Splice, which in 2020 was named by EDM.com as the year's best music company, is hitting all the right notes with their new sample label. Timed to coincide with today's celebration of International Jazz Day, Signature promises to be a veritable treasure trove for beatmakers and jazz aficionados alike.
The sounds of Signature are akin to velvet curtains and crisp gin martinis. Within its confines lies a sumptuous collection of recordings that echo the genre's illustrious past, from the smoky, blues-tinged melodies of New Orleans to the frenetic rhythms of Kansas City bebop.
The sultry sounds of jazz have grown popular with today's music producers and content creators, according to Matt Block, Head of Music Production at Splice.
"Beyond its foundational musical significance in all popular music, jazz has become an increasingly prevalent element within popular music," Block said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "Samara Joy, a jazz vocalist, won best new artist at the GRAMMYs last year, Robert Glasper has been working to usher in a new jazz age for more than two decades and more recently, and artists like Laufey and Domi & JD Beck are fueling a resurgence of jazz on platforms like TikTok. With this new collection we hope to both reflect and encourage the growing popularity of jazz sounds in music creation."
The new collection joins over 30 separate sample labels created by Splice, each of which pay homage to a certain genre, region or zeitgeist. Featuring six sample packs, Signature's sound library "explores the various styles, sub-genres and instruments in jazz" that have influenced the genre's unswerving cultural evolution.
These include "The Front Line," a tribute to the birthplace of jazz in the 1920s; and "Love Legacy Vocal Jazz," a bundle of buttery recordings toasting the jazz vocalists who pioneered and defined the era.
"Jazz is a foundation in music and culture for creativity and innovation," added John McNeill, Label Lead, Signature at Splice. "It has provided the soundtrack to everything from social commentary and activism to love and leisure, this genre's impact can't be understated. With the launch of Signature we want creators to have access to sounds that are not only timeless, but important."

As soon as the first few bars start, the listener is hit with a constant barrage of huge kicks and trembling synth waves that wash over them. The heavy beats of warehouse-hewn rhythms tell all loyal techno followers to let go of their earthly bonds right away and become deliriously free in the groove’s cosmic flow. Stanton and Riot’s production creates an aural show so huge that it can only be fully experienced. It merges your body with a huge sound system at levels that are both blissful and dangerous.
As the classic anthemic voices soar gloriously above like angels’ wings, the whole stratospheric structure goes beyond its simple drum and synth parts and becomes a fully transformed, multidimensional phenomenon. All of a sudden, it pulses through every cell and nerve cell in the listener’s body, turning their brain receptors into colorful overload with each different beat. The song “All You’ve Got” completely removes the ego and speeds up the loss of individual identity to the point where only the soul’s limitless, free-roaming life force is left.
The listener is freed from the limits of earthly life in these high states of scorched awareness, and transcendent oblivion is reached under the churning industrial stomps and skull-scouring synth transmissions. A new generation of sound seekers will find that this piece is like a prism that shows them the pure core of peak-time psychedelic techno in a way that sounds burningly futuristic. There are transcendent threads of classic rave ecstasy and sublime melodic grace woven into the hyperdrive intensity. This creates the ultimate hands-in-the-air, sweat-dripping club anthem that will convert hordes of new fans with every drop of the bone-melting main riff.

That's the vision of Submersive, a groundbreaking spa concept conceived by Corvas Brinkerhoff, co-founder of the immersive arts giant Meow Wolf, according to Fast Company.
Brinkerhoff's forthcoming concept is reportedly set to land in Austin in a 25,000-square-foot sanctuary that's said to merge the healing traditions of communal bathhouses with innovative art and AI, curating a spa-like experience that transcends mere relaxation to offer a profound journey of mental and sensory rejuvenation.
Lua Brice/Submersive
Brinkerhoff's move from the fantastical installations of Meow Wolf to the introspective ambiance of Submersive is fueled by his passion for using art and the environment to influence well-being. He was inspired during a visit to a Japanese-style bathhouse in Santa Fe, when he imagined a blend of immersive art with the soothing elements of steam baths, saunas and cold plunges.
The concept has since evolved into a mission to harness neuroscience and AI tech to evoke states of awe and euphoria, fundamentally enhancing how visitors experience and benefit from a spa setting. At its core, Submersive promises an odyssey of the senses, challenging conventional wellness spaces by integrating video projections, steam, lasers and AI to create a transformative experience that transcends a visit to a conventional spa.
Submersive's proprietors are aiming to open its doors by 2026, with a full launch of the completed venue on track for 2028.

