Initiative tackling sexual harassment in UK live music venues to roll out

Up to 24 independent music venues in the UK are to receive groundbreaking training to tackle sexual violence and harassment as part of a large scale rollout by national NTE initiative Safer Dance.
Expert trainers and speakers from specialist music industry and charity bodies will deliver the pilot – initially taking place in the West Midlands – via a series of awareness days for staff from grassroots live music operations. The programme has been designed to coincide with the arrival of new ‘Duty To Prevent’ legislation under the Worker Protection Act 2023 which requires all employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace from Thursday 24 October 2024.
Music venues from across the central region, including members of the Music Venue Alliance, will participate in a series of half day workshops throughout November and December 2024. Workers will be trained in identifying, preventing and tackling unwanted sexual behaviour amongst music fans, colleague, and contractors during 120 hours of sessions on sexual harassment policy and culture – led by Michelle Diaz from specialist charity RSVP and artist manager Frances Barber Shillito.
Frances Barber Shillito is a passionate advocate and leading voice in the fight against sexual assault and women’s safety within the music and entertainment industries. With a career dedicated to raising awareness and driving change, Frances has become a prominent figure in promoting safe and respectful environments for artists, performers, and industry professionals.
Frances Barber Shillito, co-owner of NWN Management, said: “I’m really looking forward to working with Jack and Sam on this project. It’s a subject I’m very passionate about, and I’m honoured that I can be at the forefront of it all with the Safer Dance team. “I’ve really enjoyed taking the time to write, develop and put together the material for the training courses, and I’m very excited to get out there and deliver the programme.”

A screening of a new short film When The Music Ends – produced by activist and Safer Dance ambassador DJ Rebekah in association with Beatport – will also form part of the workshop.
The dance music producer and DJ, a Birmingham native, has been instrumental in creating awareness for the #MeToo movement in music, specifically with #FORTHEMUSIC, a campaign against sexual harassment and assault, in the club scene.
Safer Dance was developed by co-founders Sam Hennerley and Jack Young in 2019 to address concerns around the safety in music and NTE venues by providing an audit model, range of resources and framework for upskilling employers and employees. Sam Hennerley, co-founder of Safer Dance, said: “We’re committed to equipping venues with the necessary tools, knowledge, and confidence to tackle this societal issue effectively. 
“We believe in approaching this issue with dignity, compassion, and leadership. “Our mission is to create a safer environment for everyone, fostering a culture where safety measures, policies and prevention methods are implemented swiftly and efficiently; with the well-being of our industry at the forefront. ”We’re keen to hear from regional and national partners interested in exploring the Safer Dance model in other parts of the UK, particularly as a collaborative means of instilling more confidence in our NTE.”
Major UK venue operators including fabric London and Birmingham-based national arena operator The NEC Group have backed Safer Dance, driving the team to take learnings from the Midlands initiative across the country.
Project partners RSVP provide counselling and advocacy support to those subjected to sexual violence, abuse and exploitation.  Outcomes of the workshops hosted by Birmingham City University’s Music Business degree course – which Safer Dance co-founder Sam graduated from in 2019 – also include a better shared understanding amongst participants of how to identify, prevent, and tackle intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive behaviour. 
Data from the 2022 UK census suggests around 17% of the UK population have experienced sexual abuse since the age of 16, whilst a recent NUS study stated that 1 in 5 British students, primarily women, experience unwanted sexual behaviour.
In recent years, high media interest around gaps in risk management and harm reduction provision in the NTE has negatively impacted the reputation of the nightlife sector, leading to the formation of Safer Dance and other initiatives. The project supports wider efforts across the country to increase audience engagement and confidence with live music venues and clubs, amidst a challenging climate for NTE and grassroots live music operators.
Jack Young, co-founder of the Safer Dance initiative, said: “Safer Dance was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves to enjoy nightlife without fear of harassment. “By working hand-in-hand with venues, we’re creating lasting solutions that prioritise safety, accountability, and respect. “Our mission is to future-proof the night-time economy, ensuring that every space is welcoming and secure today and in the future.” 
The Safer Dance West Midlands pilot funding partners include the Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund, the Heart of England Community Foundation, and West Midlands Combined Authority.

