Side Effect (feat. Au/Ra)
ALOK JOINS FORCES WITH VOCAL SENSATION AU/RA ON ‘SIDE EFFECT’ – EXPERIENCE THE NEW SINGLE IN 360 REALITY AUDIO!
With one of his most fruitful years to date, 2021 saw Brasilian’s biggest artist ALOK not only retain but strengthen his stance in the industry, surpassing over 20 million monthly listeners and also rising up the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s Poll to #4. Following on from some of the biggest and noteworthy collaborations with artists including John Legend and remixes for names including Ed Sheeran, he now links up with global sensation Au/Ra to usher in the new year on ‘Side Effect’!
Still just 19-years-old, Au/Ra has already earned a global following which has resulted in over a billion streams to date and 7.5 monthly listeners at Spotify. ALOK is the latest high profile collaboration from the alt-pop artist, having achieved the UK Top 25 and Top 10 Billboard Dance hit 'i miss you' with Jax Jones; another huge chart hit with Camelphat on 'Panic Room'; and 500 million streams for the Alan Walker collab 'Darkside'. The Germany/Antiguan talent, who has also collaborated with Don Diablo and Cheat Codes, is building up for a huge 2022 as 'Side Effect' follows her recent single 'plz don't waste my youth’.
Now, joining together for ‘Side Effect’, ALOK and Au/Ra combine their wealth of talents to present a prosperous and club-ready banger to the masses. As ALOK’s production creeps into the introduction with strokes of progressive-leaning synth that merge with mutating house beats, AU/RA’s vocal evolves from the breathy to a snarling, attention-demanding tone of delivery, smooth yet perfectly complimenting the ensuing deep and melodic studio sound. “It’s a side effect of love to want it all…” builds-up the topline, matter-of-factly you may not first notice, as something we can all relate to, it’s an affecting ethos that is elevated through melodic electronica and in taking an in-depth exploration through electro that meets deep house, proves its perfect for the dancefloor and the perfect antidote to the Winter months, kicking off 2022 with a bang!
The new single will also be available in 360 Reality Audio, immersive music experience utilizing Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound technology. Individual sounds such as vocals, chorus, piano, guitar, bass and even sounds of the live audience can be placed in a 360 spherical sound field, giving artists and creators a new way to express their creativity.

I’m excited for everyone to hear ‘Side Effect’ and kick-off 2022 with a bang!”
Speaking on the release Au/Ra said: “So excited to be collaborating with Alok. He’s such a well-respected DJ, especially in Brazil - I’m so excited for our fanbases to hear the track! This song is about the hurt that can come along with being vulnerable in love. Taking chances with your feelings can go both ways, but it’s somehow always worth the risk.”

Ain't No Sunshine (feat. Jasmine Pace) [Arem Ozguc & Arman Aydin Remix]
Turkish up-and-comers Arem Ozguc & Arman Aydin work their remix magic
Dubdogz and JØRD’s ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ (feat. Jasmine Pace) returns in cool new guise
One of last year’s biggest tunes, Dubdogz and JØRD’s rendition of soul classic ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, is now back in the shape of an electrifying remix. Joining forces for this honorable task are Turkish rising stars Arem Ozguc and Arman Aydin, laying down wonderful layers of sturdy deep house beats, vocal effects and catchy new arrangements. The soulful vibe persists, courtesy of Jasmine Pace’s outstanding vocal efforts, while the fresh production takes the track’s energy up a few notches, clearly marking the emerging talents of the remix duo. Find your spot in the sunshine again, as it’s out now on Spinnin’ Records.
‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ turned quite some heads last year. Using the melody and vocal lines of Bill Withers’ eponymous soul classic, the deep sound of Brazilian sweethearts Dubdogz and JØRD added a catchy dance vibe, while Belgian singer Jasmine Pace brought new dimensions to Withers’ original lyrics. The track caught worldwide attention, by now counting over 5 million Spotify streams alone - making way for a new 2022 version to hit the streets.
Taking up this honorable task are two fast risers of the global dance music scene. Turkish hot shots Arem Ozguc and Arman Aydin have been making incredible moves in recent; DJ support from the biggest names around, reaching the Spotify Turkey Top 20 with every recent release, racking hundreds of millions of views on their Tiktok videos and continuously pushing the envelope when it comes to inventive new dance productions.
‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ is their next musical milestone. As the original thrives on a sweet Brazilian bass groove, the Turkish duo adds a punchy beat, strong percussion and dark bass chords in the lower regions, providing the song with a more gritty club feel. This mood is further enhanced by cool triplet inspired beats, dropping deep into the tune’s alluring pitched down vocal line.
Arem Ozguc & Arman Aydin have delivered a mighty remix here, using the soulful sounds of Bill Withers’ original, as well as the warm rhythms of last year’s hit. The result is an energetic and dark edged dance tune, taking this record sky high once again.
“Dubdogz and JØRD have been inspirational acts for us, and they asked us to remix their rework of an insane classic. It feels great to be asked to remix such amazing producers.”
- Arman Aydin

Forever Alive
Rising Dutch DJ Justus is ‘Forever Alive’ According to New Single
Justus’ latest single ‘Forever Live’ is one of the rare tracks that lives up to its dramatic title . From the composition to the production, the vast space given to each element in the track brings out a commanding big-room vibe that simply says ‘I’m here to stay’. Already receiving nods from stars like Tiësto and David Guetta, as well Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Afrojack, W&W and Nicky Romero, ‘Forever Alive’ represents the next generation of mainstage dance talent.
At only 21 years old, rising Dutch electronic producer and DJ Justus (a.k.a. Justus Schipper) has proven himself to be a true go-getter, having already toured internationally and released on today’s heavy-hitter dance labels Spinnin’ Records and Armada.
Justus’ story begins in 2014 at an all ages Afrojack show at Ziggo Dome Amsterdam. Mesmerized by the energy of it all - the live production, music, crowds dancing in unison - Justus went home that night and bought his first DJ set. Quickly his love for DJing shifted from just a hobby to a career path. It wasn’t long before he landed some small club gigs, though he soon realized the value of making his own music if he wanted to advance in the industry as an artist. Luckily this transition came naturally to Justus as he was already equipped with an affinity for music and 6 years of drumming experience. He drew on his previous musical education and deep inspiration by the likes of Avicii, Axwell and Afrojack to create his signature sound; the melody driven, feelgood and energetic music you hear from Justus today.
