Electronic music luminary Lilly Palmer, celebrated as one of the most exciting international artists in the techno scene, teams up with esteemed Dutch DJ and producer Maddix, renowned for his high-energy drops and festival anthems, for their first ever collaboration “Late At Night”.
"Working with Maddix was simply fantastic. I have rarely worked so efficiently with someone on a collaboration and had so much fun at the same time. I think you can hear that perfectly in the track”, Lilly says. “Late At Night is one of my most important releases because it somehow reflects my own energy 1 to 1. I think the power of the track in combination with the vocals fits me and Maddix perfectly.“
Featuring an iconic sample from Audio Bullys' classic “We Don't Care”, their explosive track brings a unique and electrifying vibe that marks a new dimension of energy and signature techno sound. The track, out today on Kontor Records and Armada Music, is a brilliant new addition to Lilly Palmer’s groundbreaking releases with her home labels since the start of their collaboration at the beginning of 2024.
Maddix recalls: "Lilly and I got in touch through social media and have been playing each other’s music for a while now. I don’t think I’ve played a set without a track of her in it for a long time! We decided to work on a track together in 2024 and played the first draft of this track at our B2B during my All Day Rave in Amsterdam. It is one of my favorite tracks now! It brings so much energy. After playing „Late At Night“ out everywhere and seeing the energy it brought to the crowd, we knew we wanted to do more B2B sets and, even more importantly, create more collabs together.“
Already a massive hit on social media and championed by superstar DJs like Amelie Lens, Armin van Buuren, HI-LO, Space 92 and many more this dancefloor destroyer will continue to take over dancefloors worldwide by storm. This flashing festival anthem is meant to be enjoyed out loud, giving listeners the perfect fuel to keep moving until the brink of dawn.

[item value="10"]Lilly Palmer, Maddix - Late At Night[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Lilly Palmer and Maddix have crafted an electrifying techno masterpiece with "Late At Night," a track that pulsates through dancefloors around the globe. Delving deeper into its production details reveals the meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge techniques that underpin this high-energy anthem. The track operates at a driving 150 BPM, characteristic of MainStage techno, which provides a relentless, energetic pulse tailored for festival environments. The foundation is a hard-hitting, punchy kick drum that forms the backbone of the rhythm section. It’s layered with rough, textured drums that add a raw, gritty dimension, creating a dynamic percussive landscape that keeps the momentum surging. One of the standout features is the aggressive, distorted bassline, crafted using advanced synthesis techniques. This bassline is likely shaped through a combination of analog synths and digital processing, employing saturation and overdrive to achieve its searing intensity. Sidechain compression is applied meticulously, allowing the kick drum to punch through the mix while maintaining the bass’s presence and power. The euphoric rave-infused synth hook is another technical marvel. Utilizing a blend of saw waves with rich harmonic content, the synth is processed with reverb and delay effects to create a spacious, anthemic feel. The modulation of filter cutoffs and resonance adds movement and evolution throughout the track, maintaining listener engagement. Vocal processing plays a pivotal role, featuring the iconic sample from Audio Bullys' classic "We Don’t Care." The sample is expertly chopped and manipulated, pitch-shifted, and treated with effects like reverb, delay, and subtle distortion to integrate seamlessly with the track’s modern aesthetic while evoking a nostalgic edge. The arrangement showcases expert automation, ensuring smooth transitions and dynamic builds. High-pass filters sweep out the low end during breakdowns, creating tension before dropping back into the full-frequency onslaught, characteristic of festival anthems. Supported by industry heavyweights like Amelie Lens, Armin van Buuren, and Hi-Lo, "Late At Night" exemplifies top-tier techno production. It’s a masterclass in balancing relentless energy with meticulous sound design, making it an unforgettable addition to any setlist. #PureGold Love iT [/content]

In a world- first collaboration, Maddix and Gabry Ponte, two of modern dance music’s most formidable names, collide and the result is ‘Hellfire.’ Out now on Extatic Records.


Going four-to-the-floor on an impounding techno beat ‘Hellfire’ pushes dancefloor extremities to the edge. Chilling echoes of choir singing ring out in chorus across the high-intensity composition bringing an ethereal and other-worldly level drama to ‘Hellfire.’ Both producers flex their dynamism in the studio when it comes to the intricate detail applied to such voluminous output. From the siren alarms which usher to the foreground, to the hair-raising anticipation built in the final explosive drop. There’s no doubt that ‘Hellfire’ calls for a mainstage, stadium-scale sound system to experience its velocity full.