Knock2's live sets have turned heads throughout the dance music community as the EDM.com Class of 2023 star has delivered on a series of notable b2b performances in recent times, each seemingly more exhilarating than the last. From teaming up with RL Grime at Ultra Music Festival to joining forces with Dillon Francis at Imagine Music Festival, Knock2 has demonstrated a knack for dynamic performances that blend seamlessly with the styles of his high-profile peers.
His recent performance at Echostage alongside Zedd ignited with the stadium-filling chants of the latter's "Beautiful Now," setting a tone that would only build as the night progressed. The energy in the room escalated as the music morphed into a pulsating four-on-the-floor groove, intertwining melodically with Knock2 and NGHTMRE's "One Chance." Knock2's signature robust beats never failed to energize the crowd, maintaining a high-octane vibe throughout the 90-minute spectacle.
Amidst the familiar hits, the two also ventured into unexpected territories, including a thrilling excursion into drum & bass with Pendulum’s "Salt in the Wounds." Adding to the excitement, Knock2 previewed several unreleased tracks, including IDs with RL Grime, indicating that his meteoric journey is far from over.
"When this all came together at first it sounded like an insane idea, because Rich and I don't make the same type of music," Zedd said on the mic at one point. "But at the end all that matters is good people, good times and good music. It doesn't matter what genre it is."

Organizers of the festival had been preparing to welcome tens of thousands of revelers to Dagenham’s Central Park over the weekend of 25-26 May. However, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham has pulled the plug citing health and safety concerns with the site.
In a statement, the council said its “recent assessment of Central Park, after record levels of rainfall this year, has found the site cannot safely host the physical demands of We Are FSTVL’s equipment and audience.”
The move to the sprawling east London park was meant to be an exciting new chapter for We Are FSTVL after several years at its previous home in Upminster. Festival chiefs had invested significant time and money preparing Central Park, with new stages and immersive art installations planned.
They had also curated a lineup boasting major electronic acts like Chase & Status, Eric Prydz, Jamie Jones and Marco Carola. But those performers will now have to wait until 2025 to take to the We Are FSTVL stage.
A “devastated” crew of organizers released a full statement explaining the cancellation:
We Are FSTVL London While the festival organizers did not disclose specifics of what made Central Park unsafe to host the event, the wet grounds clearly posed too much risk after the record-breaking deluges seen across London recently.
The UK has experienced an extraordinarily sodden period, with England alone seeing 1,695.9mm of rainfall between October 2022 and March 2024 – the highest total for any 18-month span since records began in 1836. The previous record was just set the month prior.
Those relentless downpours have left their mark on outdoor events across the country. Just this month, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival was forced to relocate from its traditional Montpellier Gardens due to waterlogged fields.
While the cancellation is undoubtedly gutting for We Are FSTVL’s crew and attendees, public safety has to be the top priority. With the festival’s temporary infrastructure, staging, and crowds, any risk of ground disruption from the saturated soil posed an unacceptable hazard.
Organizers said all ticketholders will receive full refunds, with plans already underway to bring We Are FSTVL back “better than ever before” in 2025 at a location still to be determined.
“We are heartbroken by this decision and can’t wait to dance with you again in 2025 and show you everything we have been working on,” their statement reads.
The drenched grounds of Central Park will get a year off to recover from both the festival preparations and endless months of torrential rains. Whenever and wherever the next We Are FSTVL is held, organizers and revelers alike will be hoping for sunnier skies.

While Harvey is no stranger to DJ residencies — his pivotal Ministry of Sound sessions and Mercury Rising at Pikes Ibiza are the stuff of legend — this marks the first time he’s found a musical home in a venue he helped create from ground to sound. Opened with an all-night session by Harvey himself on New Year’s Eve, all aspects of Klymax are designed to Harvey’s specifications, with the seasoned selector pouring every ounce of a lifetime’s knowledge of nightclub experience into building the ideal space for himself, the crowd and the guest DJs he invites to play there. Every element is perfectly pitched to translate Harvey’s irrepressible dance floor sonics exactly as he envisions, from the DJ booth and sound system to the lighting and acoustics and, as he likes to say with a smile, down to the bathrooms.
Combining groundbreaking music and pioneering cinematics, Harvey has selected a series of films to be screened in Potato Head Soundspace during his Bali sojourn, with iconic titles from the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Ken Russell hand-picked to captivate cinephiles and music lovers alike.
Klymax Friday night sessions will feature guest DJs such as HAAi, Jonathan Kusuma, and Sophie McAlister, plus residents Seabass, Gero and Dita, completing a diverse and complementary lineup for what’s sure to be a memorable month of musical and visual immersion.

