An Avicii Musical Is in the Works From the Owners of His Catalog

The legacy of Avicii, one of EDM's most influential artists, will soon grace a different type of stage.
Pophouse Entertainment is reportedly developing a musical about the late DJ after purchasing a majority stake in his music catalog back in 2022. That's according to the company's Brand & Marketing Director, Kim Nyström, who said it's been working with Avicii's estate on a long-term brand strategy.
"Our job is to make sure that we have an ongoing brand mission that is talking to fans, that is engaging over time," Nyström told Axios. "Brand engagement will always make sure that the creative projects happen. The stronger the brand, the more people actually want to work with us."
Pophouse is also behind "The Avicii Experience," the Stockholm-based museum built in honor of Avicii, who tragically died by suicide in April 2018. It's important to note that the company has not formally announced the Avicii musical at the time of this writing.
Although Avicii passed away over six years ago, his music has continued to live on. A new documentary about his life is soon premiering at this year's Tribeca Festival and another is in the works from the Academy Award-winning film producer Lawrence Bender.
Pophouse Entertainment did not immediately respond to EDM.com's request for comment on the musical.

Hard House Legend BK Strikes Back With ‘No Fool’

We’ve got an exciting release from quite the mastermind of the entire Dance movement.
Every now and then, between a sea of newcomers and current chart toppers, it’s so refreshing to see veteran acts still putting out top-notch music. We’ve had quality tunes from a handful of established acts lately, anywhere from Ferry Corsten rediscovering Old School Trance, to Orbital remixing ‘Café Del Mar’. Well, the industry welcomes yet another class name with a pristine release.
BK
Photo credit: JMA Photography. Ben Keen, known professionally as BK, is a Dance legend. From his early days in London studios to his Trade Club residency, he’s been at the very forefront of the Electronic sound for ages. His sound can be dissected into a handful of bridges between elements of Trance and Techno, in any decade you wish to pinpoint.
A true don of the scene, BK’s been a driving force behind the harder sound since it first thumped out of clubs. His timeless bangers, like the classics ‘Music Is Moving‘ and ‘Revolution‘ — a personal favourite —, still get dancefloors moving for a new generation of DJs. From Marlon Hoffstadt and Ben Hemsley to Ammara and Patrick Topping, his influence is everywhere, solidifying his reputation as a tastemaker of the highest order.
What’s more, Keen remains a dominant force to this day, having some doof releases on the horizon, plus fresh singles on Bebé and Armada, and collaborations with industry titans like James Hurr, Ammara, and Reinier Zonneveld. He’s one of those artists who have remained timeless, yet still true to their very essence.
‘No Fool’
The latest instalment in BK’s discography is nothing short of impressive. Crafted for the dancefloors — from the darkest clubs to the most packed arenas —, ‘No Fool‘ blends the best House vibes with the fast pace and high intensity of Techno, and sprinkles a bit of that banging Trance percussive dynamism that could heal a soul. Released on Hannah Laing’s imprint doof, this one feels like a full-circle moment for both Ben and Hannah.
“I have taken so much inspiration from the hard house legend BK’s old catalogue! To have him releasing a modern Hard House tune on doof is a dream come true”, says Laing. And on the other side of the ring, Keen recalls, “A pleasure to be releasing on one of my favourite labels around at the minute. Hannah was the first person to test this record so doof is the perfect home for it“.

