Tita Lau posing against a bold red background wearing a black patent oversized coat over a black corset dress, with a decorative choker necklace and sleek blonde bob, shot for her 2026 single Freaky.

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.

18 Years Of MGMT’s ‘Kids’ And Its Lasting Impact

MGMT’s ‘Kids’ celebrates 18 years since its release, with the song remaining one of the group’s most recognised tracks worldwide

Eighteen years after its single release, ‘Kids’ remains one of the songs most closely associated with MGMT, even though its story began years earlier. Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser first recorded versions of the track while they were still students, before it later became part of Oracular Spectacular and reached a much wider audience in 2008. Since then, ‘Kids’ has gone from chart success and a Grammy nomination to later versions from major electronic artists, giving the song a history that extends well beyond its original release.

From Wesleyan To ‘Oracular Spectacular’

Before the version most listeners know, ‘Kids’ had already been part of MGMT’s catalogue for several years. An early recording appeared on We (Don’t) Care in 2004. Another version followed on the Time to Pretend EP in 2005, while the pair were still students at Wesleyan University.

Those earlier recordings meant ‘Kids’ was already familiar territory for MGMT when they began work on Oracular Spectacular. Ben Goldwasser has spoken about writing the music while they were still at college. Neither of them could have known then how widely people would eventually hear the song. The album later introduced ‘Kids’ to a much larger audience alongside ‘Time to Pretend’ and ‘Electric Feel’.

‘Kids’ Became One Of MGMT’s Biggest Songs

As Oracular Spectacular gained a wider audience, ‘Kids’ became one of the album’s biggest singles. It reached No. 16 in the UK and spent 48 weeks inside the Top 100. That made it MGMT’s highest-charting single in the country.

The song also brought MGMT recognition at the 2010 Grammy Awards. It received a nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, while the duo also earned a Best New Artist nomination.

Years after its original chart success, the song also found a place with a new generation of electronic artists. KSHMR and Stefy De Cicco released their version with MKLA in 2020. Tiësto later played his own remix at major festivals, including Tomorrowland, while Bassjackers released another version in 2025.

Those reinterpretations are only one part of the song’s history over the past two decades. ‘Kids’ began in MGMT’s university catalogue before becoming part of Oracular Spectacular and finding an international audience. Eighteen years after its single release, it remains one of the songs most closely associated with MGMT and their early career.

Swedish House Mafia have cancelled their highly anticipated Ullevi Stadium show in Gothenburg due to severe weather conditions.

Swedish House Mafia have cancelled their highly anticipated Ullevi Stadium show in Gothenburg due to severe weather conditions, with thunderstorms making it unsafe for the event to go ahead. The trio confirmed the news via their Instagram, stating that the safety of their audience, artists, crew, and staff is their highest priority, and that further information will be shared as soon as possible.

The Ullevi show had been one of the most anticipated dates in Swedish House Mafia’s current run, a homecoming performance in their native Sweden at one of the country’s most iconic stadiums. With a capacity of over 40,000, it would have stood as one of the biggest shows in the group’s history, making the cancellation all the more difficult for the thousands of fans who had travelled to Gothenburg for the night.

No rescheduled date has been announced at the time of writing. Ticket holders should monitor Swedish House Mafia’s official channels for updates on refunds and any further information as it becomes available.

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.
