Axel Haube’s Dark and Hypnotic New ‘Virgo’ EP

German techno producer Axel Haube has released a new EP called Virgo, including Dreamers, the second song, and a remix from VNTM.
The EP kicks off with the title track “Virgo” and it sets the vibe immediately with these creepy, ominous synth lines layered over tribal-like beats. The harmonies have this haunting, trance-inducing quality to them too. It’s mysterious and suspenseful from the first few bars.
That ominous, heavy groove continues into the second song “Dreamers.” While it’s maybe a touch more melodic than the opener, with some cool arpy synths swirling around, the core of the track is still built on these deep, foreboding vibrations. Haube uses some ghostly vocal samples too that add to the overall sense of dread and intrigue.
Then for the finale, Haube teams up with VNTM for a totally stomping techno remix of “Virgo.” They really lean into the dark, hypnotic aspects of the original, with these winding synth lines that almost seem to burrow into your brain. The kicks are absolutely punishing too. It’s a seriously hard, unrelenting remix primed to wreck the darkest dance floors.
Virgo feels like Haube took listeners on this compelling, cinematic descent into murkier sonic realms. From the cryptic opening title track to the subterranean deepness of “Dreamers” to the sheer force of the VNTM remix, he creates these richly layered, atmospheric techno grooves that just envelop you in their hypnotic grasp. It’s an immersive, almost bewitching EP that looks set to be a real techno head-turner. I’m definitely going to be revisiting this one.

Miami Brickell residents are angry with Afterlife in Virginia Key

The debut of Afterlife at Miami Marine Stadium, Virginia Key brought far more headaches than beats. The Afterlife event’s thunderous bass lines and blinding light shows kept the neighborhood awake and on edge for two straight nights.
Residents reported that the music was so loud that “It shook me to my core“. It was “just a constant, pounding assault on your senses until 2 a.m.“
Despite attempts to intervene by lowering volumes and dimming lights, the party raged on, much to residents’ chagrin.

Residents of Brickell Key reported that “the vibrations were so strong, I could feel them pulsing through my walls“.
While Afterlife drew a crowd of around 14,000 electronic dance music fans to Virginia Key’s tight confines, that was little consolation for beat-weary residents just hoping for a decent night’s sleep. Many described the overall experience as a “total nightmare.”
Other local residents reported that “the logistics were an absolute mess.” Virginia Key is an island in front of Brickell. It is connected to the mainland by only one bridge.
The lack of logistical planning brought terrible traffic snarls, a lack of rideshare availability, and what the residents perceived as a disorganized operation by festival organizers. The Brickell Homeowners Association dubbed the disruptions “intrusive” and “excessive,” demanding accountability.
Map showing the only access route to Virginia Key from Brickell Miami As the first social events restart on Virginia Key following Afterlife’s tumult, neighborhood tensions are reaching a fever pitch. The community’s tolerance for sacrificing their tranquility, many insist, has finally reached a limit.
The city now weighs how to strike a balance between hosting lucrative events and preserving residential quality of life. For Virginia Key, it seems the sliders may need to be adjusted to turn down volume levels and keep light shows in check.
Commissioner Damian Pardo released several statements on X (formerly Twitter) about the situation.
Similar issues were encountered some years back for the Ultra Music Festival. The massive event in 2019 had to be relocated to Virginia Key because Miami Downtown residents have expressed the same issue as this time.
In the end, a deal has been finalized between Ultra Music Festival organizers, the City Of Miami, and Residents of Miami Downtown to bring the festival back to Bayfront Park. Because of the deal, the festival now follows a series of strict regulations including live noise measurement in the downtown area to keep a balance between the tranquility of the neighbors and the ability for festivalgoers to party.
These strict regulations didn’t apply to Afterlife in Virginia Key.
Otherwise, even die-hard music fans worry the neighborhood’s extraordinary patience with thunderous, all-night parties may soon run out of rhythm.

Ultra Miami Opens Doors, Day 2 Is On

Fear not, for your favourite U-shaped-logo festival is back on track.
Ultra Music Festival is back! Of all places they’ve thrown a party at, home seemed to be the most challenging in a long while. Miami proved to have adverse weather that felt like would threaten the festival, yet, after sending attendees home earlier last night under strong winds and lightning strikes, the festival managed to get Bayfront Park ready for Day 2 of the massive gathering.
Right as we speak, acts like Miss Monique and KSHMR are already filling the stages with people, mere minutes after doors opened at 4 pm EDT. As the day goes on and is off to a pretty solid start, let’s go through the most crucial events of the past hours:
1. Hardwell’s Mainstage Set, Rescheduled For Today
By far the most discussed subject on socials after Ultra’s early closing yesterday was what would happen with Hardwell. The star was about to hit the Mainstage decks when the whole situation became too dangerous, and so he couldn’t play his set. He turned to Twitter to express how sad he was. “I’m crying right now, 3 months of work by the team and myself. Wow….“.
And while we saw kind souls like Afrojack openly willing to give their timeslots to him on Sunday, Hardwell himself made a joint post with the festival to deliver the news: he’s playing TODAY, from 7:25 to 8:40 pm EDT.
2. Amelie Lens Megastructure Set, Rescheduled For Today
Another act people were eagerly hoping to see was Techno queen Amelie Lens, who was on to close the Megastructure last night. Weather conditions said otherwise. But good news struck again today. She’ll be playing the Megastructure TODAY from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.
3. Chris Lake & FISHER Set Won’t Happe
After the unfortunate cancellations yesterday, the House superstar duo couldn’t close the Mainstage as they planned to. They’ve since made a statement announcing the B2B unfortunately will have to wait for next year.
4. Day 2 Is Extending Hours
Ultra has announced the festival hour of closing will be delayed into the night, for attendees and DJs to make up for lost time. This will, potentially, give extra slots for acts who couldn’t play, either last night, or earlier today. Great news!
5. Set Times For Today
No public information is yet available on the topic. As soon as we learn the schedule we’ll let you know. For now, you can tune in to the different streams Ultra is offering if you’re anywhere in the world. Head to their YouTube channel over here.
Stay tuned for more news.

