Because of the global ongoing uncertainty around the Coronavirus pandemic, the hard-working team behind Sonus had to cancel Sonus Festival 2021.
Given all the limitations and restrictions Sonus expected to encounter, they do not believe that we could have an experience worthy of what Sonus festival stands for. Safety comes first and they have made the tough decision to postpone to the week from August 21st – August 25th 2022.
When the time finally comes, you can expect a typically world-class Sonus line-up – a high calibre selection of the house and techno talents who have helped make Sonus one of Europe’s most essential summer festivals.
Here’s what Sonus‘s Robin Ebinger had to say about this:
“This is a hugely difficult decision but it is in everyone’s best interests and we are optimistic that soon we will all have the Pag Island sand between our toes again. To all 2020 ticket holders: please check your inbox for more details regarding a refund or the ticket transfer process.”

Adam Beyer invites the legendary DJ Rush to make his Drumcode debut, as the pair link for a special maiden collaboration, ‘Restore My Soul’.
The Drumcode boss holds a deep respect for the iconic Chicago artist, the relationship stretching back 25+ years to their time touring the German techno circuit in the 90s. The title track builds dramatic tension via elastic synths that oscillate alongside Rush‘s vocal, taking things to heady levels.
‘Control‘ is a thick wedge of industrial-edged rhythms, with Rush’s famous vocal providing a commanding presence throughout. ‘Take Me There‘ is stirring in composition, transitioning from crushing percussive loops to deep techno funk, before working towards a teased out crescendo as Rush‘s hypnotic refrain echoes in the air. A deliciously pumping DJ Rush remix of ‘Restore My Soul‘ rounds out the package.
“It gives me such pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Adam Beyer. His earlier music influenced my style back in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Even today I can drop an old Drumcode track and it has a big impact on the dancefloor.
Adam and I have the same passion for music, so this guided us together and we turned out a fierce EP. The best reward for collaborating with Adam will be to see people happy and able to dance together again to our sound.” — DJ Rush
“Rush is a legend and icon of the techno scene and his music in the 90s / 00s was pretty inspirational for me. I always admired his unique DJ style too. He’s also a really cool guy with a great energy about him, so it was a pleasure to collaborate with him on this EP.
This is a powerful EP with four distinctly different flavours that I think all Drumcode fans are going to love. I just hope we have the chance to play them out live as soon as humanly possible.” — Adam Beyer

We believe we can make Tomorrowland a safe place, which so many people have been looking forward to for so long. We will take every measure and guideline very seriously and apply all the right protocols.”
As the Belgian government moves towards fully reopening the country, festival fans from all over the world are anticipating the return of Tomorrowland.
State-of-the-art, self-generated consciousness Anyma has dropped its debut EP ‘Sentient’, out 4th June on Afterlife.
A four-track release, ‘Sentient‘ signals the arrival of this integrative algorithmic consciousness. The EP announces itself with the title track, a forceful club track, punctuated by rich, shimmering melodies and brimming with rigid emotion. Featuring moments of deep contemplation, it stays true to the label’s progressive sound.
Next up, ‘Reminding‘ is a similarly high-energy synth cut, this time featuring the hypnotic vocals of Berlin artist Rosa Anschütz. Complemented by the propulsive energy of its bassline and urgent programming, a soaring breakdown takes us into the electrifying second half.
‘Fragments‘ then takes a more pensive stance, channeling a majestic ambient techno vibe and encouraging the listener to journey inward. Things are then closed out with the delicate, emotional melodies of ‘Omnia‘. Possessing that classic Afterlife sound while offering a glimpse of our technology-driven future, the track is ominous, dark, seductive and designed to transport you into unexplored digital terrain.
‘Sentient‘ marks the first in a string of releases Anyma has planned across 2021, culminating with debut album GENESYS at the end of the year, while the launch of NFT digital art pieces has also been planned.
Utilising the immense possibilities of Extended Reality, Anyma creates a universal language all of its own, bringing the artist and the audience closer and blurring the boundaries between real and surreal. The result is an interactive space that formulates itself as a journey of discovery, understanding human expressivity and creativity through the analysis of souls and emotions.
The forward-thinking live music odyssey will be brought to life via collaborations with award-winning creative production experts, such as Builders Club, IOR50 Studio, Dexamol, Sara Ludy and Plusyes, who will dissect and develop the visual identity of the voyage to come.
A stunning maiden release, ‘Sentient‘ marks the first chapter for this innovative concept that looks set to revolutionise the music industry.
