  • Martin Garrix Debuts Unreleased Madonna Collaboration ‘Bizarre’ In New York

    Martin Garrix Martin Garrix has debuted a new unreleased collaboration with Madonna titled ‘Bizarre’ during a run of performances in New York City. The track was first premiered during Garrix’s headline performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on 13th June before later appearing again during an afterparty set at Marquee New York. Clips from both performances quickly spread across social media after fans recognised Madonna’s vocals within the track. While Garrix initially kept details vague during the Barclays Center performance, reports from the Marquee afterparty claim the Dutch producer later confirmed directly on the microphone that the song was indeed a collaboration with Madonna. ICYMI: Dave Pearce Brings ‘Trance Anthems Day Party’ To NX Newcastle This October Carl Cox Awarded OBE In King’s Birthday Honours List PURIFIED Brings Summer Solstice Open-Air Party To London’s The Cause Garrix also appeared to reference the collaboration online shortly afterwards, posting “Bizarre night 3 in New York! @madonna” across social media following the performances. According to DJ Mag, the track is expected to feature on Madonna’s forthcoming album ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II’, the long-rumoured sequel to her hugely influential 2005 electronic pop album. Sonically, early footage suggests ‘Bizarre’ leans into emotionally charged electronic pop and melodic club production, combining Madonna’s unmistakable vocal presence with Garrix’s modern festival-focused sound design. The collaboration also follows recent comments from Garrix hinting at upcoming work with artists he “never thought” he would collaborate with. In earlier interviews, the producer described recently feeling starstruck while recording with an unnamed female artist in New York, widely believed now to have been Madonna herself. The surprise debut immediately generated major excitement online, not only because of the collaboration itself, but because it bridges two generations of dance music culture, pairing one of electronic music’s biggest modern festival headliners with one of pop’s most influential figures in club music history. At the time of writing, no official release date for ‘Bizarre’ has been confirmed.

  • Electronic Music Industry Pays Tribute Following Death Of Artist Manager Leticia van Riel

    Leticia van Riel The global electronic music community is mourning the loss of respected artist manager Leticia van Riel, who has died following a car accident in Ibiza. Founder of LvR Management, van Riel spent nearly two decades helping shape careers across the international electronic scene, working closely with artists including Sama’ Abdulhadi, Miss Monique, ANNA and Wehbba. Originally from Brazil, van Riel began her music industry career in London after studying event marketing management before later relocating to Spain. Across roles at agencies including MN2S, IMD and Safehouse, she steadily became one of the most respected artist managers working within underground electronic music before launching LvR Management in 2018. Alongside her artist management work, she also became widely recognised for mentoring and supporting emerging professionals through initiatives such as the LvR Mentoring programme, helping open doors for younger talent entering the industry. ICYMI: Carl Cox Awarded OBE In King’s Birthday Honours List Deezer Launches AI Music Detector Across 20 Streaming Platforms Criminal Complaint Filed Against Shlømo In Paris Court Tributes have continued pouring in from across the electronic music world since the news broke. International Music Summit described van Riel as “a force within the electronic music industry” whose generosity and commitment left a lasting impact on artists, colleagues and friends alike. Sama’ Abdulhadi also shared an emotional tribute while cancelling a scheduled festival performance, writing that van Riel “wasn’t just my manager, she was my friend, my support and my family.” Beyond the artists she managed directly, van Riel became known throughout the wider dance music community for her warmth, positivity and unwavering support of the people around her. Her passing leaves a significant void within the global electronic music industry and among the many artists, collaborators and friends whose careers and lives she helped shape.

  • Sennheiser Unveils New Flagship MOMENTUM 5 Wireless Headphones

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5 Sennheiser has officially unveiled its new MOMENTUM 5 Wireless headphones, introducing upgraded active noise cancelling, Dolby Atmos support and a user-replaceable battery system aimed at extending long-term product lifespan. Positioned as the successor to the widely praised MOMENTUM 4 Wireless, the new model arrives nearly four years later with a range of hardware and software upgrades focused on both sound quality and durability. The headphones retain Sennheiser’s 42mm transducers while introducing support for Snapdragon Sound and aptX Lossless streaming, alongside Bluetooth 5.4 with future Bluetooth 6.0 compatibility planned through firmware updates. Dolby Atmos spatial audio with head tracking will also be supported through the company’s Smart Control Plus app. One of the biggest talking points surrounding the release is the introduction of a user-replaceable 700mAh battery. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, owners can replace the battery themselves rather than replacing the headphones entirely once battery performance declines. Battery life remains a major focus for the brand. Despite dropping slightly from the previous generation, the MOMENTUM 5 still offers up to 57 hours of playback with ANC enabled, significantly outperforming many competitors currently on the market. Sennheiser has also doubled the number of microphones used for active noise cancelling and transparency modes, with four microphones now positioned on each ear cup to improve voice isolation and call clarity. Early reviews have largely praised the headphones for sound quality, battery longevity and comfort, while some critics noted that ANC performance still falls slightly behind flagship models from Sony and Bose. The MOMENTUM 5 Wireless launches in black, white and denim colourways, with UK sales beginning 30th June at a retail price of £329.90. Pre-order the MOMENTUM 5 here.

