Boiler Room, which now moves inside the vast halls of the NDSM Warehouse, hosts legendary vinyl-only powerhouse Freddy K (who also goes b2b with Blawan), and furious bass moves courtesy of Femme Bass Mafia don DJ Fuckoff.

SUNDAY

Sunday, and the energy at NDSM Docklands gets turned up to 11.

From South Africa, Amapiano trailblazers Major League Djz look set to bring some serious heat to proceedings, while closer to home, Dutch man-of-the-moment Chris Stussy is on hand to bring DGTL crowds to their feet for a final crescendo of all things house. On the Boiler Room stage, DGTL Records mainstay Coloray makes his Boiler Room debut, LSDXOXO delivers his first Boiler Room set in five years, while Boys Noize celebrates two decades at the helm of global dance music.

Additionally, the iconic Boiler Room stage will be making a return, but this year it\\\’s moving inside, away from the slope outside like last year.

French producer phenomenon Kungs and his megastar mentor David Guetta team up with talented British singer-songwriter Izzy Bizu on ‘All Night Long’, the life-affirming new single out on 19th January.

Stream & Buy https://kungs.lnk.to/AllNightLong

Kungs has never been shy about it: the 26-year-old DJ & producer behind the hits ‘This Girl’, ‘Never Going Home’ and ‘Substitution’ with Purple Disco Machine, which have gained billions of streams worldwide, is a big admirer of the electronic mogul David Guetta. Since meeting in 2016, the two have forged a singular relationship. Although Valentin Brunel aka Kungs benefits from the expertise and advice of the mastermind behind global hits like ‘Titanium’ ft. Sia or, more recently, ‘I\\\’m Good (Blue)’ ft. Bebe Rexha, he is pursuing his own career, asserting his unique identity as a DJ and producer on the new electronic scene in France and around the world.

It’s no surprise then that there’s such a strong artistic connection between Valentin and David. Between studio sessions and long-distance exchanges, their cooperation is a captivating merry-go-round, teeming with ideas, concepts, and visions, shaping ‘All Night Long’ as the banger of 2024.

Bringing together two generations of the French Touch scene, ‘All Night Long’ is a dance anthem that combines addictive melodies, high-energy production and soulful pop vocals. Kungs and David Guetta’s exquisite synergy, marked by their longstanding collaboration, provides the perfect platform for Izzy Bizu’s unique voice, which blends pop hooks with indie vibes over frank, heartfelt lyrics.

‘All Night Long’ began with the three artists\\\’ desire to create a unifying anthem celebrating festivity, carefreeness, and desire. Working remotely between Paris, San Diego, Miami and London, the project took shape around the philosophy of making people dance.

The track’s celebratory energy is perfectly embodied in the official video, \\\”Shadows\\\” directed by Ferina, which explores themes of youth and love in a muggy, suffocating, end-of-the-world atmosphere, where the only motto is to live to the fullest. Part life story, part cinematic journey, the story is told through characters and a series of simple, identifiable events, like a living “tableau” of a sensory voyage.

With their promise of a brighter tomorrow, Kungs, David Guetta and Izzy Bizu deliver a unifying, positive and unfiltered celebration of life with ‘All Night Long’.

HELLMATE, Santiago & Carlitos, Chantal Lewis-Brown – Show Me Love | Glasgow Underground

If there\\\’s one song so brilliant yet so saturated that we thought we would never want to do a version, it is \\\”Show Me Love\\\”. It\\\’s the kind of song that is so iconic that any remakes would have old DJs shouting at clouds and certain Facebook groups spouting comments by the 100s faster than you can say, \\\”SOME RECORDS SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED!!\\\” However, as you all know, we are focussed only on making happy dancefloors and regularly eat those comments for breakfast! Honestly, though, even our A&Rs took some convincing with this song. However, after seeing this version destroy dancefloors big and small with equally devastating effects, we knew we had to do it. Up stepped Chantal Brown and delivered her fantastic take on this killer song. Add to that the system-shaking beats of Hellmate and Santiago & Carlitos, and we have another supreme party starter for your sets.

Cheshire, England – Good Spells, the enigmatic British music producer, artist, and songwriter, has unleashed a mesmerizing sonic journey with the latest release, \\\’Time Again\\\’. This profound track delves into the heart of \\\’Dark Pop\\\’ or \\\’Alt Pop\\\’, intricately weaving experimental production with mainstream aesthetics and electronica influences.

Classified within the realms of Electronic, Commercial DnB, and Pop, \\\’Time Again\\\’ captivates with its deep, atmospheric, and energetic allure. Good Spells\\\’ signature sound resonates profoundly, enveloping listeners in a hauntingly beautiful sonic landscape.

At the core of \\\’Time Again\\\’ lies a poignant message touching on grief and loss. Good Spells aims to provoke introspection, urging listeners to contemplate what they might do differently if faced with the last moments with a loved one.

Drawing inspiration from an eclectic mix of musical legends such as The Prodigy, TOOL, London Grammar, Glitch Mob, and Sleep Token, Good Spells\\\’ evolution as an artist is evident in the track\\\’s emotive depth.

With a background in producing for others and overseeing commercial recording studios, this solo venture embodies a passion for alt-genre, synth-driven music, and traditional song-writing.
