Mersiv and Tape B Connect With Juicy J for Wobbly Collaboration, "Trippy Land"

Mersiv and Tape B have landed on Deadbeats with a career-defining track, joining forces with hip-hop luminary Juicy J for a high-powered bass anthem, "Trippy Land."
"Trippy Land" lives up to its name. Mersiv and Tape B, two rising stars in the bass music scene, push the boundaries of their sound design, adding even greater depth to the hypnotic atmospheres they concoct. The track is entirely unpredictable as Juicy J's distorted vocals lead us through a growling, bass-fueled arrangement. 
Juicy J's performance is yet another signature one, expanding on his already impressive discography of electronic music collaborations. He remains as commanding as ever with boisterous verses that should make the track a fan-favorite for both Mersiv and Tape B, the latter of whom has made nostalgic, hip-hop-inspired bangers his calling card.

Luci's new era is here. 
The EDM.com Class of 2021 inductee has released a new single, "Drugs," marking her debut on Seven Lions' Ophelia Records imprint. After embracing a more pop-leaning sound on last year's debut album, the track finds Luci jumping back into her bass music roots.

Luci's lyrics this time around are heartfelt and touching, describing how intoxicating love can be by comparing it to a drug as she looks to maintain the high. 
"Drugs" arrives alongside an enchanting music video that further pushes the love-stricken narrative Luci has masterfully captured. The video sees her and her co-star frolicking through a field while the scene switches to a color-drenched room and balcony throughout.

Budakid drops ‘Infinity’ EP on Exploited

Budakid is back on Exploited with an impassioned 2-tracker. A regular at the Gardens Of Babylon events, Budakid has honed a distinctive shade of heartstring House and Indie Dance which has touched labels such as Permanent Vacation and Berlin’s Watergate. Here, he delivers 2 travel tickets for 2 disparate trips.
‘Infinity’ is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish. Euphoric melodies are layered as the track gathers lucency before a wide-open breakdown renders a patch of interstellar drifting. Distant snares snap overhead as the bass sequence courses into focus, reeling the listener back into the pilot’s seat toward a vibrant conclusion.
‘The Curse’ then illuminates some gooey, 90’s memories. Nostalgic chords are given buoyancy by snappy, Bicep-esque breaks and a pair of synth lines that are braided together – tumbling over one another as they carry the track’s energy.

Jeff Mills “The Trip – Enter The Black Hole“ double-vinyl is out on Axis May 10

What happens on the cosmic journey toward the black hole?  What is on the other side of the black hole? Jeff Mills is set to explore these questions through a performance that appeals to the auditory and visual senses.
Since the beginning of humanity, man has always wondered about what lies beyond the Stars. The relevance to what and who we are, but also what we will eventually become and where we need to go. And to exercise our minds for such possibilities, the storytelling of impossible adventures can help us understand how we might manage and exist in such alternative existences and in the least case, stretch our minds to become open and free. In various theoretical possibilities of what could happen if one might physically enter through a Black Hole, Jeff Mills designs conceptual examples for what could happen to Time and Space. 
“The Trip” began about leaving Planet Earth and searching the cosmos for a new location to live. Now, 23 years later, we are entering a new chapter of the project where we encounter The Black Hole  “Black Hole”. A black hole is a celestial object whose gravity is so strong that no information leaks out, so it was impossible to observe it, it was only a theoretical existence, but its location was identified for the first time in 2011. The latest research shows that it rotates on its own axis. Black holes are physically contradictory entities that are difficult to imagine, but what Jeff Mills is trying to deal with in “The Trip” also overlaps with singularity, which is the beginning or possible end of time and space. Displayed in 5 theoretical scenarios of what could happen after entering through the Black Hole and exiting on the other side. (Excerpts Liner Notes by Itaru W. Mita)
Jun Togawa was asked to participate by Jeff Mills. She is a vocalist representing the Japanese New Wave, and her emotional songs have an unparalleled impact and continue to break down generational barriers. Not only has she released space music such as „Rise‘‘ (Yapoos), but she also has many songs with sci-fi themes.
For “Contradiction” and “Hole” Jun added the vocals to the rhythm originally composed by Jeff Mills, and the final synth pad added by Shinichi Yamaguchi was edited by Jeff Mills. On „Contradiction“ (Long Radio Mix), he included a guitar similar to the style of Rock´n`Roll legend Bo Diddley, which is masterfully played by Kazuhide Yamaji of the current Yapoos.

