Beatport Is Introducing FLAC Lossless Streaming

The place of all places for Dance music sourcing is finally introducing a very handy lossless format.
Great news comes today from Beatport, the go-to website for sourcing Electronic music. They’ve expanded their offerings with the introduction of high-quality FLAC audio. Now, both Beatport Streaming Professional and Beatsource Streaming Pro+ subscribers can enjoy a wider range of music with crystal-clear sound quality, and with considerably less size and, in turn, buffering time.
FLAC audio files are smaller in size, yet still a lossless way which doesn’t compress the audio information in the way other extensions encode data, for example the various instances of mp3 which, although very handy, sacrifice clarity and a wide range of frequencies to save up on size.
Adding FLAC format to Beatport will ensure DJs experience faster loading times than with WAV or AIFF, while delivering uncompromised, professional sound quality. Professional plan subscribers can easily switch between streaming audio quality in their chosen DJ platform.
“At Beatport, our mission has always been to provide DJs with the highest quality music and the best tools to elevate their performances”, said Helen Sartory, Chief Revenue Officer of The Beatport Group. “The introduction of lossless FLAC audio to Beatport Streaming is a game-changer, ensuring that our subscribers can deliver the ultimate sound experience to their audiences. This upgrade reaffirms our commitment to innovation and excellence in the world of DJ music“.

Subsonic Music Festival enters its 15th year

Subsonic Music Festival, one of Australia’s most celebrated underground music and lifestyle festivals, has announced its 15th-anniversary edition, set to take place just north of Sydney from November 29 to December 1, 2024. Known for its dynamic lineup of music, stunning natural setting, and vibrant community spirit, Subsonic has become a haven for music lovers, creatives, and those seeking an escape from the mainstream.
This year marks a significant milestone for Subsonic as it celebrates 15 years of bringing together diverse communities through music, art, and immersive experiences. Made even more significant given the current events and festival climate in NSW and Australia, against the odds Subsonic is determined to show us why we still need music festivals in our lives.
“We’ve come a long way since our first festival, and it’s been incredible to see the community grow and evolve with us,” says Festival Director Scott Commens. “This year’s lineup is a reflection of our journey – a blend of the sounds that have defined us over the years and fresh, innovative artists who are shaping the future of music.”
This year’s musical lineup features a huge array of international, interstate and local talent spread across an wide variety of DJs and bands from a diverse range of genres and backgrounds. 

International headliners from the US and Europe include DJ heavyweights Radio Slave, Toman, Gene on Earth, .Vril, Polygonia and Viken Arman stacked alongside legendary veterans and cult like selectors DJ Zip and Sammy Dee to name only a few. They are joined by an impressive whose who of local and interstate DJs, live acts and bands. Sydney’s “it” artist of the moment Becca Hatch makes her much anticipated Subsonic debut, alongside other live acts like Byron Bay boy wonder Moontide, Melbourne’s The Oddness and others. 


Adding to the already impressive musical offering are some of Australia’s favourite DJs like Anthony Pappa, Simon Caldwell and Barney Kato (doing very special b2b by the river) as well as Cassette, Robbie Lowe, Morgan, Deepa and others. Melbourne favourites flying in include festival circuit regulars Soju Gang, DJ PGZ, Kelly Tee, Dylan Griffin, April Kerry, Danni B and the one and only Monday (yes Monday!) party starters The Breakfast Club DJs and more. 

Being a beloved member of the wider Sydney music community the festival has also invited some of the cities most respected club brands and musical outfits too. This includes Return to Rio (whose festival was cancelled this year), SASH, GiRLTHING, Club 77 and after an immensely popular and talked about VIVID performance, the unstoppable party starters Bare Necessities Collective among others. 
The notorious Sydney-based, but now global, Sunday institution SASH is bringing an all-star lineup to the Sunday on the festival’s Paradiso Stage, with resident DJs and very special Dutch house music man of the moment, Toman joining them. Legendary and long-standing Club 77 has had a huge revival in recent years and has become a hot spot for Sydney dance music heads, and they are bringing a diverse range of musical talent to this year’s festival including Deepa, DJ PGZ, Barney in the Tunnel (veteran DJ, Barney Kato’s side project) and more. 


