Tresor Records have announced the new EP from machine techno luminary Lady Starlight aka Colleen Martin. Capricorn Rising comprises five razor-sharp cuts from the acclaimed producer, DJ, and Surgeon co-conspirator whose laser-focused work ethic reflects the EP’s astrological namesake.

Capricorn Rising is anchored by the record’s most propulsive, trance-inducing cut, “Mass;” an off-kilter conversation between chattering birds and a breathing sample that makes for an otherworldly melody. “I wanted
to create a feeling rather than a sound,” explains Martin of the catalyst for the record. Martin describes the recording of Capricorn Rising as a cathartic process. “I thought of myself as fearless since I have always rejected societal norms and I’m very comfortable expressing ideas,” she offers. “However, I realised I actually had a lot of fear when expressing anything emotional.”
The EP is the outcome of shaking off that fear. Using her feelings as a guide, Martin creates a space somewhere between euphoria, dissociation, and wonder. “This is where I hope to take the listener,” she says. This emotional liberation peaks on “Reinforce,” which sidesteps towards extraterrestrial acid and swirling, cosmic pads that reach for a new dimension. Meanwhile, “Chapter 23” is an industrial-dipped roller that creaks with eerie atmospherics before erupting into a meteor shower of kicks. This percussive workout continues on “Prism,” which makes a plea for bodily oblivion.
Martin often closes out her live sets with the EP’s euphoric title track; a seamless, starry-eyed slammer that encapsulates the headiness of the Lady Starlight universe. Oiled and limbered for the dancefloor, these are dynamic, Teflon-tough techno tracks that deftly align with Martin’s virtuosic hardware performances.

The non-profit festival also adds many new names to its Art and Activism programme.
From June 29 to July 6, close to 200 acts will play Roskilde Festival, Northern Europe’s biggest music festival. Today, the festival presents its full lineup, with SZA, Doja Cat, Kali Uchis, Foo Fighters, and Skrillex among its previously revealed headliners.
Today’s announcement features 53 new music acts, including 21 Savage. In January, the Atlanta rapper climbed to the top of Billboard 200 for the fourth time with the album American Dream, proving once again that he is among the biggest artists in the world right now. The show at Roskilde Festival will be 21 Savage’s first in Denmark.
PinkPantheress, Amaarae, Belle & Sebastian, Tinashe and Young Nudy are also new additions, as well as Denmark’s very own Erika de Casier, who will be playing her biggest show yet on home soil.
Furthermore, festival participants will get the chance to experience Kakuma Sound, a group based in one of the world’s biggest refugee camps, playing in Europe for the first time. There’s also ritual dance from Western Java with Tarawangsa Sunda Lugina, a full-scale party with iconic Brazilian drag queen Gloria Groove, and much more to discover.
This year’s music lineup spans across 43 countries and five continents.
“Roskilde Festival is the place to explore some of the biggest artists of our time next to a rich and groundbreaking musical treasure from all corners of the globe. Our lineup will undoubtedly give rise to a lot of intriguing and inspiring encounters,” says Anders Wahrén, Roskilde Festival’s Program Director.
Art and activism address big issues
Roskilde Festival 2024 also offers a wide range of talks, performances, workshops, and artworks created specifically for the festival, focusing on some of the most current themes right now. In addition to today’s music announcement, 43 acts are added to the festival’s lineup of art and activism.
Prominent additions include Denmark-based Jordanian-Palestinian artist Banaan Al-Nasser, exhibiting the art installation ‘In Memory of Home’, reflecting on who has the right to a home and a voice. The Danish artist Ragnhild May presents a breathtaking over-the-top glamour-pop performance that offers a critical perspective on music and media culture, while the Dutch-American artist Lara Schnitger focuses on the struggle for women’s equality with a hybrid of performance and protest.
At Flokkr, the festival’s stage for activistic events, participants can listen to stories from refugees, participate in workshops on biodiversity, attend a celebration of artistic and cultural diversity with a focus on marginalized LGBTQ+ individuals, and much more.
“Roskilde Festival is an eight-day celebration of community that flickers between euphoria and intimacy, between transformation and salvation. Being a non-profit festival aimed at creating a positive impact, it is important for us to present music and art that introduce new ideas and thoughts, and activism that directly addresses the way the world is and could be. I think we truly accomplish that with this programme,” says Anders Wahrén.

Bochum Welt’s classic 1996 album Module 2, originally released on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, is being reissued on vinyl with five bonus tracks via BMG.

