Hard Dance Titans Lady Faith and Angerfist Announce Explosive Halloween Weekend Show at Webster Hall on Saturday November 1st

New York City is about to experience a seismic collision of hard dance music power as two titans of the global scene—Lady Faith and Angerfist—join forces for an explosive night at Webster Hall on Saturday, November 1st. For fans of Hardstyle, Hardcore, and the adrenaline-fueled underworld of pounding bass music, this is set to be the show of the season—where two legends converge in one of the most iconic venues on the East Coast.

This highly anticipated event arrives at a transformative moment in Lady Faith’s career. After more than a decade of commanding main stages at the world’s biggest festivals and dropping high-impact singles like her official covers of the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer,” the Iranian-American producer has just unleashed her most ambitious project to date: UNTAMED, a groundbreaking full-length debut album released in Spring 2025 via Dutch imprint SCANTRAXX. Hailed as the first hard dance LP by a female artist released on a major label, the eleven-track juggernaut is a fearless, genre-blurring body of work that traverses euphoric hardstyle, brutal techno, and filthy dubstep without losing the laser focus and precision Lady Faith is known for.

The night at Webster Hall will showcase this triumphant evolution in full force, with fans finally able to hear UNTAMED’s boldest tracks live. From the euphoric anthem “Salvation” featuring Hardstyle legend JDX, to the ground-shaking techno collaboration “Bass In Your Face” with T78, to her emotionally charged vocal cut “By My Side” with Lexy Panterra—Lady Faith’s set promises a rollercoaster of emotion, energy, and defiant spirit. Her remix of Angerfist’s classic “The Law”—already praised by the hardcore legend himself—has been annihilating festival speakers worldwide, and will no doubt be one of the many weapons in her arsenal that night.

“I’m so excited to head back to NYC for Halloween weekend and reunite with my east coast hard dance fam. When putting this show together for Webster Hall, we knew that everyone involved had to be top tier to match how iconic this venue is. Angerfist was the ideal combination to provide our fans with a complete Hard Dance experience and there’s no one else I’d rather share the stage and this moment with!” – Lady Faith

Joining her is none other than Angerfist, the masked overlord of hardcore and one of the most electrifying performers in the world of hard electronic music. With an unmistakable sound marked by relentless kicks, aggressive melodies, and eerie atmospheres, Angerfist has built a fanatical following across Europe and beyond. His legacy spans more than two decades, dominating stages from Defqon.1 and Dominator to Masters of Hardcore. His rare U.S. appearances are always a draw, but pairing him with Lady Faith for this special night adds a once-in-a-lifetime edge to an already ferocious lineup.

Together, Lady Faith and Angerfist represent two distinct but perfectly colliding ends of the hard dance spectrum—one rooted in unfiltered emotional catharsis and genre-bending innovation, the other forged in fire and fury with razor-sharp hardcore precision. This isn’t just a show. It’s a movement—for one night in NYC, where the underground rises, the BPMs spike, and every kick drum hits like a battle cry.

Expect walls to shake, lights to melt, and sweat to pour as these two powerhouses light up Webster Hall in an all-out celebration of the raw energy and passion that fuels the hard dance community. Whether you’ve been following the scene for years or are just discovering it, this is a rare opportunity to be part of a moment that transcends borders, language, and genre—a unifying experience driven by rhythm, rebellion, and release.

Raphaela’s Debuts Pop Ballad “Leave Him First”

What begins as a classic story of romantic infidelity quickly becomes something more nuanced and powerful: a conversation between two women who unknowingly shared the same partner. But instead of revenge, Raphaela offers empathy. In “Leave Him First,” the narrator speaks not to the man who broke her heart, but to the girl he cheated with – encouraging her to reclaim her worth before it’s too late.

The track’s delicate balance of melancholic vulnerability and quiet strength is what makes it unforgettable. It’s a reflection of Raphaela’s unique perspective – choosing compassion over conflict, solidarity over spite.

I started writing this song like I was confronting him, but it didn’t feel right. The moment I rewrote it as a message to the girl he cheated with, everything clicked. It’s about breaking the cycle – telling her, woman to woman, that she deserves better. That shift gave me a sense of empowerment I didn’t expect. It made the song feel more honest, more healing. – Raphaela

Born in Beirut and based in Ottawa, Raphaela brings together global influences and heartfelt songwriting in a sound that’s deeply personal, emotionally cinematic, and rooted in storytelling. Her musical foundation was shaped by her opera-singing mother and her father’s love of timeless classics, which laid the groundwork for her own romantic, introspective voice.

Raphaela’s previous singles – including “Fifth Street,” “South of France,” “Happy Endings,” and “Be My Hero” – have explored the emotional spectrum of love, loss, and healing. “Leave Him First” marks a significant turning point, bridging heartbreak with empowerment, and setting the tone for her upcoming debut EP.

The EP, which releases later this year, will celebrate the brighter side of love – the kind that follows heartbreak and reminds us why we still believe. With its mix of adult contemporary depth and dreamy alt-pop elegance, Raphaela’s work invites listeners to feel deeply, reflect honestly, and move forward with hope.

Rising R&B Artist Jupiter Reign Shares Sultry, Soul-Baring New Single “All Mine,” Announces Debut Album Jupiter’s Dreams (6/13)

A moody, soul-infused R&B confession, “All Mine” is the latest release from Nova Scotia’s JupiterReign – a rising star known for her velvety vocals, magnetic presence, and fearless emotional honesty. 

Blending vulnerability with sensuality, the track captures the turmoil of a love that’s as painful as it is passionate. It will feature on JupiterReign’s debut album, Jupiter’s Dreams, set for release on June 13th, 2025.

