[Decoded] Crow Hill Company creates VAULTS – ACID SYNTH as an homage to the revered Roland TB-303

The Crow Hill Company has announced the availability of VAULTS – ACID SYNTHas the latest entry into its lengthening line of free and accessible virtual instruments arising from company co-founder and composer Christian Henson effectively opening his ‘vaults’ for everyone to enjoy — this time creating an homage to the revered Roland TB-303 Bass Line, launched with high hopes in 1981 as a so-called Computer Controlled bass synth by the Japanese giant of electronic musical instrument manufacturing responsible for its creation before being deemed a commercial failure and discontinued quite quickly thereafter, though it was later instrumental in driving Acid House into the musical mainstream as a whole new EDM (Electronic Dance Music) genre and associated cultural movement, the popularity of which triggered a dramatic rise in the price of used units — as of March 19…
It is fair to say that when Roland released its TB-303 Bass Line in 1981 as a so-called Computer Controlled bass synth with the intention of mimicking the characteristics of an electric bass guitar, there were far fewer tools to create electronic music available. But buyers of the TB-303 Bass Line were possibly swayed by the fact that it could be time-synced — using Roland’s proprietary five-pin DIN sync interface (later superseded by MIDI) — to its contemporarily-released Computer Controlled sibling, the TR-606 Drumatix drum machine, making for an affordable rhythm section that could conceivably fit into a small briefcase as a beautiful backing combination for the solo gigging musician, further helped by both devices being battery operated as an attractive alternative to their (included) AC adapters… or so Roland had hoped.
Though the engineers involved tried their best to imitate the sound of an electric bass guitar with the technology of the time, the TB-303 Bass Line fell short in capturing its subtleties as an instrument, sadly, so it was discontinued within a couple of years, with Roland cheaply selling off the last of the 10,000 units manufactured. Now, normally this would be the end of the story, yet something incredible happened…
Helpfully, for the benefit of anyone not already in the know, The Crow Hill Company’s Theo Le Derf picks up what is an incredible story in itself: “DJ Pierre and his band called Phuture found a used TB-303 in a music shop in Chicago for a bargain price. They started experimenting with the bass sequencer and a drum machine while playing about randomly with the filter and resonance knobs. The sound they produced was so
unique and, frankly, weird that they decided to commit the jam session to tape. With the release of this experiment on Trax Records in 1987,they unwittingly birthed a new genre: Acid House. This slimy, hypnotic, subversive sound subsequently built a cultural movement, and was the soundtrack to many illegal warehouse parties of the late Eighties — all of this from a tiny synth that was used ‘incorrectly’.”
Thanks to VAULTS – ACID SYNTH’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) being as intuitive as always, correct — or ‘incorrect’ — usage of the virtual instrument in question comes quickly. “The first large dial — CUT OFF — is a 24dB lowpass filter that controls what high frequencies you cut out, and it is automatically assigned to MIDI CC1.” So starts Theo Le Derf by way of an appropriately quick guided tour, before continuing:
“RESONANCE determines the peak of the filter as it opens and closes, which creates that characteristically ‘squelchy’ sound that the synth is known for. The small dials are more concentrated effects — MOD controls how much voltage is being sent to the filter, so you can get some really interesting sounds by adjusting the CUT OFF dial and MOD simultaneously; DECAY controls the decay for all the envelopes; and, ofcourse, there is also our standard ECHO and SPLOSH, with the SPLOSH being an algorithmic imitation of a cave, which suits this synth so brilliantly.”
It is as easy as that, though Theo Le Derf is keen to add: “Another thing to mention is that you can obviously play staccato, but when you playlegato — MIDI notes overlapping with one another, you get a glide between the notes. This glide effect is another characteristic that the ’303 is renowned for.”
No need, necessarily, then, to risk dropping a bank-balance-busting four-figure sum on a decades-old Roland TB-303 Bass Line when The CrowHill Company’s ‘tribute’ truly captures the essence of its distinctive sound for all to enjoy for literally nothing. Notes Theo Le Derf, ending on a high note: “The story arc of this synth is so amazing — from its unpromising beginning to completely defining a genre and an era, it’s so exciting to have this celebrated instrument at my fingertips for free!”
VAULTS – ACID SYNTH is free for everyone — as are all VAULTS… releases from The Crow Hill Company — from here: https://thecrowhillcompany.com/vaults/
VAULTS – ACID SYNTH installation and activation requires installation of The Crow Hill App — an easy-to-use app designed by the best in the business to provide seamless download, installation, integration, calibration, and organisation of The Crow Hill Company tools — available for free from here: https://thecrowhillcompany.com/crow-hill-app/

