SAMANTHA LOVERIDGE'S 'NO MORE' EP HITS #1 ON THE BEATPORT AFRO HOUSE CHARTS

Samantha Loveridge and FOTN (featuring Barbie Mak) have taken No More straight to the top of the Beatport Afro House Charts, sitting at the number one spot after weeks of building support.

The release is out on CamelPhat's label When Stars Align, with early backing from &ME, Argia, DESIREE and Ivory pushing the track across the right dancefloors.

Up next, Samantha heads to Europe on her summer tour, starting at Fabric London and rounding out at Hi Ibiza. The full run still to come.     

COOPER SMITH RETURNS WITH 'ALL NIGHT' VIA RESOUND RECORDS

Cooper Smith is back with All Night, a darker, high-impact club weapon built for peak-time chaos and late-night release.

Following appearances at Ultra Australia, Snow Machine and a direct support slot for James Hype, the new release sees Cooper leaning further into a heavier, more uncompromising sound. Driven by rolling low-end, sharp builds, and the commanding "everybody, rave all night" vocal hook, it's built for the full-pressure main-room moments where the crowd locks in as one.

All Night lands May 15 via Resound Records.

WEIRDTECHNOGIRLFRIEND AND PAUL LE BÁY DROP 'PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY' + EUROPHORIC TOUR

Another massive few weeks for weirdtechnogirlfriend and PAUL LE BÁY, with releases and tour dates continuing to stack up.

Their latest single Put Your Phone Away, with Stephanie B, landed May 8th via Resound Records. Fresh off the back of PAUL LE BÁY's recent collaboration with Orkestrated, both artists are building serious momentum across the scene.

Catch them on the 2026 Europhoric Tour, hitting clubs and festivals across Australia, Europe and New Zealand.

MIKE RISH 'PRIMAH / SPINAKOPT' EP OUT NOW ON TORNN RECORDINGS

Primah / Spinakopt marks the second EP for Mike Rish on Tornn Recordings, built around rolling grooves and high-energy rhythms made for the dancefloor from start to finish.

Following the success of his debut EP Dope Riddim, the early response to Primah and Spinakopt has already exceeded expectations.

TWO NEW RELEASES INCOMING FROM RORY MARSHALL

Follow The Low End is the latest from Rory Marshall, landing on Bush Records on 29th May. Built for dark festival dancefloors and late-night club systems, the release channels his signature stripped-back groove, tension and low-end pressure across two rolling cuts.

The title track drives with minimal percussive drums and a slick acid line that cuts through with hypnotic energy, designed for those peak-time moments where the dancefloor locks in from the first bar to the last.

On the B-side, Name A Better Feeling leans into a funky tom-driven bassline and an eerie vocal hook repeating the title phrase. Rolling, relentless, and crafted for early-hours club rooms.
