“… a true jump up version of ‘Ballie’ from DESTRUCTO production.” — Idris Elba

”Love the spin DESTRUCTO put on ‘Ballie’!” — KAH-LO

This past spring, Idris Elba set the Yuma Tent at Coachella on fire with the debut of “Ballie” featuring Nigeria’s #1 streaming female artist KAH-LO. Now, the song has been reignited for dance floors everywhere today (March 6) with a fresh take from bass-house producer DESTRUCTO.

Listen to the Idris Elba “Ballie” DESTRUCTO remix now: https://idriselba.lnk.to/Remix

Available on Elba’s London-based label 7Wallace, DESTRUCTO takes a dark twist on the track that fuses hip-hop and house—otherwise known as g-house which is what the producer is known for. The pair met at DESTRUCTO’S All My Friends music festival this past fall which brought him into the fold for the remix. Other recent DESTRUCTO releases include Walker & Royce and SQWAD remixes of his track with Yo Gotti, “Loaded” and “Twisted” which samples Mobb Deep’s “Got It Twisted” from their 2004 album Amerikaz Nightmare.

SLANDER And Said the Sky "Potions" Acoustic Out Today 3/4 on Monstercat - SLANDER Appearing at Ultra, Coachella, EDC, Shambhala and more by Brian Rapaport

SLANDER & SAID THE SKY

“POTIONS” ACOUSTIC
OUT TODAY (MARCH 4) ON MONSTERCAT

LISTEN NOW HERE

Slander-Saidthesky.png

Electronic music duo SLANDER (Derek Andersen and Scott Land) are no strangers to offerings fans acoustic versions of their most beloved songs including “Love Is Gone” featuring Dylan Matthew and “All You Need To Know” with Gryffin featuring Calle Lehmann. Today (March 4), the pair and Said The Sky Trevor Christensen) have released a new acoustic version of their song “Potions” featuring JT Roach.

Listen now here: https://monstercat.ffm.to/potions-acoustic-bmx0

The original version of the song was released in spring 2019. “While SLANDER are typically known for dynamic and explosive bass music, their new collaboration with Said The Sky, aptly titled ‘Potions,’ demonstrates that even those with the toughest exterior can succumb to the ever-present human emotions of love, loss, and longing,” wrote EDM.com. “‘Potions’ speaks to the nature of relationships ending, and the way in which each individual copes with the feelings of pain and loss. The potion offers a means to escape the ever-present pain, but it’s unclear if the escape is anything more than a convenient self-deception.”

Meanwhile, SLANDER are currently in the middle of their “EYE TOUR ft. Dylan Matthew” which is crisscrossing America with festival plays at Ultra Music Festival, Coachella and Shambhala in between.

Loud Luxury And CID Offer New Single "Nights Like This" Today, Feb 28 by Brian Rapaport

Loud Luxery Logo.png

LOUD LUXURY

LINK UP WITH CID FOR TITLE TRACK
OF UPCOMING EP: ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS’

NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY, FEBRUARY 28 ON ARMADA

 
Loud Luxury - Nights Like This.jpg
 

Loud Luxury are more than accustomed to striking the iron while it’s hot and they showed as much as they released the second single of their forthcoming EP Nights Like This today (February 28). Sharing its name both with the upcoming EP and the Canadian duo’s past live tour, “Nights Like This” includes the trademark touches of New York City’s GRAMMY award-winning DJ/producer CID and perfectly sets the tone for the two remaining singles of the EP which are set to drop between now and the EP’s full release on March 27.

Listen to Loud Luxury x CID — Nights Like This

Released in the wake of their recent single “Cold Feet,” “Nights Like This” is the first-ever crossbreed masterpiece between the Canadian stars and the American GRAMMY winner. Steeped in pop appeal, infectious top lines, and dance-floor-tailored grooves, the record brings with it a natural effervescence tailor to dance music today.

“We’re very good friends with Carlos Cid, and one day we said we should make a record together,” explains Loud Luxury’s Joe De Pace. “We worked with Carlos on the track and then he met us on our bus tour, so we actually made part of it on the tour bus.”

“What was funny about that,” adds Andrew Fedyk, “…was that was the last song for the EP, and we wrote that song around the theme of ‘Nights Like This’ because we knew that’s what we wanted to make the tour and the EP about. We were looking for something that touched on that theme and helped to create that world.”