This Was: EDC Las Vegas 2024

The 13th edition of EDC Las Vegas took place from May 17th to May 19th, 2024, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With an attendance of 500,000, the festival featured nine stages, five art cars, and the magic that is EDC’s signature – three enchanting nights filled with immersive art installations, carnival rides, street performers, and firework shows. It was truly a weekend to remember, creating core memories and an abundance of fun.
EDC Week
Before jumping into the festival itself, it’s important to note that EDC events are not only confined to the actual festival weekend but rather, the fun starts on Wednesday (for me the previous Saturday but that was a personal choice!). In the days leading up to EDC, the city is taken over by pool parties, club events, pop up shops, and ravers taking over the streets. I even heard EDM at the airport on Tuesday on my flight home.
As for the official EDC Week events, I kicked off my festival week with the Basscon Pool Party. If you’ve been following my reviews for a while now, you know my heart beats at 200 beats per minute, so Basscon was the perfect way to get hype for EDC. The Basscon Pool Party took place on Thursday, May 16th at the Downtown Grand Circus Ground Pool Deck. The rooftop pool party consisted of a larger-than-life view of the Las Vegas strip, delicious daiquiris and other frozen cocktails, beach balls and plenty of lounge beds and beach chairs around the pool to enjoy the party from multiple vantage points. As the party took place during the day, there was also a covered area with fans, and stands selling sunglasses, fans, sunscreen and other essentials to stay safe in the 93-degree weather (34 Celsius).
The Basscon line up consisted of Atmozfears, Clawz, Death Code, Hixxy, Sound Rush, and Warface. The line up was a great mix of Hardstyle, Happy Hardcore/UK Hardcore, Rawstyle, and Uptempo. Behind the stage was a large LED screen with visuals synced to the music, adding an extra layer of entertainment. I ended up not bringing my earplugs to the pool party, thinking that the party would not be loud, which was a rookie mistake. Who thought Hardstyle could be loud? Lessons learned.
Getting There
As this was my first EDC Vegas (although I’ve attended two editions of EDC New York in 2012 and 2014 and two editions of EDC Orlando in 2022 and 2023) I had no idea what to expect when it came to navigating Vegas or how to get to and from the festival safely. With so many options to choose from, camping, ride share apps, shuttle services (even helicopters!) I decided to leave all the planning to One N Only Entertainment, especially as I was coming from the Netherlands, which was already quite a trek.
One N Only Entertainment provides an all-inclusive resort experience for festivals around the world. With hotel takeovers, pool parties, breakfast, shuttle services with unlimited drinks, and official representatives to help you every step of the way, my travel and lodging experience was extremely comfortable. This year, One N Only took over the Serene Vegas Boutique Hotel, situated just a few minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, getting to and from the hotel to EDC was mostly easy. There were three options of departure times both to and from the festival, and the shuttle experience was a blast between the drinks, the music, and the overall energy (especially on day one!).
Although this was my first EDC Vegas, I had been warned about the traffic and sometimes long wait times to enter the festival. Each day we arrived between 5:45 PM and 7:15 PM, however attendees were not permitted to enter the festival until 6:45/7:00 PM, so on the days we did arrive early we had to wait outside in heat for sometimes up to an hour before entering. However, if we were to leave later, we would have hit traffic plus had longer wait times to enter the festival so if I had to make a recommendation for those planning on attending, get there early if you can. EDC Las Vegas is massive so allowing yourself enough time to enter the festival is key, otherwise you blink and it’s already nighttime!
On Friday and Saturday, we left the festival around 5:30 AM and returned to the hotel around 7:30 AM, between the long walk to the shuttle (and up a lot of stairs), waiting for the shuttle and the trip home. On Sunday (Monday morning), we left around 5:30 AM and did not return to the hotel until 9:00 AM. I later realized this was due to the fact there was a Grateful Dead concert happening the same weekend plus Monday morning traffic. For reference, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is approximately 18 miles (28 kilometers) from the Serene Vegas Boutique Hotel. So be prepared on the final night to either leave early to beat the traffic, or just accept it and take a nap on the way home. For those who had flights that same day, it was rough, so another tip, try to fly out late Tuesday if you can.
