More acts will be revealed soon. The festival will have 3 stages, the third with urban rap, trap, hip-hop, and multiple music spots with DJs. 
Neversea Kapital is a pilot edition inspired by the spirit of Neversea, one of the biggest beach festivals in Europe, and reimagined for the city. It is where music meets culture, street art, style and fashion, a food festival, creative energy and connection, all fused into one unforgettable urban playground. Tickets are available on neversea.com. 
Neversea Kapital will continue to grow into its own identity from 2026, becoming a major new addition to the global festival scene. Next year, Neversea Festival will return to the beach in the beautiful coastal city of Constanța.
Neversea Kapital marks UNTOLD Universe‘s first music festival in Romania’s Capital, Bucharest.

Multi-platinum Artist R3HAB Soars Into Summer with Meaningful New Single “All My Life.” Out Now via Polydor Records/Universal

Global dance music icon R3HAB returns with one of his most anticipated releases to date – “All My Life,” via Polydor/Universal. The track opens with delicate piano melodies and a breathy, intimate female vocal, gradually unfolding into a euphoric, deep house anthem laced with shimmering synths and uplifting energy. Written during a songwriting camp in Thailand, the single captures a raw emotional current – freedom, surrender, and escapism – making it a contender for the soundtrack of summer 2025.
“‘All My Life‘ means a lot to me,” R3HAB shares. “The lyric ‘Parachute when I free fall‘ came from a moment of complete surrender… that feeling when you let go, drift into the unknown, and somehow feel safe in it.” With hopeful lyrics and a soaring soundscape, “All My Life” is both a personal revelation and a universal invitation to let go, live fully, and chase what’s calling you.

“‘All My Life‘ means a lot to me. I wrote it during a camp in Thailand, and there was this real energy in the air – like everything was flowing. The lyric ‘Parachute when I free fall‘ came from a moment of complete surrender… that feeling when you let go, drift into the unknown and somehow feel safe in it. It’s about wanting to fly away, be fully in the moment, and forget about everything else for a while. The song holds that emotion for me – a sense of freedom, peace, and a quiet kind of nostalgia from a life spent moving, creating, and connecting. 2025 already feels like a powerful year. I’m more inspired than ever, and I can’t wait to share this one with the world.” – R3HAB

From his breakthrough remixes for Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, to anthems such as Platinum-certified “All Around The World (La La La)”, “Rock My Body” and “Lullaby,” to his collaborations with the likes of Ava Max, ZAYN, Jason Derulo, Luis Fonsi, and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most forward-thinking artists in the game. His work has collected over 12 billion streams to date, including more than 1.1B in 2024 alone. R3HAB founded his label CYB3RPVNK in 2016, which has passed 4B streams across platforms since its inception. R3HAB continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with artists around the globe, pushing the boundaries of dance music as he collaborates across genres and languages.

Released via his own imprint, Make The Girls Dance Records, the track features powerhouse collaborators BRØDER and Spijker, uniting French, Dutch, and Afro House influences into a global sonic celebration.

In this 2025 reimagining, HUGEL injects the track with an energetic Afro House pulse while honoring its soulful essence.

“It’s a weird kind of wanky, tech-bro nightmare future”: Radiohead’s Thom Yorke says AI does nothing more than “steal” from human artists

