Rebūke releases Debut Studio Album ‘World of Era’

The internationally acclaimed producer and artist releases the World Of Era, charged by the focus track “Ignite” featuring Au/Ra.

The 15 tracks across World Of Era are each carefully crafted pieces of music accompanied by a visual narrative, allowing people to experience Rebūke‘s ERA vision and storytelling in full and create something truly remarkable.

Accompanying him on this fantastic journey are a wide range of collaborators from esteemed producers and artists deadmau5, P.T. Adamczyk and Linska to vocalists Karin Park, Au/Ra, Greta Svabo Bech, Ed Graves and songwriter Melissa De Kleine.

The album focus track “Ignite” pairs Rebūke with Au/Ra. On “Ignite“, the international singer/songwriter known for her features on CamelPhat‘s “Panic Room” and Alan Walker‘s “Darkside” among other works with Gryffin, Afrojack and Alok brings her haunting voice to the song.

Shares Rebūke, “‘Ignite’ is the lead single from the album, a track about love emerging from darkness when you least expect it. I built the artwork and visuals around that idea – a couple standing together as The World of Era collapses around them.

They’ve made peace with the end, choosing to share their final moments together in a sort of bittersweet beauty found in the chaos way. Au/Ra’s haunting yet beautifully ethereal vocals elevate the emotion. I’m proud of this one”.

Adds Au/Ra, “Dance music will always be a part of my artistry, and I love collaborating with artists in this space. Rebūke’s sound and visuals fit so well in my world. I’m so happy we got to do this song and hope others enjoy it.”

Alongside “Ignite“, listeners will be captivated by tracks like “Endless” featuring Ed Graves with deadmau5, “Erase” featuring Greta Svabo Bech and instrumentals “Juno,” “Aingeal” and “Where You Are.”

Also featured is his collaboration “Choose Life” with Linska, a conceptual track that takes inspiration from the cult classic Trainspotting, reimagining Irvine Welsh‘s iconic monologue for the present day. Video game composer P.T. Adamczyk – known for his music for “The Witcher” and Cyberpunk 2077 – joins Rebūke on “Chaos,” a gritty, dystopian piece with glimmers of beauty as well as “Forever” with Aya Anne.

As a multi-layered artist who emphasizes visuals as an extension of his art alongside his music, the creative for The World Of Era takes us through a dystopian wonderland as seen in visualizers for “Endless“, “Choose Life“, “Teardrops” and “Ignite.” Look for Rebūke to incorporate these looks into his live shows in support of The World of Era.

Florian Picasso continues his bold rebrand with the release of Sugar Daddy

Florian Picasso

Florian Picasso continues his bold rebrand with the release of his latest single, Sugar Daddy, out now on FLUID. Following overwhelming demand and viral buzz across social media, the release date was moved up to give fans exactly what they wanted: a playful, infectious contender for Song of the Summer.

True to its name, Sugar Daddy winks at the glamorous and cheeky world of sugar daddies and babies, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics like “I like my sugar with a side of fancy restaurant.” It’s flirtatious, fun, and irresistibly catchy, an instant earworm that’s already making its rounds in clubs around the world.

“This is the most anticipated release of the year for me,” Florian shares. “I’ve been so excited to finally drop this track, especially after seeing how crazy the reactions have been on social media. I’m just really happy everyone can finally listen to the full song now.”

Florian Picasso – Sugar Daddy

The release marks another bold step in Picasso‘s evolving sonic identity. Since kicking off his rebrand with When I Saw U on Hotmeal Records, Florian has kept the momentum going with the dancefloor-driven Booty EP on Solomun‘s Diynamic Music and the high-energy Sissy Walk on Perfecto Records.

Florian‘s music evolution has been mirrored by a dynamic live presence. Recent standout performances include Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza, Badaboum Paris during Fashion Week, OXI in Berlin, Virage in Paris, and Amsterdam Open Air presents Diynamic, solidifying his place as one of electronic music’s most exciting and unpredictable forces. His own Dekadance parties further underscore his role as a curator, shaping both sound and experience for a new generation of underground audiences.

Sugar Daddy is more than a song, it’s a feeling: bold, fun, and undeniably Florian. With momentum building, this is just the beginning of a red-hot summer soundtrack.

