Grace Gachot Talks About Her Single ‘It’s A Fine Day’ With Tube & Berger, FIVE Music, Plans For 2022 & More!
Having just launched their brand new record label in 2021, FIVE Music, FIVE Hotels & Resorts were keen to make their mark on the international dance music scene and they’ve done just that. Their award-winning hotel in Dubai plays host to some major events and parties, most recently inviting German house stars Tube & Berger and vocalist Grace Gachot to perform and celebrate the release of their single ‘It’s A Fine Day’. To celebrate this release, we had the pleasure of speaking with Grace about all things FIVE, working with Tube & Berger, her plans for 2022, and more.
Hey Grace, thanks for taking the time to speak with us! Let’s kick things off with your brand new single ‘It’s A Fine Day’ alongside Tube & Berger. How happy are you with the finished product?
Hi! Of course! I’m so pleased with the final version, Tube & Berger did an incredible job at marrying this beautiful catchy hook with their modernised, fresh production. ‘It’s A Fine Day’ is a cover and the idea to reinterpret the song came from Berger, so I really let them take the lead and trusted in them to produce and guide the song the best way they saw fit.
Tube & Berger have been a major part of the electronic dance music scene for several years. What was it like to work alongside these two talented artists?
It was really great. I had no idea what to expect when we flew to Germany to cut the vocals but they were such a joy to work with. Since then, I have especially kept a close relationship with Tube and we have virtually spoken everyday since our first session (over a year ago now!) We always say he is like the uncle I never had and I know we will be friends and collaborators for life. I am so grateful to have met and worked with these two talents.
The single pays tribute to a true classic, how did it feel to give this single a modern touch?
Yes! There is definitely an added pressure when it is someone else’s baby you’re handling! Initially, I tried out a couple of different vocal interpretations (some more powerful, some with more edge) but in the end, we kept going back to the pure and dreamy delivery that the original vocal holds. Tube & Berger did an incredible job making the production feel so fresh.
The single finds its home as the second release on FIVE Music. How does it feel to be on one of the early releases on this label?
It’s really exciting. FIVE is such a unique brand with an unorthodox approach to all that they do. I truly admire and respect the way they just make things happen! I have a close relationship with the whole team at FIVE. We are all motivated by passion and the love of what we do. It means so much to do this all together and I am honored to be a part of this crazy family.
You had the chance to soak in everything that FIVE has to offer over the past couple of weeks. What is the atmosphere and vibe around the place?
FIVE has an electric atmosphere, there is always something going on. It’s young, fresh and alive – there is so much music playing in every corner of the hotel! One word that I think sums up the way you feel at FIVE is ‘happiness’ – it is clear that their priority is the experience of their guests. There is also a feeling of freedom which runs through the hotel. Every detail around the place is perfected to an incredibly high standard – from the beach party ‘Bohemia’ to the evenings at The Penthouse – you will have a great time!
FIVE is becoming known as one of the go-to destinations in the world, would you agree with this?
For sure! Every time I visit, I am overwhelmed by the amount of different cultures and interesting people I come across. It really is a hub for people from all around the world. I think it’s beautiful that so many people from different walks of life can unite in one place and share their experiences with others.
After a tough year for all of the music industry, how has your 2021 been?
It’s been up and down. The year started in a lockdown which felt super long but ever since then it has been getting busier and busier. I try to take the positive out of the quieter times because they gave me the chance to be able to put my head down and truly focus on my vision. That being said, the last few months have been hectic and I have definitely worked myself more than I ever have done in my life.
Do you have any special plans incoming for 2022?
Yes for sure! This will be my first year sharing music so I am so excited for this to start happening! I have worked for so long on the songwriting side of things, that there is a whole other side of this world that I haven’t experienced yet. I have a couple of things up my sleeve that I can’t wait to share in 2022!! On another note, we have just filmed the second music video for my next FIVE release which was shot at one of FIVE’s signature locations by Ray Kay – the award-winning music video director who’s done videos for artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, and Britney Spears! It was one of the biggest honours of my career to work alongside him and I can’t wait for this to be released in 2022. Stay tuned 🙂

Mathilde SPZ teams up with Ayko and George on the brand new single Don’t Quit via Langhewood Records.
