Eelke Kleijn drops ‘The Hierophant’, the second track of his highly anticipated album

Superstar Dutch DJ and producer Eelke Kleijn drops the second track of his highly anticipated fourth studio album out on September 25th.

Just a month after announcing his comeback with bassline-heavy track ‘The Magician‘, Eelke reveals even more of his genius production skills with ‘The Hierophant‘.

Just after the track starts off a heavy bass kicks in and electrifying snare sounds start spinning around. Melodic and transcending notes come in, revealing a softer side of the production. A drum drop shortly pauses the reeling rhythm, only to kick off the track stronger again. Sharp and structural synths bring the track to an extraordinary whirlwind of sounds, guaranteed to transport the listener into ethereal dimensions.

Eelke Kleijn The Hierophant

The Hierophant for me is a track that was influenced by the 80s vibe and growing up in that era. I especially wanted to write something in major key and I was experimenting with slightly out of tune instruments. I think those pads and the main synth give this track its very recognisable feel” says Eelke.

The Hierophant‘ is part of Eelke Kleijn‘s fourth studio album out on September 25th!

Lee Foss & Anabel Englund team up for a brand new track ‘Warm Disco’

Lee Foss & Anabel Englund

A multi-talented singer-songwriter who has worked with some of the most respected DJs and producers in dance music, Anabel Englund garnered widespread acclaim when she linked up with Jamie Jones and Lee Foss in 2012 to join Hot Natured.

Their single “Reverse Skydiving” amassed over 13.4 million streams on Spotify alone, immediately asserting Englund‘s status as a force to be reckoned with. Earlier this year, Englund teamed up with Foss again as the featured vocalist on “Only The Gods,” his track with UK outfit Disciples. Today (5/22), Foss and Englund come together again for the release of “Warm Disco” on AREA10/Ultra Music.

Clocking in at over six and a half minutes, Lee Foss and Anabel Englund‘s “Warm Disco” pairs the two artists for what they are known best for – Foss’ creative nu-skool house music production and inviting vocals from Englund. It is a sensual track built for late night sets that will get you up and moving from your couch.

Lee Foss has redefined the art of creating house music. In 2008, the Chicago native teamed up with Jamie Jones to kick-start Hot Creations, pioneering a new and unique sound born of its founders’ deep affinity with old disco records and soulful beats. Collaboratively known as Hot Natured, the duo released melodic house music with an extraterrestrial undertone in both their productions and creative direction.

Today, its catalogue boasts productions by some of the most elite names in the industry. Alongside leading Emerald City, the underground house innovator spearheads Repopulate Mars, the world-renowned label and event series that brings together the best names in house and techno.

Anabel Englund recently hit #1 on dance radio charts in the U.S. with AREA10 founder MK and Nightlapse‘s remix of “So Hot.

magdalena

Released today, Hamburg electronic artist and the figure-head behind one of Ibiza’s widely popular event series, Magdalena, unveils her new remix of Brlee’s ‘Visions’.

Arguably one of the Slovenian artist’s most renowned tracks, ‘Visions‘ was originally released in 2016 as part of the ‘Visions / Reality‘ EP project. Amassing support from both key industry figures and artists alike, ‘Visions‘ is also the title track from Brlee’s anticipated upcoming album – set for release in June.

Much like many industry peers, the original track has regularly found its way into Magdalena‘s sets time and time again. After a short exchange between both artists, Magdalena‘s own take on ‘Visions‘ was put into motion, transforming the track into a hypnotic remix, more than fitting for dimly-lit clubs, festival stages and dusky-Ibizan sunsets.

Brlee – Visions ( Magdalena Remix )

With releases spanning a host of esteemed labels from Anjunadeep, Diynamic, Knee Deep In Sound and many more, Magdalena continues to re-affirm herself as one of the underground’s most innovative names.

From working alongside Solomun and Adriano Trolio to open the Hamburg venue ‘EGO‘, to inviting industry heavy-weights Miss Kittin, Anja Schneider, Nicole Moudaber just to name a few, to her ‘SHADOWS‘ event series at Ibiza‘s Cova Santa, Magdalena will continue her unstoppable trajectory across the new decade, starting with today’s release of the ‘Visions‘ remix.

Reinier Zonneveld will premiere 14 new tracks during unique livestream on May 27

Reinier Zonneveld

Dutch techno giant Reinier Zonneveld will do an exceptional livestream from his own sunny roof terrace with a stunning view over Amsterdam. What makes the livestream even more special, is that Reinier will perform a lot of long anticipated brand-new music live.

