Get To Know Future Joy Before Hulaween 2025

Another day closer to Hulaween 2025, and another artist you can’t miss: Future Joy. The DJ power couple, Emily Cooper and Zach Simms, are bringing their vibrant, high-energy sets to Suwannee Music Park this weekend. Returning for their fifth Hula performance, this year’s set marks their debut on the fan-favorite Amphitheater Stage, where fans can catch them at 4:45 PM on Thursday. They’re unveiling a Toy Story theme this time around, inviting fans to get creative with costumes and join the adventure.

Hailing from St. Petersburg, Florida and Denver, Colorado, Future Joy blends elements of house, funk, drum and bass, jazz, and more with their signature vocals and live instrumentation. Both Cooper and Simms play keys, sing, and DJ, while Simms brings extra funk with tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones. Known for getting the dance floor moving and building genuine connections through music and joy, Future Joy is quickly becoming the soundtrack to elevating both mind and soul.

Future Joy has been on a festival roll, performing at some of the most iconic events across the country. Apart from Hulaween, they’ve taken the stage at Bonnaroo, Joshua Tree, Treefort, Elements, Secret Dreams, Resonate, and more. The duo has also played direct support for artists like Manic Focus, BoomBox, Sunsquabi, The Polish Ambassador, Moon Hooch, and Marvel Years, among others.

To wrap up the summer, they released their debut full-length studio album “NOW” in July, a 13-track journey that reflects their deep love and musical connection as they travel the country performing from their RV. Having recently tied the knot at Joyful Festival in February, that raw emotional energy shines through, giving the album an intimate and heartfelt touch. At its core, “NOW” is also a celebration of living fully in the present moment, capturing the joy, spontaneity, and gratitude that define both their music and their lives.

We can’t wait to catch Future Joy’s signature sax-infused energy at Hulaween this weekend! See you at their set on Thursday, October 30, at 4:45 PM on The Amphitheater Stage. 

If you can’t get enough after Suwannee, the music doesn’t stop there! The duo will keep the vibes rolling with upcoming shows at Asheville Music Hall on December 31, Animas City Theatre in Durango, CO on January 17, Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, CO on January 18, Meow Wolf Denver’s Convergence Station on January 23, and Joyful 2026 in St. Petersburg, FL on January 31.

Get To Know WonkyWilla Before Hulaween 2025

With Hulaween 2025 only days away, it’s time to spotlight some of the artists who will make this weekend at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park both haunting and magical—starting with none other than WonkyWilla. Just a year after attending the festival as a fan, he’s now set to make his Hulaween debut on the Hallows Stage from 7:10 to 7:50 p.m. In the midst of his Galactic Circus Tour—which spans over 30 stops across the U.S.—WonkyWilla’s set is one you won’t want to miss.

This has been a breakout year for WonkyWilla. Following his Get Wonked tour and a stacked debut festival season—featuring appearances at Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, Electric Forest, Ubbi Dubbi, Dancefestopia, WAKAAN, ILLfest, Same Same But Different, and Sound Haven—he’s quickly become one of the most exciting new names in bass music. Now, his Galactic Circus Tour brings his wonky and colorful signature sound to iconic venues like Webster Hall (NYC), Showbox (Seattle), Crystal Ballroom (Portland), Gods & Monsters (San Francisco), The Roxy (Los Angeles), and a two-night takeover at Denver’s Ogden Theatre this November.

“This tour is inspired by the magic and chaos of the circus,” said Wonky Willa, “where every moment feels larger than life. I want to bring that same sense of wonder into the WonkyWilla-verse, where it feels like stepping into a twisted sci-fi candy land. My hope is that each night feels like joining the greatest show in the galaxy.”

Beyond his performances, WonkyWilla is channeling his energy into philanthropy. On Wednesday, November 26, he’ll host The Wonksgiving Charity Event at Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas. Partnering with Texas CASA, $2 from each ticket will go toward supporting the organization’s work in providing training, resources, and advocacy for children and families who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Fans can also take part by donating to WonkyWilla’s food and clothing drive, further showcasing his dedication to using music as a force for good. The drive supports local families in need, and those who contribute will be entered to win a signed merch package and two tickets to ILLfest 2026—a perfect way to give back while keeping the festival spirit alive.

