Ravebot

With his latest EP, Freeze Sucka, FREAK ON crafts urban legends you can dance to. The producer has dropped a pair of hip-hop-charged house tracks that pulse with the thrill of a city alive after dark. The titular track commands sustained attention with an intoxicating bassline and rolling rhythms that pulse like the heartbeat of a city that never sleeps. Vintage hip-hop influences are stitched seamlessly into the fabric of its house grooves, creating a sound that radiates raw energy. It's the kind of track that dares you to stay still, but resistance is futile. "Get Quick" then ups the ante by dialing up the funk with plucky basslines and lush, twangy strings, calling to mind the swirling lights of a disco ball. Filtered strings bend and twist over a bouncing house rhythm, creating a dynamic, nostalgic atmosphere that feels both familiar and fresh. It’s a nod to the past with one foot planted firmly in the future, a testament to FREAK ON's ability to bridge stylistic worlds with finesse.

Members club, Soho House, has announced plans to open Soho Farmhouse Ibiza in spring 2025. This will be the group’s first Farmhouse-style venue in Spain, situated on a working olive grove. Soho House is a private members’ club that primarily caters to individuals in creative industries. Founded in 1995 by restaurateur Nick Jones, the first location opened above Café Boheme in London’s Soho district. The club was envisioned as a welcoming space for creative thinkers, contrasting sharply with the formal atmosphere of traditional private clubs. Today, Soho House has expanded globally. The new property will become Soho House’s third Spanish location, joining its Barcelona venues. The opening comes as part of the brand’s ongoing global expansion, which includes projects in cities like Tokyo and Milan. Features and Amenities Soho Farmhouse Ibiza will cater to members seeking a mix of rural charm and modern amenities. Planned features include: Accommodations: Private bedrooms designed for members. Outdoor Spaces: A pool, yoga deck, and wellness facilities including a gym and treatment rooms. Dining: An organic kitchen garden restaurant and bar emphasizing local ingredients. The design aims to replicate the countryside atmosphere of the original Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, UK, while adapting it to the Mediterranean environment. The venue’s location on an olive grove ties into Ibiza’s finca tradition. Fincas, historic rural estates often surrounded by farmland, are a hallmark of the island’s agro-tourism scene. Many of these estates now host visitors, offering farm-to-table dining and eco-friendly experiences. Soho Farmhouse Ibiza appears to follow this model, blending luxury accommodations with an emphasis on sustainability. This development signals Soho House’s continued growth in Spain, where it operates two other locations. It also reflects a wider trend in Ibiza tourism, which has seen increased interest in wellness-focused retreats and agro-tourism. Ibiza’s reputation as a destination for both nightlife and tranquility makes it a strategic choice. With construction underway, Soho Farmhouse Ibiza is expected to attract members from across the globe when it opens next year. The opening may appeal to those looking for a quieter side of the island while still enjoying its vibrant culture.

Toolroom Records presents another club banger courtesy of CHANEY, one of their most beloved musicians. Returning with a track destined to set dance floors ablaze, the UK-based producer features the venerable Candi Staton. This partnership is absolute magic, given CHANEY’s ability to create joyful, high-energy songs and Candi’s legendary vocals. Over the past year, CHANEY has been on an unrelenting journey, acquiring stripes among the most interesting names in electronic music. His summer song “Sunshine” became a mainstay on UK radio and playlists; his releases on Insomniac and D4Dance helped to confirm his position on the world scene. From lighting the Ministry of Sound for Toolroom concerts to rocking New York’s subterranean, he has been everywhere. Not only are his live presentations captivating to his audience but tracks like “Love Again” and “Blank Space” have jaw-dropping 15 million and 10 million streams, respectively, showing that CHANEY is not just a DJ’s preferred producer but also one who understands audience connection. With his most recent Toolroom album, CHANEY now elevates the standard once more. Designed for the raw, electric intensity of venues like Ibiza’s DC-10, this tune has everything we love about his sound: tall buildup, earth-shaking drops, and a bassline that goes under your skin. And then there is Candi Staton. Her remarkable voice captivates the audience to “LOSE MY NUMBERRR!”, thereby fusing old-school soul with contemporary dancing sensations in a way that feels timeless and fresh all at once. This release is a statement not merely a banger. CHANEY is among the most brilliant talents in the United Kingdom, and working with a legend like Candi Staton is just another way to confirm his legacy. Time and time again he has shown this. Whether you’re blasting it through your headphones or sweating it out in a packed club, this track is a must-have for everyone who likes dance music that hits you squarely in the heart—and the feet. Love it; stream it, spin it. Here to brighten your night are CHANEY and Candi Staton. The post CHANEY and Candi Staton on Toolroom with ‘Lose My Number’ appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