Bochum Welt – a combination of the German word for ‘world’ (welt) and the name of a high-powered astral telescope –  is the stage name of Italian electronic artist Gianluigi Di Costanzo. Di Costanzo has been releasing boundary-pushing electronic music since the ’90s, his first single for Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, ‘Scharlach Eingang’ (1994), made such an impact NME ran an article speculating Bochum Welt was an new ghost project by Aphex Twin himself.

Di Costanzo’s first album Module 2, a collection of his first recordings, was originally released in 1996 and followed by another Rephlex release Robotic Operating Buddy, nominated in 2009 as a top 15 electronica albums by The Wire and a string of acclaimed albums in the years since. Other collaborators throughout his expansive career include Drexciya’s Gerald Donald and Nine Inch Nails touring member Josh Eustis.

With its new vinyl reissue, Module 2 is set to compel new audiences with its timelessly futuristic sound and five previously unheard tracks. For the uninitiated, lovers of Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin will find themselves well at home in Di Costanzo’s analogue electro soundscape. Opening with the moody ambience and acid squelches of ‘Extra Life (Take 2), the album moves effortlessly between light and shade, offsetting brighter melodic pieces such as ‘Electro 1 (Knightsbridge Mix)’ (inspired by the influential Sheffield electronic music scene of the early 80s), with the more brooding, darker techno sensibilities of tracks like ‘Mechanique’ (of which we get both studio and live versions).

Over thirteen peerless tracks, Module 2 invites us to explore a full spectrum of electro possibilities: the extraterrestrial groove of ‘Extra Life’ (another track with two excellent versions on the album) coexists with the dreamy night ride pads and delays of ‘Asteroids Over Berlin’ and the crunchy lo-fi beats and pensive synths of ‘Paths’, whilst ‘Over Time’ closes us out with captivating moody ambience.

The imprint of Di Costanzo’s analogue explorations continues to be felt with every generation and no doubt this reissue will inspire a whole wave of discoveries. Module 2  is a bonafide ‘cult classic’ –  a feast for analogue aficionados, fans of Aphex Twin’s broader universe and any lover of underground electronic music and its history. Essential and absorbing listening and a must for all vinyl collections!

Bochum Welt says: 

“Listening to the original tape recordings for this album, I found some alternate versions and unreleased tracks. Among the unreleased ones, ‘Electro 1’ is a look back at the Sheffield melodic electronic music scene; ‘Extra Life (Take 2)’ is a version with more ambience and delay tips than the original; ‘Over Time’ is a tense and dark soundscape at the end of the album. Any part I was playing with a synthesiser was digital information that I programmed into my Macintosh. The results were lo-fi electro tunes made using my own sounds and analog gear. It’s the first album I made for Aphex Twin’s and Grant Wilson Claridge’s Rephlex Records, plus 5 bonus tracks”.

If we've learned anything about Ninajirachi by now, it's that her releases aren't just songs, but full-body experiences.
The Australian beatsmith, one of EDM.com's best music producers of 2022, has always managed to capture a visceral sound all her own, but it's scaled to new heights in her new single, "Hand on my heart." Out now via Nina Las Vegas' NLV Records, the track will appear on a brand-new EP, Girl edm, due out in May.
Ninajirachi's penchant for club music doesn't just bleed here—it hemorrhages. She produces a primal and relentless four-on-the-floor beat that mimics the frantic pounding of a heart overflowing with raw emotion.
But within that thrashing, hard dance-inspired sound, there's a poignant vulnerability expressed through the song's evocative title, which lays bare Ninajirachi's unfiltered approach to songwriting. It's a captivating contrast, the frenzied ecstasy of her music at variance with the intimate, confessional nature of her lyrics.
You can listen to "Hand on my heart" below and stream the new single here.

