Flux BPM OnlineMusic News And FeaturesHOT NEW SINGLEMusic News: HALIENE - Right Love As “Eclipsed By You” — HALIENE’s collaboration with Ilan Bluestone — and her recent solo release “Solar Waves” explored the trance side of her roots, her new single “Right Love” marks a return to the melodic bass sound that first made her voice a staple of emotionally charged dance music.
‘Built around a massive melodic bass drop and an instantly memorable chorus, “Right Love” leans fully into the emotional, cathartic energy that defined HALIENE’s fan-favorite collaborations like “Rush Over Me”, and “In My Mind” with artists like Illenium, Seven Lions and Excision. Equal parts heartbreaking and euphoric, the track blends cinematic songwriting with a pop-forward edge, delivering the kind of emotional release that has become synonymous with HALIENE’s biggest records.
"With Right Love, I wanted to capture the ache of finding the right person in the wrong chapter of your life,” HALIENE shares. “When Annika Wells and I sat down in the studio to write this one, we were talking about the idea of relationships and how timing is everything. Sometimes a love was right, but it wasn’t for right now. I find that just like a beautiful sunset, some beautiful things were never meant to stay, only to change you in a moment. So this one is for anyone who ever held that in their hands, only to have to walk away.”While her recent releases have explored more trance-inspired and ethereal territory, “Right Love” is a reminder that HALIENE’s melodic bass side is still very much alive. Emotional, hook-heavy, and unapologetically vulnerable, the single showcases both the depth of her songwriting and the versatility that has made her one of electronic music’s most recognizable voices.

D.O.D teams up with Hayley May on Closure, the first single from his upcoming album and a bright, summer-ready dance-pop release. Built around catchy hooks and an infectious groove, the track blends feel-good energy with relatable, emotionally charged lyrics.
Capturing the push-and-pull of a relationship that isn’t quite over, Hayley May’s vocals bring a playful yet honest edge to the track, adding depth to its upbeat production.
After series of successful recent releases and global touring momentum, Closure marks the start of a new chapter for D.O.D, delivering a record designed for both radio play and sun-soaked dancefloors.
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]D.O.D & Hayley May’s “Closure” is an outstanding dance-pop production that immediately establishes its rhythmic authority with a tight 128 BPM groove, high-energy percussive layers, and a driving bassline that keeps the track’s forward motion relentless. The rhythm, groove, and drive are meticulously engineered to create a pulsating yet fluid flow, with the kick drum, hi-hats, and syncopated claps forming a foundation that both club and fitness environments will thrive on. The melodic hooks and harmonic layers are carefully interwoven, with bright synth stabs, evolving pads, and complementary countermelodies that add richness to the sonic spectrum, ensuring the track remains immersive from start to finish. Transitions, drops, and build-ups are executed with precision and artistry. Filter sweeps, risers, and subtle use of white noise create dynamic tension before explosive drops release energy in a euphoric surge, perfectly suited for festival mainstages and high-intensity workout sessions. The energy flow and momentum maintain a delicate balance between anticipation and satisfaction, keeping listeners engaged without fatigue. From a production standpoint, the sound design and overall quality are exceptional. Each element occupies its own frequency space, allowing clarity and punch, while the spatial design gives the track an expansive and open feel, enhanced by tasteful reverb and stereo imaging techniques. The arrangement demonstrates originality and cohesion, seamlessly telling the story of a relationship’s push and pull, embodying the emotional resonance of Hayley May’s vocal performance. Her voice, simultaneously playful and heartfelt, delivers lyrics that are both relatable and cathartic, enhancing the track’s creative identity and ensuring replay value. The emotional peaks are amplified by precise dynamic range and loudness balance, avoiding overcompression while maintaining a festival-ready loudness. The intro and outro structures are DJ-friendly, with loopable sections and clear cue points that support seamless integration into club or fitness mixes. Its BPM consistency and predictable structure make it a versatile tool for DJs, trainers, and wellness instructors alike. From a psychological and wellness perspective, “Closure” exemplifies music’s positive impact on mental health and physical performance. Research published in the Journal of Positive Psychology and Frontiers in Psychology has shown that upbeat dance music with strong rhythmic drive can elevate mood, reduce perceived exertion during exercise, and promote dopamine and serotonin release (Thoma et al., 2013; Karageorghis & Priest, 2012). The track’s euphoric melodies and high-energy production can thus enhance motivation in fitness environments and contribute to stress reduction in wellness classes. Its immersive atmosphere and contagious positivity align with studies demonstrating music’s role in emotional regulation and social connection, making “Closure” not just a club hit, but a sonic tool for holistic well-being. #PureGold Loveit [/content]

With her recent collaboration with Ilan Bluestone, ‘Eclipsed By You’, continuing to build momentum across streaming platforms and dancefloors worldwide, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter HALIENE returns with her newest release, ‘Solar Waves’.
