Once again the hard-working team behind EXE club in Bulgaria put on another spellbinding event together with one of the world’s most immersive electronic dance music events, elrow, and it was one for the ages!

Everybody was picking their jaws up off of the floor following sets from multi-talented DJs and producers such as Joris Voorn, Wade, Marc Maya, George Privatti, Florentia and Pavel Petrov.

The organizers made certain that there was something for everybody, and that the many angles of the versatile dance music culture were made available to the elrow family. There were beautifully decorated chill zones available where you could relax and recharge for the next set, a photo booth where the lucky attendees could take some interesting Chinese-themed photos for their social network profiles, a merchandise vendor, and many more!

elrow‘s event in Sofia was definitely one of their best so far. Those that did not get to experience it firsthand should check out some videos online and prepare for the next edition.

Diode Eins release their brand new 2-track EP ‘The Light’

The German trio “Diode Eins” is making a name for themselves by exploring the more subversive edge with their music, it is this adventurous leaning that sees them step up for the next Deep State Recordings release. Their new EP is all about reimagining genre tropes with music that is most at home in dark abandoned buildings, cut to pieces by bright strobe lights.

Here’s what Diode Eins had to say about their music:

We grew up in the same place and have been friends since our school days. The friendship has intensified after graduating from high school in 2016 due to our similar musical interests… but we were not into Techno at all.

As kids, we used to listen to artists like Skrillex, Netsky or Koan Sound and since Neuss is not far from Cologne, we quickly got into the Dubstep and Drum&Bass scene. Only after we experienced a Techno set by Anna Reusch in a local club, we all fell in love with the genre.”

This warehouse frame of mind makes for a compelling record with “The Light“. A two-tracker that features original music which has its roots firmly in their energetic live set & rave scene ethics.

“With every song we produce, the most important thing is to convey a feeling. They are a product of various musical influences. And because of that, our sound is constantly morphing over time. We don’t want to put ourselves into a specific genre, as it’s limiting our possibilities. Yes, we might produce many different styles but we don’t think this is something negative” the trio added.

The record opens with “The Light” – a breakbeat-infused rolling Italo-Progressive monster. On the B side “Fractal Dance” takes things in a darker Techno-inspired direction that opens up after the break with a melodic flourish.

Who are your inspirations?

There are so many because we take inspiration from all kinds of music. We always loved the complex bass music from artists like Koan Sound or Noisia. Some of the newer Artists we came across are IMANU and Ekcle. In forms of Techno and House we are looking up to the Keinemusik crew, Maceo Plex, Enrico Sangiuliano or Colyn. And besides that we also need to mention the outstanding Max Cooper, Nils Frahm and Lorn.”

How is the scene in your city?

The scene is very open and friendly to all kinds of people and music. Everyone will find a place for themselves and their taste in music here. There is a big community for bass music (D&B, Dubstep, Psytrance and Basshouse) but a large one for techno as well. A few years ago techno in cologne was very dreamy, melodic and deep. These days there is an ongoing trend for harder techno.

Tell us a little about your live set?

Our performances are hard to describe because they are quite different each time. But whether we play a driving techno set in a warehouse or a trippy, melodic set at Cologne’s Kunstbar, we always try to bring something new to the dance floor. This sometimes leads to surprised faces in the crowd, but also creates memorable moments.

After our Deep State Recordings release, a few tracks in different styles will follow. Melodic and dreamy as well as heavier pieces. We would be happy to see some of those on Deep State recordings again.

Currently, we are working on a big album which will take some time. With this project, we want to bring together dance music and more artistic pieces made purely for listening. In the long run, we are working on a new kind of live performance in the form of an audiovisual experience.

Having gained support from the likes of UMEK, Anna Reusch, and others it is the perfect time to welcome them to the label.

Listen to the track below and enjoy!

Martin Garrix announces his first-ever club album: ‘Sentio’

After not releasing any club music for the past two years due to the pandemic, Martin Garrix has been premiering one club ID after the other during his live shows over the last couple of weeks. Now, he’s announcing the release of his first-ever club album, ‘Sentio’, which will be out on the 29th of April.

Here’s what Martin Garrix had to say about his new album:

The crazy thing is I’ve never released a Garrix album. During COVID I made zero club music because it felt weird to make festival music when there were no shows. When the shows came back I had so much new, revived energy that I made tons of new club music.

We’ve decided to release a lot of the tracks in the coming weeks and bundle them into a club album. I feel like people have collected new energy the past two years, and I can’t describe how amazing it feels to be back on tour and seeing everyone’s reactions to all the new music.

During his sets at Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Garrix premiered lots of brand new IDs with fans immediately starting the guessing game of naming the tracks and feature artists. Over the coming weeks, most of these IDs will be revealed one by one. Kicking it off with ‘Follow‘, his highly-anticipated collaboration with longtime friend Zedd last week, the second track of the album, ‘Limitless‘, with Mesto is out today.

With their last original collaboration already stemming from 2016, it was about time Martin Garrix and Mesto got back into the studio together to create a new track. Taking us back in time, ‘Limitless‘ has a nostalgic feel to it, while still sounding fresh. Premiered during his live shows over the last weekends, ‘Limitless‘ had the crowd going crazy accompanied by a visual spectacle.

From next week on, the new album releases will be rolling out on Tuesdays and Fridays for the weeks to come.

Listen to the track below.
