Anyma has revealed the tracklist of his long-awaited third album, The End Of Genesys.

Scheduled for May 30th, the release will wrap a trilogy of albums that started with 2023's Genesys and its predecessor the following year, Genesys II. The album "marks the end of one era and the dawn of Anyma’s next chapter," per a press release.

The End Of Genesys features recent singles like "Neverland (From Japan)" and "Hypnotized," the fan-favorite track Anyma released in January alongside Ellie Goulding. The album will also include collaborations with Grimes, Yeat, fknsyd, Sevdaliza, 070 Shake and Empire of the Sun's Luke Steele.

Anyma initially revealed the album during the finale of his historic Vegas Sphere residency, by which he became the $2.3 billion venue's first-ever electronic headliner. The Italian techno superstar's immersive shows there effectively redefined the optics of live electronic music concerts, projecting his transhumanist visuals on its record-breaking, 16K LED wraparound screen.

Reinvention is ritual in Ibiza, and its newest nightlife destination, [UNVRS], arrives not merely as another venue but as a game-changer poised to reshape what club culture looks, sounds and feels like on the legendary party island.

Set to open its doors at the end of this month, the hi-tech [UNVRS], the latest venture from Yann Pissenem's The Night League, is readying a launch of epic proportions. Equal parts club, arena and immersive installation, the venue will make its long-awaited debut with a "once-in-a-lifetime" opening party, per a press release.

Promising "scale, spectacle and storytelling," the launch event is dubbed "[UNVRS] - The Opening." Built by the same creative minds behind Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza, the venue aims to blend the intimacy of a club with the reach and resonance of an arena-sized production.

Some might call it swimming against the current. Toolroom Records, however, would call it knowing what actually makes us all dance.

In a digital age where streaming all too often dominates the conversation, Mark Knight's storied record label has defiantly proven that culture still matters most. The independent electronic music powerhouse recently claimed Beatport's prestigious "Best Selling Label of the Year" award for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its position as a juggernaut in the DJing ecosystem.

With Beatport's massive footprint of 36 million users and nearly half a million DJ customers, the achievement represents the true verdict of the global dancefloor. The platform's sales-based metrics offer an unfiltered glimpse into what's actually moving bodies in clubs worldwide.

There's a sad "stream or die" mentality in 2025, and it can corrode the mentalities of even the most talented artists. But Toolroom COO Miles Shackleton knows that true longevity in dance music is measured on dancefloor impact, not data dashboards.

c/o Press

Two decades since launching, the label continues to demonstrate remarkable adaptability in an industry that transforms as quickly as a TikTok DJ's dignity. As they focus on mashing genres into new microgenres no one asked for, Shackleton has stayed hyper-aware of dancefloor trends through superior A&R instincts and marketing savvy.

We caught up with him to highlight the secret sauce behind Toolroom's industry-leading A&R and marketing strategies. Read on to discover Shackleton's insights in his own words.

After lockdown, we took a long look in the mirror. The world had changed, and so had the dance music industry. It was time to realign with the reason Toolroom existed in the first place: to move people, both physically and emotionally, on the dancefloor. 

That meant cutting the noise, tuning back into the clubs, focusing on signing music that truly works in the room. We called it “signing with our ears, not for the algorithm.” We focused on music that carried cultural weight, music that DJs would reach for instinctively.

That shift in thinking led directly to our biggest Beatport success stories of the past two years. Essel’s "Lennon," which emerged from Toolroom Academy, became a clubland essential long before it cracked streaming platforms. And this year, "Dance to the Music" by Tony Romera and Low Steppa followed the same arc: club first, algorithm later.

In 2025, you don’t promote a record—you embed it. That means ditching the one-size-fits-all marketing assets and starting with what matters: real club energy, captured and shared by real people.

We’ve rebuilt our marketing playbook around user-generated content, authentic DJ reactions and moments that show our music in its natural habitat: the club. Instead of crafting a polished visual identity in isolation, we seed the records into the scene and let the buzz grow organically. From dancefloor clips in Tulum to iPhone footage from London basements, we work to capture and circulate the moments when a Toolroom track lands. That’s the marketing strategy: insert the record into the culture and let it breathe.

We’ve also gone harder on DJ and tastemaker promo than ever before. We’re obsessive about where our tracks are landing and who’s playing them. It’s not about hype; it’s about creating records that DJs want in their sets. That’s the real win.

