The Seven Lions: 1999 EP is melodic dance veteran Seven Lions‘ first official full foray into trance, seeing him remix some of the biggest hits in his catalog and modern popular dance music. Spread across four tracks, the EP includes updated 2021 flips of “Worlds Apart”, one of his breakout major label tracks, the classic festival singalong anthem “Rush Over Me”, a Seven Lions classic 2012 “Days To Come” and his trance collab on Anjunabeats with Jason Ross “Higher Love”.

Seven Lions is no stranger to the trance world, having collaborated with acts like Above & Beyond and Jason Ross, headlining festivals like Dreamstate SoCal and events including ABGT 250 at the Gorge, and leading the scene in bridging the sonic gap between the worlds of trance and dubstep.

Producer Seven Lions has never had a problem breaking rules and transcending musical boundaries to satisfy his creative vision. Catching his break after winning a Beatport remix contest in 2012 with his dubstep-focused version of Above & Beyond’s “You Got to Go”, Seven Lions, born Jeff Montalvo, garnered support from the likes of Anjunabeats, Casablanca Records, OWSLA, Viper Recordings, Republic Records, and Monstercat over the past eight years. After years of floating around from labels, Seven Lions compiled his own label in 2018 called Ophelia Records. Since its emergence, the melodic bass label has made its imprint being
voted the Best Label of 2019 by r/edm and hosting festival stage takeovers across the country.

Putting sheer technical production prowess to work in soulful, deep, hybridized creations all distinctly his own, the multi-talented musician is single-handedly changing the sonic landscape for future generations to come by bridging the gap between the soaring, ethereal vibe of trance and intensely adrenalizing bass music.

His productions have seen stages at world-renowned festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival (New York and Las Vegas), Electric Forest, Electric Zoo, South by Southwest, and HARD.

Out now on all popular steaming platforms, get your first listen of the highly anticipated 1999 EP by Seven Lions below!

      Sometimes you can be having too much fun! ‘Chapter One’ of Cosmic Gate’s ‘MOSAIIK’ album series touched off a post-lockdown tour, bigger and more extensive than anyone (not least Nic & Bossi!) could’ve imagined.

Promise is a promise is a promise though and the GRAMMY-nominated act are delighted to start the new year with the announcement of the now-imminent arrival of ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’. March 3 isn’t that far away, but it’ll seem much closer still when you hear what Nic & Bossi have in store for the interim! First out the ‘Cosmic Gate’s gate is ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’s teaser trailer, which is online now. Through it, Cosmic Gate revealed that ‘MOSAIIK’ will spread its format wings to include, not just digital and streaming versions, but also a double CD and a limited-edition double vinyl (naturally including both Chapters). You can pre-save/order here now. Next, you’ll need to put a big save-the-date mark in the calendar for Feb 15, as Nic & Bossi are set to perform another of their acclaimed Livestreams. This time their two-hour set will be coming from Ibiza, where – backdropped by the magnetising sight (and just plain magnetic!) Es Vedra isle, the boys will be premiering much of the previously unheard music from ‘Chapter Two’.

    • Pretty Lights Announces Return After 5-Year Hiatus pretty-lights-2023-oz-edm-1

      Five years since the iconic producer’s last performance, Pretty Lights announces his highly anticipated return to music. Renowned electronic artist Pretty Lights has made a comeback after an extended hiatus of almost five years, marked by a dearth of public appearances and musical releases. The DJ and producer, who gained significant traction in the festival circuit of the 2010s with chart-toppers such as “Finally Moving” and “Rainbows and Waterfalls,” has not performed live since 2018 and has not produced any new music since 2017. On Tuesday, April 4, the artist resurfaced on social media to disclose the Soundship Spacesystem Tour and convey a fresh message to his admirers. “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time and am immensely grateful to be healthy and happy and surrounded by amazing people,” said Pretty Lights (real name Derek Vincent Smith). “I feel recharged and more ready than ever to launch a new vision of PL music and live events. Can’t wait to share everything that’s coming. And fam, seriously, thank you so much for your endless love and support. Thank you for all the positive energy while I took time to focus mine.  It’s a new dawn and I can’t wait to see you all again shining bright. lfggggggg.” The Soundship Spacesystem Tour, headlined by Pretty Lights, is set to cover nine destinations across North America, including Denver, Lake Dillon, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Pelham, San Francisco, and New Orleans. The itinerary for the tour is yet to be fully disclosed, with the exception of The Caverns in Pelham, Tenn. The tour will consist of 27 shows, with multiple performances by Pretty Lights in each of the nine cities. Additionally, Pretty Lights has been announced as one of the headliners for the upcoming Suwannee Hulaween, a three-day music festival at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Florida scheduled for October 26-29. Although not listed as part of the tour, this event will feature the artist’s performance. In a separate announcement, it was revealed that Pretty Lights will also headline the inaugural Cascade Equinox festival taking place in Redmond, Ore. this September. Produced by the team behind the renowned Gem & Jam festival in Arizona, the new event promises to be another remarkable addition to the artist’s itinerary. Incorporating fresh elements to his performances, Pretty Lights will present two new types of shows during his Soundship Spacesystem Tour: Pretty Lights in Dub and The Fantastic Pretty Lights. The latter is anticipated to be a collaborative effort with long-time friend Michal Menert and The Pretty Fantastics. A new, yet-to-be-titled track that appears to reflect his re-entry into the industry, was performed by Pretty Lights in the tour announcement video. The lyrics state: “I’ll fly a starship across the universe tonight/ And when I reach the other side/ I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if I can/ Perhaps I may become a pretty light again/ Or I may simply be a single drop of rain/ But I will remain/ And I’ll be back again.” The track is available to listen to below. Following his last live appearance at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2018, where he headlined the venue with his live band over two sold-out nights, Pretty Lights, whose real name is Derek Vincent Smith, retreated from the industry without any formal explanation. He erased his social media presence and began an unannounced hiatus, leaving his dedicated fan base in suspense.
