"The Real Bros of Simi Valley" Movie Premiering in Summer 2024

After a four-year hiatus, The Real Bros of Simi Valley are back. And this time around, they're getting a feature-length film.
The Real Bros of Simi Valley: High School Reunion is underway at Roku, Deadline reported. The original film will follow the bros as their 10-year high school reunion approaches and attempt "to become the dopest versions of themselves" to show off in front of their former classmates.
Produced by Studio71, the movie will reunite the cast of Jimmy Tatro, Cody Ko, Nick Colletti and Tanner Petulla, the lattermost of whom produces electronic music as Getter. Many members of the popular web series' supporting cast will also return, including Christian Pierce, Colleen Donovan, Monette Moio, Madeline Whitby and Monica Sherer.
The first season of The Real Bros of Simi Valley debuted on YouTube in 2017 before moving to Facebook Watch for its final two seasons. The show garnered a cult following not only due to its hysterical parodies, but also its many viral moments, like Petulla's quote, "Yo Xan get your boy dawg."
The producers of The Real Bros of Simi Valley: High School Reunion have not yet announced a formal release date, but Studio71 has said it will premiere in the summer of 2024.
"With millions of loyal fans, Real Bros has cracked the code on how to connect with viewers through its innovative storytelling and groundbreaking social media campaign, "said Studio71's Michael Schreiber. "First as a series and now as a film, with Roku’s support, Jimmy and Christian are raising the bar yet again. We can’t wait to re-engage with our diehard audience."

Stagecoach Reveals Surprise Sets by Marshmello and The Chainsmokers Ahead of 2024 Festival

The organizers of Stagecoach, the massive country music festival, have invited some unexpected guests to the honky-tonk.
The Chainsmokers and Marshmello, two acts more accustomed to bass drops than steel guitars, will be saddling up in the Coachella Valley this weekend. The EDM superstars will throw down at Diplo's HonkyTonk, a stage blurring the lines of country and dance music.
Other notable DJs performing at Diplo's curated stage over the weekend include Cheat Codes, Cloonee, Dillon Francis and VAVO, the lattermost of whom have surged in popularity due to their viral remixes of country hits like Morgan Wallen's "Last Night."
While the nexus of country and dance music is a frail one, it has led to some big hits. Back in 2018, The Chainsmokers joined forces with country-pop artist Kelsea Ballerini for "This Feeling." A year later, Marshmello collaborated with superstar country singer Kane Brown to release "One Thing Right."
Stagecoach returns from April 26-28 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. This year’s headliners are Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen, who are joined on the undercard by Jelly Roll, Elle King, Post Malone, The Beach Boys and Willie Nelson & Family, among others.
Stagecoach attendees can find the festival's performance schedule and set times here.

The final result is better than we expected! I feel like we bridged the underground and commercial appeal with the contrast from breakdown to drop and kept the original GAWP x Melody Men collaborative styles.”

TikTok Will Close U.S. Operations If Law Does Not Change

TikTok has fired back at the U.S. ban law. Bytedance, the parent company that owns TikTok, announced they would rather shut down U.S. TikTok operations than sell. President Biden signed a law earlier in the week that gave nine months to Bytedance to find a buyer. If it does not, it will face a ban from the U.S. market.
The nine-month deadline can be extended to three months if Bytedance can prove a sale is underway. They will have until January 19, 2025, to sell the app. TikTok’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, vowed to fight the “unconstitutional” law in the courts:
Reuters reported that the short-form video app’s U.S. business “accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users.” They added that closing it down in the United States “would have limited impact” on the company’s global business. Furthermore it “would not have to give up its core algorithm” to a U.S. company.
TikTok’s algorithm is its most powerful feature. They have expertly crafted an algorithm that fits each user almost perfectly on their For You Page. It has certainly gotten many people “addicted” to the app, scrolling for hours into the night.
Some have expressed concerns that China’s Government could use the app to manipulate public opinion, including during elections. Lawmakers are also concerned that Beijing can access the app’s U.S. users’ data.

