DONT BLINK made a big impact in the music scene in 2018 with their debut EP on Nervous Records, featuring popular tracks like "Come On Up" and "Insane" that quickly amassed over 1 million streams on Spotify and landed on the Housewerk playlist. In 2020, the duo focused heavily on producing new music and saw great success with releases like "Vibration," which reached #1 on the Tech House Top 100 on Beatport and remained in the #2 position on the Overall Top 100 for an extended period. They also secured a place among the top-selling Tech House artists on Beatport alongside industry heavyweights such as Eli Brown, Chris Lake, and Martin Ikin.

The recognition continued to pour in when DONT BLINK was selected as one of Tomorrowland's Future 4 artists in April 2021, giving them a platform to showcase their sound and tease upcoming releases on Repopulate Mars, Stereohype, Solotoko, Night Bass, Armada Deep, and more.

As a standout and highly requested track in Maceo Plex sets over the last year, his Ellum Audio label finally releases Raxon's 'The Cage of Love,' an epic cover of trance classic 'Age of Love'. 

The original 'Age of Love' is a genre and era-defining tune. Despite its legendary status, Raxon is an artist who is more than up to the challenge of reinterpreting it for contemporary dance floors. The Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based artist is an underground mainstay with a fantastic album on Kompakt, top singles on Ellum Audio and Cocoon Recordings and gigs all over the world. He has teased this track at many of them, and it has never failed to light up the dance floor. 

'The Cage Of Love' has an all-new techno feel with a taught bassline and slapping drum funk. The lead synths are molten and futuristic, while the original's vocal adds the iconic hook. The track builds in layers, teasing and then pleasing when it finally drops as the dance floor explodes and the laser-like synths spray about the mix with a life of their own. 

The vinyl comes with extended and instrumental mixes, while digital downloads include the radio edit and extended mixes. 

This is a new high point for Raxon and a bona fide classic in the making from Ellum Audio.

UK-based breakout artist Matt Guy is bringing his 3-track EP „Raindrops EP" to Diynamic, showcasing his signature high-energy rave sound.
„Raindrops (Ready To Fly)“ kick-starts the record with punchy percussions and a dirty acid groove.
„Going Around“ brings early 2000s underground energy, with its hypnotic vocal line and an infectious lead.
And the good-vibes bassline of „This Way“ sends us off with a smile and 90s dance nostalgia.

Eddie Amador’s ‘House Music’ is, without question, a bonafide classic. As it reaches its 25th milestone on Yoshitoshi, Sharam provides a timely remix that perfectly updates the record for today’s dancefloors.
 
“I’d been toying with the idea of remixing ‘House Music’ for quite a while but always opted to give it to better hands as Dubfire and I had once remixed it as Deep Dish, so didn’t think I could add anything new,” he explains, “it wasn’t until I saw the 25th anniversary was fast approaching that I thought I’d give it a shot, so I put everything aside to get it done.”
 
Safe to say, many will be glad he did; his modish ‘2.5’ interpretation is a powerful blend of melodic, house and techno in the best, purist sense of the words - a fusion few can pull off. Yet, the original, which is presented here in recently remastered guise, still holds its own and confirms its classic status with ageless aplomb.

Eddie Amador - House Music (Sharam 2.5 Club Remix)

Here comes Four To The Floor 39.
Starting things off is „Alive Again“ by newcomer Janne Johannes, setting the scene with his somber voice over hopeful arpeggios and an almost post apocalyptic vibe.
„Ambush“ by Afonso Caravaggio is a raging bull of a track. The musician turned visual artist turned musician again takes us on a joyride, you just need to hold on tightly to not get thrown by the buckling bass.
„Backstage Dippin“ by Fred Lenix is a slow brooding growler, building tension in the dark room - feel the sweat dripping of the low ceiling.
And „Bring it Back“ by Viv Castle sucks you into its vortex of drum n bass percussions and dizzyingly interweaving vocals - don’t trust the warmth of the looming sub bass cause it’s gonna consume you!