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is the latest artist to speak out against the rise of AI in the music industry, slamming its lack of “genuine original creative thought” and the way it “steals” from human artists without proper credit.
In a recent chat with Electronic Sound magazine, Yorke offers a scathing critique of Artificial Intelligence’s creative limits – and the exploitative systems behind it.
“As far as I can tell in music and art and all creative industries, Al is so far only able to ‘create’ variations on genuine human artistic expression, and those are obvious,” says Yorke. “Is Al capable of genuine original creative thought? I have yet to see that.”
READ MORE: Snoop Dogg embraces AI in new music video — and, yes, it’s kinda weird He adds that AI “analyses and steals and builds iterations without acknowledging the original human work it analysed”: It creates pallid facsimiles, which is useful in the same way auto-accompaniment is useful, or a screensaver of a beautiful natural landscape in a billionaire’s bunker is.”
The musician also condemns the wider tech industry and its apparent disregard for human labour and authorship, saying, “The economic structure is morally wrong… the human work used by AI to fake its creativity is not being acknowledged. Writers are not paid.”
“It’s a weird kind of wanky, tech-bro nightmare future, and it seems this is what the tech industry does best. A devaluing of the rest of humanity, other than themselves, hidden behind tech. In the US right now, we are witnessing this spilling over into politics.”
As Yorke explains, AI’s rise is only the latest step in a long trend of reducing art to mere “content.”
“We are, in modern parlance, ‘creatives,’” he says. “Which is a term I find deeply offensive because it arrived around the time that art morphed into ‘content’ for devices.”
The Radiohead singer is also among 10,500 signatories (which also included The Cure’s Robert Smith and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus) of an open letter from the creative industries protesting the unlicensed use of their work by AI companies.
“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted,” the statement read.
AI’s rapid advancement and the ethics surrounding how it’s trained has become the subject of fierce debate in recent months. Nick Clegg, former UK deputy prime minister and ex-Meta head of global affairs, recently argued that requiring companies to seek artists’ express permission before using their work to train AI models would “basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight.”
Sir Elton John, meanwhile, has branded the UK government as “absolute losers” over its plans to allow AI companies to train their models using copyrighted content.

Shakira Cancellations Continue: DC Show Nixed Following Last-Minute Boston Cancellation

Photo Credit: Live Nation / Capital Pride Alliance
Shakira cancellations are piling up with yet another show this week. Complications prevented her team from getting her set in Washington, D.C. ready in time.
Colombian singer Shakira was scheduled to perform at Fenway Park in Boston on May 29 and May 30, but was forced to cancel just hours before showtime on Thursday due to production issues. Then, Shakira was slated to perform on May 31 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., for World Pride 2025. However, her production team ran into some snags related to the Boston show, leading to yet another cancellation.
“Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira’s full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31,” read a message by the official Nationals Park account on Instagram.
Refunds will be issued automatically for purchases made through Ticketmaster and Nationals Park’s official website, with no further action required. Those with tickets purchased through third-party resellers are encouraged to contact the point of purchase directly.
Shakira shared her own message on her Instagram Stories shortly after the second cancellation. “Nothing more painful for an artist than having to cancel two sold-out stadium shows like Boston and DC for reasons beyond one’s control,” she wrote. “Thank you for being there in the good times and the not so good. We’ve cruised together through every bump in the road, and you always take me to the other side.”
But some fans aren’t as understanding. “You need to stop hiring friends as tour managers,” wrote one user on Instagram. “That’s enough cancellations for the first leg. Enough!!”
“And yet Beyoncé’s concerts are way more intricate and has a lot more production and she never has any issues,” another commented.
“Does Shakira understand how disrespectful these cancellations are to her fans and to the people who spent thousands of dollars to come see her?” asked someone else.
Shakira still has over a dozen additional tour dates scheduled through the end of June. Her next scheduled appearance is in Atlanta on June 2, followed by stops in Orlando on June 4, and Miami on June 6 and 7.

Alf Clausen, the legendary composer who penned songs for “The Simpsons” for over 27 years, has passed away at age 84.
Alf Clausen passed away on Thursday, May 29, at his Los Angeles home. His daughter, Kaarin Clausen, told The Hollywood Reporter that her 84-year-old father was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy eight years ago.

