Global chart-topping DJ and producer Lost Frequencies has announced his return to the UK with two major headline shows in Manchester (Albert Hall, January 23) and London (O2 Brixton Academy, January 24, 2026).



Following a spectacular mainstage performance at Tomorrowland Brasil and in the midst of a North American tour, the Belgian hitmaker is gearing up for the next chapter of his global live journey, bringing his acclaimed live show and signature melodic house sound back to UK fans.



With over 22.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, 20 billion global streams, and a BRIT Award nomination, Félix De Laet – better known as Lost Frequencies – continues to shape the sound of modern electronic music. Known for timeless hits like Are You With Me, Reality, and Where Are You Now (with Calum Scott), he has become one of the most in-demand artists on the international circuit, headlining stages from Lollapalooza to Tomorrowland.


After a sold-out European run and headline performances across the US, his return to the UK promises an elevated live experience, blending immersive visuals, live instrumentation, and euphoric energy.
“The connection I have with the UK crowd is really special,” says Lost Frequencies. “Every time I play here, the energy is incredible and these shows at Albert Hall and Brixton are going to be some of the biggest moments of my tour yet.”
With his latest album All Stand Together and a new chapter of global shows ahead, Lost Frequencies once again proves that his uplifting sound and heartfelt melodies transcend borders, uniting dancefloors around the world.

David Guetta’s cutting-edge Future Rave sound returns on his new remix of La Bouche’s ‘90s classic ‘Be My Lover (2023 Mix)’ in collaboration with up-and-coming producer Hypaton.

Guetta is fresh off of a legendary run, including new smash hit ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’, featuring pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray, and streaming monster ‘I’m Good (Blue)’, which hit #1 on the UK Singles chart as well as in 15 other territories including Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.

‘Be My Lover (2023 Mix)’ sees the French mastermind sharing remix duties with young viral sensation Hypaton, revamping La Bouche’s 1995 original with the dark yet electrifying blend of techno and progressive house that is David Guetta’s own Future Rave sound. Since being coined by Guetta and his partner-in-crime Morten Breum, Future Rave’s futuristic mix of underground sounds with festival-sized energy has become a genre unto itself, as proved by the pair’s huge 2022 ‘Future Rave’ tour, which included a Hï Ibiza residency and an appearance at EDC, as well as November’s acclaimed Future Rave EP Episode 2.

Young production phenomenon Hypaton has picked up the Future Rave mantle, going viral with his ingenious revamps of ‘90s classics. Though he’s been producing EDM and trance since 2014, it was in 2022 that Hypaton became an Instagram reel sensation with his clever reworks, earning the attention of the mastermind behind the genre, David Guetta. His music continues to go viral, amassing over 50 million views and counting and being shared over 100,000 times by accounts for the world’s biggest football teams, news agencies, celebrities and everything in between. Armed with a plethora of new, original, cutting-edge music for 2023, Hypaton’s rise to stardom looks certain to be nothing short of meteoric.

Fast approaching 40 billion global streams in addition to this year’s ‘Producer of the Year’ win at the BRITs and DJ Mag’s #2 DJ, David Guetta has skyrocketed to #9 most streamed artist on Spotify globally, selling over 50 million records worldwide. In his career he has reached top position across I-Tunes charts over 113 countries and achieving over 25 million Spotify followers worldwide. His previous single ‘I’m Good (Blue)’ hit #1 on the UK Singles chart, #1 on Global Spotify, #1 on Spotify UK, #1 on Apple UK, #1 on Amazon Music UK, #2 on UK Shazam, #3 on Global Shazam, as well as #1 in 15 territories including Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.

Last month the international icon won the ‘Dance Song of The Year’ award for his latest smash ‘I’m Good’ at the IHeartRadio Music Awards, where he was also previously named ‘Dance Act of the Year’. He also recently received awards for ‘DJ of the Year’ at the NRJ Music Awards, Producer of the Year at the Brits and #1 Producer by 1001Tracklists, continuing to cement his status at the very top of the DJ pile.

