5 Reasons to Learn the Bass

Do you want to pick up a musical instrument? It can be tricky to pick one to learn, as there are so many beautiful instruments out there that all have their own benefits. Some are more sought out by bands than others, some are harder than the average instrument, and some offer a great solo-playing experience. One musical instrument you should consider is the bass guitar. It’s an impactful, important part of music, offering a framework for the entire song, including a steady rhythm. It might not take center stage in the same way as a guitar, but learning it is undoubtedly an excellent decision – here are five reasons why.
1. It’s Relatively Easy to Get Started
While playing the bass can never be called easy – especially if you want to play at an expert level – it can be said that it’s pretty easy to get started. Getting to grips with some root notes and honing your rhythm can be enough to play in time with others, adding the necessary bass to bring the music together. Plus, there are ways to make bass playing even easier, including bass tabs. These tabs offer a more simplified method of learning the bass compared to sheet music, as they offer visualized learning – basically, they show you exactly where to place your fingers at each moment. You’ll be playing beautifully in no time!
2. You Can Play in a Variety of Genres
The bass guitar is not specific to one type of genre. If you learn the bass, you’ll be able to join a range of bands, including rock bands, jazz bands, funk bands, and many more! An added bonus here is that if your goal is to play in a band, you’ll have plenty of options once you become good enough to play live.
3. It Provides a Musical Education
If you’re interested in music in any way, you’ll naturally want to learn more about it, and one way to do just that is by playing an instrument like the bass. You’ll learn so much about rhythm, harmony, and how to read music. Overall, it will give you a better understanding of how music and songs are crafted, including just how crucial each instrument is in the formation of the sounds.
4. You Don’t Take the Center Stage
Most of the time, bass players do not take center stage – that’s usually left to the lead guitarist or singer in the band. For many, this is a huge positive. After all, not everyone wants to be the center of attention all the time! For those who are more on the shy side, it can make learning an instrument, joining a band, and performing live much more accessible.
5. You Won’t Disturb the Neighbors
If you’re worried about disturbing the neighbors with your new interest in learning a musical instrument, you needn’t be too concerned with the bass. Compared to something like the drums or the electric guitar, the bass is much quieter. As a result, you can practice the bass any time of day without worry!

Secret Garden Party Concludes Final Event With Iconic Spectacle

On Saturday, July 27th, Secret Garden Party‘s 2024 Roots Edition delivered an unprecedented show which perfectly encapsulated their creative contribution and legacy. After 25 years, the Secret Garden Party announced to festival-goers that this would be their final year in its current guise, marking their farewell and the end of an era not only for SGP but for the countless festival-goers who have attended over the years. 
In true SGP style, the spectacle conveyed a deeper message to fans, culminating in a state-of-the-art drone show, designed by Celestial in collaboration with SGP, a creative production of founder Fred Fellowes and Secret Design’s Nick Carter, titled ‘Creativity Unchained.’ This was followed by a ‘That’s Showbiz, Baby’ extravaganza, produced by SGP in collaboration with Acme FX and Immersive International.
The spectacle underscored the impact of corporate takeovers and greed, which have made it difficult for independent events and artists to thrive in today’s scene. It delivered a powerful message to inspire, protect, and preserve creative expression from corruption and the stranglehold of major players in the music industry. The extravaganza peaked in spectacular fashion, with the symbolic ‘Burning of the Main Stage,’ an urgent call for immediate change, signifying that from the ashes, something new will grow in the garden.
This year’s event was a true showcase of collaboration, with independent festivals and event promoters uniting in support. Shindig, NTIA, Cirque du Soul, and many others provided additional backing in the weeks leading up to SGP. Ren’s fans from Australia to the USA purchased and donated tickets to those who couldn’t afford to attend. This has become a global movement to save our music scene, demonstrating the love and unity of people rooting for a cause that matters deeply to them through positive connection and creative self expression.
Following the recent international festival crisis, Secret Garden Party will undergo a transformation this year which is set to redefine the festival model, emphasising the need for collaboration and unity amongst independent organisers. In response to the increasing number of venue closures and festival cancellations, Secret Garden Party aims to foster a collective effort by inviting other events and promoters to the SGP site in the festival’s absence, to join in their vision with an aim to revitalise and strengthen the festival scene together.
Fred Fellowes – Head Gardener & Founder highlights: “At this point, we’ve said everything that needs to be said. We’ve done what we said we would do. That’s the party we created, and that speaks for itself.”
Reflecting on the successful event, the programming and performances were hailed as groundbreaking. Ren’s first show in five years was a resounding success, featuring a two-part, two-hour performance by the award-winning artist. The show included live strings, theatrical performances, and a unique collaboration with Chinchilla and Romain Axisa joining Ren on stage. 
The Secret Garden Party’s final soiree upheld their reputation as purveyors of all things curious, with an eclectic schedule that featured something for everyone looking to unwind and let loose. From the LED hula-hooping of the fire show and midnight playground to the life drawing class in the Bohemian Artist Studio and Mermaid school on the swimming lake, there were plenty of options for those looking to stimulate the senses.
And while this year’s festival saw them commit to the Drop a Headliner campaign, a movement launched to support independent artists, there were plenty of exciting acts and standout performances, including impromptu sets from more familiar faces such as Plump DJs in the Oasis. 
As far as encores go, SGP’s was one that will live long in the memory as they continue to strive for a united, sustainable festival scene moving forward.

