Ibiza Summer News: Major Residency Announcements for 2025

The countdown to Ibiza’s 2025 season is on, and some of the island’s biggest clubs have started revealing their highly anticipated residencies. With legendary names returning and fresh concepts taking over, this summer is set to be one for the books.


Carl Cox Returns to Ibiza with UNVRS Residency
House and Techno pioneer Carl Cox is making his grand return to the White Isle with a three-month residency at the brand-new UNVRS Superclub (formerly Privilege). Running from June 22nd to September 21st, Cox’s Sundays at UNVRS mark his first Ibiza residency since his iconic reign at Space nearly a decade ago. Fans can expect an electrifying fusion of classic Carl Cox energy, cutting-edge production, and an unbeatable atmosphere as he takes over the newly revamped venue.


Fisher Secures Thursday Residency at UNVRS
Joining Cox in the residency lineup, Fisher is set to take control of Thursdays at UNVRS, bringing his signature high-energy sound and chart-topping Tech House anthems. Known for his infectious stage presence and party-starting selections, Fisher’s weekly shows promise a vibrant mix of heavy basslines, euphoric drops, and non-stop dancefloor action.
 
The club’s Saturday spot goes to Elrow, who will be hosting an immersive techno and tech house experience. The show is set to be extraordinary, following four themes across the residency that centre around technological innovation.
UNVRS are also yet to reveal whether they will be hosting a Friday resident, however there is plenty of speculation online!


Joseph Capriati Brings ‘Metamorfosi’ to Hï Ibiza on Fridays
Meanwhile, over at Hï Ibiza, Techno heavyweight Joseph Capriati has been confirmed as the club’s Friday night resident, featuring his immersive Metamorfosi show. The concept, inspired by the transformation of a butterfly, blends elements of nature and futurism, symbolising evolution, growth, and artistic development. Expect stunning custom production, mesmerising audio-visual experiences, and a dynamic lineup of guests carefully curated to take clubbers on a deep, hypnotic journey each week.


Paradise has moved to London! 
Jamie Jones has partnered with LWE to host ‘Paradise in the City’ in Boston Manor Park, London this August.  ‘Paradise’ event has been a staple in Ibiza’s nightlife since its inception in 2012, initially hosted at DC10 for eight seasons. Since it relocated to Amnesia in 2022, it has been one of the hottest events on the island, however ‘Paradise’ are yet to confirm whether they will be hosting shows on the island this year. 

With these heavy-hitters locked in and more announcements on the way, Ibiza’s 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. Stay tuned for more updates!

Horst Arts & Music Festival Releases Full 2025 line-up, With Four Tet, DVS1, Helena Hauff and Job Jobse

Horst Arts & Music Festival is gearing up for its 11th edition at Asiat Park, Vilvoorde in Belgium, announcing the full line-up for the festival’s 11th year on February 4. On 1, 2 and 3 May, the festival will open its doors to festival-goers in search of the hidden depths of electronic music culture, with no fewer than 115 unique artists on the bill.
  
Unseen new and older
The most striking name on the roster of Horst Arts & Music 2025 is undoubtedly the already cryptically announced Four Tet. The man of a thousand alter egos is coming to Vilvoorde on Thursday May 1 for an exclusive Belgian show. ‘Horst has always started from a broad spectrum of variations on house and techno, but also laced with all things bass & breaks. Four Tet is someone who honours those traditions, and includes 10 more within the blink of an eye. That’s when you know it will work at Horst,’ says Simon Nowak, music programmer for Horst Arts & Music.

Beyond the headliner status, Horst is once again recalibrating its musical antennae, feeding the line-up with international trendsetters. ‘In an environment where everything has to be harder, faster and instagrammable, we resolutely, more than ever, want to bring challenging, content-rich music back to the forefront – we believe Horst audiences like to be challenged. The line-up is more than ever a combination of cutting-edge producers, musicians and innovative DJs.’ That means 2025 will look at the sounds of club culture that reign supreme on a global level, but still too often slip under the radar closer to home. Acts like Makadsi highlight what a crossover can sound like between Arab and North American music culture, BADSISTA and Verraco show what South American countries like Brazil and Colombia have to offer, and gyrofield inventively tackles electronic IDM heritage from Hong Kong.
And that’s by no means all. DVS1 curates the new Horst stage on Friday, bringing along veteran dub techno collective Generations in Sync (DJ Pete, Erik Jabari, Moritz von Oswald), while Horst regular Job Jobse returns to Vilvoorde to provide the sunset with a fitting soundtrack. Furthermore, Horst once again includes a string of unreleased back-to-backs on the programme, including electro house legend Erol Alkan who joins forces with Palms Trax, Polygonia and Steffi, iconic London duo Hannah Holland and Josh CaffĂ©, longtime Horst resident AliA and rising star Mia Koden, while Detroit legend DJ Stingray 313 and German electro powerhouse Helena Hauff unite their cold and warmer tunes on the dance floor.
In addition, American DJ Zak Khutoretsky – aka DVS1 – is collaborating with star architect and friend of the festival Leopold Banchini on a revolutionary project that will be unveiled later in the run-up to the festival.