When you think of Ultra Music Festival, you likely gravitate towards Miami straight away. But we’re lucky enough to have them all over the world, celebrating parties far and wide. That is certainly a blessing for energetic crowds living in somewhat further places in the globe, like South America.
I’ve been here for a while, and it’s safe to say it’s growing a strong community of Dance-devoted madmen like me. I’ve been lucky enough to get to know the Argentinian scene fairly well, and also those in its neighbouring country, Chile. This is a country where Hardstyle reigns supreme, and genres like Techno and its branches are seeing a roaring uptrend in the number of fans and followers. So much so, that Ultra themselves decided to pay a visit. A two-day visit, mind you.
Ultra Chile: Its History
Chile had its first Ultra in 2013, with the next two years also calling artists from around the world to come together on the far southern end of the globe for Ultra Chile 2014 and 2015. The year after, Chile received a more compact Road To Ultra, as well as in 2017, for the Ultra host of those years was the continental giant, Brazil. After that, Chile would have to wait some time before the brand set foot on it again.
2023 saw Road To Ultra return to the long country for a Halloween party, headlined by Marshmello, Nicky Romero, Oliver Heldens, and Two Friends. And this year, the acclaimed main branch returned in full force, with two days of unstoppable beats coming from a handful of places, and showcasing an impressive plethora of talents, established, up-and-coming, returning… everything.
It was held on Friday, April 19th, and Saturday, April 20th, in Santiago’s iconic go-to place for massive events, Espacio Riesco.
Day One: Friday
Day One kicked off late in the afternoon, at 7 PM to be precise. The crowds started to appear from very early on. Once inside, it was time to have a look at the place, and, oh dear, they truly made the most out of the venue. Three of the four stages were on that day, the Mainstage, on the back of the property and boasting an impressive open-air setting, the Resistance stage, a blacked-out, massive former plane hangar to welcome the best Techno represents in the world, and the Carolina stage, a local-lineup filled stage out on the open.
Day One Winners
Jumping between the Mainstage and the Resistance stage allowed me to watch basically all artists for a little. That’s life at a festival, you can’t really marry one particular DJ. That said, I think I’ve got my favourite artist of the night, and it is Stephan Bodzin.
I had never watched him play, so I was basically going in not knowing what to expect. Add to that, I was at the Main seeing Armin before, so I didn’t really know what I was about to witness. Walking into Resistance, the first thing I noticed was that there was A TON of space to dance and just be yourself. The Mainstage was filled to the brim with people, and well, that left the Techno-devoted stage with a crowd that was truly enjoying Bodzin’s magic. I did too.
I swear, ten minutes in I was already fully hooked. Eyes closed, moving side to side, that kind of hooked. Him playing a live set was a tenfold amplifier as well, since he was interacting a lot with the audience, and the audience interacted a lot with him back. Ask me to name one track from his set, I can’t. But what I CAN recall vividly is how happy he was managing his instruments, and how happy the people dancing beside him were. I was one of them, fully gone away in a trance. A star for you, mate.
Day Two: Saturday
Day Two started quite earlier, promising twelve endless hours of good music. My friend — who flew in from Buenos Aires for the festival — and I entered the place just past 2:30 PM. And after a little day tour of the venue, we headed straight to the brand-new Resistance Square stage. Reason being, Daniella Da Silva was on at 3:00.
The stage itself was really interesting to me, since the Ultra guys turned this giant conference place into the host for the darkest, most energetic beats of the entire day. I remember my highschool once took me for University speeches or something of that kind literal years ago, and seeing it changed to fit a literal Ultra festival blew me away.
The other stages were just as breathtaking as the day before, and now places like the Mainstage enjoyed the geographic surroundings of Espacio Riesco: mountains for days. It was another level. Point for you, day parties!
Day Two Winners
Daniella Da Silva
My friend wanted to see her so badly, and I wanted to learn from someone new to me. Good. Lord. Those were 90 minutes of nonstop dancing. There are pictures and videos of me absolutely losing it during her set which I won’t show for, reasons, but let me tell you, her energy is sensational. Dark, Hard Techno. I’m not of the kind to enjoy that in a car ride or on a normal day, but I for sure allowed myself to enjoy her beats at Ultra. I felt slightly sore after that, and that should tell you enough of how good of a set hers was.
Hardwell
My childhood hero. How wouldn’t I have enjoyed Hardwell’s set when he was my role model when I was in school back in the day? Growing up loving ‘Encoded’, ‘Spaceman’, and his remix of ‘Man With The Red Face’, it was about time to see him again. Absolutely nuts. Lots of what he played I had heard before at his Ultra Miami set from earlier this year, but far from taking away from the experience, it allowed me to sing my lungs out. Special shoutout to that ‘Strobe‘ x ‘Save The World‘ mashup which nearly got me crying.
Kasablanca
These guys take the gold for me, no question. Seeing Hardwell, you know beforehand that it’s going to be a phenomenal show, but I had never seen Kasablanca before. I’d only heard their Anjuna tunes. And so my friend and I got to the very front of the Mainstage to see them. We could not have decided better.
They played a live set, just like Bodzin had done the day before. The difference here was the setting: While Stephan Bodzin played inside the warehouse vibe of the Resistance stage, Kasablanca did it out in the open. And their set just so happened to occur during the last hours of the day and into the night, sunset included.
They absolutely rocked it. From synths to vocals to literal choreography, their set had it all. They truly made good use of the Mainstage speakers as well, with their fat-bottomed tracks. I can’t tell you just how magical that time was, even the landscape fit the vibe of their music. Mountains all around, the clouds turning slightly red at sunset (see a few pictures above), and the moon reigning high aloft by the time they dropped their remix of Above & Beyond’s ‘Black Room Boy’. The duo take the gold, and my heart with it. I won’t turn down the possibility of seeing them in the future.
Final Thoughts
It had been a while since I last attended a big festival, since I’d been much more inclined to go to artist-focused events. It was a refreshing treat to come to Ultra Chile and soak in the festival experience again. My mate and I had a great time, enjoyed the food (shoutout to Papa John’s), the Gin Tonics, and the feel-good atmosphere. For now, be right back, I’ll be listening to Kasablanca!

