Toolroom’s founder Mark Knight lands back on his iconic imprint, updating one of House music’s most influential records ‘Let’s Get Brutal’ by Nitro Deluxe, bringing it forward to dance floors in 2023 as ‘Brutal’.

Following up his collaboration with NYC House legend Todd Terry on the label in March with ‘Make You Happy’, Mark Knight returns after digging deep into the vaults of classic House and unearthing a gem of a record.

Sat in-between Electro and House genres, Nitro Deluxe’s pivotal record ‘Let’s Get Brutal’ on legendary imprint Cutting Records helped paved the way for the early beginnings of House music as we know today.

Mark Knight – Brutal

A record that has influenced so many of House music’s iconic artists, from being sampled by Kevin Saunderson (aka Good Life) in their huge hit ‘Big Fun’ and most recently, Mark Knight.

An unmistakable record and one that struck a chord in the early career days of label boss Mark Knight, who simultaneously sought to beef up his current sets in 2023 with the magic of those early House records, when the opportunity arose to update this classic Mark Knight of course jumped straight in.

Keeping this new version sentimental to the original, with all those original synth elements included but laid over the top of an up-to-date Tech House groove with a renewed energy, so that today’s floors will appreciate that seminal riff, all over again.

British Grammy nominated producer duo Goodboys are delivering a catchy and uplifting house record ‘Surrender’, released through Tomorrowland Music!

‘Surrender‘ sticks true to the Goodboys‘ house-oriented drops, vocals, and rhythms, showcasing a variety of striking vocals and grooves that instantly get stuck in any listener’s head.

The track is the second original release on Tomorrowland‘s imprint with ‘Jack Flip‘ last summer and the latest addition to the UK duo’s stacked discography of hits, perfect for rinsing on repeat in clubs and at festival stages all around the world.

Goodboys – Surrender

Here’s what the duo had to say about Surrender:

“For us the song is about meeting someone who completely changes your life for the better, someone who makes you feel light again, or ‘alive again’. Whilst also understanding that any relationship there is a tradeoff, because to continue there is an element of surrendering to the other person. Like sacrificing time or giving something up because you care.

The track came about really quickly because the bounce from the day we made the song sounded close to finished, a few tweaks and we were pretty much ready to go!”

Haiti-born producer Francis Mercier is unveiling his brand-new captivating track ‘Egyptian Sun’, released through Tomorrowland Music. A buzzing act on everyone’s radar, Francis Mercier has teamed up with Canadian singer Kiesza, best known for her hit dance song ‘Hideaway’.

Showcasing a beautiful diversity of compelling sounds, the swiftly rising New York based DJ & producer has created a warm, easy on the ears jam with blissful vocals, drowning listeners into a journey of euphoria.

With recent high-profile releases on Diplo‘s Higher Ground (‘Kamili‘) and Insomniac Records (‘Welcome To Dinna‘) and a stunning Coachella debut, Francis Mercier is on a meteoric rise to the top.

Francis Mercier, Kiesza – Egyptian Sun

Here’s what Francis Mercier had to say about the track :

“Back in my early 20s, I used to play Kiesza’s mega hit ‘Hideaway’ on repeat and used to dream of attending Tomorrowland one day. Now, to be officially collaborating with Kiesza and Tomorrowland Music, it is a very exciting moment for me and I cannot wait for the world to hear this track. We composed it during the pandemic and I’m so happy to have it finally see the light of day.”

Kiesza added: “I’m really proud of ‘Egyptian Sun’, it’s one those songs that seemingly wrote itself. Francis and I came together to work on a different song that day, but we were so inspired in the session we wrote about three songs together and this one stood out as something really special. It also felt new to me, like I was exploring another side of myself in that moment.

I’ve also always dreamed of going to Egypt and when Francis turned on the demo track, it transported me there in my imagination, and the lyrics and melody began to roll off of my tongue. It was written quite fast, one of those songs that almost feels channeled. I’m glad it finally made its way into the world for people to find and fall in love with.”

Following the release of his album singles Amplify, Lithium, Turn The Light On, Feathers & Bones and Visions, Rodriguez Jr. completes his fourth full-length studio album – Feathers & Bones – out now on his new imprint of the same name.

The ten-track opus voyages across vast and undulating sonic pathways, encapsulating sounds and influences that have played a role in his illustrious career thus far, as well as experimenting in new directions.

His collaborative singles with Italian artist Giorgia Angiuli (Tuning The Moon), Cuban-American singer-songwriter Liset Alea (Amplify & Visions) and legendary UK production outfit Stereo MC’s (Turn The Light On) made an instant impact upon release, sending ripples across the dance music sphere with their unique flair and authenticity.

It inaugurates my own label, with which I aim to explore a wide spectrum of genres, build bridges between mainstream and niche audiences, and eventually make it available for like-minded artists seeking the same freedom to fly.”

Announcing his extensive album tour, Rodriguez Jr. invites audiences to enter the realm of Feathers & Bones with shows across the globe over the course of 2023. For the full list of tour dates, head over to BandsInTown.

ALDA and Insomniac have unveiled the first acts on the monumental line-up for the 2023 edition of AMF. Amsterdam Dance Event’s biggest event will see performances of several familiar faces, including Afrojack, Armin van Buuren and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

Interestingly though, going into its second decade of existence, the brand is diversifying their line up with the addition of James Hype, Meduza and Purple Disco Machine as well as an unannounced headliner, slated for a debut AMF performance. Rounding out the line-up are Dutch heavy hitters Headhunterz and Israeli duo Vini Vici.

Also making their AMF debuts will be British DJ James Hype and Italian hit making trio Meduza. After gaining notoriety as a viral DJ, James Hype shot to stardom with his mega hit Ferrari. Ferrari was one of the biggest songs of 2022 and took over the charts all over the globe, cementing James Hype as one of the artists to watch.

Meduza have been a mainstay in the global pop charts ever since their break-out single Piece Of Your Heart, which was followed up by the subsequently successful Lose Control and Paradise. Collectively the trio’s biggest tracks have raked in billions of streams across platforms.

Through otherworldly stage design, boundless lighting rigs and superstar line-ups, AMF has managed to position itself as the must see dance spectacle taking place during Amsterdam Dance Event. The event generally sells out months in advance and welcomes people from dozens of nationalities, transforming the iconic Johan Cruijff ArenA into a sea of flags.

Back in 2022, 40.000 people gathered in a sold out ArenA in Amsterdam to celebrate the legendary brand’s tenth anniversary. Over a ten-year span, AMF has brought together some of Amsterdam Dance Event‘s most coveted line-ups and hosted stadium shows like no other. Now at the dawn of a new decade, AMF is showing the first signs of what’s to come in the future.

By broadening the spectrum of artists on its line-up, AMF is growing with the times and taking note of the rapidly growing popularity of new sounds within the scene. AMF is ready to embrace a new era in dance music and is proud to offer a platform of this size to the next generation of artists.