The main takeaway from all of this is the Speedway is in a remote location, which is of course understandable because where else can you hold 500,000 people in a major city. Regardless of where you stay (unless you decide to camp – unfortunately I’m 33 and have been doing this for 16 years and have hip and back pain so camping is not an option for me anymore), account for the travel time and be prepared to walk (I walked about 47,000 steps each day).
Venue
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is located about 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip, in a remote dessert location. The racetrack when it’s not hosting EDC is the home to major NASCAR races. The entire grounds encompass 1,000 acres of land. For EDC, the festival utilities both the infield area inside the oval track, the stands where you can get an epic view of the festival, and the exterior grounds surrounding the track.
When the sun is up you have a beautiful view of the colossal mountains, and again living in a flat country, it was a treat to see mountains again. Overall, the venue is equipped to host a major event such as EDC, however at moments the festival did feel overcrowded and hard to navigate. My favorite part of the venue was having an aerial view from the stands of the festival. During some of the more crowded sets, sitting in the stands allowed for a bit of rest while still enjoying the show. In summary, the massive acreage and pre-built motorsports facility provide an ideal layout to contain the large scale of EDC with minimal noise and light impact on the residential areas.
Food & Drinks
When it comes to food and drinks at EDC, there was diverse assortment of international cuisine including bulgogi steak, hibachi, and even charcuterie boards!
My favorite out of everything I ate at EDC was the taco platter at the VIP area near Circuit Grounds. This in my opinion was the best bang for your buck as it was filling – three tacos of your choice (I went for asada, pastor, and chicken), chips and salsa for $20.
Here is a short break down of some of the prices:
Mac N Cheese ($20) Pizza by the slice ($12) Jumbo corn dog and fries (vegan option also available) ($18) Fried chicken skewer and fries ($18) Chicken tenders and fries ($20) Lemonade ($10) Water ($5) Soda ($6) Sandwiches (cheese steak, Italian, turkey, and veggie) ($16) Chips and cookies ($4) Beer ($18) White Claw ($18) Dumplings ($15) Fish and chips ($15) Cotton candy ($9) Cocktails ranged between $16 and $30 The cost for food and drinks didn’t shock me as they were comparable to EDC Orlando or other festivals of this size that I’ve attended since the pandemic. There were of course plenty of other options and price ranges, including at the special lounges such as the Marquee SkyDeck (which includes bottle service and a golf cart ride to your table).
I found there to be a much greater assortment of food than drinks. Many of the drink stands were the same also at points they ran out of water and White Claw. Shout out to the one bartender who went to another stand to find me a White Claw!
Stages
kineticFIELD
The mainstage, kineticFIELD was a larger-than-life stage consisting of stained glass, organs, and mosaic tiles. Think of it like a cathedral but for EDM. The stage hosted a myriad of genres including progressive house, bass, tech house, techno, and bass music. The VIP area included a multi-level viewing deck that allowed for an amazing view of the stage and the fireworks.
circuitGROUNDS
The second largest stage at EDC was circuitGROUNDS. This stage also hosted a wide range of artists and genres including but not limited to SLANDER, Eric Prdyz, John Summit, Peggy Gou, Martin Garrix, Seven Lions, Excision, and Timmy Trumpet. What sets circuitGROUNDS from the other stages is the fact that the vibe there was extremely futuristic. From an arcade in VIP, to a body sensory art installation, to a water maze, this stage transformed ravers to the next dimension.
cosmicMEADOW
When entering the festival, the first stage you see is cosmicMEADOW. This stage was a colorful lotus flower with geometric shapes incorporated into the stage design. As for the lineup, this was the place for experimental sounds, disco, and drum and bass. The best part of this stage was the fact that you could sit in the stands and watch the show, I did this for part of Deorro because it was so crowded. Having a comfortable seat with an epic view and space is always key at those moments in the festival when you’re having a blast but need to take some rest.
