The track convinces with a mixture of powerful techno elements and deep house, and it’s made just for your listening pleasure.
DJ and producer, Abyss is performing since 1991 and has shaped the electronic music scene of Germany in the 90’s and early 2000’s with his innovative ideas and new sounds.

Needing little introduction, revered Australian producer DJ and producer Hook N Sling returns and this time – drops his powerful new single ‘Cruel Summer’.
Coming hot off the back of his last release ‘Asking For A Friend‘ (with Marlhy), Hook N Sling now presents the fittingly named ‘Cruel Summer‘ – which features the vocal talent of fellow Aussie, DARCI.
With the single delivering a modern reimagining of the much-loved classic of the same name (by UK pop duo, Bananarama), Hook N Sling pays homage to the iconic 80’s influenced sound & delivers a future sure-fire player.
Hook N Sling recently commented:
“The idea for ‘Cruel Summer’ first came about when DARCI and I were talking about making a bootleg for our sets. Both being from Australia, this song reminds us of hot summers at the beach & embodies that feeling of being trapped in a sometimes cruel summer”.
Emerging in 2011, Anthony Maniscalco – who’s better known by his stage name Hook N Sling, first introduced himself onto the global stage with ‘Take You Higher‘ – which went on to become a true House music anthem. Since then, Platinum selling singles have followed & Hook N Sling has gone on to work with & remix for the biggest names in the game – incl. Calvin Harris, Halsey, Kygo, Miguel, John Legend, The Chainsmokers, Demi Lovato, Lana Del Rey, Ava Max and Bazzi.
Also collaborating with A-list artists Sia, Example, Axwell, Galantis & Jason Derulo – fast forward to the present & it’s now the turn of ‘Cruel Summer‘ ft. DARCI to take centre stage, with the single looking firmly set to light up festival stages and international airwaves.
The fairly new, but immensely popular festival adds Fatima Yamaha (LIVE), HAAi, KlangKuenstler, Marco Carola, Michael Bibi, Skream, Sven Väth and many more to its line-up.
After a monumental sold-out first edition in 2021, Secret Project Festival is set to take place during Amsterdam Dance Event again in 2022. The LA-born festival has added a stellar list of artists to the line-up, including Fatima Yamaha (LIVE), HAAi, Marco Carola, Michael Bibi, Patrick Topping, Skream and Sven Väth.
With a line-up of massive proportions, Secret Project Festival is sure to be one of the stand out events at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event. Close to 30 house, techno and tech-house heavyweights will perform across four stages throughout the day. From veterans like Marco Carola to the leaders of the new generation like Michael Bibi, Secret Project Festival has something to offer for a wide array of dance music fans.
Secret Project Amsterdam Dance Event 2022
Like the previous edition, Secret Project Festival will be held at het Hembrugterrein, an extraordinary venue across the water from Amsterdam’s harbor. Once serving as an industrial area, het Hembrugterrein was repurposed in 2003 as a creative and cultural institution while maintaining its original look, making it the perfect setting for multi-sensory events that Secret Project Festival has become so well-known for.
During Amsterdam Dance Event 2021, Insomniac brought its successful house and techno concept to European soil for the first time. Boasting a sold-out crowd, the anticipation was extremely high in the run up to the event, which took place across five different stages, each with a different visual concept and styles of music for everyone to enjoy alongside sculptures, light fixtures and much more to be entertained by.
The festivalgoers partied well into the night, from the gates opening to a rush of those eager to see what the festival had in store for them to the sounds of the underground styles of relentless techno and deep, melodic house and tech-house with artists such as CamelPhat, Ben Böhmer and Loco Dice B2B Marco Carola spearheading the lineup.
The industrial vibe of the location went hand in hand with the musical styles, creating a top notch audio visual delight for all involved. The Secret Project Festival European debut proved to be more than successful.
Born out of the bustling Los Angeles underground music scene, Secret Project Festival has been making waves in Europe with a string of widely acclaimed events. The first venture into the European market came with Secret Project Festival ADE 2021. Just mere months after, they upped the ante with the addition of Secret Project Portugal taking place in the sunny Mediterranean beach town of Portimão.
Secret Project Festival is part of the Insomniac portfolio of events, which partnered up with Amsterdam-based event organizer ALDA. Together they’ve increased their presence globally and it is with collaborations like Secret Project Festival that the two have cemented themselves as one of the key players in the global scene.
Ticket registration will open for an exclusive 48 hour period starting today at 12PM CET via amsterdam.secretproject.com.
The reach and success of Bubba Brothers shows no signs of stopping, the masterful duo comprised by Eliseu Correia and Justino Santos continues to amaze with every hard-hitting release and powerful performance, lately, their accomplishments have seen them reach bigger venues like Es Paradis in Ibiza.
Their long list of accolades adds new accomplishments constantly and consistently, putting their name high on the list of artists to follow.
While the duo manages their busy summer schedule of performances and production time in the studio, we found time to ask them a round of quickfire questions to know more about them.
Big festival or small venue?
Doesn’t really matter. If you have a great audience size is not important. Enthusiasm is!
Analog or digital?
Good question. Digital makes our life easier and you can focus more on the music than actually on the technical part…so yes, digital.
Funniest career anecdote?
I spend a gig cursing at my headphones because they were not working. I did the whole set without them, only to find out at the end, that actually I forgot to plug them in…LOL!
Biggest inspiration?
Carl Cox…by far!
Favorite release so far?
Oh God! That’s a very though one…maybe the one that’s upcoming, it’s called ‘Bass’. Stay tuned!
Latest thing you’ve learned?
I learn new things every day, so this one is not easy either… well…this weekend was the first boat party ever for the Bubba Brothers, so I learned that the sea and the waves can be a challenge. LOL
Favorite studio equipment?
Can’t really answer that because I use a lot of different equipment and brands…so, don’t want to commit to just mentioning one.
Best personal quality?
Consistency
Favorite gig you’ve played?
New Year’s Eve in Faro (Algarve), in the city center, for 20000 people. That was absolutely amazing.
If there’s a festival in the world that you could say never disappoints and every single edition of it is better than the previous one, that would definitely be the majestic UNTOLD festival in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Transylvania.
History was made over the last few days August 4-7 at the massive Cluj Arena and its surroundings. The UNTOLD festival was finally back and it was better than ever. More than 360,000 festival-goers from all over the world came to the seventh edition of the breathtaking festival, matching the numbers of the biggest electronic dance music events around the globe.
The hard-working team behind UNTOLD and one of the biggest beach festivals in Europe, Neversea as well, never fails to live up to their incredible production expectations and this year’s edition was no different. Not only they killed it with the overall appearance with this year’s theme “The Temple of Luna“, but the lineup was also stacked with superstar DJs producers, and live acts, and the massive party was spread out over 8 magical stages with a nice variety of music pumping out each day and night. That’s why it should not come as a surprise that Viberate has listed the UNTOLD festival as one of the best 6 European festivals that are quite affordable considering the number of musicians in the lineup.

