Tomorrowland Recap, Illenium's New Album, First DJ Set in Space, New Music, and much more | Ep. 25

Episode Summary

First of all, apologies for the recording quality of this episode! We had some errors in our recordings, so we had to use the backup which led to a decrease in audio quality for our voices. However, don't worry, we'll have it fixed for all future episodes. Otherwise... Welcome to Episode 25! We can't believe that we've made it this far... it's been one hell of a ride. So THANK YOU for tuning in. We hope that you're liking the show and that you share our passion for electronic music. This week, we talk about a new release from an Artist We're Watching: Trip Trop. They remixed Duke Dumont's Need U 100%. Yet again, these guys showcase their eclectic style and ability to blend genres. What a great release. We also cover new music from Pryda, Flume, Afrojack, i_o, Illenium, NGHTMRE, and Eptic + Dillon Francis. Delving into the world of EDM, Samir talks about his time seeing Drezo, we go over the Moonrise lineup, recap Tomorrowland, and try to wrap our heads around the fact that there will be an astronaut deejaying in space... This week, we rate Idris Elba's new single - On Life and Knife Party's Lost Souls EP. A special shoutout to the Artists We're Watching this week: NADDA and ORB. PUT THEM ON YOUR RADAR.
