Tim Bergling Foundation Announces Return of "Dance for Life" Initiative

Hope is never far away in the midst of a dance—a concept the Tim Bergling Foundation knows all too well. The foundation, whose namesake pays homage to the late Avicii, recently took to social media to announce the return of its "Dance For Life" initiative.
Organized in Sweden to raise awareness of Suicide Prevention Day, which occurs on September 10th, the initiative originated last year at Lund's Polhemskolan high school and successfully danced its way to change, garnering participation from over 120 schools. Its objective is to gather students together in song and confront the conversation surrounding suicide prevention, and all the ways in which their peers can be heard in the midst of their struggles.
"Today, on average, three young people take their lives each week," the foundation wrote. "Dance for Life is working to change this by spreading awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide."

The Tim Bergling Foundation is managed by Avicii's family, who made it their mission to advocate for the recognition of suicide as a global health crisis through philanthropic endeavors. Spearheaded by Avicii's father, Klas Bergling, the organization has carried out a multitude of events in the artist's honor after his tragic death by suicide in April 2018.
The foundation is encouraging any schools ranging from elementary to adult education centers to sign up to be a part of the heartening event. Registration comes with access to choreography that students can learn together as well as helpful health tips on the topic of suicide prevention.
You can find out more about "Dance for Life" via the Tim Bergling Foundation website.

Nicholas Routledge of the electro-pop band Van She sings on the title track “Never The Same.” The record is led by lush piano chords and lustful singing.
“Skin,” on the other hand, is mesmerizing with its long instrumental builds. When put together, Never The Same is an amazing storm of deep techno and music that will go beyond dance floors everywhere.

LSDREAM and CloZee Drop Pair of Singles Ahead of Hotly Anticipated LSZEE Album

In December 2023, LSDREAM and CloZee announced the launch of LSZEE, a collaborative project foreshadowing a barrage of the majestic, spacey sounds they've long mastered. And as fans anxiously await the release of their debut album, the duo has now given them a cosmic taste by virtue of a pair of new singles, "FRENCH DREAM" and "CHRYSALIS."
Within its first minute, the former track beams listeners into outer space with ease and finesse, but not before asking, "Can this be a French dream?" After that initial blastoff, LSZEE drop a bouncy beat complemented by funky trumpet patterns, wobbly bass and fun ad-libs sprinkled throughout.
Meanwhile, they "CHRYSALIS" with the same helixes of DNA but infuse a different sound, reminiscent of a life well-traveled and well-contemplated. Slower-burning and meditative, the song is a carefully-crafted concoction of organic production and hypnotic vocals, all flowing freely through a cohesive arrangement.
In the span of just two songs, LSDREAM and CloZee beautifully showcase the range of their debut album, wherein fans are bound to experience the bass-fueled whimsy of their signature sounds. The album is due out on September 27th, 2024.
"Back in 2022 we did a studio trip in Joshua Tree to work on a few collabs," LSZEE said in a joint statement. "We tapped into the most abundant creative spark, and the music just started flowing. We kept writing more and more songs, exploring new ideas that inspired us, and having the best time, being in awe of each others creativity."
Fans will hear "FRENCH DREAM" and "CHRYSALIS" as a part of LSZEE's ambitious new live show, which will soon head to Electric Forest, North Coast, Bass Canyon and Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, among others. You can find the new singles on streaming platforms here.

Matisse & Sadko's "Verve" Is a Progressive House Masterstroke Dripping With Festival Nostalgia

