Electronic music at its most profound creates worlds rather than just sounds, and there's no universe that expands with each listen quite like BICEP's. The Northern Irish duo today revived their DOVE project for a haunting new single, "CHROMA 009 KR3," a crystalline collaboration with Kehina. The alias has always been BICEP's sandbox for abstraction, and this release suggests they're drawing from deeper emotional reservoirs. Typically known for turning warehouse euphoria into a kind of spiritual

Clubbing has been a vital and vibrant part of UK youth culture for decades, ever evolving and giving rise to some of electronic music’s biggest names. These big-name DJs now mostly perform at large-scale events or headline massive festival stages, overshadowing the club experience. Rarely do they play in small, grassroots venues, which many of them miss for its intimate, raw club feeling. This shift has put many of these venues at risk as they find it hard to compete.   Now, dance music news p

Most people leave behind a will or a family recipe. Alvin Lucier left behind instructions to regrow his brain and let it keep making music. Inside a dimly lit gallery in Perth, metallic clangs echo through the room like Morse code, yet no musicians are present—just 20 golden brass plates, a network of wires and a small, pale mass of living brain tissue pulsing with electric activity. It's not science fiction. It’s "Revivification," an ambitious collaboration that has literally brought a piece o

The annual Sunday evening, late-March walk to the outskirts of Bayfront Park consistently leaves me with the belief that the past weekend spent in downtown Miami supersedes many that have come before it. And although some degree of recency bias involuntarily creeps in, that impression felt in the wake of Ultra’s 25th anniversary weekend held true more than ever.  For a milestone weekend that would celebrate the quarter-century mark of its flagship festival, Ultra crafted what many — includin