A new addition of invited clubbing institutions to the festival’s music program includes two UK/Sydney-based brands, Doozie Records with some signature UK Garage for the Pizza Lab Stage. As well as GiRLTHING taking to The River Stage, which is the brainchild of the much celebrated DJ, Jacqui Cunningham, whose events in Sydney and the UK are a crowd favourite not just in the LGBTQi community but the dance music scene as a whole. 
The festival’s live music element is spearheaded by festival regulars the Bare Necessities Collective, a group of likeminded musical aficionados that year on year gathers more and more fans, culminating this year in a crowd-stopping VIVID Sydney performance and the Subsonic Music Launch at the Factory theatre this past winter. They join an already stacked lineup of hybrid bands and singers such as Kaiman Jimenez & Kobra 3000 feat. Queen Nedd, Chris Munky & P.Smurf and the award-winning Becca Hatch whose music this year has been widely played all over Sydney radio.
It is no mistake that while some of these names may be well known, some of them may be flying under the radar (for now). Subsonic Music Festival has a history of introducing some amazing DJs and bands to Australia long before they became household names – artists like Jamie Jones, Honey Dijon, and Boris Brejcha to name some now very notable superstar DJs. This has been by design as the team works tirelessly to discover and bring you the next generation of talent. Years before they were headlining festivals, Subsonic had the foresight and were lucky enough to share their music with you in what has become one of Australia’s favourite music festivals for underground music and culture. 
“We have some artists this year that we believe are on that similar trajectory along with some veteran underground, cult-like-status music selectors” said Dylan McDade, Communications Director & Assistant Programmer of the annual NSW festival. 
The musical lineup is just one element that makes Subsonic special—the other is the greater festival community. The workshop and lifestyle area of the festival aptly named, The Village is a space for festival goers to play, interact, connect, learn, discover, relax and express themselves through interactive workshops, art, classes, talks and much more. This year, Subsonic has reimagined this beloved space into an expansive new mini precinct, featuring two stages, a shaded massage oasis, captivating art installations, and an array of elixir stalls and shops. 
This year’s festival boasts another wide array of workshops, within The Village space, from invigorating ice baths by the river and serene morning yoga sessions to sound immersions, speed dating, breathwork, and thought-provoking talks on crypto, embodiment and much more – The Village invites festival attendees on a journey of discovery and connection, designed for the mildly curious to the adventurous. 
“We’ve always believed that Subsonic is more than just a festival – it’s a place where people come together to express themselves, connect with others, discover, and celebrate life,” adds Event Manager, Vanessa Fields. “This year, we’re taking that to the next level with new experiences and surprises that will make this anniversary edition truly unforgettable.”
While the festival industry has seen its share of obstacles, Subsonic Music Festival is moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose and celebration. As many festivals have been impacted by rising costs, as seen repeatedly in the news cycle, Subsonic has doubled down on its commitment to bringing people together.
15 years is a long time for anything, it is particularly long for a music festival and particularly in the current festival and events climate. Continuing more broadly on the current state of the music industry and festivals in particular, Vanessa said, “At a time when the music industry and events space are struggling and with many festival cancellations making the news, we (more than ever) still emphatically believe in providing a platform that brings together a broad like-minded community in a way that’s unique and offers a much-needed space for expression, discovery and connection in these testing times”.
And at its core, Subsonic is about that community. For over a decade, the festival has cultivated a loyal and diverse following of festival-goers who return year after year to reconnect with old friends and make new ones while welcoming in newcomers to discover it all for the first time.
“Our community is what makes Subsonic special,” says Festival Director, Scott Commens. “Whether it’s through a shared love of music, art, or simply the joy of being together in such a beautiful setting, Subsonic is a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone is part of the experience.”
With the first release tickets selling out in record time, 2nd release tickets are now available, but they’re moving fast. Festival goers are encouraged to secure their spot by the river early to avoid missing out. Tickets can be purchased through the festival’s official website with included flexible payment options.
Event dates: Friday 29th November – Sunday 1st December 2024.