Written in collaboration with Montreal R&B artist RoyyalT, “All Mine” explores the complexity of holding onto a relationship that no longer serves you – even when you know better. Set against a lush, trap-soul soundscape, the song’s slow-burning intensity is paired with lyrics that reflect raw self-awareness and longing.

I got to write this one with my best friend, RoyyalT, who’s not just an amazing artist, but one of my favourite writers. We weren’t trying to make a hit – we just wanted to tell the truth. The track came out of a real place, and that honesty is what makes it special.

Sometimes it feels like nothing good can come out of these types of relationships – but as artists, it’s our job to take life and turn it into something meaningful. Through music, we can help others see that they’re not alone in their struggles – whether it’s with love, life, or anything else. This song is my way of saying: I see you, I’ve been there, and we’re gonna get through it.

Dynasty Embrace Shares Synth Laden Single “Hope”

Hamilton-based synth-pop duo Dynasty share their new single, “Hope,” a dreamy, emotionally resonant track rooted in the cycles of self-doubt and the quiet, persistent will to overcome. With glimmering 80s-inspired textures, spacious production, and a deeply introspective core, “Hope” is a stirring anthem for anyone struggling to break free from the mental loops that hold them back.

Written in an unplanned studio moment, the song came to life through the rhythmic instincts of vocalist Jenni Dreager and synth lines from Roman Marcone, coalescing into a shared sonic vision that felt both nostalgic and fresh. There was no roadmap – just instinct, connection, and the desire to make something real.

“Hope” is more than a song – it’s a turning point. What began as a no-pressure jam sparked the full Dynasty project and laid the foundation for their emotionally rich sound. The result is a layered, cinematic single that balances dreamy atmospherics with grounded reflection.

We both come from pretty eclectic musical backgrounds. At the time of our first session, we had both expressed interest in exploring something new, but didn’t know what. We ended up meeting for a no-pressure writing session just to see what would happen – and the songs started pouring out. It felt easy, natural, and electric! What we thought was just going to be more of a creative exercise turned into something exciting that also feels like perfect timing for both of us, creatively. – Jenni Dreager (vocals)

Takes an Army Channel Debuts Punk Laced EP & Title Track “Rise Up”

Canadian punk outfit Takes an Army are sharing their most motivated and spiritually grounded work yet: Rise Up. The EP showcases the band’s signature blend of pop-punk, third wave ska, and emotionally honest lyricism, brought together by years of growth, setbacks, and relentless hope.

Rise Up is born of adversity but filled with triumph. Thematically, the EP explores faith, healing, and resilience in the face of life’s unexpected turns. Whether you’re chasing goals or recovering from setbacks, Rise Up is a reminder that you’re not alone in the struggle—and there’s always room to get back up again.
The project’s explosive title track, “Rise Up,” serves as both a sonic and thematic centerpiece. A fusion of fast-paced drums, ska-influenced guitar chops, and a vocal punch that opens each verse, the song takes on the often-unpredictable road of adulthood and delivers a call to surrender to something bigger – faith, purpose, and the journey itself.

Stacked with Swagger – Lil’ Red & The Rooster Deal a Winning Hand with “Stack ‘Em Up Baby”

Lil-Red-7-Cover-Digital-Media

Lil’ Red & The Rooster’s latest single “Stack ‘Em Up Baby” is a whole vibe. A low-slung groove with a wink in its eye and a strut in its step, the track oozes vintage soul and playful cool while bringing something unmistakably fresh to the table.

From the opening piano flourish, you are unmistakably dropped into a smoke-filled jazz lounge where every note has purpose and every phrase is dressed to impress.

This is retro-modern blues at its finest. Jen “Lil’ Red” Milligan’s vocals glide with a feline style finesse – cheeky, sly and drenched in charisma. In this son, Lil Red is not just singing about stacking ’em up, she is the dealer, the mood-setter and the ringleader of this cinematic scene. Her delivery evokes the smoky sophistication of Rickie Lee Jones, with the soul deep phrasing of vintage jazz and blues greats, filtered through her own unique sass.

Pascal Fouquet, the “Rooster” in this bluesy power duo, brings his signature elegance on guitar.

His touch is tasteful and timeless, letting each note breathe and smolder, and skilled application of tone, groove and a deep understanding of the genre’s roots. His playing is the slow burn to Lil’ Red’s flickering flame, and together they create a dynamic that is impossible to fake.

And then there’s the not-so-secret weapon – Grammy-nominated keyboardist Bobby Floyd (Ray Charles, Count Basie Orchestra, Dr. John). His B3 and piano work provide that plush, cinematic backdrop for this slow-burner, anchoring the whole production in something rich and luxurious. His presence is testament to the band’s commitment to real musicianship, deep soul, and that indefinable thing we call “feel.”

“Stack ‘Em Up Baby” leans into a nostalgic groove dripping with class and intention, much like the theme song to a 1960’s detective film that never got made but should have. There’s drama, there’s flirtation and there is an undeniable joy in how the band navigates the space between blues, jazz and retro soul. It’s as much a mood as it is melody.

And this track kicks off off a waterfall release schedule, leading up to the release of the duo’s upcoming album called “7”. If this track is the opening move, consider us all-in.

“7″ promises to explore themes of freedom and rising from adversity – core values that have always quietly pulsed beneath the surface of Lil’ Red & The Rooster’s work. But here, with “Stack ‘Em Up Baby,” those themes get dressed up in velvet, high heels and attitude.

Lil’ Red & The Rooster have never been content to just rehash the blues. They really embody the blues. And with this new era, they are showing that the blues is thriving and ready to seduce a new generation.

So go ahead. Put it on. Stack ’em up, press play and let this tune swagger into your soul.
