A Setting That Defines the Experience

Set between pine forest, mountain, and sea, UNUM’s three distinctive stages once again deliver its signature 24/7 journey:

The Pine Stage – the festival’s non-stop heartbeat, where music flows continuously beneath the forest canopy.

The Beach Stage – a sun-drenched meeting point of rhythm and coastline.

The Main Stage – anchoring the night with immersive, high-impact moments.

Among the most anticipated innovations for 2026 is a new panoramic afterparty concept overlooking the Adriatic. Hosted in a modern hilltop structure above Shëngjin and limited to just 500 guests, this intimate experience merges sunrise, architecture, and sound into what promises to be one of the festival’s most unforgettable moments.

HONEYLUV JOIN FORCES WITH MUNI LONG FOR A NEW HOUSE ANTHEM “DON’T STOP”

Breakthrough DJ and producer HoneyLuv’s club-rooted sound meets GRAMMY Award winner Muni Long’s irresistible vocals on the new collab single

Rising American DJ and producer HoneyLuv unveils her powerful new single “Don’t Stop” featuring GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long. Out now via Casablanca Records, the release arrives as HoneyLuv continues to cement her status as one of house music’s most compelling new talents, blending a futuristic sound with deep roots in the genre’s classic foundations, while setting the stage for a major year of global touring and forthcoming releases.

“Don’t Stop” is an instant jolt of energy built for both the club and repeat listening. From the track's opening, HoneyLuv locks into a driving four-on-the-floor groove with crisp percussion, a pulsing bassline, and sleek, modern production that feels equally at home in a club set or on daytime radio.

At the center, Muni Long delivers a confident, magnetic vocal performance that gives the track its emotional pull. Her voice glides effortlessly over the beat, adding warmth and attitude to HoneyLuv’s breezy house backdrop. The hook is direct and infectious, designed to stick after a single listen while keeping the momentum high.

Reflecting on the collaboration, HoneyLuv comments: “This song is proof that patience and belief really shape your path. What started as an idea turned into a two-year journey, and collaborating with Muni Long on it is something I once only imagined. Now it’s real, and I can’t wait for everyone to feel the energy behind it.”

The single follows a heavy run of collaborative hits that have defined HoneyLuv’s evolving sonic footprint. From “Your Tongue” to collaborations such as "Waymo” with Aluna and “Euro Flow” with Idris Elba, each record has reinforced her presence as one of the most promising names in futuristic and tech-house, keeping audiences worldwide eager for more.

“Don’t Stop” is out today via Casablanca Records and is available on all streaming platforms.

Emerging during the pandemic, she rose from a Los Angeles bedroom DJ to an international headliner in just a few years, earning recognition from BBC Radio 1 as a Dance Future Star, The New York Times as an “Up Next” artist, Beatport as One To Watch, and DJ Mag as Breakthrough Producer at the end of 2023. Her breakout single “365 (Thr33 6ix 5ive),” released on Black Book Records, has surpassed 21 million streams on Spotify alone, cementing her global presence and earning widespread support from tastemakers including Pete Tong, Danny Howard, and Charlie Hedges. HoneyLuv has performed at some of the world’s most influential festivals and venues, including Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Brooklyn Mirage, Space Miami, Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa Ibiza, and Defected Festival Croatia, while collaborating and touring alongside leading figures in dance music. In 2026, she enters her biggest year yet, launching a highly anticipated release run beginning with “Don’t Stop” on Universal Records, expanding her vision through her label 4 Tha Luv, and embarking on a global tour spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

NORWEGIAN DUO MENTUM TRIGGER UNDERGROUND SYNERGY ACROSS CONTINENTS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘BREATHE’

Norwegian duo Mentum are firmly staking their claim at the forefront of the new wave of electronic talent emerging from the Nordics. Channelling raw emotional undercurrents into a magnetic, high-impact club cut, they launch infatuating new record ‘Breathe’ onto the international circuit.

Built with a DJ’s instinct for pacing, ‘Breathe’ thrives on tension. The groove is tight and deliberate, the low-end sculpted for maximum impact, while crisp, driving percussion pushes the track forward with tunnel-vision focus. “With ‘Breathe,’ we wanted to capture the visceral moment where you let yourself go and the world disappears, triggered by a total connection to someone else,” the duo explains.

Seasoned selectors know the value of the “attitude” record in a DJ set; the one that cuts through the haze and commands attention. Mentum produced ‘Breathe’ with that exact function in mind. “It’s a track born out of that tension between underground emotion and pure, high-energy dance precision. For us, it’s about more than just the drop; it’s about the weightless feeling you get when the music finally takes over.”

Bound together by the aux cord that first brought them together over a chance meeting at a house party in 2014, Tim Terkelsen and Finn Eriksrud are the driving force behind Mentum. An active DJ and producer alliance since 2016, the duo’s innate ability to craft emotive depth and mainstage power with technical precision, instrumental flair, and Finn’s vocal and songwriting talent, has captured the praise attention of industry heavyweights such as The Chainsmokers, R3HAB, and David Guetta.

2026 marks a definitive era for the now decade-long creative partnership Mentum who are intent on sharing their sound with the masses. Pulsating rave anthem ‘Antidote,’ in collaboration with Top100 DJ KAAZE, kicked things off as Mentum’s anticipated return to Spinnin’ Records. With the industry’s glare heighted on their next move, Tim and Finn now extend their creative output into LOCO MOTIV recs, the new label of Mentum which launches at the drop of new single ‘Breathe.’
