Sam Feldt Talks New Music Style, Growing As An Artist, Ups & Downs Of Fangage, And More!
Sam Feldt keeps raising heads, kicking off 2021 with stellar new single ‘Stronger’, featuring internationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated US singer/songwriter Kesha. ‘Stronger’ blends Feldt’s sultry production sound and taste for undeniably tasty pop hooks with Kesha’s touching and unique vocals. It’s two artists bringing out the best in each other, making us ‘Stronger’ for a surely invigorating new year – out now on Heartfeldt Records. We had the pleasure of speaking with Sam Feldt to celebrate his new release.
Thanks for taking this time to speak with us! Let’s kick it off with ‘Stronger’. How happy are you with the finished product and its home on Heartfeldt Records?
“I’m beyond excited about ‘Stronger’. I used to listen to all Kesha’s songs, so it is a huge honour to have this track released on my own record label which I launched in March last year. I feel that the message Kesha tried to send with the track is really inspiring and super relevant in these turbulent times. That’s why I knew I had to be part of this message. I started on the production right away and tried to create the right balance between the emotional but inspiring message and the uplifting and hopeful beat.”
The single features the incredible vocals from Kesha. How was it to work alongside a big name in the pop-dance scene.
“It’s very inspiring to work with such an established name like Kesha. I’ve learned a lot from this release. I think it’s the perfect first step into the next chapter of my career. I can’t wait to share all the amazing collaborations that are yet to come.”
With your previous releases blending styles of dance and tropical house with elements of pop, do you feel yourself and Kesha were a perfect match in terms of style?
“I feel that in all areas of my life it was time to step into the next chapter. I think I’ve grown as a person but also as an artist. My style evolved, I wanted to create a more mature sound and I think that Kesha’s sound and the message she delivers with this track is the perfect fit for that.”
You recently wiped your IG feed and teased of something new, is this single the beginning of this new chapter, or a blend between the old and new?
“For me it was a way to show my fans that it was time for something new and leave the past behind. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still super proud of all my previous work but it was time to start a new era. I felt like it was time to create music that is more mature with a deeper meaning. Just like my fans, I get older and my style is evolving so that’s why I’m taking my fans on that journey with me.”
With this new chapter in your career, do you feel the dance scene is ready for it or will they be blown away?
“My style is evolving but my core will stay the same; my music will always be melodic, uplifting with strong vocals and melodies, so I guess they are ready for it. Isn’t the whole world ready for change right now?”
As an artist at the top of his game for over 5 years now, do you feel branching out and experimenting is key to keeping your sound fresh and inviting?
“Of course! I change, the world is changing, everything changes constantly, that’s what makes it fun. I have a very broad taste in music ranging from techno to jazz, I always try to implement influences from these different genres in my tracks.”
Moving onto Fangage now. The platform was revolutionary and led to tons of artists signing up, even more than you expected. Even though you had to put it on hold, was it enjoyable to see your idea was a little bit too successful?
“Fangage was the victim of its own success, with lots of clients signing up on a system that wasn’t prepared for that type of growth yet. That’s why we set up crowdfunding to develop the software further. Now we are able to service more creators and are we able to grow even further. It’s one of my biggest joys in life, building something and letting it grow, so for that to happen to Fangage is awesome.”
What mistakes did you make with the previous launch that you learned from and improved this time?
“The architect and set up of the software weren’t scalable, which was why we couldn’t handle all the clients and the fanbases that they built within Fangage. We fixed that problem and are fully ready to grow now.”
Thanks for taking the time to speak with us! Do you have any final words for your fans?
“Thanks for all the love you gave me over the years. I hope you guys are ready to embark on the next chapter with me.”

Syncia & CASH ONLY Launch Collaborative Single Project With ‘Surrender’
International producer and label boss CASH ONLY joins forces with Syncia to launch an exciting new collaborative project, beginning with the debut single ‘Surrender,’ out 16th January on Famous When Dead Records. The release marks the start of a production partnership that unites their shared passion for bass-driven, bumpy Garage-inspired House music.
