Kevin Parker Debuts New Tame Impala Track During Barcelona DJ Set

Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker gave clubbers a surprise while DJing at Barcelona’s famous Nitsa Club on Saturday, as he debuted a song from what is believed to be the group’s first new album in five years.
Footage shared on social media shows the psychedelic rock visionary pausing his set to ask the crowd: “You want to hear a new Tame Impala song? You’re going to be the first ones to hear it, you realize? There’s no going back from this point on.”
With full, thumping kick drums, hazy, atmospheric synths, and groovy bass chords indebted to deep house, the as-yet-unnamed track diverges from Parker’s famously guitar-led Tame Impala sound in favor of a more beat-minded ethos, in line with his recent work on Dua Lipa’s rave-influenced 2024 album, Radical Optimism, and with Justice on a pair of singles from their 2024 album, Hyperdrama—including the Grammy-winning track “Neverender.”
Lyrically, the song seems to be about an ending relationship. Parker sings: “Everybody knows how I feel about you / So you can act surprised if you need to / I am still your friend if you think it’s worth it /  It just means that I’ll see you when you see you.”
The band is also set to announce a major in the coming weeks, according to a report from SPIN.
Tame Impala hasn’t performed live since March 2023. Parker’s last album as Tame Impala, The Slow Rush, arrived in February 2020 and featured hits such as “Borderline” and “Is It True.”
Watch Kevin Parker debut his latest Tame Impala track at Nitsa Club in the post below.

Grande Communications Doubles Down on Repeat-Piracy Questions in Supreme Court Filing: “What Exactly Is ‘Egregious’ Infringement?”

Grande Communications is doubling down on questions about ISP liability for subscribers’ repeat infringement. Photo Credit: Ian Hutchinson
Should ISPs be liable for contributory damages if they provide service to repeat infringers? And are they compelled to terminate an account if it’s the subject of two related notices? Grande Communications is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on the multibillion-dollar questions.
Technically, Grande submitted its cert petition back in March, and the major labels responded in May. But the Princeton-headquartered internet company recently replied to the music-industry plaintiffs’ retort, and the overarching courtroom confrontation has been dragging on for years.
We’re now coming up on the third anniversary of an almost $47 million jury judgement against Grande, which allegedly failed to muster an adequate response to repeat infringement. In this particular case – one of many similar actions levied by the majors against ISPs – that refers to alleged infringement attributable to roughly 15,000 customers.
As emphasized by Grande in its newest Supreme Court filing, “repeat infringement” can mean just two related notices per relevant subscriber. Of the mentioned customers, “[o]ver one-third had fewer than five notices,” per the company, while “multiple works in suit involved users with only two notices.”
Consequently, at least as the ISP sees things, there’s a lack of legal guidance for handling repeat infringers – especially when deciding whether infringement is “egregious” and grounds for terminating accounts outright.
“Aside from being divorced from reality,” Grande wrote, “respondents’ new theory is also half-baked. What exactly is ‘egregious’ infringement? Respondents never say. If not two notices, where is the threshold? Maybe 10 notices? 20? 50? 500? Respondents never even try to define where their line exists. And the reason for that failure is obvious: any number above two is inherently arbitrary.”
Following the point to its logical conclusion, if the threshold for liability “is that ISPs are aware of specific users engaged in specific infringement…then any notice should suffice,” Grande indicated.
“Respondents may not like where that answer takes them— because, absurdly, it indeed demands termination for ‘two alleged infractions,’” the ISP spelled out.
In the bigger picture, this would have far-reaching implications when it comes to internet access in the States, Grande went ahead and drove home.
“And it sets the ground rules nationwide for how ISPs must operate—and whether individuals, families, schools, businesses, and institutions will lose access to the modern online world (despite often doing nothing wrong),” the internet provider summed up.
Time will tell whether the Supreme Court opts to hear the case – though it’s worth reiterating that Grande isn’t the only ISP seeking input from the nation’s highest court.
According to the docket, the Grande petition had in late May been formally submitted for the justices’ consideration during a June 12th conference. However, June 6th brought a single-word “Rescheduled” update, the same source shows.

Best wired headphones under $500 in 2025: Our picks for mixing, recording and more

Whether you’re mixing in your home studio, recording in a professional space or making beats on the go, having a reliable pair of headphones to work on is vital. But – ‘closed-back?’ ‘Impedance?’ What do these terms mean, and how should they factor into your decision when searching for the perfect pair?
Open-back vs. closed-back
When picking a set of headphones, you’ll want to decide whether to opt for closed or open-back.
Largely considered to be ideal for mixing, open-back headphones allow air to pass through the ear cups to the driver. Because pressure doesn’t build up, this tends to create a more natural and spacious sound.
Closed-back headphones, on the other hand, offer better isolation. This makes them ideal if you’re recording or if you’re an engineer working in a live environment. They also have their place in mixing – particularly if you find yourself working in a noisy environment.
Impedance
In a nutshell, the higher the impedance on a set of headphones, the more power you need to make the drivers move and project audio. Consumer-grade audio gear, like your phone, offers weak amplification and so tends to work better with low-impedance headphones.
So, if they’re harder to drive, why on earth would you want a high-impedance set of headphones? Well, for one thing, they won’t blow out when you plug into something with more power – which includes a fair amount of pro-audio equipment.
The best all-purpose headphones at a glance:
RØDE NTH-100 Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X Austrian Audio Hi-X65 Sony MDR-M1 Audeze MM-100 AIAIAI TMA-2 ADAM Audio H200 Sennheiser HD600 Our top pick: RØDE NTH-100

