Charlotte de Witte reveals The Resistance on KNTXT. The

2026-10-05T00:00:00Z

Charlotte de Witte's 'The Resistance', a four-track EP, is out now via KNTXT, released on 24 September. The project doubles as the soundtrack to her audiovisual live show of the same name, following the 'Amor' EP and the single 'A Prayer for the Dancefloor / Malina', both released on KNTXT earlier this year in a prolific run for the Belgian artist. It arrives with features from Theo Nasa and XSALT. Nasa supplies the vocal on the title track, and XSALT returns for a fourth collaboration with de Witte on the EP's second cut, 'See Through The Lies'.

De Witte debuted an expanded "XXL" staging of the show at Rock Werchter in July, before a crowd of more than 40,000, capping a summer-long run of the production across European stages. Proceeds from the release go to The Nighttime Foundation, a nightlife advocacy group. Georgia McDonnell-Adams said the EP "tells every venue, crew and dancer that they are worth protecting." The EP closes with 'Another Place', built on a lyric de Witte composed roughly ten years before recording it and a vocal that opens in a whisper. It gathers into full voice as the EP ends.

Monolink announces What You Running From on Embassy One

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

‘What You Running From’ pairs a nimble dance pulse with Monolink’s cinematic, emotionally charged songwriting, whose emotional weight remains visible beneath the physical movement. Electronic tones and organ warmth shape the surface while a tightening rhythmic figure supports the bittersweet vocal line, giving the track a propulsive quality that remains tied to reflection. The balance invites dancing and contemplation in the same passage, with newly animated energy carried through a familiar emotional language that remains recognizably Monolink.

Monolink released the record through Embassy One, the label, on 21 August 2026, opening a new creative cycle that extends his established language toward fresh territory. The movement into that territory keeps the record connected to a familiar emotional identity, with its vocal presence providing continuity across the change. In his broader catalogue, the record follows the likes of ‘The Beauty Of It All’. Within the label’s catalogue, it follows ‘The Silence’.

Monolink has been on Embassy One since 2017, giving the current release a place inside an established relationship between artist and label. His next performance is at Karrusel.

You can stream the record on all platforms now. The release contains one track.

Sara Landry shares Interesting

2026-09-15T00:00:00Z

A technical issue briefly interrupted Sara Landry’s first UK back-to-back with Amelie Lens at London’s Magazine Open-Air. The two DJs also played a back-to-back set at Ultra Miami earlier this year.

On 4 September 2026, Landry released ‘Interesting’, a single through her own HEKATE label. Hardstyle, hard techno and rave elements run through it, joined by flickering synths, heavy bass and Landry’s spoken delivery. Her voice works as a guide through the arrangement. The vocal part gives Landry’s production a playful edge.

The single is the fourth song shared from ‘Divine Intervention’, the sophomore album Landry announced last month. It follows her 2024 debut LP, ‘Spiritual Driveby’. Landry has been releasing music since 2018 and has been on HEKATE since 2024. She says the album is about bringing people together to dance, capturing the moment they lose themselves on the floor and pushing them deeper into their own universe. She also wanted to “have some fun with this one.” You can listen to the single below. ‘Divine Intervention’ arrives on 16 October 2026.

Kaskade reveals ORIGIN// on EDMTunes

2026-09-14T00:00:00Z

Kaskade returned to Coachella after an 11-year gap, where he announced the album ‘ORIGIN //’ for release through EDMTunes on September 25.

A full live companion.

Custom visuals and cinematic staging frame the show, which draws from the breadth of Kaskade’s decades-spanning catalog. It presents the album’s story through chosen destination shows built as a full-production setup. The scale places it among Kaskade’s boldest live concepts. The hometown performance is set for Santa Monica, with the other stops in Brooklyn, Miami, and Austin.

Kaskade has been releasing music since 2001, and ‘Cold As Stone’ is the previous release on any label. ‘Runaway’ arrived alongside the tour announcement after Kaskade teamed up with GLOCKENBACH and Kaitlin Aragon on the melodic house single. GLOCKENBACH, a collaborator with nearly one billion streams, began his career in 2020 and has collaborated with Armin van Buuren, Illenium, and Joel Corry. The other singles so far are ‘A Little Bit’ with Crankdat, EDC Las Vegas’ official 2026 anthem ‘Meet Again’ with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani, and ‘Comes Back Around’ with BUNT.