  • SoundCloud Cuts Hypeddit API Access, Disrupting Free Download Campaigns

    SoundCloud has paused Hypeddit’s API connection, significantly disrupting the follow-for-download system long used by electronic music producers to grow audiences through free download campaigns. For years, producers relied on platforms like Hypeddit to offer free downloads in exchange for SoundCloud follows, reposts or likes. Fans previously had to log into SoundCloud and complete those engagement actions before unlocking tracks. That automated process has now effectively been disabled. While download gates still exist visually inside Hypeddit campaigns, the SoundCloud engagement steps are now optional rather than enforced. Users can access downloads without following through on reposts, follows or likes. The move has already sparked concern across producer communities, particularly within electronic music where free edits, bootlegs and remix giveaways have played a major role in audience growth for independent artists over the last decade. ICYMI: Sennheiser Unveils New Flagship MOMENTUM 5 Wireless Headphones Deezer Launches AI Music Detector Across 20 Streaming Platforms UK Nightlife Venues Turn World Cup 2026 Into Late-Night Club Culture Experience In a statement to users, Hypeddit founder John Gold confirmed the API connection had been paused by SoundCloud rather than removed voluntarily by Hypeddit itself. He also acknowledged that artists should expect lower engagement numbers from gate campaigns moving forward. “Sometimes streaming platforms have to navigate pressure from parts of the industry around what third-party tools integrate with their platforms,” Gold explained. The wider impact could be significant for independent producers who built entire growth strategies around SoundCloud repost culture and free download exchanges. Hypeddit has since begun encouraging users to focus more heavily on owned audience channels such as email capture and Spotify saves instead. The situation also highlights the growing instability of platform-dependent growth tactics within modern music marketing. Many artist promotion tools rely heavily on third-party integrations and API access that can change or disappear with little warning. Despite the disruption, Hypeddit said it remains in communication with SoundCloud and is “optimistic” about restoring the integration in some form moving forward.

  • Prospa’s ‘Free Your Mind’ Is A Euphoric Dancefloor Statement Built For The Long Haul

