Nick Warren: Live From Balance Croatia 2025

Rules Don't Apply is honored to welcome global dance music royalty Shinichi Osawa & Princess Superstar to the gang! Shinichi has solidified himself as one of Japan's most respected dance music exports, while Princess Superstar reigns supreme as a pillar for female voices in dance music with her contributions to electroclash.. you might even remember hearing her voice in the movie Saltburn!
Walker & Royce always loved Shinichi & Princess Superstar’s hit “Detonator” and decided to give it an update for their sets.. RDA is proud to present the sizzling & titanic “Detonator (Redux)”!

Originally released on Shinichi's 2007 album "The One", Sam & Gav took it upon themselves to inject their signature next level flare to give this nostalgic gem a rework..
A tyrannical bassline fitfully whips while a wizard-tier arrangement fuses with Walker & Royce's rowdy drum design & skittering motifs… Feel the danger!

Detonator (Redux)

LISTEN

Fresh off the release of “Detonator (Redux)” with Walker & Royce and Princess Superstar,
Japan’s Electro hero Shinichi Osawa returns to RDA with vocalist RHYME with the stunning & fierce 
“You Ain’t My Friend”.

You better back off cuz “You Ain’t My Friend”comes out the gate with force- 
a hefty, throbbing bass line gets garnished with venomous distorted riffs & brutal percussive shards while RHYME’s vocals decimate the ops. 
Bonus points for the rave breakdown!

You Ain't My Friend

Papa Lu makes a valiant return to Rules Don’t Apply with the uplifting single “Better” featuring The $how.
It’s been a crazy year. 
Not only has music changed a lot, but the world & society at large is undergoing many massive transitions.
“Better” reminds us that even in dark times, tomorrow will be a brighter day.
An elegant riff is juxtaposed by knockin’ drums and a throbbing sub line and the cherry on top is an enlightening sermon from Sacramento’s The $how.
“Focus all your energy in the present, and you’ll start to see that everyday is a gift”.

Better feat. The $how

I'll probably never write a proper song; who knows. I just like to fiddle with sound synthesis and try to capture my feeling at the moment. Audio tweets I suppose. 

All sounds are generated in either omnisphere, albino, reason, and, dare I say, arranged in live 8.
