Prodigy Artists, the powerhouse music management company behind some of electronic music's biggest stars, has named Eric Bindman its new Director of Operations. Bindman's promotion signals Prodigy's continued focus on scaling up operations and expanding its reach. Founded by Steven Haddad and Will Runzel, the firm represents a who's who of elite DJs and electronic dance music producers, including NGHTMRE, Audien, SLANDER, Grammy-winning producer Bēkon and rising stars like Pauline Herr. Prodigy's accomplishments this past year alone speak volumes: SLANDER's national tour drew over 165,000 fans while Bēkon topped the Billboard Hot 100 as a producer of Hozier’s "Too Sweet," all while Prodigy's collective ticket sales surpassed 380,000. Bringing over 15 years of multifaceted music industry experience to his new role, Bindman is no stranger to the demands of the business. His career spans artist management, publishing, talent booking and touring logistics for Deorro, Two Friends, 3LAU and more. As he steps into his new role as Director of Operations, he’ll now be ensuring the firm’s infrastructure can meet the needs of its rapidly expanding client roster. "I think what I’m most proud of is being able to stand behind the artists that I manage successes," Bindman tells EDM.com. "They’ve all had record-breaking years and genuinely exciting release schedules. Whether they’re mid-album cycle or doing weekend warrior touring, I’m most proud of each artists' success in finding their own path and planting their flags in the sand and deciding what they want to stand for; and I’m honored and proud to play a part in that." Haddad and Runzel also expressed confidence in Bindman’s vision, calling him a "meticulous and skilled artist manager" who is well-equipped to steer Prodigy through an exciting era ahead. When asked about any critical developments identified by Bindman in the dance music space, he points to a paradigm shift for DJs in the live sector. "I think as the nightclub landscape is evolving and moving away from built-in club nights and protected rooms, artists have to evolve," Bindman explains. "As soft tickets become less soft by the quarter, it’s that much more important to double down and develop your core fan base. If fans know where to sonically find you—and programming via festival stage—you’ll be able to foster a devoted fan base that can grow with you." "As the clubbing circuit drastically changes, it’s important to build your hard ticket history," he continues. "Even if it means going from a 1,000-cap nightclub to a 200-cap hard ticket venue, it helps with the artists' career longevity and helps to foster a true fan base. And here at Prodigy, we have been championing building hard ticket tours and helping acts build themselves in this new landscape." Find out more about Prodigy Artists via the company's website.

A Las Vegas resident by the name of James Kay, has filed a lawsuit against the Las Vegas Sphere venue, alleging excessive noise levels that have disrupted his quality of life. The lawsuit, filed in Clark County District Court, targets the Sphere’s operators and Clark County for approving a waiver allowing the venue to exceed county sound limits. Kay, a resident of Park Towers, claims that the Sphere’s loud sound tests, which began in July, have caused significant disturbances, including rattling windows and disrupting peace and quiet. He alleges that the Sphere did not have the necessary permits to conduct these tests and subsequently obtained a waiver from Clark County through a controversial process. The lawsuit seeks damages for property rights violations, noise pollution, and other related harms. Kay argues that the Sphere’s noise levels exceed acceptable limits and negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood. On the contrary, a statement from the Sphere claims Kay is a man known for frequenting legal matters: “Mr. Kay is a litigious individual who has a history of filing numerous lawsuits in different states covering everything from taxes to a refusal to grant him a weapons permit“. The lawsuit reads: “At the time that the Sphere started blasting loud music, the Sphere did not have any governmental approval to do the same and Sphere’s subsequent application to Clark County admitted as such. Thereafter, the Sphere applied for a waiver to the applicable noise ordinances. The Sphere engaged certain nearby homeowner associations and property owners to seek conditions for the ability to blast loud music at certain levels throughout the year (and throughout certain times during the day) with additional decibel levels and timings for 18 or so days throughout the year.“ [H/T] Review Journal The post Las Vegas Man Sues Sphere Over Noise Complaints appeared first on EDMTunes.