While being in lockdown, he has used the time to get creative in the studio. Reinier says:

As I usually am touring around the world from gig to gig, and now being confined at home for such a long period, it meant there were certain different approaches in my creative process.

Usually I used to get my inspiration from performances and travels that I just experienced and now I had to imagine the dancefloor or get my inspiration from different sources. It also gave me the opportunity to work more in depth and experiment more with the hardware and synths I’ve got in my studio, simply because now I had the time to do it, instead of composing new music on the plane.

Reinier Zonneveld Livestream

One of the tracks that will pass by is Reinier‘s upcoming remix of the acclaimed classic ‘The First Rebirth‘ by Jones & Stephenson, which will be out next month on his own label Filth On Acid in cooperation with the iconic Bonzai Records.

Superstar DJ and producer, David Guetta will host a live stream performance at New York City’s most iconic, undisclosed location on May 30th.

Fans can now register to join the stream online in video-chat rooms. United At Home, conceived and co-produced by the Charity Guys and sponsored by Major League Soccer and Heineken, aims to put a smile on the faces of New York and the rest of the world through the power of music. The presenting sponsors Major League Soccer and Heineken will match part of the donations made during the stream.

After the smashing success of United At Home in Miami, which raised more than $750,000 USD for COVID-19 relief charities and drew more than 25 million viewers, David Guetta will host a live stream performance in New York on May 30th to raise spirits and money for the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, Feeding America, the World Health Organization, and Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris – Hôpitaux de France.

David Guetta United From Home

Guetta‘s performance will be at New York City’s most iconic location, to be revealed during his set. United From Home will begin after New York’s “daily clap” for frontline and healthcare workers at 7:00 pm (EST), and can be viewed live on social media through the DJ’s Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, VK and TikTok channels or global fans are invited to join via online rooms.

The stream will feature guest appearances from City First Responders along with other special surprise guests. New Yorkers are encouraged to join David Guetta‘s global audience and watch this performance safely from home. Moreover, the set can only be enjoyed online; it will not be amplified.

‘I’m excited to announce I will host another live stream to raise money for charity and help battle the virus’, says David Guetta.

‘New York is one of my favorite cities and it’s an honor to be able to do something to help the city during this difficult time. We’re planning something special that can be enjoyed from homes around the world. As a DJ, the crowd is the most important part of any show and even though we can’t be together in a club or at a festival, we can use this time to come together in new ways and help those who need it most‘ he added.

“Our city’s healthcare workers are first responders in the fight against coronavirus. As New Yorkers have stepped back and stayed home, our doctors, nurses and hospital staff have stepped forward to work around the clock to save lives,”said First Lady Chirlane McCray. “I thank David Guetta for his partnership to help the city continue to raise funds for PPE and other critical supplies to protect our healthcare heroes during this public health crisis.

David Guetta’s concert is a wonderful demonstration of the solidarity of France and the French community with New York City in these challenging times”, said The French Consul in NYC. “We are immensely grateful to healthcare and essential workers and the only way out of the crisis is through more International cooperation. David Guetta’s generosity in conveying this message is a powerful sign of hope.

Funds raised by the performance will be donated to the following organizations:

● The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, chaired by First Lady Chirlane McCray, is NYC’s official fundraising arm for COVID-19 relief and is working every day to support vulnerable populations including frontline health care workers and essential staff, immigrant communities, domestic violence survivors, and others. Guetta’s United At Home initiative will also continue to benefit.
● Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization;
● Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris – Hôpitaux de France, whose mission is to improve the conditions of healthcare works and patients in hospitals across France; and
● The World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which is ensuring frontline workers are equipped with essential protective wear, patients are receiving proper care, and efforts to develop vaccines, tests, and treatments are accelerated.

On April 18th, David Guetta lit up the blue-turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay of Downtown Miami, playing for 8000 thousand locals who danced on from their balconies. In front of a 205-feet pool at the Icon Brickell in Downtown Miami, the iconic French artist played a 1.5 hours set packed with feel-good music which has now been viewed more than 25 million times (watch, here) and has raised over $750,000 USD including a $300,000 USD personal contribution from the DJ. The donation channels remain open for Feeding South Florida, Feeding America, World Health Organization and FondationHôpitaux de Paris – Hôpitaux de France and donations are still welcome via davidguetta.com/donate.