Neon Carnival, the storied SoCal party series, is returning to light up the desert for its 13th year.
Created by LA nightlife vet Brent Bolthouse and producing partner Jeffrey Best, the iconic Neon Carnival is as much a mini-metropolis as it is a party. The invite-only event annually plants its flag as a high-profile hub for dance music and haute lifestyle over festival weekend. Attendees can expect another star-studded affair after last year's headline-stealing event, which saw the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Willow Smith, Shaun White, Idris Elba and more.
Neon Carnival 2024 will take place at the Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, California for one night only, Saturday, April 13th. It's a big moment for the series as it features one of its best lineups to-date, according to Bolthouse.
Al Powers/Neon Carnival
"It's hard to believe that it has been celebrating for 13 years," Bolthouse said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "This year's Neon Carnival is going to have one of the best lineups we have ever had. "For this year our goal was to further amplify our musical performances."
The lineup's undeniable highlight is Anderson .Paak, who will perform an all-vinyl set under his alias, DJ Pee .Wee, per a press release. The night will also feature supporting sets by DJ Hunny Bee and James Kennedy.
Elsewhere under the lights of Neon Carnival, attendees can experience funfair-style games, bumper cars and, of course, the event's famed Ferris wheel ride. The venue’s grassy knoll spans the length of three football fields, or roughly 360 yards.
This year's Neon Carnival is presented by Liquid I.V. in association with Patrón El Alto and The Levi's Brand. Other sponsors include Ghost Energy, Tangle Teezer, LaCroix, Coca-Cola, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, French bee Airlines, ApeCoin, Heineken and PathWater.

Amid a week of synths and sunshine, for the second year in a row EDM.com's "Insider Access" networking event became the opening pitch of Miami Music Week 2024.
As the sunny spring afternoon unfurled, hundreds of guests ascended to the rooftop of the lavish Uma House hotel, greeted by a panoramic view that mirrored the expansive opportunities held by new connections and more. 
The air buzzed with anticipation and the kind of energy only found where the industry's brightest gather to foster the future of electronic dance music. Refreshing drinks in-hand courtesy of local distillery Timber Creek, attendees were set for an afternoon that was as much about the savor of the moment as it was about the sizzle of potential.
The cornerstone of "Insider Access" was undoubtedly the interaction between independent artists and some of the most influential record label representatives in the electronic music domain. Giants such as Confession, Heldeep, Dim Mak, Ophelia, Armada, Dirtybird, No Copyright Sounds and Meritocracy lent their ears and expertise, diving into demos and sharing invaluable insights.

The day's soundtrack was masterfully curated, featuring an eclectic mix of artists who are no strangers to stirring crowds into a frenzy. From Rich DietZ's electrifying closing set to the groovy sensibilities of Myles O'Neal, and from Sunday Scaries' infectious energy to Ekonovah, FREAK ON, Fredy Lane, NIIKO X SWAE, No Thanks and more, the lineup was a testament to the diversity and dynamism that defines the dance music scene of 2024.
But beyond the beats and business cards, "Insider Access" was about the creation of meaningful connections. In a scene where a single conversation can spark a career-defining collaboration, guests didn't just party the day away—they forged relationships that promised to shape the contours of the week ahead and beyond.

Here’s to another beautiful piece from the duo we can’t get enough of.
German maestro Paul van Dyk has been at the forefront of the Electronic Dance Music scene for a long, long while now. When the so-called Proto-Trance turned into Trance by fusing with a style of production that stemmed from Eurodance but was not quite, Paul was there. When Trance took off in the golden era of the late 1990s, Paul was also there. And, actually, Mr van Dyk has been a part of the scene without a year we could tie him to. His music is timeless, and his releases have spelt brilliance time and time again, no matter the year.
On the other hand, Sue McLaren has turned into one of the most iconic voices of Trance music through the years. Working alongside industry shapers such as Andy Moor, Aly & Fila, 4 Strings, and Craig Connelly, she’s become one vocalist we’ve all heard and sung to.
So, what could happen, other than magic, if we combine the two artists together? Well, that’s part of the grace of ‘Love Is Enough‘, the latest conjoint effort of Paul van Dyk and Sue McLaren. Them joining forces is a proven successful formula by now. In fact, this is the tenth track they work on together, after classics like ‘We Come Together’, ‘Miracle’ with Giuseppe Ottaviani, and recently, ‘Guiding Light’ and ‘Beautiful Life’.
‘Love Is Enough’
As a part of celebrating the Silver Anniversary of van Dyk’s imprint VANDIT, his and Sue’s tenth track is one of many awe-inspiring tracks to come out on this, the 25th year of the life of the record label. Sue McLaren states, “Our musical journey together has been incredible, and I believe ‘Love Is Enough’ reflects the essence of our connection“. Paul agrees:
Credit: Christoph Köstlin The release contains three tracks, which are all spins on the same core idea: ‘Love Is Enough‘, which is a radio edit and basically a slightly toned-down version of the next track; the Shine Mix, a Trance-filled piece of Heaven, and the Venture X Mix, a techier, slightly deeper version of the song which is geared towards Paul’s very own VENTUREX touring concept.
As far as taste goes, I’ll pick the Shine Mix any day, for the euphoria of a properly produced Trance track cannot be beaten. But I definitely see the Venture X flip be much more versatile and fit a wider range of set styles and DJs.

