ERAN previews seven unreleased tracks already spinning in sets by Hugel, Solomun, and WhoMadeWho ahead of a big summer.

ERAN took to Instagram this week to preview a collection of upcoming originals still in the pipeline. He gave fans an early listen to music that hasn’t hit any platform yet. The previews span seven tracks. Moreover, the early feedback from the DJ community has been anything but quiet. Hugel, Solomun, and WhoMadeWho are among the names already supporting the unreleased material. This shows a level of pre-release traction. In fact, it signals serious dancefloor weight across the board.

ERAN Previews Unreleased Music

The previewed tracks sit firmly within ERAN’s established lane: Afro house, tribal rhythms, and melodic elements shaped by his Middle Eastern roots. Years of refining his sound between Miami studios and global stages are evident throughout. While full release details remain under wraps, the Instagram preview makes one thing clear a busy summer is coming.

Support From Hugel, Solomun, and WhoMadeWho

Notably, getting unreleased music into the sets of Hugel, Solomun, and WhoMadeWho before a track has even been announced is no small achievement. Since these artists operate across very different corners of electronic music, the support says a lot about the versatility of the material. Hugel brings peak-hour energy, while Solomun represents the deeper late-night underground sound. Meanwhile, WhoMadeWho bridges melodic and indie dance influences. Together, their support points toward a batch of music with genuine crossover appeal.

ERAN’s Rise Across Afro House

Originally born in Israel and now based in Miami, ERAN began his journey into music in New York in 2001. Since then, he has spent more than two decades building a catalogue that crosses Afro house, tribal house, and melodic production. As a result, his signature sound has become heavily shaped by both his heritage and international influences.

His profile shifted significantly in 2023. Most notably, his collaboration with Madonna, Blondish, and Darmon on Sorry reached number one in 76 countries. In addition, the track topped the Beatport chart within days of release. Around the same period, his Afro house track Rej also claimed the number one spot on Beatport, while his Spotify streams pushed well past 30 million.

Over the years, his music has appeared on Insomniac Records, Armada, Spinnin’ Records, and Ultra. At the same time, his own label One Day Forever has continued growing as a platform for Afro, tribal, and melodic sounds. Beyond releases, he has performed at EDC, BPM, and Zamna. Because of this consistency, ERAN has built a reputation as a producer capable of balancing underground credibility with crossover reach without losing either side of his identity.

Latest Release Out Now

While the seven previewed tracks are still building toward release, ERAN also currently has his latest single I Like The Way You Move out now with The Angels (IL) via Go Deeva Light Records.

ERAN has a packed summer schedule on the horizon. Stay connected with his socials below for the latest show announcements and release updates. These will come as the season approaches.

Tita Lau releases her first single of 2026, ‘Freaky’, a sample-based dancefloor record built around the iconic Jodeci vocal and her own signature production style.

Tita Lau steps into 2026 with her first release of the year, ‘Freaky’, arriving off the back of a month-long tour across Asia and the success of her collaboration with James Hype on ‘More Of The Same’, which has now surpassed one million streams. The new single marks a notable moment in her discography as her first ever sample-based record, drawing on the iconic Jodeci vocal from Freakn’ You and pairing it with her own signature vocals and precision dancefloor production.

Breaking Down the Sound of Freaky

Freaky is built for the dancefloor from the ground up. The track centres on a throbbing off-beat bass and thumping percussion, with infectious melodic leads weaving around the Jodeci sample throughout. Tita has added her own vocals to the record, sitting alongside the original in a way that feels personal rather than simply functional. The production draws influence from drum-heavy techno grooves while retaining the soulful, emotive qualities that have long defined her approach to house music. The result is a track that bridges the raw energy of the club with the emotional pull of a vocal that has resonated with audiences for decades.

Speaking about the release, Tita said: “I grew up on the iconic original and always wanted to put my signature on it to play in my sets. It always goes off.”

