As we gear up for Miami Music Week 2025—the premier electronic music festival in North America—exciting opportunities abound. We had a fantastic chat with Geronimo, the Vice President of Music Programming at SiriusXM, who shared insights about the week ahead. If you’re heading to Miami for Music Week or the Ultra Music Festival, don’t miss out on the chance to participate in captivating audience events that will make your experience unforgettable. This is your chance to immerse yourself in the heart of electronic music culture—don’t miss out! Here’s an exclusive preview of our chat with SiriusXM as we anticipate an incredible Miami Music Week.
Chat with SiriusXM Ahead of MMW
Hi I am Scott from EDMTunes and I am live with Geronimo who is getting ready for a big Miami Music Week. So tell us a bit about what you have in store.
Hi! Each year we try to do up close and personal performances from DJs and usually an interview is included in that. It’s all curated by real humans. This year we are super excited to have a take over on one of the channels by LP Giobbi and her crew. We also just secured Major Lazer to do an event in our studios with all three members. We have a couple major names that are a surprise and can’t be announced until they are on. There are probably another 20 performances and maybe more with interviews as well.
Wow, that’s amazing. It’s SiriusXM’s 21st year being involved with Music Week. Does it feel like time’s flying by or what?
I didn’t realize how fast it flew by until the pandemic when Music Week didn’t happen. We had to do a virtual version of Ultra Music Festival on air. Right after that, I realized how much I missed it. And I must say it’s blown by even faster since then.
Will you guys at SiriusXM be live streaming any parties or Ultra sets this year?
We don’t have a partnership with Ultra this year. However, since we opened up our Miami Studios, I think a little less than three years ago, we’ve focused on having artists come by here. Prior to that, we had our own parties at the W or the 1 Hotel. With the studios we really wanted to capitalize on being right there on the beach amongst all the parties and having artists come by.
Tell us more about the studio. Whereabouts is it? If audience members want to get involved, how can they do that?
We always want our fans there. So you can just follow us at SiriusXM socials, to sign up, where we solicit for people, listeners, and subscribers to enter. A drop-down pops up where they can enter and put their names for various shows. There is also a slot where they can write in what they want to attend if they don’t see what they like. The placement is limited because we try to keep the experience intimate. It’s something you really couldn’t get anywhere else. It’s almost like Boiler Room style but even more intimate than that. It’s 50 people or less.
So this kicks off on Wednesday night with what looks like a SiriusXM chill event with Nora En Pure, and it’s an audience event right? You have BPM, Diplo’s Revolution and Pitbull’s Globalization in the mix too right?
Yes we do! Being that is Mr 305’s channel, they always have a strong presence during Miami Music Week. It’s not just on the Latin side, it’s a little bit of everything on this channel, which is great for everybody. It is great for listeners and I love the fact that we can share the across the platform with other channels.
As somebody who’s kind of a purveyor of electronic music, you know that Miami Music Week is kind of the debut of what’s going to be big for the coming year. So do you have any predictions on some banger tracks that we’re going to be hearing non-stop this week?
I just got off an internal discussion about this. I feel like the rave house style is about to blow up. It’s going to be the sound of summer. The jigitz track ‘tell you straight’, big party banger and will pop up in a lot of sets.
Do you have any party or event that you’re looking out for as one of the biggest ones to be at this week?
Anything Black Book with Chris Lake, I am loving that sound. Chris I feel like is one of the best to ever do it. And probably didn’t get enough credit and now is finally getting the credit where it’s due. So I am super excited about anything Black Book Records, Chris Lake. And of course Experts Only, John Summit. He’s just a mammoth. We do internal research and nobody’s been bigger for the last three years than John Summit. And he can probably form his own religion in Miami at this point.
Scott – Yeah, as a local in Miami that party sold out pretty much instantly.
Even his management was like “I have you down but I’ll let you know it’s touch and go right now” because they’re limited with capacity. And also anything LP Giobbi does, I just love. Her vibe of women empowerment, it’s definitely an area over the years that was lacking in electronic music and she really kicked the door down. And done a great job for herself and women DJs in general.
Scott – It’s been really interesting to see the growth of female DJs in the scene, especially when you see the house and techno world, where they have a very healthy representation. They’re killing it.
Years ago you could go to an event, there would not be one female DJ. It’s exciting years later it is finally happening. It’s not forced, it’s legitimately earned and it’s exciting to see that side of the industry that was aligned unfairly.
As somebody who has been doing Music Week for many years and has been in the EDM scene from its golden age to now, what are some of the most memorable Miami Music Week moments from a cultural standpoint?
I’ve seen Diplo many times over the years and we have a channel with him. But if there is anybody who loves the culture of music and dance music in general it’s that guy. And he is so smart with catering to whatever audience he has, whether it’s a daytime pool party, a nighttime party and you know a four in the morning. He is just a genius music curator. I’ve learned over the years from Diplo’s Revolution how important it is to him and how active he is with the channel. He’s got great people around him, but he himself is amazing at curating the channel and a day or night party. I’ve seen that over the years, I’ve seen him go from Open format DJing to specific styles to performing at Coachella and doing EDM and country style music.
But also legends like Carl Cox , who year over year seem to reinvent themselves. Armin van Buuren, who you’d think by now is tired of playing Ultra. But he’s not. It’s such an important event, you touched on it earlier how every year this is sort of the beginning. And it’s exciting for me as a music lover and a dance music fan? What’s going to be big? I touched upon jigitz earlier but years ago, seeing Avicii at Ultra perform a country music set and I remember the look on people’s faces.. “wait what’s this? I have no idea what it is and it grew and it worked. So it’s just a matter of some artists having the guts to go up on stage and be a little different.
Is there anything else from SiriusXM you would like to plug before we go? Reminder for all our readers to listen to SiriusXM all this week. And if you’re in Miami during Music Week, go on and sign up to try and go to the live audience performances and head on over South Beach and see it yourself.
Our studio is street level, its right across the 1 Hotel, you can’t miss it. There is a big SiriusXM on the building, and that’s where our big party will be pumping. Thanks all!