Radiant, immersive, and emotionally transportive, ‘Solar Waves’ is one of HALIENE’s most musically distinctive records to date. Built on an asymmetrical rhythmic structure, the track subtly shifts between mixed-meter from the opening to the final evolution. A delicately processed classical harp chord that underpins the groove, giving the production an organic, fluid undercurrent. Combined with airy synth textures and restrained percussion, the result is a surreal, weightless sensation.
That celestial lightness contrasts with the song’s deeply personal origin.
“I wrote Solar Waves while recovering from a major surgery last summer, during a season when I felt incredibly lost musically,” HALIENE recalls. “I couldn’t sing the way I normally do because my body was still healing, so I recorded the demo softly and breathily. What began as a limitation ended up giving the song an intimacy we fell in love with. At a time when I felt disconnected from my voice, writing this record brought my joy back and reminded me that creativity always finds another path.”
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]HALIENE’s “Solar Waves” exemplifies an exquisite fusion of technical innovation and emotional depth, solidifying her reputation as a leading figure in contemporary trance music. The track’s rhythmic architecture is particularly notable, built on a subtle asymmetrical pattern that shifts fluidly between mixed meters. At 140 BPM, the driving pulse maintains a consistent energy, ensuring both DJ-friendly cueing and seamless integration into club or festival sets. The interplay of delicate harp chords and carefully textured percussion creates a groove that feels both organic and propulsive, while its dynamic energy arc supports a natural flow ideal for fitness and wellness sessions, where maintaining motivational momentum is key. The harmonic layering of “Solar Waves” is equally striking. HALIENE’s airy, softly recorded vocal performance floats atop lush melodic hooks and carefully modulated synths, achieving a balance of emotional intimacy and spatial immersion. Transitions and drops are executed with surgical precision, using reverb tails and evolving filters to create a sense of lift without oversaturation. This refined sound design—marked by pristine spatial imaging and a carefully managed dynamic range—allows the track to retain clarity during both quiet, meditative passages and full-energy peaks, making it suitable for mindfulness practices and high-intensity workouts alike. Production quality shines through HALIENE’s use of effects, with panoramic stereo imaging, transparent compression, and subtle delay patterns reinforcing the track’s celestial aesthetic. Its originality stems from the delicate integration of classical harp timbres into a future-forward trance framework, resulting in an arrangement that is structurally cohesive yet adventurous. The track’s emotional resonance is profound, born from HALIENE’s personal journey of recovery and creative rediscovery. Scientific research supports the therapeutic potential of music with uplifting harmonies and steady rhythmic pulses, which can boost dopamine and serotonin levels, enhance focus, and reduce stress (Thoma et al., 2013; Koelsch, 2010). In a wellness context, “Solar Waves” offers a powerful auditory environment for both physical and mental rejuvenation. With its strong artistic identity and flawless execution, “Solar Waves” demonstrates exceptional replay value and crowd reaction potential. From its evocative intro to its open-ended outro, the track supports smooth looping and cue-point flexibility, ensuring DJs can adapt its dynamic energy to suit diverse performance environments. Whether used as a focal track in a festival set or as a sonic backdrop for yoga, meditation, and high-cardio sessions, “Solar Waves” embodies music’s capacity to elevate human experience, bridging technical mastery and emotional impact. #PureGold Love It [/content]

Sentinel, the Melbourne-based trio of brothers, release “Let There Be Light,” today via Tomorrowland Music, a track shaped by years of dedication and artistic growth.
Bringing a fresh perspective to big room dance music, Sentinel have rapidly built a reputation for their versatility and distinctive sound. In just a few years, they have collaborated with global names including Ty Dolla $ign, Alesso, Sia, Martin Garrix, Becky Hill, and John Newman, among others.
Since their debut at Tomorrowland, the trio has taken their sound across the globe, selling out venues and steadily expanding their fanbase. Riding that momentum, Sentinel surpassed 20 million streams across platforms in 2024 alone.
Recent releases include “Freedom,” a collaboration with Alesso, and “Upside Down,” created alongside Alesso and Sick Individuals. In 2026, they continued their rise with the highly anticipated single “Like Fire,” followed by an official remix of Martin Garrix’s “Catharina.” With each release, Sentinel further cement their status as one of the most promising acts in the global dance music landscape.
The story of “Let There Be Light” began in 2017, when the group first developed the initial idea for the track. Recognizing its potential, they continued to refine it over several years, determined to bring its full vision to life. Without access to external songwriters, the trio wrote and recorded their own vocal, one of the first they ever created for an original production.
Completed in 2019, the vocal became a defining element of the track, pairing euphoric, uplifting melodies with an inspiring message of hope. The production journey spanned hundreds of sessions across more than ten studios, including early work completed during a stay in Manchester, UK.