[LIVE] Watch Hardwell rescheduled to play Ultra Music Festival day 2

One of the biggest stars in the world of electronic dance music will get his shot at Ultra Music Festival after all. Dutch DJ Hardwell has been slotted for a main stage set on Saturday night, making up for his canceled performance on Friday due to dangerous thunderstorms that forced an evacuation of the festival grounds.
The confirmation came via X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday afternoon, with Hardwell excitedly announcing “ BREAKING NEWS: @ULTRA MAINSTAGE TONIGHT 7:25 – 08:40!!!!! LFG!!!!!! ”

His scheduled 9:15 PM main stage set on Friday’s opening night of the three-day festival in downtown Miami was one of many that had to be scrapped after severe storms rolled through the area. Organizers made the call to clear Bayfront Park and suspend operations as lightning, heavy rain, and high winds created unsafe conditions.
In the aftermath on Friday night, a crestfallen Hardwell took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his devastation, writing “I’m crying right now, 3 months of work by the team and myself. Wow….“
The renowned Dutch DJ had spent months preparing an elaborate production for his Friday night headlining performance at one of the biggest dance music events in the world.
But Hardwell and his fans will get a second opportunity on Saturday after Ultra organizers worked quickly to reset the festival schedule and grounds following the storm’s flooding impacts.
The rescheduled 75-minute set will take place from 7:25 PM to 8:40 PM tonight on Ultra’s flagship main stage.
Hardwell’s high-energy performance should provide an electrifying boost for the festival after a rough start to the weekend. More schedule updates are expected throughout the day on Saturday as Ultra works to accommodate other artists impacted by canceled sets.
This is a developing story and schedules are still being finalized. Check back for the latest updates from the Ultra Music Festival grounds in Miami.

Chris Lake comments Miami weather and Ultra Music Festival cancellation

Chris Lake and his fellow DJ/producer Fisher have voiced their disappointment after severe weather forced the cancellation of their highly-anticipated back-to-back closing set on the main stage during the first night of Ultra Music Festival in Miami.
In a post on social media the morning after, Lake expressed being “completely disheartened” that the duo was unable to deliver their show after months of preparation.
Their set, being billed as Chris Lake b2b Fisher (Under Construction), was one of the many high-profile performances canceled on Friday night after dangerous thunderstorms rolled through downtown Miami. Organizers were forced to evacuate Bayfront Park and shut down the festival for safety.
While headliner Tiësto was able to play, Chris Lake and Fisher were unable to take the stage at all before the venue was cleared out.
DJ Afrojack, who was able to perform earlier on Friday evening before the storms hit, offered to give up his scheduled set time over the next two days to allow either Hardwell or the Chris Lake b2b Fisher group to make up their missed performance.
The house music stars ended their statement by saying they hope Ultra will give them an opportunity to “run this back next year“ so they can finally deliver the unique back-to-back performance they had envisioned.
Several other big-name DJs also had their sets cut short or outright canceled on Friday night’s opening night of the three-day festival due to the inclement weather.
As of Saturday morning, organizers were working to reopen and reset the Ultra grounds at Bayfront Park for the remainder of the weekend after assessing any damage from the storms. More scheduling updates are expected throughout the day on Saturday.

First Set Cancellations Kick Off Ultra Miami Day 2

After the events of last night, Ultra Music Festival is still working to get Bayfront Park in condition to open to the public. Constant heavy rain, gushes of wind, lightning, and even a tornado alert, all took part in yesterday’s emergency.
Doors should have opened two hours ago in normal conditions. Instead, what we have is machine after machine, sucking all possible water out of the dancing areas, cleaning mud, and, well, lines of people eagerly waiting to know when — or if — they’ll be granted access to one of the world’s most anticipated festivals of the entire year.
One of the first acts to publically announce their set has been crossed out is Swiss GRAMMY-nominated producer EDX. The artist took to his socials to deliver the unfortunate news.
The post reads: “I’m truly sorry to hear that today’s performance at the Ultra Music Festival had to be canceled due to change of hours because of severe weather in South Florida. I had been diligently preparing for this set for nearly a month, even incorporating some fresh ID tracks. It’s disheartening news, and my apologies go out to all my fans who were eagerly anticipating my musical journey today“.
In the meantime, Ultra is showing an aura of hope in their most recent statement, assuring they’re working hard to get the festival in pristine conditions for a grand opening this afternoon:

