Chico Rose takes the lead in “Alone Again,” a dark and sultry dance record produced alongside Dutch compatriot Afrojack. The frequent collaborators have returned to Spinnin’ Records to release the new track, a spellbinding pop-house hybrid. This time around, Rose and Afrojack joined forces with Canadian singer-songwriter Mougleta, whose stunning vocal performance hypnotizes and haunts the senses. A stark contrast to 2019’s peak-time progressive anthem “Never Sleeps,” the woozy collab finds the duo trading soaring sound design for hypnotic bass. The track would be a seductive, come-hither banger if not for Mougleta, who unapologetically warbles about rejecting an old flame. If there was a song equivalent to leaving a desperate ex read, this is it. Take a ...
What do you get when you combine the talents of three veteran dance music virtuosos? A new hit record called “Pieces,” which dropped today by way of the iconic Spinnin’ Records. The track comes from VASSY, Bingo Players and Disco Fries, a formidable trifecta of talent. “Pieces” is an ode to true love, blending anthemic production with honeyed house music vibes.

This high-profile collab arrives amidst a momentous year for VASSY, who recently celebrated a staggering two billion streams of “BAD,” her seminal big room anthem with David Guetta and Showtek. She also recently performed the halftime sh...
Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet released their collaboration “Narco” back in 2017, but it’s found new life in a strange place—the stadium of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets. “Narco” can be heard on a regular basis at Citi Field in Queens thanks to Mets closer Edwin Díaz, who uses it regularly as his entrance song. And despite its release over five years ago, the track recently entered the top five on Spotify’s viral hits chart. “It’s really out of this world basically, especially since it’s a track that’s been out for five years already,” Jongkind, one-half of Blasterjaxx, told the New York Post. “Usually when you release a track… it needs like a half-year or year maximum. Now, after five years, it...
After his induction into EDM.com‘s Class of 2022, LODATO is keeping his foot on the gas with “Dreamer,” teaming up with Janice Robinson to reimagine the 90’s classic. LODATO’s version of “Dreamer” beautifully pays homage to the original, which was recorded and released by Italian house music group Livin’ Joy in 1994. Robinson has lent her signature vocals, helping capture the nostalgia of “Dreamer” while providing a new-age dance feel. It’s ultimately an electrifying refresh, which moonlights as an ode to Robinson’s impact on dance music. “Growing up I loved the original ‘Dreamer’ from the ‘90s and always wanted to give it a fresh take,” LODATO said in a press st...
Global dance music powerhouse Spinnin’ Records is initiating key geographic investments to expand their footprint in the U.S., U.K., and China. The Dutch dance music brand, founded in 1999, is a familiar imprint to most fans in the space. In many respects, the breadth of the Spinnin’ catalogue has made the label an unofficial introductory gateway to electronic dance music. Artists such as Tiësto, The Chainsmokers, KSHMR, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, and hundreds of others have distributed their music via the fabled imprint. While the brand has grown to global recognition on the basis of their expansive catalogue, Spinnin’ has now announced their latest strategic efforts will bring a more localized approach to the way they promote and market future music.

Since first teasing his debut album in November, KSHMR has consistently drummed up hype about the record. The excitement continued with the release of the first single from the album produced alongside Karra, “The World We Left Behind.” His highly anticipated LP Harmonica Andromeda has finally arrived via Spinnin’ Records.

It wasn’t long, however, before the Dutch exec started plotting his return to the music business. “I didn’t want to start a label or a publishing company, for me that was not special enough,” he says. “So I looked around at what was going on on the horizon of the music industry.” What he saw was a fast-evolving digital market where independent artists struggle to get their songs heard amid all the noise — and where social media stars have the power to break an unknown track or artist worldwide, often overnight. The solution van Kooten came up with was Ledo, a global digital distribution platform that partners artists, producers and songwriters with social media influencers to enable both parties to reach new audiences through creative collaborations. The Amsterdam-based platform laun...
Last November, KSHMR first teased his forthcoming sophomore album, Harmonica Andromeda. Today, the first single from the record has arrived, “The World We Left Behind,” with KARRA. The Dharma Worldwide label head has cooked up yet another expertly executed worldly tune. KSHMR describes “The World We Left Behind” as “the best song [he has] ever made,” further elaborating that “it’s a bit Lion King, a bit Porter Robinson.” Shimmering synths join KARRA’s signature voice atop crawling percussion in “The World We Left Behind,” which cultivates a hopeful, dreamy feeling that should resonate with his avid fanbase. KSHMR tweeted about the album last week, stating that it will take listeners on a journey to various pl...
