After one year of hard work, hundreds of sessions and a distinctive selection process, Julian Jordan is releasing his EP ‘HYPER HOUSE’ today. Building his signature sound over the last couple of years, this EP felt like the perfect next step in his career.
Hyper House is the collective name of the music movement that Julian Jordan has created. Developing a very distinctive and recognizable sound of his own, his fans started affectionately referring to this as Hyper House because of the high energy from Jordan and his music. In honor of his fans and to confirm his sound and status, the HYPER HOUSE Ep is entirely dedicated to the cemented sound of Julian Jordan. Looking at his #1 Beatport Electro House DJ spot, his rising position on the DJ Mag Top 100 and the many mainstages that Jordan has booked it is clear that this sound is here to stay.
The last couple of weeks fans already got a taste of the EP, with Jordan slowly building the tracklist with a continuous streak of releases. Starting with ‘Diamonds‘ with Martin Garrix and Tinie Tempah in October 2021, ‘Thunder‘, ‘Sound of The Bass‘ and ‘Out Of My Mind‘ followed after.
Julian Jordan Hyper House EP
Keeping only the tracks with the right feel out of the hundreds of sessions, he’s adding two brand new ones to complete the EP today. With ‘Rudeboy‘, Jordan created the perfect sequel to tracks such as ‘Diamonds‘ and ‘Thunder‘. Breathing that festival energy, the hard-hitting track fits right in with the rest of the EP’s tracklist. ‘Juice‘ sees him team up with Siks, who he first got in touch with three years ago. Working through different versions of the track the last couple of months, the end result speaks for itself.
The EP is filled with energy, lots of rhythms and made for clubs and festivals worldwide.
Less than a week before the launch of his ‘This Is Me – Feel Again’ shows in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, five-time #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren is announcing a brand-new, three-part album series and kicking off the upcoming Part 1 with the release of a brand-new single. In unison with the series of early-June live performances, the ‘Feel Again’ album trilogy focusses on re-stablishing the connection to and between friends, family and fans, as perfectly illustrated by title track ‘Feel Again’ (feat. Wrabel).
The theme song of Armin van Buuren‘s ‘This Is Me – Feel Again‘ shows, ‘Feel Again‘ captures the aftermath of a wasted love and the overwhelming numbness it causes. Helmed by heartfelt lyrics, Wrabel‘s soaring vocals and a strong production that fuels the desire to regain what was lost, this anthem will give listeners goosebumps all over every time it’s played.
Set for release on June 10 as the inaugural installment of the album trilogy, ‘Feel Again, Part 1’ sees Armin van Buuren move further along the road of stylistic exploration and artistic growth after previous albums ‘Embrace‘ (2015) and ‘Balance‘ (2019). Including new productions such as ‘Let You Down‘, ‘Oumuamua‘, ‘Pass de Bourre’, ‘One More Time’ and the aforementioned ‘Feel Again‘ as well as known favorites such as ‘Come Around Again’ and ‘Offshore’, the album means to reawaken the feeling of togetherness and urges listeners to live in the here and now. Part 2 and Part 3 of the series are expected to be released in, respectively, the fall of 2022 and the opening months of 2023.
With over 60.000 tickets sold between the five shows that will be held between June 2 and June 5, ‘This Is Me – Feel Again‘ in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam is among the biggest solo shows Armin van Buuren has hosted throughout his illustrious career. Initially programmed for 2019 until the global COVID pandemic thwarted the initial plans, the shows have been updated in the past two years to mirror the Dutchman’s artistic growth and give his fans even more of an expectation-shattering experience.
“I’m really excited to announce my upcoming ‘Feel Again’ album series”,Armin van Buuren says.
“The past couple of years have been particularly trying for everyone, and I feel it’s time to not only bring my fans together on dance floors again, but also to show the lessons I’ve learned throughout my career and in the past two years in particular. I hope this album trilogy will inspire listeners to come together, seize the moment and, above all else, feel again.”
Seasoned DJ/producer Gladkill has brought forth a 5-track laced Cold Comfort EP laced with wave-influences throughout. The electronic musician is well-versed in a wide pallet of genres – a claim which his thick streaming catalog easily proves – yet he’s decided to go all in with one theme for his vibe.digital release Cold Comfort EP.
