The competition invites Change the Beat’s community to remix Sara Landry and Alex Farell’s ‘Angel Dust’, with the winning submission considered for an official release on HEKATE Records.

‘Angel Dust’ Remix Competition

Alongside the release opportunity, the competition will offer prizes from Native Instruments, with first place receiving a Komplete 15 Collector’s Edition, second place receiving Komplete 15 Ultimate and third place receiving Komplete 15 Standard. Participants can also access Native Instruments’ Komplete Start, a free collection of instruments and effects.

Submissions are open until Monday, October 5th, 2026 at 23:59 PST, with full contest details, rules and stems available via the LabelRadar contest portal.

Change the Beat’s latest remix competition builds on significant momentum for the organisation, following its recent pledge to support 300 women and gender expansive electronic music artists in securing label opportunities by 2028. Having already facilitated more than 100 label opportunities and signings through its evolving network of labels, artists and industry partners, the organisation continues to develop new routes for its community to access the wider electronic music industry.

Sydney Blu comments:

“We’re so excited at Change the Beat to be hosting the remix contest for Sara Landry and Alex Farell’s incredible record, ‘Angel Dust,’ and to have the opportunity to discover and spotlight three amazing emerging women producers through this project. 

Sara has really inspired me with the way she’s used her platform to champion other women in electronic music. Watching her bring the Blood Oath artists on stage with her at Coachella and create that kind of visibility on one of the biggest stages in the world was incredibly inspiring. That spirit of opening doors and bringing other artists with you is so aligned with what we’re building at Change the Beat, which makes this collaboration feel especially meaningful.”

Change the Beat Artist Development Programmes

Alongside its Remix Contest Programme, Change the Beat is continuing its artist development initiatives, including The Demo Room, which gives participating labels the opportunity to showcase their sound and A&R priorities while providing artists with a direct route to submit music, receive feedback and connect with industry decision-makers. In parallel, Change the Beat’s Going Global programme further supports artists looking to build sustainable international careers.

The organisation’s relaunched Remix Contest Programme has created official remix and release opportunities for emerging artists through collaborations with leading electronic music labels and artists. Recent partners include SIPPY, DeadBeats, Westend, Trace Amounts and now Sara Landry’s HEKATE Records, alongside previous partners including Drumcode, mau5trap, Armada, Anjunadeep, Anjunabeats, HE.SHE.THEY, Insomniac Records, Nervous Records and Toolroom Records. Artists connected to the programme have also worked on projects involving artists including deadmau5, Nicole Moudaber, Eli & Fur, Crystal Waters, Ultra Naté, Maya Jane Coles, DJ Minx, VNSSA, Giorgia Angiuli and Azzecca.

For Change the Beat, the ‘Angel Dust’ competition represents a significant new step in their work, connecting its community with one of the most influential names in the current Techno movement and a label built around forward-thinking electronic music.

Change the Beat International Tour

Change the Beat will also soon announce an international Change the Beat tour, bringing its artist development and industry access programmes to cities across the U.S, Canada and Europe. Each tour date will combine live programming with practical workshops and industry panels, creating opportunities for artists to develop their skills, gain insight from industry professionals and build connections within their local electronic music communities.

New EDM Friday Sep 11 brings new music from David Guetta, Hypaton, Armin van Buuren, Pete Tong, Kaskade, Dillon Francis, and more.

New EDM Friday Sep 11 brings together new singles, crossover collaborations, remixes, and bass-heavy releases covering melodic techno, trance, house, bass music, dance pop, and electronic dance. From David Guetta and Hypaton with You and I, Me and You to Armin van Buuren and Pete Tong with Poppy Baskcomb on Toca’s Miracle, Kaskade with Satisfy You, Dillon Francis with Cry Myself to Sleep, the Monstercat vs. NCS 15 Year Showdown, and Tape B and Effin with I’ll Never Know, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.

David Guetta & Hypaton – You and I, Me and You

David Guetta and Hypaton reunite on You and I, Me and You, a new single through Atlantic and Warner Records that had already been tested across David Guetta’s summer shows. The track pairs soaring vocals and euphoric drops with the refrain “Me and you, together whatever we do,” continuing the nostalgic dance direction behind their partnership. It follows their official version of La Bouche’s Be My Lover, which has passed 350 million streams, along with recent 2026 releases involving Bonnie Tyler and RAYE that have also reached tens of millions of streams. After a summer that included UNVRS, Ushuaïa Ibiza, the Monolith tour, Stade de France, and Coachella’s Quasar stage, You and I, Me and You opens New EDM Friday Sep 11 with one of the week’s biggest dance releases.

Armin van Buuren & Pete Tong ft. Poppy Baskcomb – Toca’s Miracle

Armin van Buuren and Pete Tong revisit Toca’s Miracle with Poppy Baskcomb, bringing the classic trance record into this week’s New EDM Friday. The release is listed as Toca’s Miracle (Extended) on Beatport, with Armin van Buuren, Pete Tong, and Poppy Baskcomb credited on the track. The original Toca’s Miracle became one of dance music’s most recognizable early 2000s records, making this version another update of a track that has stayed close to trance and club culture for more than two decades. For Armin van Buuren, the release follows another busy run of trance-focused records, while Pete Tong brings his long-standing connection to dance music history into the collaboration. With Poppy Baskcomb adding the vocal presence, Toca’s Miracle brings a classic name back into New EDM Friday Sep 11 through a new 2026 version.