Jonathan Serbin calls Kaskade one of electronic music history’s most influential artists. Serbin also credits him with more than two decades of artistic excellence and innovation that helped elevate dance music into a global cultural force. Kaskade says he lived in Asia for a few years, beginning a deep connection that has lasted decades. He says music gives him an amazing way to connect with crowds whose energy earns his deepest respect across Asia.

Peak is out now on Mixed Kids Records

2026-09-07T00:00:00Z

The last song Krewella put out on Mixed Kids Records, the label they launched themselves in 2017, was called 'the blueprint.' It closes 'PEAK,' the duo's long-awaited fourth studio album, released September 4, four years after their third, 'The Body Never Lies.'

Jahan and Yasmine have been releasing music since 2012, a run that includes 'Alive' and 'Live for the Night' from 2013's 'Get Wet.' They spent the years since 2022 away from touring and releasing, treating that distance as more valuable than the commercial peaks that once defined their career. 'the blueprint' first arrived as a single on the label before returning as the closing track of 'PEAK.' The album opens with 'lost in Paraty,' a cinematic intro that harmonizes angelic vocals over lower synths. From there it moves through pop-facing hooks, heavier bass-driven pulls and melodic techno, with the likes of 'press play,' 'Hear Me Now' and 'Crying On The Dancefloor' tracing that range.

Krewella play a Sunday set at Excision's Lost Lands festival in Ohio on September 20, then move to London's Drumsheds before a run of North American club dates carries them through November.

Mathame releases Follow

2026-09-07T00:00:00Z

Mathame's long-awaited collaboration with BONN is finally out. The Italian brothers built it around their own cinematic production, and paired it with an acclaimed vocalist's unmistakable delivery. The single arrived through MATHAME on 24 July 2026.

For more than a year, the track had no studio version, no release date, nothing officially out at all — just a growing stage life, built one festival at a time. Thousands of fans learned the words with nothing yet to stream; then Tomorrowland played it, and so did EDC, Sziget Festival and UNVRS Ibiza.

The lyrics stay close to something plain and direct: connection, without much ornament or excess. It plays as a festival song at heart, made for a crowd already singing it live. BONN's vocal work gives the track a human center, and the production carries an emotional intensity now becoming a hallmark of Mathame's music.

This one follows 'Meet Me', their previous release on the label. Mathame joined MATHAME in 2025 — a decade after they began releasing music, in 2015.

Chus & Ceballos, DJ Chus & Pablo Ceballos announce Somos Uno on Stereo Productions

2026-09-06T00:00:00Z

Chus & Ceballos, the production partnership of DJ Chus and Pablo Ceballos, toured extensively before releasing a note of new music. The Spanish duo reunited at the start of 2026, ending a hiatus brought on by the pandemic, and assembled the Reunion Tour around that return alone. The campaign has already carried them through more than fifty cities, among them Montreal, Toronto, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Madrid and Barcelona. Somos Uno, released 24 July 2026, is the first original recording to accompany a tour that preceded it.

It is out now via Stereo Productions and built from rolling percussion and tribal rhythm patterns, stacked into hypnotic grooves inside a notably more cinematic production style than the pair's earlier work. The record retains the identity that has followed Chus & Ceballos across their career, and few working in underground house have leaned on Latin rhythmic tradition as consistently as they have. Stereo Productions has also released music from Hector Couto, Mark Knight and the likes of Gorge.

Ceballos described the reunion itself as inseparable from the record's meaning. "Coming back together feels like another example of two different paths becoming one again," he said. "The message is simple: music has the power to bring people together, and this record is a celebration of that connection."

Krewella releases the blueprint on Mixed Kids Records

2026-09-05T00:00:00Z

Krewella went quiet after 2022's 'The Body Never Lies,' stepping back from the studio and the road for nearly two years. That stretch is over now. 'the blueprint' is the duo's fourth single since, out August 7th on Mixed Kids Records, the label they've run themselves since 2017. It follows 'Something Sacred' and 'Without You,' both out earlier in 2026.

Krewella play Lost Lands, the festival Excision runs in Ohio, on September 20, followed by a date at London's Drumsheds and a run of North American club shows through November.

The lyrics on 'the blueprint' turn existential, set against a melody built bright, bassline included. They circle a version of authenticity that doesn't depend on being seen. Krewella is Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf, sisters who've done things their own way in the group for fifteen years.

