Keanu Silva Is Skyrocketing And He Is Not Coming Down [Interview]

What a year it has been for Keanu Silva! The guy who used to be Germany’s “best-kept secret”, has risen through the stars and he’s not planning to back down!
Keanu Silva started 2019 by teaming up with Don Diablo for a remake of the classic tune ‘King of My Castle’ which instantly turned out to be a worldwide dance smash. Following up with some solo productions such as ‘You Got The Love’ and several remixes for big artists like Felix Jaehn, The Chainsmokers, and Ava Max. To top things off, a slick collab with Laidback Luke happened when they combined forces for ‘Oh Yes’! Now, besides playing many international shows and releasing the remix of Ava Max’s ‘Freaking Me Out’, there are many exciting projects coming up for 2020!
During Amsterdam Dance Event 2019, Keanu Silva received an award at the 1001Tracklists event. As #23 in the top 101 producers list, he is the biggest new entry of 2019! On top of that, the remake of ‘King of My Castle’ became #4 Best Song of this year.
With performances at Miami Music Week, Tomorrowland, Sunrise Festival, Parookaville, New Horizons, Amsterdam Dance Event and in early December even in Bangkok at the 808 Festival, Keanu Silva is ready to concur the world!
Now, with an authentic and mysterious future house meets progressive sound, Keanu Silva is aiming to contend at the highest level in the dance industry. While receiving huge support from influential colleagues and dropping one slick production after another with a mellifluous signature sound, Keanu Silva is rising from the masses like a lightning bolt!
You can find the full interview below.
If you think about 2019, what have been your biggest highlights?
“Regarding shows, I would say Tomorrowland with Don Diablo, Sunrise Festival with a sick slot between TT and The Chainsmokers. Further, I have the 808 Festival in Bangkok coming up early December which I’m very excited about. And of course, entering the Top 101 Producers list of 1001Tracklists was amazing!”
You were the biggest new entry in the Top 101 Producers list at number 23. How does this make you feel?
“I was amazed to hear that I was the biggest new entry. Especially among such inspirational artists. So it truly means a lot to me. After working so hard, an award like this makes me very proud, grateful and above all, it keeps me motivated to work on my music. I’m excited to show everybody the stuff we are working on in 2020!”
At what moment did you start realizing things were turning around for you as a DJ/producer?
“I think it was once all the big guys reached out to me. At that moment, it really made me feel respected by them!”
When you are not working on your music or doing shows, what do you like to do?
“In my free time, I like to go to the gym, meeting with friends, etc. I think you need to keep doing these casual things to stay balanced, healthy and focused.”
You have been doing many shows in Poland lately, what is the thing you like most about playing there?
“I love the crazy party people in Poland! The crowds over there always give me so much energy and that makes playing shows in Poland amazing.”
Are you nervous before doing a show?
“I really love playing shows. I love to connect with my fans and experience their response to my music. So I would say that I am more excited than nervous before doing a show.”
Could you name one thing that you love most about doing shows?
“Yes, I absolutely love it when people recognize my songs and sing them with me! I think that’s the best part.”
What was the moment when you discovered that ‘King Of My Castle’ became such a success?
“At one point I saw that the streaming-numbers were growing and growing. That moment was just so unreal and very impressive! It was only then when I realized it was getting so big and for the track ending on #4 Best Songs of 2019 was just amazing!”
What did you like about Ava Max’s ‘Freaking Me Out’ that you wanted to remix the track?
“They actually reached out to me and asked for a remix of the track. I was truly feeling honored when the request came in and I am really happy with the final result :)!”
Which show in 2019 was your favorite one?
“Definitely Tomorrowland! I think it’s the dream of every DJ to play out there and the fact that I could play there was an unforgettable experience.”
What are your goals for the future?
“I want to focus on staying creative and doing my best to produce the music my fans will love. Additionally, I believe that the most important thing is to keep experimenting, while at the same time, staying true to your own style. I wouldn’t want to limit myself into one genre and I also feel that artists should always keep evolving their sound, just as we evolve ourselves as humans too. So who knows what will come up! :)”
How would you describe yourself as an artist in 3 words?
“Friendly, grounded and definitely hungry haha!”
Are there any tracks coming up soon and can you tell us a little bit about it?
As an artist, you are working on new music almost around the clock, but rarely 1% of it is getting released at the end. However, it’s that one percent that we are really looking forward to showing the world in 2020!”
If it could be anyone you can think of, who would you wanna collab with in the future?
“Hmm, there are so many amazing artists out there and it would be great to collab with some of them for sure. But for now, I’ll be focussing on some solo productions first :).”

