New Brazilian Superclub Surreal Offers First Look And Announces Phase 1 Line-Up!
South American dance music visionary Renato Ratier has finally unveiled his long-awaited next step after leaving Warung after more than a decade. Surreal is his brand new venture on the coast of Santa Catarina and it promises to be a multi-purpose artistic complex from the driving force behind the world-renowned D-Edge clubs in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo. The three-day opening event is scheduled for December 26th and Surreal already has 33 dates scheduled for next year with the first wave of names including a mix of homegrown talent like Fabo, Gui Borratto, Anderson Noise, Joyce Muniz, and Whebba with international stars and those who have long been close to D-Edge such as Carl Craig, Archie Hamilton, Cassy, Radio Slave, Sonja Mooonear, Steve Rachmad, Rebolledo, wAFF, Henrick Schwarz, Fantastic Man, Franky & Sandrino and many more.

This new artistic complex will be located in the city of Camboriú and will bring an unprecedented cultural experience to Santa Catarina. It boasts 92,000 square meters of space that can be set up to suit a variety of events, with a focus on contemporary music and electronic soundtracks. Fully modular, it can host everything from its own parties to large concerts and festivals, as well as social and corporate events with world-class light, sound, and production that will make each event unique and unforgettable.
The opening will be held on December 26, 2021, and the venue will boast different areas. These include the Nomad Stage for slow and deep melodic house, the Bells Stage which is a barn with a more industrial edge for heavier techno and tech house, and the Raw Room Stage which is an open area. As well as the music there will be a food court that houses a thousand people with food trucks and a kitchen.
Says Renato, “I spent 10 years working hard and intensely, contributing to Warung Beach Club’s growth in order to deliver the best possible experience. I now believe that my mission along with the entire team was fulfilled. But music has been running through my veins since I was a child so I am committed to continuing to grow electronic music in Brazil. This new project will do that and very soon everyone will be able to experience the surreal sensations that the new complex will offer.”
Surreal is set to be a game-changing new addition to the Brazilian scene.

Syncia & CASH ONLY Return With Eljé On Something Something
Syncia & CASH ONLY Return With Eljé On Something Something as their Garage-inspired House project continues
Love & Other welcomes Syncia and CASH ONLY with a brand new collaboration, joining forces with rising vocal talent Eljé on their latest single Something Something. The release marks the third outing from the duo’s evolving bass and Garage-inspired House project and continues to build momentum around their distinct, club-focused sound. Out on Love & Other from May 15, 2026, Something Something brings classic UK Garage swing into a House-driven record, with shuffling drums, a rolling low end, and Eljé’s vocal giving the track its main point of connection. The single also continues a busy run for all three artists, following Syncia’s Beatport chart success across respected House labels, CASH ONLY’s ongoing The Chronicles tour, and Eljé’s recent collaborations with names including Riva Star, Deetron, Notion, and Jack Marlow.

Against All Ødds Returns To ZeroThree With Echo Silence
Against All Ødds Returns To ZeroThree With Echo Silence as his fourth release on the label brings an original vocal into focus
Against All Ødds returns to ZeroThree with Echo Silence, an emotional melodic record blending progressive house, melodic techno, and trance. The single also marks his fourth release on the imprint. Centered around an original vocal, Echo Silence follows his previous ZeroThree releases Agartha and Faded while placing his melodic direction in a more intimate setting. The release also arrives as ZeroThree prepares a stronger 2026 run for Against All Ødds, with several singles and collaborations already lined up after past support from Korolova, Miss Monique, Henri Bergmann, Magit Cocoon, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren.

The Original Vocal Gives Echo Silence Its Main Emotional Thread
Echo Silence works around an original vocal, giving Against All Ødds a more song-focused release within his melodic and progressive sound. The writing points straight into the mood of the record, with lines like “midnight falling, lights are calling” setting up the late-night feeling before “we are burning, we are turning, into nothing, into everything” brings in a stronger sense of tension and release. The vocal does not feel separate from the production, which matters for a track moving between progressive house, melodic techno, and trance. It gives the record a human focus while the production keeps the track moving with enough space for the vocal to stay present.
That also connects with how Against All Ødds described the idea behind Echo Silence. He said he had wanted for a long time to make “a low-tempo track with an emotional vocal,” something he could keep replaying on long drives while still making it radio-friendly and open across genres. That detail gives the single a more specific frame because it shows the track was not only written for club use. The layered build still gives Echo Silence its melodic record structure, but the vocal remains the part that carries the listener through the track. For Against All Ødds, it adds another side to his ZeroThree catalogue without moving away from the progressive and melodic lane that the label has supported across his recent releases.
Against All Ødds’ ZeroThree Run Continues Beyond Agartha And Faded
Echo Silence continues Against All Ødds’ relationship with ZeroThree after earlier releases including Agartha and Faded, but the release does more than add another title to his label catalogue. With several singles and collaborations already planned for 2026, ZeroThree appears to be positioning him for a longer run instead of treating this as a one-off return. That gives Echo Silence a specific place in the artist’s current phase, where his melodic and progressive direction is being developed through repeated releases on the same imprint. The single also gives that rollout a more vocal-focused entry, which separates it from being discussed only through label history or genre placement.
The outside support around Against All Ødds also adds weight to the wider picture without turning the section into a name list. His previous releases have already reached artists across connected melodic, progressive, and trance circles, including Korolova, Miss Monique, Henri Bergmann, Magit Cocoon, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren. That support matters because it shows his music has already travelled through the same circuit where ZeroThree has built much of its identity. With Echo Silence, the label connection now feels less like a basic release credit and more like part of a longer artist development push heading into 2026.