[EDMTunes] Dom Dolla – Dreamin (feat. Daya) (Anyma Remix)

The highly anticipated Anyma remix of Dreamin by Dom Dolla featuring Daya is out now via Three Six Zero Recordings. In just a month’s time, the track soared through playlists and made it to the Super Bowl for Everything Always’s (Dom Dolla and John Summit) Royal Sonesta impromptu set in New Orleans. Dom even brought it out at EDC Mexico and his sold-out Madison Square Garden shows. So imagine my excitement when I heard this at the last slew of ANYMA’s The End of Genesys show at the Sphere in Las Vegas. It didn’t get much better than an epic show with an interstellar remix of my two favorite artists.
‘Dreamin‘ is originally a tech house track by Dom Dolla, featuring the vocals of Daya. The original track showcased Dolla’s signature groovy, minimalistic tech house vibe. So, Anyma, known for his melodic techno style, put his signature spin on the track. His remix transforms the song into a more powerful, melodic techno experience. It is characterized by a vibrating bassline, gargantuan synth melodies, and arena-sized kick drums. Hearing it on 16,000 speakers made it even better. Additionally, Daya’s haunting vocals fit well with Anyma’s sonic landscape, providing a consistent element between the original and the remix.
We know a new album is in the works from Anyma, to be released around May. Catch him at Ultra Music Festival and Creamfields while we stay tuned for more new music from Matteo. Check out the remix below, available on all streaming platforms.

[EDMTunes] Summer Camp is Not Happening This Year

Memorial Day weekend festivities are one major highlight everyone in the U.S. looks forward to every year. Unfortunately, this year, Summer Camp will not be holding its Memorial Day event this May.
The team made this decision because they felt that they would not be able to put together an event that would live up to their brand. Factors such as the state of the music festival industry, artist conflicts, and more led them to cancel Summer Camp 2025.
Don’t let this bring you down too much, Summer Camp will return in 2026 for its big 25th anniversary. But for 2025, they will host a series of shows throughout the summer at Peoria Riverfront as a prequel to next year. There will be five shows happening on June 20th, June 26th, July 17th, August 6th, and August 15th.