Kelly and Fitch combine for an immersive vocal-led progressive dance cut teeming with uplifting harmonies, introspective lyrics and vast atmospheric textures.
Perfect Havoc management artist Jack Kelly returns with another standout track, joining forces with Jonny Fitch on ‘Minus Degrees’. This moody, progressive dance tune is elevated by the hypnotic vocals of UK singer Hazy Dark, whose sultry delivery adds depth and intrigue to the track. ‘Minus Degrees’ creates an atmospheric sonic pool, perfect for late-night club moments and reflective listening. Its carefully crafted sound design, driving rhythms, and emotive melodies combine to create an unavoidably immersive listening experience.

Jack Kelly’s journey began at just 15 when the Belfast-born producer started remixing chart hits and uploading them to SoundCloud. Since then, he’s honed a distinct, modern, deep house style marked by futuristic sounds and melodic lines. Tracks like ‘Backwards’ and ‘Driving’ gained him support from industry heavyweights like Nicky Romero, R3HAB, and Sam Feldt, along with airplay on BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM. His breakout moment came with ‘Into The Bloom’, a collaboration with fellow PH artist Tobtok on the acclaimed Selected, which recently surpassed 6 million streams. Kelly’s evolving sound and growing catalogue position him as one of Northern Ireland’s brightest rising stars in electronic music. His collaboration with Jonny Fitch on ‘Minus Degrees’ continues this streak, offering a fresh yet familiar sound that balances progressive energy with emotional resonance.

Jonny Fitch, also from Belfast, is a dynamic London-based producer known for his innovative approach to music. His debut release, ‘Christmas Drillings’ with the Sidemen, soared to #3 on the Official Charts, making a significant impact. Now, Fitch is re-launching his project with this highly anticipated collaboration with Jack Kelly on ‘Minus Degrees’, blending his Belfast roots with the vibrant energy of London’s music scene. Fitch’s ability to push the boundaries of electronic and commercial dance music shines through in this new release. Together, Fitch and Kelly, along with the haunting vocals of Hazy Dark, they’ve created a track that feels both cinematic and club-ready – a perfect addition to their growing catalogue of compelling dance music.

Look Inside Deorro's Secret Chuck E. Cheese Rave

Deorro took the phrase "kids at heart" to a whole new level by turning Chuck E. Cheese into the rave venue we never knew we needed.
To celebrate the release of his latest track, "En El Audi," Deorro brought the house down last week at the iconic home of arcade games and pizza slices. His exclusive "Chuck E. Cheese After Dark" experience took place at the location in Northridge for only 200 people.
The family-friendly event tapped into the early aughts nostalgia with which longtime fans of Deorro grew up. The renowned "Five Hours" producer DJed live from inside a custom Audi car DJ booth, turning the venue into a Latin-infused club dancefloor where attendees could grab a slice of classic Chuck E. Cheese pizza, play retro arcade games and meet the mouse mascot himself.

View the 12 images of this gallery on the original article The rare rave wasn't the only thing worth celebrating. Deorro is also riding high on the momentum of his first Latin Grammy nomination for his track "BAMBOLE," a collaboration with crossover dance artist Vikina.
"En El Audi," a collaboration with Grupo Marca Registrada, is out now via Interscope/Double P Records. Check out the new single below.

