Marc Volt brings a spark to the house scene that his name demands, lighting up playlists and sets belonging to Danny Howard, Hannah Wants, Camelphat, Solomun, Riva Starr and Joris Voorn: a star selection of those hyping the Amsterdam-based producer’s sound. The Toolroom, Stereo Productions and Snatch! labels, and Mysteryland, Promised Land and ADE live stages, lead the list of outfits Volt has sent his electric sound through, and Volt riding with Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano saw their ‘In My Mind’ collaboration become a Spotify sensation, totalling over a million streams and counting.

For all the feels and freedom of house music, Volt and Divine ask that you look no further.

The ladies of Krewella make a strong return to the scene with their new original release – “Never Been Hurt,” in collaboration with the Asian-American duo BEAUZ. The sisters take an exploratory approach to their traditionally hard-hitting sound with a pop and deep house style on the track, which begins with a groovy and yet grimy bassline reminiscent of UK garage sounds. The subtler melodies let the song’s vocals shine through as Krewella brings their A-game with sultry lyrics and a distorted vocal chorus. Krewella’s previous independent single was “Rewind” with Yellow Claw in July of 2020, though they also collaborated with Illenium and SLANDER on “Lay It Down” as a part of Illenium’s album. The release of “Never Been Hurt” lets us also assume that more new music will be released in the coming months. Check out what both artists have to say about this emotive, late-night friendly track:
“The inspiration of ‘Never Been Hurt’ comes from the feeling of the body and heart slowly opening its doors again after being calloused by the pain of love. Surrendering to intimacy is a leap of faith, and in a way, memories of past loss or trauma become erased when we are ready to experience love again in its pure innocence. We wrote the song a few years ago and have been waiting for the right vibe to bring the song to the finish line. As sisters, we found it sweet to be collaborating with brothers Bernie and Johan Yang, and despite being confined to the internet during the pandemic, we managed to have a seamless flow of sending versions of the song back and forth.” – Krewella
“Krewella has been one of our favorite artists that were responsible for inspiring us to make music. It’s so cool to work with the sisters since we are a brother duo. When we received ‘Never Been Hurt’ from the girls, its dark and contemporary style, along with its story, immediately resonated with us. After several back and forths, we were able to come up with an edgy vocal chop lead complemented by an infectious bassline, as well as contributing our own vocals into this dream collaboration. We absolutely can’t wait to perform this gem along with the girls on stage when we return to the US.” – Beauz
Sisters Jahan and Yasmine exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut self-released EP “Play Hard,” which has now been streamed almost 150M times on Spotify alone; additionally, their single “Alive” from the EP has been certified Platinum. Since then, the duo has made a name for themselves and their hard-hitting yet melodic and vocal-driven sound through releases like “Live for the Night,” “Enjoy the Ride,” and more. In 2016, Krewella was awarded a coveted place on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list. They have performed at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and many others, in addition to their own headlining tours. As one of the main elements of the Krewella canon, the group’s onstage performances serve as the live extension of their music and art. Incorporating a multitude of audiovisual elements together with Jahan and Yasmine’s live vocals and powerful onstage energy.
American duo BEAUZ composed of Bernie and Johan is a group of versatile, classy rockstars who decide their own destiny. Proving themselves to be virtuosos of music production, they quickly caught attention from top power players in the industry, landing them multiple official remixes. Most notably, their “Happy Now” remix has become a staple in Zedd’s DJ sets. In 2019, BEAUZ released the genre-bending Count The Hours with Armada, which became viral on Douyin and kicked off the duo’s first international tour spanning across North America and Asia. BEAUZ then collaborated with Spinnin’ Records to release Feel The Light as the first record on the new imprint Spinnin’ Asia, positioning the duo as the godfathers of Psypop. In 2020, BEAUZ hosted the avant-garde Blockeley festival featuring a star-studded lineup on Minecraft in collaboration with UC Berkeley and their management, KEYTEM. They released their first EP “BEAUZWORLD Vol. 1,” kicking off the BEAUZ IMPERIAL TOUR, stunting the world as the only international artists to deliver world class performances during the pandemic. Synonymous with a unique music brand and eluding an impeccable flair in everything they do, BEAUZ will not stop until they sit on the throne.

