LAMMER’S MOMENTUM KEEPS GROWING WITH HIS DEBUT EP HIGHLY ROGUE

Highly Rogue is out today, already supported by Job Jobse, Patrick Mason, Benwal, Tjade and many more. 

LAMMER, whose career skyrocketed in 2025, is releasing his debut EP Highly Rogue today via his own imprint also titled Highly Rogue. The EP’s name is a tribute to his label, marking a new chapter with its official launch. Led by the long-awaited single Time To Move, the four-track EP showcases LAMMER’s signature high-energy sound while exploring new territory across tempo, texture, and club context. Fans have been asking for the track for months, and after a Summer of teasing it in sets and online, the moment has finally arrived.

The Highly Rogue EP delivers four distinctive tracks that each showcase a different side of LAMMER’s sound. Leading the charge is Time To Move, a high-tempo house track that feels like the natural follow-up to his breakout hit All Night, already receiving strong support. Take Me pushes into trance and 90s rave territory, championed by Benwal and Job Jobse, while Kick It strips things back to a raw, acid-tinged club weapon, tested by Benwal, Tjade, Lucky Done Gone, and Gusted. Rounding out the project is the All Night (All Day Long Mix), a powerful rework that LAMMER originally kept exclusive to his sets, but is now releasing as a thank-you to fans after months of requests. Together, the four tracks mark a new chapter in LAMMER’s career as he keeps getting more and more recognition from fans and industry professionals alike. 

“I’ve wanted to release an EP for a long time, but now that I’ve got my own studio and no day job holding me back, it finally feels possible,” says LAMMER. “These tracks have been part of many shows this summer, from Lowlands to Thuishaven, and they always get the biggest reactions. People are already singing along to Time To Move, which is surreal.”

2025 has been nothing short of a breakthrough year for LAMMER. After his remix of Ik Haat Hem Voor Jou became an underground favorite and his single All Night exploded into one of the most talked-about tracks of the year with fans singing along in clubs and major DJs picking it up for their sets, his rise has been unstoppable. He became the first artist ever to play two consecutive nights at The Loft, sold out a five-hour Thuishaven set in just one minute, joined Audio Obscura’s Highway Rave, and closed the India Stage at Lowlands to a packed crowd. Recently he reached another milestone with his first all-day set at Maassilo. Looking ahead, he’s set to take his sound international with shows in Dublin, Leeds, Barcelona, Madrid, Budapest, and Berlin, before debuting at EDC Thailand and embarking on a month-long tour of Australia in April 2026. 

LAMMER will be performing at several ADE events, including Into The Woods, Audio Obscura, and ZeeZout. On Thursday, October 23rd at 12:15 CEST, he’ll take the stage at WestWeelde alongside Kyle Starkey for an ADE Lab talk on how to create your own musical wave. More information and tickets are available via this link.

LAMMER is pushing his way into Europe’s dance floors from his hometown Rotterdam. His debut single All Night turned into a proper club weapon, picked up by tastemakers like Job Jobse and Patrick Mason. Known for long, high-energy sets, LAMMER sells out his own nights whether it’s five hours at Thuishaven or all day long with Rotterdam Rave in Maassilo. That momentum is now carrying him through Europe, with clubs and festivals quickly catching on to his sound. This summer he closed Holland’s biggest stage: Lowlands Festival, a milestone that marked the peak of his breakthrough year. He also made history as the first artist to sell out two nights in a row with Audio Obscura at The Loft during Easter. With his first EP Highly Rogue just out, and a raw mix of 90s rave, trance and house at the core of his productions, LAMMER is set for even bigger moves, with plenty of international shows in the works.

CORREN CAVINI UNVEILS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM ‘A PLACE TO CALL HOME’

OUT NOW VIA PURIFIED RECORDS

Today marks the release of A Place To Call Home, the debut album from Utrecht-based producer Corren Cavini - a record that confirms his arrival as one of the most singular new voices in electronic music. Arriving both digitally and as a strictly limited vinyl edition of just 100 copies on Purified Records, the long-player underscores Cavini’s belief in the album as a complete artistic statement - something to be experienced not in fragments, but as a journey. More than a collection of tracks, this is a statement of identity, vulnerability and craft: the work of a producer who has quietly carved out a distinctive sound over the past few years, and now delivers his most ambitious, emotionally charged project to date.

 

The album’s story begins in the most personal of places. Its opening piece, “Home (ouverture),” was written on the day Cavini learned his mother had been diagnosed with cancer. After returning home, crying together, he sat at the piano and let the music flow. What emerged was not just a song but the seed of an album - a meditation on belonging, safety and the meaning of home. That single moment of grief and intimacy threads through the entire record, shaping it into something far beyond the usual boundaries of club music.