CamelPhat Announce Charity Gig To Support Children’s Hospice

Liverpool’s own CamelPhat, the powerhouse duo of Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, have announced a special charity gig in their hometown. On November 1, CamelPhat will perform at the Invisible Wind Factory, with all proceeds going towards Zoe’s Place, a beloved children’s hospice at risk of shutting down. This rare local appearance by the internationally acclaimed duo is not only a gift to fans but also a lifeline for the hospice that cares for Liverpool’s most vulnerable young ones.
A Critical Cause for Zoe’s Place
Zoe’s Place, established in 1995, provides respite, palliative, and end-of-life care for babies and young children between the ages of zero and five. Unfortunately, the hospice’s future is in jeopardy as its current lease is set to expire at the end of the year. Facing an urgent relocation crisis, the hospice needs to raise £5 million by November 9 to find a new site and avoid closing its doors. Zoe’s Place has been a cornerstone of the Liverpool community, providing essential care to families in need, and losing it would be a significant blow.
The fundraiser has already garnered more than £2 million, thanks to high-profile donors like football legends Steven Gerrard and Peter Reid, MP Ian Byrne, and singer Peter Hooton. CamelPhat’s charity event will further boost these efforts, offering fans an unforgettable night while supporting a truly vital cause.
A Hometown Homecoming for CamelPhat
Despite playing packed venues across the globe, CamelPhat rarely get the chance to perform in Liverpool, making this event even more special. Having formed in the city back in 2006 after meeting at 3 Beat Records, the duo skyrocketed to fame with tracks like their 2017 Grammy-nominated hit ‘Cola’. Their return to Liverpool will be a moment of homecoming, both for them and their fans, as they come together for this heartfelt cause.
Joining CamelPhat on the night will be another Liverpool icon, DJ Yousef, known for running the legendary Circus event series. Together, they’ll deliver a night of house and techno music that promises to be electric.
Music with a Mission
CamelPhat’s involvement goes beyond just music. Their charity gig is an opportunity for the dance community to rally behind Zoe’s Place and ensure it continues to serve Liverpool’s children. Tickets for this event go on sale October 24 at 10 AM via Skiddle. This is not just a chance to see CamelPhat perform in their hometown, but also a way to contribute to a cause that could change lives.
Don’t miss out on this incredible night of music, community, and charity at the Invisible Wind Factory on November 1. Let’s help Zoe’s Place secure its future!
In conclusion, you can join the waiting list for tickets here. Be sure to donate to the fundraiser here.

Raving With Intention: The Rise of Alcohol-Free Dance Parties

What if you could dance all night, connect deeply with others and wake up feeling better than ever? A new wave of wellness-focused dance parties is proving you can. 
As the electronic dance music scene continues to be stereotyped by wild raves and an inextricable link to substance use, more artists now shifting their focus toward wellness. While some major DJs like Kaskade, ILLENIUM and Chris Lake have chosen a sober lifestyle, others are incorporating wellness practices to find balance. Chart-topping dance music acts like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Diplo, Felix Jaehn and Steve Aoki consistently incorporate wellness routines that prioritize their mental and physical health to avoid burnout.
This cultural shift is becoming more prevalent within the fan community as well. Wellness-focused dance collectives are emerging and providing alcohol-free, high-energy spaces where people can connect on a deeper level.
With the theme of connection at their bedrock, these collectives curate alcohol-free spaces at the intersection of dance music and mindfulness. We spoke with three, Daybreaker, Superbloom and The Oracle Project, who are at the forefront of this movement.
A new kind of party
Daybreaker, a pioneer in the wellness rave scene, hosts morning dance parties that begin with yoga and flow into high-energy dancing before concluding with meditation. Similarly, Superbloom promotes community through free- and donation-based classes in parks and beaches, blending lively house music with a focus on wellness.
The team behind The Oracle Project, a more recent group, curates reflective experiences that incorporate mindfulness practices followed by music and dancing. Organizers also provide conversation cards to foster meaningful interactions.
The shift from partying to wellness
Most of the individuals behind these collectives have personal stories driving them to innovate the movement. Lauren Brenc, founder of The Oracle Project, says her own experiences in nightlife shaped her decision to move away from alcohol. Having once worked as a bartender, she eventually realized she could no longer sustain that lifestyle.
"There was a part of me that didn’t want to give up the fun and excitement of going out," Brenc explains. "But I didn’t want it to revolve around something that was making me sick and wasn’t fueling deep connection." 
Andre Herd of Daybreaker also saw a disconnect between his own values and the traditional nightlife scene in which he worked. As someone who has managed artists and worked in the music industry, Herd had seen how prevalent alcohol was at events. When he began working at Daybreaker in his early 20s, the role was a revelation.
"When I was younger, I used to go out a lot and found myself drinking at every party or social event, just to feel like I could have a good time," recalls Herd, who said he eventually started working with Daybreaker and gave up alcohol altogether. "It was so aligned with who I am at my core. It gave me the space to let loose without needing alcohol. In 2014, there weren’t many events like it, and Daybreaker really started a trend."

