NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS MESSIE AND JUNI DEBUT ON HARD RECS WITH JERSEY-CLUB FUSION TRACK "B2B"

New Zealand producers MESSIE and Juni release a high-energy, UKG and bass blend featuring English rapper sbk via HARD Recs

New Zealand’s fast-rising phenom MESSIE and emerging artist Juni debut on HARD Recs with a new single. Recruiting English rapper and producer sbk, "B2B" is a jersey club-powered bass track reinforced with an unapologetically hostile energy.

 MESSIE is a New Zealand producer whose extensive history playing drums has equipped her with the rhythmic instincts to excel in club culture. In the electronic sphere, MESSIE has built a reputation for sweat-inducing tracks infused with breaks, jungle, jersey club, ghetto tech, baile funk and various global influences.

Based in Auckland, Juni is an emerging New Zealand name specializing in UK garage and bassline.

In “B2B,” sbk’s grime verses carry a raw, confrontational edge, with each bar building on the last. That intensity is mirrored in a syncopated blend of UKG and club music, weaving together murky atmospherics, breathy textures, gunshot samples, rattling fills, and buzzing dissonance that keeps the momentum climbing.

MESSIE has released music alongside Joy Anonymous and Redlight, and has been tapped for remixes by Fred Again..., Charlotte Plank, and KUČKA. Her music has earned radio plays from George FM. She has upcoming setS at Jazz Cafe Festival & Boomtown, following high profile shows at Strawberry Fields, Two Minds, Lollapalooza, All Point East, fabric, Boiler Room. She's provided tour support for Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal. Juni's tracks have received support from BBC Radio 1, Select UK, RTE 2FM. sbk has worked with JME, Wiley, Boy Better Know, and has performed at SXSW and Paris Fashion Week.

'’'B2B' brings a certain pocket of energy and groove that instantly catches your attention. Each section layers elements that play on the perfect amount of tension and release that have been tried and tested to get a crowd moving. This track merges influences and genres such as Jersey Club, Garage and more to match the raw energy and tone of featured artist 'sbk'.” - MESSIE

ODD MOB AND OMNOM REUNITE AS HYPERBEAM FOR NEW SINGLE “TAKE YOU THERE” ON INSOMNIAC RECORDS

Australian producer Odd Mob and Los Angeles-based house artist OMNOM today return to Insomniac Records as their collaborative HYPERBEAM project for their latest single, "Take You There”. The dark, hypnotic tech-house track captures the pair’s signature ability to push club and festival sounds into uncharted territory.

 “Take You There” builds its otherworldly atmosphere around gritty baselines, alternating synth drones, punch drums, guttural low-end pulses, and an arresting vocal hook that loops and echoes throughout the track. Expertly textured and relentlessly driving, the single showcases the chemistry between two of house music’s most distinctive producers while delivering a track designed for late-night dancefloors and festival stages alike.

HYPERBEAM previously graced Insomniac Records last fall with their track “System”, a dark, bass heavy rework of M.I.A. 's GRAMMY-nominated classic “Paper Planes”. The track followed their inaugural EP, ‘The Unexplained’, and only further cemented the duo’s commitment to showcasing their club-ready sensibilities.

Brisbane’s Odd Mob is an ARIA Gold-certified producer whose creativity continues to make waves across dance music through a prolific catalog of original club tracks, edits, remixes, and bootlegs. His forward-thinking approach has established him as a standout force in the global house scene, and is currently on a European and North American Tour with stops on main stage of Tomorrowland, UNVRS,, HARD Summer, ÎLESONIQ, Outside Lands, ARC, III Points, Osheaga and an upcoming Australia 2.0 headline Tour in the Fall.

OMNOM has built one of the most distinctive catalogs in modern house music. His ascent has been reflected across the charts, including a number-one Beatport record in 2023 for “Losing Control” with Odd Mob, numerous top-five placements, and a feature on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. OMNOM continues his 2026 run with upcoming performances at Lollapalooza, Marquee Skydeck New York, Marquee Nightclub Las Vegas, Splash House, and The Concourse Project.

With both artists anticipating a full slate of touring ahead, Odd Mob and OMNOM are gearing up for HYPERBEAM sets at HARD Summer and Outside Lands. With “Take You There”, the duo once again demonstrate their ability to bridge underground club sensibilities with the scale and energy of the world’s biggest festival stages, marking another chapter in the evolving collaboration between two of dance music’s most dynamic artists.

ABOVE & BEYOND CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF MUSIC WITH A CAREER-SPANNING ONE MIX IN SPATIAL AUDIO ON APPLE MUSIC

Listen to Above & Beyond’s One Mix exclusively on Apple Music here with an Apple Music subscription

Above & Beyond celebrate 25 years of music with a new career-spanning edition of Apple Music’s One Mix, available exclusively on Apple Music in immersive Spatial Audio. Moving from their landmark debut album Tri-State through to 2025’s Bigger Than All Of Us, the retrospective mix revisits defining moments from across the trio’s catalog while revealing new layers within music that has shaped generations of dance fans.

“This is a retrospective mix featuring music of ours from the last 25 years, from Tri-State to Bigger Than All Of Us, and all points in between,” Above and Beyond said. “It’s been very revealing to deep dive into old projects, remembering the parts that aren’t so obvious in the stereo mix, that become players in the Spatial Audio mix. We’re grateful to the team at Apple Music for giving people such an immersive, multi-channel experience. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.”

Comprised of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki, Above & Beyond have remained at the forefront of electronic music for more than two decades. The GRAMMY-nominated trio are the founders of the influential Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of the long-running Group Therapy radio show, which reaches millions of listeners around the world each week. 

One Mix is Apple Music's curated mix series, inviting some of the world's leading DJs and producers to create exclusive mixes that showcase their sound in immersive Spatial Audio. The series gives artists the opportunity to create mixes that move beyond conventional stereo listening and place audiences at the center of the performance. Past Spatial Audio editions of the One Mix have featured LP Giobbi, Charlotte de Witte, DJ Bone, Hudson Mohawke, A-Trak, Goldie and Jeff Mills.

The release joins Apple Music’s growing ecosystem of dance and electronic programming, including Club Mix, which spotlights defining artists and emerging voices through exclusive mixes, and Club Resident, a longer-form series that gives artists space to explore their sound across multiple installments. Through Club Live, Apple Music also brings listeners directly to some of the world’s most important dance floors with live broadcasts from EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, The Warehouse Project, and more.  Apple Music’s rights-cleared infrastructure also allows mixes to be properly tracked and monetized, helping ensure artists and rightsholders are paid while preserving important moments in dance music culture for fans around the world.