[EDMTunes] Above & Beyond Announce New Artist Album, Bigger Than All Of Us

It’s been a while, but the Trance trio is back for yet another of their masterpieces.
There’s few things I’ve ever left unsaid about Above & Beyond. Of course I’m a huge fan of them and their music, but I always stand speechless when trying to digest how large of a concept they’ve created, harvested and changed peoples’ lives with: Anjuna, and the concept of the Anjunafamily.
And after a quarter of a century of A&B, it feels absolutely fitting that their next studio album, announced today, touches upon this topic. Somehow, Above & Beyond isn’t above them anymore. It’s about what surrounds them, their music and their shows. It’s about that magic that unfolds whenever they’re brought up. Quite fittingly, Above & Beyond is Bigger Than All Of Us.
Bigger Than All Of Us
Seven years ago we’d see the release of Common Ground, the last Electronic album of the band for a while. Granted, certain things happened in the history of mankind that delayed all projects for all of us, while opening the doors to new, exciting ventures. Jono partnered with his longtime pal and collaborator Darren Tate to form JODA, focusing on Synthwave and 80s-inspired music, Paavo relaunched his P.O.S solo moniker and released an entire album written while figuring out what a strange life we’d been living, and Tony unearthed Salt, an album written for the most part even before Above & Beyond was born.
And while all of this is impressive and can only show how big of a musician each part is on their own, fans were still waiting for that studio album that got lost to time. The Tranquility Base EPs are lovely, but they’re a branch of A&B. And maybe, just maybe, all of this time, all these years and new experiences, make this upcoming album even stronger and more powerful than they always are.
A celebration of their get-togetherness, the delivery of Bigger Than All Of Us feels like the spiritual comeback of the essential Above & Beyond. A reconnection of sorts. The next chapter of three blokes who, without knowing at first and fully willingly now, change peoples’ lives through music. And the first single to be lifted is equally as potent — ‘Quicksand’, alongside Zoë Johnston, coming out this very Friday.
‘Quicksand’
“It’s classic Zoë Johnston“, the band say. “We’ve been working with her for 22 years, so she’s a part of the band. By that token, a song with her vocals is a very reassuring thing for our audience. It says: Above & Beyond are back, in a very recognizable form“. You will have heard it at ABGT600, since it was arguably the most emotional track of the entire night.
Zoë, the angelical voice in charge of the sung magic behind ‘Quicksand’, says: “I think most of us can relate to that feeling of desperation and dread when it comes to losing someone we love so deeply. The despair can be massive when you’re watching the grief rattle down the track toward you for quite some time before the moment of impact actually happens. Disappearing into quicksand. It’s scary, it hurts, and it’s lonely. Hopefully, a song like this will make anyone going through the pain of a seismic loss feel a little bit less alone“.
Bigger Than All Of Us, the new album from Above & Beyond, will be released on July 18 on Anjunabeats. The album is available to pre-order on vinyl and CD, limited edition coloured vinyl, and picture disc via the Anjuna Music Store. Pre-order the Vinyl, CD, and limited merch bundles right here.
And someone please send me online shop recommendations for tissues, because I anticipate I’ll need to be fully stacked up by July. I’m already a bit teary-eyed.

[EDM.com] Above & Beyond Announce First Album in Seven Years, "Bigger Than All Of Us"

Above & Beyond are set to make their long-awaited return with their fifth studio album, Bigger Than All Of Us, their first in seven years.
The influential trance trio comprising Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki and Tony McGuinness will release the album's first single, "Quicksand (Don't Go)" on March 21st. The track marks a return to the group's roots and is being touted as "the comeback of Above & Beyond," according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
During their time away from collective album projects, the members pursued individual creative endeavors. Grant collaborated with Darren Tate on the synthwave project JODA, Siljamäki released his stunning Deeper Tales album under his P.O.S. alias and McGuinness produced an album of his own, Salt.
Luke Dyson
"Quicksand (Don't Go)" debuted during Above & Beyond's sold-out Group Therapy 600 broadcast in Mexico last October. The record reunites them with longtime collaborator Zoë Johnston, who has been working with the band for 22 years as the voice behind a slew of their most prized anthems, like "Love Is Not Enough" and "We're All We Need."
"It's classic Zoë Johnston," the band stated. "A song with her vocals is a very reassuring thing for our audience. It says: Above & Beyond are back, in a very recognizable form."
The new single is one of a number of collaborations promised for Bigger Than All Of Us. Above & Beyond teased that the album will feature both familiar collaborators and "new storytellers."
"This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is," the group said in a joint statement. "The realization of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It's not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens."
Bigger Than All Of Us is scheduled to release July 18th via Above & Beyond's record label, Anjunabeats. Fans can now pre-order vinyl, CD and limited merch bundles.

