Flux BPM Administrator

04:13:00

About a year and a half after its late-2021 release, Armin van Buuren and The Stickmen Project’s ‘No Fun’ is back in action through this two-track remix pack. Containing a groove-driven version from Brazilian producer Öwnboss as well as a deeper, techno-leaning rework created by rising duo Goom Gum, ‘No Fun (Remixes)’ is marking the global club scene as its personal playground.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren x The Stickmen Project delivered the instant festival and radio hit No Fun. Now is the time for the two remixes that will make it perfect for 2023 mainstages. Öwnboss service the pounding electro tech bass house version with rough edgy electro basslines, thumping techy drums, punchy kicks and cool synthy stabs along with the vocal that works perfectly to memorize the track instantly and make it hard to forget it in the next days. Of course I must confess that my favourite comes from Goom Gum who take the track in a deeper melodic techno route with huge distorted synths, pulsating basslines, thumping driving kicks and playful application of the vocals in a very twisted way. The progression of the melody is arranged perfectly to bring havoc on any dancefloor and lead to the equally power storming climax that retains the moody but very dominating sound. Two peak time versions, hard to choose #PureGold Love IT [/content]

With slightly techy bouncy basslines, thumping crunchy drums, punchy kicks and cool memorable rave style percussive synthy stabs Greyhound is a full stomping track that is hypnotic and upfront ready for summer club domination. It merges bass and tech house infusions with 90's retro touches in order to take out off the hat the instantly infectious jumping sound that will do serious business in this summer festivals mainstages. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

REVIEW: Dragonette, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano & Cat Dealers feat. Bruno Martini - Summer Thing (Cat Dealers Remix) out on SONO

Flux BPM Administrator

01:24:00

Just ahead of starting the first leg of their U.S. tour, Cat Dealers have released a monumental record to supercharge their sets with. Reworking their own 2021 collab with Dragonette, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Bruno Martini, the Brazilian brothers dropped a club-tailored rendition of ‘Summer Thing’ that will surely take center stage during Brazilian carnival at the end of February.

After the success of 2021’s ‘Summer Thing’ and the remixes from Kryder and Le Bisous, Cat Dealers target dance floors across the globe with a big rendition of their own. Thoroughly pushed into a club dimension, this remix from the Brazilian brothers will surely amplify any clubber's nighttime experience.

“Although we love to produce a lot of different stuff, ‘Summer Thing’ is one of the songs that strayed a little from our identity,” Cat Dealers say. “The idea of the remix came with the intention of bringing a version that matched more with our sets: something more energetic and clubbier."

Formed by the brothers Lugui and Pedrão, Cat Dealers are among the hottest acts in today’s international electronic music scene. The pair cultivate the second largest YouTube channel of the Brazilian electronic music scene with more than 880,000 subscribers, have a Spotify following of over 2.5 million monthly listeners and racked up hundreds of millions of streams on Soundcloud, Spotify, Deezer and other streaming platforms in a few years’ time. As the current #66 DJs of the world according to DJ Mag’s most recent Top 100 DJs poll, they touched down on all five continents, playing in venues in the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Italy, Portugal, Poland and even Spain, where they opened for David Guetta at Medusa Festival 2018. Now, the pair are about to embark on a full-scale U.S. tour.

Flux BPM Administrator

22:12:00

Arguably as iconic as the 21 Jump Street character it shares a name with, 'Doug McQuaid' sees London duo My Friend hit Armada Music after the mid-summer release of their collaboration with Richie Blacker on Armada Electronic Elements. Flaunting an infectious and sturdy groove as well as a contagious vocal sample and uplifting piano chords, this track is as suited for the club space as it is for an at-leisure daytime listening session.

The track merges driving pumping basslines, tough tech house kicks, euphoric synthy riffs and very strong diva house vocal lines that work perfectly to re-imagine the Ibiza style anthems of the 90's but in the modern infectious way of 2023. It sounds definitely large and ready to please and tease many sweaty boys and girls on the dancefloor.

REVIEW: Mahalo x DLMT - Body Love out on Armada Music

Flux BPM Administrator

15:05:00

One of the many incredible things made clear by Mahalo and DLMT’s previous two offerings on Armada Music is that their styles are of the highest complementary order, and their brand-new offering cements that notion. Anticipated since the success of ‘So Cold’ (feat. Lily Denning) in 2019 – which journeyed 15 weeks on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, eventually rising to #1 - and ‘Destination’ in 2021, ‘Body Love’ marks the pair’s third joint release and underlines their creative chemistry as artists and producers.

“Every time we get together in the studio, we get this rush of creativity that enables us to push our own boundaries”, Mahalo says. “‘Body Love’, our third collaboration together, is the product of that. It showcases both of our styles flawlessly, from DLMT’s creamy grooves to the earworm melodies and silky vocals that characterize my own sound.”

“This new single of ours stands out amongst our previous collaborations as a club-ready weapon that can thrive in any dance music environment”, DLMT adds. “We couldn't have been more excited to return to Armada Music, and we highly suggest you turn up your speakers for this one.”

About Mahalo

Recently signed to Armada Music, Hawaiian-born DJ and producer Mahalo is one of the newest rising stars of the global dance music machine. His 2019 breakout single, ‘So Cold' (with DLMT, feat. Lily Denning), hit #1 (and spent fifteen weeks) in the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart while also taking the top spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Radio chart. 2021 brought Mahalo his second Billboard Dance Radio top five with ‘Not Watching Anymore’, peaking at #2 after twelve weeks in the chart. Beyond his success as a producer, he has performed at some of the most coveted festivals in North America, such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Groove Cruise, Nocturnal Wonderland and Countdown, and has a monthly radio show on Insomniac: ‘The Mahalo Show’.

About DLMT

With hard-hitting bass lines fused with euphoric and melodic vocals, DLMT’s sound has become a staple in the industry. His 2019 breakout single, ‘So Cold' (with Mahalo, feat. Lily Denning), hit #1 (and spent fifteen weeks) in the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart while also taking the top spot in the U.S. Mediabase Dance Radio chart, setting the benchmark for his future sound. In the years to follow, DLMT has continued to make his stamp on the house music scene with hallmark records like ‘One Drink’ on Tchami’s Confession label and his hit collab with Afrojack ‘Wish You Were Here’ featuring Brandyn Burnette on Spinnin' Records. Combining his massive streaming success in both the commercial and club lanes with a plethora of touring over 50 shows in 2022 only, he is continually evolving into a worldwide phenomenon. DLMT has some big plans for 2023.
