Mark Knight and James Hurr Work Together On ‘You Take Me Higher’

Mark Knight is a legend in the house music scene. He’s teamed up with James Hurr to make what looks like it will be one of the hottest club songs of the summer.
‘You Take Me Higher’ is their new tune, out on Toolroom Records.
Knight has had a lot of awesome high-profile collaborations in the past few months.
You may remember his works with Green Velvet and Darius Syrossian, two big names in the business.
Knight and Hurr looked back at house music history. This is how they came up with You Take Me Higher.
They used a vocal sample from Sandy Mercer. They kept the original soul of the song intact revisiting it in a modern setting.
Mark Knight and James Hurr layered it over a groove that mixes disco and house styles. The end result is said to be a lively, upbeat song that sounds perfect for summer festivals.
This partnership seems to show what each artist does best: make music that pays tribute to the genre’s roots while also moving it forward. When summer comes around, this song will probably be played on sound systems at clubs and events all over the world.

Tomorrowland 2024 set times: a tool to plan your festival

Tomorrowland has unveiled the full timetable for both 2024 weekends. It’s time to plan your festival experience.
With more than 800 artists over the three days, we know that the task is not as simple as it seems.
This is why we have tried to build something that, hopefully, will help everyone figure it out.
We know that there are already a hundred types of planners for Tomorrowland but, we have chosen to take a slightly different approach.
Most of the time they’re built to let you choose whatever artists you want, without checking if they’re already compatible with your schedule. This means that the artists you have chosen will most likely overlap.
To avoid this, we have built a slightly more strict tool.
You can try our Tomorrowland schedule planner right now, completely free.
So, how does it work? Very simple!
Starting from the first slot on the timetable (Friday at 12:00) you’ll be forced to choose an artist to see.
If no artists are within your tastes, you can choose to skip to a certain time in the day.
Once an artist has been chose, it will appear on the bottom of the page. If you have chosen the wrong artist, you can delete it and choose another one easily.
if you don’t feel like listening to an artist in full, you can choose an early end time.
The tool works by filtering out all the artists that don’t start playing or are not playing at the time the latest artist or skip period is chosen.
For instance, if you have chosen an artist that will end playing at 1 PM, the tool will show all the artists that will start playing at 1 PM and the artists that are playing at 1 PM, so you can choose without worrying about overlapping slots.
The tool is still in the developing phase. The code is open source and you suggest improvement or propose bugfix on GitHub.
Tomorrowland also has its official app for Android and iOS.

Hardwell To Play Throwback EDM Set At Tomorrowland

The King of Big Room is back. Hardwell announced on Instagram that he will be playing a throwback EDM set at Tomorrowland Weekend 1. He will be playing the Freedom stage on July 19th. He let his fans decide with a poll, and confirmed the winning choice in his story a few days ago.
The other options were “Guilty Pleasure Set (vinyl)” and “Underground Set”. While those also sounded very tempting, the Throwback set won with a commanding 71% of the vote. Hardwell will be on the Mainstage for the second weekend of Tomorrowland. There we can expect his newer Big Room Techno to shine.
The golden era of EDM is back 10 years later.
Hardwell had a bit of drama this past weekend at the Saga Festival when the equipment provided failed. This caused him to hop on the mic and take quite a few shots at the festival.
Beyond Tomorrowland, Hardwell will be at Ultra Europe, BBF 2024, Parookaville, Creamfields, and so much more.

Brush Fire Breaks Out At ODESZA’s Gorge Show

ODESZA was bringing the heat to The Gorge this past weekend. Both literally and figuratively. On Saturday, a small accidental brush fire was caused by their pyrotechnics being blown away by the wind to the wrong place, which led them to end their show early.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This was their final show in their 3-run experience at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington. It also marked their final show of The Last Goodbye tour, which has hit 54 shows at 48 venues across North America.
The fire was quickly extinguished and fans were asked to leave the venue. Prior to the show, the venue had issued a high-heat warning and stated the fire danger in the region was “very high.” The three-night show brought in more than 66,000 fans.
As a little piece of trivia, ODESZA were going to end their show, as per usual during the tour, with their track ‘The Last Goodbye’, which never played, since the incident happened during/after their hit ‘It’s Only’, which was planned a few songs ahead. So, that last goodbye never came at The Gorge.
See a bystander’s video below from The Gorge.