Clausen also won five Annie Awards for his musical contributions to the long-running animated series.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and raised in Jamestown, North Dakota, Clausen took a correspondence course in big-bang songwriting through Boston’s Berklee College of Music. He eventually transferred to the school from North Dakota State University, where he had been studying when he signed up for the course. At Berklee, he became the school’s first French horn player.
His songwriting career began in Los Angeles, where he worked as a freelance composer, ghostwriter, and arranger. Eventually he found work on television shows, including “Donny & Marie” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Hour.”
In the 80s, he served as composer for the detective series “Moonlighting,” for which he received six Emmy nominations. Later that decade, he fittingly composed music for the sitcom “ALF.” He also composed music for some well-known films of the decade, including “Weird Science,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and “The Naked Gun.”
Clausen joined “The Simpsons” in 1990, for the show’s second season. His role involved creating songs, music cues, and reinterpreting Danny Elfman’s theme with the help of a 35-piece orchestra. Scoring seasons 2 through 28 of the Matt Groening-created series, Clausen scored over 560 episodes.
Of the 21 Emmy nominations he received for his work on “The Simpsons,” he won twice: for 1997’s “We Put the Spring in Springfield,” and 1998’s “You’re Checkin’ In (A Musical Tribute to the Betty Ford Center).”
In 2015, during an interview with the Television Academy for their “The Interviews” series, Clausen said he was reluctant to take the job that would ultimately define his career. “I said, ‘I just got off of four years of ‘Moonlighting,’ and I really want to be a drama composer. I’m more interested in doing long-form feature films.’”
But “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening was the one who ultimately convinced the composer, telling him, “We look on our show as being not a cartoon—we look upon it as a drama where the characters are drawn.”
Clausen left the show abruptly in 2017, filing a lawsuit against Disney and Fox in 2019 with claims that he was fired because of a “perceived disability.” He revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and claimed both companies had treated him unfairly since his diagnosis.
Fox producers claimed he was fired for delegating work to others without permission. Clausen ultimately dropped his wrongful termination suit in 2022. His role on “The Simpsons” was replaced by Bleeding Fingers Music, a production company co-founded by Hans Zimmer.
In a 1996 profile of Clausen published in Berklee Today, Matt Groening called the composer “one of the unacknowledged treasures of the show.”

AMAs Attract Largest Audience Since 2019—Thanks to CBS Feature

The American Music Awards (AMAs) drew the largest audience since 2019—thanks to the move to CBS.
The 2025 AMAs were hosted by Jennifer Lopez, with the two-hour prime-time event attracting 4.86 million viewers. That’s a 38% increase over its last live broadcast in 2022, which aired on ABC. This year’s awards show reclaimed the top spot as the #1 broadcast of the night—demonstrating the growing impact of multi-platform distribution. These ratings include both traditional live viewership and live streaming figures from Paramount+, reflecting the change streaming video is having on live event viewership.
The 2022 AMAs, which aired on November 20 on ABC had significantly lower viewership. The resurgence in audience numbers signals renewed interest in live music award shows—perhaps with a boost from Swifties. Taylor Swift fans speculated that the singer may use the AMAs to announce her next Taylor’s Version album—but that didn’t happen. Instead, Taylor Swift announced last week that she had re-acquired the rights to her original masters from Shamrock Capital.
This year’s American Music Awards outpaced several recent prime-time specials, too. They were 26% higher than ABC’s CMA Country Christmas on December 3, which achieved 3.87 million viewers. It was also 39% higher than NBC’s SNL 50 Years of Music broadcast on January 27, which achieved 3.49 million viewers. Perhaps most impressive, the AMAs outpaced ABC’s CMA Fest by 52%, which aired on June 25, 2024 with 3.19 million viewers.
CBS also estimates that the AMAs drove 9.2 billion potential impressions and 816.6K mentions on social media as the world discussed the broadcast. It boasted growth across all key demos versus the 2022 broadcast as well. This year was up 91% among the 18-34 age cohort, 23% among the 18-49 cohort, and 16% among the 25-54 cohort.
Highlighting the importance of social media, CBS reveals that the 2025 AMAs social accounts garnered over 100 million video views within the first 24 hours of airing across Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and Facebook. Meanwhile, the AMAs Twitch live broadcast peaked at 205.5K during the appearance of YouTube star Kai Cenat’s appearance.

