If you're someone who gravitates to hypnotic basslines and vocals that hit you right in your core, KINGDM is an artist who needs to be on your radar. This Italian DJ and producer developed his love for music early on in his life and carries those influences with him to this day. First falling in love with the piano and classical artists like Chopin, he later developed a passion for rock music and inevitably, electronic as well. This pushed him to begin producing his own music and the result has been a number of stunning singles that bridge the gap between dance music and pop.

Since he began to release his own music, KINGDM has seen the likes of Zane Lowe and Annie Mac sing his praises and his tunes have graced some of the most influential radio stations as well. The past few years have seen him deliver collaborations like "Mexico" with Bipolar Sunshine, "FRFR" with Reo Cragun and Rowlan, as well as solo work such as "Dance for Me" and "Tear." More recently, he caught the ear of mau5trap who signed his vibe-inducing house tune "Together." Featuring a mesmerizing progressive bassline and vocals that are dripping with emotion, it's a solid jam to play during the earliest days of fall.

Looking to gain more insight on "Together," his roots in the scene, and future plans, we reached out to KINGDM for a chat. So read on to learn more about this dynamic artist, listen to his exclusive guest mix on SoundCloud, and make sure to download or stream "Together" on your preferred platform.

"Hard dance is everything to me, truly. It’s my friend circle, my daily driver, my strength. 4-to-the-floor kicks = infinite expression. The dedicated newcomers in the scene are going to completely change what hard dance represents in the states. In the near future, we’ll be hearing a lot more hardcore and uptempo from influential artists like Rollz Royce, Toumi, Schirmer, and AeroSway. When enough ears catch on to the sound - the sky’s the limit!" - @orotodj

HPNOTIC has been holding it down for the hardstyle scene in America. Over the year's she's played major events like Basscon Wasteland and Escape Psycho Circus and releasing tunes like "Move Your Body" with Kamikaze on Keeping The Rave Alive. America isn't the only place she's seen success as she's been all over the world bringing her hypnotizing sound to the biggest stages including Defqon. 1, Q-base, and Hard With Style. 

When asked about the Hard Dance scene in the US, HPNOTIC was very excited about its growth. She explained that audiences in the US are more open to hybrid styles of music and spoke on the collaborations that have ensued. "I see more and more artists from different genres collaborating with hard dance artists, as well as hard dance artists taking influences from other genres," HPNOTIC said. "I’m excited about this evolution! I think creativity comes from combining different things together. Diversity will continue to bring hard dance to the next level." 

On February 26, HPNOTIC is scheduled to take the stage at Basscon Wasteland - and to celebrate the return of the festival she stopped by to spin an exclusive mix for our Paradigm Shift series. Her mix gives fans a taste of her 'HPNOTIC' style and features plenty of homegrown talent including Lucky Rabbit, Lady Faith, Talon, RIZE, and a special unreleased treat as well.

"Hard dance music literally changed my life and it’s a huge part of my identity. There is a countless amount of influence it has on my life. My love and passion for hard dance music has pushed me to achieve unimaginable things such as moving to Amsterdam and Los Angeles, as well as connecting with thousands of people all around the world. I can’t imagine myself existing without it. With hard dance music, I feel like I can be myself, free from external pressure. I’ve been dedicated to my HPNOTIC project for over a decade now."

Nurko is one of the fastest rising artists in the scene today and it only takes listening to a handful of his tunes to see why. Early releases like "Goodbye" and "Your Embrace" set the tone for the soundscapes he could create, while he continued to impress with "Disappearing Now" with Chandler Leighton and "Hallejulah" with Devon Baldwin as well. 

Last month, Nurko dropped the details for his forthcoming EP, Arrival, and gave his growing fanbase some insight into the meaning, story, and symbol of his project as well. Further, he announced that he is set to embark on a US tour that will kick off on March 10 in Portland and take him to cities like New Orleans, Tampa, Dallas, and more.

This past week, Nurko continued to build up the hype for what's to come on the Arrival EP with the latest single to surface, "Lost Without You." Out now via Proximity, this tune sees him team up with fellow rising artists Crystal Skies and KnownAsNat to offer up another sensational track that's dripping with emotion. To celebrate that release and the forthcoming tour, Nurko spun up a mix for the Winter Waveforms series that will surely fill any craving for melodic bass you might have.