Just when we thought there was a glimmer of hope for a continuation of Afterlife, the brand is again thrown into uncertainty and turmoil. To much fanfare, Afterlife announced that it would host two different 2-day festivals in Barcelona and Mexico City. These Afterlife Festivals would not feature Tale of Us but would feature one day curated by Anyma and another day curated by MRAK.
Today, Zamna announced that the Mexico City edition of the Afterlife Festival was being canceled due to “unforeseen technical and licensing issues with the venue”. There was unfortunately no alternative plan or reschedule mentioned. However, this venue has hosted Afterlife events before, so we can’t help but wonder whether the idea of Afterlife continuing live events in this disjointed fashion will be workable at all. At this time, the Barcelona dates remain on the calendar, so let’s hope those go off smoothly.
In this new era, Anyma and MRAK are moving in different directions, both musically and business-wise. This means that contractual entanglements may make it difficult to hold these events while the two label heads remain at odds. We don’t know why this happened, but after the hype surrounding the new Afterlife era, this is certainly a big setback.
Tickets will be automatically refunded.

Madeon is preparing to redefine live performance again, announcing a landmark show at Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 3rd.
With intricate sound and visual design, the French artist has a history of treating live shows as immersive experiences that blur the lines between concert, technological showcase and pure artistic expression. From his breakthrough "Pop Culture" live mashup that went viral in 2011 to his groundbreaking "Good Faith Forever" tour production, he's never been content with musical status quo.
For those who've followed that trajectory, the upcoming Red Rocks show is a big moment after Madeon took a gap year to develop what he's called "a brand new era." He's now poised to unfold it at Red Rocks, one of the nation's preeminent open-air music venues.
The cryptic announcement also comes with the promise of a "new live show" and unreleased music. Red Rocks, with its natural acoustics and stunning geological backdrop, seems the ideal canvas. 
Madeon is launching a pre-sale on Wednesday, March 26th at 10am MT. Fans can sign up for the pre-sale code here.

It’s a well known fact that the UK nightlife scene has been suffering in recent years. Now the BBC have released a documentary ‘Nightclubs: Is The Party Over?’ which offers a look into why clubs are shutting, and what could be done to save them.
The statistics are truly shocking as since 2020, 419 clubs have shut down which is a third of all clubs in the UK caused in large part by the impact of COVID. The big problem clubs are facing today is money as running costs are rising, which means drinks costs go up, leading to people not being able to afford to go out. In a recent study 68% of people said that the state of the economy has reduced how much they go out to clubs.
‘Nightclubs: Is The Party Over?’ shines a light on these issues and provides the perspective of club owners, clubgoers, and DJs to give a better understanding of how clubs shutting affects their lives. Through these perspectives you start to see how the situation has become so dire, but also that there are some glimmers of hope as the documentary looks at some successful clubs and how they’re staying afloat. It also addresses how this decline in nightclubs is affecting young DJs in being able to get their careers started as it’s the smaller clubs that are suffering the most.
If the decline of nightclubs continues on the same trajectory, then it is predicted that by 2029 all nightclubs in the UK will be gone. This makes it critical that people are aware of the problem and that there are ways to stop this, and this documentary does a great job at explaining it all.