Matisse & Sadko are back with "Verve," a triumphant resurrection of the progressive house sound that once ruled the EDM festival circuit.
The tenured dance music duo has masterfully recaptured the serotonin rush of those euphoric, hands-in-the-air moments, distilling them into a soaring instrumental track. It's a sound they've mastered for well over a decade, leading to countless festival anthems released alongside Martin Garrix, Tiësto, John Martin and many more.
"Verve" builds with a swelling potency, layering intricate keys with pulsating bass. Matisse & Sadko eventually uncork a cathartic drop, a crescendoing waterfall of synths that washes over you with an almost cleansing intensity.
All said and done, the sublime track is a masterclass in progressive house that reminds us why we fell in love with the genre in the first place. When asked whether or not that nostalgic sound is making a comeback on the festival circuit, Matisse & Sadko said they anticipate a resurgence.
"Of course we cannot predict the future, but we see that this genre carries an emotion that is difficult to express in any other style of music," the duo told EDM.com. "This is a rare combination of joy and sadness at the same time, energy and bright mood. We believe that this genre has great prospects and is again ready to take its place of honor at the biggest festivals."

Dom Dolla Drops Summer House Anthem, "girl$"

After amassing over 46 million views prior to release, Dom Dolla has released "girl$" just in time for summer.
Out now via Three Six Zero Recordings, "girl$" is a seductive and confident tech house track reminiscent of Dolla's signature, energetic style. The track blends an earworm of a bassline with vocals from Caitlin Stubbs and vox bits from the Aussie house music superstar himself.
Dolla says "girl$" was inspired by a conversation with friends, who became jaded by today's dating scene and ultimately decided to give up.
"In '24 we have so much choice," he said in a press release. "Nobody is limited by who they want to love or spend time with... whether that's a guy, girl, or even just relish in their own company."
The hotly anticipated single arrives right before a massive run of shows for Dolla, who will soon DJ at Electric Forest, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Austin City Limits and Tomorrowland's momentous 20th anniversary festival, among others.

Martin Garrix, DubVision and Shaun Farrugia Reunite for Breathtaking Single, "Wherever You Are"

Progressive house anthems are now second nature for Martin Garrix, DubVision and Shaun Farrugia, who have reunited for a new single, "Wherever You Are."
The group, whose 2022 hit Starlight (Keep Me Afloat)" continues to send festival crowds to cloud nine, is back on Garrix's STMPD RCRDS after he premiered the track during his show-stopping Ultra Miami 2024 set.
A soaring testament to love's boundless pursuit, the production of "Wherever You Are" is signature Garrix and DubVision, who've once again managed to produce a cascading torrent of euphoric synths and palpitating basslines atop Farrugia's impassioned vocals.
His lyrics take the song to stratospheric heights, painting a visceral portrait of its central promise: to conquer any obstacle for the sake of love. "I'll tear the heavens apart, just to be in your arms," he belts.
"'Wherever You Are' is more than just a song," Farrugia said in a statement. "It's the feeling so many of us feel inside our hearts, gives us purpose, and remembers the ones we've lost along the way." Take a listen below.
The track's origins can be traced back to a modest video call between Garrix, DubVision and Farrugia, who ultimately connected in Amsterdam to work on the record before finishing it just hours before Ultra.
"This song is a special one for me... This song was just pure joy to make," Garrix gushed.

Listen: Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo Reunite for New Music 13 Years After "Give Me Everything"

Picture this with a Kodak: Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo have reunited over a decade after releasing "Give Me Everything."
Back in 2011, Mr. Worldwide seduced us all to the dancefloor with the smash hip-house hit, which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at the time and appeared on his fan-favorite Planet Pit album. The track, which features Ne-Yo's buttery vocals and Afrojack's signature "Dirty Dutch" production, ultimately grew into a generational dance anthem.
13 years after their iconic collaboration dominated the airwaves, Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo are back to transport us to a time when hashtags were just becoming a thing and everyone was still reeling from the end of the Harry Potter film series. The trio today released their new single, "2 The Moon," out now via Pitbull's Mr. 305 Records.
A planetary call to hedonistic nights with a partner, "2 The Moon" recaptures the feverish energy and head-over-heels rapture of its predecessor, which joined Spotify's elusive billion-streams club in early-2024.