bassPOD
If bass music is your thing, then bassPOD is for you. Serving explosive industrial plant vibes, this stage hosted some of the biggest names in bass music including NGHTMRE, Zomboy, Subtronics b2b LEVEL UP (Dubstep’s cutest power couple!), and Svdden Death.
neonGARDEN
If the underground rave scene is your thing, then neonGARDEN was the place to be! This dark stage encompassed by large containers was the home for Techno. My favorite moment from neonGARDEN was Indira Paganotto’s set on Sunday, I was exhausted but couldn’t stop dancing. At one point I went to wait in line for the Ferris Wheel and didn’t even mind waiting a hour because I had a clear view of neonGARDEN and the epic sounds of the underground.
quantumVALLEY
Situated next to neonGARDEN with a shared VIP space, quantumVALLEY hosted by Dreamstate was a mecca for Trance music throughout the weekend. What I loved the most about quantumVALLEY was the amount of psytrance represented at EDC, especially two of my favorites, Blastoyz and Infected Mushroom. The visuals at this stage were the best in my opinion, with screens projecting trippy visuals perfectly aligned to the music and the vibe of the stage.
stereoBLOOM
Hosted by Insomniac Records, steroBLOOM hosted some of the biggest names in the Electronic Music scene in a more intimate setting than the other stages at EDC. Nestled by Daisy Lane, the stereoBLOOM stage was centered around a circular screen supported by metal tubes.
wasteLAND
Of course, my favorite stage at EDC was wasteLAND. This was the stage for the harder styles with many heavy hitters in the Hard Dance scene such as Sub-Zero Project, Lil Texas, and Da Tweekaz. This stage was comprised of shipping containers with vertical screens projecting images, this stage really lit up the sky while simultaneously making the ground shake.
bionicJUNGLE
The newest edition to EDC, bionicJUNGLE, erected in 2022, is just as it sounds like a literal jungle. When you first enter EDC after descending the stairs by cosmicMEADOW, this small intimate stage enclosed with plants and trees made you feel as if you’ve been transported to Tulum to a rave in the jungle.
Art Cars
In addition to the diverse selection of music at each of the nine stages, the EDC brand is also best known for its art cars. This year there were five art cars: Blacklight Bar, House of Dunkin (they even had free coffee!), Meta Phoenix, Rynobus, and Beatbox Boombox Art Car. My favorite moment from the art cars was seeing James Kennedy from my favorite reality show Vanderpump Rules rock the Rynobus on Friday night.
Downtown EDC
What sets EDC apart from the countless other festivals I’ve attended around the world in the last 16 years, is Downtown EDC. At the center of the festival is an area with small night clubs and special events such as a wedding chapel (where people can get really married!), a karaoke bar, a mini club playing only disco, and the newest edition YeeDC which a saloon playing crossover EDM and country music.
Music
Maddix
The massive kineticFIELD stage was packed to the brim as Dutch DJ/producer Maddix took the decks on Friday evening. Hailing from the Netherlands’ fertile electronic music scene, Maddix brought his hard-hitting sound to EDC’s main stage. The energy was electric as he dropped tracks like the high-octane “Adrenalina (Minha Gasolina)” and the thumping “Heute Nacht.” Despite being a relatively new name, the young Dutchman commanded the kineticFIELD like a seasoned veteran, proving he deserves his place among the EDM elite on one of the world’s biggest festival stages. Maddix’s primetime set was undoubtedly a standout and a breakthrough moment for the rising star.
Blastoyz
For psytrance fans, Blastoyz’s set at the quantumVALLEY stage was transcendental. The Israeli DJ/producer ushered the crowd into a psychedelic cosmic journey with pulsating beats and mind-bending visuals. Brilliant blue lasers danced across the stage as intricate mandala patterns provided the mesmerizing backdrop. Blastoyz didn’t hold back, dropping psytrance remixes of bangers like “Exploration of Space,” “Cinema,” “In the End,” and “Sun and Moon” that sent waves of euphoria through the audience.
The screens displayed kaleidoscopic geometry and trippy visuals straight out of a interstellar odyssey. For those on the same vibe, Blastoyz’s set was utterly hypnotic – a highlight of the weekend that transported festivalgoers to another dimension through the raw power of psytrance. The cosmic explorers at quantumVALLEY were undoubtedly treated to a stellar experience under Blastoyz’s guidance.
