Tiësto Drops Pulsating Remix Of Vanco’s “Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)” Feat. Aya

Tiësto releases his remix of South African DJ/Producer Vanco’s infectious ‘Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)’ featuring Kuwaiti vocalist Aya, reimagining the Johannesburg producer’s viral summer release with his signature festival-ready power.

Tiësto‘s remix takes the cross-cultural energy of Vanco‘s original and pushes it to new heights, amplifying Aya‘s soaring vocal with widescreen synths, thunderous builds, and ramped up peak-time power. The result is a version primed to unite underground dancefloors and festival stages alike.

Speaking on the remix, Vanco says :

“To have Tiësto remix one of my records is a dream. Ma Tnsani was born from my roots and my love for blending cultures through sound. To hear it reimagined on this scale is incredibly special.”

Hailing from Johannesburg, Vanco has carved out a sound that balances African rhythms with global electronic influences. As profiled by Mixmag earlier this year, he’s released music on Sony, Universal, Get Physical, Defected, Sondela and has collaborated with Moby, Black Eyed Peas, Daddy Yankee, Pablo Fierro and Una Rams, and is also enjoying follow-up success this summer with his remix of Ciza‘s huge viral anthem ‘Isaka (6AM)‘, another record coming out of South Africa with over 40 million streams to date.

With Tiësto‘s remix now set to catapult ‘Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)‘ to even greater heights, the track reaffirms Vanco‘s standing as an artist bridging continents through music – and marks a powerful new chapter in his journey.

TH;EN and Pavel Petrov collaborate on dynamic new track ‘Move’

Acclaimed electronic producers TH;EN and Pavel Petrov join forces for their powerful new release, ‘Move’, released on 1001 Recordings.

A track that seamlessly blends groove-driven energy with genre-crossing creativity, ‘Move‘ is a true meeting point between two distinct yet complementary sonic identities. Built around a striking vocal line and anchored by a meticulously designed low end, the track is equally suited for intimate club settings and large festival stages.

With ‘Move‘, the duo captures the excitement of collaboration – combining styles, bridging genres, and delivering a track that stands out with both character and precision.

Both artists bring a wealth of experience to the collaboration: TH;EN has carved out a reputation for deep, melodic productions that push the boundaries of house and techno, while Pavel Petrov, known for his releases on key European imprints, has consistently delivered groove-led, forward-thinking tracks designed for maximum impact.

TH;EN Pavel Petrov Move

Here’s what TH;EN had to say:

⁠”What makes ‘Move’ stand out for me is the combination of the vocals and the groove. They complement each other in a way that gives the track its own character. ⁠I really respect Pavel as both an artist and a producer. He sent me the first idea for ‘Move’ and I immediately felt inspired. I knew how I could build on it. What made it exciting was bringing two different genres together and finding that middle ground that works for both of us.”

Pavel Petrov added: “I would say the low end of the track hits perfectly on every sound system – either a club or a big stage festival. In a world full of artists with ghost producers behind them, I believe I can recognize a good producer even online. Enzo is a great example of that, which is why I asked him to collab on a beat of mine I still had no idea how to arrange. He did an amazing job, and I’m sure we’ll collaborate again in the near future.”

Faul & Wad, MËSTIZA, & Martina Camargo present ‘Tambora’ on Tomorrowland Music

French duo Faul & Wad join forces with Spanish innovators MËSTIZA and Latin Grammy-nominee Martina Camargo for ‘Tambora’, a vibrant Latin House record. Set for a joint release on Virgin Records and Tomorrowland Music, the single leans on Spanish guitar and shuffling drums to capture the magic of summer in a bottle. The heat is on, as ‘Tambora’ is officially out now on streaming services everywhere.

Tambora‘ drives forward with a purring bassline and percussion that brims with rhythmic variety and rich textures, steering clear of tech-house’s overused formulas. Martina Camargo‘s vocals shine with precision and soul, carrying the weight of her Afro-Colombian heritage straight into the club. The result is a crisp, finely tuned collaboration where every detail breathes, giving dancers the complete space to enjoy.

The song ‘Tambora‘ uses the metaphor of a drumbeat to express both the emotional struggles of life and the ancestral tradition of Tambora, which originate from the Afro-Colombian Caribbean.

More than just a drum, ‘Tambora‘ music represents the weight of identity, resistance, and ancestral memory for rural communities. This song demonstrates how music can heal us, help us reconnect, and allow us to fall in love with life once again.

For Faul & Wad, ‘Tambora‘ continues a creative run that stretches from the global breakthrough of ‘Changes‘ to recent heavy-hitters like ‘Sauti‘ and their 2025 LP Therapy.

MËSTIZA bring the flamenco firepower to the release, sharpened in their revered live sets and recent tracks like ‘El Homenaje‘ and ‘Rintintin‘. This track is deeply rooted in the Tambora tradition that Martina Camargo has represented internationally for decades.

While her artistry has gained her recognitions like the Latin Grammy nomination, her commitment to the ecological defense of life continues to inspire global audiences.

This December, the tropical paradise of Bali once again becomes the epicenter of global dance culture as Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) returns to the iconic GWK Cultural Park.

Set beneath the towering Garuda statue and surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and panoramic ocean views, GWK offers one of the most breathtaking festival settings in the world.

Blending natural beauty with spiritual energy, the venue transforms into a cultural sanctuary where music, art, and community converge. Djakarta Warehouse Project 2025 promises an edition that transcends the ordinary festival experience — a journey into music, connection, and paradise.

At the heart of this year’s return is a massive Phase One lineup featuring some of the most iconic and exciting names in electronic music.