Ultra Music Festival Confirms Day 2 Is A Go

Organizers of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami are working feverishly to prepare the flooded grounds at Bayfront Park and reopen the gates Saturday afternoon following Friday’s abrupt cancellation due to dangerous thunderstorms.
In a statement on social media Saturday morning, the festival said: “Hey everyone! We are working hard to prepare the site before opening the doors this afternoon. We will be dancing again soon.“

The announcement comes after Friday night’s headliner performances by Tiesto and others were cut short when severe storms brought lightning, heavy rain, and high winds to the downtown Miami area. Organizers were forced to evacuate tens of thousands of fans from the park for safety reasons.
While Saturday’s weather is expected to improve by the afternoon hours, the storms have already caused scheduling changes. DJ/producer EDX took to Instagram to announce that his opening set scheduled for Saturday has been canceled as the festival works to reset operations.
The National Weather Service indicates conditions should gradually improve through the day on Saturday, with rain chances diminishing and winds calming after waves of thunderstorms rolled through South Florida on Friday and early Saturday. However, mild rain chances will linger into the evening hours.
As of late Saturday morning, no official timeline has been provided for when the Ultra Music Festival grounds will reopen to fans. More delays and schedule changes are possible as organizers inspect for any remaining flooding or damage at Bayfront Park following Friday night’s stormy weather.
According to Ultra Music Festival’s officials, day 2 is not canceled. Ultra Music Festival will re-open its gate at 4 PM today, Sunday the 23rd for the Miami 2024 edition and will run extended hours. This means it won’t stop at midnight because of the City’s curfew for public outdoor events but it will go on for a couple of hour more.

Tiësto’s Headlining Ultra Set Halted by Heavy Rain Interfering with Equipment

Oh man, it was a crazy night at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami on Friday. The legendary DJ Tiësto was headlining the main stage and in the middle of throwing down one of his trademark massive sets.
But then, these insane thunderstorms just rolled in and drenched the entire festival grounds. I’m talking absolute downpours. Water was getting all over Tiësto’s DJ equipment in the booth – his CDJs, mixer, everything. At one point his gear just completely stopped working from all the rain.
Despite the total equipment failure, you have to give it to Tiësto, the man is an absolute pro. He tried to wait it out and get things going again once the worst of the storm passed over.
But the rain just would not let up. Ultra actually had to make the call to cancel the rest of day one of the festival because of the nonstop downpour. Can you imagine having to shut down freaking Ultra for a night because of the weather? That’s how intense it was.
The forecast for today, Saturday, looks just as ugly with more thunderstorms expected to roll through Miami.
You have to feel for Tiësto though. He handled the situation like a total champ when his whole setup was getting rained out in front of thousands of people. Kept his cool and did what he could to still try to put on a show.
Mother Nature was not messing around in Miami this weekend. She rained on Tiësto’s parade…literally. But he still raved on!

Tayak unveils remixes for his song “Delirium Tremens”

With his highly personal first single “Delirium Tremens” out now on SATO Records, Belgian artist Tayak has come on the scene. The song, which came out today with three remix packs, has a deep story about friendship and getting over addiction.
As the artist himself says, “Delirium Tremens” was influenced by Tayak‘s time spent helping a close friend deal with addiction. They had a special bond and went through a lot together, and the emotional play shows that.
Tayak said, “This song means everything to me.” “It shows the most honest moments, the deepest fears, and finally the hope that got us through a very hard time.” “The fact that my friend beat this disease is nothing less than heroic.”
The first version of “Delirium Tremens” came out on March 1, but today Phunkadelica, Senses Of Mind, and Lumoon all put out remix sets of the song. With these new versions, Tayak’s powerful piece takes on new dimensions.
Erik Sayers, A&R at SATO Records, was excited: “I felt this record’s impact from the moment it arrived on my desk.” Tayak really knows how to turn deeply personal events into music. We’re so happy to have “Delirium Tremens” launch his career, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.
By working with the well-known SATO label, Tayak has joined hands with a group known for promoting electronic music that pushes the limits. If “Delirium Tremens” is any sign, the Belgian artist is about to go on a musical journey that is as far-reaching as the relationships that inspired it.
You can now hear Tayak’s single and remixes “Delirium Tremens” on all music services. This debut single has a very moving message and is produced very well by Tayak. It feels like it will leave a lasting mark on the dance scene and beyond.

Are Grimes and Anyma (Matteo Milleri) dating? New Romance?