salute Takes the Driver's Seat In First Full-Length Album, "TRUE MAGIC"

In an era when artists increasingly favor singles over cohesive long-form projects, it's a rare delight to find a dance album that fully immerses you in another world. 
That's exactly what salute has achieved with their debut album, TRUE MAGIC. Spanning 14 tracks, the record brings fans on a visceral and vibrant journey from front to back, its first track brimming with as much energy and passion as its last. 
Even though the prolific producer approached the album with the goal of making as much music as possible and whittling down the best collection of songs, TRUE MAGIC is remarkably cohesive. Threading a broad spectrum of sounds from house and UKG to breakbeat and pop, there's a through-line of nostalgia and charming simplicity in their production.
salute.Lewis Vorn
Collaborations serve as the foundation of the album, showcased by "reason." Combining salute's signature uptempo sound with Karma Kid's contemporary production, the uplifting track brings out the best of salute but also allows them to explore new creative directions. 
Further into the album, the Vienna-born beatsmith showcases their versatility as they transition into a softer, more emotive sound. In "perfect," they teamed up with LEILAH to capture the ethereal sensation of falling deeply in love.
TRUE MAGIC is only salute's first full-length album, but it has the feel of a tour de force. Demonstrating a polished maturity in both songwriting and arrangement, each of its songs flows seamlessly to paint an aching narrative and signal a promising a future for a musician whose career is only just beginning.
TRUE MAGIC is set to release on July 12th, 2024 via Ninja Tune. Fans can pre-save the album here. 
salute - TRUE MAGIC Tracklist
1. start
2. saving flowers (with Rina Sawayama)
3. reason (with Karma Kid)
4. lift off! (with Disclosure)
5. maybe it's u (with Sam Gellaitry)

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding Have Another Hit On Their Hands

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding's collaborative chemistry is a gift that keeps on giving.
They reunited last year to release "Miracle," which Harris said at the time marked the completion of a "trilogy" of bangers after teaming up for 2012's "I Need Your Love" and 2014's "Outside." They're now back with a fourth collaboration, which the chart-topping dance music superstar recently tested out for a crowd on the island of Ibiza during a DJ set at Ushuaïa.
Much like Harris and Goulding's collaborations of yesteryear, the track was designed for the walk-on-air rapture of a singalong moment in unison. With anthemic production and head-over-heels songwriting ("When I'm with you I'm free"), they have another surefire dance hit on their hands. Check out Harris' clip below.
View the original article to see embedded media.
The reveal of the new song arrives after Harris in May teased a rumored collaboration with Miley Cyrus, tentatively titled "Ocean." That track, however, appears to have been postponed or scrapped entirely after he removed all teasers from his social media.
Neither Harris nor Goulding has formally announced release date of their untitled collaboration at the time of this writing.

Armin van Buuren And David Guetta Will Collab For First Time With ‘In The Dark’

Two of the biggest names in the industry, Armin van Buuren and David Guetta, have announced their first-ever collaborative single. Titled ‘In The Dark,’ the track promises to be a standout addition to the summer’s music lineup. Featuring vocals by American songwriter Aldae, known for his collaborations with major artists like Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes, the single is set to drop on July 12, 2024.
Last week, fans got a sneak peek of ‘In The Dark’ during Guetta’s iconic Ushuaïa Ibiza residency. The duo performed a back-to-back set, part of Guetta’s famous “F**K Me I’m Famous!” residency. This event marked their second-ever back-to-back performance, creating an electrifying atmosphere that left fans eagerly anticipating the official release.
In a social media post about the track, Guetta shared his love for Ibiza, stating: “The love of music above all, that’s why Ibiza will always be my favourite place on Earth !!! We come from different musical paths, but our passion brings us together… And gave us the desire to release a track together.” 
While ‘In The Dark’ is creating a lot of hype, both David Guetta and Armin van Buuren have been keeping busy with other projects. Guetta, named DJ Mag’s 2023 No.1 DJ, recently remixed Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s revived hit ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’. He also dropped an official rework of Mason and Princess Superstar’s ‘Perfect (Exceeder)’ earlier this year.
Armin has been equally active, producing the official anthem for the Dutch men’s national football team ahead of the 2024 UEFA European Championship. Additionally, he released the 21st installment of his iconic A State Of Trance series last month.
“After being friends for many years we felt the time was right for us to turn that friendship into music,” Armin said on Facebook.