The Uplifting New Project Serves As A Friend In Times of Loneliness New Single “Can’t Let You Go” with Bantu Out Now via Insomniac Records Buy/Stream: BLOND:ISH, Bantu – Can’t Let You Go Stream Here BLOND:ISH unveils plans for her compassionate new body of work, Never Walk Alone, her second studio album forthcoming via Insomniac Records on February 14, 2025. Alongside the announcement comes the new single “Can’t Let You Go,” featuring Zimbabwe singer and producer Bantu. In a world full of isolation and an ever-growing need to focus on mental health, Never Walk Alone (and its title track released this summer) is meant to serve as a friend in times of anxiety and loneliness. The previous single, “Different Way,” reminded us that even though we all endlessly compare ourselves to others, everyone’s journey is unique. With “Can’t Let You Go,” BLOND:ISH explores the bittersweet tug-of-war between hello and goodbye with a loved one. “Meeting Bantu was a super sweet random encounter. We went deep pretty quickly. I spoke to him about the intentions infused into this album. I wanted it to open up people into discovering they are their own best friend — and he immediately wanted to add his distinct flavor.” — BLOND:ISH BLOND:ISH has woven a thread of positive messaging through her most recent singles, along with masterfully blending a tonic of genres that aim to beam her compassionate transmissionsfar and wide. While the late summer mood-lifter “Never Walk Alone” called on pop, indie, and soul, “Different Way” combinessurf rock, synth pop, and house music. On “Can’t Let You Go,” BLOND:ISH, alongside Bantu, polishes her natural love for Afro-house, a genre that has been a staple in her DJ sets. The goal is that these songs push the planet closer to “Happy Happy World” (an inclusive place of sustainable unity, respect, and nourishment). NEVER WALK ALONE VINYL BLOND:ISH is inviting fans to become a part of her new album’s story by submitting a photo with a bestie or loved one. These personal snaps will be woven into a unique mosaic that’s featured exclusively on the limited edition vinyl package. Fans will have the chance to submit their photos on her Instagram Broadcast channel for full info. ABOUT BLOND:ISH BLOND:ISH’s unwavering commitment to contributing positivity to the music industry has come to define her as an artist. Whether it’s organizing group hugs before her sets or taking initiative against single-use plastics, BLOND:ISH wants to leave the world a better place than she found it. As a record label head, environmental activist, Web3 entrepreneur, and new mom, BLOND:ISH breaks down traditional barriers between artist and fan, uniting her community through pillars of purpose. Igniting a movement coined “Sustainable Raving,” BLOND:ISH founded Bye Bye Plastic, an initiative that aims to eliminate single-use plastics from clubs and festivals by encouraging artists to use eco-riders that demand alternatives and by providing resources to promoters who want to change. Around her recent label party, Abracadabra, in Los Angeles, she organized a beach cleanup covered by Billboard Dance. Check out the recap here.