It’s been an amazing ride for university friends Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, better known as Canadian duo Loud Luxury. With their now worldwide smash hit “Body” (feat. Brando), the Toronto boys—who now call Los Angeles home— are certified Diamon in Canada and platinum in a range of other countries (3x in Australia, 2x in Switzerland and 1x in the U.K., the Netherlands, Austria and more), held the #1 spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay chart for two weeks, charted in the Top 40 of U.S. Pop radio and the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart (#4) and accumulated hundreds of millions of plays across the most popular streaming services. Its follow-up single, “Love No More” (with anders), garnered 12 million streams on Spotify alone in its first month and currently sits at an impressive 120 million plays on the streaming platform, while last summer’s “I’m Not Alright” (with Bryce Vine) adds to the tally with over 45 million streams. Earlier this year, the duo scooped up there 2020 JUNO Awards nominations (including one win) in 2019 as well as iHeart Music Awards nominations for ‘Dance Song Of The Year’ and ‘Dance Artist Of The Year’.

The name CID ought to ring a bell with dance music aficionados. The New York City-based artist laid claim to a GRAMMY Award for ‘Best Remixed Recording’ for his work on Cedric Gervais’ rendition of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” in 2013, garnered the attention from industry veterans such as Kaskade and Tiësto, and scooped up a Grammy nomination for his own in 2018 for his remix of Labrinth, Sia and Diplo’s “Audio.” An in-demand engineer and producer as well as a globetrotting performer, he continues to capture the gaze of dance music’s most prominent names (from Galantis and Oliver Heldens to Cedric Gervais and Don Diablo) and now enters into a new chapter. Dropping this brilliant record alongside Canadian superstars Loud Luxury, he is set to take his burning ambition to the next level.

Electro Pioneers KRAFTWERK Return To North America For a 3-D Concert Tour This Summer by Brian Rapaport

K R A F T W E R K

ELECTRO PIONEERS KRAFTWERK
CELEBRATE THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2020

WITH THEIR RETURN TO NORTH AMERICA
FOR A 3-D SUMMER CONCERT TOUR

TICKETS GO ON SALE THIS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27

KRAFTWERK cr: Peter Boettcher

KRAFTWERK cr: Peter Boettcher

After their worldwide hugely successful 3-D concert tours, the Electro pioneers Kraftwerk announce North American tour dates for summer 2020. Bringing together music, 3-D visuals and performance art, KRAFTWERK are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk” a total work of art.

The multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970’s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for their digital age of the 21st century. Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerized rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from Electro to Hip Hop, from Techno to SynthPop.

In their live performances, Kraftwerk- Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, Falk Grieffenhagen-illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. Starting with the retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012, in recent years Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late sixties. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo), Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Foundation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue National Galerie (Berlin), and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). In 2014 Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Tickets go on sale to the public this Thursday, February 27 at 10am local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning Tuesday, February 25 at 10am local time through Thursday, February 27 at 9am local time.

Emancipator Drops Powerful New Single "Iron Ox" -- Upcoming Album 'Mountain of Memory' Now Available for Preorder by Brian Rapaport

EMANCIPATOR
DROPS POWERFUL NEW SINGLE “IRON OX”
LISTEN NOW HERE

UPCOMING ALBUM ‘MOUNTAIN OF MEMORY’ (LOCI RECORDS)
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER HERE

CATCH EMANCIPATOR ENSEMBLE LIVE ON TOUR THIS SPRING

eMANCIPATOR.jpg

This past January Douglas Appling, the Portland-based electronic musician known to electronic music enthusiasts as Emancipator, announced his sixth studio album Mountain of Memory (April 3, Loci Records) with the release of “Labyrinth.” Today (2/21), he follows with another instrumental hem from the collection with “iron Ox.” The album’s official pre-order also launches for digital formats via a Pre-Sav, Add or proper pre-order, as well as vinyl or one of a few exclusive vinyl/merch bundles.

Listen to “Iron Ox” now here: https:///ffm.to/emancipator-iron-ox

“Iron Ox” starts with an ambient fusion of pad-like chords, a beat, and a plucked ukulele. “The beat is strong and persevering as the layers build to an almost overwhelmingly saturated atmosphere. The title is a direct reference to a strong animal symbol but also a play on words - Iron-Ox being short for iron oxide, or rust,” says Appling. “Rust is formed when metal mixes with water. The timbres in this song are metallic and fluid. The spirit of the song is maintaining a steady strength despite the constantly changing waters of our lives and the entropy of time.”