PBS Sues Trump Just Days After NPR Files Suit Over Federal Funding Freeze

Photo Credit: PBS
PBS files a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over an executive order signed earlier this month to cut funding to the public television network and NPR.
On Friday, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) sued Donald Trump and his administration over the executive order signed early last month. The order aims to cut funding to public broadcasters like PBS and NPR. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., follows NPR and three of its Colorado-based member stations suing Trump over the same order.
According to attorneys for PBS, the executive order is “blatant viewpoint discrimination and an infringement of PBS and PBS Member Stations’ private editorial discretion. Further, they assert the order is a violation of the First Amendment, as well as parts of the Public Broadcasting Act passed in 1967. Much like NPR’s separate lawsuit over the same executive order, PBS’ lawsuit argues that Trump does not have the authority to block federal funding to the public TV and radio networks over their content.
“The EO [executive order] makes no attempt to hide the fact that it is cutting off the flow of funds to PBS because of the content of PBS programming and out of a desire to alter the content of speech,” reads the filing. “The EO smacks of retaliation for, among other things, perceived political slights in news coverage.”
Trump’s executive order, signed in early May, instructed the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the private nonprofit that serves as the point of contact for government funding to public media, to cease federal funding for PBS and NPR. The order asserts that government funding serves to “support biased and partisan news coverage.” Further, the order says indirect government funding should be stopped, including funding to local stations that connect to a national news network.
When NPR’s lawsuit was filed last week, White House spokesman Harrison Fields told CBS News: “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is creating media to support a particular political party on the taxpayers’ dime. Therefore, the President is exercising his lawful authority to limit funding to NPR and PBS.”
Notably, the CPB also sued Trump in a separate lawsuit over attempts to fire three members of its five-member board, asserting the president was overstepping his authority.
Should the executive order stand, PBS’ lawsuit says “it would have profound impacts on the ability of PBS and PBS Member Stations to provide a rich tapestry of programming to all Americans.”
PBS CEO Paula Kerger, on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, said that public broadcasters have “never seen a circumstance like this,” and stressed that the Trump Administration has been “coming after us [in] many different ways.” According to Kerger, a possible revocation of previously appropriated funds, as well as an effort to challenge corporate sponsorships—the primary way that public networks are funded—through the FCC, “among other things,” were possible retaliatory measures.
“We’re going to be pushing back very hard, because what’s at risk are our stations, our public television, our public radio stations, across the country,” said Kerger, who added that PBS only receives 15% of its funding from the federal government.
Smaller stations may receive up to 50% of their funding from federal sources, which adds the risk that those stations will cease to function altogether if that funding stops.

[Event Review] Lightning In A Bottle Reminds Us Why We Love Camping Festivals

The heat could not keep us away from the divine vibes that DoLab’s Lightning in a Bottle delivered during this Memorial Day Weekend. Five days and nights of silly, campy, grimey, sexy chaos ensued almost instantly. This event is considered one of the best camping festivals in the World. The elements were in our favor, and each artist delivered a one-of-a-kind experience. Nevertheless, this is something we will cherish forever. Now, let’s look at the highlights of this year’s LIB.
Lightning in a Bottle
The Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area has been the host to LIB in the last few years, and it still shines bright. The festival grounds and campsites surround the lake nearby, which is open to the public. Moreover, there are massive campsites which allow car-camping and RV camping. There are glamping options for attendees as well. As it is an all-ages event, the venue offers multiple amenities for adults and children alike. This includes a kids-only section.
The Vibes
As much as the weather posed a challenge to festivalgoers, including high temperatures, humidity, dust, and wind, attendees shared their love for the music and arts. They endured despite the harsh climate. From respectful and kind gestures to sexy and fun dance moves, everyone sparked electricity with every step. Security and festival staff were within the same vibrations as us. They provided pleasant, joyful, and respectful interactions throughout the 5 days. We definitely felt safe and in good hands the entire time.
The Music
Where do we start? This was definitely as much of a diverse lineup as Coachella, but in a much more intimate setting. Lightning in a Bottle brings the A-game out of artists, from the mainstream to the underground. Each set felt special and unique to the event. Each set had its own breath of LIB into it, which made the collective experience even more transcendental.
Musical guests echoed across multiple stages, influencing our ears with tasteful and ethereal soundscapes. Keeping the tradition alive, The Junkyard and The Stacks stages gave us surprise after surprise guests. This included ZHU: BLKLZT, Monolink’s sunset set, Dimond Saints and John Summit b2b Subtronics.
Major highlights include Four Tet, Jamie XX, Sultan + Shepard, Eli & Fur, Azzecca, Underworld, Sama AbdulHadi, John Summit, and Francis Mercier.
The charm of the festival was truly on wheels. Multiple art cars drove across the festival grounds all week. They showcased new and fresh talent consistently into the sunrise. From the banana to the monster and the bug, we followed the art cars left and right. We enjoyed their auditory blessings.
A major highlight of the weekend was the A Club called Rhonda Takeover. The crossroads stage was in full bloom alongside a stacked lineup of LGBTQ+ legends and nonstop dancing. Saturday night’s closing sets by Parris Goebbel and Biianco sealed the deal, with heavy basslines and heart-racing dancing. We definitely achieved a collective dancefloor euphoria in there.
The Culture
Lightning in a Bottle proved to be more than a music and arts festival. The experience extends to cultural exchanges and multiple workshops. These aimed to help and guide us even after we left the grounds. From morning Yoga to finance and cooking workshops, attendees used up the daytime to learn. They enriched themselves with wisdom from international guests. My favorite non-musical experience of the weekend was the Fire Ceremony during the sunset.
The organizers invited elders from the Mayan tribe. Elders from multiple tribes across the globe joined to showcase a ritual that connected us as a community. Whether we live by different rules, gods, or religions, the ritual aimed to find a positive and serene outlook. It elevated our experience.
All in all, Lightning in a Bottle brought us home, and connected all of us through music, arts, and love.