Label Spotlight: Evil Sky

Hi, Who are you?
Hey, I’m Drone an electronic artist out of Bristol and this is my new baby Evil Sky.
What’s your ethos? 
The ethos of the label is to release all sorts of electronic music and not to be confined to one specific genre. Whether that’s club music or stuff that’s a bit weirder and more experimental. I see the start of this project as a blank canvas, there are no rules for how to approach it and I almost feel like I’m starting from scratch again but in a good way. The idea behind it was to be a home for my own productions and to build something to allow me to keep developing as an artist and try and push the envelope and dip my toes into other realms if you like. The whole thing is really exciting to me and I’m looking forward to seeing it develop in the years to come. 
Tell us your origin story…
I had been toying with the idea of setting up my own imprint for a little while. I never really wanted to start a label and sign other people’s music it was more just wanting to create a home for my own productions and to keep pushing myself as a producer. A place where I can continue to evolve and release music that excites me. I see Evil Sky more as an extension of myself than a label. After speaking with friends and showing them some of my ideas the general feedback I got was “What are you waiting for?” So at the start of 2024, I began putting things in motion and got the ball rolling. 
Where are you based? Tell us about your local scene…
I’m based in Bristol. I enjoy living here, the city has so much to offer music-wise and also outside of music. The local scene here is pretty healthy for all sorts of genres and there are so many artists and labels doing really great stuff. When I first came to Bristol I remember seeing labels like Bandulu, Sector 7, Hotline etc. with this whole DIY ethos. They were pressing records, throwing in-store parties at Idle Hands and over the years they’ve put together some of the sickest club nights and shows I’ve ever been to. For me, that stuff was super inspiring. After becoming good friends with people like Boofy, Hi5, Kahn & Neek and seeing the blood, sweat and tears these guys were putting into their music and their releases it really fired me up and gave me this hunger to push myself too. I’ll never forget some of those early Bandulu in stores at Idle Hands. Being able to walk down the road and link up with all sorts of people at those parties was so sick. Stuff like that created a real sense of community within Bristol and opened me up to so much stuff at a young age. I have definitely seen changes over the years with clubs and venues closing which can be absolutely heartbreaking at times, however for me Bristol is still such a hub for all sorts of music and I find it a really inspiring place to live. 
Do you have a specific sound or vibe?
I guess maybe for my own productions there is a certain sound that I have developed over the years. The goal for Evil Sky however is to release all sorts of stuff and not to be associated with just one particular sound or style. Personally, I love all sorts of electronic music and always will do but then as well as that side of things I like to listen to a lot of rap and hip hop and also listen to a lot of bands and heavier sort of music. I see Evil Sky as a big melting pot that I can chuck all sorts of stuff into and see what comes out. 
Do you have a regular artist roster- who can we see releasing with you?
For now, it’s just going to be for my own releases and stuff that I make with friends. The next release has a couple of vocals on it which I’m really excited about. One of those vocals is with Nottingham MC Kyeza who I’ve been a big fan of for a while now. There’s just something about MCs from Notts that I love. I feel like Nottingham gets overlooked regularly as it’s not one of the big main cities in the UK but the amount of sick MCs from there is ridiculous. Getting Notts MCs on hard electronic beats is something that I’ve been experimenting with for the last couple of years and this next one that I’ve got lined up for 002 is something I’m really proud of. 
Tell us about your A&R process…
To be honest there isn’t really one at the minute. As mentioned before for now it’s just going to be a place for me to put out my own tunes with some collabs and vocal bits here and there. I want to make the whole process as natural and true to myself as possible so for now it’s just a one man band. 
What makes you different from other labels? 
I guess as it’s just myself at the minute it’s less about comparing myself to other labels and more about getting my head down and putting out stuff that I love and stuff that I find exciting. If that resonates with people then that’s a bonus. There are so many labels popping up these days I feel like things often get oversaturated and stale quite easily. People often look to quantity rather than quality. I’m trying to avoid that at all costs and just continue to put out music that I love and present it in the way that I want. 
What does it take to run a bass music label in 2024? 
I think it’s important to put out quality music that’s fresh and original. People often see a certain formula or sound that works so they try to replicate that. Take a risk and try something different and who knows it might just pay off. Certain things age better than others for sure, but for me, it’s about longevity and creating a sick back catalogue that you can look back on when you’re old and really be proud of.  
What have you got coming up that we should look out for? 
I’ve just dropped my first EP on the label which is called Airtight. The EP is made up of 3 cuts which are all quite different from each other. This first release is a great example of where I’m at right now as a producer and the sort of things I wanna push going forward. That’s available now on digital + vinyl. I’ve got some vocal tunes coming on 002 and then something a bit different lined up for 003.