Musician Grimes has gone public with what seems her new boyfriend – none other than DJ/producer Matteo Milleri, aka Anyma, who recently divorced from Italian model Vittoria Ceretti.
Ceretti, 25, announced her divorce from Matteo Milleri (known professionally as Anyma) just last June expressing surprise over the split. The former couple had married in a seaside ceremony in Ibiza, Spain, though details of their relationship were kept relatively private.
However, Grimes seemingly confirmed her new romance with Milleri over the weekend by posting a romantic photo on Instagram, cozily kissing the DJ and referring to him as her “beauty and the beast.“
The twist? Grimes, 35, and Anyma have previously collaborated professionally. He appeared during her live debut of the album Genesys at the Tomorrowland festival in July 2023 to perform vocals on their co-written song “Welcome to the Opera.”
So it seems the working relationship has now blossomed into something more intimate, with the Canadian avant-garde pop artist moving on with Milleri fresh off his divorce from Ceretti after only a few years of marriage.
Fans were sent into a frenzy speculating over the new couple’s origins. “Oh I know he’s gonna produce some crazy shit for her” one exclaimed. While another added, “Grimes and Anyma is ah, unexpected but I can definitely see the vibe.“
Neither Grimes nor Anyma have officially confirmed their relationship status. But this Instagram post exchange seems to mark their reunion going public, to the shock of many.
Vittoria Ceretti has not yet addressed the new couple, maintaining her typical disciplined low profile.
The new romance marks Grimes’ first public relationship since her highly publicized split from billionaire Elon Musk, with whom she had three children.
Only time will tell if sparks will truly fly long-term for this new beauty and her beast.

David Guetta to premiere ‘The Monolith’ new show at Ultra Miami

Global dance icon David Guetta presents ‘The Monolith’, his groundbreaking production set in the magical ancient desert setting of AlUla, considered by many one of the wonders of the world.
Against a jaw-dropping desert background, the multiple Grammy winner performs a breathtaking, specially-crafted set full of new mashups and edits, while all around him The Monolith’s staggering light show does justice to its historical setting.
The artistic direction was supervised by David Guetta, Jean-Guillaume Charvet, and Romain Pissenem for Highscream, the man behind Hi and Ushuaia Ibiza.

Fans wanting to see the spectacle in person are in luck, as Guetta will now be bringing the ‘Monolith’ production to Ultra Miami this Saturday. It’s his first time performing the new setup in the US, and he is set to close the Main Stage with an innovative performance.
However, the highly anticipated debut of ‘The Monolith’ in Miami faces potential disruption due to the weather. Following heavy rain yesterday and forecasts of thunderstorms today, there are concerns that Ultra may need to cancel day 2 of the festival, as they did with day 1 due to the severe storms.

What is David Guetta’s ‘The Monolith’ production?
‘The Monolith’ is David Guetta’s groundbreaking audiovisual performance blending music, lights, and the stunning desert landscape of AlUla, Saudi Arabia. He initially unveiled it in the ancient AlUla desert before planning to bring it to Ultra Miami.

Miami Ultra Music Festival cancels day 1. Day 2 uncertain!

MIAMI, FL – Ultra Music Festival’s opening night was canceled after severe thunderstorms rolled through the Bayfront Park venue on Friday, forcing an emergency evacuation of tens of thousands of fans.
As a tornado watch loomed over downtown Miami, festival organizers took to social media urging attendees to “calmly leave the park now” due to the approaching line of intense thunderstorms packing lightning, heavy rain, and potentially damaging winds.
The emergency evacuation came just as SLANDER was in the midst of his headlining set on the main stage. Just minutes early Tiesto was forced to cut his highly-anticipated performance short as staff scrambled to replace the DJ equipment damaged by the heavy rain.

Other top acts like Hardwell and the Chris Lake b2b Fisher (Under Construction) set were completely canceled on Friday night before they could take the stage.
In an act of solidarity, DJ Afrojack, who was able to perform earlier in the evening, offered to give up his scheduled set time over the next two days to allow either Hardwell or Chris Lake’s group to make up their missed set.
As fans poured out onto Biscayne Boulevard around 9 PM, they were greeted by blinding rain, frequent lightning strikes, and urban flooding from the severe storms.
The chaotic shutdown came just hours after eager music fans from around the world had lined up well before gates opened to get prime spots for the sold-out three-day electronic dance music festival.
Are Ultra Music Festival Day 2 being canceled as well?
Unfortunately, weather forecasts indicate Saturday could bring another round of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to the Miami area, putting day 2 of Ultra in jeopardy as well.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch and Wind Advisory for Miami-Dade County through Saturday evening, with the potential for 3-6 inches of rain, damaging wind gusts, hail, and even a few isolated tornadoes.
At this point, no official word has come from festival organizers on potential rescheduling or refunds for ticketholders impacted by the cancellations. Fans are anxiously awaiting updates as another line of dangerous storms takes aim at South Florida on Saturday.
EDX announced his Ultra Music Festival set has been canceled. The best case is that the opening hour will be postponed until later in the day as announced by the festival’s official. Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates heavy rain until 8 PM.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as they become available regarding the status of the remainder of Ultra Music Festival weekend.

