REGARD, the Kosovo-born DJ and producer behind the global smash “Ride It,” has signed with Active Talent Agency for live music and touring representation worldwide. Agent Aaron Cook will lead the partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since his 2019 breakout, REGARD (born Dardan Aliu) has amassed more than 7 billion combined streams, 10-plus Top 10 singles, and multiple Platinum certifications, with hits including “Ride It,” “You,” and “Secrets” alongside RAYE<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s played Tomorrowland and held a residency at Ushua\u00efa Ibiza and opened 2026 with “Higher Love,” a February release with Carston via Universal Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active Talent Agency, the Manchester-based EDM specialist, has been stacking its dance roster all year. It recently landed Finnish icon Darude<\/a>, added Berlin’s DJ GUESTLIST<\/a>, and signed Nathan Dawe<\/a>. REGARD’s addition gives ATA another globally recognized headliner heading into the back half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a heavyweight pickup for ATA. REGARD isn’t chasing his first break; he’s a decade-proven global hitmaker, and pairing him with Aaron Cook, fresh off closing the Darude deal, signals that ATA is building toward being the<\/em> agency for legacy-level dance acts, not just rising talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could this deal put REGARD in the running for a 2026 Tomorrowland mainstage set instead of a guest slot? Does “Higher Love” signal a bigger 2026 release run to match his new representation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
