A solid infrastructure of tools for remote collaborative work exists in every industry except audio. While designers have Figma and businesses have Microsoft Teams, the music and audio industry is still stuck in the Stone Age—defaulting to emails and shared drives to collaborate. Now, Muse, a new Zoom-like platform for musicians, makes it possible for creators to effortlessly connect and make music together online in real-time. With users in 174 countries who have already clocked more than 25 million minutes in sessions, Muse is well on its way to powering a more accessible industry where global creators can collaborate from anywhere. On the surface, the Muse app looks similar to popular video call platforms, but it has opened the door to an entirely new way of creating music online. Now, engineers can run remote mix sessions by streaming HQ audio and responding to feedback in real time. Producers can pull in musicians to remotely record instruments directly into their DAW. Built-in features like file sharing, screen sharing, and screen control eliminate the headaches from bouncing between multiple platforms and searching through email threads for the latest version of a recording. “Luis (Caballero, Muse CEO) and his team have created a technology that consistently delivers exceptional video and audio quality, enabling music creators to collaborate effortlessly with our musicians, as if they were in the same studio room,” says Xavier Jameson, Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Musiversal. “Together, we’ve raised the bar and set a new gold standard for remote recording.” Thanks to the Muse Audio Engine, Muse is compatible with all pro audio equipment, allowing users to connect their gear and choose multiple channels from devices. Users can stream lossless PCM 32-bit audio, designed to prioritize stability and faster audio streaming. The new workflows introduced by Muse have not only caught the attention of Akon, but all types of musicians across the audio industry—ranging from young bedroom producers to GRAMMY Award-winning engineers, composers, and producers working with artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar. For Enrico De Paoli, a Multi-Grammy Award-Winning Music Engineer (Ray Charles, Elton John), Muse significantly improved his workflow: “Things that were once impossible have become possible, and tasks that were bureaucratic and tedious have become simple. In short, Muse has been a complete transformation!” Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Muse co-founder and CEO Luis Caballero left his software engineering job in 2018 and split his time between making music and building meme pages to promote his music. As his meme pages grew, studio owner and future Muse co-founder Austin Dunn stumbled across Caballero’s account and convinced him to move to LA to promote music with memes for record labels. While in LA, Caballero quickly realized how difficult it was to make music with his friends back in Oklahoma: “The music collaboration tools in 2019 were unreliable, complicated, and fragmented. We had to patch together multiple apps to recreate the in-person studio experience, and even then, I ​​still couldn’t do fundamental things like record audio or MIDI. I knew there had to be a better way.” Caballero began conceptualizing his idea of Muse and brought it to Dunn who initially said it was “the dumbest idea he had ever heard”…until a global pandemic sent everyone home from studios for lockdown. The need for remote collaboration was more prevalent than ever, and while Zoom was great for regular conferencing, the more intimate and technical experience of creating music together demanded another solution. That’s when Caballero reached out to his longtime friend and business partner, Sung Choi, who was serving in the Korean military at the time. Outside of boot camp, Choi worked tirelessly with Caballero to build the first prototype of Muse. But Choi’s work didn’t stop there, as he went on to build an entire audio engine from scratch (the one used in Muse today) and serve as CTO of Muse. As Muse continues to grow their team, develop more features, and reach their goal of connecting musicians across the world, the music industry is also starting to pay attention. While the magic felt during in-person sessions are undeniably irreplaceable online, Muse acts as a tool in the industry to facilitate more efficient and accessible workflows. For example, A&Rs can now listen to a shared HQ audio stream while on a video conference, artists can watch their engineer tweak a session from their own bedroom, and songwriting camps can make space for musicians from different backgrounds and cultures around the world. Throughout every phase of development and growth, the founders of Muse have preserved their core value of making music accessible, collaborative, and simple: “It can take a village to create great music, but fitting that village into one studio at one time isn’t always possible. On top of that, most people creating music today aren’t in the label ecosystem with access to resources and studio spaces,” explains Dunn. “We are proud to build an infrastructure designed specifically for artists that gives them the tech they need to thrive.” Find out more here https://www.musesessions.co/ The post Muse Sessions allows artists to have Remote Music Collaboration appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Luca-Dante Spadafora is reinventing the iconic hit ‘Looking for Freedom’ with David Hasselhoff, combining it with fresh club vibes. This new edition blends the iconic melodies of the original with driving techno elements, shining a modern light on the spirit of 1989. With powerful kicks, 160 BPM and pounding basslines the remix captures the nostalgic craving for freedom and delivers a party sound that feels like a call for new beginnings and transformation. This version unites music, history and culture while connecting generations. “80s vibes and hard techno – I don’t think anyone expects that combination. It’s two worlds, two generations colliding that couldn’t be more different. But somehow, it just strikes the nerve of our time and makes perfect sense!” – Luca-Dante Spadafora Even though Luca-Dante‘s original desire was to become a filmmaker, he was always drawn back to music. During the pandemic he focused on music production, creating his first remixes, which quickly went viral. By now, he’s unforgettable to fans, especially after his summer hit ‘Mädchen auf dem Pferd’. His signature sound mixes hardstyle, techno and goa elements with powerful kicks and catchy basslines that captivate listeners. With over 500 million streams and more viral hits on platforms like Spotify and TikTok he has secured a strong place in the EDM scene. On TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, Luca-Dante has also built a loyal following with over 400,000 fans. American singer and actor David Hasselhoff is truly a legend in entertainment industry. He is known for his roles in “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch” and his historic performance of ‘Looking for Freedom’ at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate in 1989 made him a musical icon of the Wall’s fall