"The Pinnacle in America": 3 Electronic Artists Share Their Approach to DJing in the Coachella Mecca

As we write this article, the last remaining whispers of Coachella 2024 are fading away, crashing into the high peaks of the imposing mountains that surround the desert valley from which they originate. Like every year, those murmurs span the entirety of the multi-genre festival, from Kid Cudi's fall (which resulted in a broken foot) to the electrifying reunion of Orange County's very own No Doubt.
However, as we scroll through 'chella's trendiest online moments, one thing stands out: dance music dominance.
Setting aside Grimes-gate, one has to look no further than the impressive overhaul of the Empire Polo Club this year. The fan-favorite Do LaB was redesigned, the fabled Sahara was moved and expanded and, not to be outdone, the brand-new Quasar stage emerged from the ground like a desert mirage.
Coachella's Quasar stage.Julian Bajsel
In addition to the Yuma tent, this means Coachella's vast Indio real estate comprises four spaces dedicated solely to electronic dance music. In other words, one-half of the entirety of the festival's footprint.
The landscape of this legendary locale is extending its arms, embracing the diverse soundscapes of dance music more than ever. For DJs and producers, the adoption of this once-niche genre is increasing their chances to perform at the storied Coachella.
Out of the wide-ranging roster of talented electronic artists that graced each of those four stages, we caught up with three who embodied the spirit of the festival's evolving scenery. From newcomers to seasoned pros, this trio of tastemakers is here to share their Coachella stories.
REBŪKE
Right off the heels of his impressive remix of deadmau5's iconic "Not Exactly", Rebūke launched himself headfirst into the Yuma tent for his first-ever Coachella performance. 
Calling it a "celebration of five years of Rebūke," the Irish DJ and producer has spent years preparing for this moment. Speaking about the monumental occasion, he said "this particular show is a milestone of every artist, be it American or international."
View the original article to see embedded media.
After gaining notoriety with hits like "Along Came Polly" and his massive collaboration with Anyma, "Syren," the melodic techno star has more than earned his slot inside the Yuma.
Having never attended the event, Rebūke has relied on videos and photos of past festival moments to guide him on what to expect from this California staple.
"For me, Coachella is the American version of Glastonbury; that's what every European artist wants to do. This is such an important festival, not just for the fans but for the music industry and music culture," Rebūke told us. "From Daft Punk doing the pyramid back in the day and Justice doing their thing now, this is all massive stuff and I'm excited to be involved in it."
Azzecca
Another surging DJ making her first appearance inside the Empire Polo Club was Chicago's very own Azzecca. Having attended the illustrious festival multiple times as a fan, she compares her Do LaB debut to being on cloud nine.
"Sometimes when you DJ it feels like a little bit of a push and pull," Azzecca said. "But sometimes you're locked in with the crowd, it's fun for everyone involved and you can just feel it. Today, both of my sets genuinely felt like we were locked in and we partied together and it was really fun."
View the original article to see embedded media.
As much fun as Azzecca's inaugural performance was, the gravity of the moment is not lost on her.
"I never would have imagined I would be playing at Coachella right now, or playing to the crowds I'm playing to right now," she adds. "Everything for me these days feels like a peak."
Azzecca's consistency in her projects has landed her multiple slots on upcoming high-profile events including EDC Las Vegas, Elements, and ARC Music Festivals. However, she still speaks highly about the Indio venue.
"If you love music, not just dance music, but all different types of music, this is the pinnacle in America. Coachella is the best festival and if you could go you should go."
Will Clarke
For Will Clarke, who's taken to the decks at Coachella in previous years, his 2024 Yuma takeover was approached with less nerves and a bit more preparation. Adding to that ease and prep work was his familiarity with the performance space.
"The Yuma is territory that we're used to," Clarke said. "It's a dark room with a lot of people in it and I'm fortunate enough to play a lot of those rooms. "I think if I was playing Sahara or one of the other big stages it would be a different situation."
The task at hand would be overwhelming to some, but the U.K. house music vet carried on with gravitas.
"What's the worst that could happen? You could push the wrong button, the music could turn off and then you literally push another button and then it goes on again," he adds. "I'm not out here doing a Grimes, like I know how to DJ."
View the original article to see embedded media.
Although the grandeur of Coachella is not lost on Clarke, the Bristol native's disassociation with the event comes primarily from his British upbringing.
"Growing up in the U.K., you don't hear much about Coachella. And so, I came here with everyone hyping it up. "It's an unbelievable festival but it has not been part of my childhood. It's not something I've always looked up to."
So what's Clarke's Coachella equivalent? Glastonbury.
"If I was playing Glastonbury, I'd be shitting my pants right now."
Aside from controlling the dancefloor with his single, Clarke has also been leading the way in long-form conversations with his peers. His podcast, which began in April 2020, has allowed him to candidly speak with venerated artists the likes of Kaskade, Moby and A-Trak.
"The podcast comes from a place of speaking to creatives, obviously mostly electronic artists and some in-betweens," he explains. "I think it's important to be able to have normal conversations in life, not just artist on artist, but in general."
Emphasizing the need for more human connection, Clarke elaborates on his yearning to have dialogue in spaces outside of his normal work environment.
"This may sound weird, but I'm not a huge fan of going to a nightclub. I'd rather go for dinner and have a good conversation with people. For me, the conversation stops at the nightclub or the bar."
While a nightclub may not be an ideal place for a heart-to-heart, it's a great place to be introduced to new music. For Clarke, his latest track is due out next week and will feature House Gospel Choir. Time to take us to church.