"I have my first EP coming out called “Arrival” as well as my first headline tour to go along with the EP. I also have a ton of new singles coming for you that are some of my favorite tracks to date! I hope to see you on the tour! Have a safe and happy 2022." - @nurkomusic

Since his first release in 2018, FADEAD has held it down for the hard dance scene in the Bay Area and beyond. While he specializes in powerful euphoric records like "Need You Here" and "Without Me," he can also throw down some heat in different styles. Over the past few years, he's had two dubstep/hardstyle hybrid collaborations with Stryer, showing his versatility and ability to adapt no matter the situation.

FADEAD kicked off 2022 in a big way as he was a part of the launch for NRG Records with "Into The Fire," which saw him utilizing the hard psy sound and creating a fine line between euphoric hardstyle and rawstyle. When asked about the hard dance scene in America, he felt that there's going to be a major breakthrough soon. "With the more exposure the EDM community gets from [hard dance], the more of a chance it has of becoming a bigger market compared to how it is at the moment," he said. "Deep down… everyone comes around sooner or later, and I am honored to be a part of its upbringing in America."

Looking to keep the momentum going, he stopped by to spin up a guest mix on our hard dance mix series, Paradigm Shift. Without spoiling too much, this mix includes four unreleased tunes, where three of them belong to FADEAD, along with a multitude of the latest and greatest hard dance tunes from Europe. The Bay Area producer also shows love to plenty of homegrown artists, so fans will hear tunes from KAMI, Quarkee, and TYEGUYS throughout its runtime.

FADEAD has earned himself a spot as one of the producers that are contributing to the recent growth of hard dance music and you're not going to want to miss him on his way to the top. With that being said, turn the volume up to 11 and crank on his latest mix to get a taste of one of the brightest young talents in the American Hard Dance scene.

"Hard dance is everything to me. I remember getting exposed to it when I was 13. I had never heard something so powerful, with so much emotion behind the melodies, and the aggression behind the kicks. It’s all emotions in one project or track. It’s not for many, but I know it means something special to all of us that do listen to hard dance. It’s a lifestyle!  As for me, I’m really looking forward to releasing the music I’ve been holding on to! I hope that I get to play more shows for you guys as well. It’s amazing seeing people hit every kickroll to my tracks!" - Distortion Code

"Hard dance has always been a delightful experience since I heard my first hardstyle track in 2016. Since then, I've been going faster and faster in the tempo, and I've ended up here in a grateful, loving community with great friends and most importantly, hard dance! I hope to explore the world with USTEMPO and my friends Oroto, Rollz Royce, EQUAL2, Kimmercore, Aerosway, Chrizens and more! Shout out to these peeps for helping me along the way. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thanks everyone, and I hope you stay tuned." - @Toumi

Over the past year, a unique crossroads has surfaced between the fitness and hard dance communities. Thanks to social media platforms like TikTok, the harder styles have found their way into countless viral fitness videos, and it's unlike anything the scene has seen before. While there's no official genre name for this type of hard dance that has captivated the fitness community, it's been dubbed "Fuarkstyle" as an homage to community member Zyzz, and Dionysus is helping lead the charge.

Of all the new producers making this new genre, Dionysus has undoubtedly been a standout. Multiple originals and bootlegs of his have reached millions of streams on SoundCloud and Spotify, even though he just started out last year. There's no doubt he's creating something unique, and now with a brand-new team, expect to see his name start dotting hard dance lineups in the US and beyond.

Looking to get more insight into this rapid-growing community and subgenre, we caught up with Dionysus to discuss his backstory, the rapid success his producing career has seen, and the project's future. In addition, he spun up a special guest mix for us that includes fan-favorite tracks like "CLEN" with Yosuf that perfectly encapsulates the personality of Dionysus. So turn the volume up on his brand-new guest mix and click the link to read our whole conversation with him!

With a bit of every music genre imaginable as his muse, crawdad sniper first brought his talents to the bass music scene in 2021. He has since gained well-deserved recognition and love that have only since snowballed in 2023. Based in Washington, D.C., crawdad sniper is not one to take genre boundaries (or anything in life) too seriously. His music nods to countless styles, from classic rock to indie psychedelic sounds. Fans can't help but appreciate the original and funny branding that goes along with weirdly wonderful sounds, which are exactly what you'll hear in his sound-design-focused and bass-filled discography.

This year has been full of wins for crawdad sniper, who has released two EPs with plenty of singles and SoundCloud bootlegs in between. Among them is his popular take on "Butthole Surfers" by Pepper, which takes the trophy of his most-listened track on SoundCloud. He's gotten to show off his groove-heavy flair on some crispy sound systems recently, from Sound Haven's mainstage to Elements Festival's Wub Hub stage. With upcoming performances at Submersion Festival and Autumn Revival still ahead of him, 2023 undoubtedly marks a breakout year as he hooks more fans at every stop.

