  2. Vladimir Putin’s elusive third daughter, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, has been making waves far from the Kremlin, reportedly living under an alias in Paris and carving out a life as a DJ. A recent investigation by Ukrainian TV station TSN has revealed that the 21-year-old, better known by her pseudonym Luiza Rozova, is pursuing a dual career in fashion and music. A Secret Life in Paris Elizaveta, who also goes by the name Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova, is said to be presenting herself as the daughter of Oleg Rudnov, a late media manager and close confidant of Putin. TSN alleges that Krivonogikh is the product of an affair between Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a former cleaner who has since amassed considerable wealth. Under her alias, Elizaveta is thought to be living a cosmopolitan life in Paris, distancing herself from her family’s political legacy while pursuing her artistic ambitions. From Moscow Nightlife to the Fashion World Before relocating to Paris, Krivonogikh performed as Luiza Rozova at Moscow’s trendy Rovesnik bar, a venue known for its progressive ethos. In 2021, she reportedly played a DJ set there, mingling with the city’s cultural elite and leaving shortly after her performance. The bar’s history of hosting events on feminism and human rights activism contrasts sharply with her father’s political image, adding intrigue to her persona. In addition to her DJ career, Luiza has also been involved in the fashion industry, further cementing her status as an enigmatic figure in the arts. A Glimpse Into Her Lifestyle Though her Instagram account is now private, reports suggest that Krivonogikh’s feed once showcased her enjoying a life of music, dance, and social outings. Her embrace of a modern, creative lifestyle seems at odds with her ties to Russia’s most powerful figure, fueling curiosity about her motivations and identity. As whispers of her Parisian life spread, Elizaveta Krivonogikh remains a fascinating figure in the intersection of politics and culture, blurring the lines between secrecy and self-expression.

  4. Legendary Grammy Award-winning producer/DJ, Benny Benassi is taking the stage at Marquee NY on December 7 Saturday night. The Italian DJ doesn’t need much of an introduction being one of the first pioneers to bridge together house and electro. Tickets are still available here.

  9. The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix proved once again that Vegas doesn’t just host events—it reinvents them. Now in its second year, Formula 1 has transformed the Las Vegas Strip into the epicenter of a thrilling November street race, where the roar of engines harmonizes with the thrum of electronic dance music. More than 300,000 fans flooded the city in 2024, reveling in a weekend that not only blurred the line between sport and spectacle, but also underscored how Formula 1 and electronic music share an increasingly common rhythm. Gordon and Ramsay and Steve Aoki at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix red carpet event.c/o Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Throughout the extended weekend, electronic music was the thread weaving together the race’s many layers of experience. Dom Dolla brought a surge of energy to the Paddock Club with a rooftop performance at the debut of LIV Nightclub's pop-up, "LIV On The Grid," while Steve Aoki also delivered a trackside DJ set on race night, infusing the grid with an anticipatory energy just moments before engines roared to life. Together, their performances highlighted how integral electronic music has become to the identity of Las Vegas’ most ambitious cultural events. Downtown, the inaugural Neon City Music Festival extended the celebration beyond the Strip, transforming Fremont Street into an expansive, open-air bash. Headlined by electronic luminaries such as Alison Wonderland and Seven Lions, the free event engaged a broader swath of the city’s population, embracing the celebratory spirit of the weekend itself. It served as a thoughtful reminder that while the Grand Prix may have its roots in global glamour, its success thrives on Vegas' unique ability to unify diverse experiences into a singular, unforgettable moment.