Layton Giordani – New Generation (Space 92 Remix) 

Four years on from Layton Giordani’s critically acclaimed ‘New Generation’ album, Space 92 – one of techno’s most impressive new artists – steps up for a fitting remix.
A masterclass of techno futurism, the 2020 album was a defining release of that year and was an impressive marker of Giordani’s ever-evolving talents in the studio. The title track was a memorable highlight, mixing ambient textures with head scrambling synth effects make it an enduring dancefloor classic.


One of techno’s future stars Space 92 has added his touch to ‘New Generation’. With very special results. The Frenchman has super-charged the original, adding in plenty of laser-kissed energy as a barrage of powerful chords and silky pads take the cut into steamrolling territory.

“As soon as I listened to ‘New Generation’, my first thought was that this track was a perfect match to my own identity and energy. I was therefore very happy to get to remix it. Layton is a very talented producer!” – Space 92

Black Tiger Sex Machine Release Genre Bending Heater ‘Zombie x O Fortuna’

Following their critically acclaimed concept album Portals, electronic music outfit Black Tiger Sex Machine returns with a unique musical fusion,”‘Zombie x O Fortuna.’ Originally a live edit for their electrifying shows, the track quickly morphed into a crowd favorite, with fans waiting anxiously for its official release.
This genre bending track is a wild ride that mashes up BTSM’s massive hit ‘Zombie’ with the legendary “O Fortuna.” That chorus? Iconic.

We had the idea of blending it with the legendary Carl Orff composition; the idea being that it feels like an anthem for thousands of knights marching towards Excalibur. We’ve played around with that imagery in our sets so it just felt right and the crowd response has been unprecedented.” – BTSM

Chris Lake and Sammy Virji Release New Collab “Summertime Blues”

Grammy-nominated, chart-topping artist Chris Lake and UK-based DJ/producer Sammy Virji team up on “Summertime Blues” featuring Nathan Nicholson, released today via Black Book Records/Astralwerks.
“Memories are useless, I’ve gotta let ‘em go,” Nicholson sings – and letting go is inevitable as Lake and Virji underpin The Boxer Rebellion frontman’s poignant vocals with a joyous, propulsive anthem poised to ignite summer dancefloors.

Chris Lake said, “I’m so happy I got to work on this track with Sammy and Nathan. I’ve loved their music and vibes for a while. I’m super proud of how ‘Summertime Blues’ turned out. We wanted a drop that felt like the warmth of sunshine and that’s how it makes me feel.“

Sammy Virji adds, “Really excited to get ‘Summertime Blues’ out there, was great to work with Chris and Nathan on the single – so gassed for everyone to hear how it turned out.”
Lake and Virji received a thunderous reaction when they teased “Summertime Blues” at Sammy’s recent sold-out show at Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles. EDM Identity observed, “The night reached its peak when Chris Lake made a surprise appearance, sending the crowd into a frenzy with unreleased tracks and collaborations. The unexpected fusion of garage and tech house left fans, craving more, cementing the night as a historic moment on Hollywood Blvd.”