RÜFÜS DU SOL drop new song “Lately”, “Music is Better” followup

RÜFÜS DU SOL continues to push boundaries with one new song after the other. If you hadn’t enough of them, after the highly acclaimed Music is Better and the remix package, released just some months ago, the trio is back with the follow-up. Lately is ethereal and mixes soft and romantic vibes with more mysterious harmonies.
It is out now via Rose Avenue/Warner Records. It also features the official music video, out on YouTube.
The follow-up to the group’s latest single “Music is Better,” “Lately” sees the band continue to roll out their first new music since their 2021 Grammy-nominated album, Surrender.
“Lately” lends itself to RÜFÜS’ indie inclinations. The new song balances the club rhythms, intricate sound design, and heartfelt songwriting. It continues to soundtrack the highs and lows of their fans’ most pivotal life moments.
“Lately”’s lyrics explore a deep sentiment of interpersonal devotion and self-discovery. It is an approachable lore for anyone who has fallen in or out of love – a common string throughout the euphoric RÜFÜS universe.
Tyrone Lindqvist from the band talks about the tune with a sense of admiration:
“Lately” captures the warm yet artful dynamics that have set the trio apart as innovators for over a decade.
As described above, “Lately” arrives with an official music video. It is filmed in black and white and directed by Alex George, which illustrates the band’s artistry and sophisticated vision.
“Lately” is another window into the band’s new creative groove.
This is a new era for RÜFÜS DU SOL, defined by enjoying the process and creating from the now while binding organic and electronic.
To celebrate the new single, band members Jon George and James Hunt performed a unique ‘in the round’ DJ set at The Cause in London on August 1, joined by Jimi Jules, which sold out instantly.

“Lately” arrives ahead of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s only live show this year, headlining Portola Festival in San Francisco on September 28.

Lauren Mia remixes Teho’s ‘Lyra’

Released back last October, Teho‘s Lyra made waves with almost 400.000 streams on Spotify alone.
Now, after 9 months, a new version is ready to be released. On the remix duties Lauren Mia with her mixes of deep and melodic harmonies.
For the readers of our website, Lauren Mia is not a new name. She released her debut album not long ago on RE:BIRTH and in 2022 he released her first independent tune Ohm.
You’ll be introduced to the track by a wide and hypnotic baseline. Rapidly the tune kicks in with a clean and well-defined synth work.
Her remix boosts the track with meticulous attention to detail, superb textures, and an intense progression.
The remix maintains the core essence of Teho’s original while infusing it with fresh dynamism and intricate layers.
Each element is thoughtfully worked, creating a rich wall of sound that is both immersive and compelling.
The result is a masterful remix leaving us in awe of its beauty and intensity.
You can feel both the energy and mysterious and almost romantic harmonies. It’s a pure mix of emotions you won’t miss out.
The remix is of course out on Teho’s own imprint Labo T.
In 2024, the label released Theo’s album Shifting in which Lyra is the second song of the collection.

