Acclaimed electropop icon Róisín Murphy has released “The House (System Olympia Remix)” alongside the announcement of her upcoming remix album Hit Parade Remixes, out May 24. Reimagining her landmark album Hit Parade, Hit Parade Remixes dials up the vibrant, kaleidoscopic euphoria of Róisín’s eccentric artistry to dizzying new heights with the help of a cutting-edge cast of producers and DJs including Moodymann, System Olympia, Hernan Cattaneo and more.
“I’ve known System Olympia for a couple of years having reached out directly to her because I fell in love with her music,” shares Róisín. “We have collaborated on coming music for her project, and she put together an incredible DJ mix for my BBC 6music residency and curation. She’s a producer and songwriter of immense class. Her work is deeply funky sexy, and cool. She’s Italian, with all the cool stuff that goes along with that. She’s a sister.”
“I went to see Róisín’s latest show at Printworks,” adds System Olympia on the inspiration for the remix. “I got lost in the crowd by myself to absorb the power of her performance fully. I went home that night and used the incredible energy I had just experienced to make a remix that matched Róisín’s immensity as a performance artist.”
Hit Parade Remixes follows the release of Róisín’s critically acclaimed album Hit Parade, her collaboration with German producer DJ Koze. Described by Pitchfork as the best record of her career and “the kind of career-burnishing feat most artists can only dream of making,” Hit Parade received global praise from the likes of NPR, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Consequence, Stereogum, SPIN, Paper Magazine, The FADER, UPROXX, Paste, and more for melding disco, soul, house, and techno across singles such as “CooCool,” “The Universe,” and “Fader.”

Following its wildly successful European run, the North American leg of Róisín’s Hit Parade Tour kicks off June 7 in Brooklyn, NY, bringing her incomparable, larger than life and electrifying live performance and show-stopping wardrobe to major cities including New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, as well as Canadian stops in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.

Deadmau5, the iconic electronic music producer and performer, recently shared a fascinating anecdote during an interview with host Richard Vission on SiriusXM Pitbull’s Globalization show Powertools. In this candid conversation, Deadmau5 delved into the inception of his trademark mouse ears, shedding light on a quirky origin story that began as a lthearted joke with a friend. Let’s dive into the intriguing narrative behind the creation of one of the most recognizable symbols in the electronic music scene.
For fans of Deadmau5, the mouse ears have become synonymous with his persona, transcending the realm of music to become a powerful visual emblem that instantly evokes his unique brand of electronic sounds. The revelation of how this iconic accessory came to be is a testament to Deadmau5’s irreverent creativity and willingness to embrace the unexpected.
The Birth of the Mouse Ears
According to Deadmau5’s recounting of the story, the genesis of the mouse ears can be traced back to a casual encounter with a friend. As the two engaged in banter and jest, the idea of donning oversized mouse ears as a playful gimmick emerged as a spur-of-the-moment decision. Little did Deadmau5 know that this impromptu act would evolve into a defining aspect of his persona and stage presence.
The initial act of wearing the mouse ears was not calculated or strategic but rather a spontaneous expression of Deadmau5’s sense of humor and penchant for pushing boundaries. The unconventional nature of the accessory resonated with audiences and soon became a signature element of his performances, setting him apart in a sea of electronic music artists.
What started as a simple joke between friends blossomed into a visual motif that transformed Deadmau5 into a larger-than-life figure in the electronic music scene. The whimsical origins of the mouse ears underscore the importance of embracing spontaneity and embracing the unexpected in creative endeavors, a lesson that Deadmau5 continues to embody in his music and performances.
The Evolution of a Symbol
Over the years, the mouse ears have become more than just a visual accessory; they have come to represent a philosophy of creative freedom and authenticity that Deadmau5 embodies in his music and persona. The iconic silhouette of the mouse ears has transcended the confines of the electronic music world to become a cultural touchstone that resonates with fans across genres and generations.
As Deadmau5 continues to push boundaries and challenge conventions in his music and performances, the mouse ears remain a constant reminder of the power of embracing one’s unique identity and staying true to one’s creative vision. In a world that often demands conformity, Deadmau5 and his mouse ears stand as a beacon of individuality and artistic integrity, inspiring fans to embrace their quirks and celebrate what makes them truly unique.