“Let There Be Light” reflects a deeply personal chapter for Sentinel, capturing their ambition to not only achieve success but also inspire positivity through music. Entirely written and produced by the trio themselves, the track stands as a testament to their resilience, creativity, and belief in their vision.
Out now on Tomorrowland Music, “Let There Be Light” marks a significant milestone in Sentinel’s journey, one that continues to resonate emotionally with the group as they share it with the world.

Supafly x Luvstruck x Shayan - Stronger Than Before [Spinnin’]
There’s something beautifully defiant about “Stronger Than Before”, the new link-up from Supafly, Luvstruck and Shayan. It does not just revisit a classic, it honours it, elevates it, and sends it hurtling headfirst into 2026 with arms wide open.
Built around the unmistakable melodic theme from Three In One’s timeless rework of Cafe Del Mar, this record could have so easily fallen into the trap of lazy nostalgia. Instead, it feels reverent. The iconic riff, that shimmering, horizon-chasing progression, is handled with extraordinary care. It is not plastered over the track for cheap recognition. It is woven in with restraint and intention, allowed to breathe before erupting into widescreen euphoria. Tasteful is the word. Painfully tasteful.
Supafly’s seasoned house sensibilities anchor the production with warmth and groove, while Luvstruck injects that modern, high-impact club punch he has become synonymous with over the past few seasons. There is weight in the low end, clarity in the build, and just enough polish to make it festival-ready without sanding off its emotional edges.
Then there is Shayan.
Her vocal does not overpower the instrumental, it glides across it. Soulful but controlled, yearning yet resilient, she delivers the central message with conviction. “Stronger Than Before” is not just a title here, it is a statement of intent. The lyrics speak to renewal, endurance, the quiet triumph of surviving something that tried to break you. Against that towering trance backdrop, the sentiment lands like sunrise after a long night.
What is particularly heartening is seeing Spinnin' Records fully embrace this sound again. For a label that has long dictated the pulse of global dance floors, their renewed commitment to trance-leaning records signals something bigger than one release. It feels cyclical, like the genre’s emotional core is once again being recognised as its greatest strength. With heavyweight support now firmly rallying behind the trance resurgence, the future looks blindingly bright.
“Stronger Than Before” does not try to reinvent the wheel. It does not need to. It taps into a melody that defined a generation, pairs it with heartfelt songwriting and contemporary production muscle, and reminds us why we fell in love with this music in the first place.
In a time where trends flicker and fade at algorithmic speed, this is a record that stands tall, chest out, eyes forward, unashamedly euphoric and utterly alive. (written by W.D)
Michael Hutcheson - Fahrenheit x In Hindsight (138 BPM) [Borderline]
There’s something quietly poetic about a long-awaited return. When an artist steps back into the light after nine years without a release, there’s expectation, curiosity and perhaps even doubt however, with Fahrenheit / In Hindsight, forthcoming on Activa’s Borderline label, Michael doesn’t just return, he reaffirms.
Let’s get one thing straight: absence from the release radar does not equal absence from the culture. Anyone embedded in the trance community knows Michael has never truly stepped away. He’s been there in the shadows and strobes, in the warm hues of early doors sets, shaping dancefloors with patience and precision. A key figure in the Scottish trance scene, he’s graced every major venue north of the border and earned a reputation as one of the rare few who’ve mastered the lost art of the warm-up DJ, that subtle, selfless craft of storytelling before the storm.
But now, the storm arrives.
Fahrenheit is a statement of intent. Ultra slick in its production, pristine, polished and unapologetically modern, it wastes no time in drawing you into its orbit. The percussion is tight, the low-end confident, but it’s the melody that truly soars. Classy and emotionally intelligent, it encapsulates everything quality uplifting trance is about: tension, release, hope and that ineffable sense of forward motion. It’s not nostalgia, it’s evolution. A track built for vast rooms and open skies.
Then there’s In Hindsight, and the title couldn’t be more fitting. Where Fahrenheit burns bright, this one glows deep. Again, the production is immaculate, ultra slick without losing soul, but it’s the melodic phrasing that lingers long after the final breakdown fades. There’s maturity here. A reflective quality. It feels like the sound of an artist who’s taken his time, who understands that trance at its best isn’t about volume or velocity, but about vulnerability wrapped in euphoria.
This is a super strong EP on a very respected imprint. It will do well for Michael, and deservedly so. Borderline has long been a stamp of quality, and this release sits proudly within that lineage.
Let’s be honest, if Michael continues to produce output at this level, it won’t be long before the warm-up specialist becomes the peak-time force. The craftsmanship is there. The identity is there. The passion has always been there. Prime-time slots await, and they’d be rightfully earned.
