2022 has been a year full of highlights for burgeoning star and steadily evolving artist, DJ Joel Corry. “Playing the main stages of festivals around the world such as Tomorrowland, Creamfields and EDC Las Vegas was a total dream come true,” the Top 100 newcomer and former Geordie Shore star tells DJ Mag. His recent collaboration with rising chanteuse and Brit Award winner Becky Hill on their strong single ‘History’ hit the banger-ometer and blew up dancefloors and fields across the summer months. It followed his team-up with David Guetta and Bryson Tiller on their rather large ‘What Would You Do?’ single in March.

Now that the summer’s out of the way, Joel will be taking up a big USA and Canada tour, as well as getting creative in the studio. “I have been working hard on a brand new single. This record is a new direction for me, so I’m super-excited (and nervous) to release it,” he reveals, as well as telling us of news that he’s working on a clutch of new club tracks and there are some big collaborations in the pipeline. “I am ready to finish 2022 with a bang!”

After finishing just outside of the Top 100 in 2021, this year German DJ and producer Cuebrick breaks in for the first time this year. He now sits at the top table of global dance music after standout shows everywhere from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Singapore to Bangkok.

While releasing big tunes on labels like Spinnin Records, Armada and Ultra Music, he also works as a radio-host on bigFM’s nitroX show, which is the biggest radio platform for electronic music in Germany.

This year he has worked on a new sound which he says “can best be described as a fusion of different elements from genres such as techno, hard techno, and trance. Hard techno kicks are the foundation, with classic trance synthesizers.” It’s a sound that has seemingly connected with fans, who will be pleased to learn Cuebrick has signed a deal meaning “Smash the House will be the main home for my music for at least the next two years.”