“Wonksgiving was inspired by the idea of bringing people together around music” said WonkyWilla, “the same way families gather around the table for the holidays. I wanted to create a show that feels like both a celebration and a homecoming for the community. Beyond the music, we are tying it to charitable initiatives because giving back is at the heart of what this season represents. My hope is that everyone leaves feeling connected, uplifted, and part of something bigger than themselves.”

If you can’t wait until Thursday to get wonky, check out WonkyWilla’s West Coast Wonk Volume 2 on SoundCloud below. The mixtape is currently rolling out, packed with bass-fueled, genre-defying hip-hop flips that capture his signature sound.

And if you’re looking for us on Thursday at 7:10 p.m. at Hulaween, you’ll find us right at the rail for WonkyWilla.

BVRRN And DijahSB Crash The Glass On “Rebound”

Up and coming DJ/producer BVRRN teams up with DijahSB for infectious pop-house anthem “Rebound.” Set to release on Brainjack, “Rebound” is BVRRN’s third release with the coveted label. “Rebound” is a fantastic example of modern genre fusion, executed with surgical precision. The track is both a hard-hitting club weapon and a lyrically compelling rap song that feels both relevant and personal.

BVRRN’s production can be best described by its kinetic energy and impeccable sound design. The beat is defined by a deep, almost rubbery bassline, containing a modulated synth that acts less like background support and more like a second melodic lead. Engineering songs in this fashion is BVRRN’s specialty, with the bassline hitting with percussive weight while retaining an elastic, melodic quality. The rhythmic backbone of “Rebound” is anchored by four-on-the-floor kicks, but the crucial element is the precision-cut, high-frequency shuffling hi-hats and delayed percussion accents. This complex structure allows the track to feel both driving and exceptionally bouncy.

DijahSB’s delivery is smooth, conversational, and carries a wry, knowing wit, seamlessly riding the complex, fast-paced rhythm without ever sounding rushed. They excel at using highly specific, observational lines that make the listener feel like they are sharing a casual conversation, reinforcing their position as a voice for those navigating modern life’s anxieties and triumphs. This lyrical depth is what transforms “Rebound” from a standard club track into a lasting anthem.

Dive deeper into the worlds of BVRRN and DijahSB by following them and blasting their music through the links below. Their careers are expanding, so prepare to be swept away in a world of immaculate vibes and phenomenal music. Also, make sure to find “Rebound” headlining our New Music Friday playlist this week!

LYNY’s Debut Album ‘Noise To Dance To’ Redefines His Sound

Following a multi-year run of collaborations and high-energy singles, LYNY finally delivered his debut album, Noise To Dance To, last week on October 17. The Chicago-born artist delivers an incredible showcase of his evolution, pushing his signature sound into fresh, uncharted territory, while balancing creativity and experimentation with familiarity.

Noise To Dance To exemplifies LYNY’s growth as an artist, while still effortlessly maintaining the signature LYNY sound his fans have come to love. LYNY’s sound has always been raw, gritty, and unique, which has helped him to stand out in what seems to be a never-ending ocean of bass talents.

The Lead Single: “Section”

The project features 11 tracks, which are all new, unreleased songs except for the lead single, “Section.” The song manipulates a vocal sample from Benny Benassi’s classic, “Satisfaction,” warping it to fit his aesthetic using his gritty LYNY bass and funky sound design.

The Classic LYNY Vibe

Tracks like “Step To It,” “Fire,” “Breaker,” and the Cozy Kev-collab “Triumph” bring that classic LYNY energy and are reminiscent of the early releases that helped him grow his audience over the years. His collaborations with PEEKABOO from last year come to mind, including his remix of “Bumpin'” and their collaboration on “Like That.” Those tracks would sound right at home within the first half of the album.