[products ids=”75Bm4BrBuuJOCYoshARtlt”]
RØDE is best known for its line of respected, affordable microphones, but scored a flawless 10/10 in our review with its first pair of studio headphones, the closed-back NTH-100. Our reviewer, John Pickford, found no negatives, instead commenting on the full range and a transparent sound that doesn’t shy away from crucial mid-range detail like many headphones do. CoolTech-laden memory foam ensures max comfort, while the competitive price tag is another definite plus.
In our review, we said: “RØDE means business here. The beautifully contoured looks and fantastic functionality are only half the story… The NTH-100’s sonic abilities are nothing short of breathtaking.”
Price: $149 Type: closed-back Impedance: 32 Ohms Frequency range: 5Hz – 35kHz Loved by the industry: Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro X

[products ids=”197g2De6ZETpHAFTGI7J8N”]
The closed-back D T770 Pro Xs from Beyerdynamic have been a reliable studio staple for many years, and for good reason. They offer decent isolation when tracking, their frequency response is not scooped or boomy like many closed-back competitors, and they’re comfortable and extremely reasonably priced. We’ve seen a pair of these in a ton of recording studios over the years, from lavish gear-laden spaces to barebones bedroom setups.
In our recent 9/10 review of the DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition, we said that “At this price, they have always been, and remain, a very easy recommendation and something of a steal.”
Pair these with Sonarworks’ SoundID Reference for Headphones, and you have a killer, articulate and calibrated monitoring set-up that sounds many times more expensive than the total spend.
Price: $199/£169 Type: Closed-back Impedance: 48 Ohms Frequency range: 5Hz – 40kHz Most comfortable: Austrian Audio Hi-X65

[products ids=”5bR3JlBtcVTEC9sM3z0OkR”]
These open-back headphones from the ex-AKG team at Austrian Audio impress with their pinpoint clarity, accurate stereo field and articulate low-end. They immerse you within the music, revealing every important detail in a mix, master or influential commercial reference track. Their brightness takes some getting used to, but we find our personal headphones sound dull when swapping back to them.
These are among the most comfortable headphones we’ve ever tested, so much so that you tend to forget they’re even on your head. What’s more, all the memory foam ear cups and headband parts are user-replaceable, so you can tend anything worn or grubby after intensive use.
Price: $399/£269 Type: open-back Impedance: 24 Ohms Frequency range: 5Hz – 28kHz Everyday pair: Sony MDR-M1
[products ids=”3UUAnJVAKoqWOj4p5ceB3U”]
A more affordable version of the beloved MDR-MV1 headphones, Sony’s wired reference cans cost around half as much while offering performance that’s pretty close in everyday listening scenarios. In our review, we praised the headphones’ neutral, clean and open sound, crazy wide frequency response and comfort when wearing for long listening sessions.
Being closed back in design, they boast minimal sound leaking, which is helpful for studio and recording use. Meanwhile, their precise drivers reveal deficiencies in imperfect mixes and masters, allowing you to improve your tracks. As well as being great to mix and master on, they are also very suitable for everyday studio use and general listening, presenting a balanced and uncoloured soundstage to give you a true picture of what’s going on in your audio.
Price: $248/£211 Type: Closed-back Impedance: 50 Ohms Frequency range: 5Hz – 80kHz Find out more at Thomann.
Affordable planar magnetic: Audeze MM-100
[products ids=”4U8IPDCHdlDKrhSEWaiq8j”]
Want a taste of premium-grade headphones at a fraction of the price? High-end headphone designer Audeze blew us away with its MM-100 open-backed planar magnetic headphones when we reviewed them recently. Priced at just £399 — an absolute steal for a pair from this company — we loved their premium fit and finish and praised the low impedance that makes them suitable for use with all kinds of hardware.
The 90mm transducers “offer great transient detail and rich low-end without the onset of distortion that could detract from critical details in the mix”, and while we found it necessary to tame the gritty high mids a little with external EQ, with a modicum of attention, the overall reproduction from these headphones is superb, and definitely warrants your attention even for mixing and mastering where precision is required.
Price: £399/$399 Type: Open-back Impedance: 18 Ohms Frequency range: 20Hz – 25kHz Best for DJ-producers: AIAIAI TMA-2
[products ids=”4XkalKxGqMaPL8P3J8GPcn”]
AIAIAI invites you to build your own pair of headphones with the TMA-2 modular set. You can also replace parts of the headphones, including the speaker unit, headband, earpad and cable. This is fantastic news both your wallet and the planet, because you’re not forking out to replace or upgrade your headphones every few years.
There are multiple variations of the TMA-2 headphones with interchangeable parts suited for different needs. For example, the TMA-2 Studio models have highly detailed audio and lush comfort, while the DJ model focuses on providing punchy bass frequencies. Then, you can switch between a variety of punchy or detailed speaker diaphragms, on-ear or over-ear cushions, lightweight or padded headbands and cables dependent on length and style, coiled or straight.
These are excellent for artists who want one pair of reliable headphones for DJing and producing.
Studio: $230/£169 DJ: $200/£159 Type: Closed-back Impedance: 32 OHMs Frequency range: 10Hz to 40kHz Great value: ADAM Audio H200
[products ids=”pZPvFSOExuWjyipj8pJ4N”]
A snip at around $150, when we reviewed ADAM Audio’s H200 headphones, we were suitably impressed by their amazingly accurate natural sound right out of the box, effective isolation for use when tracking, a companion plugin and a flexible, detachable cable. At the low end, they can reproduce sounds at a frankly crazy 2Hz, while the top end isn’t quite so extreme, topping out at 23.5kHz. Nonetheless, you will be impressed by their musicality, too.
Replaceable components mean they can be repaired rather than left for dead if they should happen to suffer damage from the rigours of studio use. Meanwhile, the DAW plugin lets you optimise and set up your headphones to better reproduce the effect of loudspeaker mixes when working on headphones. They also experience very low levels of distortion while being able to handle fairly high sound pressure levels. These are a worthy addition to any studio.
Price: $160/£140 Type: Closed-back Impedance: 32 Ohms Frequency range: 2Hz – 23.5kHz Superb all-rounders: Sennheiser HD600