Elderbrook unveils his new single ‘Shallow Water’

Elderbrook · Elderbrook – Shallow Water Grammy-winning DJ and producer Elderbrook unveils his new single ‘Shallow Water’, out now.
Building around a poignant vocal and uplifting organs, ‘Shallow Water’ is a pulsating and life-affirming single. The single also coincides with an enchanting official video on release day, directed by PhĂșĂłng VĆ« with the creative direction of Charlie Rees.
The director PhĂșĂłng VĆ« commented “In traditional Vietnamese folklore, the sky is represented by the shape of a circle, while the earth is a square. Developing upon this idea, we wanted the video to feature Vietnam’s most stunning and raw natural landscapes, in combination with holistic choreography to present the human element along with giant, abstract and surreal spheres and cubes that symbolize the earth and the sky.”
It follows Elderbrook’s triumphant 2024 return in April with ‘Glad I Found You’, his collaboration with esteemed dance producer George FitzGerald.
Speaking on the record “In “Shallow Water”, the cards are down, bottom reached and there is nowhere left to go. Our subject has to be better, do better. The song hinges on these bargaining chips, on the get out clauses we give ourselves when we want to change but know it will be hard. It grapples with questions of integrity and our desire to better ourselves against the knowledge that true and meaningful change is difficult and often messy. It’s the never ending self doubt given a voice.”

Having toured his acclaimed sophomore album Little Love last year with sold-out shows across the US, UK, Canada and Europe, as well as playing a sold out headline show at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre this Spring, the singer-songwriter has a massive summer headline show coming up at New York’s Brooklyn Mirage on Friday, June 14th.
Following that, Elderbrook has various shows in Ibiza this summer and another packed festival season in store, with appearances at Festivals including the likes of Boardmasters in the UK, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits & Osheaga.
Having toured with the likes of Jungle, Rufus Du Sol and Odesza, racked up over 2 billion streams to date and made a 2023 Coachella starring appearance, Elderbrook continues to prove himself a frontrunner in the electronic scene. ‘Shallow Water’ continues his roaring 2024 with a top-tier club anthem teeming with heart and soul.

Cercle announces ‘Cercle Odyssey’ dates and cities: Mexico City, Los Angeles and Paris