EDMTunes New Music Friday – Week 12

Listen to the most flavour-packed tracks we discovered this week.
Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday.
Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order.
Mark Maguire – Lost in Now
Genre: Uplifting Trance
Mark Maguire, everyone. We’re glad to have him back since, if you have a good memory, you might remember his track ‘Destination’ was featured in one of our December NMFs. Well, he’s back for his latest number, ‘Lost in Now‘, yet another Uplifting Trance gem.
As with any proper Uplifting tune, you have the wonderfully painted contrast of powerful beats and heartwarming atmospheres, following intense kick-bass combos and ever-growing melodies. If you want a piece of advice: close your eyes for this one.
NOMIS (FR) – Killi
Genre: Afro House
Simon Sebbagh, known in the industry as NOMIS, is a Parisian DJ and Producer. Having grown up loving House and French Dance music in general, he decided to give the production world a shot. With permanent worldwide tours and European residencies, you could say he’s made it.
Quite the groovy tune, ‘Killi‘ depicts Afro House of the highest level, to deliver an irresistible beat you won’t be able to decide if you’ll dance your night out to it or not. Enjoy the masterful pairing of the drums filling the spaces left available by the warm bassline.
Vibement – VANIISH
Genre: Dubstep
“He’s not only refreshing his style and challenging himself to experiment with different ideas, he’s now routed his brain with a professional mentality“. Do you remember that line of text? That’s an extract of our recent article sharing ‘Resurgence’, a track by EDM artist Vibement. Well, do you want to hear that fresh style and rerouted mentality? This way, good sir.
Welcome to ‘VANIISH‘, the latest from the artist. The track rocks an intense hybrid nature between, well, Rock rhythms, and Mid-tempo banging pieces. The Dubstep drop is the icing on the cake. It reminds us of that one very very old track by Skrillex, ‘Reptile’, and so we’re instantly hooked. Amazing job Vibement!
ATB – 9PM (Till I Come) (CHRSTPHR Remix)
Genre: Tech House
Yes. It is very, very rare that we accept or share tracks in our NMFs that are outside of Spotify. This is actually the first time. But we HAD to break the rules for this one. We had to make the exception for CHRSTPHR‘s killer rendition of a Trance classic. You recognise this one instantly, it’s become a part of the general culture by now. And this year, it’s become Tech House.
The iconic ATB slidey lead of ‘9PM (Till I Come)‘ is the perfect pairing to the hard, dry Tech House beat, filling spaces with its memorable line. Try to play this one at a gig without the crowd singing along. We couldn’t, it’s just super catchy.
CHRSTPHR · CHRSTPHR – 9PM (Till I Come) Burak Yeter X Parkah & Durzo – Say My Name
Genre: Deep House
After his smash hit ‘Tuesday’ featuring Danelle Sandoval, which racked up a mind-blowing 580+ million streams, Burak Yeter is back in the Dance music spotlight with ‘Say My Name‘. The single sees him join forces with talents Parkah & Durzo for a track that promises to follow the steps of its hit predecessor.
Containing an optimal balance between strings, melodic plucks, low vocals, and groovy beats and basslines, we can see this track being the next Summer hit, inside and also outside music festivals. It’s easy on the ears and could be the perfect soundtrack for, say, holiday-themed reels. Listen and be the judge!
Casino Gold – Into The Wild
Genre: Deep House
Continuing with the theme of beautifully-crafted Deep House, we’ve got a fresh new track from Casino Gold, a duo starting to make waves in the industry for their polished melodic sound, which is reminiscent of earlier eras of House, all while also gracing their listeners with cutting-edge leads and sounds. It’s a blend of old and new.
‘Into The Wild‘ blends classic sounds with a modern groove, weaving in lovely vocals that resonate deeply. This fusion of familiar elements and fresh rhythms is a case in point of what we mentioned earlier: their ability to time travel to two places simultaneously.
Lexa Hill – Flowerz
Genre: House
Allow us to close this week’s House-tinted New Music Friday with a question: do you like flowers? Or rather, do you like ‘Flowerz‘? We sure do. In fact, we’ve been following d:vision’s releases closely for a while now, and they seem to deliver banger after banger. Their latest journey is one piloted by Italian mastermind Lexa Hill.
His piece is a rework of a classic track of the genre, the homonymously titled ‘Flowerz’, Armand Van Helden & Roland Clark’s one to be precise. Alex’s version infuses the original’s iconic vocals with a pulsating bassline and a captivating guitar riff, for a combo that is sure to be a floor igniter everywhere you go.

