Stay in the loop with the latest updates, event announcements, and everything happening in the world of dance music — brought to you by RaveLink. 🤖💜
‘Stay’ brings blissful Aussie summer energy, positioning itself as an early summer anthem contender for ravers worldwide. The dreamy, satisfying drop feels like a long-awaited exhale—a catchy vocal sample of Exile’s ‘Kiss You All Over’ combines with a bouncing bassline groove, all coming together in perfect balance.
FISHER’s last year was huge, but he’s going even bigger in 2025. After a massive debut—selling out 30,000 tickets instantly and injecting over $50 million into the local economy—FISHER’sOUT 2 LUNCH Festival returns to his hometown, The Gold Coast, this May, now expanded to two days.
Last year, Fish sold out 2x of San Francisco’s Cow Palace, packed out Brooklyn Navy Yard for three nights, and headlined a huge one-day curated event at London’s Gunnersbury Park with Purple Disco Machine & Vintage Culture. On August 8th, The Fish has done it again, returning to London for another completely SOLD OUT event, FISHER on the Thames, at the stunning Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. He also recently announced a headline show at the legendary San Jose City Hall in California, which sold out in a shocking 10 seconds, and has just announced he’ll headline the brand new CATCH & RELEASE stage at Tomorrowland 2025 in July, as well as the label’s takeover at Space Miami on 26th March, playing alongside Paco Osuna, SOSA and more.
Not done there, FISHER and Chris Lake bring their Under Construction B2B show to the Bollywood Boulevard in Mumbai’s Ballard Estate on April 20th, following their roadblock event on Hollywood Boulevard show in LA last year.
After the success of his Hï Ibiza residency last year, on June 5th, all roads lead to Ibiza again as FISHER graces the island with his brand-new residency at UNVRS, running every Thursday until September 25th.

Roger De Graaf and Eelko van Kooten founded Spinnin’ in 1999. The company became part of Warner Music Group in 2017, when van Kooten stepped down. Spinnin’ has helped launch and nurture the careers of many of the biggest names in dance. These include Afrojack, Cheat Codes, CYRIL, Don Diablo, Fedde Le Grand, Gabry Ponte, Lum!x, Kriss Kross Amsterdam, KSHMR, Martin Garrix, Martin Solveig, Nicky Romero, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt, Sander van Doorn, Timmy Trumpet and Tiësto.

A new study by Carewell, a leading online retailer of home health and caregiving products, found that over 1 in 10 adults aged over 50 list electronic as their favorite genre of music.
The study surveyed nearly 600 seniors about the role music plays in their lives, uncovering a heartwarming affinity for electronic music legends like Avicii, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk, the lattermost of whom found fans in roughly 10% of respondents.
Sony Music Entertainment
Beyond genre-based preferences, the data paints a broader picture of music’s emotional power. 64% of respondents listen to music daily and more than a quarter regularly revisit live performances on YouTube. Meanwhile, 79% said music sparks happy memories and 77% believe it helps reduce stress.
A not-so-surprising statistic: 45% of seniors still primarily listen to music using AM/FM radio. Only 28% use Spotify, highlighting how many older adults haven't fully embraced streaming technology and continue to rely on more traditional ways of enjoying music.
Regardless, for many, these songs aren't relics of the past, but ongoing sources of comfort and connection. And for those wondering if their favorite bass drop will still hit decades from now, the forecast is looking pretty bright.

And sometimes, just occasionally, they say that when a label owner tries to film an interview with his artist for a cool ‘on road’ style video while driving to gig, but the sound quality is too rubbish for any of that caper, and it’s not the best interview because you’re travelling on busy A-road on the picturesque UK south coast on the first sunny Sunday of 2025 so conditions are a little stressy and fellow road users are far from blessy… Then you should write a story about it. Maybe even send it to your old friends at UKF.
Okay, only I said that last one. And I write it not from the perspective of a music journalist, but in the capacity as both a DJ’s driver (the full round trip involved over 11 hours and 30 minutes of drive time) and (more importantly) a label owner who has worked hard with an artist to help him unleash what I feel to be a genuinely exciting and inspiring debut album into the universe.
The label is 1 More Thing, a brand I stepped down from this site as editor to set up. The artist is Lakeway (Liam Ralph), a young talent who was making unique waves with a very distinct fusion of instrumental grime and drum & bass.
I first interviewed Lakeway on this site back in 2017. We stuck a chord with each other at the time with our mutual appreciation of wave music, our love for The Simpsons and our shared experiences battling very noisy minds. During the interview he told me how he’d had to quit uni as his mental health was so acute.
“I got so self-conscious and socially awkward, I would hold my breath whenever I walked past anyone,” he recalls about that particularly treacherous time in his life as we weave through a little congestion coming off the main motorway and onto a long winding A-road that stretches the English south coast. His descriptions hit my heart hard. Just like when we did our first interview over eight years ago, I wanted to give him a hug.
“I fixed that by spending more time in London,” he lets off one of his trademark chuckles. “You can’t do that on the Circle line at peak time. It’s impossible! So I got on with it. It’s not the healthiest way but… dive in, right? Fuck it.”
Highs & Lows
Diving out of uni was the best thing Liam could do. As he worked on himself and his recovery, his music began to pick up the attention of Med School, Hospital Records’ once super cool off-shoot testing ground where many artists like Bop, Keeno, Whiney and Etherwood would flourish and start their careers.
“I’d already been talking to London Elektricity about signing to Med School before I left uni,” Liam explains. “But I knew it wasn’t right. It was all way too much pressure and I was only 18. I’m actually quite proud of how mature that decision was, looking back.”
Eventually though, he did sign with Med School and started to sow the seeds for his debut album which is finally ready for release seven years later. Entitled ‘I’ve Missed The Sun’, it’s an overwhelmingly thicc UK bass odyssey that oozes out of its neon trackies in every direction worth shaking a shell toe at. Grime, trance, house, downbeat, jungle, breaks, hardcore, dubstep, rave. Often a few in one tune.
But as wildly wide-armed as it sounds on paper, sonically it’s very much an album’s album. I’ve Missed The Sun is a powerful trip that guides you from high to low and back again with such consistency and smoothness you never feel like you’re being bombarded by too many different sounds and styles and ideas.
In true album tradition it’s also every bit the personal debut as it reflects Liam’s character and personality; Energetic, unpredictable, prone to misdirection, high levels of esoteric magic, a little tense in places and unapologetically emotional. It’s timeless, too, like all the most enduring albums… While the album’s creation began seven years ago, it feels like the perfect antidote to the turbulent times in which we currently find ourselves.
In reality, it’s been completed since 2022. So why the wait from then until now?
“That’s the million dollar question,” laughs Liam as we drive towards our destination: Butlins Holiday park for the final leg of Hospital Records first ever UK weekender. “I’m not really sure where to start…”
Development Hell
It’s fair to say that during this whole process Liam has endured more than your standard amount of life curve-balls… Label closures, unexplained brain seizures, a cacophony of medical mistreatments and misdiagnoses, severe mental health challenges and of course the universally shared lockdown period five years ago have all had an impact on the release and its delay.
Med School’s closure in 2019 was the first monumental shift. A sudden decision that came with no announcement (even for the artists) this was a brutal twist at the time. “When I told my parents the news it was like sitting them down and saying I’ve got some bad news. The cats dead!” he laughs again but the smile fades quite quickly. “It really was like announcing a death. It felt like that.”
As time has gone by things have settled on this front. While the sudden closure of the label was a very harsh wake-up call to the realities of the music industry, Liam’s relationship with the brand is still on good terms and he can occasionally be spotted on the line-ups for their bigger events and festivals. Such is the case with our mission today.
With the beauty of hindsight, like his decision to leave uni, Med School’s closure came with a silver lining.
“The creative benefit was that I wasn’t thinking, ‘What’s going to go down on the weekend?’,” explains Liam who was touring every weekend while he was signed to Med School. Like so many producers whose main income comes from club shows, his sound was very influenced from his weekend activities. “With fewer bookings, I was able to write what I wanted to hear. I couldn’t be in that headspace when I was doing lots of shows.”
This was a huge turning point for the sound and focus of I’ve Missed The Sun. Working closely with Diffrent (the currently snoozed imprint run by Planet Wax co-founder Dexta) Liam re-imagined his album and reworked the whole thing into what you hear today; an LP that gradually unfolds with a sense of grandness and drama that can you imagine on any dancefloor around the world but carries a musicality and sense of imagination that transcends any rave experience. It’s a fusion that – to my ears at least – touches on reference points of Justice, Andrew Weatherall or dBridge.
It’s a sound that could only come from time away from the rawdog life of a gigging DJ, and it was also heavily compounded by a phase of listening to early rave and electronica during the early chapters of the 2020 lockdown. “It was a strong phase,” he grins, this time legitimately. “A Guy Called Gerald, Orbital. Those kinda ones. It created a very strong vision in my mind.”
Released exactly five years after that strange chapter in our lives began on March 20 this year (also on the first day of spring if you’re into equinoxes and that) you can feel that energy and the strong sense of poignancy. Those unseasonably hot days that marked the first part of lockdown are the sun that inspired the title. “I did miss the sun,” he insists. “Okay so I’m an only child stoner nerd so lockdown wasn’t so different to any other time but I did miss that heatwave.”
As we continue to negate millions of roadworks, endless potholes and countless snooty 4×4 drivers, our conversation continually flips between deadpan admissions and deadly serious confessions. It’s an enduring characteristic of Liam as he is able to jump from an incredibly serious topic to something jocular and silly in seconds. Another confession during the journey was how he deleted all the project files during the process of the album. In non-producer terms this means that the version you hear today can never be reworked or reimagined without being entirely reverse engineered and rebuilt from scratch.
“I deleted it in frustration,” admits Liam who had become obsessed with the album having a seamless production finish that runs throughout the entire journey. Mixdown after mixdown and many extra cost re-mastering his new versions drove Liam to the point of distraction “Frustration at myself! It’s like ‘No, fuck you brain, you’ve been thinking thoughts your whole life and look where it’s got us! Stop. Stop thinking now.”
As all over-thinkers know, there is no ‘off’ button. But the delete button prevented any further over-thinking or over-working the project and the album you hear today is the album he was left with in 2022 thinking it would be due for release on Diffrent in the near future. A very sudden and unexplained neurological issue also put the kybosh on any further developments for several years as around this point Liam also began to experience unexplained seizures.
“A random brain hemorrhage builds character apparently,” he laughs.
Sick Music
In case the label closure and lack of gigs and sudden lack of any type of social life wasn’t quite enough of an impact, Liam’s health then became a priority that meant he had to shelve music almost entirely as he underwent myriad tests and appointments with surgeries and consultants.
“I’m always going to write music. I’m too emotionally driven to not write music,” he explains. “But I don’t know what I wrote during that time. It’s just brain fog. A random jumble of memories. Most the stuff wasn’t worth remembering…”
Except the really scary bits… Like the seizures themselves and the catastrophic fuckries from certain establishments and professionals. At one point he was prescribed such levels of one particular chemical he later learnt he’d been poisoned. At another point he was about to undergo a procedure before understanding he was at risk of having a stroke (he walked out of the hospital on that occasion). Over our epic drive he shares many details and tales of hospital woes but it’s best summarized when I asked him if he had a bucket list. Had things got so bad during this phase of his life that he was no longer obsessing with any type of album ambition and was just hoping to do a few nice things during his final days?
“No!” he laughs. “It’s hard to care in that type of way. I don’t think the brain is great at acknowledging its own lack of existence anyway but if you’ve got a bucket list then you’ve got pressure and stress. For me I decided it was just better to bumble around, be happy go lucky and hope my brain doesn’t explode. It’s still ongoing now. No one knows what caused the seizures and I’m still on meds to this day. For me it’s the confidence thing. You feel like you’re making progress but then you have a seizure and it’s back to zero again.”
Stamina Crew
Highlighting an invisible challenge that many people who have neurological disorders face daily, Liam has been living with that feeling ever since and explains how it can play hell with your mental health and confidence; especially when it comes to aspects such as driving; he has to be seizure free for a number of years before he can re-apply, hence me being his driver for this gig.
Gradually though, over the course of three years, he’s emerged through a haze of meds and complications and the Lakeway I’d been a fan of for years prior has come back into view. Releases on Diffrent, Unchained Asia and Super Sonic Booty Bangers all started to drop over the last two years, setting the scene for the album that’s been sitting in its own time capsule, waiting patiently to be released. Originally signed to Diffrent, a label that has played a huge role in the breakbeat underground and indeed in Liam’s career, I’ve Missed The Sun was handed over to 1 More Thing as I could give the album the energy it deserves and Diffrent is currently on standby mode as the owner Dexta builds up a community around his and Sicknote’s thriving independent record store in South London Planet Wax.
“It’s funny, I can listen to it now and really enjoy it,” he smiles with complete transparency. This isn’t a nervous laugh or his way of making light of something dark. He means it. “I had a moment where I was a little tipsy and just dancing around my room to it at 2am without a care in the world. I genuinely enjoyed it.”
To have that type of relationship with your own body of work is a rarity. In all my years of interviewing artists (who are highly self critical at the best of times), I’ve found most have a love/hate relationship with most of their output. Especially debut albums. And very few would be able to have that type of joyous experience from their own output. But if anyone should be award this experience, it’s Liam. The journey has been so long and eventful that it’s almost like he’s listening to someone else…. Which is fitting really as everything else about the album is different to how he’d first imagined when he started to write it in 2018, too. The label, the context, the inspiration and the word in which we live have all changed drastically. Especially the politics. Yet the album sounds every bit as relevant and attuned to 2025 as if he wrote it under the current excruciating shadow of populism, fascism, neoliberalism and woeful late-stage capitalism
“What would the album sound like if I was writing it now? Some type of dystopian nightmare I suspect!” he laughs. “I’m glad I don’t have to imagine that. I’m just happy that it’s finally coming out and I can move on.”
And with that we arrive at our destination and we’re reminded that despite the many changes in our lives, the world and the scene, one thing that hasn’t changed is the unreliability of Sunday ravers at the arse-end of three day knees up in a UK holiday park. And after all those hours of driving from my own house in Wales to Lakeway’s house in Devon to the show in Sussex, the set is a classic anticlimax scenario as his dancefloor comprises a small collection of fellow DJ friends, a really enthusiastic sound tech, an enthusiastic driver/label owner/ journalist (me) and a few curious passers by who are on their way to the more mainstream D&B attractions of the night; on the left is the Valve warming up with Lemon D, on the right is Shogun Audio preparing the ravers for a full night’s showcase with Deadline and Viridity while the main room behind us has some of the biggest names in dnb in just a few hours including Bou and Camo & Krooked.
It’s a classic schedule clash that all DJs face regularly and have done since the dawn of rave. Ho
Liam seems completely ambivalent about it. If anything, he’s quite happy about the lack of pressure he’s faced with. “It’s just like being paid to have a practice isn’t it?” he laughs before dropping into a series of wonky 140 cuts. Holding a massive ‘banger’ sign above my head to re-balance the flagging energy of the straggling weekend ravers, I nod in agreement, happy not be driving for an hour or two but knowing we’ve got another six hours ahead of us to get home. This time I won’t be trying to interview him in the process.
They were right. It’s definitely not about the destination. It’s about how we got here. And where we go next. Our journey and friendship continues…

The track, out now via Cyclops Recordings, arrives hotly anticipated as the latest chapter in a collaborative saga that keeps on giving. "Lock In" excels at what both producers do best: maximalist sound design and adrenaline-fueled pacing.
The track opens with an ominous, slow-burning build, ratcheting the tension until you're practically gripping your imaginary N64 controller. Then comes the wildcard, that iconic Mario Kart countdown, a mischievous nod to millennial nostalgia that serves as the sonic green light.
Merging technical proficiency with a playful sense of humor, the Mario Kart sample isn't just fan service—it's a clever use of cultural shorthand that enhances the anticipation and complements the frenetic energy that follows. And when the drop hits, it's unapologetically brutal, hijacking the charm of vintage Nintendo gameplay and kicking it into overdrive as Subtronics' signature wonky sound design collides with Wooli's ferocious bass.

With a nostalgic sample and his club-ready production, the soulful track is both a nod to classic dance music and a fresh take on contemporary house. FISHER interpolates elements of Exile's 1978 soft-rock classic "Kiss You All Over," weaving its vintage vocal fragments into a tapestry of driving basslines and crisp percussion.
"Stay" gradually builds tension before FISHER releases it in a euphoric drop coupled with an infectious refrain: "So stay with me baby and hold me all night long." That uplifting sequence is reminiscent of a weight lifting off your shoulders, striking a balance between romantic lyricism and cathartic production.
The track's release arrives ahead of major performances at Ibiza's newest superclub, [UNVRS], as well as high-profile brand Catch & Release stage takeovers at Miami's iconic Club Space and Belgium's storied Tomorrowland festival.

Katie Rose is not just an artist and singer-songwriter: she is also a powerhouse, multitasking musical maestro, wholly committed to making the magical benefits of singing accessible and inclusive. She has directed and arranged music for over 20 choirs, 5 London hospitals, and the mass choral event “Sing for Water London.” In her coaching practice, she supports beginners and established professionals in music, film, theatre, and TV to claim the magic, joy, and power of their voices and fulfil their creative missions.
International DJ and music producer Michael Doiley is on a mission is to wake up your spirit and get it dancing like it’s never danced before, whether through music, coaching, or teaching people how to meditate! He has played for Russell Crowe, Gordon Ramsay, Martin Scorsese, Victoria Beckham, Prince Albert of Monaco, Pamela Anderson, Kylie, Cheryl Cole, Will.i.am, and many others. He has featured on MTV, Fashion TV, OK! Magazine, and shared a bill with Billy Joel, Duran Duran, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, and The London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Originally written during lockdown as an acoustic track called “Go the Distance”, “Can U Feel It,” is an affirmation of the power of love to bridge any distance. Katie explains, “I wrote the original acoustic track during lockdown as an affirmation that connections continue even when we are separated – that love can go the distance. I invited my good friend Michael Doiley to attend the (very strange) socially distant launch of the album “Flame” in 2021 and was thrilled when he said he’d like to remix ‘Go the Distance.” With his production wizardry and sensitivity to the song’s original message, Michael indeed created two magical EDM remixes to help dancers and listeners feel the connective power of love.
Michael brings his unique touch to the remix single. He says: “As a producer, it’s my job to make sure all elements are blended as seamlessly as possible. Especially as this is essentially a multi-genre collaboration. This journey has been enlightening as much as it’s been fun, and the mix sounds fresh whenever I hear it, with Katie’s hypnotic vocals stealing the show every time. Love it.”
The single also features on Katie’s latest album, “Flame” (2021), which follows three previous albums and a track to accompany the award-winning film about the Dalai Lama, “Road to Peace” (2012).
Releasing “Can U Feel It,” on March 21st is no accident: the release date chimes in with the songs core message of love, hope, connection and renewal. After all, March 21st – the Spring Equinox – heralds spring, when day and night are actually ‘equalized’. Indeed, it is a turning point for new life, spring and for hope eternal… it is a beacon of light we can turn to and internalize to keep us strong in these tumultuous times.

A Cinematic Unveiling of Natural
The atmosphere at HERE at Outernet was charged with suspense as the London crowd stood in silence. As the lights dimmed and the music stopped, a sense of anticipation filled the room. Suddenly, a crescendo of visuals and Massano’s recognizable deep and driving soundscapes pulsed through the venue. The tension mounted until a powerful visual revelation appeared on the screen: MASSANO-DEBUT ALBUM – NATURAL – 25.4.2025.
The music erupted in excitement as the announcement confirmed what fans had long speculated. Massano’s first full-length project was finally on the horizon. This moment highlighted not only Massano’s ability to command an audience but also his creative growth as an artist. The release of NATURAL signals a pivotal point in his rise within the melodic techno scene.
The Rise of Massano
Massano’s journey to Natural reflects artistic growth and rapid success. He emerged from Liverpool’s underground scene and gained recognition with ‘The Feeling ‘on Afterlife in 2020. That track quickly became a favorite among melodic techno fans, earning support from Tale of Us, Mind Against, and Artbat.
Since then, Massano has built a reputation through successful releases and high-profile performances. He has performed at some of the world’s most influential venues, including Brooklyn Mirage and Drumsheds. His sets at major festivals like Tomorrowland and Awakenings have further established his ability to create immersive, emotionally charged experiences.
Support from industry giants has strengthened Massano’s rise. This level of backing has reinforced his status as one of melodic techno’s most exciting new talents. Massano’s rapid ascent has come with growing creative confidence. His ability to blend deep, emotional melodies with driving rhythms has made his sound both distinctive and memorable. With Natural, he is combining his signature style with fresh influences and innovative production techniques.
What to Expect from NATURAL
Although Massano has kept most details about the album under wraps, he has hinted at a mix of unreleased material, collaborations, and some of his biggest tracks to date. Fans can expect the album to reflect his distinctive melodic techno style — atmospheric and emotionally rich, driven by layered synths, deep basslines, and carefully crafted tension.
In the lead-up to NATURAL, Massano has already given fans a glimpse of what’s to come. Tracks like ‘Throwing Stones‘, ‘Angel In The Dark’, “Fama Land,” and ‘Touch Me’, highlight his talent for balancing dark, moody undertones with euphoric climaxes. This balance between emotional depth and dancefloor energy defines his style and sets the tone for the upcoming album.
Massano has described NATURAL as a deeply personal project. He explores themes of transformation, emotional release, and human connection throughout the album. His ability to translate emotion into sound will likely shine through in every track. The album reflects his artistic journey — from underground releases to becoming a major figure in melodic techno.
A Defining Moment in Massano’s Career
The announcement of NATURAL signals more than just the release of an album — it marks Massano’s arrival as a fully realized artist with a distinct voice and creative vision. The excitement surrounding the project reflects the strength of his music and the deep connection he has built with his audience.
Massano’s upcoming performances will build even more momentum leading up to the release of NATURAL. He’s set to play at major festivals like Coachella and Ultra, where fans will likely hear new material. His ability to captivate both intimate club settings and massive festival stages positions him as a versatile and dynamic force in electronic music.
Massano’s ability to create powerful emotional moments on the dancefloor sets him apart. His sound blends haunting melodies with driving rhythms, creating a unique experience that resonates with global audiences.
For Massano, NATURAL isn’t just an album — it’s a statement of identity and creative evolution. It will likely leave a lasting imprint on the global electronic music landscape. Fans can expect a sonic journey that captures the essence of Massano’s artistry and defines the next chapter in his career.

Boiler Room will plan to make a bold statement with its inaugural Ibiza club residency at the iconic Amnesia Ibiza nightclub. This groundbreaking partnership will seamlessly connect Ibiza’s vibrant culture with a global audience through seven meticulously curated events this summer. As the spiritual home of underground clubbing for nearly 50 years, Amnesia Ibiza boasts an unparalleled reputation for innovative music curation. It has consistently hosted a spectrum of subcultures and championed diverse electronic artists, establishing itself as the perfect venue for Boiler Room’s residency.
The events will dominate Thursdays throughout the summer—specifically on June 12th and 19th, July 17th, 24th, and 31st, and August 14th and 28th, 2025. Boiler Room will take charge of seven exclusive shows, streaming live from Amnesia Ibiza at both the renowned terrace and its main room, featuring an exceptional lineup of talent from across the electronic music landscape.
The history of Boiler Room at Amnesia Ibiza contains memorable events
Historically, Boiler Room’s presence on the White Isle has provided fans with occasional, and yet unforgettable, one-off events. However, when Boiler Room made its powerful debut at Amnesia Ibiza last summer, it showcased the venue’s compatibility not just as a location, but as a hub for a shared music policy that elevates alternative talent. A standout moment was Charli XCX’s game-changing Boiler Room DJ performance in 2024, which ignited a cultural phenomenon and drew significant global media attention, setting a new standard for the club’s discerning music curation approach.
Furthermore, this announcement signals a pivotal moment for two of club culture’s most influential entities. For over five decades, Amnesia has defined Ibiza’s identity, merging the island’s free spirit with the evolution of international clubbing culture. It stands as a beacon of electronic music and embraces a diverse global community of clubbers.
An important part of local London nightlife turned into a global dance music powerhouse
This summer’s residency continues to build on the incredible momentum of last year’s cultural breakthrough. The focus will be squarely on showcasing remarkable talent from across the electronic music spectrum, reinforcing the commitment of both Boiler Room and Amnesia to support emerging artists who are redefining the boundaries of club culture.
Since its creation in 2010, Boiler Room started off as an intimate London gathering and they became a powerhouse of global culture. With over 8,000 performances to date and broadcasting to more than 283 million people each month, Boiler Room is dedicated to connecting local dance floors with a worldwide audience, ensuring that participants experience the heart of Ibiza’s nightlife this summer, no matter where they tune in from. This new residency of Boiler Room strengthens the unwavering commitment of Amnesia Ibiza to spotlight cutting-edge independent talent, with Boiler Room placing music firmly at the forefront of the discussion.