In Conversation with Audio

After three years, Audio is back with a new album, this time on Blackout. ‘Where The Chaos Lies’ tells a story about AI and the reluctant acceptance of its power nowadays. Those who know Audio and Blackout already know what to expect: an album full of drums, power, and rollers. But there are some firsts on this album, too. It’s the first time he has had that many collaborations on an album, with Black Sun Empire, Burr Oak and Aenygma on the list of features. 
With ‘Where The Chaos Lies’, Audio further cements his legendary status in the neurofunk drum and bass scene. After experimenting with his sound on his previous album [Unsocial], we now see an artist who knows who he is, isn’t afraid to take challenges, and is ready to go full-steam ahead. We had the chance to talk with him about this new album, the full-circle moment at the Blackout event on April 19, and how he got into neurofunk in the first place.
What’s the story behind the album?
It’s about the insurgence of AI and how rapidly it’s becoming involved in really intrinsic things, and now creative things, like artwork, videos… It’s everywhere, and it’s undeniable. As a bit of an older guy, it’s about my fear of Terminators taking over. This album is my reluctant acceptance of AI into the world. I used AI to generate the artwork. It’s my image put through the AI machine. It’s my take on what’s happening. To me, albums are always a snapshot of where I am in my life, musically, emotionally, whatever the situation is, because that’s what the albums were for the artists that I grew up listening to. It was like a little time capsule into their world and what was happening at that point in their lives. And for me, albums are the same. This is my seventh solo album. I love the process. 
Was this AI theme there from the start of the process? 
It wasn’t. I hung out with Black Sun Empire in Utrecht because I was playing at Blackout. They asked me to come a few days earlier and get in the studio. The rest of the artists that were on the lineup back then were there, too. I was there for five days, and I found it super inspiring being around them because coming out of the back of COVID, I had not been in studio situations with people. Being in other people’s studios and talking to like-minded people was nice. I fully admit that before then, I was in a bit of an “I don’t know what to do”-mindset. I felt a bit disheartened with everything, but after those 5 days, the tank was full of enthusiasm again.
Shortly after that, I asked them if I could make an album for them. They’re good friends of mine. I’ve known him for years, and then the AI thing naturally came after a couple of tracks. I kept going back to this same thread of artificial intelligence. It was always around me while I was writing tunes. I started using samples and stuff describing AI. It was like a snowball down a mountain; it became bigger and bigger, and then it’s undeniable that that’s the thread through the album. I don’t like to force things, but I like to see what happens, and I came to the forefront of this project. It all naturally fell into place.
Talking about samples, the intro is one. Where is it from?
It’s from another musician doing an Interview and talking about the process of writing an album. It resonated with me because it’s how I feel. I appreciate the audience and the fact that there are people who enjoy listening to my music. But I would still be here writing tunes and being creative if there were no audience. The audience is not the main thing for me. I do it on my own. I acknowledge the audience, and I thank them, but they’re not necessary for me to be able to do what I do. Throughout my career, I’ve always written what my heart felt. I’ve always made decisions based on what my heart tells me and my gut feeling. I write for myself, and I’m blessed that other people enjoy that result.
You say that albums are snapshots of where you are in your life. What does this album tell us about you?
I’m very comfortable with my position and place in the drum and bass scene. As a young man, I felt a sense of desperation to try and get in there, and then once your foot’s in the door of the scene, you get accepted by people. At this point in my life, I feel accepted, and I feel completely comfortable with who I am within the drum and bass scene, what my role is, what I do, or what I’m known for, embracing that and just running with it. Full steam ahead. I found my place by putting myself in the scene. I think it’s just built up over time. There’s self-confidence, a belief in yourself that only comes with doing something for a very long time. Whether it be stripping an engine down- if you’re a mechanic, you do it hundreds of times by the end of those years. It’s like the 10,000-hour thing. You reach that point where you know you can go into the studio and make a half-decent drum and bass tune. You can go out there and play a good set. Time gets you there. Getting to that point where I feel comfortable has been a slow burn. I feel like I’ve carved my name into the rock of drum & bass. I’ve done my bit. I don’t know if there was an exact moment, perhaps a realisation of coming to the end of the process of this album. It took me 14 months from the start to handing it in.
You talked about how the idea of the album came about before playing in Utrecht for Blackout, and now you’re releasing your album on the same day as the Blackout event… A full-circle moment!
It’s kind of an unofficial launch party. It feels great. I’ve known Black Sun Empire for many years, from when I first came into the scene to when I took my first step on the ladder. They were the first big label that approached me to get a remix, and they booked me. They were always very supportive from the very start of my career. I’ve known the guys for 20 years, so we’re good friends. I released on Blackout number two very early when it started. It feels like a full circle moment for everything, the album, for me to return to Blackout… It’s perfect.