Not only did crawdad sniper make us an incredible guest mix, but we also got the chance to ask him about his inspirations, his journey to becoming "crawdad sniper,' and plenty more in our interview!

Mojave Grey is a fascinating live electronic music act consisting of Zander Black and Michael Pozzi, two dreamers bitten by the entertainment bug long ago. After a laundry list of individual accomplishments like signing to Interscope and creative involvement in HBO's Silicon Valley, the two came together to develop something special for electronic dance music lovers across the globe. 

They call their sound desert dance music. The kind of music that makes you want to kick up the dust as the grandeur of the open land overwhelms the senses. Mojave Grey integrates Western cinematic themes with an eclectic blend of rock, pop, and electronic to make the concept come to life. In just three short years, the duo has made an indelible mark, performing at their very first Mayan Full Moon Party, as well as taking it to the tropics for Miami Art Basel before flipping the script for a chilly Aspen residency at The Snow Lodge.

Mojave Grey has taken their project further by creating their Origins micro-series. This three-chapter visual fantasy takes fans on an edge-of-your-seat adventure while weaving in tracks along the way - "Thunderbird," "Things We've Done," and "Chasing After You" will remain timeless and cherished as Mojave Grey shifts into a flourishing future in this industry. Most recently, they delivered "House Of The Sun," and with just one listen, you'll be begging to hear this on the big speakers as the sun creeps its way into view.

Mojave Grey is a duo you need to keep on your radar if you're looking for music with personality. Their unique sound palette combined with off-the-charts imagination confirms that we've only just scratched the surface with these two. So, get to know the ins and outs of Mojave Grey by smashing play on their exclusive guest mix below, and then clicking the link for our chat with Zander!

As established artists from different scenes continue exposing fans to harder, forbidden sounds, the demand and hype for hard dance and hard techno soars. The rapid rise in these two genres has inspired many to join the movement, for better or worse, but it's also helped many artists return to their roots. The accessibility to hard music has drawn back many artists who may have strayed with a renewed love for the harder styles. One of those artists is MADGRRL.

"I’m creating the future. It’s crazy to think about, but it’s why I love innovating and making crazy kicks. Even if I ever stopped producing music, I feel many artists would still feel this way and keep working more outside of the box than we ever have before! I think American Hard Dance is going to be one hell of a ride." - @equal_2

Some magic in the dance music scene happened when NITTI and Party Favor put their minds together to form SIDEPIECE. Since first joining forces, the duo has not only dropped Grammy-nominated tunes for the masses to groove out to, but they've continued to deliver some of the most fun-loving sets that house music lovers can shuffle away to all day and night.

While much of 2024 has been quiet so far, SIDEPIECE kicked themselves into full gear on the release front by dropping a fresh tune with another hot house artist, San Pacho. "Taka" is out now across all platforms and will inject plenty of energy into your veins with its chopped vocals, organic drums, horns, and overall infectious groove. This pairing is a match made in house music heaven, and you'll find yourself vibing to the track from the moment you press play.

SIDEPIECE's performances have been memorable, and they're adding Shabang Festival to the mix this year. This festival, which will take place in San Luis Obispo on May 3-4, features the duo along with other standout artists like Noizu, Walker & Royce, and more. And to get everyone hyped they've spun up a mix that's teeming with quality house tunes that will have your body moving and shaking along with it.

"This mix is a great display of what is currently inspiring and driving me. I am forever connected to the underground sounds paired with my favorite popular vocals, creating an eye-opening and digestible experience with different sounds from the underground like UKG, playful breakbeats, acid basslines, deep dubs, jungle-influenced FX, melodic riddims, and some trap-inspired drums!" - @MaryDroppinz

He's also garnered some notable support across the scene for his releases, including his flip of Charli XCX's "1999" and, more recently, his flip of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll."

If you want quality techno grooves, then Alfred Heinrichs is the man for you. This year, he dropped tunes like "If You," "Easy Come Easy Go," and "In Liebe Mit Mir" for the masses to consume. While these tunes all landed on Supdub Records, he couldn't stay away from I AM MELODIC TECHNO for too long, and he released "Regenbogenbrücke (Let Them Go)" to satiate that craving earlier this month.

