Ferry Corsten

Like with earlier releases’ Fire’ feat Simon Le Bon and Gold-certified hit ‘Punk’, Ferry Corsten has managed to successfully levitate himself beyond the trance genre, gaining respect from contemporaries in house, EDM and underground circles.

Whilst internationally renowned electronic artist Ferry Corsten has had a career synonymous with trance, his musical range has always extended far beyond just one genre. His latest release, ‘Timeout‘, in collaboration with rising talent Dustin Husain, adds another layer to the spectrum of sounds that have contributed to his career over the past two decades.

An irresistible house player, ‘Timeout‘ pulsates with a progressive groove and a stylised piano melody, leading the track to quickly hit its pace with an energetic drive. With ‘Timeout‘, Ferry and Dustin draw on influences from the classic piano house era as they interlace lashings of energy into a female-led vocal house track that fans and DJs will play well into the fall.

Revealing the message behind the track, Ferry said:

“This one is simple. We wanted to make a track that halts people from the mundane of their working week, studies, or whatever else they need a release from and signals that it’s time for the weekend. So, get ready to party!”

Vintage Culture & Goodboys join forces on new track ‘This Feeling’

Global superstars Vintage Culture and Goodboys have united on new single ‘This Feeling’, out now on Insomniac Records.

An anthemic delivery of progressive house, ‘This Feeling’ combines ascending synths and rich, melodic breakdowns with rousing vocals – a dizzying concoction that communicates the track title in sonic form.

Vintage Culture returns to Insomniac Records after the huge success with the 2021 single “You Give Me a Feeling” alongside James Hype. While Goodboys most recently dropped ‘Black & Blue’, a single that has already racked up more than 2 million Spotify streams.

From the tiny municipality of Mundo Novo, Lukas Ruiz aka Vintage Culture, has risen to international stardom through his songwriting, studio productions, and charismatic stage presence. Already a household name in his homeland of Brazil, he ascended to the #1 selling artist on Beatport and #1 Most Played Producer on 1001Tracklists last year.

His career took off in 2019 following the release of his Jorja Smith & Maverick Sabre remix. Vintage Culture has since enjoyed Platinum success on multiple singles, as well as topping the Billboard Club / Dance and Spotify Dance Charts.

Having collaborated with the likes of Roland Clark, Tiësto, Maxi Jazz, Sonny Fodera and Anabel Englund, to name a few, Vintage Culture is known for his irresistible melodies combined with driving instrumental rhythms to create a mesmerising style and sound which is uniquely recognisable.

The dance music titan enjoyed a 2021 of sold-out shows at venues such as Fabric London, Egg London, Brooklyn Mirage and Space Miami, and also graced the stages of world-renowned festivals such as Creamfields, Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas. Vintage Culture looks ahead to a packed summer including a 16-date Ibiza residency at Hï, a Las Vegas residency at Tao Group venues, his debut Coachella performance, plus major festivals including ARC Festival, Ultra, Electric Daisy Carnival, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and a full schedule of European dates.

UK duo Josh Grimmet and Ethan Shore, aka Goodboys catapulted to fame with their 2019 debut feature ‘Piece Of Your Heart’, written with Meduza, which has amassed 3.4 billion streams worldwide, charted at #2 in the UK and received a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Dance Recording’.

Their follow up ‘Lose Control’ was met with similar fanfare, achieving platinum and gold sales worldwide alongside 2 billion streams. Writers, producers and vocalists, Goodboys are a triple threat, with Josh earning a Grammy nomination in his own right for his writing and performance as part of the Hillsong Young & Free.

A scintillating collaboration between these two dance music behemoths unsurprisingly throws up one of the tracks of the year so far.

Just a week away from the ‘Sentio’ album release, Martin Garrix is pulling out all the stops.

A name that couldn’t be left out of the streak of releases is one of his close friends, Justin Mylo. Together with Mylo and Grammy-Award-winning singer Dewain Whitmore, he created ‘Find You‘.

‘Find You‘ is an energetic and bright track like only Garrix and Mylo can create. The heartfelt lyrics are reminiscent of a stranded relationship and trying to get that feeling of love back again, which is perfectly emphasized by Dewain Whitmore‘s heartfelt vocals.

The three are no strangers to working together, having teamed up on ‘Burn Out‘ before already. Gearing up for the album release next week, Garrix has lined up the last tracks that will complete the ‘Sentio‘ tracklist.

Marking her first vocal release of the year, DJ and producer Nora En Pure reveals her latest single, ‘Us’ via Enormous Tunes.

Working its magic in her recent sets across the globe, ‘Us‘ exudes a melancholic atmosphere through emotive vocals, keys and strings.

Employing a signature deep bassline, alongside scattered samples, Nora En Pure adds further depth to the radio-ready cut, which will undoubtedly speak to many with its heartfelt lyrics. The original is set to receive a club-ready version, as well as alternative remixes to move ‘Us‘ into a different dimension.

Taking part in this year’s International Music Summit in Ibiza, Nora En Pure has been announced as one of the keynote interviewees, and will also be headlining the opening party at Lío Ibiza on Wednesday 27th April 2022. Hosting a successful debut edition of Purified Chicago earlier this month, Radius Chicago saw performances from Paige, Eli & Fur, Cassian as well as the label head herself.

Returning to The Brooklyn Mirage this August, and adding two new editions in Denver, The Bay Area, and Prague, Purified continues its global takeover, with new events to be announced soon.

Enrico Sangiuliano announces the launch of his 10-chapter, transient record label NINETOZERO

Enrico Sangiuliano stands as one of contemporary dance music’s most influential talents, with a catalogue of timeless No.1 records to his name. Embarking on his newest exploration in the world of sound design, the production maestro announces the upcoming launch of his 10-chapter, transient record label NINETOZERO.

