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 // 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.

Layton Giordani continues to reign as a trailblazer and now label boss of MADMINDS in the house and techno world, solidifying his presence at the forefront of the global scene. A New York native, Giordani’s journey into electronic music began in his teens, inspired by the legendary sets of Danny Tenaglia at Pacha NY. This profound experience drove him to pursue a career behind the decks, eventually securing a pivotal residency at Output NY in Brooklyn. Here, Giordani's talent flourished, catching the eyes of notable figures in the techno scene.

Giordani’s big break came under the mentorship of Adam Beyer, the techno heavyweight behind the Drumcode label. With Beyer’s support, Layton’s debut ‘Unspoken’ EP on Truesoul, followed quickly by his debut on Drumcode with Rivington, marked his arrival as a rising force in the techno scene. His 2017 debut album ‘Where It Begins’ earned widespread acclaim, cementing his status as a significant player.

The years that followed were marked by monumental collaborations and career-developing hits, including ‘Live Again’ with Danny Tenaglia and ‘Space Date’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet–the latter accumulating over 19 million streams on Spotify and reaching anthem status. Giordani's 2020 sophomore album ‘New Generation' was a bold step forward, blending influences from various genres while expanding the boundaries of his own sound.

His versatility continued to shine in subsequent years with releases including the ‘Hyperworld’ EP, an energetic collaboration with HI-LO on ‘Rabbit Hole,’ and a collaborative remix of ‘Voicemail’ with Green Velvet and Patrick Topping. These tracks not only gained widespread acclaim but also showcased his ability to reshape and reimagine tracks for a new era.

In 2024, Giordani released 10 massive tracks, including his remix of ‘Last Night’ with Anyma which rocketed to #1 overall on Beatport and surpassed 100,000 daily streams on Spotify at its peak. Prior to this, ‘PATT (Party All The Time)’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet also topped the charts. Other notable releases from the year include ‘Paranoid’, Giordani’s debut on the Experts Only label, his remix of Dom Dolla’s ‘girl$’, and first official remix of deadmau5’s ‘Strobe.’

Coming into 2025, Giordani has become one of the most influential names in the house and techno scene, rocketing into the year with ‘Act of God’ (nearing 3MM streams), and followed up by a monster remix of John Summit’s ‘Focus’—and ‘At Night’ with Anyma, passing the 3MM stream mark just shy of two months post-release. Giordani’s tracks receive consistent support across global radio stations, including heavy rotations from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, Mista Jam on Capital, KISS, and Diplo’s Revolution XM radio.

Fresh off a series of sold-out shows and high-profile festival plays—including headlining gigs in NYC and Space Miami, the Yuma Tent at Coachella, and closing sets at EDC Las Vegas and elrow UNVRS Ibiza—Giordani enters his 3-continent fall tour and new era as label boss full of momentum, further cementing his place among the genre's elite. Keep up with Layton Giordani on Website, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

New Jersey-born and raised singer-songwriter Natalie Jane has quickly emerged as one of pop’s most captivating new voices, turning raw emotion into songs that feel larger than life. Blending vulnerability, heartache, and self-reflection with powerhouse vocal delivery, she has carved out a space all her own in the confessional pop world. Most recently, Natalie released her new single “SABOTAGE,” and made a standout appearance alongside Kaskade during Weekend 1 of Coachella. She is currently on her headline The World I Didn’t Want Tour, connecting with audiences around the world through her emotionally charged live show. After signing with 10K Projects/Capitol Records in 2022, Natalie released her debut EP, Where Am I?, the following year. Since then, her otherworldly voice has helped her amass over 2 billion global streams to date, while earning recognition as one of the most-viewed musical artists on TikTok in the U.S., a spot on GRAMMY.com’s “25 Rising Artists to Watch in 2024,” and a nomination for the Social Star Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards. As she continues to rise, Natalie Jane remains grounded in authenticity, emotional honesty, and undeniable star power. Keep up with Natalie Jane on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

DYEN ANNOUNCES ‘HERE WE ARE’ A BRAND-NEW ALBUM, KICKING OFF THE SINGLES RUN WITH ‘VIEZE KICK’

DYEN’s lifework is depicted in his brand-new debut album. A concept that has been years in the making, this August he defines what hard techno is all about…

For DYEN, his journey was always about music. Starting out playing the bass guitar, drums and then piano, he was in a few bands when he was at school and get the addiction for performing live from a young age. Growing up in Rotterdam, surrounded by its legendary hardcore and gabber scene, his musical taste naturally swayed into the harder styles of techno.

Today, DYEN is one of the most recognised artists to come out of the Netherlands, with a worldwide fanbase, his sound is uncompromising, with a high impact effect on every dancefloor. He brings that same intensity to all his productions, with old school elements that tap into a more contemporary sound.

This August 28th, he will release his debut album ‘HERE WE ARE, on his vital label RECKLESS. A label that has become synonymous with the most modern and cutting-edge hard techno sounds. The album marks his lifework, a story told across 12 tracks, with 5 of those being collaborations with some of the scene’s hottest artists, including Maddix, Mr Polska, Embers and Vieze Asbak.

The album presents a much wider spectrum of sounds, from the more mainstream to industrial, bounce and hardcore, with all the vocals recorded by DYEN himself, making this a deeply personal project. The scene has made a transition from hard to harder, and this album tells the story.

With a string of singles to come, the first to drop is ‘VIEZE KICK’ on the 8th May. Its literal translation meaning ‘dirty kick’, the track does exactly what it says on the tin. A bouncy bassline, accompanied with hard kicks, contrasting euphoric and sharp melodies, and an instantly recognisable vocal, created for its catchiness. This single marks the start of what’s to come from DYEN this year, a killer album with a standout selection of collaborations to truly show what his creative mind can achieve.

