Essential Picks from Tinlicker, Oakenfold, Oxia and Young Bombs

Rock/ The Dutch duo Tinlicker have taken a different approach to their Beatportal-featured playlist. This isn't a collection of club tools; it's a window into their influences, off-hour moods and storytelling DNA. Expect the unexpected: Max Richter's cinematic 'The Young Mariner', Radiohead's live 'True Love Waits', and Khruangbin's sun-drenched 'Texas Sun' sit alongside house-leaning cuts from Fink and Malibu. It's a low-BPM, high-emotion journey that perfectly illustrates why Tinlicker's own music hits so hard.

Trance, Dance, Hard Dance/ Legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold is kicking off spring 2026 with a high-octane collection of tracks built for peak-time destruction. Spanning mainstage trance, driving techno, and neo-rave intensity, this set list leans hard into 140+ BPM territory. Highlights include his new collaboration with Markus Schulz, "Orange"; the pounding "Ceasefire" from Leena Punks on Perfecto; and Sara Landry's relentless "Control Your Body." With Armin, Maddix, KI/KI, and Tiesto also in the mix, this compilation is a masterclass in building set-ending pressure.

Melodic House & Techno, House, Indie Dance/ French house maestro Oxia presents one of the season's most sophisticated selections, blending Afro house, Melodic House & Techno, and indie dance into a cohesive narrative focused on the dance floor. Following his "Blue Signal" remix for Yamil, Oxia presents a mix of tracks from Nicolas Masseyeff, Deetron & Seth Troxler, and a rework of Oliver Koletzki by Andhim. With deep, rolling bass lines and hypnotic grooves throughout, this 15-track playlist is perfect for sunrise terraces and late-night warehouses.

Melodic House & Techno, Afro House/ The Canadian duo Young Bombs puts Afro house and Melodic House & Techno at the forefront with their spring chart, led by their new exclusive single, "Vele," released on Cr2 Records. The warm, percussion-driven tracks of RE\MIND, Ruma, and Andreas Horvat are joined by the deeper melodic offerings of Son of Son, Moeaike, and a Monkey Safari remix of Eli & Fur. If you're looking to add organic grooves, soulful vocals, and rolling basslines to your sets, look no further.