Emancipator - Iron Ox.jpg

Mountain of Memory’s 13 free-flowing tracks effortlessly encapsulate his entire musical history without sounding forced or overly complicated: Mid-tempo dance grooves, solid boom-bap hip-hop beats, and calm, reflective tempos blend with electric and acoustic guitars, classical violin, Persian dilruba, cimbaloms, finger snaps, symphonic strings, bubbling water, Latin and African hand drumming, music boxes, Baroque flutes and opera singers, who add unexpected vocal ornamentations to accent certain melodic phrases. Underlying it all is the bed of sound Appling produces using electric pianos, ethereal synthesizer washes, processed and almost inaudible vocals, soothing ambient textures and the pulsing of an infinite heartbeat produced by electronic bass tones.

Catch Emancipator Ensemble—who is Doug Appling (production/guitar) along with IIya Goldberg (violin), Colby Buckler (drums), Mub Fractal (bass) and Asher Fuler (keys)—on tour this spring to support Mountain of Memory:

LOUD LUXURY
LAUNCH FIRST SINGLE OF FORTHCOMING ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS’ EP
”COLD FEET” TODAY, FEBRUARY 14

Loud Luxery - Cold Feet.png

Amid a hectic tour schedule (with a continued Vegas residency and a slew of global festival performances this upcoming summer) and TV appearances (e.g. “LIVE with Kelly and Ryan,” “The Late Late Show with James Gordon” performing “I’m Not Alright” with Bryce Vine), LOUD LUXURY still managed to find the time to put their exemplary studio ethic to the test. The direct product of that musical push is their forthcoming Nights Like This EP (due March 27), and the Canadian duo dropped the EP’s first single today “Cold Feet”.

Listen to Loud Luxury’s “Cold Feet” now here: https://armas1703.lnk.to/CFPR
View the lyric video starting at noon ET today here: https://youtu.be/9Eer_MhKoNE

Talking about love lost in the final stretch, Loud Luxury’s “Cold Feet” combines haunting vocal melodies with a vivid instrumental backdrop. Adorned even further with soul-stirring lyrics, this track is the perfect creative collision of recognizability and club-focused vibes.

Its been an amazing ride for university friends Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, better known as Canadian duo Loud Luxury. With their now worldwide smash hit “Body” (feat. Brando), the Toronto boys are certified Diamond in Canada and Platinum in a range of other countries (3x in Australia, 2x in Switzerland and 1x in the U.K., the Netherlands, Austria and more), held the #1 spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Airplay chart for two weeks, charted in the Top 40 of U.S. Pop radio and the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart (#4) and accumulated hundreds of millions of plays across the most popular streaming services.

Earlier this year, the duo scooped up three 2020 JUNO Awards nominations for ‘Dance Recording Of The Year’, ‘Fan Choice Award’ and ‘Group Of The Year’, following four nominations (including one win) in 2019 as well as iHeart Music Awards nominations for ‘Dance Song Of The Year’ and ‘Dance Artist Of The Year.’

Electronic Music Producer Jean-Michel Jarre to Serve as SXSW Panelist - New Infinite Music App 'EoN' Available Now on iOS by Brian Rapaport

JEAN-MICHEL JARRE
TO SERVE AS SXSW PANELIST
”MUSIC COPYRIGHT & AI: WHO OWNS CODE-CREATED SONGS?”
TUESDAY, MARCH 17
MODERATED BY DANI DEAHL (THE VERGE)

INFINITE MUSIC APP ‘EōN’ AVAILABLE NOW ON iOS

“In practice you could listen to the app all day and the music would continually evolve. Users can listen to music generated by EōN both online and offline as the algorithm and audio engine that generate the music is built directly into the app…We enjoyed the concept and expect nothing less from an artist like Jarre at the forefront of using new technology for music.” DJ MAG

Jean-Michel Jarre cr: Tom Sheehan

Jean-Michel Jarre cr: Tom Sheehan

Acclaimed electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre will make his SXSW debut on Tuesday, March 17 as a panelist for “Music Copyright & AI: Who Owns Code-Created Songs?” The panel, moderated by The Verge’s Dani Deahl, will explore the new field of music copyright and AI. Jarre comes to SXSW in support of his latest project, EōN: a dynamic music app available now via iOS which produces infinite, ever-evolving music, accompanied by a constant progression of organic visuals. More on the panel can be found here.

