Electronic music artist Deathpact has issued a public apology after an incident with a fan at a recent show in Phoenix. The artist, who performs masked, addressed the situation in a statement released today on X. 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. I am incredibly sorry to her for what happened. In hurrying to meet and greet as many fans as possible, I wasn’t careful enough and… — DEATHPACT (@DEATHPACT) March 20, 2025 “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.

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. 🚧 La Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente suspendió este día actividades en el delfinario del Hotel Barceló Riviera Maya, pues esta instalación no cuenta con la autorización de la Semarnat para realizar actividades de espectáculos con delfines. 🐬 @SEMARNAT_mx… pic.twitter.com/8aPHtyuVTb — PROFEPA (@PROFEPA_Mx) March 11, 2025 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."

Above & Beyond are returning this July with a brand new album, the first one in seven years. Titled ‘Bigger Than All of Us,’ the album represents the group’s gratefulness for what they have and what they’ve created so far together. The album will debut on 18th July and will be taken on a tour later this year. The dates are yet to be confirmed, but the British trio announced that more news will follow soon. Until then, ‘Bigger Than All of Us’ will be teased through the release of ‘Quicksand (Don’t Go)’ which is set to release Friday, 21st March. The song features Zoë Johnston’s vocals, a British singer and song-writer who has collaborated with the trance band multiple times and gave colour to some of the most beautiful Above & Beyond creations. ‘Quicksand (Don’t Go)’ was premiered by the trio in 2024, during their set at Group Therapy 600, and will be the first song people hear from the ‘Bigger Than All of Us’ album. The collaboration with Zoë Johnston has been announced to be only one of the many cross-overs that the album will have. The trance producers mentioned that ‘Bigger Than All of Us’ will contain collaborations with familiar artists, as well as new musicians. The three members of Above & Beyond spoke a few words about the upcoming release in July, saying: “how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It’s not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.” The new Above & Beyond album arrives this year just in time for the 25th anniversary of the trio’s label, Anjunabeats. Launched in July 2000, the label had the honour of bringing music from the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick, Andrew Bayer, Audien and many more to electronic music enthusiasts all over the world. ‘Bigger Than All of Us’ is now available for pre-order in vinyl and CD formats, along with limited edition merchandise that can be found on the official Above & Beyond website.

Canadian DJ and producer Ben Fox has dropped a new single, "Playground," his debut release on his new label, Foxxed Records. Featuring the ethereal vocals of Liinks coupled with vibrant piano house beats, the song is a testament to Fox’s ability to merge the underground energy of house with mainstream dance music.

Fox sets the tone with an infectious piano progression and crisp percussion, evoking a summer afternoon on the beach as Liinks' silky, emotive vocals glide effortlessly into an uplifting drop.

“Luna,” the stunning new single from TWO LANES and Recondite, doesn’t just mix styles; it reimagines what’s possible when neoclassical elegance meets the hypnotic pulse of atmospheric techno. Leo and Rafa, who are brothers, make up TWO LANES. They are known for finding the perfect mix between classical instruments and electronic production. The emotional core of their work is their signature piano records, which are close, rich, and full of life. These crystal melodies and the carefully made analog synth textures that go with them make music that sounds both classic and completely modern. Here comes Recondite, an artist whose ten-year journey through the more reflective parts of techno has made him one of the genre’s most unique voices. The artist’s most recent record, “Indifferent” (October 2024), shows that he is still pushing the limits and finding new emotional ground in soundscapes that breathe and change slowly. “Luna” started with a simple piano track and some synth explorations from TWO LANES. These were the delicate seeds that would grow when they worked together. Recondite’s transforming touch added new dimensions to the composition. He gave the beat kinetic energy and shaped the track’s stunning middle section, where tension builds with masterful control and then breaks out into moments of pure sonic catharsis. We’ve been long-time fans of Recondite’s music and are excited to finally share our collaboration. It all started with a piano recording and some synth ideas we sent his way. Recondite then added his unique touch to the track, giving the beat more energy and crafting the build-up in the middle. We went back and forth for a while until we all felt it was perfect. – TWO LANES The main part of the song, a buildup that gets stronger over time and shows how good both artists are at manipulating emotions, creates a moment of sublime tension before melting into a stunning ending. In these times, the collaboration shows its true strength: it can take fans to emotional places that neither artist could have made on their own.
