NEW album: HALIENE - eclipsed out on Black Hole Recordings
Joy and sorrow often live closer together than one imagines. There is, after all, no ‘becoming’ in life … without first waving a white flag at events beyond our control.

Across her career, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter HALIENE has created a language around the contrast between happiness and heavier hearted times, giving voice to the place where the paths of love, loss, hope and transformation cross. Now, with her sophomore album Eclipsed, she draws on those to create her most personal and expansive body of work yet.

Following Heavenly, her 2022 debut album, Eclipsed finds HALIENE stepping both into new stylistic areas, while also reconnecting with the musical worlds that shaped her beginnings. Across its fifteen tracks, the worlds of trance, melodic bass, cinematic electronica and pop songwriting shift in and out of each another’s shadows. At its heart though, Eclipsed is an album about what happens when that light changes.

Lyrically its songs trace loves, both found and lost, and identities once surrendered but now reclaimed. It’s about the people who carry us through our darkest moments, and the unexpected perspectives that can emerge from experiences we’d never have chosen ourselves. Rather than treating darkness as something to simply overcome, Eclipsed explores its relationship with the light: how one gives form and meaning to the other, and how sorrow so often enhances our capacity to experience joy.

“‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ is one of the most powerful songs I have ever worked on. It speaks to me so personally,” he says. “During my teenage years, I dealt with several major medical issues that were at the time difficult to overcome and changed my life forever. ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ provides a message of hope and perseverance - a cry to keep holding on, even when times seem darkest. It is a message that resonates with me strongly, given my past experiences, and I hope it can help others see that there is always a brighter day ahead.”

From first to last breath, life is a continual act of yielding to the unknown” observes HALIENE. “I hope in some way these songs become part of your own story and bring some meaning to your life’s troubles and joys alike.”

That duality runs the full course of the album. Recent HALIENE singles have already illustrated different sides of its world. The Ilan Bluestone collaboration Eclipsed By You marked a striking return to HALIENE’s trance bedrock, examining the point at which loving another person so completely can begin to eclipse your own identity. Solar Waves, meanwhile, emerged during a period of physical recovery and creative disconnection, its atypically soft vocal performance transforming limitation into intimacy and ultimately helped HALIENE rediscover the joy of creating.

Cathartically, on Right Love, she returned to the melodic bass sound that has long played a part of her musical DNA. The song explores the particular ache of meeting the right person at the wrong time. Confronting the reality of acceptance that some things, though doubtlessly beautiful and desirable, only arrive to change us -  rather than simply remaining forever.

Elsewhere, collaboration becomes another source of its rich expressionism for the album. Don’t Give Up On Me, created with Nikademis, grew from HALIENE’s memories of supporting her parents during their battles with cancer. Its poignant message of borrowed strength and of becoming someone else’s hope when they can no longer carry their own, finds an equally personal connection in Nikademis’ experiences with serious illness.

On Voltage, the ‘PhD to EDC’-journeying Miyuki joins HALIENE for an altogether different kind of awakening. Trance synths, techno energy and 303 drive underscore a song about breaking free from expectation and discovering what we’re truly meant to be – and do.

These previously revealed chapters form only part of Eclipsed. From its opening title overture, through My Reverie, The Other Side, her Koven collaboration Orbit, Heaven Left A Light On, House of Daydreams, Dark Side of My Heart, Found and The Hymn, the album continually returns to its central theme of illumination and shadow, before reaching its final moment: Totality.

In a musical landscape increasingly shaped by AI and repetitive chart formulas, it is refreshing to hear an electronic artist determined to push boundaries both musically and sonically. On Eclipsed, HALIENE resists predictability at every turn, weaving together unexpected genres, shifting time signatures, unconventional modes, and intricate harmonic ideas. From the collision of dubstep and drum & bass with Picardy-third progressions in “The Other Side,” to the 15/4 odd meters and pentuplet polyrhythms of “Dark Side of My Heart,” the album consistently reaches beyond the conventions of modern electronic music. “I wanted to push against the trend and make music that AI could never ‘dream of’” HALIENE explains. “Music with enough humanity, complexity, and unexpected choices that it could never have been generated by a formula, and yet it feels seamless, singable and even danceable.

