    Albums | Disco Lines, Flosstradamus, and Of The Trees to headline GRIDLIFE Summer Apex Music & Motorsports Festival 2025

    Posted by on July 23, 2025

    After a triumphant debut in 2024 that drew nearly 16,000 fans, GRIDLIFE Summer Apex Music & Motorsports Festival returns to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, from Friday, July 25 to Sunday, July 27, 2025, now expanded into a three-day event that blends high-octane racing with two days of boundary-pushing music performances for the ultimate ‘Speed Meets Sound’ experience.

    For its highly anticipated second edition, the festival’s music lineup brings an exciting mix of fan favorites and festival debuts. Friday night kicks off with a headlining set from longtime GRIDLIFE favorite Flosstradamus, marking his fourth appearance at the event since his surprise B2B set with Willy Joy at the very first GRIDLIFE in 2014. Saturday will feature festival debuts from Disco Lines and Of The Trees, both taking over the NOS Energy Main Stage for their first-ever GRIDLIFE performances.

    Other weekend highlights include the return of GRIDLIFE veterans like Chicago-based, boundary-pushing producer COFRESI, and rising bass actsAble Grey and Aspen. The lineup also welcomes a debut from genre-bending producer Jon Casey, and a special Laserwoods Afterparty hidden in the forest on Saturday night, headlined by Sydney-born bass powerhouse Sippy and dark bass beatmaker Nikita, The Wicked.

    Taking place once again at the legendary Wisconsin track, the 2025 event expands to a three-day format with bigger production, two days of music across multiple stages, and a sold-out lineup of drivers competing in TrackBattle Time Attack, GLTC, GLGT, Rush, as well as Drift exhibitions, and more. This year also includes the NOS Energy Main Stage, promising an electrifying experience for music fans. Complementing the on-track action, the Samsung + Logitech Arcade Zone brings the adrenaline indoors with esports sim racing, vintage arcade games, and interactive entertainment.

    Car culture remains the heartbeat of GRIDLIFE Summer Apex, with over 300 registered drivers and curated car corrals scattered throughout the venue—including GRIDLIFE Motoring Meet presented by FCP Euro, the Hyundai N Club Corral, Subimods Subaru Corral, and the Low End Garage’s Porsche Corral. Fans can expect GRIDLIFE’s signature car shows and open drift sessions alongside a packed schedule of racing and exhibition events throughout the weekend, making the 2025 edition a fully immersive motorsport and music festival experience.

    Known for its immersive campsites and one-of-a-kind setting, Road America continues to prove itself as one of the most magical motorsport facilities in the world. From music pop-ups and curated vendor villages to heart-pounding race action and late-night parties, GRIDLIFE Summer Apex 2025 is where car culture and festival culture collide.

    GRIDLIFE Summer Apex’s 2025 lineup announcement comes on the heels of GRIDLIFE Midwest’s successful 12th edition, where over 16,000 attendees and 204 total drivers gathered at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Michigan to indulge in the premier ‘Speed Meets Sound’ experience. 

    The 2025 edition of the ‘Music Festival At High Speed’ combined its industry-leading, on-track motorsports competition, freestyle open drift sessions and high-caliber car show with top-drawer festival production and two nights of smashing performances, headlined by Chicago trio Levity, dubstep/heavy metal virtuoso Sullivan King, versatile party starter Dr. Fresch, and GUD VIBRATIONS label boss NGHTMRE. 

    Before gracing the stage with his electrifying set at GRIDLIFE Midwest, Dr. Fresch embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in a ride-along with 2024 G1GP Champion Grant Anderson. Amidst the roar of engines and billowing smoke, the illustrious drifter and renowned producer/DJ shared an unforgettable trip, thrilling fans as this exhilarating journey was captured in stunning detail.

    Throughout the weekend, the festival’s main stage packed other talented performers such as such as dubstep queen LAYZ, versatile trap artist Rossy, LA-based speed house act CHYL, experimental bass maestro Super Future, melodic bass wizard Dennett, and Atlanta-based bass artist OkayJake.

    GRIDLIFE Midwest is known for its commitment to showcasing local talent, and featured an array of local and regional performers, including QLANK, Dino Munaco, Matty Cants, Flats Stanlie, QURL, Veronica Eileen, DEVA, Prim, RO LOW, N8 b2b Kacper Kawala, Lachjaw, Tarrow, Key Mitch, Choccy Milk b2b Hush, Lowke b2b Ronan, S’moores, Rob D’Shawn, Kavic, and INV3RTED.

