TECHNO POWERHOUSE AIROD REINFORCES HIS REPUTATION AS A SPEARHEAD WITH THE FURIOUS SINGLE “SHARK SOUL”

Renowned for his eclectic take on techno and celebrated for his high-octane live performances, AIROD, aka Dario Brkic, continues to forge ahead in the electronic music scene. Following his standout appearance at Boiler Room in Köln and recent releases on Charlotte De Witte’s KNTXT label, the French DJ-producer unveils his latest single, "Shark Soul," set for release on September 12th.

"Shark Soul" marks AIROD's powerful talent in the hard techno scene, showcasing his innovative fusion of styles. The track blends nostalgic melodies with intense drops and balances futuristic sound design with furious kicks, evoking the wild, elusive nature of a shark. This release reaffirms AIROD's commitment to pushing musical boundaries, seamlessly integrating DNB and hardstyle influences into a unique hybrid sound that underscores his versatility and distinct signature.

AIROD first gained recognition in Paris, capturing the attention of techno heavyweight Amelie Lens, who featured him at her renowned Exhale parties. His raw and emotive productions have led to successful collaborations with artists like Amelie Lens and Charlotte De Witte, with tracks such as "Adrenaline" amassing over 6.5 million Spotify streams.



As AIROD prepares to perform "Shark Soul" live at Boiler Room in Ghent on September 7th, fans can expect an electrifying showcase of his new material. Following this, he will continue to defend his track internationally at events such as the infamous EXHALE parties, this time in Medellin, also at FABRIK in Madrid on October 12th, and at Audiodrome in Torino on October 19th.

“Shark Soul” will continue to gain recognition and meet worldwide dancefloors thanks to the WELCOME BACK DEVIL parties, organized by artist SHLØMO. These events, set to take place in South America (Mexico, Guadalajara) at the end of September, and in the US (Chicago, Arizona) at the end of October highlight the growing collaboration between these two artists, propelling the French hard techno scene forward.

GASTON FIORE JOINS CHARLOTTE DE WITTE'S RPM FOR “THE DAY YOU LEFT ME" EP

Next up on the RPM by KNTXT label is the young and exciting Gaston Fiore, an Argentine producer making big waves with his powerful stripped down mix of trance and techno. He serves up three tracks that are all directly aimed at the dance floor but infused with human emotion.

Fiore embarked on his musical journey in early 2020 and quickly made a mark thanks to his dynamic style. Some of his tunes have made their way into some respected record bags as he continues to pick up a worldwide fan base.


“This EP is really special to me”, says Gaston Fiore. “I've been following Charlotte for many years and I'm very grateful to be releasing music on her label now. This selection of tracks are the best representation of what I want to push, a bit deep, kind of groovy and very clubby."

Charlotte de Witte adds: “Gaston Fiore's trancy, stripped down approach always captivates me & simply makes me want to move. I'm beyond excited to welcome him on RPM by KNTXT with these beautiful, floaty yet effective tracks.”

‘The Day You Left Me’ is high speed techno trance with funk in the bass notes and lasers fired from a machine gun. It is imbued with a dark sense of soul and never lets up. The equally brilliant ‘I Want You To Stay’ is another slick, urgent cut with a menacing bassline and hooky female vocals up top that swirl next to the hypnotic pads. Last of all is 'Affects Of Love' which is a third and final beautifully floating track with powerful drums and tender chords up top, all of which come with a futuristic sense of moody.

The Day You Left Me is a fantastic new EP from this new school innovator.

Tracklist:

1) The Day You Left Me

2) I Want You To Stay

3) Affects Of Love

MITCH OLIVER DEBUTS ON GET PHYSICAL MUSIC WITH ‘OUT OF SPACE’

OUT NOW ACROSS ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS

Montreal-based DJ, remixer, and sound engineer Mitch Oliver is at the forefront of the melodic house movement. With over 2 million Spotify streams, Mitch is on a mission to spread positive vibes and unite people through his music, which has been released on prestigious labels such as Glasgow Underground, Kindisch, and TrybesOf. Known for his ability to blend subtle and sophisticated sounds with impactful grooves, Mitch has played at iconic events such as Burning Man and SXM Festival, as well as key clubs across Europe, North, and South America.

Recently, Mitch made history with a ground-breaking performance at the International de Montgolfières festival in Quebec, becoming the first DJ to play inside a hot air balloon at the event. His ethereal track ‘Out of Space’ was part of this unique set, blending seamlessly with the breath-taking aerial views and adding an otherworldly dimension to the performance. The combination of the track's atmospheric soundscape and the surreal experience of floating in the sky left an unforgettable mark on attendees.

The wonderful ‘Out of Space’ is a deep but dynamic piece with a great sense of drama. The twinkling keys bring a cosmic scale, while spoken words - recorded and pitched down by Mitch himself - add layers of thoughtfulness. The bold bassline powers the whole experience along, creating a well-crafted and characterful sound that makes a brilliantly physical and emotional mark. The pluck melody, which Mitch composed early in the creative process, weaves its way through the entire song, mesmerizing the listener. This melody, paired with a simple yet effective groove, infuses the track with a happy vibe that contrasts beautifully with its intense and somewhat melancholic theme.

The theme of ‘Out of Space’ reflects the feeling of lacking time in our highly connected era. Mitch aimed to express the need for space - to breathe, to move, and to let ideas flow. He notes, “To be creative, we need space and time. If we don't give ourselves this space and time, it becomes impossible not only to live healthily but also to have creative ideas.” This idea is encapsulated in the track's title and lyrics, reflecting the reality of our society today. The lines “Out of Space” and “Out of Time” highlight the need for mental clarity and perspective, while “Gotta Run” emphasizes the importance of physical movement for mental well-being.

Heavily supported by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge, Kevin McKay, Danny Tenaglia, Rodriguez Jr, Eelke Kleijn, Robosonic, Sam Divine, Nick Warren, and Atish, among others, Mitch Oliver's rise to prominence has been swift and undeniable, solidifying his position as a trailblazer in Montreal's melodic wave. His dynamic stage presence and infectious energy have left an enduring impression on fans from diverse corners of the world, from Amsterdam and Ibiza to Miami, New York, and South America.

Mitch Oliver's dedication to his craft is evident in every performance and release. He continues to innovate and inspire with his music, blending new styles and influences while staying true to the emotional and atmospheric intensity that defines his work. As he ascends to international stardom, Mitch Oliver remains committed to creating music that unites and moves people on a profound level.
