Against All Ødds Returns To ZeroThree With Echo Silence
Against All Ødds Returns To ZeroThree With Echo Silence as his fourth release on the label brings an original vocal into focus
Against All Ødds returns to ZeroThree with Echo Silence, an emotional melodic record blending progressive house, melodic techno, and trance. The single also marks his fourth release on the imprint. Centered around an original vocal, Echo Silence follows his previous ZeroThree releases Agartha and Faded while placing his melodic direction in a more intimate setting. The release also arrives as ZeroThree prepares a stronger 2026 run for Against All Ødds, with several singles and collaborations already lined up after past support from Korolova, Miss Monique, Henri Bergmann, Magit Cocoon, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren.

The Original Vocal Gives Echo Silence Its Main Emotional Thread
Echo Silence works around an original vocal, giving Against All Ødds a more song-focused release within his melodic and progressive sound. The writing points straight into the mood of the record, with lines like “midnight falling, lights are calling” setting up the late-night feeling before “we are burning, we are turning, into nothing, into everything” brings in a stronger sense of tension and release. The vocal does not feel separate from the production, which matters for a track moving between progressive house, melodic techno, and trance. It gives the record a human focus while the production keeps the track moving with enough space for the vocal to stay present.
That also connects with how Against All Ødds described the idea behind Echo Silence. He said he had wanted for a long time to make “a low-tempo track with an emotional vocal,” something he could keep replaying on long drives while still making it radio-friendly and open across genres. That detail gives the single a more specific frame because it shows the track was not only written for club use. The layered build still gives Echo Silence its melodic record structure, but the vocal remains the part that carries the listener through the track. For Against All Ødds, it adds another side to his ZeroThree catalogue without moving away from the progressive and melodic lane that the label has supported across his recent releases.
Against All Ødds’ ZeroThree Run Continues Beyond Agartha And Faded
Echo Silence continues Against All Ødds’ relationship with ZeroThree after earlier releases including Agartha and Faded, but the release does more than add another title to his label catalogue. With several singles and collaborations already planned for 2026, ZeroThree appears to be positioning him for a longer run instead of treating this as a one-off return. That gives Echo Silence a specific place in the artist’s current phase, where his melodic and progressive direction is being developed through repeated releases on the same imprint. The single also gives that rollout a more vocal-focused entry, which separates it from being discussed only through label history or genre placement.
The outside support around Against All Ødds also adds weight to the wider picture without turning the section into a name list. His previous releases have already reached artists across connected melodic, progressive, and trance circles, including Korolova, Miss Monique, Henri Bergmann, Magit Cocoon, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren. That support matters because it shows his music has already travelled through the same circuit where ZeroThree has built much of its identity. With Echo Silence, the label connection now feels less like a basic release credit and more like part of a longer artist development push heading into 2026.
Echo Silence Marks The Next Step In Against All Ødds’ ZeroThree Chapter
With Echo Silence, Against All Ødds gives the release enough detail to work beyond a simple melodic record. The track has a slower pace, a vocal that stays easy to follow, and a layered production style that keeps the emotion of the single connected to its club structure. That balance is important because the record is not relying on one element alone. The vocal gives it its most direct point of connection, while the production keeps the track aligned with the melodic and progressive sound that has made his ZeroThree releases part of his current direction.
The single also gives Against All Ødds a strong point to move from as ZeroThree prepares more music around him across 2026. Instead of closing this chapter with only one release, Echo Silence points toward a longer run of singles and collaborations already planned between the artist and the label. For listeners following his recent catalogue, it adds another side to his sound without stepping away from the emotional and melodic lane he has been developing. Stream Echo Silence now.
EDC Korea reveals October 2026 lineup featuring Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher and Sara Landry, who are set to play at Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon
Global dance music experience curator Insomniac, in partnership with One Pulse Group, has announced the artist lineup for the 2026 edition of EDC Korea. Taking place from October 3 to 4, 2026, the festival returns to Incheon for its third edition at Inspire Entertainment Resort, where more than 70 artists will perform across four stages. This year’s lineup includes Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Sara Landry, Alok, ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, Vini Vici, W&W, TroyBoi, Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, KREAM, R3HAB and more. The October dates also place the festival during Korea’s National Foundation Day and China’s National Golden Week, giving regional fans a more convenient travel window while bringing the festival into cooler weather.