Across the 5 singles, there is a dynamic blend of moods delivering a feeling where you are being taken on a journey. Yet even though each song has individualistic qualities allowing it to stand out, an undeniable arc ties the EP together.
Diving in “Words Inside,” fires of the experience with a gradual fade in. The energy level continues to pick up as the track progresses, an eased drop hitting right around the 1-minute mark. The moment sets the tone of what’s to come with this EP, groove, rhythm, and emotion being some of the forefront components making this sonic adventure shred.
Title track “Cold Comfort,” follows, showcasing a more settled disposition and slower pace. An introverted energy is inescapable here as the sprinkled hi-hats, smooth basslines, and echo-infused vocal samples all help drive a mood that’s unforgettable. Not trying to impress with antics like massive build ups or over-produced verses, “Cold Comfort,” puts it all out there in an easy-to-digest manner.
“The Way You Like,” building anticipation from the very first moments. Gladkill lets you have the meat and bones of this vibe when the moment is right. A powerful slurred synth captures the limelight while electric melodies and intricate arpeggios scoop up the imagination and take the listener to a special place. Seamlessly segueing from one measure to the next, “The Way You Like,” is a chill ride through and through.
“Waterways,” is one of the heaviest and hardest hitting singles across the EP spectrum. Slightly poppy and bringing a bit of wub action to help showcase a nice slap with this tune, a trippy mood is deeply embedded into this one. Containing festival-ready influences and a powerful attitude, “Waterways,” is an exciting corner of what Cold Comfort EP has to offer.
Closing out Gladkill’s release is “Fragile.” Pulling design elements heard from the previous 4 tracks, there’s an even-keeled sensibility to what “Fragile,” articulates. Not the darkest or the most uplifting single of the bunch, it falls into a middle ground that catches the listener off-guard with its sedating nature. Reflective and thought-provoking, it’s hard not to look back on what was just heard while this final earworm hits your consciousness.
This coming July 22nd to 24th brings the sixth edition of Germany’s largest Electronic Music Festival to Weeze Airport with an unprecedented bandwidth of global stars and musical best-kept secrets. With the two new headliners Alan Walker and W&W, the world premiere of the Back2Back performance by Yellow Claw x Brennan Heart and more than 100 additional new acts, this is the biggest PAROOKAVILLE artist announcement of the year.
PAROOKAVILLE’s itinerary has been a central key to the success of this beloved festival since it began. In the extraordinarily unique PAROOKAVILLE cityscape, the festival’s Citizens once again have the opportunity to experience over 300 different acts from every electronic music genre on more than 10 stages, each perfectly designed to accommodate the sound. In front of the gigantic Mainstage, equipped with fireworks and a laser and LED show, there’s space for up to 35,000 Citizens at once.
And it’s here that British-Norwegian DJ and producer Alan Walker will perform as the headliner on the festival Sunday. His 2015 mega-hit “Faded” catapulted Alan to the top of the charts in over 15 different countries. With a jaw-dropping 26 million monthly listeners on Spotify and more than one billion streams of the single “Faded”, Alan Walker is one of the biggest DJs in the world. In July, all of PAROOKAVILLE’s Citizens will finally have the
chance again to experience Alan Walker live in the City of Dreams.
With W&W, the Saturday sees the return of two more genuine DJ superstars to PAROOKAVILLE. The two Dutchmen Willem and Ward are known above all for using their unique sound comprised of Trance, Electro and Progressive House to create iconic live shows. Their crowd control sandstorm at PAROOKAVILLE 2018 remains unforgotten and unforgettable. This year they return on Saturday as the Mainstage headliner, while their label Rave Culture will host the Desert Valley Stage at the Pre-Party on the preceding Thursday.
Friday is also set to welcome a major world premiere on the Mainstage with the exclusive Back2Back performance of the two top electronic acts Yellow Claw x Brennan Heart! They may indeed come from different musical genres, but they’re united by their long friendship and loyal support of PAROOKAVILLE. The City of Dreams is the perfect location for Mr. I Am Hardstyle Brennan Heart and the boys from Yellow Claw, celebrated for their Trap, Hip-Hop and Electro House Beats, to perform together for the first time.