There are quite a few collaborations on the album. One with Black Sun Empire, one with Burr Oak, and another one with Aenygma. Can you tell me more about those?
I have a track with Black Sun Empire because they’re my guys. I had to do a track with them. The collaboration with Aenygma happened through Akov, who is both a phenomenal drum and bass producer and the lead singer of Aenygma. He’s got a phenomenal voice. I’ve never delved into that world of vocals because I want everything to sound how I want it to sound, and I don’t like compromising with people. It’s why I don’t collaborate with a lot of people. If you look back, I’ve done a lot of stuff on my own because I work better on my own. But for this album, I wanted to challenge myself. I remember watching a movie, and at the end of that, they played Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’, a classic track from the 70s. I wanted to do something with that same message but in a drum and bass form. I had this track playing on a loop and then spoke to Akov at a party on New Year’s Eve and said, “Look, I’ve got this idea. I know you sing. Do you think you could have a go?” he asked me to send the idea over and no lie, two hours later, I had the vocals back with with a chord progression to go with it. 
Another collaboration on my album is the one with Burr Oak. I’m a big fan of their music. Their album was a masterpiece. I wanted to connect with that kind of newer generation that is coming up into the scene and becoming those big names. It was really cool to see what we could come up with together. They taught me that you sometimes have to throw away the rule book. I got into D&B quite a few years ago, and I got used to how drum and bass sounds, the structures and song arrangements and things like that. Getting into a fixed pattern of how you do things is very easy. With them, listening to their songs, I’ve learned that that doesn’t apply anymore. It’s a free-for-all. Especially with the arrangement of ‘Rave Machine’, there’s no middle breakdown. Rip out the rulebook, throw it out of the window, and see what happens. That’s what I learned.
Your previous album, [Unsocial], came out in 2021. How have you seen the drum & bass scene evolve since your last album?
After COVID, a whole new generation was into drum and bass that had not come up in the scene the normal way, which would be going to raves with older people. That’s created a scene of their own, which is this TikTok D&B phenomenon. It’s great, has an energy, and it’s good. I have to remember that things don’t stay the same. They evolve. Whether I think it’s cool doesn’t matter. The wheel has to keep turning. I don’t like the social side of it, but that’s purely because I didn’t experience this when I was a young kid. It was all about “Does your tune smash? Is it going off in the raves? Are the DJs playing it?” That was the yardstick for how big you were. Much of the drum and bass scene is based on social media and your content now rather than your artistry, music, and how you conduct yourself. For me, these last things are the core and most important elements. I do think there is a place for what I do. There are people who appreciate what I do. There always will be, regardless of what’s happening in the mainstream. 
You’re talking about how people used to discover drum and bass by going to raves rather than looking on social media. How did you find your way into the drum and bass scene, and especially into neurofunk?
I’ve been listening to jungle drum and bass since ‘95, at school on the tennis court, smoking cigarettes with my mates, and listening to pirate radio stations, Kool FM, when it first started… When I left school, I started going to clubs with my mates. I’ve always known I wanted to do something with music, so we used to go raving with a group. I’ve literally experienced the birth of neurofunk, with Ed Rush and Optical dropping ‘Wormhole’. That was the Big Bang. I went to the launch party for that album. I bought it as soon as it came out, so my introduction to neurofunk was when it started. I felt like I needed to know everything about whoever was using that sound, what they were doing, when the releases were coming out… It slowly grew. My friends and I used to throw parties, and in ‘98, we booked Ed Rush. In 2000, we booked Bad Company UK. All the while, I was in a studio trying to make tunes myself and DJing. It has always been my dream to be on Virus Recordings. I’ve done three albums for them now. I was the kid standing in front of the DJ booth watching Ed Rush on the decks, and now he’s my friend. Neurofunk met me rather than the other way around. It was meant to be.
What would you tell someone who’s in front of the DJ booth now and wants to get that spot behind the decks one day?
There is so much help online with tutorials. When we had a studio in ‘97, it wasn’t a laptop. It was a room full of machines. You had to know what everything did, and every machine came with a manual you had to read through. It was very different back then, but it’s easier now, which is great. The most important thing is to stay true to yourself and do what your little voice in your heart tells you to do. Be the artist that you want to be, and don’t be persuaded by someone else because it’s fashionable or popular. That never lasts. I’ve been blessed to have a career for 20 years now. I’ve been DJing, producing and releasing records. It’s a blessing that came from working hard and making the music I love… I can’t make stuff that I don’t enjoy. I tried, I thought, “Why don’t I just make something that’s popular right now? I know what to do, so I’ll put it out under a different name,” but it’s just not possible. It always turns into an angry neuro track. That’s just to say, stay true to yourself. Don’t try to be someone you are not.
I want to give a final shoutout to Blackout, a big shoutout to UKF for the upload of ‘Flip Mode’, and a big shoutout to all the drum and bass heads. Drum and bass for life!