An electrifying Future Rave rework of a 90s classic, ‘Be My Lover (2023 Mix)’ shows David Guetta at the peak of his powers - and at the cutting edge of house music.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Hypaton collaborate with David Guetta to recreate in the most modern and futuristic way the classic eurodance anthem by La Bouche - Be My Lover (2023 Mix). This brand new rendition is powerful headbanging production with driving electryfying pulsating basslines, pounding drums, sharp kicks and excellent application of the iconic vocals. You can expect clubs and festivals to blow away whenever the DJ will about to drop this exceptional firestarter. The main synthy hook is dark and sinister perfect to add the underground twist. Short breakbeat section in the breakdown works really well to build anticipation along with the perfect vocals until the manic synthy hook is unleashed to give goosebumps and awake your senses. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Two pillars of the present-day disco and funk worlds, Purple Disco Machine and French superstar Kungs team up for their newest release ‘Substitution’. Kicking off the year with this surprising collaboration, the two internationally acclaimed producers prove they are the perfect party-starting pair with a single earmarked to be a dancefloor favorite. The two artist’s relationship flourished when they met at several festivals, with ‘Substitution’ embodying that pure excitement and energy only found dancing next to boogie-loving punters. Combining their innate abilities to bring people together to party, the two teamed up and worked together in Purple Disco Machine’s Dresden studio to iron out the track rather than just sending files back and forth, ensuring an authentic disco hit.

It signals Purple Disco Machine’s first single since earning the 2023 Grammy for Best Remix Performance on Lizzo’s ‘It’s About Damn Time’ and follows a tremendous few years of success for the electronic virtuoso. The prestigious producer has earned a reputation as a chart-topper with his collaborations with Sophie and the Giants in ‘Hypnotized’ and ‘In The Dark’, while also bringing out a catalogue of hits along the journey to the 2021 release of his sophomore album ‘Exotica’. Meanwhile, Kungs has earned his crown as the leader of the French electronic revolution with his 2022 album ‘Club Azur’ proving his aptitude for making people move with airplay-chart hits such as ‘Clap Your Hands’ and ‘Never Going Home’. He embeds that dance floor flavour into ‘Substitution’, only complementing Purple Disco Machine’s own flair for groove-laden beats.

The pair exhibit a perfect musical marriage of Italo-disco influences to ensure dancefloor excellence and a lyricism that will sing away at your heart. In apropos fashion for both men, the single kicks off with enchanting piano chords and a signature funk-fuelled bassline. Sampling the iconic 1984 hit ‘Big in Japan’ from Alphaville, there is a sense of poise and class within the production while the two simultaneously exude a carefree charisma that permeates throughout ‘Substitution’ The disco-heat melds effortlessly with the soulful-pop hooks that will have you getting lost in the lust of the lyrics. However, while you’ll be singing along it’ll be evidently clear that the two artist’s roots come from the human experience found on the club dancefloor, as is conspicuous throughout the vibrant production.

Lyrics:
Am I high or low
Am I bipolar
Need another you 
To shake it shake it 
Ohh I love that face
perfect stranger 
Cus I could use someone 
To shake it shake it 
 
But I know that I can’t get you out of my head
And I know I can’t numb you away 
Yeah I know when I wake up with her instead
No there ain’t no one replacing you 
No there ain’t no one replacing you 
 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
Uuhh 
Healing my hearts confusion 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
But there ain’t no one replacing you 
Uuhh 
Been looking for substitution 
Uuhh 
Losing all of my illusions 
Uh-Uuhh 
Looking for substitution 
Cus there ain’t no one replacing you 
 
Gotta losen up 
My emotions 
Just start it up 
To shake it shake it 
When I hear your name 
I can’t be sober 
I could use someone 
To shake it shake it

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When the incredible talented German Purple Disco Machine meets the French talent Kungs  then the result can only be the explosive Substitution. The track continues on the well known Italo disco house sound that has been revived so wonderfully from the Purple Disco Machine. Full of funk and groove along with the unforgettable synths of the Alphaville classic track then you get an instant pressure cooker. When you add a very strong male vocal with lyrics that stay in your head for days and without even trying u start to singalong then u know that we deal with another global smash to make our Spring more colorful full of happiness and joy. #PureGold Love IT  [/content]

Brazilian superstar and #4 DJ in the world Alok, known for colossal collaborations with John Legend, Jason Derulo, Tove Lo, and Ellie Goulding, has joined forces with multi-platinum singer/songwriter James Arthur to release their new dance single, “Work With My Love.” The disco-inspired house track is guaranteed to get feet moving, hips swaying, and heads rocking.