New EDM Friday Releases You Cannot Miss, July 11, 2025

New EDM Friday is back once again with new music from Martin Garrix, Afrojack, David Guetta, Hardwell, Tiesto, and more.
New EDM Friday is overflowing with massive collabs, dance music anthems, and long-awaited albums that showcase just how wide the EDM landscape has become. From festival-sized anthems to underground club heat, here’s what you need to hear right now, another Friday, another stack of tracks ready to light up your playlists.
Afrojack, Martin Garrix, David Guetta & Amél – Our Time
Our first track of this week’s New EDM Friday kicks off with three of dance music’s most celebrated names, AFROJACK, Martin Garrix, and David Guetta, are joining forces for their first-ever collaboration, on ‘Our Time’. A high-energy EDM anthem featuring breakout producer Amél, the track is finally out Spinnin’ Records. It was first premiered by Afrojack and Martin Garrix at AMF during Amsterdam Dance Event and recently, the four joined the stage together live during Guetta’s ‘F** Me I’m Famous’ residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza, one of the most iconic and talked-about stages in global electronic music.
Hardwell & Atmozfears ft. Jaimes – Hideaway
Hardwell continues his resurgence with ‘Hideaway’, teaming up with hardstyle heavyweight Atmozfears and vocalist Jaimes. Much like their previous collab ‘All That We Are Living For’, the result is a high-octane blend of emotional hooks and thunderous kicks. Balancing melody and power, ‘Hideaway’ hits that sweet spot between trance-laced euphoria and raw hardstyle intensity. It’s mainstage energy at it’s finest.
SICK INDIVIDUALS x Matisse & Sadko x Third Party – Take Me There
Marking the launch of the newly formed 1001 Recordings, a joint venture between 1001Tracklists and Tomorrowland Music, ‘Take Me There’ is a massive progressive house anthem that sets the tone for a label built on dancefloor impact. This dream-team collab from SICK INDIVIDUALS, Matisse & Sadko, and Third Party channels pure mainstage euphoria, with soaring melodies and emotionally charged builds tailor-made for peak festival moments.
GØDMAX – Obssesed
Polish producer GØDMAX continues to blur genre lines with ‘Obsessed’, diving deeper into the shadowy world of melodic techno. Each year, GØDMAX has steadily evolved and with ‘Obsessed’ he taps into a darker, more hypnotic side of his sound, layering haunting leads and pulsing rhythms into a track that’s both emotionally resonant and club-ready. It’s another step forward for an artist who refuses to be boxed in, and a strong signal that his 2025 trajectory is only gaining momentum.
Martron – Resurgence EP
Martron, a classically trained musician turned electronic producer, drops his brand new ‘Resurgence’ EP. Blending trap, dancehall, and R&B, ‘Resurgence’ is a bold, emotional journey of self-discovery and resilience. The focus track ‘Always’ showcases his vocals, jazzy flutes, and a powerful spoken-word outro, cementing Martron as an artist unafraid to evolve and inspire.
OKAYVAL – Count Up
‘Count Up’ by OKAYVAL has been massively anticipated ever since she teased it on her social media and it’s now here via Meduza‘s ɅETERNɅ Records imprint. An extremely catchy number with a rhythmic bassline, this single is sure to put the OKAYVAL name on the map for those who were not aware before.
Chris Lake – Chemistry (ALBUM)
After over two decades of shaping the global house music scene, Chris Lake finally drops his highly anticipated debut album ‘Chemistry’ via his own Black Book Records. The 15-track collection is a masterclass in contemporary house, blending Chris Lake’s underground roots with high-impact, festival-tested energy. Featuring standout tracks like ‘Ease My Mind’, ‘Psycho’, ‘Savana’, and a brand-new collab with Bonobo titled ‘Falling’, the album showcases Chris Lake’s knack for pairing deep grooves with emotional resonance.
Onlynumbers ft. Lucie Hart – Euphoric Night (Tiësto Remix)
Our final track of New EDM Friday is Tiësto‘s flip of ‘Euphoric Night’ into a festival-ready weapon, bringing his big-room flair to Onlynumbers‘ dreamy original. The remix maintains the emotional core of Lucie Hart’s vocals while injecting it with a harder-hitting drop, perfect for late-night festival sets or club climaxes. It’s a future classic with instant replay value.