A new chapter, a new territory
With Horst Arts & Music’s 10th anniversary behind us, the organisation is entering new territory. Something you can take quite literally. Where plans were on the table to cross over to the Darse site across the water in 2025, the ambition had to simmer a little longer. Additional challenges around the licensing framework and preparation of the site did not allow it to welcome Horst visitors. Regarding this change of course, Horst Arts & Music posted this statement on their channels.
‘With the temporary suspension of the bridge, we were forced to look creatively at our current space. And the necessary questions that come with redirecting your course. In what way do we want to grow as a festival? It always led us back to a sustainable and step-by-step growth, to not trip during the process,’ says Jochem Daelman, organiser of Horst Arts & Music. ‘When it became clear that the bridge would not be there this year, we didn’t sit back. Doing the same thing twice is not in our DNA. So we started looking for another place that could naturally enrich Horst’s landscape. And that’s what we eventually found, closer than we could ever dream of. ‘The search has become the theme of this edition: challenges that offer opportunities. What that will look like, is for the visitors to discover.’

(Inter)national Collaborations
In customary Horst fashion, space will once again be etched out for a series of in-depth (international) collaborations with the likes of Kiosk Radio, who will once again host Moon Ra together with The Lot Radio – the New York-based project of Belgian François Vaxelaire. The intimate hut will be the setting for the live-streamed sets of a wide range of exciting local acts such as Erykah, Otis, Elisethere and Emily Jeanne as well as international heavyweights. Nightlife platform Resident Advisor joins once again. They are taking care of this year’s Vesshcell, which will have a new look for the occasion and transforms itself from a hub for iconic pop edits to a discovery sanctuary for (live) niche acts from the undercurrent with Mark Knekelhuis and Parris Smith’s project, Volition Immanent, among others. As usual, FOR ALL QUEENS! also returns, this year with a 7-hour performance at the infamous Soleil Rouge.
Details of the arts and architecture programme will be revealed in the coming weeks. Further info and remaining tickets are available via www.horstartsandmusic.com.

Miami Police Officer Arrested After Attempting to Smuggle MDMA Aboard Groove Cruise Festival

As festival-goers prepared to set sail for Groove Cruise in late-January, authorities arrested a Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Deputy for allegedly possessing, selling and trafficking drugs, WSVN 7News reports.
Law enforcement officials say they learned Francisco Melo had plans to distribute MDMA during the four-day festival aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas. According to an arrest warrant, investigators used a confidential informant to purchase MDMA from Melo prior to his arrest. 
The undercover officer revealed that Melo intended to bring his illicit inventory onto the ship in a Skittles packet, disguising the drugs as candy to evade detection. Detectives reportedly arrested him at PortMiami, where they discovered 60 MDMA pills in his luggage.
Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz condemned Melo’s actions.
"Narcotics don’t just harm those who use them, they devastate families, and fuel crime," Cordero-Stutz said in a statement. "The actions of this individual are a betrayal of the public trust and of all the deputies who work tirelessly to protect our community."
Groove Cruise, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, has become a staple of the electronic dance music festival scene. The event's 2025 edition took place January 23-27 and featured headlining performances by Eric Prydz, Seven Lions, James Hype, MEDUZA and Nicole Moudaber.

