Kodat Speaks With Us About His New Single, Experimenting With Genres, His Viral Meme Of Will Smith & More!
Fresh from the heels of his massive remix of ‘Is There Someone Else’ by The Weeknd and becoming a viral sensation with his remix of Will Smith, Kodat has unveiled a fresh new single ‘Voices’. Originally from Paris, France, Kodat is now based in Miami and has been releasing music for over 3 years now. To celebrate the release of his brand new single, we had the pleasure of speaking with him about a number of topics.
Hey Kodat, thanks for taking the time to speak with me, how are you doing?
I’m great thank you!! Thank you for having me.
Let’s kick things of with your brand new single, ‘Voices’, which has just dropped today. How happy are you with the finished product?
You know, I am very happy with the finished product, I’m also excited for my fans to listen to it.
This single showcases a fresh new style that we’ve not quite heard from you, how are expecting your fans and followers to respond to this one?
Definitely, it’s very different than what I used to release. I even think that is my first track at 128BPM since I started the Kodat project haha. I wanted to release something different with summer being around the corner. A song that you can still listen to during your workout, at the club but also at the beach or around the pool. So I really hope my fans will love this one.
Yet another style and genre that you’ve dipped your toes into, how important is it for you to be experimenting and trying out new flavors of music?
Since the pandemic, music has changed and people have changed the way they consume music, so I think more than ever, people are looking for new music. I also want to show people that I don’t only know to make Jersey Club, but I can release a Drum&Bass track mixed with 80s influence, I can release a moombahton track, etc. I am not stuck in one genre. I love music in general and if I have an inspiration, I’m not gonna hold on to it.
You recently started a viral meme on social media with your remix of Will Smith, can you give me a little insight into why and how you made this remix?
I never expected this meme to be viral. When the Will Smith scandal happened, it was on Sunday night at the Oscars, I made this on Monday at the end of the day. After I heard Will Smith shouting, I was like this guy sounds like Lil Jon almost hahaha. So I got inspired and I decided to make this track ‘’Out Yo Fkn Mouth’’ for fun nothing else, it took me 30mn. I posted it right away on Instagram and my account blew up with notifications. Famous DJs, journalists, and TV channels reached out to me and shared it on their profiles, it was insane. And I started to see all these articles talking about me and my meme. It was very intense but super fun to experience this viral moment.
A lot of new fans and followers discovered your music since then, how was their response to your music after the remix?
Exactly, I gained so many new fans since then. At the same time, I had my remix of ‘Is There Someone Else’ by The Weeknd which started to get bigger because Diplo decided to add it on his radio ‘’Diplo’s Revolution’’, so my followers were discovering music that I just released but also my previous remixes from 3 years ago such as ‘’Beat It’’, ‘’Lady’’ etc… The DJs started to play them again in their sets and I think it’s awesome.
Not just on social media but mainstages and radios across the world, big DJs such as Diplo, Tiesto, Salvatore Ganacci and more are playing your music, how does that make you feel?
It’s such an honor obviously, these names that you mentioned are people that inspired me a lot when I was younger, it’s a great and special feeling when Tiesto signed me on Musical Freedom or Salvatore Ganacci plays my music at a huge festival for sure. But, to be honest, I have the same special feeling when an unknown DJ plays my music in his bedroom and tags me on Instagram because it reminds me of 12 years ago when I started practicing in my room on the music of the names you mentioned above. I am very grateful.
Thanks for taking the time to speak with me, do you have anything to reveal to our readers?
Get ready for a lot of NEW Kodat music, I’m not gonna let you guys down.. I’ve decided to release so many new tracks coming up during the summer starting NOW with ‘’Voices’’!!

Armin van Buuren & Funk Tribu – Nirvana

With Nirvana, both artists bring a direct trance entry into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
WÓTIE – Never Let You Go
WÓTIE turns a deeply personal story into Never Let You Go, a melodic dance and progressive house single. The song reflects his years-long separation from his daughter and the hope he held onto through that period. He wrote it in 2019 during a difficult time in Brazil, with lyrics drawn from loss, distance, and love. Musically, the track pairs warm male vocals, emotional piano, organic elements, and a euphoric drop. With Never Let You Go, WÓTIE brings one of the week’s most personal tracks into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
SKILAH – GOMF BUT LOUDER
SKILAH returns with GOMF BUT LOUDER, a tech house rework of her September single GOMF.

At 23, the Minnesota-born, Los Angeles-based artist has also passed 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Chase & Status – Generic Everything (album)
Chase & Status release Generic Everything, a 10-track album through 2RUFF Records and Warner Music UK.

It features J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco, IRAH, Col3trane, and more. One of its biggest moments is Essa Ta Quente, a Brazilian funk-leaning track with Skrillex. With Generic Everything, Chase & Status bring a full album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Dillon Francis, Oaks – Fall
Dillon Francis and Oaks release Fall, a melodic single out via Monstercat and Broke Records. The track centers on an expressive vocal topline, soaring melodies, and the feeling of finally letting go. Dillon Francis said the song was written for their significant others and came from a studio session where everyone was writing from the same place. It follows a major 2026 for Dillon Francis, including Stagecoach, the Impact Award at the EDM Awards, and the Dillstradamus co-headline tour with Flosstradamus. With Fall, Dillon Francis and Oaks add a more emotional dance release to New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Effin – Heartbeats (Album)
Effin presents Heartbeats, a 12-track album centered on love, memory, nostalgia, and detailed sampling. Across the project, the Nashville producer uses 1950s film dialogue, forgotten live recordings, jazz flutes, vocal manipulation, and vintage-inspired textures. The album follows his earlier singles What’s In Your Heart, Forever & Always, and Plus One, each giving a different part of the project’s emotional world. It also follows his biggest touring year so far, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lost Lands, Breakaway, VELD, and more.

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.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.
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.