Barkin is back with another Club House banger. Dropping on Mixa Records ‘Wrapped Around’ is a groovy House track with energy throughout. It is an unique sound taking influence from both Bass and Tech House. A big male vocal greets us to open the track and before we know it energy begins to rise. ‘I Got You Wrapped Around’ is the last thing we hear before we are thrusted into the drop.
The hypnotizing and mesmerizing drop features gritty and nasty sounds. It is hard to stop your body from moving to this one. The track evolves throughout with a big Reese bass taking control of the second build. The second drop is just as good as the first but brings in new sounds to keep things interesting. The synths are huge and match Barkin’s style perfectly.
This marks Barkin’s 6th and final club track of the year. He has had a huge 2024 with some of our favorites being ‘Damn I’m Feeling’ and ‘Hypnotic’. The New York artist is quickly on the rise and one to keep an eye on.

Hulaween Announces The Festival Is Still On After Hurricane

One of the best intimate festivals in the U.S. is still on even after Hurricane Helene. Suwannee Hulaween’s is gearing up for its 11th edition in Florida and its diverse lineup has attracted more than just ravers. Unfortunately, the hurricane left many parts of the Southern U.S. in shambles.
Hulaween has not just committed to the festival still taking place but also is donating proceeds from every ticket to victims of the hurricane. We truly love to see festivals giving back to their community. The team is committed to working around the clock to make this experience best for its attendees. The location at Sprit Lake requires cleanup and prep.
I have heard rave reviews about Hulaween from friends labeling it a must-attend festival. Hulaween will take place from October 24th – 27th. The theme this year is “Weir’d Science” to celebrate Bobby Weir’s festival debut with The String Cheese Incident on Sunday, October 27.
It is a wonky lineup spanning multiple genres and some of our favorites from the dance scene include CloZee and Of The Trees following sets from Daily Bread, Levity, A Hundred Drums, LP Giobbi, J Worra, Chase & Status, and Walker & Royce.

Look Inside Justice's Dazzling Concert at the Hollywood Bowl

"Do the D.A.N.C.E" never felt more alive than Friday night, when Justice tore up the Hollywood Bowl with a performance for the ages.
Fresh off their brilliant Hyperdrama album, the storied duo transformed the iconic venue into a kinetic, neon-lit cathedral of electronic music. Nearly 18,000 fans were on-hand to witness the biggest standalone US headlining show of their career.
Justice's Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay are said to have spent months working with "a team of seven computer scientists" to produce their new live show. And the hype was very real, delivering a spectacle that reinforced their standing as pioneers of dance music.
The Bowl overflowed with energy, especially when they interpolated the vocals from Jay-Z's hip-hop classic "On to the Next One" with "D.A.N.C.E.," a longtime staple of their sets. The venue also came unglued when they performed the timeless "We Are Your Friends."
Check out a gallery from the night below. All photos are courtesy of LA Phil and were captured by Brandon Densley.

This creates a soundscape that pulls listeners into a vortex of rhythm and emotion. It is a sonic journey that reflects the energy and intensity of Odd Mob’s performances.
He continues by explaining: “I had Ed’s vocals on my laptop for many years but never really got anywhere with it until I sat down with Dom Dolla for a general chat, and he basically reminded me that we make club music and that I should focus on making it something I would want to play. Hence the new version was born“.
The Year so Far :
This year has been nothing short of monumental for Odd Mob. He has been lighting up stages at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and clubs. Highlights include unforgettable sets at EDC, Tomorrowland, and supporting Swedish House Mafia at Ushuaïa, Ibiza.

As the year draws to a close, Odd Mob’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Newly announced tour dates include a return to Australia’s Beyond The Valley and an ambitious end-of-year run across North America. This tour will see him headline his first-ever Hollywood Palladium show on October 12th. It will be followed by a highly anticipated performance at Webster Hall in New York this November.
‘Vertigo’ marks another milestone in Odd Mob’s already impressive career. Ed Graves’ emotive vocals and Odd Mob’s intricate production make the track poised to captivate listeners worldwide. This will further cement Odd Mob’s position at the forefront of Electronic music.