 

Over the past year, Cavini has offered glimpses of this world with the release of “Tell Me” featuring Chris Howard, “Listen To The Silence,” “Agoraphobia,” and “Heart Of Gold” featuring Howard once again. Each single hinted at the album’s depth, but only in full do they reveal their weight, intertwined with new material to form a narrative arc that feels cinematic in scope. From the soaring openness of “Tell Me” and the weightless surrender of “Free Falling” with MYRN, to the warmth of “Valinhos,” inspired by Cavini’s travels in Brazil, the record moves between intimate confession and collective catharsis. “Never The Same” and “Now Or Never,” both featuring Dan Soleil, capture the tension between impermanence and urgency, while “Autumn Sun” finds quiet beauty in transition.

 

Central to the record is “Agoraphobia,” a stirring homage to Pleinvrees, the iconic Dutch festival series that ended in 2024. For Cavini, Pleinvrees was more than an event - it was a sanctuary, a place where vulnerability and euphoria coexisted and where his sound first took shape. By reframing the concept of agoraphobia not as fear of the crowd but as the search for connection within it, Cavini reimagines the dancefloor as a home in its own right - a place of belonging for those who struggle to find it elsewhere. That same conviction drives “Your Rights,” a plea for the preservation of nightlife as a vital safe space for self-expression, reminding us that music is more than entertainment: it is survival, identity, and refuge.

 

“A Place To Call Home, to me, is about the importance of having somewhere you truly feel at home - where you feel safe to be yourself. That’s something every person in the world deserves, but it’s definitely not a given. Especially in these times. Whether it’s a place, a person, or a community, it’s a human need. I’m more than aware of the struggle of not feeling safe, and in darker times, music and dance floors have helped me in that sense. On dance floors, more than anywhere else, I have felt safe to express myself, connect with strangers and work through trauma. If I can contribute, even in the tiniest way, to helping others feel at home, connected, and safe through music - then to me, that’s worth dedicating all of my energy to. It certainly is what makes this album something I feel so incredibly emotionally invested into.” – Corren Cavini

 

What makes A Place To Call Home so striking is the way it balances this emotional depth with Cavini’s immaculate craftsmanship. Classically trained, with an instinct for drama and restraint, he sculpts sound with patience and intention. The record moves fluidly between moments of fragility and power, silence and propulsion, introspection and release. It is music for headphones at night and for sunrise on the dancefloor, for mourning and for celebration - a rare debut that insists on the album as a serious art form in an era defined by fleeting singles.

 

With previous releases on DAYS like NIGHTS, This Never Happened, Armada Music and Purified Records, Cavini has already been shaping a reputation among those who value subtlety and storytelling in electronic music. His recent livestream from Purified Johannesburg further demonstrated his ability to command emotional intensity in a live context, bridging underground credibility with cinematic weight. Yet A Place To Call Home feels like the moment where all of that groundwork crystallizes into something undeniable.

 

This is more than just a debut - it is a landmark. With A Place To Call Home, Corren Cavini offers not only his most vulnerable work, but a defining contribution to the sound of his generation: a record that feels destined to endure and an artist who feels destined to rise.

FINAL WINNERS REVEALED AT THE DJ AWARDS ICONIC IBIZA CEREMONY

The DJ Awards 2025 lit up ROTO Club in Ibiza Town with a suitably spectacular and proudly independent ceremony celebrating the very best in electronic music culture. The night was full of special, end of season, energy and the winners of this year’s publicly voted genre-specific awards were officially unveiled to represent the voices of true fans all around the world.

This year’s ceremony marked the 24th edition of the DJ Awards and continued its mission as an independent, authentic and globally inclusive celebration of electronic music. With support from partners including YouTube, Skiddle and Suntory at the intimate and edgy ROTO Club, the awards brought together leading artists, industry figures and fans for a night to remember.

The winners reflect the diversity of today’s dance music scene, from genre pioneers to fresh voices redefining the sounds of now. The inclusion of newly launched categories like Balearic and Hard Dance/Bounce shows the DJ Awards’ ongoing evolution in celebrating emerging movements and communities.

This year’s ceremony was also a night of giving back. In response to the devastating floods in Ibiza, the DJ Awards announced that a portion of the event’s proceeds have been donated to the Spanish Red Cross (Creu Roja) to support recovery and aid efforts on the island.

Since its founding in 1998, the DJ Awards has been the longest-running international celebration of DJ culture, and it remains proudly independent. In its second year since relaunching, the 2025 edition proved once again that recognition in dance music doesn’t need to be bought. It should be earned, respected and celebrated by the community, and once again the DJ Awards 2025 closed out the Ibiza season in style.

Andy Grant, DJ Awards owner, says “It’s been incredible to see the DJ Awards come together once again for a second year since returning. This ceremony truly celebrates the heart of our culture, the artists who have inspired dance floors all around the world, and those in the industry who come together to make it all happen. What makes it even more special is that these accolades come directly from the public’s independent votes, honouring the DJs who’ve genuinely moved the people and dance floors this year.”
