Mazro Begins His Bigroom Techno Era With New Track ‘Alive’
Mazro reveals his new bigroom techno direction with his latest track, ‘Alive’, showcasing a fresh, energetic sound that highlights his evolution as an artist.
Mazro signals a clear next step in his sound with Alive, a track that introduces his move toward Bigroom Techno. The release highlights the heavier drums, sharper synth work, and driving structure he has been known for, now pushed further into a style he plans to carry into 2026. With new music already in motion, Mazro sets Alive as the starting point for this updated direction.
How Alive Introduces Mazro’s Updated Sound
Alive continues the traits listeners associate with Mazro, built around firm percussion, direct lead lines, and a structure aimed at large-room settings. The track moves toward the Bigroom Techno style he is now focusing on while still keeping a link to the approach he used in earlier releases. This gives the transition a natural feel and keeps the emphasis on clarity and impact.
Within the broader landscape of Bigroom Techno’s rise, Alive serves as a fitting entry point for his updated direction. Mazro presents the track in a straightforward format, highlighting rhythm and drive without pulling away from what has worked for him so far. It functions as a clean introduction to where he intends to take his sound next, supported by the material he has prepared for release.
Where Alive Fits Within Mazro’s Recent Releases
Alive arrives after a run of tracks where Mazro leaned into polished builds, direct melodic phrases, and a festival-ready layout, as seen in earlier releases like Wild Frequencies and Hold Me Tight. Those tracks placed him within a lane of straightforward, big-room focused production, supported by labels and artists who have kept him on the radar across Spotify and Beatport. Alive continues in that line but applies a heavier, more driving structure that aligns with the Bigroom Techno direction he is now pursuing.
Across his catalog, Mazro has maintained an emphasis on rhythm, clarity, and accessible arrangement. Alive keeps those elements intact while pushing the percussion and synth work into a more forceful framework. This makes the track feel connected to what listeners already know from him, yet still marks a step that points to how his upcoming IDs might expand on this foundation.
Looking Ahead
Alive gives a straightforward view of where Mazro is heading as he moves into his Bigroom Techno focus. The track keeps the core elements that have defined his releases so far while pointing toward a clearer direction for the music he plans to share in 2026. With several IDs ready, Alive functions as the starting point for this next phase and offers listeners a sense of what they can expect from his upcoming work.

The track opens with delicate melodies that slowly give way to thunderous drops and metallic energy, reflecting the duality at the heart of the RENESIS sound – elegance meeting raw intensity in a neon-lit storm.

Her catalog has accumulated over one million streams worldwide, and her performances across the U.S., Canada, and Japan have showcased her ability to transform a stage into a full-blown cybernetic experience.
With SAKURA, RENESIS continues to blur the line between music and cinematic storytelling, delivering an anthem that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Stream “SAKURA” now on all major platforms and step into the neon world of RENESIS.

