One of the most respected names in all of dance music will make his anxiously awaited return to Los Angeles on June 1. Nearly a year after headlining Exposition Park in 2023, Solomun will now return for a six-hour extended DJ set filled with the underground’s most sought-after unreleased IDs.

Henri Bergmann, a rising producer in the melodic house and techno space, has returned with a new track under her very own Automatik record label. Out now, “Come On” is a joint effort alongside Wennink, who also sang on Henri Bergmann hit singles “Here’s The Fear” and “Higher Dimension.” Now boasting releases on Afterlife, Watergate, and Stil Vor Talent, among others, it’s time for Bergmann’s Automatik imprint to take center stage.

Dynamic duo Samm & Ajna have finally released their highly requested single, “Move”. Out now on CamelPhat ‘s When Stars Align record label, “Move” is a groovy melodic record blending indie dance and melodic house. The massively welcomed new record had earned coveted DJ support from Keinemusik, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Adriatique. CamelPhat publicly offered praise to Samm & Ajna in stating the single has been the biggest When Stars Align signing to date.

One of the most requested track IDs of 2024 has finally hit streaming platforms. SCRIPT ‘s “On The Low” made headlines as the most played track during Miami Music Week 2024. Having garnered DJ support from top players Tale Of Us, CamelPhat, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and more, “On The Low” is surely anything but. What originally began as a splice sample has grown into a bona fide electronic weapon that draws from hip-hop, house, and techno soundscapes. Characterized by a riveting bassline and mesmerizing synth layers, “On The Low” is primed to launch SCRIPT’s artist career to new heights.

Amsterdam-based artist VNTM is carving a niche in electronic music with his innovative Open Source Project. With the release of “Principle” marking the project’s tenth phase, VNTM continues to draw attention for his blends of modern techno with progressive dance melodies. The Open Source Project invites other artists to reinterpret VNTM’s tracks by providing full access to stems, fostering collaborative creativity in the community, all while highlighting the versatility and depth behind VNTM’s eclectic music production.

London-based duo Henri Bergmann and Wennink are making waves once again their debut on Crosstown Rebels, delivering an emotive crossover, “Guardian Angel.” Known for blending Bergmann’s melodic sensibilities with Wennink’s haunting vocals, the pair has already garnered attention from heavyweights like Afterlife, featuring on Dancing Astronaut ‘s 2022 Label of the Year’s Realm Of Consciousness Pt. VI. The new cut showcases their ability to craft deep, emotional soundscapes, pairing richly textured percussion with Wennink’s vocals for a truly captivating experience.

In 2023, over 500,000 people flocked to Amsterdam Dance Event — also known as ADE — the epicenter of the global dance music industry. This renowned music conference and festival brings together dance music fans, artists, and industry professionals from across the globe, filling the Dutch capital with unforgettable sounds and must-attend experiences. 2024 is set to be the most impressive edition to date, with over 1,000 events spanning across 200 venues. And while ADE can feel overwhelming, Dancing Astronaut has picked five must-attend events that will elevate the week of those attending.
