QLANK’S NEWEST BASS HOUSE TRACK, "THERAPY," MARKS HIS TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO INSOMNIAC’S IN / ROTATION

The Detroit-bred producer sends a positive message with his follow-up single on Insomniac’s offshoot imprint.

Detroit-based house music producer Qlank returns to IN / ROTATION with his latest single, “Therapy,” dropping on September 17th.

 

Low-end specialist Qlank Therapy” has been spreading joy on Insomniac’s IN / ROTATION since first surfacing on the label in 2019. He’s paying the label another visit with an extremely potent bass house track that has been a staple in his live sets—and


it’s easy to see why. Marked by squawking synth stabs, dissonant fills, muted rimshots, trippy bleeps, and murky overtones, the track’s spacious, yet locked-in rhythms have all the trappings to entice festival and club crowds alike. Shrilling accents and manipulated vocal loops echo over the percussion, adding a world full of depth behind the distinct rhythms, cutting through with an almost eerie, atmospheric allure.

 

Behind the raw intensity of “Therapy” lies a deeper message of empathy and solidarity. Qlank peels back the layers to reveal the positive meaning behind its infectious one-link vocal hook: “This song has been a staple in my sets. The meaning behind it is: As humans, we should always help one another, as some of us are blessed with abundance and health while others are not. You never know what someone is going through until you ask and offer help.”

 

Qlank is a house music producer specializing in bass-heavy influences and cutting-edge sound design, which are both backed by his undying love for classic house music. He has released several EPs on the label since 2019, drawing support from prominent music publications including This Song Is Sick, EDM Identity, Glasse Factory, Stage Hoppers, Find Your Sounds, The Music Essentials, and EKM. He recently wrapped up an exciting and successful Spring 2024 tour, where he hit the road in support of Dr. Fresch.

 

In Qlanks’ already impressive and growing discography, “Therapy” stands as another expertly crafted bass house cut that will bring people on the dancefloor one step closer together.

Qlank is a Detroit bred house artist with his own unique but cohesive style combining bass heavy sounds and traditional house elements. Amongst several self releases, this Icon Collective Graduate has also released on larger labels such as Spinnin Records, Night Bass, Confession, In-Rotation, Box Of Cats, Bite This, Pinnacle Records, Noir Sur Blanc and World Famous Headquarters proving that his sound is meant to be heard on a more massive scale. Although his roots have been based in house music for many years, his new sound has also been influenced by dark and industrial bass music. With this edgy fusion sound, Qlank is absolutely an artist to be on the look out for!

HARD DANCE PRODUCER TONY JUNIOR TEAMS UP WITH MC HUGHIE BABE FOR HIS DEBUT ON BASSCON RECORDS, "909"

The Dutch producer’s skillful blend of hardcore and hard techno shines through with his latest release.

Tony Junior makes a powerful statement with his debut track on Basscon Records, arriving in the shape of his latest single, “909,” laced with the vocals from rave icon MC Hughie Babe, set to be released on September 13th.


Teaming up with legendary MC Hughie Babe (famous from his work with ‘90s DJ collective Klubbheads), 909” is a fierce slice of hard techno, blending a nostalgic

‘90s-style vocal hook with wall-rattling kicks, fierce acid licks, fat rave tabs, and pulsing basslines. A hardcore switch-up brings the energy to critical mass, staying true to Tony Junior’s signature collection of no-nonsense tracks.

Reflecting on the track, Tony Junior says, “‘909’ is my take on what I stand for: No holds barred, hard party music!”

 

Based out of Utrecht, Tony Junior is a Dutch producer who has channeled his drumming background and rock ‘n’ roll ethos into a back catalog of widespread electronic music tracks. In recent years, he has been refocusing his efforts to create hard-hitting dance heaters. Tony has been on a hot streak in hard dance, collaborating

with industry heavyweights like Brennan Heart, Da Tweekaz, Sound Rush, and Steve Aoki. His bravado on-stage and the controlled chaos from his productions has taken him to major stages worldwide, from Tomorrowland and Ultra to Mysteryland and Dance Valley. Looking ahead, Tony Junior is set to play Insomniac’s Escape

Halloween in San Bernardino on October 25th.

With “909,” Tony Junior unleashes his latest anthem, bringing his explosive energy to the forefront.

Tony Junior is one of the most recognizable artists in Dance Music today. His Rock ‘n Roll appearance, his amazing live performances and his excellent sets get every crowd rocking!

Tony Junior's journey into the world of music began at a young age, driven by an innate passion for rhythm and melody. Born and raised in Utrecht, The Netherlands, Tony's early exposure to a wide range of musical genres paved the way for his distinctive sound. At the age of 12, he left school to become a professional drummer, teaching

music classes and performing with bands.

He broke onto the EDM scene in a major way with a string of huge collaborations with (amongst others) Tiesto, Nervo, Kura, DVBBS and Steve Aoki. Ever since, Tony has kept releasing non- stop on some of the world’s most respected record labels, like Spinnin, Dim Mak, Musical Freedom, Maxximize, Dirty Workz and Smash The House.

Tony has always loved energetic and hard-hitting music. It was therefore no surprise that from 2022, Tony steered away more and more from EDM and into the harder genres of music. In 2023 Tony released a string of hard releases, like a brilliant

hardstyle remake of the hit song “Kids” with Steve Aoki, “What’s Up” with hardstyle super star Brennan Heart (over 6 mio streams on Spotify) and a crazy hardstyle remake of “Lambada with Da Tweekaz and Sound Rush, which scored over16 million streams!

2024 started with Tony’s collab with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike on “The Scientist”,

followed by months of studio time in which Tony developed his style further into techno influenced sounds. This lead to the upcoming release “909”on Insomniac Records, for which Tony collaborated with MC Hughie Babe, best known for his work with 90’s DJ collective Klubbheads and one of the most sampled vocalists from the house scene of

that era.

Tony has a strong presence on social media. His TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channels, where everyone can catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse of his crazy life, reach hundreds of thousands of people every month.

In his home country, The Netherlands, Tony is also a huge mainstream media star. A regular guest on many major TV and radio shows, his antics are always headline news. For example, during Covid, he starred in “The Bachelor”, which caused virtually every


tabloid blog and vlog in Benelux to have an opinion about his love life. Tony has just started shooting for his role in the action comedy “Patsers”, directed by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah, who are best known for their work on “Bad Boys For Life”!

Tony tours globally and year-round. His tours took him from Asia to Europe and beyond and featured shows at Tomorrowland, Ultra, Mysteryland, Marenostrum XPerience, It’s The Ship, ISY Festival China, Dance Valley and many, many more amazing festivals and clubs all over the planet.