EōN — named after the ancient Greek god of time and eternity — made its global premiere at Web Summit in Lisbon this past November. It is a work of art designed to be played endlessly. Using original musical elements composed by Jarre specifically for the project, the app creates a never-repeating and completely unique musical experience for every user, every time. Jarre’s SXSW participation marks his first U.S. appearance since the app’s release.

A world-first due to its sheer scope and scale, the app combines man and machine as the algorithm weaves together original material — beats, melodies, chords — which Jarre composed, performed and recorded in his studio. A stark difference to other generative-music apps, EōN is not limited to a linear, ‘ambient-music’ style, and is instead more like a never-ending album with a rich variety of tempo, tones, and rhythms.

Upon completing his compositions for the app, Jarre approached Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo (SONY CSL) researcher, Alexis André, to bring the music to life visually by creating an intricate and elaborate flow of ever-evolving graphics. The encoding and final algorithm was delivered by Alexis Zbik and Vianney Apreleff from French music tech company BLEASS who, with Jarre’s artistic direction, defined the rules of the app and how it orchestrates the music.

Delivering an unrivaled experience through endless hours of original music, EōN produces an individual piece of art for every user. They are able to listen to music generated by EōN both online and offline as the algorithm and audio engine are built directly into the app.

Jarre is at the forefront of artists using new technology for music, most recently in partnership with TheWaveVR, allowing users to experience his latest album, Equinoxe Infinity, in virtual reality. With technology at the core of everything we do today, Jarre believes that “this is the most exciting time in history to make music”. His ongoing collaboration with WONY CSL is proving to be immensely productive and insightful and will inform Jarre’s next creative endeavour.

Commenting on the app, Jarre says “I named this project EōN as it best defines exactly what it is — an infinite musical and visual creation. Personally, I truly feel that EōN is one of my most exciting creative projects since my debut Oxygene. EōN is a never-ending, never repetitive, organic art-piece that will live and grow forever in everyone’s own singular space-time continuum, at the tip of their finger.”

When describing EōN and the collaborative experience, SONY CSL’s Alexis André said: “An audio-visual journey that transcends time… I could not think of a better challenge, and it’s been a priceless experience to bring the sounds of Jean-Michel Jarre to the screen.”

EōN revolutionizes the sheer concept of ‘recorded’ music as we have always known it by immersing the listener in a timeless sonic (and visual) experience which has no start nor finishing note,” adds BLEASS co-founder Vianney Apreleff. “It’s an immense honour for BLEASS and myself to be part of this new artform envisioned by Jean-Michel Jarre.”

Priced at $8.99, the app is updated regularly with new features and will also be available to other platforms including Android in the very near future.

About Jean-Michel Jarre
Composer, performer, producer. Visionary, innovator, cultural ambassador. Any list of Jean-Michel Jarre’s countless facets would inevitably come short of his actual significance in music history. “JMJ” is a living legend and often referred to as the “Godfather of Electronic Music”. When Jarre launched his landmark debut album Oxygene in 1976, he opened a new chapter in music history. Today, he has sold more than 80 million albums and his pioneering work gave birth to a veritable cult and the fastest-growing trend the music industry has ever stood to witness: the rise of electronic music.

Jarre’s unparalleled creative output is perpetually linked to his innovative exploration of new technological trends. From the first modular and polyphonic synth and drum-machines to digital keyboards, plug-ins, and apps, JMJ is always at the forefront to use them. He was the first to popularise the laser harp, he transformed the Huston skyline into a projection surface for the first-ever large-scale laser-mapping performance at a gigantic outdoor concert in ‘86 and set up a live video connection to the MIR astronauts in space during his epic Moscow concert in 1997, witnessed by a record-breaking 3.5 million spectators. His millennium concert in Egypt was the first concert ever to be streamed live on the internet.

In 2019 Jarre released his all-encompassing ‘best of’ album Planet Jarre — 50 Years of Music as well as his new studio album Equinoxe Infinity, a concept album around the influence of Artificial Intelligence on Human mankind and the use of technology in our day to day life.