Here’s what some of the artists who performed at this year’s edition had to say about the festival:
Above & Beyond: “If you too saw what we see from here on the stage, you would know that there is only one word to describe the moment: EPIC”
J Balvin: “Romania is the first country outside of the South American continent that invited me to sing. I am grateful for your support. To be an artist, it’s not a sprint; it is a marathon, and you made everything look so much easier. If you offer love, you will receive love back. UNTOLD, thank you for your invitation to be part of this journey. I love you!”
Hardwell: “My tour manager asked me about the festivals I believe in, and I want to include them in my comeback tour. I answered immediately. UNTOLD, we are together because we share the same love for electronic music. Thank you, and I love you!”
Tujamo: “UNTOLD has a special place in my heart. I know it could be interpreted as a cliché, but in 2019 I brought my mother here. It was the first time he had accompanied me on tour. It was the most emotional moment of my life. Thank you for remaining the most captivating audience in the world”
Steve Aoki: “I’m extremely attached to this festival; it helped me a lot in my career, it helped me grow as an artist, and for that, I thank you!”
Morten: “I wanted so much to be here! I saw some drone shots made by my good friend David Guetta and I was amazed. Now I am here, part of this incredible story! UNTOLD is in the 5th place in the world? Are you sure? It is in the top 3 best festivals in the world,”
UNTOLD 2022 Cluj Arena
Inside the festival there were many beautifully decorated chill zones available where you could relax and recharge for the next set, photo booths where festival-goers were able to take some interesting Luna-themed photos for their social network profiles, 2 merchandise vendors with UNTOLD festival t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, snapbacks, caps, sunglasses, jewelry and a special fashion corner called Designers’ Nest, where local designers were allowed to present and sell their very unique products.

Romania is one of those countries that offers some of the best food around the world, so it’s no wonder that there were a lot of different food zones with more than 70 vendors with food and drinks where attendees had the opportunity to find everything from meat sandwiches to vegan food. And believe it or not they even had a McDonald’s inside the festival.
The 7th edition of the festival “The Temple of Luna” charmed the lucky Romanian and international guests with 4 days and 4 nights of awe, wonder, an incredibly aesthetic atmosphere, powerful music, jaw-dropping fireworks, epic lasers, CO2 cannons, colorful confetti, acrobats, dancers, face-melting bass, and a whole lot of love.
Even the most experienced and well-versed ravers in attendance will be quick to call it one of the best festivals in the world over the last few years. Those that did not get to experience it firsthand should check out some videos and photos online and prepare for the next edition. Unfortunately, it can not give an actual feel of the experience, but, it does give viewers a slight idea of the magnitude of it.

After hearing ‘Gratitude’ on YouTube, Sébastien approached Above & Beyond’s Tony McGuinness and an official remix materialized, becoming a highlight of Tony’s deep house set at Anjunadeep Explorations in June 2022.
“‘Gratitude’ popped up on my YouTube timeline one day, when I was in the hotel waiting for a show, I listened to it and I was touched by the melody and the main story from the lyrics. I was in a mood where, despite being lonely on tour for half of my life, I felt very grateful for what I do. I immediately thought it would be amazing if I could do my own version, and try to keep the emotions I got from the original.” – Sébastien Léger
Debuted during Above & Beyond‘s sold-out London festival at The Drumsheds in 2021, ‘Gratitude‘ is both a jubilant vocal ballad and a tough, dancefloor filler.
During Above & Beyond‘s winter tour, which sold nearly 70,000 tickets across the USA, the significance of this record to the group’s dedicated fan community was immediately apparent. It has cemented itself as a future classic for Jono, Tony, and Paavo, standing alongside some of their best-loved anthems like ‘You Got To Go’ and ‘Thing Called Love’. ‘Gratitude’ marked the debut of anamē, a new alias from Swedish hitmaker Marcus Schössow and production partner Thomas Sagstad, and the return of Sunderland singer-songwriter Marty Longstaff.
Above & Beyond has announced a string of major festival events for 2022 in London and Los Angeles. anamē will join Above & Beyond at Group Therapy Weekender London this September.
