If you don't understand the acronym "LMGABEACSPK," this event isn't for you. ACRAZE today declared war on Miami's culinary scene, announcing an upcoming pop-up rave inside a New York City bagel shop. The "Do It to It" hitmaker's beef with the city's breakfast game started when he ordered what should have been a simple bacon-egg-and-cheese. Instead, he received a ketchup-drenched catastrophe. "This is what bacon, egg, and cheese look like in Miami... I'm done," he wrote.

For Mike Posner, "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" was never about topping charts. It was a moment of vulnerability that captured what Avicii knew too well: how success can amplify the very emptiness it's supposed to fill. "He never cared, unlike almost everybody in the music industry, if I was number one, or number one million," Posner told EDM.com back in 2021. "In this period where I'm sitting at home with an empty calendar, he asked me to work." Now, the track echoes louder than ever with The Forest

What do science, psychedelics and spirituality have to do with electronic dance music? More than you might think.  Those three themes were front and center in Austin, known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," at Dave Asprey’s 13th annual Biohacking Conference, a gathering that felt less like a tech summit and more like a future-forward wellness festival. From May 28–30, thousands came together to explore cutting-edge tools for upgrading and optimizing the human experience through biohackin

That's the case for Linney and her new single, "The Crown," her first solo release of 2025. Reinforcing her standing as one of dance music's most vital emerging storytellers, "The Crown" is more than another club cut on Linney's expanding résumé.