BEDOUIN Announce New Label Human By Default--'Whistleman EP' Out March--Miami Music Week, Coachella, III Points Plays Confirmed by Brian Rapaport

Human Default Logo.jpg

INTERNATIONAL MELODIC HOUSE DUO BEDOUIN LAUNCH NEW MUSIC LABEL HUMAN BY DEFAULT

‘WHISTLEMAN EP’—FEATURING THREE NEW BEDOUIN SONGS PLUS A BONUS REMIX FROM PABLO FIERRO—DUE OUT MARCH 27 AS HUMAN BY DEFAULT’S DEBUT RELEASE

MIAMI MUSIC WEEK SHOWCASE ANNOUNCED FOR MARCH 19 AT THE BEACH CLUB AT 1HOTEL

FESTIVAL APPEARANCES CONFIRMED FOR COACHELLA APRIL 12 & 19 AND III POINTS MAY 1 & 2

Today, February 13, Bedouin (Tamer Malki & Rami Abou-Sabe) who are one of the leaders of international house music have announced the launch of their new label Human By Default. Serving as a destination for their own original music as Bedouin along with new music that they love by artists they meet along the road, Human By Default marks its first release with the Whistleman EP on March 27.

Celebrating the launch of Human By Default, Bedouin will perform alongside special guests during Miami Music Week with a showcase at The Beach Club March 19 with festival appearances set for Coachella April 12 & 19 and III Points in early May.

“The name of the label serves as a reminder that being human is the only choice in life we don’t have the privilege making. Every other choice in life we can make for ourselves and we embrace this heavily as artists in our quest to challenge everything we currently understand musically,” states Bedouin. “The artists we have carefully selected encompass the careful balance between musical discipline and creativity and have proven over and over the ability to create what we feel is the most forward-thinking and honest expressions. After all that the most exciting thing remains to be what is not yet created.” Look for HUman By Default to release music both digitally and on vinyl.

With an entire year of releases each month already in the pipeline, Human By Default will hit the ground running next month with the Whistleman EP. The title track opens with smooth keys, shimmering percussion, a warming bassline and gorgeously delicate vocals that send you into aural bliss. “Firefly” swings with marimba samples, churning shakers and bubbly synth patterns until “Voodoo” rumbles with Afro-Cuban drums, exciting vocal work, Santur like pads and rolling electric stabs. Finally, multifaceted musician and producer Pablo Fierro provides his signature rhythm and shuffle to the “Whistleman” original with claves, rattling snares and a euphorically charged break.

Malki and Abou-Sabe formed as Bedouin in 2012 and have since established themselves as two of the most vital names in melodic house music. As producers, their mesmerizing synth-driven cuts have arrived on top tier labels like Crosstown Rebels, All Day I Dream and Supernature. Meanwhile, as performers, they continue to headline clubs and play at festivals across the globe including Burning Man, Extrema Outdoor Belgium, Kappa Futur Festival and Tomorrowland, as well as Coachella and III Points. Their Ibiza residency SAGA—now entering its fourth season—has gone on to become a renowned worldwide event series.

Bedouin’s Whistleman EP drops on Human By Default March 27, 2020.

Tracklist:
A1. Whistleman (Original Mix)
B1. Firefly (Original Mix)

“For the past nine years, Washington, D.C. transplant Garrett Lockhart has been acing a maze of acid tempo production with some major career traction along the way. Under his binary-derived onstage handle i_o (pronounced “eye-oh”), Lockhart is breathing new life into the old school with a fresh take on house and techno.” — LA WEEKLY

“…dubbed NGR 444, is described by Lockhart as a ‘more aggressive, uptempo EP, hitting at the rave sounds and hard dance vibes that became super popular in the UK, Europe and bigger cities, like New York.’ He notes NRG 444 is suited to be played during a mainroom, peak hour techo set…’ — FORBES

Following the release of ACID 444, the first installment of his three-part album 444, Los Angeles-based producer i_o returns today (February 7) with part two of the project for deadmau5’ label mau5trap—NRG 444.
Listen now at: https://mau5trap.ffm.to/nrg444

Watch the mau5trap presents: the story of i_o (mini-doc): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FJSSkQqAmM&feature=youtu.be

Named for an obscure New York City underground venue, 444 is a three-part series of four tracks each as a nod to the number. Each segment of the project tells the story of the different areas of dance music that defines io (Garrett Lockhart) as an artist. The first part — ACID 444(https://mau5trap.ffm.to/acid444)—reflecting i_o’s warehouse roots was released late 2019.