Sunday at Bill’s Factory, PAROOKAVILLE’s iconic second open-air stage, truly brings the broad musical spectrum of the festival’s programme into focus. The absolutely loony lads from Electric Callboy are set to raise the Citizens’ temperature with their eardrum-piercing Metalbeats on the festival’s third day. Their current “Hypa Hypa European Tour” is already completely sold-out. Recently their fans collected over 100,000 signatures for a petition to bring the boys to ESC in Turin. While that didn’t work out in the end, their show at PAROOKAVILLE on the festival Sunday is guaranteed.
More exciting new announcements for the Gerne Stages
Öwnboss and DJ Sevek are presently on a trajectory to have THE 2022 festival hymn with their song “Move Your Body”. Averaging 600,000 Spotify streams per day and having already garnered over 72 million streams, the current mega-hit by these two Brazilian DJs is of course perfect for a power workout, but it’s also ideal to dance-till-you-drop on the Sunday in front of the Time Lab Stage. Get hyped up with Öwnboss! Australian DJ Luude’s new reworking of the 80s classic “Down Under“ by Men At Work has already given him a top hit this year. Joining forces with guest-of-honour and the song’s original singer Colin Hay, Luude has wrapped the song in a big-phat Drum’n‘ Bass package, transforming the number into a modern summer hit with a distinct retro vibe.
The festival Sunday offers the City of Dreams’ Citizens the chance at the Time Lab to celebrate lunacy, love and pure joy to the soundtrack of his Trap and Drum’n‘Bass sounds. For Hugel, the Bacardí Stage is the place to be on Thursday! Over the last few years the French DJ and producer has racked up a variety of big hits, including “WTF” (feat. Amber Van Day) and the Platinum-winning remix of “Bella Ciao” from 2018. Among his releases this year is the dance single “Castle” in conjunction with Alle Farben and FAST BOY, yet another milestone for PAROOKAVILLE’s Citizens to celebrate in July.
The line-up of the insanely popular Brainwash-Stage and special acts for the other stages will also be announced soon! PAROOKAVILLE Visas are hot property – and there’s still the chance at the moment to get yours and be a part of the world’s craziest festival city this coming July! All available Visas at the link.
Let’s be real, over the past two years we probably haven’t attended anywhere near the number of events we wanted to. COVID cancelled half of them and postponed the rest. We had to sit inside trying to entertain ourselves by half-heartedly picking up new hobbies, baking banana bread, and drinking cans in the garden in those few days of sun. It wasn’t all bad, but we’d have much rather had been in a field, living it large with our mates with some tunes blaring.
Sadly, we can’t change the past. But we can choose what we do with our futures. Instead of sitting on the sofa next year, why don’t we get out and make up for that lost time? The UK is packed with festivals that are begging us to get over to and cut some shapes with some friendly strangers and a pint in hand. We know you want to. So here are five UK festivals you should attend in 2022 if you love dance music.
Dream Valley, Kent, England
This new dance music festival will burst on the scene in May next year with 100 dance music artists that will blow you away. The lineup already includes legendary duo Basement Jaxx, Roger Sanchez, Marco Carola, East End Dubs, George Mensah, Rossi, and many more.
But that’s not all. As well as featuring 100 unreal artists, the fest will also have an outdoor cinema, a roller disco, immersive art, wellbeing workshops and so much more. Dream Valley isn’t your typical music festival. It’s an immersive experience with tonnes of unreal artists, workshops, and fun activities to get stuck into. It’s a pity it’s only one day!
Terminal V, Edinburgh, Scotland
Another festival we wish was longer than a day is Edinburgh’s Terminal V. Oh, wait. Next year it will be! In April, 40,000 electronic music fans will find themselves in a warehouse complex grooving to the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick, Dax J, Floorplan, Amelie Lens, I Hate Models, Ben UFO and others for two whole days of straight tunes.
Starting in 2017, the festival is still quite new in comparison to others. But it’s already become Scotland’s biggest electronic music festival with some of the world’s biggest artists travelling to perform at such an explosive, rapidly-growing event. The fest is already insane, but we can’t wait to see the beast this festival will become in a few years.