Here Are the Dance Music GRAMMY Winners

Yesterday Music’s biggest night returned. After a rough first month of the year in Los Angeles due to multiple wildfires, the Academy pushed through without rescheduling the GRAMMY Awards Ceremony. Furthermore, multiple mainstream artists and EDM icons alike, hosted multiple fundraisers and wildfire relief events. The show was filled with incredible performances, while honoring the artists that gave us magical sounds all throughout 2024. The Crypto Arena in Los Angeles gave us tons of highlights, including this year’s best electronic dance music artists. Here are the winners:
GRAMMYs 2025 EDM Winners
This year, Best Dance/Electronic Recording went to none other than Justice and Tame Impala with their track ‘Neverender‘. This marks a glorious return to the French Duo, including their latest album Hyperdrama. Sometimes taking an 8 year hiatus from producing full LPs pays off. Nominees for this category included Disclosure, Fred Again.., Zedd, and KAYTRANADA.
Things got spicier with Charli xcx winning Best Dance/Electronic Album with her album BRAT. The “365 partygirl” had us jamming to her music, including appeareances of Troye Sivan on Tour, a phenomenal Boilerroom set, and “Brat Summer” itself. This category included Zedd’s Telos, Four Tet’s Three , KAYTRANADA’s TIMELESS , and Justice’s Hyperdrama. Charli also took home Best Dance Pop Recording for her track ‘Von dutch’.
Even though there are only few categories that honor dance music, we love them all. This year’s Best Remixed Recording went to Mark Ronson and FNZ for their Working Late Remix of Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’. The vocalist also took home Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet.
We definitely feel this year’s winners weren’t as shocking as Beyonce winning dance album of the year with Renaissance. Especially, since Charli has been in the rave scene since she was younger, and has tons of production credit. What do you think? Did your favorite win?

