Black Coffee has linked up with fellow global superstars Diplo and Elderbrook on new single ‘Never Gonna Forget’.

An inspirational, emotion-tinged electro-acoustic jam with a signature Black Coffee groove, ‘Never Gonna Forget‘ pairs delicate guitar strings with the soaring, pitch-perfect vocals of Grammy-nominee Elderbrook.

It marks the sixth and final single release from Black Coffee‘s highly anticipated forthcoming album, following collaborations with musical superstar Pharrell Williams, UK singer-songwriter Celeste, chart-topper Sabrina Claudio and R&B icon Usher.

Establishing himself as one of the biggest stars of the global electronic music scene, Black Coffee‘s diverse production style has gained him recognition across the world. His penchant for production and vast musical knowledge jump-started the South African DJ scene and brought his cultural perspective to clubs and festivals around the globe.

After releasing his multi-award winning debut album Pieces Of Me, his profile continued to grow as he found himself collaborating with the likes of Drake, Alicia Keys and Usher. Over the years, Black Coffee has also asserted himself as a proud philanthropist and businessman, recently sharing his Africa Is Not A Jungle initiative on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

The sixth star-studded Black Coffee single in quick succession, ‘Never Gonna Forget‘ is the final track to be released ahead of the long-awaited Subconsciously drop on February 5th. Titled Subconsciously, the 12-track LP is set for release on February 5th, with pre-orders now available here.

DJ and producer, Julian Jordan kicks off 2021 with spanking new track ‘Big Bad Bass’. Known for his sharp and aggressive basslines, Jordan surely doesn’t disappoint. After being premiered by Martin Garrix on New year’s Eve, millions around the world were waiting for the track to be released.

‘Big Bad Bass‘ starts off with magnetized piano keys which build-up to the euphoric and hard-hitting drop. Muffled synths combined with exhilarating drumrolls lead up to the electric bridge which spirals up into a second drop, ending the track on a powerful note.

Julian delighted his fanbase in a video broadcasted by STMPD RCRDS, in which STMPD RCRDS artists had to guess which artist was behind the 11 IDs played by Martin Garrix in his Tomorrowland set. ‘Big Bad Bass‘ was immediately recognized as a Julian Jordan ID by most of his fans and fellow STMPD artists, as Jordan really developed and established a true signature sound over the past years.

However, when it was his own turn to guess, he feigned a priceless ‘I don’t know’ as he could not yet announce his upcoming track. Jordan might not win an Oscar for his acting performances, but he is certainly coming for the charts with yet another colossal hit.

Julian Jordan has way more in stock for 2021. Planning to release a few tracks in the coming months, he has truly established himself as a regular chart-topper and is definitely there to stay.

Kicking off 2021 in style, UK producer Venetian returns to the release radar showcasing a whole new sound. Ready to make his mark with his latest musical masterpiece, ‘Feel Me’, Venetian provides an alternative dance/pop anthem to bless the soundwaves.

Recognised for his vocal creations, Venetian proves his production abilities by effortlessly crossing genres, fusing a dance/pop beat with futuristic vocals, while maintaining an alternative edge.

The energetic offering serves as a breath of fresh air, calling upon a house-infused chord progression, punchy stabs and a bouncing bassline, resulting in the ultimate dance-floor filler. The powerful vocals provide a darker, mysterious tone to the track, introducing the burgeoning producer’s new sound in an alluring fashion.

Bart Skils remixes gardenstate’s track ‘Surreal’

Anjunabeats presents a new remix of gardenstate’s (aka Sweden’s Marcus Schossow & American born Matthew Felner) ’Surreal’ from Amsterdam native Bart Skils.

Bart is a mainstay of Adam Beyer’s Drumcode label where, for over a decade, Bart has exclusively released his original music. A highlight: ‘Your Mind’, his 2018 collaboration with label boss Beyer.

Beyond his extensive Drumcode discography, Bart has remixed Underworld, Moby, Push, and Joris Voorn. His long-running ‘Voltt’ residency is a fixture of Amsterdam’s vibrant club scene.

gardenstate was formed after a chance meeting between Marcus Schössow and American producer Matthew Felner in 2008. The pair started creating music together in 2019 and have already supported the likes of Eric Prydz, Sander Van Doorn, Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden, and Mat Zo. They’ve released on imprints like Yotto’s Odd One Out, Joris Voorn’s Spectrum, and Cosmic Gate’s ‘Wake Your Mind.’

“What’s most important when I receive a remix request is that I feel the vibe and sounds from a track. Surreal caught me straight away with a cool melodic hook and I felt I could definitely give it a proper “Bart Skils” treatment with a fresh rolling groove made for the dance floor.”
– Bart Skills

Two gardenstate compositions were featured on Above & Beyond’s ‘Anjunabeats Volume 15’ compilation, including ’Surreal’, which was released in full last autumn.

The Bart Skils remix of gardenstate’s ’Surreal’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

‘Underwater‘ has racked up more than 4.5 million Spotify streams since its November release, also featuring on Englund‘s acclaimed debut album Messing With Magic. The LP was described as “smoldering and sultry” by Forbes, with fellow Hot Creations collaborators Lee Foss and Jamie Jones making appearances across the dazzling ten-track soundscape.