Lost Frequencies: “These kind of moments make me feel so thankful to the people that are coming out to my sets, the vibe absolutely incredible from start to finish, no downs, only good vibes!

Sometimes, one little reel or short-format video is all it takes to give you a head start into stardom. However, it takes dedication, planning, and follow-through, to continuously ride the wave and use your platform the most effective way. This is just one of the many intricate things we learnt about the up-and-coming DJ and producer OKAYVAL. The Florida-based artist has taken House music by storm with her newest track ‘Techno Sh’. Her sound portrays infectious, dark grooves and heavy basslines. Moreover, her social media presence resonates with her audience, launching her career to new heights.
We had a chance to speak with OKAYVAL and discuss her artist career, latest track, and what else she has going on for the rest of the year.
How has the power of social media impacted your music career thus far?
It has changed everything for me. It brought so many opportunities when it comes to labels and the back-end of the music industry. As well as allowing me to build a community. Now my fans know me through social media and they’re able to discover more of me and my music. It has changed my life completely.
How has social media changed the panorama for edm artists across the world?
Artists are getting discovered more, yet it has its pros and cons. I know a lot of artists say: “Well, now I have to share videos and stories on social media about my music”. They would rather spend that time in focusing on their music and producing instead. But I think it’s a good opportunity for new artists and current artists to put themselves out there. I understand how tedious it can be worrying about going viral and being consistent. But I also see the opportunities to grow and build a bigger fanbase, and bring new eyes into your brand.
What’s an important element in marketing artists can focus on outside of social media?
I would say mostly building relationships. Getting yourself out there and meet people in the industry, other artists, play pop-up shows. I’m seeing a lot more pop-up out there, they’re super hot right now and I want to start playing them as well. They feel super close and personal. If you’re not a big social media person, I feel that you can start creating those bonds with different artists, gather their support, and play a lot locally. That will help you will be building a fan base. Like, hey I saw OKAYVAL at this random show and really liked her.
And we saw you’re staying busy right now, with pop-up shows, your own headlining shows, and opening up for Louis the Child recently?
Yes I did, I was with AM Radio (that’s Steve Cardigan) for a pop-up, they usually do plenty of them in LA. This time, they brought it to Austin, TX and it was crazy. There was a line outside at 10am to see us play and the crowd was amazing. It was the first time I ever did something like that. So, that’s why I think pop-up shows are the next big thing.
How have your Colombian roots influence your music? 
Actually, I haven’t got the chance to do more Spanish vocals or like Latin-House as OKAYVAL, which I want to do soon. Growing up, my mom used to listen to House and Techno all the time, but it was like David Guetta, Tiesto. That’s why I like the harder, darker side of House. As of right now I haven’t included any of those roots yet but I will be soon.
Your mom is a former raver, do you go out to raves together? 
We haven’t partied together like that yet. But I am really excited because I have an upcoming show in NY and she will be seeing me perform live for the first time. I’ve been wanting to take her to shows for a while. But I think it’ll be super special when I get to take her to big events like Ultra or Tomorrowland when I play there.
You also won the Insomniac’s Discovery Project for Project Glow, can you walk us through that experience?
So honestly, I didn’t remember submitting the mix. Like, I knew i had done it but i had totally forgot about it because I was so busy and focused on other things. I was sitting on my couch and got a call from an LA number but I didn’t answer thinking it was a spam call. Then, they left me a voicemail from Insomniac and I called them immediately. I couldn’t believe it, Nostalgix was the special judge and i really look up to her career and her success. I ended up playing in Denver the night before then went straight to DC to play at Project Glow.
Moreover, I was super nervous since it was my first time playing on a big stage, but Insomniac treated me so well and they were super accommodating. I ended up releasing a song with them shortly after, so that was a pretty cool experience.
Your newest track ‘Techno Sh’ has blown up and it reached #1 on the Beatport Electronica, how are you feeling right now?
I wasn’t expecting it to blow so hard. Yes, I knew it was a special song and there was a lot of hype behind it. But I have other viral videos with past songs and I thought those songs would do great back then. This time around, the audience response felt so genuine and powerful. I went into it with no expectations, but now it’s going super well, and people message me telling me how much they love the track.
What’s the story behind ‘Techno Sh’? 
It used to sound so different when I first started it. It used to be called ‘Slap”. I worked with a very talented vocalist who writes as well. And when he came up with the ‘Techno Sh’ vocals I knew that was the way to go. I feel the lyrics are the big drivers of the song.
How will you carry the momentum of this track into this coming year?
I’m working on tons of new music, I want to keep releasing more tracks consistently. I did switch from more melodic into darker tech-house now, so i have finally found my sound. I want to release more songs and play more gigs to continue to build that relationship with the fans. That’s our six month plan at least, but I’m super excited.
You have plenty of shows coming up, how are you preparing yourself? 
I just sit down and listen to a lot of music. Yes I play my music but i also love playing tracks from up and coming artists. I also like to keep up the energy, since i feed up the crowd’s energy. I like to put myself on the dancefloor and envision how the crowd will react to my set list.
Go support OKAYVAL on her social media and her upcoming shows, as well as her newest single ‘Techno Sh’.