ENGLISH:
New Release: Chris Gerber heralds a post-pandemic rave age.
“CU at the Venue” a phrase we haven’t been able to say for a too long time was packed by Chris Gerber into a 2 track maxi single to herald the walk into the clubs post corona disaster. After a long break from releasing, Chris tweaked his synths and tried his hand at various versions of “CU at the Venue”. The file Final_version_85_finafinal then embodied the two tracks “CU” and “At the Venue”. Alongside tender vocals from Fabian Baumert, a close friend of Chris’, the release reels out as an ode to pioneering UK clubs that played a major role in shaping electronic music.
The record kicks off pretty busy as different worlds collide in “CU”. In the intro you are greeted by a breakbeat, which develops into a straight four on the floor rhythm with iconic 909 drums. Vocal chops, bongos and recorded leads straight from a 1984 Casio synth take you back to an age when the internet still made dial-up noises before you could access colourful websites through Netscape. A breakdown in the center of the track presents the soft and almost eerie vocals in their full splendour. With renewed breakbeats and an aggressive synth bass, you find yourself in a call and response thunderstorm in combination with the vocal line.
“At the Venue” takes over the second half of the maxi single introducing a dry breakbeat from second 1 which meets hard 808 basses. With a nod to “CU”, hazy Trance pads then take you on a journey through a jungle of vocal chops and before you realise it, you end up back at the starting point of the track – a self-contained cycle.
“CU at the Venue” embodies the debut of Chris Gerber’s newly established label “Computer Toys”and can be heard worldwide starting 5th November 2021. Who knows, maybe we will see each other on the dance floor soon.
About Chris Gerber
Complex, cohesive, rough and atmospheric at the same time – to get to the bottom of Electronica producer Chris Gerber’s sound, these terms only scratch the surface. As a teenager, the Hanover native couldn’t find any bands in his scene, that he fit into, so he decided to take his musical visions into his own hands with his guitar and a loop pedal. With the discovery of Ableton Live, the wonderful world of electronic music was revealed to him. So Chris dove further into the playground of synths and drum machines, forgetting more and more about his guitar. With inspirations and role models like Jamie XX, Bicep and Denis Sulta, he creates his version of contemporary Electronica, with strong influences from the 1990s and early 2000s. Breakbeats, 909 hits and hard 808 basses, that are combined with warm synth pads and almost cheesy Casio-synth leads are part of Chris Gerber’s agenda. His productions are physically thrilling but emotively driven, while his approach is rather playful than serious. Despite Gerber’s musical complexity, you always intuitively know where the journey is going. The new maxi single “CU at the Venue” embodies the debut of his newly established label “Computer Toys” – satisfaction guaranteed.
DEUTSCH:
Produzent Chris Gerber feiert Label-Kick-Off mit Maxi-Single
“CU at the Venue” – Einen Satz, den wir schon zu lange nicht mehr sagen konnten, verpackte Chris Gerber in eine 2-Track Maxi Single, um den Gang in die Clubs Post-Corona-Disaster einzuläuten. Nach einer längeren Veröffentlichungspause, schraubte Chris an den verschiedensten Versionen von “CU at the Venue” bis die Datei “Final_version_85_finafinal” schlussendlich die beiden Nummern “CU” und “At the Venue”enthielt. Neben Vocals von Fabian Baumert, einem engen Freund von Chris, ist das Release eine Ode an die UK Clubs, die für die Entwicklung der Rave-Szene entscheidend waren.
Zu Beginn der Maxi-Single treffen in “CU” verschiedene Welten aufeinander. Das Intro wird durch einen Breakbeat getragen, welcher sich dann zu einem straffen Four on the Floor Beat mit ikonischen 909 Drums entwickelt. Vocal Chops, Bongos und eingespielte Leads, direkt von einem 1984 Casio Synth, versetzen einen in das Zeitalter, als das Internet noch Dial-Up Geräusche von sich gab, bevor man über Netscape bunte Webseiten besuchen konnte. Ein Breakdown in der Mitte des Tracks präsentiert die sanften und schon fast gespenstischen Vocals in ihrer vollen Pracht. Ohne Vorwarnung befindet man sich in einem spannungsgeladenen Call and Response Gewitter zwischen den zarten Vocals und einem aggressivem Synth-Bass.
“At the Venue” übernimmt die zweite Hälfte der Maxi-Single mit einem trockenen Breakbeat und harten 808 Bässen. Mit einer Referenz zu “CU”, begleiten einen trancy Flächen auf einer Reise durch einen Dschungel von Vocal Chops und bevor man es realisiert, endet man wieder am Beginn des Tracks – ein in sich geschlossener Kreis.
“CU at the Venue” ist das Debut von Chris Gerbers neuen Labels “Computer Toys” und kann ab dem 5. November 2021 weltweit gehört werden. Und wer weiß, vielleicht sieht man sich ja bald auf der Tanzfläche.
Über Chris Gerber
Komplex, rau und zugleich atmosphärisch – so könnte man Sound des Electronica Produzenten Chris Gerber umreißen. Als Jugendlicher fand der Hannoveraner keine passenden Bands in seiner Szene, weshalb er sich entschied seine musikalischen Visionen mit der Gitarre und einem Loop-Pedal selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Durch die Entdeckung von Ableton Live offenbarte sich ihm die wundervolle Welt der elektronischen Musik. So tauchte Chris immer tiefer in den Spielplatz von Synthesizern und Drum Machines ein, wodurch seine Gitarre immer weiter in den Hintergrund rückte. Mit Inspirationen und Vorbildern wie Jamie XX, Bicep und Denis Sulta kreiert er seine Variante zeitgenössischer Electronica-Musik mit starken Einflüssen aus den 90ern und frühen 2000ern. Breakbeats, 909 Hits und harte 808 Bässe, kombiniert mit warmen Synth-Pads und schon beinahe kitschigen Synth-Leads vom Casio Keyboard, sind bei Chris Gerber Programm. Seine Produktionen sind mitreißend und emotional zugleich. Seine neue Maxi-Single “CU at the Venue” ist das Debüt seines brandneuen Labels “Computer Toys” – satisfaction guaranteed
“Club house with that EDM flare. Big build ups and applicable arpeggiator slices of the soundscape. We drift rapidly into the outer atmosphere of club space downtown Miami, as the euphoria rushes out senses and takes us deeper within. ”

Nicky Romero takes it back to the "Generation 303" roots with his newest track of meaningful title "Acid Is My DNA," a hard-hitting bomb that calls for late-night dance floors. True to form, Romero creates a high-energy and dance-worthy sound with a killer combination of driving basslines and intense buildups, which feature laser samples, and deep, rhythmic drops. The veteran producer and Protocol label head's love of acid-influenced music started way back in 2012 with "Generation 303" on Musical Freedom and continued with "Ready 2 Rumble," and more throughout his career. Following his progressive vocal production "Love Me Better," dance/pop single "Okay" with MARF & Wulf and underground-style "Awakening" as Monocule, "Acid Is My DNA" is yet another example of Nicky Romero's stellar ability to successfully experiment with different sounds.
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as "Legacy" with Krewella and the #1 single "I Could Be The One" with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label's roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve, and with his annual "Nicky Romero & Friends" ADE showcase and the launch of Monocule alter-ego, he keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.