NRG is a more aggressive, uptempo collection of tracks suited to be played during a peak hour main room techno set. With the third part of 444 to be released later this year, expect songs on the more melodic and progressive side.

i_o is currently on tour to support 444. Check out his tour dates here:

DESTRUCTO’s party jam “Loaded” featuring Yo Gotti has gotten two new twists. Today, February 7, All My Friends has made available brand new remixes from Walker & Royce and SQWAD. Listen now here: https://empire.lnk.to/LoadedRemixes

New York natives Walker & Royce have been producing their signature groove-heavy deep house since 2011. Their innate dance floor intuition, combined with years of experience behind the decks, drives them to create music that isn’t just playable but also irresistible. More on the newcomer tip, France’s SQWAD—who are currently signed to Monstercat Records—are a producing duo who focus mainly on bass house and dubstep. Each brings their own flavor to “Loaded”—whose original version has received over three million streams to date—to amp up dancefloors world-wide.

To support the new music, DESTRUCTO heads to Chicago tonight to launch the ‘Twisted Tour’ at Sound-Bar. The tour—named for his latest single “Twisted”—will take him weekends this month and in March to many of the best dance clubs in Milwaukee, Boston, New York, Austin, LA and more. Dates follow below. The track samples Mobb Deep’s “Got It Twisted” from their 2004 album Amerikaz Nightmare. Produced by The Alchemist, the song samples the 1980’s Thomas Dolby hit “She Blinded Me with Science” which you can still hear elements of in this DESTRUCTO production.

MK And Sonny Fodera "One Night" Remixed by KC Lights, Nightlapse, Treasure Fingers Out Now -- MK U.S. Tour Dates by Brian Rapaport

MK AND SONNY FODERA

INCLUDING SIX TRACKS WITH REMIXES BY MK,
DOM DOLLA, KC LIGHTS (AS 6AM), NIGHTLAPSE, MIRKO DI FLORIO, AND TREASURE FINGERS

LISTEN NOW HERE

MK-one night remixes.jpg
MK - Sonny Fodera.jpg

Today, January 24, MK and Sonny Fodera have unveiled a six-track remix package for their latest single “One Night” featuring Raphaella.

The collection—out now on MK’s AREA10/Ultra Music—opens with an ‘MK Dub’ of the original, before Australian DJ and producer Dom Dolla steps up with a deep, progressive take. Next up, the ‘6am Remix’ from Glasgow’s KC Lights is the most soulful offering within the package, while Liverpool-based duo Nightlapse asserts themselves with a pounding rework centered around forceful kick drums. Closing things out, Italian Mirko Di Florio transforms “One Night” into an early morning dance floor groover and US favorite Treasure Fingers brings Raphaella’s vocal talents to the fore with his take on the original.

Listen now here: https://ffm.to/1night-rmx

“One Night” capped off another massively successful year for MK, who took his AREA10 brand to some of the world’s most sought-after party locations, including Creamfields, Parklife, Life Festival and Ibiza Rocks. In the US, he appeared at Gather Festival, Movement and clubs across Miami, Atlantic City and Las Vegas, while on the production front, he released progressive club hit “Body 2 Body” in June, a track that has since amassed over a million streams on YouTube alone followed up by summer smash “There For You” in collaboration with U.K duo Gorgon City which has racked up over fourteen million streams on Spotify.

In addition to the slew of new releases, MK’s new globally syndicated radio show AREA10 On Air airs every third Thursday at 8PM ET on SiriusXM Diplo’s Revolution (Channel 52). Fans can also listen to the radio show every month via Apple Podcasts. Meanwhile, he has announced his ‘Desire Tour’ for the US this spring, as well as details about the AREA10 Miami Music Week pool party happening March 19 at the National Hotel.

MK’s collaborator on “One Night” is Australia’s Sonny Fodera’s, another rising house music star. His last album, Vibrate out on his own imprint Solotoko and his fourth studio album Rise, both dominated the dancefloors during last summer’s season at some of Ibiza’s most recognizable clubs.

Bringing together a slew of lauded electronic artists, it’s little wonder the “One Night” remix package is so potent.

As the sun rose in the Caribbean on the morning of Thursday, January 9, over 3,000 cruisers aboard FRIENDSHIP (www.thefriendship.com) on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas gathered for a unique musical experience — DESTRUCTO’s dawn at sea party set ‘The Sermon.’ Joining the DJ & producer during the set which clocked in at just under 4 hours and 20 minutes was GRiZ for a live sax performance to Christopher Cross yacht rock classic “Ride Like the Wind” and b2b moments with Boys Noize, Bob Moses’ Jimmy Valance and Danny Daze, among others. It was stacked with unreleased and new material as well as catalogue favorites from all.
