Dance music powerhouse GRYFFIN, rising producer LAVERN, and electro-pop duo AR/CO have enlisted Italian duo Mathame for the newest official remix of ‘Higher Power’ out now via 10K Projects.

The latest remix extends the emotional weight and uplifting spirit of ‘Higher Power’ while offering a fresh perspective for the dancefloor. Mathame’s version chops AR/CO’s ethereal vocals and layers droning synths over pulsating percussion, pushing the original’s anthemic energy into new territory. Transformed through a blend of atmospheric melodies and driving underground rhythms, Mathame have elevated ‘Higher Power’ into a cinematic, late-night club experience.

Mathame’s new remix joins earlier ‘Higher Power’ reworks by Matt Sassari and AVELLO. In addition to heavy-hitting collaborations with Kaskade, Excision, and GRiZ, 2025 saw GRYFFIN tap acts across the electronic music spectrum for official remixes of ‘Air’ and ‘In My Head’ as he continues to cement his place as a leading figure in the scene. GRYFFIN will close out the year with NYE festival appearances at Contact, HiJinx, and Provenance.

All Day I Dream is closing out the year with Glade, a wondrous three-track EP from Argentinian producer Ramiro Drisdale, out now.

Glade brings Ramiro’s atmospheric touch into sharper focus, presenting a fluid collection built around momentum and understated detail. Across the three tracks, he shapes a patient narrative that rises gradually, guided by crisp percussion and warm tonal shifts that open each track into expansive, late night territory. The result is a cohesive journey that reflects his instinct for movement, letting the melodies and rhythms unfold naturally.

“This EP is made up of three tracks, all designed to resonate on the dancefloor. ‘Glade’, ‘Jebel’, and ‘Norte’ each contain organic nuances, but together with their synthesizers they achieve a main-set feel that works very well at key moments in a set. The drums and percussion play a major role in making this happen, as they ensure the groove never fades or if it does, that its drop is striking.” – Ramiro Drisdale

Born in Buenos Aires, Ramiro Drisdale has been releasing music since 2019, building a catalog of uplifting tracks on labels including All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Sudbeat, and The Soundgarden. His work has received support from Lee Burridge, John Digweed, Hernán Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Tony McGuinness, Jimi Jules, and others. Glade marks his first full EP on All Day I Dream, following three consecutive appearances on the label’s Winter Sampler compilations.

Ramiro Drisdale’s new EP caps off a year filled with imaginative releases from Lee BurridgeLost DesertDIM KELLYTim GreenDouble TouchAmand & Capoon, and Khen. All Day I Dream will return in 2026 with their first-ever event in Cape Town on February 6.

Sacha Robotti unlocks the next chapter of I, Robotti with ‘Manifest’, his latest single in collaboration with British stalwart SYREETA, Los Angeles-based producer and vocalist Mikey V, and legendary act Blakkat, out now as part of the Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary.

A fusion of Robotti, SYREETA, Mikey V, and Blakkat’s distinct talents, ‘Manifest’ slips into a hypnotic space where groovy undertones meet spiritual intimacy. Moving with cerebral focus, the track spirals with deep melodies and transportive rhythms, carrying uplifting messages that encourage freedom and self-expression. It’s an otherworldly invitation into dancefloor escapism, a sonic realm where movement becomes meditation and euphoria unfolds into positivity. 

‘Manifest’ is the latest piece of the I, Robotti puzzle. Set to arrive in early 2026, Sacha’s impending debut album is a journey into the experimental, cross-genre sounds that have followed him across two decades and countless time zones. The project reflects the nomadic career he’s constructed while showcasing the friendships he’s developed along the way with collaborations like ‘All Night’ with Sian and JOPLYN and ‘Say It’ with Victoria Rawlins.

