Cedric D has released his up-tempo instrumental pop single, “Dream Catcher” to give audiences a place to keep their imagination running wild. The song is a complementary addition to his fast-growing collection of digital releases and will be followed up by a new album release later this year.
The San Jose, CA native crafts “Dream Catcher” to entice audiences that enjoy influences next to Coldplay or Tycho. The music is uplifting, percussive, and texturally bright to a naked ear.
There’s a swelling progression of low-passed vocal textures off the top to give it that mood of falling into a REM cycle. Where the dream goes is now the listener’s state of mind. But the track’s fast percussive beats and cheerful synths create a positive experience in the dream escape of the chord progressions and unique aural textures surrounding.

“I’m a big fan of Coldplay and I like the ethereal and dreamy sound of their music. This single was an attempt to capture that and deliver a track that lifts the soul,” said Cedric about the inspiration behind “Dream Catcher.”

Superstar DJ and producer Reinier Zonneveld has just dropped a brand new two-tracker ‘Oldskool’ which comes with original artwork by King of Kar.
Oldskool is a real monster with heavy hitting drums and massively compressed sound. Its raw, brain frying and high impact acid techno with gabber influences and caustic synths that never let up. Once the synth lines come in they spray across the face of the music to take things to another level entirely.
Daemonia is another banger, this time with more rubbery and pummelling drums and incendiary hi-hats all cut up with acid lines that will make the crowd go berserk.
Reinier Zonneveld – Old Skool
These are two high class weapons from the prolific Dutch Techno DJ and producer.
After a decade of music, dance music leader Seven Lions releases his first-ever album Beyond The Veil, a full-length project that fans have been waiting for since the inception of the project.
Here’s what Seven Lions had to say about his debut album:
“During the pandemic, I had a lot of time to myself, a lot of time to just go for walks with my dog Khaleesi. A lot of these songs are inspired by what I was listening to at that time, when I was just alone, walking through the forest.
Tonally, this album shifted my sound a bit to a more organic sound, and one that is less reliant on synths.
This album is the first and possibly last album for me. I had an amazing time writing it and I feel like I got to tell a story that I normally can’t tell in just an EP or single. Definitely one for the long time fans. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of.”
The album includes twelve original tracks that challenge and evolve the current melodic bass and dubstep sound that Seven Lions helped pioneer. Massive crossover stars Lights and Vancouver Sleep Clinic, as well as dance music singer/songwriters Mija, GG Magree, and JT Roach are featured on the record, which delves into dance-pop, downtempo, acoustic, house, ambient, and cross-genre territory.
Seven Lions has been busily teasing the album tracks at countless festival headlines this past year, his 2021 tour and standout performances at Red Rocks and his music festival Chronicles at the Gorge.

Just days after announcing the upcoming launch of their very own Future Rave label and their upcoming EP, out on November 4th, superstar DJs and producers David Guetta and MORTEN reveal the track that will christen the new imprint: ‘Element’.
A short, sharp, shock of a track, ‘Element‘ unites everything that Future Rave stands for. Rippling cascades of stabs hammer away in a brutal rapid-fire pattern before a pounding kick and throbbing bass smash into play. A subtle tribal rhythmic inflection helps the track gallop as vocal synth samples trade places with the stabs to create a tonal dialogue that propels the track. The huge breakdown teases with sonorous horn-style blasts with a stuttering snare roll leading us back to the gargantuan groove. It’s sleek, succinct, and hugely powerful in its simplicity.
The combination of techno, hardcore rave undertones and big room attitude is at the core of the fusion that makes Future Rave such an exciting sound. Launched as a collaborative project for Guetta & MORTEN in which they flex different creative muscle to their usual sounds, it spawned a fully-fledged genre in its own right with many contributors inspired to be part of it. It’s this network effect that pushed them to create a label for the sound, to unify the scene and provide a platform for the producers that will carry the baton forward and keep this fluid new genre evolving.
David Guetta & MORTEN Element
With a proven ability for releasing the hits of tomorrow, today, David Guetta and MORTEN have carried the Future Rave torch since the genre’s earliest release, “Never Be Alone” (ft. Aloe Blacc). Since then, the proven tastemakers have bore the weight of the movement releasing hit after hit, certifying Future Rave as a sound of the times with genre-bending originals like “Impossible,” “Dreams“, “Permanence,” and “Alive Again,” as well as their visionary remix of Avicii‘s posthumous single, “Heaven“.
Demo submissions will soon open for the label, allowing producers to get their tracks in front of the Future Rave team to be considered for release.
Only a few days after outlining his intentions for building a brand-new community in a surprise announcement, Armin van Buuren has dropped the second part of his ‘Feel Again’ album trilogy.
Including #1 U.S. Dance radio single ‘One More Time‘ (feat. Maia Wright) as well as various other, equally incredible singles and collaborations, the eleven-track album wastes no time in exciting fans and bolstering the hype for the third and final instalment of the album trilogy, which is due next year.
‘Feel Again, Pt. 2‘ embodies the feeling of togetherness found in reconnecting with festival crowds across the globe. Containing hit singles (‘One More Time‘ feat. Maia Wright), grand collabs (‘Forever & Always‘ with Gareth Emery and Owl City, ‘Live On Love‘ with Diane Warren) and club cuts (‘Superman‘, ‘Computers Take Over The World‘) alike, the album installment takes another step along the ‘Feel Again‘ narrative to re-establish the broken connections.
Armin van Buuren Feel Again part 2
“During the pandemic, I noticed how important it is to me to have a strong connection with family, friends and also fans”,Armin van Buuren says.
“I vowed to double down on my effort to strengthen and deepen all of these different connections, and this album, as well as my plan to launch a community, reflects that. I hope this second part of the trilogy will resonate with listeners and bring us closer than ever before.”
