Codeko and Sarah de Warren are putting their chemistry on display once again with the collaborative effort “Violet Sky” arriving by way of Lost In Dreams Records.

London-based artists Codeko and Sarah de Warren first connected alongside Adventure Club for their 2021 breakout “Never Surrender,” a fan favorite that has amassed over 1.3 million streams. “Violet Sky” marks Codeko’s second appearance on Lost In Dreams and serves as a follow-up to his cathartic creation “Remedy” with lauded songstress Nevve.

Codeko and Sarah de Warren once again prove to be a perfect pairing with “Violet Sky.” The melodic masterpiece is a moving and evocative electropop ballad. Codeko crafts a beautiful canvas with cinematic keys and ethereal pads. Sarah de Warren drifts over the backing with her silky falsetto, which is riddled with uncertainty and desire. Pulse-raising synth progressions color the heavens above with twinkling piano flourishes, dazzling electric guitar licks, and a cloud cover of thunderous drum hits. The myriad of sounds blends together for a sense of majestic euphoria.

Speaking on his reunion with de Warren, Codeko shares: “Sarah and I had worked together on other music in the past—”Never Surrender” with Adventure Club—and thought it was time to link up again. After hearing what she had written, I wrote out a chord progression that fitted. And after a few iterations, the basis for the track came together!”

British producer Codeko is a classically trained pianist with a master’s degree in physics. The genius mind has been focusing his energy on carving out a space of his own in the electronic music sphere. His work has been supported on Illenium’s ‘Phoenix Radio’ and ARMNHMR’s ‘Infinite Skies.’ The upcoming festival season will include an appearance at Lost Lands, and he will be providing direct support for NURKO at Exchange LA.

Fellow UK artist Sarah de Warren has rapidly become one of the most sought-after voices in electronic music with releases alongside Kaskade, Excision, Tritonal, Gareth Emery, Mike Perry, and more. Her music has been championed by BBC Radio 1 and has landed several tracks on UK iTunes Dance Chart and Viral Charts.

“Violet Sky” depicts the peaks and valleys of a star-crossed love story with a strong emotional pull and a powerful presence.

Following up the success of single With You last month, which landed straight into the iTunes Dance Chart, Ros T drops another euphoric banger Heartbeats Follow via Perfect Havoc.

Born in Glasgow and raised in the Scottish Western Isle of Skye, Ros T‘s crisp and emotive production style draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences from Sam Cooke, George Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin to Groove Armada, Super Flu, and Folamour. From juggling an opportunistic acting career with music to landing support from some of the biggest names in the industry for his eclectic blend of house, disco, and soul, Ros T is a powerhouse creative steadily on the rise.

The producer and DJ’s releases on labels like Nervous Records, Altra Moda Music, Eton Messy and more have seen widespread support from Danny Howard, Annie Mac, Pete Tong, and Sarah Story on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing Scotland, and backing from heavyweights like Fatboy Slim, Purple Disco Machine, Camelphat, The Martinez Brothers, Mark Knight and Joris Voorn.

He boasts collaborations with names like Reflekt, Elephant Sessions, Niteworks, DLù and more and has performed across Ibiza, London, Edinburgh, Wales and more, making appearances at festivals like Ketflix & Pills, Skye Live, Millkit, The HighDive, Westival, where he played with Dan Shake and Peach, and Groove Loch Ness, where he performed on the same lineup as MK and Idris Elba.

He continues to demonstrate his versatile production capabilities on most recent collaboration with Franky Rizardo and T-Connection Do What You Wanna Do (Live It Cool) which has amassed over 8M Spotify streams and support across BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM. It follows his debut 2021 collab with Franky Rizardo, Out The Fire (At The Hotel), which amassed over 10M Spotify streams, saw support from Pete Tong and Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, KISS FM, and DJ love from Fatboy Slim, Claptone, Low Steppa, Oliver Heldens and more.

Ros T now returns with an imaginative and soulful single with a steady edge that teases towards a bigger project later this year as Ros stands firmly in his own lane as a solo artist. A cascading waterfall of euphoric synthesisers, soaring vocals, and murmuring swells that make for an ethereal, indie electronica cut, Heartbeats Follow demonstrates Ros T’s skill as a formidable producer who is only just getting started.

Set in a Blade Runner-esque futuristic cityscape, the video features live footage of David Guetta and Hypaton screened on the sides of high-rise CGI buildings. Soaked in purple and pink neon lights, the visual is a perfect representation of the Future Rave aesthetic.

On ‘Be My Lover (2023 Mix)’, which has already surpassed 25 million Spotify streams, the French mastermind shares remix duties with young viral sensation Hypaton, revamping La Bouche’s 1995 original with the dark yet electrifying blend of techno and progressive house that is David Guetta’s own Future Rave sound.

Since being coined by Guetta and his partner-in-crime Morten Breum, Future Rave’s futuristic mix of underground sounds with festival-sized energy has become a genre unto itself, as proved by the pair’s huge 2022 ‘Future Rave’ tour, which included a Hï Ibiza residency and an appearance at EDC, as well as November’s acclaimed Future Rave EP Episode 2.

Guetta is fresh off of a legendary run, including new smash hit ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’, featuring pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray, and streaming monster ‘I’m Good (Blue)’, which hit #1 on the UK Singles chart as well as in 15 other territories including Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.

Young production phenomenon Hypaton has picked up the Future Rave mantle, going viral with his ingenious revamps of ‘90s classics.

His music continues to go viral, amassing over 50 million views and counting and being shared over 100,000 times by accounts for the world’s biggest football teams, news agencies, celebrities and everything in between. Armed with a plethora of new, original, cutting-edge music for 2023, Hypaton’s rise to stardom looks certain to be nothing short of meteoric.