  10. At last year's NAMM Show, Pioneer DJ turned heads when they announced the arrival of a sleek, angled, all-in-one standalone DJ console with four decks, but the unprecedented splash it made this year set the stage for triumph across the board. Beyond music producers and DJs, it quickly caught eyes and ears among stagehands, club owners, audio engineers and more. Aesthetically, it’s a supermodel among gadgets with curves that romanticize its appeal. Its looks are complemented with streamlined functions that make it a powerful tool both for home or on the road as well. For music and event producers who don’t want to sacrifice any performance potential or sound quality in a more compact rig, it’s an absolute win. This is especially true for those who need something that can travel well. While it’s an undoubted advantage that the Opus Quad can fit comfortably in a small DJ booth or art car, the price, which lands around $3,500 with tax and shipping, we wondered how it would distinguish itself from predecessors like the XDJ-XZ and the CDJ-3000. So we got our hands on an Opus Quad and spent a few months fiddling with its many knobs and buttons. Here’s what we learned. Big screens make a big differenceThose who say not to judge a book by its cover probably never saw such a sexy cover. Like a classic sports car or an Apple device in its prime, the Opus Quad sets a precedent that DJ consoles don’t need to be clunky and cumbersome. Truly, where “all-in-one” devices from other brands can look and feel rigid and fragile like those vintage films of Ford’s Model T, Pioneer’s Opus Quad arrives dressed up like the Batmobile. Its central 10.1 inch touchscreen signals massive potential with intuitive design in a first impression that’s enough to make any onstage artist rubberneck. Each side, which houses two decks, has its own separate, smaller screen for additional details about the music playing on each deck. These vibrant, colorful screens serve up a robust but simple menu full of goodies like FX color control, cloud access control via RekordBox, track data and more. The truest "all-in-one" yetIts ability to control four channels independently without four separate CDJs also contributes to its visual appeal. While it doesn’t aim to replace the four CDJ setup that artists love, it offers a strong alternative that only occupies about half the space. In contrast, its predecessor the XDJ-XZ, which is still a phenomenal machine today, takes up just a little more real estate on a table while only allowing for two decks, unless external CDJs are added. The Opus Quad stands as a truer “all-in-one” in this way, because it meets the growing demand for four decks right out of the box. Before four-deck purists run for the comment section, let’s be clear. Obviously, the four-CDJ setup will still have its advantages so we don’t expect the conventional CDJ-3000 setup to fade from our favorite stages anytime soon, but as far as all-in-ones go the Quad Opus is more complete than its predecessors. And the fact that it's more compact means it travels better than four CDJs and a mixer too. In addition to shedding the need for external CDJs, the Opus Quad can operate from SSD drives, USB-A 3.2 and USB-C drives. As a result, it doesn’t need to rely on an external laptop. Obviously many onstage artists only travel with a USB drive to perform so to some this will feel old hat, but any poor soul who in the past needed to carry or keep an eye on a laptop for a set will almost certainly celebrate this aspect of the Opus Quad. Without a monitor perched on top of the console they’ll probably relish a better connection with the audience too. Beyond the CDJ-3000For those who love the CDJ-3000, the Opus Quad will feel in some ways like its cousin. It sports redesigned jog wheels with waveform indicators and tension adjusters, which are a firm nod to one of the CDJ-3000s most loved features. In some ways it goes a step further too. For instance, instead of traditional performance pads it’s equipped with hot cues that are more intuitive because the RGB color displays on the jog wheel waveforms can be customized, making it easier than ever to sync up with track cues in perfect style. Another nod to the 3000s can be seen and heard in the FX controls, which have advanced a few steps in the Opus Quad. Across all four decks the Opus Quad’s mixing toolset offers 14 beat FX with six adjustable colors. With this feature, choosing the perfect beat effect for the moment can be more intuitive, or even thematic. For example, face-melting effects with thick bass can be displayed in red, mid-trembling wobbles can be green and icy, transcendent chills can be blue. Perhaps the best part about all these new features is the fact that there are enough distinguishing visuals to separate the Quad Opus from its predecessors and peers, but certainly not enough to prevent a motivated artist from learning it all in a flash. It's an audio engineer's dreamThe often-unsung "sound guy" has a few reasons to opt for the Opus Quad too. Namely, it has separate XLR and RCA outputs, which make it an agile addition for a variety of venues and soundscapes. It has multi-zone output as well so it can function as a command center for a variety of vibes in separate areas. Its ultra compact design makes deploying it a breeze for load-ins, load-outs and setup between sets too. Granted, it’s certainly marketed with touring DJs in mind, but in its bevy of features and spacey design the Opus Quad seems to open up a world of possibilities for almost anyone who hopes to make, play and perform electronic music. In this article we didn’t unpack the way it loads tracks faster with SQLite or the way it stays cooler longer with optimized thermal airflow design right out of the box, but those who get one will quickly find these advantages to be a blessing. Also, with features like cloud access, a LAN port, updated bluetooth technology and a direct connection for SSD it won’t take long to notice the adaptable Opus Quad comes built ready for marathon sets, next-level learning, and just about anything else.
  11. In its 20 years, Tomorrowland, the world's preeminent EDM festival, has become beloved for its extravagant world-building. The event is now set to take it another step further in 2025 with its glacial theme, "Orbyz." According to a press release issued by Tomorrowland, the theme will set the balmy July festival in a world made completely of ice, featuring a community of people who have existed under a large ice cap for many years, freed upon its melting. "Orbyz" will revolve around this community's power and magic, which is granted through red crystals and rocks. As was the case with the festival's 2024 theme, "LIFE," fans and attendees will be able to read the fantastical story of "Orbyz" prior to next year's festival in Boom, Belgium. The event is expected to attract roughly 400,000 people from over 200 countries, per Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland 2025 will take place over the course of two weekends: July 18-20 and July 25-27.

