Jack Wins And Joe Stone Collide On The Brilliant ‘Light Up My Life’!

In a blaze of inspiration, Dutch DJ/producers Jack Wins and Joe Stone have teamed up to deliver a powerful slice of dance energy. ‘Light Up My Life’ is as refreshing as you can imagine, bursting out with sweet house rhythms and catchy melodies, nicely bridging gaps between classic filter house, cool contemporary dance and silky Madonna hooks – approved by the Queen of Pop herself. Get ready to light up your life with this undeniably uplifting summer anthem.

Expect nothing less than brilliance from Jack Wins and Joe Stone, two artists who’ve been making steady waves these last years with their releases. On their own account, they’ve kept a steady touch on the pulse of modern dance music, always combining classic house grooves and timeless pop vocals with tightly produced electronic sounds.

And now, two artists specialized in bringing together the best of different worlds, teaming up for the first time ever to work on an official sample from a Madonna hit? Yes, this is happening for real. Following 14 months of clearing the sample, the sign recently turned green including the approval of Madonna herself to use lyrics from her 1987 hit ‘Who’s That Girl’, a huge pop classic that reached #1 in nine countries, including the US and UK as well as #1 in Europe’s Airplay Chart. From there on, things could only get better.

As a matter of fact, Jack Wins and Joe Stone have delivered a truly magnificent tune with ‘Light Up My Life’. Bursting out with the famous lyrics from ‘Who’s That Girl’ the beat fulfills the expectation with its uptempo and ecstatic rhythm, diving deep into filtered effects every chance it gets, while blazing away together with sweet synth chords.

Halfway through the song, the vocals extend with Madonna’s questioning “who’s that girl” lyrics, subtly honoring the ever-growing LHBTQ community, followed by the tropically sounding melodies, inspired by the original song. As the beat keeps pumping, it seems like the perfect counterweight for the nostalgic pop sounds, honorably making way for their recognizable character, but keeping the energy close to nowadays dance music.

Jack Wins and Joe Stone know how to work a sample, together they seem like the dream team lifting Madonna’s pop classic to a fresh, 2021 dance extravaganza. It’s upbeat, it’s positive, it’s an anthem for every person, gender, and orientation out there. In short, a tune to fall in love with.

“I have fond memories as a 9-year-old travelling with my parents and my sister to the South of France for our summer holiday. Sitting in the back of the car with my sister listening to Madonna on her Walkman and singing along to her hits (not always in tune, which used to annoy me). Fast Forward to 2018 and I’m driving in my car through London, listening to the radio and ‘Who’s that girl’ comes on by Madonna. When it hits the ‘bridge’ of the track where Madonna sings ‘Light up My Life’, I just remember thinking that I had to do something with this special hook. It took me a day or so to get the idea down, but it has taken another 2 years to get it to Madonna and get her personal approval’. I’m just really happy that Madonna likes it and that it is finally going to see the light of day! Definitely feels like we’re winning with this one!” – says Jack Wins

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.

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.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.

‘Off-Cuts (2014–2021)’ is out now on Plexus Records.