Calvin Harris returns to the DWP stage for the first time in six years, bringing his record-breaking catalog of dancefloor anthems and chart-dominating hits, while Charlotte de Witte – the reigning queen of techno – makes her DWP debut with a commanding set fresh off the release of her first full-length album.

FISHER, back by overwhelming demand, delivers his only Southeast Asia performance of 2025 with a set that promises high-octane tech-house chaos and French tastemaker HUGEL brings his global Latin house energy to DWP for the first time, following the explosive success of ‘Morenita’ and ‘Adore You’.

Genre-defying GRAMMY winner, Skrillex, returns with a set that blends underground grit, legacy sounds and modern experimentation, and rounding off the phase one lineup, Steve Angello – founding member of Swedish House Mafia – steps into the spotlight solo to showcase his signature progressive style and timeless influence.

Joining these headliners is a dynamic mix of international and regional talent:
A rare DubVision b2b Matisse & Sadko b2b Third Party set – the first-ever triple back-to-back in Indonesia, uniting three powerhouses of progressive house.

Slovakian trance leader Nifra, brings her mainstage-ready fusion of trance, rave and techno. Japanese underground visionary ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, known for his fearless, genre-defying sets at Hör Berlin, Berghain and beyond and trance legend Paul van Dyk, one of the most celebrated figures in electronic music history. Breakout melodic talent Cyril, fresh from a global viral run and a new single with James Blunt. Indonesia’s own Dipha Barus and Whisnu Santika, two trailblazers who continue to elevate Southeast Asia’s homegrown scene.

More artists will be announced in the coming months. Follow DWP’s social platforms for updates.

Extending the festival beyond the main event, Djakarta Warehouse Project Bali Music Week offers a full week of programming including beachside pre-parties, wellness sessions, curated takeovers and cultural excursions. Designed to recharge both body and spirit, the week merges Bali’s rich traditions with its globally recognized creative energy.

This is not just a music festival. It’s a cultural pilgrimage. Every DWP edition pushes creative and technical boundaries — and Djakarta Warehouse Project 2025 will be the most ambitious yet.

Expect monumental stage designs inspired by Balinese artistry, cutting-edge visuals, state-of-the-art lighting and pyrotechnics, and immersive experiences that turn GWK into a living, breathing soundscape.

Djakarta Warehouse Project 2025 promises an edition that transcends the ordinary festival experience — a journey into music, connection, and paradise.

Chris Lake drops remix of The Chemical Brothers’ ‘Galvanize’

Chris Lake

Chris Lake has released his highly anticipated remix of The Chemical Brothers’ legendary track Galvanize, marking the 20th anniversary of its original release. Out now on Positiva Records, the remix brings a fresh surge of signature Chris Lake energy to one of electronic music’s most enduring anthems.

Originally released in 2005, Galvanize became a global phenomenon, earning Platinum certifications in the US, UK, and Australia and solidifying The Chemical Brothers’ status as electronic pioneers. Two decades later, Chris Lake, arguably one of the most influential figures in modern house music, takes on the challenge of reinterpreting the track for a new generation of club-goers while carefully preserving its original essence.

Lake’s remix boasts driving basslines and surging percussion that elevates the track into a peak-time weapon for today’s dance floors. A nod to the original’s spirit with a modern twist, the remix captures the iconic Galvanize hook and vocals, while injecting it with the unmistakable Chris Lake sound.

“Remixing a track as iconic as ‘Galvanize’ is no small task,” says Chris Lake. “It’s a song that changed the game when it dropped, so my goal was to honor that legacy while giving it a version that would fit into my own DJ sets and discography. I’m super happy with the balance I managed to strike between the original and my own style.”

With this release, Chris Lake bridges two generations of dance music, breathing new life into one of the most celebrated electronic records of all time. The Chris Lake remix of Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers is out now on Positiva Records.

Solomun unleashes ‘Don’t Give Up’ on Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Solomun

Following a year of showstopping releases from the industry’s top talent, the FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves soundtrack officially ups the ante yet again, this time with a forceful new contribution from one of the industry’s most respected names, Solomun. Titled ‘Don’t Give Up’, the release walks the line between the battlefield and the club with finesse, delivering a tension-filled cut that rewards patience with a hard hitting final act.

Just like the best combos, ‘Don’t Give Up‘ doesn’t hit all at once. It unspools with atmosphere, gradually pulling listeners into its brooding tension, as progressive rhythms and minimal synthwork come together for a masterclass in dynamic restraint.

Built for equal impact in either the club or the chaos of battle, Solomun‘s contribution is a slow burner that culminates in a late-stage payoff that’s both deliberate and perfectly timed.

The release is the next facet in Solomun‘s prolific summer season, bolstered by his Solomun +1 residency at Pacha Ibiza, showstopping sets across Europe’s biggest festivals, and momentous releases like his remix of Empire of the Sun‘s ‘Television‘ and ‘Love Recycled 4‘ (his latest installment in the decade-long series). With ‘Don’t Give Up‘, he leans into a darker, more restrained register, proof that even when he changes pace, Solomun‘s name remains shorthand for quality.

As Solomun adds: “It was a great pleasure to produce this track and to bring it to life with matching visuals during my set at the Sphere in Vegas. For me, it’s always about finding the balance between the perfect sound, the emotion that captures you – and never forgetting that it has to work on the dance floor.”

With each new release, the FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves soundtrack continues to raise the bar, pairing the franchise’s genre-defining gameplay with cutting-edge music from the world’s top electronic artists. Curated by Salvatore Ganacci and already featuring standout contributions from Alok, Alan Walker, ARTBAT, Steve Aoki, and R3HAB, the project honors the legacy of FATAL FURY while pushing its score into uncharted territory.

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.
