SHLOMØ AND SARA LANDRY COMBINE FOR “CONTROL YOUR BODY” - THE FIRST SINGLE FROM HIS UPCOMING “HEARTCORE” LP

After the massive success of ‘Play With Me’, Shlømo and Sara Landry are back with a new collaboration: ‘Control Your Body’— born straight from their undeniable chemistry in the studio. The two artists met up in Paris, where they produced this hypnotic, sexy club weapon in just one day. Shlømo came up with the vocal idea, which Sara recorded herself, bringing that raw and seductive edge that defines the track.

Shlømo describes working with Sara as something that always feels effortless — fast, instinctive, and creatively aligned. He says they tend to finish tracks in a single session, just like Play With Me and now Control Your Body. Beyond the studio chemistry, he sees her first and foremost as a friend; someone he’s supported for years and who has supported him equally. That trust and connection, he adds, is rare and precious.

The new single marks the first release from Shlømo’s upcoming album HEARTCORE, setting the tone for what’s to come — powerful, emotional, and built for the dancefloor. He’ll be taking the album on a massive world tour, with key stops at Rave Rebels, Elrow, Phantom Paris, Welcome Back Devil, Unreal, Verknipt, FCKNYE, and Halle Tony Garnier among others.

Sara shares how excited she is for the track to finally drop and that it felt only fair for her to return the favor and bless Shaun's debut with another collaborative banger. 

The result? A magnetic techno cut that blends both artists’ energies — dark, intense, and irresistibly sensual — made to captivate crowds from the first kick.

Taking place across Thursday–Friday, 5th–6th and 12th–13th February 2026, Freaks of Nature returns with its seventh episode, titled Freakyard. Across three stages, it will welcome 120 DJs to Riyadh and attract more than 30,000 visitors per day, further establishing the boutique electronic music and arts event as Saudi Arabia’s most dynamic, immersive and memorable festival experience.

Since its inception, Freaks of Nature has consistently hosted a wide array of leading international and local artists, including Lost Frequencies, Nic Fanciulli, Morten, Agents of Time and many more.

It celebrates the “Freak”, an unapologetically authentic, fun-seeking individual, encouraging attendees to reconnect, lose themselves in the music and atmosphere and create unforgettable memories that endure long after the night ends.

 

As part of the 2026 programming, which will be revealed over the coming weeks, Freakyard will also introduce a new merchandise range, a DJ competition, and several other experiential activities for local and international guests to enjoy throughout the duration of the festival.

 

Freakyard will feature meticulously designed stages, each with its own distinctive concept and visual identity, brought to life by immersive art installations and characters that roam the grounds, creating a truly interactive and unforgettable experience like no other.

That’s what Freaks of Nature has always stood for, and this year we’re bringing that feeling back to life in the biggest way yet.”