EDMTunes New Music Friday – Week 31

Listen to the most flavour-packed tracks we discovered this week.
Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday.
Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order. And remember, if you would like to contact us for a chance to feature your track on our page, head over to this link right here.
Above & Beyond and PROFF – Fractals
Genre: Organic House
Ever since legendary trio Above & Beyond hosted the Anjunadeep Edition 500 mix, and announced their Deep Set at Finsbury Park, also for Anjunadeep, we knew something was up. Only we didn’t know it was a double A-sider with one of the most infectiously-sounding producers in the Deep range, longtime friend PROFF.
Out of the two tracks, ‘Palermo’ and ‘Fractals’, we decided to pick the latter for our NMF feature. ‘Fractals‘ is a daring piece of tribal-esque Organic House which plays with out-of-sync, Euclidean rhythms and arpeggios, and an irresistible groove. We can surely hear the influence of all artists involved, and we just can’t get enough of it. Tony would say, “Mmmmmmm“.
Disciples & Delilah – If I Stay
Genre: House, Progressive House
Great news for the Dance world happened this week, as Dance music group Disciples came back. The hit-making trio, coauthors, for example, ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, one of the most summery anthems EDM has offered, released a new anthem just yesterday, ‘If I Stay’, alongside gifted vocalist Delilah.
Disciples’ comeback tune is built from the ground up over machine-programmed closed hats, then slowly unveiling an evolving atmosphere, warm and cosy, while at the same time introducing the offbeat rhythms the band are known for. It’s a harder, yet still highly melodic piece of House bliss, and it nods to their essence while moving in a new direction.
Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here.
Malóne, CJ Jeff, Ellivia – Missing (Back To You)
Genre: Afro House, Deep House
We’ve been digging the Malóne sound quite a bunch over here. And today we got yet another one of his, with a touch of nostalgia that has us pressing the replay button over and over again. He just joined forces with CJ Jeff and Ellivia to unveil ‘Missing (Back To You)’, a fresh take on the 1994 classic Everything But The Girl singalong ‘Missing’.
Released via Spinnin’ Deep, it’s got the best of all worlds, since it features incredible groove over melodic, warm musical beds, and tops it all off with the sensual voice of Ellivia. The Afro-House leaning tune represents the return of the long-gone singalong legend that is the original ‘Missing’. Now we’re able to enjoy hearing a fresh new version at clubs and festivals and, why not, beaches at sunset.
Wehbba – Revelation
Genre: Techno (Peak-Time)
Wehbba made his highly anticipated return to Drumcode this week with the release of his Awaken EP. It had been eighteen months since his last EP on the label, so the anticipation for the Brazilian producer was through the roof. A two-tracker of sorts, it included the title track, ‘Awaken’, and the B-side, ‘Revelation‘.
‘Revelation’ takes listeners on a journey through trippy Techno landscapes, incorporating Eastern scales and drawing influence from ritualistic ceremonies of Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. The track is a testament to Wehbba’s ability to blend different musical elements and create a unique sonic experience that is both captivating and hypnotic.
Audien feat. Jeoff Harris – Living in Color
Genre: Progressive House, Dance Pop
Grammy-nominated, gold-certified DJ and producer Audien has unveiled his first single, ‘Living in Color,’ off his forthcoming album, HARMONY. Known for his production prowess and uplifting melodies, he has established himself as an icon in the Dance community, garnering the support of industry veterans such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, and Zedd, and locking in remixes for leaders such as Bastille and Coldplay.
Known for his signature Progressive House sound, Audien infuses this tune with a touch of Dance Pop, making it an instant radio hit. The song is a celebration of love and its transformative power, capturing the feeling of being completely enamored with someone. Jeoff Harris’ emotive vocals perfectly complement Audien’s melodic production, resulting in a track that is both euphoric and heartfelt.