Militant Music Talk Aerbreak’s New Album

As another year of underground sounds have begun, we have an album release that will be sure to make waves in the jungle and hardcore world. Grassroots label Militant Music have been curating releases and organising events for over 3 years, with a back catalogue of projects to show including progressive EP and single releases within jungle and drum & bass, as well as providing some of London’s most authentic raving experiences. 
The wider scene wouldn’t be where it is today without the likes of Militant Music putting in tiresome work with an array of local artists and venues. With releases from talented up-and-coming artists such as the likes of Glinks, Seretonin, Worsley, and Greedy G over the years, the label side of the brand holds an abundance of innovative tracks that are heavy-hitters within the jungle community. Incoming is a hotly anticipated album ‘Not Your Average Station’ by rising producer Aerbreak who is also one of Militant’s main resident DJs. With euphoric and hard-hitting tracks such as ‘Gravity Trap’ featuring Tom Oakley, ‘System Overload, and ‘Not Your Average Station, this album will undeniably teleport old school ravers back to the 90s, whilst also introducing this gleeful sound to a new generation of hardcore junglists. This well thought out project takes you on a video game-like adventure, a futuristic, yet compelling piece of artistry that holds no boundaries within the high-tempo world of hardcore and jungle. There is no doubt that this 12-track album will be played out in raves up-and-down the country throughout 2025. 
We caught up with Krash Dubz, head honcho of Militant Music to find out more about this unique underground platform dedicated to showcasing the most authentic high tempo sounds in London. Whilst also getting a word from Aerbreak himself on the intricacies of putting together his first album. 
Let’s go back to the beginning. Talk to me about how Militant started?
Krash Dubz: It started as a label in 2021. But it was initially an idea that I had for a music journalism platform going back to 2018, way before we were making any music. I focused on hip-hop events. I’ve always loved hip-hop since I was a kid. Hip-hop, jungle, and drum & bass had so many crossovers in my mind, I wanted to use Militant Music as a way to explore that fusion more in rave music. The first lockdown during covid was when I started to get the ball rolling in that sense. It’s quite hard to carry out feeling and personality in music without drawing inspiration from a lot of different styles of music. That’s what we aim for with Militant Music releases.
Why the name Militant Music?
Krash Dubz: The name goes back to my dads Armenian heritage. My dads family emigrated as Armenian genocide survivors and they had to be very militant in the way they persevered to escape to make new lives for themselves across Europe. This embodies this because I feel our music is hard-hitting whilst we try to carry the feeling and personality throughout the raves we put on.
Stand out projects?
Krash Dubz: The stand out past projects to date have to include the ‘Militant Minds’ which was a very special project to me. It brought a lot of artists together. Encouraging a more open conversation about our mental health. Also, something that was quintessentially Militant Music is the ‘Militant Tape’. This was exactly the direction I wanted to go in with the label right from the start. That would’ve been nowhere without Glinks, who’s an absolute visionary. When I first discovered him he was sampling memphis rap in his jungle tracks. It was a given from then we could make this amazing fusion project. We had to put this on cassette tapes as it was the right thing to do for the culture. I felt it stayed true to the sound this way. 
How did you get to a place where making an album with Aerbreak was on the cards?
Krash Dubz: We’d never met in person up until 2024. We’d been exclusively chatting online for about two years. We’d done a lot of singles together. We got to the point where Aerbreak had a recognisable sound. People were feeling his sound through our Militant projects. As soon as we met, we got brainstorming. His music encapsulates the golden age of hardcore and rave euphoria. He puts this modern, sci-fi twist to it. He brings a lot to the Militant blueprint. His sublime and versatile production within the genre is inspiring and has the power to inspire a lot of people. This album will give us the chance to showcase that. This is undoubtedly going to be a special project and we hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do. 
I’d love to get some insight into this truly authentic album. What was the process like to make it?
Aerbreak: I wanted to create a world listeners could get absorbed in – and hardcore, drum & bass, and jungle tend to lend themselves really well as a medium for that. The whole process has been a blast. I’ve tried to fuse a lot of my influences – from late 80s acid house to early-to-mid 90s breakbeat hardcore – with a nostalgic, euphoric, video game-esque feel. You’ll hopefully be able to feel essences of artists like The Prodigy & Altern-8, as well as many of the other pioneers of the era, but with a respectful new twist. At the time the project began, I wasn’t hearing much in the way of 91-94 hardcore in the scenes I was involved in – it was more modern breakbeat and jungle – and I wanted to bring light to these euphoric old school sounds that undoubtedly have a place in our scene today. I hope this inspires other people to try their hand at making some hardcore themselves! In regards to collaborations on this, I got my friend and talented producer Tom Oakley on one of the tracks ‘Gravity Trap’. Tom captures the classic UK rave sound so well, and his production just keeps on getting better. We’d been talking for a while about making a tune, and the idea came together so smoothly and really quickly! It’s had a wicked reception so far, so I’m looking forward to including it in the album.
I’d love to know what some highlights for the events brand have been over the years.
Krash Dubz: The first one would be an event we played called Off Grid presents: Momentum. In the summer of 2023 we travelled alongside the Da Demolition Squad to Kaunas in Lithuania where we converted a go kart racing track into a rave. We put on the biggest showcase of UK rave music in the city. We’ll remember that forever as one of the craziest parties to date. You can’t really do these types of events here in the UK. Secondly, our recent sell out halloween show in collaboration with Jungyals and Gays at Venue MOT. That was probably our first big collaboration event we’ve done with another brand. There was so much variety of artists, a real family affair. Lastly, meeting everyone we’ve welcomed in as family, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our residents. The dedicated team that pushes the boundaries. Big shout outs to our team Glinks, 50Cal, IXN, Sleazebag, Aerbreak, Arfboy, Seretonin, Deselecta, Greedy G, Mina, Kippo, and Defekt. 
Do you have the tea on any future projects?
Krash Dubz: There’s one we’ve been brainstorming that’ll be based around a funky breakbeat project with Greedy G and Aerbreak on production. It’ll start off with hip hop and make its way through 120 bpm breakbeat and follow through into faster sounds such as jungle and drum & bass. Fusing these two artists together will no doubt create a wicked album that we can expect towards the end of the year. We have a couple other EPs we want to drop this year too. We’re going to be dropping a dark side drum & bass project with an amazing producer called Blah. We’ll also be working on an EP with Seretonin as well. He’s one of the most talented jungle producers around. 
Do you have any future goals you’d love to achieve?
Krash Dubz: The scene is way more of a community than it used to be. More and more collaborations with brands would be ideal to grow that even further. That’s how we’ll lift each other up. We’d love the opportunity to play more festivals and also go abroad doing more Militant takeovers. 
What are some platforms and brands doing great stuff for the community?
Krash Dubz: One that’s really important to mention who’s enabling so many more artists to be discovered is Killahertz. There’s no other live stream around that showcases such a wide range of truly underground DJs and artists. It’s so important and you can discover so much talent as a result. All of the Jungyals and Gays crew and NRG CRU. All doing great things for our community.  I could mention so many others, but these platforms really fit with our ethos.

MEDUZA Announce New Live Show to "Reinvent the DJ Performance Experience"

MEDUZA are breaking new ground with Meduza³, a new live production they say is designed to "reinvent the DJ performance experience."
The electronic music trio today announced the bespoke live music concept, in which all three members—Mattia Vitale, Simone Giani and Luca de Gregorio—will perform together. Until now, MEDUZA's live appearances have typically featured only Vitale behind the decks while the trio collaborated behind the scenes on music production.
Described on the group's social media as an "electrifying hybrid live concept," Meduza³ marks a significant evolution for the Italian hitmakers, known for chart-topping tracks like "Piece of Your Heart." While details remain under wraps at this time of this writing, MEDUZA said the project will debut at "a selection of exclusive venues" in 2025, hinting at a curated rollout that emphasizes intimacy.
MEDUZA's pivot to a fully collaborative stage presence comes amid growing demand for more engaging, multi-dimensional live electronic performances. The group's development of Meduza³ also feels like a natural extension of their ongoing campaign against excessive smartphone usage on dancefloors, launched alongside James Hype. By creating a more immersive and dynamic live experience, the trio encourages audiences to be fully present, shifting focus from screens to the shared energy and connection of the performance itself.
You can watch a teaser of the Meduza³ production below.

