With Forbidden Magic, Max & Dana continue to build on their rapidly growing reputation, bringing a fresh wave of energy and depth to the genre.
The inspiration behind Forbidden Magic came from an unexpected moment during a late-night studio session.

With decades of combined experience as musicians and producers, the duo has been a staple in the east coast's club and festival circuit long before their current project. Their 2024 journey has been nothing short of remarkable, starting with their breakout track Release Yourself, which reached #1 on Dear Deer Black and was featured in Beatport’s Best Melodic Hype of the month. Their follow-up single, Seventh Day, quickly ascended the Melodic Techno top 10, gaining global recognition and support from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Tiesto, Alesso, and Korolova.

DSTRTD SGNL Unleash Dark, Peak Time Energy with Their Fifth Release on City of Drums Black Label: "Untold Story"

With their fifth official release on City of Drums Black Label, the enigmatic techno duo DSTRTD SGNL returns with an electrifying new single: “Untold Story”. Known for their uncompromising sound design and pulse-pounding production, this Peak Time Techno anthem is set to shake dance floors across the globe.

The Story Behind "Untold Story"
The track title wasn’t chosen at random. “Untold Story” emerged from a studio session that turned unexpectedly introspective. As DSTRTD SGNL explain, the concept was born from the idea of stories that never get told — emotions unspoken, paths not taken, ideas buried under noise. These “untold” stories — those fragments of identity we hide or forget — became the emotional nucleus of the track.

The artists translated this concept into sonic form through hypnotic synth layers, relentless kicks, and shadowy atmospheres. The result is a driving techno track that captures both intensity and introspection — a balance rarely struck in the genre.

Peak Time Techno at Its Rawest
“Untold Story” is built for the Peak Time —  aggressive rhythm structures, and cinematic tension. It’s the kind of track that commands attention in the middle of a set, where the crowd is at its most alive. Heavy distortion and metallic textures mark this release as one of DSTRTD SGNL’s best yet.

Listen to "Untold Story" by DSTRTD SGNL – out now on City of Drums Black Label.
Available on Beatport, Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms.

Aris Neo Unleashes “Matrix Magic” – A Thrilling Melodic House & Techno Journey on City of Drums Black Label

Aris Neo returns to City of Drums Black Label with his third release, delivering a powerful sonic statement titled "Matrix Magic". Following the success of his last two singles, which both climbed the Beatport Hype Charts, the rising producer once again proves why he's one to watch in the melodic house and techno scene.

The title Matrix Magic was inspired by a moment of creative detachment — when Aris found himself fully absorbed in the process of producing. “It felt like I had left the real world,” he recalls. “I was completely inside the flow — every sound was like part of a system, like code that was writing itself. It was surreal, and kind of beautiful. That’s where the title came from. Matrix Magic is about that feeling when the music takes over — when everything aligns.”

The track captures that exact sensation: a relentless drive paired with digital elegance. It moves with the precision of a machine, but pulses with human emotion — a contrast that defines much of the best modern melodic techno.

Matrix Magic is available now on all major digital platforms. Whether you’re a DJ looking for a high-impact set opener or a fan of immersive, melodic electronic music, this release promises to transport you — one hypnotic beat at a time.

Listen now and experience the magic behind the matrix.