A master of conceptual studies, and with deep and meaningful narratives at the core of his many opuses, the Emilia native’s forthcoming imprint serves as an intervention to the notion of perpetual music, opting for a storyline that’s both fleeting and told with growing intensity.

With a timeline spanning three years, NINETOZERO‘s countdown of releases will stand as some of Enrico‘s most progressive and freeing compositions to date, forming a statement of music that forces us to focus on the present as well as the sensitivity and value of time. In a world where music is over released and often underappreciated, NINETOZERO‘s ephemeral messaging will encourage audiences to challenge their listening habits, offering an alternative experience that’s driven by the unavoidable conclusion of the project.

Enrico Sangiuliano NINETOZERO

Here’s what Enrico had to say about his new label:

“Welcome to NINETOZERO, my new temporary sound dimension focused on the present and with an end to come. As with everything in the universe, the only constant is change. I’ll go through this evolutionary path for 3 years, from the beginning to the end – from 9 to 0. Let’s embrace it and grab it while it exists! Nothing lasts forever. With passion and love, Enrico”

Diverging from the traditional format of releasing music, and to fully realise the project’s scope, Enrico‘s 10 chapters will each extend their impact with translations into varying creative outputs, with the first body of work set for release in June.

alice.km has dropped her 2nd release of the year with “Beltane.”

Female solo electronic DJ/producer and multi-faceted entrepreneur alice.km has dropped her 2nd release of the year with “Beltane.” The single follows up January’s Solar Waves EP, which showcased two tracks,“Ostara,” and “Arctic Age,” each of which featuring a certain chilling, organic/natural approach to songwriting and sample-crafting. “Beltane,” still maintains certain cues found from the EP, being a part of the makeup of her signature sound that defines her style at this point in time.

This season of sounds shares a certain mysterious energy about them that channels an ominous spiritual hopefulness, one of many unique factors she brings to the table sonically.

An light ethinc percussion starts off and soft keys begin to set the mood of “Beltane.” Things gradually evolve as the technicality seduces the mind and puts one into a hypnotic, sedated trance without the listener noticing. Mystical echo/delayed vocals begin to work their magic, helping infuse just the right amount of personality into this ambient journey through the vision of alice.km

Ironically, “Beltane,” is released just in time for the Pagan holiday known as May Day. Mostly celebrated in the British Isles. The holiday falls right between the spring equinox and summer solstice, celebrating peak springtime and the richness the earth has to offer during this period.

For alice.km, this was a production that was simply meant to me, the pieces of what this would become being more organized mentally that what the music creation process tends to be for her. “Beltane,” has found a home alongside 3 other tracks via the Running Wild VA compilation, a collection of tracks put out by label IAMHER. The imprint is founded and operated by renowned act Underher, featuring well-curated selections that all must pass a quality standard they approve of and that finds a fit.

On top of pursuing a music career, alice.km is the co-founder of the immersive event promoter group Last Night’s Makeup, creating unique and engaging nightlife events showcasing various styles of dance music while incorporating live performance elements such as burlesque, live musicians, drag, go-go, etc.

Every first Friday of the month from June until September, the globally renowned underground kings will team up with Studio 338‘s flagship party to bring cutting edge techno talent to Ibiza´s most beautiful and iconic club.

Sankeys Ibiza parties are famous for being the most naughty and hedonistic of them all. They never fail to bring a seriously music-first and underground-only vibe with the best house and tech DJs from the very cutting edge.

These daytime events are roof-off affairs under the sun with a seriously old school Ibiza and the price of the events is kept very affordable in line with those authentic White Isle values. In short, the return of Sankeys this year will plug a much needed gap for underground music lovers.

This summer the iconic brand is also opening a brand new UK venue as well as continuing their dominance in London at Studio 338, but these four parties promise the chance to experience Sankeys in full and authentic Balearic style.

The parties take place on June 3rd, July 1st, August 5th and September 2nd at the newly refurbished Es Paradis, which is one of the oldest clubs in the world. It is an original Ibiza hideout that shuns VIP culture and label service for proper party vibes with the option to remove the roof for daytime partying under these, all with a powerful sound system and stylish, organic aesthetic that stands it apart with a unique charm and beauty.

The Opening party lineup has been revealed which will include tech-house titans such as Hector Couto, Max Chapman, Bontan and PAX. This is set to be one of the most essential no-frills all-thrills residencies of the Summer.

sympL Releases 2nd Single ‘No Water’ From Anticipated Upcoming Album

By
Andry Bosk
-

sympL’s 2nd single from his upcoming album brings together modern social commentary and sardonic, yet witty lyricism backed by an infectious & almost frantic cadence – somewhere between Big Daddy Kane and the Dead Kennedys.

Sonically, he revisits the arpeggiated synths and breakbeat drum patterns of 90’s – while adding a wobbling bassline beneath it all. The clavinet leads the charge of this funky brigade – although, perhaps the most surprising element is the chorus – a re-purposing of Rock Master Scott’s phrase: “we don’t need no water” sung by his children in the wake of national protests a few years ago.

The combination is as manic as the visuals that accompany it suggest – his longtime partner and collaborator, The One Lavic – under her video editing moniker The Indie Side Media, takes the lead on the video for the song – blending public domain animation with go-pro footage taken while on a first post-pandemic tour.

The message is one of a society unraveling from within – from the contaminated waters in Flint, Michigan to the irony of a country built on immigration while harboring racism, sympL seeks to capture the hypocrisy with more of a tongue-in-cheek outlook than being aggressively political.

“But then something happened. Pawns took the rooks, the knights, and the magic… It ain’t safe no more. If you’ve got riches better pay the poor…”
