Sam Feldt x Rita Ora – ‘Follow Me’
“For me, ‘Follow Me‘ is all about being there for a special someone, and sticking with them even when times get tough. Working with Rita Ora on this one was a dream come true. I’ve been a fan of her voice and work for a long time, so I love the fact we were finally able to do a song together. The whole process, from writing the song to filming the music video in the California desert, was so much fun and I hope this resonates in the track for the listener!”
— Sam Feldt

Remember The Chainsmokers’ ‘#Selfie’? Here’s a welcome response at the height of look-at-me culture from NEVERGLOW – no filter, no holds barred club beats in a bassline garage style, ramped up by a snotty, brattish vocal from MORY popping bubblegum in the direction of Ke$ha, Fergie and Princess Superstar. Those obsessed with their phones might not get the joke being played by the Eindhoven pair, but they’ll soon understand once those eski-beat-style bass chords start slicing through the club: ‘Instafamous‘ gains potency as the track progresses, packing the glorious wobble of dynamite-laced jelly.

Eric Sharp – ‘Like Water (feat. Doe Paoro)’

— Eric Sharp on ‘Like Water‘

Pioneering musical concept Anyma returns with new EP ‘Running‘.

Swathed in classic Kasablanca technical grit, ‘Volition‘ powerfully follows the pair’s enthralling ‘Cronus‘. Hypnotic vocal chops echo throughout the nearly 5-minute track as its oscillating kick propels its fervent energy. A rapturous club-infused display of technical prowess, ‘Volition’ is suited for the underground. Seamlessly combining elements of both progressive and melodic techno, Kasablanca’s ‘Cronus’ debuted in November as part one of their two-track project. Traversing through tranquil breakdowns and blood-pumping build ups, the duo stimulates the senses in ‘Cronus’ overwhelming melodic abundance.
TIBASKO – ‘Hibiscus’
“One of our favorite aspects of music production is searching through our record collections and online and discovering exceptional samples. Stumbling across this beautiful vocal by Nahawa Doumbia melded perfectly with the ideas we envisioned for this track. ‘Hibiscus‘ works to facilitate the gorgeous vocal sample amidst an organic wave of plucking synths and bolstered by tight and powerful percussive elements. Creating the lead arp that appears in the second drop was also very fun to make, it’s reminiscent of the sound design found in tracks from the likes of Joris Voorn and Stephan Bodzin that we both love.”
— TIBASKO