    Prospa There’s a point during ‘Free Your Mind’ where it becomes impossible not to realise that Prospa are operating on a completely different level now. Not just in terms of popularity, collaborations or streaming numbers, but in how confidently Harvey Blumler and Gosha Smith understand exactly what makes people feel something on a dancefloor. That’s the real magic of this album. At a time where a lot of electronic albums feel more like disconnected streaming playlists stitched together for algorithms, ‘Free Your Mind’ feels intentionally built as a complete journey. The pacing matters. The emotional peaks matter. The transitions matter. Every track feels connected to the wider identity of the record without sacrificing individuality. And somehow, despite pulling influence from classic rave, deep house, UK club culture, crossover electronic music and modern festival energy, none of it ever feels forced or overthought. Across ten tracks, the Leeds duo fuse huge crossover appeal with genuine dancefloor credibility, balancing soulful nostalgia, rolling low-end pressure, euphoric songwriting and club functionality without ever sounding like they’re chasing trends. If anything, ‘Free Your Mind’ feels like the sound of two artists fully settling into their identity while simultaneously pushing it forward. For long-time fans, there are familiar emotional threads running throughout. The pull of ‘Prayer’, the addictive vocal hooks of ‘Ecstasy (Over & Over)’ and the widescreen uplift of records like ‘Want Need Love’ are all embedded into the DNA of this project. But this feels bigger. Sharper. More complete. ‘Love Songs’ immediately reintroduces the duo’s archetypal sound palette. Undulating basslines, nostalgic deep house textures and rich vocal soul combine into one of the album’s standout moments. It captures that unmistakable Prospa feeling of melancholy and movement existing together in the same space. ‘The Situation’ pushes things further into racier territory. Faster, punchier and packed with swagger, it carries a skippy energy reminiscent of the more groove-led corners of modern UK house music. Roaring low-end movement collides with subtly oriental-leaning melodic accents, while the vocal performance injects another layer of irresistible soul. It’s ridiculously moreish. The title track alongside Cloonee already feels like one of the defining electronic records of 2026. Since first appearing in DJ sets, ‘Free Your Mind’ has snowballed into a genuine anthem, and hearing it within the context of the album only reinforces how brilliantly constructed it actually is. The vocal hook is instantly memorable, the bassline feels engineered to detonate crowds, and the arrangement constantly teases and releases tension with surgical precision. Months later, you’ll still catch yourself randomly singing it without warning. What’s impressive is how naturally Prospa navigate crossover territory without sacrificing the emotional tension that made records like ‘Prayer’ resonate so heavily in the first place. Even at their biggest and most accessible, there’s still real feeling inside these tracks. Collaboration plays a huge role across the LP, but none of them feel opportunistic. ‘Break Free’ with KETTAMA leans into chunkier, higher tempo grooves while still retaining the emotional undercurrent that makes Prospa records hit differently. Silky pads and deceptively simple synth work prove that less really can be more when executed properly. ‘Body Heat’ brings back Kosmo Kint for another analogue-laced soulful roller that somehow feels like 1984 and 2014 simultaneously. Vinyl crackle drifts over warm grooves and melancholic textures, creating one of the album’s most understated but effective moments. Then comes ‘Let The Music’. Quite simply, one of the best tracks Prospa have ever made. From the opening chords that instantly evoke old-school rave euphoria to the uplifting vocal topline and perfectly balanced low-end progression, everything here lands exactly where it should. Nothing about it feels overcomplicated. The genius lies in the restraint. Every element exists in the exact right amount. It’s touching, euphoric, soulful and impossible not to move to. And the buildups are outrageous. Few electronic tracks in recent memory capture the emotional release of a packed dancefloor quite like this one does. Play it ridiculously loud and let it completely consume you. Elsewhere, ‘Party People’ with Nafe Smallz injects pure late-night chaos into the album with bouncy hooks and undeniable energy, while ‘Baby’ alongside Murda Beatz somehow makes the idea of hearing “Murda on the beat so it’s not nice” inside DC10 feel completely natural. It shouldn’t work as well as it does. But it absolutely does. Closing track ‘Dreams’ rounds things off perfectly. Great closing tracks should feel celebratory rather than final, and this one captures exactly that feeling. Soulful vocals, vivid harmonies and uplifting movement carry the album out on a genuine high, almost as if the duo are reminding you one final time exactly why their music connects so deeply in the first place. What makes ‘Free Your Mind’ so impressive is that despite all the crossover potential, none of it feels watered down. This is still a proper dancefloor album. It understands tension, release, groove and emotion in equal measure. It feels built for sweaty clubs, sunrise afters, huge festival moments and deeply personal headphone sessions all at once. And somehow, it still feels like Prospa are only getting started. For a duo who already possess one of the most recognisable emotional signatures in modern UK electronic music, this album feels less like a peak and more like another massive step upward. Live long and Prospa <3

  • Music World Mourns Death Of Oliver Tree Following Helicopter Crash In Brazil

    Oliver Tree Oliver Tree has reportedly died aged 32 following a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to reports from Brazilian authorities and multiple international news outlets, two helicopters collided mid-air above the Recreio dos Bandeirantes district on Sunday morning, killing all six people onboard. One of the aircraft later crashed into a car dealership, causing a major fire that reportedly destroyed multiple vehicles. While official identification processes were still ongoing due to the severity of the incident, Oliver Tree was listed among the passengers on the flight manifest. Born Oliver Tree Nickell in Santa Cruz, California, the artist became one of the internet era’s most recognisable alternative pop figures through a combination of viral music, surreal visuals and deliberately eccentric character work. Tracks including Life Goes On, Miss You and Alien Boy helped establish a global audience spanning electronic music, pop and online culture. ICYMI: SoundCloud Cuts Hypeddit API Access, Disrupting Free Download Campaigns Carl Cox Awarded OBE In King’s Birthday Honours List Criminal Complaint Filed Against Shlømo In Paris Court Tree first gained wider attention following the viral success of ‘When I’m Down’ before signing to Atlantic Records and releasing projects including ‘Ugly Is Beautiful’, ‘Cowboy Tears’ and most recently ‘Love You Madly Hate You Badly’ earlier this year. Known for directing many of his own music videos and blending absurdist humour with emotionally vulnerable songwriting, Tree built a career that often sat outside traditional genre boundaries while still connecting with massive online audiences worldwide. Tributes from artists, creators and fans have already begun appearing across social media following news of the crash, with many reflecting on the unique creativity and individuality that defined Tree’s work and public identity. An investigation into the cause of the collision remains ongoing.

