Damian Force is an artist who regularly attracts attention for his releases and has previously topped charts such as Beatport and Billboard Magazine. After having been working on his new conceptual dome show which has now been placed on hold, he has released a brand-new House tune that will have you dancing along instantly.
We caught up with Damian to discuss about his brand new single titled ‘Hot’ and what else he’s been up to this year.
Hi Damian, how have you been during this crazy year?
Despite everything that happens this year, it turned out to be successful for me. I released a “HOT”, managed to do a lot of work for the label and even we made an edition of Damian Force Dome Show.
Tell us about your new release ‘Hot’, what was the inspiration behind it?
I wanted to get away from the standard templates existing on the market. Among the music that matches the mood of this sad year, I wanted to create something that carries a certain message to movement. Amongst sadness and grief, I want life-affirming positive chords.
How would you sum up the release to someone who hasn’t heard it yet?
A mix of gorgeous vocals, a Balkan trumpet and it is impossible not to dance to this track.
Which part of the release is your favourite?
I like everything about it. It turned out to be very organic.
Who would you like to see supporting the release?
Like any musician, of course radio stations.
What was it like working with DOT Dance Recordings?
DOT Dance Recordings is my label, so it’s a pleasure to work for it. But DOT Dance management signed “HOT” release with Warner Music for CIS countries. And now the release is being heard on the largest dance radio station in Russia “Radio Record”.
What other projects are you working on at the moment?
I am preparing new release with amazing vocalist in Pop/SynthPop genre. And of course, my brainchild Damian Force Dome Show. The forecasts of the European authorities about the end of the epidemic at the beginning of 2021 are very encouraging. I really want it to be so. And then the first events of the Show will start.
Finally, where can the people go to grab a copy?
Everywhere/ On all streaming platforms and online stores.
As a tumultuous year draws to a close, Drumcode looks ahead to 2021, cautiously optimistic of a return to the dancefloor. The team behind DC is thrilled to announce Drumcode Festival 2021 Malta, their first 4-day event 16-19 September.

Other anticipated appearances include perennial crowd favourite Monika Kruse, who was a late withdrawal from the 2019 Amsterdam festival due to illness, ANNA who crushed it with a pair of sets at DC Festival in 2019 and popular rising talents Anfisa Letyago, Lilly Palmer and Juliet Fox, all of which make their debuts.
Iconic Dutch producer Steve Rachmad aka Sterac is likewise a welcome debutant, bringing his soulful take on techno to Malta’s sunny climes. La Fleur will take thing in a groovier direction, making a return after featuring at the inaugural festival in Amsterdam in 2018.
Core Drumcode favourites Bart Skils, Layton Giordani, Alan Fitzpatrick, Ida Engberg, Pig&Dan, Joel Mull, Thomas Schumacher, Luigi Madonna, Ilario Alicante, Victor Ruiz and Julian Jeweil are all locked and loaded for the festival.
Outside the regular festival programming, they’ll be taking over the island with boat and hotel parties scheduled throughout the four days, culminating in the most comprehensive and unique Drumcode event to date. Deposits start at 10€ and total price for the festival starts from 289€ including accommodation. It goes without say; this event will sell out.

Please note, this event runs parallel with DrumcodeFestival Amsterdam (which is plotting a return!).
Put two of electronic music’s finest in a studio together and you just know there will be sparks flying in every direction. That’s exactly what transpired between Russian electronic music phenomenon ARTY and Grammy-nominated producer Audien earlier this year, and their collaboration is clearly leaving its mark in the dance music realm.
Today, a little over three months after its release on Armada Music, their track ‘Craving‘ (with Ellee Duke) took the coveted #1 spot in Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.
Following on 2018’s ‘Never Letting Go‘, ARTYand Audien‘s second-ever collab represents the rebuilding of confidence after a break-up, and is easily one of the most colorful collisions of trademark sounds in dance music today. With Ellee Duke‘s crystalline vocals adorning the inspired, super-melodious instrumental that shines and sparkles at every turn, this is exactly the kind of record that will have the global crowd ‘Craving‘ for more.
ARTY: “It’s always very exciting to make new music with Nate because we both know that the songs we do together will be very special for our fans. It’s made for them in the first place. It makes me even more happy that our new song ‘Craving’, which we made purely from our hearts, is now recognized widely in the United States, topping dance radio and making it to #1 in Billboard’s Dance chart! Thanks to all of our fans for your constant support and thanks to Nate, Maykel, George, Harry, Brett and Kyle for making it happen — you’re the best team in the world!”
Audien: “‘Craving’ is that song you listen to when you’re freshly on your own after the end of a hard relationship. We’ve all been there, that toxic feeling of jealousy paired with sporadic bursts of confidence. Quite the rollercoaster. I’m so stoked to see people resonating with this song. Arty and I created this thing so organically and we were so fortunate to be able to work with Ellee Duke; she nailed it. Congrats to the whole team on the #1 Billboard Dance/Airplay position, and I can’t thank all of the stations enough for playing it and showing so much love.”
Ellee Duke: “I’m very thankful and honored to be part of this whole experience with all these awesome peeps. The song is one thing, but it takes a lot of hard work after a great song like this is created to make big things happen. So shouts to each person who worked hard and helped ‘Craving’ reach this milestone. I’m really proud of us all and as cliche as it is, it’s a dream come true.”