Cercle announces the dates and locations for Cercle Odyssey. Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Paris will be among the few cities to host the world’s first large-scale 360-degree immersive nomad concert installation. Cercle Odyssey will take place on April 25th and 26th, 2025, in Mexico City, and on May 9th and 10th, 2025, in Los Angeles. The exact locations in both cities will be announced soon. On May 30th and 31st, 2025, Cercle Odyssey will come to Paris at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of the largest exhibition centres in the French capital, located fifteen minutes from the Eiffel Tower.
Each Cercle Odyssey’s capacity will be limited for a better experience. Pre-register HERE, to get preferred access to the ticket pre-sale opening this Monday, the 10th. General sale opens Tuesday, the 11th at 11 AM CDMX time / 10 AM LA time / 7 PM Paris time https://odyssey.cercle.io/
A JOURNEY BEYOND THE CONCERT
Cercle Odyssey is a revolutionary experience that redefines live entertainment, offering a transcendental journey within an art installation. An odyssey through music, nature, and colours. Each Cercle Odyssey will be unique, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience every time. Attend one or several; no two will be the same.
“My current obsession is to create the shortest connection between the music played by the artist, the video narrative that we will present live on the screens and the audience’s emotions. I want to connect these 3 things together at the deepest level and I believe this is still underdeveloped in the entertainment industry. If, by the end of a Cercle Odyssey show, I see people on the dance floor literally moved to tears, then I will consider it a success.” Derek Barbolla (Cercle founder and Creative Director)
Cercle Odyssey redefines the concert experience by intimately blending live music with a new type of visual storytelling within a 360° projection panorama. This modern odyssey, inspired by the myth of Ulysses, Cercle Odyssey, offers a multi-dimensional experience: Odyssey comes to each person, provoking that deep feeling of fulfilment upon returning home after a long journey.
“Visually, we will keep up and even transcend our very specific and unique Cercle signature. The videos will be real, human and natural. We feel that we need this sort of humanity in the content, in a world where we sometimes feel disconnected from nature, from Earth
 We are actually going the opposite way of most of the visuals we currently see in the electronic music scene. We will be working with the amazing Neels Castillon as a film director and the narrative and visual structure of Cercle Odyssey will revolve around the universal quest of “returning home,” inspired by the adventures of Homer’s hero. A few characters will evolve through encounters, beautiful landscapes, and natural phenomena, which merge through a prism of vivid and intimate colours. Each concert will be completely unique, and will unfold like a living painting.”  Derek Barbolla
Neels Castillon, globally represented by Ridley Scott Creative Group and co-founder of Motion Palace, will oversee the direction of Cercle Odyssey’s videos, infusing them with his distinct narrative style. The esteemed director is acclaimed for his ability to capture intimate and poetic moments in his films. With a distinctive aesthetic and keen artistic sensitivity, his work explores the human connection with nature and its vast, unexplored landscapes, making him a natural fit to bring Cercle Odyssey’s immersive vision to life.
MUSIC AT THE HEART 
In terms of musical programming, Cercle Odyssey will collaborate with artists from various genres and backgrounds. The hallmark of careful musical curation lies in the selection of artists whose compositions seamlessly blend auditory and visual elements. These artists are revered for crafting music that resonates acoustically and paints vivid mental landscapes. 
The artists who will play at each Cercle Odyssey date will be revealed later in the year.
POWERFUL AND PRECISE SOUND SPATIALIZATION
Cercle also teams up with the Sound Experience Team of Ircam Amplify, to provide an unparalleled sound experience. By incorporating the company’s cutting-edge technology, this partnership will enable the spatialization of live artists’ music, transforming a stereo source into an immersive sonic landscape. Cercle Odyssey’s audience will experience immersive and precise sound, with a unique listening experience no matter where in the structure.
INNOVATION MEETS SUSTAINABILITY
Cercle’s scenography is a marvel of engineering and imagination, blending cutting-edge technology with sustainable design. 
“The scenography we created for Cercle, in its pure form, serves as a bridge between the event venue and the surrounding world, like a panoramic window onto the planet we inhabit. The monumental doors that comprise Odyssey transport us on a journey between dream and reality, between sky and earth, through space and time.” – Victor Perrin & Samuel Chatain, RAINBOW, Scenography Studio
Central to the technical prowess are the 2300 mÂČ of giant projection screens enveloping the audience. These state-of-the-art screens are 10 to 12 meters (up to 40 feet) high and up to 55 meters (up to 180 feet) long. Inspired by traditional movie screens, they showcase a dynamic array of high-quality images shot in 8K, meticulously synchronized live with the music. What sets Cercle Odyssey apart is not only the technical innovation but also its commitment to sustainability, due to all of the equipment (sound, light, and projectors) being sourced and rented locally. By opting for 29 state-of-the-art projectors instead of traditional LED screens to illuminate the scenography, Cercle eliminates the need to transport a massive load of LED screens. This drastically reduces transportation emissions and energy consumption. The use of projectors also represents a technical achievement. Cercle’s team seamlessly integrates these projectors to create a visually stunning experience that rivals traditional methods, all while maintaining a smaller carbon footprint.
NO PHONE POLICY
To ensure that every audience member can fully immerse themselves in the experience, phones are strictly forbidden inside the scenography. By disconnecting from digital distractions, attendees can focus solely on the emotive journey unfolding, allowing the music and visuals to transport them to new realms without interruption. This fosters a shared sense of presence and connection, amplifying the collective experience. However, as a parting souvenir, each guest will receive a folder of filmed content from Cercle.
Cercle Odyssey pre-sales will open this Monday (June 10th). Pre-register HERE, to get preferred access to the ticket pre-sale opening this Monday, the 10th. General sale opens Tuesday, the 11th at 11 AM CDMX time / 10 AM LA time / 7 PM Paris time https://odyssey.cercle.io/
“I consider Cercle as an artistic movement, and I believe that all artistic endeavours must always evolve. Cercle’s mission is and will always be to create unique stages for unique artists. We will keep doing shows and festivals in unique locations!” Derek Barbolla