The Loop has started a new year-round programme to deliver its pioneering onsite drug testing at Drumsheds and The Warehouse Project, with testing in the autumn 2024 clubbing season to monitor trends in the drug market for safety. For the first time The Loop has received HO licences to test at venues, building on its work at festivals over this summer. Much of The Loop’s service delivery, since 2013, has been working within and alongside the festival industry, and developing the service model and approach for drug testing services in different environments. The Loop’s drug testing services (‘back of house – BOH’) are non-public facing and operate by testing substances confiscated or through amnesty onsite, and working alongside key stakeholders. The Loop received the first ever Home Office licences issued for drug testing for UK festivals in spring 2024, and for UK venues in autumn 2024. The Loop is now conducting onsite drug testing at two of the largest club venues in the UK, Drumsheds in London and The Warehouse Project, Depot Mayfield in Manchester, to inform our understanding of the UK’s changing drug market and the implications of that for both customers and emergency services operating in those venues. The Loop will have the UK’s first HO licensed mobile laboratories to be located onsite within both venues during operating hours, to rapidly and accurately test substances of concern and disseminate test results with the primary aim of reducing drug-related harm. Changes in the drug market have made the rapid-real time testing offered by the Loop more important than ever with drug-related deaths at the highest on record and set to increase further. The UK also faces increasing challenges with the emergence and proliferation of synthetic cathinones, cannabinoids and opioids. | Katy Porter, CEO of The Loop said: “With our drug testing being completed at festivals, a seasonal industry, we have been concerned that this does not go far enough in maintaining regular drug intelligence across the UK, and importantly throughout the year. The introduction of our year-round onsite testing into a venue in both London and Manchester will provide intelligence for real time risk management and harm reduction information that can be quickly shared with the public, other venues and wider stakeholders to reduce the potential of significant harms.” Professor Fiona Measham, Chair in Criminology at the University of Liverpool and founder and Chair of The Loop said: “The Loop’s drug testing programme is going from strength to strength. We started out conducting the very first back of house testing onsite at the WHP in October 2013 and 11 years later The Loop is introducing year-round onsite venue testing, including with our long term partners at the WHP and now also at Drumsheds, with full HO licences. The size of these venues and the regularity of testing all year round means that The Loop’s understanding of drug markets will only increase.” “Implementing onsite drug testing at both Drumsheds, London, and The Warehouse Project,Manchester, will commence a nationwide network of drug testing, funded directly by the venues. Swiftly communicating to venue customers, wider nightlife communities, and partners, including public health, early warning systems, law enforcement, and importantly, the generation of real-time alerts when there are significant concerns. Sam Spencer, Head of Operations, representing Drumsheds and 9.8, says: “As part of our ongoing commitment to public safety and harm reduction, we are proud to collaborate with The Loop in bringing their innovative drug testing service to Drumsheds. We believe in taking proactive steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all audiences and the introduction of testing is a significant move in that direction. The information gathered helps us continue to respond in real-time to potential risks, and following the ONS report of increased drug-related harms, this initiative represents a crucial shift in how the industry responds. It’s about more than just mitigating risks – it’s about equipping people with the knowledge and support they need to stay safe across London, Manchester, and nationwide, while fostering a responsible, informed culture within the live events space”. The Loop’s mobile lab, operating under a Home Office licence, will contribute to the national surveillance of illicit drug markets, which allows more targeted interventions when responding to drug use, disseminated through social media to reach a wide audience, and in working with local and central government departments, OHID and the Home Office, in consideration of concerns and response. Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association: “The NTIA wholeheartedly supports The Loop’s pioneering initiative to expand onsite drug testing. This programme represents a ground-breaking step forward in our shared commitment to enhancing public safety within the nightlife sector. The rapid changes within the UK’s drug market, including the rise of synthetic substances, have underscored the urgent need for informed, real-time responses. The NTIA is proud to champion this forward-thinking approach, which equips our nightlife venues with tools that protect audiences and encourage a safer, more responsible nightlife culture. The partnership between The Loop, venues, and local authorities marks a crucial evolution in public safety and harm reduction within the UK’s nightlife sector, and we look forward to supporting its positive impact on communities nationwide.” The planning for testing will remain dynamic, and in consideration of additional information and intelligence from all involved partners (police, public health), increased risk and further changes in the drugs market, and to ultimately inform plans for related harm reduction activity and approaches.

