It isn’t hard to believe that “Block Report Unfriend Unfollow” can easily become the next viral House track. Dance divo Michael M, known for his club hits, “Dear Diary”, “The Kids Don’t Know” and “House Music 101” returns with a comical read on our daily social ritual during the pandemic. I’m pretty sure most of you will agree that is almost therapeutic to stay away from toxic people. Actually, it seems Coronavirus brought out the worst in them.

The uncomfortable truth is that those ‘so-called’ friends in our inner circle or even relatives spark disputes with divisive rhetoric on media platforms. Of course, their hateful expressions only make things worst, and that’s exactly when “Block Report Unfriend Unfollow” gives you immediate relief. On the other hand, Michael M’s new clip is quite simple but it is also funny. Somehow, it incites you to create a TikTok dance challenge. Beyond the minimal beats, kicks and toms, I totally feel identified with his repeated command. Enjoy!

Music producer Relic took advantage of several days on lockdown at his home studio. Not for nothing, his entry into the Coronavirus songs’ canon is precisely entitled “Apocalypse”. This bass-heavy track has a relation to the initial idea that the outbreak of the pandemic almost resembles the end of the world in colloquial terms. Therefore, its sound design successfully conveys a sensation of chaos through Dubstep-esque beats plus crazy synth sounds. You can tell he dominates the frequency modulation techniques as his signature Bass House rhythm is engaging and pulsating.

Beyond his passion for music, Josh is an awarded film editor/director. Sooner or later, in 2021 you’ll be able to watch his indie action movie, Sierra Sisters: The Hunt for Blackbeards Treasure. So, this is a sign that his projects always go hand-in-hand with imagination. Of course, “Apocalypse” is not an exception. Furthermore, its energy-filled drops layered with wobble effects incorporate elements of Trap and even 808s.

Relic’s musical journey is derived about five years ago after visiting his first festival. In fact, one of his biggest goals is to break into the music scene in Las Vegas. Clearly, he isn’t afraid to dream big!

DØBER teamed up with his fellow Dutchman CHOCO for his hard-hitting latest track “Freaky”, and you’ll want to buckle up for this one. The single, which is part of DØBER’s “Twisted” EP, represents his new sound with an emphasis on electro house and tech influences. With its driving, percussive basslines, and grimy synths, “Freaky” is made for grooving on dark dance floors and turning up your night. No stranger to club music, the new track follows up his recent release “Tear the Roof,” another heavy cut that differed from his previous releases. DØBER has one of the more intense sounds on Protocol as they continuously expand and diversify their artist roster. CHOCO, privately a stuntman, also had successful releases on Spinnin’ Records and Armada Music as well as collaborations with Nevve, Angel Taylor, Julian Jordan, and Kriss Kross Amsterdam, and he makes his debut on Protocol with “Freaky.”

Nicky Romero and the Protocol crew can always be counted on for cutting-edge new music, melding a variety of genres for exciting and unexpected sounds. Their latest additions feel right at home with that mantra, bringing a fusion of tech-house and electro sound with plenty of grooves to the table. DØBER joins a full roster of talented producers such as Thomas Gold, Deniz Koyu, Marc Benjamin, Teamworx, Maximals, and more. The talented newcomer draws his inspiration from artists such as Dogblood, ZHU, and Gesaffelstein, promising plenty of dark, hard-hitting tunes to add to the label’s repertoire. Protocol’s mixture of veteran heavyweights and fresh new talent makes for some of the most exciting releases in the game, along with the unlimited potential for collaborations. We look forward to more releases from DØBER and the rest of the Protocol team coming soon!

Channeling the emotions of the open road and joys of exploring new destinations, Riot Ten teams up with Charly Jordan on the effervescent track “Wanna Go”. It leads off Riot Ten’s BLKMRKT project, which sees the bass producer take a deep foray into the world of house music.

This new collaboration is a testament to the versatility and creativity of the two producers, as they deliver breezy summertime vibes and infectious vocal melodies. Riot Ten’s heavy-hitting dubstep from his “Hype or Die” releases is nowhere to be found. Instead, the Texas-born producer continues to experiment with the house sounds he established earlier this year on “Lost Your Mind.” “Wanna Go” also serves as the second single ever from social media influencer and rising DJ/producer Charly Jordan. A few months ago, she officially entered the music industry via “Blackstrap Molasses,” which harmoniously fused pop and dance music. Check out what Charly and Riot Ten have to say about their unique collaboration below:

“Charly and I met via a mutual friend of ours. She thought we could create something cool and decided to make the introduction. Once I heard Charly’s vocals, I knew this had the potential to be a huge record. It’s honestly one of my favorite songs that I’ve worked on, and it’s so different from what I typically release. Can’t wait to hear the response!” – Riot Ten

“‘Wanna Go’ is a song that represents my never-ending desire to want to see new places. Traveling has been a passion of mine my entire life, and being able to put that into music with that tropical feel of house music was an amazing process. Having also listened to Riot Ten’s music for a very long time, I’m happy we were able to vibe and make this song together.” – Charly Jordan

Born and raised in El Paso, TX, Riot Ten exploded into the world of EDM at the young age of 22. Joining the Dim Mak Records family in 2017, with additional music out on Never Say Die, Insomniac, Bassrush and Excision’s “Rottun Records”, Riot Ten blasted off with four #1 top 100 dubstep singles and his music can be heard around the world from the likes of DJ Snake, Zeds Dead, The Chainsmokers, Excision and many more. The 2017 single “Fuck It” became a staple on The Chainsmokers’ “Memories Do Not Open” tour. This success helped pave the way for “Rail Breaker”, his global smash in 2017, to become one of the most played out dubstep songs of the last decade. The single continues to see support at nearly every major festival from the biggest names in dance music. Following the release of “Rail Breaker”, Riot Ten dropped his debut EP with Dim Mak called “Hype Or Die: The Dead” in 2018, which recorded a top 10 debut on the iTunes dance album charts, a feat seldom seen by an artist in the genre. He recorded another top 10 debut on the iTunes charts in 2019 with his debut album “Hype Or Die: Nightmares.” Outside of the music, Riot Ten has continued to record sell-out shows domestically and internationally, touring the infamous “Hype Or Die” brand for its 2nd straight year. He has also played EDC Las Vegas, Coachella, Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Zoo, EDC Mexico, Lost Lands, EDC Orlando, Global Dance Festival, Electric Forest, Bass Canyon, Imagine Music Festival and more.

American born female artist Charly Jordan brings her creative direction into house music, with her unique travel background and cultural accents felt through her style. Charly was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was surrounded by some of the best entertainment and music in the world. Growing up, she pursued a career in track and field, which later flipped into a successful modeling/ creative directing career, collectively gaining around 3 million followers across social media platforms at just 21 years old. Now stepping into singing and songwriting on her own tracks, after years of traveling around the world, her unique taste is a culmination of different house styles. With her first single now out “Blackstrap Molasses,” more can be expected from this new, young artist.

So, don’t put away your dancing shoes, this lockdown-inspired song titled “Freedom In Your House Arrest” is right for you. By all means, 2LD felt the need to highlight a retro 90s housey vibe. In addition, the project combines elements of Reggae in order to get an intense feeling of pure joy on this track.

Likewise, lyrics will have you philosophizing about the true meaning of freedom in relation to the outbreak of COVID-19. On a side note, those powerful vocals belong to David Sladek, while the talented NHOAH, known for his gold and platinum music awards, contributed to the production process. Clearly, together they’re spreading positivity and good vibes. Therefore, if clubs were open today, I think “Freedom In Your House Arrest” will blow the speakers no matter what.