More than anything, however, Eclipsed is intended to travel beyond its creator. These are songs born from change, devotion, grief, resilience, uncertainty and joy, but their meaning does not end with the experiences that created them. Like an actual eclipse, Eclipsed finds beauty not solely in darkness or light, but in the extraordinary and evanescent moments when the two engage with one another.

‘Eclipsed’, HALIENE’s daring and astonishing second album, is out now. Find it through all good streaming and sales platforms.

NEW SINGLE: HALIENE & Nikademis - Don't Give Up On Me out on Black Hole Recordings
There are moments in life when hope isn't an abstract idea but something another person lends you until you can carry it yourself. That's the heartbeat behind 'Don't Give Up On Me', the first collaboration between HALIENE and melodic bass producer Nikademis. Inspired by each artist's deeply personal experiences with hardship, the track transforms those stories into an anthem of resilience, compassion, and refusing to let go  when life becomes overwhelming.

The song's lyrics,” shares HALIENE, “were inspired by conversations I had with my parents during their battles with cancer years ago. There were moments when they were exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to stop fighting, and I had the privilege of being a voice of hope for them. They had spent their lives being that source of strength for me, so it was so meaningful to return that gift when they needed it most.”

For HALIENE, those memories are the emotional foundation of the song. “Even though they have both since passed, those moments remain some of the most cherished memories of my life.”

The song's message immediately resonated with Nikademis, whose own experiences gave the collaboration a profoundly personal significance.

“‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ is one of the most powerful songs I have ever worked on. It speaks to me so personally,” he says. “During my teenage years, I dealt with several major medical issues that were at the time difficult to overcome and changed my life forever. ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ provides a message of hope and perseverance - a cry to keep holding on, even when times seem darkest. It is a message that resonates with me strongly, given my past experiences, and I hope it can help others see that there is always a brighter day ahead.”

That shared perspective became the driving force behind the collaboration.

In HALIENE's words, “Working with Nikademis on this song felt like total synergy. He's remixed several of my original tracks over the years, and I've been a huge fan of his music ever since. This is our first direct collaboration, and it was amazing to discover how aligned we are in our mission to create music that helps people feel seen and supported… reminders that they're not alone.

With soaring melodies, cinematic production, and an emotional core rooted in real-life experience, Don't Give Up On Me is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, strength can come from the people who refuse to let us face those hardships alone.

'Don't Give Up On Me’ is out today and is available to stream and purchase through all major outlets.

American producer pronouncedyea has unveiled the first track of his forthcoming, four-track EP. Made in collaboration with fellow-American DJ, producer and singer Ookay, Belgian producer-songwriter Taska Black and NYC-based songwriter and vocalist Luma, ‘Oh My’ showcases such as high-degree synergy between each artist’s sound fans are already crossing their fingers for another future collaboration.

Fusing amiable guitar strums and powerful vocals with boisterous synths and a potent breakbeat rhythm, ‘Oh My’ perfectly hits the crossover sweet spot. A prime example of a collaborative creation that amounts to more than the sum of its parts, this song offers so much electronic pop goodness every dance music fan will be shouting its title out loud.

“I remember the first time I heard the demo from Taska,” pronouncedyea says. “It was a chill piano beat with amazing melodies and lyrics that had so much energy I had to build on it. The first version came together wicked fast; as soon as I picked up the guitar, everything just felt right. We knew this song was special, so we held on to it until we found Luma. I was a big fan of her work and she crushed it. You can feel all the energy in her voice and feel the track come to life when she sings it. After Luma, we were incredibly lucky to meet up with Ookay, who was able to take the song to the next level. It was a dream come true for me to be able to work together on such a special song, as I grew up listening to Ookay's SoundCloud in high school. Songs take crazy journeys and I'm glad I was able to be a part of this one.”
"‘Oh My’ had been sitting on my hard drive for such a long time before it made its way to pronouncedyea and Ookay,” Taska says. “They really blew new life into it and made everything fall into place.”
"‘Oh My’ is such a banger, and I’m grateful to have worked on it with a legendary crew!” Luma says. “I’ve been a huge fan of Taska Black, pronouncedyea and Ookay for years, and collaborating with each of them on such a fun song has been a dream come true!"

