Claude VonStroke is done playing the industry game. After two decades building Dirtybird into one of the most recognizable brands in dance music, selling the company, and taking a well-earned break, he’s back—but this time, he’s calling the shots.
His Life of Leisure tour isn’t about flexing status or filling the biggest venues possible. It’s a carefully curated run of shows at places he actually wants to play, for people who actually want to be there. The idea is simple: a few hours of pure, no-pressure fun, soundtracked by VonStroke’s signature weird, groovy, bass-heavy style.
“This isn’t a status flex, it’s a vacation on the dancefloor,” VonStroke says. “The ravers are the heroes; I’m the guide. Let’s leave the stress behind and live the Life of Leisure together.”
The tour kicks off April 25 at the Knockdown Center in New York, coinciding with the release of his new EP, I Was the Wolf. From there, he’s hitting a mix of intimate clubs and festival stages, including stops at CODA in Toronto, It’ll Do in Dallas, Space in Miami, and festival appearances at Lightning in a Bottle, Movement Detroit, and Osheaga. There’s also a European leg brewing, with London and Berlin dates already confirmed.
It’s a fresh start, a new era, or whatever you want to call it—but at the end of the day, it’s really just Claude VonStroke doing what he does best: throwing parties that feel good.

ILLENIUM's Mexican destination festival, Ember Shores, has announced efforts to investigate and close the controversial dolphinarium present at its host venue, Barceló Riviera Maya.
The festival released a statement on social media this week following allegations of mistreatment and the recent deaths of two dolphins held in the facility. After investigating the matter internally, Ember Shores said the dolphinarium is not owned by Barceló Riviera Maya but rather by a third-party organization.
Organizers are now working closely with the resort to shut down the facility, which is the smallest dolphinarium in Mexico, according to local reports.
"We would like to acknowledge the concerns raised for the dolphin facility at Barceló Riviera Maya," Ember Shores organizers said on X. "After our initial investigation, we can confirm that the resort does not own the facility and that it is operated by a third-party organization. However, we are working closely with the resort to have the facility shut down, in alignment with our values and commitment to animal welfare."
Activists and animal welfare groups have denounced the facility after two dolphins, Alex and Pluto, died as a result of improper care in the last 12 months, The Yucatan Times reported. They were underscored by claims of inhumane conditions, citing inadequate space, poor environmental stimulation and psychological distress inflicted on the animals. The controversy has sparked protests across Mexico, Spain and the UK.
The Mexican Federal Environmental Protection Agency is now reportedly investigating the facility.

Seven years after his passing, Avicii‘s name is as relevant as ever. With multiple high-scale documentaries, and tributes, his music lives on through media. This time, past collaborator, Swedish choreographer Fredrik “Benke” Rydman is preparing an immersive, 360° Interactive Theater experience called Lonely Together. The play will feature music by the late artist.
Interactive Theater – Lonely Together
Rydman had previously collaborated with Avicii on a world tour, before the artist cancelled prior to his death. Nonetheless, the choreographer is gearing ups towards his own production honoring the DJ legend. The play, Lonely Together, will feature the late artist’s music in a 360° stage where according to its synopsis, the audience, ensemble, musicians, and dancers will all move freely around the space. The audience is free to move around the area to appreciate the production closer. However, more passive viewers can opt for traditional sitting for the production.
Lonely Together portrays the story of multiple individuals who share their deepest secrets with one another. They share the same pain, but also long for a brighter future together. The play features live renditions of Avicii’s timeless hits, letting his spirit live on through performative art.
Lonely Together premiers in Avicii’s hometown of Stockholm, Sweden on August 29th, 2025 at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. 
Avicii
The late Dance Music superstar saw an increase in music streams since a Netflix Documentary featured never-seen footage of the DJ before his passing. Within release, his music saw a 63.9% increase, amassing 37 million Spotify streams monthly. Although his music will forever live on, we can’t help but think of what the artist could’ve been, was he still present. Nevertheless, he will always be loved and remembered for his contribution to humanity through his craft.