Landing on Maddix’s own Extatic Records which launched in 2023 under Revealed Recordings, ‘Hellfire’ is a direct example of the rave-ready sound that has rocketed the Dutch DJ/producer to the frontline of electronic music in recent years. Support for Maddix’s piercing techno kicks has been vast in appeal, from Deborah de Luca and Amelie Lens to long-standing ally Hardwell, and fan-adornment from over 5 million monthly Spotify listeners. Currently #69 in the Top100 DJs Poll it comes as no surprise that Maddix’s jam-packed tour schedule sees him tear up the floors on all the biggest festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland and all EDC editions worldwide.


Italian maestro Gabry Ponte is similarly boundless by nature. From his Grammy-nominated breakout single ‘Blue (da ba dee)’ in 1998 as part of Eiffel 65, to his next looming milestone as the first DJ to headline Milan’s famous San Siro Stadium in June 2025, Gabry Ponte has dedicated his life to the cause of dance music. The secret to his success? Versatility. Gabry Ponte’s musical output has included all-star collaborations with the likes of Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Timmy Trumpet, but he also seeks to connect with fresh scene tastemakers, like T78 and CERES. The latter releasing on his new PENTAPHONIA Records, a techno-driven imprint with hazy late-night clubbing in mind.


Together, Maddix and Gabry Ponte bring absolute rave ‘Hellfire’ to dancefloor across the globe as the latest single to drop on Extatic Records!

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The collaboration between Maddix and Gabry Ponte on "Hellfire" is an exhilarating fusion of their distinctive techno styles, released on the Maddix Extatic imprint. The track is a relentless 130 BPM techno anthem designed for peak time play. It combines the raw energy of techno with elements that appeal to a wider audience, creating a thrilling experience on the dance floor. At the core of "Hellfire" is its robust and dark kick drum, which provides a powerful foundation for the entire track. This is complemented by crisp, tech-driven drum patterns that maintain a high energy level throughout. The chorus-like vocal chops add a unique melodic layer that contrasts with the grittiness of the instrumental, enhancing the track's dynamic range. The driving bassline is one of the track's standout features, engineered to maintain momentum and keep the listeners on their toes. It weaves seamlessly through the other elements, ensuring that the energy levels are consistently high. The incorporation of hardstyle kicks further intensifies the track, adding a distinctly Dutch flavor that is both aggressive and infectious. Production-wise, "Hellfire" showcases a meticulous attention to detail. The use of sidechain compression on the bass and kick creates a pumping effect that is quintessential to techno, while the spatial effects on the vocals and synths add depth and dimension to the mix. The overall sound design is polished yet raw, capturing the essence of the techno genre while pushing its boundaries. In summary, "Hellfire" is an explosive track that epitomizes the collaborative prowess of Maddix and Gabry Ponte. Its combination of technical precision, innovative use of production techniques, and raw energy makes it a must-play record for techno enthusiasts and DJs alike. This track does not just play; it commands the dance floor, living up to the #PureGold label and leaving listeners eager for more. Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"] Maddix ft. Sarah De Warren - Love Takes Over[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Maddix is for me the next number1 DJ in the world. He manage to turn the hard techno mainstage sound into a very popular genre and every release on his label is simply must play. For Love Takes Over collaborates with Sarah De Warren, well known singer and vocalist with incredible talent and versatility for her voice to be always so unique and characteristic and perfect for club tracks. Love Takes Over merges the tough and the rough with robotic like Sarah's performance along with old school German rave style melody.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Tiësto unforgettable classics are always great source of remixing and reviving in new unexpected ways.  Traffic was back in his days a huge tech trance classic and faithful on that root are both new remixes on offer. Kryder & Dave Winnel 133 BPM collaborate to create a very nice progressive version with techno and trance elements ready to satisfy wide variety of audiences. Clever sharp techy basslines, pounding kicks, metallic cold drums, energetic synthy stabs and the huge remix appropriated in an epic direction to awake memories from the past and excite younger audiences. Maddix is on great shape adding his mainstage techno signature to whatever he touches. His 136 BPM version has the dark moody in your face basslines, rough techno kicks and the earthshattering percussion. The classic unforgettable riff is replayed in the finest way to bring happiness on many mainstages this summer as the pyrotechnics will light up the sky! #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Maddix, Linka and Gregor Potter unite to produce big room euphoria on ‘Thrill’, utilising hints of more techno-inspired sounds in and around the drops.

The trio combine their styles effortlessly on ‘Thrill’, seamlessly transitioning between sounds and genres throughout. Initially, the track is vibrant and light-hearted, however the sonic profile of this song transforms in to a more industrial and heavy-hitting sound as it progresses towards its climax. A big room style drop that is exclaimed by a combination of synth and bassline that could even be described as hardstyle.
