I Feel Love, the Mauro Picotto classic created under his CRW alias in 2000, gets a highly energetic touch-up from Steve Dekay. Included on Armin van Buurens A State of Trance, Ibiza 2025 mix album, this banging rework preserves the essence of the original, injecting it into a modern production designed to crack dance floors and bust speakers.

[item value="10"]Mauro Picotto, CRW & Steve Dekay - I Feel Love [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Steve Dekay’s rework of Mauro Picotto’s 2000 classic “I Feel Love,” under the CRW alias, is a masterclass in modern tech trance production. Featured on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance, Ibiza 2025 compilation, this 145 BPM beast is engineered to ignite dance floors while paying homage to the original. From a technical standpoint, Dekay leans heavily into a dark, percussive mixdown that tech trance DJs will find irresistible. The low-end is powered by a tight, sub-heavy kick that syncs perfectly with distorted rolling basslines, creating a driving energy that never lets up. Layered over this foundation are punchy techy drums, offbeat percussive fills, and carefully automated filter sweeps that give the track its rolling momentum. The acid elements are a standout feature—squelchy 303-inspired lines weave in and out of the arrangement, often modulated with resonance sweeps and subtle LFO movements to maintain a hypnotic effect. Classic trance vocals and rave stabs float atop the mix, treated with spatial effects like long-tail reverbs and ping-pong delays, giving the track a cavernous, euphoric dimension. The breakdown is an ethereal showcase of Steve Dekay’s sound design prowess. He isolates the iconic synth hook from the original, progressively reintroducing it with lush pads and sidechained atmospheres before twisting it into a Neo-rave interpretation, full of harmonic detuning and widened stereo imaging. When the drop hits, the contrast between the airy breakdown and the raw, heavy groove maximizes dancefloor impact. For tech trance DJs, this version is gold: its driving percussion, acid accents, and aggressive low-end make it a perfect peak-time weapon. Dekay’s ability to blend rough, mechanical rhythms with melodic euphoria ensures it will satisfy both classic trance purists and modern techno-leaning audiences. In short, this is a high-energy, meticulously crafted rework that captures the soul of the original while elevating it for today’s sound systems. #PureGold indeed. Love IT[/content]

From a technical standpoint, the production demonstrates meticulous layering and arrangement. The opening sequence features wide, cosmic pad work that establishes a vast atmosphere, immediately followed by a clean, punchy kick that anchors the low end. The bassline is both grounding and rolling, built with subtle modulation to keep the energy shifting naturally throughout the track. What stands out is the seamless integration of analog-style synths with polished digital sound design, giving the track both warmth and precision. The track’s midsection showcases soaring leads that rise through the mix with impeccable EQ placement, never clashing with the harmonic richness of the pads. In the breakdown, robotic-style vocals are processed with vocoders and spatial effects that add a haunting, futuristic dimension. These elements are complemented by a melancholic, epic lead synth that swells into the foreground, carrying the emotional heart of the track and guiding it into a euphoric, trippy climax. From a production process perspective, it’s clear that careful attention was paid to dynamic automation, stereo imaging, and reverb tails, giving the entire piece a spacious yet cohesive feel.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]"Blast from the Past" by nilsix, Orjan Nilsen, and Mark Sixma is a 128 BPM MainStage trance powerhouse that demonstrates a highly polished and technically sophisticated production. Built on a rock-solid four-on-the-floor kick, the track layers a sidechained rolling bassline that provides both groove and propulsion, while subtle psytrance-inspired percussive elements add edge and movement to the low end. The carefully EQ’d rattling leads slice through the mix with a metallic bite, enhanced by stereo widening and dynamic modulation that keeps the energy in constant motion. Producers will appreciate the detailed automation work, as filters sweep across the midrange to create tension in the buildup, while reverb tails and delays are meticulously timed to the track’s 128 BPM grid. The breakdown is a masterclass in atmospheric trance design: lush analog pads provide a warm bed of sound, while arpeggiated spacey synth lines rise and fall, surrounded by twinkling textures and sci-fi vocal cues. These cinematic effects—combined with a strategic use of white noise sweeps and subtle pitch bending—convey a sense of cosmic scale, as if the track is expanding into the universe before snapping back into its peak-time drive. MainStage DJs will adore this track because it perfectly balances festival-ready intensity with a musical narrative. Its clean mixdown ensures that every element—from the kick to the top-end synths—cuts through massive sound systems with clarity. The included atmospheric intro mix is a gift for those who love to build anticipation in their sets, allowing them to transition from deep, hypnotic textures into full-blown main-room euphoria.

