The Cataracs Are Back With Dev, and It Feels Like 2010 All Over Again
We don’t need a time machine to relive the 2010s because The Cataracs are officially back with new music. After 14 years, the duo has reunited and is set to release “Make Ya Body Whistle” with Dev on February 21, 2025.
For those who grew up on their music, this moment is surreal. The Cataracs were responsible for shaping an era of electronic and hip-hop-infused party tracks that defined a generation. Songs like “Like a G6” and “Bass Down Low” became global hits, introducing millions to their unique production style. The announcement of their return has sparked excitement from longtime fans who never thought they would see another release from them.
A Full-Circle Moment for KSHMR Fans
It is hard to believe that I have been a fan of KSHMR since his early days as part of The Cataracs, and now, after all these years, it feels like everything is coming full circle. Niles Hollowell-Dhar went on to become one of the most recognized producers in electronic music, but his roots were in this duo. Seeing him return to this project brings back memories of an era when their music was everywhere, and it is clear that many fans feel the same way.
The teaser for “Make Ya Body Whistle” suggests that this is not just a nostalgic throwback. The visuals feature futuristic, liquid-metal aesthetics with a whistle at the center, signaling a fresh take on their identifiable and unique sound. Instead of trying to recreate the past, The Cataracs seem to be embracing their evolution while staying true to the style that made them stand out in the first place.
David “Campa” Singer-Vine: The Other Half of the Original Duo
While KSHMR went on to dominate the electronic music world, David “Campa” Singer-Vine was equally instrumental in shaping The Cataracs’ signature sound. As co-producer and songwriter, he played a crucial role in crafting the duo’s infectious blend of hip-hop and electronic music, contributing to hits like “Like a G6” and “Bass Down Low.”
After departing in 2012 to focus on songwriting and production, Campa largely stayed behind the scenes, working on various projects outside the mainstream spotlight. Now, over a decade later, he is officially back alongside KSHMR, reuniting The Cataracs in full force. His return ensures that their upcoming music stays true to the roots that made them a defining act of the 2010s while embracing the evolution of their sound.
Dev’s Return Completes the Comeback
A Cataracs reunion would not be complete without Dev. Her voice was a key part of their biggest tracks, and her role in this comeback makes it feel like a true return rather than just a one-off release. Over the years, she has continued to build her solo career, but her chemistry with The Cataracs was something that set their music apart. Now, after more than a decade, they are back together and ready to introduce a new era of their sound.
What Comes Next?
With “Make Ya Body Whistle” just days away, there is already speculation about whether this marks the beginning of something bigger. Is this a one-time release, or could there be an entire project in the works?
Regardless of what happens next, the excitement around their return proves how much of an impact they had. Fans who spent the early 2010s blasting their music are now getting to experience a moment they never thought would come. Whether it is nostalgia or curiosity about their next chapter, one thing is clear: The Cataracs are not just back, they are making people talk.
February 21 is going to be a day to remember as we’ll be reliving all our 2010’s vibes all over again!

After opening his label’s doors to fresh releases from UK producers James Hurr and Loz Seka, FLAMENCA Records boss STBAN returns to the imprint with his brand new single ‘Habibi’, out April 10th worldwide.
A scorching slice of percussive Afro-Latin House, ‘Habibi’ sees STBAN collaborate with two stars of the Spanish music scene – DJ and percussionist Javi Torres, and singer and DJ Alba Dreid. The result is a dance floor weapon that combines the heat and flavour of Arabesque vocals and instrumentation with thundering basslines and relentless rhythms.
Javi Torres is known across southern Europe and Latin America for his explosive Afrohouse and Latin Tech sets, performances enhanced by live percussion inside the mix. The Seville-based artist counts support from some of electronica’s biggest names, including Martin Garrix, Alok, Jamie Jones, Hugel, Aaron Sevilla, Roger Sanchez, Mëstiza, MichaelBM, Tom & Collins, Novak, Nicky Romero, Paco Osuna, Salvarote Ganacci and Sammy Porter. Known throughout Spain after winning the RTVE programme ‘La Bien Cantá’, Alba Dreid’s focus is set firmly on bringing Spanish folklore to a global audience, making her a perfect fit for STBAN’s ongoing mission to fuse traditional flamenco with electronic music through FLAMENCA Records’ growing discography.

April keeps moving and this week brings another round of new releases across the scene. From David Guetta, Afrojack, and Sia coming together to Anyma teaming up with Lisa, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Afrojack, David Guetta & Sia – Awake Tonight
In a long-awaited reunion, Afrojack, David Guetta, and Sia reconnect on ‘Awake Tonight’, marking their first release together since ‘Titanium’ in 2011.

