NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS MESSIE AND JUNI DEBUT ON HARD RECS WITH JERSEY-CLUB FUSION TRACK "B2B"

New Zealand producers MESSIE and Juni release a high-energy, UKG and bass blend featuring English rapper sbk via HARD Recs

New Zealand’s fast-rising phenom MESSIE and emerging artist Juni debut on HARD Recs with a new single. Recruiting English rapper and producer sbk, "B2B" is a jersey club-powered bass track reinforced with an unapologetically hostile energy.

 MESSIE is a New Zealand producer whose extensive history playing drums has equipped her with the rhythmic instincts to excel in club culture. In the electronic sphere, MESSIE has built a reputation for sweat-inducing tracks infused with breaks, jungle, jersey club, ghetto tech, baile funk and various global influences.

Based in Auckland, Juni is an emerging New Zealand name specializing in UK garage and bassline.

In “B2B,” sbk’s grime verses carry a raw, confrontational edge, with each bar building on the last. That intensity is mirrored in a syncopated blend of UKG and club music, weaving together murky atmospherics, breathy textures, gunshot samples, rattling fills, and buzzing dissonance that keeps the momentum climbing.

MESSIE has released music alongside Joy Anonymous and Redlight, and has been tapped for remixes by Fred Again..., Charlotte Plank, and KUČKA. Her music has earned radio plays from George FM. She has upcoming setS at Jazz Cafe Festival & Boomtown, following high profile shows at Strawberry Fields, Two Minds, Lollapalooza, All Point East, fabric, Boiler Room. She's provided tour support for Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal. Juni's tracks have received support from BBC Radio 1, Select UK, RTE 2FM. sbk has worked with JME, Wiley, Boy Better Know, and has performed at SXSW and Paris Fashion Week.

'’'B2B' brings a certain pocket of energy and groove that instantly catches your attention. Each section layers elements that play on the perfect amount of tension and release that have been tried and tested to get a crowd moving. This track merges influences and genres such as Jersey Club, Garage and more to match the raw energy and tone of featured artist 'sbk'.” - MESSIE

ODD MOB AND OMNOM REUNITE AS HYPERBEAM FOR NEW SINGLE “TAKE YOU THERE” ON INSOMNIAC RECORDS

Australian producer Odd Mob and Los Angeles-based house artist OMNOM today return to Insomniac Records as their collaborative HYPERBEAM project for their latest single, "Take You There”. The dark, hypnotic tech-house track captures the pair’s signature ability to push club and festival sounds into uncharted territory.

 “Take You There” builds its otherworldly atmosphere around gritty baselines, alternating synth drones, punch drums, guttural low-end pulses, and an arresting vocal hook that loops and echoes throughout the track. Expertly textured and relentlessly driving, the single showcases the chemistry between two of house music’s most distinctive producers while delivering a track designed for late-night dancefloors and festival stages alike.

HYPERBEAM previously graced Insomniac Records last fall with their track “System”, a dark, bass heavy rework of M.I.A. 's GRAMMY-nominated classic “Paper Planes”. The track followed their inaugural EP, ‘The Unexplained’, and only further cemented the duo’s commitment to showcasing their club-ready sensibilities.

Brisbane’s Odd Mob is an ARIA Gold-certified producer whose creativity continues to make waves across dance music through a prolific catalog of original club tracks, edits, remixes, and bootlegs. His forward-thinking approach has established him as a standout force in the global house scene, and is currently on a European and North American Tour with stops on main stage of Tomorrowland, UNVRS,, HARD Summer, ÎLESONIQ, Outside Lands, ARC, III Points, Osheaga and an upcoming Australia 2.0 headline Tour in the Fall.

OMNOM has built one of the most distinctive catalogs in modern house music. His ascent has been reflected across the charts, including a number-one Beatport record in 2023 for “Losing Control” with Odd Mob, numerous top-five placements, and a feature on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. OMNOM continues his 2026 run with upcoming performances at Lollapalooza, Marquee Skydeck New York, Marquee Nightclub Las Vegas, Splash House, and The Concourse Project.

With both artists anticipating a full slate of touring ahead, Odd Mob and OMNOM are gearing up for HYPERBEAM sets at HARD Summer and Outside Lands. With “Take You There”, the duo once again demonstrate their ability to bridge underground club sensibilities with the scale and energy of the world’s biggest festival stages, marking another chapter in the evolving collaboration between two of dance music’s most dynamic artists.

ALEX FARELL ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM ‘YOUNGEST IN CHARGE’ WITH A THE FIRST SINGLE ‘CLUB ACID’ THIS JULY

A ten-track journey across all the facets of techno and rave culture from one of the scene's fastest-rising producers from Liverpool

Alex Farell announces his debut album ‘Youngest In Charge’ on the 24th of July to coincide with the first single ‘Club Acid’. The album arrives on 30th of October 2026 via Sara Landry’s HEKATE imprint. Spanning ten tracks, the record showcases the full breadth of his evolving sound, drawing together hard dance and techno with influences of trance, acid and psytrance into a cohesive body of work built around movement, tension and peak-time energy.

Alex is one of the youngest DJ’s in the music scene, with an intro to music like no other, he started out DJ’ing at home at just 12 years old, landing some of his first shows at 14, legally chaperoned by his parents and agent. Now at still only 19, he has played some of the world’s best clubs and festivals including Creamfields, Parklife, Blackstone Warehouse, Warehouse Project and Terminal V Festival.

The first of 3 singles to be released is the warehouse-focused ‘Club Acid’. A track that blends rave-inspired acid techno with fluid grooves, evolving melodic modulation and relentless forward momentum. A track that was made with newfound inspiration when he was signed to some of his favourite labels, he wanted to create something that some of his idols would play, and they did just that. “It’s one of my favourite tracks to play on a big stage, as it really gets the crowd going wild” adds Alex.

Rather than simply collecting peak-time club records, ‘Youngest In Charge’ presents a producer confidently refining his artistic identity. Every track balances underground intensity with cinematic

depth while demonstrating why Alex Farell has rapidly become one of the most exciting names emerging from the harder edge of contemporary electronic music.
