JOHN DIGWEED ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 'QUATTRO IV' OUT NOW ON BEDROCK

Four years after the acclaimed Quattro III, Bedrock returns with the fourth instalment of its celebrated compilation series. The pacakage spans 66 new and unreleased tracks across five discs, including four collections curated and mixed by John Digweed, and an exclusive full-length artist album from Charlie May.

Bedrock returns with the latest instalment of its Quattro series, as John Digweed presents Quattro IV, a five-disc collection that explores the breadth and depth of the Bedrock Records sound. Available from December 4, the new edition brings together an extensive selection of original productions, fresh remixes, reworked classics and new material from some of electronic music's most respected artists, including a very special artist album from long-time Bedrock collaborator Charlie May.

Spanning ambient soundscapes, progressive house, breaks, techno and peak-time club productions, Quattro IV is both a celebration of Bedrock's musical heritage and a snapshot of where the label is heading. As with previous editions, the album is divided into four distinct musical journeys, each showcasing a different facet of the label's identity. From the cinematic atmospheres of Soundscape and the rhythmic pulse of Breaks, the collection moves into Redux, featuring 11 reimagined classics from the Bedrock catalogue, before arriving at Tempo, a selection of 12 exclusive club-focused productions. Each disc is compiled and mixed by John Digweed, creating a cohesive journey that reflects the diversity of the label while maintaining the musical attention to detail that has become synonymous with the Quattro series.

Completing the package, the fifth disc continues one of the most distinctive traditions of the Quattro concept, inviting a special guest artist to take creative control of an entire album. For this edition, Bedrock welcomes long-standing collaborator Charlie May, who presents 13 original tracks under the title No Memory, No FX. Offering a fascinating insight into his studio world, the album showcases his versatility, musical depth and distinctive approach to sound design and production.

An influential figure in progressive house since the early 1990s, May first gained recognition as one half of the pioneering duo Spooky, alongside Duncan Forbes, before becoming a key creative collaborator and studio engineer for Sasha, helping shape many of his most iconic productions and live projects. His longstanding relationship with Bedrock has also seen him contribute numerous productions and remixes to the label.

Across all five discs, Quattro IV brings together an impressive roster of established Bedrock favourites and contemporary talents. Featuring music from the likes of John Digweed & Nick Muir, Pig&Dan, Stelios Vassiloudis, Quivver, Chris Fortier, Luke Brancaccio, Sandrino, Spencer Brown, Zoo Brazil, Franky Wah, Argia, Ranj Kaler, Tigerhook, Braxton, Mark Romboy, Eagles & Butterflies, Island Hill, Ian O’Donovan, 16 BL, Masaya, Blake Jarrell and many more, the album reflects the continued evolution of the label and its commitment to discovering and championing quality electronic music.

Released on December 4, Quattro IV will be available in full across Spotify, Apple Music and all major streaming platforms. 

Physical formats include a limited-edition, signed and numbered five-CD deluxe box set and a five-vinyl edition, accompanied by two additional bonus vinyl releases, Quattro Vinyl 6 & 7, alongside exclusive new merchandise.

The physical collector’s editions and merchandise are available exclusively through the Bedrock store, while the digital release can be purchased via Bandcamp.

ALAN WALKER AND JAMES ARTHUR JOIN HAMZA MALIK AND ZAIN ZOHAIB FOR GLOBAL CROSSOVER ‘ALFAAZ (ALAN WALKER RELIGHT)’

Norwegian electronic music superstar Alan Walker and British singer-songwriter James Arthur have joined forces with Pakistani artists Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib for ‘Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight)’, a new interpretation of one of Pakistan's biggest recent musical breakthroughs. Bringing together South Asian musical traditions, contemporary electronic production and English-language vocals, the collaboration marks another milestone in the original track's remarkable international journey.

Released in July 2026, the original ‘Alfaaz’ quickly became a phenomenon. Driven by Hamza Malik, whose vision and vocals were central to bringing the song to life, alongside the distinctive qawwali and Sufi influences of Zain Zohaib, the track found an audience extending far beyond Pakistan. It reached #26 on Spotify's Global Daily Top Songs chart, topped charts in India and Pakistan, made an impression on the UK's Official Asian Music Chart, and generated extraordinary engagement across social media, with over 1 million Instagram Reels and approximately 2.4 million TikTok posts featuring the original.