RISE Festival 2025 to Feature "One of the Largest Music Festival Stages In the US"

RISE, the world's largest sky lantern festival, is turning 10 this year, and with that milestone comes a seismic shift both spiritual and structural.
Nestled in the hauntingly vast Jean Dry Lake Bed outside Las Vegas, RISE has long transcended the typical festival formula with its signature sky lantern ceremony. But in 2025, the glow of firelight will share the stage with something far more engineered: The Horizon, which RISE is calling "one of the largest music festival stages in the US."
Spanning over 200 feet wide with 18 video screens and anchored by a dozen stadium towers, The Horizon is a production marvel that RISE says "is built to rival the most celebrated stages in the world." The stage represents a bold leap into the festival's second decade, promising not only breathtaking visuals and sound, but also a platform big enough to hold the swelling ambitions of one of America's most unique desert gatherings.
Headliners RÜFÜS DU SOL, Calvin Harris and John Mayer are set to christen the new stage across the festival's three nights from October 3-5.
"We have created something that doesn’t just house performances—it amplifies them and elevates them," RISE Festival CEO David Oehm said of The Horizon. "It's bold, breathtaking and built for celebration."
Tickets to RISE Festival's 10th anniversary are on sale now.

Don Diablo and Nelly Furtado Float Into Summer Bliss With Breezy Anthem, "Doing Nothin'"

Don Diablo and Nelly Furtado have joined forces for a new single, "Doing Nothin'," reminding us that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones we don’t plan at all.
In the new collaboration, Furtado’s honeyed vocals drift effortlessly above Diablo's production, which blends euphoric keys and rhythmic piano chords into a melodic house anthem built for sun-drenched afternoons and spontaneous escapes. The track leans on sleek, shimmering piano chords backed by a warm groove.
Furtado has been steadily reclaiming her space on dancefloors. Her work on Dom Dolla’s "Eat Your Man" was a bold and welcome reentry into club culture, helping the track become a global dance hit. Meanwhile, Diablo is celebrating a decade of his influential HEXAGON label with an ambitious revamp.
"I had so much fun working on 'Doing Nothin' with Don Diablo," Furtado said. "After all these years, it's exciting to still be part of something that feels this fresh and full of energy. Collaborating with artists who push things forward keeps it all evolving—and that's what I'm here for."
You can listen to "Doing Nothin'" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

Ivana Kovačević, Wife of EXIT Festival Founder, Dies at 45

Ivana Kovačević, the wife of EXIT Festival founder Dušan Kovačević, has tragically passed away at the age of 45.
A mother of three, Ivana was hospitalized in critical condition earlier in the month of May before succumbing to an unspecified illness. Her family confirmed her death in a statement on social media.
"With immeasurable sorrow and pain, we inform you that this morning at 5AM, the soul of our beloved Ivana went to join the angels. She was, and remains, one of them," the statement reads. "Ivana was and remains a synonym for love. One of her final words in this world was: 'No one knows how much I love everybody.'"
View the original article to see embedded media.
Ivana's presence was deeply felt by the tight-knit community of the Serbian music festival, which she helped grow from a protest-rooted student movement in 2000 into a globally recognized EDM powerhouse. Her death comes just weeks before EXIT's 2025 edition, scheduled for July 10-13.
Dušan took to social media to share a heart-wrenching post mourning his wife.
"I vow to you that with every breath, every thought, and every action, I will care for our little dragons and guide them through life to become the kind of people we always dreamed they would be," he wrote. "They will be surrounded by those who love you, who know you well, and who will tell them about you. Who will, each in their own way, carry forward in this world a piece of the boundless love you hold for them."
We at EDM.com extend our heartfelt support to the family, friends and loved ones of Ivana Kovačević during this difficult time.

