Enter Subvert, whose founder, Austin Robey, saw

Moody Good reaffirms his penchant for grimy, ominous dubstep with his new single, "Get Splashed."

Switching gears in its final minute, the song's coda could easily soundtrack a sci-fi alien film, its haunting call-and-response carrying suspense and leaving listeners

Flosstradamus has teamed up with promising bass music producer Viperactive for a trap track of epic proportions, "HITA." Through its entirety, the track unsurprisingly urges listeners to put their "hands in the air," building the energy. The beat eventually overflows into a ground-shaking drop, where thick 808s and rapid-fire tribal drums set the perfect scene for a laser show while a whistling melody slices through the mix. Accompanied by an unrelenting rhythm, Flosstradamus and Viperactive the

Festivals vendors are struggling with their businesses right now. As a matter of fact, traders are questioning the value of attending festivals as costs rise and events are being canceled. In 2024 only, at least 36 UK festivals were either postponed or shut down, according to the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF). In addition to that, increasing fees and commission demands are squeezing profits of the vendors, making it very difficult to make the experience a success. Emily Fields,

The campsite didn’t fare much better, with numerous tents and canopies left in tatters by the storm. Th
