In this exclusive interview, we delve into the world of 2smile, a duo renowned for their innovative approach to electronic music. As they discuss their latest track ‘Guerilla’ and upcoming projects, it becomes clear that their music is more than just sound—it’s a narrative shaped by years of experience and diverse influences. With a career spanning over two decades and a fresh perspective on the industry, 2smile offers an engaging glimpse into their creative process, inspirations, and ambitions, shedding light on what it takes to stay relevant and vibrant in the ever-evolving world of music.

Hey Guys, firstly, how are you doing today?

Today things are going very well, we are very busy preparing for our artistic residency which will take place this month in Marseille.

Your latest track is titled ‘Guerilla’ could you tell us a bit more about the meaning behind this?

When we created this piece, the tribal part gave us a mental photo of Indian warriors defending their land.

Could you tell us about the writing process?

For guerrilla we first found these tribal rhythms using our studio maschine. then we did the bass with our moog Voyager and finally the different fx and acid with tb 303 and eventide eclipse. Basically it starts from an idea, a thought and then we let the flow and the machines work. Then we capture the jam session and then we refine, edit and mix and then comes the mastering phase.

2smile isn’t your first project, could you tell us more about your background and how this project came to fruition?

We’ve been producing music for about 25 years. especially for rave parties, always independent through our different labels okupe and metek. And during covid we decided to explore new musical horizons. and we created a lot of tracks. in a lot of style

This is really where 2smile was born.

For us it is the project of a lifetime. and the beginning of a great adventure

Which artists would you say are your biggest influences?

We have a huge amount of electronic influence or not.

Fela Kuti is a mentor to us in what music represents. marwin gay for the groove is the flow, spiral tribe for what they brought to the underground culture. but artists like Dj Koze, Solee, Dj Harvey, Gui Borrato, Trentmoller, Pan Pot, Artbart, Cirez D, the list is still long but these are just a few names that are part of our influences for the 2smile project.

You run your own label Ondawey Music. What plans do you have in store for the label this year?

In fact we created the Ondawey Music label in parallel with the 2smile project in order to have total freedom over our distribution. Ondawey is a production and distribution factory. We aim to release two tracks per month. in order to always have news for our audience. We also started to produce our friend and singer Jade PraiZe and a few other artists from our 2smile Family.

I read that you plan to take Ondawey on the road again this year. Could you tell us more about that?

We now have a manager and a booking agency and it is time for us to hit the clubs and festivals in order to share our flow, our energy, our music with fans of real music…

At the same time, we are setting up a scenography to offer an immersive show. but that’s another story 😉

Do you have any exciting releases coming up?

in fact there are important releases for us which will arrive but we will let you discover.

What are your goals for 2024?

Our future goals are to play as much as possible and come out of the shadows. We have done a lot of work and it is time to share it all.

Marlon Hoffstadt & David Guetta – Caught Up

Marlon Hoffstadt and David Guetta link up on Caught Up, a new collaboration through Capitol Records. Marlon Hoffstadt said he grew up listening to David Guetta and called the collaboration “absolutely mental.” He also said they made the track earlier this year, just before Ultra Miami. Meanwhile, the single connects Marlon Hoffstadt’s trance-heavy style with David Guetta’s global dance reach. With Caught Up, the pair bring one of the week’s biggest collaborations into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

Armin van Buuren & Funk Tribu – Nirvana

Armin van Buuren and Funk Tribu team up on Nirvana, a new Armada Music single. The track connects Armin van Buuren’s trance roots with Funk Tribu’s faster club style. It also follows Armin van Buuren’s recent A State of Trance Ibiza 2026 mix album. For Funk Tribu, Nirvana places him beside one of trance music’s most established names. With Nirvana, both artists bring a direct trance entry into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

WÓTIE – Never Let You Go

WÓTIE turns a deeply personal story into Never Let You Go, a melodic dance and progressive house single. The song reflects his years-long separation from his daughter and the hope he held onto through that period. He wrote it in 2019 during a difficult time in Brazil, with lyrics drawn from loss, distance, and love. Musically, the track pairs warm male vocals, emotional piano, organic elements, and a euphoric drop. With Never Let You Go, WÓTIE brings one of the week’s most personal tracks into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

SKILAH – GOMF BUT LOUDER

SKILAH returns with GOMF BUT LOUDER, a tech house rework of her September single GOMF. The new version takes the original into faster and harder territory, with dark production, heavy bass, and her own vocals still at the center. It follows major festival appearances at Lost Lands, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Breakaway Music Festival, Foam Wonderland, and Ubbi Dubbi. At 23, the Minnesota-born, Los Angeles-based artist has also passed 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. With GOMF BUT LOUDER, SKILAH brings a harder tech house cut into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

Chase & Status – Generic Everything (album)

Chase & Status release Generic Everything, a 10-track album through 2RUFF Records and Warner Music UK. The album pushes against algorithm-led creative sameness, while drawing from drum and bass, rave, rap, and soundsystem culture. It features J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco, IRAH, Col3trane, and more. One of its biggest moments is Essa Ta Quente, a Brazilian funk-leaning track with Skrillex. With Generic Everything, Chase & Status bring a full album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

Dillon Francis, Oaks – Fall

Dillon Francis and Oaks release Fall, a melodic single out via Monstercat and Broke Records. The track centers on an expressive vocal topline, soaring melodies, and the feeling of finally letting go. Dillon Francis said the song was written for their significant others and came from a studio session where everyone was writing from the same place. It follows a major 2026 for Dillon Francis, including Stagecoach, the Impact Award at the EDM Awards, and the Dillstradamus co-headline tour with Flosstradamus. With Fall, Dillon Francis and Oaks add a more emotional dance release to New EDM Friday Oct 9.

Effin – Heartbeats (Album)

Effin presents Heartbeats, a 12-track album centered on love, memory, nostalgia, and detailed sampling. Across the project, the Nashville producer uses 1950s film dialogue, forgotten live recordings, jazz flutes, vocal manipulation, and vintage-inspired textures. The album follows his earlier singles What’s In Your Heart, Forever & Always, and Plus One, each giving a different part of the project’s emotional world. It also follows his biggest touring year so far, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lost Lands, Breakaway, VELD, and more. With Heartbeats, Effin brings a conceptual bass album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

BETH Turns Up the Energy With New Single ‘Wait’

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.

Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.

His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.

‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.
