NICOLE MOUDABER DELIVERS GROOVE-FUELLED NEW SINGLE ‘BODY AND SOUL’

OUT NOW ON LAYTON GIORDANI'S MADMINDS

Global music queen Nicole Moudaber returns to the release radar with infectious new track ‘Body and Soul’ – out now via good friend Layton Giordani's rapidly rising imprint MADMINDS.

Marking almost exactly one year since Giordani launched the New York-based imprint in partnership with Armada Music, 'Body And Soul' sees Moudaber deliver a groove-laden cut that feels right at home on the label

Built around playful, funky female vocals, stabbing synth lines and an ever-escalating energy, 'Body And Soul' is a masterclass in dancefloor tension. Nicole layers rolling percussion and driving low-end grooves beneath infectious vocal hooks, creating a track that continually builds momentum while retaining the irresistible swing and personality that have become synonymous with her productions.

This release also celebrates a friendship forged through years on the global club circuit. Having shared stages and delivered numerous acclaimed back-to-back performances together around the world, Nicole and Layton have developed a mutual respect behind the decks. 'Body And Soul' now brings that connection full circle as Nicole makes her debut on MADMINDS with one of the label's most groove-led releases to date.

“This one has been living in my box for months. I’ve been testing it at selected shows and waiting for the right moment. When I finally sent it to Layton, I knew he’d get it. Ten minutes later he messaged me saying he wanted it for his label. The vocal nods to that classic New York house sound, while the groove keeps it fresh, sexy and built for today’s dance floor. Nothing about this release was forced. It all happened naturally, found the right home and now it’s finally ready for the world “ Nicole Moudaber

Arriving at the height of summer festival season, 'Body And Soul' is primed to become a standout weapon in DJ sets worldwide, delivering the perfect combination of groove, tension and peak-time impact.

KASKADE, BOBBY HARVEY AND SAM HARPER UNITE ON NEW SINGLE “SATISFY YOU”

THE FINAL SINGLE FROM KASKADE’S FORTHCOMING ORIGIN// ALBUM BLENDS MODERN HOUSE, UKG INFLUENCES AND SULTRY VOCALS FOR A CLUB-READY CUT

Eight-time GRAMMY-nominated producer and electronic mainstay Kaskade takes the final step toward his forthcoming album ORIGIN// with “Satisfy You,” a new vocal-forward house collaboration with UK artist, DJ, producer and songwriter Bobby Harvey and writer/vocalist Sam Harper.

Built around modern house production with UKG influences, “Satisfy You” brings together Kaskade’s polished dancefloor sensibility with Harvey’s forward-thinking production and Harper’s sultry, commanding vocals. The result is a sleek, club-ready record that balances infectious house energy with a distinctly contemporary edge.

“Satisfy You” arrives as another standout collaboration within the ORIGIN// rollout, a project defined by Kaskade’s willingness to explore new sounds and creative partnerships while maintaining the emotional core that has shaped his catalog. Across the album’s singles, Kaskade has moved fluidly through melodic house, progressive dance, bass-driven production and crossover electronic music, using each collaboration to reveal another side of the forthcoming project.

The release follows a run of singles that have each marked a different point in the ORIGIN// evolution. “Meet Again,” with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani, became the official EDC Las Vegas 2026 anthem, while “Comes Back Around” with BUNT. leaned into a more melodic, crossover direction. “A Little Bit” with Crankdat pushed Kaskade into bass-heavy territory for the first time, followed by “Runaway” with GLOCKENBACH and Kaitlin Aragon and “Hear Me Now” with Wooli and MAXINE.

With “Satisfy You,” Kaskade closes the pre-album single rollout with a track that connects his signature melodic instincts to the sounds and influences shaping modern club music. The collaboration with Harvey and Harper further underscores the expansive creative world behind ORIGIN//, bringing UK house and garage sensibilities into Kaskade’s evolving sonic palette.

The single also arrives following the debut of Kaskade’s ORIGIN// live concept at Coachella 2026. The ambitious new production introduced nine new songs alongside monolithic staging, custom visuals, large-scale pyro and a cinematic presentation designed to bridge Kaskade’s celebrated catalog with the next chapter of his career.

With “Satisfy You,” the road to ORIGIN// reaches its final single destination - setting the stage the forthcoming album and the full realization of Kaskade’s latest creative era.

Kaskade, born Ryan Raddon, has solidified his place as one of the most influential figures in electronic music. An eight-time GRAMMY Award nominee, his accolades include a nomination as part of Kx5, his collaboration with fellow producer deadmau5.