[products ids=”mm78dazR19Q9CNVAYqlsU”]
Deemed indispensable by a plethora of engineers, including Abbey Road’s Paul Pritchard, the Sennheiser HD600s are superb all-rounders that offer a natural and spacious sound, thanks to their open-back design. These headphones make use of what Sennheiser terms computer-optimised magnet systems to reduce distortion and deliver a more transparent sound.
Compared to their siblings, the HD650s, which add a small bass and mid-bass boost, these offer a flatter frequency response curve and are ideal for mixing and critical listening.

Lincoln Jesser Releases “Time To Heal,” a 528hz Single Sharing A Healing House Vision

Lincoln Jesser has released “Time To Heal,” a new single that reflects the core of his emerging genre, Healing House. Tuned to 528hz, the track is built to support both physical movement and emotional reset, combining dancefloor structure with intentional, meditative sound design. Inspired by high points in Jesser’s recent national live performances, “Time To Heal” brings together steady rhythmic flow with subtle melodic layers that encourage reflection and calm.
This release plays a central role in Jesser’s larger vision for Healing House — a developing genre that blends frequency healing, ancient sound techniques, and energy-based practices with contemporary electronic production. The approach draws from sources including mantras, sound healing, pranayama breathwork, and wellness methodologies, integrating them into a dance music format that is accessible and uplifting. Jesser’s work in this space is currently guided by Grammy-winning sound healer Jonathan Goldman, whose influence supports both the technical and intentional aspects of the music.
Promotion around “Time To Heal” includes slow-motion performance visuals, educational content explaining the significance of the 528hz tuning, and creative collaborations with wellness influencers. Visuals and content across platforms follow a consistent “rise again” theme — reinforcing the song’s focus on self-restoration and inner alignment.
Jesser’s Healing House movement is framed as a 5D musical experience, designed to support what he describes as a “collective ascension to higher consciousness.” His artist messaging frequently references concepts of love, intention, and sacred vibration, connecting ancient healing practices with modern electronic culture.
The release arrives ahead of several live appearances scheduled throughout the summer, including High Vibe Fest (June 7 in CA), Paradhis (July 5 in the UK), Corfu Summer Festival (July 7 in Greece), Deep Tropics (August 15 in TN), and Imagine Gathering (September 6 in WA).

BRN Turns Heads with Sultry, Sophisticated Tech House Cut “Mini Skirt”

Brazilian DJ/producer BRN steps into the spotlight once again with “Mini Skirt,” a stylish and stripped-back tech house groove out now on Terminal Underground.
Blending a classic house undercurrent with modern production clarity, “Mini Skirt” is tailor-made for DJs who value the art of the slow burn. A soulful topline adds character, while the bassline delivers a deep, warm pulse that moves effortlessly through the mix. It’s smart, subtle, and knows exactly when to hold back.
Already supported by names like Fisher, Matroda, Chris Lake, Tiësto, and John Summit, BRN’s momentum is undeniable. With past hits like “FREAK OUT” and “Mommy”, he’s delivering crowd-tested weapons that keep things ruthless, again and again.
Following releases on Catch & Release, Box of Cats, and Virgin Music, “Mini Skirt” marks another moment for the Santa Catarina native—refining his sound and continuing to go full throttle with his tech-house / afro house-driven identity he’s known for.
Whether it’s late-night warehouse sets or packed open-air clubs like El Fortin or Field Club, BRN has proven time and again that less can be more.

ACCIO Summons Deep Emotion on Whispery Progressive Cut “Like A Ghost”

ACCIO moves in a new direction with “Like A Ghost,” out now. The single blends progressive house influences with soft, cinematic elements, landing as a focused, mood-driven release that shows off the depth behind his recent rebrand.
Launched in late 2024 after producing under the name Chris Costello, the ACCIO project reflects a shift toward more thoughtful, emotionally resonant music. With over 200,000 career streams and a background as a classically trained pianist and Icon Collective graduate, ACCIO brings a strong foundation into this new chapter.
“Like A Ghost” begins with a quiet piano motif, building into layered synth pads and subtle percussion. The vocal line stays central throughout, carrying a tone of restraint and clarity. As the track progresses, soft swells and filtered leads guide it into a well-controlled drop—anchored by a warm, steady bassline that gives the track a grounded, club-ready feel without going over the top.
The single follows previous releases like “Let’s Get Lost Tonight,” “I’ll Guide You,” and “For You My Love”—all of which have helped define ACCIO’s new sound: clean, emotional, and deliberately paced.
With “Like A Ghost,” ACCIO shows he’s not aiming for oversized moments, but rather for lasting impact. It’s a track designed for both late-night sets and personal listening, reinforcing his commitment to subtle, high-quality production with an immersive message within.

Marshmello, Ellie Goulding and AVAION Set Hearts Racing With New Single, "Save My Love"

Blurring the line between vulnerability and dancefloor ecstasy, Marshmello, Ellie Goulding and AVAION have joined forces for a new single, "Save My Love," 
Out now via Interscope, the track explores emotional purgatory with both lift and longing. From its opening breath, "Save My Love" rests on the instantly recognizable vocal clarity of Goulding, whose harmonies glide with the kind of delicate ache that has earned her a well-deserved place among dance music royalty.
Beneath her typically stunning vocals, Mello and AVAION construct a pop-house arrangement that's equal parts romantic and rhythmic. A winding lead synth coils around muted chords, teasing out tension without ever breaking the groove. There’s a cool aura of sophistication, carried not only by the sleek production, but also by Goulding's ethereal delivery.
"Save My Love" arrives at a pivotal moment for Marshmello, who’s been steadily pivoting back toward his dance music roots in 2025 while relaunching his Joytime Collective imprint. He's also prepping for a major tour with the Jonas Brothers later this year.

