Featuring loaded productions of multiple synths, bass, relentless but light rhythms and occasional vocals, Nite sees the multi-instrumentalist Mathias move away from the organic and into the programmed world of samples, synths, and LFOs. The result is an impressively melodic, often euphoric listen, that falls somewhere between the likes of raver EDM and Daft Punk.

Italian-Venezuelan composer and producer Sarah R Jay, currently based in the UAE, creates intoxicating audio tapestries that completely envelop listeners – the sort of intricately designed, colourful yet melodic fusion of genres that’s imaginative and euphoric to escape into.
Impressively creative, melodic and light – a project quite perfectly titled. Chill Guru Beats sets the mood with acoustic fingerstyle guitar and euphoric ambient design, for the five track EP Dreamscape EDM Project (Vol1).
Proxxes achieves a fine balance of all essential elements as a contemporary DJ. The skill require to let euphoric and evocative music fully embrace its listeners, alongside the creative ambition and heart to make something that feels genuine and ethereal. Weave in that inherent versatility, and whilst the Proxxes style becomes easy to recognise, no two tracks are ever the same.
Euphoric House production and passionate vocal storytelling unite, for the anthemic escapism and ode to the joy of the rave that is Chiron Loxton’s Right Now.
Euphoric dance-pop with a breathy softness and emotional core. LA songwriter and artist Louis Torre accesses the beating heart of California living, with the emotional poignancy and sublime production of new single feel something.
As things evolve, the intense distortion and fog of the vocal and fuller soundscape injects a clear redirection of character – another balancing of lightness and weight, amidst a strangely intoxicating or dreamlike audio set-up.
Emotionally loaded pop songwriting meets the euphoric pace and embrace of dance, as Lexington’s indie gem Nathan Morris delivers the soulful and vulnerable summer anthem that is Villain.
The sheer joy of a summer anthem rooted in the glory and unity of football celebration – Tartan Army ’24 bring back the high-octane beauty and melodic appeal of 90’s dance, for their musical ode to supporting Scotland in this year’s UEFA Championship.
The pop-inspired hook keeps things poetic and personal, simple and easy to sing along to, and meanwhile the heavier, perhaps dirtier sounding bass, beat and synth combo balances things out with the alternative underground energy that consistently draws a crowd.
Drum and Bass has been through a hellish realm of copycat construction over the decades. The genre peaked back in the 2000s, and though it never lost its appeal within the rave and club scenes, the original essence of creativity seemed to lose its grip in favour of simple energy and beat repeats.
Enter Austrian producer dnbmoo, with one of the most intoxicating and refreshingly humble original drum and bass releases in quite some time.
Raising the pace distinctly since her last few solo releases, the ever-recognisable vocalist and pop powerhouse Veronica Largiu delivers an anthemic EDM single – one that fuses elements of disco and modern dance with her iconic and mighty vocal style.
