News | Bad Nonno & Lucky Rose Set the Tone for 2025 with Hypnotic House Anthem “One More”
Posted by VMan on April 8, 2025
From the golden streets of France to international streaming platforms, Lucky Rose has been steadily lighting up the electronic world – now, they’re turning up the heat. Teaming up with the genre-blending producer Bad Nonno, the duo unleashes “One More,” a sleek, club-driven single packed with hypnotic rhythm and vocal firepower.
Bad Nonno, known for flipping genres like vinyl crates and stacking millions of streams along the way, has scored some serious wins over the years – from collaborations with DVBBS to that funk-laced reimagination of Diana Ross’s “Upside Down.” Lucky Rose, a mainstay in Canada’s dance scene, are no strangers to crafting dancefloor bait either. With nearly 100 million streams and tracks like “The Way You Want Me” and “Wild One” hitting Gold status, they continue to make a massive impact on the scene.
“One More” is a glowing collision of their worlds. Described by Lucky Rose as a “vibey house banger at its finest,” the track completely hypnotizes. Bad Nonno puts it simply: “A song you have to play one more time.” Driven by thick basslines, alluring vocal samples, and percussion that bumps like strobe lights in motion, the single builds a space that’s as inviting as it is explosive.
If this is just the beginning of their synergy, house heads should buckle up.
News | Zack Martino Ignites a New Era with Dusk Till Dawn Records ‘Let You Go’
Posted by VMan on April 4, 2025
Zack Martino has long made a name for himself in the melodic corners of the electronic scene—pairing emotional pull with club-ready energy across tracks like “Mood,” “Crave U,” and “Make Me Yours.” With millions of streams and a steady presence in DJ rotations, his sound has grown more focused and fluid with every release. Now, he’s leveling up with the launch of his own label, Dusk Till Dawn Records, built as a home for deeper, more introspective shades of house and techno.
The label’s first release, “Let You Go,” sets that intention in motion. It’s a clean, late-night track with tight basslines and airy vocals, wrapped in a subtle, simmering atmosphere that favors feeling over flash. The song doesn’t aim to peak—it aims to stay, drawing listeners in through flow rather than force.
With Dusk Till Dawn, Martino is not just curating sound—he’s creating space. It’s a move that reflects both his growth as an artist and his instinct to build something that lasts beyond the drop. The focus is clear, and so is the direction.

Albums | Dandy and Ramraz Confront the Past with Haunting Honesty on “Couldn’t Make a Sound”
Posted by VMan on April 1, 2025
Dandy and Ramraz are no strangers to pushing sonic and emotional boundaries, but “Couldn’t Make a Sound” might be their most poignant release yet. A fusion of garage beats, ethereal synths, and deeply confessional lyricism, the track is as moving as it is hypnotic. The Israeli duo masterfully balance vulnerability with groove, proving that even the heaviest emotions can find a home on the dancefloor.
The song unravels a story of pain and repression, with Dandy’s lyrics painting a picture of silent suffering. “You gave me no place to choose if I wanna lose myself again,” they sing, capturing the helplessness of past trauma. The weight of these words is carried by a production style that feels both intimate and expansive—Ramraz layers crisp percussion with warm, nostalgic chords, creating a contrast between urgency and melancholy. It’s a track that pulses with emotion, yet refuses to be consumed by it.
What makes “Couldn’t Make a Sound” so gripping is its duality. The melody is soft yet commanding, the beat propulsive yet haunting. There’s an undeniable catharsis in the way the song moves—like an exhale after years of holding it all in. It’s the kind of track that lingers long after it ends, leaving listeners with both sonic satisfaction and something to reflect on. As Dandy and Ramraz gear up for their upcoming EP, this single sets a powerful precedent for what’s to come.