Since his 2016 debut, San Francisco-based producer pronouncedyea (aka Cesco) has been busy making emotional bangers: melodic bass music encompassing everything from the aggressive to the emotional and euphoric, inspired by genres such as trap and future bass, indie, pop and much more. Since the project’s first foray into the scene, pronouncedyea has garnered over 50 million combined streams across all platforms, with his track ‘Feel The Fire’ (with pluko) gaining over 12 million streams on Spotify alone. Attracting attention from internationally renowned labels and artists such as Illenium, Alison Wonderland and The Chainsmokers, pronouncedyea has made headway into the EDM scene, performing at festivals and clubs across the United States. After a string of independent and label releases between 2016 and 2019, he signed exclusively with Armada Music in 2020 to bring the next wave of the project to life and has been doing just that ever since.

Showcasing a versatile and expansive range of music, Grammy-winning dance music DJ & producer, Afrojack, has today released a new EP titled “Press Play”. The EP features cross-genre dance music from club bangers to melodic anthems to progressive-house and includes an impressive fourteen tracks. Some of the tracks are already released and others are new today. The EP is also being released on Wall Recordings.
  
“Press Play” is packed with live set fixtures and many collaborations with artists who are signed to Afrojack’s Wall Recordings such as Chico Rose, Chasner, DISTO and Jewelz & Sparks. Fans will enjoy progressive-House-flavored singles like ‘When You’re Gone’ and ‘2012’ to club-oriented cuts such as ‘Let It Rip’ and ‘Own Game’. As the name says, this EP will make fans ‘Press Play’ in an instant and repeat the process to prolong the magic of this fourteen-track melodic journey. 
“For me, this was more of a journey to show a different side of me with the different styles of music I’ve been doing,” Afrojack said. “I’ve been playing a lot of tracks with the new artists I signed to my label in my sets, so it made sense to put out all of the music fans have been hearing since Ultra this year on the EP. You’ll hear familiar and unfamiliar sounds with some great artists and I can’t wait for the fans to hear it all.
Named the #8 DJ in the world by DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll (his seventh consecutive year of appearing in the Top 10) and slated to continue that tradition through this year’s voting, Afrojack is one of the most popular dance music acts of today and a sought-after producer who’s won a Grammy for his and David Guetta’s remix of Madonna’s ‘Revolver’ and worked with everyone from Pitbull to Sting and Chris Brown. Coming from a two-year period that saw him drop an array of hits such as ‘Bad Company’ with Dirtcaps, ‘Helium’ with David Guetta and Sia, and a remix of U2’s iconic ‘Get Out Of Your Own Way’, Afrojack continues to bend genres as a musician with an admirable work ethic, huge output and peerless sense of what makes a record erupt in music scenes across the globe. Add to that the gamut of top-tier festivals he wrecks the mainstages of and you know Afrojack is in it to win it whenever he drops a new crowd favorite, let alone an entire fourteen-track EP.

