O Cinnedi is on her second last song on her extensive year-long project based on The Seven Deadly Sins. She is getting closer to the finale and her final transformation of the character of O Cinnedi.

At age 3, O Cinnedi began in the entertainment industry under Walt Disney productions and also through winning hundreds of dance competitions while performing all over the world. At the age of 10, she began her journey into music theory and classical clarinet and percussion playing where you can see elements of this throughout her music. At the age of 16, she set off to be educated by some of the best artists in the world including Grammy Award Winning, and has helped in the production, marketing and branding for many artists big or small.

She has support from Archie Pena the producer of artists like Whitney Houston, Shakira, and Michael Jackson. She has gained so much experience through this work that she has built a world through her performances, music, story and even through her posts online that you would not want to miss anything she is doing right now.

Producer Dojo artists Spiderhound & MAD-LAB team up on experimental single ‘Mama Cosita’

Spiderhound met and mentored Parker White (MAD-LAB) in ill.Gates’ music production community Producer Dojo. After years of sharing knowledge with each other they decided to finally get together and collaborate on a banger of a tune, “Mama Cosita,” that leveraged their unique strengths.

Spiderhound fits within the realm of experimental bass, but stands out with distinctive production elements that can be easily recognized as his signature sound. He has reached the #1 one spot on various Beatport new releases charts including glitch-hop, downtempo, bass/club, and trap/wave, the vast life he’s had in music playing an innate role in his ability to lay down bars in the studio.

MAD-LAB are just a couple of scientists working in the LAB bringing you forward thinking bass Music that will bend your ears with dirty basslines and sweet melodies.

After releasing the singles, Phlame, Strangers, Forgive, and I See Red, in 2021, Spiderhound has experienced a dramatic shift in attention coming his way. Only between a handful of songs, he’s been able to achieve well over 200,000 streams, starting in July of last year. On top of this, Dancing Astronaut, YourEDM, EDMTunes, and dozens of other outlets have given him high praise for his bass sound that’s easily described as being in its own lane.

Since its 1994 inception in Germany, Time Warp has expanded globally and established itself as the world’s leading techno powerhouse event.

Fred Falke puts a bright, bass-heavy spin on Mat Zo and OLAN’s ‘Colours’

French house pioneer Fred Falke puts a bright, bass-heavy spin on Mat Zo and OLAN’s ‘Colours.’

Colours‘ was originally released in September 2020, and featured on Mat‘s third studio album ‘Illusion of Depth‘. With over 7m streams, 130k YouTube views, hundreds of national radio play-outs, and support from the likes of Jason Ross, Don Diablo, and NGHTMRE, it’s fair to say ‘Colours‘ has earned its place as a quintessential addition to the Anjunabeats catalog. The track also found a home in the soundtrack to the 2021 racing video game Forza Horizon 5.

Two years on, the first ‘Colours‘ remix to arrive on Anjunabeats is from legendary French house producer Fred Falke, as selected by Above & Beyond for their Anjunabeats Volume 16 compilation. Fred Falke is one of the forefathers of the French House movement, emerging alongside Daft Punk, Stardust, and Cassius. He’s worked alongside U2, Jamiroquai, Kesha, and Selena Gomez and remixed tracks by MSTRKRFT, Justice, Macy Gray, and many more.

“I remember when “Colours” came out, it sounded familiar and fresh at the same time,” Falke says. “I wanted to retain that freshness while adding a touch of disco euphoria, 90s nostalgia – and a powerful baseline of course.”

Mat Zo is one of Anjunabeats’ most celebrated artists, with tracks such as “Easy” (with Porter Robinson), “Rebound” (with ARTY), “The Sky” and “Superman” capturing the imagination of the masses. His GRAMMY-nominated debut album, ‘Damage Control’, released in 2013, gave Mat’s avant-garde approach to production its full expression. Featuring break-out hit ‘Easy’, the track took Mat mainstream: a Radio 1 A-List addition, Sirius XM BPM listing, a #1 Billboard Heatseeking record, an Essential Mix of the year nomination, and, ultimately, a GRAMMY nod for best dance and electronic recording.

Mat Zo is a formidable live performer, and will be playing Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender at Dockyards London this weekend, and at Group Therapy 500 in Los Angeles in October alongside Above & Beyond, Andrew Bayer, ALPHA 9, Grum and OLAN.

“Fred Falke is an absolute legend in electronic music. One of the first records I ever owned was the Running vinyl. I borrowed it from James Grant and forgot to give it back, sorry James! But if you had told me back then that he’d be remixing one of my tracks one day, I wouldn’t have believed it. What a huge honor.”Mat Zo

OLAN is a musician, singer-songwriter, producer, vocalist, and long-time friend and collaborator of Mat Zo. She released her debut album ‘Contra‘ on Anjunadeep in June 2022 and recently performed at Anjunadeep’s takeovers of Printworks London and The Brooklyn Mirage, plus Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge. She’ll also be joining us in London and LA.

Kevin de Vries finally released his long-anticipated track “Dance With Me” on Afterlife

It’s finally here! One of our favorite tracks that we’ve been hearing it the whole summer during the sets of some of the world’s leading techno DJs and producers is released today via Tale of Us‘ powerful record label Afterlife.

Afterlife family member Kevin de Vries returns to the label with his spellbinding new single ‘Dance With Me‘. Comprised undulating synth waves, punchy beats and a monotone female vocal, Kevin‘s latest track is a compelling invitation into the enchanting realm of the dance floor. Alluring, progressive and hypnotic, its power lies in its simplicity.

Kölsch handles remix duties, adding layers of funky analogue synth and ramping up the tempo for a more energized dance.