NEOTEK Continues To Make His Mark With Annihilating Single ‘Virtualise’

Known for his ever-evolving signature sound spanning bass, trap, dubstep, and more, the internationally acclaimed artist NEOTEK has gathered a global following of like-minded listeners who are not afraid to explore the realms of the electronic music scene. Garnering over four million streams on Spotify alone, the global sensation has become recognized as a true leader and force in the dubstep and bass scene. From teaching students his music production abilities to touring across Australia at Bohemian Beatfreaks Festival, The Ivy Sydney, and Chinese Laundry, NEOTEK does it all and there is no stopping this bass heavyweight from continuing to make his mark in the music industry. After recently revealing his bass-induced collaboration with VRG for ‘COFFINS’, NEOTEK is back for more with the release of ‘Virtualise’ out now via Create Music Group.
Rapidly firing an insane amount of bass which flows directly into a heart-pounding pace, NEOTEK is calling all those bass enthusiasts to come out for this one. As the sirens are going off along with mechanical synths and powerful instrumentals, the crown jewel of the track comes in the form of its vocal interlude. With a hard-hitting sound design and a fury of madness across the single, NEOTEK’s dedication and passion for his craft do not go unnoticed.
“I wanted to create something that completely represented my brand and vision for the project. All my influences combined with the cyberpunk/futuristic soundscapes, high energy builds and breathtaking drops. I’m very happy with the finished result and I think this is a big step into doubling down on my long term artistic vision for the project.” – NEOTEK
NEOTEK has recently partnered with Create Music Group for music distribution, joining the ranks of renowned artists such as Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, and Jennifer Lopez. This collaboration is expected to greatly accelerate his growth and help make this song a viral sensation. An immediate summer anthem that will be rinsed across venues and festivals this summer, be on the lookout for NEOTEK as he lures his global fanbase one futuristic beat at a time and prepares for his long-awaited debut to the United States as the anticipation builds for fans to see him live for the very first time.

Skrillex And Fred again.. Turned Up The Heat At Civic Center Plaza

*Featured Cover Photo Credit: Julian Bajsel
On Saturday, June 1, Skrillex and Fred again.. electrified over 25,000 fans who showed up at San Francisco‘s Civic Center Plaza to see an unforgettable set from the two EDM stars. Though the plans had been in the works for a few months, Skrillex and Fred again.. had announced the event the weekend prior, with the former even uploading a post on X to confirm the San Francisco super-rave. Both EDM maestros then uploaded Instagram Story clips that included Ticketmaster links for the event, which went on sale at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28th.
The tickets quickly sold out and in a matter of time, even local and national news outlets such as ABC7 discussed the must-see event and the impact it would bring to the San Francisco entertainment scene. Here is the summary of one of the most-anticipated live events in San Francisco’s vibrant entertainment history.

When June 1st arrived, the event organizers and city officials (and staff) readied for the large turnout that would fill up the plaza in a matter of minutes. Although the event officially kicked off at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 10 p.m., to properly adhere to San Francisco’s curfew regulations regarding outdoor music events. Even way before 6:30 p.m., large crowds filled up the Civic Center Plaza and anticipated an event where it would take some time for anyone to get through the crowds and back onto an open space. Around the whole event area were plenty of food trucks, drink booths, and even the merch booth (later sold out of items) for the fans to bring home to their fans and family a memorable piece of merchandise from the event.
When Skrillex and Fred again.. came onto the decks, the fans roared wildly in excitement and they knew that, no pun intended in relation to Skrillex’s awesome collaborative track with Boys Noise, it was going to be a fine day. Both artists played world-class bangers including ‘Peekaboo‘, ‘Badders‘, ‘Pepper‘, and the Sonny’s latest track that he produced alongside Hamdi and Taichu, ‘Push‘. The EDM stars themselves made incredible moments such as hyping up the fans by standing next to the decks and turning up the heat even more than it already had been. Towards the end of the event, Fred again.. even brought out Anderson .Paak to perform their latest track, ‘places to be’ and the crowd got even more excited when they saw the latter arrive on stage.

