Brazilian superstar DJ and producer Alok once again pushed boundaries at Tomorrowland Brasil with a groundbreaking performance featuring over 1,000 drones soaring above the festival’s iconic Mainstage. A teaser video released in late September on Tomorrowland’s official channels, in collaboration with the artist, had already hinted at what would become one of the most ambitious shows in the festival’s history.

Alok’s relationship with Tomorrowland runs deep. As the festival’s official ambassador in Brazil, he has consistently delivered performances that blend cutting-edge technology with emotional storytelling. Last year, he amazed the audience with a stunning aerial show featuring 600 drones above Parque Maeda, synchronized with fireworks, lasers, and lights. Co-produced with Tomorrowland, the show became a landmark moment in electronic music and was voted “Best Performance of 2024” at the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs).

This time, Alok broke the Latin American record for the largest use of drones in a live music performance, with more than 1,000 choreographed drones that took his October 12 set to new heights. The show was the result of a close collaboration between Alok’s creative team and Tomorrowland’s production, delivering a multisensory experience that redefined what’s possible in live entertainment.
“Tomorrowland is more than fireworks, stages, and shows,” Alok said during his most recent performance at Tomorrowland Belgium. “It’s the energy and the vibration we carry with us, no matter where we are. It’s about rejecting the idea of the impossible.”

Alok’s presence at Tomorrowland has become a symbol of cultural representation. He has brought Brazil to the forefront of the global electronic scene, proving that music can be a powerful bridge between cultures, languages, and dreams.

With this historic performance, Alok did more than play a set. He wrote a new chapter in the story of electronic music. His partnership with Tomorrowland continues to inspire and innovate, showing how art and technology can come together to create unforgettable moments.

With a catalogue that has earned millions of streams, and an original score featured in Demi Lovato’s Child Star documentary, Blonde Maze continues to carve out a unique space at the intersection of electronic and emotional storytelling.

[item value="10"]Blonde Maze - Second Sight (Remixes) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Blonde Maze’s Second Sight (Remixes) on Enhanced Chill is a masterclass in modern electronic production, merging meticulous sound design with emotive storytelling. This four-track EP takes the lush, cinematic landscapes of the original album and refracts them through the technical artistry of some of today’s most innovative electronic producers, creating a release that feels as much a showcase of production craft as it is an emotional journey. Technical and Production Details: Each remix demonstrates a nuanced understanding of dynamics, spatial processing, and layered arrangement. Alex Baker’s reimagining of “To Love Again” with Lizzy Land leans into a minimalist, slow-burning progression. Subtle sidechained pads, carefully modulated reverb tails, and soft-filtered percussion create a sense of breathing space that unfolds over six minutes, perfect for chilled playlists or a DJ’s opening set. Datskie’s take on “Never Dream” injects a polished, groove-driven pulse. Warm analog-style basslines interweave with syncopated hi-hats and filtered arpeggios, with an emphasis on stereo imaging that gives the track a hypnotic movement. The attention to transient shaping and rhythmic swing makes it a versatile tool for downtempo DJ sets. mölly’s luminous rework of “Asleep In My Head” (featuring Polar Inc. and Channy Leaneagh of POLIÇA) is a textural triumph. Shimmering high-frequency layers, delayed guitar washes, and evolving granular synth beds create a deep, late-night atmosphere. The track’s mixdown is particularly notable for its depth, using mid/side EQ work to carve a three-dimensional listening experience. Finally, Blonde Maze’s own ambient rework of “Where the Birds Go to Hum” strips the elements back to pure emotional resonance. Field recordings of soft winds and distant birds blend with reverb-heavy piano motifs and evolving pads, ideal for meditative listening or a DJ’s ambient interlude. Why It Resonates with Chill Out Listeners and DJs: The EP is built for versatility—each track balances emotive content with precise engineering. Chill out listeners will appreciate the atmospheric depth, gentle rhythmic flow, and immersive spatial design that invite introspection. DJs will value the extended intros and outros, dynamic range, and BPM-friendly arrangements that allow for seamless blending in lounge or sunset sets. With its combination of pristine production values, emotional storytelling, and club-ready usability, Second Sight (Remixes) proves itself as both a contemplative listening experience and a practical addition to the toolkit of any chill or ambient electronic DJ. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Belgian dance music powerhouse Dimitri Vegas has unveiled his 2025 Americas Tour, a high-velocity run of club shows and festival appearances that cements his ongoing evolution from mainstage icon to multifaceted global artist. Known for his stadium-filling energy and arena-sized anthems, Dimitri is now doubling down on a refreshed creative vision that blends the bold energy of mainstage with the underground, and this new tour reflects exactly that.