DJ Snake Debuts Emotional Music Video of ‘Patience’

Global music icon DJ Snake has unveiled the music video for ‘Patience’, a deeply personal project that reimagines Amadou & Mariam‘s celebrated 2008 song, ‘Sabali’. This title holds powerful significance, as ‘Sabali’ embodies both “patience” and “immortality” in the Bambara language. The video delivers compelling storytelling, shining a light on the realities of migration and offering a sensitive, humanizing portrayal of those compelled to leave their homeland in search of a brighter future.
The music video of ‘Patience’ features the fantastic collaboration between DJ Snake, Amadou & Mariam, and Omar Sy
Filmed in the breathtaking landscapes of Senegal and enriched by stunning cinematography from Valentin Guiod, the music video, which comes in the form of a memorable short film, invites viewers to experience the emotional journey of its main character, connecting with the struggles of migration through a compassionate lens. DJ Snake, born in Paris to Algerian immigrant parents, shares a profound personal connection to this theme, and French actor Omar Sy instantly resonated with the project when asked to join.
Furthermore, the music video features special appearances by acclaimed French actor Omar Sy, whose parents are West African immigrants, and the legendary Malian duo Amadou & Mariam—the original artists behind ‘Sabali’. They felt so inspired by DJ Snake’s reimagining that they eagerly participated in the music video. The timing of its release, just weeks after Amadou’s passing, adds a deeply poignant tribute to their legacy. To watch this unforgettable music video, click on this link to let the musical rhytms flow in mesmering fashion. Additionally, click ‘Play’ on the Spotify link to stream the track too.
DJ Snake discusses what led to the production of ‘Patience
“Each time, I try to explore new vibes, new inspirations, different parts of the world, and I had never really touched on West Africa. I thought of Omar [Sy], and I talked to Omar about it… And everything came together naturally. It took us almost a year and a half to get here today, in the suburbs of Dakar, Senegal. What’s funny is that ‘Sabali’ means patience.”
Omar Sy brings up the music video’s influences from the award-winning film, Tirailleurs
“He told me about the theme he wanted to explore, and at that moment, he also told me that he wanted to do it in Africa, in Senegal. Obviously, that resonated with me, and I could definitely help in that regard. So, that’s how we started.” As casting discussions progressed, DJ Snake envisioned a younger actor for the lead role, and after watching Tirailleurs, he was inspired by the performances. “He brought up the scene because he had seen Tirailleurs and thought it was a good idea. And as things unfolded, we thought, ‘Why not a little cameo as well?’ And here we are.”
The outstanding accolades that the music video
In addition to the stunning cinematography, he music video has garnered critical acclaim on the international festival circuit. It was selected for the Grand Angle section at Festival Côté Court (Césars qualifying), and winning Best Music Video and Best Cinematography at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival (BAFTA qualifying). It has also competed in esteemed selections at Bogoshorts, Indianapolis Indy Shorts, and Festival du Film Court de Villeurbanne, triumphing at the Berlin Music Video Awards and the 1.4 One Point Four Awards, where it received the Gold Award for Best Music Video – Long Form. At the Kinsale Shark Awards, the film claimed the Grand Prix along with honors for Best Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Electronic Music Video.
A message of humanitarian advocacy
Beyond its artistic significance, ‘Patience’ stands as a powerful message of advocacy. DJ Snake has partnered with SOS Méditerranée, an international maritime and humanitarian organization devoted to saving lives at sea. In fact, the organization established itself in 2015 in response to the humanitarian crisis in the Central Mediterranean, this NGO underscores the urgent issues explored in ‘Patience’. The music video features remarkable performances by Omar Sy, Massane Diong, Anna Thiandaoum, Amadou Mbow, Ibrahima Mbaye, and Amadou & Mariam. Written and directed by Valentin Guiod and produced by Birth, it showcases the unforgettable music of DJ Snake and Amadou & Mariam.

 Nicole Moudaber Debuts On ASOT With ‘ Soul Brothers’

Nicole Moudaber is bringing her energy to a new platform, a new crowd. Ladies and Gentlemen, Nicole Moudaber has officially made her debut on Armin Van Buuren’s respected label, A State of Trance, with her explosive new single ‘Soul Brothers’.