Tita Lau’s 2025-2026 Momentum

The release of Freaky follows a particularly strong stretch for Tita Lau. Her collaboration with James Hype, More Of The Same, broke through the one million streams mark and introduced her to a significantly wider audience ahead of her Asia tour. That run of dates across the continent further cemented her reputation as a consistently high-energy live performer, with the momentum from both carrying directly into this new chapter of her 2026 output. With Freaky now out, it signals the beginning of what looks set to be a busy and musically adventurous year.

In an era where internet culture can elevate songs to global audiences overnight, few collaborations represent the intersection of different music worlds quite like “FAVELA,” the record bringing together producer MXZI and UK artist Deno.

Released in November 2025, the track arrived through an unprecedented partnership between two powerful music platforms: NoCopyrightSounds (NCS) and Mixtape Madness. 

A Rare Meeting of Two Music Giants

Both platforms involved in the release bring enormous audiences.

NoCopyrightSounds, founded in 2011, has become one of the most influential electronic music outlets on YouTube, boasting over 34 million subscribers and more than 12 billion total video views.

The label built its reputation by releasing copyright-free electronic music that creators can use in videos, making it one of the most widely used music sources across YouTube, Twitch, and gaming culture.

Meanwhile Mixtape Madness has established itself as one of the UK’s most influential rap platforms, with its YouTube channel attracting around 1.8 million subscribers and producing viral freestyle series like Next Up and Mad About Bars. 

While both brands dominate their own lanes  NCS in electronic music and Mixtape Madness in UK rap  collaborations between the two remain rare. That made “FAVELA” stand out immediately.

The track marked a joint release between the two brands, merging their audiences and creating a bridge between phonk-driven electronic production and melodic UK rap vocals.

MXZI at the Center of the Collaboration

At the heart of the record is “dominic balog” (known as  MXZI), whose rise over the past few years has turned him into one of the most streamed producers emerging from the modern Brazilian Phonk movement.

The London-based producer now attracts over 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify, while his catalog has generated billions of streams across platforms. His breakout “Montagem” series  including tracks like Montagem Xonada and Montagem Tomada  has collectively accumulated hundreds of millions of plays.

Those numbers have positioned MXZI as one of the producers shaping the high-energy montagem-style wave of phonk, a sound built for viral edits.

The collaboration with Deno represents another expansion of his influence.

Rather than staying within purely electronic circles, MXZI stepped directly into the UK rap scene  bringing his production style into a space traditionally dominated by grime, afroswing, and melodic drill.

The Deno Factor

For Deno Michael Mebrahtu, the collaboration added another chapter to an already successful career.

Born in Brixton, London, the British-Eritrean singer and rapper first gained attention through viral freestyles posted online before collaborating with major UK artists.

His breakout single “Advice” with Cadet became a major UK hit, reaching No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart and earning BPI Gold certification. 

Over the years, Deno has accumulated hundreds of millions of streams, with his catalog surpassing 586 million total Spotify plays and attracting a global fanbase.

A Song Built for the Internet Era

Like much of MXZI’s catalog, “FAVELA” was built with the creator and short-form content in mind..

The track runs just over two minutes, maintains a fast 130 BPM, and features tightly structured drops designed to work seamlessly in montage edits and short-form content. This structure has become a defining characteristic of the modern phonk wave music.

With NCS’s creator-driven distribution model and Mixtape Madness’s deep connection to UK rap audiences, the collaboration effectively placed the track in front of millions of listeners across multiple communities at once.

A Symbol of MXZI’s Growing Influence

The release of “FAVELA” highlights MXZI’s expanding influence across different corners of the music industry.

Few producers move seamlessly between electronic music platforms and established UK rap outlets but MXZI’s viral reach has positioned him as a bridge between those worlds.

For MXZI, bringing together powerhouse names in this unprecedented collaboration demonstrates the growing influence he now carries within the industry.