For Labels and Artists: WARM radio data is driving innovation, networking and growth in the Dance Music Scene
As we move into the last quarter of 2025, it’s clear that radio continues to play a pivotal—yet often underestimated—role in shaping the global music landscape.
WARM is redefining how radio airplay data powers the dance music industry—turning plays into insights that fuel growth for labels, artists, and promoters.
WARM (We Are Radio Monitoring) is a global platform that provides real-time tracking and analysis of radio airplay across thousands of stations worldwide. Designed for artists, labels, publishers, booking agencies, and other music professionals, the tool delivers detailed data on where and when a song is played, offering insights into geographic reach, frequency, and market response.
By collecting and organising this information into personalised reports, WARM enables users to identify patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as unexpected spikes in catalogue plays, regional trends, or the impact of viral moments on traditional media.
Trusted by Ninja Tune, Defected, Good Intent and other companies in the market, WARMM trackS global radio spins across more than 22.000 stations worldwide. WARM provides professionals with the tools to spot trends, measure impact, and expand their reach. In 2025, the company paired this data with new charts, a global radio show, and industry events, cementing radio’s role as a driver of visibility and connection in electronic music.
The Global Dance Radio Chart became a weekly radio show broadcasted by more than 40 radio stations worldwide
WARM has partnered up with Syndicast to produce a weekly dance radio show based on the top20 global dance radio chart, hosted by Rudy Cassago and Lele Zambe.
The show has been running now for 5 weeks, and already has +2 mio listeners via 40+ radio shows. The show is broadcasted on radios like: Moove Ibiza radio, Pulse, Beat and Primal Fm, as well as multiple podcasts. Radios can join the network here.
Using the charts as foundation for a radio show opens up much more value for the artists and labels, as they not only get the recognition through being on the charts, they also get additional radio plays on the radios that have added the weekly show, as well as actual mentions by the radio hosts.
The global dance radio chart is curated through 160 dance-focused radios, based on 24/7 monitoring across 30 countries, and continues to serve as the ultimate barometer of what’s truly resonating in global dance music. The chart is based on radios such as: 538 dance department, Rinse, Dublab, Ibiza Sonica, Loca FM and BBC1.

African Radio Chart: Spotlight on Continental Gems
Launched as part of our global genre-based series, the African Chart reflects the most played radio tracks across the continent, combining real-time airplay data from major broadcasters and key 650 stations. It serves as a vital link between Africa’s dynamic music scenes and the wider international market—enabling artists, labels, and tastemakers to spot emerging hits and regional movements early. The chart offers timely insights into the sounds shaping the future.
“The first 6 months of the year have been hectic to say the least. We began the year with launching both 3 new radio airplay charts, a radio show, a new dance music conference in Lisbon, our annual IMS pre-mixer at IMS as well as a new subscription model and an API for bigger customers. I can’t wait to release what we have for H2, which includes various product updates, conferences and events. A big thanks goes out to all our customers and partners who value accurate radio data. Let’s keep pushing for transparency and clarity around radio”, says Jesper Skibsby (picture) CEO and Founder of WARM.
Events play a key role on WARM’s initiatives:

WARM presented its first conference and it was a successful debut in Lisbon that has established the event as a key meeting point for global and local professionals in the electronic music industry.
Held on April 5th, the event brought together artists, label executives, promoters, and rights organizations for a full day of panels, workshops, and networking. With discussions ranging from music rights and artist development to mental health and international promotion, WARM offered a unique platform for meaningful dialogue and practical insights.
Leading industry players such as Beatport, Labelworx, Unison and Groover contributed to the program, reinforcing the event’s relevance on both local and international levels. The strong turnout and positive feedback underscore the growing importance of collaborative spaces that bridge regional talent with the global music ecosystem. The second edition will be announced for April 2026.

WARM Villa @ IMS x Beatport, Ibiza
The first half of 2025 was highlighted by an electrifying pre‑IMS (International Music Summit) gathering: WARM Villa @ IMS Ibiza, organized in partnership with Beatport. As a flagship event in April, it united artists, industry visionaries, and media influencers to discuss the evolution of dance radio, the path to global hits, and the power of real‑time airplay data.
This gathering not only fostered meaningful connections but also reinforced WARM’s identity as a data-driven thought leader in dance music.
New subscription model and API is now available
WARM launched a new subscription model for all new users, which offers more features, more historical data, better pricing and a better user experience. The trial has been upgraded to 30 days, where you can select any songs in the world, and keep track of the radio airplay.
At the same time, we have released an enterprise API for customers with bigger catalogs or integrations.

In the Press
WARM’s insights and charts have gained international visibility, with recent features in DJ Mag, EDM House Network, Mixmag and several other respected media outlets across Europe, the Americas, and Africa. These spotlights reflect the growing relevance of radio airplay data in today’s music ecosystem and reinforce WARM’s position as a trusted resource for tracking and understanding global music trends.