Creamfields South, Chelmsford, England
If you know anything about UK festivals, especially dance festivals, Creamfields needs no introduction. It’s one of the biggest festivals in the world and to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Creamfields South will put on a two-day sister festival down in Hylands Park.
It’s early days but the fest has already announced some huge names including David Guetta, Deadmau5, Fatboy Slim, Camelphat, Becky Hill, Amelie Lens and more. With such a brilliant lineup, more artists to be announced, and the massive success of the Cheshire-based Creamfields, we know this festival will be unreal and sell out in a heartbeat.
Life Festival, Westmeath, Ireland
If you haven’t heard of Life, the simplest way to describe it would be a smaller, Irish version of Glastonbury but with a focus on electronic music. Branching out further than just music, the festival has art activities, performers such as fire breathers, magicians and jugglers, yoga workshops, reiki, and even a massage area.
And there’s a reason it bears so many similarities to Glastonbury – it originated from Glastonbury’s Glade arena. It became its own festival in 2004 and since then it’s gone on to become one of, if not the best, electronic music events in Ireland. How could you turn that down?
Field Day, London, England
In London’s Victoria Park, Field Day festival will be going off with The Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk, Cici, Daniel Avery and more. The festival is put together by clubs and promoters from around London’s music scene to gather the best up and coming acts alongside international heavyweights for an unbelievable day of banging tunes.
With both DJ sets and live performances, the festival boasts various genres including, but not limited to, techno, house, and hip hop. Every single year, starting from its inception in 2007, has seen the festival sell all its tickets. And fast. So if you’re considering this hot festival in England’s capital, get on it fast before it’s too late!
After what feels like forever in lockdown, it’s time we all got back out there properly and danced ‘til we’re drenched in sweat with legs that feel like jelly, but with that warming glow of joy and contentment after a cracking festival. 2022 has some seriously brilliant festivals lined up, but these five should definitely be on your radar.
Can’t wait for festival season? Looking for the next festival that’ll blow you away? Check out all the festivals that will be popping off in 2022.
The hard working team behind the world’s best electronic dance music festival, Tomorrowland never stops surprising the People of Tomorrow.
The Tomorrowland Academy will soon offer a home for kids, youngsters and adults who want to learn to produce music and become a DJ. The Belgian electronic dance music jewel is organizing ‘DJ Bootcamps’ this summer for adults – located only 200 meters from De Schorre, the Holy Grounds of Tomorrowland festival.
The ‘Adult Bootcamps’ offer a unique all-in package: a week full of DJ and producing workshops by professional DJs, networking, tips & tricks, as well as inspirational sessions with music industry experts and Tomorrowland artists. And for the cherry on top, participants can end their week with Full Madness Access to Tomorrowland 2022 and an exclusive Tomorrowland backstage tour, while they will also get the exceptional opportunity to perform live on one of the official Tomorrowland stages before the festival starts. The bootcamps will take place during the weeks in between the festival weekends (July 18-21 and July 25-28).
Tomorrowland Academy
In addition, there will also be ‘Kids Camps’ for 8- to 17-year-olds (July 11-14). Kids and teenagers will be mentored by professional DJs through a week of DJ and producing workshops, immersing themselves in the magical world of DJing and producing and learning all about beatmatching, phase matching, EQ’ing & filtering, Rekordbox, loops and hot cues. The unforgettable week will end with a spectacular live show in true Tomorrowland style on one of the iconic Tomorrowland stages.
This unique collaboration with the Amplify Academy (Hasselt, Belgium) will be further developed in the coming months and years with a physical high-quality DJ & producer music academy, providing access to everything needed to produce, release, create, and perform music & arts. In addition to the physical school, there will also be an online platform for children and adults from all over the world.
Dead Weight is more than just ‘another alias.’ It’s a world listeners are transported to in which the ruler of this realm – Ollie – takes charge and carries those willing to go on sensational ride they’ll never forget. Every release revealed has a specific and impactful message behind it – all part of the Dead Weight experience – crafted with intention to execute a cohesive message that’s deeply important to the values of this DJ/producer.
