Insomniac has unleashed the lineup for Escape Psycho Circus 2025, returning to the NOS Events Center this Halloween Weekend for two nights of music, mayhem, and new surprises on October 31 and November 1.

This year, the festival plunges into madness with the return of its famed “Psycho Circus” theme, transforming the grounds into a twisted carnival of sound and spectacle. For its 2025 edition, Escape Psycho Circus will welcome a hauntingly vast lineup of over 90 globally renowned artists across 5+ immersive stages, including the debut of a brand new main stage that will redefine the heart of the festival’s production.

Escape Psycho Circus’ 2025 lineup is led by an array of dance music’s most electrifying forces, featuring a superstar back to back pairing of global hitmakers Marshmello B2B DJ Snake, melodic powerhouses Alesso and Dimitri Vegas who each bring a deep catalog of festival anthems, trap and bass visionary RL Grime who will showcase his label for a Sable Valley Takeover alongside an individual set, genre defying innovator Porter Robinson (DJ Set), dance music architect deadmau5, and a back to back electro-house masterclass from KSHMR B2B R3HAB.

For those drawn to the darker, heavier end of the sonic spectrum, Escape Psycho Circus’ 2025 lineup plunges into full-throttle bass with an earth-shattering NGHTMRE B2B Peekaboo set, alongside hardcore legend Angerfist, a rare and high intensity San Holo (Wholesome Riddim Set), the signature dystopian spectacle of Black Tiger Sex Machine, high-octane disruptor Kayzo, dubstep talent Ray Volpe, new school bass riser Jessica Audiffred, the mind melting sounds of Virtual Riot, and a B2B from the multifaceted ROSSY B2B Pauline Herr.

House-driven sounds take center stage with star Brazilian sensation Vintage Culture, Latin-infused dance floor shaker Deorro, globe trotting tastemakers The Martinez Brothers, bass heavy Terminal Underground boss Matroda, energetic UK export Chris Lorenzo, boundary pushing duo Walker & Royce, and the dynamic bass house fusion of SIDEPIECE.

Techno purists will be pulled deep into the underground by Belgian powerhouse Amelie Lens, a standout pairing of dark techno icons Nicole Moudaber B2B Ilario Alicante, meteoric fan favorite Eli Brown, enigmatic Berlin producer Alignment, the hypnotic melodies of Korolova, German heavyweight Klangkuenstler, and the raw uncompromising styles of Berlin’s Dax J B2B SPFDJ.

The sinisterly stacked billing is rounded out by cinematic trap and future bass productions of What So Not, versatile trap and hip-hop blending stalwart TroyBoi, future riddim experimentalists Wavedash, progressive house virtuoso Audien, and soaring melodic bass artist Gryffin.

This year, Escape Psycho Circus invites its fans – aka Headliners – into a sprawling, fully immersive world where the journey descends into the twisted depths of a nightmarish realm of interactive spaces and surreal encounters. Among the chaos lurks the Ringmaster’s Troupe, a haunting ensemble of roaming performers who breathe life into every corner of the grounds.

Towering art installations, neon-drenched environments, and explosive displays of fire, light, and sound transform the festival into a living, breathing fever dream. At the heart of the madness lies Crazy Town – a strange and spellbinding hub charged with supernatural energy. Here, Headliners can sip cursed cocktails at Poison Ivy, pick up grotesque goods from The Butcher, or settle in to witness the spine-tingling spectacle of the Fire Organ.

Tomorrowland x Ridley present two carbon road bikes

The iconic collaboration between Ridley and Tomorrowland continues with the launch of a unique Tomorrowland edition of Ridley’s high-end aero bikes the Noah Fast and Noah. Fully custom-designed in an eye-catching white and a magical, one of a kind, holographic-prismatic finish, both models reflect the spirit of exploring the world together.

Available as a complete bike with a matching (oil slick/dark purple) chain or as a frameset (FFS). Each bike can also be fully personalized via the Ridley configurator—letting riders choose their own wheels, tires, cockpit, groupset and saddle for a ride that’s truly their own. In other words, the unique magic of Tomorrowland x Ridley, tailored to your own performance needs.

Not just another glittery paintjob.

Most striking about the bikes is the custom-developed holographic-prismatic finish, created exclusively for this collaboration in Ridley‘s Belgian paint shop. In the spirit of Invenio, this newly developed paint-technology brings together, two styles never before combined on commercially available road bikes.

Depending on how the bike catches and reflects the light, it shows a different side of itself. The holographic paint job expresses itself in the base layers of the bike, fluctuating ever so smoothly from dark purple, to warm blue, to vibrant pink and all combinations in between.

On top of this, a bespoke prismatic finish, specially tailored to the holographic base, brings a subtle spark to the bike, only to reveal its full color when struck by bright light, showcasing rainbow-style oil slick patterns throughout. This unique combination makes the bike feel as were it alive, constantly changing in appearance, both in and out of the sunlight.

Pair all of that with a clean and pure white base, featuring a Ridley and a Invenio touch in brushed silver, topped of with Tomorrowland inspired details, creating to a true piece of art. This handcrafted design is born of the collaboration of the two design studios and reflects the creativity and attention to detail that defines both Ridley and Tomorrowland.

High-end carbon & electronic shifting

The Noah shares the same geometry and characteristics as Ridley‘s Noah Fast but with a different carbon lay-up, to make it accessible to a wider audience. With Vittoria tires, DT Swiss wheels and assembled with a Shimano 105 DI2 2×12 groupset, the bike is available for €4.999.

