Synth pop icons Dead Or Alive’s 1985 album Youthquake is being celebrated with an expansive 4CD deluxe boxset reissue, set for release on February 21st, 2025. This special edition marks the 40th anniversary of the album’s original release in 1985, an album that propelled the band into global superstardom with its infectious blend of new wave, electronic dance, and glam pop. Packaged in a stunning 7” Deluxe double gatefold wallet with O-ring, this 41-track reissue offers fans an unparalleled opportunity to revisit Youthquake in all its glory. The boxset includes newly mastered versions of the original album, a host of mixes and remixes, and a live performance recorded during the band’s 1985 Youthquake tour. Youthquake is best remembered for the worldwide smash hit ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’, a song that remains one of the defining anthems of the 80s. The track rocketed to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and broke into the top 20 in the US, and its innovative production by Pete Waterman, combined with Pete Burns’ provocative vocals and striking persona, made it an instant classic that is still celebrated today. Looking back at ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’ after all this time, Pete Waterman said: “I always said Pete Burns was one of the most talented people I ever met, but when we walked into the studio that Monday morning, little did we know we were about to start work on one of the 20th century’s iconic tracks.” The album also produced other hit singles, including ‘Lover Come Back To Me’, ‘My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor)’, and ‘In Too Deep’, which helped Youthquake chart in the UK and the US. In the years following its release, Youthquake was certified Gold in the UK and Platinum in the US, solidifying Dead Or Alive’s place as one of the 80s most exciting and influential pop acts. Billboard recently ranked Dead Or Alive among the Top 100 Most Successful Dance Artists of All Time, a testament to the lasting impact of their pioneering sound and innovative approach to electronic dance music. This deluxe edition includes four CDs, each offering something unique for fans and collectors. CD1 features the original Youthquake album, newly mastered for this reissue, featuring the unforgettable hits that launched Dead Or Alive into the stratosphere. CD2 is dedicated to ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’, featuring the song’s various mixes, including the extended version and remixes that have become fan favourites over the years. CD3 offers a selection of 7″ and 12″ versions, remixes, and instrumentals, showcasing the band’s experimental side and offering new perspectives on some of the most iconic tracks of the era. CD4 features a live recording from the 1985 Youthquake tour, captured at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. The deluxe boxset is presented in a beautifully designed 7″ double gatefold wallet with an O-ring, that highlights the cultural impact of Youthquake and Dead Or Alive’s place in pop history. Formed in Liverpool in 1980, Dead Or Alive were led by the enigmatic Pete Burns, whose unique voice and bold style made him a true pop icon. Alongside Burns, the band’s classic line-up included Mike Percy (bass), Steve Coy (drums), and Tim Lever (keyboards/guitar). The band’s fearless embrace of glam, electronic, and dance elements set them apart from their contemporaries, and Youthquake showcased their ability to blend catchy pop hooks with cutting-edge production. Over the years, Dead Or Alive’s influence has only grown, with ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’ remaining a defining anthem of the 80s. The band’s cultural impact extends beyond music, with Pete Burns becoming a trailblazer for androgynous style and an icon of queer culture. Dead Or Alive’s fearless approach to music, style, and identity continues to resonate with fans and artists today.

“Everything was better in the 90s!” You probably heard this phrase a million times, and while it may not always be true, it does relate to Faithless’ “Insomnia.” Released back in 1995, Sister Bliss, Maxi Jazz, and Rollo Armstrong gave the world one of the greatest dance hits ever created. With a mesmerizing production, powerful vocals, as well as lyrics, the British band took the rave scene by storm from only their second release. “I spent 20 minutes with a pad jotting down my thoughts, finished the lyrics in the studio the following evening, then spent about 25 minutes putting the vocals down,” mentioned the late Maxi Jazz in an interview with The Guardian in 2020. Despite the fact it took a short amount of time to write and record the vocals, they caught the ears of listeners. “If I had a quid for every time someone’s come up going, ‘I can’t get no sleep’, I’d be living on the space station,” said the vocalist of Faithless regarding one of the most famous lines of all electronic music. Along with the catchy vocals of Maxi Jazz, came the instrumental which makes this record special. The one of a kind bassline and melody also contributed towards the popularity of the track, making it an unforgettable release. The song was initially launched in the UK in 1995 but after gaining continental success, it was proposed by Pete Tong for a re-release which happened in 1996. On the same day of the re-release, Spice Girls dropped “Say You’ll Be There”, meaning that “Insomnia” would be placed in racks alongside it. The Faithless record charted just two places below “Say You’ll Be There” which was no.1 at the time. Still being played in these days, “Insomnia” represents rave culture all around the world, whether it is through reworks or the original mix. In one of his last interviews, Maxi Jazz said: “It was a big shock for the song to be such a huge hit, but an even bigger shock that it’s still such a favourite.” In 2022, Maxi Jazz, the vocalist of Faithless sadly passed away aged 65. The electronic dance music industry stood still with famous DJs and producers reflecting on the impact of the British singer. Although, the death of Maxi Jazz went beyond the music world. An example are fans of Crystal Palace, the football club Maxi Jazz supported. For the team’s next home fixture following the news about Maxi Jazz, they revealed a mural of him at the club’s stadium, as well as honoured his legacy through a banner ahead of the game. Celebrate the 29th anniversary of “Insomnia” by Faithless by streaming the record below.

Today, the techno festival, Awakenings, set off a firestorm with a social media post about saying (temporary) goodbye to the legendary Gashouder venue in Amsterdam. We’ve already said temporary farewell to Printworks and we saw Miami’s Club Space closed for the entire Summer for its renovations. What’s happening with Gashouder? As it turns out, these plans have been in motion since August. On August 10, Amsterdam granted a permit to build a basement under Gashouder. Right now, there are numerous tents sitting around the venue to house necessary components and production facilities. There is an entrance area for security checks, cloakrooms, dressing rooms, production space, and much more. These will all be moved to a newly constructed basement beneath the venue. It will free up the area around the venue and improve the aesthetics of the structure. Gashoulder will close for these renovations, which will also include significant sound insulation and new ways to manage crowd flow in the space. Below is a visual showing the before and after plan. Timeline Gashoulder will close in early 2025 for the renovations, and the work is expected to last nine months. We hope that the construction stays on schedule! For those with concerns there will be an app where people can monitor the progress and there will even be monthly walk throughs for the public to come and ask questions. So after NYE festivities, we will bid farewell to Gashouder until Fall of 2025. Hopefully we’ll see it in new form come ADE 2025.

The data illustrates the explosive growth garnered by Shazam since its debut back in 2002, to which Apple credits gradual advancements to the app. At first, users could only search using SMS, but now they can search on desktop, mobile and on devices like smartwatches. Electronic dance music represents a significant portion of the top 100 songs searched on Shazam. That includes generational dance anthems like Avicii's "Wake Me Up," Martin Garrix's "Animals and The Chainsmokers and Halsey's "Closer," among others.

*Featured Cover Photo Credit: Mina Kim/PA (PA Wire) The U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has officially provided his backing for Parliament plans to make spiking a criminal offense nationwide. The PM’s backing comes after the Labour Government made spiking a criminal offense as a form of assault under the “Offences Against the Person Act” on July 17th. The criminal offense, which Parliament included it in the 35 proposed bills, also got its introduction during the King’s Speech that occurred on that same date as well. Other nightlife leaders and industry executives have shown support and praise for the planned passing of the criminal offense, especially since there will be staff training on how to prevent spiking from happening at the venues. That training may roll out starting in spring 2025. An official press release from the UK GOV earlier today affirmed the pledge from PM Keir Starmer, alongside a joint coalition of industry executives, police chiefs, and transport heads, to keep women and girls safe at night by strongly cracking down on spiking. The Prime Minister would later confirmed those initial plans in a meeting with the aforementioned executives, chiefs, and heads on the same day. Photo Credit: Getty Images Training throughout the UK on how to prevent spiking in all venues According to an article from Mixmag, the crackdown on spiking will involve widespread training across the nightlife industry. This nationwide training process will utilize the extensive and valuable training of skills to thousands of staffers in noticing the offense right away and preventing it quickly before the victim falls for the crime. A pilot program will commence the plans starting from December. Afterwards, the training will start its rollout process towards up to 10,000 nightlife workers in spring next year. This is a great step in ensuring a fun and safe nightlife environment and with spiking being made into a criminal offense, it may influence various governments worldwide to enact similar policies relating to that as well. The state of California has even mandated bars and nightclubs to provide drug testing devices for patrons starting this past July. Last but not least, this will show offenders that spiking is a very serious crime and they will face very severe consequences if they receive charges for it. Here is a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Prime Minister Keir Starker that emphasizes the government’s commitment to cracking down on spiking.

About Chocolate Puma Chocolate Puma is a Dutch DJ/producer duo consisting of René ter Horst and Gaston Steenkist, aka Dj Zki & Dobre. The guys started producing music in 1991, delivering club hits under several artist names. Drawn together by a shared appreciation of the house music movement of the early 90s, their career got off to a turbo-charged start with the release of what would become one of the defining records of their career. Recording under their alias of The Good Men, the duo released ‘Give It Up’ on their own Fresh Fruit label in 1992. The record surpassed all expectations, reaching #1 on the US Dance Chart and #5 on the UK Singles Chart, propelling them to unexpected global stardom. In 2001, the duo came up with their last alias, Chocolate Puma. And like The Good Men, Chocolate Puma got off to a dream start with the release of ‘I Wanna Be U’; another record that became a worldwide hit and reached #6 in the UK Singles chart, prompting an appearance from the duo on Tops of the Pops. Then, after ‘Always And Forever’ again entered the UK singles chart in 2005, they decided to drop all those other aliases and continue as Chocolate Puma. Over the decades, they have released music like ‘Scrub The Ground’, ‘Lullaby’, and ‘You Are My Life’ on different labels like Axtone, Defected, Positiva, FFRR, Strictly Rhythm, Spinnin’, Musical Freedom, Mixmash, and Heldeep, to name a few. Recently, their music has been rediscovered by artists like Adam Beyer, Tita Lau, Nicole Moudaber, and others.