Hours before a total eclipse of the sun, the Texas Eclipse festival in Burnet has been cancelled due to severe weather, the event's organizers announced Monday.
The rare celestial event was billed as the pièce de résistance of the five-day festival, which also featured space exhibits, high-profile guest speakers and performances by a slew of major electronic music artists. However, ticket-holders are now evacuating the festival's grounds, according to EDM.com's Carlie Belbin, who is in attendance.
Texas Eclipse's organizers issued a statement Monday morning to formally announce the event's cancellation and urge pass-holders to pack their bags. At least 30,000 people were in Burnet for the fest, according to local NBC affiliate station KXAN.
"We regret to inform you of the severe weather forecast, including risks of high winds, tornadic activity, large hail, and thunderstorms for later today, including during the eclipse, Tuesday, and Wednesday," reads the statement, which was also emailed to attendees. "Your safety is our top priority. With the support and coordination of Burnet County officials, local safety agencies, and The National Weather Service, we’ve agreed to end the festival today in a calm orderly manner."
"Leave early for safety and to beat traffic," the announcement continues. "Guests may stay for the eclipse provided they pack and are prepared to depart after totality. This guidance may change based on weather."
Texas Eclipse ticket-holders will receive an email with a partial refund policy "soon," according to organizers.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for hazardous weather conditions at the time of this writing. Severe thunderstorms are likely to develop in the afternoon, leading to threats of "very large hail, damaging winds, heavy rainfall and a few tornadoes." Increasing cloud cover may also limit the viewing of the solar eclipse.
"It has been very hectic. No one really knows what to do or where to go," Belbin told us via text message. "The emotions are at an all-time high as it feels like a Band-Aid was ripped off. Today was *the* day that everyone was waiting for. People came from all over the world for this. Obviously no one can control the weather, but it's just a shame to be departing today instead of Tuesday evening or Wednesday."
The total eclipse begins in Burnet at 1:34pm and it will persist for for minutes and 20.4 seconds.

The 2024 Coachella lineup boasts a variety of dance music headliners, including Justice, Everything Always (comprising John Summit and Dom Dolla), Anyma, Bicep, and more. Still, Coachella’s small but mighty Yuma Tent tends to generate some of the major festival’s best programming, and even some of it most memorable moments. Presented and hosted by Framework, the 2024 Yuma bill exemplifies a stellar cast of in-demand DJ talent. Gorgon City, ANOTR, Kevin de Vries, and Reiner Zonneveld, in addition to a plethora of scene shaping acts, will tend decks in the confined dance space this month. Fans of deep house, melodic techno, and progressive dance music can fulfill their four-on-the-floor fantasies in the Yuma Tent all weekend long. Dancing Astronaut has compiled a list of certain can’t miss acts in the Yuma tent this year—read them below.
Adam Ten and Mita Gami
Featured image: Adam Ten/Instagram Prepare for a groovy journey as Adam Ten and Mita Gami take the stage for a back-to-back DJ set. Drawing from Adam Ten’s early influences in industrial and new wave music, the joint set promises a fusion of dark, atmospheric house while also pulling from Mita Gami’s emotive and melodic soundscapes. Both named Dancing Astronaut Artists to Watch in 2024, the DJ pair will endure a monumental moment for Israeli-born artists at Coachella 2024. Last year, Ten and Gami’s infectious remix of Parallelle and Nicolas Masseyeff‘s “Renegade” proved to be one of Ibiza’s most popular tracks of 2023.
Kevin de Vries and Kölsch
Featured image: Kolsch/Instagram Get ready for an unforgettable Coachella moment as 2023 Dancing Astronaut Artist To Watch Kevin de Vries, alongside German tastemaker Kölsch, join forces for another back-to-back set. Kevin de Vries has quickly become one of Afterlife‘s most notable artists, boasting hits “Dance With Me”, “Metro”, and “Tokyo Nights”. His experimentation with varying sub-genres, inspired by Berlin’s underground music scene, has allowed de Vries to carve out a globally resonant niche, one between the sonic themes of both Afterlife and Drumcode. Kölsch’s emotive melodies and storytelling will evoke a dynamic and emotionally resonant joint performance. The duo previously collaborated on Gate/Masterplan EP, streaming via Kölsch’s Ipso recording imprint.
Adriatique
Featured image: Adriatique/Instagram Swiss duo Adriatique are no strangers to the global electronic music scene, and their Coachella performance should be nothing short of spectacular. Drawing inspiration from Switzerland’s beautiful landscapes, the outfit’s repertoire evokes grandeur and raw emotion, distinguished by tatsefully intricate melodic rhythms. Adriatique has become a household name in dance music, credited to their unique transfusion of melodic techno and deep house. Their co-founded X imprint has gained traction as a noteworthy audio-visual production that cannot be missed. And while their Yuma tent performance will be less focused on the visuals, Adriatique remains a must see act. Stream recent hit “Miracle” below.
ARTBAT
Featured image: ARTBAT/Instagram Ukrainian duo ARTBAT have made waves in the electronic music world for years. Known for pulsating bass lines and hypnotic rhythms that capture the spirit of underground dance culture, ARTBAT has crafted their own sonic lane somewhere between future rave and melodic techno. In expanding from the underground scene, ARTBAT’s collaborations with John Martin, David Guetta, and Armin Van Buuren have cemented their status as Coachella-worthy talent. ARTBAT’s Yuma Tent performance will likely occur toward the end of the festival, an ideal way for dance music fans to close out the weekend.
Miss Monique
Featured image: Miss Monique/Instagram Last but not least, Ukrainian DJ and producer Miss Monique should not be overlooked this year. Quickly rising to global prominence, Miss Monique has gained immense popularity with her YouTube DJ sets in picturesque locations. Now an esteemed producer with her Siona record label, Miss Monique continues to provide high energy DJ sets backed by a growing original catalog. Filling her tracklists with a mix of melodic techno, progressive house, and tech-house, the Ukrainian DJ will take the crowd on a journey led by these diverse soundscapes.

