Multi-talented DJ and producer, HellKey returns with an energy-infused and anthemic metal dubstep single called ‘Forged InHellfire’. The bass-heavy track features a unique sound design, a speaker-rattling bassline, and dark, powerful vocals.
Undoubtedly, ‘Forged In Hellfire’ combines several elements, and even crosses genre-barriers to create a perfect arrangement. With elements from dubstep, melodic, and metal genres, HellKey outperforms himself with a well-rounded release.
The arrangement of the single is very unique and different from what you would expect in a dubstep track. This single contains an unsurmountable amount of energy that will have any live audience breaking their necks at the rail.
The vowel-like synths and the driving bassline give the underlying, dark vocal another level of energy. With powerful percussion, and diverse instrumentation, ‘Forged In Hellfire’ is a must-listen for any dubstep fan, especially if you are a fan of Borgore, Sullivan King or Kayzo.
HellKey highlights the message of the song to be “addressed to those who are living similar difficulties and know they don’t want to quit; those who have a difficult challenge to overcome; those who have an inner wrath that can be canalized to break out of a nightmare.”

Dutch superstar DJ and producer, Don Diablo continues his prolific start to 2020 with new single ‘Thousand Faces’, a deeply personal record that taps into the heartache attached to losing a parent.
The single is out on Friday 19th June, with the official music video to follow on 21st June. The video was directed and produced by Don Diablo dropping on Father’s Day. It includes exclusive footage he filmed at the age of 13 with his first home video camera. Featuring Multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Andy Grammer, ‘Thousand Faces‘ finds the sweet spot between modern dance music and acoustic genius, it’s a track destined to touch the hearts of music lovers worldwide.
Don explains: “Thousand Faces is definitely one of my most personal records that I have written so far. Almost seven years ago I lost the most important man in my life: my father. Since that day my vision on life has changed drastically, not long after that I started achieving all the things I dreamed of most of my life.
His passing fuelled me with so much passion and dedication which, looking back on it, gave me an unprecedented amount of energy and drive to work harder than ever to make the most out of my life. During these last years I have often wondered what my Dad would have thought if he could see me now.
“Things got so much bigger than both of us could have even imagined from the last conversations we had. Sometimes when I am performing in front of thousands of fans it feels like I can see him standing in the crowd, nodding his head, giving me his approval. I know my story isn’t unique, eventually we all go through similar experiences, it’s the lessons we learn from these experiences and the way we handle it that sets us apart.
I know Andy lost his Mom ten years ago which also made a huge impact on his life, so on top of his incredible vocal talent he felt like the perfect person to tell my story and by doing so, also making it his story and at the end of the day the universal story for all of us.”
“Having both lost our parents (his father and my mother) before we reached success, this was a really special song to put out together” Andy adds.
The track follows on from Don Diablo‘s March single ‘Bad‘, featuring Moroccan-English artist Zak Abel, a floorfilling club smash that has racked up over 4 million YouTube hits in two months.
“Pow Pow Pow”, the newest and unprecedented collaboration between the Brazilian duo Chemical Surf and world renowned DJ and producer Kaskade, has arrived via Kaskade’s own label Arkade.
“Pow Pow Pow” is the latest release of the brothers Lucas and Hugo, who have collaborated with one of the biggest names in dance music, the one and only Kaskade. This track is now available on all streaming platforms, presenting explosive bass and drops full of groove.
“We produced the first version of this song in 2017, with Hugo’s vocals, but we were not completely satisfied with the instrumental part of it so we never released it. With plenty of time to work in the studio due to the quarantine, we decided to modernize the song with a new drop.
We sent the new version to Kaskade, who liked it a lot. So it made sense for him to work on “Pow Pow Pow” along with us. This collaboration has made the track perfect“, explain Lucas and Hugo.
“Pow Pow Pow” is one of those tracks that hits the dancefloor with a very high dose of energy, and through the dancefloors in our homes at this moment. This is possible due to the heavyweight and musical authenticity that the Brazilian duo shows in their production along with Kaskade’s experienced perspective.
Formed by the Sanches brothers, Chemical Surf bring new perspectives to production and live shows seeking to subvert rules of electronic music through their motto “R.I.P Genres”. The brothers have performed at festivals such as Rock In Rio, Lollapalooza, Ultra Miami, EDC Las Vegas, and Beyond Wonderland.
Chemical Surf have accumulated over 250 million streams on digital platforms, including super hits like “Hey Hey Hey” and “I Wanna Do“. Chemical Surf continue to advance more and more into the international market with collaborations with artists Steve Aoki, Afrojack, and R3HAB on the way. In addition, they recently released the EP Terremoto on Martin Garrix‘s STMPD RCRDS.
Grammy-nominated DJ and producer, Kaskade emerged as one of the most successful Progressive House DJs of the 2000s. He has been pioneering the Las Vegas residency concept and performing for hundreds of thousands of people across the United States. With his brilliant dance music hymns, such as “Atmosphere“, “Move For Me” and “I Remember“, he continues to win fans over worldwide. After several tours in Brazil, Kaskade continues to show his love for the country and its music.
“We’ve been fans of Kaskade for a long time. We were very happy when he started playing our songs at his shows, so we reached out to him. He then invited us to do something together. Our connection has been strong since the beginning and the three of us are very pleased with the result. It was such an honor to work with Kaskade. We hope to work with him more often“, says Chemical Surf.
Taking a listen to Kaskade & Chemical Surf‘s “Pow Pow Pow“, the track is bound to be heard all over dancefloors soon.

The new tune, featuring the vocal talent of fellow Canadian and singer/songwriter Sara Diamond, serves as the second song to be put out from their upcoming sophomore album set for release this summer. Out now via Ultra Music, ‘Back to You‘ is available to listen on all streaming platforms.

The duo’s signature energetic dubstep sound is interspersed throughout the entirety of their latest edgy sonic endeavor, perfectly complemented by the track’s melodically ethereal vibe courtesy of Diamond.

Sara Diamond is one of our favorite vocalists, and her runs in this song are absolutely breathtaking and hauntingly beautiful. Old and new AC fans will certainly recognize the feels and love in this record.‘ – Adventure Club

Announcing itself with an assertive kick drum, Offaiah turns an already dancefloor-focused track into a certified deep house banger, pairing Bergen’s euphoric vocals with an infectious drop. It follows on from his recent Sister Sledge-sampling disco heater ‘That Makes Me Love You‘.

It marks Topping’s first release since his vocal edit of ‘The 302‘ by DJ Deeon and Gettoblaster, which was released as part of TRICK 006.