Alesso Opens Up About Tinnitus and Tour Cancellations: "I Took This as a Sign to Slow Down"

Alesso has opened up about his ongoing health challenges, which recently led to his first cancellation of performances in 14 years of touring.
The Swedish dance music superstar, whose real name is Alessandro Lindblad, shared a candid video on his social media to address his absence and lack of social media presence, citing a severe case of tinnitus. The chronic condition, which can result from ear damage or exposure to loud noises, is characterized by the perception of ringing or other sounds in the ears without an external source.
"I woke up with the loudest ringing in my ears," Lindblad said, describing the pain as a 10 out of 10. "I was in complete shock. It was not after a show. I just woke up, and it was so intense."
Although he had previously experienced mild tinnitus, nothing compared to the intensity of this episode. "I know it's super common in the music industry," he said, acknowledging the widespread nature of hearing issues among music producers, "but yeah, I had a really, really difficult time dealing with this."
Alesso performing at the Brooklyn Mirage on February 3rd, 2024.Kelly Knisel/EDM.com
The experience led the influential "Heroes" producer to take a step back from his relentless touring schedule, which in 2024 included performances in Belgium, Greece, France, Iceland, Saudi Arabia and the United States, among other countries.
"I've been doing this for 14 years now, and I've never taken a break," Lindblad lamented. "So I just took this as a sign to slow down, to prioritize my health and be more careful."
Looking forward, he expressed optimism about his upcoming shows, including a highly anticipated appearance at Miami's Ultra Music Festival. However, he confirmed that his touring pace would be more measured, with fewer shows in the immediate future.
"I will be doing shows, but maybe not as many," he explained.
In his message to fans, Lindblad also emphasized the importance of health and safety, urging fellow musicians and concertgoers alike to take precautions. "We're only humans," he reminded them, advising the use of ear protection to avoid the risks of hearing damage.

Above & Beyond Present New Mix Compilation, Anjunachill 01

Anjunachill (former label Anjunadeep Reflections) announced the launch of a new compilation series titled Anjunachill 01 (Mixed by Above & Beyond). It will be available on March 3, 2025, and be accompanied by a six-track limited-run vinyl sampler. 
The Anjuna family of labels has a long history in the chillout genre. It’s a journey that took a pivotal turn with Above & Beyond at Burning Man in 2014. Following a spontaneous sunset yoga set on the iconic Robot Heart stage, this transformative experience sparked the creation of their dedicated yoga and meditation album, Flow State. 
Following the success of Flow State, in 2020, the first EP in a new chillout series, Reflections Vol. 1, was released on Anjunadeep. This was a defining moment in establishing a dedicated home for Anjuna’s chillout sounds. Officially launched in May 2022 as Reflections, the label flourished as a standalone space for ambient and downtempo music. The Anjunadeep and Anjunabeats back catalogs are also full of chill-out classics from Above & Beyond albums. These include their debut LP title track ‘Tri-State’ and ‘Sun In Your Eyes’ to much-loved fan-favorite moments from Andrew Bayer, Cubicolor, and Croquet Club, to the RIAA-certified Gold single ‘Don’t Leave’ from Flow State in 2019.
Having mixed the first installment of the Anjunadeep compilation series and every Anjunabeats Volume these past two decades, Above & Beyond now present the inaugural mix in this new series with Anjunachill 01. Curated and mixed by Above & Beyond, the Anjunachill 01 compilation opens with the group’s latest ambient track, ‘Shall We Begin’. Released in January 2025, it marks the relaunch of the label (formerly known as Reflections) and kicks off the celebrations of 25 years of Anjuna. The mix also features music from beloved Anjuna artists. These include Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, Dusky, Leaving Laurel, Yotto, and Croquet Club. Additionally, it includes recent standout releases from Anjunachill like Cephas Azariah’s ‘Joy Paradox’ and an exclusive remix from prolific neoclassical composer Peter Sandberg of a track lifted from Mark Barrott’s recent LP Everything Changes, Nothing Ends.
In addition to celebrating its history, ‘Anjunachill 01’ also introduces unreleased music from artists who are new to the label. Highlights include tracks from Planet of Souls, the downtempo alias of producer Paul Rogers (known for his work with N.E.R.D., Gorillaz, and Pete Tong) and sound design expert Tom Barlow. It also features new music from Anjunabeats favorite PROFF, Redkat (Riccardo Derio of Alex Sonata & The Rio), and Ad Harmonium, a South African composer duo consisting of one half of the electronic outfit Archaellum and felthabit.
Combined with timeless gems, ‘Anjunachill 01’ celebrates the label’s rich heritage. The compilation also looks ahead to the next generation of artists shaping its future in 2025 and beyond.
Anjunachill 01 (Mixed by Above & Beyond) is available on March 3, 2025 on Anjunachill. Presave the compilation by clicking here.

