Symphony of Unity debuts its first-ever release on Tomorrowland Music

The Symphony of Unity

After captivating audiences at Tomorrowland Belgium, two sold-out shows in Brussels, and the spectacular UNITY performance at Sphere Las Vegas, Symphony of Unity is set to make its official recording debut.

The genre-blending ensemble releases a stunning symphonic re-imagining of Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash‘s legendary hit “Reload” (feat. John Martin) on Tomorrowland Music.

A long-time crowd favorite in the dance world, the original Reload stormed the charts upon its release in 2013, peaking at #3 in the UK Singles Chart, topping charts across Europe, and amassing hundreds of millions of streams to this day.

Now, more than a decade later, Symphony of Unity breathes new life into the anthem with a grand orchestral twist, merging electronic energy with cinematic depth.

“We’ve always believed that music has no boundaries. This rework is our tribute to a timeless classic, transformed into a powerful symphonic experience.” ​Symphony of Unity

The rework, which has already sparked massive excitement during live shows at Tomorrowland, and in Sphere Las Vegas (UNITY), marks a major milestone for the project, turning their one-of-a-kind live concept into an official release on Tomorrowland‘s own label.

2ŁØT Completes The Albert Harvey Mix EP with “Arrow of Time”

2ŁØT

Genre-bending band 2ŁØT celebrates the release of The Albert Harvey Mix – a four-track EP reimagining their most powerful songs through the globally attuned lens of acclaimed Dutch producer Albert Harvey (David Guetta, Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Stargate). To mark the occasion, they’ve also dropped a new visualizer for “Arrow of Time,” bringing fresh energy and imagery to one of their most cosmic tracks.

Originally released as part of 2ŁØT‘s debut album Entropy, “Arrow of Time” features Michael Kang of The String Cheese Incident and explores the universe’s relentless momentum from order to disorder – a reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of living fully in the present.

“Arrow of Time encapsulates the cosmic journey from order to disorder, a testament to the universe’s relentless momentum,” shared 2ŁØT frontman Rudy Love Jr.

“It’s a heartfelt anthem, beckoning us to grasp fleeting moments and treasure the present. With each beat, it celebrates our existence and the unstoppable trajectory of time’s arrow.”

Harvey‘s remix builds on that foundation with bold, immersive production, turning the song into a propulsive, dance-floor meditation. Textural layering and sweeping drops elevate the track’s emotional stakes, pushing its message into a sonic realm that feels both euphoric and existential.

“Albert has always challenged us to rethink the creative process” adds 2ŁØT bassist Robert Trusko. “This remix EP really enabled Albert to explore the spirit of these songs. He discovered ways to raise their energy without losing their essence. This remix is my favorite of the EP because of its soul house elements.”

Arrow of Time (Albert Harvey Mix)” is the culmination of a project that began with the release of “Sacrifice (Albert Harvey Mix),” a bold reinterpretation that preserved the original’s emotional intensity while infusing it with kinetic dance energy.

That was followed by “Never Knew You (Albert Harvey Mix),” a moody exploration of grief and misperception originally written by Rudy Love Sr., Rudy Jr.‘s late father and a revered soul artist. The third release, “Call For Me (Albert Harvey Mix),” offered a cinematic take on the band’s heartfelt plea for connection and support.

Together, the four songs form a striking sonic suite that preserves the emotional core of 2ŁØT‘s message while expanding its impact to global electronic audiences.

The Albert Harvey Mix EP follows 2ŁØT‘s recent high-profile collaborations with Aloe Blacc (“Immortal“) and Paul Oakenfold (“Entropy (Remix)“), further signaling their evolution from emerging genre-defiers to fully realized creative force – one that blends depth, resilience, and social connection with boundary-pushing production and vision.

2ŁØT is a five-piece band blending hip hop, funk, soul, jazz, rock, and electronic music into a sound they call Electronic Jam Music (EJM). Formed during a time of personal upheaval, the group – comprised of Rudy Love Jr., Chase Koch, Omar Jawar II, Sage Judd, and Robert Trusko – uses music as a tool for social change.

