JUAN HANSEN SHARES LIVESET FROM GARDENS OF BABYLON, BODHI BEACH

The 90 minute set features a selection of exclusive material from Hansen’s forthcoming debut album Ultrasonido, arriving August 28

Argentine composer, producer and live artist Juan Hansen unveils his latest live recording from an unforgettable performance for Gardens of Babylon at Bodhi Beach near Zandvoort, Netherlands on August 1. Capturing the energy, emotion and spontaneity of his celebrated live show, the set offers listeners a glimpse into the sonic world of his forthcoming debut album Ultrasonido, due for worldwide release on August 28 via his own label Ultrasonido.

Captured in the atmospheric surroundings of Bodhi Beach, the performance showcases the full emotional and sonic landscape of Ultrasonido as Hansen intended it to be experienced: as a continuous, evolving journey. Blending electronic production, live instrumentation and spontaneous improvisation, the set brings the album’s narrative to life while highlighting the unique energy of Hansen’s celebrated live performances.

Ultrasonido represents Hansen’s exploration of sound as a physical and emotional experience. The album brings together his background as a composer with his instinctive approach to electronic music, creating a world where organic textures, hypnotic rhythms and cinematic atmospheres merge into a deeply personal expression of movement and connection. Following the release of the album’s first singles “Ninjas,” “Gambeta” and “Neon Maze,” the Gardens of Babylon performance marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the project, offering listeners an early opportunity to experience the album in a live setting.

Born in Buenos Aires, Juan Hansen is a composer, producer and live artist whose performances exist between electronic music, improvisation and contemporary composition. Built around Ableton Live and expanded through live guitars, vocals and synthesizers, his sets are fluid, expressive experiences where loops, melodies and textures continuously evolve in real time. Hansen studied classical music at the Conservatorio Juan José Castro and contemporary music at EMC (Escuela de Música Contemporánea) in Buenos Aires. Throughout his career, he has performed internationally at renowned festivals, clubs and cultural institutions, sharing stages with artists including Dixon, Hernán Cattáneo, Patrice Bäumel, Adriatique, Paul Kalkbrenner, Jan Blomqvist, Johannes Brecht and Giorgia Angiuli.

 

Juan Hansen’s Gardens of Babylon live set from Bodhi Beach is available now.

Juan Hansen’s debut album Ultrasonido will be released worldwide on August 28 via Ultrasonido.

TAPE B AND ZAYTOVEN UNITE ON NEW SINGLE "SIGNATURE SOUND" ONE OF BASS MUSIC'S DEFINING VOICES JOINS FORCES WITH LEGENDARY HIP-HOP PRODUCER ON A GENRE-BLENDING COLLABORATION

THE RELEASE MARKS ONE OF TAPE B'S BIGGEST CREATIVE MILESTONES TO DATE

One of bass music’s most in demand producers Tape B continues the biggest creative chapter of his career with the release of "Signature Sound," an original collaboration with legendary Atlanta producer Zaytoven, arriving across DSPs on August 12th.

Equally inspired by the cinematic sound design of early 2000’s era dubstep and the storytelling of hip-hop, Tape B has spent years blending those influences into a sound uniquely his own. "Signature Sound" becomes the clearest expression of that vision to date, bringing together two worlds that have shaped his artistry since he first began producing.

Joining forces with Zaytoven - whose unmistakable production helped define the sound of artists including Gucci Mane, Future, Migos, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, and 21 Savage - feels less like a crossover and more like the natural next chapter in a creative journey that has always existed at the intersection of bass music and hip-hop.

For Tape B, the collaboration represents a defining moment in his career. Across the past several years, he's consistently paid homage to hip-hop through widely celebrated reworks of artists who helped shape his musical identity. 

His catalog includes fan-favorite unofficial remixes of Mac Miller's "Loud" (2.1M streams),  Flatbush Zombies’ “222”  (1.2M), and A$AP Rocky’s “Goldie” (1.2M), alongside a growing collection of hip-hop-inspired edits that have become staples of his consistently sold-out live sets. The longstanding appreciation for the genre culminated in his first official hip-hop collaboration, "Trippy Land" with Juicy J in 2024, which has since surpassed 4 million streams across platforms. 

Joining forces with Zaytoven - one of the most influential producers in modern hip-hop - marks the next chapter in that journey, bringing together two artists connected by a shared appreciation for innovation.

