KENN COLT LANDS ON PYRO RECORDS WITH THE RELEASE OF PROGRESSIVE WEAPON ‘NEVER ENOUGH’ WITH FUTURE IDENTITY

German label PYRO Records opens 2026 with ‘Never Enough’, a new collaboration from Kenn Colt and Future Identity. Sitting comfortably between deep house, melodic textures and afro-influenced rhythms, the track offers a considered and immersive take on club-focused music, built as much for atmosphere as it is for movement.

Driven by warm basslines, understated percussion and carefully layered melodies, ‘Never Enough’ unfolds gradually. Its strength lies in restraint — allowing groove and emotion to develop naturally rather than relying on obvious drops or exaggerated dynamics. Subtle afro elements bring a sense of momentum and warmth, while the melodic framework gives the track a quietly uplifting character that works across both intimate club spaces and larger floors.

Belgian DJ, producer and label boss Kenn Colt made waves in 2025. Releasing on labels like My Other Side of the Moon, Soave Dusk and his very own Feels Like Home Records imprint, Kenn Colt has been building momentum with some awesome tracks, spanning across afro house, progressive house and now Latin house – the Belgian producer extraordinaire showed his versatility in 2025. Back for more in 2026, Kenn Colt aims to keep firing on all cylinders and ‘Never Enough’ is the perfect dancefloor weapon to kick off this year.

Future Identity brings a complementary approach rooted in melody and emotion. The Amsterdam-born but Dubai-based producer, whose releases have already passed the 10 million streams mark, is known for translating mood and feeling into sound. On ‘Never Enough’, his influence can be heard in the track’s melodic direction and sense of progression, aligning with his belief that music often communicates what words cannot.

LAUREN MIA AND GABRIELLE ROMAN CRAFT DRIVING DANCE ANTHEM "RHYTHM OF REFUGE"

2026’s inaugural Halcyon Label release explores love as sanctuary through ethereal vocals and a deeply personal production

Multi-disciplinary artist and producer Lauren Mia starts off the new year by delivering her most intimate vocal production to date, "Rhythm of Refuge", a powerful collaboration between two women - featuring vocalist Gabrielle Roman. Released via her own imprint, Halcyon Label, the deeply personal collaboration explores love as sanctuary, weaving together ethereal vocals with Lauren's signature emotive production to create a profound anthem on devotion and surrender.

"Rhythm of Refuge" represents a sonic love story, capturing the essence of a love that saves, heals and anchors. The track illustrates the kind of connection that feels both ancient and familiar - through the marriage of Lauren's intricate sound design and Gabrielle's evocative lyricism, the production creates a space where the two artists' essence find harmony. 

"Rhythm of Refuge is a love story in sound. We tried to illustrate a story about a love which we all want. A love that saves you, the kind that feels ancient and familiar, the kind that pulls you back into yourself when you lose your way," shares Lauren Mia. "It is about loving someone so deeply that their presence becomes your breath when you are drowning and the fire that warms you when you turn cold. They become the rhythm you return to, the calm you fall into, the water that cools you when you are burning. It is devotion, surrender, and safety woven into two heartbeats that become one. This song is a tribute to that kind of love, I think a love we all want and hope to have in this lifetime."

The collaboration between Lauren and Gabrielle emerged from an immediate creative connection, with the two artists forming a deep friendship alongside their musical partnership. The track evolved through countless studio sessions and iterations, with both artists investing tremendous energy into crafting a piece that captured the full emotional weight of their vision.

"Gabrielle and I are collaborators, colleagues, dear friends and soul sisters. It was love at first sight and I knew together we would create a really powerful piece. And we did," continues Lauren. "We spent so much time on this record together in the studio and other times separately. So many versions of the track. The track evolved over and over until we came to where it is now, where we all feel this part of the story is whole.”

Gabrielle Roman brings raw vulnerability to the track, her lyrics exploring the transformative power of finding someone who quiets the internal storm and provides genuine refuge from chaos.

"Rhythm of Refuge is about the one person who can actually quiet the storm you carry in your heart. The one who makes your whole system stop bracing for impact and who pulls you back to yourself without even trying," shares Gabrielle Roman. "Being close to them isn't a preference anymore; it's the only place where you feel steady again, where everything inside you finally stops shaking. With them, the world stops feeling like a battlefield and starts feeling survivable. I wrote the lyrics because that kind of love reshaped me, and Lauren's instrumental gave me the world to write it in. Her vision opened the door, and I stepped into it with the story. Underneath all the poetry, it's the kind of devotion that comes from living through your own wreckage and finally finding someone who doesn't add to your chaos, but instead anchors you through it."

The release continues Halcyon Label's mission to showcase emotionally intelligent electronic music that speaks to both mind and heart. Following the label's inaugural release "Sapiosensual" and subsequent releases including "Only You" with REYUS, "Rhythm of Refuge" reinforces the imprint's commitment to music that creates genuine connection and emotional resonance.

Lauren Mia began her journey with music production in 2016, quickly establishing herself as an up-and-comer to watch in driving, and dynamic dance music. Her trajectory from performing alongside icons like Adriatique, Mind Against, Kaskade, Deadmau5, and Stephan Bodzin to launching her own imprint exemplifies both technical expertise and artistic vision. Her debut album 'RE:BIRTH' in late 2023 garnered support from industry titans including Tiësto, ANNA, Innellea, Kevin De Vries, Joris Voorn, Camelphat, Tale of Us, Lane 8, Vintage Culture, Above & Beyond, Fideles, and Argy.

Launched in 2025, Halcyon Label continues to evolve – with "Rhythm of Refuge" standing as a testament to the power of authentic collaboration and the universal human need for connection. With each release, Lauren Mia brings her divine feminine energy to the forefront of electronic music, crafting soundscapes that challenge conventions while creating deep emotional connections with listeners worldwide.