Their work spans themes of addiction recovery, youth empowerment, and criminal justice reform, offering listeners both emotional catharsis and community-driven purpose.

Here’s what Chris had to say:

“‘Down For The Night’ is about losing yourself, about escaping reality for a moment and finding freedom in sound. Poté brought the perfect vocal to capture that feeling, turning it into something deeply human and universal.” 

This year continues to see Chris on a limitless trajectory, catapulted by high-profile collaborations with Anyma and Adam Beyer, B2B sets with Enrico Sanguiliano, Kevin de Vries, and Massano, and lauded performances at Ultra, EDC, and Tomorrowland, and summer closers at Ibiza clubs like , Pacha, Ushuaïa, and UNVRS. Most recently, he co-wrote and co-produced the original soundtrack for Vetements SS26 Paris Fashion Week show alongside Anyma.

Armin van Buuren announces his first-ever acoustic album, Piano

Renowned electronic artist Armin van Buuren is proud to announce his first-ever acoustic album, Piano, arriving October 31 via Armada Music. In a unique partnership, Piano will be available exclusively on Apple Music and Apple Music Classical for one week before its wide release across all major streaming services on November 7.

The first track, ‘Sonic Samba‘ from the album, is out now on Apple Music and Apple Music Classical. The announcement was celebrated with a surprise in-store performance from Armin at Apple‘s Leidseplein store in Amsterdam, followed by a panel and playback at Dolby Atmos House, both held earlier today during Amsterdam Dance Event.

Far from being a departure from his electronic roots, Piano emphasizes the classical influences that have long shaped Armin‘s sound. His music is deeply rooted in a lifelong connection to classical tradition —nurtured by a piano-playing father and an early immersion in composers whose works instilled in him a lasting respect for melody, harmony, and structure.

What began as a decade-long pursuit to learn piano—initially intended to enrich his electronic work and support his mental well-being—evolved into a creative journey of its own.

Growing bored of playing existing scores, Armin began composing his own melodies, which later developed into fully realized pieces under the mentorship of classically trained composer Geronimo Snijtsheuvel.

Armin van Buuren Piano
Armin van Buuren – Piano

Each composition on Piano is inspired by a feeling, emotion, moment, or person(s) deeply important to Armin, including his family — his wife, Erika, his father, his brother — as well as the natural world. The album translates these memories and emotions into piano-driven narratives. The first piece Armin composed for the project, ‘Fathers & Sons‘, set the tone for the album and inspired him to continue in a similar emotional vein.

Armin van Buuren says:

“Creating melodies behind the piano has always been the foundation of my music. Together with my teacher Geronimo, sketches grew into fifteen pure pieces, free from beats. This project shows another side of me: intimate, honest, direct.

My roots lie in a home filled with classical, rock, and electronic music, shaped by my father, brother, and artists like Vangelis and The Orb. After decades of trance and festivals, I longed for music without pressure — just fingers on keys. In 2025, I recorded everything in one take at ConcertLab. This album is my most personal work: from heart, to keys, to ears.”

Recorded and filmed at ConcertLab – the world’s first purpose-built filming studio dedicated to Fine Arts Music – in Utrecht in early 2025, and mixed in Dolby Atmos®, Piano was captured over seven days, with each performance recorded in a single take. The album features van Buuren playing the piano, both solo and with other musicians including a cellist and a chamber orchestra, notably the renowned violinist Lisa Jacobs.

The album’s lead single, ‘Sonic Samba‘, will be available across all major streaming services from October 31, offering a glimpse into the album’s offering ahead of the album’s wide release.

In addition to original compositions, Armin van Buuren revisits one of his all-time favorite trance classics, ‘Children‘ by Robert Miles, as a fresh piano interpolation that bridges his electronic roots with his classical sensibilities.

Piano will be available on Apple Music and Apple Music Classical exclusively from Friday, October 31 and released in Dolby Atmos®, and widely across all major streaming services from Friday, November 7.