Taking place across 4 stages at Boston Manor Park in London from 12pm to 10pm on 2nd August 2025, Jamie Jones has curated a stellar lineup featuring the cream of house and techno. With more names still to be announced, heavy hitters revealed today include Vintage Culture, Seth Troxler, Hot Since 82, wAFF, Manda Moor, East End Dubs, Richy Ahmed, Fleur Shore, Mason Maynard, and of course, Jamie Jones himself will step up to the decks.

Manda Moor continues her rise and will drop the tastiest Chicago house-flavoured blend of grooves and tech. Original Paradise at DC-10 resident and Hot Creations A&R, Richy Ahmed knows exactly what makes Paradise vibes special and so will the crowds at Boston Manor Park during his set. Underground heavyweight East End Dubs is the name on everyone’s lips and Paradise In The City will be jumping to his acid-tinged mix of London house and garage.

The list of talent lining up for Paradise In The City is breathtaking. Festival-goers can roam 4 stages in the glorious setting of Boston Manor Park and find more unmissable sets from the likes of Alisha, Bontan, Dimmish, Fleur Shore, Mason Maynard, Mr G, Omar S, and Sidney Charles. 
 
Paradise has always been a showcase for new and fast-rising talent and this festival brings even more treats to the turntables with exciting sets from Evie, Fifi Forte, Gaskin, Jamback, L.P. Rhythm, Late Replies, Olive F, and Omri.
 
With even more names to be announced, Paradise In The City will be the ultimate outdoor summer festival for house and techno lovers. Like a slice of Ibiza in West London, party people can dance in the sun from noon, and as the sun goes down, come together to lose themselves in the best mix of electronic music and positive vibrations.

