Alex Cecil transforms Jay-Son’s ‘Tropical Blackness’ into a vibrant, electronic-infused, groovy single with a Wet Walls remix On Nein Records.

Alex Cecil adds his signature sound to Jay-Son’s latest release on Nein Records; enriching the EP with his ‘Tropical Blackness (Wet Walls Remix),’ he continues to shape a presence where his creativity takes lead, and his forward-thinking outlook holds steady. Anchored by a solid beat and interwoven motifs, the track highlights the rhythmic drive at the core of Alex Cecil’s approach, unfolding into an engaging journey where groove, momentum, and melody interact, and listeners can explore the unique dynamics of his creative world.

Focused and committed to his artistic growth and evolution, Alex Cecil continues to craft a discography where each track adds a new dimension; whether through remixes like this or in original material, such as his latest release, ‘Why Snow Flakes Turn To Rain,’ he steps into each project with a strong musical foundation and an eagerness to keep pushing for innovation. Operating between live environments and studio settings, he has developed an instinct for crafting dynamic experiences that resonate across listening environments, continuing to put forward originality whilst staying true to the influences that have guided him thus far. 

With Jay-Son having added his own touch to Alex Cecil’s original ‘Deja Grooves’ just last month, the time has now come for Alex to respond in true collaborative spirit – delivering a remix that reimagines Jay-Son’s track through his distinct sonic lens.

It is a rework that builds on the dark, cinematic edge of the original, bringing a layer of vibrancy and bouncy energy that refocuses the track in a signature Alex Cecil way. With the rolling bassline motif, gritty yet full-bodied leads, and futuristic-sounding aesthetic, the soundscape unfolds at a well-balanced pace, incorporating fresh details, like processed beats and soaring melodic synths, to sustain listener focus throughout. As sci-fi-inspired details enrich the unique feel of the remix, the track continues to weave its rich tapestry of sound, giving way to a reinterpretation that retains the core essence of the original, all whilst introducing new textures, grooves, and character that firmly reflect Alex Cecil‘s own sonic identity. 

A remix that underscores his creative range, proving his reworks carry the same refined approach and clear direction as his original tracks, the ‘Tropical Blackness (Wet Walls Remix)’ stands as another strong addition to Alex Cecil‘s catalogue – building on the momentum he has already cultivated while offering deeper insight into his artistic direction and what lies ahead.

New EDM Friday returns with new music by Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Mau P, Oliver Heldens, David Guetta, and more.

New EDM Friday is back and we are bringing you new music from Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Mau P, Oliver Heldens, David Guetta, and more.  This week’s roundup is stacked so let’s not waste any time and get right into it.

Armin van Buuren & Martin Garrix ft. Libby Whitehouse – Sleepless Nights

Dutch dance icons Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren release their first-ever collaboration, ‘Sleepless Nights’. Featuring Libby Whitehouse’s striking vocals, the track fuses Garrix’s modern production with Armin’s trance DNA, embodying the energy of late-night dance floors and the euphoria of sunrise. Premiered during their back-to-back sets at Ultra Miami, it has since become a staple in their solo and joint festival performances, including EDC Las Vegas, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. Both artists, longtime friends and five-time DJ Mag Top 100 DJ winners, now unite their signature sounds in this highly anticipated release.

David Guetta x Audio Bullys x DJs from Mars – Thing I Haven’t Told You

DJs From Mars have joined forces with David Guetta and legendary British electronic act Audio Bullys for ‘Things I Haven’t Told You’, an explosive rework of Audio Bullys’ 2003 hit ‘We Don’t Care’. Born from Guetta’s idea and shaped by DJs From Mars’ renowned mash-up skills, the track blends UK garage, house, electro-punk, and mainstage energy into a festival-ready anthem. First tested in their live sets to overwhelming crowd reactions, it quickly became one of Guetta’s “secret weapons” this summer. Now officially signed to Spinnin’ Records and out this August, the release marks a proud milestone for DJs From Mars after years of behind-the-scenes collaborations with Guetta, delivering a high-octane crossover built to move fans old and new.

Mau P – TESLA

Mau P returns with ‘TESLA’, a jolt of futuristic tech house built on industrial textures, hypnotic loops, and a no-nonsense low-end. Always one to lean into the underground, Mau P flexes his production prowess with a track that feels both raw and refined, charging up dancefloors with high-voltage energy and pulsing warehouse intensity. It’s sleek, dark, and pure peak-time ammunition.

BINGEWATCH – After Hours Club EP

Los Angeles’ own BINGEWATCH launches a bold new chapter with ‘After Hours Club’ EP, the debut release on his newly founded Blind Tiger Records, created alongside Jenessa Acosta and Nicholas Troiano. Known for their acclaimed Nightshift after-hours series and underground pop-ups, the Blind Tiger crew has become a fixture in LA’s late-night scene, hosting names like Waff, Solardo, and Todd Terry. Since 2019, BINGEWATCH has built a reputation for analog-infused house supported by icons like Chris Lake and Jamie Jones, and ‘After Hours Club’ continues that legacy with two late-night cuts: the percussive, sub-heavy title track and the hypnotic ‘The Truth’. The label’s launch coincides with BINGEWATCH’s upcoming live house set debut and nationwide Blind Tiger pop-ups, setting the tone for a movement rooted in authenticity, innovation, and the underground’s future.

Serge Devant & Camille Safiya – Solace

A decade after his acclaimed anthem ‘Fearing Love’ with Camille Safiya, iconic producer Serge Devant returns with ‘Solace’, the sequel and first release on his new label, This Moment. Serving as the second chapter in a planned trilogy, the track bridges past and present with progressive house grooves and a stirring narrative, reuniting Safiya’s haunting vocals with the same actors from the original video, a first in music history. Directed by Tobias Deml and starring Eric Michael Cole and Christine Donlon, the cinematic video picks up where ‘Fearing Love’ left off, imagining two former lovers whose paths cross again in a surreal subway encounter. Paired with a late-night tech-progressive remix from Seth Troxler and Nick Morgan, ‘Solace’ blends timeless sound, emotional storytelling, and groundbreaking visual continuity, reaffirming Devant as a true pioneer in merging music and film.
