Adam Beyer and Green Velvet’s ‘Simulator’ gets a trio of fresh remixes

Adam Beyer and Green Velvet’s behemoth co-production ‘Simulator’ gets a trio of fresh remixes.

Something special happens with Beyer collaborates with Curtis Jones aka Green Velvet, with last year’s ‘Simulator‘ a timely reminder of their musical synergy, following the 2019 classic ‘Space Date‘ with Layton Giordani.

A year on from its release, Drumcode treats us to three contrasting interpretations that epitomize the sonic breadth of the label in 2024. Emerging Australian artist Odd Mobb is first up, whose music has been championed by the likes of Fred Everything and Skrillex.

He brings the energy throughout the four-minute rework, amplifying all the low-end elements, while adding fresh bursts of colour. It’s a dynamic reinterpretation that will keep listeners on their feet.

Mha Iri is next, having established herself as one of Drumcode‘s most vital go-to producers in recent times. The Scottish artist turns in a blazing masterclass, taking the nasty bass stabs of the original and utilizing them as thunderous motifs throughout her remix, as she brings intensity in spades with plenty of thrilling builds and drops along the way.

Chris Avantgarde, whose contributions to Drumcode have so far comprised an outstanding collab with Kevin de VriesMind Control‘ and an A-Sides contribution ‘The Last Time‘, returns with the goods and lives up to his boundary-pushing pseudonym.

This has more sides than a Rubik’s cube and shows the German’s sound design class, encompassing elements of breaks, bass, electronica, techno and trance, yet still manages not to sound like anything else out there.

Listen to the remixes below.

Gordo Announces Debut Album ‘DIAMANTE’

After much anticipation, Grammy-nominated electronic music crossover DJ and producer GORDO announces his debut studio album ‘DIAMANTE’.

“It’s the most emotional project I’ve worked on in my life,” says GORDO about the album, which has been in the works for over five years and is named after himself. “It features work from artists I’ve looked up to and artists who inspire me, some I’ve known for years and others I’ve met more recently”. The tracklist is yet to be revealed; however, GORDO recently teased several tracks in his exclusive Keinemusik Radio Show guest mix.

DIAMANTE‘, an album dedicated to GORDO‘s family, friends and loved ones, celebrates his journey to freedom, which comes after three transformative years for Blackmon, where he saw himself retire his previous moniker ‘Carnage‘ and take over the world with the infectious sound of GORDO.

When known as Carnage, Blackmon cemented his legacy as an iconic producer with numerous generational hits. Among his top records are “Bricks” ft. Migos, a major hit in hip-hop and dance, “I Like Tuh” in collaboration with ILoveMakonnen which became a festival staple, and “Learn How to Watch” ft. Mac Miller and MadeinTYO which showcased his versatility. During this time, Blackmon proved himself as not just an extraordinary producer, but a world-class curator capable of identifying prominent talents.

GORDO Diamante

Since the launch of GORDO, he has received a Grammy nomination, topped Billboard’s Hot 100 Producers chart, been crowned #1 Hispanic DJ in the world by DJ Mag, released tracks with the likes of Maluma, El Alfa, Feid, Nicki Nicole, Adriatique, and The Martinez Brothers, and produced for the likes of Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, Nicki Minaj, and long-time friend Drake, for whom he contributed to six tracks on the house music-infused album ‘Honestly, Nevermind‘ and two on the Canadian artist’s latest album ‘For All The Dogs‘, including ‘Rich Baby Daddy‘.

In a short span of time, GORDO has performed on the world’s biggest stages, from Tomorrowland Belgium to Brooklyn Mirage, Coachella, Muete Beach in Buenos Aires, Pacha Ibiza, and The Loft in Amsterdam. He led the largest South American DJ tour ever and fostered a dedicated community with his raw and authentic ‘TARAKA‘ events, touring 25 Latin American cities in 15 different countries.

Known for uniquely blending genres and pushing musical boundaries, GORDO‘s ‘DIAMANTE‘ promises a fusion of creativity that could redefine contemporary music and set a new standard for electronic dance music. The album’s set to merge mainstream appeal with GORDO’s avant-garde artistry, creating a landmark album in today’s music landscape.

Here’s what GORDO had to say about the album:

“This album embodies all my different tastes and personalities, from what I listen to, to what I play live, who I am as an artist, but most importantly, who Diamante is. It’s my most personal work to date and comes from a place of love and authenticity.