David Hohme And Jackarta ‘Use The Force’ In New Striking Collaboration

Kick off your weeks with some top-notch melodies, courtesy of masters at work.
A truly beautiful song is a rare feat in today’s Dance music industry. Powerful songs come and go by the hundreds, groovy ones too, but songs which feel like a checkpoint in the middle of a long road, those are tracks that stay by your side for quite a longer while. Such is the case of David Hohme and Jackarta‘s latest track, ‘Use The Force‘.
For close to 15 years, Hohme first carved a space for himself in the industry, to then lead the softer, more intimate vibes he’s a master of: Organic and Melodic House. Widely known for his Soft Landing EP signed to Anjunadeep, he’s the proud label boss of Where The Heart Is, an imprint completely built upon quality music, and songs with a soul. WTHI is the perfect home for this new record.
‘Use The Force’
David’s latest track is not a solo work: it is the result of three minds thinking forward in a common direction. He joined forces with duo Jackarta to deliver one special piece. ‘Use The Force‘, a not-so-subtle nod to those who love a certain movie based in outer space, is the first single lifted from David Hohme’s upcoming artist album.
This song has a special sound in my ears. It’s got the fragility of an Organic House tune, but its delicate essence lays over a bed of more energetic rhythms and percussion, much like a Progressive Trance arrangement to me. The balance between both is surprisingly beautiful, with old-school, warped pads, as well as silky piano lines, some raspy leads and sawtooth basslines, and a minimalistic approach to number of elements where every signal plays a special role and is a star in its own.
I frankly hadn’t heard something this special in a while. I’ve never really been a fan of hybrid stuff — the purist in me always cries for consequence and concordance —, but this specific hybrid stuff that is ‘Use The Force’ doesn’t feel like equal parts water and oil: it sounds like it was always meant to be this way. And that’s a very cool thought to decant to when playing a song.

Alesso Breaks Silence on Health Struggles: What Happened?

Alesso, a Swedish DJ and producer, has taken a rare step back to share his personal health challenges. Renowned for energizing throngs at events like Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland, Alesso recently uploaded a moving video on Instagram explaining why he has been away from social media and canceling events for the previous two months. The culprit? A sudden, debilitating case of severe tinnitus—a condition all too familiar in the music industry but rarely discussed so openly.
What happened Alesso?
Alesso woke up two months earlier and found what he characterized as “the loudest ringing” in his ears—a piercing noise rated ten out of ten in intensity. Unlike usual examples of temporary hearing discomfort following loud concerts or events, this incident struck without notice and had no bearing on any past performance.
“I woke up, and it was so strong,” Alesso said in the Instagram video. Although he admitted to having slight tinnitus in the past, this occurrence was unprecedented in degree. The effect must have been catastrophic for someone whose work revolves around sound.
What Is Tinnitus?
When Alesso described waking up to “the loudest ringing” in his ears, he was referring to tinnitus—a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. But what exactly is tinnitus, and why does it have such a profound impact on those who experience it?
When there is no outside noise, tinnitus—the sensation of ringing in the ears—results. Usually connected to hearing loss, ear damage, or circulatory system problems, it is a sign of an underlying condition rather than a sickness per such. The sounds connected with tinnitus differ greatly; some say they are a high-pitched whine, a constant hum, or even a rhythmic throbbing matched with their heartbeat.
Tinnitus affects musicians disproportionately since they spend much time in loud surroundings. Whether they are practicing in studios, playing on stage, or going to events, the decibel levels they routinely come across surpass reasonable limits (usually about 85 dB).