Courtney Miller and Brandon Darnell, co-founders of Superbloom, were deeply immersed in wellness long before launching their collective. The former, a lifelong athlete, found synergy with the latter's love of house music, and together they co-founded Superbloom to share their passion for health and music with their communities.
A deeper fulfillment
What makes these events stand out is the deeper sense of fulfillment they offer. For Superbloom, the focus is on creating spaces where people can cultivate relationships—both with themselves and others—in "vibrant dancefloors and areas where people can get comfortable and sit down and relax," according to Darnell.
"It creates this really conducive environment for self-expression and for authentic and deep connection," she says.

At The Oracle Project’s events, Brenc sees attendees making profound, lasting bonds.
"I hear so many stories of people falling in love, starting businesses together, or becoming close friends very quickly," she says. "The connections formed are so genuine."
Herd agrees, noting that the absence of alcohol paves the way for a more satisfying life free from the hangovers, anxiety and malaise that often follow a night of drinking, leaving you feeling energized and clear-minded instead.
"Some of the wildest parties I’ve been to were Daybreaker events," he gushes. "When people are in a space where they feel no pressure to drink or act a certain way, they can truly let loose. Unlike traditional parties where substances are used to relax, Daybreaker proves that people can reach the same high naturally."
Mindfulness and intention-setting
The crux of these collectives and their events is mindfulness. Brenc incorporates cacao circles before dancing to help set the tone at The Oracle Project’s events.
"When we sit in a circle to set our intentions, it creates a sacred moment," she explains. "It allows everyone to connect with themselves and each other before we let loose on the dancefloor."
Daybreaker also incorporates mindfulness as a key element of its events, beginning with yoga and ending with moments of reflection and joy. Herd says the infrastructure of the organization's events places "huggers" at the door to greet guests with a hug and set a joyful tone.
Superbloom takes a similar approach, blending music and movement into a cohesive experience with intention.
"Setting an intention is like sharing a dream," says Miller. "It opens up the space, removes barriers, and allows people to come together more deeply from the start." Darnell adds that "it's a way for everyone to feel seen and heard right from the start, and from there, people just naturally open up, and the entire event becomes more immersive and meaningful."

Pushing past discomfort
Despite the growing popularity of wellness-focused dance parties, some are still hesitant to step outside their comfort zone and try something new. But Herd, Brenc and the co-founders of Superbloom all agree that the experience is worth it. 
Darnell of Superbloom emphasized how sober dance parties can be likened to fitness for authentic expression. In a similar way, alcohol-free dance parties can feel intimidating at first, just like stepping into a gym.
"It might be intimidating or scary to go into the space and it might take a little while to settle in, but once you do, what you get is a stronger, more authentic expression of yourself," Darnell explains. That approach, he says, has enabled him to speak confidently in front of large crowds, dance without inhibition and have fun without the next-day regrets.

Herd also paints a picture of Daybreaker's events as welcoming, low-pressure spaces. "There’s no expectation to dance or act a certain way. You can just enjoy the vibe, sip coffee, or let loose on the dance floor without any pressure," he said.
Brenc encouraged anyone who is hesitant to attend to think of it like any other time they’ve pushed past discomfort in life.
"Think of the times in your life where you stepped out of your comfort zone—it’s always worth it," she said. "These events are safe places where you’ll meet wonderful people."
The future of wellness dance
Whether you're dancing at Daybreaker’s sunrise yoga parties, connecting through mindfulness at Superbloom’s wellness events or finding deep conversations at The Oracle Project, there's no question the wellness-focused dance scene could reshape the collective perspective of fun.
As these parties gain popularity in lockstep with the booming "sober curious" movement, it’s clear the future of nightlife is about more than drinking less. It's about living authentically and fully in the moment.

