An official AFEM selection curated by Vasil Ivanov - The Editor, showcasing the most influential sounds shaping today’s global dancefloor.
The February 2026 edition of AFEM: Electronic Futures continues the Association for Electronic Music’s monthly spotlight on forward-thinking electronic music from across the global scene.
Curated by The Editor in collaboration with AFEM, this month’s selection highlights standout releases across Afro House, House, Melodic Techno, Indie Dance, Deep House, Drum & Bass, Trance, Electronica, Dubstep, and UK Bass — reflecting the diversity and evolution of contemporary club culture.
This edition features music from internationally respected labels including CR2 Records, Defected, Happiness Therapy, Glasgow Underground, Visionquest, Ultra Collective, Drumcode, Theatre of the Mind, Liquid Culture, Stereofox, Hospital Records, Shogun Audio, Gysnoize Recordings, and fabric Records.
From the organic rhythmic depth of Sama (US) & Sofiya Nzau, to the peak-time melodic power of Adam Beyer, GENESI & Aya Anne, and the cinematic storytelling of The Editor, the playlist moves fluidly between underground credibility and festival-scale energy. Drum & Bass textures from Hospital Records and Shogun Audio add high-intensity momentum, while releases from Visionquest and Glasgow Underground reinforce the playlist’s connection to the deeper roots of electronic music culture.
Together, these tracks represent AFEM’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and the global electronic music ecosystem supporting artists, labels, and creative communities worldwide.