How to avoid tinnitus?
Wearing earplugs during high-decibel music events is one of the easiest yet most powerful ways to preserve your hearing—and maybe avoid illnesses like tinnitus. Over time, exposure to sound levels beyond 85 decibels can cause irreversible damage regardless of your position—that of an artist on stage or a fan enjoying the act.
Earplugs are about preserving the experience, not about diminishing it. High-fidelity earplugs let you safely enjoy the music by lowering the volume without compromising sound quality. Custom-molded earplugs provide musicians with specifically designed protection, therefore guaranteeing comfort and clarity throughout performances.

Claptone Reimagines Chicane’s ‘Saltwater’ to Launch its 25th Anniversary Remix Series

Solidifying his reputation as a production mastermind, Claptone unveils a phenomenal house flip of Chicane’s ‘Saltwater’. In celebration of the track’s 25th anniversary, the German DJ and producer transforms Chicane’s biggest hit into an intoxicating, club-ready take on the trance classic. It sets the stage for a yearlong series of diverse, genre-blending remixes.

Released in 1999, Chicane’s ‘Saltwater’ is hailed as one of the most defining tracks of the late ‘90s trance scene. It is built around a haunting vocal sample from Clannad’s ‘Theme from Harry’s Game’. The track blends ethereal Celtic elements with euphoric synths and driving rhythms for a captivating sonic soundscape. ‘Saltwater’ achieved global success, charting across Europe and becoming an Ibiza anthem. It also cemented Chicane’s reputation as a pioneer of atmospheric electronic music. The track has since left an enduring legacy. It influenced the next generation of producers and serving as a timeless reminder of the emotive power of trance music.

Claptone now breathes new life into the beloved classic. It underscores his unparalleled talent for reimagining timeless records across genres. Infused with his signature groove, the house aficionado’s remix retains the haunting beauty of the iconic trance anthem while weaving in crisp percussion, Balearic undertones and a deep, rolling bassline, creating a fresh yet nostalgic interpretation that serves as a testament to the track’s ability to stand the test of time.

‘Saltwater’ is out today via Armada Music.

KSHMR Hints at The Cataracs Reunion—Is He Going Back to His Roots?

KSHMR has sent fans into a frenzy with a cryptic Instagram story urging them to follow The Cataracs, adding, “Because you never know, something might be coming.” The teaser has sparked speculation about a potential reunion or collaboration, raising the question: Is KSHMR returning to where it all began?
The Cataracs: Where It All Started
Before he became one of the most recognized names in EDM, KSHMR, born Niles Hollowell-Dhar, was one-half of The Cataracs, a California-based duo he formed with David Singer-Vine in 2003. The two met in high school and quickly gained recognition with their fusion of electronic, hip-hop, and pop sounds.
The Cataracs found mainstream success with “Like a G6,” a global hit in collaboration with Far East Movement and Dev, as well as “Bass Down Low,” which further cemented their status in the pop-electronic scene. Their production prowess extended beyond their own music, crafting beats for artists like Snoop Dogg and Selena Gomez. However, in 2012, Singer-Vine left the duo, leaving Hollowell-Dhar to continue the project solo.
The Birth of KSHMR: A New Era
In 2014, Hollowell-Dhar made the bold decision to step away from The Cataracs and reinvent himself as KSHMR, diving deep into the world of big room and electro house. His debut tracks like “Megalodon” and “Karate” showcased a harder, festival-ready sound, marking a stark departure from the radio-friendly beats of The Cataracs.
As KSHMR, he quickly became a respected figure in the dance music industry, known for his cinematic compositions, Indian-inspired melodies, and high-energy festival anthems. Collaborations with TiĂ«sto (“Secrets”) and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (“Opa”) solidified his reputation as a powerhouse producer.
Could a Reunion Be on the Horizon?
With KSHMR’s Instagram tease, longtime fans are now wondering if he’s looking to revisit his roots. The Cataracs’ official pages have been largely inactive in recent years, making this sudden call to action even more intriguing. Could we see a revival of their signature sound? Or is this a fresh take on their past collaborations with a modern twist?
While no official details have been revealed, the mere suggestion of new activity around The Cataracs is enough to get fans excited. Whether it’s a full-fledged reunion, a special project, or simply a nostalgic nod to his past, KSHMR has certainly set the rumor mill spinning.
One thing is for sure—something is coming. And if history is any indication, it’s bound to be big! Follow us and we keep a close eye on developments to come!