Having kicked off on 10th October at Sonilum Arena in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, the tour stretches across four countries and 12 cities, including a return to Tomorrowland Brasil in Itu, before a stateside run that takes him through major dance capitals like New York, Washington D.C., Las Vegas and Chicago. The tour wraps on 15th November at Festival Internacional del Globo in León, Mexico, following a key Canadian date at Vancouver’s Harbour.

The announcement follows a year of creative expansion for Dimitri Vegas. While continuing to dominate global stages and ranking once again in the top 5 in the Top100DJs poll alongside his brother Like Mike, he has recently explored a broader sonic spectrum in both his sets and productions. From all-vinyl techno sets at Tomorrowland to experimental cuts like ‘Heroine’ and ‘Yeah,’ the MainStage remix anthem ‘Woops’ with Junkie Kid and crafting a drum & bass-style track with Loreen and David Guetta. Dimitri is pushing his sound into fresh territory without losing the high-impact DNA that’s defined his career, as both a solo and duo artist.

This tour will reflect that duality: cinematic production, hard-hitting dancefloor energy, and an increasing willingness to blur genre lines. Whether playing mega-clubs like Marquee and Echostage or outdoor spectacles like Escape Psycho Circus, each show will offer fans a tightly curated experience that speaks to where Dimitri Vegas is right now, and where he’s heading next.

[item value="10"]PRAANA & Freddie Elmberg - When I Need You [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]PRAANA’s latest release, “When I Need You” featuring vocalist Freddie Elmberg, is a masterclass in modern progressive house production and the fourth single from their forthcoming Colorize album. The track immediately captivates with its rich, cinematic soundscape—a hallmark of PRAANA’s style—before opening into a 122 BPM groove that balances hypnotic drive with ethereal textures. From a technical perspective, the production shines with meticulous attention to detail. Layered, glowing synth pads create a lush harmonic bed, while tight, sidechained bass pulses lock seamlessly with crisp, punchy percussion. Subtle arpeggios and evolving filter sweeps add a sense of motion, maintaining energy without ever overwhelming the vocal. Freddie Elmberg’s performance is both intimate and soaring, treated with delicate reverb and spatial effects that immerse the listener in a dreamlike atmosphere.

In essence, this release isn’t just a track—it’s an experience, embodying the progressive ethos of slow-burning tension, cathartic release, and sonic storytelling. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Sunny Lax completes his vision with Eternal Return, the full EP on Enhanced Progressive. Following the acclaimed singles Amadeus and Samsara, the Hungarian producer delivers a sweeping collection that captures his signature blend of cinematic depth and melodic power. With support from Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk and other trance luminaries, Sunny Lax continues to stand at the forefront of progressive and trance. His performances in San Francisco, Houston, London and Corfu have further showcased his craft, and Eternal Return arrives as a statement release.