Jamie Jones & Nicole Moudaber return to Hot Creations with ‘Where All My People’

When Jamie Jones and Nicole Moudaber first collaborated on Hot Creations in 2020 with ‘Pepper Shake’, the result was a record that became an instant fixture in DJ sets worldwide for a seemingly never-ending list of names. Five years on, the pair return with ‘Where All My People’, a powerful anthem that merges Jamie’s signature groove-led style with Nicole’s unmistakable drive and energy.

The record is further elevated by the pen and infectious vocals of London-based duo House Of Molly, whose recent work includes collaborations with Eats Everything and Piero Pirupa following their debut alongside Moudaber in 2024.

Where All My People’ is a celebration of rhythm, anchored by a rolling bassline and crisp percussion that form a tight, understated groove. House of Molly’s commanding vocal hook runs through the track like a thread of energy, adding a human touch that feels both intimate and anthemic.

The ‘Dub’ version strips away the vocal layers, shifting the focus onto a pulsating low-end and intricate drum programming, perfect for DJs who want a darker, more heads-down interpretation.

Both Jamie and Nicole have spent years shaping the global electronic scene, each with a legacy of releases and events that have defined dance music. Jamie, as the creative force behind Hot Creations and Paradise, remains one of the most respected names in house music, known for his signature blend of funk-driven rhythms and forward-thinking productions.

Nicole, equally iconic, is a powerhouse of the techno and house worlds, with her longstanding MOOD and recently launched MoodCollective imprints, and a career defined by genre-crossing creativity, iconic collaborations, and relentless energy.

Where All My People’ is more than just a collaboration; it’s the meeting of two icons who have consistently pushed the sounds of the dancefloor forward, and the introduction of a dynamic female duo already capturing serious attention.

Marking another standout moment where distinct musical identities merge seamlessly, and as Hot Creations continues its hot streak, ‘Where All My People’ stands out as one of the label’s biggest records of 2025 – crafted by artists at the top of their game, and built for key moments across the globe.

Amelie Lens unveils new remix of Anyma, ARGY & Son of Son’s ‘Voices In My Head’

Amelie Lens

Amelie Lens unveils a blistering new remix of Anyma, ARGY and Son of Son’s haunting ‘Voices In My Head’. The new track arrives hot on the heels of her recent Serenity EP and electrifying collaborative EP One Mind with Charlotte de Witte. 

With a long history of bringing together the biggest cutting edge names in techno with the best up-and-comers, it’s no surprise Amelie Lens chose ‘Voices In My Head’, which showcases the combined talents of major force Anyma (aka Matteo Milleri – one half of Tale Of Us and co-founder of Afterlife) with melodic techno stalwart ARGY and genre-bending newcomer Son of Son, to flex her remix muscle.

The original first appearing on Anyma’s celebrated The End of Genesys project, it was released as a second single back in Feb, clocking up streams in the millions, enrapturing fans worldwide and not least Lens herself from the word go.

A textbook example of her gift for immaculate sound design, Lens injects pummeling rhythms and compelling sonic detail into her remix of ‘Voices in My Head’. Transforming the original into a high-octane, peak-time techno weapon, with pounding kicks, razor-sharp percussion – clean, mechanical, and tightly looped – and a gritty, rolling bassline, she strips the track down to its raw essentials.

The haunting vocal loop and gated effects throughout the mix create a tense, hypnotic atmosphere that’s dark, driving and made for the rave. Raw and physical, this new edit takes ‘Voices In My Head’ to intensely uncompromising new heights and is classic Amelie Lens in all her glory.

Amelie says: “When I heard the original ‘Voices In My Head’ track for the first time the idea to make my own version got stuck in my head immediately and I couldn’t let it go.

I worked on the remix, started playing it and realized that this version is the perfect balance between my own sound and the original, so I couldn’t be happier and prouder to finally share my take on an amazing track with the world!”

Monegros Desert Festival is already gearing up for 2026

The desert has spoken. The 32nd edition of Monegros Desert Festival came to a close after an unforgettable day in which 50,000 attendees from 90 countries immersed themselves in an intense experience of music, freedom and community. Under the blazing desert sun and amidst the now-iconic clouds of dust, the festival once again proved why it remains one of the most legendary electronic rituals worldwide.

For 22 uninterrupted hours, the beats took over the arid landscape of Fraga with a lineup featuring over 150 artists across 13 stages—this year marked by a significant production leap.

