Vel C. Drops ‘Bloodline,’ a Psytrance-Infused Hard Dance Weapon

By
Andry Bosk
-

Vel C. continues to push boundaries between dancefloor energy and social commentary with his latest release, ‘Bloodline,’ a Psytrance-infused Hard Dance track that weaves Serbian heritage into relentless basslines and hypnotic rhythms.

Released via, overHAUL – his own label and event series, a platform for both his own output and that of emerging Serbian artists – the track marks a statement of intent, bringing his creative vision into sharp focus as he continues to move with passion, energy, and artistic intuition.

Working to express himself through sound, Vel C. has developed a creative mindset that values originality and connection. Aiming to weave both personal and broader societal themes into his productions, he seeks to craft narratives that carry the weight of history without losing Hard Dance’s raw, dancefloor appeal.

Now, in ‘Bloodline,’ he builds on this approach; representing an interplay of chaos against peace and optimism – something rooted deep in Serbian history – he offers a track that reflects his cultural heritage, all whilst encapsulating the storytelling efforts and sonic intensity behind his work.

A propulsive kick and a tapestry of Acid synth sequences form the sonic makeup of ‘Bloodline,’ laying the groundwork for a track defined by raw energy and drive. From the modulating, pulsating leads and layered synth work to the haunting melodic line that weaves beneath the surface, the arrangement delivers a relentless sound.

As the breakdown arrives, the echoing vocal undercurrent grows louder, breaking through the chaos until the track erupts with playfulness and upbeat energy.

A journey of high-powered momentum, the track marks the first direct infusion of Vel C.’s Serbian heritage into his sound. From the lead synth, evocative of a Serbian harmonica, to melodies written in one of the most common scales in Serbian music, it carries Balkan and oriental character, drawing inspiration from traditional Serbian Ethno music whilst upholding the Hard Techno sound that has come to define Vel C.’s signature style.

A blend of depth, raw grit, and cultural identity, ‘Bloodline’ lands within Vel C.’s catalogue with a sense of purpose and precision – showcasing the evolution of his artistic vision, while honoring the heritage that continues to shape his perspective.

Having reached charting positions with his work, Vel C. continues to navigate the genre as a multifaceted force, now offering ‘Bloodline‘ as the latest display of his clear, instinctive creative vision.

So, be sure to discover his sound today, out now and available to stream and download across all platforms, and keep up-to-date with Vel C.’s upcoming releases, news, and projects by following him across social media.

Damian Lazarus Announces Day Zero Bali

By
Marco Di
-

An ancient frequency awakens in Bali, where the mountains meet the sea and sound becomes ceremony. It calls to those who listen closely, to those who move in rhythm with the unseen. From this convergence of earth and water, a new chapter of Damian Lazarus’ Day Zero emerges on April 17, 2026—an odyssey of ritual and sound, channeling the island’s magnetic energy into a shared journey toward the center of the universe.

Across the world, Day Zero traces a constellation of gatherings—each one shaped by the land it inhabits. From the jungles of Tulum, where its mythology was born from Mayan prophecy, to the shores of Brazil’s São Miguel dos Milagres, where culture and coastline move as one, every edition reflects its surroundings in form and feeling.

With Bali as the newest point in that constellation, Day Zero continues its celestial journey—linking distant worlds through a shared pursuit of transformation and transcendence.

Two years in the making, Day Zero Bali stands as the culmination of a global search for a place that felt destined—a journey guided by the commonly held belief that Bali is the spiritual and cosmic center of the universe, where Day Zero has discovered the perfect setting for its sacred gathering.

Long regarded as a land of balance and transformation, Bali carries the same pulse that first awakened in Tulum—the birthplace of Day Zero’s mythology—while inviting the vision to evolve into new dimensions. Bali becomes the vessel for that evolution—a living stage where Day Zero can continue its dialogue between earth and the ethereal.

Day Zero Bali
Day Zero Bali 2026

Bali moves with quiet intent—alive with pattern, craft, and unseen structure. Creation feels effortless, the landscape unfolding with purpose, shaped by balance rather than boundary. Everything seems to draw inward, as if the island were built around an invisible centre—a living axis where the elements hold one another in equilibrium. For Day Zero, that sense of order becomes continuity, the next evolution in its journey toward the centre of the universe.

Led by the curatorial prowess of Damian Lazarus, whose imprint Crosstown Rebels has been one of clubland’s most influential trailblazing forces for over two decades, Day Zero has always lived at the limits of sound.

Its stages gather artists who operate in the unknown, bending genre and expectation to create moments that feel both intimate and immense. In Bali, that spirit meets a creative community in motion—producers, DJs, and spaces that echo the island’s sense of precision and openness.

Crosstown Rebels have partnered with the Savaya Group, whose dedication to electronic music is unparalleled in Asia. Rooted in the meaning of “sacred journey,” Savaya Group has become a cornerstone of Bali’s cultural evolution. From the cliffs of Uluwatu to destinations such as Desa Kitsuné and Inaré, it continues to bridge music, design, and spirit—celebrating the island’s creative pulse while honoring its sacred origins.

Beneath Bali’s star-strewn sky, every dance becomes a meditation, every sound a signal, every moment a journey inward. This is not merely an event—it is a return to the source.

Miss Monique announces a powerful collaboration with Italian duo Glowal, on the celebrated tastemaker’s own Siona Records. The two-track release “Rollin’/ ‘Lost On A Dancefloor” perfectly bridges emotion, movement, and melodic intensity.

“Rollin‘” fuses deep drive with melodic finesse. Polished, uplifting, and full of atmosphere, it’s a track that lives up to its name; pure, forward motion. On the B-side, “Lost On A Dancefloor” channels driving percussion, soaring synth layers, and haunting vocal textures.

Fierce yet refined, it’s a late-night weapon built to captivate, and has been a standout track from Miss Monique‘s performances over the summer and at her Hi residency in Ibiza.

On working with Glowal, Miss Monique reveals, “I’ve been a huge fan of Glowal’s music for a long time – their sound has always felt unique to me. With “Rollin'” and “Lost On A Dancefloor” our worlds truly connect – blending energy, melody and emotion into one story. This EP is about constant motion – both in sound and in life – always moving forward, no matter what.”

For Miss Monique, this drops at the end of an incredible Summer. From having her first residency in Ibiza in the Club Room at Hi Ibiza, to being voted into DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ poll for the first time and winning the award for Best Progressive / Melodic DJ in the DJ Awards in Ibiza.

All of this combined with performances at the world’s biggest and most prestigious festivals, proof that Miss Monique is riding on the crest of a wave, with her adding new milestones and cementing her place as global headliner, which shows no signs of slowing down.

Glowal, the Italian duo of Fabio Giannelli and Alessandro Gasperini, bring their emotive, rhythm-driven sound to Siona Records. With releases on Afterlife, Innervisions, UPPERGROUND, Diynamic, and their own Sementa, their music has drawn support from Tale Of Us, Solomun, Maceo Plex, Fideles, and ARTBAT. Their global touring includes Tomorrowland, Zamna, Extrema Outdoor, and club institutions like Fabric, Watergate, and Hï Ibiza.

With the “Rollin’/ ‘Lost On A Dancefloor” release, Miss Monique and Glowal merge their worlds into a seamless journey of rhythm and emotion, a statement release that reflects the forward-thinking essence of Siona Records.