Pushing Boundaries

As the project unfolds, one can hear LYNY at his most adventurous. He spends the remainder of the album exploring new sounds and genres, particularly with “Sellout” and “King,” two raw, gritty drum & bass cuts that accelerate the project’s momentum. As the album progresses, Noise To Dance To begins to take shape as more than just a bass record. LYNY experiments with tempo, rhythm, and sound design throughout the project, and comes off as confident throughout, bridging his underground bass roots with elements from more mainstream influences to create something truly special.

The middle of the record shows off even more versatility, as LYNY fuses heavy trap and house elements on “Remember,” “Rude,” and “Money.” All three are fun, high-energy tracks that would set fire to any dance floor. “Money” stands out in particular, a vibrant trap anthem that channels the style and energy of many of the releases from trap-trailblazers like Knock2 and ISOXO.

Immediately following those high-energy tracks lies “Heard You,” a complete contrast to the previous tracks. “Heard You” slows the tempo and dives into a moodier space. Euphoric, heavy, atmospheric synths are highlighted alongside emotional vocals and synth chops, creating a cinematic atmosphere. It allows the listener to stop and breathe for a brief moment before nose-diving right back into the high-BPM drum & bass chaos of “Sellout.”

LYNY’s Studio Mindset

Beneath all the bass and energy, Noise To Dance To feels like a celebration of the creative process itself. It’s a record born from the joy of experimenting, a theme LYNY directly acknowledged when reflecting on the making of the album through an Instagram post last week.

We had this sort of comical saying we always said in the studios when things got a bit too technical or hard: ‘we’re really just making noise on a computer,’ and I think that somehow has done wonders for us.

It’s that playful, casual, and experimental mindset that defines Noise To Dance To.

The Finale: “Digital Runaway”

Closing the album is “Digital Runaway,” a remarkable finale that trades the heavy bass elements throughout the project for emotion and melody. An euphoric vocal sample rides over the nostalgic melodies that come together to create a true classic festival banger, reminiscent of hits from the early 2010s EDM era.

“Digital Runaway” is the perfect ending to a project that celebrates and highlights LYNY’s creativity, growth, and development as an artist, and the joy that he feels in creating exactly what this project was meant to be: Noise To Dance To.

LYNY’s Next Chapter

With Noise To Dance To, LYNY wasn’t just trying to cement his place in bass music; he’s completely redefining his sound and versatility as an artist. He’ll hit the road on a nationwide tour for the new album starting in November, working alongside the California-based event brand Brownies & Lemonade for tour support. From start to finish, the creativity and excitement can be felt within every track, and it’s obvious that this album was just as fun for LYNY to make as it is for the listener to experience. Don’t miss out on a chance to hear it live; tickets are on sale now.

BLXK MNTN’s New EP Will Make You ‘SWEAT’

BLXK MNTN makes a killer HypnoVizion debut with his all-new immersive EP, SWEAT.

A sexy club vibe tied together with mechanical builds and daunting drops, SWEAT fits in perfectly with HypnoVizion’s ominous aesthetic. The soundscape is dark, even sultry, and features more of a phonk sound than BLXK MNTN’s previous work.

BLXK MNTN describes SWEAT as “a slow slide into a darker world, part club and part synthetic dreamscape.”

“Lost her Soul” serves as a perfect opener to the EP, showcasing BLXK MNTN’s signature sound and storytelling skills.

The first track outlines the story of a succubus-esque subject and her dark tie to bass music. Its pulsing club beat beckons listeners to let the music control their movement. 

BLXK MNTN follows up with “Ghost In The Shell,” a faster-paced track bound to excite listeners. While each song reveals his storytelling skills, SWEAT comes together as one complete narrative with each devilish dance track.

“Each track creates its own atmosphere, but together they tell a story that feels raw, intimate, and a little haunted,” BLXK MNTN said about SWEAT.

The second of three tracks, “Ghost In The Shell” is a precursor to the climax of the album.

Finally, the EP’s namesake, “Sweat,” is an absolutely nasty finisher to the album. Its creeping intro is a perfect build into the heaviest drops of all three songs. 

