Rich DietZ and bradeazy Transform MGMT's "Kids" Into Synth-Soaked House Anthem

Between the worlds of indie nostalgia and contemporary club culture, Rich DietZ and bradeazy have built a sonic bridge worth crossing with their edit of MGMT's "Kids."
They've landed on Hood Politics Records with the euphoric track, a testament to how electronic music can breathe new life into beloved songs without losing their emotional core. Their rework of the band's synth-soaked classic transforms the familiar into fresh territory, crafting a house music odyssey that pays homage while charting its own course.
Rich DietZ and bradeazy demonstrate a keen understanding of both source material and modern dance floor dynamics, weaving the original's ageless melody into a propulsive framework built for peak-time energy. The producers' emphasis on the track's melody serves as an anchor point, a clever bridge between past and present that gives ravers a familiar touchstone amid their thundering beats.
Where MGMT's version captured youthful nostalgia through indie-rock, their edit recontextualizes that spirit for today's generation. All said and done, it's a reminder that sometimes the best way forward is to look back. Take a listen below.
The track arrives after a breakout year for Rich DietZ, the surging house music duo out of Florida. 2024 saw high-profile performances at North Coast Festival, Breakaway Festival and the Amsterdam Dance Event, the world's leading electronic music summit, among others. The duo's hit remix of A$AP Ferg's "Work" alongside Proppa and Smith & Sorren also continues to dominate dancefloors across the world, receiving support from Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Alesso, Kaskade, Diplo and many more.
Based in LA, bradeazy also had a big year, throwing down at renowned clubs like Las Vegas' Zouk and Miami's E11EVEN. He's now poised for a 2025 DJ residency at Atlantic City's Premier Nightclub.

Will Spotify or Apple Acquire Sonus?

Audio equipment manufacturer Sonos is facing growing speculation about a potential acquisition following a recent leadership shakeup and declining market value.
The company, known for its high-end wireless speakers, has seen its stock price plummet, with its market capitalization now hovering around $1.7 billion, a significant drop from its pandemic peak of over $5 billion. The departure of CEO Patrick Spence and Chief Product Officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin last week has intensified discussions about potential buyers.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman points to Spotify and Amazon as the most likely suitors, each offering unique advantages.
Amazon: Gurman believes Amazon is “the most natural fit,” especially with the recent appointment of former Microsoft executive Panos Panay to lead hardware development. Acquiring Sonos could significantly bolster Amazon’s Echo device lineup with premium audio technology. However, regulatory hurdles, similar to those faced during its attempted acquisition of iRobot, could pose a challenge. Spotify: As a European company, Spotify might face fewer regulatory obstacles. Acquiring Sonos would grant Spotify immediate entry into the hardware market, a long-sought goal. While Spotify previously ventured into hardware with the Car Thing, the product was ultimately discontinued due to limited market demand. Other Contenders: Other potential buyers include Samsung Electronics, which could strengthen its home audio offerings, and Roku, though a stock-based deal might be necessary due to Roku’s limited cash reserves. The Bloomberg chief correspondent added that while larger tech companies like Apple, Google, and Meta could be potential buyers, they are unlikely candidates due to existing strategies and past relationships with Sonos.

Avicii Reclaims Spotlight With Chart Domination Amid Netflix Documentary Success

The genius of Avicii is echoing louder than ever in 2025 as his timeless catalog has surged back into the charts following the release of Netflix's documentary Avicii - I’m Tim. 
As if drawn by the emotional pull of his story, fans worldwide have reignited their love for Avicii’s music, bringing five of his hits into the top 10 of Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart: "Without You," "Hey Brother," "Levels," "Wake Me Up" and "The Nights."
The late artist, whose real name was Tim Bergling, now posthumously holds half of the chart's top spots.
Several of Avicii's singles have seen explosive resurgences following the release of Avicii - I’m Tim. The poignant film chronicles Bergling's rise, struggles with mental health and the personal sacrifices behind his trailblazing career. It released in tandem with Avicii – My Last Show, which revisits the night he DJed at Ibiza's iconic Ushuaïa club for what would be his final performance.
Streaming platforms have also seen a meteoric rise in Avicii’s music consumption since the documentary’s release. His global streaming numbers surged by a staggering 63.9%, with hits like "Wake Me Up," "Hey Brother" and "The Nights" experiencing the most significant growth, according to Billboard.
Remarkably, Avicii currently reaches over 41 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making him the platform's 83rd most-streamed artist at the time of this writing.

