Tasadi x Sarah de Warren – ‘I Would Do Anything’

I Would Do Anything‘ pairs Tasadi with the estimable singing/songwriting talents of Sarah de Warren, and for her part the English vocalist brings the track all its heart. The cut-glass resolve of her delivery belies its laid-bare lyrics, the reflectively bittersweet nature of which is impossible to ignore.

Fedde Le Grand – ‘Bounce That’

Fedde Le Grand’s Bounce That‘ immediately kicks off with a pulsating bass, paired flawlessly alongside a propelling four-on-the-floor rhythm. A textured vocal flows throughout the dancefloor warmer’s approximately four-minute runtime, providing a heady touch to the atmospherically entrancing offering. A true turn-up anthem, the feelgood endeavor is audibly rife with lively elements and an overall sprightly tone.

OCULA – ‘Clear’

“‘Clear‘ came from a time of fresh motivation for me. I was in a state of mind where I didn’t really know what the right step was to take next, but after talking with close friends and family and building up a plan of what to do and where to go, I had this burst of creativity that led to ‘Clear’. Personally, I think you can hear that motivation and passion in the song with the emotive, catchy lead and rising energy.”

Krewella x MADGRRL – ‘No Control’

“It’s been years since we’ve made a track [‘No Control‘] like this – dipping into our career-long love of hardstyle and heavy bass music, we wrote and produced this song to articulate the burgeoning chaos we’ve been craving since having a lack of human contact and indulgent experiences during the pandemic. We tapped MADGRRL, whom we’ve known for almost 10 years, and has been making some of our favorite heavy dance tracks lately to help take this one to another level of wild.”

Regal – ‘The Cult Of Personality (Regal & Sita Abellan Remix)’

Regal and Sita Abellan’s remix of ‘The Cult Of Personality‘ leans heavily into the realm of electro, with heavily distorted synth lines marching through like a freight train.