While wrapping up the story effortlessly, BLXK MNTN creates tension with the longest buildups and driving lyrics. The song commands listeners to “Sweat” before ripping into a gritty baseline.

“Its sound is inspired by artists like Street Fever, Meus, Gesaffelstein, and Rezz, and lives somewhere between hypnotic grooves, distorted emotion, and dystopian energy,” BLXK MNTN said.

Being a music producer, DJ, and illustrator, BLXK MNTN is the full package. He’s a multimedia artist rising in the bass scene, quickly and quietly.

With previous music releases on labels Welcome Records and Deadbeats, BLXK MNTN is on the way to the top. His graphic work appears on releases from Deadbeats and HypnoVizion, and powers visuals for artists like Kayzo and Riot Ten.

It’ll be no surprise if BLXK MNTN’s audio-visual work becomes more prominent in the heavy, dark side of EDM soon. Listeners can stream SWEAT by BLXK MNTN here.

Kaskade’s “DNCR” And “Imprint” Set The Bar For ‘Undux’ Album

Kaskade’s new singles “DNCR” and “Imprint” tease listeners with a taste of what’s to come on his next album, Undux. Those two tracks, released Thursday, October 16, are the first of Kaskade’s tracks to be released from his upcoming album, slated to drop on December 4. 

Though the tracks contrast in sound, they share themes of connection and renewal through their vulnerable lyricism and tasteful production. “DNCR” and “Imprint” highlight Kaskade’s evolution as a storyteller inspired by emotion.

Featuring a pulsing beat and euphoric vocals, “DNCR” delivers thick emotional intensity while maintaining Kaskade’s iconic, danceable sound. The track reflects how movement, specifically dance, encourages connection and inspires living in the now. 

“This song taps into the power of surrender – the way connection can pull you out of your own head and into the present moment,” Kaskade said. “It’s about being moved by another person’s energy.”

Truthfully, the track is as addictive as some of Kaskade’s top dance hits. The beat’s ability to create movement, paired with alluring lyrics rolling off the tongue, makes the track an effortless listen. 

While “DNCR” inspires free-spirited movement, “Imprint” slows down the tempo for a moving, introspective moment among listeners. With a beautiful metaphor behind the track title, “Imprint” will bring deep emotions to the surface for many. 

“These lyrics come from a place of trying to make sense of a story that doesn’t unfold the way you imagined,” Kasakade said. “It’s about memory, perspective, and the marks people leave on our lives – sometimes permanent, sometimes like ink that fades.”

Photo Courtesy: MP3 Public Relations

The song begins with a beat, begging listeners to lock in on its meaningful lyrics. It’s certainly the type of song that gives listeners a moment for themselves to think, feel, and be. 

Courtney Storm’s angelic, deep voice is an undeniable match for the moving story Kaskade tells with “Imprint.” While he crafts a calm, meaningful soundscape, her voice perfectly captures the tone of his narrative.

Evidently, Kaskade is no stranger to transparency regarding emotion, and these two singles showcase that. “Imprint” perfectly encapsulates the feeling of longing, matching its soft tune to lyrics written from the heart. “DNCR” explores the magic of dance and its ability to connect people of all backgrounds. 

Kaskade’s forthcoming album, Undux, will be released on December 4 through his label, Arkade, and Monstercat. Listeners can presave it here.

SIPPY Unleashes Raw Power With “Scars In Stereo”

Australian powerhouse SIPPY is stepping into a bold new era with her long-awaited debut album, Scars In Stereo, arriving October 17 via Deadbeats. The 10-track project flips the switch from the high-energy “Gremlin” persona fans know to a more vulnerable, unfiltered side of the artist. Each song channels real emotions, from triumph to heartbreak, creating an intimate journey that resonates deeply.