Our core artist roster isn’t just a roster—it’s a squad. Essel, Crusy, Martin Ikin, Tony Romera, Cassim… these are artists we’ve grown with, believed in and invested in over the long haul.

Their individual sounds and stories may differ, but what unites them is trust. They trust us to amplify their vision, and we trust them to represent the Toolroom ethos on the world stage. We don’t dip in and out of trends. We build careers. And that long-term view pays off: every chart-topper and Beatport #1 we’ve had is part of a bigger arc. 

These aren’t flash-in-the-pan moments; they’re the result of consistent work and mutual belief between label and artist. This level of trust creates freedom—freedom to experiment, evolve and try new ideas. It’s why we’re proud to say some of our biggest hits have come from artists who’ve been with us for years. They’re not just part of our label. They are the label.

We’ve always had a deep respect for the DJs and producers who make this culture move. That’s why we spend so much time listening, engaging and responding to their needs. Whether it’s through Toolroom Academy, direct A&R sessions or global conferences, we’re constantly in conversation with our audience—not just broadcasting to them.

We know a big part of our fanbase are creators themselves. They’re not just passively listening; they’re playing in clubs, producing their own tracks, and looking for their own breakthroughs. We want to support that journey. That’s why we’ve invested so heavily in education, mentorship and access. When we say “Toolroom Family,” we mean it.

This direct relationship with DJs and producers is a huge part of why our records sell on Beatport. We're not just making music for the scene—we’re in it, and constantly learning from it. That dialogue keeps our catalogue sharp, relevant and useful for the people who need it most.

Finally, none of this happens without the people behind the scenes. Our team has been together for years, many of them for over a decade. They’re not just great at what they do; they’re invested. They live it. They DJ, they produce, they tour, they teach and they bring that understanding into every release we put out.

There’s a deep sense of purpose in the Toolroom offices. We’re not chasing short-term wins; we’re building something lasting. Everyone here understands the mission: to serve club culture with authenticity, creativity and care. That energy radiates outward and artists feel it, fans feel it, and DJs see it in the way we show up.

Our Beatport success isn’t just about the music. It’s about the people. A tight, dedicated crew working together over years to support artists, honor the scene and push this culture forward. That’s the real reason we’re #1.

Denver's Civic Center Park hit a new high this past weekend as Dom Dolla drew the largest crowd in the venue's history May 9-10, the DJ announced on social media.

The open-air shows marked a major moment not just for the Australian house music superstar, but for Denver's volcanic reputation as an electronic music hotspot. The park, which has hosted notable acts like Lane 8, Zeds Dead and even a Boiler Room takeover, has seen its fair share of dance shows, but nothing quite like this.

Fans packed into the downtown space, drawn in by a stacked lineup that included Cassian, who recently performed at the record-breaking Las Vegas Sphere as part of Anyma's groundbreaking "End of Genesys" residency; and Girl Math, the formidable duo of VNSSA and Nala.

Across both nights, Dolla leaned into the hedonistic house sound at the heart of his rapid ascent, mixing both recent hits and deeper cuts. Taking place during sunset, his set transitioned smoothly from day to night with production elements that highlighted both the venue’s architecture and the atmospheric pull of his music.

Check out footage from the record-setting performance below.

Celebrating the birthday of Brian Eno, acclaimed electronic music producer Lawrence Lui is paying homage to the godfather of ambient music with a cover of 1992's "Fractal Zoom." 

Lui dials up the dissonance on his rework of the track, which appeared on Eno's 11th studio album, Nerve Net. It's out now to align with both AAPI Heritage Month and Eno's 77th trip around the sun.

Awash in atmospheric density, Lui's production somehow feels both spacious and claustrophobic as ghostly samples hover atop layers of grainy textures. Traces of Japanese ambient icon Hiroshi Yoshimura's environmental precision intermingle with the distorted melancholia of Burial, creating something that honors the track's origins while establishing new territory. 

The release serves as a preview of Lui's upcoming album, according to a press release. The cover art by his teenage son adds another layer of generational dialogue, channeling Peter Saville's iconic Factory Records aesthetic.

You can listen to Lui's cover of "Fractal Zoom" below and find it on streaming platforms here.

As nearly half a million ravers prepare to descend on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for EDC, the festival's organizers at Insomniac are making sure its signature sounds and colors travel far beyond Nevada’s borders.

North America's largest electronic music festival is returning to Las Vegas from May 16-18, and it's delivering an expansive livestream offering across Insomniac TV and YouTube.

