Back in June, Deniz Koyu released the easy summertime anthem “Next To You” and now he’s back to up the ante with the track’s official club mix. If the original was meant for listening to during breezy, poolside days with a cold drink in hand, the new club mix heats things up during balmy nights at beachside clubs while catching the eye of that attractive stranger. Koyu incorporates his signature Big Room sound with upbeat synths and some vocal distortion to the original’s emotive lyrics, introducing nighttime vibes to the carefree song. The original version of “Next To You” was the first of a two-part series, both of which tell a story in the same style of music, cover art, and music video. Whenever Deniz puts out new sounds, the world stops and listens, and we are confident that there’s more fresh music coming from him very soon!

Deniz Koyu is a dance music veteran who has helped to shape the landscape of progressive and electro house music as it is today with iconic club hits such as “Tung!”, “Bong” and many more. His recent work under KO:YU has included high-profile remixes of Alesso and Anitta’s “Is That For Me” and The Chainsmokers’ “Young.” He has evolved with the constantly changing landscape of electronic music, evidenced by his foray into indie-pop and house fusion with “Paradise” and the uplifting vocal house of “Lost Soul.” It follows Koyu’s prior releases “GO” on Spinnin’ Records, “Feel It” with Magnificence, and “Destiny” with Nicky Romero on Protocol. It’s always a treat when Deniz returns to the label, so keep an eye out for his next single.

R3HAB is never the type to shy away from a sonic adventure, and this time he’s done it again with a remake of “Party Girl”, StaySolidRocky‘s single turned viral hit via TikTok. While the original takes a mellow hip-hop approach, R3HAB ups the ante by infusing it with his signature high-energy electronic sound. The opening instrumental riff quickly progresses into a deep bassline complemented with upbeat, bouncy synths. The catchy lyrics of “Party Girl” are still present, though distorted and perfectly tuned to the new sound of the remake, which will make anyone want to dance. R3HAB previously put his own spin on “BAD!” by XXXTentacion last year, which saw the multi-talented producer dipping his toes into the rap/hip-hop world. He has also ventured into the pop and Latin world with the release of “Besame (I Need You)” with TINI and Reik recently, but he’s not slowing down just yet. Keep an eye out for the official announcement and more exciting music coming soon! In the meantime, vote for R3HAB in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs 2020 here.

“I haven’t done something like this in a while, and I must say it felt great working on this track. It is a different version with a different sound, but when you hear it, you will definitely recognize the touch of R3HAB.” – R3HAB on “Party Girl”

Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul – better known as R3HAB – has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the “future of the craft” by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he’s circuited the globe’s best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album “Trouble” through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music’s heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like “Lullaby” and “Hold On Tight,” while his sophomore album “The Wave,” revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB’s “All Around The World” with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. It was followed by “Flames,” R3HAB’s collaboration with ZAYN.

Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu‘s hit “Destiny” has received a very special remix from Dutch producer MOTi, and you’ll want to have this one on repeat. Romero and Koyu’s original is representative of their classic vocal progressive roots that made EDM a mainstay in music culture; in contrast, MOTi infuses his remix with a distinctively deep and groovy sound. As is fitting for an artist who has never been defined by genre molds, MOTi brings a myriad of different influences to his music, from hip-hop to trap to electro. The remix delivers strong, upbeat synths and a groovy bassline that makes for easy listening or moving on the dance floor. The remix of “Destiny” marks MOTi’s debut on Romero’s Protocol Recordings, where he becomes part of the family after a very successful career in both production and DJing.

Nicky Romero’s Protocol Recordings has quickly become a renowned, taste-making imprint with a diverse roster of artists who all have one thing in common – the ability to excellently produce forward-thinking electronic music. MOTi becomes the newest member of the crew with his remix of “Destiny,” though the Dutch DJ and producer has been making waves in the dance music world for the better part of the last decade. He has produced for hip-hop heavyweights like Ty Dolla $ign and Wizkid and has worked with some of the biggest names in dance music, including Tiësto, Major Lazer, Martin Garrix, R3HAB and more. MOTi’s platinum hit “Virus” with Martin Garrix has amassed over 150M streams, and his track “Boom” with Major Lazer currently counts at 190M streams and is part of Major Lazer’s legendary album “Peace Is the Mission.” His colorful career has seen him play some of the biggest festivals and clubs in the world, including Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Zoo, and more. Stay tuned for more from MOTi and the rest of the Protocol gang coming soon!

“Mi Amante” by Phantom Boy is amazingly danceable to say the very least. The Latin music industry is on the rise thanks to creative artists like Eddie González (real name). Of the tracks he has shared to date, you can tell he excels from songwriting to production. “Mi Amante”, which translates to “My Lover”, kicks off with a powerful blend of tropical rhythms like Mambo and Merengue.

Obviously, he also offers a new definition of Pop music in Spanish. Besides, the brand new single is a cover of  Justin Timberlake’s 2016 hit, “My Love”. The best part about it is that it was designed for the summer. So far, there are no complaints from the listeners, on the contrary, it’s nice to see all their positive feedback. “Mi Amante” was premiered for the very first time on radio stations in Spain and abroad. Get your dancing shoes on and have a good time!

Keep your LGBTQ playlist up-to-date with this new addition from N2BLÜ. Their latest single “NSA” could be described as an anthem that evokes liberation. The openly gay duo felt inspired by those people who sadly have to apologize for being themselves. Over time, vocalist Jonathan Arcenaux confesses he learned to improve his self-esteem and self-confidence in order to overcome a similar experience. Deep and meaningful lyrics are truly empowering. Likewise, there’s no doubt he poured out his heart vocally. I like the fact they keep their trademark Dance-Pop sound like in their previous singles “Electric Dreams” or “Again”. Echoing a vibrant and modern music style I would dare to say, “NSA” can also become transformative for many listeners out there. For sure, planet Earth needs more sensible artists like N2BLÜ. Stream in full via Spotify below.

Lyrics

If I could run to the edge of my mind
Past the point of no return
Just to rewind the oceans of time
All the mistakes and lessons I’ve learned
I don’t wanna be the one to always compromise I’m done with being someone with tears in my eyes I’m tired of regretting who I was before
Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Not all your scars are on the outside Some are tattooed on your soul They can be the hardest to hide When you let your heart unfold
I shouldn’t apologize for my existence
But it’s hard to reprogram my broken resistance I want to move on from who I was before
Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Is it enough for me just to say it out loud? Could it be that easy just to say that I’m proud? Wipe away all the lies that they preach
You’re not the one to blame!
Never be afraid of who you’re meant to be
And always know you are not your pain!
Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
No, I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Oh oh oh
I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Whoa
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Oh oh oh
Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore
