2Z push creative boundaries with genre-blending EP Highness

2Z is breaking new ground with the release of their latest Highness, which dropped on 19 August via GOGO2020. Known for their awe-inspiring performances and eclectic rock soundscape, the Korean group venture into bold new territory with Highness.

The band collaborated with acclaimed electronic DJ and producer plomo which marked the beginning of their journey which blends rock with electronica. The five track EP merges 2Z’s raw energy with plomo’s refined electronic flair. The project includes two standout tracks, namely ‘Borderline’ and ‘Unreal’. It also features three remixes of previously released tracks, reimagined through plomo’s Techno and big beat lens.

‘Borderline’ unfolds in two emotional parts; the first confronts disillusionment, then it ascends with hope. The track draws inspiration from the unwavering support from the band’s global fanbase. Meanwhile, ‘Unreal’ offers a dreamlike meditation on beauty, fear as well as devotion, with “she” symbolizing music or the fans themselves.

‘Elektro Punk EP’ Lands: Shizo van de Sunflower’s Latest Is a Techno-Punk Knockout

Released on August 1, 2025, the ‘Elektro Punk EP’ proves Shizo van de Sunflower, aka Daniel Blum, still brings it. He blends personal edge with beats that smack you right in the chest. His influences in music started back in the 1980s with C64 and software design, building a sound that’s deep and electrifying, often lacing his music with undertones of dealing with depression and advocating for mental health. He teamed up with Sternentramper for the 2024 “War noch nie Kalifornien – Summer Remix” and caught the ear of acid icons Yves Deruyter and Emmanuel Top. You’ve also seen him at Dresden’s underground joints and Mittelgrün Con 2024.

The EP’s four tracks pull from DAF’s fearless electro-punk vibe, mixing German spoken word with sounds that grab you. ‘Das Mikrofon’ catches you off guard with Kristina Sop’s soprano clashing over a tough EBM beat. ‘James Bond’ pokes fun at the spy legend, its bassline dripping attitude. ‘Ich war mal Punk’ calls out faded punk dreams lost to crypto and property, sharp and biting. ‘Herz aus Stein’ finishes it off with a no-vocals techno rush that’s all adrenaline. It’s a shoutout to the genre’s roots, twisted with a fresh, no-filter spin.

Shizo van de Sunflower revealed: “I was inspired by the raw sounds of DAF’s pioneering era and created four tracks that oscillate between anger, irony and pure dance fever. German lyrics, no compromises.”

MIGLIO’s “Musica Elettronica” Redraws the Club Map with Grit and Memory

Italian artist MIGLIO returns with ‘Musica Elettronica’, a brooding, richly textured single that dives deep into the emotional landscape of electronic resistance. Released via Peroni Dischi on June 27, 2025, the track marks a bold shift in sonic direction—darker, grittier, and strikingly personal.

Known for previous critically acclaimed albums Manifesti e immaginari sensibili (2022) and Futuro Splendido (2023), MIGLIO (aka Alessia Zappamiglio) now ventures further into an experimental domain. Produced by Francesco Fantini, whose avant-garde approach has previously aligned with Lorenzo Senni and Warp Records, this new single blends contemporary songwriting with rugged new wave grit and atmospheric electronics.

‘Musica Elettronica’ is more than a song—it’s an audiovisual statement. It evokes ’80s Berlin and Bologna, referencing containers, urban noise, protest squares, and post-industrial club spaces. With pulsing synths and raw emotional delivery, MIGLIO offers a melancholic yet energetic meditation on escapism, routine, and social unrest.

As she describes it: “It speaks to the tension between routine and the urge to disappear, to break away. Like stepping out of a club and finding yourself in a square, protesting.”

This is slow-dancing in solitude. Music that marches and weeps. And it signals the beginning of a new artistic cycle for one of Italy’s most daring voices in electronic-infused songwriting.

On June 27, 2025, Armin van Buuren unleashed his ninth studio album, Breathe, through Armada Music. This release cements his status as a titan in the trance and electronic dance music scenes. A Dutch DJ and producer, van Buuren has snagged the top spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll multiple times and built a global following with his A State of Trance radio show and festival brand. Spanning two parts – Breathe In and Breathe Out – this 51-track project doubles as a personal milestone, reflecting his recent dive into mental health and self-growth.

The album packs a punch with its range, blending pulsing trance beats with deeper, melodic cuts. Tracks like ‘Let It Be For Love’ featuring JAI RYU bring emotive vocals into the mix, while ‘Is It Beautiful’ serves up the official anthem for A State of Trance 2025. Collaborations with heavyweights like Bon Jovi, Pendulum, and Moby shake things up, layering rock and drum and bass vibes into van Buuren’s sound. It’s a broad, cohesive collection that mirrors his knack for pushing boundaries.

Armin is set to perform at Ushuaïa Ibiza across nine dates from 8 June to 28 September this Summer, secure your tickets HERE
