Get a recap of last month’s new releases and music news with our monthly top picks playlist. Even though summer’s almost over, the party is only just beginning for DJs and producers. With virtual editions of some of the biggest festivals, such as Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza, fans have been able to dance the night away to festival anthems while DJs teased new tracks. David Guetta and MORTEN finally released their “future rave” project, New Rave, which Guetta teased during his EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon and his United At Home livestreams. Spanning four tracks in total, the EP showcases the growth of their patented “future rave” sound. In an interview with EDM.com, Guetta said, “You could play back-to-back the four records and completely...
Seven Lions has continuously kept fans on their toes since the beginning of 2020, releasing track after track. Last week, he released a remix album for his Find Another Way EP. Just 7 days later, he’s teamed up with Last Heroes and HALIENE for another fresh single, “Don’t Wanna Fall,” out via his Ophelia Records imprint. “Don’t Wanna Fall” is a passionate, energetic offering that fans of Seven Lions, Last Heroes, and HALIENE will find comfortingly familiar. HALIENE’s immaculate vocals float atop hollow kicks and crisp claps, eventually leading listeners into a flurry of shimmering synths and rumbling bass that Seven Lions and Last Heroes have cooked up. The trio has also included a handful of remarkably subtle e...
After teasing multiple remixes throughout his recent livestreams, Seven Lions announced that a remix package for his Find Another Way EP would arrive today. The EP has officially dropped and it is just as magnificent as we imagined. Doubling the size of the Find Another Way EP with 10 tracks, this remix package perfectly showcases each artist’s individual sound while still fitting into the niche that Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records has created. The diversity carries over from his Ophelia Presents: Advent Volume 1 compilation that dropped in May, as Gabriel & Dresden have injected their house sound into “What’s Done Is Done” while Delta Heavy has taken a drum & bass approach to the same tune. Listeners will also fin...
Seven Lions has announced a new single called “Don’t Wanna Fall,” a collaboration with fellow melodic dubstep aficionados Last Heroes. The track, which features blossoming songstress HALIENE, is releasing this Friday via Seven Lions’ own Ophelia Records banner. He took to Twitter to announce the exciting news, saying he is “stoked” for the impending release. Last Heroes also turned to social media to share their excitement, writing, “This track means so much to us for a lot of reasons, and we’re beyond excited to finally be announcing it.” The rising duo has released a litany of songs on Seven Lions’ flagship imprint, perhaps most notably their September 2019 Moments EP, a 4-track stunner with all the warm, cinematic future b...
Back in the month of March, Seven Lions unveiled his highly anticipated Find Another Way EP, offering up a beautiful 5-track project chock full of the typically rapturous sound synonymous with the melodic dubstep and trance kingpin. Seven Lions has now announced that a full remix package for Find Another Way is en route, arriving this Friday, July 3rd via his own Ophelia Records imprint. He took to Twitter to announce the exciting news, writing, “It’s been amazing sharing the Find Another Way EP with you all, and stoked that all the remixes I’ve been playing over all the livestreams will officially be out this Friday on [Ophelia Records].” Seven Lions has been teasing the remixes in many of his recent live sets, like his recent performance at the EDC Las V...
OG Seven Lions fans should be whipping out their calendars and marking next Thursday down with a thick Sharpie because he just announced some big news. The electronic kingpin took to Twitter today to announce the third iteration of his biweekly “Visions” livestream series in which he will be performing a “classic trance set.” While he has strayed from his signature trance style in recent years, its influence in his current sound is unambiguous. Whether its a melodic dubstep jam courtesy of his Ophelia Records imprint or a rave-ready psy-trance behemoth from his Abraxis side project, he imbues each release with the euphoric sonic flair of the genre that initially inspired him. Joining Seven Lions for “Visions #3” are fellow trance heavyweights I...
In 2012, when Seven Lions remixed Tritonal and Cristina Soto‘s breakout track “Still With Me,” it catapulted the single to what Spotify considers part of the Best Dance of the 2010s. Both the original and remix combined have raked in over 30 million plays. Soto’s angelic vocals were the driving force of the track, creating an ethereal veil that allowed the production to shine through. She’s now back to revisit the remix, delivering an acoustic mix of the global hit. Soto channels the structure laid out by Seven Lions while still making it her own through wide-open soundscapes brought on by the lush guitar work of her brother, Rob Soto. They add even more emotion to the track by adding in strings by Haydn Vitera and bass from Omar Vallejo, two well-k...
As artists and promoters scramble to find innovative ways to deliver live music in the post-apocalyptic musical landscape precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Seven Lions is throwing his hat into the drive-in rave game. He recently announced his “Park ‘N Rave” concerts, where he’ll host two twin drive-in shows in Chandler, Arizona. The melodic dubstep don and Ophelia Records label boss took to Twitter to announce that tickets to his forthcoming drive-in concerts, which will go down on Friday, June 26th and Saturday, June 27th are now on sale. Seven Lions’ “Tailgate Series” follows an influx of drive-in raves around the globe, including one hosted by Carnage at the same venue, Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. Partying...
Seven Lions‘ Ophelia Records imprint has lifted the veil on its latest project, entitled Ophelia Presents: Advent Volume 1. The Advent EP series is set to highlight a handful of talented newcomers with each volume. Without a doubt, the first rendition of Ophelia Records’s Advent EP series encapsulates the energy the label brings to the table as a whole and fits perfectly into the rest of their discography. Ophelia Presents: Advent Volume 1 kicks off with Thrillogy‘s “Enough,” a six-and-a-half minute epic that tells a tale of moving on through Gaille Fisher‘s emotive vocals and slow-climbing synths. Luke Anders and HGHLND then bring a heap of passion to a lush soundscape with the help of Roxanne Emery‘s vocals on their coll...
“Go hard or go home” is a mantra that Seven Lions honed in on from the literal second he started performing at last weekend’s monumental EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon. Kicking off his set in thunderous fashion, Seven Lions uncorked an absolute flamethrower of a dubstep tune that dropped jaws across every kitchen in America. It’s an unreleased ID that fans have been clamoring for on Twitter ever since its debut on the livestream event. What followed after ID’s drop was a relentless live set that took hold of its viewers and simply did not let go, featuring a swirling centrifuge of soaring future bass and face-melting dubstep that surely satiated the headbangers tuning in from home. The performance featured mostly originals from the Ophelia Re...
Back on April 23rd, 2020, organizers of EDC Las Vegas took to Twitter to announce that the famed festival was entering the virtual space.

The lineup features a number of electronic dance music’s most celebrated artists, like Kaskade, ZHU, Flosstradamus, Seven Lions, Zeds Dead, and Boombox Cartel. Other notable DJs taking part include Claude VonStroke, Deorro, Oliver Heldens, Valentino Khan, and a monumental B2B set from NGHTMRE and Ghastly, which has the looks of a surefire dark horse for the best set of t...