About Solomun
Solomun plays a major role in redefining European house music with productions, remixes and DJing by taking the very building blocks of House and deftly reconstructing them with a modern twist. A respected underground DJ and producer for a number of years, his stratospheric rise in popularity kicked off in 2012. The same year Mixmag Magazine voted him as “DJ of the Year. 
His Ibiza success story began in 2013, when he inaugurated his infamous “Solomun+1”-residency at Pacha, which instantly became the island’s go-to event on Sunday nights. 2015 saw the commencement of his second residency concept: “Solomun+live” is an outdoor daytime event with nothing but live-acts as his special guests. Solomun loves working in the studio, but his passion for DJing and performing is obvious to anyone who has seen him play anywhere around the world. His infamous Boiler Room set from early 2015 is the fastest growing Boiler Room video of all time, with around 8 million views – and counting. He is not afraid of taking the audience on a journey. 
About his style, where vigour, deepness and emotion go hand in hand in a very musical way, Solomun once said: “People have emotions. So why not on a dancefloor?” Running two successful labels, (Diynamic, 2DIY4) or the Diynamic Radio show, which is broadcasted in about 30 countries – it is all connected with Solomun’s passion for music.

“Symphony,” EYNKA‘s newest release, is a trip through the stars that starts with whispered vows and ends with a euphoric release.
“Symphony” grows like a nebula in space. It starts with delicate, crystalline arpeggios that shine and pulse with mathematical accuracy. In the beginning, there is an effect of suspended animation, where time seems to both stretch and shorten at the same time. These first patterns aren’t just an introduction; they’re also an invocation that brings users into a world of enhanced sensory awareness.
The track’s ambient undercurrents create a huge soundscape, and ethereal voices that have been stretched and processed into otherworldly dimensions float through the arrangement like stardust. These vocal parts don’t just add to the production; they change it by adding emotional layers that connect the listener directly to something deep inside them.
Symphony
As “Symphony” goes on, its main idea slowly comes into focus, like a faraway planet that is mysterious at first but becomes clearer over time. This building structure shows how well EYNKA understands how to use narrative drama in electronic music. The song doesn’t just play; it emerges, slowly revealing its secrets while keeping a relentless forward motion.
The spatial feature that is talked about in the track’s description can be felt thanks to careful production methods. With purpose and accuracy, sounds move through the stereo field, giving the user a three-dimensional experience that wraps around and swallows them. If you close your eyes, you’ll feel like you’re not in a room or club, but in a huge cosmic arena where sound can be seen and feelings can be felt.
The track makes a rare connection between hearing with thought and moving your body. “Symphony” would create times of collective transcendence in a club setting, where hundreds of people would share a single emotional experience for a short time. In more private settings, it can be used as a way to think about oneself and deal with emotions.
EYNKA
The work of EYNKA shows that the UK electronic music scene is still producing innovative artists who push the limits while respecting the standards that came before them.

Following the success of his previous single “Pride,” the emerging London-based multi-instrumentalist, artist and producer Sherwøød returns in 2025 with a brand new track, “Dopamine.” This emotional blend of past and present soundscapes paves the way for a series of new national performances.
“Dopamine” explores Sherwøød’s disillusionment with the societal pressures of today, drawing influences from Hip Hop, Indie Electronica, and Alternative scenes. As his second single, it solidifies his position as one of the UK’s rising stars, following years of navigating the underground music scene.

Nadav, the enigmatic figure behind the music, merges melodic sounds with intricate narratives exploring the pressure to stay constantly online and appear successful. This second single serves as a precursor to his self-titled EP, set for release this year, which was crafted in collaboration with the renowned five-time gold record producer Joseph E-Shine.
Sherwøød Comments “Dopamine’ is a look at the cycle of resenting yourself for wasting time, which in turn only leads to further escapism and procrastination through the false reality of social media.”
Channelling the energy of artists like VITA, jai Paul, James Blake, Labrinth, and The Weeknd, Sherwood uses immersive artistry and passionate storytelling to bring forward a new wave of emotional expression and musical creativity. 

After a standout performance at London’s Camden Assembly last year, Sherwood is rapidly gaining momentum. Having been selected as a quarter-finalist from thousands of applicants to take part in The Isle of Wight Festival’s New Blood competition, his visibility continues to grow. Following his recent performance at The Hoxton Underbelly on February 21st, it is evident Sherwøød is quickly becoming a must-see emerging artist.
“Dopamine” will be available on all major digital platforms, paving the way for a series of exciting releases throughout the year, marking 2025 as a year of evolution for the young artist.

