With Me‘. Meanwhile, Avantgarde is a classically trained musician, who’s in hot demand for his skills composing music for films and video games, while also being drafted for an official remix of Billie Eilish, no less.

More recently stepping into the techno space, he co-produced one of the year’s biggest melodic techno anthems ‘Consciousness‘ with Anyma, one half of Tale of Us. The track was supported by Adam Beyer, leading to Avantgarde being square on the radar of the Drumcode boss.

Mind Control‘ is a captivating synthesis of both artists’ musical identities; a stadium-sized slice of cinematic techno imbued with a dramatic sonic arc that makes it genuinely goose-bump inducing.

“We wanted to create a song that combined both worlds, something both melodic that still felt club-centric and majestic with a storytelling quality throughout, but without being too high-brow,” Avantgarde shares. ‘Condition‘ is the perfect accompaniment, a deft tool for DJs to play at any tempo.

Both tracks have been rinsed throughout the summer, with highlights including Amnesia, Loveland Festival and Awakenings.
