Thomas Xavier is a master of the house and tech house groove, already proving his talent on sensational tracks like “Funky Skunk” and “Peekaboo”. His music has been widely received, pulling over 100k streams via DSP’s in under 6 weeks.

Now, he’s back with yet another electrifying tech house EP titled ‘Good Dome‘ signed to his Pharoah Phoenix imprint. “Flex Yo Freak,” wastes no time bringing infectious house vibes, moving nicely with a rumbling bass line and a groovy mood. “Good Dome” builds upon the energy of the previous track, with ferocious house bass leads and synth stabs that renders the single perfect for a peak moment in a set. Xavier is amazing at blending a variety vocal samples with different synth sounds that not only keeps you on your toes, excited about what to expect next, but also will keep your body glued to the dance floor.

Thomas Xavier adds, “Good Dome & Flex Yo Freak are two songs that express my journey into the depths of life.  To foster a beginner’s mind, and expose your limiting beliefs… while getting weird… Priceless.”

The long-awaited and highly requested collaboration from Martin Garrix and Zedd has been on the horizon for quite some time, and today it’s finally here — “Follow.”

With a beautiful piano intro that is reminiscent of Zedd’s older chord progressions, the song erupts into a heavily textured, synth-laden refrain before heading straight into the four-on-the-floor drop. Between the chord progression, melody, synth work, and drums, each artist’s identity is perfectly on display with this fantastic collaboration while also making room for singer-songwriter Emily Warren’s sultry vocals halfway through.

Maintaining a close friendship over the last couple of years, the collaboration has been long overdue with Garrix and Zedd talking about doing a song together for nine years. Understandably, the hype around the track started to build massively over the past couple of weeks after serious teasing from both sides. Fans who attended Garrix’s show at Lollapalooza Chile last week were in for a treat, while he premiered the track while FaceTiming Zedd.

As a cherry on top, Garrix will play the track in his Ultra Miami Mainstage set tonight, as the track will surely be a staple track in his sets for the shows to come, while Zedd will treat his audience at Beyond Wonderland with a live spin to celebrate the release.

In 2005, TATE SEDAR was on Garageband at every Apple store in and around his hometown of San Francisco. There, he found his passion for music production. What he didn’t know then though was it would take years to find skill in it, all while trying to grow up. In adolescence he continued to juggle life with music, school and jobs. Beyond production classes & self-taught basics, he spent high school nights in the early 2010s developing his skills with little advanced resources available at the time. The inability to sound professional brewed perfectionism into college, leaving tracks like “Find a Way” (from 2012) unfinished. After the deaths of Tim Bergling and Pierce Fulton, SEDAR saw parallels in his mental health. This led him to reestablish a drive to refine his skillset, tackle shortcomings and lower expectations of himself since 2020.

Today, we are thrilled to premiere his now finished single, “Find A Way“, along with a music video for you to watch. It’s nothing short of amazing, as SEDAR welcomes you into his beautiful, whimsical world the minute you press play. “Find A Way” carries big electro-pop energy, highlighting SEDAR’s strength not only with chords, but with sounds as well. Whether you hear this in your playlist or on the main stages at festivals this summer, you can count on feeling the incessant urge to dance your way thought the entire song.

The analogous structure of SEDAR’s life is shown in the video co-created with Chris Adams (shot for Insomniac & Goldenvoice events) and Eugene Luu (Armada, Pyro & Eclypse). It follows the discourse of mental health issues in the production career, observed by his producer peers first-hand and in the passing of Bergling & Fulton. SEDAR states: “I think it’s time to be open about it.”

House music’s producer of the moment, John Summit, has launched his own record and event label — Off the Grid Records.

This move comes during a massively successful era for the Chicago-based DJ and producer behind a plethora of top house hits including “Deep End,” “Make Me Feel,” “Human” and most recently, “La Danza.” It’s a natural progression, as he shifts into a tastemaker and curator role in the industry.

Summit shares of the new venture:

so stoked to finally announce my own record label/event brand. as my sound has grown to be all things house & techno, i knew it was time to make my own imprint with nothing off limits.

The label’s sold out launch party is slated for March 26 in Miami, rounding out Miami Music Week. What’s next for the label? We can only assume an event series that takes Summit’s dedicated fanbase “off the grid.”

See below and stay tuned for more from Off the Grid Records!

