Asher Shashaty and Dani King’s new collaboration, “LA On My Mind,” is a sparkling, easy-listening number led by King’s evocative vocals. Memorable for her work with Ace Aura and Bear Grillz, among other dance artists, King has released music on prominent labels in the space, including Wakaan, Monstercat, Disciple, and NCS.

StubHub is hitting the pause button on its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), opting to delay until after Labor Day. This decision comes as the company navigates a market that has been less than welcoming to consumer IPOs in recent months. Market Uncertainty Leads to IPO Delay Originally aiming for a summer IPO with a valuation target of at least $16.5 billion, StubHub has decided to hold off due to stagnant market conditions. The lack of significant consumer IPOs recently

We all know about StubHub by now. Many use the third party site for tickets to various events all around the world. Now, it’s been reported that the major player in online ticket resale markets is aiming for an initial public offering (IPO) by late summer 2024, targeting a valuation of $16.5 billion. According to The Information, StubHub is testing investors’ appetites for cash-strapped companies as the firm has piled up more than $2 billion in debt. Additionally, CNBC has discovered that St

A settlement has been reached in Los Angeles between the State of California and leading ticket reseller StubHub. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, and events were canceled, San Francisco based StubHub changed its FanProtect Guarantee. Instead of providing full cash refunds, as advertised at the time, it began offering credits that could be used for future events. Thus, California Department of Justice investigation found the San Francisco-based company failed to issue timely refunds for cance

Feature Image Photo Credit- Thea Greenfield I’ve been making music for a long time now and in that time I’ve had a few different studio setups. One was almost completely analogue and others have been either hybrid or totally in the box. My preferred setup for speed and ease of use is in the box but they all had their merits.  That said, one of my favourite pieces of studio gear is the Roland VP-03. Currently I own the Behringer VC340 which is an analogue re-creation of this classic s

Roland Juno 10 Burr Oak let us know what they can’t live without in the studio. We had the privilege of having this classic hardware synth in the studio for several years thanks to a friend of Julien’s, and this iconic piece of hardware has become an integral part of our music-making process, infusing our tracks with its distinctive melancholic and emotive synth tones. What we love about this synth, like many vintage hardware synths, is how its sound evolves over time. Even more so w

Furstein Silent Piano Hi, it’s Erik from our duo EXEA. I’ll go a little classical on this one and say the most important gear I own is my upright piano. To be exact, I own a Furstein Silent Piano. “Silent” meaning it has a headphone jack output, which enables me to practice without annoying my neighbours too much on weekends.  I’ve been using it for around five years now, and I’m very happy with it. The keys are quite heavy, which is amazing for practice (to get those fingers nice

PreSonus Studio One 6 I have been using Studio One since its release in version 4, and it has taken me a significant amount of time to master its capabilities fully. Initially, I explored several other digital audio workstations (DAWs), but ultimately, Studio One has emerged as my preferred choice due to its robust feature set and seamless workflow. One of the primary reasons I have chosen Studio One is its commitment to regular updates, which ensures that the software remains stable

We chat to JAEL about what he can’t live without in the studio. Barefoot SoundType: Footprint03 These are my favourite monitors I have ever bought ! They look so cool, are compact and are built for serious audio pros for a great price. I came across these when my friend went to visit NAMM and told me about a 3 way speaker with MEME technology. I mix all of my own productions and these monitors are the best to my liking. Why? MEME Tech. The MEME Technology in these monitors is

Yo! My name is Primate, and I’m gonna give you a quick rundown of my favourite studio gear and number one most used studio equipment! For starters, I’ll add that I’m not a big user of hardware equipment apart from a little midi keyboard and some automation knobs (I just love taking basic sounds and adding loads of effects to design them to my liking!)  Primate’s Latest Release on ‘Abundance’ Out Now on Souped Up This leads to today’s pick: The Pro-Q 3 by FabFilter. It might sound weird t

Reason 12 by Reson Studios Hey UKF crew! Let’s talk music. I get asked about the gear that I use a lot. In reality, the only real gear I use is a MIDI keyboard and Reason 12. That’s all I need. Reason 12 is my go-to DAW because it’s super fast and easy to use. I love how quickly I can get my ideas down and start playing around with them. The way Reason’s interface is set up helps me move from one idea to the next without getting stuck, which is key when I want to turn spontaneous thoughts i

A new study has revealed that dance music has a unique ability to improve mental health. Fans of EDM and healthcare professionals have both recognized the uplifting impact. From a personal standpoint, I could not agree with this more. I have found that dance music always brings joy to my day and has pulled me out of ruts. The study has proved EDM is therapy and provides emotional needs to its listeners. Conducted by the team behind Tebra’s The Intake platform, a comprehensive online resourc

We could be dubbed as the ultimate spoilt-for-choices music generation, literally! A single day of music releases in this era is greater than the entire calendar year of 1989. This is per a report by Music Radar that intends to look into the current state of “music creation economy”. It also probes into subscription models with added inputs from Spotify’s former Chief Economist, Will Page. The same report by Music Radar also cites a study by business analyst, MiDIA. It reveals that there

Drawing inspiration from Skrillex’s early work, the Call of Duty video game series, and the heavy metal juggernauts comprising Slipknot, “GNASH” adds to STVG’s gro

As we come to the end of the year, many artists take this time to reflect on what has come in the 12 months prior, but that is not the case with STVN LEON as he continues to unleash some awesome tunes for us to enjoy at this holiday season. Fresh from the release of his previous single on Don Diablo‘s Generation HEX record label, Chicago-based artist STVN LEON offers up a brand new two track solo EP containing singles ‘Voices’ and ‘In My Mind’.
