The Prodigy treats us to powerful remixes!
The mega-energetic remix of Kasabian’s “Rocket Fuel” by The Prodigy has finally seen the light of day! “Massive massive sound” – reads one of the comments on this song. The fans are grateful that this electro-punk band stayed true to their sound, but they are also clearly eager to hear new music!
Until that new music arrives, The Prodigy has a limited vinyl-only remix compilation of their fifth studio album, “Invaders Must Die,” released on Record Store Day, April 22nd. This is a collection of different versions of tracks from the original release, along with new remixes of “Omen” and ”Take Me to the Hospital.”
Skrillex: What a Coachella closing!
The incredible Skrillex, star of this year’s EXIT Festival, eight-time Grammy Award winner, and a revolutionary on the electronic music scene, who has decidedly made this year his own, crowned a series of sold-out performances with the great honour of closing Coachella, setting up a spectacular finale for one of the world’s biggest festivals!

Known for creating an intimate club atmosphere even at the biggest events, he performed with Fred Again.. and Four Tet on a stage surrounded by an audience of tens of thousands while the show broadcast was watched by millions more!
Rico Nasty: Video single “Turn It Up”
The new star of EXIT Universe, Rico Nasty, has just released a new video single “Turn It Up“! So far in her meteoric rise, Rico has offered fans a wild mix of punk and hip-hop, and now she gave them a dose of her best: hard-hitting trap.
With her new and exciting story, she promises to become the next massive star in the music industry. Rico’s musical style and visual identity are reduced to the art of disinterest in negative comments and criticism, which is also the most honest approach to the genre she is dedicated to. We can’t wait for her to transfer her power to EXIT audience!
CamelPhat have a new EP, and it’s awesome!
The duo CamelPhat, in collaboration with Josh Gigante, released two new songs, which make up the “Your Mind” EP. As expected from this genius duo, they brought mesmerising vocal parts, a great beat, and an infectious rhythm that makes us impatiently await the summer!
These new songs reminded us why they are one of the most exciting acts in the electronic music scene, and best of all, on July 7th, they will premiere at the mts Dance Arena, hopefully including these two new songs in the setlist!
Vintage Culture re-imagines a legendary song by The Clash!
“Rock The Casbah” is finally here! Sound familiar? Yes, the Brazilian superstar Vintage Culture added infectious rhythm sections and a nice groove to the iconic song by the legendary rock band The Clash, and — voilà — there’s a track that gets stuck in our mind, making us think of the sun and morning on the best dance floor on the Petrovaradin Fortress on July 8th.
Avalon Emerson releases her debut album!
The career of American producer and DJ Avalon Emerson has had a big week! She has just released her debut album – “& the Charm,” and it sounds nothing like what you would expect from a headliner of EXIT’s alternative electronic NSNS stage.
As she wrote in an Instagram post on the occasion of the album’s release, “This is no longer a private collection of emotion and explorations; it belongs to all of you now.” The album features the song “Astrology Poisoning,” which Avalon explained is about the evolving void we all feel and are trying to fill. The song is accompanied by a beautiful music video. Enjoy!
Tijana T recorded a mix for all of us
Tijana T, the internationally recognised Serbian producer and DJ, recorded a mix for all of us, in cooperation with the Amsterdam IsBurning community.
„This one is made to satisfy your midweek party needs, your weekend pre-party appetite or your after-hours if you haven’t had enough. It’s a club mix; it’s a dance mix. Straight forward as much as it can be coming from my musical universe. One shot recording, imperfect as ever because we’re only human. Tracklist coming one of these days. Hope you’ll enjoy it and let your body move to it. One love“, wrote Tijana in an IG post.
One love indeed; thank you, Tijana!
Besides Tijana, other powerful techno women will take over the mts Dance Arena on the first night of EXIT Festival, including Nina Kraviz, Amelie Lens, Indira Paganotto, and Miju. This mix will prepare us perfectly for that legendary Thursday, July 6th!
Smoke Mardeljano published 22 new songs!
Serbian rapper Smoke Mardeljano has released a new album, which contains as many as 22 songs! Smoke declared this album the album of his life, saying: “Persistence brothers and sisters! This is for all of us who live the culture. Let it flow!”
Long live hip-hop, says Smoke, and we say, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of this culture as we should, from July 6 to 9 at Petrovaradin Fortress!
Grše is #1 on Billboard’s list in Croatia!
The song by EXIT’s Gang artist Grše was at the top of the Billboard list in Croatia, as the most listened to during the week! It is the song “Mamma Mia”, whose video has a beautiful million views on YouTube. Congratulations!