Festivalgoers will be able to enjoy a unique week-long experience combining world-class electronic music, winter sports, and French gastronomy, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the French Alps. People can choose between 7-Day or 4-Day Festival Packages, while each package includes accommodation in Alpe d’Huez or one of the surrounding villages, access to the ski area, as well as festival access.

Tomorrowland’s renowned ‘Tastes of the World’ cuisine will provide unique gastronomic experiences, blending mountain specialties, international flavors, and vegetarian options.




Environmental responsibility

​Tomorrowland places great importance on preserving the exceptional natural environment of the Alps. The festival’s stages and scenography are designed in harmony with the landscape, and the organization prioritizes the use of existing infrastructure such as Agor’Alp – a modern sports, cultural, and event complex in Alpe d’Huez – as well as the mountain restaurants La Folie Douce, Chantebise 2100, and Signal 2108.

In collaboration with its partners, the festival is implementing several sustainable initiatives:

Use of HVO fuel and green energy.

Innovative circular projects, such as reusable cups with RFID chips (tested in 2025 and then deployed on a larger scale in Belgium).

Use of EDF electricity rather than generators.

Deployment of electric or hydrogen-powered battery generators.

A wide range of train connections, carpooling services, and buses departing from numerous European cities.



Discover Paris before the festival

​In 2026, Tomorrowland Winter will also offer the opportunity to enjoy a 3-day getaway in Paris, just before the festival begins. Guided by a local expert, visitors will explore iconic monuments, uncover hidden gems, stroll through historic neighborhoods, and savor the capital’s gastronomy. From art to fashion, Seine cruises to refined culinary experiences, this pre-festival journey will extend the spirit of Tomorrowland and create unforgettable memories.

Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields is gearing up for a landmark year in 2026, celebrating two decades at its iconic home in Daresbury. Across the August Bank Holiday weekend—from Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th August 2026—80,000 fans from across the globe will gather for four days of groundbreaking production, a world-class lineup, and the electric atmosphere that has cemented Creamfields as the pinnacle of the dance music calendar. 


Calvin Harris 

To kick off the celebrations, Cream HQ announced GRAMMY Award-winning DJ & Producer Calvin Harris as a headliner. A firm Creamfields favorite, Calvin will make his highly anticipated return to the festival, taking over the legendary Arc Stage on Saturday 29th August. Since his 2009 debut, he has risen to become one of the biggest names in electronic music, most recently dominating the charts with his Track of the Summer hit “Blessings.” Over the years, Calvin has delivered some of the most iconic and talked-about performances in Creamfields history, making his return for this milestone edition especially fitting. 


Armin van Buuren 

Joining the celebrations, Dutch trance DJ/Producer Armin van Buuren has been confirmed as the first artist for the Apex Stage on Saturday 29th August. Few artists have defined dance music like Armin, a Grammy-nominated artist, five-time DJ Mag Top 100 DJs winner, and co-founder of Armada Music. He unites millions each week through his long-running radio show A State of Trance. From sold-out arena tours to commanding the main stages of the world’s biggest festivals, his euphoric, high-energy sets are legendary. This week, his impact on electronic music was honored with DJ Mag’s 2025 Outstanding Contribution Award, cementing his status as one of the genre’s true pioneers. Returning after a two-year hiatus, Armin is poised to deliver another unforgettable Creamfields performance. 