In April 2026, Kaskade debuted his new live concept ORIGIN // Origin // at Coachella, delivering one of the festival’s most talked-about performances. The set marked a defining creative moment - featuring the debut of nine new songs, a rare move at that scale, alongside his most ambitious production yet. The performance also served as the live announcement of his forthcoming album, signaling a new chapter that bridges the emotional depth of his recent work with a forward-facing, large-scale vision.

In December 2025, Kaskade released undux, his most personal album to date, marking a return to introspective songwriting and emotional storytelling. The project re-centered his artistic identity and laid the groundwork for his current evolution.

Kaskade’s legacy continued its upward trajectory in 2023 when he and deadmau5 graced the cover of Billboard and headlined SXSW. Their groundbreaking show at the LA Memorial Coliseum in 2022 set a record for the largest single-day concert headlined by an electronic artist in North America, according to Pollstar, with Billboard also naming it the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of that year.

In 2024, Kaskade expanded his presence across major global platforms. In February, he made history as the first-ever in-game DJ at the Super Bowl, performing in front of over 123.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. In March, he was named Best Male Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio EDM Awards, while Kx5 took home Best New Group. In May, he became the first-ever starting grid DJ at a Formula 1 race in Miami.

His momentum in the sports and live event space continued throughout 2024 with performances at the X Games in Ventura, a post-Phillies game set in July, and a LIV Golf tournament. He also made surprise appearances at Coachella, joining John Summit and Alison Wonderland in 2024, and completed a 3-hour back-to-back set with Idris Elba in 2025.

Kaskade’s fanbase is nothing short of evangelical, driven by his ability to evolve while maintaining a deeply emotional core. Across decades of output, he has consistently redefined the boundaries of dance music, earning recognition as one of the genre’s original curve-benders.

HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR RELEASES DANSEUR PT 2

THE SECOND EP COMPLETES THE FULL EIGHT-TRACK 
DANSEUR PROJECT

OUT NOW via STRATASONIC RECORDS

Hercules & Love Affair today releases Danseur PT 2 via Stratasonic Records, completing the full eight-track Danseur project. Led by Andy Butler, the second installment features Faris Badwan of The Horrors on “Pirouette” and “Heaven,” Hips & Lips on “Night on the Town,” and Albrecht Van Doornik on “Flip Flop.”

Danseur Tracklist:
1. My Journey (ft. Hips & Lips)
2. I Get High (ft. Hips & Lips)
3. The Eyes of Love (ft. Hips & Lips)
4. Boy (ft. Hips & Lips)
5. Pirouette (ft. Faris Badwan)
6. Heaven (ft. Faris Badwan)
7. Night on the Town (ft. Hips & Lips)
8. Flip Flop (ft. Albrecht Van Doornik)

Across Danseur, Butler draws from the clubs, artists, and figures that shaped queer nightlife on both sides of the Atlantic. The project channels the worlds of London’s Blitz and Taboo, while the PT 1 cover of Book of Love’s “Boy” pays tribute to New York’s BoyBar. On PT 2, “Night on the Town” looks further back, telling the story of two women living openly in the 1960s, and “Pirouette” closes the project in tribute to visionary producer SOPHIE and Butler’s longtime collaborator Aerea Negrot, who passed within months of one another.

The history informing the music also runs through the physical edition’s liner notes and imagery. Danseur is dedicated to Taboo resident DJ and acclaimed queer photographer and filmmaker Jeffrey Hinton, whose personal archive of late-’80s and early-’90s nightlife appears throughout the package. Images from spaces and scenes including Heaven and Alternative Miss World survive in part as scans of printed photographs, giving the collection the intimacy of a personal record from inside the culture.

Hinton and Princess Julia—one of the scene’s most vivid figures—each join Butler in Q&As about the queer underground’s relationship with electronic music, while Butler’s accompanying photography references portraits from the Blitz era. An additional Q&A with Pet Shop Boys considers how synthesizer music transformed nightlife and the culture around it. Together, these elements connect the record to the people who lived the history behind it, bringing their memories and images into dialogue with the present.

Like last year’s Someone Else Is Calling project, Danseur was created with Elín Ey of Hips & Lips and Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London, extending the chemistry the trio found through their shared love of acid house, disco, and darker electronic music. Badwan and Van Doornik expand that world on PT 2, helping carry the project from the club-facing immediacy of its first half toward its final, more reflective moments.

For nearly two decades, Hercules & Love Affair has used dance music to explore queer identity, intimacy, loss, and collective release. Danseur gathers those threads into one body of work: a record shaped not only by the mythology of formative nightlife institutions, but by the testimony and archives of the people who made them matter.

Hercules & Love Affair’s Danseur, both PT 1 and PT 2, are out now.
