Nicky Romero Returns With “The Moment (Novell)”

Nicky Romero kicks off the summer with “The Moment”, a massive and uplifting vocal anthem destined to become a mainstage fix at festivals around the world. The impeccable orchestral breakdown is layered with piano chords, sublime strings, and uplifting vocals that Nicky utilizes to create a stirringly dramatic effect. ”The Moment” is also laced with spiraling synths and a bouncing bassline that enhances the euphoric melody of the track.

Nicky is marking a musical shift with the release of “The Moment”, in a way returning to his roots with more vocal driven songs, but also embracing a newer sound and production style that will unfold in the coming months. 2016 is undoubtedly shaping up to be a transformative year for Nicky’s music, and if “The Moment” is a preview of what’s to come there’s certainly reason to be excited about the future.

“The Moment” is the first release for Nicky Romero on the storied Los Angeles based Thrive Music. A partnership that will see the Dutch megastar focusing much more in the North American market from a creative standpoint.

Look for Nicky Romero on the road this summer playing almost every major festival around the world, as well as with his Protocol Recordings ‘Get Connected’ tour.

Tiësto & John Legend Release New Single 'Summer Nights'

Today, DJ/producer and dance music icon, Tiësto, releases his new collaborative single ‘Summer Nights’ featuring Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, John Legend. The track is available now on Spotify, iTunes and across streaming platforms. 

‘Summer Nights’ represents the first time the duo has teamed up since the release of the Grammy award winning hit remix of, ‘All Of Me,’ in 2014. Together, John and Tiësto worked to create a track that stays true to John’s sensibilities as a live performer but that also incorporates the undeniable dance music energy that Tiësto is known for. 

“I was really excited to work with John again following the huge success we had with my remix of ‘All Of Me,’” said Tiësto. “For ‘Summer Nights,’ we wanted to make a record that mixed the energy from my club tracks with his amazing soulful take on pop music and I’m really happy with the result. This record is definitely a bit of a musical departure for me but it was important to us that the end result really emphasize John’s funky soul vibe.”

The result is an irresistible summer jam that is as melodic as it is ebullient. Tiësto has created a fun, layered anthem that perfectly complements John’s soulful vocals, his voice taking center stage as he croons about making his summer nights last forever with his special someone.

Seven Lions & Ricky Mears remix "Coming Home” in new festival mix

Earlier this year, Seven Lions released the acoustic track “Coming Home” on his Creation EP, a standout for the electronic producer as he continues to prove his prowess over multiple genres of music.  Always dynamic, Seven Lions has now teamed up with Ricky Mears to create a festival mix of “Coming Home” that retains the integrity of the original version but is completely at home on the festival stage - and the dance floor. Seven Lions on the mix: "I wanted to add Coming Home into my sets so I decided we really needed a festival version to bring it into the realm of my shows. I think it keeps the acoustic vibes of the original but definitely makes it more friendly for the dance floor. Ricky came up with some great chords and it was a fun song to hype up into a festival mix.”

The unique style of Ricky Mears has already earned him collaborations with stars like Beyonce and DJ Mustard, and now he lent his signature touch to “Coming Home.”  Says Myers, "I've been a fan of Seven Lions for so long, working with him has been surreal. I can't wait to see what people think about this record!”

MORTEN Brings the Heat With “FIYAA”

Heating it up from his native Denmark, MORTEN’s latest delivery “FIYAA” is a surefire sizzler. The prog & electro house favorite bathes the track in a bass house marinade before igniting it in flames with his signature big room sound. The single marks MORTEN’s return to Dim Mak since his 2015 anthem “Ukali” set the world aflame. The tenacious track garnered A-list support across the globe, including David Guetta, Sidney Sampson, Dimitry Vegas and Like Mike, and R3hab.
 
“FIYAA” continues MORTEN’s monumentous 2016. He kicked off the year releasing “Beautiful Heartbeat,” on Aviici’s PRMD label. The track racked up over 10 million collective streams, with official remixes from Aviici, Deorro, and RAC. During Miami’s Ultra Music Festival, MORTEN premiered “Body Down (Inspector Gadget),” a playful take on Inspector Gadget’s theme song. Dancing Astronaut called the festival anthem “Unapologetically fun,” and exclaimed that MORTEN’s, “…Not only atop the big room game right now, but using a variety of crossover and club-favoring material to dominate the electronic landscape in 2016.”
 
Through contagious originals and powerful remixes, MORTEN continues to change the game. His official remix of David Guetta’s “What I Did For Love (Feat Emeli Sandé)” flips the original into a vibrant club-oriented house heater. The bootleg transformation of Adele’s “Hello” gained airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Sirius XM’s BPM, while fans at EDM.com voted MORTEN’s rendition the best of the remixes thus far. His live show is as equally compelling as his production chops, playing to large crowds at Tomorrowland, Life In Color, and Ushuaïa. Make sure to catch MORTEN on the road this summer as all signs point to him remaining a force to be reckoned with on the global dance circuit.