Dimitris Kechagias Review:
[review top="1"]
[item value="10"]Sunny Lax - Eternal Return[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Sunny Lax’s Eternal Return EP is a masterclass in progressive trance production, demonstrating not just melodic sensibility but also a deep understanding of modern mixing and sound design. Across its four tracks, Sunny Lax leverages precise arrangement techniques, advanced synthesis, and spatial engineering to craft a release that DJs will enthusiastically embrace for its club-ready structures and dynamic sonic palette. 1. Amadeus, Opening the EP at 128 BPM, Amadeus immediately sets a high production standard. The track is driven by a layered sub and mid-bass combination, carefully sidechained to the kick to maintain low-end clarity. Sunny Lax utilizes a mix of analog-modeled plucks and airy arpeggiators, enhanced with wide stereo imaging and long-tail reverb sends to create a cinematic sense of space. The percussion design is crisp yet unobtrusive, with transient shaping used to allow the hats and claps to cut through without masking the melodic elements. DJs will appreciate the extended intro and outro sections, which feature filtered elements and consistent energy, making this track exceptionally easy to mix into a set. 2. Samsara, Continuing the journey with hypnotic intensity, Samsara thrives on a rolling bassline that subtly morphs via modulation automation, adding movement without overloading the mix. The hi-hat programming evolves across the arrangement, starting with closed, dry textures and opening into brighter, more washy hats during the peak sections. Sound design here leans on FM pads and granular layers to create a euphoric yet controlled atmosphere, perfect for mid-set progression. DJs will love the track’s energy curve: smooth frequency builds, tasteful uplifters, and breakdowns that resolve into satisfying drops without abrupt transitions. 3. Eternal Return, The title track is the emotional centerpiece of the EP. Built on a foundation of deep, rolling low-end, Sunny Lax employs multi-band compression to keep the bass tight while leaving room for soaring leads in the upper spectrum. The breakdown showcases his cinematic instincts, stripping back to lush pads, reversed effects, and melodic swells that bloom into a wide stereo field. Subtle automation of reverb and delay parameters gives the leads a floating quality that resonates on large sound systems. Its carefully structured phrasing ensures DJs can cue and loop the track’s climactic sections with ease, making it a reliable peak-time weapon. 4. Troth, Closing the EP at a slightly slower 125 BPM, Troth delves into darker territory. The basslines are gritty and lightly saturated, achieving warmth through harmonic layering rather than sheer volume. Minimal percussion—accented by precisely timed shakers, rim hits, and short reverb tails—creates tension while leaving headroom for the moody melodic motifs to unfold. LFO-driven filter sweeps and subtle automation inject life into the arrangement, rewarding attentive listeners while providing DJs with a versatile transition track to bridge into deeper progressive or melodic techno segments. Why DJs Will Adore This EP: Club-Optimized Structure: Each track features extended intros and outros, giving DJs plenty of room for seamless mixing. Dynamic Energy Curves: The EP balances hypnotic progression with powerful drops, ideal for constructing fluid set narratives. Polished Production: Crystal-clear mixing and careful frequency management ensure these tracks translate perfectly from headphones to large festival systems. Emotional Versatility: From euphoric peaks to moody closers, the EP offers tools for different moments in a set. Sunny Lax’s Eternal Return is not only a testament to his technical expertise but also an EP that speaks directly to DJs seeking tracks that combine musicality, functionality, and immersive sound design. #PureGold Love iT [/content]

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Originally interpreted by Paul Skelton, Andy Newtz, and Tara Greene, Angel honors the timeless composition by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand while elevating it into pure trance territory. Now, two technically brilliant remixes by Ciaran McAuley and Michael Alan are added for your pleasure, each showcasing impeccable production craft and attention to detail. Michael Alan delivers a progressive trance version at 130 BPM, meticulously built with electro‑tinged basslines, punchy, tightly‑compressed kicks, and chunky midrange grooves. His sound design emphasizes dynamic layering, with soaring euphoric synth leads that swell into a massive, wide‑stereo climax—perfect for DJs who love tracks that sit neatly in a progressive set yet burst with peak‑time energy. The careful EQ balancing and smooth transitions make it a mixing dream, ensuring it glides into any set without compromising its energy. Ciaran McAuley’s 138 BPM remix, on the other hand, is a masterclass in uplifting euphoric vocal trance production. Trance DJs will adore the way he integrates pulsating rolling basslines, carefully sidechained to the pounding kicks, while the lush piano chords and orchestral string harmonies lift the track into an emotional, atmospheric space. The arrangement builds with surgical precision, culminating in a breathtaking, high‑energy climax that’s drenched in reverb and delay, giving it that expansive, festival‑ready feel. The vocal treatment is pristine, with crystal‑clear processing that lets Tara Greene’s delivery soar above the instrumental without ever being overpowered. Both versions are engineered with the DJ in mind—Michael Alan’s for progressive, groove‑driven sets, and Ciaran McAuley’s for peak‑hour euphoric moments. The dual release is a gift for trance artists and fans alike, delivering technical excellence and emotional depth in equal measure. #PureGold #LoveiT