In a scene ripped from a culinary fever dream, the duo turned the Windy City into Wobble City on Saturday as they dropped a barrage of dubstep tracks while perched atop the iconic hotdog joint, which is beloved for serving street food "with a side of insults."
Like the way a well-crafted Chicago dog elevates the humble frankfurter to new heights, Mello and SVDDEN DEATH's raw energy elevated the daytime rave to an unforgettable electronic music experience. Fans permeated the block as the sizzle of the grill and the thump of the bass reverberated through Clark Street.
The crowd became so large, however, that the Chicago Police Department arrived after roughly 20 minutes to shut down the event, according to a member of EDM.com's staff in attendance.
Check out a few videos from the event below.

We hope everyone still enjoys themselves as much as possible and we’ll report any additional information as it comes in.

DJ and producer Tristan Alary, known by his alias UNCLØSD, drops his latest single “Kick Back,” featuring collaborator Niala’Kil. This deep house track promises to deliver an irresistible fusion of 4/4 beats and grooving basslines that will captivate listeners worldwide. “Kick Back” is the result of a shared passion for house beats and all of its best features.

Remarkably, the final arrangement was completed within a day, reflecting the seamless collaboration between the two artists. The track seamlessly blends UNCLØSD’s expertise in sound selection and songwriting with Niala’Kil’s mastery of mixing and processing skills.   Hailing from Montpellier, France, UNCLØSD is the brainchild of DJ and producer Tristan Alary.

Joshwa has launched a new record label, No Bad Fridays, by virtue of its debut release, "Get Stupid/Lluvia."
Some of the London-based producer's most memorable career moments, he said, have unfolded on Fridays, when most new music releases.
"It's never a bad day when new music is released into the world," he said in a press release. "It's been a dream of mine to have my own label to share the music that represents the sound I play in my sets—a mixture of dark and light. I wanted to channel the positivity music has had on my life through the label and what better day to do it than a Friday... No bad feelings on a Friday."
The label's debut is a two-pronged tech house release from Joshwa himself. "Get Stupid" pulses with lively percussive elements, vibrant vocal chops and—just as the vocals boldly command—a "funky ass bassline." On the flip side, "Lluvia" enchants with a house beat that seems to glisten like raindrops, accompanied by haunting Spanish vocals and a mesmerizing flute pattern.