Anyma x Lisa – Bad Angel
With his Coachella performances set for the same week, Anyma teams up with Lisa on ‘Bad Angel’, releasing the track just days before introducing his ÆDEN show on that stage.

Armin van Buuren, Olive Anguz – Vem Comigo
After first appearing in his sets during ADE, Armin van Buuren has collaborated with Olive Anguz on ‘Vem Comigo’, a track he has continued to play across festival stages before its official release.

Virtual Riot – Burning Out (Album)
After previewing several tracks across recent months, Virtual Riot releases his third studio album ‘Burning Out’, bringing the full project together following that rollout. The album moves between heavier bass records and more melodic tracks, reflecting a shift in his recent output, with the project landing as part of New EDM Friday April 10.
GoldFish – Little Wonder
Global electronic duo GoldFish return with ‘Little Wonder’, an uplifting new single featuring legendary South African vocalist Zolani Mahola, via their own label 33 Degrees. The track marks the genesis of a new chapter for the duo, signaling a broader creative evolution: One rooted not only in sound, but in lifestyle, storytelling, and cultural perspective.
HI-LO, Brennan Heart, Project Zeitgeist – Adagio For Strings
Taking on one of the most recognisable melodies in electronic music, HI-LO, Brennan Heart, and Project Zeitgeist revisit ‘Adagio For Strings’, bringing it into a heavier direction through their combined styles.

Sara Landry, Godtripper – Hekataia (EP)
Following their earlier release ‘Chaos Magicka’, Sara Landry and Godtripper return with ‘Hekataia’, a new EP out on her Hekate Records imprint. The project stays in line with the high-BPM, industrial techno direction she has been playing in recent sets, while also expanding the catalogue of her own label, making it a strong addition to New EDM Friday April 10.

New EDM Friday April 3 is here with new music from John Summit, Anyma, Hardwell and more
The first Friday of April is officially here, and artists across the scene are continuing to push collaborations into new territory. From John Summit linking with Feid to Anyma working with Joji, these are the releases you cannot miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
John Summit & Feid – CHICA 305
In one of the more unexpected pairings this week, John Summit teams up with Feid on ‘CHICA 305’, bringing a Latin influence into his club-driven sound after the two worked on the record in Miami. The track leans into that setting, with Feid’s vocal carrying the late-night feel while Summit keeps the groove locked in, also marking one of the standout releases on New EDM Friday April 3 ahead of his upcoming album Ctrl Escape later this month.
Anyma & Joji – Beautiful
Anyma steps into his next phase with ‘Beautiful’ alongside Joji, introducing the first release tied to The Dawn of ÆDEN. Joji’s vocal adds a different tone to the record, but the production stays consistent with what Anyma has been building through his recent Afterlife run.
Hardwell & Braev – Believe
Hardwell brings ‘Believe’ out after first introducing it as his Ultra Miami 2026 intro, continuing the direction he has been pushing since his return. The track follows that same structure heard in his recent sets, with Braev’s vocal leading into a drop designed for large festival stages.
Eli Brown & Pan-Pot – Coming In Heavy
Eli Brown and Pan-Pot link up on ‘Coming In Heavy’, which lands as the 100th release on Arcane. The record keeps things direct, focusing on groove and tension, and reflects the kind of techno both artists have been known for across club circuits.
Kill the Noise & Bro Safari (Kill Safari) – Kill Safari EP
Kill the Noise and Bro Safari bring back Kill Safari with a new EP, continuing the return of a project that has always leaned heavier than their solo work. The release builds on that identity, following earlier hints of the alias coming back into rotation.
INFEKT – ORGANIC DUBSTEP EP
INFEKT expands on his current direction with the ‘ORGANIC DUBSTEP EP’, an eight-track release on Port Zero that focuses on stripped-back dubstep. The project builds on the sound introduced on the title track across a full project, adding a heavier edge to New EDM Friday April 3.
Of The Trees x LYNY – Hollow
Less than two months after the release of the critically acclaimed concept album ‘Moonglade Park’, Of The Trees returns with a major collaboration with rising artist/DJ, LYNY, ‘Hollow’ via Memory Palace and signals a bold sonic shift to the introspective mood of Moonglade Park. ‘Hollow’ continues the narrative and sound universe introduced in Moonglade Park. While the previous LP emphasized immersive, chill soundscapes, the new single leans into more energetic, dancefloor-ready roots – demonstrating the breadth of his sonic vision.
FISHER & Tones and I – Favour
FISHER teams up with Tones and I on ‘Favour’, pairing his house production with one of Australia’s most recognisable voices. The track keeps things accessible without moving too far away from his usual sound, arriving just ahead of his OUT 2 LUNCH Festival next month.