Nine years since his last release. Believe it or not. But some fires don’t burn out, they burn hotter with time. An essential release, Nice one. 💫 (written by W.D)
There’s a rare certainty to ‘Harbour 43’ on WAO138?! that split-second recognition you’re in the capable hands of David Forbes. Before the breakdown blooms, before the chaos fully unfurls, the stamp is there. Ultra-slick production, chiselled low-end, percussion that snaps with authority, and a melodic arc that balances euphoria with balls of steel. It’s immaculate without feeling sterile, and muscular without sacrificing emotion.
What defines David Forbes in 2026 is that unmistakable sonic identity. You can tell it’s him without checking the credits. There’s a discipline to the arrangement, a tension in the build, and when the drop detonates, it’s full-throttle trance engineered with intent, not excess. This isn’t peak-time fodder for the sake of velocity. It’s precision-tooled impact, crafted by someone who understands both the dancefloor and the studio to clinical forensic depth.
Crucially, he’s not merely contributing to the current surge in harder, faster trance, he’s leading the charge. While others flirt with intensity, David fully commits to it, setting a quality threshold very few can ever consistently match. His Midas touch extends beyond a single lane too. Across genres, from peak-time tech to driving main-stage, all of the scene’s biggest names are hammering his releases. That breadth of respect speaks volumes.
There’s also the long view. Three decades of sheer dedication underpin his studio wizardry. The rapid ascent of the past few years hasn’t been accidental hype. It has been the culmination of experience meeting opportunity. If this trajectory holds, 2026 will not just be busy for Forbes, it will be defining.
‘Harbour 43’ feels like both a victory lap and a warning shot, an artist at full power and fully aware of it. David’s GOAT status is entirely justified, and long may his deserved success continue. 💫 (written by W.D)

Dimitris Kechagias Review: [review top="1"] [item value="10"]Cheat Codes x ALTÉGO x Hannah Boleyn - Miss Me [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Cheat Codes, ALTÉGO, and Hannah Boleyn collaborate on “Miss Me,” a vibrant dance-pop track that exemplifies superb technical craftsmanship and musicality across every aspect of production. The rhythm, groove, and drive of the record are immediately infectious, propelled by a tight drum and bass foundation that maintains clarity and punch throughout. The percussion elements are carefully layered to create a dynamic flow, perfectly synchronized to keep club and festival audiences moving, while also appealing to casual listeners at home. The track’s melodic hooks and harmonic layers stand out, with a playful interpolation of “Kiss Me” serving as a nostalgic anchor, supported by lush synths, airy pads, and well-placed harmonic counterlines that give the track depth and color. Transitions, drops, and build-ups are executed with pristine attention to timing and energy management. The producers employ subtle risers, filtered sweeps, and rhythmic breaks to create anticipation, followed by explosive yet controlled drops that feel both euphoric and fluid. The energy flow and momentum remain seamless from start to finish, aided by precise BPM consistency that makes the track exceptionally DJ-friendly, with ample cue points and looping potential for live performances. Sound design and production quality radiate warmth and clarity, as each element occupies its space in the stereo field, benefiting from careful EQing and spatial effects that achieve a rich, immersive listening experience. Originality in arrangement and structure is evident, as “Miss Me” balances familiar pop sensibilities with underground drum and bass energy. The use of effects and spatial design, including tasteful reverb tails, stereo panning, and subtle delay modulation, enhances the immersive qualities of the mix, drawing the listener into a sonic environment that feels both intimate and expansive. The dynamic range and loudness balance are handled with mastery, allowing the track to hit hard in club systems while maintaining musicality in headphones and wellness settings. Atmosphere and emotional resonance are heightened by Hannah Boleyn’s standout vocal performance, which pairs expressive delivery with crystal-clear recording and subtle processing. Her performance lends the track cohesion and storytelling, while lyrical phrasing combines with the instrumental energy to evoke sensations of joy, nostalgia, and euphoria. These qualities directly contribute to the track’s catchiness, high replay value, and ability to spark positive emotional responses. From a psychological and wellness perspective, research has shown that listening to high-energy, rhythmically consistent music can elevate mood and improve mental health by stimulating dopamine release and enhancing feelings of reward (Salimpoor et al., 2011). Studies also indicate that music with strong rhythmic elements and predictable energy flow can improve workout performance, promote endurance, and regulate breathing in fitness contexts (Terry et al., 2020). “Miss Me,” with its propulsive beats, vibrant melodies, and festival-ready energy, is not only a dancefloor weapon but also a track that could boost physical performance in spinning, HIIT, or aerobic classes, while simultaneously uplifting mood and reducing stress levels. Overall, “Miss Me” demonstrates exceptional creativity, cohesion, and artistic identity, translating into a track that is impactful in clubs, wellness sessions, and private listening alike. Its technical polish, emotional resonance, and adaptability position it as a standout in contemporary dance music. #PureGold Loveit[/content]