RESISTANCE Announces Return to Ibiza Touching Down at Amenesia in 2025

Heralded as the world’s most international house and techno festival brand, ULTRA Worldwide’s esteemed underground series RESISTANCE stands at the forefront of innovation in the global underground music scene, bringing its visionary programming to more than 35 cities across all six inhabited continents—spanning stadium stages, international tours, and award-winning residencies.
Now, RESISTANCE announces its triumphant return to the White Isle this summer for RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025, reclaiming its status as a defining force in Ibiza nightlife with a nine-week residency at the world-famous Amnesia Ibiza, which remains as a haven for those who seek authentic clubbing.
Running every Wednesday from July 23 through September 17, 2025, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will be anchored by Season Residents Adam Beyer and ARTBAT, who will deliver weekly headlining performances, rotating between Amnesia’s immersive Main Room and emblematic sky-roof Terrace—ensuring each night stands as its own distinct sonic voyage. Both Adam Beyer and ARTBAT have become fixtures across RESISTANCE’s international stages; headlining events in far-flung cities like Seoul, Split, Tokyo, and Santiago, commanding the decks of Ultra Music Festival’s iconic RESISTANCE MegaStructure, and selling out shows at RESISTANCE Miami‘s M2 residency.
RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will deliver its signature blend of cutting-edge programming, state-of-the-art production, and immersive audiovisual experiences – the same elements that earned the residency DJ Awards’ coveted ‘Best Ibiza Night’ 2018 accolade.
In 2017, RESISTANCE launched its first-ever club residency at the world’s largest nightclub, Privilege Ibiza, quickly establishing itself as a cornerstone of the island’s nightlife. Over three banner seasons, RESISTANCE Ibiza orchestrated a series of never-before-seen, “you-had-to-be-there” moments in house and techno history. Highlights include the global-debut B2B set from techno titans Carl Cox and Maceo Plex, as well as the first-ever B3B performance from Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire, and Paco Osuna, whose marathon set during the 2017 Season Closing Party instantly became a defining moment in RESISTANCE lore.
RESISTANCE Ibiza also lays claim to reuniting the legendary duo of Sasha and John Digweed for an exclusive 2017 season residency. This partnership marked the pair’s first Ibiza appearances together since 2009, and their first club residency in more than 15 years—a momentous return to form not seen since their fabled tenure at Twilo New York ended in 2001.
In 2023, ULTRA Worldwide unveiled its debut U.S. club residency – RESISTANCE Miami– in the festival’s Miami Beach hometown at nightlife haven M2 Miami, transporting RESISTANCE’s signature immersive clubbing experience from Ibiza to America for the very first time. Now in its acclaimed second season, RESISTANCE Miami’s six-month, Saturday night residency has become a staple of the city’s house and techno culture, notching more than 30 sold-out shows, and showcasing headlining performances from underground luminaries like Boris Brejcha, Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, CamelPhat, Joris Voorn, Mind Against, and Amelie Lens. 
The 2025 Ibiza residency brings the story full circle as RESISTANCE debuts at Amnesia—the venue that hosted ULTRA Worldwide’s first Ibiza event in 2007. A momentous reunion nearly 20 years in the making, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will transform Amnesia’s hallowed architecture into multisensory spectacles all season long, showcasing the large-scale productions, top-of-the-line visual design, and transcendent soundscapes that have come to define the RESISTANCE brand globally. 
Today’s RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 announcement also marks the launch of RESISTANCE’s revolutionary, yearlong global club residency program, creating an unprecedented circuit of clubbing experiences from Miami to the Mediterranean. This first-of-its-kind format bridges RESISTANCE’s acclaimed U.S. club presence in Ultra’s hometown of Miami Beach, with its award-winning Ibiza residency, merging two of dance music’s most iconic destinations into a singular, transcontinental movement.

Virtual Riot and DJ Diesel Team Up for Riotous Drum & Bass Track, "Damage"

When two globally revered superstars like DJ Diesel and Virtual Riot team up, a festival anthem is sure to be made. That's surely the case with their new collaboration, "Damage."
Before a pair of roaring drum & bass drops, the track begins with a deceivingly benign guitar solo, which ushers in lively rap lyricism by Shaq. The arrangement showcases both producers' signatures while still paying homage to their dubstep sensibilities in the final drop.
"Damage" arrives just days before "Shaq's Fun House," which features a stacked lineup of John Summit, Ludacris and the NBA legend's own son, Myles O'Neal. The event is scheduled for February 7th in New Orleans right before the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Virtual Riot, the Stealing Fire producer, is set to head over to the West Coast for a landmark concert at LA's Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall, the biggest headlining show of his career so far.
Listen to "Damage" below.
