PRANA Releases Debut Single ‘Pieces’ on Maison Sonics
PRANA Releases Debut Single ‘Pieces’ on Maison Sonics after building her name across Paris, Beirut, Radio FG, and international stages
PRANA has released her debut single Pieces on Maison Sonics, giving the Lebanese DJ her first official release after years of playing between Paris, Beirut, and international stages. Her profile has grown through Radio FG and Maxximum, with sets across Tech House, Indie Dance, Melodic House and Techno, and Afro House connecting her to shows alongside PAWSA, Seth Troxler, Francis Mercier, WhoMadeWho, and &friends. She has also played at Grand Palais des Glaces and L’Olympia Paris, while taking her music to cities including Casablanca, Tangier, Cairo, Ibiza, New York, and Saint Tropez. With Pieces, PRANA now steps into production with a release that connects her Lebanese roots, her Paris and Beirut background, and the club experience that has defined her career so far.
PRANA Turns Years Behind the Decks Into Her First Official Release
For PRANA, Pieces gives listeners the first official release from an artist who has already been heard through DJ sets, radio shows, and club bookings across several markets. The Lebanese DJ has developed her career between Paris and Beirut, with a sound rooted in Tech House, Indie Dance, Melodic House and Techno, and Afro House, but her story until now has mostly lived in the places she has played. Releasing through Maison Sonics gives that story a recorded starting point. It puts her name on a single that listeners can return to outside the night itself, while still keeping the release close to the club music that has carried her through stages in France, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, Spain, the USA, and the wider Middle East.
The release follows the same path that has been forming around PRANA over the past few years, as her profile has grown through radio, club bookings, and international lineups. Her presence on Radio FG and Maxximum has placed her in front of electronic music listeners beyond the venues she plays, while appearances at Grand Palais des Glaces and L’Olympia Paris have connected her name to major stages in France. She has also shared lineups with PAWSA, Seth Troxler, Francis Mercier, WhoMadeWho, and &friends, giving her a live background that already sits close to the kind of music heard on Pieces. That context gives the single more weight because it is not only a debut release. It is the first recorded part of a career that has already been developing through DJ sets, radio slots, and shows across different cities. With Maison Sonics now behind her first release, PRANA begins adding original music to the same story that first introduced her through the decks.
PRANA Signs With Maison Sonics for Her First Original Releases
With Pieces now released, PRANA begins her first run of original music through Maison Sonics, the California based company founded by AROCK and DAWTY. The company works across label services, management, publishing, and records, so her signing places the release inside a wider music setup from the beginning. Maison Sonics also lists PRANA on its represented roster as an artist and DJ, which makes Pieces part of a larger working relationship between the label and her producer career. It is not only a single attached to a label credit. It is the first release from a new artist relationship where her recorded music, creative direction, and long term rollout can develop under the same team.
That makes this section different from the earlier biography because the focus is now on how PRANA is releasing music, not where she has already played. After Pieces, the next part of her story depends on how she continues building a catalogue under Maison Sonics, especially as the press material points to more original music and ambitious projects ahead. The signing gives her debut release more structure because it connects her first production work to a company already involved in artist representation and recorded music. For listeners discovering PRANA through Pieces, it also makes the release feel less like a one time experiment and more like the first public step in a producer run that is now being developed with a label team behind it.
With Pieces now out, PRANA closes the gap between the DJ career that first introduced her and the original music she is beginning to release. The single gives her catalogue a first entry under Maison Sonics, while still keeping the focus on the musical identity she has carried through clubs, radio, and international shows. As more projects follow, Pieces works as the first clear look at where PRANA is taking her production next.

GTA VI to feature dedicated dance and electronic radio stations as Rockstar reveals its biggest in-game radio selection yet
For more than two decades, Rockstar Games has used radio to give Grand Theft Auto its own musical identity, from Flash FM in Vice City to Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM and Radio Mirror Park in GTA V. Grand Theft Auto VI will expand that tradition with the biggest and widest-ranging in-game radio selection in the series so far. Dance and electronic music will each have dedicated stations, alongside classic rock, modern hip-hop, pop, metal, Latin, ’80s, blues and ballads. Talk radio and podcasts will form part of the wider selection too.