On this day 29 years ago, Robert Miles released ‘Children’, an iconic track that would become one of the most enduring pieces in electronic dance music. Known for its ethereal piano hook and dreamlike quality, ‘Children’ transcended genres and generations, becoming a symbol of unity, nostalgia, and emotional resonance. The track’s haunting melody has echoed through clubs, festivals, and quiet moments alike, capturing the spirit of an era while continuing to inspire listeners today. Robert Miles, born Roberto Concina, crafted ‘Children’ with a mission to offer peace and reflection. Inspired by his father’s wartime photographs and the tragedies faced by the Italian rave community, Robert Miles sought to create a calming experience amid the intensity of the dance music scene. This dream house anthem, blending tranquility with powerful rhythms, marked a shift in electronic music, showing that dance tracks could be deeply moving and profound. As we celebrate the 29th anniversary of ‘Children’, we honor Robert Miles’ lasting legacy. Though he passed away in 2017, his music lives on, reminding us of the powerful role music plays in connecting hearts and creating timeless memories.

EDC Orlando just wrapped up its 2024 edition, and one common critique among attendees was that the festival felt more crowded than ever. It might surprise you to learn that EDC Orlando has almost twice as many attendees as Ultra Music Festival over its three days. Organizers expected over 300,000 ravers to attend EDCO 2024, while Ultra hosts about 165,000. Whether it was increased attendance or layout changes, there were issues with crowd flow, particularly during times when there were big headliners across multiple stages. Pasquale Rotella, the founder and CEO of Insomniac, the company that produces the Electric Daisy Carnival, wasted no time in making a post to address these concerns on social media. “I know many of you had an amazing time, which I absolutely love to hear. However, I want to address those who felt uncomfortable during moments when the largest crowds gathered. I genuinely hate to hear that some of you faced tight conditions in those areas, and I want you to know that your comfort and safety are my top priorities. To be clear, we do not sell above the permitted capacities for any of our events, but crowd movement can lead to certain areas becoming very crowded, especially during peak moments. While this is unavoidable, we remain committed to making continuous improvements to enhance your experience as Headliners. I’m happy to say that prior to this year’s EDC, we already had plans to expand the footprint for EDC Orlando 2025. This new area will help improve crowd flow in addition to other crowd management strategies to help ease those situations.” – Pasquale Rotella Festival attendees and fans took to social media to express their frustrations flooding both Instagram and Facebook posts. Since EDC’s arrival in Orlando back in 2011, the festival has seen impressive growth. Although Insomniac Events has continually sought to improve the experience through crowd management and logistical solutions, crowd safety remains a pressing issue. In 2025 attendees can expect the festival footprint to expand to an additional area around Camping World Stadium, which should allow the festival to address crowdcrush concerns and improve traffic flow. Perhaps the addition of another stage might slightly reduce the crowds at Kinetic Field, Circuit Grounds, and Neon Garden as well. Right on the heels of this announcement, EDC Orlando announced dates for the 2025 festival and announced that pre-sales will begin on Friday. EDC Orlando will return to Tinker Field on November 7-9 2025 with the expanded footprint. It’s safe to say it will be bigger than ever.