The 2024 edition was no different, offering a diverse lineup of artists, immersive art installations, some impressive stages and a vibrant atmosphere that celebrated the city’s unique identity.
A Musical Melting Pot
The festival’s commitment to showcasing a wide range of genres was evident in its 2024 lineup.

III Points is not just about the music; it’s about the overall experience. The festival grounds were transformed into an immersive art landscape, with installations and interactive experiences that stimulated the senses and encouraged exploration. The vibrant atmosphere was further enhanced by the diverse crowd of locals and visitors who came together to celebrate music and art. After several years without change, this year the RC Cola Stage became RC95 and was huge upgraded with a massive LED screen that tilted down to the crowd. It made it look like one massive LED wall where actually there was some visual trickery involved. Beyond that, the super cool 444 Stage featured incredible soundscapes driven by cutting edge audio engineering.
A Homegrown Celebration
One of the things that makes III Points so special is its connection to the local community. The festival has always been a platform for Miami’s emerging artists and creatives, giving them a chance to showcase their talents to a wider audience. This year was no exception, with a number of local artists making their mark on the festival. The legendary Link Miami Rebels (the team behind Space) teams up with Insomniac to fuse the gritty hometown Miami vibe with an eclectic but quality musical lineup and stellar production.
Unforgettable Moments
III Points 2024 was filled with unforgettable moments, from the electrifying performance of Jamie xx to the spellbinding experience of Disclosure or Justice. The festival’s ability to create a space where artists can connect with their fans on a deeper level is what sets it apart from other music events.
A Look Ahead
As III Points continues to evolve, it remains committed to its core values of diversity, creativity, and community. The festival’s dedication to showcasing the best of Miami’s cultural scene makes it a must-attend event for music lovers and art enthusiasts alike. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for III Points.

SVDDEN DEATH Now Has His Own Flavor of Vegan Jerky

SVDDEN DEATH has revealed his next food collaboration following his work with Marshmello—and this is one you can actually eat.
SVDDEN DEATH, one of EDM.com's best music producers of 2022, has teamed up with Louisville Vegan Jerky Company to develop a signature flavor of vegan jerky. "Spicy Sweet Gochujang" calls upon the popular chili pepper-based Korean condiment for a jerky with some bite, much like his music.
The "Behemoth" producer said he doesn't often dip into the merchandising world, but he loves the company's food. In addition to being vegan, his new soy-based jerky is gluten-free and non-GMO.
"When I'm not traveling to play shows or at home obsessing over mixdowns, spiraling into an existential crisis over the tonality of a snare fundamental, I spend a lot of time cooking various vegan meals for myself and friends," SVDDEN DEATH says. "I've always been passionate about good food, and sometimes it can be hard to find that same home cooked quality in store bought snacks."
You can purchase the "Spicy Sweet Gochujang" jerky here.

Patricia Zavala Releases Debut Single ‘Pop The Low’ With Aura, Emanuele Esposito & Gianni Romano

Few collaborations can match the talent on display in the newly released single ‘Pop The Low’. Combining the creative forces of well-established artists Patricia Zavala, Aura, Emanuele Esposito, and Gianni Romano, this track is a true showcase of artistic synergy. Together, they’ve crafted an afro house anthem that promises to transport listeners straight to a sun-soaked paradise, cocktail in hand.
‘Pop The Low’ stands out not only for its infectious rhythm but also for its unique blend of English and Spanish, creating a bilingual masterpiece. The track tells the story of Diamond, a girl who finds solace and peace through music, adding a layer of emotional depth that resonates with listeners across cultures.
“I’m beyond thrilled to see ‘Pop the Low’ resonate with the house music community,” said Patricia Zavala. “Working with Gianni, Emanuele, and Aura has been an amazing creative journey, and seeing our track reach the top 3 in the UK is beyond our wildest expectations. We wanted to create something that moves people, and this is just the beginning.”
Gianni Romano echoed her sentiments: “Collaborating with Patricia is always an experience of vibrant energy and artistic synergy. With ‘Pop the Low,’ we aimed to create a bold fusion of afro house rhythms that ignite the dance floor, and reaching the top 3 is proof of how powerful music can be when made with passion.”
The single’s impact was immediate, as it soared to the top 3 on the UK club charts—a significant milestone for Patricia Zavala’s debut track. And with her next release, ‘Thunder’, on the horizon, fans are already buzzing with anticipation. If ‘Pop The Low’ is any indication, ‘Thunder’ is set to be another standout hit.

