FEDDE LE GRAND RELEASES 200TH
EPISODE OF DARKLIGHT SESSIONS PODCAST
FEATURES UNRELEASED DARKLIGHT RECORDINGS MATERIAL
Dutch superstar DJ and certified dance music royalty, Fedde Le Grand, today marks another milestone in his illustrious career by releasing the 200th episode of his ‘Darklight Sessions’ podcast.
Starting these wildly popular shows over three years ago, Fedde has, during that time, developed ‘Darklight Sessions’ into the go-to place for finding the best in new house music from across the genre’s spectrum. Never limiting himself to any one sound, and giving airtime to upcoming talents from around the world, Fedde has provided a valuable stepping-stone for some of dance music’s rising stars. Giving recent support to the likes of Raiden, Zilverstep and Merk & Kremont, Fedde has used the platform to give back to the industry that made his name.
With this 200th episode, fans can expect carefully selected new material both from his Darklight label, as well as from other popular imprints. With tracks from Kill The Noise, Major Lazer and Bojac, as well as remixes of Missy Elliot, Bob Sinclair and Fedde himself, the show promises to encapsulate the very best in what dance music has to offer today. Fedde has also skilfully returned to what the format initially began as, by crafting a mix that works both on the radio, as well as on the dance floor.
Rounding off his ‘Something Real’ world tour, which
has seen performances at Ultra Miami, Ultra Korea, Pacha (Munich) and Marquee (New York), and with his upcoming Summer Tour beginning next week, encompassing shows at London’s Ministry Of Sound, Ultra Europe and Tomorrowland, Fedde Le Grand looks set to continue his domination in dance for the rest of this year and beyond.

Techno tends to have its own outsider underground culture “you travel all over the world because of this strange piece of culture you are involved in – SIAN”. Skating also has the same vibe, and bringing Aaron Jaws Homaki into the mix for this collaboration and creating the mini documentary to support the 100th release has provided an edgy and diverse punk rock attitude to techno.