  20. Critically acclaimed electronic music producer and artist Elephante has finally released his brand new album titled ‘COPE’ via his label Hidden Horizon. This album marks his 4th full-length album release and follows on from 2021’s ‘Heavy Glow’. As expected with Elephante, the album explores the emotional spectrum of healing and resilience, diving deep into the ways we navigate trauma and hardship. The album’s focus single, ‘Taste of Your Tongue’ ft. babyidontlikeyou, encapsulates the whirlwind of nostalgia and flawed romance, tapping into Elephante‘s ability to blend emotionally charged storytelling with his signature electronic production. Speaking on the single, Elephante says “‘Taste of Your Tongue’ is a song about nostalgia, and looking back with rose-colored glasses at an old relationship that didn’t work out. As time goes on, we forget the bad and remember the good, and sometimes we make mistakes trying to recapture the magic. And sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, and have that fling that you know you shouldn’t.” The track is driven by punchy beats and shimmering synths, capturing both the exhilaration and regret that comes with revisiting past emotions. As a whole, ‘COPE’ is a deeply thematic album, with each track representing a different facet of dealing with life’s challenges. Elephante elaborates, “My album is called COPE. Thematically, it’s about all the different ways that we get through trauma and difficult moments in our lives. Each of the songs is a different approach to coping.” From nostalgic reflections to cathartic releases, the album offers a nuanced and relatable emotional journey, while continuing to push Elephante’s sonic boundaries. Released via his Hidden Horizon label, ‘COPE’ builds on Elephante’s mission to uplift emerging and underrepresented voices in electronic music. Following the success of his previous singles, the album promises to be a highlight of Elephante’s already impressive career and in addition will be accompanied by a round of national tour dates. The album explores themes of healing, resilience, and navigating trauma with introspective and genre-blending soundscapes.
  21. Celebrated for their exceptional releases on Afterlife and Siamese, Swiss team ENØS makes a victorious comeback with the Now or Forever EP, therefore marking a historic 50th release on Sinners. Renowned for their expressive rhythms and evocative soundscapes, the Lausanne brothers create two hypnotic tracks highlighting a darker and more complex development of their melodic techno craft. The EP begins with the title song, Now or Forever, a rich and atmospheric work bursting with beautiful, dreamy harmony. A broad, flowing main theme balances reflection with exhilaration by guiding the listener through a fluid investigation of double realities. The track’s great cinematic quality is enhanced by its soaring intensity and precisely placed breaks, therefore producing an amazing experience spanning light and shadow. The second track, Quasar, explores ever more mysterious ground. Driven by a techno-based basis, it combines a dreamy but eerie main theme with a fascinating synth palette. The deeper tones and throbbing rhythms create a fascinating trip that highlights even more the pair’s ability to strike a mix between intricacy and accessibility. Complementing its erratic breaks, the explosive energy of the music distinguishes it as a provocative work fit for a dancefloor. Supported by heavyweights like Mind Against and Tale Of Us, ENØS keeps cementing their name as forerunners of modern melodic techno. Along with amazing performances, including lighting up Hï Ibiza’s stage for Afterlife, the Now or Forever EP also symbolizes their increasing presence on legendary labels such Habitat, Oddity, and Purified. This newest release is a daring step into a more profound and mature soundscape, not only a celebration of their skill. For everyone attuned to the emotional depths and complex textures of melodic techno—a defining event for ENØS and Sinners both—now or forever is a vital listen.

  22. The definitive illustrated history of the cult videogame – a heart-thumping fusion of groundbreaking graphic design, architectural futurism, electronic music and high-speed racing. WipEout crashed onto the scene in 1995, shifting games into the cultural fast lane with its unique 3D visual designs. It propelled a wondrous hit of anti-gravity, hyperspeed racing into the heart of the freshly released PlayStation console and, over time, the series – developed by Psygnosis, later known as Studio Liverpool – grew into a cult phenomenon amongst graphic designers and gamers alike. With its club-land branding – devised by cutting-edge Sheffield agency The Designers Republic, and its on-the-pulse collaborations with electronic artists, from The Chemical Brothers to Kraftwerk, WipEout was not only a racing game – it was a vehicle for art. WipEout Futurism chronicles the iconic game’s vision, struggles and achievements – from first conception to future plans, in a distinctive union of trailblazing artwork and graphic design. The extraordinary, and rarely seen, concept art created for the game is beautifully reproduced throughout the book, while The Designers Republic’s peerless vision for an alternative future – with its roots planted in the rich earth of sci-fi iconography – weaves its way throughout the pages, making this publication a densely packed expansion to the beloved series.

  24. Winamp music platform, is today releasing an advanced version of Winamp for Creators, making it the first all-in-one suite of tools for artists, covering everything from distribution, copyright and licensing, to collectibles, fan engagement, collaboration and marketing. Winamp is focusing its attention on empowering independent artists and labels, at a time when streaming is not serving the majority of artists who are unable to make a living out of it. The need to diversify revenue streams beyond streaming has never been greater. Winamp for Creators now aggregates gold-standard music management tools into an all-in-one platform, empowering music creators to manage their music and revenue in a single place – for the very first time. Winamp for Creators allows artists to become businesses Winamp for Creators represents a new model for the music industry, where artists can in effect become their own merchant, providing the opportunity for direct fan engagement through personalised artist-to-fan relationships, and also manage their copyrights, license their music, sell digital collectibles and even hire collaborators. This evolution reflects a broader change in the way that artistic creation is valued, with artists at the center of the system, not on its periphery. With Winamp for Creators, artists can reclaim control over the relationship with their audience, allowing fans to gain access to exclusive content or personalised memorabilia. The suite of tools The suite of tools includes distribution, the capability for independent artists to be on all major streaming platforms entirely for free; copyright, helping artists to receive and manage author and composer royalties; and licensing, allowing artists to sell their tracks for use in ads, YouTube videos, and more. Winamp for Creators also provides YouTube Content ID to copyright owners, to easily identify and manage their copyright-protected content on YouTube. Winamp then collects the revenue generated and distributes it to the copyright owners/creators. There is a collectibles service, allowing artists to create NFTs of tracks with a unique value and perpetual revenue source; and a Fanzone, allowing artists to create their own social feeds, with content that can be locked for premium subscribers. Coming soon in Q1 2025, there are marketing tools, providing artists with the ability to create direct revenue streams while enhancing revenue management, managing websites, creating ad campaigns, and handling social networks. Lack of resources is often what blocks the artist’s journey but now they – or their managers – can build a team of collaborators and remunerate them with Winamp for Creators. It provides the opportunity for artists to have the flexibility to create teams that can be scaled up or scaled down to support them, including managers, marketing and social media experts. Winamp for Creators even has a job board to allow people to post a job or apply for one. Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO, Winamp, said: “Streaming has run out of steam and the music industry needs a new model. Winamp can be part of the solution. At the current level of streaming revenues, it should only account for 30% to 40% of a musician’s total income, while artists create other monetisation avenues. The challenge for independent artists and small labels is to identify new revenue sources and establish a more direct connection with fans. “Winamp for Creators makes the business of being an artist seamless, providing an all-in-one suite of tools that give artists full control of their music and revenue. It is the swiss army knife of music management tools, one that every artist needs in their back pocket.” The post Winamp releases advanced version of Creator platform appeared first on Decoded Magazine.
  25. Dekmantel Records has relaunched its UFO series, marking a new chapter in its exploration and support of experimental electronic music. Originally launched in 2016, UFO has been synonymous with the harder, darker, and avant-garde techno sounds showcased on the UFO I and II stages at Dekmantel Festival. After a hiatus since 2022, the series now returns with a refreshed identity by designer Jonathan Castro, and a renewed focus on pushing the boundaries of today’s club music. Today, UFO returns with two simultaneous EP releases, setting the tone for the sublabel’s future. Wata Igarashi’s ‘Kaleidoscopic’ offers a four-track journey through the Japanese artist’s crystalline techno realm, blending ethereal arpeggios, shimmering melodies, and minute shades of acid and breaks. On ‘Ecstatic Nostalgia’, Italian producer Piezo opens a four-track window into techno’s contemporary permutations, weaving UK bass and dub offshoots into a highly kinetic club sound that is equally fast-paced and dreamy, heavy and mischievous. Platforming both techno’s fundamentals and its yet-to-be-defined offshoots, the UFO sublabel aims to further champion the innovative artists featured at Dekmantel’s global events, while also enriching the broader Dekmantel label. “By dividing things this way, we can introduce some differentiation while continuing to release both techno and house, along with many other genres,” says label manager Olf van Elden. “Both sides of Dekmantel are equally important to us—and they can coexist harmoniously.” Looking ahead to 2025, the UFO series is set to expand with releases from artists including Broken English Club and Quelza. Singles on streaming & preorder links including Bandcamp:https://ffm.to/wata-dkmntl-ufo14 and https://ffm.to/piezo-dkmntl-ufo13 The post Dekmantel Records relaunches UFO sublabel with releases by Wata Igarashi and Piezo appeared first on Decoded Magazine.
