KUKO OPENS A NEW PORTAL INTO HIS CREATIVE UNIVERSE WITH TIËSTO’S REMIX OF ‘VOICEMAIL’

KUKO offers another glimpse into his world with Tiësto’s remix of ‘Voicemail’ bringing a fresh perspective to one of his biggest singles.

KUKO reveals a new layer to his world, with Tiësto’s remix of “Voicemail”, welcoming one of the most influential artists in electronic music into his artistic universe. With the record representing a global electronic crossover moment, KUKO continues to bring hard techno to a broader audience without adapting the identity and intensity of the genre.

Built around KUKO’s signature hard techno foundation, Tiësto’s remix of “Voicemail” blends fast-paced kicks with melodic synths, resulting in a high energy dancefloor track. The voicemail sample adds a human and emotional dimension. Like much of KUKO’s work, the track is defined by this tension between brutal sound and a vulnerable emotional core. In “Voicemail”, these elements capture a sense of inner conflict while allowing the listener to experience emotional release.

“From the moment I heard this track I knew I needed to make a Tiësto remix. I loved the atmosphere and mood in it but it was missing the Tiësto feel. Now after remixing it I personally think the record is perfect.” Tiësto explains. The track has already been receiving rave reviews following him debuting it at EDC Las Vegas.

Alongside his relentless musical output, KUKO is currently touring internationally with his All Night Long format which is selling out across multiple cities worldwide. His career has already taken him to some of the world’s biggest stages including Dour, EDC Las Vegas, Kappa FuturFestival, Teletech and Tomorrowland.

Originally released in 2024, “Voicemail” received global success - amassing over six million streams, Tiësto’s 2026 remix creates a generational bridge between global dance legacy and the new hard techno icon KUKO, reflecting a newly shared cultural space between both genres. This remix falls during one of the most ambitious debut album campaigns in European electronic music as KUKO prepares to release CATHARSIS on 25th September.

Tiësto’s remix of “Voicemail” is available now on all streaming platforms.

KUKO is the Cologne-born artist translating hard techno into cinema, fashion, mythology, ritual and mass emotion. His foundation is underground rooms, industrial sound, warehouse culture and hard-music communities. His ambition is bigger than the classic DJ lane. He is building a complete artist system: sound, image, symbols, clothing, physical objects, live ritual, community and cultural positioning. The tension is simple and strong: brutal sound, vulnerable emotional core. That is what separates KUKO from a normal hard-techno act. He is not only scaling shows. He is building belief. He gives the audience something to hear, something to wear, something to collect, something to enter and something to belong to.

PEGASSI UNVEILS 'ASCENSION', THE TITLE TRACK OF HIS FORTHCOMING DEBUT EP

The Belgian producer shares the fan favourite that has anchored his live sets for two years and the first taste of what's to come.

Pegassi unveils 'Ascension', the title track of his forthcoming debut EP of the same name on Sweet Nothing, out today on all streaming platforms ahead of the full EP release on September 4th. Built on hard dance energy and driving bass, with UK garage-inspired percussion and hi-hats underneath a robotic vocal, the track has been a staple in his live sets for two years before making its way to record.

‘Ascension' marks the first chapter of Pegassi's debut EP on his own Sweet Nothing label, offering an early look at a project that spans different sides of his sound. The EP follows a year in which Pegassi delivered his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, a standout set at Awakenings, and premiered his own AV show at Tomorrowland, and arrives ahead of a run of shows that includes Nibirii Festival, a Sweet Nothing edition in Berlin and his show at The Edge in New York as well as ahead of his sold-out All Day Long show during Amsterdam Dance Event. The cowbell has become one of the most recognisable signatures of Pegassi's live sets, and his latest 'Strangers' remix, recently shared on SoundCloud, adds another entry to a catalogue that has been building momentum since 'Yoyoyo' first put him on the map.

Pegassi shares: "'Ascension' has been part of my sets for two years now. Every time I played it, the reaction told me it was ready, I just needed the right moment to release it. It feels like the right way to open this chapter”.

He has rapidly established himself as one of the leading names in the new wave of European rave music, with high-energy sets at Tomorrowland, Awakenings and EDC Las Vegas. 'Ascension' arrives as a clear statement of where his sound stands, and a first look at what the full EP will bring when it lands later this year.

'Ascension' is out now on all streaming platforms

Belgian electronic artist Pegassi, the creative alter ego of Sam Huybrecht, has become one of the most compelling new voices in Europe’s club circuit. Since breaking through with ‘Yoyoyo’ in 2023, he has built a coveted catalogue that includes ‘Spectral Bells’, ‘227kg’, ‘Bring It Back’, and ‘MOAA’, earning support from artists including KI/KI, VTSS, Tiësto, Anetha, SPFDJ, Marlon Hoffstadt, Boys Noize, DJ Gigola, and Hannah Laing. His rise has continued across major clubs and festivals including performances at Awakenings, Time Warp, Tomorrowland, Dour, Sziget, Intercell, Pitch, and Boiler Room, with further momentum across the US, South America, and Australia. Alongside his own releases and touring, Pegassi is building Sweet Nothing, his label and event series, as a home for the sound, community, and creative instincts driving his next chapter.

CERA KHIN MAKES HER MUTATE DEBUT WITH NEW SINGLE “I DON’T DATE HUMANS”

Tunisian-born artist unleashes a high-energy hard house record, marking her first release on Insomniac’s MUTATE imprint

 Eclectic producer Cera Khin debuts on Insomniac's MUTATE label with her new single, “I Don’t Date Humans,” the first offering from her forthcoming EP expected later this year. The cut is a hard house track blending her signature goth undertones with raw dancefloor pressure.

Based in Barcelona, Cera Khin is a Tunisia-born producer who has been immersed in club culture since relocating to Berlin in 2014. Steered by an empathic heart and a defiant ethos about adhering to genres, she's a free-spirit known for creating transcendental experiences driven by hard techno, bounce, acid, hardgroove, schranz, gabber, psytrance, tek, and experimental sounds stemming from her mantra: "I play whatever the fuck I want."

Driven by high-pitched, unearthly vocal hooks, “I Don’t Date Humans” decisively rules out human suitors. This otherworldly theme is anchored by bursts of breakbeat percussion, deep rolling sub-bass, intermittent acid licks, and punchy, hollow synth stabs.

Cera's psychology background has made her an advocate for mental health in the music industry through her Technomentalhealth initiative to raise awareness around touring burnout. She spearheads her own labels LazyTapes and the recently launched CK777 Recordings, both independent underground music labels that release music via tapes and vinyls.

Her electrifying live sets have been captured on Boiler Room x Glitch Festival (521k views), HÖR BERLIN (603k views), Awakenings Festival 2024, and a full schranz set on the UNREAL stage at Monegros published this week. She has upcoming tour dates at the MUTATE showcase at Echostage, Escape Halloween, Club Vinyl, Ministerium Club, Zorlu PSM Touche (Turkey), Kilomètre25, BlackWorks Italy at Sound Department, 4 My People Open Air at Edelfettwerk (Hamburg),

“I'm excited to release my first track on Insomniac's Mutate label. I Don't Hate Humans is a playful track inspired by a lifelong infatuation with vampires, developed from my love of movies such as Blade. I've been playing it at all my recent shows, such as Unreal at Monegros or Baum Festival, and it always goes so hard! I hope you love it as much as I do.” - Cera Khin
