INsiders Guide: DEAN TURNLEY, NAOMI SHARON, FEID, Jordan Anthony and Chloé Caroline, iiiBEREALZ, Bert, RUEL…

Melbourne DJ Dean Turnley is set to drop one of the most in-demand unreleased club tracks of the year this Friday, via CHAOS in collaboration with HOME//GRXWN.

There’s already serious heat building around this one, and for good reason. The track is built for the club – euphoric and driving, with layered synths geared towards summer and festival season. A rolling, progressive-led beat anchors it, while a 90s-inspired spoken-word vocal cuts through, adding a nostalgic edge that’s hard to shake.

The record has been building steadily through word of mouth since the start of the year, first surfacing in DJ sets before quickly becoming a sought-after ID online. Early momentum was driven out of Melbourne’s tight-knit scene, with Turney and close collaborators Not Without Friends – Jordan Brando, William Kiss and Luke Alessi helping break the record in clubs and online. Support has since snowballed globally, with the likes of Peggy Gou, Rossi., Interplanetary Criminal, KILIMANJARO, Chris Lake, Special Request and Ewan McVicar all playing, requesting or backing the track.

Dean Turnley explains, “I made the track on 404 sampler back in December and it’s been crazy watching the responses as the track was getting its first spins. Excited for it to be out there!” 

Melbourne DJ & producer Dean Turney has spent the past decade building a reputation as a respected underground selector, rooted in Detroit and Chicago house influences. A co-founder of Thailand’s Sundancer festival, he’s also built a growing international presence through both his events and DJ sets, with further festival appearances on the horizon. Momentum around the record has accelerated rapidly in recent months, fuelled by viral moments across DJ sets and social platforms, alongside early support from Rossi., who has championed the track across Europe. With the record held tightly within a select circle of DJs, it’s now widely tipped as one of the most in-demand club tracks in circulation ahead of its official release.

OVO Sound’s Naomi Sharon releases the official video for her newest single, “Miss That,” delivering a vivid choreography-driven video to a record that has earned widespread critical praise. Billboard noted that Sharon “blends the worlds of dancehall, EDM and R&B with ease,” touted by Vibe as a a release “You Need On Your Playlist” and Grungecake declared she “hits her mark with new punchy track ‘Miss That.’” The video is directed by the award-winning Director Zac Dov Wiesel (Audrey Nuna, Megan Thee Stallion).
 
For fans familiar with Naomi Sharon’s progressive R&B songs, the video reveals another side of her artistry: the trained performer. Before launching her recording career, she formally trained at the Academy of Theatre and Dance and spent three years on stage as Shenzi in the Dutch production of The Lion KingSharon brings that theatrical foundation to the forefront on “Miss That,” where movement and music become inseparable.
 
The choreography was created by Amsterdam-based choreographer Jordy Sparidaens, working directly with Sharon during rehearsals to refine, teach, and shape the routine into its final form. The result is a striking, precisely executed visual language that matches the cool, understated confidence of the track itself.
 
“This record gave me space to expand my sound and tap into movement in a new way,” says Naomi. “Bringing choreography into it felt like a natural extension of the song and added another layer to how I wanted to present the energy behind it.”

Global reggaetón star FEID took over Medellín this week with a special, one-night-only performance that sold out within minutes, becoming a trending story this week.

Leading up to the show, the artist had been dropping hints on social media about an upcoming announcement, building anticipation among his fans. This week, he has finally revealed part of the project: EL GREEN PRINT, a program through which his followers could sign up to receive their “USER NUMBER.” As one of the first activations of this initiative, the first registered members in Medellín received exclusive codes that gave them early access to ticket sales for this exclusive show.

The concert took place on Friday, March 20 at the Teatro Carlos Vieco,a 2,500-capacity venue that offered a unique opportunity to see FEID perform live in a more personal setting. The venue holds deep significance in his career, having previously served as the stage for an important moment in his artistic evolution.

From the very start, it felt like a show crafted especially for those who have been with him from the beginning, opening with “El Padrino” and creating moments filled with nostalgia. Throughout the night, he surprised the crowd by including iconic songs from his early days that he rarely performs on other stages, such as “Coment,” “Tengo Fe,” “X TI,” and “XNTXS,” alongside tracks from Vacaxiones, establishing a direct connection with the audience. He also performed songs from his new EP live for the first time, including “Boleritoxx,” “La Mejor Música,” and “TRANKAITO.” It was a moment that clearly reflected the duality between the real Feid and Ferxxo, in an intimate setting that highlighted the essence of his music and the special bond he shares with his fans.

the new single “Existing” from pop artist Jordan Anthony and singer-songwriter Chloé Caroline. The single is a cinematic piano-driven duet celebrating the profound miracle of sharing life with the people we love. “We wanted to capture that surreal feeling of realizing you exist at the same time as someone who changes your life,” says Chloé Caroline. “It’s for that one person who makes everything feel better,” adds Jordan Anthony. “It could be anyone, lover, friend, family. I just want it to bring people together.”

Produced in Los Angeles by Mikeldi Murguia, “Existing” balances the intimacy of its original piano demo with lush cinematic textures and soaring vocal interplay. The track draws sonic inspiration from modern duet classics while carving its own identity, blending Chloé Caroline’s airy emotional nuance with Jordan Anthony’s dynamic, soul-infused power. The collaboration has already generated organic momentum. After debuting the song live at LA’s Hotel Café, the performance moved KOST 103.5 host Ryan Manno to invite the duo for a live iHeartRadio session and interview set to be released alongside the single campaign.

One of UK rap’s most fearless voices has returned to the mic for his ‘FAiiiTH’ EP out today. A powerful collection of 6 tracks, it encapsulates where he is and what he is as an artist; a human and a father.

Through the project he delves into how he views life, the people around him, his own actions and events in his life. Filled with his fresh, unfiltered outlook on life, the tracks are a narrative of iiiBEREALZ poetic thoughts, turning them into lyrical mastery. 

It expresses and demonstrates iiiBEREALZ striving through obstacles and challenges,  keeping the faith and seeing the silver lining and sun after a terrible day. 

He says “It’s my determination, it’s my faith, it’s my heart, it’s my belief, it’s my knowing that myself and others around me can be better. It’s an agreement with myself that I will be better no matter what I face because my focus is making a life for myself and my people around me.”

Raw, commanding and with a flow that’s unique, iiiBEREALZ returns to cement his place in the UK hip hop and rap scene.

Brighton-based songwriter and producer Bert returns with his new single ‘Bump’, a jangly indie-folk pop track that is raw yet warmly melodic. Rooted in a lo-fi, DIY sensibility, the song captures the unfiltered edges of Bert’s songwriting without losing its instinct for hooks.

‘Bump’ is available now on your streaming service of choice via APOLLO Distribution.

Australian singer-songwriter phenom Ruel returns with his long-awaited new track “Don’t Say That” available now via Giant Music – Listen HERE.

“Don’t Say That” offers a strong first glimpse of what listeners can expect from the forthcoming 10-track album Kicking & Screaming, blending the emotional weight of a Freddie Mercury penned ballad with the energy of an upbeat Gracie Abrams pre-summer pop anthem. Listeners have been counting down for this song’s arrival since it was teased as “dst (outro)”, the closing track of Ruel’s sophomore album Kicking My Feet. Fans around the world have been demanding its release with overwhelming pressure mounting online, as the Aussie star has been teasing the song across social media for months.

Following the success of his sophomore album Kicking My Feet, released last October, Kicking & Screaming arrives with 10 entirely new songs to further expand on Ruel’s Kicking My Feet era. Featuring an all-star cast of collaborators including Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, One Direction, Teddy Swims), John Ryan (Olivia Dean, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes), Kenny Beats (Dominic Fike, Vince Staples, Remi Wolf), M-Phazes (Demi Lovato, Eminem, Noah Cyrus), Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift, Niall Horan, Adele) & Leroy Clampit (Lily Allen, Justin Bieber, Finneas).

Rising indie-folk artist False Idah returns with ‘Conditions’, a stripped-back and quietly powerful new single taken from her forthcoming EP ‘Conditions EP Part 1’, set for release April 30th. 

‘Conditions [EP Edition]’ is available now on your streaming service of choice via APOLLO Distribution.

Los Angeles-based post-punk artist Nick Moon has released his latest track, “Setting Sun,” the first single from his upcoming album, Who is the Bone Man. “Setting Sun” is a satirical and playful confrontation of the growing class divide in the United States, served with a side of a dance-worthy beat and a dash of a catchy chorus. “Setting Sun” is available to stream on all streaming platforms now.