Tomorrowland Reports 8.4M Euro Profit For 2023 Edition

The world’s largest Dance music festival revealed its numbers for the past year — and to say they’re good doesn’t cut it.
WeAreOne.World, the company behind the world-famous Tomorrowland festival, reported a net profit of €8.4 million in 2023. While this is lower than the exceptional €24 million earned in 2022 (which included an extra festival weekend to compensate for pandemic years), it’s a significant improvement over 2019’s pre-pandemic profit of €4.6 million — value which is more comparable to 2023 than 2022 is, due to that extra weekend.
The company’s overall revenue in 2023 reached €129 million, down from €164 million in 2022 due to the absence of the additional festival weekend. However, compared to 2019’s €112 million, the revenue indicates a healthy post-pandemic recovery.
Expansion, Diversification And Growth
WeAreOne.World is leveraging the fame of Tomorrowland to expand its reach. This includes organizing sister festivals in the French Alps and Brazil (Tomorrowland Winter and Brasil), along with events and activities in various countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Dubai (such as the CORE events). The company is also exploring Thailand as a potential future location for a Tomorrowland edition, as we’ve talked about in the past.
Beyond festivals and events, WeAreOne.World is diversifying its business ventures. They have established business units dedicated to music (the Tomorrowland Music record label), artist management, fashion, media (radio and fantasy books), and the Tomorrowland DJ Academy, which aims to cultivate new DJ talent.
As for the profits generated, WeAreOne.World plans to reinvest most of it for future growth. This includes relocating to a new office in Antwerp and further developing its various projects. The company emphasizes that the success of Tomorrowland serves as a springboard for their broader expansion plans.
Finally, it’s a good thing to note the economic impact of Tomorrowland on the local Belgian economy. The 2023 festival involved over 1,200 Belgian suppliers, generating an estimated 557 jobs and €37 million in additional economic activity for the region. Additionally, the event is estimated to have contributed to a €281 million increase in overall economic activity and the creation of 1,900 full-time jobs.

Malóne, CJ Jeff And Ellivia Revive 90s Anthem With ‘Missing (Back To You)’

Enjoy a refreshing take on a classic we’ve all sung our lungs out to.
What a way to kick off this Friday in style. We’ve been digging the Malóne sound quite a bunch over here, with tracks such as ‘Beef‘ alongside Jesse Bravo, and ‘Talk 2 Em Mate‘. And we’re excited to share yet another one of his, which, can only make us say: he doesn’t miss.
Today, the Club Space resident and label owner joined forces with Greek producer CJ Jeff and the gifted vocalist Ellivia to unveil ‘Missing (Back To You)’, a nod to the past with a taste of the present. The track is, of course, a fresh take on the 1994 classic Everything But The Girl singalong ‘Missing’.
Although the original version of the English duo was rather acoustic and laid-back, it quickly went viral back then with a spectacular spin by DJ Todd Terry, and his remix now stands as one of the most iconic tracks in House music.
‘Missing (Back To You)’
This is not CJ Jeff and Ellivia’s first gathering, as they worked on their debut collaboration ‘One Two Three’ last year, and released it via Spinnin’ Deep, the branch of Spinnin’ Records that also represents a home for ‘Missing (Back To You)’.
And it’s got the best of all worlds, since it features incredible groove over melodic, warm musical beds, and tops it all off with the sensual voice of Ellivia. The Afro-House leaning tune represents the return of the long-gone singalong legend that is the original ‘Missing’. Now we’re able to enjoy hearing a fresh new version at clubs and festivals and, why not, beaches at sunset.
Malóne opened up about his vision of the project, saying “We wanted to recreate this classic as properly as possible – a special vibe for the summer season, for all the beach clubs and open air vibes worldwide”. He added, “Afro House is one of the biggest sounds in the world right now, so we thought writing something in this lane and style was a great choice of action. ‘Missing (Back To You)’ is melodic with strong drums to create those truly unforgettable moments in a set and party. We are honored about this opportunity to rework such an amazing classic”.