Two standout additions joined the iconic Monegros stages: the Duna Stage by Brunch Electronik, offering a refined selection of house and techno in a more intimate setting, and the monumental Unreal, a dystopian temple for the darkest and most powerful sounds in the European scene.

The most symbolic moment came at the very end, when Indira, one of Spain’s most internationally acclaimed DJs, made history as the first Spanish woman ever to close Monegros Desert Festival. Her set, both vibrant and emotional, was a bold statement: the future of techno is also written in feminine form.

Monegros Festival 2025

“This year was deeply emotional. Seeing Indira close the festival, surrounded by a sea of people after 22 hours non-stop, reminded us why we do this. It’s not just about music—it’s legacy, evolution, breaking boundaries,” said Cruz Arnau, co-founder of the festival.

“Monegros 2025 was a bold mix of present and future. We embraced new formats, new talents, and new audiences. What happened in the desert can’t be replicated anywhere else,” added Juan Arnau Jr.

A sonic desert in constant expansion

Monegros continues to be a festival where the epic and the unexpected coexist. Across 120,000 m² of desert terrain, each stage offered a different sonic journey. From industrial techno and heavy-hitting house to drum & bass and reggae, this year’s musical curation once again defied categorization.

Among the most memorable moments of the edition was the explosive F2F set by Andrian Mills and Andrés Campo at Industry City, which electrified the crowd with an impeccable fusion of techno and local charisma. Live performances by Pendulum and Rudimental also stood out, along with sets by Fatima Hajji, Richie Hawtin, and Paco Osuna.

“This year’s lineup reflects what Monegros stands for: a radically free vision of electronic music,” emphasized Víctor de la Serna, musical director of the festival. “There’s room here to dance, to explore, to get lost… and to find yourself.”

A massive technical and human operation

The festival’s infrastructure was monumental. Over 4,000 professionals worked behind the scenes, including 1,200 bartenders, 500 security agents, technicians, drivers, medical staff, and cleaning crews. More than 14,000 private vehicles and 275 buses were mobilized, with a logistics operation designed to ensure safety and smooth flow from arrival to departure.

The venue design was enhanced with new shaded areas, improved water points, intuitive signage, streamlined payment systems, and upgraded rest areas—all without compromising the wild, radical essence that has made Monegros a cult favorite.

Environmental awareness, no empty promises

For another year, Repsol joined as the festival’s Energy Partner, with the shared goal of reducing CO₂ emissions. Monegros was powered using 100% renewable fuel from Repsol, which supplied the generators that ran the event.

Moreover, iconic structures like the airplane and the train were reused once again, reinforcing the festival’s distinctive visual identity. Public transport was heavily promoted, and the food offering—local and plant-based, served in compostable containers underscored a commitment to a more sustainable model.

The dust settles, the memory remains… and the next chapter begins

Once again, Monegros Desert Festival proved it’s not just another festival: it’s an act of collective faith, a celebration of music and resistance in one of the most inhospitable and awe-inspiring landscapes in the country.

There are no gimmicks here. Just truth, volume, and vision. See you in the dust on July 25, 2026.

MRAK Ignites Afterlife With His Striking New ‘Smoke’ EP

MRAK

MRAK, the solo venture from Afterlife co-founder Carmine Conte, returns with a trio of stunning new singles.

Smoke is a highly anticipated track that has been endlessly ID requested for many months, and it comes here alongside the equally essential Nobody and All Of The Lights.

More than just a solo venture, MRAK represents Conte‘s deeper, more introspective creative journey, delving into the more conceptual and experimental realms of his artistry, where music becomes a medium for storytelling, transformation, and immersive experiences. He has already served up a superb stream of singles on the label, and with this latest release, he once again pushes things forward.

Smoke is a deep and dark cut, with firmly rooted drums anchoring the groove, while scintillating synth progressions inject light and emotion from above. A smoky vocal drifts through the fog like a mirage, adding a ghostly, human touch. As trance chords break out, they lift the energy, uniting the dance floor and transporting listeners into a heightened state.

MRAK Smoke EP

The emotive Nobody is another lithe rhythm with a soulful vocal sample drifting above the all-consuming bass and snappy percussion.

All Of The Lights then brings dark, driving low ends and snappy drum patterns with spine-tingling vocals. The bass is broad and brooding, while the epic chords mirror the grandeur of the vocal and ensure maximum emotional impact.