The song's popularity eventually caught the attention of Alan Walker, whose catalogue has amassed more than 100 billion streams worldwide. A seemingly small moment in the original ‘Alfaaz’ music video, featuring a mysterious masked figure reminiscent of Walker's iconic onstage identity, helped spark an unexpected connection between the Norwegian producer and the Pakistani artists. What began as an exchange online soon developed into a collaboration, with Walker travelling to Lahore to work alongside Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib.

The trip also provided the setting for a new music video, with Walker stepping directly into the visual world established by the original ‘Alfaaz’. Shot in approximately 12 hours, the production brings together the imagery and atmosphere of the Pakistani original with Walker's recognisable visual aesthetic, creating a continuation of the story rather than a conventional remix video.

For the new version, Walker brings his distinctive electronic production style to the composition, while James Arthur, whose music has accumulated over 16.5 billion Spotify streams, introduces an English-language vocal dimension. Together, their contributions open the track to new audiences while preserving the musical identity that made the original resonate.

Behind the release is also a deeper connection to Pakistan's rich musical history. Zain and Zohaib are the grandsons of Ustad Haji Rehmat Ali Khan, a musician who performed alongside legendary qawwali vocalist Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Having continued their family's musical tradition, the brothers represent another generation bringing qawwali to contemporary audiences.

That history carries a notable parallel. In 1990, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's ‘Mustt Mustt’, recorded with producer Michael Brook and subsequently remixed by Massive Attack, introduced his music to new audiences in the UK and beyond. More than three decades later, ‘Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight)’ brings a new electronic interpretation to a musical tradition carried forward by the family of one of Nusrat's longtime collaborators.

For Xulfi, CCO and Co-Founder of Giraffe, and an internationally recognised music producer, the project represents something greater than a collaboration: "Music is one of Pakistan's greatest strengths. That's been my core belief since I started my journey of music and my endeavours have always gravitated towards opening the global doors of music for my country, whether it's through the platforms I've worked on or through the music we work on at Giraffe.”

CEO & Co-founder @ Giraffe Muhammad Ibrahim seconded Xulfi’s enthusiasm: "Pakistan has some of the richest musical traditions in the world and a new generation of artists ready to take them global. What has often been missing is the bridge, and that is what we are building at Giraffe: an ecosystem that discovers and backs Pakistani talent and connects it with the best artists, partners and audiences anywhere. 'Alfaaz' shows what becomes possible when that bridge exists. A song made in Lahore which has found listeners around the world”

Rather than simply placing internationally recognised artists alongside an established regional hit, ‘Alfaaz (Alan Walker Relight)’ builds on a musical story already resonating across borders. From the traditions of qawwali to the global reach of electronic and pop music, the collaboration connects different generations, cultures and creative worlds while keeping the original Pakistani artists at its heart.

NICOLE MOUDABER BRINGS IN THE MOOD: RAW BACK FOR 2027 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

First edition since 2018 puts extended sets, stripped-back production and dancefloor connection at the heart of ten dates

Nicole Moudaber is bringing IN THE MOOD: RAW back to North America in 2027, announcing ten dates for the concept’s first run since 2018.

Built around the raw energy of a warehouse party, RAW puts Moudaber in her element: close to the crowd, with stripped-back production and time to go deeper. Extended sets will give her room to move between house and techno, following the energy of each dancefloor alongside a carefully selected lineup of special guests.

“Give me a dark room, a proper sound system and people ready to go with me.
That’s RAW. That warehouse energy where we’ve got time to go deep, get weird and see where the night takes us. I always play from the gut, you give it back and that’s when the magic happens. I want you sweaty, lost in the music and forgetting you had plans tomorrow !  I’ve missed this. We’re bringing it back.” Nicole Moudaber

Running from January 15th through February 27th, phase one takes in Chicago, Brooklyn, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, Montreal, Dallas, Austin & Denver so far. Highlights include a birthday celebration at Miami’s Club Space, a Los Angeles date with WORK x 6AM and a return to Montreal’s Stereo.

RAW brings that same direct, music-first approach to every stop, giving each night space to develop its own identity. Guest lineups and further tour dates will be announced soon.