As the fall months kick into gear, Alfred Heinrichs dropped off a mix that encapsulates the season's vibes. "Let the rhythm guide you through the heat, where every beat becomes a memory and every moment, a melody," he said about the techno-fueled mix.

Drum and bass artist SIREN is taking the scene by storm with her dynamic sound. Hailing from the UK, this DJ and producer gained momentum over the past few years after releasing some fantastic tunes and performing wicked sets in Australia, New Zealand, and the US while getting nods from BBC Radio 1 and the Drum and Bass Awards along the way.

SIREN has only continued to impress in 2024 with a debut at Red Rocks and notable bookings throughout the US, UK, and Europe. On the release front, her latest single, "Dimension," saw her team up with Mila Falls to deliver an impactful soundscape that fully displays her hard-hitting sound. While SIREN's fresh tune on Deadbeats shows off her current era, there's much more to dive into regarding her deep roots in the scene - and luckily, she had some time to chat.

Los Angeles-based DJ, producer, and Kyra Collective founding member Kurei has built a name for herself on the premise that industry insiders prodded her to avoid: genre-bending.

It's safe to say that Kurei has carved a signature niche in dance music that is not only irresistible but also authentic to her aesthetic and feminist values. As this sonic rule-breaker and certified girl's girl continues to unravel the vibes and vestiges that inform and inspire her sound today, we caught up with her for a chat.

FENIK is quickly becoming a name that you shouldn't ignore in the house music scene. Originally from Philadelphia but now residing in Nashville, he made a rocking debut in the scene last year when he debuted on Walker & Royce's Rules Don't Apply with "Blowing Up My Phone." Since then, he's dropped off tunes like "Vertigo" with No/Me and "Escape" with Basura Boyz on the imprint, while also touching into the techno realm with "All Night" on Trace Amounts.

While many DJs started as musicians in other genres or by picking up the decks, Super Progressive’s journey has been different. Turn back the clock to 2021, and you’ll find William Noglows, the man behind the name, taking his first steps into the wider world of electronic music. He wasn’t initially spinning on decks or toying around in the studio. Instead, his approach was through an interview-fueled podcast that was launched with the intention of educating the masses.

Since then, the Super Progressive podcast has grown immensely, especially on Instagram, where the account has amassed over 100,000 followers in just a few short years. The core of this series is his conversations with legendary artists and forward-thinking fresh faces, all of which explore the past, present, and future of progressive house music. Guests have included the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Danny Howells, Dave Seaman, Yotto, Ezequiel Areas, Quivver, and, most recently, Paul Van Dyk.

Super Progressive’s success has led to the emergence of branded shows in London that have sold out, as well as gaining a nod as a brand partner for Balance Croatia this summer. That isn’t all, as he’s flexed his skills behind the decks along the way. Not only has Super Progressive warmed up the stage for talented artists in the progressive house realm, but he’s also hosted a residency at Manchester’s Progmatic event series and played Skyline in Glasgow.

Florida has been on the minds of many over the past few weeks as the dust continues to settle from Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, but there's been something else brewing North of that action in Orlando. That's where rising techno artist Jake Anthony resides, and he's been climbing the ranks of the scene over the past few years with his unique twist on the genre in tow.

While Jake Anthony might be one of the freshest faces in the Florida techno scene, having only released his debut single in 2023, he's quickly begun to turn heads. He's dropped off tunes on labels like SHADE, Humble House Records, and more since then. He's also picked up momentum on the performance front, playing festivals like Home Bass and Shipwrecked, as well as taking the stage at nightclubs like Gilt and The Ritz Ybor, among others.

When you look at the lengthy run of house music, there are plenty of pioneers who deserve a mention, and one is Toolroom boss Mark Knight. For over two decades, he's been at the forefront of bringing dancefloor-ready sounds to the masses, doing everything from producing and performing to running a label and more during that time. 

While Mark Knight might be found playing in different countries around the globe, when he returns to his home in the UK, the dial gets turned up a notch. That's exactly what UNDER had in mind when the collective booked him to play their Café Mambo Ibiza event, which is set to take place beneath the Nene Parkway Flyover in Peterborough on May 3. He'll be performing a classics-fueled set at the show, celebrating everything there is to love about the iconic venue on the White Isle, but before he takes the stage, he swung by to chat.

If you're searching for an artist who will sweep you off your feet and carry you into a soundscape of their own creation then melodic house artist Rylan Taggart is someone you should definitely tune into. Based out of Vancouver, he's released plenty of tunes that continually put listeners in a bliss-like state while also gaining the support from major artists in the scene like Above & Beyond and Lane 8.