“The Swarm,” a single that’s as intensely dark as it is heavy, not only boasts a meticulously designed riddim flow that will shock the system, it’s about fighting back against the stressors that life can throw at you and bravely going against the tides that can bring you down.
Mental health issues, financial scares, relationship woes, the state of the world, and so much more are all negative influences that pile on and feel like they’ll never let up. “The Swarm,” highlights a truthful silver lining that we do, in fact, all have the power and capability to vigorously fight against these hardships – making us more resilient during adverse times.
Dead Weight‘s sonic mission is rooted in dubstep. His live performance showcases him deep in character, which heavily enhances the immersiveness of the journey and the theatrics of what is at hand.
Inspired and influenced in the culture of hard-rock, metal, and screamo, Deadweight’s incorporation from a wide amount of music culture plays a critical role in the original disposition that radiates from this project.
AlphaTheta Corporation announces a host of new models in the DM Series of desktop monitor systems from its Pioneer DJ brand. The new DM-50D-BT integrates Bluetooth® functionality into the popular DM-50D speakers, released in late 2021.
Pioneer DJ‘s industry-renowned DM-40 models also received an upgrade to help deliver a more optimal listening experience. The updated speakers offer Bluetooth® connection capability and system upgrades to the compact DM-40 models, which have served DJs and producers well for several years. All models are available in black or white and sold in pairs.
Whichever DM Series monitor system artists choose, they’ll find the speakers produce powerful, high-quality sound. The speakers are easy to set up, tune, and use – making them ideal for various purposes. Whether artists want to play DJ sets, make their music at home, or regularly switch between the two—Pioneer DJ‘s updated DM Series offers the perfect sound.
Artists looking to produce their tracks to drop into their next set can easily do so with the speakers’ Production Mode settings with a simple switch flick. Once in Production Mode, the speakers’ DSP settings will automatically adjust to create the best sound for each application.
Artists can easily connect their DJ setup or home studio to the RCA and mini-jack input terminals on the DM Series speakers. The DM-50D-BT and DM-50D also have a TRS input, and the speakers’ Bluetooth® models enable artists to connect mobile devices for cable-free high-quality music playback wirelessly.
The volume knob and headphones socket are on the front panel for quick connection and level control. And, with the choice of black or white models, artists can pick the color to best suit their home or studio aesthetic.
Check out the video below!
KEY FEATURES
1. Advanced Design for Higher Quality Sound
Each DM Series speaker features a Class D amplifier with 96 kHz sampling DSP to produce pure, balanced bass sound. In addition, artists will find that the updated speakers feature DECO convex diffusers to distribute crystal-clear high frequencies evenly in every direction. Regardless of speaker positioning, artists receive a wide range of 3D stereo sound.
When artists need to turn up the volume, the speaker’s woofer creates extra power and aligns with the tweeter—allowing artists to hear all sound frequencies clearly. The grooves on the speaker ducts reduce air friction for tight and punchy bass, while the curved front speaker edges deliver maximum rigidity and minimum resonance for clean audio at any volume level.
2. Two-Way Sound Mode for DJing and Music Production
Artists no longer need to decide on a set of monitors for DJing or making music as the DM Series speakers are ideal for both. With the flip of a switch, artists can choose either DJ Mode or Production mode and the DSP settings optimize for the task—leaving artists free to concentrate on their mix.
3. Bluetooth® Connectivity
The Bluetooth® technology included in the DM-50D-BT and DM-40D-BT models enables artists to easily pair their smartphone, mobile device, or PC / Mac and play high-quality tracks wirelessly.
4. Easy to Use with Different DJ or Production Equipment
With RCA and mini-jack terminals, artists can connect different gear such as DJ controllers, mixers, laptops or the built-in soundcard artists use for music production. The DM-50D-BT and DM-50D models also feature a TRS input for increased device compatibility. Headphones connection and disconnection are straightforward via the socket on the front panel, and volume adjustment is more effortless with the level knob placed on the front panel.
5. Sleek, Smart Design – Available in Two Colors
Artists can bring a slick, professional look to their setup by choosing between two different model colors. The finish of the black DM Series speakers blends in perfectly with classic DJ gear, while the white models might better complement the interior design of a home or studio.