Motorcycle Crash In Thailand Inspires Beltran's New Track, "Banyan Tree"

When life hits you with a reality so bizarre it feels like fiction, some artists pick up a pen, but Beltran picked up a synthesizer.
The Brazilian DJ and producer recently turned a near-fatal experience in Thailand into a sonic journey of its own. He's now opened up about the unnerving story behind his new track, "Banyan Tree (Thai Mix)."
It all began with a motorcycle crash in Phuket that left Beltran hospitalized with broken bones, stitches and, as he humorously recalls, stolen flip-flops. The ordeal reached its fever pitch when he found himself in a chaotic taxi ride back to his hotel—barefoot and shaken, yet somehow inspired.
"The story was so insane I had to do a track of it," Beltran said in an Instagram post. 
View the original article to see embedded media.
With a vocoded voice delivering the lyrics, the track plunges listeners into an arrangement where pumping percussion collides with acid-tinged basslines and industrial soundscapes. The synths, plotting and deliberate, seem to reflect the chaos of his journey as if asking, "Is this really happening?"

WIN WIN returns with first tech-house delivery of the year, ‘K’

WIN has returned with his first sonic offering of the new year. After putting up a towering nine singles in 2024—and having already gained prior DJ support from the likes of Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Chris Lake, and many more—the Norwegian talent is now looking to surpass what can only be described as his most impressive year to date, delivering “K” via This Ain’t Bristol.
A single listen of “K” ensures that the latest delivery from the WIN WIN Situation founder has all the tools to become a quintessential weapon as the calendar gradually inches closer to festival season, with an earworm vocal layered over a backdrop of crisp tech-house. And WIN WIN already teased that “K” will be the first of many releases in 2025. Stream his first release of the year below.

Pete Tong Confirms More Anyma Sphere Shows

We’ve been bamboozled, in the best way possible. After an incredible, history-making residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Anyma may be returning to “End of Genesys” even sooner than we anticipated! The news, or leak, came at the hands of none other than BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong. Anyma sat for a lengthy interview (listen in full at the link) about his new single and about much more.
The interview touched on how ‘Hypnotized’ was made from beginning to end, explaining that Goulding started the process by sending over the acapella which Anyma loved. An interesting segway talked about Anyma’s debut show at Printworks in 2022. Matteo explained that during that show about 80% of the planned visual production failed to work, but the audience’s overwhelmingly positive reaction to the 20% was enough to guide the project forward. The artist then explains that contrary to most artists, he plans the music and the visuals together as one cohesive whole.
Residency Extension
The surprise announcement happened during Tong’s Radio 1 HQ Show the week of January 11th, when the host mentioned Anyma’s historic residency in Las Vegas. Before Tong plays the chosen tune of the week ‘Hypnotized’ featuring Ellie Goulding, he includes her appearance as a special guest for “End of Genesys”. He carries on, acknowledging the massive success of the show. Furtherly, he confirms that due to the overwhelming success of the event, even though it ended that weekend, more shows will be added.
However
Pete Tong’s claims have neither been denied nor confirmed by official sources. Nevertheless, the speculations are as high as ever, as there have been rumors of Tale of Us potentially splitting up this year, as both Anyma and MRAK continuously work on their solo projects. The extension of this residency would prove once again that the Italian DJ and producer Anyma is in a league of its own when it comes to audiovisual events, which have captivated hundreds of thousands of listeners worldwide.
Las Vegas, continuously becoming an epicenter of EDM, has recently announced major residencies. The Wynn Hotel alone confirmed Odesza, Sofi Tukker, and Subtronics as major residencies for this summer. An End of Genesys Pt. II during the summer would heal the world. It would mean potentially new tracks and visuals, new guest live performers, and more robotic cellos! Although it’s really looking up for Anyma, we will closely monitor this developing news.
All in all, The Sphere revealed its next residency to be the Country act Kenny Chesney, starting in May. Past last year residencies included U2 and The Eagles. Anyma was the very first EDM artist to play there, and set the bar extremely high. Will he go for more? Stay tuned!

