Souza Brings The Vibes Of The Lost Remains Of Atlantis To EDM
Hot New Single “Come Back to You” feat. Thomas Daniel
Azores Islands are one of the World’s Most Unique Travel Destinations according to Forbes Magazine, and the hometown of the rising EDM DJ Souza. Many believes in Azores you can find the lost remains of Atlantis, all that vibe and all the mist of the volcanic activity inspired Souza to release his hot new single “Come Back to You” with the North American singer Thomas Daniel.
The recordings and production of “Come Back to You” was made between Azores and the United Sates. The result got Souza very happy with his track and he said: “The track was written thinking of the amazing Azores Islands in the middle of Atlantic Ocean and also the feeling of missing this land when you have to fly out. The lyrics reflects exactly that and also Thomas Daniel delivered an awesome performance”.
Souza has been around since 2011 and for the last six years Souza has been DJing and honing in on his craft, taking audio engineering courses in Lisbon and in Amsterdam at SAE Institute. Souza produces an array of genres within EDM, making him a multi-talented and coveted DJ in the Azores Islands where he resides. All his work was recognized recently by his homeland City Hall Mayor, and to Souza was granted the Medal of Honor in the category of Youth and Culture.
Unlike many DJs in this day and age, he prides himself on making his fans feel welcome in his live sets. Playing in festivals and clubs around Portugal, The Netherlands and Spain, he had already opened for Top 100 DJMag dj’s like Porter Robinson, Wolfpack or Diego Miranda.

Danish export Snavs teamed up with up-and-comer John Alto, also hailing from Denmark, for their new track “Headlights,” a dark Progressive House gem with a strong vocal element. The new single immediately captivates with suspenseful, emotive female vocals cocooned in its cinematic melodies, from which a euphonious and driving bassline blossoms and undulates.
The combination of dynamic and deep sonic production makes “Headlights” suitable for singalongs during cathartic moments or getting down on the dancefloor. Its versatility is a representation of both Snavs’s and Alto’s dynamic styles, which have ranged from Alt-Rock to heavy Bass and everything in between. “Headlights” is out now on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records.
“The track was inspired by the blending of two different music styles, with the heavier bass line and club rhythm, with the euphoric atmosphere with grand and epic melodies, perfect for anthems and large stages. The vocals play a massive part in the completion of the track, with some ear-catching lyrics that are great to sing along to. The song is about a relationship, metaphorically explained through driving at night.” — Snavs & John Alto

Yves V returns to CONTROVERSIA for his 5th single on Alok’s label and the 2nd one produced with his fellow Belgian artist Sem Thomasson. Their new release – “Sound Of A Beating Heart,” is a melodic Progressive House record that has both emotive and dancefloor elements. Opening with organic melodies, the first half of the track is haunting and minimal, with soulful vocals taking center stage. Yves and Sem up the ante in the latter part, incorporating deep and rhythmic melodies with a downtempo bassline. The song’s lyrics and melody are written by Nathan Nicholson of The Boxer Rebellion band, who as a songwriter, has also written for the likes of Kygo, Gryffin, Calum Scott, Claptone, Tinlicker, KC Lights, Hayden James and more. Yves V and Sem Thomasson previously worked together on “On Top Of The World,” which was released in 2016 on Spinnin’ Records. With “Sound Of A Beating Heart” coming out in 2023, it proves that sometimes studio chemistry only gets better in time.
“We really wanted to create something that would work production-wise in both a club and for home listening. It’s a deep track that still has these light elements to it, the topline expressing something that is quite moving and relatable, yet the progressive and higher BPM beats across the second half make it something that – we hope – the partiers will love too.” — Yves V & Sem Thomasson