The event was a success and most definitely brought back a lot of vibrancy to the city of San Francisco. The strobe lights, the mesmerizing visuals shown in the backdrop of City Hall behind the stage, the top-quality music, and the genuine vibes of the crowd even attracted a crowd of curious locals and tourists who did not plan on attending the event, recorded clips and also danced to the beats and rhythms that Skrillex and Fred again.. provided. At the moment of this writing, Fred again.. is going to perform the last of his three-date shows at Stanford‘s Frost Amphitheater later today. He had already performed on June 4 and 5 and if anyone is interested in attending his event tonight, here is the link to purchase tickets for it.

Framework To Bring Duke Dumont, Nora En Pure, Hot Since 82, And More To LA This Summer

Framework, one of the world’s leading independent purveyors of underground music experiences, will bring a tour-de-force of house and techno to Los Angeles this summer. The LA-based event production will continue showcasing expertly-curated lineups at various locations across the city, hosting headlining performances from celebrated selectors like Duke Dumont, Nora En Pure, Hot Since 82, Francis Mercier, and more.
Framework’s summer schedule kicked off last weekend with Framework Presents Solomun, which saw the underground kingpin, Solomun, perform a genre-spanning, six-hour set in Exposition Park. Framework backdropped the marathon performance with one of their most elaborate stage designs yet: a massive, custom-built replica power plant replete with detailed projection mapping, pyro, and Tesla coils shooting out lightning bolts. 
Francis Mercier – 6/29
Later this month, Framework will bring Haitian house music DJ/producer Francis Mercier to LA’s Chinatown district for a special set at Gin Ling Way. Taking place on Saturday, June 29, Framework Presents Francis Mercier represents the next chapter in a close-knit relationship between Framework and the highly touted afro-house DJ.

Next month, Framework will team up with Goldenvoice for Duke Dumont All Night Long (Warehouse Edition), which is already sold out. Taking place Saturday, July 13, the show will mark the debut live concert experience at the legendary Red Studios Hollywood, with Framework transforming the 100+ year-old treasure of cinematic history into a bonafide dancefloor for the very first time in the venue’s history. Located in the heart of Hollywood, Red Studios is one of one of Hollywood’s premier boutique studio spaces, and has remained the ideal location for filmmakers and producers dating back from the silent film era in the 1920s to the award-winning pictures of today.
Anjunadeep Open Air – 7/2
Closing out July with a bang, Framework will return to Exposition Park’s Expo Lawn West on Saturday, July 20 for Anjunadeep Open Air Los Angeles. Marking the first-ever collaboration between Framework and the Above & Beyond-imprint Anjunadeep, Anjunadeep Open Air Los Angeles will feature a stirring marathon of deep-house soundscapes headlined by San Francisco-bred producer Luttrell, with support from CRi (DJ Set), Nicky Elisabeth, Romain Garcia, and Qrion – all making their Framework-branded debuts.
Hot Since 82 – 8/10
Then on Saturday, August 10, Framework will return to Expo Lawn West for Knee Deep In Los Angeles, which will commemorate the long-standing collaboration between Framework and renowned UK DJ/producer Hot Since 82. Headlined by Hot Since 82 with support from PRUNK and Ky William, Knee Deep In Los Angeles will follow previous Framework x Hot Since 82 events at Pershing Square, Sound Nightclub, and West 5th Street.

To wrap up its stacked summer of events, Framework will host deep house icon Nora En Pure and her Purified brand for Nora En Pure Presents Purified at Expo Lawn West. Taking place on Sunday, August 11, Nora En Pure Presents Purified will be Framework’s first official collaboration with the Purified brand (though Nora En Pure has played Framework’s Sound Nightclub a handful of times over the past several years). Concluding the summer with idyllic underground sounds, the event will be headlined by Nora En Pure with support from Justin Martin, Worakls, Jono Stephenson, and Tim Enso.