The Media Nanny and Circulate, a pair of renowned creative agencies operating in the electronic music scene, today announced a strategic partnership to expand into the Middle East. From the sandy shores of Egypt to the high-rise cityscapes of the UAE, the genre has been captivating audiences and fostering a vibrant cultural movement throughout the MENA region. The two companies are now capitalizing by opening a new office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to a press release issued by The Media Nanny. "From the first time I set foot on the ground, I’ve felt extremely welcome and inspired by the Kingdom," said José Woldring-Walker, the PR firm's founder and CEO. "We have built a strong track record thanks to the trust from our clients and the successful global campaigns we’ve run with them over the last four years. It’s a priority for us to continue demonstrating our knowledge and expertise by supporting clients who are leading innovation across Saudi Arabia and the MENA region. I believe there is no better city than Riyadh to establish ourselves to service new and existing clients." Headquartered in Amsterdam, The Media Nanny executes press campaigns for a slew of high-profile DJs and dance music entities, including GORDO, Lilly Palmer, The Pacha Group and FIVE Music. Circulate, a digital agency with offices in Dublin, London, Lisbon and Amsterdam, represents Circoloco, Mochakk and Oliver Heldens, among others. The companies have also played a pivotal role in the launch of MDLBEAST, a Saudi entertainment firm perhaps best known for its massive EDM festival, Soundstorm. The event annually attracts over 600,000 people to the Banban Desert on the outskirts of Riyadh. José Woldring-Walker, founder and CEO of The Media Nanny.c/o The Media Nanny A recent spate of high-profile acquisitions and venue openings has established Dubai not only as a lynchpin of MENA's flourishing nightlife sector, but also a leading destination for EDM enthusiasts. The proprietors of the iconic Tomorrowland festival opened a palatial desert resort, Terra Solis, in 2022. A year later, the Dubai-based hospitality giant FIVE acquired Pacha Group, one of Ibiza's most illustrious nightlife institutions, in a deal valued at $330 million. Another fabled Ibiza club, Ushuaïa, expanded to the UAE capital in late-October by virtue of a dazzling concert headlined by Calvin Harris. The International Music Summit, one of the electronic music industry's most influential conferences, is also expanding to Dubai. The gathering is annually in Ibiza but will now head to the W Hotel - Mina Seyahi in November. This growth is being driven by a convergence of factors, primarily a young, tech-savvy population and increased government investment in the arts. To that end, Circulate plans to concertedly spotlight emerging talent in the region. "Our collaboration with The Media Nanny enables us to use our global music networks and experience to the benefit of our partners," said the agency's co-founder Marcus O’Sullivan. "Combined with that, our intention is to attract the very best regional talent to work alongside our existing teams, this will be an unparalleled creative launchpad in the Middle East." Circulate and The Media Nanny plan to open the new office sometime in 2025.

After an almost two-year-long hiatus, Your EDM mysteriously started posting on Instagram again this week. They picked up right where they left off with coverage of festival lineups and EDM news. Yesterday, however, they posted a message from Matt Meadow, the “previous owner and editor in chief of Your EDM,” explaining a significant change for the EDM media outlet.

He reflects back on pivotal EDM moments, including “when RL Grime retired Clockwork at HARD Summer Music Festival,” and “when Destroid got back together at the first Lost Lands,” and “when Daft Punk broke up.” While the EDM community will forever be a part of him, he feels ready to hand over the reins to PLAYY. “I believe that PLAYY. will do right by Your EDM’s followers and continue to provide insightful, up-to-date news, reviews, and more to everyone. I wish you all the best and thank you for the 10 years you allowed me to steer this ship.” -Matt Meadow About PLAYY.