New for 2024, DEX EFX X0X will debut exclusively across two shows at global stature festivals Movement Festival Detroit and Sónar Barcelona.

As two of the most important events in the dance music calendar; Movement Festival and Sónar each hold significant historical precedence where Richie Hawtin has premiered new show concepts over the last three decades and experimented with unique ways of performing, including Plastikman Live’ (2010) and his CLOSE concept (2017).

Anchored within the immersive fluidity in digital manipulation that Hawtin’s DJ performances have become synonymous with, DEX EFX X0X builds upon the concepts of his ‘Decks, EFX & 909” series of compilations from 1995 – 2005, using all the performance tools available today. DEX EFX XOX demonstrates equally the early foundations and future of DJing, representing an exciting evolutionary step in Richie Hawtin’s lifelong commitment to the development of the electronic music scene.
 
“Moving away from the current trend of shows giving the priority to the image rather than sound, DEX EFX X0X brings the audience back into an immersive sound & lighting experience. More club than concert. DEX EFX X0X continues my personal exploration of improvisation using modern performance technology resulting in a unique sonic narrative for each and every show.” Richie Hawtin

A genuine original and futurist, Richie Hawtin’s critical acclaim spans the creative realm of the fine art community to the technological vanguard and his Plastikman live shows have continually set new standards of visual art and technological innovation. As a performing artist, he is constantly pushing conceptual frontiers, and always moving the scene and its sound forward.

At every turn since in a long illustrious career, his position as a visionary technologist has been established with a series of innovations; pioneered new ways of performing, from early experiments with digital audio and visual media. He co-designed his own DJ mixer (the MODEL 1 from his own PLAYdifferently company); the Bullfrog educational synthesiser (with Erica Synths); created numerous innovative music technology apps; co-founder of the dominating electronic digital retail platform, Beatport; and is largely considered responsible for the shift from physical to digital DJing.
 
“Richie has consistently stood at the forefront of electronic music, always pushing the boundaries of sound and setting the standard for live performances. We’re excited to host the debut of Richie’s DEX EFX X0X performance – Movement attendees are going to be in for a truly unique experience from one of the most innovative artists of our generation.” Jason Huvaere, Paxahau co-founder / Festival Director, Movement Music Festival
 
“Richie Hawtin never stops moving forward, he’s always exploring how he can use technology to evolve his music and sound, as well as how it’s presented in front of an audience. It’s why we’re always keen to have him at Sónar: we know that he brings something new and different to the stage every time.” Enric Palau, Co-Director, Sónar Festival
 
Always sharing these artistic and creative leaps through his shows, Richie Hawtin welcomes as many as he can to ideas and experiences that would have seemed pure science fiction when he began his career as a DJ and producer in the emerging techno scene in Detroit. It seems only fitting, therefore, that his return to live performance with DEX EFX X0X will be performed at two of the world’s most prestigious festival stages.

Those who have been to EDC Las Vegas know it's not just a music festival—it's a canvas for memories.
The concrete of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway transforms into a mosaic for self-expression each May. Here, worries and burdens shed like snakeskin, replaced by a shared heartbeat soundtracked by the very best in electronic dance music.
And if you've been there, you can attest there aren't many festivals on earth where the euphoria is this palpable. The air itself thickens with the collective energy of thousands as EDC's grounds transform into a patchwork of palpitating rave culture, individuality melting away with the sweat.
EDC returns to Las Vegas from May 17-19 with a scintillating lineup and big changes to the festival's layout. But before we enter the technicolor dreamworld of EDC once more, we're highlighting five artists you cannot miss at this year's festival in Sin City.
Kasablanca
After revealing a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis in January, Micky Kasablanca of the Kasablanca duo is now in remission and performing melodic miracles on the world's biggest stages. They're now working on their debut album, so fans attending their EDC set are in for quite a treat.