Spotify Is Testing a New In-App Emergency Alert System

Spotify is stepping into new territory by testing emergency alerts, TechCrunch reports.
Initially uncovered by technologist Chris Messina, the feature is being considered as a way to make Spotify a more essential app to its users. The tech, which reportedly includes a feature to disseminate public announcements about local accidents and serious events, is currently being tested in the company's home market in Sweden.
Messina believes that the streaming giant will encourage users to enable push notifications for their app, making it more of a necessity. According to TechCrunch, users often disable alerts on "non-essential" apps, making it harder for them to capture users' attention when marketing new features.
"At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve our user experience," a Spotify representative told TechCrunch. "Some of those tests end up paving the way for our broader user experience while most serve only as an important learning."
Whether the emergency alert feature will ultimately roll out to Spotify's global user base remains to be seen. The company has not yet formally revealed the feature at the time of this writing.

These Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Dogs Can Also Play Relaxing Tunes for Them

Tired of saying goodbye to your pup when you go to a show or music festival? Well, you may opt to bring them right along thanks to PAWNIX's noise-cancelling headphones for dogs.
The headphones appear to a be a full-on helmet, with stretchy material and a chin strap to keep the device snug and comfortable on the ever-active dog. They are stated on the company's site to have many uses, from dogs' PTSD recovery to protection from loud noises such as fireworks and storms.
PAWNIX headphones also have a built-in feature they call "The Electronic," which is a Bluetooth-connective device inserted into the headphones. Dog parents can then play music to calm their furry friends, turning a "ruff" day into a rejuvenating one. And if you don't know what music to play for your pup? The site has a section for that, offering recommendations and explanations for each selected classical song.
View the original article to see embedded media.
The inspiration for this invention is given a dedicated page on the PAWNIX website, and her name is Emma. The brand educates interested buyers of the statistics of lost dogs during the 4th of July and shares an incident that motivated the headphones' conception. Now Emma and dogs everywhere can enjoy fireworks, thunderstorms and loud shows in a comfortable and im-paws-ibly cute fashion.
PAWNIX's noise-cancelling headphones appeared on the 13th season of ABC's Shark Tank, when all of the Sharks found Emma to be the cutest (and record-breakingly oldest) dog they'd had on the show. While the company failed to secure an investment, it did ultimately get an endorsement from billionaire Mark Cuban.
Sizing of PAWNIX headphones range from XS to XL so that dogs of all sizes can enjoy your favorite ear-splitting activities with you. Check out the headphones on the PAWNIX website.

Anfisa Letyago Reveals Debut of Mermaid-Inspired Live Audiovisual Show, "Partenope"

Known for her characteristically industrial and acid-inspired brand of techno, Anfisa Letyago, a member of the EDM.com Class of 2022, is stepping into a new dimension with both her music and a new groundbreaking live show.
Her latest single "Origami" folds soundscapes like delicate paper and ushers us to a place where melodic techno flutters with playful elegance. Evoking the intricacies of the ancient art form itself, the track sees Letyago embrace a shapeshifting electronic-pop sound that diverges from her roots with playfully pitched-up vocals, warm kick drums and sparkling synth textures. She describes it as an exploration of energy and transformation, mirroring the delicate yet precise folds of paper into a refined creation.
Accompanying the release, Letyago has announced she's teamed up with renowned AI artist Guisy Amoroso, also known as Marigoldff, to develop an innovative audiovisual live show, "Partenope."
View the original article to see embedded media.
Inspired by the ancient Greek myth of a mermaid discovered off the coast of Naples, the show embraces an immersive underwater theme by blending Letyago's love of the sea with Amoroso’s surrealist visual artistry. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, the DJ is transformed into a mermaid, bringing the legend to life in a mesmerizing display that's set to premiere at August's Red Valley Festival in Sardinia.