In a surprising announcement, Pitchfork Music Festival confirmed that it will not be returning to Union Park in 2025, marking the end of its longstanding tradition of almost 19 years in Chicago. The festival, which has been a staple of the city’s summer music scene for almost 2 decades, will not take place leaving the fans and the local community in shock and uncertainty. Pitchfork Music Festival, has showcased a mix of indie rock, electronic, hip hop, and experimental music since its inception in 2006. The festival was normally held over three days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in July, in Union Park in Chicago, Illinois. Organized by the online magazine Pitchfork. Their lineup for Summer 2024 included artists Alanis Morissette, Carly Rae Jepsen, 100 Gecs, Jai Paul, and Black Pumas. It’s a tough time for many festivals right now with inflation, stricter regulations, growing competition from other festivals, changing audience tastes, and organizing a successful festival is not an easy feat. For now, the future of Pitchfork Music Festival remains uncertain, but organizers have promised to keep fans updated as they work on new initiatives. While the festival will not take place in 2025, the legacy of Pitchfork’s impact on Chicago’s cultural and music scene will undoubtedly continue to resonate for years to come.

When your songwriting credits include Excision, Zeds Dead, and NGHTMRE, you could easily rest on your laurels. But ASH HALO – the Canadian duo of Sara and Dave – isn’t here for easy. Their self-released single “Vice Versa,” crafted with fellow northerner Save Yourself, is a genre-blending love letter to electronic music’s endless possibilities. The track weaves reggae warmth through hardstyle punch, wraps melodic bass around trap foundations, and somehow makes it all feel effortless. It’s fitting that a song about relationship dynamics comes from a duo who knows them intimately – Sara and Dave’s partnership, both on and off stage, infuses every moment with lived experience rather than studio calculation. Save Yourself (aka Cody Patzer) proves the perfect collaborator, bringing the same boundary-pushing energy that landed him on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records. Fresh off destroying crowds at Bass Canyon and Lost Lands, ASH HALO’s using this self-release to launch an ambitious monthly release schedule through spring 2025. If “Vice Versa” is any indication, the bass scene better buckle up – this power couple’s just getting started.

After running airwaves with “Stumblin’ In” and that massive Disturbed remix, Australian wunderkind CYRIL isn’t resting on his 700M-stream laurels. His latest single “Still Into You” pairs his signature electronic flourishes with rising vocal powerhouse maryjo, crafting the kind of cross-genre earworm that feels destined for playlist dominance. Fresh off his debut U.S. tour and riding high from his versatile “To The World” EP, the Darwin-based producer continues to prove why he’s one of Australia’s hottest exports. It’s a remarkable arc for an artist who once nearly abandoned music altogether – but kept his laptop and guitar close, just in case. That persistence paid off: he’s now diamond-selling, ARIA-nominated, and topping Shazam charts in 20 countries. Enter maryjo, the Cleveland native whose journey from shy bedroom singer to social media sensation reads like a modern fairy tale. Her raw vocal talent – which earned her a duet with Jewel and 14M global streams – gives “Still Into You” its emotional anchor. The track perfectly balances CYRIL’s dynamic production with maryjo’s soul-stirring delivery, creating something that feels both radio-ready and refreshingly authentic.

In a moment that felt like a time capsule straight from 2019, Marshmello has previewed a never-before-heard collaboration with the late Juice WRLD live on Kai Cenat’s streaming channel. The unreleased track marks another poignant chapter in Marshmello and Juice WRLD's enduring collaborative legacy. Mello explained to Cenat during the stream that in late 2019, just days before the rapper's tragic passing, the two had planned to shoot a music video for "Come & Go," a track that would ultimately become a global hit. That song recently hit a major milestone by joining Spotify's billion-stream club. Now, nearly five years later, his latest unreleased preview with the "Lucid Dreams" wordsmith serves as yet another reminder of the close bond shared by the superstar artists. "Come & Go," along with tracks like "Bye Bye" and "Hate The Other Side," have been cemented as cornerstones of Juice WRLD's cross-genre legacy. Hearing more unreleased music adds a layer of bittersweet nostalgia, a reminder of the talent that was lost too soon—and of how his music lives on. Check out the clip from Cenat's stream below.