Since its inception in 2010, A Love from Outer Space (ALFOS) has been a steady presence in the underground music scene, fostering a close-knit community with its regular, transformative dancefloor experiences. Founded by the late Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston, both highly regarded DJs and producers, ALFOS was born out of a shared love for slower-paced music and quickly became a lasting and adventurous clubbing experience. Initially conceived as a response to the fast-paced mainstream scene, ALFOS took a different approach, maintaining a tempo of no more than 122 bpm. The club night started in the intimate surroundings of The Waiting Room in North London, where its distinctive musical ethos found an immediate following. Over time, it evolved into a British clubbing institution, expanding to larger venues and eventually reaching an international audience. ALFOS became known for its eclectic and hypnotic sound, blending everything from kosmische and house to dub and post-punk. The night developed a loyal following, with residencies at London’s Phonox and Glasgow’s Berkeley Suite, and it has taken its sound to various settings, from the Croatian coastline to the Golden Lion Pub in Todmorden. Following Andrew Weatherall’s passing in 2020, Sean Johnston has carried on the ALFOS legacy. During the pandemic, he launched the A Love from Outer Space Emergency Broadcast System, a series of livestreamed DJ sets that kept the community connected during a challenging time. These broadcasts were crucial in maintaining the ALFOS spirit when live events were paused, attracting a global audience and reinforcing the collective bond of the community. This upcoming compilation reflects the music that has shaped ALFOS over the past 15 years while also hinting at its future. Compiled and mixed by Johnston, the 19-track album pays tribute to the club night’s rich history and its commitment to pushing musical boundaries forward. Johnston explains, “The thing about ALFOS is that while we’ve always had one eye on the past, much of the music we play is forward-looking. This compilation seeks to captures that balance.” The album features a variety of exclusive tracks, including the sought-after Neville Watson remix of The Blow Monkeys and Brioski’s “Call 626,” alongside a wide range of sounds that both honour the past and embrace the future. As ALFOS prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary, its influence remains strong, offering a space for music lovers to come together, slow down, and explore new sounds. Tracklist: 1. The Blow Monkeys – Save Me (Neville Watson Remix) 2. Jonny Sender – Zhivago Zhivago 3. Cisco Cisco – If You Want Me (Jay Shepheard Remix) 4. Laars – None 5.

The Circoloco concert in Cairo on November 15, 2024, instead descended into anarchy leaving thousands of ticket holders stranded and many reporting unsafe conditions, in what was supposed to be a magnificent night of electronic music against the backdrop of the historic Giza Pyramids. Widespread criticism and demands for responsibility resulted from the ambitious endeavor of the esteemed electronic music brand to combine modern dance culture with one of mankind’s most famous historical locations. “pure chaos started“ Early in the evening, the issues started as thousands of non-ticket holders tried to flood the stadium gates. By 9:00 PM, an orderly queue rapidly descended into a scene of disarray and panic. Many guests claimed that a serious security breach resulted from local citizens without tickets trying to pass through the main gates. Attending from Dubai, a visitor who spent about $1,000 on the trip with his girlfriend noted the quick degradation of order: Initially, the line was broadly orderly although very long. After literally few minutes (around 9.10pm) several violent crowds started to push all the way down the main gate… Surprisingly, the police on the ground (including the army) never intervened properly. Hence, the line that was initially orderly, clearly broke out and pure chaos started. What many claimed to be a poor security reaction aggravated the situation. Police and security personnel allegedly helped to cause anarchy instead of upholding discipline. Many legal ticket holders became targets of these forceful actions as witnesses reported security officials releasing police dogs into the throngs. Batons were witnessed being used by security personnel against both illegal visitors and authorized ticket holders equally. While several attendees related unsettling events of security staff trying to loot guests of their things, others claimed the use of tear gas to control the crowd. “it was a war zone, barely got out of there alive“ Many valid ticket holders discovered they were caught in a terrible twilight outside the arena. The anarchy at the door caused a congestion that left some never able to enter even with legitimate tickets waiting for hours. One especially remarkable story came from a party of Dutch visitors who claimed to have been left at the door with about a hundred others and had no reason for being denied access. The experience of a Turkish guest who said, “We went to the party area at 8 o’clock and arrived inside exactly 22:30,” helped to show the degree of the delays. Many others claimed similar or even longer delays, therefore this four-and- a-half-hour wait became a regular occurrence. Many finally failed to enter at all. “At the girls’ toilet, only 1 toilet was open and the attendant at the toilet door took 200 EGP to enter” For those who made it into the site, the issues didn’t stop at the gate. The venue’s payment system proved to be erratic, with top-up stations suffering protracted wait times before totally collapsing and staff members having to move to cash-only operations quickly. The beverage service was also poor; alcohol supplies ran totally empty by midnight, leaving many attendees disappointed and parched. The facility has equally serious problems. Many parts of the venue suffered from poor lighting, which created hazardous mobility conditions. Reports of unofficial bathroom attendants asking for fees ranging from 150 to 200 EGPs for admittance led to especially severe circumstances in the bathroom. In other places, only one toilet stayed operational despite several facilities being constructed, resulting in unclean conditions and unworkable lines. With music totally stopping for thirty to forty minutes during the event and crowding making it almost impossible for guests to walk freely or appreciate what music was playing, the sound system also suffered major disturbances. Circoloco explained the situation Circoloco addressed the situation through an Instagram story with the following statement CIRCOLOCO pyramids we sincerely apologize to those who were unable to access the event last night. despite everyone’s best efforts, we faced an overwhelming challenge with thousands of non-ticket buyers and fake tickets attempting to gain entry. this created significant strain on security and police, who worked tirelessly to manage the situation, which was beyond anyone’s control. for those who could not enter or have any pending balance, we are offering a refunds. to begin the process please contact: [email protected] we deeply regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding as we investigate these issues further.

In electronic music there are certain melodies and pieces of sound design that can be recognised in a split second and today marks 15 years since the release of a track which has one of the most recognizable melodies, pieces of sound design, and vocals. The track of course being the timeless classic ‘Heads Will Roll.’ After originally being created by the indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in 2009 A-Trak would put his spin on it creating a legendary piece of house music. At the centre of the track is a string riff sampled from a Mellotron M4000D sound card which appeared in the original track but was modified in the remix to make a stabbing lead that oozes club energy. A-Trak brought his funky house style that you would expect from the Duck Sauce member and made a song that to this day is a staple song to hear out in the clubs. He is a legend of electronic music who in the 15 years since has continued to pump out more of his funky beats as both a solo artist and alongside Armand Van Helden as part of Duck Sauce. ‘Heads Will Roll’ will forever be one of the great club anthems and will always bring good vibes wherever it’s played.

From Seven Lions' diverse catalog of melodic bass and progressive house to Kompany's penchant for speaker-busting dubstep, their new single "Foul Tarnished" is a meeting in the middle. Showcasing a love for Elden Ring, the track's MC, so to speak, is the game's character Morgott, the Omen King, whose menacing vocals saturate each massive drop. The drops themselves pinball between bass house and dubstep, each more heavy and rousing than the last. In a joint post, Seven Lions and Kompany went so far as to announce "Foul Tarnished" as a collaboration with the game character, which garnered exuberant support from fellow Elden Ring fans such as Subtronics. Out now via Seven Lions' Ophelia Records, "Foul Tarnished" follows a somber announcement by Kompany, who revealed a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease diagnosis. Howoever, he has remained busy throughout 2024 with many new singles and milestone performances. Listen to "Foul Tarnished" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

Marshmello's new album, The Roots, marks more than an ordinary return. It's a journey that dares to evoke both the innocence and intensity of his late-2010s ascent while embracing the maturity he’s earned along the way. Mello orchestrates a dance between past and present in The Roots,, spinning a web of euphoric highs and hypnotic lows while threading memories of his meteoric trajectory with modern-day complexity. The album's opener "Just Can’t Stop" sets the stage with an arresting blend of bright, shivering synths and heavy-hitting drums, radiating with intensity that feels like sunlight trapped in sound. He taps Viperactive for another standout, "In The Cut," a riotous, percussion-driven assault on the senses. The track wastes no time, galloping forward with wild trap drops that rise and crash with chaotic grace as Viperactive brings a ferocity that melds beautifully with Marshmello’s polished sound. Elsewhere, "Fired Up," sees Marshmello working alongside Hamdi. He finds a willing co-pilot in the EDM.com Class of 2024 breakout, blending the thrill of UK dubstep with his own brand of nostalgic trap. And then there’s "Bad Boys," an explosive collaboration with Trickstar and the ageless Lil Jon, a track that is a firestorm of barked vocals and weaponized bass. Marshmello’s digitized synths ricochet with a wicked grin, dancing dangerously around Lil Jon’s call-to-arms. It’s a reminder that even in his embrace of nostalgia, Mello isn’t afraid to burn down expectations and build something wild from the ashes. Amid the release, he hasn't forgotten the emotional gravity that music can hold. A glimpse of an unreleased collaboration with Juice WRLD on Kai Cenat's recent livestream felt like a voice echoing through time—a poignant reminder of what was lost and a bittersweet reassurance that their creative legacy remains enduring.