Sara Landry
Sara Landry, fans of whom affectionately call the "High Priestess of Hard Techno," stands as a dark horse for EDC's best performance as the genre's popularity continues to soar in the US. Landry, who was recently named to the EDM.com Class of 2024, fearlessly pushes the tempo to the bleeding edge.
Jon Casey
One of trap's most underrated producers, Jon Casey is primed to tear up EDC with his inimitable blend of thunderous bass and vocal-driven ache. It's a sound to which you can either cry or purge, a unique kind of energy that should translate well in the concrete jungle of EDC.
Subtronics b2b LEVEL UP
Husband and wife will shred the Speedway when Subtronics and LEVEL UP perform together for the first time. Their rip-roaring dubstep will take over EDC's towering mainstage for a hotly anticipated set that will attract one of the weekend's biggest crowds.

[IVY]
As drum & bass continues to explode through the stateside dance music scene, [IVY] has emerged as one of the genre's brightest producers. Having rocked many major festival stages and garnered acclaim from BBC Radio 1, she's inspiring a new generation of women producing drum & bass.
"We just need to power through and show men that we are worthy of being here, just as much as they are," she told us in a recent interview.

Eleven years ago, the electronic dance music community was gifted with ‘Reload’, a track that became an instant classic and an anthem in the EDM world. The initial collaboration between Sebastian Ingrosso, one of the stalwarts of Swedish House Mafia, and Australian producer Tommy Trash, resulted in an electrifying instrumental track released in 2012. However, it was the addition of John Martin‘s powerful vocals in 2013 that transformed ‘Reload’ into a monumental track that captivated audiences worldwide.
Sebastian Ingrosso, fresh off the success of his massive hit ‘Calling (Lose My Mind)’ with Alesso, continued to demonstrate his prowess as a producer and label head of Refune with ‘Reload’. Tommy Trash brought his distinctive energy and style, known for robust and dynamic electro house flavors, which perfectly complemented Ingrosso’s polished production. The decision to bring in John Martin, known for his emotive and soaring vocals on Swedish House Mafia‘s ‘Don’t You Worry Child’, proved to be inspired.

After a turbulent 2023, which saw the Desert Hearts crew nix their multi-day lakeside plans for a city spinoff, the team behind the quirky transformative festival is gearing up for a whole new experience in 2024.
Set to take place July 4-8, this year's Desert Hearts Festival will say goodbye to the Golden State and hop over to the scenic Arizona mountains for four days of non-stop revelry. The picturesque locale, which sits 30 minutes outside Flagstaff, will envelop attendees with its ponderosa pine forest 7,000 feet above the Grand Canyon State. 
Speaking about the move from their longtime California home, Desert Hearts co-founder Mikey Lion echoed the frustration felt across the industry. "The festival industry is in a make-or-break moment as it grapples with rising costs, market saturation and a stalling economy," he said. "Independent festivals and the communities that grow around them are the heart and soul of the music world, but they are struggling to survive."
With a little less than two months before the sounds of house and techno envelop the Coconino National Forest, the Desert Hearts Crew has unveiled the roster of artists who will be performing throughout the Independence Day Weekender.  Notable artists include Walker & Royce, VNSSA, Mary Droppinz, Nala, Rinzen, Ardalan, Lubelski and Anja Schneider, among others.
Lion also emphasized the unique approach taken to the programming at Desert Hearts compared to other festivals.
“While many festivals focus on recycling the same trending headliners to compete with festival giants, Desert Hearts is taking a different approach," he explained. "This year our festival is focused on building up our community, showcasing label friends and family, talented local DJs, and a number of our favorite international touring artists... We’re essentially programming a 72-hour DJ set with the right artists playing the right music at the right time. Everything Desert Hearts Festival does is geared towards creating the best possible vibe, and on July 4th weekend, we're going to throw the best party in the world."
Desert Hearts Festival is set to take place July 4-8 at Playa Ponderosa outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. For tickets, camping and other information, navigate here.

Still buzzing from the release of her emotionally charged anthem "Limbo," Charli Lark is once again making waves through the release of five intoxicating club remixes for the dark electro-pop track.
Lark is set to captivate her ever-growing audience with this exciting foray into dance music. Collaborating with some of the UK's finest dance music talent, she tapped LIMIT3R, Charlotte Van de Peer, Ruff Loaderz, Until Dawn and Wilson for official remix duties of “Limbo.”
“Limbo” delves into the theme of liberation and empowerment, drawing from Lark's personal experiences. Reflecting on the single and the remix bundle, she said the song "has that sense of freedom, that alive feeling, and that’s exactly how I want to feel in the club."
Each remixer infuses “Limbo” with heaps of energy, turning it into a DJ weapon designed for the dancefloor. The reworks offer a fresh perspective on the original track; Carlotte Van de Peer’s take leans more towards the tech house side while Ruff Loaderz and LIMIT3R’s remixes take an irresistibly funky turn.
For fans of Lark and electronic music enthusiasts alike, the new "Limbo" remix pack is an electrifying listening experience. She aims to inspire and connect with her audience on a profound level, and this fresh, dancefloor-ready release is bound to do just that.