[EDM.com] BLNK CNVS Is Redefining Miami Music Week and Beyond

Miami Music Week is a breeding ground for innovation, and no one embodies that spirit more than BLNK CNVS.
Born out of the beloved Life In Color events, BLNK CNVS rebranded to redefine their scope far beyond paint parties, setting their sights on innovating Miami’s electronic music scene. What started as a single series of events during Miami Music Week has now evolved into one of the most dominant promotion powerhouses in the Southeast, organizing nearly 30 events during this year's edition alone.
"The core values for BLNK CNVS really come down to curating incredible experiences for fans by booking the best talent and providing the highest level of production," BLNK CNVS co-founder Paul Reed tells EDM.com. "We want to do things right and make sure fans have the time of their life no matter which of our seven venues you are in for MMW."
"We always try and do the right thing," adds co-founder Eric Fuller. "I've been doing shows and events in Florida for nearly 15 years and our team has years of experience in Florida, especially Miami where many of us were a part of Life In Color. It's not easy to do this many events in a week, but those years of experience in the market have allowed us to put the proper team together to execute."
BLNK CNVS has been behind some of the summit's biggest performances in recent years, like the first-ever b2b set between Zeds Dead and Subtronics, the debut Kaskade b2b Alison Wonderland performance, the first U.S. appearance for Third Party since 2017 with Audien, and the first open-to-close set with Markus Schulz. The brand also ushered in the beloved Brownies & Lemonade parties in Miami.
One early watershed moment to which Reed points is the first-ever b2b DJ set between Adam Beyer and Cirez D (an alias of Eric Prydz, back in 2018 at Miami's Soho Studios. "The show sold out so fast we thought the ticketing broke," he recalls. Old-timers are still talking about it."
BLNK CNVS
Beyond Miami, BLNK CNVS is expanding its footprint across the Southeast. They’ve formed strategic partnerships with major venues like Decca Live in Jacksonville and Celine Nightclub in Orlando, further strengthening their presence in Florida. Additionally, their influence now reaches Nashville after the successful launch of their NYE party "To The Future," showcasing their commitment to shaping the next era of live music events.
"Opening venues and expanding to new markets outside of South Florida really came out of necessity and acting on opportunities," Fuller explains. "We are an independent company and prior to Covid I really started to think about where dance music was headed. The reality is: to be an independent dance music promoter is pretty much impossible today. So while we have expanded the BLNK CNVS brand, I'm really most proud that we have taken our years of knowledge, connections and experience, and been able to apply that to new opportunities and ventures."
This year’s MMW is no different. Kicking off next week, BLNK CNVS will host 29 official parties at Nautilus Sonesta Hotel, MAD Club, Wynwood Marketplace Mana 320, and Surfcomber Hotel. Attendees can look forward to the Prodigy Welcome Party on Wednesday and Tape B Block Party on Thursday afternoon followed by a massive Deadbeats vs. Cyclops Recordings throwdown on Thursday night, a hotly anticipated Brownies & Lemonade showcase on Friday, Anjunadeep Open Air party on Saturday, an all-night drum & bass celebration on Sunday, and more.
With a vision of being a true blank canvas for innovative experiences, BLNK CNVS continues to redefine nightlife in the Magic City. For more information and tickets to BLNK CNVS' Miami Music Week 2025 events, navigate here.

[EDM.com] Meet Yuuki Yoshiyama, the Nightlife Vet Powering Japan's Electronic Music Expansion

Yuuki Yoshiyama has long been a fixture in Japan’s electronic music sector, but his influence now extends well beyond its borders.
A veteran of nearly three decades in music, events and business development, he has become a pivotal figure in shaping the country’s nightlife and entertainment economy. Currently Music & Entertainment Director at W Osaka, Yoshiyama also advises across industries—consulting for over 30 companies across hospitality, art, blockchain and UHNW services—cementing his role as a linchpin of Japan’s evolving cultural and business ecosystem.
Yoshiyama's roots in electronic music go back to 1996, when he launched his artist project. He blossomed into an accomplished DJ and music producer, performing across 15 countries from the US and UK to Thailand and Indonesia. Flexing his versatility behind the decks, he's shifted between house, techno and trance, a fluidity that earned him support slots for electronic music heavyweights like Eric Prydz, FISHER and MEDUZA.
More recently in 2018 and 2019, Yoshiyama became the only Japanese artist to play EDC Las Vegas, delivering standout performances at one of the world's largest EDM festivals. And on the music production side, tracks like "Trickster" (a Top 10 hit on Traxsource) and "Rise Up" (released on Mark Knight's iconic Toolroom Records) have reinforced his status as a global dancefloor tastemaker.
But Yoshiyama’s footprint is far greater than his DJ booth. As Executive Director of EDC Japan from 2017-2019, he helped import the Insomniac brand to a domestic audience of 250,000. More recently, he has steered GMO SONIC, Japan's largest arena-based electronic music festival, drawing over 120,000 fans in three years with lineups featuring Skrillex, Zedd, Martin Garrix and Peggy Gou.
Where Japan's nightlife goes next remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: as Yoshiyama's legacy continues to take shape, his name remains etched in its DNA.

