BNR kicks off 2023 by making good on a past promise. “Love & Validation,” BOYS NOIZE and KELSEY LU‘s sex-paced industrial ballad, never received an uptempo club treatment – until now. The “Love & Validation Remixes” EP offers three new flavors of elevated atmosphere, syrupy vocals, and body-tuned rhythms from ELAX, MARCEL DETTMANN, and the elusive JACKSON.
The recording of “Love & Validation” was an international affair, written and recorded in LA where Lu is based. The remix EP, however, begins with a double dose of Berlin courtesy of MARCEL DETTMANN, a central figure in the city’s Berghain era. DETTMANN keeps the vocals and atmospheric refrain intact but surgically implants a thumping techno backbone so loosely-quantized it’s almost tribal. The new rhythm and arrangement are transformative, as if a track meant for (ahem) horizontal listening suddenly stood up vertically, taking it from the bedroom to the big room.

Lopezhouse return to Bedrock after their debut album ‘Apollo’ came last year as part of the groundbreaking Quattro Artists release. Over the last ten years the pair of David López and Carlos Cruz have really excelled with their emotive and stylish sounds and now their Iraila EP is their fourth single release on Bedrock.
Iraila opens up with deep rolling grooves and scintillating chords. They are layered up over the drums and bring a sense of spiritual awakening that will make a truly impressive impact in the club when the whole thing finally peaks. Motorstellar sinks into an equally deep vibe with more smooth drums and icy percussion. Another smart breakdown gets the hairs standing on end before the tune carries you away once more.
This is another winning EP from Lopezhouse.

Faithless’ Sister Bliss commented:
Henri Bergmann’s trajectory in 2022 has been nothing short of stratospheric; whether remixing for, or by, Echonomist, Mia Mendi, Johnathan Kaspar, Dee Montero and Murat Uncuoglu (to name but a few); collaborating with Biesmans or touring the globe, she’s swiftly moved to the apex of dance music’s creative illuminati.
Now she delivers her first mixed compilation for Renaissance, a clubbing bastion who are synonymous with the format. “It’s a pleasure and honour to take on this mix for Renaissance,” she says, “They know a thing or two about what makes a comp’ work in this style and genre so the pressure was on to deliver. The mix is an eloquent snapshot of recent favourites, current and future bombs and, of course, a few of my own productions for good measure!”
True to her word, Henri kicks the mix off with her gorgeous rework of Dee Montero’s ‘Solena’ and then proceeds to swiftly shift through the gears over the course of the next hour. Along the way she features Adriatique, Denis Horvat, WhoMadeWho, Toto Chiavetta, Final Request and more; even her very latest single, the Tale Of Us championed ‘Simulacrum’ is woven into the deft soundscape. “It’s always a challenge and self-debate over what, and what not to include, but overall, I had real fun putting it together. I hope people enjoy it,” she happily concludes.
Tracklist:
1 ) Dee Montero – Solena (Henri Bergmann Remix)
2 ) White Label
3 ) Toto Chiavetta – Automation
4 ) Henri Bergmann, Wennick – Simulacrum
5 ) Henri Bergmann, Biesmans – Mind Control (Echonomist Remix)
6 ) Daniele Di Martino – Prometheus
7 ) WhoMadeWho – Silence & Secrets (Adriatique Remix)
8 ) Avangart Tabldot – Jaxa
9 ) Dor Danino – Who’s The mother
10 ) Denis Horvát – Cha Cha
11 ) White Label
12 ) Final Request – The Ultimate

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – October 20, 2022: MDLBEAST has just announced their headline acts set to perform at the SOUNDSTORM 2022 music festival taking place in Banban, Riyadh over the weekend of December 1-3.
This year’s SOUNDSTORM is the third edition of MDLBEAST’s flagship event and is anticipated to bring some of the biggest artists to Riyadh. Drawing in talents from near and far, SOUNDSTORM is the largest music festival to take place in the Middle East, and for some of the artists involved, it will be their first time ever performing in the Kingdom.
Delivering best in-class entertainment, this year’s lineup will be expanding even further to include cross-over genres, which will come to life through performances from some of the world’s bestselling artists including Bruno Mars, DJ Khaled , Post Malone and Wizkid.
Over the three-day event, a wide array of international names like Marshmello will be performing along with returning DJs such as Carl Cox, Solomun, DJ Snake and David Guetta. Saudi women DJs such as Biirdperson, DJ Cosmicat, Dorar, Kayan, and Solskin alongside their peers Dish Dash, Vinylmode and regional star DJ Aseel. More names are expected to be announced soon.
Talal Albahiti, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Talent Booking at MDLBEAST, said: “Saudi Arabia’s music scene has been thriving for the past two decades behind closed doors. With every edition of SOUNDSTORM, we further blow these doors wide open. It’s incredibly special to see music lovers enjoy this new reality, in a safe space with the highest standards of music entertainment.
“Talent is at the heart of everything we do at MDLBEAST. As well as bringing superstar global headliners to the Kingdom, it is also essential to us that we center our efforts on showcasing unseen talent from across the region.
“Feedback from the artists has been great so far. The buzz is real and is driving us to put on an even bigger and better show in 2022 for the whole world to come and enjoy.”
Organizers of the festival revealed that this year’s festival experience has almost doubled in size with more enhanced food & beverage offerings, open seating spaces to relax and parking on site for all General Admission ticket holders.
Also newly introduced this year, Premium and VIB ticket holders will now enjoy the festival on a connected network of elevated platforms and exclusive viewing areas at stages, on-site parking, and dedicated access at the exclusive VIB entrance. VIB Box guests enjoy the same benefits with the enhancement of private VIB Box valet and entry to their suites.
Last year’s SOUNDSTORM welcomed more than 730K attendees, with 89% expressing that the music festival was “an iconic and culture defining moment”, according to an independent study conducted last year analyzing MDLBEAST’s impact in Saudi Arabia.
SOUNDSTORM tickets were released on September 22nd in four tiers: General Admission, Premium, VIB, and VIB Box. The first batch of tickets dropped were specially discounted in celebration of Saudi National Day, making this batch the lowest-priced tickets of all the batches to come.
