Celebrating 9 Years of Tiësto & The Chainsmokers’ Hit ‘Split (Only U)’
Dutch legend Tiësto has proven time and again that he remains a dominant force in the EDM world. In 2015, he teamed up with The Chainsmokers to create ‘Split (Only U)’, a track that instantly ignited dance floors around the globe. Released on August 31, 2015, this high-energy single quickly became a staple in both artists’ sets, racking up over 100 million streams.
The track kicks off with a powerful breakdown that transitions into a trap-infused beat, setting the stage for a heavy bass drop that drives the crowd into a frenzy. ‘Split (Only U)’ showcased Tiësto‘s ability to stay ahead of trends and collaborate with rising stars, while also helping to elevate The Chainsmokers as they ascended to global stardom.
If you’ve been a fan of EDM for the past two decades, you’ve undoubtedly encountered the work of Tiësto. A pioneer in the electronic music scene, Tiësto has consistently evolved his style to stay at the forefront of the industry, cementing his status as an EDM legend.
The Chainsmokers, the Grammy Award-winning and Billboard chart-topping duo, have since become a dominating musical force. Comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, their versatile sound seamlessly blends indie, progressive, and pop elements, making them one of music’s hottest recording artists today.

RENESIS Explores Rebirth And Power In Her Futuristic Single ‘SAKURA’
RENESIS releases “SAKURA,” a cinematic cyberpunk anthem inspired by rebirth and transformation, out now on Spotify and Beatport.
Los Angeles–based producer, singer, and DJ RENESIS continues to redefine the sound of futuristic electronic music with her standout single “SAKURA.” Fusing powerful basslines, glitched percussion, and soaring vocal textures, SAKURA embodies the beauty of transformation: the moment when fragility becomes strength, and chaos becomes creation.
Inspired by the Japanese cherry blossom that blooms for only a short time each year, SAKURA captures the idea of rebirth through impermanence. The track opens with delicate melodies that slowly give way to thunderous drops and metallic energy, reflecting the duality at the heart of the RENESIS sound – elegance meeting raw intensity in a neon-lit storm.
Supported by prominent names across the scene, including Extra Terra, Max Brhon, Rogue VHS, and Lazerpunk, RENESIS has quickly become one of the most compelling artists shaping the cyberpunk electronic movement. Her catalog has accumulated over one million streams worldwide, and her performances across the U.S., Canada, and Japan have showcased her ability to transform a stage into a full-blown cybernetic experience.
With SAKURA, RENESIS continues to blur the line between music and cinematic storytelling, delivering an anthem that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Stream “SAKURA” now on all major platforms and step into the neon world of RENESIS.
Follow her journey on Instagram, Spotify, and YouTube for the next chapter of her expanding cyberpunk universe.

For Labels and Artists: WARM radio data is driving innovation, networking and growth in the Dance Music Scene
As we move into the last quarter of 2025, it’s clear that radio continues to play a pivotal—yet often underestimated—role in shaping the global music landscape.
WARM is redefining how radio airplay data powers the dance music industry—turning plays into insights that fuel growth for labels, artists, and promoters.
WARM (We Are Radio Monitoring) is a global platform that provides real-time tracking and analysis of radio airplay across thousands of stations worldwide. Designed for artists, labels, publishers, booking agencies, and other music professionals, the tool delivers detailed data on where and when a song is played, offering insights into geographic reach, frequency, and market response.
By collecting and organising this information into personalised reports, WARM enables users to identify patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as unexpected spikes in catalogue plays, regional trends, or the impact of viral moments on traditional media.
Trusted by Ninja Tune, Defected, Good Intent and other companies in the market, WARMM trackS global radio spins across more than 22.000 stations worldwide. WARM provides professionals with the tools to spot trends, measure impact, and expand their reach. In 2025, the company paired this data with new charts, a global radio show, and industry events, cementing radio’s role as a driver of visibility and connection in electronic music.
The Global Dance Radio Chart became a weekly radio show broadcasted by more than 40 radio stations worldwide
WARM has partnered up with Syndicast to produce a weekly dance radio show based on the top20 global dance radio chart, hosted by Rudy Cassago and Lele Zambe.
The show has been running now for 5 weeks, and already has +2 mio listeners via 40+ radio shows. The show is broadcasted on radios like: Moove Ibiza radio, Pulse, Beat and Primal Fm, as well as multiple podcasts. Radios can join the network here.
Using the charts as foundation for a radio show opens up much more value for the artists and labels, as they not only get the recognition through being on the charts, they also get additional radio plays on the radios that have added the weekly show, as well as actual mentions by the radio hosts.
The global dance radio chart is curated through 160 dance-focused radios, based on 24/7 monitoring across 30 countries, and continues to serve as the ultimate barometer of what’s truly resonating in global dance music. The chart is based on radios such as: 538 dance department, Rinse, Dublab, Ibiza Sonica, Loca FM and BBC1.