For those unfamiliar with the Techno Queen’s work, Nicole Moudaber is a name that commands respect in the electronic music scene. Known for her boundary-pushing sound and her electrifying performances, she has always been one to watch. Now, she has stepped into the spotlight of A State of Trance, a label that has stood tall in the electronic music industry for over two decades.
‘Soul Brothers’ is that high-energy techno track that promises an unforgettable experience. It’s a blend of rolling basslines, hypnotic beats, and a captivating rhythm that is quintessentially Moudaber. This track not only marks her debut on the label but also showcases her ability to adapt and thrive in new territories.
Dissecting the ‘Soul Brothers’ Experience
‘Soul Brothers’ is a track that plays to Moudaber’s strengths. It is raw, it is powerful, and it is unapologetically techno. The track starts off with a pulsating rhythm that sets the tone for what’s to come. As the track unfolds, the energy intensifies, and the listener is taken on a wild, exhilarating ride. This is not just music, it’s an experience, a journey.
Beyond the infectious beat and the hypnotic rhythm, ‘Soul Brothers’ stands out for its flawless production. The track is meticulously crafted, with each beat, each rhythm, each note serving a purpose. It’s a testament to Moudaber’s attention to detail and her understanding of what makes a track not just good, but great.
“This one means a lot to me – it’s my first ever release on ASOT. I knew this track had something special, so I sent it to Armin, and he was all in. I’ve done a few remixes for Armada before, but officially joining the ASOT family feels huge. This is for my dancefloor warriors – trance-infused techno with groove and a bit of soul.” – 
Nicole Moudaber
And then there’s the reaction. From the moment ‘Soul Brothers’ was released, it was clear that this was a track that resonated with listeners. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising the track’s energy, its rhythm, and its undeniable Moudaber vibe. It’s clear that ‘Soul Brothers’ has not only marked a successful debut for Moudaber on A State of Trance but also cemented her status as a force to be reckoned with in the electronic music scene.
What This Means for the Future
The track also underscores the evolution of the A State of Trance label. By welcoming Moudaber and her unique sound, the label is demonstrating its commitment to diversity and innovation. It’s a reminder that A State of Trance is not just a label, it’s a platform for artists to experiment, to explore, to challenge the status quo.
There’s no telling what the future holds for Nicole Moudaber and A State of Trance. But if ‘Soul Brothers’ is any indication, we can expect more boundary-pushing tracks, more unforgettable experiences, and more moments of pure, unadulterated techno bliss. Bring it on.

Inside the Process: LUCRE Breaks Down the Making of ‘Grind’

Continuing to build momentum with each new release, Producer and DJ LUCRE recently dropped his latest single, ‘Grind,’ once again highlighting his signature sound and putting forward his distinct Techno energy. With its dark, gritty edge, the track epitomises LUCRE’s approach; leaning on the raw, driving sounds that ground his sonic identity, it has no doubt come as a strong entry to his ever-growing catalogue.  
Now, we sit down with LUCRE to dive into the moments that shaped ‘Grind;’ from early studio sessions to the thinking behind its narrative, we gain an insight into his process and look ahead to his next steps as both an Artist and label head. 
Hi LUCRE! How’s it going?  
I am well, thanks for having me!  
Let’s start with the concept behind ‘Grind’ – what first sparked the idea for this track?  
My goal was to create a raw, driving Techno track that incorporated a distinctive spoken word element. I aimed for a dark, emotionally resonant atmosphere that felt both intense and unique. 
This track feels like a balance between raw power and emotional depth. Was that contrast something you aimed for from the start?  
Absolutely.  
The vocalist on ‘Grind’ is your wife, Claudia Fijal – what was the creative process like working with her on this track?  
This isn’t our first collaboration, so we’ve developed a strong creative workflow. I knew early on that the vocal would be a concise, spoken word piece. Once the foundation of the track was laid, we focused on finding a single, powerful word that would leave a lasting impact. 
How did the narrative around the relentless pursuit of success take shape in your mind while producing ‘Grind’?  
The relentless pursuit of success drives everything we do, whether it’s the music we create, the shows we perform, or the energy we bring to each project. This track is a sonic journey that embodies that forward momentum and hits with intensity. 
Was there a particular moment in the studio when you felt the track had really come together?  
Once the word “grind” was dropped in, it all just fit.  
The basslines and percussion hit hard – how did you approach crafting the low-end and rhythm section for this one?  
I designed this track to truly resonate on powerful sound systems, it’s an experience meant for the live setting, not just streaming. I put a strong emphasis on the kick and bassline, ensuring they were meticulously balanced and crafted to be the driving force of the track. 
Were there any new production techniques or tools you experimented with while working on ‘Grind’?  
I’ve never dedicated as much attention to the low end as I did on this track. 
You’ve released ‘Grind’ through your own label, Sound Market – can you share the vision behind this new creative endeavour and what’s next for the label?  
The reality is that most labels offer limited support unless they’re well-established. I’ve come to recognize the strength of my own ability to market and promote my music. Given my background in marketing and business, it makes sense to invest energy into building my own label. Not to say I won’t sign onto other labels, but every artist should have their own label to grow alongside them. Sound Market will eventually become a space for supporting and showcasing emerging underground talent. Stay tuned.  
Finally, what’s next in your release pipeline?  
I’ve got three new tracks lined up for release this summer, stay tuned and keep listening! 
As LUCRE continues to shape his path with intention and intensity, ‘Grind’ stands as a clear reflection of his evolving sound and committed mindset. With more releases on the way and his label, Sound Market, set to grow, it is clear that his focus remains firmly on pushing forward – both creatively and on his own terms. So, be sure to stay connected with LUCRE as his journey continues to unfold, keeping up with him via social media for updates on new releases, projects, and performances.

Now as the pair join forces, Angel City and Amy Wiles deliver a track that blends their styles with ease – pairing upbeat Trance energy with Angel City’s airy, emotive vocals for a sound that feels both fresh and nostalgic. 
With an atmospheric opening, built from expansive pads and the crisp, emotive vocals of Angel City, ‘Dream Away’ soon evolves, integrating bouncy basslines, shuffled percussive details, and a solid kick. As filtered textures couple with intensifying beats, uplifting melodic leads, and dynamic arpeggiators, the arrangement continues to unfold, developing into a strong foundation for Angel City’s expressive vocals to soar. With infectious hooks and layered harmonies, she keeps the experience compelling, steering the journey through high-impact choruses and tension-laced breakdowns. A track where Angel City’s vocals feel at home, supported by the driving instrumental soundscape, ‘Dream Away’ captures a modern yet familiar energy that reflects the unique approaches of both artists.