A Closer Look At The EDC Korea 2026 Lineup
The EDC Korea 2026 lineup brings together some of the biggest names currently touring across the international festival circuit, with Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Alok, R3HAB and W&W all set to play in Incheon this October. Tiësto and DJ Snake give the announcement immediate global weight, while Fisher brings the kind of house booking that has become a major pull at large scale electronic festivals in recent years. Alok adds another major mainstage name with a strong international following, while W&W and R3HAB keep the lineup connected to the big room and festival sound that has long been part of the EDC identity. One of the most notable bookings is ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, which brings together two artists with deep ties to melodic bass and a very loyal Asian fanbase, making it one of the sets likely to draw heavy attention when the festival takes over Inspire Entertainment Resort.

Beyond the first wave of headline names, the lineup also goes deep into bass music, techno, trance and hard dance, giving the 2026 edition more range across its four stages. Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, KAYZO, Wooli, Level Up, Jessica Audiffred, ALLEYCVT and BOU bring a heavy bass presence, while Sara Landry, 999999999, Nico Moreno, OGUZ, Lilly Palmer, Charlie Sparks and Marie Vaunt place techno and hard techno firmly into the festival’s programming. Trance also has a strong role through Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, Nifra and Vini Vici, while Ben Nicky presents XTREME, Brennan Heart, Coone and Anime bring harder sounds into the weekend. The Korean and regional side of the lineup is also part of the announcement, with Cheez & Yuka, DAVICO B3B DEMUK B3B DEPARTS, Casepeat x Purple Rabbit, HOHO ONE, Paul Eun, Sungyoo, Youna and Zena appearing alongside the international names, giving EDC Korea a lineup that speaks to both overseas festival travelers and fans already connected to the local scene.
Insomniac Stage Takeovers At EDC Korea 2026
The 2026 edition will also feature curated stage takeovers from several Insomniac brands, with Basscon, Bassrush Experience, Dreamstate Presents, Electrik Seoul, Insomniac Records and Mutate all included in the announcement. Basscon brings hard dance into the weekend, linking directly with artists such as Ben Nicky presents XTREME, Brennan Heart, Coone and Anime, while Bassrush Experience fits the heavier bass side of the lineup through Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, KAYZO, Wooli, Level Up, Jessica Audiffred and ALLEYCVT. Dreamstate Presents gives trance a dedicated stage presence at EDC Korea 2026, with Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, Nifra and Vini Vici already part of the lineup. Electrik Seoul also gives the Korean edition a brand connected to the local market, while Insomniac Records and Mutate bring more of the wider Insomniac festival world into Incheon.
Across four stages at Inspire Entertainment Resort, these takeovers make the weekend feel closer to the wider EDC format, where each stage usually carries its own sound and audience. The names announced for Basscon, Bassrush Experience and Dreamstate Presents also show how much of the festival has been planned around genre identity, not only around the biggest names at the top of the poster. For a lineup that moves from Tiësto, DJ Snake and Fisher to Sara Landry, Subtronics, Aly & Fila and ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, the stage takeovers give each part of the festival more context once the weekend begins. It also keeps EDC Korea tied to Insomniac’s international festival language while giving the Incheon edition space for Korean and regional artists through names such as Electrik Seoul, Cheez & Yuka, Paul Eun, Sungyoo, Youna and Zena.
Tickets And Festival Details
Two day GA and VIP tickets for EDC Korea 2026 are now on sale through the official EDC Korea website. The festival will take place from October 3 to 4, 2026 at Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon, bringing the event back for its third edition with more than 70 artists across four stages. The move to October gives the festival a different seasonal position in Korea, with cooler weather and dates that also sit around Korea’s National Foundation Day and China’s National Golden Week.
