Rising star Greta Levska launches her debut album after drawing inspiration from four decades of electronic music
AS one of the most exciting new voices in the electro scene, Greta Levska is reshaping the sound of the dance floor - past, present and future. With her debut album IBZALIEN landing this month on the ever-eclectic, Berlin label Get Physical, Greta draws inspiration from four decades of electronic music and filters it through her own vibrant, genre-blurring lens. 2 2 From the 80s hip-hop flair of first single Moulin Krew to the Fairlight CMI-fuelled bounce of her latest dancefloor heater Initialize, IBZALIEN is a masterclass in futuristic nostalgia. Greta offers a deeper look into her sonic world with an exclusive playlist for The Night Bazaar, featuring her own productions alongside club ready gems from artists like Rex The Dog, Raxon, Cour T, and Egyptian Lover. It's a collection steeped in raw energy, funky grooves and playful synth work and is the perfect soundtrack for a Mediterranean summer or a late-night session on a packed Ibiza dancefloor. Take a listen below and read what Greta had to about the music. Greta Levska plays 528 Ibiza with Maceo Plex for the Brunch Electronik Opening Party on Sunday 13th July. Book that trip, you won't regret it. Greta Levska IBZALIEN is out now on Get Physical. Greta Levska - Moulin Krew (Get Physical) The first single taken from my debut album on Get Physical, Moulin Krew, an 80s Bboy, funk filled track that always lights up the mood. I played this for the first time at my Pikes residency in Ibiza & I can just remember the room starting to really vibe with it. A re-release from Rex The Dog, a weapon that first dropped in 2004 & now still sounding just as fresh on the new Kompakt 500 compilation. I've been a massive fan of Rex for years, playing his music all over from my Amnesia residency, to warehouses across Germany. This one feels extra special, it has a blend of acid house, electro & uplifting synths which brings influences of Italo Disco, what a combination. Raxon - Future (Greta Levska Remix) [DSK Records] I had a wicked time remixing my incredibly talented friend Raxon. After playing together across Europe over the past 2 years multiple times, we share a great connection in musical styles & become great friends. It's a pleasure to have been asked to be part of his album remix package alongside Michael Mayor, Roman Flugel, NO_IP and more. With the remix, I wanted to bring something that would be reminiscent of our time on the road together, packing the feeling we have been lucky enough to share into 1 track. Dynamite track from Cour T. I first played this in Barcelona at a club called Red 58 for an amazing all female line up curated by the wonderful Electronik Delight party. I'm personally a big fan of glitchy sounding synths & I love how this one EQ's in and out to take its moments while also giving space for the commanding vocals 'Set this place on fire'. Tom Bug & Grooveline - Flush (REKD) Love this collaboration between 2 wicked artists. Old school UK rave flavour all over this one with that huge synth line & vocal talking back and forth with each other - can see this going off at any festival this summer. After meeting Dino Lenny at Hi Ibiza & catching his set with Damian Lazarus, I was blown away by the music he was playing so the first thing I did the next day was go check out his tunes. 'Dont Mess With The Chemistry' was the first track I clicked of his & it teleported me back to the club room where I had danced to it & tried to shazam it the night before. Absolute belter. Goes without saying, Wrecks records as a label are permanent invaders of my rekordbox. I absolutely love the latest release that comes from the amazing Kwake. Such a distinct sound to his production & includes all the things I love about a real raw dance floor focused club track where the chunky bass line fully cuts through. Gypsy Mitchell - Movin (Egyptian Lover Dub) (Modulor) Probably one of my favourite producers & that is responsible for one of my favourite electro tracks of all time 'Egypt, Egypt', Egyptian Lover has delivered for over 20 years pioneering the scene into what it is today. Always bringing a sleezy funky vocoder vibe, I love this Dub of Gypsy Mitchell and as a producer, I know how hard it is to make something sound 'simple' and not over cook a track. This just has a groove, big 808 business! Fast becoming one of my go to labels, Phantasy is up there with the best of them & this track from Wallace 'Cravings' has it all. The vocal is so hypnotising, I kind of feel like it puts me in a certain mysterious mood every time I play it. I have to thank John Digweed for introducing this track to me. I first heard it on his amazing Transitions radio show and have since played it out at many of my shows. I can see this being a track that lives in my sets all summer long.

The Edge's skydeck will be throwing huge parties this summer
Just when you thought summer nightlife in New York had peaked, Tao Group Hospitality is taking it way higher. Literally. The legendary nightlife brand behind Marquee is launching Marquee Skydeck, a pop-up party series perched 1,100 feet above Manhattan at Edge, the city's highest indoor/outdoor observation deck. Starting on Saturday, May 31 and running every Friday and Saturday through September, the 21-plus series will feature headlining DJs, sky-high energy and panoramic views more jaw-dropping than current NYC rent prices. If you can't wait for the official launch, an early preview DJ set by Carlita will drop on Friday, May 16. After that, the series kicks off in full force with techno heavyweight Maceo Plex on opening night. And don't worry—this isn't just another rooftop bash with a Bluetooth speaker. Marquee Skydeck is bringing the full sensory experience that the Marquee brand is known for, hosting world-class sound, lights and beats over Hudson Yards. It's not just a flashy party stunt, though; it's also part of a broader Tao Group takeover of Edge's hospitality game. The group already runs the show at Peak, Quin Bar and other concessions at the venue. With Marquee's flagship Chelsea club temporarily closed for a massive renovation until September, the Skydeck series is stepping in to fill the glittery void. 'There's nowhere else in the world where you can party at this altitude, with this view, and with the Marquee energy our guests love,' said Noah Tepperberg, Tao Group's co-CEO, in a release. The Edge, already famous for its glass floors and 360-degree views, has hosted music videos and album drops—but this is its first foray into full-scale nightlife. And according to Hudson Yards' Andrew Lustgarten, 'You haven't seen it all until you've seen how Edge does nightlife.'