African Radio Chart: Spotlight on Continental Gems
Launched as part of our global genre-based series, the African Chart reflects the most played radio tracks across the continent, combining real-time airplay data from major broadcasters and key 650 stations. It serves as a vital link between Africa’s dynamic music scenes and the wider international market—enabling artists, labels, and tastemakers to spot emerging hits and regional movements early. The chart offers timely insights into the sounds shaping the future.
“The first 6 months of the year have been hectic to say the least. We began the year with launching both 3 new radio airplay charts, a radio show, a new dance music conference in Lisbon, our annual IMS pre-mixer at IMS as well as a new subscription model and an API for bigger customers. I can’t wait to release what we have for H2, which includes various product updates, conferences and events. A big thanks goes out to all our customers and partners who value accurate radio data. Let’s keep pushing for transparency and clarity around radio”, says Jesper Skibsby (picture) CEO and Founder of WARM.
Events play a key role on WARM’s initiatives:

WARM presented its first conference and it was a successful debut in Lisbon that has established the event as a key meeting point for global and local professionals in the electronic music industry.
Held on April 5th, the event brought together artists, label executives, promoters, and rights organizations for a full day of panels, workshops, and networking. With discussions ranging from music rights and artist development to mental health and international promotion, WARM offered a unique platform for meaningful dialogue and practical insights.
Leading industry players such as Beatport, Labelworx, Unison and Groover contributed to the program, reinforcing the event’s relevance on both local and international levels. The strong turnout and positive feedback underscore the growing importance of collaborative spaces that bridge regional talent with the global music ecosystem. The second edition will be announced for April 2026.

WARM Villa @ IMS x Beatport, Ibiza
The first half of 2025 was highlighted by an electrifying pre‑IMS (International Music Summit) gathering: WARM Villa @ IMS Ibiza, organized in partnership with Beatport. As a flagship event in April, it united artists, industry visionaries, and media influencers to discuss the evolution of dance radio, the path to global hits, and the power of real‑time airplay data.
This gathering not only fostered meaningful connections but also reinforced WARM’s identity as a data-driven thought leader in dance music.
New subscription model and API is now available
WARM launched a new subscription model for all new users, which offers more features, more historical data, better pricing and a better user experience. The trial has been upgraded to 30 days, where you can select any songs in the world, and keep track of the radio airplay.
At the same time, we have released an enterprise API for customers with bigger catalogs or integrations.

In the Press
WARM’s insights and charts have gained international visibility, with recent features in DJ Mag, EDM House Network, Mixmag and several other respected media outlets across Europe, the Americas, and Africa. These spotlights reflect the growing relevance of radio airplay data in today’s music ecosystem and reinforce WARM’s position as a trusted resource for tracking and understanding global music trends.

New Music Venue “77” Coming To Central London This September
77 London is a new venue for electronic music, offering top-tier sound and design for an unforgettable experience.
Hidden beneath Welbeck Street, 77 is the newest addition to London’s nightlife landscape. Opening this September, the 550-capacity venue is purpose built to host live events, combining world-class sound, advanced production and a layout designed for connection between artists and audiences. With extended DJ sets, live performances and a focus on hospitality, 77 positions itself as a central London space where music and culture meet in a way rarely seen in the city.
Design and Sound at 77
77 has been built around sound quality, with a full L-Acoustics system and KS21 subs providing warmth and clarity across the room. The venue is fully soundproofed and acoustically treated, giving DJs and live acts the freedom to push their sets without compromise. This attention to detail ensures that every performance, from extended DJ sets to intimate live shows, can be heard exactly as intended.

The design of 77 adds another layer to the experience. Robe lighting, lasers, CO₂ jets, strobes and LED screens bring a visual impact usually found in much larger spaces, while the split-level layout includes a mezzanine with direct views of the dance floor. VIP tables are spread across both levels with full-service hospitality, creating a balance between high-level production and a space that still feels personal and connected.

What to Expect From the Music at 77
The music direction at 77 is built around both live acts and DJs, giving the venue a wide reach across London’s nightlife and cultural scene. Weeknights will welcome live performances, while weekends focus on electronic music, including extended and all-night DJ sets that are rarely offered elsewhere in the city. This approach allows artists to go beyond the standard format and create a deeper connection with the audience.
Behind the programming is Eniz Hilmi, known for his work with Rinse FM, Mas Tiempo and major UK festivals. His vision is to bring a balance of global names and innovative performers into a space designed to highlight their craft. By encouraging longer performances and a variety of formats, 77 aims to provide music experiences that feel distinctive in London, setting the stage for both established and emerging talent.
Who’s Bringing 77 to Life
Behind 77 is a group of industry figures who have each left a mark on London nightlife in different ways. Jonathan Wade brings years of experience as a nightlife veteran and former Tao Group executive, while Eniz Hilmi adds his background as a tastemaker and programmer with credits at Rinse FM, Mas Tiempo and some of the UK’s major festivals. Alongside them is Sebastian Banovic, whose hospitality career spans well-known venues such as KOKO, The Roof Gardens and Tramp.
Together they combine music programming, venue management and hospitality expertise to create a space designed for both artists and audiences. Their aim is not only to introduce a new venue but also to set a new standard for how nightlife can operate in central London, bringing live music and hospitality under one roof in a way that feels intentional and lasting.
77’s Place in London Nightlife
London has no shortage of iconic venues, but 77 aims to carve out a different role within the city’s nightlife. Its underground setting, mid-size capacity and focus on sound quality give it a character that sits between large-scale clubs and smaller intimate spaces. By offering extended sets and a flexible format that supports both DJs and live acts, the venue opens up possibilities rarely found in central London.
Beyond music programming, 77 is designed as a setting for cultural crossover. With a fully soundproofed and modular layout, it can host album launches, fashion events and brand activations. This adaptability reflects a wider vision: to create a space where different parts of London’s creative scene can meet under one roof while keeping the connection between artists and audiences at the core.
77 opens to the public on Friday, 26 September at 77 Welbeck Street, W1G 0BB. With a focus on sound, design and hospitality, the venue looks set to add something new to London’s nightlife calendar.