When creativity meets talent, the result is nothing short of pure magic. Imagine the multi-platinum artist and producer Marshmello, the multi-platinum singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding and the multi-instrumentalist and composer AVAION, all coming together for an epic collaboration. The result is a brand-new track that’s as infectious as it is invigorating, ‘Save My Love’.
The track was released today on Interscope Records, marking the first time these three renowned artists have come together for a project. With their unique styles and distinct sounds, this trio has managed to create a track that resonates with the audience and leaves them wanting more.

What makes ‘Save My Love’ even more remarkable is the story behind its creation. Ellie Goulding’s distinct and instantly recognizable vocals are a highlight of the track. Her voice, which Billboard recently called “one of dance music’s most important and enduring voices”, sets the tone for this delightful number.
But the credit for this track isn’t limited to just the vocals. Ellie and Marshmello co-wrote ‘Save My Love’ with a brilliant team comprising Jake Torrey, Riley McDonough, Connor McDonough, and Gray Hawken. Their collective creativity and passion for music have led to the birth of a track that’s as compelling as it is catchy.
And of course, the track wouldn’t be complete without the production expertise of Marshmello, TK, Connor McDonough, and AVAION. Their production skills have given “Save My Love” its unique vibe and infectious rhythm that make it stand out in the world of dance music.

The song was also nominated for ‘Song of the Summer’ at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.

IMS Dubai Returns to Spotlight on MENA Music in Second Edition

Following its landmark 2024 debut, Beatport Presents: International Music Summit (IMS) Dubai returns for a second edition this November 13–14, 2025, reigniting global interest in the MENA region’s fast-growing music industry.
The summit will once again unfold inside 25hours Hotel One Central, one of Dubai’s most progressive venues. IMS Dubai 2025 builds on its now-established four pillars—Music, Culture, Finance, and Technology—with two full days of keynote sessions, panels, networking, and nightly artist showcases. The program seeks not only to educate but to activate collaboration across borders and sounds.
After drawing heavyweights like Live Nation’s James Craven and CAA’s Maria May last year, IMS Dubai positioned itself as a serious crossroads between global leadership and local voices. The 2024 edition featured Billboard Arabia’s Maha ElNabawi, YouTube MENA’s Janet Ashak, and headlining performances by Deep Dish, Pete Tong, and rising regional stars Cosmicat and Saliah. With support from regional platforms and labels, the summit made clear its long-term vision: to bridge communities, nurture talent, and solidify Dubai’s role in the global music ecosystem.
Co-founded by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, IMS Dubai is an extension of a 16-year legacy first established in Ibiza. “It’s exciting to see how IMS Dubai has already become a vital touchpoint for the region,” Tong shared. “The energy, curiosity, and ideas we saw last year made it clear that this is a place that can provide lots of knowledge and value.”
IMS 2024 offered real outcomes—investor connections, label partnerships, and new career trajectories for breakout acts like Parvané Barret and Mo Ezabyy. Sessions led by initiatives like Little Pink Book brought essential focus to women in music, while panels on streaming, label development, and cultural tourism drew actionable takeaways for attendees.
Attend the Second Edition of IMS Dubai
Now, early bird badges for IMS Dubai 2025 are available for 650 AED (approx. $177 USD) here. It offers full access to two days of programming plus evening showcases running through November 16 at top Dubai venues. With last year’s summit selling out completely, organizers are urging early registration.
Dubai’s next IMS promises not just more scale but more significance—doubling down on community and creativity, and once again proving that the MENA region has something vital to say in the global music conversation.

Sharon Osbourne slams labels for “bastardising” artists’ music: “There is no development currently at record labels. They take everything”

Sharon Osbourne has slammed modern record labels and streaming platforms for “bastardising” the music of today’s artists.
With five decades in the business and a career managing her husband, metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon has seen the music industry evolve dramatically, and she’s less than impressed by where it’s ended up.
“There is no development currently at record labels,” the veteran manager proclaims in a new interview with Music Business UK. “They take everything.”
“Record labels developing (artists) doesn’t exist. A&R departments just go on the internet. That’s it,” Sharon says. “They’ll take your publishing, your merchandise and everything else, and all they do is press and distribute and stream you.”
READ MORE: “Labels have found a new way to put artists in a position where they seem to be making a lot of money, but they essentially own nothing”: Rick Beato and Anthony Fantano discuss the impact of Spotify and streaming Taking aim at the streaming economy, in particular, Osbourne continues, “Most of the record companies own the streaming anyway and all of this about, ‘Oh, I’ve got a billion streams, it’s amazing.’ Well, you’re getting less than a fucking penny for a stream. It’s absolutely bastardising an artist’s music.”
Which is why she urges artists, especially younger ones, to hold on to their publishing at all costs, explaining that giving it up too early can come back to haunt you financially.
“Never let your publishing go, until you get to the stage where you think you want to bail, and then you sell it all for a fortune. You look at where your songs could end up; you could get a couple of million each time your song is used in an advertisement.”
“Other people could cover your song and have a hit with a song that wasn’t a hit for you. It’s something which, now, I know a lot of artists, they go in, and they want deals, [and the] record companies want their publishing. It’s like, ‘Fuck you, no way.’”
Reflecting on how the role of the manager has changed over the years, Osbourne notes that true artist development – once a major part of management – is all but extinct.
“Managers in my day would support an artist so they didn’t have to support themselves, so they were able to write and hone their craft,” Sharon says. “You would literally put them in an apartment or a house, if it was a band, and you’d pay everything. You would invest your own money in an artist. That doesn’t happen today!”
She adds that performance skills, once honed through relentless gigging, have also taken a backseat in the age of social media where artists can gig “from their back garden” and “play to the dogs”.
“The years of trailing around the world, trying to break territories. It’s just instant now, which is fantastic for the artists,” she says, “but then you have to wait for the artist to develop their performance skills, because they didn’t have to tour and know how to work with an audience and all of that.”
“Even mic techniques, you get young kids today that don’t understand how to even work with a microphone. They just stand in front of it.”
Her sentiments echo those of other artists who’ve grown wary of the strategies of modern majors. Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows previously criticised modern record labels for offering little support for musicians beyond chasing online clout.
“When Avenged Sevenfold were on Warner Bros., they were trying to figure out how to create a viral TikTok moment,” he said. “What? I’m a fucking 42-year-old man, I’m not trying to figure out how to do a viral TikTok moment. I’m sorry. You’re going to take 24 cents on our dollar and that’s all you can do, come up with a fucking fake viral TikTok moment?”