Norway’s dynamic artist and songwriter Mathilde SPZ joins forces with Italian DJ and electronic music producer Ayko and emerging talent George to release their new single “Don’t Quit” on Langhewood Records, out now.
Mathilde SPZ is a commanding presence in the Norwegian music scene, having performed at major festivals including Øya, Stavern, Slottsfjell, Pstereo, and Findings across multiple projects. In 2024, she lit up the stage at Melodi Grand Prix, Norway’s national Eurovision finals, with her electrifying performance of “Woman Show”. With a decade of experience as one of Norway’s most sought-after live performers, Mathilde’s master’s degree in live performance sets her apart as a unique force on the club stage.
A songwriter from a young age, Mathilde began crafting pop songs at just nine years old, but her heart lies in EDM, house, and dance music. Her solo career launched in 2022, and she quickly amassed approximately 70,000 monthly Spotify listeners with over 3 million streams to date. Her previous releases have featured on influential editorial playlists such as New Music Daily (Apple Music), New Music Friday (Spotify in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Finland), EQUAL Norway, and “Ny Pop.” Her single “Losing Game” has also been viewed over 130,000 times on YouTube. Mathilde continues to expand her reach with collaborations across the globe, bringing her explosive energy and powerful vocals to the international club scene.
Italian producer Ayko (Francesco Dogliani) brings his signature blend of melodic techno, house, and dance music to the collaboration. Drawing inspiration from 1980s British pop, Italo disco, and 1990s rave culture, Ayko has developed a sound defined by melodic depth, rhythmic complexity, and eclectic instrumentation. Beginning his career in Turin, Italy, Ayko has performed at legendary venues including Space, Sankeys, and Privilege in Ibiza. In 2021, he founded Langhewood Records, a UK-based independent label dedicated to original electronic music, which has become a platform for his releases and a nurturing ground for emerging artists.
The collaboration is rounded out by George, an emerging electronic music artist whose deep house and melodic house sensibilities complement Mathilde’s powerful vocals and Ayko’s rich production, creating a track that promises to resonate on both festival stages and dance floors worldwide.
The release of “Don’t Quit” is accompanied by a visually striking music video created using DREAMOTICA, the generative visual language developed by Emanuele Del Fio and Viktoria Blank. Translating the song’s message of resilience into imagery, the video becomes a hypnotic fusion of light, motion, and emotion, where sound shapes color and form. Each frame is born from musical stimuli and digital artistry, achieving harmony between technology and human sensitivity. Through this collaboration, Langhewood Records and the DREAMOTICA team present a groundbreaking audiovisual experience that merges music, art, and introspection, pushing the boundaries of contemporary visual storytelling.
New York-based DJ, producer, and violinist Kozlow returns with ‘Find a Way’, a hypnotic new collaboration with ForgiveMeTommy!, out via his ANTHR FCKNG PARTY (AFP) imprint.
Kozlow continues his breakthrough year with ‘Find a Way’, a deep and driving underground anthem that blends groove, tension, and emotion in perfect balance. Built on a pulsating bassline, percussive synths, and a catchy vocal hook, the track embodies the essence of AFP’s ethos, raw, immersive, and designed for both dance floors and headphones.
Following the success of ‘Cowboy Killers’, this new release cements Kozlow’s evolving sound, one that fuses underground minimalism with melodic sophistication. The single also marks the next chapter for his acclaimed NYC-born party-turned-label, ANTHR FCKNG PARTY, which has gained early support from heavyweights like Mau P, Skream, Solomun, CamelPhat, Jamie Jones, and Marco Carola.
Speaking on the release, Kozlow shared: “‘Find a Way’ has a bass line that’ll knock your socks off — whether you’re in a club or pretending your living room is one. It’s a dirty, driving record with bite, and I’m hyped to unleash it on AFP.”
Kozlow’s upcoming shows include ANTHR FCKNG PARTY at White Lodge (Nov 1), and Outer Heaven (Nov 8), where ‘Find a Way’ is sure to light up NYC’s underground dance floors.
