The group reportedly left the March 21st show, which was part of Excision's Nexus Tour, around midnight and hailed a rideshare before their vehicle was struck by a car "at a high rate of speed with no headlights." The man behind the wheel, Devin Ford, 23, was driving without insurance or a license, according to authoriti

Introducing Funkin Matt’s latest techno masterpiece, Open Your Eyes. Out now on Oliver Heldens‘imprint, Heldeep Records, the tune is a true summer heater. Funkin Matt is not new to Heldeep fans and followers. In fact, Open Your Eyes is his 10th single on the label. The tune kicks off with a solid percussive rhythm to slow down and open up on the first breakdown. The chill synth works and clean lines prepare the listener for the melodic techno drop of the second part. The tune is clean and fres

If you’re of a certain age, you can probably remember the origins of dubstep, this super wonky genre with a slower tempo and pitched and distorted synths coming out of the UK. Almost two decades later dubstep has evolved into one of the most popular genres in dance music on both sides of the pond (more on that later.) We got the chance to chat with UK dubstep veteran FuntCase. Hailing from Bournemouth, the DJ/producer James Hazell, better known as FuntCase, has been a mainstay on Flux Pavilion’s

Fuse Audio Labs has announced the availability of OCELOT Octaver — offered up as an octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease, duly designed to add deep punch to kicks, extra growl to bass, or subtle enhancements to synth lines as a streamlined tool that reshapes source material in powerful, specific ways with zero latency and minimal CPU (Central Processing Unit) load — as of June 19… OCELOT Octaver offers full control over the frequency focus of e

Electric Polar Bears, composed of Zero and Snowball, have built quite the exciting brand around their Arctic-inspired identity with pulsating dance beats, creating immersive performances featuring LED heads, confetti cannons, lasers, frost machines, and a penguin parade. Collaborations with Paris Hilton, Nitti Gritti, and CAZZETTE, alongside support from industry giants like Afrojack and Illenium, and performances at Decadence Arizona and Global Dance Festival have all attributed towards cementi

As Trump gears up for another term, new reports suggest he’s poised to reverse his previous ban on TikTok, signaling a pivot that could keep the platform thriving in the U.S. A Shift in Strategy for TikTok Reports from the Washington Post, New York Times, and Associated Press indicate that President-elect Donald Trump is expected to reverse his initial stance on TikTok, a position he aggressively held during his first term. Back in 2020, Trump’s executive order aimed at banning the a

Imagine it's 2013. Skrillex's brostep is decimating crowds, Avicii is triggering spiritual dancefloor awakenings, a 17-year-old Martin Garrix drops "Animals" and the retina-searing lasers of Ultra are changing eyeballs forever. While that EDM serotonin rush still remains, the industry looks different over a decade later, when its consumers often prioritize the intimate, walk-on-air euphoria of a dark warehouse rave over the regurgitated frills of a major festival. From a cultural standpoint, the

FVDED In The Park's cancellation in 2023 dealt a major blow to Metro Vancouver’s struggling music scene. One year later, Holland Park in the neighboring city of Surrey hosted a celebration of life, not a funeral, for the summer music festival. FVDED went all-in on electronic dance music this year, phasing out its 50-50 hip-hop split to accommodate an elite lineup of DJs. It seems omitting world-renowned rappers like Future, Jack Harlow, G-Eazy and Young Thug freed space to build a brilliant EDM

The Fyre Fest 2 saga continues with a turn of events no one, and I mean no one expected. Billy McFarland’s Fyre Fest 2 sent out an email to ticket holders explaining that they had decided to delay the event and change the location. This was due to multiple arguments with local officials. The Fyre Fest 2 Timeline At first, the event was allegedly happening at Isla Mujeres May 30 to June 1. However, after an official statement from the Isla Mujeres social media accounts, the event mov

The flames of Fyre Festival have flared up once again—this time with another round of confusion, vanishing updates, and a whole lot of uncertainty. Fyre Festival 2, the infamous sequel to the 2017 disaster, appears to be in jeopardy after a sudden postponement notice was quietly deleted from the festival’s website, leaving fans and critics alike wondering: is the fire officially out? On Wednesday, ticketholders were sent into a frenzy when the official website posted a message stating that t

In a plot twist nobody saw coming- Billy McFarland has announced that FYRE Festival is FOR SALE. Yes, that FYRE. The one with the cheese sandwiches, disaster tents, and more lawsuits than wristbands. Turns out the man behind the disaster 2017 meltdown wants someone else to take the reins of his “attention engine.” After two years of promising “honesty, transparency, and creativity,” McFarland says FYRE has outgrown him. Which is bold from a guy whose last big idea involved repurposed hurricane

Oren Aks, the former social media designer for Fyre Festival, recently spoke out about the role social media plays in elevating the profiles of individuals associated with criminal behavior. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Aks highlighted how social media has contributed to the glorification of figures like Fyre Festival creator Billy McFarland. Also, notorious scam artist Anna Delvey Sorokin, and UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione. The Role of Social Media in Idolizing Controv

The infamous Fyre Festival brand, associated with the disastrous 2017 event, is attempting another comeback, this time as a week-long “experience” in the Caribbean. Announced on June 2nd via an Instagram collaboration between the official Fyre account and its founder, the convicted fraudster Billy McFarland, the new venture is dubbed the “Fyre Coral View Pop-Up.“ Scheduled to take place from September 3rd to 10th on Utila, one of Honduras’ Bay Islands, the event is being marketed as a g

ILLUSORY TRACKS, the next EP from G Jones, was promised before the end of the year, but no official release date has yet been announced. So, with less than 2 months to go, we only have the single “Operator” out so far. Luckily, G Jones is nothing if not generous to his fans, and along with Eprom has released the Disk Doctors mixtape with edits, IDs, and mashups galore. The first track is more than likely the next single on the EP, “R.A.V.E.” with Eprom, a phenomenal way to kick things off. That