Riding the impressive offering of tracks with Jerro, "Signal" and "Memories Never Die", along with solo tune "Peggy" on This Never Happened that closed 2018 out perfectly, he has shown no signs of slowing this year. Continuing to build on his body of work, he whisked us away to a far off desert with the release of "Petra" on Elliptical Sun and double-downed with a Spring Mix that we've had on repeat for weeks.

Few people embrace life quite like Ravenscoon. The San Francisco-based producer draws on all of his experiences, good and bad, to create his signature "beautiful chaos" sound that has bass music fans on notice in 2020. Despite the unprecedented change in the music industry over the past few months, he has enjoyed considerable success.

This year has seen the release of "Dirty South," a wild bass-driven collaboration with Viskus, back in February and played multiple shows before the flurry of cancellations due to COVID-19. Aside from his music-making prowess, many have come to appreciate Ravenscoon's openness on social media. He's not afraid to speak his mind, becoming a beacon of authenticity in a largely superficial digital world.

So when the opportunity to chat with Ravenscoon presented itself, we couldn't help but jump on the opportunity. Additionally, his guest mix is a perfect example of "beautiful chaos" as he explores different tempos, rhythms, and sound design in an hour of mind-bending, genre-defying music. Anyone who appreciates bass should listen to this mix, it truly has something for everyone!

If you been paying close attention to artists who have been making waves in the techno scene as of late then there's no doubt that Weska should be an artist who you've come across. Born in Canada but now based out of Germany, he's been gaining some serious support over the past few years with releases on labels like Drumcode and Octopus Recordings.

This year has already seen Weska embark on a new journey as well with his self-released Waves series picking up momentum with his recent third edition. But that wasn't enough to satiate his cravings for releasing absolute tunes as today, he's gifted us all with a free download of his "Don't Think" edit.

Originally crafted by renowned The Chemical Brothers, Weska reworked the tune so that it would fit seamlessly in his own sets. The result? Pure techno goodness. His spin has been perfect to listen to in nearly any setting whether it be your own living room or a massive stage at Creamfields where Adam Beyer and Cirez D played it out for a crowd of thousands.

One of the artists in the trance scene who has been leaving a lasting impression on listeners around the globe for over a decade now is Steve Brian. A frequent face on Euphonic and Enhanced Recordings, he’s an artist who has truly carved out his space with uplifting releases that fill the souls of anyone who tunes in and are impossible to ignore.

Earlier this year, the German producer dropped two stunning tunes for his fans to feast their ears on, “Damage Each Other” with Danni Boyler and “Somebody” with Eric Lumiere. Setting the tone for what’s to come on his forthcoming album on Enhanced Progressive, 1986, both tracks put his amazing skills in the studio on full display as they tug at heartstrings with their emotional lyrics and beats that force your feet into a frenzy.

This past Friday, he paired the previous tunes with another fresh single, this time teaming up with Michael Jo to deliver “Hold You Down.” A continuation of the personal story that Steve Brian plans to complete with the release of the full album, the raw euphoria found within this tune will have your fingers gravitating to the play button for another listen.

Now, in celebration of the recent release and arrival of the cooler months, Steve Brian has spun up a mix that packs a punch and keeps you warm inside. Featuring his own singles, as well as a wicked bootleg of Coldplay’s “Daddy” by Patrik Humann and Fatum’s unreal track “City Lights,” it’s a 30-minute adventure you simply won’t want to miss out on.

A relative newcomer who has only been active in the scene since 2017, OCULA was off to an auspicious start with the help of deadmau5 and early releases on mau5trap. Since then his music has graced several notable imprints as he began to turn heads with his stunning soundscapes including Colorize and This Never Happened, as well as both Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep.

In 2020, OCULA took the year by the horns and truly made the most of what has been a challenging journey. He has released more music this year than his previous three combined - and by a notable margin at that. OCULA's originals included two singles and the Summit EP, while he also collaborated with other artists such as Jerro and Le Youth while remixing the likes of Lane 8 as well.

While he hasn't maintained his own presence on Twitch like some other DJs, his music has been featured on many others throughout the year. OCULA even curated a playlist to help us "Remember" during the earliest days of the pandemic to keep our minds centered. He's been a busy artist, and we are thankful for all that OCULA has given us this year while also super excited about what is still ahead for this rising star in 2021.

As the final days of 2020 wind down, we're proud to have OCULA as the final Artist Spotlight of the year. He brings us an emotional guest mix and some terrific insight into his background, so check it out below!
