With ‘Elixir EP’ made by Flash 89 we got surrounded by positive vibes, these two dancefloor oriented pieces got straight to the point thanks to the solid and catchy house music sounds. The Deepshakerz make their appearance on the release too wearing the ‘remixer’ jacket, offering an underground vision of the title track.

This EP carries the interpretations of Jerome Sydenham, Mykel Haze & Plastik Corpse, Dan Wild and Ian Taylor, each song brings different elements from the main theme, adaptating them into creative and organic instrumentals.

IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT IS THE LEAD SINGLE FROM HIS FORTHCOMING NEW STUDIO ALBUM
MARK KNIGHT & BEVERLEY KNIGHT FEAT. LONDON COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT RELEASED: 23 APRIL 2021 FORMAT(S): DIGITAL / STREAMING
Toolroom founder Mark Knight announces new single Everything’s Gonna Be Alright: a sure-fire smash hit and the lead single from his forthcoming studio album.
A long time in the making, Everything’s Gonna Be Alright features vocals from the incredibly talented Beverley Knight as well as the London Community Gospel Choir, who together bring a powerful message of positivity, solidarity and hope that soon things will be alright.
Known for releasing quality club records, his latest release, Mark Knight has gone back to his roots, reprising the sounds and records that made him the DJ he is today. Diving through his extensive collection of classic Funk, House, Soul and Disco records from the 1970s and 80s, Everything’s Gonna Be Alright is an instant hit brimming with nostalgic moments with Marks own authentic take.
Back with a fresh new sound and following on from last year’s smash hit All 4 Love, Mark Knight ups his game, showing off his prowess as a producer and his extensive musical knowledge as a DJ.
Everything’s Gonna Be Alright is the lead single from Mark’s forthcoming album Untold Business, set for release 11 June 2021.
An homage to the soulful, vocal-led house music that Mark first fell in love with in the 90s, the album features further collaborations with the likes of Shingai (Noisettes) Michael Gray, Robert Owens and many more, and aims to set a positive, life-affirming tone with a focus on real instrumentation and properly crafted songs that will stand the test of time.
Amnesia presents PYRAMID, a spectacular Dual Staged, Day into Night, Open Air and Indoor Warehouse Party on Friday 3rd September 2021, bringing Ibiza to London for the first time in the city since the last sell out event at Printworks in 2019.
Programmed from midday until 10.30pm, the all-day summer party will witness Pyramid host an open air stage headlined by Ricardo Villalobos, Honey Dijon, Special Request, Mar-T b2b Luca Donzelli and very special guest, The Blessed Madonna. An indoor warehouse stage is to be hosted by Ibiza born brand Do Not Sleep with Ilario Alicante, Richy Ahmed, Marco Faraone, Sidney Charles b2b Prunk and Ray Mono. After so long away from the dance floor, this is set to be a show that will live long in the memory, and will be the only Pyramid show that will take place in the capital this year. Tickets start at £39.50 with a seven day window to sign up which opens on Friday 23rd April at 11am www.amnesia.london
From the creators of Printworks, The Drumsheds is a ground-breaking new space at Meridian Water in the N18 area, that is easily accessible via London public transport. The former industrial gasworks has four huge interlinked warehouses offering a total capacity of 10,000 people and 10 acres of outdoor space. It is a secluded spot that allows parties to be louder and longer than anywhere else in the capital. The space is a perfect blank canvas that will be transformed with next level production for this Balearic Blow Out.
Pyramid Ibiza is all about taking crowds on an organic journey to another dimension at the hands of the world’s most cutting edge DJs. Pyramid’s unique production and decor is always thought through to the last detail: each event brims with creativity and organic materials, the latest technology, a very special 3D lighting setup and plenty more. This means the party is famed for having an atmosphere that is difficult to explain, an energy that must be experienced to be understood. This might well be your only chance to get a taste of Amnesia’s rare Ibiza magic in the UK in 2021.
Having hosted its own residency at Amnesia since 2018, Do Not Sleep is equally as influential in Ibiza with a distinctive sound and has been firmly established as one of the most popular parties on the island. This year the brand is setting out on a UK tour with arena shows and festival stages scheduled including Albert Hall, Manchester, Highest Points Festival and Milton Keynes Arena for Halloween, amongst others.
When both brands set to fly into London for this all-day party, you can expect the hedonistic sound of the White Isle from the island’s most famous associates.