Simon Gregory Explores Deeper Progressive Trance Sound With Belter, ‘Like This’

Here’s yet another masterful and entrancing production from Mr Gregory.
By now you might be familiar with the sound of Simon Gregory. A veteran of sorts, he’s been releasing music for a while now, and has managed to secure a spot on top-tier labels. A Mondo Records resident and one of the most solid figures pushing the Trance sound these days, he’s back once again at home for a beautiful tune.
After tracks such as ‘F.O.S’, ‘Feel Music In The Air’, and an entire album’s worth of music released in junction with his partner in crime Nitrous Oxide as their Digital Drift alias, he unveils the next chapter of his sonic story today by lifting the veil on a new single, which goes by the name of ‘Like This’.
‘Like This’
Simon’s latest is a vibrant track. It’s not your average strong Progressive Trance pick, but rather, a much more profound, and deeper take on it. It’s got those lovely warm basslines, shiny percussion, and captivating atmospheres, and it takes you on a journey that screams 2009 all throughout.
For some fans out there, this one sounds closer to a truly progressive Progressive Trance piece, making use of each element to portray a mature journey through the feels and the melodies. The icing on the cake is a beautiful vocal, which helps the listeners immerse themselves even more.

Sara Landry's New Single Is a Supersonic Techno Track With a Rap Twist: Listen to "Pressure"

Sara Landry, the self-proclaimed "High Priestess of Hard Techno," is proving her magical capabilities in a union of two seemingly disparate genres with her new track, "Pressure."
The EDM.com Class of 2024 star today released the hip-hop-infused hard techno single, which features LEGZDINA, who spits unapologetic verses atop her frenetic rhythms. The entrancing track immediately proves itself a fun, carefree banger, fit for a sweat-drenched night at one of the surging DJ's unrelenting sets.
Until now, Landry had teased the release of "Pressure" only through performances and social media. It's now out on her own label, HEKATE.
"There was no holding back on this banger," Landry said on Instagram prior to the song's release. "Loved cooking up the hip-hop inspired verse on this one."
"Pressure" arrives just ahead of Landry's DJ set tonight at the iconic Ibiza nightclub Amnesia, followed by a plethora of major festivals to bring the heat to the rest of summer and ring in the autumn season. Those include Creamfields North, ARC, Decibel Open Air, Portola and III Points, among many others.

Audien's Dazzling New Single Is a Progressive House Dreamscape: Listen to "Living in Color"

Audien turns eardrums into kaleidoscopes with his new single, "Living In Color."
Out now on Armin van Buuren's venerable Armada label, the producer's latest dance anthem crashes through a monochrome veil with a chromatic downpour of house beats and emotion. He's joined forces with LA-based singer-songwriter Jeoff Harris, whose lyrics surrender to a love so intense it paints the world in hues previously unseen.
The line "Waited all my life" is a confession of a lifetime of yearning, distilled into a single, desperate plea. Harris then belts the track's prevailing lyrical grenade, a refrain that echoes like a mantra for the lovestruck and colorblind alike: "You got me living in color."
From a production standpoint, "Living in Color" finds Audien channeling his roots to make spirited progressive house music you can feel in your bones. He paints brushstrokes with his uplifting synths, which detonate into incandescent drops full of pigments of his signature sound that dare us to hear—and see—beyond the dull drone of the everyday.

I’m hosting an event called ‘Category Trance’ in Tokyo, Japan, and Ed Lynam from Ireland performed there. After that, artists from various countries contacted me.
Since then, artists from Hong Kong and the UK have also performed, and I’ve been able to build relationships with them.
I’ve also performed at an event called ‘Trance Essentials’ held at WOMB, and have been building relationships with the Trance music community in Japan.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
I would like to thank the Japanese DJ and producer Fumoffu and the organizer YOSHIMASA for inviting me to ‘Trance Essentials’ early in my DJ career.

It’s an extraordinary experience, so I’ve been attending every year since 2007.

I remember DJ Fumoffu having a good time drinking at WOMB’s ‘Trance Essentials’.
On her birthday, more than 20 bottles of champagne are served.

I love these words.