“Setting Sun” hits the ground running with a groovy, surf-rock beat, punchy percussives, and provocative lyrics. With a vocal personality akin to none other than David Byrne of the Talking Heads, Nick Moon hooks the audience with the familiar croon off the bat. Moon adopts an exaggerated caricature of a persona in this track, with his mastered deadpan delivery and absurdly compelling sound a la Julian Casablancas, paying homage to additional inspirations such as LCD Soundsystem and Car Seat Headrest. “Setting Sun” features multiple sweeping guitar solos that are as intoxicating as they are electric, getting the audience dancing if they weren’t already. The repeated chorus demands a crowd-wide singalong, with lyrics such as “You’re going out of style / So babe you better run / I’ll meet you there at the setting sun.” Moon’s cheeky, razor-sharp sarcasm will feel instantly familiar to fans of the post-punk scene. Paired with his commanding control over the track’s gritty instrumentals, “Setting Sun” lands as an immediate standout. “‘Setting Sun’ is a fantasy about hunting down rich people on their day of reckoning,” he explains. “When I play the guitar solo live, I like to run back and forth across the stage. I also sing the first few lines of the song to a plastic skull.” Written and performed by Nick Moon, “Setting Sun” was produced by Anthony Rosales and Henry McKenzie.

Buzzy electronic hitmaker Max Styler has released the official remix for his latest single “One More (ft. Ad-Apt)” via his newly-launched imprint Nu Moda. Reimagined by world-renowned DJ and producer Solomun, “One More (ft. Ad-Apt) [Solomun Remix]” is a synth-drenched, groove-inducing take on the propulsive, vocal-driven club mainstay. PRESS HERE to listen to the remix of the undeniable, high-impact club banger built for nights that refuse to wind down and capturing the suspended moment when the bass is still hitting, the lights stay low, and no one’s ready to leave.

“If you know me, you know Solomun is a huge inspiration. Not only to me but to the entire dance music scene,” shares Styler on the collaboration. “The thing that resonates with me most about him is it’s all about the music first. It comes from a place of love for the craft which is why he is one of the greats and it’s inspiring to see him win for years on end. He’s really just a genuinely humble and nice human being with incredible taste in music, which is exactly the type of people I like to surround myself with personally and the kind of people I want on my label. The support he has shown me means the world and getting him on my label to remix my latest record “One More” is a dream come true. It’s no shock the remix is standout. It really brings a fresh new take to the original that I love.”

Debuting at Solomun and Styler’s Reframe Studios show in LA last year, the remix is indie dance excellence and demonstrates the monolithic talent and the ingenuity for building tension to its most impactful point that has made Solomun a pillar of the underground for more than two decades. On “One More (ft. Ad-Apt) [Solomun Remix],” Ad-Apt‘s spoken-word rhyme schemes shine and the track’s indie energy is sent into overdrive with taut drum loops punctuated by sonorous low-end swells, oscillating leads, clattering synth sequences, and polyphonic talkbox manipulation all of which build upon the after-hours glow of the original that earned it radio play from BBC Radio 1Capital DanceSiriusXMTriple JKiss FM AUS538 Dance Department, and many more.

“Usually I test new tracks or remixes in my sets long before the original artist hears them, but this time it happened differently,” adds Solomun“I had finished the remix and brought it to my show in LA, where Max had played earlier that night. I hadn’t told him the remix was done, I wanted to surprise him. When I played it during the set, it was the first time for both of us to hear it together. After so many years of playing and testing music in clubs, it was a special moment for me. I realized I had never played a track for the first time while the original artist was standing right there. Max is an incredibly talented producer and a genuinely kind person. His releases on Diynamic have always stood out. I’m glad the remix is finally out.”

R&B visionary Arin Ray returns with his latest single “Both Of Us,” marking his first solo release since Phases III, the latest installment in his acclaimed EP series. Get it HERE. Watch the official lyric video HERE.