Mau P's journey didn't begin in pursuit of the spotlight's glare—it unfolded in the dimly lit corners of the underground, where the energy is raw and ambitions run deep.
Fortune had different plans for the breakout DJ and producer, who, despite his underground inclinations, has released a slew of major commercial hits in short order, beginning with the infectious anthem "Drugs From Amsterdam." Since then, Mau P, whose real name is Maurits Westveen, has become nothing short of a seminal figure in the electronic music landscape as he bridges the gap of house music's past and future with unparalleled finesse.
Mau P.Tommy Reerink
In the heat of Miami Music Week, EDM.com caught up with Westveen for a sit-down interview at The W Hotel. He shared insights into his musical journey thus far, which has oscillated between the allure of commercial success and the raw, unfiltered essence of underground dance music with each intriguing chapter.
There's perhaps no better illustration of this dynamic than Mau P's latest Beatport #1 hit, "Beats For The Underground," which has not only dominated charts but also blitzed the world's warehouse parties and club dancefloors alike—all after evolving through six different versions.
"The fun thing was that people were noticing small changes I added in each version of the song," Westveen recalled of the track's unique trajectory. When he noticed the rips on YouTube alone were garnering hundreds of thousands of views, the decision to ultimately slate it for an official release was a no-brainer.
With a background rooted in the stylings of big room house music under the umbrella of his former alias, Maurice West, Westveen's transformation into Mau P started as a daring plunge in the throes of the pandemic.
Indeed, the artist's shift from the festival-friendly sensibilities of Maurice West to the underground panache of Mau P has not been without its ironies. "Drugs From Amsterdam" catapulted him into the limelight far beyond the smoke-filled rooms of the underground scene he'd come to cherish.
"They wouldn't let me be underground," Westveen jokes, reflecting on the track's unexpected success. "We wanted to dive more into the underground sounds and with the first track we'd already messed it up." 
Despite the whirlwind of success, Mau P remains immensely grateful for the journey and the choices with which it has afforded him. However, the rapid growth was not without growing pains.
"Nobody knew what Mau P was and what we wanted to accomplish here," Westveen says of the time immediately following his breakout success. "We had to be so careful about picking the lineups, and which parties to play and what remixes to do."
Ultimately, he believes that navigating these opportunities has been a privilege, allowing him to craft his path with intention and authenticity. "It's easier to have that problem [of choice] and be able to say 'no' to a lot of things than to have to do it all over again starting small from an underground perspective," he adds.
Mau P.Tommy Reerink
Mau P's success is emblematic of a cultural recalibration, one that seeks to honor the rich history of house music for loyalists while propelling it forward through a modernized lens for the next generation of producers. In his unique position at the intersection of these worlds, he is both a beneficiary and a catalyst of that shift, appealing to a desire for authenticity and depth that the dance music community has been yearning to revisit.
"The most interesting thing for me, ever since I started doing Mau P, is that the genres and sub-genre borders in-between have faded away," Westveen says. "I feel like a lot of people don't know what to label songs anymore."
The blurring of stylistic lines is an indication of a broader evolution. And it's in this melting pot of genres that he finds rhythm with an audience who is increasingly indifferent to labels, yet deeply connected to the essence of what makes dance music resonate across generations.
This ethos extends into Mau P's live performances, the arena where he truly shines in sharing his passion and unique vision for the future of underground dance music. He says that despite initial expectations for him to deliver a set of Beatport Top 100 hits, his true determination lies in showcasing the unheard. It's here, amidst the energy of the crowd, that he thrives in his craft, educating and elevating audiences with sounds that defy conventional categorization.
Fortunately, he's earned increasingly more visible opportunities to do exactly that. Mau P was recently booked to perform at Coachella's ambitious new stage, Quasar, marking another milestone in his broiling career.
He also just announced the largest outing yet in his "Baddest Behaviour" party series at Brooklyn's Under The K Bridge Park, where a marathon open-to-close set promises an unforgettable experience for nearly 7,500 attendees. Tickets to the show, which is scheduled for September 13th, are on sale now.

Out now via the esteemed Insomniac Records, the track emerges as a captivating blend of progressive and Afro-house elements.

"This track is more than just a mix of our energies," Kasango said. "It symbolizes our individual journeys in the music industry and how we’ve evolved in our unique paths. I’ve long been a huge fan of Eran Hersh's music. We finally got on a call, and then, over the following month—despite our hectic touring schedules —we figured out the perfect song to work on together. We made it happen with 'Ascension.'"