Blanke Releases Masterful ‘Emergence’ EP

Multi-genre producer Blanke and his highly-anticipated debut Monstercat EP, Emergence has finally arrived. Aptly named, the EP blends a mixture of polarizing emotions and energies, symbolizing the resilience found in the aftermath of challenges. It conveys a poignant yet hopeful narrative — amid chaos, beauty is bound to arise, echoing into themes of renewal and cyclical transformation presenting an aspect of depth and darkness that can precede change. The accompanying visuals display a city consumed by plant life, highlighting rebirth and growth. Listen here. Last month, we were also able to sit down with Blanke for an interview as he kicked off his tour. Read it here.
Music festival attendees are bound to encounter Blanke’s music, whether they find themselves at the melodious atmosphere of the main stage, or at the electric energy of the bass stage. 2023 was a milestone year for Blanke, as he made unforgettable performances at events and venues including Lollapalooza (Chicago and Paris), EDC Las Vegas, HARD Summer, Lost Lands and Empower Field in Mile High Stadium (opening for Illenium on his Trilogy:Colorado Show) to name a few. He’s landed major collaborations with renowned names in the dance scene such as REZZ, Zeds Dead, Seven Lions, and Gryffin, and created official remixes for Sullivan King (‘Someone Else‘) and Ray Volpe, with his viral take on ‘Laserbeam‘ under his Drum & Bass alias, ÆON:MODE. He’s also caught the attention of media including LA Weekly, The XLNT Show, Magnetic Magazine, and more.
Fans can catch Blanke on his current ‘EARTH TO THE STARS: EMERGENCE’ tour, where he’ll head to venues including NOVA in San Diego on March 29th and The Midway in San Francisco on March 30th with support from acts such as an early set from himself as ÆON:MODE, Fairlane, EDDIE, and others.

BREAKING: Ultra Miami Day 1 Shutting Down Over Severe Weather

Staff is asking attendees to leave the festival site until further notice.
Fresh, yet unfortunate news right here, as our on-site team has confirmed that Ultra Music Festival Miami has been suspended for the time being. This, due to a front of bad weather currently in the area. The entirety of Bayfront Park has been evacuated, anticipating the rain and winds, which had been present since the get-go on this year’s Ultra Miami, could get worse.
Ultra has made an official announcement on their socials, asking everybody to leave the site, including the press. It reads: “ULTRA ALERT / SEVERE WEATHER – LIGHTNING & STRONG WINDS. For your safety, Ultra Friday is temporarily shutting down. Please calmly leave the park now“.
A warning had been made earlier today regarding the weather and how light rain could turn into heavy thunder and lightning, and so this was somewhat foreseeable. We’re on the lookout for more information as to the state of the festival, if it will be resumed today, and in case it isn’t, how, when — or if — the remaining Day 1 sets will be rescheduled.
Stay tuned for more news.

Bradderz & 25KV Join Forces To Create The Momentous Single, ‘Speed Garage’ + Interview

Get ready for the collaboration of two fierce Garage talents brought together to shine a light on a forgotten force known as Speed Garage. Bradderz and 25KV, the latter being the UKG/ Bassline virtuoso Lee Viner, worked tirelessly to bring this late 90’s genre, characterised by its distinctive skippy thumping drums and alarm effects, back to our attention, and it definitely doesn’t miss.

GETTING TO KNOW: Bradderz and 25KV
Bradderz : Shaun Bradshaw
25KV : Lee Viner
Introduce yourself and your project
Myself (Bradderz, label owner and composer) & 25KV is the producer of this project. 
Explain what musical genre fits you best
Speed Garage / UK Garage / House Music / Garage House
Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you?
Bradderz :
Yes my dad, I grew up listening to 80’s music in my dad’s car.

What kickstarted your music career?
25KV:
I first started getting my music out there in the early 2000’s, before the 25KV alias. 
Back then, before you had all the social media platforms, we used to use music forums (like Staylocked and Uptwon Records) to network and show clips of our music. In 2003, I entered a competition on the Staylocked forum to get a track on their debut vinyl EP with other producers. The track was ‘Lee Viner – Falling’, and luckily it got picked for the EP. That was my first vinyl release and introduction to UK Garage.
Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time
25KV:
The fundamentals of my sound have always been pretty similar from when I started out, to the present day. Interesting vocal chops and musical riffs, backed with a catchy bass line. Bringing together old school elements with a modern approach – that’s the aim anyway. I’d like to think the quality of production and mix has evolved over time though!
Bradderz:
Speed Garage was around early 1996 and finished around 1999. The sound has always been around in a small underground scene, it’s only recently that Speed Garage has charted again with original vocals & remixes from the likes of Eliza Rose & Becky Hill. Before, it was 187 lockdown working with Louise & Robbie Williams. 
Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers?
Bradderz:
Learn how to produce yourself and don’t use an engineer pretending you can produce. 
25KV:
Don’t get too caught up in what equipment or plugins you have or haven’t got. Just learn your DAW inside out and get your ideas down. You can always add to your setup as you go along when you need it, or when you can afford it, just don’t let it kill your creativity.

How do you nurture your industry relationships? 
Social media. 
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
Bradderz :
Jon Buccieri, Bk298 Lee Viner, Dista.
25KV :
Lee Amico, Shaun Bradderz, Staylocked, Final Cutt, Pointblank. 
Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you + Youtube links
Sly Slippin EP – Badbwoy
Raw Speed Garage tune that still works to this day on the dance floor. 

A.K Hunter Feat June – Round ‘N’ Round
Rare vinyl what not many have, discovered by garage Vybes 98 around 2011. 

Rare Candy – Play Around
Produced by Bk298, this was released on my bootleg label Ruff ‘N’Tuff Recordings, there’s only 6 vinyls that exist. This was one of the first tracks made from the Speed Garage revival. 

