The collective of artists has used recent studio time to come together on a cover of an early 2000’s R&B hit in ‘Superstar’. An international hit on its initial release, this latest version is seeking for more electronic fuelled support thanks to the trademark 4/4 big room that both Wolfpack and Angemi have carefully crafted in recent years, coupled with flourishes of Flaremode’s unique production input.

DJ Frog, Vursov and Boust join forces to make some noise on the latest Generation Smash anthem, ‘Love U’. Generation Smash have been making all the right noises in recent times, elevating their status as tastemakers in the electronic music scene, combining new talent with established artists with one key theme in mind, the quality of the music.


‘Love U’ leads with the vocal, which shines brightly from the beginning. Numerous elements are brought in as the track builds towards the drop. The stuttering arpeggio synth line drives the track forward, providing the groove alongside the vocal. Various synths flair up in the main break, combining to ensure ‘Love U’ keeps things fresh before the second drop and interesting rhythm returns.


Combined, DJ Frog, Vursov and Boust have dropped singles that have been picked up by some of dance music’s elite, including label heads Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Julian Jordan and Mike Williams. ‘Love U’ is set to continue that upward trend and propel all artists involved into the limelight.

“I’ve always wanted to use my platform to help up and coming artists. Using Joytime Collective as the vessel of introducing talented artists to the world. I knew the moment was right when I came across Papa Khan’s music. He’s bringing something fresh and new to dance music.” - Marshmello

The Indonesian producer, Papa Khan, has sent shockwaves throughout the EDM world, garnering the attention of world-renowned producers such as Marshmello, Svdden Death, Ghastly, and more. He was able to generate his buzz through his unorthodox glitchy style and popular track Fall Apart. Recently, Papa Khan has been the talk of every EDM forum from his snippets and teasers of his highly anticipated single Rain. He released a clip of the track on twitter early June 2020. The tweet has then amassed over 170,000+ views and more than 6,400+ interactions. With the EDM world watching his every move, Papa Khan continued to tease the track more during his debut set on Marauda’s Insomniac BassRush presents Malignant music showcase performance, which received praise from the community. It’s evident that Papa Khan is next up, so much so that Marshmello sought out for him and is set to release Papa Khan’s ‘Rain’ under his label Joytime Collective. ​

Joytime Collective was first established in 2016 by Marshmello as a way to self-release all of his own music. Marshmello now feels it is time to use his platform and bring up other artists that he believes in, first of which is Papa Khan. Last week, with the anticipation for ‘Rain’ at a high, Marshmello posted a video of him playing ‘Rain’ in a live set announcing the release and the dance community went wild, even catching the attention of dance legend Skrillex. With the support of Marshmello and an already tight-knit fanbase it’s only a matter of time for Papa Khan to become a household name. Keep a close eye out for Papa Khan’s next moves as he breaks boundaries as the new wave of EDM.

Alex Gaudino is one of the biggest Italian house producers in his home country.  His track Little Love, together with Jerma, is still heard across all festivals and is still recognized by everyone loving electronic dance music even though it got released back in 2005. Now, Tiesto's imprint Musical Freedom pays homage to this legend  creating a remix made by himself Alex Gaudino and another important Italian name in music production: Hiisak.

 There's something fitting about listening to this remix of "Little love"  at end of summer.
As the opening of a narrative, it tackles the initial imagination and wonder of love. It is, for its ability to evoke so much emotion with a minimalistic approach, the remix  is a creative collection of binaries, from moments of calm to explosions of euphoria, flashing back to the past and dreaming about the future. As listeners, it grounds us in the present with reflective subject matters whilst leaving room for our imagination. As artists, the the remix cements Alex Gaudino and Hiisak  as masters  and   electronic dance visionaries.