Anyma Breaks Silence in BBC Radio 1 Interview

Anyma, the creative vision and revolutionary electronic music concept from Tale Of Us’ Matteo Milleri, revealed hitherto unheard-of insights in a ground-breaking exclusive conversation with Danny Howard of BBC Radio 1 (listen to the full interview). Breaking his radio-quiet, the discussion coincided with the release of “Hypnotized,” his joint project with Ellie Goulding and Radio 1’s first Hottest Record of 2025.
He got Hypnotized by Ellie Goulding
The interview unearthed interesting specifics about Anyma’s working style, especially concerning the production of “Hypnotized.” Goulding started the process by sending a cappella and chord progression that connected with Anyma right away. The song came from a natural conversation. Though he finished the first version fast, the producer clarified that the track went through several changes over six months in search of the ideal moment to fit his creative direction.
At Printworks almost everything didn’t work
Perhaps most revealing was Anyma’s candid discussion about his debut show at London’s Printworks in 2022. In a surprising admission, he disclosed that approximately 80% of the planned visual production, including a sophisticated motion capture system, failed during the performance. However, this technical setback became pivotal in Anyma’s journey, as the audience’s response to the few working elements helped shape the project’s future direction.
From music to the visuals
The discussion dug right down into Anyma’s original method of audio-visual synthesis. Unlike conventional electronic music events where graphics are often commissioned independently, Anyma talks of his process as a cohesive canvas where sound and images are conceptualized simultaneously.
Designed in close association with visual artist Alessio Del Vecchi, this combined approach has produced a new electronic music performance format where neither part takes the front stage over the other.
The Sphere
Thanks to this visionary idea, Anyma became the first electronic musician to perform at the ground-breaking arena, Las Vegas’ Sphere. Six months of rigorous effort were needed the preparation for these events.
Collaborations
The singer also spoke on his partnerships with UK musicians such as Camelphat and the upcoming talent Massano. Working with Camelphat, especially on “The Sign,” shows what he believes to be one of his best works since they both commit themselves to producing emotionally charged electronic music.
The state of the dance music and what will come next
In a provocative speech, Anyma discussed the situation of dance music today and urged more creativity and risk-taking—especially among up-and-coming musicians.
He underlined the need to transcend accepted limits and admitted that improving one’s trademark sound still has great value.
“It’s not just what you hear, it’s also what you see. And then they can inspire each other,” he says, distilling the idea that has made Anyma among the most intriguing creators in electronic music. Anyma leads the visual and auditory future of the genre as it develops, demonstrating that dance music’s inventiveness is unbounded.

Neon Countdown 2024: A Vibrant New Year’s Celebration in Bangkok

As the final hours of 2024 ticked away, Neon Countdown brought thousands of music lovers together to welcome the New Year at Wonder World Extreme Park in Bangkok. This year’s festival didn’t just deliver on music, it also showcased thoughtful design upgrades, enhanced stage experiences, and a sense of community that made it a meaningful way to transition into 2025.
The Lineup: A Diverse Soundtrack for All Tastes
The festival lineup offered a carefully curated mix of global icons and rising stars, ensuring there was a rhythm for everyone. Martin Garrix, closing the main stage on New Year’s Eve, delivered a set that perfectly matched the energy of the occasion. Known for his ability to connect with the crowd, Garrix kept everyone engaged with both classic hits like Animals and newer tracks that had the audience moving in sync.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike leaned into their crowd-focused style, leading the audience in chants and singalongs that turned their set into a participatory event. Indira Paganotto, performing on the main stage, brought her unique blend of hypnotic techno and pulsating beats, captivating the crowd with a performance that felt deeply immersive. Her presence on the main stage was a refreshing addition, offering a different energy that complemented the festival’s broader soundscape.
Meanwhile, the Neon Jungle Deck Stage created a distinct vibe with performances by Dimarik, Goodoys, and 39 Kingdom. These acts brought a mix of tropical beats, groovy house, and progressive tracks that resonated with the theme of the stage’s lush, jungle-inspired design. Their sets provided a perfect soundtrack for those seeking a more laid-back yet equally engaging musical journey.

Neon Jungle: Bigger, Bolder, More Immersive
The Neon Jungle Stage, now referred to as the Jungle Deck, was a centerpiece of this year’s enhancements. The design embraced a theme of “tropical neon,” blending lush greenery with bold, glowing accents. Palm trees with illuminated trunks framed the stage, while oversized LED panels displayed animated visuals that pulsed with the beat of the music.
This year, the stage’s increased size created more space for both performers and the audience, allowing for intricate light shows and pyrotechnics that added depth to each performance. The tropical theme extended to the surrounding area, where festival-goers could wander through paths lined with neon flora, creating an atmosphere that felt both vibrant and inviting.

Half-Clock Photo Spot: A Symbolic Transformation
One of the most talked-about features of Neon Countdown 2024 was the redesigned photo spot. Previously a simple neon cube, this year the structure was transformed into a striking half-clock design. The semi-circular shape represented the countdown to the New Year, with glowing numerals and hands frozen at midnight to mark the transition into 2025.
This redesign wasn’t just a visual change—it added meaning to a beloved feature of the festival. The photo spot became a symbol of anticipation and celebration, with its reflective surface and dynamic lighting providing the perfect backdrop for memories. Throughout the festival, it remained one of the busiest and most photographed areas, a testament to its thoughtful design.
Beyond Music: Community and Discovery
Interactive zones encouraged exploration. The Glow Path, a winding trail of light installations, led attendees through lesser-traveled parts of the festival, offering moments of quiet wonder. Art installations dotted the grounds, blending traditional Thai motifs with modern neon aesthetics to create a unique cultural fusion.
Even the festival’s layout reflected its focus on community. The downtown area of NEON served as the heart of its F&B scene, offering a vibrant hub for food lovers to gather, sample diverse cuisines, and connect over shared meals. With open seating areas and cozy spots for conversation, it created an inviting space where attendees could take a break from the music and enjoy a more social and relaxed atmosphere. Neon Countdown felt less like a massive event and more like a gathering of like-minded individuals coming together to celebrate and share experiences.
The Countdown: A Shared Moment of Joy
As midnight approached, the main stage became the focal point of the festival. Thousands of attendees gathered in front of the towering LED screens, their excitement building with each passing minute. The crowd’s energy was palpable as the countdown began, with voices joining together in unison for the final ten seconds. When the clock struck twelve, a burst of fireworks illuminated the sky, followed by a confetti shower that enveloped the crowd.
This moment of collective celebration was the highlight of the night. Strangers hugged, friends cheered, and the music surged forward, carrying the crowd into the first hours of 2025 with a renewed sense of optimism.

Reflecting on Neon Countdown 2024
Neon Countdown 2024 wasn’t just another festival; it was an experience that combined world-class music, thoughtful design, and a welcoming atmosphere. The half-clock photo spot, the expanded Neon Jungle stage, and the attention to detail in every corner of the festival grounds spoke to the organizers’ commitment to creating something memorable.
As I left the festival grounds in the early hours of January 1st, surrounded by a sea of smiling faces, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. Neon Countdown was a reminder of why we come together to celebrate, the music, the connection, and the hope that a new year brings.

TikTok Ban Lasts 1 Day After President Trumps Intervenes

TikTok restored services Sunday to the U.S. after blocking it the evening before TikTok said its video platform was coming back online after President-elect Donald Trump provided the necessary assurances to the company’s service providers. TikTok stated this in a post on X:
Just hours before TikTok blocked service to Americans, Trump posted to Truth Social calling for it to remain available. Trump indicated that he wanted it to be available to broadcast his inauguration on Monday. TikTok welcomed users back with the message “Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.”
The app is still unavailable for download from Apple’s and Google’s app stores. The law banning TikTok, which was scheduled to go into effect Sunday, allows the president to grant a 90-day extension before the ban is enforced, provided certain criteria are met. Trump has proposed a joint venture for TikTok, with the U.S. owning 50%, but even that idea faces a potential hurdle.
TikTok’s future in the U.S. still loops up in the air.

W&W Turn Viral "Spinning Cat" Meme Into Psytrance Anthem With a Cause

The codependency between social media and music has never been stronger, but W&W have taken it a step further with their new meme-inspired psytrance track, "OIIA OIIA (Spinning Cat)."
The duo's edit went nearly as viral as the original "Spinning Cat" clip, as a video of them debuting it at their New Years performance garnered over 85 million views. To top it off, they dubbed the performance "Cat Rave."
The energetic beat created by W&W seems to perfectly mirror the absurd and playful energy of the meme, which derives from a blind Ohio cat named Ethel. And though she doesn't know it, her video and its subsequent remix are funding her care.
W&W have pledged to donate a portion of the track's proceeds directly to Ethel as well as the Cat Welfare Association, the non-profit shelter that "gave her a second chance," according to a press release shared with EDM.com.

Set for August 2, 2025, at Malmö’s gorgeous Tallriken venue, this performance commemorates an incredible partnership between these two giants of electronic music.
The unveiling of this unique B2B set is especially important since it marks a rare combined performance between two musicians, each renowned for their different but complementary approaches.

Storytelling From Above: David Carreno Shares What It Takes to Pilot Drones at EDM Shows

In the heart-pounding world of electronic dance music, there's an unsung hero navigating the skies: the drone pilot.
This high-stakes art form is not just about flying—it's storytelling from above. They are tasked with the difficult job of not only blocking out the sensory overload below, but also enhancing it to transform each show into a multi-dimensional experience for fans.
At the controls, drone pilots like David Carreno navigate a world where every second counts. As the founder of Destination Reset Productions, he maneuvers his FPV (first-person view) drone through the chaos of flailing limbs, intricate lighting rigs and expensive stage equipment at EDM shows.
Every moment for Carreno requires split-second decisions and demands extremely sharp focus, as any hesitation could lead to a crash or a missed moment. It's akin to conducting an orchestra, where the drone is both instrument and maestro.
Patience is key—one wrong move and the night's magic could be grounded. Confidence, too, is non-negotiable. A scintilla of doubt could send the drone hurtling into a crowd of thousands.
David Carreno editing drone footage in front of Zedd at the DJ's "Zedd in The Park" event at Los Angeles State Historic Park on September 7th, 2024.c/o Destination Reset Productions
Next up for Carreno is a March 21st gig at San Francisco's famed Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, where he'll capture FPV drone footage of Gareth Emery's "LSR/CITY: Cyberpunk" production, which the trance music icon called his "biggest tour yet." The eye-popping show blitzes audiences with 110 different polychromatic lasers, an immense challenge for Carreno since lasers tend to burn camera sensors, he tells EDM.com.
He'll then head to Colorado April 12th for an unforgettable flying experience at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he'll be manning the controls for dubstep star Wooli's first-ever headlining show at the open-air venue.
We caught up with Carreno to peer through the looking glass of his drone transmitter and share his expertise for aspiring pilots. Read on to discover his tips and insights in his own words.
Be disciplined in your craft
A lot of things can go wrong and it can result in someone getting seriously injured. So be consistent on your equipment inspections, adhere to laws and regulations, and practice and prepare for all scenarios. Artists and festivals hire you not only for your creative work, but the assurance that everything will go right, every time.
Confidence and patience equals portfolio
From learning to fly to mastering aerial cinematography and photography, it takes time! You want to deliver fire content, and being confident in flying over 1,000 to 500,000 people plays a huge role, especially at night.
So appreciate the time on the simulator, know your equipment inside and out, and practice flying in all environments.
Invest in quality gear
You definitely don't want your drone falling from the sky due to cheap equipment. You also want to have a smooth and exciting flying experience.
What fun is there if you're always uncomfortable with a cheap neck strap or your drone doesn't respond? Invest in basic necessities, and premium gear can come later.
Be prepared to be an engineer
At some point you might be building your own drones and programming them with specialized softwares. In FPV context, you would fly sub-250g drones at festivals and concerts. And sometimes that means tweaking with soldering and wiring parts in order to comply with regulations.
Involve artists and management
Believe me when I say this: artists and their management actually like it when you involve them in your setup process and during flights. Being the drone person is cool, but having them see you decked out with gear is cooler to them.
I would have external monitors so they can see what I'm seeing, and so I can explain to them what each piece of equipment does. It leaves a great impression and makes you stand out.
Practice communication
Flying drones at festivals is your first job. Your second is communicating your every move to operations by headset.
Initially it's challenging to achieve total focus on drone operations while having to communicate with the crew, so it's worth practicing with a person. It will come in handy when you're out in the festival grounds.
Stay on top of drone innovations and creators
Both safety and camera/drone technology are always being updated with new products and software. You should always be improving the safety of your flight operations and learning techniques from other creators. Most of my equipment and flight style has just been watching other drone pilots.
