Acclaimed Dutch brothers Showtek have dropped their new single ‘Island Boy’, out now via Skink Records.

The second single is taken from Showtek‘s hotly anticipated ‘EDM Sucks/Island Boy‘ EP. ‘Island Boy‘ is an exotic collaboration with Russian duo Dropgun that deploys steel drums, anthemic horns and the Patois vocals of dancehall artists Elephant Man and GC (Gate Citizens). It follows on from the release of bass-heavy ‘EDM Sucks‘, a high-octane collaboration with UK hardcore legend Gammer.

One of the biggest acts in dance music, Showtek have dominated the international music industry with their melody-powered hooks, beat-heavy songs, memorable anthems and high-energy performances. Cementing their reputation as one of dance music’s most prominent double acts, they boast an impressive collection of accolades, including Best European DJ and Producer, Best Track, Best Artist Album, Beatport Music Award for Best Selling Track, and six Beatport #1s.

Garnering global support on hit releases ‘Your Love’, ‘Sun Goes Down’ and ‘Believer‘, which racked up over 200 million streams on Spotify collectively, Showtek have further established themselves as one of dance music’s most successful production duos, with their collaboration list including names like Moby, Major Lazer, Tiesto and Hardwell.

Showcasing the duo’s musical diversity, ‘Island Boy‘ pairs Showtek‘s trademark EDM sound with some irresistibly sunkissed dancehall.

Oliver Heldens remixes Y2K & bbno$’s smash hit ‘Lalala’

Oliver Heldens

With over 850 million cumulative streams, Y2K and bbno$’ infectious ‘Lalala’ has been one of the year’s big breakthrough hits. Charting Top 10 at pop around the world, it has become inescapable, and now gets a huge house rework from the master that is Oliver Heldens.

Cleverly switching between the hip-hop rhythm of the original and his pumping house style, Heldens has delivered a seriously infectious remix here. The low end is amped up to the fullest, with his rubbery bassline wobbling atop his typically snappy house beats.

A raw, detuned electro synth riff mimics the guitar line of the original, and with careful use of FX to increase the vocal intensity, he completes a powerful patchwork of sound. The remix has been teased in many of Helden‘s live shows in recent months, and the reactions have been suitably huge.

‘Lalala‘ is a collaboration between American producer Y2K and Canadian rapper bbno$. It’s recently had a massive remix version featuring Enrique Iglesias and Carly Rae Jepsen, but this an essential remix for the clubs.

“We were looking for one heavy hitting dance version and we definitely got that. Oliver has one of the most impressive discographies of any house producer & I couldn’t be more excited/honored to have him remix Lalala”, says Y2K.

Oliver Heldens commented on release saying:

“When I was approached to remix ‘Lalala’ I knew straight away a House remix could work really well. On this remix, I went back a little bit to my 2014 Future House sound, which goes really well with that catchy melody of the original. I’m very happy how this turned out and it’s been going off in my sets! Hope you like it too!”

The new remix comes after Heldens latest single ‘Turn Me On‘ has topped charts around the world. Currently sitting at #9 on the UK Official Top 40 Chart, the record has amassed over 21 million streams globally in 6 weeks since its release. Placing #7 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ poll this year, the Dutch superstar continues to raise the bar as one of the leading DJ/producers in the game.

Sofi Tukker release remix of Laurent Wolf’s classic ‘No Stress’

SOFI TUKKER

SOFI TUKKER have shared their remix of Laurent Wolf’s dancefloor classic ‘No Stress’ featuring Eric Carter, released on Armada Music. The group’s version infuses urgency into the track, letting the impassioned vocal be the focus at times and simmering a dark groove until it explodes with distorted synths and the chill-inducing hook.

The French producer’s original was an international hit in 2008 and had a formative impact on Tucker Halpern, one half of SOFI TUKKER.

“When I first fell in love with dance music and started to learn how to DJ, I remember the first-ever playlist I made and ‘No Stress’ was on it. I remember being so excited to play it in my first-ever set, and it went OFF.

Right when the piano chords started, the room erupted; it is one of those moments that I can recall exactly, the room and the faces of my classmates singing every word! This song had a major impact on my love for DJing and the power of dance music.

I actually went home and made my first bootleg remix of the song in my dorm room, and the next night it was the first semi-original thing I ever tested out in front of people. When the opportunity arose to officially remix it this year, I was beyond hyped.

It was really fun to make because I love the original so much. We didn’t want to take out too much, but we wanted to make it really hit and be able to play it in any sort of set. We’re so happy with how this turned out, and haven’t played a set in the last few months without it. It is a highlight every single time.”

SOFI TUKKER just wrapped up the U.S. leg of their R.I.P Shame World Tour with a rapturous, sold-out show at NYC’s Avant Gardner to celebrate the release of their new EP, ‘Dancing On The People’.

The EP is a collection of songs in English, Portuguese, and Spanish that expand SOFI TUKKER’s global and inclusive vision of dance music with songs full of adventurous ideas and joy.

The R.I.P. Shame World Tour hits Mexico City on November 17 before the European leg begins.

Vini Vici, Jean Marie and Highlight Tribe are each in no need of an introduction. They all bring an impressive resume of releases, performances, and excitement whenever they release a new track. Together, these three artists are a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned with.

The guys created an incredible arrangement to make “Moyoni” a three and a half minute journey that you’ll want to repeat over and over again.

Vini Vici and Jean Marie have previously collaborated on “Gaia”, which came out a year ago and successfully rocked festival grounds all over the world since. “Moyoni” is the natural follow up of “Great Spirit” from Vivi Vici and Highlight Tribe and does not fail to impress.

Not stopping there, Camelphat sold out their recent headline UK tour across 5 venues selling almost 55,000 tickets. The tour included the iconic Brixton Academy which sold out 6 months in advance and Bramley Moore Dock, Liverpool which was the quickest event to sell out in the history of the venue.

Markus Schulz & HALIENE

With ‘Ave Maria’, Markus Schulz has given clubland a track unlike any other in 2019. From its premiere moment on – peak-set at Ultra Miami in March, ‘Ave’ held its heat throughout the summer and onto its late August release.