And just like that, the 12th edition of Envision Festival has come and gone.
One month ago, thousands of like-minded individuals from around the world gathered deep in the jungles of Costa Rica to surrender to a weeklong, immersive experience like no other.
Disconnected from modern-day luxuries, Envision is an opportunity to detach from day-to-day life and flow through a robust programming of music, education, movement and more amongst a vibrant community—to help you reconnect to your natural essence.
And what better place to connect to your most natural self than immersed in nature, itself?

2024 was the second edition of the festival after its extension to a full week, and it appears to be going well. By adding the extra days at the beginning, attendees have plenty of time to both acclimate and integrate into the experience. 
Additionally, the gift of time ensures there's more of a flow throughout the week. You can opt to partake in daytime workshops and yoga classes for the first half, for example, and then gradually transition and utilize your energy on the dancefloor as the weekend sets in. 
There is no right or wrong way to do Envision Festival—it's very much so a choose-your-own-adventure experience. If you go with the intention to grow and foster meaningful connections, perhaps you'll choose to attend more workshops and classes in the day. If you wish to catch sets from all of your favorite DJs, then you'll most likely be a creature of the night.

Speaking of, this year's Envision lineup was arguably one of the best ones yet with the return of trap luminary TroyBoi, electro-soul tastemaker Daily Bread and beloved beatsmith The Polish Ambassador, among others. 
Notable performances came courtesy of Elderbrook, who performed a stunning club set; Father Funk, who took Envisionaries by surprise; Elephant Heart, who engaged the crowd with an energetic show; and a scintillating set from Dreamers Delight. And let's not forget, an impressive performance from local rising star La Virgen.

While you can push yourself and do it all, the heat and humidity really takes its toll. It's crucial to ensure that you're getting sufficient food, water and rest each day—or every other day, at least—as it's easy to get run down.
One thing worth mentioning is how many people had an adverse reaction this year. While the cause is still unknown, speculation around a contaminated water supply or an emergence of the Norovirus was rampant. For now, it's important to note that while many staff and attendees became ill, most cases were clear in a matter of days.
It's an ongoing challenge to keep up with hydration throughout the festival as many themselves constantly sweating, even when standing still. Trust us, you get used to it.
However, implementing a dedicated, 24/7 water vendor would be a welcome addition to Envision in the years ahead. There are currently stations onsite but their water is from a tap, and water is also available for purchase at the bar but all the bars close at 2am. 
Access to clean, filtered, mineralized water—especially for international travelers—is of the utmost importance at a festival like this one, where attendees are extremely active throughout the day and night in extremely hot weather.

All things considered, Envision Festival's 2024 edition empowered attendees to fully feel. It seemed to be a consensus that this was an emotionally charged year—a time of healing by way of feeling the full spectrum of emotions. We laughed. We cried. We were in Costa Rica riding the waves—literal waves, heat waves and waves of emotions.
Ultimately, Envision was a reminder that how you choose to show up in the world matters. As mentioned last year, "each and every one of us plays a vital role in the wellbeing of the collective." 
Allowing yourself to surrender to the present moment is such a gift not only to yourself, but also those around you. Being present in the now allows space for you to move through life with ease, rather than rushing through it or suppressing its unpleasantries.