The Noah Fast is based on Ridley‘s most successful and fastest bike ever. At a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, the Noah Fast is 8.5 watts faster than its predecessor. This highlights Ridley’s deep-rooted commitment to aerodynamics, continuing their rich legacy!

No wonder this is the bike-of-choice for the pro team Uno-X Mobility. With Continental tires, DT Swiss wheels and assembled with a SRAM Force AXS 2×12 groupset, this top of the range bike is available for €9.299.

The origin of INVENIO

Tomorrowland and Ridley are two of a kind, pioneers from Belgium, the beating heart of festival and cycling culture. In the Summer of 2024, they presented INVENIO: a collaboration designed to empower people around the world to unite and explore the world together across all terrains.

INVENIO literally translates from Latin into “I discover”, “I find”, “I come upon”, which perfectly describes what the collaboration of Tomorrowland and Ridley embodies. It’s about experiencing true freedom, embracing exploration and sharing moments of friendship and adventure.

Last year, two gravel bikes were brought to life through this unique partnership. Earlier this year, the range was expanded with two new groupsets, along with the launch of a bespoke cycling wear collection and cycling glasses.

Massuma breaks the internet with debut single ‘Contesto’ on VOD

Massuma

The groovy Afro house track was released on Keinemusik’s label VOD and has already gained support from Carlita, Amémé, Shimza and many more.

London-based DJ Massuma, formerly known as Sam Savage, makes a standout debut with Contesto, a groovy Afro house single created with DOSAMIS. The track first caught fire in the summer of 2024 as an unnamed ID, lighting up dancefloors and circulating on reels with the comment section blowing up with requests for the track ID.

Officially released on July 4 via Keinemusik‘s label VOD, Contesto wasted no time racking up over 1 million streams, topping Instagram’s trending audio, hitting #2 on the Beatport Afro House chart, and reaching #6 on the main chart.

Played out by heavyweights like Keinemusik, Carlita, Amémé, Mont Rouge, Shimza, and MoBlack, Contesto has become one of the most talked-about tracks in the Afro house space this summer.

Before stepping into the Afro house world as Massuma, he made his mark under the name Sam Savage, spinning for hip hop icons like A$AP Rocky, Future, and Travis Scott. Now based in London and reintroducing himself with a fresh creative identity, Massuma channels that same energy into deeper, more groove-driven territory.

His debut single Contesto captures that shift with a percussive, and undeniably infectious sound, offering a first look at an artist in the midst of reinvention.

Rounding out the package is ‘Supernatural’, a more hypnotic, acid-drenched excursion that blurs the lines between house and melodic techno, offering a moment of atmospheric release without losing the EP’s driving momentum.

Originally launched in the mid-2010s and reignited earlier this year in the midst of a brief hiatus from their main Booka Shade project, YARUBA has emerged as a newly energized creative outlet for the German duo.

Where ‘EP Three’ reintroduced fans to slick floor-focused productions that first defined the alias, ‘EP Four’ pushes that vision further, showcasing the pair’s enduring knack for forward-thinking dancefloor innovation with a renewed creative spark.

Legendary techno duo Pan-Pot have announced the launch of the label and event brand HUMAN, which followed with two seminal releases ‘AERO’ and ‘Nightcode’. Looking ahead to August, the Berlin artists will perform at the official Street Parade Afterparade (9th August), Cologne (KESSEL on 17th August), and Los Angeles (Venue TBA on 22nd August).

As the world eagerly anticipates the return of the iconic Street Parade – the duo will have an active dual role in shaping this year’s experience: curating the official anthem ‘OPERA‘, and launching the new event series HUMAN as the official afterparty.

With over 1.2 million techno lovers expected to flood Zurich’s streets for the world’s largest celebration of electronic music, Pan-Pot will release the anthem that promises to define this monumental gathering.

Titled “OPERA (Street Parade Anthem)”, the track blends cinematic grandeur with Pan-Pot’s signature driving techno energy — a sonic embodiment of the parade’s spirit of unity, freedom, and euphoria.

David Guetta Drops Two Remixes Of ‘A Better World’

David Guetta and Cedric Gervais’s latest hit, ‘A Better World’, gets a fresh spin with two remixes: one from Brazilian hitmaker Kiko Franco, and another from Gervais himself, teaming up with Miami-based DJ, producer, and label boss Alexander Orue.

The new versions arrive off the back of impressive momentum for the original, which has already racked up 10 million global streams (including 1.7 million in the UK), earned spots on BBC Radio 1’s A List and the Kiss playlist, #1 Music Week Pop Chart, reached #90 on the UK airplay chart with over 400 spins, and generated 5 million TikTok views.

Further spotlighting the original’s soaring vocal, inspired by Jackie Moore‘s poignant 70s soul classic of the same name, Cedric Gervais and Alexander Orue rework the track into a main stage, festival-ready anthem, amplifying its emotional core with dramatic, gargantuan synths.

Kiko Franco takes a more leftfield route, reshaping the bassline into a smooth, gliding groove and reimagining the melody through flurries of jazzy piano and a riotous, organ-led second drop, resulting in pure dancefloor chaos.

These two high-impact remixes of ‘A Better World‘ are out now on Atlantic Records, marking another peak moment in a landmark year for two of French dance music’s most enduring icons.

Listen to the remixes below.