Creeds
The gritty, post-apocalyptic vibe of the wasteLAND stage set the perfect backdrop as Creeds and Helen Ka delivered an unforgettable performance. The French producer Creeds was an unrelenting force behind the decks, seamlessly blending punishing Techno, Hardstyle, Rawstyle and Uptempo across the Hard Dance spectrum.
His epic mixes like the anthemic “Too Cold” and classic “Enfants de La Rave” had the crowd going insane. But it was the addition of Helen Ka’s soaring live vocals that truly elevated the set into the cinematic realm. The singer’s powerful voice layered an operatic element as she commanded the stage with Creeds’ thunderous production behind her. It was a masterful fusion of vocal talent and DJ prowess that transported the wasteLAND into a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk battleground soundtracked by their dark, dramatic synergy.
Lost Frequencies
On the final night of EDC, the massive kineticFIELD turned into a sea of thousands swaying in unison when Belgian DJ/producer Lost Frequencies took the decks. The melodic house master seamlessly mixed his intimate radio hits with pounding techno and drum and bass rhythms. Singalongs erupted as Lost Frequencies dropped fan favorites like “Reality,” “Just Wanna Know” and “Jour Meilleur.” But he also provided a tantalizing preview of his newest sounds, debuting the emotive “In My Bones”. With its combination of hard-hitting beats and uplifting energy, Lost Frequencies‘ dynamic set showcased his ability to captivate the biggest of festival stages. From diehard dance music fans to casual radio listeners, everyone was united in the moment under this spellbinding soundtrack.
Martin Garrix
While not the mainstage of kineticFIELD, the circuitGROUNDS stage was overflowing with fans eager to witness Dutch superstar Martin Garrix’s performance. Garrix showed off his masterful big room sound, dropping anthems like “Hurricane,” his breakthrough hit “Animals,” and vocal banger “In my Mind.” But the most poignant moment came when he played his collaboration with the late Avicii, “Waiting for Love.” As the wistful chords filled the air, it became a powerful tribute to the iconic Swedish DJ’s memory and their friendship. A nostalgic hush fell over the audience as thousands of lights swayed in bittersweet remembrance. This unforgettable set showcased his status as more than just a hitmaker, but a voice for an entire generation of EDM fans.
Final Impressions
If I were to sum up EDC Las Vegas in one word it would be magical. From the diverse line up, to state-of-the-art sound and visuals, to the lights illuminating the Electric Sky, EDC had something for everyone. What I most appreciated was all the small touches, the tiny details from Pixel Forest to the on-site barber shop, to Memory Lane, to the Trinket Trading area, and of course the fact that you could see the fireworks from any stage. At most festivals the firework show takes place on the mainstage, during EDC every night of the weekend fireworks illuminated the sky, sometimes when you weren’t even expecting it.
I also need to mention Insomnaic’s commitment to safety. As always End Overdose was present at EDC, which today is so important to educate and prepare ravers for emergency situations. EDC’s Ground Control was also active checking on party goers to ensure everyone was having a fun and safe time. There were also plenty of free water refill stations which is of course necessary in the scorching Vegas heat. The only aspect of the festival that felt unsafe was the flow of the crowd at the peak of Saturday and Sunday nights between kineticFIELD and circuitGROUNDS. During these moments the festival felt too crowded and with recent trample incidents in the music scene, these types of situations need to be carefully assessed and controlled either by additional pathways, strategic line up adjustments (even though no one likes set time conflicts it does help to split the crowd), or by having security assist in leading the crowd.
All in all, EDC is one of those festivals that will have a lasting impact. The vibes and creativity in all the stage designs, it was sensory overload in the best way. There’s an indescribable magic that permeates the air at EDC Las Vegas, a feeling that can only be understood when you walk up those stairs for the first time, it’s truly breathtaking. For those three incomparable nights, the real world and all its problems melt away as you lose yourself in euphoria. EDC Is more than just a festival, it’s a mind-altering escape that I 100% need to experience again.