Rather than meeting in the middle, the collaboration allows each producer's style to remain unmistakably intact. Opening with a playful introduction from Zaytoven before unfolding into heavyweight bass, dynamic sound design, and simply put, Tape B’s signature sound. The record fuses heavy hitting energy with the rhythmic feel and musicality that have made Zaytoven one of hip-hop's most influential producers.

Artist Quote:

"This song was originally inspired by the famous UKF dubstep tutorial, and I've drawn a lot of inspiration from that era for this song. I want the entire vibe of it to feel like something that came from the 2010-2012 era of dubstep.

When I saw a video of Zaytoven talking about his production process, I thought that him talking about the "wub" sound was perfect for a revamped modern version of the UKF dubstep tutorial but in a new school way. 

We reached out to Zaytoven's team and had some phone calls about making this an official collaboration and they were very excited about it. My goal is to continue bridging the gap between hip-hop and dubstep and this song is a great example of it.  The song was the intro to my sets on my fall 2025 bus tour and has been a favorite in every set since.." 

— Tape B

The collaboration arrives during a landmark run for Tape B. Fresh off sold-out dates on his Summer Program amphitheater tour alongside Levity, acclaimed collaborations with artists including Subtronics, Zeds Dead and GRiZ, and his upcoming nearly sold-out two-night Red Rocks headline later this year, he continues building one of electronic music's most passionate fan communities while expanding his artistic vision into fresh territories.

At a time when much of the music industry is driven by fast-moving trends and short-form moments, Tape B continues to argue for a different approach - one rooted in community, artistic identity, and creating art with lasting impact. Drawing inspiration from the records that first made him fall in love with electronic music while fully championing collaborators from outside the genre, he continues blending old-school influences with new-school production into something both timeless and forward-looking.

With "Signature Sound," Tape B delivers more than an unexpected collaboration. The record celebrates the shared DNA between hip-hop and bass music while marking a defining milestone for one of electronic music's biggest artists - proving that some of the most exciting ideas emerge when artists from different worlds create something entirely its own.

Kemal Alkanat, known artistically as Tape B, has rapidly ascended in the electronic music realm, blending the essence of nostalgic dubstep with contemporary bass vibrations. His acclaimed EP "A Dose of Nostalgia" and the 2023 Deadbeats release “Over Saturated” have cemented his position as an essential voice in the genre's evolution. Tape B's innovative remixes and his distinctive approach to genre experimentation have drawn recognition from industry leaders like Subtronics, GRiZ, Zeds Dead, Excision, Ganja White Night, Wooli and Peekaboo.

FOLAMOUR, SETH TROXLER AND JAMIE 3:26 TO HEADLINE BALAGAN WORLD’S BIGGEST OPEN-AIR EVENT ON BRUSSELS CANALSIDE

The Brussels collective takes over a 5,000-capacity site at Quai de Heembeek on the Port of Brussels for a day of house music on Saturday 29 August 2026 - its largest production to date

Brussels collective Balagan World has revealed the line-up for its largest event to date, a 5,000-capacity open-air on the Port of Brussels canalside at Quai de Heembeek on Saturday 29 August 2026, headlined by Folamour, Seth Troxler and Jamie 3:26.

Headlining is Folamour, one of the most distinctive and sought-after names in European house music following standout performances at Coachella, Glastonbury and Tomorrowland among many more. Seth Troxler, the Detroit-born party starter and Grammy-nominated producer for his collaboration with Diplo brings his characteristic deep knowledge and ability to move between underground sounds with equal authority. Completing the international headline trio is Jamie 3:26, a true legend of Chicago house whose roots in the music run as deep as anyone.

Two Belgian names complete the bill. TOOLATE Groove is a Brussels producer whose soulful, jazz-inflected house has picked up wide support in the industry, while Rozental, a Balagan World resident has become one of the more compelling figures in the country's current electronic landscape.

Quai de Heembeek is a working stretch of the Port of Brussels, industrial, waterside, and a long way from a conventional festival field. It is the kind of site Balagan World has built its reputation on, following the collective's first open air at the Silo in Brussels in 2025 and marking a significant step up in production scale. Founded by Brussels friends Johan Kirszner and Alon Zur, Balagan World has since expanded from Brussels to Paris, Milan and London.

Alon Zur, co-founder of Balagan World, said: "After a first successful open air at the Silo in Brussels in 2025, Balagan World is taking a new step with a larger-scale production in the heart of the Port of Brussels. Quai de Heembeek will offer a unique industrial setting by the water for a day dedicated to house music."
