HEL:SLØWED DEBUTS ON DREAMSTATE RECORDS WITH EMOTIONAL TRANCE SINGLE, "COMING HOME"

THE DUTCH TRANCE DUO BLENDS SOULFUL VOCALS, BREAKBEAT GROOVES, AND MELODIC TRANCE ENERGY FOR THEIR LABEL DEBUT ON THE DREAMSTATE IMPRINT.

Dutch trance duo Hel:sløwed makes their Dreamstate Records label debut on February 14th with their newest single, “Coming Home,” which finds them honing into a new dimension of their already impressive craft.

“Coming Home” marks their first track utilizing their own lyrics and vocal work. Emotional and soul-shaking, the enrapturing topline sits at the core of a deep yet thunderous groove, propelled by rippling synth leads, glimmering arps, moody atmospherics, and sleek breakbeat drums. It ticks all of the boxes of a crowd-pleasing cut with a crossover appeal.

Reflecting on the release, Hel:sløwed shares: “This track is one of our personal favorites to date. It weaves together all the elements we love: a soulful, almost folk-inspired vocal, paired with a break that feels acoustic and intimate. Building towards a hard-hitting, melodic drop that’s both emotionally stirring and electrifying. It’s a song that hits you right in the feels—and everywhere else.”

Hailing from the Netherlands, Hel:sløwed is the pairing of seasoned producers Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker—with 35 years of experience shared between them. They are known for blending classic trance and progressive with the more subversive influences of techno. Hel:sløwed has an upcoming festival set at the acclaimed A State of Trance Rotterdam, and will be embarking on a club tour across their homeland in the Netherlands. They’ve been a consistent draw at renowned venues and festivals including UNTOLD, Luminosity, Melkweg, and Maassilo.

With “Coming Home,” Hel:sløwed embarks on an exciting new chapter, crafting a masterful blend of trance and techno with compelling vocals, serving as their debut outing with the Dreamstate label.

A true labour of love, Hel:sløwed is the brand new project of Misja Helsloot and Michael de Kooker. Having earned their stripes in the international music scene, together they clock up more than 35 years of pure devotion to all things dance music. A mutual love for melodies, the deeper grooves of techno, and the uplifting yet playful feel of old-school trance connect their minds, resulting in a joint venture that’s ready to make itself heard.

Steering towards a full-toned, rich blend of progressive and trance, a Hel:sløwed original takes the mind to those early days of clubbing, with the technique, maturity, and full-bodied sound propelling it to far beyond today. With releases on labels like Armada Music, Spinnin’ Records, A State of Trance, Armind Recordings, Enhanced Recordings, Flashover Recordings, Black Hole Recordings, Pure Trance, and more, the Hel:sløwed sound has clearly struck a chord with the industry’s elite.

RIOT TEN UNLEASHES HIGH-OCTANE NEW SINGLE, “BASS BOP”

Few producers wield the raw energy of bass music like Riot Ten. With a career defined by chart-topping anthems, high-impact festival sets, and an uncompromising approach to sound design, the El Paso-born powerhouse continues to push boundaries. Now, with "Bass Bop", Riot Ten delivers yet another high-intensity production, reaffirming his place as one of the  genre’s most dynamic and sought-after artists.

A product of pure creative experimentation, "Bass Bop" is built for peak-time dancefloor chaos.

Riot Ten’s mastery of dynamic energy shifts is on full display, blending raw power with calculated intricacy. The result is a high-octane bass weapon, engineered to send festival crowds into a frenzy and cement itself as a standout in his catalog of hard-hitting weapons.

Fresh off a 30+ city North American tour and his 2024 "Feral" EP, Riot Ten remains one of the most in-demand names in the genre, blending unrelenting energy with a knack for producing festival anthems that leave a lasting impact. With multiple Top 10 iTunes singles, #1 charting Beatport releases, and performances at the world’s most prestigious festivals - Coachella, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, Lost Lands, Rampage Belgium, and more - his influence in the electronic music scene is undeniable.

"Bass Bop" lands as Riot Ten continues his reign as one of bass music’s most electrifying figures. His breakout hit single "Rail Breaker" has amassed nearly 20 million streams, continuing its viral trajectory and solidifying his legacy as a defining force in electronic music. With “Bass Bop”, Riot Ten sets the tone for a bold new chapter, one that hits harder, pushes further, and proves Riot Ten is nowhere near slowing down.

QUOTE FROM RIOT TEN

"When I first started this record, I honestly wasn't sure what direction I was going in. I was just having fun and really experimenting with it. Next thing I knew it was becoming one of my favorite records since Mawlee and it's already become a staple in my set. So excited for this one to come out!"

Born and raised in El Paso, TX, Riot Ten exploded into the world of dance music at the age of 22. Joining the Dim Mak Records family in 2017, with additional music out on Never Say Die, Deadbeats, Insomniac, and Rottun, Riot Ten blasted off with four #1 top 100 dubstep singles. His music has been supported around the world from the likes of DJ Snake, Zeds Dead, The Chainsmokers, Excision and many more. In 2017, Riot Ten’s single “Fuck It” with Sullivan King became a staple on The Chainsmokers “Memories Do Not Open” tour. This success ultimately paved the way for “Rail Breaker”, his global smash, to become one of the most successful dubstep songs of the decade. The single saw support from the biggest names in dance music for over 3 years and running. Following the release of “Rail Breaker”, Riot Ten dropped his debut EP with Dim Mak called “Hype Or Die: The Dead” in 2018, which recorded a top 10 debut on the iTunes’ “dance album” charts, a feat seldom seen by an artist in the genre. He recorded another top 10 debut on the iTunes charts in 2019 with his debut album “Hype Or Die: Nightmares”. In addition to the music, Riot Ten has recorded sold out tours, both domestically and internationally, for 3 years and counting.