What if the key to electronic music production lies in a single, forgotten word: fun?
Flux Pavilion and Doctor P are bringing mischief back to the music, and they're not playing by the numbers. After two decades of collaboration, the British dubstep pioneers are finally releasing an album, which serves as both a time capsule of their teenage jams and a middle finger to the data-driven dourness creeping into today's scene.
Wobble meets whimsy in the duo's self-titled album, due out March 27th to align with their long-awaited return to Miami's storied Ultra Music Festival. A technicolor burst of bass-heavy brilliance, it shrugs off the shackles of streaming metrics to prioritize one core principle: fun.
The album smiles and snarls, fighting back against the Spotifyfication of dubstep. Speaking with Flux Pavilion and Doctor P, whose real names are Josh Steele and Shaun Brockhurst respectively, it's clear they've tapped into a creative vein that's as refreshing as it is rebellious—a throwback to the genre's wilder, less self-conscious days.
Dubstep is far from dying, despite its detractors continuing to waste their breath arguing otherwise. In fact, it's evolving, according to Steele and Brockhurst, two mates who still love the game as much as they did when they were blowing out cheap speakers in their parents' basements 23 years ago.
Not-so-subtle nods to their past anchor the album's ethos: this isn't just who they are now, but who they've always been. That depth comes through in their sound design, a fascinating exercise in irreverent storytelling that weaves both drama and humor without tipping into parody. It's a balancing act they've honed despite industry pressures to pick a lane—serious or silly.
We caught up with the influential founders of Circus Records to discuss the creative direction of their new album, and how they channeled their past to recapture the spontaneity and wild spirit of early dubstep. Fans can pre-order Doctor P & Flux Pavilion here ahead of its release Thursday, March 27th.
Fiona Garden
EDM.com: You mentioned that this album encapsulates not just who you are now, but who you've been your entire lives. What's a moment from your early years that directly influenced a track on this album?
Doctor P: One of the first tracks we wrote for the album was "Turbo Time." When Josh sent me the original demo I was instantly reminded of a song called "Plain Chocolate" that we made together when we were teenagers. The funky saxophone riff is very similar and it made me smile when I heard it. I think that moment of remembering "Plain Chocolate" probably caused me to start taking more influence from our early music together.
Flux Pavilion: At that point in the album writing process we were just writing lots of simple demos and we had no idea what the album would end up becoming.
EDM.com: You’ve been working together for over 20 years. If you had to pick one track on the album that perfectly embodies the essence of Flux Pavilion and Doctor P—past, present and future—which one would it be and why?
Doctor P: I think "Feel Good Ltd" is quite a good representation of us, even though it doesn't necessarily sound exactly like anything we’ve done before. It’s packed full of sounds and grooves that feel very us and it came together relatively quickly and easily, which is always a sign that a song has arrived quite organically.
Flux Pavilion: The fact that it has a self-indulgent guitar solo really makes it stand out as a completely uncompromising Flux Pavilion and Doctor P track.
EDM.com: In a time when so much of electronic music is driven by data and algorithms, how do you maintain that spontaneity and a sense of fun in your creative process?
Doctor P: We decided very early on in the process of writing the album that we should deliberately avoid any and all thoughts about making music specifically to target streaming, radio, et cetera. We wanted to capture the sort of creative process that came naturally in a time when the commercial performance of the tracks didn’t matter and we were just focussed on being creative and having fun with the music.
Flux Pavilion: Fun is the key here. Every song was written around that context. If we weren't having fun, it didn’t make the cut. If we enjoy it, we felt like that's the closest thing to guaranteeing that our fans would enjoy it too. That's all that mattered.
EDM.com: Do you think electronic music, and especially dubstep, takes itself too seriously today? Has that sense of playfulness been lost, with so much emphasis on algorithm-friendly music, AI, streaming metrics and branded storytelling?
Flux Pavilion: I think the fun and chaos of circa-2010 dubstep has definitely evolved away over time. I think the fading of lighthearted fun and silliness in dubstep aligns with society and music in general becoming more serious.
Doctor P: We wanted to bring back some fun to the music but not in a comedic way. The artwork is a good visual representation of our goals with the music. On the surface it’s colorful and fun but when you look closer, there’s more going on that you may have originally realized.
EDM.com: Could AI ever capture the chaotic magic of two friends in a studio bouncing ideas off each other?
Doctor P: One thing I kept coming back to over the course of writing the album and especially when I was drawing all the artwork was the idea of "AI could never." In a time when everyone seems to be obsessed with AI I wanted to create something that could only be made by human hands and brains.
EDM.com: You mention wanting to capture both drama and humor in the album. How do you craft those contrasts in your sound design? Is there a specific production technique that you lean on to create that push-and-pull?
Flux Pavilion: I think the fun elements happen fairly organically. We’re not making comedy music but humor always seems to find its way into the music somehow. The drama is more deliberate as it can be a tricky thing to craft.
Doctor P: You’re basically trying to control people's emotions with noise, which is a strange art form to perfect. Luckily Josh is extremely good at capturing emotions in sound, so the dramatic parts of the album came together more successfully than I think they do when I make music alone.
EDM.com: Your message behind this album is about embracing both the serious and the silly in music. Has there ever been a time when the industry pressured you to be just one or the other? How did you navigate that?
Doctor P: Back in the early days of my career when I went from a bedroom producer to a "real" producer and touring DJ, there was a sudden feeling that the music was more serious and important than before because peoples' jobs were suddenly on the line. That took away some of the fun of the music for a while but I eventually learned to move past it and recapture the original feeling of the music.
Flux Pavilion: I feel like this could probably be another interview all on its own. We’ve been around a while now and the tapestry of the industry has changed so much, let alone our personal goals. Though I think deep down we've both stuck to this general attitude of serious and silly all at once.
View the original article to see embedded media.
EDM.com: Every artist has a moment where they take a creative risk that makes them nervous. What’s the riskiest decision you made on this album, and how did it pay off?
Doctor P: "Hot Piss" is not a piece of music that I would not have created for anything other than this album. I don't think either me or Josh would be bold enough to make a song like that on our own, but we both kept encouraging each other to keep going with the weirdness and we ended up with a very strange but interesting song as a result.
Flux Pavilion: We started by making completely atonal noises as an experiment to see if we could create a coherent piece of music from pure chaos.
EDM.com: Dubstep has gone through many cycles: its explosive rise in South London, the American brostep wave, today's 140 resurgence. Where do you see the genre heading now?
Doctor P: People have been regularly telling me dubstep is dying since about 2010 but at this point in time I think we can be pretty confident it's not going to die anytime soon. I think dubstep will continue to evolve as all music does. Dubstep has become more than just one genre.
Flux Pavilion: It’s really a whole category of bass music that loosely fits under one umbrella term so I'm sure it will continue to branch out more and more. As long as people are making good music it will always continue to exist.
EDM.com: If this album is a full-circle moment, what's the next evolution for Flux Pavilion and Doctor P?
Doctor P: I feel personally like this album is a bit of a reset. A few of the half finished songs I had lying around have ended up on the album so everything I’m going to release after has been created from scratch very recently. Working on so much music with Josh has also been quite an interesting learning experience so I feel like I’ve learned a few new things, which will probably influence the music I'm working on now.
Flux Pavilion: Next step for me is finish up a couple of remixes I’ve promised and then get Fluxiverse Volume 3 together. We’re just working with our team to get a Doctor P and Flux Pavilion tour sorted. I think we’ll be talking about that properly very, very soon.
EDM.com: Tell us about your big Ultra Music Festival performance on March 30th. Are there any innovative ways you're planning on entwining the album in your set, or any special moments for which attendees should keep an eye out?
Doctor P: I've had the Ultra set in the back of my mind for a while so I’ve been stowing away ideas every time I do a DJ set. We haven’t meticulously planned the set but we've both got some interesting mixes to pull out. I don’t like planning sets in too much detail as it’s more fun to read the crowd and play off their reactions.
Flux Pavilion: Doctor P and Flux Pavilion b2b sets are a part of Ultra folklore. I can’t wait to get out there and write this next chapter!