Hot Since 82 Cancels Shows After Terrifying Attack in Rio De Janeiro

In a chilling scene straight out of a horror movie, the renowned British DJ and dance music producer Hot Since 82 has cancelled a number of upcoming appearances following a harrowing attempt on his life in Rio de Janeiro. 
Taking to social media to open up about the incident, Hot Since 82 surmised that the attack was a setup, leaving him in an uneasy state of questioning as to who could've compromised his position. After leaving the club at 5am, he explained, roughly 10 minutes into his ride it was evident his vehicle was being pursued by gang members wielding loaded AK-47s. Given the circumstances, the attackers appeared to have intimate knowledge of the his whereabouts. 
As the assailants brandished their weapons, Hot Since 82's driver immediately took evasive action, skillfully weaving through traffic in reverse, dodging oncoming cars to escape the ambush at over 60 miles per hour. The DJ acknowledged his courageous actions, saying, "if it wasn’t for the heroic maneuvers of our driver, I don’t even know if we'd be alive right now."
As a father with kids at home and expecting another child in just six weeks, Hot Since 82 emphasized the need to prioritize his safety. He immediately changed hotels and booked the first flight he could out of the country, later sharing his fears about returning to the country. Despite the traumatic encounter, he ultimately expressed sympathy for the people of Brazil, acknowledging the daily fears they face as a result of gang violence.
"Sorry bro. We work hard to get artists here and those things happen," Brazilian dance music superstar Vintage Culture commented on the post. "Hope you are safe; our country is not at all like that, let’s get you back in a better opportunity."

Campground Fire Engulfs Cars & More At Sol Fest

First, the main thing here is no one was injured. As Festive Owl always says, things are replaceable, not people.
Saturday night at Sol Fest Music & Arts Festival in Ponce de Leon in Florida, an attendee’s car caught fire while its owners were in the festival. The fire ended up burning 3 cars total and charred part of another. Thankfully, the fire was not intentionally set. While nothing official has been released, it has been reported that it was started by a battery/device plugged into the car to charge. It began at 2AM EST.
According to observers, the fire was reported immediately and it took roughly 35 minutes for police and fire to arrive. Additionally, it took officials about 40 minutes to completely extinguish.
We’d like to take a moment to stress that we all think about these situations happening but when we’re immersed in fun, music, and the atmosphere, we all have to remember that we are not immune to traumatic and life-altering things like this. Always be prepared and proactive. We are sending love to all those affected and can all learn from things like this.

FISHER And Jennifer Lopez Release Reimagined Version Of ‘Waiting For Tonight’

Setting the tone for summer 2024, Grammy-nominated DJ and producer FISHER is teaming up with the inimitable Jennifer Lopez on an adaptation of the icon’s 90’s classic ‘Waiting For Tonight’, out now on his own label Catch & Release. Known for his wild sense of humour and energetic DJing style, FISHER first burst onto the Electronic scene with tracks ‘Stop It’ and ‘Ya Kidding’ and has since become one of the scene’s most in-demand talents. He then dropped ‘Losing It’, the breakout track that earned him his first Grammy nomination. Singer, actress, dancer, producer, and businesswoman, Jennifer Lopez parlayed her Golden Globe-nominated 1997 portrayal of tragic Latin pop icon Selena into pop stardom. Listen here.
‘Waiting For Tonight’ offers a modern take on the original Jennifer Lopez classic that became a global phenomenon after its release in 1999. The record broke the Top 10 across multiple Billboard charts, went multi-platinum in 5 countries including the UK, Australia, France and Belgium, and simultaneously earned Lopez her first Grammy nomination.
FISHER’s contemporary rendition of ‘Waiting For Tonight’ pays homage to the towering original, a track which, at its time, transcended music culture and marked a pivotal milestone in Jennifer Lopez’s already-prolific career. Tastefully nodding to the cultural renaissance of the new millennium, this rendition celebrates the 25th anniversary of its release in triumphant style.
‘Waiting For Tonight’ kicks off a huge summer ahead for FISHER. In addition to his upcoming Hï Ibiza residency every Wednesday, he recently announced his own day festival at London’s Gunnersbury Park on August 9th with Purple Disco Machine, Vintage Culture and more. Not to mention his upcoming May appearances at his own sold-out Out 2 Lunch Festival with TEG Live and Vodafone, plus TRIIP Festival Malta at the end of the month. Later this summer, FISHER and Chris Lake’s Under Construction show will headline Parklife Festival, following historic sets at Coachella and Hollywood Boulevard last year.

