LUNAX Talks With Us About Her New Single, Starting Her Career During The Pandemic, Her Message For Female Artists & More!
LUNAX, who is just 19 years old, has become the most successful German slap house artist in the music industry. On streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music, she was not only featured in the world’s largest playlists but has also graced the covers of several high-ranking playlists across various platforms. To celebrate the release of her brand new single ‘Rooftop’ on Beat Dealer Records, we had the pleasure of speaking with LUNAX on a number of topics.
Hey LUNAX, thanks for taking the time to chat with us, how are you doing today?
Hey, the pleasure is mine – I’m doing great, thanks! And I’m super excited about the release!
Let’s kick things off with your brand new single ‘Rooftop’, how happy are you with the finished product?
I’m super excited about ‘Rooftop’. I worked a lot to make it perfect and put all the energy into it that I want to pass on to my fans. It was also a pleasure to work with Christin Pohl, who wrote and sang the lyrics. She also wrote my song ‘Safe & Sound’ together with HUTS.
This single holds a message that feeling lonely doesn’t have to be a negative thing. Is this a mantra that you hold closely in your life
Absolutely! I am a very happy person, but of course I also have days when I am not well and I doubt myself. On the other hand, I can use these moments to draw a lot of strength from them and find new motivation.
Staying hopeful and positive can be quite a tough thing to do, would you have any advice for people going through a tough time?
Of course, it always depends on the personal situation and I can only speak about myself, but it helps me to remember that I’m not alone with this feeling and try to focus on the positive things in my life and keep in mind what I have already achieved.
The genre of slap house has gone on to dominate the streaming and radio waves. How does it feel to be the leading female act within this music style?
It always sounds unreal to me and it is absolutely crazy. It all happened so incredibly fast. But I’m very proud of it and happy that so many people like my music and listen to it every day. I get a lot of messages from my fans telling me how much they love to party and dance to it. That’s amazing!
In an industry dominated by male artists, how important is it for you to put your own name out there and tell other females with the same dreams to do it?
I am proud of what I have achieved and it is important to me to show that your achievement has nothing at all to do with your gender. If I can encourage other women to take a step into this industry, well, that’s great. We need a lot more of us, I dare you to!
The pandemic was a tough time for the music industry but was the catalyst for your career being launched. How did it help you take that first step?
I wouldn’t say that situation is what helped me to get where I am now. I’m glad I got through it in spite of the situation, but I don’t think it gave me any particular advantage to take that first step. However, what helped me was, of course, the livestreams that I did. That was a very good preparation before I did the live performances.
As we move out of the pandemic, what are you looking forward to the most about your career that hasn’t been possible since the launch?
A lot of touring, traveling, meeting fans and hugging them! I can’t wait to be on the road.
Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, do you have anything you’d like to announce with our readers?
Thanks, enjoyed talking with you guys. There are a lot of plans this year and I take you with me on my social media channels. Of course, I would be more than happy to welcome you at my gigs. I’m glad if you like ‘Rooftop’ as much as I do, also can’t stop listening to the track and have a lot of fun with it. If you are not doing well right now, I hope it gives you energy to look forward. Whatever that may be, you will get through it.

Marlon Hoffstadt & David Guetta – Caught Up

Marlon Hoffstadt said he grew up listening to David Guetta and called the collaboration “absolutely mental.” He also said they made the track earlier this year, just before Ultra Miami. Meanwhile, the single connects Marlon Hoffstadt’s trance-heavy style with David Guetta’s global dance reach. With Caught Up, the pair bring one of the week’s biggest collaborations into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Armin van Buuren & Funk Tribu – Nirvana
Armin van Buuren and Funk Tribu team up on Nirvana, a new Armada Music single. The track connects Armin van Buuren’s trance roots with Funk Tribu’s faster club style. It also follows Armin van Buuren’s recent A State of Trance Ibiza 2026 mix album. For Funk Tribu, Nirvana places him beside one of trance music’s most established names. 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. The new version takes the original into faster and harder territory, with dark production, heavy bass, and her own vocals still at the center. It follows major festival appearances at Lost Lands, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Breakaway Music Festival, Foam Wonderland, and Ubbi Dubbi. At 23, the Minnesota-born, Los Angeles-based artist has also passed 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. With GOMF BUT LOUDER, SKILAH brings a harder tech house cut into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Chase & Status – Generic Everything (album)
Chase & Status release Generic Everything, a 10-track album through 2RUFF Records and Warner Music UK. The album pushes against algorithm-led creative sameness, while drawing from drum and bass, rave, rap, and soundsystem culture. 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. With Heartbeats, Effin brings a conceptual bass album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

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.