Goldie’s alter ego Rufige Kru (with SubMotive) has returned. Announced today, iconic breakbeat project Rufige Kru will release the brand new album ‘Alpha Omega’ on 16 May via London Records. Pre-order the album here. New single ‘Still The Same’ featuring CASISDEAD, taken from the forthcoming album, is out now.
The single (produced collaboratively by Goldie and SubMotive) features a guest appearance from peerless grime MC and UK rap artist CASISDEAD, after years of requests by his fans to rap over a DnB track. In fact, it is rare for CASISDEAD to feature on tracks with other artists – such is the significance of this collaboration and it is his first new material since his critically acclaimed 2023 album ‘Famous Last Words’ and being awarded Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act at the 2024 BRIT Awards.
The official video for ‘Still The Same’, directed by Elliott Gonzo, stars both Goldie as an AI overlord being hunted down by a vigilante CASISDEAD, set against the backdrop of a dystopian future.
Of the video to ‘Still The Same’, director Elliot Gonzo says: “It was a huge honour to collaborate with these legends in the game. The freedom and trust I was given meant I could really push the boundaries of what’s possible with new technology, combining animation and virtual production. A massive shout-out to my co-director, Buse Simon, for helping bring these new worlds to life.”
New album ‘Alpha Omega’ consists of twelve groundbreaking new tracks which bring together Goldie’s unerring dancefloor suss and the impeccable technical prowess of Submotive (real name James Davidson). It is Rufige Kru’s deepest outing so far – a reminder of exactly why drum’n’bass remains the most exhilarating, groundbreaking and electrifying music on the planet.
Of the new album, Goldie says: “It’s a reinvention. We’ve gone back to the source and extrapolated from there. I wanted to create something that absolutely represents what this music is all about … and where it’s going next.”
Full album tracklisting for Goldie presents: Rufige Kru – ‘Alpha Omega’ is as follows:

LCD Soundsystem are set to make their highly anticipated return to the UK this summer with a huge eight-night residency at London’s iconic O2 Academy Brixton. The run of shows will take place from Thursday 12th – Sunday 15th June and Thursday 19th – Sunday 22nd June 2025.
Renowned for their incredible live performances, the band played major UK festivals last year with a triumphant set at Glastonbury, as well as a powerful headline set at All Points East. Receiving rave reviews, critics praised their stand-out Glastonbury performance with Mojo Magazine stating, “James Murphy’s emotional disco transforms the Pyramid Stage” and The Times 5* feature added, “In the first truly great show of Glastonbury 2024, LCD Soundsystem provided the perfect wistful soundtrack for Friday’s golden hour.” 

In 2022 LCD Soundsystem completed a sold-out six-night residency at O2 Academy Brixton which was celebrated by The Telegraph as “A shuddering evening of electro-rock.” Heading back to the UK for eight-nights this June, the band are excited for this special series of shows at one of London’s most celebrated venues.
LCD Soundsystem emerged from New York City in July 2002 with James Murphy’s first recording as LCD and third release on his DFA label, “Losing My Edge.” Keyboardist/vocalist Nancy Whang and drummer Pat Mahoney were recruited for live shows as the band released singles including “Movement” and “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House,” which would appear on its eponymous 2005 debut LP. The band went on to release three critically acclaimed albums ‘Sound Of Silver’, ‘This Is Happening’ and the #1-charting, ‘American Dream’, which featured the Best Dance Recording GRAMMY-winning “Tonite.”
Currently working on a new album, LCD Soundsystem released their latest single “x-ray eyes”, in November last year, marking their first new music since 2022’s “New Body Rhumba,” which was featured in Noah Baumbach’s film, ‘White Noise’.
Tickets for the new dates go on general sale at 9:00am on Friday 7th March and will be available from aegp.uk/lcd-soundsystem.

In a dramatic turn of events at Berlin’s iconic Berghain nightclub, Danish DJ and producer Kasper Marott collapsed during his set, momentarily halting the club’s pulsating energy. The incident occurred during the early hours of February 15, 2025, as Marott was delivering one of his signature techno performances.
Eyewitnesses reported that Marott suddenly fell onto the mixer, causing the music to come to an abrupt stop. Club personnel swiftly attended to him, ensuring he received prompt medical attention. After a brief pause, Marott astonishingly regained his composure and chose to continue his set, much to the delight and relief of the crowd.
Addressing the incident on Instagram, Marott expressed gratitude for the professional handling by Berghain’s team and the support from fans. He attributed the fainting spell to exhaustion and dehydration, noting he “walked away with a new scar” but was otherwise unscathed. Marott also clarified that he has been sober his entire life, dispelling any rumors of substance use.
One fan wrote “See u coming back with a Towel on your head and finishing the set like nothing happened was the best thing of the night !! Respect and love to you.”
This event highlights the physical demands placed on performing artists and underscores the importance of self-care in the music industry. Marott’s quick recovery and commitment to his craft serve as an inspiration to both fans and fellow musicians.

Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke is taking flight on a comeback tour, officially ending a two-year hiatus that saw him sell his prized record label.
VonStroke flew the coop back in 2023, when he announced a break from the house music project to focus on his bass alias, Barclay Crenshaw. The influential DJ and producer, who spent over two decades cultivating the beloved Dirtybird ecosystem, is now set to hit the road with a new vision in late-April.
Rather than pursuing the typical relentless touring schedule that often leaves artists migrating from venue to venue without purpose, VonStroke's approach reflects a more intentional philosophy. Dubbed "Life of Leisure," the tour represents what he describes as "a vacation on the dancefloor," creating nest-like safe havens where fans can escape the anxieties of everyday life.
"This isn't a status flex, it’s a vacation on the dancefloor. The ravers are the heroes; I’m the guide," VonStroke said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "Let's leave the stress behind and live the 'Life of Leisure' together, even if it’s just for a few hours in the club."
Don Idio/DIVISUALS
VonStroke's "2.0 brand" will launch at a record release party at New York's Knockdown Center on April 25th before swooping into other hand-picked venues across North America. The tour will then perch at a number of his favorite venues and festivals, including Miami's Club Space, SoCal's Lightning in a Bottle and Detroit's iconic Movement.
For fans across the pond, VonStroke isn't leaving European audiences out in the cold. Special shows in electronic music hotspots London and Berlin are already confirmed, with more international dates set to hatch in the coming weeks.
The tour will ultimately coincide with the release of VonStroke's upcoming EP, I Was the Wolf, scheduled to drop April 25th. Fans can expect "the best elements of 2000s minimal house with the lush, quirky eccentricity only VonStroke can bring," per the press release.
Pre-sale tickets to "Life of Leisure" will be available Thursday, February 27th at 10am ET. The general on-sale will begin the following day at the same time.

When Wavejackers‘ “Where I Am” hit me for the first time, it made me feel deeply lost in the chaos of the city. The first notes of the song came in like a familiar whisper, cutting through the noise of everyday life with clear clarity. Its rhythmic structure, which was both sad and hopeful, made a safe place where time seemed to bend and stretch beyond what it normally does.
It’s not the technical perfection or new ways of making this piece that makes it stand out, though those things are there. Its magic comes from the way it expertly balances two very different emotions: recognizing evil while showing the way forward. Each swell of synthesizer sounds like a remembered loss, and each hit of percussion marks time not in beats per minute but in heartbeats, which are moments of life passing, changing, and transforming.
The structure of the story is what makes the piece strong. It starts with quiet, thoughtful tones that float in the emotional gray areas. Over time, it builds into detailed layers that show how complicated human feelings are. The bass frequencies give the experience a solid, physical base, while the ethereal pads give you an emotional lift, like flying above your problems to see something bigger.
The breakdown near the middle of the song is especially transformative; it’s a moment of complete weakness where everything is stripped away except the emotional core. I’ve had to face images and memories I’d been avoiding in this empty musical space, which was full of noise and other things that were distracting me.
In the end, this song tells us that emotional journeys don’t go from dark to light in a straight line, but instead are complicated spirals where we keep going back to the same places with new insights. It’s not about getting to a certain place that holds magic; it’s about becoming more present and accepting of where we are at any given time.
[Author’s note: This piece looks at how a certain piece of computer music makes people feel. The song “Where I Am” is the main focus of the article, but it gives room for readers to add their own musical experiences. This is done on purpose because our deepest connections to music often go beyond specific artists or songs.

Bonnaroo returns to the Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, TN from June 12-15 with a brand new Infinity Stage. The platform will feature a collection of dance and electronic acts from Big Gigantic, Mary Droppinz, Washed Out, Parisi, Blacklizt, and even Rebecca Black. Not to mention, the stage will also have a b2b set from Of the Trees and Tape B plus an artist takeover from John Summit’s Experts Only label. Additionally, check out the full lineup for the Infinity Stage below. It sounds like it’s going to be an exceptionally transformative experience for Bonnaroo newbies and veterans alike. Expect it to bring a Las Vegas Sphere comparable experience to the Midwest.
Now, the Infinity Stage is composed of three domes and is an open-air concept. It’s going to be known as “the world’s largest 360-degree spatial audio experience”, as Billboard puts it. Polygon Live is its producer, specializing in great immersive audio experiences from international festivals already. Once in Thailand and the other in Saudi Arabia. What’s more, festival director, Brad Parker, states the audio experience is challenging but its audio experience parallels what the Sphere brings to Las Vegas in video. At the Sphere, the brand drives how the visual experience goes. With the Infinity Stage, the audio drives the entire experience with its “surround sound on steroids”. Pretty neat!
We’re certainly excited to see the Polygon technology come to life here since previous use of the technology emphasized sounds in ways never heard before. From DJs, to Mongolian throat singing groups and meditation sound baths. Furthermore, stay tuned for the Infinity stage’s festival placement as Bonnaroo’s programming gets its turn. Lastly, attendees can look forward to other immersive entertainment and wellness experiences from the stage.
The magical world of music, fun, and friendship await you across the 700-acre farm. Purchase 4-day and single day passes here. For the full Bonnaroo lineup, view it below and get excited!

