Hailing from the hometown of House, Chicago’s John Summit has quickly shot to the upper echelons of dance music and now makes his debut on FFRR with his highly anticipated track, ‘Human’.
“Human is easily my most anticipated single to date. This record has taken months to perfect, and with it having over 100 different elements, my laptop has crashed many times during the process haha.” - John Summit

When I first played this track at Club Space in Miami (even when it was just an early version) the reaction was insane, and I couldn’t believe it. People have been begging for this record ever since and I can’t wait to release it!” - John Summit

Heavyweight producer Afrojack and talented newcomers Black V Neck join the ranks of MDLBEAST Records with "To The Floor," a house remake of a hip-hop classic. If you ever went to a house party or club in the 2010s, chances are you heard Waka Flocka Flame and Roscoe Dash's "No Hands." Fast forward a decade, and it's been given a different type of dance-worthy twist; Afrojack and Black V Neck lean heavily into tech house sound with minimal, driving basslines and complementary kickdrums, making a recipe for the perfect late-night underground dancefloor killer. Afrojack recently released "My Sound" with SLVR and Chico Rose, while Black V Neck has just dropped "More" with KrazySucio on Claude VonStroke's infamous DIRTYBIRD. "To The Floor" is the latest in a hot streak for MDLBEAST, which has included Steve Aoki's "Aurora" (as his Ninja Attack project) in addition to Salvatore Ganacci's "Fight Dirty," Cosmicat's "Toxic Romance," Butch's "Testarossa" and R3HAB, Skytech & Fafaq's "Sorry I Missed Your Call."
As one of the most innovative and sought-after artists, Grammy Award-winning producer and DJ Afrojack continues to shatter boundaries that push music in bold new directions. Since making his breakthrough with the multi-platinum-selling single "Take Over Control," the Dutch-born musician has lent his production skills to tracks that bend genres and laid the foundation for major hits for artists such as Beyoncé, Pitbull, Will.i.am, and more. In the last few years, Afrojack was named one of the 50 Most Important People in EDM by Rolling Stone and placed on the Forbes "30 Under 30" music list. In 2010, he was one of the first DJs to secure a Las Vegas residency and continues to entertain global audiences as a headlining resident artist for the Hakkasan group. Afrojack travels the world performing at the biggest clubs/festivals while producing new music with his label Wall Recordings. His most recent worldwide hits such as "Anywhere With You" together with Lucas & Steve and DubVision, "We Got That Cool" with Yves V and Icona Pop, "1234" with Fedde Le Grand featuring MC Ambush add to an impressive repertoire spanning a decade as a global performer and multi-platinum selling artist. One milestone in 2021 was when "HERO" together with David Guetta reached number 1 on the US dance radio chart through amassing an impressive over 40M streams to date.
MDLBEAST is the Middle East's most influential brand that is rapidly evolving. MDLBEAST Records marks another milestone on the company's journey that allows a further cultural exchange between local Middle Eastern artists, global superstars, and audiences around the world. MDLBEAST's game-changing festival in Riyadh - SOUNDSTORM, held its first edition in 2019 with acts such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Tiësto, Afrojack, and R3HAB, to name only a few, which was just the beginning and more than an event. SOUNDSTORM was a cultural catalyst for Saudi youth, which will be back in action in December 2021 with a star-studded line-up. Until then, keep an eye out for further groundbreaking releases from this exciting imprint.

Multitalented Sam Blacky returns with her newest single "No More," the perfect track to be your anthem to turning a new page and living it up this summer. It bears her signature tech-house style, running on a deep, driving bassline that incorporates plenty of rhythmic shakers and synths, complete with soulful and captivating vocals. Like most of Blacky's music, "No More" feels right at home being played at clubs or festivals in some of the world's most beautiful venues, since she draws most of her inspiration from her worldwide travels. Out on her own imprint Stabby Records, the single follows up Sam's latest "Paradise." With the pandemic rapidly receding in many areas of the world, keep an eye out for where Sam might be making appearances in the coming months.
"'No More' is super special to me not only because of the message in the lyrics, but also because this song can empower those who hear it and sing along in an almost cathartic way, saying goodbye to past negativity. It's all about moving forward and realizing what you're worth. I definitely feel "No More" being played out in clubs and festivals this summer as a sort of 'f*ck you' anthem to anyone or anything that has hurt you." - Sam Blacky

“"MAXI MERAKI" strikes with a dancing bomb. Are you into House? Be prepared to dive in a mix of wave vibrations, melodic atmosphere and strong emotions. The Belgian artist has given emphasis in his percussion patterns, edited vocals and sound effects, creating an addictive vibe.”
-Nagamag.com
Funky feels from Antwerp’s Maxi Meraki with his first release ‘Way Too Long’ on Dutch House label artwrk. Targeting the Balearic hot spots he’s become accustomed to with deep, focused house composing suave vocals and pianos striding about the place with a splash of salsa to them. While there’s plenty of groove as standard from the Roger Sanchez/Mark Knight-supported spinner - springy bass, a warm blast of synths on a breakdown of calming motivation - Meraki builds an aura and gives the track time and space to explore itself, as per the knowledge-of-self lyrics.
Antwerp resident Maxi Meraki grew up with music and started to play records at high end clubs in Belgium and Amsterdam. A first memorable highlight was noted during the summer of 2018 with a 4 hour set at the Pacha Destino in Ibiza.
Forward to the middle of 2019, the summer season residencies at the W hotel in Barcelona and Izakaya Ibiza set the tone for a bright summer. A sunny season filled with extra gigs: Soho House (Barcelona), Bagatelle (Ibiza), Plage Casanis (Marbella) and the absolute highlight playing on Ibiza’s most popular boat party “Pirata’s Ibiza”, warming up for Circoloco’s DC10 resident DJ Nathan Barato.

“A taste of paradise can be found in this mind tripping creation from "Sam Blacky". Fascinating elusive singing guides us in a parallel spiritual world. Soft and strong, relaxing and energetic... surely something that worths listening.”

Sam Blacky is back with her new single "Paradise," an appropriately titled house gem that evokes images of places like the sun-soaked Ibiza and Mykonos. The track features ethereal vocals by Florida-based singer/songwriter Madeline Austin; the two connected via social media and hit it off when Madeline sent demos for what is now "Paradise." Sam works in a deep, groovy bassline with gently undulating melodies, making for a sultry dancefloor track that will heat up the night wherever you may be. "Paradise" is the third single to come out on Blacky's own Stabby Records, which launched in February this year.
"'Paradise' is a more melodic track that I feel people can enjoy in different environments; listen to it while driving, use as a morning soundtrack after waking up, or dance to it in a club. I wanted to make it more universal than just a club banger. Once again, I pulled inspiration from all the beautiful places I have been to, and 'Paradise' feels like summer in Ibiza or Mykonos. It's the feeling of butterflies in your stomach, floating through the ocean with the wind on your face and a big carefree smile coming from within. Featured on 'Paradise' is singer/songwriter Madeline Austin. When I look for a female vocalist, I post on social media about it because I want to find someone fresh, new, unknown to give them a shot and keep the female movement going. Madi sent me a message and some demos, and the rest is history. She started as a fan, and I soon realized that she is a very talented singer and songwriter. Her vocals and lyrics about paradise, heaven, and a little flirty danger were just perfect for this release." - Sam Blacky
