Sunday May 18th 2025 was the opening weekend at the largest outdoor beachclub in North America and #1 club in Canada. David Guetta ignited the crowd by opening with ‘I’m Good’ and in that very moment the crowd knew no matter how cold and rainy the day is they were going to have a good time. David Guetta made his return to Quebec for a second year in a row and turned a gloomy 9°C Sunday into an unforgettable kickoff to the season. Despite borderline hypothermic temperatures causing some in the cr

Disclosure is experiencing a slight delay with the release of their new song. The track is a club version of Dur-Dur Band’s top song, Dooyo. Initially, the song title of Disclosure’s version was going to be Warya. But they received a bunch of backlash for the song name choice. Something they didn’t understand, the word Warya is a disrespectful word in the Somali culture. The DJ duo got a mistranslation of the word, which led to the mistake. They have admitted their mistake and have mentione

MSpectralDynamics / Melda Production Yo UKF! For “Run It” with DJ Diesel, I kept it super simple. No crazy gear, just tools I trust. The whole thing was made in FL Studio, which I’ve been using forever. Most of the sound design came from Serum. It is my go-to plugin! Super flexible, super clean. I don’t overthink it. I just start twisting knobs until something cool happens. One of my favorite tricks in Serum is to resample and re-import my own patches as new wavetables, then process

When Axwell Λ Ingrosso released More Than You Know on May 24, 2017, few could have predicted the kind of staying power it would have. What began as a summer single became something far more lasting. Built around emotional lyrics, steady percussion, and an unmistakable vocal hook, the release felt personal without being dramatic. It didn’t need to shout. It just needed to land, and it did. By the end of that year, the song had reached number one in Germany and Austria. It climbed charts across Sw

Hard rock and electronic dance music have always been worlds apart, but that was before DJ Snake decided to bridge the gap. The Paris-based music producer and DJ has taken the audacious step of remixing the rock classic ‘This is the New Sh*t’ by Marilyn Manson into a pulsating dance track. The result? ‘Reloaded‘. A track that is as edgy as it is danceable, and as defiant as it is catchy. For those of you who are not familiar with the original song, ‘This is the New Sh*t’ was a hit from Maril

The Corsham, Wiltshire-based company informed customers earlier this month that their bookings, with prices ranging from £10,000 to £16,500, will not be honored due to the company’s financial collapse. Currently, refunds are unavailable, and affected individuals have
