TULUM, 31 Oct
BLOND:ISH, ARTBAT, Zeeba 'Different Way' on Insomniac Records

There is a distinct energy in Tulum this time of year; the season hasn't quite begun, but the air is already charged with anticipation. ARTBAT, who have long known how to soundtrack those in-between hours, deliver an extended remix of BLOND:ISH and Zeeba's 'Different Way' for Insomniac Records, which has landed with a sense of inevitability. The original was already a study in restraint, but ARTBAT push it into cosmic territory with their extended version, unspooling its core around sweeping pads and a pulsing, hypnotic groove that is as much about patience as it is about propulsion.
It is a fine time for this record to re-appear. The very same day this remix drops, BLOND:ISH is set to headline Factory Town in Miami for Hocus Pocus 2025, sharing a bill with the likes of 999999999, AceMo, Adriatique, and Antdot. Meanwhile, Oliver Heldens has been championing the record, placing it at number six on his 'Oliver Heldens Essentials: October' chart. In Tulum, the season is about to begin, and this record already feels like its unofficial overture.
