B2 Music Releases Billboard Presents: Electric Asia Vol. 5 “Best of Asian Dance Music” Compilation
[ad_1]
With the fifth installment of their popular “Best of Asian Dance music” series with Billboard, B2 Music has once again tapped a wide variety of pan-Asian talent. Known for a mix of superstars (previous editions have included remixes from Steve Aoki, KSHMR and Ferry Corsten) and emerging names, the Electric Asia series stays true to its roots, with 15 tracks covering 10 Asian countries and multiple Electronic genres, including House, EDM, Techno, Bass, Hardstyle, Drum n Bass and Downtempo.
Highlights of the album include a sublimely dark remix of international festival favorites Zeds Dead’s “Alive” by Chinese Downtempo Bass King Freeza, plus China’s #1 female DJ Lizzy Wang’s pulsating Trance remix of US superstar 4B’s “There 4 You.” Also, Taiwan’s top Bass export RayRay collabs with fellow Barong Family DJ Sihk for the hard as nails anthem “Where are My Friends,” and Korea’s House/Techno rising star Closet Yi drops in with her “Pike’s Pique (Hill Climbing).”
Elsewhere on the album South Asia is nicely represented with tracks from San Francisco-based Indian producers Baalti and their track “Aame,” as well as Shillong groove merchant Finding Mero and his track “Bubble.” Also, Krunk Kulture’s Sohail Arora delivers a blinding Drum n Bass track, “444” under the moniker Easy Rizer.
Hong Kong is represented by transplanted Singaporean MJ KUOK’s Melodic House treat “Aurora,” and Zight delivers uplifting EDM with “Everybody Keep Running,” while “Life” by Passerby is a cinematic ode to the neon city.
Sean Dinsmore, Managing Director of B2 Music stated, “We are excited to announce the release of ‘Billboard Electric Asia Vol. 5’ as it truly represents a cross-section of what’s happening across the region in 2021. As usual, we are happy to work with Billboard in continuing to present Asia’s most exciting Electronic music to the world.”
The album will be available on December 17th worldwide on all major platforms through AWAL, and NetEase in China.

SENSANE, a Derby producer and DJ, will launch his upcoming album on 22 October 2026 via AHK Global Records, his own record label, according to the announcement. The album combines prominent voices from Panjabi music, new talent from India, and UK artists, marking SENSANE’s debut appearance as a vocalist.
The album follows SENSANE’s long-running mix of Panjabi and Bhangra traditions with folk, hip-hop, R&B, garage and electronic production, a sound he’s built his name on as both a touring DJ and label head. AHK Global Records, which he founded, has previously put out Punjabi-facing projects, including a five-track EP with vocalist Kulvinder Johal that reportedly debuted at number six and was described by some as the first Punjabi album to reach that position on its chart.
"This album brings together the sounds and artists that have shaped me," SENSANE said in the announcement. "I wanted the album to honour the legends, give new voices a platform and show where I’m going next. Putting my own voice on a track is a big moment for me, and I can’t wait for people to hear it."
Details about the complete track listing, collaborators, and SENSANE’s vocal debut track will be revealed before the album drops, according to the statement.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether SENSANE’s own vocal debut changes how listeners place him: as a producer stepping forward, or as an artist who’s been building toward this the whole time.

C’batch has released “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic,” an instrumental track built from a previously recorded guitar performance that the artist has reshaped into a new piece.
The release continues a pattern in C’batch’s work: revisiting prior work and reimagining it across multiple versions instead of viewing recordings as standalone pieces. Multiple outlets covering the release have noted that this approach — returning to older ideas and giving them new context — has become something of a signature, with this track functioning as the fourth installment under the “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light)” title.
The piece is instrumental, with the guitar serving as the primary voice throughout the piece rather than functioning as one element among vocals or other lead instruments. Coverage of the release has described the guitar as the connective thread of the piece, tying its texture and tone together in a way multiple reviewers have called cinematic — the arrangement building mood and movement without lyrics to guide it.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the track itself but the method: a musician who views archived material as material for reinterpretation across multiple versions, and building a numbered series out of revisiting it.