He has become known for mixing dubstep and melodic bass with his rock music roots, and the body of work is a dynamic representation of all of the above. From the ominous beginning of ‘Fragile State of Mind’ to the punk-rock lyrics mixed with stabbing bass in ‘My Ever After’ and the ethereal, digitized bass of ‘Talking to Myself’, Decadon‘s genre-bending sonic range is nothing short of impressive. ‘Lovely Destruction’ took almost 3 years to bring to life following the death of Decadon‘s father in 2020, and the depth of his emotions while creating this therapeutic project reverberates through each track. By the closing notes of ‘Save Me’, you can feel the healing that occurred throughout the process of the album, and Decadon hopes that the album will serve as an emotional outlet to others as well.
“This body of work is extremely important to me because it was something my father and I talked about putting together for years. I always wanted my debut album to really show both sides of the music I love. There’s beauty in destruction, even though it’s tougher to see, it’s there. The album truly reaches across a wide range of sounds, I’m so proud of it. This album started as a collection of a few songs I had written very soon after losing my father in 2020. It was my therapy, and then as the music started to flow more and build upon one another, I started seeing a body of work forming.” – Decadon
Decadon, aka Donnie Miller, is an American musician originally from Denver, Colorado and a unique force in dance music. Seamlessly merging the raw energy of rock with the pulsating beats of bass music, he is self-taught in multiple instruments. His intense interest in technology combined with his love of writing and performing music lead him to electronic dance music. He has been supported by industry heavyweights such as The Chainsmokers, Excision, and Diplo, and has collaborated with unique celebrities like Riff Raff, Hulk Hogan and more. His unique blend of DJ performances and live guitar captivate audiences at his shows and festivals. His new album marks a pivotal moment in his career, solidifying his position as a trailblazer in the convergence of rock and bass music, promising a future filled with innovation and sonic exploration.

Hot Since 82 Opens Up About Attempted Kidnaping In Brazil

Hot Since 82 took to Instagram to provide an update on a terrible and scary situation in Brazil. The British DJ had just finished a show and left the venue at 5 AM. They were being followed by a gang with guns attempting to track him down. He claims “We’d been set up” as the gang knew exactly when they were leaving and what car they would be in.
He sadly announced he would be canceling the rest of his shows and festival appearances at Time Warp and Warung in Brazil. Luckily for him and us, he had one of the best drivers you could have. The driver went to the other side of the road and began weaving in and out of traffic at 60-70 MPH. This did not stop the gang from continuing to pursue Hot Since 82 and his crew.
Luckily, they finally escaped and made it to the airport. He stated in his video he is “broken inside” and he flew home to his wife and children. We can’t believe he was put in this situation and most likely set up as well. We are glad though he is safe and home.

deadmau5 Spotted Playing i_o Tribute ID ‘input_output’ At Brooklyn Mirage

Forever in our hearts, and in Joel’s too.
Melancholy and a hinge of bittersweetness hit deadmau5 Trivia connoisseurs this past weekend at the Brooklyn Mirage, venue which was graced by the mouse-helmet legend’s most recent tour date, retro5pective: 25yrs of deadmau5. While his show’s title nods to the past and promises to be a walk down Memory Lane, Joel, being the multifaceted artist he is, was sure to tease new and unreleased material, test it even. And that’s how this song came to the speakers.
‘input_output’
deadmau5 allegedly wrote this ID as a tribute to the life and legacy of Garrett Lockhart, known professionally as i_o. For those who didn’t get to know him, he was an absolute legend of Techno, having one of the most rocket-like rises to fame I can remember. He was just that good, dropping bangers far and wide, and captivating audiences from a handful of homes and labels. Although I met him through his remix of Above & Beyond’s ‘Alchemy’ — which I’m lucky enough to say I heard live as an ID back in 2019 —, one of the circles he was the closest bonds with was mau5trap.
i_o. We sadly lost Garrett in 2020 to complications with his Hashimoto Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease he suffered. In times when music became an essential part of our locked-down lives, his passing made the world even more grim and grey for a while. We, his fans, friends, family, all felt the silence so loud. As fast as he’d come to grace our lives, he was gone.
Among the many artists who publicly spoke in memory of i_o, deadmau5, mau5trap label head and close friend of his, memorably dedicated an entire mixtape to his work in late 2020. But also, he created ‘input_output‘ to honour Garrett’s life.
retro5pective in Brooklyn
Although an unreleased track for at least two years, attendees of his NYC retro5pective gig might have spotted Joel himself throwing his heartwarming tribute at the show. Here’s a clip of that:
And even though it won’t change things and the void Garrett’s absence left in the Dance music industry, it does warm our hearts a fair bit to acknowledge people still remember him, his work, and his way. It’s quite more than just a bittersweet tear rolling down your cheek.
On a side note, the internet — as unexplainable as it often is —, somehow holds a clean version of ‘input_output’ for the world to enjoy. In true deadmau5 fashion, just press play and let the saws fly you away. It is a beautiful track, for a beautiful soul.
Stay tuned to our page for the latest news and views from our beloved industry.