How the City of Amsterdam is Planning to Destroy Its Legendary Festival Scene

For decades, Amsterdam has been world-renowned as one of the premier destinations for music festivals and celebration of arts and culture. The city’s name is synonymous with vibrancy, open-mindedness, and progressivism – values embraced and embodied by the countless festivals that take place here every year.
From the bass-thumping electronic dance parties like Awakenings to the eclectic multi-genre offerings of DGTL, Amsterdam’s festival calendar is a year-round showcase of boundary-pushing creativity. These events don’t just attract attendees locally but draw massive audiences from around the globe who flock here to experience the Amsterdam vibe.
More than just economic drivers, festivals are an integral part of the social fabric and cultural heritage of the city. They are the places where people celebrate art, music, self-expression, and free thought. They are monuments to the progressive ideals and individual freedoms that we in the Netherlands hold so dear.
Amsterdam’s new festival policy
That’s why the municipality’s new policy towards festivals is so misguided and threatens to do irreparable harm to Amsterdam’s international standing and community spirit. Under these new rules, festival organizers would have to wait until the end of 2024 to find out if their 2025 events will be approved and permitted. This extreme uncertainty makes properly planning and staging festivals a practical impossibility.
Any experienced event organizer will tell you that putting on a major festival requires at least 12-18 months of lead time. Holding dates, booking artists, securing venues, arranging suppliers, contractors, security personnel and countless other logistics is an incredibly intricate process that can’t just be thrown together a few months out. Having to work under a cloud of doubt whether all that time and money being invested will be for naught is untenable.
Why this new policy is just bad
As a result, this policy will likely force many long-running, established festivals to cancel or scale back dramatically leading to major economic impacts. The festivals unable to secure permits will lose out on millions in potential revenue. And all the auxiliary businesses – hotels, restaurants, transportation providers, etc. – that benefit from the tourism spending around festivals will take a major hit as well.
But it’s not just about money – this policy represents a body blow to Amsterdam’s culture and civic identity. Amsterdam has always pride itself on being a place that values free expression, progressivism, and pushing boundaries. Festivals embody and celebrate those ideas, bringing people of all backgrounds together in a spirit of unity, adventure, and uninhibited creativity. Allowing bureaucratic red tape to disrupt that grand tradition is anathema to what Amsterdam is all about.
Of course, it’s not like festival operators have been bad actors. Event organizers go to extensive lengths to be good neighbors and partners with the city. They have robust systems in place to limit noise, crowding, and environmental impact while stringently following security protocols to ensure attendee safety. This avoids any undue burden on surrounding communities.
Taking an arbitrary, indiscriminate approach to instituting new policies penalizes organizations that have consistently demonstrated a commitment to operating responsibly and providing a positive cultural impact. It’s doubly concerning that experienced organizers are the ones being most threatened by having to acquire permits at the last minute. Their hard-earned institutional knowledge around safety planning and operations will be tough for less seasoned groups to replicate under rushed timelines.

But why this policy?
You have to wonder if this policy is being driven by the misguided assumption that Amsterdam is becoming over-saturated with too many overlapping festivals. That’s an extremely short-sighted view that fails to account for festivals’ unique offerings and target audiences. There’s zero risk of cannibalizing fanbases when events lean into distinctly different vibes and programming.
Diversity of experiences is what strengthens scenes and drives more tourism. Amsterdam shouldn’t be in the business of arbitrarily picking winners and losers, but fostering an environment where creativity can flourish across different mediums and scenes. That growth mindset is what cements Amsterdam’s global relevance and makes us an aspirational destination.
Tampering with the festival economy could have far-reaching ripple effects beyond just events themselves. Many artists, DJs, vendors, and creatives rely on the income from festival circuits to sustain themselves. Jeopardizing those revenue streams weakens the entire infrastructure that powers Amsterdam’s artistic community.
Let’s save Amsterdam’s festival scene. Sign the petition!
People in Amsterdam have been the beneficiaries of the city’s progressive, open mindset that embraces different cultures and modes of creative expression. Don’t let this regressive policy destroy a civic legacy the city has rightly earned and enjoyed for generations.
Sign the petition and demand the municipality stop waging war on festivals and the values they represent. Amsterdam’s identity depends on it.

The Bluetooth 5.0 enabled Pyramid amplifier is designed with a special wave-balanced “analogue sound spectrum”. It has been carefully formulated to sound pleasing to the ear with a warm clean sound shaped to limit “ear fatigue”, a problem encountered with many modern sound systems.

This newly designed amp is eco-friendly, cool-running and highly efficient. It has a beautifully made wooden cabinet with a white piano finish and a prism at the top which subtly glows indicating the mode of operation.