Dance And Electronic Music Get Dedicated Stations
Electronic music already has a strong presence across the series. Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM, Worldwide FM and The Music Locker Radio have covered house, techno, experimental electronic music and underground club sounds. GTA VI will now give dance and electronic music their own stations, opening the door for a broader range of styles across the game.
Rockstar Games has not yet announced the station names, hosts or tracklists, leaving plenty unknown about how the two will differ musically. One could focus more heavily on house, club and dancefloor records. The other could cover a wider range of electronic sounds, although Rockstar Games has not confirmed those details.
Electronic Music Has Long Been Part Of GTA
Electronic music has also played a larger role across GTA beyond its radio stations, particularly through GTA Online. Keinemusik, Palms Trax and Moodymann have all performed at The Music Locker, while Joy Orbison hosted Still Slipping Los Santos. Updates to FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM also expanded the electronic music available inside the game.
In 2021, Rockstar Games expanded that connection by partnering with CircoLoco to launch CircoLoco Records. The label has since released music from Rampa, Moodymann, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Tale Of Us. Its catalogue also includes Sama’ Abdulhadi, DJ Tennis and Kerri Chandler. More recently, 2026 releases have involved Michael Bibi, KETTAMA, ANOTR, Prospa, Cloonee and Jimi Jules.
GTA VI Is Expanding Its Music Offering
Alongside the in-game radio, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will add another major music component to the game. The official 34-track soundtrack includes artists across several genres and extends the musical scope of GTA VI beyond the stations heard while exploring Vice City and Leonida.
Electronic music is represented there too, with Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy among the artists involved. Other names include PinkPantheress, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin and Travis Scott. Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro and Keith Richards also feature.
More GTA VI Radio Stations Are Still To Be Revealed
Rockstar Games has already previewed Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. However, the company has yet to announce the names of the dedicated dance and electronic stations. Their hosts and full tracklists also remain under wraps.
With Grand Theft Auto VI set to be released on November 19, 2026, more details about its electronic music selection are still expected. DJs, club culture, specialist stations and CircoLoco Records have already become part of Rockstar Games’ wider music world. Now, GTA VI’s dedicated dance and electronic stations could add another chapter to that history.

deadmau5 takes over Red Rocks for Halloween on October 30 and 31 with two special shows and the return of mau5hop
For more than 15 years, deadmau5 has returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre each fall, with the Colorado venue becoming a regular part of his seasonal live shows. This year, that tradition reaches a new point as he performs at Red Rocks on Halloween itself for the first time, with DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN taking place on October 30 and 31. The two-night event will feature VOWWS, joined by Josh Freese and Danny Lohner, alongside special visuals, selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. The weekend will also include the return of the mau5hop pop-up in Denver, with exclusive merchandise, collectibles and meet-and-greet sessions across both days.
VOWWS Joins deadmau5 For The Halloween Shows
VOWWS will join deadmau5 across the two nights, with Josh Freese and Danny Lohner also part of the performance. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based duo of Matt James and Rizz have long worked across darker alternative and electronic sounds, with previous collaborations involving Gary Numan, Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe.
Josh Freese, whose credits include A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals, also appears on VOWWS’ latest album I’ll Fill Your House With An Army. Danny Lohner, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Black Queen, will join the duo at Red Rocks as part of the expanded live lineup.
What deadmau5 Has Planned For Halloween
The October 30 and 31 shows will feature special Halloween visuals alongside selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. Attendees are also being encouraged to come in costume across both nights.
The shows add a new chapter to deadmau5’s long history at Red Rocks, where his fall appearances have become a regular fixture over more than 15 years. He was back at the venue in 2025 for Day of the Dead, where he debuted new music and parts of a new touring production.
That period has continued into 2026 with ‘Science’ featuring Stevie Appleton, his first vocal single since ‘My Heart Has Teeth’. The track later reached No. 1 on US Dance Radio and also entered Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay and Canada CHR/Top 40.
mau5hop Returns For Halloween Weekend
The Halloween weekend will also include the return of mau5hop in Denver, opening on October 30 and 31 at 95 S Cherokee Street. The pop-up will run from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM each day with specialty merchandise, limited-edition apparel, pins and collectibles not available online or at the shows.
deadmau5 and friends are also due to appear for meet-and-greets and signings from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM on both days.
With the Red Rocks shows and mau5hop both returning across Halloween weekend, this year’s edition adds more around a tradition that has already become closely tied to deadmau5 and the venue. The biggest difference in 2026 is simple: for the first time, one of those shows will actually fall on Halloween night.
With VOWWS, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner joining the shows, new music expected and mau5hop returning to Denver, DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN has plenty planned across the weekend. Limited tickets remain for both nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with more from deadmau5 also expected in the months ahead.