Bingo Players and Plastik Funk team up for ‘You & I’

Released on Insomniac’s IN / ROTATION on October 8th “You & I,” is Dutch music icon Bingo Players and house music veteran Plastik Funk’s newest track.
Feel-good, disco-fueled track filled with contagious enthusiasm is “You & I”. Its unquestionable crossover appeal is created by its upbeat top line and joyful vocal harmonies sitting alongside funky guitar licks, warm piano chords, and flinging synth lines. This is a unique music for the dancefloor since the two producers mix strengths to create a piece that naturally combines bubbling modern house sounds with old disco components.
Dutch producer Bingo Players is well-known for guiding the electro-house explosion in the middle of the century. Having a platinum- and gold-certified career in dance music, he has also had seven Billboard Dance Top 10 singles on his two-decade record. His last collaboration, “Pieces,” with Vassy and Disco Fries, tied for first place in the US Mediabase Dance Radio Airplay chart.
Another seasoned pro noted for his bouncy, bass-heavy house productions is Plastik Funk. Previously gracing the label with his “Skank” tune featuring Toxic Joy included on “Rotate Vol. 13,” he attracted press coverage from This Song Slaps, EDM House Network, and IGGY Magazine as well as radio support from Tiësto, Bexxie, Sister Bliss, and Cody Chase. With a current trip in Asia and 13 concerts scheduled in October, he has been on a run of 35 dates throughout the globe during summer.
Among both producers contributing their unmatched knowledge, “You & I” is going to create waves in the house music scene.

Atomised Listening – an Interactive sound installation using obsolete technology opens at London’s iconic Stone Nest

Sound artist and musician Paul Cousins has announced Atomised Listening – an interactive two day analog sound exhibition at the legendary arts venue Stone Nest in London’s West End on 22 and 23 November.
Exploring our relationship with technology once it becomes obsolete, Atomised Listening will transform the former chapel into a sanctuary of sound. Visitors are invited to create an ever evolving sonic sculpture using five mid-century tape machines stationed around the venue. They will be able to mix a personal interpretation of the work by creating new soundscapes using the analog equipment provided by the artist. A Quadraphonic sound system will transmit a composition made of 10 asynchronous sounds as visitors engage with the tape machines, bringing new life to the obsolete equipment. The visitors are welcome to linger in the space and watch as the sonic sculpture develops during the course of each day.
The exhibition stems from Cousins’ profound interest in conservation of technology when it becomes discarded and forgotten. With the shelf life of everyday technology becoming increasingly shorter, the exhibition encourages its visitors to play and engage with tangible media while creating something new out of obsolescence. Atomised Listening is a celebration of the heart and soul of analog equipment while also advocating a more mindful consumption and relationship with technology.
Paul Cousins says: “Atomised Listening is the idea of a musical piece being seemingly disconnected moments rather than a unified composition, a concept coined by Theodor Adorno. In keeping with this, I have created a multi-channel, asynchronous work using obsolete tape machines. With this installation, the listener becomes the performer and is completely immersed in the experience. No technical knowledge is required to interact with the work. The sculpture’s form is ever-evolving and it changes at the hands of each user. The technology is no longer obsolete”
Atomised Listening is supported by Arts Council England with audio systems provided by L-Acoustics and Tape Echo by Soundgas.
Address: Stone Nest, 136 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5EZ Tickets: £5.00, available to purchase here Opening times: Fri 22 November 4:00pm-10:00pm | Sat 23 November 3:00pm-10:00pm Age guidance: 12+