Galantis Announces New Album, "Rx"

Galantis has announced his fourth studio album, Rx.
Due out on May 17th, the 14-track album will feature Galantis' most personal work to-date. A direct successor to 2015's breakout debut, Pharmacy, the new record will explore Christian Karlsson's neurodivergence and how medication has been a pivotal influence in the way he operates today.
A press release issued to announce Rx called the album Karlsson's "most soul-baring work yet."
"Pharmacy was when I knew I was neurodivergent and I knew the studio was like a pharmacy for me," he said. "I was the patient. Rx is when I found medication. For me, it was key, but of course, everyone walks their own path."
In addition to announcing the new album, Karlsson dropped its fourth single "Dust," which has an anthemic sound reminiscent of the honeyed house-pop that carried Pharmacy to global acclaim. Rx will also feature previously released singles "Koala," "Lighter" and "BANG BANG! (My Neurodivergent Anthem)."
You can listen to "Dust" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here. Fans can now also pre-save Rx.

5 Secret Collabs That You Didn’t Know Happened

Electronic music is an interesting genre. There are countless collaborations that have taken the industry by storm and shocked the millions of fans around the world. Let’s take a look beyond the neon lights and booming bass drops and discuss five secret collabs that you probably didn’t know happened:
Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway – Proxy
Just over a decade ago in his early days, Martin Garrix dropped ‘Proxy’. Released as a gift to fans as a free download, this track was written and produced in collaboration with Jobke Heiblom, who you may know as Jay Hardway. ‘Proxy’ quickly became a mainstage anthem and has become a quintessential early Martin Garrix track.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike & KSHMR – Stampede
Now this track was released as a collaboration between the iconic DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, DVBBS, and Borgeous. But did you know there’s another artist listed as a writer and producer on this track? You guessed it, KSHMR. This is another golden days of EDM era track, that quickly blew up and took the industry by storm.
VINAI & W&W – Techno
Nowadays, it seems everyone listens to techno. But eight years ago when this track was originally released, progressive house was the subgenre taking of the electronic music scene. The Italian DJ duo Vinai secretly collaborated on this track with the infamous Dutch DJ duo W&W, but it has since seemed to fall under the radar.
David Guetta & AFROJACK – This One’s For You
This one- at least to me- was the most surprising. Released in 2016 with singer Zara Larsson, ‘This One’s For You’ is a vibey, vocal-focused track that served as the official song of the UEFA EURO Championship. Now, David Guetta is one of the biggest names in the industry and has collaborated with dozens upon dozens of artists over the years. He has even collabed with AFROJACK before on tracks such as ‘Hey Mama’ with Nicki Minaj and Bebe Rexha, as well as ‘Hero’ and ‘Trampoline’ with Missy Elliott, BIA, and Doechii. However, it seems this track went unnoticed as a secret collaboration between the two.
KSHMR & Vini Vici – Good Vibes Soldier
It seems KSHMR may be the king of secret collabs. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with artists across genres, dating back to his early days as a member of The Cataracs– who collaborated with Far East Movement on the popular track ‘Like A G6’. The American DJ and producer released ‘Good Vibes Soldier’ in 2018 with Head Quattaz, which was also secretly co-written by Israeli DJ duo Vini Vici.

Chris Lake and Sammy Virji's "Summertime Blues" Is a House Anthem for Emotional Renewal

Smooth as melted snow, "Summertime Blues," a new collaboration from Chris Lake and Sammy Virji, is a house anthem for emotional renewal.
The track blooms with pensive vocals from The Boxer Rebellion's Nathan Nicholson, whose aching lyrics yearn to escape the grip of the past. His poetic musings on shedding winter's icy weight amidst nature's rebirth shimmer over Lake and Virji's effervescent house rhythms, creating a paradoxical merge of melancholic introspection and infectious grooves.
Nicholson bemoans the bittersweet sting of lost time before belting a mantra for emotional renewal: "Memories are useless, I've got to let 'em go." In the drop, his undulating vocal chops are punctuated by fizzy synth stabs, urging us to dance away the winter blues.
While house music superstar Lake needs no introduction, the new single arrives in the midst of a bona fide breakout for Virji, who is leading the charge of a stateside boom of UK garage music. With a brisk and bubbly sound all his own, the London-based beatsmith has blown up as he continues on a barnstorming debut North American tour, which has taken him to the stages of major clubs from San Francisco to Miami.
"Summertime Blues" is out now via Astralwerks and Lake's Black Book Records. Take a listen below and find the new collaboration on streaming platforms here.