Venture ‘Into The Dark’ with JEANIE [Q&A]

In less than two weeks, JEANIE‘s Into The Dark tour will propel her to EDC Las Vegas‘ BassPOD stage. It’s a fitting locale for her bass-heavy, arena-sized sound, to say the least.
Since early March, the DJ/producer has been traveling stateside, making noise on her debut North American headline tour. The 17-date effort spans a robust variety of venues: theaters, lounges, clubs, and festivals.
“It’s hard to choose a favorite, but so far, my favorite city has been Tampa [Florida] at The Ritz. The venue, crowd, and crew there are always unmatched,” JEANIE tells Dancing Astronaut while en route to tend the decks at this year’s now-concluded iteration of Excision’s Paradise Blue destination festival. “I really think [Tampa] should be considered one of the bass capitals of the United States!”
EDC Vegas is next on the Into The Dark tour’s hit list; like the live initiative, it is a benchmark in JEANIE’s career. And while the Sin City booking adds impact to her festival portfolio (which, in 2023, expanded to include Tomorrowland and Lost Lands, among others), so will her slot at Beyond Wonderland later this June.
Altogether, the tour and its festival performances are powerful signifiers of the appetite for JEANIE’s music. This is no surprise, considering the caliber of labels on which she’s released (Bassrush, Circus Records, Space Yacht, and Disciple Round Table, to name just a few), and the throttling, made-for-the-live-circuit sound that she so compellingly brings to stages both nationwide and internationally.
From her deserved position in dance/electronic’s limelight, JEANIE talks Into The Dark and its supporting tour with Dancing Astronaut. The full Q&A appears below, along with a host of stops still to come.
What is the concept behind Into The Dark and what does this project signify about your sound?
JEANIE: “The EP was born out of a really difficult time for me—there were many days when I considered giving up on the JEANIE project entirely. While it might have been hard to tell from an outside perspective, I felt incredibly lost and burnt out. Once I started to channel that energy into my music, it gave me a new perspective on embracing those confusing periods, hence Into The Dark. This EP restored my love for music production and I don’t think it could have come at a more perfect time.”
You’ve called this EP “your favorite work to date.” What about it causes to rise to the level of “favorite work” for you?
JEANIE: “There have been some releases I’ve worked on throughout the past couple of years that I realized I didn’t feel super connected to in the end. These tracks [from Into The Dark] feel like 100% me. Not only are they the strongest tracks I’ve created production-wise in my opinion, but it just feels like a completely cohesive and natural project overall. I didn’t have to force any of the tracks to work together, which isn’t always the case, and I feel extremely proud of every single one.”
Congratulations on your debut North American headline tour! Could you tell us about your vision for this tour and why right now is the right time to realize this milestone?
JEANIE: “Thank you! This tour has been a long time coming, but after touring pretty regularly the past few years, I finally wanted to do something of my own, and it just felt like the right time. It doesn’t always feel like you can give people the full experience at a show that isn’t your own, so I’m excited to finally be able to show people what a JEANIE show is all about. I have been putting more work than ever into my music and sets throughout the past few years, and this tour feels like the culmination of all of that hard work finally coming to life.”
How has the tour been going?
JEANIE: “The tour has been incredible! It’s been really cool to see a lot of fans, both old and new, in cities all across the US. The most rewarding thing so far has been to see fans coming to multiple tour stops—to know that someone is willing to travel far to see you, especially more than once, is mind blowing. I’ve also been blessed to be joined by Green Matter and TINYKVT on select stops, who are not only extremely talented artists, but amazing people as well.”