Imagine connecting your phone to a satellite hundreds of kilometers away using regular Bluetooth! That’s exactly what Hubble Network, a tech startup, just achieved for the first time ever. They needed just a software update on the Earth-based device, opening the door to a future where Bluetooth can connect to satellites.
Hold on, how is this possible when your Bluetooth headphones sometimes struggle a few feet away? Here’s the trick: Hubble Network’s satellites have special antennas that act like magnifying glasses for Bluetooth signals. Plus, their clever software update boosts communication range.
This breakthrough lets regular Bluetooth devices talk to satellites using low power, a first in the industry. It’s all thanks to Hubble Network’s founders, a dream team of tracking technology experts. They even overcame challenges like the Doppler effect, which messes with radio signals due to the satellite’s high speed.
Hubble Network
Founded in Seattle by Alex Haro (of Life360 fame) and Ben Wild (founder of Iotera, a GPS tracking company), Hubble Network has been on a roll. They raised a cool $20 million earlier this year, showing the excitement around their revolutionary idea.
Think about a smart doorbell that keeps working even if the Wi-Fi goes out, or sensors on an oil rig that can send data without needing a ton of power. With Hubble’s network, these wouldn’t be problems anymore.
Hubble’s network does more than just connect things – it allows them to share way more information than just location. This could be a game-changer for tons of industries, from keeping track of deliveries to monitoring wildlife. Basically, Hubble Network is taking the familiar tech of Bluetooth and supercharging it for a whole new world of possibilities.
Hubble Network has only begun its audacious mission. Their initial toehold consists of just two orbiting satellites, a mere shadow of their planned “production constellation” of 36. Yet, these two pioneers have already achieved a connection stretching 600km – a testament to the ingenuity behind Hubble’s vision.
Their roadmap is ambitious, bordering on fantastical. A “beta constellation” of four satellites, slated for launch in early 2025, promises users a taste of the future: daily connectivity for low-bandwidth devices. But the true prize lies ahead – a massive launch in 2026 unleashing the full 36-satellite network. This behemoth, Hubble contends, will transform the landscape of global connectivity, enabling a staggering billion devices to talk directly to satellites via Bluetooth. (Source)

We went to M2 for Carl Cox & Mathame this past Race Week. For those who have been to the prior iteration of this club, M2 is bigger, better, and completely reimagined. The production is frankly unmatched and the club has it more than deserved to be on any of the world’s top clubs list. The staff are also hardworking and very friendly.
As for the Selecta Friday night, Carl Cox — as usual — did not disappoint. King Carl took us all on a magical journey playing mostly hard, dark Techno tracks, letting tons of IDs slide throughout the night. I particularly enjoyed when he dropped a remix of DMX’s ‘Ruff Ryder’s Anthem’ (I really appreciated this as a transplant New Yorker). The night went on just how you’d expect: the King made his entire kingdom move to his beats. This, mind you, was delivered in the form of a massive 5-hour marathon set from 1 AM to 6 AM.
Saturday came and we were ready for Round Two. Mathame dropped a very impressive set that took us all on a journey. Nothing was in the way of him electrifying the crowd with his peculiar sound. One that can only be described as a hypnotizing, unique and forward-thinking blend of techno, melody, and emotion that left us clueless about space and time. We were just there and then, nothing else.
Pairing M2’s superb production with the masterclass of Resistance, Carl Cox, and Mathame’s sets is like paring a fine Cabernet with a juicy churrasco. Having been to nearly every show this Resistance season, we look forward to seeing what they have in store next season! These shows and the crowds that flock to them show that Techno has busted its way into the mainstream and it is here to stay. We for one at EDMTunes are happy about it, and can’t wait for the future of Resistance returning to M2 for season 2!