Most of the album’s production was done at home in Hawaii. I would produce until 6 PM, then I’d take a break, sit on my terrace, and watch the sunset while listening to the album and taking it all in. It’s an album you can listen to at home and at a 5 AM rave; it can be the pinnacle of your night or the perfect come-down after a long day. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.” 

The 15-track album, set to release on July 26th, features an impressive lineup of collaborators from across the musical spectrum, promising to unite listeners from all corners of the music world.

Mr. Belt & Wezol are making their debut on Tomorrowland Music with ‘D.R.A.M.A.’

The Netherlands’ most viral and hottest property Mr. Belt & Wezol are making their debut on Tomorrowland’s imprint Tomorrowland Music with their new catchy single ‘D.R.A.M.A.’, 

While the Dutch duo have been making absolute waves with their viral chart-topping version of Whitney Houston‘s iconic ‘It’s Not Right But It’s Okay‘, Mr. Belt & Wezol have now joined forces with UK producer duo NuKey and Spanish artist Jose De Mara for another tantalizing and captivating production – the perfect soundtrack to their upcoming Tomorrowland performance on Friday July 26.

Here’s what Mr. Belt & Wezol had to say about the release:

“We’ve always had close contact with the NuKey guys, they often shared stuff they were working on. Now they had this draft project with a vocal by Hannah Boleyn, together with Jose De Mara.

Mr. Belt & Wezol
Mr. Belt & Wezol – D.R.A.M.A

We absolutely loved it and wanted to start working on it right away. A few versions later the final track was finished. We think the theme of the vocal, that there’s going to be some ‘drama’, fits perfectly with the darkness of the track. As if the drops are the drama she’s causing in musical form.”

Speaking about the collaboration Jose De Mara said:

“I’m really excited about this release. I think it’s one of those special tracks that grabs your attention the first time you hear it, with a vocal that perfectly captures the essence of Tomorrowland.

Gregor Tresher Remixes ADRIANNA’s ‘Wild Electric’

Gregor Tresher

Acclaimed German DJ and producer Gregor Tresher has unveiled a mighty remix of ADRIANNA’s most recent techno sizzler, ‘Wild Electric’ via Temple House Music.

The song received early support from notable electronic media group 6AM. Gregor Tresher has cemented his place as a luminary in electronic music. Beginning his career as a DJ in Frankfurt in the ’90s, he is now a global presence, performing everywhere from Berlin to Tokyo and Sydney to Los Angeles.

He gained recognition with acclaimed albums under his Sniper Mode alias before breaking through with releases like ‘Still‘ and ‘Neon‘ in 2005. His 2008 hit ‘A Thousand Nights‘ topped Beatport’s Techno charts, expanding his audience significantly. Tresher‘s music is characterized by intricate patterns that unfold gradually, avoiding typical loops.

Gregor Tresher
ADRIANNA – Wild Electric ( Gregor Tresher remix )

He also incorporates vintage machines, adding a subtle, organic touch to his sound. He has remixed Depeche Mode, Laurent Garnier, Moby, and Sven Väth, among others. He has released music on labels like Drumcode, Ovum, Intacto, Moon Harbour, and Cocoon Recordings, and launched his record label, Break New Soil which celebrates its 13th anniversary this year with releases dilated for Harvey Mckay, Rico Puestel, Extrawelt, DJ Hell, and many more.

The original track ‘Wild Electric‘, which climbed to #5 in the Beatport charts in the weeks following its release, is a high-octane acid tech odyssey. It features pulsing, distorted rhythms, trippy synth ear candy, acid synth stabs, subtle pop vocal samples and an irresistibly booming four-on-the-floor kick.

Gregor Tresher‘s take on the track has been deftly done, paying homage to ADRIANNA‘s original by retaining key elements (like the hard-hitting four-on-the-floor) while successfully infusing his lighter, more progressive focus on melody and organic timbers. The remix is subtle yet hypnotic; a refreshing reimagining of such a blistering banger.

Gregor Tresher shared: “I really liked the vocals of the original track when I got the remix request, and thought it would be interesting to put them over an instrumental that’s kinda big room/warehouse sounding, so that’s what I aimed for with my remix”.

Listen to the remix below.