On “Both Of Us,” produced by Paperboy Fabe (Brent Faiyaz, Meek Mill, Juice WRLD,) Arin Ray leans fully into self-awareness, delivering one of his most unguarded performances to date. Floating over warm, guitar-laced production, he confronts the parts of himself that do not go down easy, from selfish habits to toxic cycles and the weight of decisions that continue to follow him. There is no deflection here, only clarity. And in that clarity, a hard truth emerges as he questions whether love can survive the version of him that is still figuring it out.

The record moves with quiet confidence, building into something expansive and almost euphoric even as its core remains heavy. That contrast between weight and release sits at the center of what Arin does best. He does not chase redemption. He sits in the work, allowing the music to reflect exactly where he stands right now.

Chris Stussy shares second single from debut album, as he teams up with Tom Did It for “Wide Awake.” Out now, the second single falls alongside the reveal of the album’s collective chapter, Found.

With his debut album Lost, Found & Forgotten… arriving on April 3, Up The Stuss founder Chris Stussy reveals the details for its second chapter, Found. Capturing the spark of inspiration and the moments when ideas connect and come to life, it reflects the creative energy that often drives his music – with the LP’s second single “Wide Awake”, featuring UK talent Tom Did It, heading up this vibrant, collaborative chapter.

Landing on March 20, the single marks the arrival of a long-awaited ID and a record that has already made its mark, most notably at Magazine in London, where Tom Did It joined Chris in the booth for a moment that left a lasting impression.

The six-track chapter is defined by shared exploration, uniting diverse perspectives and creating tracks where melody, groove, and emotion converge. “Wide Awake” exemplifies this spirit, with luminous synths, driving percussion, and harmonic shifts bridging dancefloor energy and reflection.

DJ/producer phenom M-High delivers his debut on DJ Tennis Life and Death with “Taking Time,” the lead single from his upcoming Dark Web Pinger EP. 

Leading the latest wave of groove-focused house music producers, M-High has been on a non-stop roll, churning out high-impact tunes that have been topping Beatport’s charts and earning support among DJs likes Chris Stussy, Marlon Hoffstadt, and KETTAMA. 

“Life & Death has been a bucket list label for me since day one. I’ve always been inspired by the way DJ Tennis approaches music and the whole philosophy around the label. One record can be deep and emotional, the next one raw and club-focused, but it still feels like it belongs to the same world. That balance is something I am always chasing in my music. In a world that is focused more and more on short-term wins and commercial performance, I really can tell that Tennis still values the art and process of making music the most, which is something I really appreciate”
— M-High

Sonia Stein arrives with her beautifully crafted new EP ‘Golden’. Stepping to her final pregnancy chapter before motherhood, the project is a raw, reflective collection of songs that revisits her twenties, as Sonia reclaims emotions she once thought were ‘too much’, with a reflective compassion and clarity. 

Comprised of favourites ‘Eyes’ and ‘Hell Ride’, alongside three new tracks ‘Ghost’, ‘So Close’ and focus track ‘Golden’, the EP is a heartfelt coming-of-age meditation, exploring the quiet cost of chasing purpose and demanding clarity – only to realise the slow, uncertain, and even painful moments were quietly golden all along. The project was expertly co-written by Polish indie-pop artist Julia Pośnik, (praised by Rolling Stone with gold-certified releases and performances at Open’er, Męskie Granie, and FEST Festival) and Grammy-nominated songwriter Taneisha Jackson (previously worked with John Legend, Doja Cat). Additional co-writers and producers on the project include London-based producer JungleboiBubba McCarthy and PALMR

The first track on the EP ‘Eyes’, is a song inspired by the instant spark when two people connect, and that sudden rush when you meet someone and everything changes. ‘Hell Ride’ notes the intoxicating feeling of an all encompassing, gut-wrenching love, whilst ‘Ghost’ is a beautifully raw tribute to Sonia’s late friend. ‘So Close’ turns up the heat, capturing the feeling of undeniable chemistry and passion, and ‘Golden’ closes out the EP perfectly, providing a gentle reminder to slow down and savour the simple moments in life. 

Discussing the meaning behind the project, Sonia explains“This EP is my last project before crossing the threshold of motherhood. The songs feel like a trip or tour through my mind in my early and mid twenties, the intensity of the emotions that come with that time, having a little more space and compassion and humour for them now with enough distance. It feels good to own the parts of myself that used to feel embarrassing or ‘too much’ and interpret them from the vantage point I have now.”