BSH Island Croatia Announces First Lineups – ‘Amnesia Sunset Fortress Stage’ ft ARTBAT, Mathame + more
Amnesia Sunset Session event to be Held at 17th Century Fortress on Pag Island on 2nd July 2021
BSH Island returns to the idyllic island of Pag for a 5 day open air music weekender from July 1st to July 5th 2021 with the Main Stage taking place at Noa Beach Club, one of the most impressive and stylish venues in the Adriatic region boasting epic views of the crystal blue sea. The world-class BSH Island line up is to be announced soon with Do Not Sleep, Under No Illusion Recordings and Pablo’s House all set to host stages at Noa Beach Club with after hours sessions at the equally essential Kalypso Club.
The Fortress of Pag welcomes Amnesia, one of Ibiza’s most iconic brands, this magical off-location sunset showcase will take place at the spectacular Fortress on Friday July 2nd from 4pm to 11pm as the highlight of the BSH Island music weekender. The Ibiza superclub will set-up at the breathtaking 17th century Fortress, which was established to monitor the sea on what used to be a very busy route vulnerable to pirates. It has uninterrupted views of the sea, with historic architecture and a real old-world feel that makes it an unforgettable setting and backdrop for the a fitting lineup and soundtrack from Ukranian melodic techno innovators ARTBAT, Italian duo Mathame who always bring real emotion to their sets, as well as Brina Knauss and Amnesia mainstay Luca Donzelli.
Tickets for this one-off limited capacity Amnesia sunset party located at the Fortress are limited and are available as a single event ticket, or as a part of a package with the rest of BSH Island program, https://www.croatia.amnesia.es
Says Amnesia of this link-up: “The Fortress is a truly stunning setting and we will bring with us all the party know-how and unique atmospheres that make our events the most talked about in the world and cannot wait to meet you all.”
BSH Island is famous for organising one of the very few European events that went ahead on the famous Zrce beach last summer “Keep The Distance”. It successfully followed all epidemic rules and safety measures in the famous location which usually hosts the likes of Sonus and Hideout festival. Now it has evolved into a huge open-air weekender with a reputation to match. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to dance in a historic setting during the much anticipated main BSH Island in July.
Noa Beach Club states “We are very proud to combine our expertise with the world-famous Amnesia, the fortress event will undoubtedly be something you cannot miss out on this summer.” BSH say, “We have worked hard to build a proper party for proper music lovers and so this is a real recognition that we have done things right, and it feels super special that we have managed to secure this out of the world setting for such a magical occasion.”
Artist: Gåddisøn Title: 848 Label: Gåddisøn Music Cat. #: GM003 Release Date: 30th April 2021 Tracklist: 1. 848 2. I Know You 3. Sun Down
Gåddisøn builds on his self-titled new label’s early success with a third fantastic release that showcases the talents he has been honing for the last 20 years.
UK based Gaddison has been deeply entrenched in the house and techno underground for the last two decades, often veering towards the more minimalistic corners of the spectrum. Operating out of Surrey but with a rising international profile, he has played vital venues like 93 Feet East and Ministry of Sound. He draws on years of clubbing experiences and takes influence from elements of garage, jungle, drum & bass and hardcore. All of this has helped him serve up killer tracks for labels like Whoyostro, Maintain Replay Records and Quanticman Records, often while picking up chart-topping positions on sites like Juno and Beatport. What’s more, the first two releases on this label, focussing on Gåddisøn’s own music, have picked up support from those in the know, such as Stacey Pullen, Terry Francis and Marco Faraone.
The supple and hypnotic opener ‘848’ pairs rubbery dub drums and well swung wooden hits with deft synth design. It makes for a cavernous atmosphere that draws you in ever deeper. The heavier ‘I Know You’ has earth rumbling drums that march along beneath twisty, dystopian synth motifs. It’s a futuristic sound with a serious groove. Stylish closer ‘Sun Down’ is another warm and deep cut techno roller with the sort of expansive cosmic synth work that has you gazing off into the distance.
These high-class tracks mark another standout release on this already vital young label.

On April 29th, 24 hours before the release of her new Formula EP, Belgian techno titan Charlotte de Witte is to headline a historic live stream. ‘New Form’ IV: Formula is presented by Formula 1®, Beatport and KNTXT at the world-famous track owned by Ferrari, the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello in Tuscany, Italy.
Despite the global pandemic, Charlotte has not let up. Her label continued to serve up techno from the cutting edge, she held down various high profile streams during lockdown and also got voted as the World’s Number 1 DJ by DJ Mag’s Alternative Top 100 poll. She ended the year with a spectacular set on the virtual MainStage of Tomorrowland on New Year’s Eve and now races out of the blocks with yet another landmark stream and exciting new EP.
Charlotte has long been a lover of adrenaline sports, something she got to enjoy in real life when she attended the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix in 2019.
Speaking about the much-anticipated stream, Charlotte says: “After re-discovering DJ Visage’s Schumacher track, I was inspired to use unconventional racing sounds and incorporate them in my productions. I’ve always been a huge fan of adrenaline and speed. Whether it’s driving motorcycles or downhill skiing, the thrill-seeking aspect of these activities have always captivated me. It’s the same thrill that drives me in my performances to massive audiences. As a Belgian, F1 holds a special significance in our culture, with the iconic annual Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix.”
Meanwhile, her new Formula EP is available to pre-order digitally on Beatport ahead of release on April 30th. The EP is just as thrilling and intense as F1® itself. It starts with ‘Doppler’, a heavyweight techno weapon with shuffling drums and urgent alarm-like synths shooting over the bulky groove. It’s one to keep you on edge as the strobes flash on a vast dance floor. ‘RPM’ ups the ante further with blistering acid lines flashing about the mix. Rooted drums roll on in unrelenting fashion and a lead synth takes you down a deep, dark rabbit hole. ‘Formula’ then rounds out in urgent fashion with the sound of revving engines, hammering hits and haunting melodic loops all making for a vast and vital wall of techno sound.
The tracks of the KNTXT010 EP will be exclusively available to purchase on Beatport from the start of the livestream. The official release will be the next day on April 30 on her very own imprint and becomes available via all channels. Charlotte de Witte and KNTXT will also be dropping exclusive merchandise during the livestream that will remain available for 7 days only.
With this arresting and powerful new EP and huge live stream, Charlotte de Witte once again remains in techno’s pole position.