The vocals still soar. The production turns bass-heavy and hard, letting glitchy fragments carve into euphoric drops ahead of a sudden swing into drum & bass.

'the blueprint' nods back to the record that built Krewella's name: 'Alive,' the platinum anthem off their 2013 debut 'Get Wet.' A larger project is still to come. Stream it below.

Anyma and Volkoder team up on Other Dimension

2026-09-03T00:00:00Z

Anyma has released ‘Other Dimension’, a collaboration with Brazilian producer Volkoder, as the first single on his new label, ÆDEN Records. Born Matteo Milleri, he wrote and produced the track independently, setting driving electronic rhythm work and synthetic atmosphere against Volkoder's percussion-heavy foundation. It arrives as Anyma's first new solo-adjacent material since a pair of high-profile crossovers earlier this year, 'Bad Angel' alongside LISA of BLACKPINK and 'Beautiful' alongside Joji. Volkoder works out of São Paulo, and two decades in the studio have established him as one of Brazil's most reliable house producers.

ÆDEN Records launches today, distributed through Interscope/Virgin. Its debut release is a compilation, 'ÆDEN: Digital Renaissance Vol. I', due in late August and featuring contributions from the likes of Kevin De Vries, Argy and Massano. Anyma described the label as an extension of an approach he has carried through his career, framing it in his own words: “Building a community of artists and creatives has always been an important goal for my artistic path.”

Anyma's next US date lands at ARC Festival in Chicago on 6 September.

Armin van Buuren announces Burn It Up

2026-09-03T00:00:00Z

Armin van Buuren and DIØN have released 'Burn It Up', out 14 August through Armada Music. The pairing sets van Buuren's trance melodicism against DIØN's hard dance muscle, since the two artists built the track around pounding percussion and taut synth lines meant for high-energy, peak-time floors, and it arrives on the label van Buuren co-founded.

Scruffizer takes the vocal, and although van Buuren's trance foundations keep the melody legible, it is DIØN — a hard dance producer working from techno's harsher, more extreme corners — who supplies the low end aimed squarely at the mainstage crowd. Trance carries the record's backbone, but its weight, unmistakably, belongs to DIØN.

The pairing comes after a run that has put van Buuren among the most influential figures in dance music, a five-time DJ Mag Top 100 winner and also a Grammy nominee across two decades near the top of the genre.

Van Buuren teased the track at Awakenings. DIØN had already joined him onstage at Amsterdam Music Festival, back in 2025, sharing the bill.

MPH & Skrillex reveal Mirage

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

‘Mirage’ unfolds across shifting sections, each carrying a different balance of MPH's UK Garage instincts and Skrillex's sound-design chaos. Neither artist's fingerprint sits still for long. MPH, already one of UK Garage's most in-demand names, previewed the track months earlier at EDC Las Vegas, where it left the crowd waiting; following that early show, the single landed on 14 August, out now via Disorder. MPH put it simply, describing how the pair worked: "Skrillex would do some bits and pass the laptop to me."

MPH, after a summer spent on festival stages, heads into the biggest headline run of his career this fall, playing headline and festival dates across the US and Europe on a tour that opens 19 September at Copenhagen's Pumpehuset. Skrillex, meanwhile, has two nights booked at Chicago's Navy Pier alongside festival slots at Portola, Austin City Limits and Head Trip, after a year that has already taken him through Coachella, Glastonbury and Parklife.

The track's vocal edits are sliced tight around a sample drawn from ‘ShellyAnn’, the early-2000s dancefloor staple by Jamaican dancehall artist Red Rat.

KSHMR, Ampermut, Gobi Desert Collective & TEJA announce Mirage on Dharma

2026-08-31T00:00:00Z

'Mirage' runs eight tracks of warm, immersive organic house under KSHMR's new alias, TEJA. He made the record together with Ampermut and Gobi Desert Collective, and while his own catalogue leans euphoric and high-energy, this one leans spacious and considered. KSHMR was voted No. 23 in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs poll for 2025.

TEJA takes its name from Tej, KSHMR's late younger brother, and the alias is built to outlast this record, since further material and live shows are already planned under it. 'I fell in love with organic house some years ago and started this album, not knowing where it would lead,' KSHMR said, and the partnership traced back to a chance connection between KSHMR, Ampermut and Gobi Desert Collective, who began trading demos until the sessions became Mirage.