“I am part of Deathpact and I was the masked person who appeared in a video circulating on the internet from the show in Phoenix last weekend,” the statement began. “I am incredibly sorry to her for what happened.”
Deathpact explained that while attempting to greet as many fans as possible, they inadvertently touched the fan in a way that was inappropriate. “In hurrying to meet and greet as many fans as possible, I wasn’t careful enough and clearly touched her in a way that I shouldn’t have – and did not intend to,” the statement continued. “I promise you, it was not intentional. My intention was to give her a friendly shoulder tap. I missed her shoulder.”
The artist emphasized that their actions do not reflect their values or the ethos of the Deathpact project. “My wife, my family, and team were right there with me in that moment. As soon as I became aware of what happened, I apologized to her and her partner that same evening, in person. This is not in any way – and never has been – what we as a project or I as an individual stand for. I am sickened that I failed her, our community, my team, and my family.”
Deathpact also acknowledged a misstep in their initial response to the situation earlier this week. “Earlier this week while trying to address the situation as quickly as possible, we missed the mark in trying to explain what happened. My responsibility isn’t just about what I meant to do, it’s about the impact of my actions on others. Period.”
Moving forward, Deathpact announced changes to the way they will engage with fans. “Going forward, we are changing how we engage with our community to ensure that personal space is respected so that something like this never happens again.”
The apology comes in response to a video that circulated online, capturing the incident at the Phoenix show.

Explorer Vol. 1, the album: that “Vol.1” is a tantalising hint of things to come, with Adam showcasing his inspiration from his whole past creative journey whilst continuing to explore different sounds and new genres. It reflects permutations of Adam’s headspace and who he is, celebrating his personal interests and influences including in sci-fi, both musically and visually. A new age for Adam Beyer, after a prolific slew of superb EPs, singles and collabs which have spanned 20 years since his last LP.
‘Explorer’ the single: A metallic chain of notes accompanies techno beats & hi-hats, with deep bass stabs and snatches of chopped spoken word. The growling voice dominates the track, intoning assertive, challenging lyrics – this is a time for change, “so whatchu gonna do?.” The dark, brooding theme punches home the thought-provoking message.

Available now on iPhones and Android devices, the app aims to provide "the best place to discover DJs and club nights in your city." With three major sections on its platform, Dancefloor displays to users nearby events, DJs in their area and venues that regularly host branded club nights.
Users can view each venue's calendar of events and purchase tickets in-app. There's also a social media aspect of Dancefloor in which fans can follow artists for posts, YouTube uploads and upcoming shows.
In addition to helping concertgoers discover club nights, Dancefloor's developers have shared information on their website about how artists and promoters can utilize the platform. Artists can launch fan sites, newsletters and posts directed at their followers, and they can also access analytics on their shared content and broadcast links to events.
On the promoter side of things, the developers promise no booking fees on their first three events and "some of the lowest booking fees in the industry." They can also implement loyalty programs from within the app and customize event pages with trailers, image galleries and more.

The move follows months of advocacy with a recent push from the festival's organizers. The initial crackdown was triggered by a viral video showing a dolphin, Mincho, suffering a severe acrobatic injury after landing on concrete during a performance in January, along with reports of two dolphin deaths last year.
Citing inadequate conditions, a lack of proper permits and unauthorized activities, Profepa, Mexico’s environmental enforcement agency, reportedly found that the facility was in violation of multiple regulations. Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection Mariana Boy Tamborrell confirmed the shutdown on social media.
The news follows our earlier report on Ember Shores' efforts to investigate the dolphinarium. The festival faced pressure from fans and activists to take a stand against dolphin captivity as the facility's practices became public.
While concerns remain over Mincho's survival, Tamborrel stated that the dolphin has been relocated for monitoring. She also claimed that Profepa will continue to carry out inspections of all the dolphinariums across the country to ensure proper treatment.
Profepa's decision establishes a precedent for stricter oversight of marine animal facilities in Mexico, prompting the enforcement of existing regulations and further inspections across the country.
“We support the investigation into this case and call for transparent inspections in all dolphinariums in the country," said Eugenia Morales, Wildlife Campaigns Manager at World Animal Protection. "It’s time for this to be the last generation of dolphins used for entertainment in Mexico."