Ice baths in the garden, BRIT Award nominations, green juices that taste like mud, platinum records. The life of goddard. is both extraordinary and completely normal all in the same breath.
Hailing from the midlands, goddard. has been a key player in one of D&B’s biggest commercial peaks. His love for collaborating with both up and coming artists and artists from other genres has set him aside, with collaborations with Greentea Peng, Cat Burns and Venbee piquing interests globally.
Fans will be happy to hear his label and event brand rabbit hole. are on the horizon too, and with his recent signing to Atlantic Records also being thrown into the mix, slowing down is completely off the agenda.
Zooming in from an Airbnb in the UK countryside before jetting off to sunny America for his first US tour, goddard. joins us to talk rabbit hole., his incoming release on UKF and so much more.
You’ve had an incredibly busy year so far, how’s it been for you?
Yeah I’ve been super busy this year. It’s been good. The Brit Awards were a bit crazy, but a cool experience. I was really happy to get ‘Wasted Youth’ with Cat Burns out this year too. It was my first release with Atlantic so it was nice to get that out into the world. I have ‘Drowning Mind’ out on UKF incoming after that and then my EP to follow.
Lots going on. ‘Messy In Heaven’ went platinum this year too. Is this something you envisioned happening?
Absolutely not! I didn’t even think ‘Messy in Heaven’ was going to get radio play because of the lyrics. That was a big surprise. When we first started to work on it I thought ‘this probably won’t get any radio play, but that’s ok’ and then it was all over the radio. I didn’t expect it at all. We’re really fortunate because with that happening, we’ve been able to go around the world, from New Zealand and Australia to America, and play drum & bass to people. It’s really cool. It was definitely the catalyst for everything that followed. The ‘Go’ remix gave me my first headline tour and then when ‘Messy in Heaven’ did what it did, it really took off and bookings came flying in.
Talk to us about ‘Drowning Mind’ incoming on UKF!
UKF approached me and asked if I wanted to make a track. I asked if they had any vocals I could check out. They sent me a few but Billy Lockett’s really jumped out at me. I was immediately drawn to the passion and the power that you can hear in his voice and when I heard the chorus, I thought it was a really anthemic moment. I started working on it straight away, and got a demo together straight away. Billy loved it. We had a bit of a back and forth. Billy went from giving me one vocal stem to him sending me 15, so there was a lot to play with. I really wanted to try and use all of it. A few days later, it was finished. I gave it a test on the road, it went down well and yeah, it was ready to go! Beau from Ten Eight Seven Mastering smashed the mastering on that one.
It was meant to be. Big up Beau too. You were discovering D&B when UKF was launched back in 2010. What does it mean for you to release on UKF? 
It’s unbelievable. When I was at college, we used to stay in the classroom at lunch and I would always put UKF on. That was my encyclopaedia to the world of drum & bass. I had already started dabbling with RAM Records, Hospitality and Playaz, but with UKF, they were showcasing such a vast amount of music. They showed me drum & bass acts all over the world, and they still do!
You’re now signed to Atlantic. Was being signed to a major label always a goal of yours? How has the process been?
Well, it was a long process. I didn’t want to sign to a major unless I could work with both younger drum & bass artists and create a network to put out music for them and myself. That was one of the main things that I considered. Am I going to go down the road of signing to a major label? The answer is yes, but only if I can also release on independent labels like UKF and my label, rabbit hole., which is very, very nearly launched…
Exciting! You’ll be running rabbit hole. events too, right?

Yeah definitely. Before I started to produce, I wanted to put on events and work in events. I actually had an events company. We’d create art installations and stage design for other festivals. My whole goal for that was that once we’d built enough installations through other jobs and we have a collection of all this art, we’d create our own little festival and grow it from there. There is still an essence of that with rabbit hole. My dream is to one day put on a festival and to have it so it’s very much built around the production and the experience as a whole. It’s great having a big lineup, don’t get me wrong, but for me personally, I’d rather have a smaller venue or festival that really goes in on the immersive experience. Which is what I want to do with rabbit hole. Those sort of experiences really do thicken the memory. I want to build a community and a family. It’s very easy to become disassociated sometimes because we’re always on social media so these things are important to me.
Absolutely. How have you found having social media as an artist?
Initially I found it difficult. Mainly because if you’re promoting a business or a brand, you want to translate a positive attitude, but as human beings, we are always going to have down days. I’ve learnt to limit my time on social media over the last 12 months because I’m an overthinker. Sometimes when I spend too much time on social media, I can spiral a little bit. I find it hard. I try to limit the time I spend looking at my screen. I like looking at what people are doing but I also need to remain conscious of how much time I’m spending on there. There is a certain level of mental resilience needed when using your phone. Pressures like this are why I do ice baths now, because it helps with brain fog and over thinking. When I get in a scatty state of mind and I’m not really getting the job done, I’ll get in an ice bath and it’ll reset my mind. The worst part is getting in. Your breathing intensifies, it’s ok, when you get out you get a flood of dopamine, it’s great.
Those ice baths look horrendous and amazing all at the same time! Is there anything else you do for your mental health?
For me personally, I need routine. I try to eat healthily and go to the gym, more for mental clarity. I’m not fussed physique wise, it’s more to keep the head clear. Keep the negative nancies out of my brain. So, gym, ice baths, trying to eat healthily too. I even started drinking these green things that taste terrible! They taste like the earth. The thing is, when you’re on the road, the only thing open at 3am is McDonalds. But when you’re only eating fast food, you start to really feel it in yourself. You feel lethargic, you feel tired. You don’t feel sociable because you have no goodness in your body. The last 18 months has been a massive learning curve in that respect, if you want to feel good, you need to put good stuff in your body. It helps no end.
