Wuki unleashes Beats I Can’t Release Vol. 1, a genre-blending mixtape that transforms unreleased ideas into a celebration of creativity and freedom.

GRAMMY-nominated electronic artist and producer Wuki unveils his long-awaited Beats I Can’t Release Vol. 1 mixtape series, a genre-bending collection that dives deep into the heart of his most raw, unfiltered creativity. What began as a playful side project and cult-favorite series online has now evolved into an official showcase of WUKI’s fearless production and uplifting energy.

The Beats I Can’t Release concept including “Ring Of Fire,” was born from Wuki’s love of remixing, sampling, and reimagining familiar sounds in ways that defy copyright boundaries and traditional release norms. From viral flips to underground favorites, WUKI has turned what “can’t” be released into a celebration of pure artistic freedom. Fans first fell in love with the series through his Wukileaks drops on YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp — now, Vol. 1 brings those moments together into a cohesive experience.

“This series started because I had all these ideas that couldn’t make it to Spotify or Apple Music — but they were too fun not to share,” says Wuki. “It’s become this ongoing outlet where I can experiment, reconnect with my roots, and make the kind of wild edits I grew up loving. It’s honestly some of my favorite music I’ve ever made.”

Known for his fusion of bass, trap, house, and genre-fusing signatures, Wuki continues to stand as one of dance music’s most versatile and innovative artists. His ability to blend humor, nostalgia, and technical mastery has earned him collaborations with artists across the spectrum from Diplo and Skrillex to Anna Lunoe and Smokepurpp and a GRAMMY nomination recognizing his impact on electronic music and beyond.

Beats I Can’t Release Vol. 1 captures the full spectrum of Wuki’s world, flipping everything from classic vocals to unexpected samples into adrenaline-pumping drops, nostalgic hooks, and festival-ready energy. With every track, Wuki invites fans into his creative process, where nothing is off-limits and every beat tells a story of reinvention.

“This is about freedom,” Wuki adds. “I make music because I love the feeling of creating something that surprises me — and I think fans can feel that. ‘Beats I Can’t Release’ is me having fun again, and that’s what this whole thing is about.”

As he continues to blur the lines between official releases and underground favorites, Beats I Can’t Release Vol. 1 reminds fans exactly why Wuki remains one of the most talented forces in electronic music today.

RENESIS releases “SAKURA,” a cinematic cyberpunk anthem inspired by rebirth and transformation, out now on Spotify and Beatport.

Los Angeles–based producer, singer, and DJ RENESIS continues to redefine the sound of futuristic electronic music with her standout single “SAKURA.” Fusing powerful basslines, glitched percussion, and soaring vocal textures, SAKURA embodies the beauty of transformation: the moment when fragility becomes strength, and chaos becomes creation.

Inspired by the Japanese cherry blossom that blooms for only a short time each year, SAKURA captures the idea of rebirth through impermanence. The track opens with delicate melodies that slowly give way to thunderous drops and metallic energy, reflecting the duality at the heart of the RENESIS sound – elegance meeting raw intensity in a neon-lit storm.

Supported by prominent names across the scene, including Extra Terra, Max Brhon, Rogue VHS, and Lazerpunk, RENESIS has quickly become one of the most compelling artists shaping the cyberpunk electronic movement. Her catalog has accumulated over one million streams worldwide, and her performances across the U.S., Canada, and Japan have showcased her ability to transform a stage into a full-blown cybernetic experience.

With SAKURA, RENESIS continues to blur the line between music and cinematic storytelling, delivering an anthem that feels both intimate and otherworldly.

Stream “SAKURA” now on all major platforms and step into the neon world of RENESIS.

Follow her journey on Instagram, Spotify, and YouTube for the next chapter of her expanding cyberpunk universe.