[INTERVIEW] KSHMR Talks North America Tour, Ultra Miami And New Music Projects

EDMTunes had an awesome chat with the one and only KSHMR. He is not only an amazing songwriter but also a talented DJ, record producer, and former Pop producer of a handful of top hits. It was such a pleasure to talk to him!
LA-based KSHMR is back with a massive new release that celebrates an equally significant milestone in the form of ‘Devotion‘, a club record he’s been taking on tour in honor of his 10-year anniversary as a DJ and producer under the KSHMR moniker. Always one to embrace his Indian heritage as well as pay tribute to other cultures around the world, he teamed up with Thai artist 22Bullets for the new track. ‘Devotion‘ fuses hard-hitting basslines with dynamic instrumental synths and KSHMR’s trademark melodies, making for a truly entrancing sonic experience that breaks away from genre constructs and exists in an exhilarating category of its own, all built around the famous sample from Nomad‘s 1990’s hit ‘(I Wanna Give You) Devotion‘. The track has already proven to be a favorite during KSHMR’s live sets on his North American club tour and his Ultra Music Festival Miami Main Stage performance in March, and it celebrates a decade of the KSHMR project since the 2014 debut of ‘Megalodon‘. Thailand‘s 22Bullets has previously collaborated with the likes of David Guetta, Ty Dolla $ign, Fedde Le Grand, and more, and has released music on KSHMR’s Dharma imprint; home to Electronic Dance Music from around the world. Their previous collaboration ‘It Isn’t Me‘ released on the label in 2022.
The Interview
(Please note, the bolded text represents a question, while the paragraph(s) following it represent Kashmr’s answers.)
1. Let’s start by acknowledging an incredible milestone — 2024 marks a decade since KSHMR emerged onto the global music scene. Looking back at your journey thus far, what reflections come to mind, and how do you feel about reaching this significant milestone?
Yeah, it’s crazy. I mean, it doesn’t feel like 10 years. In some ways it does feel like a long time though because I just hauled so much ass, especially at the beginning of the project, making so much music, everything I wanted to accomplish or convey, communicate with the KSHMR project, with the sound I did, and then even did some side quests like making this Hip-Hop album in India. Sometimes I look back on all that and I’m really proud of it. Also, I feel a little exhausted, which is why I’m giving myself this next month in May to just take a break from music. But there are still things that interest me and that I look forward to diving into and bringing the KSHMR sound to. But yeah, I’m just really proud of everything I was able to accomplish with the help of my team. I couldn’t ask for anything more – it’s been great.
2. Recently, you concluded a thrilling North America club tour, culminating in a double sold-out show in Los Angeles. Could you share some highlights from that experience, and what can fans expect from your forthcoming European tour?
Great North American club tour. It was nice to do some stuff in America because I’m often in Asia and Europe. So yeah, it was a big motivator for me, and also to make a lot of new edits, new mashups, dust off the old sets and get rid of some old stuff that I’ve been playing for too long. And reinvent the show, offer people a lot of new stuff. It was great. It motivated me to finish up some of the music that was a work in progress too. So I’m really happy about that. An upcoming European tour, not yet, I just did a bunch of Europe. That was a lot of fun. Europe is always super receptive, they love the harder stuff and it’s one of my favorite regions to play in.
3. Speaking of unforgettable moments, your recent performance at Ultra Music Festival‘s mainstage captivated audiences worldwide. Can you give us some insights into your preparation for such monumental performances, and what it meant to you to grace that stage?
Yeah, Ultra, Tomorrowland, these are the kind of festivals that you put a lot of thought into to make sure that you’re providing something special. You know, not only the people that are there are going to see it, but also people online are going to watch it on YouTube. So, a lot of effort into creating something unique that people haven’t seen from me before goes into those shows. Now, this one in particular had some hurdles because my set was cut short due to the rain. It was cut to 30 minutes. And then when I got on stage, some rain dumped on the equipment. That shortened my set even further. But I was able to hustle and still get a show that incorporated a lot of the music and wanted to play for people in it. And hopefully they appreciate it. It seems like they did. 
4. Your latest single, ‘Devotion’, with 22Bullets, has been generating quite a buzz. Can you give us a sneak peek into the inspiration behind the track and what listeners can expect from it?
The song is out now! I think listeners have heard that it’s a sample of an old Dance track. 22 Bullets had the original idea. I came in, did my thing on it, added some sections, added some melody, some music, just classic collaboration. And it’s been a great song to play live. One of my favorites to play live in my shows, so yeah, just really, really happy about that and about the response it’s gotten.
5. Beyond ‘Devotion’, what other projects do you have in the works, and what can we expect from you in 2024? Any tours, collaborations, or exciting ventures on the horizon?
I’m taking a break for May, I’m actually going to drive an RV around the country with my dogs and some friends, so that’ll be a nice little break, you know, just from touring and music creation because between the two I almost don’t have any downtime. So yeah, I’m looking forward to that break and then after that, it’s going to be more tour, there’ll be more music, just the usual stuff. I’ve been interested in Deep House with an ethnic sound which is probably something I’m going to explore more once I get back into the rhythm of music after this break.
6. Before we conclude, let’s touch upon your heritage and your continued involvement in the Indian market. Your album KARAM showcased a beautiful fusion of cultures and sounds. How does your Indian-American background influence your music, and what significance does it hold for you personally?
Yeah, my Indian heritage plays a big role in my music, you know, as you can see by my name, KSHMR, that’s where my family is from, and I love to incorporate it into my songs and in the case of KARAM I even went out to do a whole album out there because Hip-Hop was booming. Hip-Hop is a big passion of mine, and to see that booming in India made me want to be a part of it, and I was very blessed that so many of the amazing artists there were willing to collaborate with me. So you’ll continue to hear that be a part of my sound, not the only part of my sound, but a very important one.
7. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and experiences with us today, KSHMR. We have a lot of your fans asking about you at EDMTunes. Do you have some words for them? 
Yeah, thank you guys. I feel really blessed that even after 10 years, you’re still checking for me and I hope to make you proud with the music and the sample packs and everything else that I’ll be bringing to the table over the next years.