The album moves through 'Oasis', 'Nigaaro' and 'Rosh' (featuring Mir Iqbal), alongside the likes of 'Aquarius' and 'Sundial'. KSHMR has been open about where the mood came from: 'It's a more relaxed sound, with space for instruments and groove, and I'm excited to see where this journey goes,' he said.

Mirage has been out through Dharma since 17 July 2026.

R3HAB & orem announce All I am… on Island Berlin

2026-08-29T00:00:00Z

R3HAB closed out July with ‘All I am…’, a new single with vocalist orem released through Island Berlin on the 31st. Field recordings drawn from his own Moroccan heritage run through the production, a genuinely personal touch that ties his identity directly into the sound itself, while orem's vocal takes the harder edges off R3HAB's usual melodic drive and keeps the track's electronic pulse intact even as the mood turns softer than usual.

Born Fadil El Ghoul, R3HAB has toured festival stages for more than fifteen years and passed billions of streams along the way. He's stayed inside DJ Mag's Top 20 every year since 2017, a run that includes a number 12 finish in 2018, and has remixed tracks for the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Rammstein, while adding more than 130 platinum, gold and diamond certifications and a Spotify Most Discovered Artist title to that tally.

"The way that dreams inspire more dreams now has me feeling like I'm living a dream inside a dream," R3HAB said of the track.

Detox Unit shares four-track EP Schematic

2026-08-26T00:00:00Z

Nearly three years have gone by since 'Liminal'. The quiet broke on 21 August.

'Schematic' runs four tracks and is out now via Detox Unit. Ahead of it went the lead single, 'Detonator'.

That single was also the last thing to appear on the imprint, which has carried Detox Unit's records since 2023. It set the EP up and then held the ground on its own for a stretch. Years went into what sat behind it, and Detox Unit built the thing on a schedule of its own.

The approach is subtractive. Records get cut back to the ideas that carry, and what survives is focused, deliberate, and built for a serious rig. Fellow artists rate Detox Unit about as highly as the crowds do, and few names in experimental bass carry more respect.

The response has been loud. Years of radio silence, then a record fans had more or less stopped expecting. If you want it in a room, the tour dates are where to look — those rooms have been selling out, and this is among the busiest years Detox Unit has had.

Alan Walker announces Pain

2026-08-22T00:00:00Z

Alan Walker's new single 'Pain' rides a soaring hook into a high-impact, anthemic drop. The track features vocals from Jordan Shaw, a British singer-songwriter, whose contribution gives it a warmth that offsets the drop's larger dancefloor moments. The single is out now via SNK, released 31 July 2026.

Walker's live account carries a considerable scale of its own. His Walkerworld Tour drew over half a million fans before its final date, a Central Park performance in New York that closed out 2025, and his album Walkerworld 2.0 arrived in January of that year. At 28, he has accumulated more than 100 billion combined audio and video streams, accompanied by a global following exceeding 150 million.

Walker's newest contribution arrives on the soundtrack for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The game is SNK's first mainline release in the series since 1999's Garou: Mark of the Wolves, closing a 26-year gap and introducing a new visual style alongside a combat system called REV. He joined that soundtrack initiative in 2025, contributing its launch single alongside SORANA.

"Following Mind of A Warrior, it was an absolute honor to contribute to the Fatal Fury Season 2 album," Walker stated.

Jacques Greene announces Presence on LUCKYME®

2026-08-21T00:00:00Z

Jacques Greene has announced Presence, a new three-track record set for release on 16 October through LUCKYME.

Greene frames the shift plainly, in his own words: "This record moves away from concepts and follows an intuition for places where I wanted to be and where I would be wanted."

The record takes its name from the title track, which itself doubled as the lead single released ahead of the formal announcement that confirmed the full project. 'Presence' runs three minutes and forty-seven seconds at a driving pace, before handing off from there to a pair of features. 'Closer' comes next, bringing in DJ BORING for the middle stretch, before umru, the producer, joins Greene to end the record with 'What You Say.'

Greene wrote and recorded the material through a difficult stretch of personal upheaval, and its songs trace a path back toward the people and the places that gave him a renewed sense of purpose. That same instinct, he suggests, extends to the two guests he brought in for the record's second half. Stream it below.