The stream begins each day at 6:45pm PT, capturing the full play-by-play of EDC's neon-drenched dreamscape. For its 2025 edition, Insomniac will broadcast live from five of the festival's celebrated stages: kineticFIELD, cosmicMEADOW, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN and bassPOD. Each will stream on its own dedicated feed, allowing remote viewers to curate their own festival experience.

Motor City's storied Movement Electronic Music Festival is getting a boost of endorphins over Memorial Day Weekend with the launch of the "Detroit Techno 5k," a new event blending running with techno.

Scheduled for Sunday, May 25th, the 75-minute run will take participants along the scenic Detroit River and through the historic grounds of Fort Wayne. As the first-ever fitness-focused event tied to Movement, it’s both a race and a celebration of techno culture in the genre's birthplace.

The event is being organized by longtime runners and friends Harrison Diskin and Zac Berlin, who worked closely with Movement and the city of Detroit to secure permits, according to The Jewish News. Diskin, a veteran event producer in Detroit and Chicago, is also an avid runner who found that staying out late for shows began to take a toll on his body.

"When we take care of our bodies and our minds, it makes a lot of the late nights more enjoyable and a lot more accessible," he said. "As attendees are maturing, there's a growing interest in health and wellness that’s really starting to resonate."

That mind-body connection is at the heart of the race, which invites participants of all skill levels to run, walk or just warm up ahead of a long day at Movement, the nation's leading techno festival. Open to all fitness levels, the 3.1-mile course will conclude with an afterparty featuring a DJ set by renowned house music producer Will Clarke. After crossing the finish line, participants can refuel with local favorites like Dutch Girl Donuts and The Schvitz before heading straight to Movement. 

Tickets to the "Detroit Techno 5K" are on sale now. Movement is scheduled for May 25–27 at Detroit’s Hart Plaza with a lineup featuring Charlotte de Witte, Jamie xx, Sara Landry, Nina Kraviz and more.

Champagne Drip and Linney have reunited to release Story Arcs, a genre-bending EP out now via Liquid Stranger's Wakaan imprint.

The three-track project masterfully oscillates between future bass, house, dubstep and drum & bass as Champagne Drip threads his dreamlike production through the emotive vocals of Linney, a recent inductee to the EDM.com Class of 2025. The duo last teamed up in 2021 for "In My Dreamz," and their latest once again strikes a compelling balance between storytelling and hypotonic production.

"I poured a lot into Story Arcs—it came from a real place and gave me the chance to blend all the styles I love," Champagne Drip shared on social media.

The EP begins with "Inside Out," a bass track swirling with Champagne Drip's psychedelic soundscapes and Linney's aching lyrics. Then comes "Castle," where she guides us through a kaleidoscopic dubstep sequence before the arrangement closes with a breathtaking four-on-the-floor drop. They close with "Running," a liquid drum & bass cut that layers angelic vocals over carefully sculpted drum patterns and neurobass.

You can listen to Story Arcs below and find the new EP on streaming platforms here.

Remixing dance classics requires both reverence and audacity, qualities John Summit wields with finesse in his new remix of Delirium and Sarah McLachlan's turn-of-the-century trance hit, "Silence."

Summit's official remix is out now via Tomorrowland Music, the record label launched by the iconic EDM festival of the same name. The Chicago-born electronic music superstar manages to inject his anthemic sound while preserving the spiritual quality that made the original a genre-defining moment back in 1999.

McLachlan's timeless, crystalline vocals serve as the bedrock of Summit's reimagining, their existential weight magnified by his contemporary production approach. What emerges is a remarkable dialogue between decades as McLachlan's timeless meditation on human disconnection finds renewed urgency within Summit's propulsive house beats, proving that certain emotional truths transcend the confines of both musical eras and their dancefloors.

The track's journey from Madison Square Garden debut to official release mirrors Summit's own meteoric rise. His ability to bridge the generational gap (he also remixed deadmau5 and Kaskade's 2008 classic "I Remember") speaks to a producer who understands and respects dance music history while pushing relentlessly forward.

"As a longtime raver and trance fan, it’s an absolute honor to remix 'Silence’ by Delerium," Summit said in a press release. "I originally made this remix as an edit for my first ever arena show at the iconic Madison Square Garden and it quickly became a fan-favorite. It’s hard to give justice to such a classic, but I think Sarah McLachlan’s powerful vocals along with my trance infused modern tech house production helps bring this song to life in this current era and I’m so stoked to share this one with the world."