It has become commonplace for festivals to begin selling tickets for next year the day after the festival ends, but Ultra Music Festival just took things up a notch. While Ultra Music Festival 2025 doesn’t even begin until Friday, the festival has launched a limited loyalty sale for 2026 already.

Ultra Passport gives points for attending Ultra each year along with other “check in” type rewards.

Konstantin Kobra ‘Love Story’ is primed to drop on the breaking UK imprint, Famous When Dead Records. Marking the label’s third release to date, the single invites listeners into a world of passion and depth, creating a sonic experience that instantly resonates with the dancefloor. 
 
“Love Story” crafts a pure, mesmerising journey, combined with deep and minimalistic production that seamlessly blends melodic House flavour and progressive elements that elevate the song. Led by the enchantment of Tiana’s succinct vocals which are supported throughout by a warm bassline and atmospheric synths that support the theme.

Following 3 years of experimentation, he delivers a classic analog warmth, merged with often minimal, acid and deep tech inspired vibes to his productions. Standing out as an innovative producer.

“Love Story” is a deeply impactful track for today’s world. Upon first hearing it, label head CASH ONLY was immediately captivated by its strength and originality. He recalls, “When I first heard this track, I couldn’t stop listening to it. It was a truly beautiful piece of music, and the sound Kobra created was unlike anything I was currently hearing. I knew it would be a perfect fit for the early part of my set, and I wanted to give him a platform to release it.” As the saying goes, the rest is history. By welcoming Konstantin Kobra to the label, FWD continues to amplify the raw energy that’s at the core of its mission.
 
“Love Story” will be available on all major digital platforms, marking the continuation of an exciting year of releases ahead for both Konstantin Kobra and Famous When Dead Records.