The Bluetooth pairing connectivity provides a quick and universal connection to all music services. It has RCA and Aux 3.5mm inputs, for use with turntables and CD players. The Pyramid amp is also perfect to pair with a TV for a great-sounding alternative to a soundbar. Volume is controlled by a distinctive knob on the front of the Pyramid amp with discrete treble and bass controls at the rear of the unit; allowing users to personalise their sound. There is also a left-right channel balancing dial and a Bluetooth reset button.
The two paired speakers have been engineered to deliver a clean warm sound. The 1” soft silk dome tweeters provide a perfect balance at the top end, whilst refined reflex ports and improved speaker cone excursion give a smooth pleasing transitional bass response at the bottom end with special care given to the mid spread.

The Orange Pyramid system has been outwardly designed as a work of art that will suit any décor and has the company’s signature hieroglyphs around the base. To find out more please go to orangessentials.com/.

David August returns with ‘WORKOUTS’ EP

Composer, producer, and pianist David August returns to the dance floor after over two years with ‘WORKOUTS’ EP, released on June 14. This follows his sold-out multidisciplinary ‘VĪS’ shows at London’s Barbican, Berlin’s Volksbühne, Paris’s Le Trianon, Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw, and more
‘WORKOUTS’ EP builds on last year’s ‘VĪS’ album, focusing on rhythmic elements distinct from its predecessor. While ‘VĪS’ examined movement metaphysically, ‘WORKOUTS’ makes it physical, connecting ancient drum patterns with contemporary club forms. This is August’s first dancefloor-driven project since 2020’s ‘Reminiscence of a Jewel,’ reconciling with his past and influenced by collaborations with Turkish vocalist Cansu Tanrikulu and Carnatic singer Sushma Soma, stirring rhythms that uncover instinctive bonds between humanity and technology, ancient history, and the Anthropocene
The ‘VĪS’ website is a collaboration with Egozen Collective and Moroccan visual artist Hiba Baddou, showcasing intricate patterns and symbols using procedural graphics and text-based visual filters.
David August’s evolution from classical pianist to dance music pioneer to his richer, more diverse, multidisciplinary, and cross-cultural sonic landscapes of today is marked by collaborations with the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin, Max Cooper, and Bunita Marcus, and performances at major venues and festivals like Primavera Sound, Sónar, Montreux Jazz Festival, London’s Roundhouse, Berlin’s Columbiahalle, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, and more.
David August’s label, 99CHANTS, established in 2018, reinterprets ancient and medieval poetry for today’s audiences, collaborating with artists like KMRU, Kareem Lotfy, Ron Trent, Lena Platonos, Giulio Aldinucci, and Louis Sterling. The label emphasizes environmental sustainability and representation, culminating with its 99th release.

Arcadia is one of Glastonbury‘s most-famous stages at each edition of the festival for the nearly the past couple decades. The Arcadia stage started running on renewable energy at last year’s edition and during the last FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the tournament organizers even hired the fire-breathing, spider-like stage to host live music performances there, especially DJ sets. At Glastonbury 2024, there will be a new arena coming from Arcadia. That arena from Arcadia is ‘The Dragonfly’ and according to an article from the Rolling Stone UK, the parts of the structure come from a former Royal Navy helicopter. Arcadia introducing ‘The Dragonfly’ is the second time it has changed arenas since it replaced the spider stage for the ‘Pangea’ crane at Glastonbury 2019. Furthermore, this stage will run on wind and solar energy, with batteries being charged off-site.
‘The Dragonfly’ of Arcadia signifies another memorable moment in Glastonbury history
During Glastonbury 2024, ‘The Dragonfly’ from Arcadia will open up with representatives of the Wadjuk Noongar nation from Australia who are conducting the Warraloo ceremony. This ceremony will mark the official establishment of ‘The Dragonfly’. Also, according to Mixmag, the stage’s debut will host the likes of Fatboy Slim, Eric Prydz, Amelie Lens, Andy C, Barry Can’t Swim, Joy Orbison, Shygirl, HAAi b2b KI/KI, Hedex b2b Bou, and many more. The addition of ‘The Dragonfly’ from Arcadia really signifies another memorable moment in Glastonbury history. Another thing is that ‘The Bug’ stage will also return to Arcadia although Glastonbury has not revealed the lineup as of yet. This year’s Glastonbury will occur on the weekend of June 26-30 and it will for sure bring out more unforgettable memories for anyone who attend, in particularly if they get to marvel at this new environmentally-friendly arena of Arcadia.