[EDM.com] Watch Foster the People Drop Dubstep Music in Surprise Afterparty DJ Set

Indie-rock stars Foster the People have been making noise in an unexpected new space lately: dubstep.
The band recently stepped behind the decks for a surprise afterparty DJ set, in which they dropped dubstep records like Taiki Nulight's hit remix of Hamdi’s "Counting." Videos of the performance have surfaced on social media and Foster the People are now leaning into the idea of more: "We started doing afters on tour… and now we want to keep them going. Where should we go next?"
Subtronics, known for his own wonky dubstep tracks, commented on the band's video, showing support and surprise at the band's new direction. Even Shaquille O'Neal, who produces and performs electronic music as DJ Diesel, commented: "This is my formal invitation for y'all to play a Shaq’s Bass All-Stars event. You’re gonna love it."
Recent videos show Foster the People playing DJ sets in Philly, Mexico City and at Brooklyn’s Public Records. The performances, which included tracks like 4B and Viperactive's "Throw It Back," showcased a much different musical range from the band, proving their versatility beyond indie hits like "Sit Next to Me."
The burning question on fans' minds: will Foster the People bring their new DJ persona to afters at upcoming summer festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza? If their recent foray and fan feedback are any indication, it seems likely.
You can watch the band's video below.

[EDM.com] ALLEYCVT Moves Past the Pain in Ferocious Dubstep Track, "STRANGERS"

ALLEYCVT is back with a new track, "STRANGERS," a battle cry for those trying to move on from their pain.
It's the first single of the year for the rising electronic music star, who was recently named to the EDM.com Class of 2025 alongside Tape B, Max Styler and others.
"STRANGERS" begins with haunting keys beneath moody synths as her powerful vocals take the fore, ultimately leading into a seismic, pounding dubstep drop. The final result is another anthemic offering from ALLEYCVT, whose blend of emotive songwriting and heavy-hitting production has catapulted her as one of the most electrifying up-and-comers in the bass music world.
She said she wants her fans to find their own meaning in the lyrics of "STRANGERS," which she characterized as harnessing "endless" interpretations.
"It could be about not recognizing yourself anymore for whatever reason, and reflecting on that," ALLEYCVT said in a statement. "It also could be about another person that you once knew, that now feels like a stranger. A breakup, addiction, giving too much of yourself to somebody or something… The limits are endless and I want everyone to interpret the song in a way that speaks to them."
We recently caught up with the triple-threat DJ, producer and singer-songwriter for an intimate interview to discuss the highs of lows of her breakneck rise and journey to performing on some of the world's biggest festival stages. She also revealed the impending release of her debut EP, FEEL IT.
Listen to "STRANGERS" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

[GrooveCartel] Mochakk unveils groundbraking festival “Mochakk Calling Festival”

Brazilian superstar Mochakk announced the first-ever “Mochakk Calling Festival.” This will be the first time that his popular event series has been turned into a full-on musical journey that will take place this summer on Malta’s sunny shores.
This intimate two-day festival, set against the stunning Mediterranean, is sure to become a must-see for electronic music fans, with a carefully chosen cast that covers the emotional and sonic range of the genre.
The festival, which is set for July 26–27, 2025, is more than just another event in the summer calendar; it’s the conclusion of Mochakk’s meteoric rise and the turning of his vision into a real, immersive experience. The large outdoor space picked for this event, Ta’ Qali, will become a temporary autonomous zone where the lines between artist and audience blur under the Mediterranean stars.
The festival is intentionally limited to 5,000 people, which creates a level of closeness that isn’t common in electronic music today. This produces the kind of real connection that has become Mochakk’s trademark at all of his sold-out global events.
The lineup for the event is like an emotional trip through the hottest currents in electronic music: Bonobo‘s transcendent, atmospheric compositions will talk to Seth Troxler‘s raw, underground sounds. Honey Dijon‘s pulsing house beats will mix with Mall Grab‘s textures that don’t fit into any one genre. The event also has a unique, experimental back-to-back set by Mochakk and DJ Swisha, an experimental producer. Their work together is sure to create new soundscapes.
Other big names at the festival are Dixon, whose hypnotic progressions have defined a generation of dance floors, Desiree, whose emotive choices keep making her famous, and Todd Terje, whose disco-infused productions bring happy memories of the past into the present.
