Hoffstadt made his U.S. live debut at the EDC Las Vegas main stage, headlines NYC’s Knockdown Center on May 24.
Fresh off a set at the kineticFIELD main stage during the final day of EDC Las Vegas 2025, Marlon Hoffstadt – also known as DJ Daddy Trance – has just dropped his latest tracks to coincide with a major milestone career announcement.
Announced today, Marlon – who has recently catapulted to superstardom – has signed to Capitol Records in partnership with Goodlife Management and MC3. Hoffstadt is managed by Invisible Hand Agency. Available now (Fri., May 23), the breakthrough artist has released a high-octane double single, “Supersonic / Hands Up In The Sky,” to mark his new label debut.
“Supersonic” is a trance-fueled anthem that was initially teased earlier this year. The track channels pure summer energy with an electrifying production by Hoffstadt and Morten Aamodt, and soaring vocals from Swedish singer-songwriter Emma Skøien. “Hands Up In The Sky,” is an infectious, unifying call to the dance floor, crafted alongside co-producers FREE JIMI, Xoro, and vocalist Rhys. Together, both tracks truly capture Hoffstadt’s signature sound and emotionally uplifting dance floor firepower.
Tom March, Chairman & CEO, Capitol Music Group, said, “Marlon and his team have been building something incredibly special; he has risen to become one of the most exciting artists in dance music. We’re thrilled to become part of the team and help amplify his global presence.”
Since receiving high praise for his sold-out performance during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) ’24, the acclaimed Berlin-based DJ/producer has become a rising star within the dance music circuit. Known for his anthemic tracks like “I Got You” and “It’s That Time,” which has amassed over 53 million streams on Spotify alone and was remixed by Fisher, he now adds two new tracks to his budding discography.
On May 24, Marlon continues his international rise as he headlines New York’s Knockdown Center before heading into a whirlwind summer of major shows. The Club Heart Broken co-founder has already sold out 20,000 tickets for an upcoming Belgium show with KI/KI and is currently touring his immersive “Daddycation” live experience across Europe and Australia, with stops in Barcelona and London on the horizon.
Marlon Hoffstadt added, “It took me years to find my own sound and to find confidence, and it took me even longer to find the perfect label deal for myself. But here we go: Partnering up with the amazing team of Capitol, Goodlife Management, MC3 and my beloved management Invisible Hand, we found a setup that makes me feel extremely excited, confident, and thankful to be a part of. This definitely is the biggest achievement of my career and I‘m so damn ready for it!“
