Last weekend at Ultra Music Festival, there were at least a few people who trusted the wrong people to sell them festival tickets. Victims told the police that they bought two wristbands for $1200 in cash from Duckett. They were then denied entry and told those wristbands were fraudulent. They went back to Duckett to get their money back, but he said he could only give them $400 back because he spent the rest. That’s when they went to alert the police and identified Duckett for them.

The Hulaween 2025 lineup is out, one that always sucks you into each name, imaging the nights ahead. As we peer into the depths of the lineup we find 6-sets by The String Cheese Incident, a magnetic pole to the whole modern music festival world and our former writer Disco Lines making the bill, plus Tinlicker tucked away at the bottom equipped to steal the festival as their placement on the lineup fits a sweet spot of live performance, long grooves, vocals that whisk you away, and progressive da

Brazilian DJ/Producer GREG (BR) has been making waves in the house scene for years and in 2024 the tide came in as he reached a career high with ‘Still My Baby.’ With this he reached number 1 in Beatport’s Global Chart and he’s now looking to achieve similar heights with his new track ‘Ibiza Nights.’ Having already made a great start to 2025 with the release of the ‘Whispers EP’ and his remix of Biscits’ ‘Freak’ he’s continuing that momentum with another groovy hit. ‘Ibiza Nights’ takes some afr

I want to draw your attention to the fantastic news that the indie-pop trio Autoheart has released new music!

It’s a powerful track that holds the potential to resonate deeply and become a standout hit. I truly appreciate Autoheart’s lyrical dialogues. They effectively highlight important top

Now, the engineer who compressed your entire music library into pocket-sized files is now expanding sound beyond the confines of physical space. In the world of audio technology, few figures loom as large as Brandenburg. The German mathematician and computer scientist who helped gift the world MP3—that tiny file format that would eventually upend the entire music industry—is now bending sound

Music Week was nothing short of amazing, with stellar lineups, incredible production value, and of course, we can now relive our favorite sets on YouTube.

Skrillex takes to Dropbox to drop his whole new album, FUS with over 30 new bangers nicely mixed for a lovely 46-minute playtime. Now, after 14 hours, the whole album is ready for your ears. Sunny is notorious for sending fans mixed signals in odd ways like emails and even has fans figure things out through cryptic messages. In these messages, he closes the gap between artists and fans that is usually filled with marketing and labels. This is one of the many reasons why Skrillex is so loved by h

For well over two decades now, Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance mix album series has been a staple in dance music land. And much like his globally esteemed radio show itself, the sound of the mix albums evolves with each passing year, reflecting the Dutchman’s explorative nature and the ever-changing scene itself. This year, the mix series walks further down that path to deliver a trifecta of sound, guiding listeners through trance’s full spectrum—from sunlit melodies to peak-time intensity:

For those who find regular VIP experiences insufficiently exclusive, Miami's Ultra Music Festival offered the opportunity to spend the equivalent of four years at an Ivy League university on beverages consumed in three days. In what can only be described as the champagne equivalent of a nuclear arsenal, Ultra and TAO Group Hospitality's $425,000 bottle service experience—the aptly named "Fuck You Money" package—proves that some festival-goers prefer their bass drops served with financial devasta

Hi! Who are you?  Feed the Dragon! The founding crew is Mengzy, DJ Fu, Hocknell, and Justin Lim but we have a wider family that make up FTD, like our resident photographer Jake Aaron Morton and resident DJs, like MMEE, the producer who made ‘Headtop’, the first release on the label. What’s your ethos?  Building community and infrastructure. The bass scene here took off during Covid because the borders were basically shut but we had minimal lockdowns internally. A whole new ge

A package arrived on my doorstep one random Monday. Inside was a handwritten note from Skrillex: "Hope you find some time in your busy life to listen to this album from start to finish. ᥫ᭡ Sonny" Spoiler alert: I made time. And within just a few minutes of listening, it became clear that this was the sound of an artist who has nothing left to prove—but so much more to say. Born Sonny Moore, the prodigy who erupted from the MySpace ether has spent over a decade shapeshifting—punk screamer, dubste

While thunderclouds cracked open above Miami and Ultra Music Festival fell silent due to a flash flooding warning, Kaskade found himself DJing beneath a plastic tarp on the deck of a swaying boat—and made it one of the most unforgettable moments of Miami Music Week. The multi-Platinum DJ and producer teamed up with Mary Lou's to host a private pop-up party at sea attended by just 150, including members of EDM.com's staff. The intimate event was already one of the week's more sought-after, but it