Music fans around the world may feel some nostalgia from the sample used in “Work With My Love;” recognizing it from having also been used in The Shapeshifters’ 2004 hit “Lola’s Theme,” which topped the UK singles charts and was nominated for "Best British Single" at the 2005 Brit Awards. The muffled disco horn sample crescendos into James’s silky, soulful voice, as he croons about an impossible love. Alok’s masterfully constructed disco and house sounds keeps the track modern and fresh while the retro brass motif lays a consistent foundation in the background that ties all the sounds together. The high hats give it an uplifted, light quality, and energized feel, while low synth notes keep the beat grounded and groovy. As James repeatedly asks “Can you work with my love,” he invites us to compromise and meet halfway on the dance floor of life.


LYRICS
My love is impossible
So hard to control (ah ah ah)
My heart is a beautiful kinda wrecking ball (ah ah ah)
I know I get a little bit crazy
Out of my head yeah maybe it’s too much (too much)
But if you really wanna be with me
You go-otta handle all that I got
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
I know it’s a wild ride
But its worth the fight ( i i i)
Oooh if you hold on tight
We can rule the night (oh oh oh)
I know I get a little bit crazy
Out of my head yeah maybe it’s too much (too much)
But if you really wanna be with me
You go-otta handle all that I got
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)
Can you work work work with my love (my love)

MK (Marc Kinchen) has unveiled his brand-new single, ‘Back & Forth’, a dynamic collaboration with Platinum-selling, Brit Award nominee Jonas Blue, and chart-topping artist and songwriter, Becky Hill.

An upbeat record led by MK’s warm piano-house style, combined with Becky Hill’s soulful songwriting and incredible vocal, paired with the instinctive pop sensibility of Jonas Blue makes this a collaborative recipe that is sure to please across the board. “Back & Forth” marks the second time the Detroit DJ has teamed up with Becky, following the pair’s success with their 2016 Gold certified hit ‘Piece of Me.’ (over 56 Million Streams to date)

Friend and collaborator, Jonas Blue sprinkles his melodic touches throughout ‘Back & Forth.’ The home grown, UK talent is already a multi-platinum selling artist, who recently scored huge success with his summer anthem ‘Rise’. MK collaborator & good friend, Becky Hill is also known for her soul stirring, powerful vocals on tracks like ‘False Alarm’ as well as her UK #1 single ‘Gecko’ with Oliver Heldens.

MK, who is an iconic house producer, artist and DJ may be best known for his timeless remixes and 2017 summer anthem ‘17’ (over 100 million Spotify streams). He is also the proud owner and creative force behind his Area10 label and event brand, which has hosted parties worldwide, headlining stages at the likes of SW4, Creamfields and Croatia’s Defected Festival, as well as the sold out weekly Ibiza Rocks Area 10 residency this summer. The Area 10 label will start releasing some of its own repertoire this coming year.

MK recently dropped his bass-driven “MK Dub” mix of the record in his Creamfields set (which is set for release as the B-side to the original), having originally created the beat for the track in unison with Chelsea Football Club’s players as part of his ‘Beatball’ project back in June. On first listen, it is easy to tell that ‘Back & Forth’ is destined to cement a place as one of the ultimate post-summer tunes across radio and dancefloors worldwide. An addictive and rhythmic release, the track is set for release on Friday 7th September.

While the original version is the perfect Top 10 UK material with straight away success because all the ingredients are there with addictive piano chords, hooky melody, nice groove and soulful vocals with lyrics easy to identify with. The Dub mix is the one for me as it takes the track on the dark pathway with deeper warmer basslines, cold melodramatic synthy riffs, electronic style melodies and cool chopped vocals in a very moody result that will please the underground heads and not only! #PureGold #PurePOP [/content]

With his upcoming best-of, PLANET JARRE, the Godfather of Electronic Music JEAN-MICHEL JARRE (JMJ) celebrates his 50 years at the forefront of electronic music with an extensive double album that will once more carburize his legacy in pop music history. Set for release September 14th, 2018 on SONY, PLANET JARRE comprises 41 works from his extensive music catalogue, hand-picked by Jarre himself and completely re-mastered to add a new and sparkling freshness to the sound of the package. To top things off, the Vinyl Book and Ultimate Box Set both come with a download card to enter the world of Jean-Michel Jarre in 5.1. Always fascinated by the best possible sound and technology Jarre mastered some tracks in 5.1. for a unique listening experience.



Naturally, in curating the oeuvre himself, JMJ refrained from simply aligning his hits like links on a chain, and instead decided to divide them into four different sections: 
“Going through the body of my existing work for this project, I realized that I have four quite different styles of composition”, Jarre explains. “There is this common idea that people are focusing on shorter and shorter moments of music by zapping constantly. This is not necessarily true. We are also spending more and more time in our day-to-day life listening to playlists. Wherever we are and whatever we do. This is the reason why I decided to divide this project into four different parts, four different worlds that make up my own world…my own planet. And I hope that you will enjoy the journey.”