Nashville’s Super Duper truly lives up to his name in all that he does. He has a impeccable talent creating fresh and invigorating songs in the studio that only seem to leave us in awe of all he’s capable of. His latest release, “here with you“, is another sensational track in his repertoire of releases, one that we can’t turn off.

The minute you press play on “here with you,” you are whisked away into the whimsical, beautiful world Super Duper has created and you won’t want to leave. He refines everything to love about his singular sound, from dusty drum breaks to stretched vocal samples, warping subtle elements into electronic-inflected joy.

Super Duper explains, “The concept of the song is about being content and trying to focus on the silver lining of life. The production came together after writing a piano ballad and then speeding up all the parts. It gave a very slow melancholy song lots of energy but kept the emotion intact. Balancing between emotional and energetic is always a sweet spot for me.”

Leondis, also known as Alex, is a 19-year old producer/DJ from South Florida who has a great gift at fusing together high-energy piano and catchy vocal chops to create euphoric, yet melodic, summer-time ready hits. At just 19 years of age, Leondis has crushed official remixes for the biggest artists in the music industry such as The Chainsmokers, Two Friends, and Cheat Codes and his music is supported by David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Loud Luxury, Dzeko, & many more. 

Now, he’s back with another remix fresh off of the presses for the biggest act in dance music, The Chainsmokers, and their single “High“. Yet again, he infuses the original with his signature sound that presents “High” as an uplifting, house anthem that is sure to be rocking the dance floors and festivals this year. Already receiving support from Alex Pall & Drew Taggart live, the remix has been The Chainsmokers’ remix of choice in their sets, including the Super Bowl LVI Tailgate Kickoff, EDC Mexico, and more. 

Here’s what Leondis had to say about it:

“These were the artists that inspired me to start creating music back when I was 16, so it’s a crazy full circle moment being able to work on a record with them. I have been manifesting landing an official remix with them everyday for the last few years, so although it feels crazy, it also feels right. This remix is the just the tip of the iceberg of new music to come and I really can’t wait to share everything I’ve been working on with the world.”

It’s nice to see the Korsakov Music’s label manager AL/SO branching out with his own tunes recently. With his collab tracks on Viper with Synth System hitting almost as hard as “Party Every Day” and now his sliced up neuro dual singles “House Party” and “Epic” on Boomslang, the mad Dutchman is proving he’s more than a one-trick dancefloor pony.

Azores-based producer Impex is a relative newcomer but has already put his stamp on Europe with his throwback neuro vibes and epic synths. Hence the track name, apparently. Impex had tracks on fellow islanders Tenerife-based label Histeria as well as Promo Audio Recordings and Sine Function Music before featuring on last year’s Korsakov Future Stars compilation with his dizzyingly intricate track “Methadone.” He also put on some of Protugal’s only D&B club nights Raving Panda and Qo with True Bass and FilthyNoize, respectively, before doing a bit of touring in 2021 and, like many artists during the COVID lockdowns, turning to production full-time. This is where we find “House Party” and “Epic.”

One might think that “House Party” would be right down the line of dancefloor, what with its name and being half Al/SO’s track, but with the chugger of a sub synth and deceptively simple beat, it more than straddles the gap between party stomp and neurofunk. Add an eerie and similarly crunchy main synth and some major wind-up breaks, and “House Party” has that tough-to-achieve balance that will keep the dance moving whilst allowing to the neuroheads to keep their screwfaces on tight.

The fun bits of “Epic,” our YEDM premiere today, are really in the beat, despite so much going on above the bass. The echoey, starburst drumline conjures late-era techstep/early neuro vibes along the lines of “26 Bass” by Scorpio vibes (yes, that is one of the most obscure D&B references you’ll ever hear, thank you). The synth and midlines are neuro-tinged theatrics that bring a lovely sense of impending doom to the track while again a winding buildup drops into more “epic” chaos, letting the dance know there’s nothing to fear but eardrum failure at that perfectly loud, static-tinged first notes.

AL/SO and Impex seem to have lit upon a pretty winning formula with their collab, and Boomslang were smart to snap up “House Party” and “Epic” to reap the benefits. With their wide-reaching appeal and now wide-reaching release partners, there’s no way both of these tracks won’t play on festie stages worldwide this spring and summer.

The “Epic”/”House Party” single drops on Boomslang Recordings this Friday, March 25. Pre-order/save here