BrewDog In Dubai? We Had To Take A Double Look

We swore we were still jet-lagged from Vegas, but there it was — BrewDog Dubai, staring back at us like a mirage with craft beer. There’s a special kind of buzz that lingers after a weekend like EDC Las Vegas. The kind that doesn’t fade with the final drop or the closing fireworks. For some, it usually leads to a rooftop pint at BrewDog Las Vegas, a side quest we didn’t know we’d recreate so soon — 8,000 miles away in Dubai.
BrewDog’s brand-new outpost on Bluewaters Island officially opened last Friday, May 23, and we swung by early for a first taste. This place isn’t just another watering hole. It’s a literal two-floor playground for craft beer lovers, complete with 22 taps, Duck Pin bowling, AR darts, and two wraparound terraces overlooking Ain Dubai and the Marina. In other words, it’s a place where the party either winds down or starts back up.
And yes — Elvis Juice and Hazy Jane made it to the UAE. That alone made our jet-lagged hearts feel right at home.
Hair of the Dog, Dubai Edition
They say “hair of the dog” is the best cure after a wild night out. But here, it’s not about chasing the next party. It’s about celebrating the comedown. BrewDog Dubai feels like that sweet spot — where basslines settle into memories and your crew relives the night over loaded fries, sticky wings, and small-batch pints.
Sure, we’re not trying to keep the rave going — not entirely. But there’s something poetic about sipping the same citrusy Hazy Jane we had in Vegas, now with Ain Dubai towering behind us. It’s nostalgic. It’s grounding. And it tastes like a well-earned reward.
A Brewdog Built for Dubai Nights
This isn’t a clone of the Vegas location. While BrewDog Las Vegas offers 360-degree views of the Strip and in-house microbrews, BrewDog Dubai amps up the lifestyle factor. There’s no on-site brewing but the beer list includes Punk IPA, Wingman, Lost Lager, The Grind, and more, all cold, crisp, and flowing generously.
The Dubai space wins major points for its two terraces, which shift moods throughout the day — laid-back brunch spot by daylight, golden hour stunner by sunset, and sleek hangout by night.
They’ve also gone full throttle with immersive gaming, letting you pre-game your pint with bowling and next-gen darts — a clever nod to Dubai’s love for interactive nightlife experiences.
A New Player on Bluewaters’ Nightlife Map
The Bluewaters Island crowd has seen its share of sleek concepts, but BrewDog brings a rebellious, rock ‘n roll edge to a district better known for its curated calm. There’s still that unmistakable Dubai polish — but it’s been dipped in hop-forward flavor, garnished with tongue-in-cheek humor, and served with enough wing sauce to justify a second napkin.
“We’re so excited to bring to Dubai everything the world loves about BrewDog – from its pioneering beers and legendary food to immersive gaming and live music, all under one roof,” said N Daud, CEO of Rise Hospitality. “This is a bar that sets a new benchmark for the city and delivers something fresh every day of the week.”
He’s not bluffing. The Dubai debut is just the start — the brand plans eight venues across the UAE in five years.
Final Sip: The After The Afters Spot That Earned Its Seat
Let’s get one thing straight — we’re not here to glorify bouncing from stage to stage without sleep. But BrewDog Dubai offers something rare: a place where post-rave still feels purposeful. Not indulgent, not excessive — just a sharp, frosty punctuation mark to a night that meant everything.
It’s where you land after the afters, with enough space to recover, reconnect, and maybe even plot your next one.
And for us, any place that pours Elvis Juice this far from the Strip, earns a place in the rotation.