From Berlin to San Francisco and beyond, Sacha Robotti has carved his place in the vanguard of underground dance music. His creativity is boundless, extending from his solo project and Slothacid imprint to his work as ½ of Third Culture. I, Robotti is the culmination of his longstanding creative partnership with Dirtybird, following 2014’s Loca Lola, 2017’s Melato Nina, 2024’s ‘Roll With Me’ and collaborations with Kevin Knapp and Kill Frenzy. He returned to the label in 2024 to headline the inaugural edition of Back To Baysics at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza. 

British producer and DJ SYREETA has built a reputation for being authentic, fearless, and inclusive. In addition to residences with HE.SHE.THEY. and ANTS, SYREETA is a regular spinner at parties like Paradise, Elrow, and Circoloco and performer at festivals including Time Warp and Lightning in a Bottle. Releases on Crosstown Rebels, Nervous Records, Eats Everythings’ Edible, and IDRIS’ Sound International have further catapulted SYREETA as a favorite amongst tastemakers and fans alike.

Mikey V is a producer, DJ, and vocalist whose work bridges Los Angeles’ underground house scene with a deep, spiritual sensibility. Over two decades, he has crafted a distinctive sound that flows between groovy, dancefloor-ready rhythms and immersive, meditative textures inspired by his journeys in the Peruvian Amazon. Collaborations with artists like Riva Starr, Camelphat, DJ Sneak, and Sonny Fodera have shaped a versatile discography that spans labels including Classic Music Company, Snatch!, Hot Creations, and Toolroom.

Blakkat has been a driving force in electronic music for over three decades, his career spans a Mercury Prize with M People, remixes for New Order, A Tribe Called Quest, and Chaka Khan, and collaborations with pioneers like Marshall Jefferson and David Morales. Known for bridging cultural credibility with crossover appeal, his catalog includes releases on Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, and Defected. Blakkat joined Sacha earlier this year for ‘The Flood’, the second single off I, Robotti.

Lee Burridge and Lost Desert have unveiled November Snowflakes, a dreamy three-track EP out now via All Day I Dream.

Shaped by the pair’s long-running chemistry, November Snowflakes moves with a sense of wonder, unfolding with gentle percussion, absorbent melodies, and airy textures that are simultaneously familiar and refreshing. Each track carries its own reflective mood, yet the EP flows with the warmth and cohesion that embody Lee and Lost Desert’s creative partnership.

‘Memories Remain (November Snowflakes)’ opens the release with a slow-building glow, weaving sultry vocals and drifting rhythms into an effervescent flow. ‘Ash & Ember’ follows with a more meditative feel, balancing soft tension with a glowing touch. ‘April Fools’ rounds out the EP with a brighter lift, revealing a playful side of their collaboration while keeping the emotional pull at the center of their catalog. 

Legendary DJ, producer, labelhead, and tastemaker Lee Burridge has revolutionized the sound and scene of emotional and melodic house and techno music around the globe. His latest release and first original since 2023, November Snowflakes arrives at a meaningful moment following the Doc’n Roll premiere of Sound of a Dream. The documentary traces Lee’s journey across continents over the last four decades, from cultivating Hong Kong’s 90s underground and the Tyrant era in London to founding All Day I Dream in Brooklyn in 2011. November Snowflakes is an extension of that vision and continuation of the artistry that has defined Lee Burridge as one of dance music’s most influential and enduring figures.

Between his immersive solo EPs, collaborative Lost Desert & Friends series, and regular appearances on the label’s global lineups, Lost Desert has become a mainstay on All Day I Dream. His first release ‘Lingala’ came in 2016 alongside Lee Burridge and has remained a longtime resident and collaborator for both Lee and the label. Lost Desert opened the year with Saudade before joining select dates of the All Day I Dream Tour

November Snowflakes arrives ahead of All Day I Dream’s upcoming showcase in Miami on December 6. Stream Lee Burridge and Lost Desert’s new November Snowflakes EP out now on all platforms.

Miami-based duo Black V Neck and live techno-house act SHADED have teamed up for a brand new single ‘Salmon’ out now as part of Dirtybird’s Flight Week series.