Mau P Lends Vocals to New Single “On Again”

For years now, Mau P has been spinning records around the world and making people dance. However, the Dutch DJ and producer is now taking the mic for the first time with his new song “On Again.”
Both Mau P’s own vocals and the famous star Mike Dean can be heard on the track. This important studio master has contributed his masterful synth work to many classic rap and R&B albums, shaping the sound of acts such as Beyoncé, Travis Scott, Jay-Z, and many more.
Mau P’s work with Dean and the addition of his own singing is an artistic step forward. “This song has had such a beautiful process where I feel like I really found a new part of me as an artist,” he stated. “I always felt like it was a demo that was meant for a bigger artist than myself, but after showing everyone the version with my vocals on it it just stuck.”
Dean’s experienced production touch and Mau P’s fresh approach have come together to create a unique sound that has already become a fan favorite during the DJ’s recent festival sets, including his well-known set at Coachella.
“The magic was already there and after getting Mike Dean’s blessing on it, it really felt perfect,” he said.
Mau P takes a big step forward as an artist with “On Again,” which mixes his dancefloor-filling house music with hip-hop style and lush singing. It’s a nice break for his creativity that could lead to new things as he keeps pushing the limits of music.
Listen to “On Again” below and tell us what you think of Mau P’s first song with vocals!

Massane Releases Brand New Remixes From His By The River Album

As a dedicated fan of the This Never Happened label, I wanted to share some exciting news with you. The label’s founder, Lane 8, has consistently provided us with music we love, and artists we cherish. The latest release from French producer Massane’s sophomore album, By The River, features some incredible new remixes that are sure to blow you away.
By The River Remixes
It’s become somewhat of a tradition for TNH artists to release remixed versions of tracks from their albums. By The River Remixed is no exception, and features ‘Craving (Eleonora Remix)’, ‘Back Together (Angara Remix)’, and ‘Trust (Bacavi Remix)’. These new remixes introduce us to three talented artists who bring their own unique sounds to Massane’s already beautiful tracks. Angara, a French duo you may have heard through their releases on Colorize, delivers a melodic techno feel to ‘Back Together’. Their remix has been creating waves on the dance floor, combining sensitive and soothing melodies with engaging rhythms.
Berlin-based singer-songwriter, Eleonora, takes ‘Craving’ for a spin with a fresh techno take on this track. Her dark direction adds a new dimension to the song. Legends like Adriatique, Hernan Cattaneo, and Tale Of Us have played Elenora’s beautiful originals with her vocals. Bristol-based Bacavi releases his version of ‘Trust’. It straddles an ambitious fusion of lopsided synths and evocative melodies while maintaining the original essence of the track. This remix is dancey and fun, perfect for any summer playlist.
Massane drew inspiration for By The River from both the vibrant people and the pulsating dance-floor. His recent tour allowed him to explore new horizons and connect with diverse communities, infusing his art with fresh perspectives and renewed vigour.
