Krewella Drops New Troll Mix And Unveils New Song

The Iconic Duo Reunite For Their Reimagined Version Of Classic Party Anthem “Get Low.” 2x-GRAMMY-nominated artist and producer Steve Aoki joins forces with GRAMMY-award-winning rapper and producer Lil Jon on their new collaboration “Get Lower.” The single pays homage to Lil Jon’s 2003 dominating chart-topping club record “Get Low,” which charted at #1 on Billboard Hot Rap Songs and #1 on Billboard Rap Airplay, featuring Aoki’s brand new electro-driven production and with new original recorded vocals by Lil Jon. “Get Lower” marks the fourth official collaboration between Steve Aoki and Lil Jon, dating back to their first record together “Turbulence,” which became a nightclub smash and a sports event staple. The two artists share a decades-long friendship and have performed all over the world together, including stages in Japan, at SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, and most recently, the mainstage at Tomorrowland 2023. Their adventures together in the studio and rocking global stages are captured in the brand new music video for “Get Lower,” out today. “Jon and I have been friends for years, and whenever we get together on a track, it’s a party. When we performed at Tomorrowland last year, the energy was off the charts, and we knew we had to create another festival anthem. ‘Get Low’ is one of the most hype tracks of all time, and it’s an honor to work with Jon to bring it back for the next generation.” – Steve Aoki “It’s crazy that Steve reached out to me about this song, especially considering it’s the 20th anniversary of the track this year! I’m grateful for our friendship over the years, and there’s no better way to honor this milestone for ‘Get Low.’” – Lil Jon “Get Lower” is Steve Aoki’s first single of 2024. The new release follows Aoki’s 8th studio LP HiROQUEST 2: Double Helix, which includes collaborations “Locked Up” with Akon, “Invitame A Un Cafe” with Ángela Aguilar, and “Us” featuring ERNEST. Steve Aoki has also remixed the NFL on CBS Theme song, which fans can hear throughout the Super Bowl this weekend. “Get Lower” follows Lil Jon’s recent singles “Bombón” with Daddy Yankee and El Alfa, “Let’s Get Crazy” with Don Omar “JUMPIN” with Pitbull, and “Till The Club Close” with Tiffany Haddish, and Fivio Foreign. The new track arrives nearly twenty years after Lil Jon changed the face of hip-hop and global music culture by releasing “Get Low.” “Get Low” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is recognized as a pivotal track for propelling crunk music into the mainstream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwfU8p6NFfE

In Hardwell’s own words, “Although my new sound is much harder-edged and techier, I still love the beauty of vocal-based electronic music. Every genre, from house music and trance to electro and techno, has given the dancefloor magical moments through big vocal tracks. That feeling a big vocal song has on a festival crowd is hard to describe, but when that moment comes, it’s intoxicating.” The collaboration with AZTECK was a natural choice for Hardwell, given their previous work together. Recognized for his exceptional production skills and keen ear for captivating toplines, AZTECK’s recent successful releases attest to his talent. Hardwell shares his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Azteck and I have known each other for a while, having previously worked together on music. As his recent run of form proves, he’s a great producer with a fantastic ear for a topline. So, I knew a big vocal collab with Azteck would be a fire release for the summer. But the track needed a specific type of voice to make it work, and the unique raspy quality of Alex’s voice made her the perfect fit for the distorted topline on ‘Anybody Out There’.” ‘Anybody Out There’ holds a special significance for Hardwell as it represents his desire to infuse his new style into a vocal-driven anthem that combines various elements of his sound to create a captivating hybrid track. Reflecting on the process, he explains, “This track is special to me because I’d been longing to repurpose my new style into a vocal-driven anthem that blended other elements of my sound to create a sort of hybrid track. It needed the right emotion in the track, the right chords, and perfect balance in arrangement to fit the current sound.” With its fusion of cutting-edge electronic music and infectious vocals, ‘Anybody Out There’ promises an unparalleled audio experience that pushes the boundaries of live performance. Hardwell’s creative vision, combined with the talents of AZTECK and Alex Hepburn, guarantees an unforgettable musical journey for listeners. ‘Anybody Out There’ signifies Hardwell’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his willingness to experiment and explore new sonic territories while staying true to his core essence. Prepare to be captivated by this edgy vocal anthem that seamlessly blends hard-hitting production and melodic hooks.

Australian breakout drum and bass producer Luude today announces the launch of his new imprint No Instruction in partnership with his long standing management company Cloak, distributed by Virgin Music. The new imprint is about creating legitimate moments for artists using the live platform and global network of the team. Luude shares “we want to throw good parties, put out records we like from people we like and we want to have a good crack at doing all those things as best and big as possible.”  To mark the debut, No Instruction presents its first release, ‘Fun In The Sun,’ by Luude & Perth based producer Harry Bee. The left field club heater has quickly become one of Luude’s most requested songs of the year, with videos of the record posted across ID pages amassing over 3 million views and generating widespread anticipation. The track perfectly encapsulates the essence of No Instruction, it’s a bit weird and made for the dancefloor. Sharing his excitement about the release and the launch of the label, Luude shares “I’m really happy to be launching this imprint with a collab featuring one of my best mates from Australia – having an outlet to do things like this is sick. We’ve got some mental records coming from some of my favourite producers,  some parties around the world, we’re doing vinyl and just going back to doing things for the club, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.” Cloak, the management team behind No Instruction, emphasises the label’s mission to embrace creativity and innovation, “people told us this was a stupid idea, launching a new imprint by releasing a collab with one of Luude’s mates from back home – with some pretty high-profile collaborations that could have been first. But being able to do things like this is what this label is about. The fact that it’s been one of the most requested tunes of the year for Luude is testament to the fact that buzzing records can come from anywhere.” In addition to its innovative approach to music, No Instruction will launch with a series of underground parties across the UK, Europe and Australia throughout 2024. The inaugural event, a secret pop up party at a very coveted London location, will kick off on July 31st, featuring performances by Luude, Bushbaby, Efan, Willo and Denham Audio.

Cercle Odyssey to Offer a No-Phone Experience for Deeper Audience Connection The esteemed Parisian production company and event organizer, Cercle, is set to unveil an innovative concert series under the title “Cercle Odyssey.” Imagine entering a vast concert arena where you are encircled by enormous screens. These screens, towering up to 40 feet high and stretching as far as 180 feet, envelop the audience with high-definition visuals that harmonize seamlessly with the music. This setup is designed to make attendees feel as though they are part of the performance, rather than mere spectators. To enhance audience engagement and foster genuine connections, Cercle Odyssey will implement a strict no-phone policy. This decision aligns with a growing movement within the electronic dance music community, where many prominent artists and organizations are advocating for increased presence and interaction during live events. Scheduled to debut in 2025, Cercle Odyssey aims to bring its unique, immersive experience to dance music enthusiasts worldwide. According to Billboard, this 360° spectacle promises to draw fans closer to the distinctive experiences that Cercle is known for offering. “My current obsession is to create the shortest connection between the music played by the artist, the video narrative that we will present live on the screens, and the audience’s emotions,” said Derek Barbolla, Founder of Cercle. “I want to connect these three things together at the deepest level and I believe this is still underdeveloped in the entertainment industry. If, by the end of a Cercle Odyssey show, I see people on the dance floor literally moved to tears, then I will consider it a success.” For more information about Cercle Odyssey, watch the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMoaFnrCQQA
