DJ Bander Talks How To Make Money Doing What You Love, Growing On Social Media & More

DJ Bander is a multi-millionaire investor, entrepreneur, composer, and producer originally from New York and now based in Los Angeles. DJ Bander (Zach Schnall) not only wears many hats but is a wealth of knowledge on a myriad of topics such as finance, digital marketing, music production, and branding. Put simply, DJ Bander is an expert on how to actually make money (real money) doing what you love.
What advice do you have for DJs and producers when it comes to social media marketing and branding?
What I always tell DJs and producers is to focus on production first and make sure that what you’re doing is original work. It’s hard, and even I was tempted when I was coming up as a producer, we had to program everything, it was like drum programming and synth programming and making the sounds and everything. Now, anybody can be a producer because you can take four loops from splice and make a beat and loop it and now you’re a producer. I think that a lot of these young people are not getting the traction with it because people are going to relate to something that sounds unique and original. I think if you really want to separate yourself as a producer, you really need to also study musicianship. Play an instrument, understand music like actually know how to compose and not just be a programmer so that would be the first thing is the best producers are the ones who are brilliant programmer mixers combined with composers.
Then the other thing completing works. Every producer I know, including myself, we have those top 20 tracks we’re working on right now and they’re all so cool but they’re all not done. What my business partner who’s my dearest friend, he has been so good for me in my life, because not only is my partner but he also is one of my top engineers and he knows, he’s every month he’d be like forget your top 20 I want your top five now. I want you to email me your top five songs and then from the top five he’s like, these three we’re getting done in the next 30 days. I want this, next week we’re booking Wednesday in the studio to complete this the next week, this the next week that you got to finish your stuff. You don’t need a hundred great ideas, you need three to five tightly finished records finished, mixed and mastered and a marketing plan for them. So, I think that like really if you notice the producers and the DJs who really shine are the ones who’ve really completed works and I’ve been consistently marketing those completed works.
So, I want to talk a little bit about all your amazing accomplishments that led you to where we are today, one being the remix that you did for Katie Perry that’s huge. Can you walk us through the creative process for that and how did you go about achieving that?
A big thing that I did during that period of time that is really interesting is that my original following from electronic music was actually from remixes. With the Katy Perry one, while it didn’t end up being placed on her actual record it did make the final 10 of all of those remixes. So, it got promoted on all the big channels on Twitter back when Twitter was really popping, so it was on like the Universal pages and on the Katie Perry fan pages. You know, I tell people it’s not as much that my best remixes that were really successful or that I was any more talented at
doing them or that I did a better job on that one, it was almost like certain remixes just worked in the best way. What I mean by that is like that Katy Perry song “California Girls” fit perfectly with the type of EDM beats that I’m good at making. So, it was like the vocals and the arrangement because it was just perfectly done and it was perfectly sitting close to the BPM, because it was popular at the time. I think that it just felt very easy and natural and flowing to build a remix to it. I’ve been sent other projects like where the vocals are just like I love the song but it’s just like oh it’s so frustrating and hard to kind of come up with the beat around it because it just doesn’t sit right.
So, I think with the remixes with that one, it’s a combination of knowing how to really finish and making a solid remix in a fast amount of time. That was another element of it and it’s interesting sometimes when you have time pressure you almost do a better job. I only had like four days to do that remix. I was literally just cranking it out and part of what worked about that was like I didn’t focus on making lots of different instruments because I didn’t have time. I didn’t have time to like try this and try that and fiddle with a thousand different like experimental synth plugins. I went right with my bread and butter with the bass plugin, I know the synth plugin I use all the time. I didn’t try to go outside of my wheelhouse I was like okay I’m just going to focus on a solid hard kick a dope a dope Baseline and smooth pad and that’s it. So it ended up coming out really good because I think I didn’t put any fluff into it. I just banged it out and it ended up coming together in a tight way. So, with remixes, I have so much respect for these guys who just do all these big complex remixes because remixing is really, really, really hard.
Remixing is harder than making original pieces of work because you have to adapt your production to another producer and vocal arrangement. I’m a big fan of chess, remixing in a way reminds me of chess and the fact that like you can be a great chess player, but if you’re not used to the style of the opponent that they’re that they’re playing you’re going to lose, they’re going to smoke you. They’re coming at you and they have a different strategy way of handling it and that’s the same thing with remixes. If you don’t know how to get into the mindset of another producer, you’re never going to be a good remixer.
What tips do you have for artists or people who are just starting a brand when it comes to financial management, because you did mention investing in yourself putting money into different things, but how do you make smart financial decisions while still having fun staying true to your brand enjoying life?
It’s hard. Look I mean I’m not going to deny it’s very hard, the economy is getting more difficult I was very lucky. I’m a little bit older now, but I was very lucky that in the early stages when I when I when I started making money, I was very frugal with it and I reinvested it and I saved it. I mean that’s the most important thing the first and foremost thing that I that I teach young people who are starting to make money or figuring it out is you have nothing to prove to anybody else the only thing you should want to do with your money is to be able to enjoy looking at your accounts going up and seeing those that your investments are doing well. You don’t need to prove to other people things with cars or clothes or lifestyle.
The main mistake that young people make as their money income increases is they try to match it with their spending and in many place they exceed it. So if they’re making you know 5,000 a month they live a 7,000 a month lifestyle you know when they start making 10 they try to show off a 12 to 20,000 a month lifestyle with 10 coming in. That’s a huge mistake. If your spending only goes up by about 20 to 30% of your earned income, you’re always going to have money. It’s like simple math. It’s like you know calorie deficit you know so it’s like if you are always saving more than you’re spending or at least making sure that your savings rate is at a strong level you’ll always be in a good position.
So, that’s the first thing and the second thing is you have to be able to provide a service and a skill set. People want to just be paid for their art and unfortunately, we don’t really live in that world as much anymore. You must look at it as more that you give your art away to monetize your brand and that’s something that a lot of young musicians don’t understand so they’re focusing on making music but you really need to focus on services. Meaning like what is it that you offer to other people that is monetizable. Part of my success is that I have a range of service skills. Obviously, I’ve invested in real estate that’s not as much service but I understand how to put my money to work and to do something with it. I’ve learned how to do marketing, I know how to engineer, I can make Productions and do vocal stuff for other artists and clients. So, there’s a lot of different things that I can do. I’m a consultant, I’m a business investor consultant so I focus on providing value to other people and I think that’s something that young people really need to focus on. If you’re a great beat programmer, awesome, figure out can you know figure out a way to monetize your services for other big producers. Or let’s say you’re a really great producer at making uh Tempo changes, okay dope, I would like especially like when I get a big remix project there’s a lot of there’s a lot of things that I wouldn’t necessarily want to do with my remixing like that I don’t need to I’d rather focus on programming so I would pay a younger producer. I would say, “hey could you get these vocals to like 128 for me” and then I’ll just pay you for that and then I’ll focus on making the track and the remix. So, the young people that I know who are doing well in the industry know how to monetize their service. Then they can always earn money. So that’s something that’s important.
Then when it comes to investing in your brand, it is something that’s important to do. It’s a tough reality but if you don’t put money into your stuff, it’s really not going to go anywhere. People look at these people who are just posting videos and getting tons of views and they’re like wow like how they do like to be honest if you look at if you deep dive a lot of these girls these beautiful young girls that have like insane views on Tik Tok most of them if you notice have come from some money. Someone invested in them, they had Tik Tock ADs, they did something to get the ball rolling to make their stuff get more viral. You don’t see like them on very inexpensive phones in like crummy little apartments and they have like a million something views. There’s no shame if you must work a regular job or have to do something to get the bills paid so you can invest in build this brand. You can start a side business, that’s even better too. So, it’s about building your value and um you know really just focusing on that and making yourself something that you can always monetize with beyond the music.

The Future of Electronic Music Production: Will AI Make Human Producers Obsolete?

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen astonishing advances in recent years, with AI systems achieving superhuman performance in various domains across the board. From image generation to natural language processing, AI’s capabilities continue to expand at an unprecedented rate. Now, the music industry is bracing for the potential disruption that AI could bring to the art of music production, specifically in the realm of electronic music which already is called by some as “beep-boop” music or of course Dubstep really is sometimes robot music!
Since the inception of electronic music, producers have been at the forefront of creating innovative sounds and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible utilizing cutting-edge technology. However, the rapid evolution of AI technology raises the question: will human producers soon become obsolete, rendered redundant by machines capable of composing music beyond human comprehension?
The Origins of AI and Its Musical Ambitions
According to a Harvard University article on the history of AI, its origins can be traced back to the summer of 1956, when a group of researchers converged at Dartmouth College to explore the concept of “thinking machines.” Little did they know that their pioneering work would pave the way for the AI revolution we’re experiencing today.
However, it wasn’t until the 1970’s that AI gained significant traction, with the development of expert systems and neural networks. Fast forward to the present day, and we are witnessing a renaissance in AI, with breakthroughs in machine learning and deep learning algorithms fueling remarkable achievements.
One of the most prominent examples of AI’s musical aspirations is the trademarking of “GPT-6” by OpenAI in 2020. The trademark filing explicitly mentions music production capabilities, indicating that the technology for AI to generate music indistinguishable from human-made compositions.
The Dawn of AI-Generated Music
The idea of AI-generated music might seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the reality is that it’s already happening. In recent years, we’ve witnessed various AI systems capable of composing music, with varying degrees of success and human intervention.
One such example is the AI-generated techno track created by the YouTube channel “Insanity AI,” which showcases the potential of AI to produce complex and compelling electronic music without any human involvement. AI-generated music has not only penetrated the mainstream electronic music scene but the lesser-known subgenres as well, for example Hardstyle. Aptly coined Hardstyle AI, this channel has rocked the Hard Dance scene (especially on Reddit) and sparked a massive debate as to the future of the genre. It’s important to note that not only is the track created entirely though AI but the music video as well. The music video below gives very iRobot vibes which is both fitting and simultaneously ominous and perfectly in sync with the track.
The Difference Between AI-Assisted and AI-Generated Music
It’s imperative to differentiate between AI-assisted music production and AI-generated music. AI-assisted music production involves the use of AI tools and technologies to aid human producers in their creative process. This could include using AI to generate melodies, harmonies, or rhythmic patterns, which the producer can then refine and incorporate into their compositions.
On the other hand, AI-generated music is composed entirely by an AI system, with minimal or no human involvement. In this scenario, the AI acts as the sole composer, creating original musical works based on its training data and algorithms.
The Rise of AI Music Creators
While the concept of AI-generated music may sound alarming to some, it also presents exciting opportunities for a new breed of music creators and the next generation of artists. As AI technology becomes more accessible, anyone with a basic understanding of prompt engineering and a clear vision of the desired musical outcome could potentially create music tailored to their specific tastes.
This paradigm shift could democratize music production, allowing listeners and fans to become active participants in the creative process rather than passive consumers. By providing detailed prompts and guidance to AI systems, individuals without formal musical training or production skills could potentially generate unique and personalized tracks. On the other hand, people who hold certain genres close to heart for example “techno purists” would argue that the utilization of AI goes against everything they stand for. Is this gatekeeping or does their argument have merit?
The Quality Conundrum: AI vs. Human Producers
One of the most significant concerns surrounding AI-generated music is the potential impact on quality standards. While some argue that AI could elevate the overall quality of music by tapping into vast datasets and advanced algorithms, others fear that the lack of human ingenuity and emotional connection could lead to soulless and formulaic compositions.
However, proponents of AI music argue that the technology has the potential to create melodies and compositions that are far more advanced than what most human producers are capable of. With access to the entire musical history of the world and an understanding of complex music theory, AI systems could potentially make creative choices that push the boundaries of what’s possible in music production.
The Vibe and Essence of Worlds
One of the most intriguing aspects of AI music generation is the ability to capture the essence and vibe of entire worlds or concepts. Recent breakthroughs at OpenAI, such as the Sora video generation AI, demonstrate the potential for AI to merge advanced natural language processing with generative adversarial networks or similar technologies used in image generation.
Applying this concept to music production could enable AI systems to create compositions that evoke specific emotions, atmospheres, or narratives based on detailed prompts or descriptions. This could open new avenues for storytelling and immersive experiences in music, blurring the lines between audio and visual mediums.
The AI-Human Collaboration
While the prospect of AI-generated music may seem daunting to some, it’s important to recognize the potential for collaboration between human producers and AI systems. Just as AI-assisted tools have become integral parts of modern music production workflows, AI-generated music could serve as a starting point or inspiration for human producers to build upon.
This collaborative approach could lead to unique and innovative musical experiences, where the strengths of human creativity and emotional expression are complemented by the computational power and pattern recognition capabilities of AI systems.
The Future of Music Production: A Synergy of Human and Machine
As AI technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the future of music production is poised for a significant transformation.
By embracing AI as a tool and collaborator, human producers can tap into a vast wellspring of creative possibilities, pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable in music production. At the same time, the democratization of music creation through AI could empower a new generation of music enthusiasts to become active participants in the creative process, fostering a more inclusive and diverse musical landscape.
However, the true impact of AI on music production will depend on how the technology is developed and implemented. Ethical considerations, such as ensuring fair compensation for human creators and preventing the exploitation of AI systems for nefarious purposes, will be crucial in shaping the future of this rapidly evolving field.
As we stand at the precipice of this AI-fueled musical revolution, it’s essential for all stakeholders – producers, artists, fans, and the broader music industry – to engage in open and constructive dialogue. By embracing the synergy between human creativity and machine intelligence, we can unlock new realms of artistic expression and ensure that the future of music production remains a harmonious blend of technology and human ingenuity.

Moby announces his first live UK and Europe dates in over a decade

Released on May 17, 1999, the album “Play” featured the classics “Porcelain,” “Natural Blues” and “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?” and sold over 12 million copies worldwide, winning numerous awards and becoming the biggest-selling electronic album of all time.   

Says Moby, “It’s been over 10 years since I’ve toured, but someone reminded me that 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the release of ‘Play,’ so it seemed like it might not be the worst idea to do a short European tour to commemorate and celebrate.  The show will feature well-known songs from ‘Play,’ but also a bunch of audience favourites, like ‘Extreme Ways,’ ‘We Are All Made Of Stars,’ ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die,’ and even some old rave bangers like ‘Feeling So Real’ and ‘Go.’  What makes the tour most exciting for me is that I won’t be paid anything.  100% of my profits will go to European animal rights organizations.”
Additionally, Moby announces the release of his next album always centred at night, due out June 14. He shares the newest track from the collection, “dark days,” featuring acclaimed soul-jazz singer-songwriter Lady Blackbird, out everywhere now. “dark days” is a defiant, rhythmic work propelled by her alluring, deep vocals, and earnest soul. always centred at night is a collaborative project, wherein Moby collaborates with some of his favourite vocalists.

Glastonbury Drops Historic 2024 Lineup Featuring SZA, Dua Lipa, Coldplay + More

This year, Glastonbury Festival is gearing up for an unforgettable return. I say this as the festival is bringing a mix of Pop, Rock, Dance and R&B to its festival grounds. Glastonbury is set to take place on Somerset’s Worthy Farm from June 26-30, 2024. With an announcement that has set social media ablaze, the 2024 lineup boasts headlining performances. 2024’s headliners include SZA, Shania Twain, Dua Lipa, and Coldplay. Having said that, the festival promises an eclectic mix that appeals to fans across genres. Coldplay’s return to the Pyramid stage is particularly noteworthy, marking their fifth headlining appearance — a first in Glastonbury history. Their legacy at the festival is unparalleled, having first headlined in 2002, a mere four years into their skyrocketing career.
Fresh Beats and Record Breakers
The announcement of Dua Lipa‘s return to Glastonbury comes on the heels of her latest album. Her LP, Radical Optimism, features chart-toppers like ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season’. Having graced the Glastonbury stages in 2016 and 2017, Dua Lipa’s 2024 performance is highly anticipated, showcasing her evolution as an artist. Meanwhile, SZA is set to make her Glastonbury debut, adding a layer of excitement with her critically acclaimed R&B hits. This lineup revealed later than usual, quashes rumors of appearances by Madonna and Bruce Springsteen. This does, however, set the stage for a festival that champions diversity and talent.
Breaking Barriers and Setting Standards
The 2024 festival is breaking new ground, with two of the top three headliners being female artists for the first time in Glastonbury’s storied history. This significant milestone follows last year’s criticism over a lack of female headliners, which festival organizer Emily Eavis addressed as a reflection of the broader music industry’s challenges. This year’s lineup not only responds to that critique but also sets a new standard for diversity and representation on one of the world’s most prominent musical stages.
As we look forward to Glastonbury 2024, the blend of historic achievements, groundbreaking performances, and the promise of unforgettable musical moments makes this year’s festival a beacon of what’s possible when diversity and talent take center stage. Whether you’re a fan of Pop, Rock, R&B, or all of the above, Glastonbury 2024 is shaping up to be an unmissable event, marking another chapter in the festival’s rich history of memorable performances.

[EVENT REVIEW] WORSHIP 2024 Tour Dominates With Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock & 1991 In Chicago

Since COVID, there’s been some huge changes in the music scene in the city of Chicago. Promotional companies going under or radio silent. Many of the most notorious clubs have changed their management and overall structure completely. Some loved artists politely decline to come back to the city because of the changes. It has been a confusing few years navigating all of this (of course, we’ll always have House music). But if you comb through Chicago EDM fan pages, there is a theme that is very easy to pick up on that all agree on: we want more drum and bass. There’s something insanely special about the genre to the people in Chicago.
Photos from Radius/Victoria Sanders So when it was announced in December of 2023 that the WORSHIP artists (Culture Shock, Dimension, Sub Focus, and 1991) were bringing their tour back to North America, and Chicago was one of the selected cities, these said EDM pages lit up with joy and excitement. Many still talk about the March 2023 performance and so to have the tour return but this time at the popular Radius venue, the days couldn’t go by fast enough. Now that’s over, we only wish we could go back and start the countdown all over again.
Beginnings
Set times came out for the Saturday show and it was immediately noticed that the music began right as doors opened. When that happens in Chicago, it can result in long and frustrating security lines as everyone gets there at once, especially for Drum and Bass. However, thankfully, it was an extremely smooth line with much PLUR and excited discussions about the merch and upcoming sets heard throughout the lines. Local artist CLB set the night off perfectly with some more Melodic/Liquid DnB. It welcomed every attendee in the perfect way; some ran to the merch line or grabbed drinks from the already head-bobbing and dancing bartenders. I spoke with a few that wanted to work the show specially because it was WORSHIP.
Wow.
I’ve been seriously brainstorming how I want to best approach the dissection of this show. Each artist brought it in their own unique way. 1991 was glued to the equipment in front of him. He was laser-focused on the intricate details of his set. I personally developed a love for DnB just over a year ago and right away, 1991 made the crowd feel welcomed and comfortable with playing his most recognizable tracks. The intensity picked up as fans who received special wristbands for on-stage access began hyping up the floor crowd and as Culture Shock took the stage. The energy was palpable at this point as most ticket holders had arrived by then, just as ‘Discotheque’ was played.
It’s hard to believe that Sub Focus has been in the industry since 2003. There’s something so remarkable about the way he performs let alone the other three WORSHIP artists. Sub Focus commanded the stage and made it look easy and he went through his most recognizable tracks and more from his latest album, Evolve, which dropped in May 2023. By this point, every single body in the venue was moving. And when Dimension took the stage to close and dropped ‘DJ Turn It Up’, the night officially received a stamp of approval.
Don’t Blink…
It’s remarkable how fast the night went by. 4.5 hours of nonstop music and insane heaters. Drum and Bass brings out the best people and therefore it was again one of the most enjoyable crowds I’ve ever experienced in my Electronic music career. People were respectful and brought nice and polite vibes while being fully immersed in the show and production. It’s only proper to bring up the popular phrase “Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened“. Sigh. Do it — go to this show. Try something new or immerse yourself in the genre again. When the venue lights came on, not many people wanted to leave. Security had to do security things and start escorting the crowd out but they knew it was because they knew we were all just waiting for our heart rates to come back to normal.
The WORSHIP 2024 tour has just begun! They’re covering more of North America in just the next few weeks.
WORSHIP North America 2024 tour dates:
03/22 – Great Hall, Avant Gardner – Brooklyn, NY
03/23 – Echostage – Washington D.C.
03/24 – TBA – TBA
03/28 – History – Toronto, CA
03/29 – Mission Ballroom – Denver, CO
03/30 – Hollywood Palladium – Los Angeles, CA
Lastly, they’re all stopping in Miami this coming weekend for Music Week (March 24th)! Take a look here for more info and keep an eye out for tickets. Additionally, there will be a huge B2B2B2B2B takeover at EDCLV.
Follow along with all things WORSHIP at their website and check out the pre-orders available for the new 2024 merch as well. The inventory was cleaned out very quickly at the show!

ZHU Released Highly Anticipated New Album, GRACE

GRAMMY®-nominated artist ZHU just released his new album, GRACE, via Astralwerks. His most ambitious and unique project yet, GRACE begs to be listened to from beginning to end, as ZHU takes listeners on a journey from darkness to light, tension to release, uncertainty to peace. The album – which is the soundtrack to a forthcoming film that ZHU created – finds him collaborating with such artists as BANKS, Emotional Oranges, UPSAHL and Zero 9:36, among others, and, on his new single, ‘Settle for Less,’ Puerto Rican/Cuban songstress Sabrina Claudio. 
Obviously, ‘Settle for Less’ is a shining example of how ZHU stirs powerful emotions with his stories and sounds. Beginning with only pensive piano keys, he builds an ethereal atmosphere through Claudio’s reverbed vocals and subtle background harmonies. Finally, the track opens up further with an urgent, percussion-led rhythm as ZHU fights for love on the edge: “You know you touch me in the broken parts / So don’t you leave”.
A decade into his career, ZHU is sharing his world in a way he hasn’t done before. “I felt like I needed to go back to where I grew up”, he says, “to tell the story of where I’m going next”. Moreover, GRACE was recorded mainly at the iconic Grace Cathedral in his hometown of San Francisco. Amid the stained-glass windows and marble columns where generations have sought answers from a higher power, ZHU channeled the grandness of the setting into the album with transcendent organs, string players and even a choir. Most of its tracks are live, first-takes.
You can listen to ZHU’s new album below and on all available streaming platforms.
Stay tuned for more news!

[INTERVIEW] Weekend Heroes Talk Career, Afterlife Debut And More

We had a little chat with quite the duo of veterans, and who have just conquered a new summit.
We kick off this week, quite the special one by the way, by sitting down with Weekend Heroes, a duo of producers and DJs who have taken the world by storm. The alias is the collaborative project between scene veterans Felix Nagorsky, also known as Timelock, and Eli Baltsan, the renowned DJ Zombi.
They first met way back in 2009 with the main goal in mind being creating music that resonated with them yet still sat outside of their independent genres of Dance. What they went for is a balanced blend of Progressive House and Melodic Techno, which they hold to this day.
To say they’ve signed to the largest labels time and time again, although good sounding, would still be an understatement. These guys have gone above and beyond on deals. Just to name a few, for more than a decade, Weekend Heroes have released records on the following imprints: Plattenbank, Toolroom, Spinnin’, FSOE UV, Mango Alley, Zerothree, Anjunabeats, Vandit, Einmusika, and Armada.
On Friday, the duo made their Afterlife debut, in the form of two collaborations with producer Argy. ‘No One’s Coming’ and ‘Talk To Me’ are a part of his studio album, New World.
Without further to do, let’s dive into the interview.
1. You guys are veterans in the industry, with your lone projects Timelock and DJ Zombi being successful names even to this day, yet your sounds are quite far apart when working on your own, the former being closer to Psytrance and the latter paving the way over in Organic House. What made you try and form a duo, and how did the chemistry between you two start growing as Weekend Heroes?
“Yeah, we both started this journey in Electronic music a while ago and in quite different zones. That’s exactly what brought Weekend Heroes to be what it is, a mixture of genres, sounds and inspirations. We find it very interesting to experiment with sounds and textures from different types of audio collages.“
2. What’s your creative process when starting a song? What inspires you to make a song?
“Each and every tune has its own background and story. It can be lyrics we send to the singer and take it from there; it can be a sample from another tune from the past that we start from; it can be a kick-bass combo that inspires us… Basically, we get inspiration from other artists, art from the past, life and the world itself.“
3. How did ‘No One’s Coming’ and ‘Talk To Me’, your collaborations with Argy, come about?
“We share with Argy that we’re fanatics about sound engineering. We have the same interests and audio esthetics fetishes, that’s how it all started. ‘No One’s Coming’ started from the amazing vocals we got and then came a long ping-pong process between the studios, until it became playable, which was not the end at all. We kept tweaking the track. One more and another version after road tests, we introduced slight changes and slowly we got to the point where we felt 100% happy with the result, the way it came out on the album. ‘Talk To Me’ is a darker and more underground number that started as a DJ tool, and that became a full-length tune. It took us around a year to build it properly.“
4. These tracks mark your Afterlife debut. We’d love to know your thoughts on joining the imprint, and if there are any secrets you could tell us between you and the label for the future.
“We are more than happy to release on the number one label of the moment! It’s a great feeling to be “approved” by a brand like Afterlife. We can’t speak about future plans yet, but we can say this is not the last big release from us…“
5. Where do you see your project in a few years’ time? What are your goals, or wishes, as a duo for the next, say, five years?
“We just want to make more good music, travel to play amazing gigs and continue to spend our lives in rhythm like we chose many many years ago. It is not about goals but the journey for us: if you enjoy the road, the destination isn’t important.“
6. If there’s one piece of advice you could give to up-and-coming producers, their workflow, their mindset, whatever feels most valuable, what would it be?
“You just concentrate on your own, don’t copy others, don’t overthink, don’t panic and only be yourself. If you do it well, with heart and soul, with time the result will come. Just stay calm and try to have fun, all the time, life is not too long…“
Final Words
Thank you Weekend Heroes for this lovely conversation. Be sure to check out their newest tracks ‘No One’s Coming’ and ‘Talk To Me’ alongside Argy. Follow them on social media to stay up to date, and stay tuned to our page for more!