2.   Afrojack ft. Brohug & Titus -  Let It Rip

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Afrojack continues to impress with his worldwide hits and his album Press Play is jam packed with prime time material that any DJ or fan of big dancing beats will adore straight away. The album includes big room, dubstep, and electro house tracks that will keep dancefloors and car players pretty busy. Bringin it back is a powerful mixture of heavy dubstep beats, electronic melodies, big synthy hooks, clever vocal samples and rough distorted basslines. Let It Rip is banging booming groovy electro house with sharp basslines, stomping drums, strong vocals and playful melodies. Step Back is powerful to the bone like leaving unattended a massive bulldozer on the dancefloor without breaks to stop it. Own Game is an excessive big room monster with piano melody and pitched up vocal while the drop is big fat and ferocious to the max. Another Level makes use of robotic vocals while the drop is packed with distorted crazy basslines, heavy drums and razor sharp synths to cut you deep. When you're gone is more ladies friendly track with playful pizzicato style melody in the drop while the singing in the breakdown is smooth and romantic with piano melody to die for. One More Day is included on the fat future house meets big room and in your head Nicky Romero version that festival crowds super adore and they love to clap and jump along. Time is an excellent rave friendly track with rough stomping beats, smashing wonky basslines, cool vocal samples and very nice breakdown with trancy synthy melody perfect for time travel. 2012 is what festival big room sound is about. In your face no holes barred rough beats with harddance infusions to it. Very sweet breakdown followed by thunderous climax perfect to blow your whistles. Bassride as the track suggests is an unstoppable rough electro house smasher that relentlessly builds and keeps the audience bumping along and riding the bass. My City includes distorted vocals upon the wonky distorted basslines while the breakdown includes trap and dubstep sequences. Put It Down is dubstep with attitude that means fat, fast, furious, unconventional and outrageously gorgeous including an old school drum n bass sequence. Flawless Victory combines big synths, danceable dubstep beats and heavy bass while the drop goes the hard dance direction. Finally Pop That is raging, menacing, trap with heavy swinging rough beats while in the second part big epic synth is added to close the album in style. Afrojack service an album that represents what he plays in his sets without the pressure of delivering a worldwide hit. This is Afrojack back to his roots.[/content]

Our beloved progressive talent rather than following the progressive route decides to change direction and deliver something more tuned to the current pop climate of chilling groovy playful electronica meets pop dance style version with urban infusions and even tropical flair as well. The vocal is perfectly in place to make the audience singing a long and swinging smoothly under its very sexy and arousing atmospheric. If you like things hot streamy and infectiously addictive then the Myon remix is the one for you. #PureGold Love It[/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Firebeatz unleash the remix package for their top notch  Till The Sun Comes Up feat. Vertel. The first remix comes from the Norwegian hero Orjan Nilsen who once again proves why he is successful for so many years. His remix is 10/10 with the clever arrangement and superb sound design with cool breakdown and truly pumping with electric basslines climax. You  will feel like the earth breaks in two and massive volcano erupts releasing fumes, strobe lights and gold. The contest winners deliver strong remixes but without any surprise or originality 8/10. L.A.M. goes the mainstage big room EDM direction with sweet melodic breakdown and very rough and aggressive wild hardstyle bassline. Its the best of the two remixes. NOON remix is electro house with trap breakdown that sounds fine but without being something very special to stand out. #PureBass Love IT [/content]

1. Jonas Blue - ‘We Could Go Back’ feat. Moelogo (Todd Edwards Remix)
2. Jonas Blue - ‘We Could Go Back’ feat. Moelogo (Cristal Noir Remix)
3. Jonas Blue - ‘We Could Go Back’ feat. Moelogo (Julien Jabre Remix)
4. Jonas Blue - ‘We Could Go Back’ feat. Moelogo (Syn Cole Remix) 

Jonas Blue, the UK’s biggest breakthrough act, has unveiled a 4-track remix package of his latest single ‘We Could Go Back’. Having recently released the acoustic version of the single featuring vocalist Moelogo, the DJ and songwriter has recruited the likes of Todd Edwards, Cristal Noir, Julien Jabre and Syn Cole to rework his infectious track.

Kicking things off with his own interpretation, Grammy Award winner Todd Edwards utilises a hypnotic collage of chopped melodic piano beats to create an upbeat house anthem, packed with disco-flavoured grooves. The mix is a stark contrast to Cristal Noir’s rework, with the French duo favouring a down tempo, 80’s electronica feel, laced with retro synth sounds. A more rumbling production that relies on emotive analogue synths, Julien Jabre’s remix has already been championed by Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show. The remix marks his return to house music, famed for tracks like ‘Swimming Places’ and ‘War’, following a 5 year hiatus.

With producer Syn Cole rounding off the remix package, the Estonian’s frenetic build soon gives way to an explosive drop to create a striking trap anthem, and follows on from his rework of Jonas’ summer smash ‘Mama.’

With the original of ‘We Could Go Back’ already surpassing 12 million Spotify streams, the mesmerising single has topped the Cool Cuts Charts, hit the #2 spot in Shazam’s Dance Chart, and has been in solid rotation across UK radio, with the likes of Kiss and Capital FM playing the track on-air.