DYEN is one of hard techno’s most uncompromising and influential artists, known for his explosive, high-impact sound that has helped push the genre into a bold new era. Since emerging in 2017, he has built a reputation for intense DJ sets and emotionally charged productions that blend Rotterdam-inspired hard techno with elements of rave, gabber, hardcore, and industrial. Alongside his own releases and global performances, DYEN also leads the cutting-edge RECKLESS label, a platform championing the next generation of hard techno talent through standout releases and worldwide showcases.

CLAPTONE FINDS HIS WAY WITH FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM 'WANDERER'

Out Now Via Golden Path Recordings

With four full-length albums under his belt, Claptone has earned the right to do things on his own terms. ‘Wanderer’, out today via his Golden Path Recordings imprint, is the clearest expression of that yet. The masked German producer has spent years building one of dance music's more formidable sonic identities; five consecutive years as the world's #1 House DJ, a relentless global touring schedule, and a string of records that have consistently found the line between club-ready and genuinely artful. ‘Wanderer’ doesn't abandon any of that, but simply does something more interesting with it. Across 11 tracks and a carefully assembled roster of collaborators, the new LP broadens the musical picture without losing focus, moving between festival anthems and more intimate moments with the confidence of someone who not only knows the difference but knows when each one is called for.

That balance reveals itself across the album's opening stretch. ‘Way Too Into You’ featuring Henry Camamile of the British Indie band Sea Girls sets the tone with a vocal performance that's confident without being overwrought, wrapping an indie topline in dancing summer melodies that feel immediately at home on a festival stage. It's an addictive yet entirely accessible opener, succinctly summarizing the always-evolving Claptone sound. ‘Phantasy’ with Raphaella follows in a different register altogether, guitar-led, unhurried, and more interested in groove than impact. It's a conscious step back from the opener's brightness, with the contrast allowing both to land harder because of it.

By the time ‘Turn Up The Love’ with Crystal Fighters arrives, the album's range is already starting to take shape, and the collaboration delivers exactly what a pairing of that scale should. It's a fully realized, radio-ready single, melodically airtight and built around a hook that's quick to take hold and refuses to let go. It's also one of several moments on Wanderer where Claptone's ability to identify what a vocal needs around it, build it out, and know precisely when to stop feels genuinely hard to match. ‘Disappear’ with T. Western dials in a refreshing shift in atmosphere, turning towards something smoother in texture, with pulsing synthwork doing the heavy lifting without sacrificing any of Claptone's signature melodic finesse.

The album's midpoint is where Wanderer earns its title most honestly. ‘Sandcastles’ with Nathan Nicholson is tender in touch and deliberate in restraint, carrying true emotional weight solely because it doesn't reach for it. Four albums in, Claptone has clearly developed a feel for when pulling back makes more sense than pushing forward, and here it pays off quietly and completely. The transition into ‘Black & Gold’ with Hannah Boleyn feels almost cinematic by contrast, with deep bass hits giving the track an immediate dancefloor edge while the melodies running beneath Boleyn's front-and-center vocal lend it a storytelling quality that most club records don't bother striving for. It’s already made its mark ahead of the album's release, drawing early support from Capital Dance, BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard, and Kiss FM. Now heard in the context of the full record, it hits with even more conviction.

‘Wanderlust’, the first of two collaborations with vocalist Poppy Baskcomb, is layered, precise, and possesses a lightness that keeps it from taking itself too seriously. For a record built almost entirely on collaborations, it quietly underlines something important: the voices may change, and the moods may shift, but the vision stays consistent throughout. That cohesion holds as the album swings into one of its most euphoric moments with ‘Put Your Love On Me’, the second joint effort with Henry Camamile from Sea Girls. It's bold, festival-ready, and built from the ground up to make lasting memories. By the time ‘All Night Long’ featuring Moli arrives with its harder kick and snapping claps, the album has covered enough ground that its dancefloor directness feels earned rather than expected.

‘Treading Water’ brings Poppy Baskcomb back for a more raw and exposed cut, leaning on layered harmonies and delicate vocal processing to build a genuine sense of immersion before culminating in an uplifting payoff in the drop. In closing, ‘Any Given Moment’ sees Claptone close Wanderer on his own terms, deeper, groove-driven and content to let a bouncing low-end and sultry vocal do the work. It's a measured and assured conclusion to a record that never once felt rushed.

What Wanderer ultimately demonstrates is that Claptone's creative instincts have only sharpened with time. The years since Closer in 2021 have been anything but idle, with a touring footprint that spans continents, a particularly devoted following built across South America, and a returning residency at Club Chinois in Ibiza ahead this summer. The launch of Golden Path Recordings in 2023 added another dimension to an already multifaceted operation, underlining an artist who has never been content to simply show up and perform. Currently ranked #32 in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs following five consecutive years as the world's #1 House DJ, the numbers tell one story, but Wanderer tells a more interesting one. It's the work of a producer who has stopped trying to prove anything and started simply making the music that makes sense to him.

Wanderer by Claptone is out now via Golden Path Recordings. Listen to the full record here.

In a now long-forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird-like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn, and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone. Years spent wandering medieval landscapes have informed Claptone’s view of the world, experiencing both magical mystery and muted melancholy; he enchanted onlookers with occult instruments and beguiling sounds. Forever surrounded by a sense of intrigue, the world soon cottoned on to the elusive yet enchanting musical powers of this otherworldly beast. The results are that, today, his shamanistic sonic powers take him all around the world…