Kaskade ft. Bobby Harvey & Sam Harper – Satisfy You

Kaskade continues the ORIGIN// rollout with Satisfy You, a new vocal-forward house collaboration with Bobby Harvey and Sam Harper. The track brings modern house and UKG influences into the album’s final pre-release single, with Bobby Harvey adding production and songwriting while Sam Harper carries the vocal. Satisfy You follows recent ORIGIN// singles including Meet Again with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani, Comes Back Around with BUNT., A Little Bit with Crankdat, Runaway with GLOCKENBACH and Kaitlin Aragon, and Hear Me Now with Wooli and MAXINE. The release also follows Kaskade’s Coachella 2026 debut of the ORIGIN// live concept, where he introduced nine new songs alongside the next phase of his production. With ORIGIN// now nearing release, Satisfy You brings Kaskade back into New EDM Friday Sep 11 with the final single from the album rollout.

Dillon Francis – Cry Myself to Sleep

Dillon Francis brings a more emotional side into New EDM Friday Sep 11 with Cry Myself to Sleep, a new single through Monstercat and Broke Records. The track pairs a catchy vocal hook with euphoric production, turning heartbreak and late-night melancholy into something closer to his usual dancefloor world. It follows his recent run on Broke Records, including Make You Move, What It Feels Like with Daya, and RIDDEM with Allenora and America Foster. The release also comes ahead of a busy fall schedule, with upcoming stops including Gridlife Laguna Festival, Academy LA, Ember Shores, and DILLSTRADAMUS. With Cry Myself to Sleep, Dillon Francis brings one of this week’s more emotional dance releases into New EDM Friday Sep 11.

Tape B & Effin – I’ll Never Know

Tape B and Effin continue their creative run with I’ll Never Know, a new collaboration released ahead of Tape B’s debut album Ghost In The Static. The single brings together Tape B’s connection to classic dubstep and hip-hop influence with Effin’s use of detailed sampling, emotional songwriting, and nostalgic textures. It follows their 2025 collaboration Ups and Downs from Effin’s Daydreams album, as well as their unofficial remix of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black, which has passed 651K streams on SoundCloud. Tape B described I’ll Never Know as their third collaboration since early 2025 and said the track has been a highlight of his recent tour sets. With Ghost In The Static set for October 2, I’ll Never Know brings Tape B and Effin’s shared bass, hip-hop, and nostalgia-driven sound into New EDM Friday Sep 11.

Tiësto Revives ‘In Concert’ for 2027 Stadium Show

Tiësto brings back his legendary ‘In Concert’ concept with a four-hour stadium show at Legia Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on June 19, 2027

Tiësto officially announced the return of his iconic “Tiësto In Concert” concept, slated to take over the Legia Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on June 19, 2027.

The event is billed as a dedicated four-hour sonic journey through the Dutch legend’s vast discography. It will bridge the gap between his genre-defining trance roots and the crossover anthems that have dominated global charts and festival mainstages ever since.

The History Behind Tiësto In Concert

For longtime fans, the “In Concert” moniker carries serious weight. Back on May 10, 2003, Tiësto fundamentally changed the live electronic landscape at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. Up to that point, DJs operated almost exclusively in clubs, warehouse raves, or festival lineups. Tiësto became the first solo DJ to headline an entire stadium on his own. Armed with an eight-hour set, live vocalists, classical musicians, and arena-scale production, he drew a crowd of over 25,000 ravers. The spectacle was captured on an era-defining DVD that proved electronic acts could meet rock-star scale. Demand was so high that he returned to the GelreDome for two back-to-back editions in October 2004.

The original 2003 event ran through the night from 11 PM until 7 AM, with Tiësto joined by guest performers including Jan Johnston, Skin and Dinand Woesthoff. The concert was also broadcast live in the Netherlands by 3FM and ID&T Radio.

Tiësto Returns to the Stadium in 2027

​Now, over two decades after redefining what a stadium DJ show could look like, he is stepping back into that solo spotlight. Warsaw’s Legia Stadium is a venue capable of holding upwards of 30,000 fans for major concerts. It sets an ambitious stage for an artist whose career spans vinyl-only club sets to modern multi-genre stadium bangers.

The return also comes more than 23 years after the original Tiësto In Concert and more than 22 years after his two nights at the GelreDome in October 2004, where recordings show Tiësto once again played sets lasting around eight hours.

The announcement inevitably raises the burning question. Is Warsaw a standalone spectacle or the opening chapter of an “In Concert” world tour? With a full year of anticipation ahead, all eyes are on the Dutch master to see just how deep he digs into the vault.

Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Creamfields and they’re kicking off their lineup strong with one of the most influential bands of all time headlining the APEX stage. The Prodigy.

Their last appearance at Creamfields came in 2013 making for a painful 14 year wait for their return which will make their performance all the more historic. The revolutionary UK band has been headlining festivals around the world and recently completed a sold-out tour of the UK. Their ‘Warriors Dance’ tour of the UK alongside Carl Cox brought back that notorious 90s rave energy that everyone has waxed lyrical about for years. Their iconic hits like ‘Firestarter’, ‘Breathe’, and ‘Omen’ have been echoing across arenas making old school ravers and new fans alike charge headfirst into every mosh pit.

The Prodigy has delivered knock out performances around the globe and remain one of the most energetic and powerful live bands to ever grace the worlds stages. For Creamfields 2027 they’ll be stepping up onto one of the worlds biggest indoor stages as they head to the 30,000 capacity APEX stage. The trailblazing Liam Howlett and MC Maxim will be joined by their longstanding live members Leo Crabtree and Rob Holliday to bring the ruckus back to the fields.

The 30th anniversary of Creamfields is an enormous milestone and their making their intentions for a historic year very clear. If you want to make history you have to respect it and bringing in one of the most historic and revolutionary bands in history is the perfect start. Though Creamfields 2026 has barely been and gone, the anticipation for its next edition is already through the roof. With plenty more artists still to be announced and Creamfields’ ability to outdo themselves year on year, 2027 is sure to be another barnstormer of a year out in the fields.
