Swedish electronic music producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE has dropped a banging summer anthem, ‘No other beat ever hits like this,’ out now across all leading music platforms.
Operating at a driving 124 BPM and composed in the moody, resonant key of 5A (A minor), the track is a masterclass in peak-time energy. But unlike traditional instrumental club tracks, ‘No other beat ever hits like this’ features an infectious, driving vocal hook that serves as a love letter to dancefloor culture itself.
With lines like ‘Every drop, every kick, every high / I fall in love with the volume again,’ the track perfectly captures the euphoric, near-religious experience of bass frequencies taking over a room.
“I wanted the lyrics to act as a mirror to what the crowd is physically feeling in the club,” says HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “When the bass drops, you aren’t just hearing it—you’re feeling it in your chest. That line, ‘Don’t nobody else make the room shake,’ is the exact energy we wanted to inject into this production.”
The single delivers a relentless build-up, culminating in a heavy, bass-driven chorus designed to shake club sound systems. Early tastemaker support suggests the track’s repetitive, hypnotic hook is primed to become a major summer vocal anthem for festival crowds.

BRI FLETCHER – SALT WATER
BRI FLETCHER is crying good tears on her new single, ‘Salt Water,’ an R&B leaning anthem that cleverly uses the healing properties of salt water as a remedy for heartbreak. While the production embraces a smoother, more soulful sound, Fletcher’s signature storytelling remains at the heart of the track, blending emotional honesty with undeniable vulnerability.
The song explores the idea that sometimes the first step toward moving on isn’t pretending you’re okay, it’s allowing yourself to feel everything. Fletcher transforms tears into a symbol of hope: “Thought I’d never be the one to cry online / But WebMD just said I’ll be alright”

HANDSHAKE IN SPACE – THE ONE (THE LOVE OF MY LIFE)
Swedish EDM producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE today announces the release of his deeply personal single, ‘The One (Love of My Life).’ The release date is no coincidence; it marks exactly 35 years since the artist became engaged to the love of his life on Midsummer Eve in 1991.
‘The One (Love of My Life)’ is a tribute to lifelong devotion, inspired by the artist’s wife, whom he met in 1987. The track merges the signature electronic sound of HANDSHAKE IN SPACE with an intimate and vulnerable narrative, creating a unique bridge between the high energy of the club and the sincerity of the heart.
“This song is more than just a production to me; it is my wife’s and my story captured in sound,” says the artist behind HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “Releasing it on Midsummer Eve, 35 years after our engagement, brings everything full circle. It is a reminder that a great, enduring love actually exists and is worth celebrating.”
‘The One (Love of My Life)’ is now out for your pleasure! Check it out below…
Swedish EDM artist HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with the new single ‘Am I coming over or what’, a pulsating up-tempo club song about late texts, broken boundaries and that person you can never really say no to. The single, which was written together with American songwriter and producer Tim Heller, is out now on all leading digital platforms.
With a lyrical universe that follows a protagonist through a night at the club – from the crowded dance floor to that last question on the phone – the song captures the feeling of trying to set boundaries but still ending up outside the door of the same apartment time and time again. The verses describe how the promise to “draw a line” falls apart as the bass thumps, the city sparkles while the chorus culminates in the straightforward and vulnerable question that also gave the song its title.
The colorful cover reinforces the theme: a cartoon superhero character, wrapped in a glittering cape and with his fist in the air, becomes a symbol of the inner strength you try to mobilize – even when you know you might give in anyway. The pop art-inspired aesthetic reflects the song’s mix of euphoria, nostalgia and self-distancing, and makes the single instantly recognizable in streams and playlists.
Sonically, ‘Am I coming over or what’ combines HANDSHAKE IN SPACE’s melodic signature with heavy, modern club grooves and a vocal production that sounds as much after-party in the kitchen as it does on the main stage. The result is a song that feels as natural in a late DJ set as it does in a late night drive home – a soundtrack to all those times you’ve promised yourself you won’t go back, but you’re still standing there, “just this last time”. Why not check out the single bellow…

KOPPER & KASH – IN THE BEGINNING
‘In the Beginning’ is a reverent and self penned worship song that finds its strength in simplicity and sincerity. Written and performed by the trio KOPPER & KASH the song reflects the group’s hallmark blend of tight vocal harmonies and country-infused warmth, while centering on timeless Christian themes of creation and divinity. Known for their country traditional songs, Kopper and Kash are also devout in sharing their worship with their community.
Kopper and Kash is a family trio featuring dad Jeff Pennycoff and his daughters Mia and Ava. From a young age, the girls performed with their dad on his worship team at the family barn church, developing a deep connection to music, storytelling, and faith. Growing up immersed in country and inspirational music, they’ve built a sound that is heartfelt, authentic, and uplifting.
At its heart, ‘In The Beginning’ is a reminder of the unwavering presence of God in every moment of life — from creation to the challenges we face today.Why have a listen below…
Nick Ryan’s ‘ArchNemesis’ — a remixed reimagining of his earlier album ‘Nemesis’ — wastes no time making an impact. From the opening track, ‘Welcome To The Nightmare’, listeners are thrown into a vivid sonic landscape bursting with oversized synths and thunderous drums, clearly inspired by Rated R Remixed by Rihanna.
And that intensity never lets up. The album is relentless in its energy, pushing the listener to move as basslines grow deeper, more progressive, and increasingly infectious across the sprawling tracklist. There’s a playful, bubblegum sheen layered into tracks like ‘Bow Down’ and ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’, offering a carefree contrast. Yet ‘Bow Down’ in particular flips that tone lyrically, as Nick Ryan confronts past experiences with narcissistic manipulation, transforming them into something defiant and empowering.
Diving further into the project, ‘Nemesis’ and ‘Joshua Sea’ immerse the listener in rich, 90s-inspired deep house textures. From there, ‘Politics & MindGames’ bridges deep house with EDM influences, exposing a more vulnerable side of Ryan as he explores themes of frustration and emotional strain tied to manipulation and deceit.
The album then takes a nostalgic turn with ‘Toast’, channeling the familiar, commercial pulse of 90s house music, before closing with an ambitious megamix that ties the entire project together.
Originally released in 2021, ‘Nemesis’ leaned more toward alternative rock and pop with subtle electronic elements. In contrast, ‘ArchNemesis’ dives into darker, deeper territory — both sonically and thematically — amplifying its focus on societal issues, personal relationships, and unapologetic self-expression.
‘ArchNemesis’ is now available across all major platforms — and it’s a journey worth taking; why not check it out below…
