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. Australian producer Luude has firmly established himself on the global stage with back-to-back hits like ‘Down Under’ and ‘Big City Life,’ which have sold millions of copies and earned multi-platinum certifications worldwide. His achievements include an ARIA award for Best Dance Release, a nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist award, “Best International Artist” at the 2022 Drum and Bass Awards, 3x BBC Radio 1 Hottest Records, and multiple platinum, gold, and silver certifications. Luude’s relentless touring and dynamic performances, including his recent sold out run with Chase & Status across Australia and New Zealand, have cemented his status as one of Australia’s most in-demand artists. Luude & Harry Bee’s new single ‘Fun In The Sun’ is out now on No Instruction. Follow No Instruction across socials for info on all upcoming shows and releases.

Dimension has released his new single, ‘Satellite’ featuring Alison Wonderland. Written and produced by Dimension in collaboration with dance music megastar Alison Wonderland and co-written by rising UK star Issey Cross, the track is now available worldwide. Of the single, Dimension says “Alison Wonderland was the only artist I wanted for this record, her voice is a perfect fit for the 90s-trance influence and it’s a true honour to have her feature. When we first met, there was instant chemistry. I remember encouraging her to go on a first date with a man who she is now engaged to and has children with! Releasing a track together is a beautiful full circle moment and we’re both in love with the track.” And Alison Wonderland says “Dimension and I met back in 2020, and we always talked about doing something creative together. We finally did it, I love this song, can’t wait to play it live and see people’s reactions. Dimension is a force to be reckoned with and I’m excited.” ‘Satellite’ is Dimension’s first new music of 2024 and follows his recent performances across the United States as part of the acclaimed, sold-out Worship North America tour and stand-out solo set at Ultra Music Festival. The run of shows sold over 24,000 tickets and saw Dimension share a bill with the likes of Sub Focus – who Dimension had a UK Top 30 single with on ‘Ready To Fly’, as well as the platinum-selling ‘Desire’. Dimension has solidified his position as one of the genre’s leading figures through relentless dedication to his craft, culminating in him being one of the spearheading figures of the genre’s recent resurgence in popularity both across Europe and North America. His distinctive songwriting and high-energy sound, mixed with a nuanced style and imagery has garnered him widespread acclaim and support from industry heavyweights including Dom Dolla, Tiesto, Skrillex, Armin van Buuren, John Summit and more. With a string of successful singles and collaborations as well as his chart-topping debut album ‘Organ’, Dimension has soared in recent years, culminating in sold-out headline shows at prestigious venues such as London’s Wembley Arena.