Sara Landry releases 'Shake That' through her own HEKATE label

2026-08-20T00:00:00Z

HEKATE has another release out, this one built entirely around its founder: Sara Landry's 'Shake That,' a single she put out on her own imprint on 17 July, arrives as her latest solo statement since building the label into a fixture of her live sets. 'It's a real banger, sexy, bouncy and full throttle,' Landry said of the track.

Heavy low end anchors the track, with jagged synth stabs cutting across it, carrying the dark, underground-leaning energy that has become something of a signature for Landry even as she pushes further into a heavier, more provocative register than her earlier singles. It arrives while Landry, an EDM.com Class of 2024 pick, keeps building toward a sophomore album that will follow her debut, Spiritual Driveby.

'Shake That' lands after a run that has taken Landry through Coachella, Tomorrowland, EDC and Creamfields this year, and it follows a 2025 in which she reached number one on Beatport's Top 140 Chart with backing from Sammy Virji, Mala, Caspa, Eptic, Zeds Dead, Levity, It's Murph and Peekaboo.

The single's release also sits close to Landry's 2026 Ultra Music Festival Miami debut, where she led a full HEKATE stage takeover and closed it out with a headline back-to-back against Amelie Lens.

Kaskade and Crankdat finally make 'A Little Bit' official

2026-08-19T00:00:00Z

ARKADE has a new single out. Kaskade and Crankdat's 'A Little Bit' landed Friday, 10 July. Their first collaboration. Third single from Kaskade's forthcoming album, ORIGIN //. Ryan Raddon meets Christian Smith — a GRAMMY-nominated veteran and a bass producer out of Ohio, on the same track.

The track pairs Kaskade's melodic, emotionally driven production with Crankdat's heavier bass design, closing a gap between house and dubstep neither artist usually works in alone. It debuted live in April, when Kaskade brought Crankdat onstage at Coachella's Sahara tent — his first solo Coachella set in over a decade. 'My entire career has been about pulling influence from the ether, what's happening around me and in the world,' Kaskade said. The pairing runs deeper than one festival cameo: Crankdat has pointed to Kaskade as the artist who first pulled him into electronic music, long before either had a name in it. For Crankdat, the release now caps a run that has already included headline shows at the Tacoma Dome, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ultra Music Festival.

Armin van Buuren finally turns 'Enjoy the Silence' into techno

2026-08-18T00:00:00Z

Armin van Buuren has rebuilt Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy the Silence' as a melodic techno record, credited to van Buuren and Silver Panda as 'Here In My Arms (Enjoy The Silence).' It arrived 10 July on his own Armada Music. The 1990 original still outsells everything else in Depeche Mode's catalogue, and its Spotify count crossed a billion plays this year.

The rework keeps the song's vocal hook and its melancholy intact, setting both against driving percussion and layered synth work aimed squarely at club systems. It sets van Buuren's festival-scale sound alongside Silver Panda's newer, rising work in melodic techno. Reworking older records has become a recurring move for van Buuren: he remixed Faithless's 'We Come 1' in 2015, revisited Human Resource's 'Dominator' the year after, and took on Van Halen's 'Jump' in 2019.

'Here In My Arms (Enjoy The Silence)' circulated in van Buuren and Silver Panda's sets well before the official release, turning up at EDC, Ultra Miami, Stade de France and Ushuaïa Ibiza. The release lands during a dense stretch for van Buuren, who also put out 'No Mercy' with Adam Beyer this year and played an early-morning back-to-back with Enrico Sangiuliano at Kappa FuturFestival in Turin, before issuing a vinyl-only classic trance set recorded live at UNVRS Ibiza.

Max Styler puts six tracks on his own Nu Moda

2026-08-17T00:00:00Z

Max Styler has released a six-track EP through Nu Moda, the imprint he has run since 2025. 'I Don't Think I Can Stop' is out now on it.

Most of the tech house here has been in Styler's sets for months. The unreleased cuts that ran through his Coachella and Lollapalooza performances this summer were these, and the EP arrived within days of the Lollapalooza date.

Styler has said the EP is built to move the way his shows move, paced across six tracks. It follows a run of singles for the label, among them 'Oldskool Flavor' and 'One More' with Ad-Apt, which Solomun remixed.

Styler is still working through a summer tour schedule, and his catalogue has passed several million streams.
