MIKOLAS Returns with Bold New Era, Drops “SAMBA” as First Single from Upcoming Album “II” and sells out Lucerna Great Hall in 7 minutes
One of the Czech Republic’s most streamed artists, MIKOLAS, launches a brand-new musical era with the release of his single SAMBA, the first track from his highly anticipated second studio album, II. Alongside this release, MIKOLAS announced his return show in Lucerna Great Hall (2500 capacity) which sold out in little over 7 minutes.
“I am both humbled and excited. Its a huge responsibility towards the fans and I know they are up for a great show. I cant wait.”
Following the triple platinum success of his debut album ONE (source: IFPI, released March 22, 2024), which just recently surpassed 120 million Spotify streams, SAMBA offers fans a taste of what’s next: the darker, fiercer alter ego version of MIKOLAS.
To celebrate, MIKOLAS hosted a grand VIP release party on April 24 in Prague – his first fan-centered live event in years. Fans were able to enter the event for free by signing up through his fan portal at www.mikolas.com. Announced just a week in advance, the night featured a live performance of MIKOLAS’s biggest hits, the live premiere of SAMBA, exclusive merchandise, welcome drinks for fans, and a personal meet & greet for the first 100 attendees.
In another surprise move, MIKOLAS unveiled his very own magazine, EMPIRE, during release week. Written in a personal diary style, he invites his fans into the inner circle and opens up directly to them.
“I wanted to create a one-of-a-kind, no-filter connection between me and the people who follow me on this crazy journey. And I love it.”
He shares an in-depth personal journal of the making of the album and the single SAMBA. He also speaks candidly about the struggles on his journey back to Eurovision, revealing that both SAMBA and DELILAH were considered for a return to the Eurovision stage. He breaks down the meaning of SAMBA, answers fan Q&As with advice on confidence, creativity, and the realities of chasing your dream. He lovingly dedicates the first issue to Parketa, MIKOLAS’s late tour manager, and Anna Slováčková, a friend and fellow artist – both of whom passed away recently.
The magazine invites readers into the mind of MIKOLAS, offering a rare and intimate perspective on his life and creative process. It is available through the fan portal on his website.
The single also carries a social message, with MIKOLAS dedicating SAMBA to single parents. After sharing a personal story of single parenthood in his family through EMPIRE, he says:
“It opened my eyes to just how real the struggle of single parents is. It’s not a side story—it’s everywhere. And it deserves attention.”
To close out a week of surprises, MIKOLAS announced during the release party that he will hit the Majáles Rap Stage in Prague on April 26 (Biggest festival in the Czech Republic) for the first public performance of SAMBA, marking his return to Czech festival stages with a brand-new energy.
His sophomore album II is expected to arrive later this year.

Louie DeVito Returns With New House Anthem ‘Heat On My Skin’
Louie DeVito returns with his latest release, ‘Heat On My Skin’, a club-ready record built to keep dance floors moving.
Packed with his signature sound, ‘Heat On My Skin’ delivers a strong groove, uplifting energy, and a polished production style that has been shaped through years of experience at the top of the scene.

Jared Lee And Disco Fries Team Up For Captivating Dance Anthem ‘Collide’
Jared Lee and Disco Fries link up to bring progressive house and trance together in this new single ‘Collide’.
A union between well-experienced musical acumen, Jared Lee and Disco Fries have creatively merged their talents in “Collide”: released early November, the track bridges emotional songwriting with an euphoric production, an expected outcome given the sheer amount of creative prowess involved in this project.
Both aliases are fairly recognizable by many: Disco Fries have played a crucial role in shaping the EDM scene for more than a decade, with numerous releases on coveted labels like Spinnin’ Records, Armada, and Revealed Recordings since their breakthrough. The American DJ/Producer moniker has acquired a high degree of success not only because of industrial consistency with their release rate, but also the nuance and versatility in blending popular and lesser-known styles to appeal to club and mainstream ears alike. In charge of the vocals for this collaboration, Jared Lee has increasingly become a synonymous figure in the scene— the Boston-based producer and vocalist has an extensive resume, with writing and producing credits that involve famed icons like Tiesto, Nicky Romero, Laidback Luke, and several others. Listeners may also have come across his music unbeknownst, as the singer-songwriter’s efforts have resonated globally through diverse media placements— including Netflix, ESPN, and MTV alongside trending advertisements.
“Collide” has the polished sheen of a well-conceived dance-pop tune, yet the attention to detail turns this memorable; Jared’s warm and yearning vocals are ensnaring right away, layered with gentle piano and synth during the introductory breakdown. The chorus arrives with a grabby chorus, enabling the transition into a melodic drop; the smooth sound design generates a dreamy atmosphere (especially with the piano riff) upon a rolling bassline, steered by the plucky lead synth. The undeniable influences of progressive house and trance result in a distinctive timbre, as the cadence remains pleasantly mellow (such as the gentler percussions) but snappy enough to create a climactic effect.
Anthemic yet bearing heartfelt moments, “Collide” is undoubtedly earmarked to gain rapid traction in the coming days, serving as a satisfying release for the fans of both artists.
You can listen to the release below and keep your eyes peeled for the remix versions of the tracks 🙂
