- Steven Julien Releases 808 PRINCE Album on Apron Records
Steven Julien's 808 PRINCE is out on his own Apron Records label. The 10-track album features James Massiah, J. Caesar, Touch Sensitive, Jarren and KIAH, and Julien told MusicRadar it grew out of beats he first made for Babyxsosa.
- Peggy Gou Built a Global House Sound Then Let It Eat Her Whole
Nanana has 400 million streams and Peggy Gou sold out Drumsheds in October, but I Hear You sounds like someone trying to remember what made them dangerous in the first place.
- Fred again sold out Alexandra Palace four nights running and the floor was full of people filming
The USB residencies proved Fred again can fill rooms that hold thousands. What they didn't prove is whether those rooms still function like dance floors or whether they've become something closer to a stadium show with a DJ booth instead of a guitar.
- Boiler Room Turned DJ Sets Into Content and Nobody Noticed the Trade
The platform that streamed underground club culture to the world changed what it means to play for a room. Now the room is just a set piece.
- Len Faki and the Berghain Credibility Problem
Twenty years into his residency at the world's most name-checked techno room, Len Faki is still building tracks from scratch with sequencers and sample libraries while everyone else trades on the venue's mystique without understanding what made it matter.
- Objekt and the Scale Problem Nobody Wants to Solve
TJ Hertz launched a new label in October, reissued Ganzfeld with three remixes, and played another year of Freerotation and Dekmantel. The Berlin producer who won't scale might be the only one still doing it right.
- Sama Abdulhadi and the Platform She Already Earned
Ten years into her career, the Palestinian producer is still being introduced as if Boiler Room discovered her. The underground didn't give her a platform. She built one.
- Charlotte de Witte Built a Fortress When the Clubs Wanted a Bridge
Her self-titled debut album and KNTXT empire prove Belgian techno's most visible face has chosen purity over evolution. The question is whether 20,000 in Genoa's public square means she's right, or just loud enough that it doesn't matter yet.
- Amelie Lens Has Perfected the Formula. Now What?
With debut album AURA and EXHALE residencies selling out rooms from Ibiza to Drumsheds, the Belgian producer has become techno's most reliable name. But reliability in club music is not always a compliment.
- Fred again built a genre for people who cry in Ubers
The Actual Life trilogy turned voice memos and 909s into sold-out arenas. But laptop confessional only scales so far before it stops being confessional.
- Kaytranada Has Made the Same Record Three Times Now
The Montreal producer won two Grammys for perfecting the 108 BPM shuffle groove. TIMELESS proves he knows exactly one way to make a room move.
- Disclosure Strip Down After the Crossover Years
Guy and Howard Lawrence spent half a decade chasing radio play. Their fourth album Alchemy and the 2025 singles that followed ask a harder question: can they still make a room move without a vocalist doing the work?
- DJ Koze Makes the Most Emotionally Literate House Music Alive and Nobody Treats It That Way
Seven years between Knock Knock and Music Can Hear Us. The Hamburg producer who puts Damon Albarn over broken MPC loops and Japanese doo-wop through German filter sweeps is still being booked like he's a festival curiosity instead of one of the most sophisticated arrangers in electronic music.
- Bicep Built a Label Instead of Making Another Album
The Belfast duo went from blog-era tastemakers to arena headliners, then launched CHROMA and started curating instead of creating. Ten releases in eighteen months, none of them theirs.
- Black Coffee's Hï Ibiza residency year eight: the question isn't about crowds, it's about ceilings
The South African producer who brought Afro house to Coachella and Madison Square Garden is still filling rooms at 123 BPM. So why does electronic music criticism still treat him like a crossover story instead of a lineage architect?
- Peggy Gou Made a Pop Record and Called It House Music
The Berlin-based Korean DJ spent a decade building credibility on the floor. Then she sampled ATB, signed to XL, and walked away from the 909.
- Dom Dolla Takes 40,000 to a Stadium and Still Plays It Safe
The Melbourne producer just became the first electronic act to headline an Australian stadium. His new label, Good Fortune, and his Hï Ibiza Friday slot say he's arrived. But 'Dreamin' and that Puretone remix say he's still working the same disco loop filter sweep that made him famous.
- John Summit sold 15 million streams but still hasn't made a Chicago record
The most streamed DJ on Spotify runs a label called Experts Only and headlines festivals with house music that knows every rule except the one about risk. His residencies print money. His BPMs never waver. The question is whether any of it actually moves.
