NO ART OPEN AIR BRINGS A NEW FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE TO MANCHESTER

Curated by acclaimed Dutch duo ANOTR, No Art Manchester Open Air takes over the city on Saturday 30th May for their biggest UK open-air show to date!

After years of anticipation, the full No Art experience is finally debuting in the UK this spring with the launch of No Art Manchester Open Air on Saturday 30 May, from 3pm–11pm. Curated by tastemaking Amsterdam duo ANOTR, this event marks the debut of the globally respected No Art concept in Greater Manchester and promises to be their largest UK open-air show yet. With the full location and lineup revealed in the coming weeks,

Dutch duo ANOTR are one of electronic music’s most influential acts. With global hits including 'Relax My Eyes' surpassing 200 million streams, and 'How You Feel', they have cemented their international impact exploring new musical territories, blending house with disco, soul, funk, and jazz influences.

Their No Art brand has earned a reputation for delivering carefully curated music and immersive art experiences at unexpected venues and locations across Barcelona, Miami, Uruguay, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Amsterdam. Rather than relying on obvious headliners, their events champion artists with distinctive sounds and deliberate performances. Each show is designed to surprise and confound, combining forward-thinking house music with multi-disciplinary art experiences that are both intimate and boundary-pushing.

Speaking on the announcement, No Art shares, “It’s been a while, Manchester. Good to be back. Built on sound, ideas, and attitude. No Art Festival feels right at home. Keep your eyes peeled for the venue announcement coming soon but it’s in an open air space in Greater Manchester!!!”

The Manchester edition will continue this ethos. While the full location and lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks, attendees can expect the same adventurous programming and high-quality production that has made other No Art events some of the most talked-about in the scene.

CREEDS AND DEVIN WILD UNLEASH THEIR NEW SINGLE “DANGEROUS” ON IKNS

Two of electronic music’s most impactful names, Creeds and Devin Wild, kick off the year with their long-awaited collaboration “Dangerous”, out now via IKNS. After a year of buzz as a highly requested ID across clubs and festival stages, the record finally sees an official release, now landing in a format built for radio, playlists and wide commercial dance audiences.

“Dangerous” pairs big-room energy with a hook-driven vocal topline that hits instantly. Bright trance-leaning synths, a driving groove and stadium-sized momentum make it a natural fit for peak-time sets, while the catchy chorus and clean arrangement give it real crossover potential beyond the harder scenes.

The collaboration brings together two artists with distinct identities and global reach. Dutch producer Devin Wild (Dion Mons) is renowned for his melodic, high-energy sound and has become a key figure in modern hardstyle. On the other side, Creeds, creator of the global smash “Push Up” (now surpassing 600 million streams), has built a unique lane by blending reverse bass, hard techno and trance into explosive, crowd-tested records. On “Dangerous”, the duo focuses on a more accessible EDM-friendly take, designed to connect immediately with both core fans and wider audiences.

Devin Wild: “The moment I heard the vocal, I knew it needed that high-energy, driving production. Sending it to Creeds felt like the natural move, but meeting him for the first time at EDC Vegas really sealed the deal. The chemistry was there instantly, and that energy translated directly into the final record.”

Creeds: “Devin sent me an initial version of the track and I was literally blown away. The sound design and the choice of the vocal were so incredible that I couldn’t believe it!”

“Dangerous” will roll out in two versions: the Light Version arrives first on IKNS on 23 January, followed by the heavier Hard Version one month later on Scantraxx. A full content rollout will support both releases, including official video clips for both versions, press assets, shout-outs, and a wider push across UGC and radio.

TINLICKER’S JORDI VAN ACHTHOVEN DROPS ESCAPISM LP UNDER HIS THEY CALL ME STEVE ALIAS

Escapism, the debut album by They Call Me Steve (Jordi van Achthoven of Tinlicker), explores his creative world through rediscovered tracks and everyday-life samples.

Deeply personal and rooted in his past, it also features the singles “Whatever You Call It,” “Body Move,” and “Lara,” shaping a record suited for both club nights and quiet escape.

The first album Escapism by They Call Me Steve is an album to be obsessed with.

"The whole album feels like an enrichment of a part of me that I was never able to touch. Some of these tracks are older tracks that I’ve produced on my laptop years ago but never actually saw the light of day. I’m beyond excited that I’m finally able to share this music with the world now."

“It’s a personal album, and I was able to incorporate many elements and samples from my daily life into the tracks. You can either blast it at full volume in a club, or use it as background music in your favorite local coffee corner. As the title suggests at its core, it's all about escaping from everyday reality."