The chart-topping duo has announced a new EP, No Hard Feelings, their first since 2016's Collage. That record features two of their three most-streamed songs, "Closer" and "Don't Let Me Down," which are prevalently considered generational dance anthems.
Kings of radio-ready vulnerability, The Chainsmokers have always been masters at bottling the emotional peaks and vulnerable valleys of modern life into their songwriting. The EP's title hints at another trip through the universal experiences of love, loss and self-discovery.
The Chainsmokers last week dropped "Friday," a self-described successor to their breakout hit "Roses." That single, as well as "Addicted," will appear on the upcoming EP alongside four new tracks. If those two records are any indication, fans can expect the hit-making tandem's signature blend of pop candor and contemporary dance production.
No Hard Feelings will release on May 10th via Disruptor/Columbia Records. You can pre-save the EP here and check out its tracklist below.

The chart-topping Norwegian producer, celebrated for his signature incognito performances, DJed without the signature mask and hood he'd been wearing since 2015. Nearly a decade following the success of his breakout hit "Faded," Walker also fittingly debuted a new show concept aptly titled "Unmasked."
In an evening that promised more than just a musical exhibition, the move marked a dramatic shift in his artistic presentation, creating a deeper connection with his audience and a fresh chapter in an already illustrious touring career. Under the neon lights of the new LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Walker also debuted a new single, "Unsure," which features singer and actress Kylie Cantrall.

This surprise event was a coup for New York City fans. Swedish House Mafia reportedly approached the venue and requested an early opening, and the Brooklyn Mirage gladly agreed. The show, held on April 27th, was a one-night-only event, creating a massive buzz and selling out in record time.
But the biggest news came after the show. In a social media post thanking the New York crowd, Swedish House Mafia addressed the highly anticipated track “Lioness.” expected last friday. They acknowledged fans noticing its absence and expressed their gratitude for their patience. The post revealed that while “Lioness” was planned for release, last-minute production tweaks were necessary after the live performance. Thrillingly, they declared that the Brooklyn Mirage audience experienced the final version, and “Lioness” is indeed coming soon!

It's a big moment for the Brazilian dance music superstar, who is less than a month away from the release of his long-awaited debut album, Promised Land. The album will feature 16 tracks, including collaborations with The Temper Trap, NoMBe and Goodboys, among others.
"Promised Land is the culmination of a four-year journey and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream," Vintage Culture said in a press release. "I've poured my heart into this album, and I believe it is reflected in the music. Promised Land represents the essence of who I am as an artist. Through my creative voyage as an artist, this complete piece of work is what I'm most proud of."
The world tour kicks off in Australia in early-May before traveling to Bali, Dubai, Amsterdam and other major international cities. Promised Land will then drop on May 24th and Vintage Culture will head to Miami the following night for what should be a barn-burner at the iconic Club Space.
From there, he'll head back to Brazil for a flurry of momentous homeland shows and then to Ibiza, Berlin, Paris and many more cities. Another surefire highlight will come on July 19th, when he DJs at the epochal 20th anniversary of Tomorrowland.