The EDM.com Class of 2024 star, fans of whom affectionately call the "High Priestess of Hard Techno," has released the latest single from her debut album alongside 17-year-old UK producer Alex Farell. Pummeling kicks and rapid-fire techno synths collide in Landry's vortex of warped distortion, building an atmosphere that's both punishing and exhilarating while pushing boundaries with an unyielding force. As its trunk-thumping rhythms gallop forward, the track's vocals embrace themes of cutting loose from one's limitations.
The creation of "Prisoner" was both spontaneous and seamless, beginning with a text message from Landry to Farell when the latter landed in Amsterdam late last year. Within hours, the two artists had crafted the track, which Farell debuted during his set at Verknipt Festival that very evening. 
“Alex is one of my favorite producers right now and a regular on HEKATE,” Landry said. "When it came to deciding which artists I wanted to work with on my upcoming collab album, it was a no-brainer to cook something up with him. 'Prisoner' is a peak set thumping banger and it has torn the roof off some of the clubs I've played at recently. You can really hear both mine and Alex's production styles in this one. It is the ideal follow-up track to 'Heaven' to show the vibe of what to expect from the rest of the album."

Celebrate Alesso’s Birthday With His Top 10 Streamed Tracks

Happy 33rd birthday to one of the most loved EDM artists in the world. Alesso has become a staple in our scene, having released his first song, “Workaholic” in 2010 and some of the biggest electronic music hits since then. Alesso’s discography includes tracks such as “Calling” and his famous remix of OneRepublic’s “If I Lose Myself.” The Stockholm born DJ began his musical journey at 7 years old when he started playing piano. At a later stage in his teenage years, Alesso became interested in electronic music, and in 2011 Sebastian Ingrosso contacted him to work together. Since then, the 2 have been close friends, with Ingrosso acting as a mentor for the 20 year old Alesso at the time.
Having such a lengthy and beautiful career, the Swedish icon has produced a lot of great music, and what better way is there to celebrate him if not by looking back to his biggest releases.

Released 10 Years Ago: Hardwell & Joey Dale ft. Luciana – Arcadia 

It has been exactly one decade since the release of Hardwell’s smash single, Arcadia. Arcadia is a progressive Big Room/ Electro track that was initially released on July 7, 2014. It was the first single to release on his debut studio album in 2015 ‘United We Are’. Hardwell first performed an edit of the song live during Ultra Music festival in March 2014. Produced through an amazing collaboration with young talent, Joey Dale, the track was proven to be a festival banger. 
Arcadia embodies the sound of Big Room dance music during the 2014 Golden Era. Every time the song is played you will get that nostalgic feeling invoked by Hardwell’s signature sound. The euphoric vocals provided by Luciana take the track on an exhilarating journey through ‘Arcadia’. The track was a heavy hitter in the 2015 Belgian charts reaching a peak position of 35 (Ultratip Bubbling Under Flanders). That uplifting feeling is what people loved about music during the golden years. 
There was an official music video published 3 months after the release on August 8, 2015. The video gathered 6.7 million views as well as 63k likes on YouTube. It is just as fantastic and whimsical as the song itself taking on the Alice in Wonderland theme.  The lyrics coordinate with the visuals as there are depictions of a woman crossing over into another world and joining a mad tea party.
Hardwell has made references to the electrifying track throughout the years. Most recently in 2020, he made a Facebook post sharing how special ‘Arcadia’ was for him to include in “The Story of Hardwell” album. The album is a compilation of Hardwell’s best work throughout the years released in 2020 right after his announcement of a much-needed hiatus. The single is listed as number 1 in the album.