A tour of all dancefloors at the festival grounds of Tomorrowland Brasil 2025

People of Tomorrow from all corners of the world have made it to the first day of Tomorrowland Brasil 2025 in the beautiful festival area of Parque Maeda in Itu, São Paulo. Tomorrowland’s magic is made in large part by its stages. As you will have noticed by now, there’s never a dull moment as you switch between styles such as big room, (hard) techno, psytrance, house, drum & bass, and hardstyle in front of varying backdrops. What’s more, the stages are always a visual fit to the walls of sound they host. Everything, in other words, is taken care of when it comes to the best settings for dancing. And just in case you missed something so far, here’s a tour of all stages.




‘LIFE’ Mainstage

The breathtaking ‘LIFE’ Mainstage is the undisputed centerpiece of Tomorrowland Brasil 2025, the one all People of Tomorrow are always most excited to see. A story set in the mythical realm of Silvyra, it’s a world unto its own, filled with creatures, plant life, and people living in harmony, each with their own stories, with the diversity of Silvyra’s lush nature represented in the spectacular Mainstage. ‘LIFE’ is the prequel of the 2016 ‘Elixir of Life’ theme, exploring the origin of this famous potion that heals all ailments of the mind and body. The ‘LIFE’ theme shines a light on the origin of Mother Tree and her protector the Maze, the first brewage of the Elixir of Life and the genesis of the magnificent Rose Garden, all becoming iconic Tomorrowland elements many years later. A story fueled by the ancient force of the cosmos, this will no doubt represent another mind-bending chapter in the greater story of Tomorrowland.

Following many years of tradition, the breathtaking ‘LIFE’ stage was brought to life by Tomorrowland’s creative team and is 100% crafted in-house at Tomorrowland, from idea to realization and made with love and passion. For over 2 years from first sketches to production, Tomorrowland’s in-house creative department worked tirelessly with passion and dedication to bring the magical stage to life. The breathtaking stage was first unveiled at Tomorrowland’s special 20-year anniversary edition in Belgium in 2024 and will now find a new home at the festival grounds of Parque Maeda in Brazil.




Freedom Stage by Budweiser

The legendary Freedom Stage by Budweiser has travelled again to the magical grounds of Parque Maeda. A huge indoor club armed with a massive LED backdrop, giant dragonflies, and spotlights scanning the room, the Freedom Stage by Budweiser is a technical feat of epic proportions, set to immerse festivalgoers in an incredible audiovisual experience, guided by the sounds of the finest acts in the underground scene.




Crystal Garden

For the very first time, Tomorrowland Brasil welcomes the enchanting Crystal Garden. Known as one of the Belgian festival’s most beloved stages, the Crystal Garden will bring its unique atmosphere and magical energy all the way to Brazil, creating unforgettable moments for People of Tomorrow to celebrate together under the sun.




CORE

The naturally beautiful atmosphere of Tomorrowland Brasil wouldn’t be the same without the magic and underground essence of the legendary CORE stage, blending an immersive mix of alternative house and techno music alongside a spectacular audiovisual experience. Making its way to Brazil to end the year in style, CORE is going global in 2026 as it travels to Colombia (Medellín), the United States (Los Angeles), and Australia (Melbourne) with a series of unique festivals that blend music and nature.

Entirely designed and crafted in-house by Tomorrowland’s renowned creative team, the CORE stage takes festivalgoers on a truly immersive multi-sensory journey, enveloped in a symphony of lights, dynamic videos, and enchanting scents and surrounded by nature and deeper sounds. The stage’s rocky structure, intertwined with nature and water elements, is breathtaking on its own, but gets even better as impressive lights and laser beams dance around the stage. With sunlight as a backdrop, the stage will create a perfect, cheerful atmosphere, seamlessly blending into the rich scenery and natural beauty of Parque Maeda. As night falls, prepare to embark on a deeper journey, guided by the central video wall into realms of more dark dreams.




Morpho

Festivalgoers can also prepare for the debut of the brand-new Morpho stage, ready to welcome some of the finest artists in psytrance and progressive house. Ready to make its introduction in Brazil, the entirely new Morpho stage is inspired by the dragonfly stage design at Tomorrowland’s residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza in 2024.