6 Dance Music Collaborations That Would Be Insane

The electronic dance music world is a creative playground where artists push sonic boundaries and merge styles to craft unforgettable beats. While we’ve seen a fair share of thrilling collaborations, there are some dream pairings that would take the scene by storm. From genre-defying duos to powerhouse combinations, here are six potential dance music collaborations that would truly be mind-blowing.
1. David Guetta and Tiësto
Two giants of the EDM world, David Guetta and Tiësto have been at the forefront of the genre for decades, shaping the modern dance music scene. Guetta is known for his chart-topping, festival-shaking hits that blend pop sensibilities with house and big room, while Tiësto’s legendary career spans trance, electro-house, and future house. Together, their fusion of styles could lead to an unstoppable festival anthem that spans across house, pop, and future rave sounds.
With both artists’ experience working with major vocalists, this collaboration would likely produce a euphoric, vocal-driven banger that dominates the charts and unites dance floors around the globe.
2. Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte
The techno scene is more vibrant than ever, and a collaboration between two of its strongest forces—Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte—would be a seismic event in the underground. Both Belgian DJs and producers have carved out their own lanes, with Lens’ deep, dark, and atmospheric techno contrasted by de Witte’s raw, acid-infused energy.
Together, their collaboration would likely result in a relentless, driving techno track, filled with hard-hitting basslines and hypnotic rhythms, perfect for the peak hours of a warehouse rave. It would be a must-hear for any fan of modern techno and a testament to the strength of female artists in the industry.
3. Skrillex and Axwell & Ingrosso
What happens when the dubstep icon Skrillex meets Swedish progressive house royalty Axwell & Ingrosso? Fireworks, that’s what. Skrillex is known for his innovative, bass-heavy drops and genre-bending approach, while Axwell & Ingrosso bring anthemic melodies and soaring energy that have electrified main stages around the world.
A collaboration between these two forces could easily become a genre crossover masterpiece. Imagine Skrillex’s gritty basslines layered over Axwell & Ingrosso’s melodic build-ups—it would be a track that balances emotional highs with ground-shaking lows. The world of EDM would undoubtedly stand still for a moment to take in such an explosive fusion of styles.
4. Nicky Romero and Steve Angello
Nicky Romero and Steve Angello both bring a mastery of progressive house, but each has their unique take on the genre. Romero is known for his powerful, melodic drops and technical production skills, while Angello, a former member of the Swedish House Mafia, has been a master of creating larger-than-life moments in his tracks.
Their collaboration would likely lean into epic, big room progressive vibes. Think soaring synths, emotive chords, and drops that would send shockwaves through any festival crowd. The blending of Angello’s bold, dramatic touch with Romero’s clean, punchy production could result in a dancefloor anthem that captures the essence of progressive house’s glory days.
5. Hardwell and Knife Party
If there’s a pairing that could bring pure chaos and energy to the dance floor, it would be Hardwell and Knife Party. Hardwell, known for his big room house anthems and high-energy sets, and Knife Party, the side project of Pendulum members known for their aggressive, electro-house and bass-driven tracks, would form an intense combo.
This collaboration would likely result in a high-octane festival smasher, combining Hardwell’s knack for massive builds and euphoric drops with Knife Party’s glitchy, electro-house madness. Expect pounding bass, unpredictable drops, and an unrelenting tempo—perfect for those peak festival moments when the crowd is craving intensity.
6. Kygo and Don Diablo
On the more melodic side of dance music, a collaboration between Kygo and Don Diablo could create something truly unique. Kygo, the king of tropical house, brings warm, soothing melodies and lush soundscapes, while Don Diablo’s future house style is more upbeat and energetic, yet equally melodic.
Together, they could create a track that blends Kygo’s chill vibes with Don Diablo’s future-forward house beats. Picture a song that starts with Kygo’s signature soft piano and tropical plucks, building into Don Diablo’s futuristic, groovy drop. It would be a genre-blending masterpiece that’s both uplifting and danceable, bridging the gap between sunset beach vibes and late-night dance floors.
These six collaborations represent some of the most exciting possibilities in the dance music world. Each pairing brings a unique blend of styles and influences that could lead to groundbreaking tracks. Whether it’s the high-energy fusion of Skrillex and Axwell & Ingrosso or the underground techno mastery of Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte, these dream collaborations would push boundaries, dominate festivals, and leave lasting marks on the EDM scene. Let’s hope these artists are listening—because the world is ready for these insane team-ups!