Underworld 

Another highlight for the 20th anniversary edition is the long-awaited return of electronic pioneers Underworld, who will take over the iconic Steel Yard on Saturday 29th August. One of Creamfields’ most legendary live acts, Underworld first debuted at the festival in 2002 and delivered an unforgettable performance in 2008 for the 10th anniversary. Now, almost two decades later, they return as “Born Slippy”—their timeless anthem that defined a generation—celebrates its 30th year. From shaping the underground to headlining global stages and soundtracking Olympic ceremonies, Underworld’s influence on electronic music is immeasurable. Their legendary live performances secure their place as one of the most vital and enduring acts in the scene, making their return a true full-circle moment. 

Teletech 

After a record-breaking debut in 2024, Manchester’s techno giants Teletech are set to return bigger than ever in 2026. On Friday 28th August, they will make their Steel Yard debut, taking control of the legendary superstructure renowned for its jaw-dropping production and 360° immersive experience. The takeover will be a one-night-only spectacle before continuing across the weekend in their own 15,000-capacity arena on Saturday and Sunday. Born in 2017, Teletech has become one of the UK’s most exciting club culture movements, celebrated for forward-thinking lineups, cutting-edge sound, and raw, unfiltered intensity that channels the spirit of the early 90s dance explosion. This year’s Steel Yard debut promises to be their biggest and most defining moment yet. 


Sonny Fodera 

Globally renowned DJ/Producer Sonny Fodera will close out the Bank Holiday weekend in style, headlining the legendary Arc Stage on Sunday 30th August. This will be Sonny’s only English festival appearance in 2026. Riding high on the success of his summer hit with Jazzy, “All This Time,” his signature groove-driven, emotive house sound has earned him sold-out tours, festival slots, and an Ibiza residency since his 2014 debut album. Following his monumental Steel Yard debut this year, Sonny’s return promises to be a defining moment in Creamfields’ 20-year celebrations. 

With Calvin Harris, Armin van Buuren, Underworld, Teletech, and Sonny Fodera already confirmed—and many more announcements to come—Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields 2026 is set to be an unmissable 20th anniversary celebration, bridging generations of dance culture and delivering legendary moments that will define its legacy for years to come.

On Friday October 24th, during Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 and in honour of Amsterdam 750, Audio Obscura takes a new step in its tradition of groundbreaking shows, presenting the world premiere of PRAISE – Honey Dijon x ZO! Gospel Choir at De Nieuwe Kerk. 

Pre-registration for tickets to this unique event is now open via Audio Obscura’s official pre-registration page: audio-obscura.com.

The event marks the first time in its more than 600-year history that the historic national monument will be transformed into a venue for electronic music, with Audio Obscura the only organisation trusted to undertake the task. With previous events like the now-legendary Highway Rave and its party in the bicycle tunnel under the famed Rijksmuseum, Audio Obscura has already demonstrated how electronic music can take on a new dimension in unexpected places. The choice of De Nieuew Kerk fits seamlessly into this tradition and marks another milestone in Amsterdam’s cultural tradition.

The unique location provides the perfect setting to host the world premiere of a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between internationally acclaimed DJ Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir, one of the Netherlands’ leading vocal ensembles. The choir is known for its energetic renditions of soul, R&B and gospel, and has previously collaborated with artists such as Diana Ross, Kamasi Washington and Gregory Porter.

Honey Dijon is considered one of the most influential voices in electronic music worldwide. Born and raised in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, she became an icon thanks to her inimitable blend of house, techno, and disco. Besides her status as a beloved DJ and producer, she is known for her outspoken engagement with fashion, art, and activism. She has performed at the world's biggest clubs and festivals, and continues to champion diversity and inclusivity within the music scene.

The evening opens with DJ Juliana X, who blends her Brazilian background and Rotterdam roots into an energetic mix of Chicago house, Detroit techno, and unexpected influences such as eurodance and acid. She is followed by Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir, who take the audience on a captivating journey of music, choreography, and dance. Expect an hour of pure energy where gospel and electronic music amplify one another, culminating in a collective experience like no other.