Rippling with wavy synthwork and rhythmic undercurrents, ‘Salmon’ flows with buoyant energy and precise, rolling percussion that keeps the dance floor hooked. The fourth Flight Week release is tenacious yet methodical, showcasing the depth of creative drive that bubbled from the writing camp. An instant head-turner, ‘Salmon’ carries the timbre and spirit of a Dirtybird hit – kinetic, off-kilter and finessed for the dancefloor – while cementing Black V Neck and SHADED in the next generation of label players. 

Miami natives Black V Neck (Ian & Julian) are a prime example of a Dirtybird’s dedication to growing its flock. The duo first appeared on Birdfeed in 2018 with ‘Stop ‘N Go’, being promoted to the main label in 2019 with their Mouth Music EP. Black V Neck have remained consistent faces with their 2020 follow up Bounce EP and an appearance on the 2021 Campout Compilation. This year, the duo helped launch the label’s anniversary celebrations with ‘Check My Brain’ and joined the label at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights and CampINN. ‘Salmon’ serves as Black V Neck’s second Flight Week release, following ‘Drip Drop (Handle That)’ with Life On Planets.

LA-based producer SHADED has a club-centric sound that reverberates throughout underground dance floors around the globe. His party-starting originals and remixes have attracted the attention of Patrick Topping, Tiga, Loco Dice, and The Martinez Brothers, and landed him on labels like John Summit’s Experts Only, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, and Desert Hearts. SHADED debuted on Dirtybird in 2020 with his Holla Atcha Boy EP, of which the title track was later highlighted on Dirtybird’s Heavy Heaters compilation in 2022. SHADED returned to the label earlier this year with ‘Bad Boy’ ahead of his performances at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights and CampINN.

Brazilian newcomer Ribguga is making his label debut with his Brasil EP out now as part of Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary. The collaborative two-track EP features fellow Brazilian acts Balanka and Carvalho (BR).

A vibrant introduction to Ribguga’s playful and percussive approach, Brasil captures the colorful, off-center pulse of the country’s underground dance scene. ‘Talkin’ Too Much’ with Balanka balances slick vocals with rolling low-end groove, while ‘President’ with Carvalho (BR) takes a hazy, late-night edge that threads techno weight through a classic Dirtybird bounce. Together, the two cuts form a snapshot of the next wave of Brazilian talent shaping the label’s global sound.

Dirtybird’s connection with Brazil runs deep, championing acts like Bruno Furlan, Cour T., DJ Glen, and now Ribguga as part of a growing community bridging the continent’s club culture with the label’s irreverent spirit. Building on the success of its Taste Of Brazil compilation and recent debut from BadComppany, Dirtybird will continue to expand its footprint in 2026 with Flight Week Brazil – a multi-city tour celebrating the label’s 20th anniversary and spotlighting rising voices from across the region.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Ribguga (aka Gustavo Ribeiro) is a rising producer shaking up the global electronic scene. Ribguga has released on Cloonee’s Hellbent, CUFF, and Nervous Records and received support from acts like Claptone, BLOND:ISH, Gordo, Mau P, and Solardo.

Los Angeles-based producer and composer Hayes Bradley unveils his most ambitious project to date with Audience, out now via StrataSonic Records. Known for his cinematic scores and ambient compositions, Bradley shifts gears to embrace the dancefloor once again, blending breakbeats, trip-hop, and atmospheric textures into a record that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Following two beatless releases on Secular Sabbath, Audience marks Bradley’s debut with StrataSonic—an independent label celebrated for artistic freedom. The 14-track album channels his background in film and fashion into rich, emotional soundscapes that move with underground energy. Highlights include collaborations with Luna on the ethereal “Dear Treasure,” Amtrac on the soulful “Be Right With You,” and Oxis on the introspective “Wishes.”

“This record came together almost without me realizing it,” Bradley shares. “It feels like my whole life in one place.”

Across Audience, Bradley transforms moments of chaos and vulnerability into rhythm-driven meditations on self-discovery. The result is a deeply layered, immersive listening experience—one that reaffirms his reputation as an artist unafraid to evolve.

Audience is out now on StrataSonic Records.