Syncia and CASH ONLY first connected when a video of Syncia performing at the iconic Back To Mine event for Days Of Disco at Pikes in Ibiza was shared with CASH by a friend asking for a track ID. The track was unshazamable, but CASH ONLY quickly discovered the artist behind it, leading him to sign the same track to Famous When Dead Records. Since then, the collaboration has grown into a full-fledged project where both artists explore and express the deeper, darker side of House music that draws on their formative Garage and Jungle roots.
Already in the studio, Syncia and CASH ONLY have a handful of tracks lined up for release, including one featuring the vocals of Elje, who has previously worked with Notion, Murphy’s Law, Wilfy D, and Jack Marlow. Their NU WAVE mix has already been featured on Scott Garcia’s UKG show on Kiss FM, giving listeners a taste of their upcoming material. The duo has performed live twice recently, first at ADE for Select Radio and more recently at Basing House in London, with additional shows planned throughout 2026.
CASH ONLY comments:
“I’ve worked with loads of songwriters, vocalists, and engineers over the past couple of years and spent a lot of time trying to define my musical direction. Working with Syncia gives me the ability to express myself across a deeper and darker side of House music, inspired by my own Garage and Jungle Roots. I don’t think I’ve ever worked in the studio with anyone who is more aligned to the style and direction I want to go in, and we always have fun! We often get distracted during sessions, firing tracks at each other and appreciating each other’s musical tastes, which helps to build momentum behind the creative process as we build tracks out.” I’ll keep exploring my own projects that are more traditionally House-led, but working with Syncia gives us both licence to deviate to tracks that are a little more underground.”
Syncia comments:
“Finding someone you love working with is rare. CASH gives me the freedom and bandwidth to explore new sounds and genres and is always there to help guide the process, pushing us toward making tracks that not only reflect the sounds we love, but that truly move a dancefloor. Our guiding principle is simple: will the track connect with the crowd and create a moment they’ll remember?”
Alongside this new collaboration, CASH ONLY is preparing to unveil the CASH ONLY Chronicles Tour. The video series, created in collaboration with Henry Fisher, son of internet sensation “Big John” Fisher, who coined the word ‘BOSH’, has already launched and is gaining major views online. It combines high-energy House and Garage sets with storytelling and witty video content to engage audiences in a fresh and memorable way. The international tour will follow, with dates still being finalised, and is set to include stops in Phuket, Bangkok, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Amsterdam, Ibiza, and Zante, bringing a fresh, fun, and immersive approach to live performance.
CASH ONLY has spent recent years defining his sound across club floors, festival stages, and radio airwaves, establishing himself as a leading figure in the UK electronic music scene. He has continued to expand his profile through performances at major festivals and venues, including Glastonbury, Hï Ibiza, Café Mambo, Defected Croatia, Reading, Parklife, and Back To Mine’s busiest event of the summer at Pikes Ibiza, showcasing his versatility and influence across multiple genres. His label, Famous When Dead Records, has consistently delivered standout releases, including UK chart-topping singles and collaborations with both rising and established talent.
Syncia, a UK-based producer and DJ on the global House circuit with a distinct Techno-inspired edge, has already made a significant mark with his past releases and performances. His debut on Taikomochi Records soared up the charts, with subsequent tracks topping Beatport and Traxsource Techno charts, and his EP on Release LDN further cemented his reputation. His three-track package on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains also claimed top positions on Beatport, highlighting his growing influence. Having previously achieved Top 10 success with Inner City’s ‘Reach’ and producing a string of notable remixes, Syncia has built a solid foundation of industry support, including BBC Radio 1 plays and endorsements from top DJs. With regular performances across the UK and international showcases from Miami to Ibiza, he has proven himself a versatile and compelling presence on the global electronic music stage.
With ‘Surrender’, Syncia and CASH ONLY set the tone for a new collaborative series, delivering bass-forward energy, infectious grooves, and fresh creative momentum. Fans and DJs can expect more releases in the coming months, further cementing both artists’ presence in the UK electronic music scene and expanding the growing presence of Famous When Dead Records.
