AREA21

Martin Garrix and Maejor‘s AREA21 have revealed the final puzzle piece of their momentous return, an audio preview of their forthcoming single. AREA21 haven’t publicly announced the name of the track yet, but fans are tentatively calling it “La La La.” The song falls in the same vein as the alien-themed duo’s previous releases, perhaps most in line with “We Did It.” It features the dance-pop style of Garrix’s radio-friendly releases and bars from Maejor, a formula they’ve perfected like the veterans they are. It’s difficult to believe that AREA21’s debut single “Spaceships” came all the way back in April 2016. However, fans can let out a sigh of relief since the duo is primed to nix their hiatus wi...

AREA21 are trying to tell us something. The collaborative alias of Martin Garrix and Maejor sent an email to EDM.com today, March 24th, containing an audio file with a cryptic radio transmission message. We are unable to confirm who exactly the speaker is due to their concealment via voice modulation, but they are clearly signaling something big on the horizon. “Hello. We are coming,” the voice says before asking fans to join them on a “mission.” Back in October 2020, Garrix confirmed the imminent return of AREA21, saying the duo “basically made a whole album” in an interview. They then went on to wipe their social media accounts in January 2021 before teasing the album later that month.

After purging AREA21’s social media platforms of all content earlier this month—a strategic move used by many producers to indicate new music on the way—fans have now received their next clue.  Originally, it was believed that the new album would drop in March 2021. However, a mysterious new post by AREA21 could signal the release of new music earlier than expected. Though much of what’s to come still remains a mystery, fans can glean information from comments Garrix made in the telling interview from October. The Dutch...

Back in October, fans began counting down the New Year early after Martin Garrix revealed that new music from his side project with Maejor, AREA21, is coming in March. They’ve seemingly kickstarted the first steps of their promise, as on New Year’s Day, they deleted all the content from their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles dedicated to the group. While this may seem like simple maintenance to some, oftentimes creators delete all of their old content before the release of something substantial. With still three months before the promised release date, many fans are wondering if the deletion means AREA21 will be releasing something before March. Screenshot of AREA21’s wiped Instagram.