A permanent fixture in the charts, Jonas Blue has surpassed 3 billion streams worldwide. With 3 Top 5 UK singles to his name already, Jonas Blue is now ready to build on his monumental success in the coming months. 

His debut single, ‘Fast Car’ became 2016’s biggest-selling single globally from a British debut artist and earned him two BRIT award nominations – ‘British Single’ and ‘British Artist Video’. Jonas’ second single ‘Perfect Strangers’ featuring JP Cooper picked up platinum sales awards around the globe, while his third release ‘By Your Side’ helped launch the career of rising British artist Raye. More recently he has had monumental success with ‘Mama’ which spent 20 weeks in the Top 40 and sold over 800K in the UK.

Away from the charts, the British hitmaker recently announced the next instalment of his Electronic Nature party series. From its successful debut at London’s Ministry of Sound earlier this year, Jonas will take-over Electric Brixton on Saturday 27th January 2018, for his biggest ever hometown club show to date. Before this momentous occasion, Jonas will be returning to The O2 to perform at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball on Saturday 9th December, in what will be his final live show in the UK this year. Equally comfortable onstage and in the studio, Jonas Blue is currently working on his debut album, set to establish him as the UK’s biggest homegrown star.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]While the original and Jack Wins remixes played in clubs now the remix package gets even more extended with additional new style versions. Cristal Noir version has certain nu disco/indie dance touch with electronic synths, smooth grooves, late night strings and sexy atmosphere. Todd Edwards version takes us back in time with old school house influences so you can expect classic organ riffs upon the raw punchy basslines, pounding grooves and early 90's UK garage and Chicago house colours. Julien Jabre goes for deep dark moody basslines with cool synths and Ibiza feel good atmosphere that slowly builds and offer wholeheartedly the pay off moment to raise the roofs. Syn Cole deliver the classy trap meets dubstep version with the chilling grooves, uplifting synths, piano chords and even some acid funk touches. Truly special so better don't miss it! #PureGold Love IT [/content]

The original and Cubicore remix moves on the same electro big room proglifting trance direction with pulsating basslines, punchy drums and feel good uplifting drop to turn any dancefloor into a moment of mayhem and joy with Above & Beyond influences for sure. The lyrics are bittersweet and Jonathan can convey well this in his on the spot performance. Colorful synths will turn the night into day for sure. Lastly the suprising Medii x BEAUZ version turn the original into a trap/dubstep hybrid that focuses on vocals to sing a long, nice melodies, playful voice effects and thunderous drop. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Whilst ‘Watch The World’ was electrifying airwaves & delighting fans last spring, it was also having another, altogether subtle side effect. Intentionally or otherwise, it was bringing about a shift in the understanding of who Markus Schulz, the musician, is.

Working in stylistic areas new, penning & co-penning many of the tracks’ lyrics and delivering an entire disc’s worth of acoustic versions were just some of the ways in which ‘WTW’ challenged the Schulz perception chamber. Bringing that development to its natural conclusion this October, Markus signs off on his most transformative long-player to date with its criterion edition.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The anticipation for the release of the Deluxe edition of Markus Schulz's Watch The World is increasing and in our hands 4 of the top new remixes included in the package. Firstly is the beloved Gai Barone. The Italian master takes us by the hand and transforms Waiting into a magical deep haunting journey with rolling basslines, driving atmosphere and understated colorful synths along with distorted vocals. As always Gai's tracks is sonic experience not to be missed with its attention to detail and rich sound textures. I Hear You Calling featuring CAYO is remixed into deep melodic slightly tropical house beauty by JackLNDN who does his best to impress. Deep grooves, sunkissed melodies, xylophone themes and warm and tender summery atmosphere. The well known Destiny featuring Delacey is transformed from Solid Stone into a mouthwatering deep melodic progressive track perfect to warm up trance sets or to get plays from classic prog house heroes. The fantastic vocal sounds great within the spacious environment of sparkling electronic synths and serious inspiring atmosphere. Lastly on this sampler  Summer Dream featuring Mia Koo is remixed by We Rabbitz who service the stunning feel good mainstage friendly trap banger that has dynamic basslines and warm atmosphere ready for radio support. #PureGold Love it [/content]