Comprising of four parts- Soundscapes, Themes, Sequences, Explorations & Early Works -PLANET JARRE is unmistakably and utterly typically Jarre, highlighting a different creative focus of his work. Soundscapes taps into Jarre's natural sense for acoustic aestheticism and atmospheric composition translated into nine soundscapes that clearly reference his background in classical music and his passion for motion picture scores. Long and familiar ambient tracks like “Oxygene 1,” “Equinoxe 2” and “Chronology 1” seamlessly follow newer pieces like the original title track of Electronica - The Heart of Noise. Themes features indestructible, timeless melodies and song-like structures such as “Oxygene 2,” “Oxygene 4,” “Zoolookologie” and “Industrial Revolution Part 2” that will resonate with everyone familiar with his repertoire.

Tim Bergling aka AVICII died in the age of 28 in Muscat, Oman. Diana Baron acting as his publicist has released the following statement:
 "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time." [Source: Aljazeera]
According to various media sources the actual reason of his death is not clear and it seems that all journalists conclude that his death is a consequence of his damaged health thanks to his constant touring and even alcohol addiction as this was documented in the shocking documentary True Stories.



  Fans all over the world through their social media accounts pay tribute to his undeniable legacy as Avicii has manage through his tracks to attract more mainstream reserved conservative music audience particularly in USA who had little to do with electronic music as his track have infused country & folk  music elements with his well known pizzicato uplifting synths. If you listen carefully our tribute mix you will easily understand how his music compositions developed from club oriented full on bangers to pop dance or even electronic pop with sweet romantic lyrics less edgy, instantly gratifying and spotify playlists ready. He was well absorbed from the mainstream and it seems that his new material that is not released yet will be even more mainstream with club mixes taken care of other artists. This comes as a natural progression from his decision to stop touring and playing as DJ in festivals. Without tours and festival appearances he could concentrate on pop songs that featuring singers could perform them without his actual presence. Of course I believe that at the back of his mind he had to return touring when he would felt stronger and healthy. His tracks and remixes for other artists reflect his constant need to reinvent himself and take advantage of new technologies to produce his music via online collaborations or to spread his music with well organised social media team. His collaboration with Ash Pournouri has been success story that should be taught in music industry courses. In the following videos Ash explains the way he treated Avicii's brand.







On this video back in 2013 Avicii is pretty open about how he started and the state of his career in 2013.



Of course Ash's company and Avicii have parted ways in 2016. 
The official statement mentions"2x Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Tim Bergling and his production/publishing entity Avicii Music AB have parted ways with manager Ash Pournouri, At Night Management. Bergling is signed to Universal Music Sweden and is expected to release an album next year." [source: Billboard]
 I can speculate that his decision to move away from Ash and his company reflects his attempt to reinvent himself and definitely take a different approach in his career something that we will never learn. Unfortunately the death of Avicii will have an impact in the electronic dance music community and the music industry in general as it has lost one of the strongest assets and key figures for the future developments and Avicii will always be remembered because his music compositions had the magic touch to stay in your memory supported by well directed music videos that had a clear and concise story to tell and also his tracks have a nice message to take away. Maybe simple or common sense ideas that fans will take on board and most important to slowly cultivate  stronger bonds to each other. The festival experience with visitors from wide variety of countries and locations require anthemic music with lyrics that will enhance their togetherness even deeper. When the singers manage to sing it beautifully and their voices are touching and inspiring then the mysterious click happens and the song becomes part of your everyday life feeling empowered and even stronger to move on, offer you the motivation to follow your path against all odds and scare away all negativity. Avicii's tracks have definitely this undeniable strength and it's up to his family to decide if any of the already produced unreleased tracks will be released and when. Usually music industry is very quick in order to make the most out of any situation so I'm pretty confident that more Avicii music will see the light of day unfortunately without the physical presence of him. 

  Personally I'm big admirer of Avicii achievements and I consider his legacy as being even bigger than we can imagine at this moment and definitely his death will awake many new aspiring music producers who considered him as a role model of success to reconsider where they stand and if it is worth it to make enormous sacrifices in order to become rich, famous and headliner in the mainstage of their beloved festival. 

Enjoy this tribute of 1mix radio on Avicii! He will never be forgotten that for sure. Our condolences to his family and loved ones.
