Ruben De Ronde Teams Up With Twitch Fan Base For Third Album ‘Different’!

By looking past conventional boundaries and exploring the opportunities that lie beyond, Ruben de Ronde is a shining example of how something ‘Different’ leads to something greater. On his third solo artist album, the globally renowned Dutchman and Statement! Recordings head balances high-end tracks with a number of exclusive creations. Take your pick from ‘Lucky Penny’ with Elevven, ‘Gold’ starring Roxanne Emery, ‘Trinity’ battling FUTURECODE or any of the several exclusives; Ruben de Ronde‘s biggest statement (!) yet is immersed in out-of-the-box thinking, making for a collaborative album in every sense and confirming that ‘Different’ is not a dirty word.
The unique production values on ‘Different’ are suggested on ‘The Hardest Part’, which starts out with an old-school riff, twiddling notes and a some messing around with plugins. It’s viewed and commented on in real time by Ruben de Ronde‘s Twitch following, as a mixture of music tutorial and fan-rewarding, all-access insight. One vocal from HALIENE later – in the right place at the right time – and Ruben de Ronde had a completed weapon ready to parade at sets the size of Ultra Music Festival in Miami.
Electronic Family favorite ‘Shadow of Us’ – the official anthem for the biggest outdoor trance festival in Europe – sees Ruben de Ronde express a telepathy with the L.A. based duo Elevven that even he can’t explain, souping up a previous archive production with the assistance of singer-songwriter and hit maker Matias Lethola. The deeper, more chilled ‘Gold’, featuring Roxanne Emery’s gospel-like tones, listens to the album’s individuality and moves ‘Different’ away into the shaded outskirts of the dance floor.
Ruben de Ronde: “‘Different’ has been in the making for about two years. The biggest difference from the ‘My Story’ album is that I have very much involved my subscribers, viewers and followers on video streaming platform Twitch in the creative process, from the very first beat until the final effect and melody. By being open and transparent with everything that I do in the studio, I have received tons of amazing feedback and tips along the road from viewers, and also have been able to educate others at the same time. I really feel that this album is a combined effort of everybody. I think this is the first-ever trance/dance album that has been produced this way, and I am mega proud of the result. While other artists might think I am revealing too much of my workflow, sound design and the music in general, I think sharing all of this in advance has only made producing this album more fun. It is indeed a ‘Different’ kind of way of sharing my music with the world.”
‘Different’ is the third solo album from Ruben de Ronde, following ‘My Story’ and ‘From Sao Paulo to Sofia’. The Dutchman’s consistency has earned him his accolades from the scene’s top tier as he draws inspiration from musical styles across the board without straying too far from his signature progressive trance sound. The DJ, producer and Statement! Recordings label owner has remixed Armin van Buuren, Cosmic Gate and Above & Beyond, and graced the stages of Tomorrowland, Untold, Hi, Ushuaïa, Privilege and Amnesia in Ibiza, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and Europe, and EDC Las Vegas, continually scoring more must-visit events.

Petersky (PL) Unleashes New Single, ‘Take It’

Released on LVLD Music, ‘Take It,’ is Petersky’s latest record, delivering a deep tech-house sound to nightclub dancefloors. Its rolling groove has the power of keeping crowds on the move, providing a hot atmosphere to ravers.
The bassline is probably this song’s most important aspect, giving life to the production in a fun way, while maintaining the underground vibe of ‘Take It.’ Think of the famous sound of Chris Stussy tracks, but reimagined in Petersky’s own fashion.
Simplistic but catchy, the song can be the highlight of a set. Its punchy bass adds to the funky bassline, while hypnotic stabs join during the breakdowns, tingling the eardrums of listeners.

DJ Madam Filth Drops Drum and Bass Track ‘Got That Blow’

DJ Madam Filth Returns With Drum and Bass Track ‘Got That Blow’
Las Vegas-based DJ Madam Filth has released her second track on the Dancefloor Mafia label, titled Got That Blow. Known for her presence in the U.S. drum and bass scene, she brings another fast-paced offering that reflects her commitment to building both her sound and her label’s direction.
The track runs for just under four minutes and wastes no time setting its pace. It opens with a rhythmic pattern that leans into familiar DnB territory like quick tempo, tight percussion, and minimal melodic distractions. There’s a focus on keeping the structure clean and the transitions purposeful. Instead of throwing in multiple breaks or sound detours, the song keeps the listener on a straight course with steady layering and repetition.
There’s a vocal sample running through the main progression, acting as both a hook and a rhythmic anchor. Rather than relying on dramatic builds, the track maintains a linear intensity. That choice gives DJs room to use it mid-set to either maintain drive or transition without losing pace.
More Than Just a Single
Got That Blow is not just another release. For DJ Madam Filth, this marks another step in solidifying her platform. As a resident on Vibe 99.7FM’s Bass Nation and co-founder of the Konkrete Jungle event series, she’s not new to the genre or its surrounding community.
The Dancefloor Mafia label, which she launched independently, serves as a space for her to release her own music and to experiment with tracks built directly for the kind of dancefloors she plays regularly. Her style often leans toward straightforward arrangements that favor flow over theatrics. Got That Blow fits into that catalogue clearly.
For Listeners and DJs Alike
This track isn’t trying to reinvent the genre. It’s meant for settings where speed, precision, and familiarity matter. The production is tight, with all elements serving the rhythm rather than competing for attention. For fans of minimal, high-speed DnB, it’s a track that can slot comfortably into playlists or live sets without dominating them.
DJ Madam Filth continues to approach her releases with intention. Got That Blow may not be overly complex, but it’s well-built for the purpose it serves. If you follow her work—or just want a no-frills DnB addition to your library as it’s worth a listen.#