Green Velvet commanded the crowd
Green Velvet, a pioneering producer of dance music, stole the show with his recent remix of Sharam's "Party All The Time" alongside Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani. The crowd erupted as the first beats dropped and the energy only soared higher when he dropped "Lift Me Up," his collaboration with HI-LO, the underground alias of the prodigious Oliver Heldens. This track, a perfect embodiment of peak-time hour techno, had everyone on their feet and dancing relentlessly.
A stunning set by Italian techno maestro Marco Faraone
Marco Faraone proved his versatility once again. Known for his enchanting sets on the Terrace, he delivered a powerful techno set that resonated deeply.

Nina Kraviz's captivating performance
The Main Room was set ablaze with the arrival of Nina Kraviz, the Russian techno queen. Known for her ever-evolving sound, she explored a vast array of genres, from hardcore to funk carioca and even Latin tech house.
Her set was a journey through sound, captivating the crowd with hypnotic breaks and impeccable mixing. The track "La Tarde" echoed through the room, creating a communal moment of euphoria.

BT Condemns "Abhorrent" Misuse of AI in Music Technology

BT, one of electronic music's most respected voices on music technology, is openly criticizing the flagrant disregard for intellectual property rights by some AI companies.
Expressing his dismay at the unethical practices, he highlighted how some firms are leveraging text-to-music models by scraping content from platforms like Spotify and YouTube without obtaining consent from the original creators.
"There are very few companies respecting intellectual property rights in this space," the influential producer told MusicTech. "I find this an abhorrent misuse of this technology."
BT's insights carry significant weight due to his extensive contributions to music technology. The producer and technologist, who recently released his 15th studio album, has notably developed numerous plugins and tools that have become staples in the industry.
BT.Lacy Transeau
Despite these concerns, BT remains optimistic about AI's potential to benefit artists. He envisions a future where artists can unlock new revenue streams through consensual AI training on their work, per MusicTech.
BT's balanced perspective underscores the need for thoughtful regulation and community involvement in navigating the future of AI's impact on music technology. His vision for AI in the space is one of collaboration and respect, ensuring that technological advancements benefit all artists fairly and ethically.
"I'm thrilled about tools that will fairly reward artists they are trained on that unlock brand-new possibilities for young and seasoned artists alike… There are unimaginable future technologies that all artists, singers, producers and engineers will love to use because they do groundbreaking things they currently don’t have access to," he explained.
"The future is bright and we must as a community [musicians] proactively control and be involved in the narrative of what is acceptable, what is ethical and all couched in a reverence and respect for the large bodies of work created that are needed to train on for effective new tools. There is a lot to look forward to."

Man on Drugs Bites "Chunk" Out of Police Officer's Head at Florida EDM Festival: Report

A man high on drugs at Florida's Sol Fest attacked a police officer and "bit a chunk" out of his head, FOX 13 News reports.
The electronic dance music festival took place from Thursday, May 2nd to Sunday, May 5th at Vortex Spring, a venue in Ponce de Leon. Deputy Mark Harris of the Holmes County Sheriff's Office had been patrolling the grounds on the second night of Sol Fest when he says he was suddenly accosted by a festival attendee under the influence of drugs. 
It was a mix of PCP, LSD, ketamine and mushrooms that reportedly sent James Michael Anderson, a Vortex Springs volunteer, into a violent frenzy during which he bit into the officer's head. Anderson also attempted to grab his weapon, Harris said.
Holmes County Sheriff's Office
During the scuffle, Harris managed to draw his taser, but even the electrical charge seemed to have little effect on the drug-fueled Anderson, who continued to struggle. Backup then arrived and several deputies converged on the scene, wrestling Anderson to the ground and restraining him.
Both Anderson and Harris were reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital. Harris, with a chunk of his head missing, was in shock but stable. Anderson, still combative, was sedated and placed under arrest.
As the news of the attack spread, the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office released a statement detailing the incident. Anderson was ultimately charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.