The album opens with the spoken-word title track, immediately setting the tone for an emotional storytelling experience. Tracks like “Wide Awake” (feat. No Me) and “Can’t Over You” explore self-doubt and heartbreak, while “Like I’m High” captures the dizzying highs of self-discovery. “FUKT UP” channels rebellious energy, reclaiming power from industry pressures, setting the stage for her to reflect on her odyssey. SIPPY shares,

“Scars In Stereo is a reflection of my journey through the music industry: the highs, the hardships, and everything in between. It captures the wins, but also the depression, disassociation, and misconduct I’ve faced along the way. More than anything, this album is about resilience. It’s about standing up, pushing through, and owning my story. I wanted it to feel like a peek into my personal journal. These songs, in their original form, were written in real time (when the feelings were raw) then set aside until I was ready to be vulnerable enough to share. Now, I am. -SIPPY”

SIPPY’s production shines throughout. She blends hard-hitting bass, soaring synths, and haunting vocals into a cohesive soundscape that pushes boundaries while remaining unmistakably hers. Fans hear the evolution of an artist who has grown from support slots for Zeds Dead, Excision, and Dirt Monkey to headlining sold-out shows, including Red Rocks, Tomorrowland, and Lost Lands.

The album release aligns perfectly with her Scars In Stereo national tour. Each live show brings the album to life, combining high-energy sets with immersive visuals. With her new LP, SIPPY proves she’s not just a producer; she’s a storyteller. She strips away the armor, delivers raw emotion, and redefines what fans can expect from a debut album.

Tracks like “River Road” and “Hey Boom Boom” blend blues-inflected riffs with electronic grooves. The result is an album that feels alive, unpredictable, and heartfelt. John shares,

“Over the past two years I’ve tried to come up with a more solid definition of the sound of Manic Focus, but I often find myself exploring more and more the enormous musical landscape before us and can’t stop experimenting with various synth elements and genres. I’ve always leaned more on the production side than the DJ side, but this album has a lot of good mix in/out points for DJs wanting to showcase the MF style. I hope you enjoy it. Much love! -John “JmaC” McCarten”

With Other Side of Paradise, Manic Focus proves he masters genre-defying electronic music. He experiments boldly while maintaining his groove.

“Swimming In The Sky” is about learning to take it easy on yourself. It’s about choosing to live in awe of the world. We spend so much time chasing meaning and productivity that we forget the real magic happens when we just float on.”

Kaskade Reveals ‘undux’ Album Coming December

Kaskade pulls on fans’ heartstrings with the announcement of his new album, undux, slated for release on December 4.

The studio album will mark a spectacular, personal comeback for the electronic icon, highlighting true, raw emotion through its tracks. Undux will be released through Kaskade’s label, Arkade, and longtime Canadian electronic music label, Monstercat. Listeners can already pre-save the album.

With a vulnerable Instagram reel, Kaskade sheds light on his experience creating undux amid the chaos of life’s challenges. He details his journey of stepping back, then channeling real emotions into creating a beautiful, authentic album. 

“The process was frustrating. I was making music but it didn’t feel honest. So I shelved what I had, let some time pass and tried again later,” Kaskade shared. “I was sad and lonely and the music reflected that.”

With this album, Kaskade hopes to reach fans in a personal way and touch listeners’ hearts. In turn, he ties his resilience with undux to the wonder of believing in something more. 

“Undux became a study of that hope and the beauty that comes from having faith in something bigger than ourselves,” Kaskade said. “ I hope whoever listens can connect to it in that way.”

Because of his legend status in the EDM scene, it’s no surprise Kaskade is persisting for perfection on undux. Record-setting crowds and an extensive list of appearances at bucket-list festivals speak to his lasting impact.

In 2022, Kaskade and deadmau5 came together as Kx5 for an unforgettable show at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Notably, Pollstar deemed it the “largest single-day event headlined by an electronic artist,” with at least 50,000 attendees.

Not surprisingly, Kaskade’s accomplishments stretch beyond the electronic music scene into many walks of life.

He became the first-ever in-game Super Bowl DJ, capturing fans’ thrill for the game with the perfect live soundtrack. Then, he continued in the sports realm with sets at events like the X Games, Formula 1 Racing, and more.

Time and time again, the talented DJ has proven himself a master of producing music people love. Clearly, fans will be bursting with anticipation for the foreseeable future before the album’s release.