The Nieuwe Kerk as the backdrop: a historic monument in the heart of Amsterdam, the Nieuwe Kerk has played a central role in the city for over six centuries. Consecrated in 1409, this national monument is known as the place where kings and queens are inaugurated and where national mourning and wedding ceremonies take place. It also serves as a cultural venue for leading exhibitions and concerts. Never before has electronic music been performed there, making this performance by Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir not only a first for ADE but also a new chapter in the rich history of De Nieuwe Kerk.

Tomorrowland and Amazon Music proudly present 'We Are Tomorrow', a touching documentary that offers an in-depth look into the magic, music, and global community that defines Tomorrowland. 'We Are Tomorrow' covers the unique journeys and personal stories of People of Tomorrow attending the most memorable edition of the Belgian festival’s history. From DJ and producer John Summit to festivalgoers Ladick from Czech Republic, Mia and Ella from Canada, Rachael from Scotland, and Nikita and Mireya from United States – each story captures the hearts of music enthusiasts, festivalgoers, and anyone curious about the cultural phenomenon that is Tomorrowland. The documentary is now available to watch on Amazon Music and on YouTube. The exclusive premiere of the authentic documentary took place at The Culver Theater in Los Angeles, with the attendance of superstar John Summit.

“We Are Tomorrow” is a 24-minute cinematic journey that portrays John Summit and his ambition to take the iconic Tomorrowland Mainstage as a major career achievement alongside an intimate portrait of Czech Ladick, who has spent his life in a wheelchair due to a congenital muscle and bone disorder. The documentary shares the heartfelt story of Canadian mother Mia and her daughter Ella, who attend the festival together after Mia is diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. It follows young islander Rachael, devoted to her family’s farm but yearning for adventure beyond her small community, as she experiences her first major festival with her sister Brogan. Finally, it reveals the journey of Mireya and Nikita, who met by chance at Tomorrowland and discovered a love that brought them back together.


John Summit

​Only a few artists have risen as fast and as boldly as DJ and producer John Summit. Known for his relentless touring and dynamic productions, he has become one of the most sought-after names on the global stage. This year, John Summit took over the Mainstage at Tomorrowland for the first time, a milestone that reflects years of discipline and self-discovery. ‘We Are Tomorrow’ captures the full scope of John Summit’s journey – from a career as an accountant and bedroom producer to a global music sensation - revealing the disciplined routine of managing his career, the countless hours in the studio, and the relentless drive that fuels his art, always pushing him to be better than yesterday.
“What I know in the music industry, I learned it all by making mistakes, correcting them, and learning on my own. If you don’t know any of the rules, you’re not worried about breaking them. I’m just going to keep trying to be better than the person I was yesterday. I always feel like it’s just the start. If you don’t feel like it’s just the start, then what do you have to look forward to?”

Ladick

​Ladick is a 33-year-old EDM lover who has spent his entire life in a wheelchair due to a congenital muscle and bone disorder. As a devoted Martin Garrix fan, he has already traveled to Ushuaïa Ibiza to meet the DJ, an encounter that ignited a connection filled with meaning and joy. After a challenging period, Ladick will attend Tomorrowland for the first time, hoping to reunite with Martin and create lasting memories with his mother, who has stood by him throughout his journey.
"I think it's hard to get here for anybody. So, especially for me, it's almost impossible. I'm scared that something would go wrong. But when I finally saw the Mainstage, it was the moment when I thought to myself, 'Everything is okay; you are here, and you can enjoy the moment with your family and friends to the fullest.' I couldn't even imagine how spectacular it would be. I thought it would be incredible. But it's even more, it's even more, it's absolutely breathtaking."

 


Mia and Ella

​Mia and her 23-year-old daughter, Ella, who live in Vancouver, will attend Tomorrowland together for the first time. Nearly ten years ago, Mia was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. A surgery meant to remove the cancer left her with severe epileptic seizures, forcing her into long periods of darkness. Told she had limited time to live, Mia has now surpassed that prognosis, embracing Tomorrowland as a precious chance to weave lasting memories and cherish every moment with her daughter.
"I do think about how far I have come in the last nine years. From watching a video and struggling to actually being here. It's crazy. When I was first diagnosed, I searched for hours and hours for stories of people who have outlived their diagnosis. So now I am one of those stories."