Your EDM Premiere: Get ‘Involved’ With Involver – VovKING’s New Incarnation to Debut on Rampage [Video]

Many may have noticed that there has been a bit of an evolution in Ukrainian producer VovKING’s work in recent years. It’s not terribly surprising, as those artists who are still involved in the Ukraine conflict would have a different perspective after nearly two years of war. The newly minted Involver, however, was inspired to overhaul his brand and his sound because of a dream.
It sounds from these words as if this change is not just a remaking of image, but a whole overhaul of soul for the newly minted Involver, and that fans should get ready for some quite profound insights through his music. To begin this journey, his first single under this moniker, “The Feeling” featuring vocalist Aleva Mae, seems to be at the vertex of both the shifts in the artist’s sound and his identity. A marriage of dancefloor 4×4 and minimal neuro via the snares, the track is an ode to the dancefloor itself, likely a long-lost concept in Involver’s native Ukraine.
Involver and Aleva Mae really set forth to capture that elusive feeling all ravers are familiar with, when that perfect moment hits on the dancefloor where everything is united and deeply felt by everyone. They do this by telling the story of the rave in parts, with the intro and the warmup beat. The 4×4 vacillates seamlessly between a straight and a breakbeat, showing how close they actually are, while snippets of the main melody work to foreshadow the crescendo of the song. Similarly, Aleva Mae’s lyrics seem to be searching for “some kind of feeling,” but as the full track drops after the break, the verse expands and she’s no longer “looking for” the feeling, but holdings it as the music crashes around the audience. It’s visceral and goosebump-inducing, this drop, and anyone who’s had a real rave experience will be picturing that moment and that “feeling” as “The Feeling” hits its peak.
“The Feeling” was certainly the right choice for a track to announce Involver’s new involvement in the scene. Heavy, heady and full of rave nostalgia, it’s a call to everyone listening to hold that feeling for those who may not be able to experience live during the current times. It’s a portends of hope as well, because as we all know, “The Feeling” will always be there for us. Involver clearly made this song for himself, his friend and those who are in these struggles in the Ukraine and beyond. It’s a beautiful reminder and a beautiful new beginning.
“The Feeling” will drop on Rampage Records this Friday, March 22. Click here to pre-order or pre-save.

Coachella Announces Brand New Dance-Focused Quasar Stage

Dear visitors, you’re in for a treat. Several three-hour-long treats, to be specific.
One of the largest festivals out there, Coachella, just upped their experience a whole lot. An addition surgically crafted to appeal to the EDM-devoted community, the brand took to Instagram just a few moments ago to present a new dimension of music: the Quasar Stage.
The post is very concise, just noting “Quasar: Coachella’s newest stage” for a caption. Honestly, it doesn’t need any more description: the pictures speak for themselves. Some of the industry’s biggest acts are coming down to this new space to play not hour-long, not two-hour-long, but three-plus-hour-long sets, being able to tell an extended story and show their majesty in full. Some of the acts who will be playing are: Michael Bibi, Diplo B2B Mau P, and, sit down before you faint, Eric Prydz B2B Anyma.
Special Sets And Unlikely B2Bs
Making sure to innovate, Coachella will host a handful of back-to-back pairings, the most surprising of which sees the Swede superstar join forces with the one man who’s currently on top of the Melodic Techno game. Even though they have had close encounters, such as Prydz’s remix of ‘Consciousness’, Milleri’s hit collaboration with Chris Avantgarde — released on Afterlife —, this is the first time they will publicly share the booth. And for a story that will last for the equivalent of three Ultra Mainstage sets, we can only start to wonder how deep of a journey they’re going to deliver for the attendees.
Honestly, if you’re going to Coachella, you’ll have plans for your day. Save this piece of information and mark your calendar: you won’t want to miss a single minute of those 18+ hours of finely-tuned music, coming from your favourite industry leaders. Stay tuned to our page for more news!