ANiML Releases Star-Studded Star Walk The Remixes EP, Featuring Remixes by Seth Troxler, Mathew Jonson, & Galcher Lustwerk

Independent LA-based label StrataSonic Records continues its rise as a home for genre agnostic electronic music with the release of a potent new remix EP, out today, with a physical release to follow on June 20. The project reimagines key tracks from Star Walk, the debut mini-album by enigmatic producer ANiML, which originally dropped this past winter. Bringing fresh perspective to the material are three artists from distinct corners of the underground: Seth Troxler, Mathew Jonson, and Galcher Lustwerk.
Seth Troxler, the legendary Detroit-born DJ and producer known for his hallucinatory take on house and techno, turns “Breather” into a psychedelic club weapon, trading the original’s trip-hop haze for buzzing textures, glitchy bleeps, and thick low-end propulsion. Mathew Jonson—an architect of live hardware performance and cerebral minimal techno—transforms “Baby D” into a cinematic slow-burner, rich with spacious delay, crystalline percussion, and immersive groove. Galcher Lustwerk, the NYC-based producer celebrated for his smoked-out blend of deep house and hip-hop, reworks “Bruv” into a noir-funk head-nodder, chopping the bassline into something fresh and swinging, layered with his signature crisp, unhurried drum work.

While the remixes retain the exploratory nature of ANiML’s originals, they reframe them through the lens of three singular producers, resulting in a collection that invites both deep listening and dancefloor immersion.
The release also marks a key moment for StrataSonic, whose evolving catalog signals intentions as a label committed to electronic experimentation and high-concept presentation. StrataSonic operates as a creative hub for genre-fluid, forward-thinking music, pairing each project with original visual content and encouraging collaborations that cross artistic boundaries. As label president Jesse Rogg recently described in an interview, the label’s mission is to let each release “live in its own aesthetic world,” cultivating a space where sound, story, and visual identity are given equal weight.

Eminem files $109 million lawsuit against Meta for unauthorised use of his music

Eminem is suing Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, for allegedly using his songs without permission.
According to The Wrap, the lawsuit, filed 30 May by Eminem’s music publishing company Eight Mile Style, accuses the social media giant of distributing the rapper’s song without a valid license via its Reels Remix and Original Audio features.
Eight Mile Style is seeking statutory damages of up to $150,000 per track, per platform – a figure that could total as much as $109.35 million.
READ MORE: “It would basically kill the AI industry overnight”: Nick Clegg thinks asking artists for use permission is a bad thing The suit alleges that Eminem’s songs were made available in Meta’s “Music Libraries” and used in user-generated content via tools like Reels Remix and Original Audio. This resulted in the songs being used in millions of videos and streamed billions of times.
Court documents also state that Meta sought to obtain licenses through Audiam, Inc., a digital music royalty collection company, though Eight Mile Style claims it did not grant them.
In the suit, the rapper’s team accuses Meta of “rampant infringement” and “knowing infringement” of his compositions, alleging the company “encourag[ed] billions of users of its online services to do so, all willfully, and without a license.”
It also argues that Meta is fully aware it “does not enjoy and is not eligible for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s (‘DMCA’) safe harbor provisions.”
While Meta has removed some of the songs including the 2002 hit Lose Yourself following complaints, Eminem’s lawyers say that the company “continues to host unauthorised cover and instrumental versions.”
In addition to statutory damages, Eight Mile Style is also seeking actual damages and lost profits, along with a permanent injunction against any future unlicensed use of Eminem’s music. Mata, meanwhile, has requested for a jury trial.
The news arrives less than a year after Eight Mile Style lost a long-running copyright infringement case against Spotify. At the time, Eight Mile Style sought around $30 million [per MusicRadar] from Spotify, claiming the streaming giant had racked up billions of plays on Eminem’s songs without proper licensing rights.
In September, a Tennessee judge ruled that while Spotify did not have the proper license (as the publisher claimed), the streaming giant would not be liable to cover the unpaid royalty bill. Instead, Kobalt Music Group – which handles rights and collects royalties for artists – had to pay.

Ultra Europe Drops Stacked Second Phase Lineup

This July, Ultra is heading to Croatia for 3 days of electronic music heaven at the Park Mladezi in Split. The first phase of artists got the buzz going with Martin Garrix, Alesso, Afrojack, Tiesto, Hardwell, and more of the world’s best DJs being announced. As if it couldn’t get any better, Ultra Europe has now backed up that first phase of artists with a great selection of music legends.
Ultra is known for being able to attract the biggest talents in the world which is very much apparent from its lineups. The headliners announced in this second phase include Steve Angello, Sofi Tukker, MRAK, and Gryffin who beef up the already juicy assortment of artists on the roster. The support acts are hard to even call support acts as the star power on display is insane with MORTEN, Joel Corry, Maddix, Matroda, NGHTMRE, and MYKRIS taking their place on the lineup. This bombastic collective of world-renowned artists will be split across the Main Stage and the Resistance stage while be accompanied by the effervescent Ultra Angels.
Although it’s an offshoot from Ultra Miami, Ultra Europe is no mere imitation playing second fiddle to the festival it was born of. It maintains all the stature of Ultra Miami and brings its legacy across the pond into Croatia for even more of the world to witness.

