2ŁØT Announces New Remix EP ‘The Albert Harvey Remixes’

2ŁØT

Genre-blending collective 2ŁØT releases “Sacrifice (Albert Harvey Remix),” the first single from their newly announced EP, The Albert Harvey Remixes, out October 24th.

The EP reimagines four tracks from the band’s critically praised debut album Entropy, with all remixes helmed by acclaimed Dutch producer Albert Harvey – whose past work includes collaborations with superstar DJs and producers such as David Guetta, Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Stargate, Afrojack, and more.

A longtime innovator in electronic music, Harvey brings both global dancefloor experience and deep musicality to the project. With a reputation for blending soulful instrumentation with explosive production, Harvey was a natural fit to reinterpret 2ŁØT‘s immersive, live-instrument-based sound through an entirely new lens.

“The focus of the collaboration with Albert Harvey was to dial in a dance sound that still honored our identity as live instrumentalists,” says frontman Rudy Love Jr.

“Albert has this incredible history working with some of the greatest electronic artists of our time, and he brought that same clarity and energy to these remixes. He understood our foundation but had the vision to take it somewhere totally new,” he added.

The collaboration came together through Mikkel Eriksen of Stargate, a longtime friend of the band, who immediately suggested Harvey when 2ŁØT began exploring a dance-forward evolution of their sound.

“The timing couldn’t have been more perfect,” Love adds. “Albert happened to be planning a trip to the States – and all it took was a plane ticket to Wichita to spark a creative relationship that felt completely aligned.”

“Sacrifice (Albert Harvey Remix), is a sweeping reinterpretation of one of 2ŁØT‘s most poignant songs. The track explores the tension between short-term gratification and long-term growth. It’s a meditation on discipline, intentionality, and intergenerational strength.

“The track explores the trade-offs between short-term wants and long-term needs,” Rudy shared when the original version debuted. “It dives into the concept of sacrificing instant gratification for future success, well-being, and personal growth.”

Where the original carried a slow-burning intensity, Harvey’s remix heightens the stakes with bold, propulsive energy – turning “Ready to give it all up” into a mantra of both surrender and power. The remix preserves the emotional core of the song while expanding its sonic impact across new audiences and settings.

The Albert Harvey Remixes marks the latest evolution in 2ŁØT‘s sound and vision. Their debut album Entropy – named for the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics – examined life’s descent into chaos and the refusal to surrender to it.

With tracks like “Never Knew You,” “Arrow of Time” (feat. Michael Kang), “Call For Me, and the emotionally charged “Sacrifice, the band carved out a distinctive voice blending raw introspection with genre-defying experimentation.

In April, 2ŁØT partnered with Paul Oakenfold for a remix of the album’s title track, further cementing their emerging status in the global electronic scene. With Harvey now bringing his vision to four standout songs, the band continues to stretch the edges of their identity without abandoning their core message of growth, resilience, and transformation.

The new EP follows their recent high-profile collaboration with Aloe Blacc on the inspirational anthem “Immortal,” a song rooted in the memento mori philosophy that earned praise for its courage-forward message and KTLA debut performance.

Luciano joins Fatal Fury’s knockout soundtrack with two original cuts

LUCIANO Dystopia

FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves keeps its knockout soundtrack streak alive with two new contributions from the underground Chilean-Swiss legend, Luciano.

Marking his first original releases of the year, the duo of tracks, titled ‘Alive‘ and ‘Cielo‘, show a creative pivot from Luciano‘s stripped-down club sound, channeling vibrant open-air energy across two guitar-laden cuts.

Alive‘ stands tall as a textured breakbeat track with a glowing melodic undercurrent. Guitar work drips with balearic aesthetic over a purring low-end, recalling ’90s-era rave nostalgia without ever relying on pastiche. It’s colorful and alive with detail, just as ready for a final round as it is an Ibizan sunrise.

Cielo‘ follows in suit with a funkier upbeat tone, folding disco-house rhythms and a soft-spoken vocal chop into something bright, breezy, and ultimately transportive. Tethered by warming guitar tones, the tracks feel like two sides of the same coin: ‘Alive‘ expansive and atmospheric, while ‘Cielo‘ delivers a focused, dancefloor-filling punch.

Luciano‘s addition to the City of the Wolves soundtrack is a rare move from an artist who has spent decades shaping the scene’s underground. From the basements of Santiago, Chile, to the world’s biggest festival stages, Luciano’s sound has always prioritized feeling over flash, with ‘Alive‘ and ‘Cielo‘ being no exception.

With additional tracks from artists like Solomun, Alok, Steve Aoki, and Alan Walker, the new FATAL FURY soundtrack reinforces the franchise’s evolution from a fighting game classic into a global cultural force.

The single lands via SNK in collaboration with MAHOOL, a specialist cutting-edge Saudi label at the forefront of global club culture — connecting visionary electronic sounds with the iconic spirit of Fatal Fury.

Brazilian powerhouse Vintage Culture continues his unstoppable ascent with the release of ‘Upon Your Skin’, the inaugural single on his newly launched label Affairs. Following years of international expansion, with landmark releases on the world’s most influential electronic imprints, Vintage Culture now sets the stage for a new chapter, curating a platform that reflects both his global vision and deeply rooted connection to local scenes.

Leading the charge is ‘Upon Your Skin‘, a shimmering cut that encapsulates Vintage Culture‘s ability to balance emotional resonance with peak-time club energy. Built on crisp production, an addictive topline, and a hypnotic groove, the track is lifted further by vocalist Noah Kulaga, whose indie leaning delivery adds a disarming warmth to the mix.

Kulaga‘s grainy timbre, understated phrasing and confessional lyric sensibility bring a touch of DIY intimacy, think lo-fi edges smoothed into glossy dance architecture, so the chorus feels both immediate and human, the kind of hook that lingers long after the lights come up.