For EDC Korea, the 2026 edition now has its main framework in place, from the headline names and genre focused bookings to the Insomniac stage takeovers spread across the weekend. With Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Sara Landry, ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, Alok and more included in the lineup, the October event gives Incheon one of its biggest dance music weekends of the year.
Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14, along with five others.
Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14. The crash, which occurred in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood in the southwest zone of the city, claimed six lives in total. The news was confirmed by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro.
Oliver Tree was in Brazil as part of his ongoing world tour, having performed in São Paulo on June 6. His next scheduled date was set for Lisbon, Portugal on July 13, marking the start of the European leg of the tour. His last Instagram post, shared on Saturday the 13th, showed him in a studio with other artists.
What Happened in Rio de Janeiro
Two helicopters collided in the air before crashing into an electric vehicle yard on Avenida das Américas in Recreio dos Bandeirantes on Sunday morning, according to preliminary information from the Fire Department. The impact set approximately 20 parked cars alight. Six people were killed in total: five aboard one helicopter and the pilot of the second aircraft.
The confirmed victims are Oliver Tree Nickel (passenger), Lucas Vignale (passenger), Gaspar Prim (passenger), Lucas Brito Chaves (passenger), Alexandre Souza (pilot), and Charles Marsillac (pilot). Among those killed was Gaspar Prim, known online as Gaspi, an Argentine YouTuber with nearly 7.5 million followers.
The case is being handled by the 42nd Police District in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Brazil’s Air Force, through its Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA), has been deployed to the site to conduct the initial investigation. Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has also confirmed it is looking into the circumstances involving the aircraft and pilots.
Oliver Tree’s Impact on Music
Oliver Tree had built one of the more distinctive careers in modern music, blending alternative, pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that defied easy categorization. He had nearly 20 million followers across social media and more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with tracks accumulating over 700 million streams on the platform. His collaborations across the electronic music world made him a familiar name in the EDM space, and his personality and visual identity made him impossible to ignore regardless of genre.
Our thoughts are with his family, his collaborators, his fans, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
Martin Garrix has teased a brand new collaboration with Madonna titled Bizarre, premiering the track at his New York show ahead of her upcoming album release in 18 days.
Martin Garrix appears to have teased a brand new collaboration with Madonna, with the track reportedly set to feature on her upcoming album due in 18 days. Garrix premiered the song at his New York show, where the vocals were widely noted to sound like Madonna, before confirming the collaboration at the afterparty. The track is titled “Bizarre,” a name that also appears on Madonna’s forthcoming album tracklist. If confirmed, this would represent one of the most unexpected crossovers in recent dance music history.
Martin Garrix Premiered “Bizarre” at His New York Show
Garrix debuted the track during his New York show, where attendees noted the vocals sounded immediately recognizable as Madonna. He did not make any announcement about the collaboration during the main show itself, keeping the reveal for the afterparty, where he got on the mic and confirmed it was a collab with Madonna.
The timing lines up with Madonna’s upcoming album, which is due in 18 days and reportedly includes a track carrying the same title. The overlap between the two projects strongly suggests the versions are one and the same, though neither camp has issued a formal press release at the time of writing.
The Collab Fits Everything Garrix Has Said About His New Album
This follows a string of interviews in which Garrix said his new album would feature collaborations with artists he never thought he would work with. Madonna fits that framing exactly. She is one of the most iconic figures in pop music history with very little prior crossover into the electronic dance music world, making a collaboration with a DJ and producer of Garrix’s generation genuinely unexpected.
It also follows his high-profile collab with Ed Sheeran, which had been over a decade in the making and signaled that Garrix was thinking beyond the typical boundaries of the genre when putting together this album era. A Madonna feature, if confirmed, would take that approach even further.
What We Know So Far
At this stage, the collaboration has not been officially announced through press channels. What is known is that Garrix premiered the track live in New York, confirmed the collab at the afterparty, and that both his project and Madonna’s upcoming album share the title “Bizarre.” Madonna’s album is set to arrive in 18 days. No release date for the Garrix version has been confirmed independently, though the timing suggests the two could land together or very close to one another.