Pendulum Announce First Album In 15 Years, ‘Inertia’

Rumours have been swirling since Pendulum wiped their socials a couple weeks ago launching fans into a frenzy wondering what this meant. After releasing their new single ‘Save The Cat’ they’ve now revealed that they’ve got a whole new album coming on August 22nd that it will feature on, ‘Inertia.’
Pendulum have been pumping out incredible songs for years, but you have to go back as far as 2010 to find their last album where you’ll discover the amazing ‘Immersion.’ It featured some of their greatest tracks including ‘Watercolour’, ‘Witchcraft’, and ‘The Island’ which put Pendulum on the map. However, with the wiping of their socials and the announcement of ‘Inertia’ it’s looking like they’re heading into a new era with a new sound.
From the tracks that have already been released you can still hear the essence of Pendulum, but they’ve dialled up the volume with a more aggressive sound. They dip into the realms of hardstyle with tracks like ‘Save The Cat’ while in ‘Halo’ and ‘Napalm’ they heavily lean into metal while not losing their drum & bass roots. Their path towards a heavier sound is evident from the collaborations alone with the likes of Bullet For My Valentine, Wargasm, and Scarlxrd all appearing on the album.
The countdown has begun, and the bar has been set high with the songs we’ve got so far. After over 20 years of making music, Pendulum is still kicking hard right at the top of the drum & bass scene and ‘Inertia’ is looking to be another masterpiece from them.

Sony Music Publishing Reportedly Acquiring Hipgnosis Songs Group — Details Still Emerging

Sony Music Publishing is reportedly in the process of acquiring Hipgnosis Songs Group, according to sources close to the matter.
Emails obtained by Billboard and multiple sources close to the situation have confirmed that Sony Music Publishing is acquiring Hipgnosis Songs Group. According to the emails, the company “has entered into an agreement with Recognition Music Group (RMG) to acquire its subsidiary Hipgnosis Songs Group (HSG), effective immediately.”
The Hipgnosis catalog includes 4,400 copyrights originally held by Big Deal Music, acquired by Hipgnosis in 2020. The copyrights include songs by One Direction, Panic! At the Disco, and Shawn Mendes. Hipgnosis’ Instagram page also reveals their repertoire includes publishing shares of songs like “Espresso,” “Feather,” and “Taste” by Sabrina Carpenter; “Ordinary” by Alex Warren; “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims; and other contemporary hits.
“With this agreement, Sony Music Publishing now owns and administers the Hipgnosis Songs Group catalog, serving as the full-service publisher for its clients and roster of songwriters globally,” reads the email to Hipgnosis songwriters, composers, and clients.
“With a unique roster of contemporary songwriters and timeless classics, HSG aligns with SMP’s mission to elevate and support the work of the world’s most impactful songwriters, and we are honored to represent you and your songs.”
“Over the next few months, we will be transitioning the company to SMP’s services and systems,” the email continues. “We are working closely with HSG to ensure that all clients will receive the high level of service that you have come to expect.”
News of the impending deal comes only three months after Hipgnosis rebranded under the name Recognition Music Group, which now also contains Hipgnosis Songs Fund and Hipgnosis Song Management. At the time, HIpgnosis Songs Group was reported to be under the ownership of Blackstone, who confirmed the division was still under strategic review.
The newly christened Recognition was looking to partner with music companies and publishers for the administration of their assets. According to a source close to the deal, Sony’s acquisition of Hipgnosis is the result of that strategic review, and marks the completion of the company’s rebranding.

Russ Reveals An Uncleared Sample On ‘Losin’ Control’ Cost Him $850,000 to License

Rapper Russ reveals that failing to properly clear a sample back in 2015 led to him having to pay nearly $1 million to secure the rights.
Singer-songwriter Russ admitted on the “And the Writer Is…” podcast that his 2015 hit “Losin’ Control” featured a sample he didn’t clear until well after the song blew up. Clearing the sample years after the fact nearly cost him $1 million.
“Losin’ Control” ended up going eight times platinum in the United States. The track samples Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Behind the Bank.” Until his recent appearance on the podcast, Russ had never commented publicly on the sample issue.

“I got f—ed with that song,” he said. “Because I forgot to clear the sample until after it was like four times platinum. I probably could have cleared it in 2015 when I made it. But I didn’t know anyone in 2015. I’m just a kid in a basement. But I probably could have cleared it back then for $5,000.”
“The song comes out, goes on the album. I forget about it to the point where I’m like, ‘I don’t even remember if I sampled that,’” he explained. “And then I was like, ‘Oh fuck, I did.’ […] So the sample holder came. […] So I had to cut a check for like $850,000. It was an expensive fuck up.”
Although the dance artist had never commented on the sample issue before, he’s been outspoken about the alleged glorification of substance abuse in hip-hop. While talking to Aria Nejati on his Apple Music show, Russ discussed a controversial post from 2017, in which the New Jersey native shared a photo of himself wearing a shirt that read, “How much Xans and Lean do you have to do before you realize you’re a fucking loser?”
He doubled down: “That shit needed to be said. Somebody within that space needed to call out the glorification of substance abuse—especially from a social media standpoint.”
“Just [how some are] trying to make it look cool to people and not understanding the responsibility and even within the music, not understanding the impact and influence you have over kids,” he explained.
“I’m not saying I’m the perfect role model, but I just think as an artist, you can either inspire people to self-destruct or you can inspire people to self-improve,” he added. “And I think a lot of the music coming out right [now] is inspiring you to self-destruct. It’s the glorification of self-destruction.”