What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software?
25KV :
I’d say my favourite piece of equipment is actually the curve screen monitor that I have. Using Reason 11, which has 3 main sections to it, having a large second screen has really improved my workflow to be able to see everything at once.
Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel
Bradderz :
Niche Sheffield, the original one on Sydney Street, great music and atmosphere, it really was about the music & dancing. Not like today with everyone facing the DJ with a phone in their hands (this is not raving). 
Festival would be 90’s Fest hosted by Jamie Duggan, this event features every DJ / Artists that was important in the 90’s and the line up gets bigger every year! 
Name an outlandish rider request?
Bradderz :
Happy with drinks.
Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve?
Bradderz :
Going to the Niche with mates and dropping disco biscuits like every other raver did from Sheffield.
What famous quote represents you best?
Bradderz : “Speed Garage is back forever ;)”, joking I don’t have one.
If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why?
Niche Sydney Street’  I was always a raver but it would have been good to DJ there.
One song you really couldn’t live without and why?
Bradderz :
Plan B – In The Name Of Man. Underrated song that everyone needs to hear with a powerful meaning.

Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present)
Bradderz :
187 Lockdown, Sol Brothers, BK298, Lee Viner, Jon Buccieri
25KV :
Artful Dodger, BK298, DJ Huggy, Banxe, Phonetix

What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire?
Bradderz :
Listening to 80’s music such as Blondie and Michael Jackson was the turning point which inspired me to listen to other styles of music.
25KV :
The buzz of hearing one of my tracks played out in a club for the first time, that was the best feeling and inspiration to work harder. 
Tell us more about your plans for the future
Bradderz :
Release more music with original vocalists and hopefully compose more lyrics as that’s what’s missing in the music industry these days – how many times can ‘Show me love’ get remixed? 
Any worldly advice you’d like to share?
Be different ! People want to see something they haven’t ever seen before! Exactly like Fish56Octagon is doing at the moment’, reviewing music in a fun way’. Even though we’ve had support with our release with great artists such as “ Flashmob” & “ Cash Only ” I really do think Fish56octagon played a big part of making our track get noticed. Also special thanks for Phonetix for featuring us on his new UKG website check it out.

Alex Poet Releases His First Single Of 2024 – ‘Deezire’ + Interview

The latest release from Alex Poet is Deezire. Collaborating with Carry Lewis, Alex Poet aimed for a slightly edgier but still soulful tone similar to popular electronic artist Fred Again, for this future summer hit,. He focused on conveying a narrative that intertwines themes of love and ambition, exploring the allure of materialistic pursuits prevalent in today’s society— fame, luxury, unbridled ambition and body dysmorphia.

 
GETTING TO KNOW: Alex Poet
Introduce yourself and your project
My name is Alexandre Dias. I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and later moved to London. Now, I’m based in New York. “DEEZIRE” is by far the best track I’ve produced so far. Its sound aesthetics are on point. The top line is soulful but has an edgy vibe to it. The bass, arpeggiator, and drums blend exceptionally well, making the single a club heater.
Explain what musical genre fits you best
Genres are constantly evolving, and the same applies to me. Everything and anything with a good groove and some sort of lyrics catch my attention.
Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you?
I grew up listening to Brazilian popular music. At a young age, my brother used to collect CDs and play them all the time. He had a very eclectic taste, leaning more towards rock, melodic punk, and international pop.

What kickstarted your music career?
In 2008, I had my first trip to Ibiza, and I just fell in love with the music and the culture. 
However, it wasn’t until 2017, after I finished my degree in Health Sciences (yes, I was a registered nurse for almost 5 years), that I started going to live gigs every week in London, including Brixton Academy, the O2 Arena, Barbican, and started listening to the BBC 1 Dance radio shows. It was during this time that I decided to research music production, DJing, and radio courses. So, after enrolling in some courses in London and Ibiza, I started hosting a party called Sensus, which gave me valuable experience performing for a live audience. Additionally, I had a radio show at MI-Soul where I could play some of my favourite records. I also performed at parties and festivals associated with the station. I began networking and secured several residencies across town.
Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time
My sound is evolving every day. 
In the very early days, it was a passion and love for soulful house music, tunes that I heard back in the day. I have been fortunate to record tracks with incredible people, renowned vocalists such as Inaya Day, Natasha Watts, Michelle Weeks, and Karmina Dai. I connected with them even though I was still in my early days, but I guess they liked my approach. The sound design was the trickiest element due to the constant need for something new, but it’s still a work in progress.
Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers?
Keep it simple, don’t be afraid to change the vibe in your production. Stay true to yourself, be a good person.
How do you nurture your industry relationships?
Nurturing relationships in the industry is very important, and I definitely need to do more work on that. I guess it’s done by contacting people, sending them a message on WhatsApp or email, or by attending their shows and gigs.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
My husband, my closest friends, and my family.

Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you 
Well, it says what’s on the tin. Three absolute house classics, representing the early days of house music with classic instruments and drum machines, the synths, and soulful vocals  that, to me, are timeless.
Your Love · Frankie Knuckles · Francis Nicholls · Byron Walton 

 
Jesse Saunders On and On

 
MARSHALL JEFFERSON – MOVE YOUR BODY [The House Music Anthem]

 
What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software?
I am still in love with the Prophet 6 because of its classic and vintage sound, as well as its flexibility in shaping sounds. The arpeggiator and sequencer options are very cool too. .
Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel
My favourite parties and festivals are Miami Festival, IMS, Defected Croatia, and Ibiza, of course. Lately, daytime parties have captured my interest as well. The energy and atmosphere at these events are fantastic!
Name an outlandish rider request?
I used to have my own event in the beginning. We would hire a headliner and support them at the event. One of the strangest requests we ever received was if we could arrange transportation and hotel accommodations for the artist’s pet. 
Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve?
My favourite clubbing memory would probably be at Pacha Ibiza back in the day. It was all about the funky house music. Dancers and go-go dancers adding to the fun. Roger Sanchez and David Morales were likely on the decks. 
What made it special was that there was no or very little mobile phones on the dance floor. It used to be all about the music and having a good time.
What famous quote represents you best?
The quote that best defines me is by Steve Jobs: ‘And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking’
If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why?
That’s a very good question, meaning it’s a hard one for me to respond to, but let’s aim high… I would love to perform at Madison Square Garden in NYC. 
Music is….. (explain more)
Music is part of my daily life, in all occasions and situations, whether high or low. It’s the air I breathe, my bread and butter.
One song you really couldn’t live without and why?
“Strings of Life” by American electronic musician Derrick May, in collaboration with Michael James, and released under the name Rhythim Is Rhythim. I love the melodic riff of the strings; it’s a timeless piece that still sounds fresh today. It brings people together as one and allows them to literally put everything aside.

Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present)
Paul Kalkbrenner
Fatboy Slim
Carl Cox
The Blessed Madonna
Honey Dijon

What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire?
Wow, that goes way back, perhaps Dad listening to ABBA on the radio while driving his tanned-coloured Chevrolet… or Ney Matogrosso singing and performing with makeup on and lavish outfits – two extremes there lol I know…
Tell us more about your plans for the future
Taking one day at a time, continue dedicate myself to learning the piano, mastering different languages, producing more records, and working with children in need.
Any worldly advice you’d like to share?
“Work hard, play hard.”

Heavy Rain And Winds To Hit Miami On Ultra Day One

Calling all EDM fans in South Florida! Get ready to pack those ponchos and stash some wet wipes for rain on Ultra Day One. Suddenly this weekend’s sunny festival forecast is looking a lot more like a tropical downpour.
Starting Friday, Miami is expected to experience heavy rain and strong winds on Ultra Day One. After all, this could put a serious damper on some of the biggest events of the year.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch and Wind Advisory for Miami-Dade and Broward counties. They are predicting up to 6 inches of rain in some areas. That’s not exactly ideal weather for Ultra with multiple stages, that attracts tens of thousands of attendees.
Despite the rain, possibility of flooding and strong winds, organizers of Ultra Music Festival have not yet made any announcements regarding schedule changes for Day One. This may result in delayed or cancelled performances.
Armin van Buuren, Peggy Gou, Chase & Status, David Guetta, Miss Monique and Orbital are among the acts on the bill for this year’s event. Find the set times and streaming schedule for Ultra Miami 2024 here.
So, Miami festival-goers, keep an eye on the latest weather updates and be prepared for anything. Throw some rain gear in your backpack, dust off those waterproof phone cases, and hope for the best.

Seven Lions & ILLENIUM Feat. ÁSDÍS – ‘Not Even Love’

Elevating together with a bold and bright dance floor-ready anthem, acclaimed artist, producer, and DJ Seven Lions joins forces with GRAMMY® Award-nominated record-breaking electronic music juggernaut ILLENIUM for a stunning new joint single entitled ‘Not Even Love‘ featuring ÁSDÍS out now via Casablanca Records.
The highly anticipated track notably continues a long history of collaboration between these two visionaries, stretching back nearly a decade to the 2016 fan favorite ‘Rush Over Me‘ featuring Said The Sky and HALIENE. They initially teased ‘Not Even Love’ on social media. However, fans went wild when Seven Lions pulled up on stage during ILLENIUM’s historic sold out show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for the official live debut of the single during GRAMMY® Awards weekend. Fan enthusiasm exploded, posting thousands of videos of the performance and creating a viral moment for the song in advance of its release. Listen to ‘Not Even Love‘ HERE. Watch the official visualizer HERE.
Otherworldly synths wrap around a gripping piano melody on the track. Right from the jump, ÁSDÍS captivates with an arresting and emotional vocal performance. The momentum culminates on a dramatic drop offset by the irresistible hook, “Not even love can save us.” The accompanying visual projects this energy on screen with a series of equally electrifying vignettes. Next up, Seven Lions will grace the stage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, FL March 22-24 for two sets. He will take over the Ophelia Stage tonight and close Worldwide Stage on March 23. Expect to hear ‘Not Even Love‘ in all its glory live!