Bonnaroo may be turning 23 this year, but the debut of its groundbreaking Infinity Stage proves that the iconic festival is only getting bigger, better and more innovative with time.
The developers of the ambitious stage aim to redefine what it means to experience live music by virtue of an immersive 360° setup. Spatial sound dispersion and an array of synchronized lights will bring the stage to life along with three towering domes and an open-air design.
It's only fitting that a powerhouse lineup of performers is ushering in the stage and its cutting-edge audiovisual technology. The inaugural Infinity Stage lineup features Levity, Big Gigantic, Zingara and ZHU's techno alias, Blacklizt. Other highlights include a takeover by John Summit's Experts Only label and a rare b2b set from Of The Trees and Tape B, who were named to EDM.com's Class of 2024 and Class of 2025, respectively.
The Infinity Stage, which is expected to be one of the world's largest 360° stages, will be located in Bonnaroo's vibrant Centeroo hub alongside its six other stage structures. Elsewhere on the Farm, performances by Justice, Tipper, LSZEE, Dom Dolla and many more will keep Bonnaroovians dancing throughout the weekend.
Check out the full Infinity Stage lineup below. Tickets for Bonnaroo 2025 are available here.

Reinier Zonneveld and Dea Magna aren’t here to waste time. Their new track “Tokyo” is built for one thing: full-throttle, no-breaks, peak-time techno. Out now on Filth on Acid, the track throws down hard kicks, screeching synths, and a hypnotic vocal loop that does exactly what you want it to—pulls you deeper into the rave.
Zonneveld, a master of precision-engineered club weapons, locks in the kind of rolling, relentless groove that’s made him a festival staple. Dea Magna adds her signature high-speed energy, layering in a commanding vocal hook: “If you wanna lose control, come with me to Tokyo.” It’s an open invitation to chaos, and the track makes good on the promise.
The arrangement is as straightforward as it is effective. Big drums, trancy lead lines, and enough tension-and-release to keep the energy spiking. No fluff, no unnecessary breakdowns—just a direct shot to the bloodstream of the dancefloor.
Both artists have been making serious moves—Zonneveld running marathon sets and dominating the underground, while Dea Magna racks up millions of streams and festival sets across the US and Europe. “Tokyo” is a natural fit for both, and it’s already getting love on SLAM! radio and dancefloors worldwide.

Audrey Nuna has unveiled a remix bundle for her single “Mine,” featuring two distinct, dancefloor-ready versions. Released via Arista Records, the remixes see Audrey collaborating with DASH to reimagine her 2024 track, which itself is a modern take on Brandy and Monica’s 1998 R&B classic, “The Boy Is Mine.”
In the DASH remix, the song ventures into darker, trance-heavy territory. Audrey’s vocals are transformed into an otherworldly experience, layered over deep basslines and shadowy textures. Audrey expressed her excitement about this new interpretation, stating, “Hearing ‘Mine’ within such a different sonic palette with DASH’s surreal, dark remix has been energizing. The remix brings such newness to the song, and it’s been a fascinating experience for me to hear the process of it coming to life.”
This release follows Audrey Nuna’s sophomore album, “TRENCH,” an ambitious project that blends elements of pop, R&B, and experimental trap. As for DASH, the enigmatic producer remains shrouded in mystery, with rumors ranging from being an algorithm to a collective of behind-the-scenes producers. Regardless of the identity, the “Mine” remix showcases a unique manipulation of sound that challenges conventional boundaries.

Stockholm-based producer and 8181 Enzo is releasing “Force,” a track that reflects his refined approach to electronic music. Featuring vocals from Michael Ekow, the song was first recorded in Amsterdam a year ago and has since gone through several revisions, with a final version completed just last week.
Built around a dynamic arrangement, “Force” balances crisp production with Ekow’s vocals, creating a track that feels both polished and energetic. The song leans into a mix of atmospheric builds and punchy drops, a style Enzo has honed over the years.
Though he’s previously worked on tracks like Swedish House Mafia’s “Time” and Otto Knows’ “Lover,” “Force” marks a project that feels more personal to him. The name change from Dice of Nights to Enzo 8181 signals that shift, but the focus remains on the music. With more releases on the way, “Force” is a clear statement of where his sound is headed.