    To go alongside its riveting car showcases and electrifying performances, GRIDLIFE Midwest 2025 introduced some new wrinkles for its 12th annual edition. Firstly, the festival moved its grounds over to the affectionately named ‘Festival Hill,’ which allowed for the larger ‘NOS Energy Main Stage’ and a bevy of additional vendors. Additionally, the Trackside Disco Stage (GRIDLIFE Midwest’s silent disco tent) also moved over to Festival Hill, providing shade during the day for track viewing and a larger space for late-night silent disco fun. On Friday night, Levity, Dr. Fresch, OkayJake and Super Future all played surprise sets at the Trackside Disco Stage to continue the energy once the main stage closed for the evening.

    Albums | Senior Dunce Drops New Single, “City Centre”

    Posted by on July 23, 2025

    Korean-born electronic artist Senior Dunce makes a powerful entrance with his new single “City Centre,” a pulse-raising dance cut drenched in emotional depth. Known until now as a sound designer, educator, producer, and former club owner, Senior Dunce takes the spotlight as a solo artist — and proves he has plenty to say, and dance about.

    Blending groovy rhythms, fast house textures, and an undercurrent of personal reflection, “City Centre” isn’t just made for the dancefloor — it’s a beat-driven memoir of belonging, memory, and miscommunication. Inspired by his time living in Liverpool, the track traces the emotional terrain of being a foreigner, navigating both cultural and linguistic gaps. A pivotal mispronunciation — “centre” as “centray” — became a moment of connection with his local Scouser friends, a shared laugh that anchored him in unfamiliar territory.

    “Those were the days I felt completely lost yet deeply cared for,” Senior Dunce shares. “I couldn’t sleep many nights, overwhelmed by my outsider identity. But my friends helped me feel seen — and that feeling is immortalized in this track.”

    Posted by on July 22, 2025

    Just in time for the tail end of summer, DLG. drops “Aperol,” a sweet and sunlit track that captures a once-in-a-lifetime feeling: the electricity of falling for someone new.

DLG.’s voice carries the weight of memory without losing the lightness of that original spark. If “Aperol” is any indication, his debut album is set to be a journey through the beautiful mess of love, loss, and everything in between. Tune in to the new single above now!

    Albums | Charcom’s “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” Is The Heartbreak Anthem For The Afterparty

    Posted by on July 18, 2025

    Charcom’s new release, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU”, taps into that all-too-familiar feeling of realising what you had when it’s already gone. The NYC-based artist blends his emotional songwriting with cinematic electronic production, creating a track that feels just as at home in your headphones during a quiet moment as it does pulsing through speakers in a packed club. It’s moody, melodic and undeniably moving.

    What makes this track special is its simplicity. Built around a looping synth that slowly grows in intensity, the production gives space for every lyric to land. The piano chords feel like memories you can’t shake, and when the beat finally drops, it doesn’t explode but rather expands. It’s a subtle shift that pulls you in deeper instead of trying to blow you away. You can tell Charcom took his time with this one, and it pays off.

    Lyrically, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” reads like a late-night text you might never send. Lines like “Is it too late to ask you if we can do this again” carry that specific kind of regret that only shows up when it’s too quiet outside. There’s a vulnerability in Charcom’s voice that feels genuine and unfiltered. He isn’t hiding behind poetic metaphors or polished personas. He’s just being honest, and that honesty is what sticks.

    If this single is any indication of what’s coming on Charcom’s upcoming EP, fans can expect more emotionally charged, genre-blending tracks that lean into introspection without losing rhythm. Charcom is clearly carving out his own space in the electronic world, and he’s doing it with heart. “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” isn’t just a sad song. It’s a reminder that healing sometimes starts with hitting play.

    News | Chloë Wilson Releases ‘Broken Me,’ Beginning an Honest New Chapter

    Posted by on July 13, 2025

    Independent singer-songwriter Chloë Wilson will release her new single, Broken Me, on July 11, 2025. This track is the first single from her forthcoming debut project, expected later this year.

    Written when she was 16 years old and developed over a six-year period, Broken Me addresses themes of unanswered questions and the emotional impact of a first heartbreak. The song underwent several revisions and recordings before reaching its final form.

    The track features piano, the first instrument Wilson learned, and combines elements of 1970s ballad style with a modern sound. Influences from artists such as Adele, Tori Amos, and Stevie Nicks are evident, while Wilson’s lyrics offer a personal and clear narrative.

    Born in Milton Keynes, Wilson’s musical background includes busking in London and performing across venues in northern England. Her early influences include Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summer, and Led Zeppelin.

    Wilson describes Broken Me as her first fully personal songwriting statement, contrasting with earlier work where she used fictional characters to express emotions.

    The single will be followed by additional releases leading up to Wilson’s debut EP, scheduled for release on October 24, 2025.