Inside the Grand Opening of Ibiza's [UNVRS] Club, Where Reality Bends and Bathrooms Have Their Own DJ Booths

You know that moment in Inception when Leonardo DiCaprio explains how dreams within dreams work, and you're nodding along like you totally get it while secretly wondering if Christopher Nolan is just messing with everyone? That's the exact energy radiating from [UNVRS], Ibiza's newest superclub, which opened Friday night with the kind of splendor that makes you question if you've been living in a simulation where other major venues just weren't trying hard enough.
Masterminded by The Night League, the same team behind Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza, [UNVRS] "has been built with a singular vision: to create the most complex, breathtaking club in the world," according to a press release. The venue is described as "part nightclub, part sculpture, part dream," which sounds like something you'd pitch to Netflix after one too many espresso martinis, but somehow works in practice.
That's clear the moment you step onto the sprawling grounds of [UNVRS], as it greets visitors with a towering crashed UFO sculpture at the entrance.
Stefano Manzoni
Outside, a variety of open-air terraces offer panoramic views of the Balearic island of Formentera. Inside, the space marries traditional Ibizan finca aesthetics with sci-fi sublimity, complete with mind-bending visuals and custom L-Acoustics sound systems that probably cost more than most people's mortgages.
There's something beautifully unhinged about building a nightclub that requires its own mythology to explain, complete with origin stories about civilizations lost to time and reborn from cosmic dust. The storyline of [UNVRS] unfolded by virtue of audiovisual activations throughout every corner of the venue—each room had its "own sensory universe" with architectural references drawn from "brutalism, retro-futurism and contemporary art deco."
Elsewhere inside the opening party, those who had to relieve themselves during the marathon evening found no respite in the "Wild Comet," a fully equipped mini-club tucked inside the bathroom. There's a DJ booth surrounded by sound-reactive lighting in the toilets, so it's the only place where dropping the bass and—ahem—dropping something else can happen simultaneously.
View the original article to see embedded media.
On the music side of things, the night featured a brilliant lineup topped by a b2b DJ set from Carl Cox and Jamie Jones, each of whom are considered legends on the island of Ibiza. Other standouts were performances by Ahmed Spins, Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami and Joseph Capriati b2b The Martinez Brothers.
The party's apex was a delirious sunrise set from British house music icon Michael Bibi, who recently triumphed over a brutal six-month battle with a rare cancer, CNS Lymphoma. He DJed as the giant windows of [UNVRS] slid open and light flooded the venue, revealing breathtaking views of the White Isle.
View the original article to see embedded media.
The party marked the start of an epic summer of shows at [UNVRS], which is now set to present a slew of high-profile residencies and exclusive one-off shows from Anyma, David Guetta, Carl Cox, FISHER and EDM.com Class of 2024 artist Sara Landry, among others.
[UNVRS] also nabbed exclusivity of Eric Prydz's pioneering Holosphere 2.0, which is said to be "the biggest show production ever undertaken in Ibiza." That's according to Yann Pissenem, Founder and CEO of The Night League, whose ambitions for the venue are anything but modest.
"Opening [UNVRS] has been both a huge undertaking and a tremendous responsibility—a shared dream brought to life with passion, vision and an incredible team," Pissenem said. "From the very beginning, our goal was to contribute something new and meaningful to Ibiza's rich clubbing legacy: a space that celebrates the island’s spirit while looking boldly to the future."

Out via Game Over Records, the track combines drum and bass velocity with atmospheric digital grit—balancing cinematic pressure and melodic clarity across a tightly wound three-minute form.
Produced from his own virtual studio, the track builds around fast-paced percussion, glitch-leaning textures, and layered vocal pacing. TITUS delivers with characteristic precision, bringing sharp contrast to the production’s restless energy. While the structure remains compact, the sound design and pacing leave room for scale—meant for immersive listening and stage execution alike.
DASH enters as a fully-formed concept: an anonymous creator with digital-native DNA, working at the intersection of music, tech, and interactive storytelling. With no public identity and minimal release history, the project exists primarily through its output—positioning DASH as both participant and signal within a broader narrative arc.
“Back 2 Life” serves as the first installment in that rollout, launched through Game Over Records, a label focused on narrative-led releases and hybrid creative platforms. The single arrives with an interactive web portal at dashworld.gg, where listeners can initiate direct conversations with the artist and engage with layered content tied to the project’s long-term story.
