Afterlife meets K-pop. Anyma brought LISA into his ÆDENverse — two worlds colliding into something cinematic and future-forward. Premiered at Coachella Mainstage with LISA's live surprise appearance. The opener you didn't see coming.
25 years of A State of Trance — and Armin picks this moment to go full tech house. Darker, groovier, more muscular than anything he's dropped in years. Road-tested at Ultra and Coachella, it cuts through mainstages and clubs alike. The hook is relentless.
Two years as a secret weapon in Beltran's sets — the ID that everyone was hunting. The 1982 Flirts classic flipped into a low-slung Tech House weapon. Months of Shazams and "what's this track?" comments before it finally landed. Worth every second of the wait.
The 100th release on tszr — and they went all in. A track born from 20 years of friendship, built on a legendary S-Express sample and Chaka Khan's voice. Peggy Gou, Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, Jamie Jones all dropped it before it even came out. That says everything.
Melbourne's underground king flips the classic Richard Vission & Static Revenger vocal into a filthy bass house weapon. Luciana's "I Like That" hook never sounded more dangerous. The kind of club record that makes you turn around to ask who's DJing.
Lorenzo and Kah-lo — two artists who understand exactly where the line between confidence and arrogance sits, and live permanently on the right side of it. Swaggering, infectious, built for the moment when the room decides it owns the night.
Two dance music heavyweights debut together with a cosmic sci-fi trip about waiting for aliens to rescue us from this timeline. Chrome synths, warehouse basslines, Tiga's ice-cool voice. Confidence, love, lasers, and staying cool when everyone else is sweating.
The long-teased ID that had fans chasing clips for months finally dropped. Hypnotic vocal tag, big horn stabs, sweaty peak-time pressure. Chris Lake spots the next generation right — ATRIP's Glastonbury, Coachella and ARC Festival year crystallised in a single track.
FISHER's label doesn't miss, and Noizu doesn't miss. A relentless groove machine that builds pressure from the first bar without ever letting go. One of those tracks that sounds inevitable — like it always existed and the DJ just found it.
Started as a Melbourne secret weapon. Spread globally via set clips before anyone knew the title. "Bitches talking shit" vocal hook, rolling progressive foundation, 140 BPM peak-time menace. The festival anthem of the 2026 season — and the last thing you need to hear before the lights come on.