That’s right, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has chosen Loop Earplugs as its first official earplug partner for 2025. The limited-edition Loop x Coachella Experience 2 earbuds are the result of the partnership. They are meant to improve the live music experience by providing superior sound quality and style.
Sharing how music and fashion come together, Loop and Coachella want festivalgoers to “go front row” for the best experience. This year, singers like Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott will be performing. The Loop x Coachella Experience 2 has 17 dB (SNR) of filtered noise reduction to protect your ears and keep the sound clear. It does all of this without missing a beat.
A design coming straight from the desert
The earplugs have a unique gradient design that features warm desert colors like soft peach and dreamy blue. The design was inspired by the sunrise and sunset at Coachella in California. This changing color scheme shows how the festival’s mood changes from morning to night.
Each set comes with a Loop x Coachella Carry Case that matches. If you want to keep your earplugs in place while you dance the day (or night) away at an event, you can buy the optional Loop x Coachella Link connector cord separately.
The partnership connects hearing health to the festival experience. This is in line with Loop’s goal to give people the tools they need to live fully through wellness-driven innovations that make the world a better place to be. At Coachella, this idea comes to life, and the festival also celebrates the carefree self-expression that’s good for everyone.
The limited-edition earplugs were first available to people who bought Coachella passes during the early sale in November 2024.
You will also be able to buy Loop x Coachella Experience 2 earplugs ($39.95) and the Loop x Coachella Link connector cord ($29.95).
From March 18, 2025, until supplies last, online at loopearplugs.com At Coachella, there will be merchandise stands and mobile Loop Earplugs booths from April 11–13 and April 18–20, 2025. Loop
Loop is a Belgian leisure brand that makes cutting-edge, stylish headphones that are good for your health and well-being and help you live life at your max. Like earplugs for your eyes. Maarten Bodewes and Dimitri O got the idea for the business from Belgium in 2016 and it’s been making waves ever since.
Loop has been called “the best earplugs for concerts” by the New York Times. Over 10 million pairs of earplugs have been sold by the company around the world. The US is where most of the sales are made, but customers come from more than 150 other countries as well. Loop has over 300 full-time workers right now, with headquarters in Antwerp and hubs in Amsterdam, New York, and Shanghai.
Standard procedures and guidelines are used to test all of Loop’s goods in a thorough way. The European Union has laws that say loop earplugs are a legal way to protect your hearing. These laws cover personal hearing protection devices and personal safety equipment (PPE).

Mysteryland is the longest running music festival in the world, with 2025 marking 32 years since it began in 1993. The pioneering festival, which takes place annually in the Netherlands, attracts more than 100 000 people from over 100 countries each year. This year’s installment will take place in Haarlemmermeer, near Amsterdam from 22 – 24 August.
With a wealth of experience in hosting festival’s, Mysteryland are well-versed in catering for a variety of music tastes and soundscapes, from trance to techno, house, hardstyle, EDM as well as afrobeats. The festival dropped their phenomenal lineup for this year’s edition, which features world-renowned headliners Adriatique, Hardwell, Eric Prydz, Paul van Dyk and more!
Other notable acts include legends like FISHER, with his unstoppable momentum and chart-topping hits, as well as Marlon Hoffstadt, who’s redefining trance with his futuristic sets. Techno trailblazers Indira Paganotto and Patrick Mason are set to push boundaries with their genre-blending performances, while Oguz brings raw, industrial-infused sounds for those wanting something harder. SNTS will take the crowd on a journey into the unknown, and Benwal will push the envelope with underground house beats that promise to ignite the crowd.
Aside from the lineup, 2025 sees Mysteryland pull out all of the stops as the festival experience is elevated to new, unchartered heights. Festival-goers can expect a new and improved festival layout designed to enhance every aspect of the experience. The Pyramid will be switched to the main stage, and the epicenter of the festival. The new layout will make it easier to explore all the stages, hidden performances, otherworldly installations and mysterious adventures.
Other thrilling developments include the introduction of an exciting resort experience on the festival grounds, surrounded by lush greenery, a sandy beach, and a serene lake for ultimate relaxation. With a campsite capacity of just under 1,000, spots are quite limited so don’t miss your chance to secure a spot!
Even better, the festival is committed to sustainability, powered almost entirely by locally generated green energy, and using innovative recycled materials in its décor, Mysteryland 2025 leads the charge in eco-friendly festival experiences. Secure your tickets HERE