 



Rachael

​Rachael lives with her family on the Orkney Islands, a remote corner of Scotland where life revolves around the land. She balances her work for the family's ferry company with caring for a 200-acre farm that has been in her family since the 1800s. With long hours and little time for herself, Rachael is driven by a longing to experience life beyond her island. Tomorrowland will be her first big festival, an adventure she has long awaited, shared with her sister Brogan.
"My first ever, big festival. I mean, I've been to small music things and a lot, but nothing is large-scale. When I go away, it's definitely a break and I can get away from my stress, I can just, almost like just be a child again and just do whatever and not have to worry about anything. I need to do it. I need to, like, just face my feelings, get it out the way and be comfortable. Because I find like, farming as well is really isolating. And then you kind of build that anxiety of like, oh, I don't want to see people. So I kind of just need to face my fears and just go and do it."

 



Nikita & Mireya

​Mireya, originally from Mexico, and Nikita, originally from Russia, met by chance at Tomorrowland 2024 during a speed date at DreamVille, where they discovered they both lived in Austin, Texas. From that weekend onward, they stayed in constant contact, nurturing a bond that blossomed into lasting love. Today, they live together and return to Tomorrowland as a cherished tradition, a magical place where their story began and where dreams of a shared future continue to grow.
"My friend and I, exhausted from the previous festival night, signed up for a speed dating event - not washed, not made up. We were thinking, 'If someone likes us this way, they'll be crazy about us when we're all dressed and have makeup on'." – Mireya
"Mireya and I instantly clicked. When it turned out she lived in Austin, I couldn't help but smile. It was as if the universe was saying, 'this is meant to be'. My family lived in Austin and, after living in LA and Utah for a while, I had decided to return to Austin a few months later". – Nikita

The ‘We Are Tomorrow’ short film is now available to watch on YouTube and on Amazon Music.

ABOUT JOHN SUMMIT

​John Summit is one of the most in-demand names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 U.S. dance radio hits, and landed two Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. Known for his explosive live shows, Summit consistently sells out major venues worldwide — from a lightning-fast sellout at New York City’s Madison Square Garden (17,000 tickets in under two hours) to three packed shows at L.A.'s Kia Forum (over 45,000 tickets sold), and a headline date at BMO Stadium (22,000). He introduced Experts Only Festival NYC, a groundbreaking two-day live music event that drew 50,000 people to Randall’s Island (September 2025). This year, John held a coveted Ibiza residency — a major milestone for an American DJ — while making his debut at London’s O2 Arena (10,000 capacity). Whether commanding an arena or an underground club, the Chicago native (now based in Miami) brings his signature high-octane energy to every set.

Behind the scenes, Summit is a meticulous and thoughtful artist. Formerly a CPA by day and music tutor by night, he now spends long hours in the studio crafting dynamic, emotionally resonant tracks. As a touring artist, he’s headlined festivals around the world, including the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and produced unforgettable events in unique locations — from the hills of Tennessee to snowy takeovers in Vail, Colorado, and Tahoe, Nevada — all under the banner of his label, Experts Only. Founded in pursuit of complete creative freedom, Experts Only is a global movement built on the principle of music without limits — blending house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Summit’s global hits like “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes), and “Go Back” with Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) reflect that ethos. He has also been recognized for his impact in the dance music genre through nominations for a Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Album and the American Music Award for Favorite Dance/Electronic artist.

On July 12, 2024, he released his highly anticipated debut album Comfort In Chaos. Exploring themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, and the duality of the human experience, the album reveals the man behind the icon — pairing Summit’s signature dancefloor energy with raw emotion and introspection. As he continues to evolve, Summit is poised for even greater heights, delivering a rare combination of musical innovation and deeply personal storytelling.