  • Nutritious On New York Club Culture, Analogue Instincts And The Energy Behind ‘Freefall’

    Nutritious Nutritious has spent decades moving through different corners of dance music without ever sounding tied to one particular scene. Raised in New York during an era when club culture still revolved around local communities, long-form sets and physical spaces, he developed an approach shaped less by genre and more by feeling, movement and atmosphere. That mentality still defines his work today. Whether blending cosmic disco, deep house, indie dance, nu-disco or techno, there is always a clear sense of musical identity running through it all, something rooted in instinct rather than category. It is a perspective that has taken him from East Village all-night sessions to major stages including Art Basel, Ultra Music Festival, Pikes Ibiza and Miami Music Week, while also helping establish his own imprint Liquid Culture as a platform centred around depth, intention and community. His latest EP ‘Freefall’, currently climbing Beatport’s Top 10 Releases chart, captures that philosophy clearly. Built around themes of surrender, movement and emotional release, the project continues a strong run of recent material following ‘Ether’, which became one of the most played tracks on SiriusXM with over 400 spins to date. For Nutritious, though, everything still begins with understanding energy on a human level rather than approaching DJing or production as purely technical exercises. “Some people think about reading a room like it’s a technical skill,” he says, reflecting on his formative all-night sets in New York’s East Village scene. “But at the centre of it, it’s very human. People came to dance, connect and feel something.” Those marathon sessions became foundational to the way he still approaches music today. “The room tells you what it needs,” he explains. “The hour, the sound system, the lights, the energy on the floor, the first record that makes people loosen up. You learn when to push, when to let something breathe and how to keep the whole night alive by choosing incredible music played with complete conviction.” That openness to movement between styles has remained central throughout his career. Rather than seeing genre as identity, he views taste and emotional consistency as the true connective tissue between records. “I don’t believe identity comes from genre,” he says. “Genre is too scattered now to carry that much meaning.” Instead, what matters is whether the music itself feels honest and emotionally undeniable. “If the songs are honest, well produced and the sequence feels right, you can move through a lot of worlds without losing the thread,” he explains. “I trust my ear more than categories.” Part of that instinctive approach comes from learning during an analogue era built around cassette tapes and vinyl rather than digital precision. “When you come up in the analogue domain, nothing is smoothing the edges for you,” he says. “You have to understand imperfection, timing, tension, texture and physical movement.” That process forced DJs to become more instinctive and adaptable. “With vinyl, you have to earn the transition,” he explains. “That made me musical in the booth and on stage. More physical, more alive to what can happen in the moment.” For Nutritious, a great set should feel completely unique to the environment surrounding it. “A set should feel like it could only have happened once,” he says. “At that time, at that place, with those people.” That same philosophy runs through ‘Freefall’, a record built around emotional momentum and surrender rather than pure functionality. “Love, passion, faith,” he says when describing the EP’s central feeling. “‘Freefall’ is about surrendering to something more powerful than control.” Across its three versions, the project explores that emotional space from different angles. The title track leans into movement and forward motion, while ‘Spiral’ introduces more raw soul, classic house influence and spiritual energy. “Three songs,” he says. “One feeling explored from different angles.” Alongside the release itself, his Liquid Culture imprint continues becoming a deeper reflection of where he sits creatively right now. Rather than functioning simply as another dance label, Nutritious sees it as an extension of a broader philosophy around music, wellness and cultural connection. “Music isn’t decoration,” he says. “It’s essential to life. Like sunlight, air or water.” That mindset also explains the meaning behind the name Nutritious itself, something tied closely to his wider work across wellness, publishing, film and mental health spaces outside club culture. “Music is energy like food is energy,” he explains. “A performance is energy.” For him, ancient ideas around rhythm, ceremony and emotional connection still feel deeply relevant to modern electronic music culture. “Ancient cultures understood that sound, rhythm, movement and ceremony weren’t separate from wellbeing,” he says. “They were part of how people stayed connected to themselves and each other.” That wider worldview naturally feeds back into his creative process too. Across publishing, psychedelics media, film scoring and cultural projects, he sees all disciplines sharpening the same creative instinct rather than existing separately. “Film deepens your sense of scene,” he says. “Publishing teaches you how ideas move. Psychedelics and wellness point towards perception, transformation and what people are really seeking beneath the surface.” Ultimately though, whether behind the decks or in the studio, the core intention remains simple. “I’m more interested in music that carries depth and beauty and lifts people,” he says. Rather than chasing intensity for its own sake, he wants records and performances to leave listeners feeling expanded rather than depleted. “That’s what interests me,” he says. “Music that opens minds, raises the vibe and leaves people feeling more alive.” Nutritious https://www.instagram.com/djnutritious https://open.spotify.com/artist/5H2UfM6XZEtSjQxksRLqCz https://soundcloud.com/djnutritious