Crazy P announce their ninth studio album Any Signs Of Love with the emotive lead single ‘Human After All’. The full album arrives on the 29th of November, via Walk Don’t Walk in association with !K7 Music. Completed earlier this summer, before the passing of beloved frontwoman Danielle Moore, Any Signs of Love is the culmination of three decades of unforgettable live performances, deep friendship and above all, incredible music. With the loss of Danielle, and the outpouring of love that followed, the announcement of Any Signs Of Love, has taken on a profound new meaning. While previous albums including A Night On Earth and Walk Dance Talk Sing, have focused on their accomplished musicianship, and how the tight-knit collective grew in confidence with each new record and live show, Any Signs Of Love is now also a celebration of a remarkable life. Known for her magnetic energy, soulful voice, and the unfiltered joy she brought to the stage, Danielle was not only the heart of Crazy P but also an icon of boundless creativity, community, and love in the electronic music world. This new album serves as both a tribute to Danielle’s life and a gift to the fans who have loved her, danced with her, and felt her spirit resonate from dancefloors to festival stages worldwide. The albums’ 10-tracks also honour an incredible 25 year friendship with fellow bandmates Chris Todd and Jim Baron. From their after-party first meeting in late 90s Manchester, and their first studio session together in Jim’s bedroom, to completing the band with bassist Tim Davies and drummer Matt Klose, disco aficionados Crazy P have come a long way. Over three decades Crazy P have built a devout following, playing the world’s most respected stages including Glastonbury, Love International, Glitterboxx Ibiza, and recently joined Roisin Murphy on tour, all while racking up streaming figures in their millions. On their first album in five years, Crazy P deliver everything fans expect from a band of their stature – whose catalogue has built a loyal, multi-generational following and is equally at home soundtracking sweaty basement clubs, and outdoor raves, as it is on festival stages. Lead single ‘Human After All’, is the perfect introduction – a feel good, sultry groover, bedecked with italo-y arps, Balearic pianos, and Danielle’s captivating vocals. From the anthemic ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Anything’, to the Italo-esque title track, and the psychedelia of ‘Not Too Late’, Any Signs of Love contains all the core ingredients of the Crazy P magic: grooves galore, hooks, and the electrifying presence of charismatic leader, Danielle Moore. Any Signs of Love is a final love letter from Danielle Moore to her fans—a reminder that love remains, even in loss.

In a time when electronic music sometimes seems caught between commercial accessibility and underground authenticity, Fritz Kalkbrenner‘s ‘Third Place‘ is a brilliant link between worlds. Released on November 1, 2024, the album is a careful investigation of what makes public places so essential to our collective experience, not just another compilation of party music. The Changing Character of a Sound Those who know Kalkbrenner’s path from his breakout song “Sky & Sand” (with brother Paul) would approach “Third Place” hoping more of the soulful electronics that made him a household name. They will find, nonetheless, an artist who has both respected his traditions and boldly entered uncharted ground. Inspired by the sociological idea of “third places,” those essential venues where community and creativity collide, the album’s title shows to be more than just smart naming. The first single “Into the Night” is the ideal portal into this changed sound. While Kalkbrenner’s unique vocals give that human touch, which is sometimes lacking in modern dance music, its Chicago house-inspired chords feel both nostalgic and contemporary. The production is sharp and lively, with a groove that strikes a challenging balance between club-ready and emotionally evocative — something Kalkbrenner appears to do naturally. One of the more daring passages on the record, “The Telepath” marks a break from Kalkbrenner’s customary field of influence. Though it surprises long-time listeners, the track’s breakbeat basis is executed with such conviction that it feels more like a natural development than a trend-chasing attempt. Here we can hear how Kalkbrenner’s live performances have shaped his studio work, with arrangements that seem meant for fresh life in a concert venue. Another peak comes from working with Coach Harrison on “Playing Games“. The song seems like a real conversation between artists rather than just including a guest vocalist. One of the most immediately interesting moments on the record, the connection is evident and finds a great mix between artistic integrity and accessibility. Emotional Depth in the Digital Era ‘Third Place’ distinguishes itself from many of its modern electronic releases in part with its emotional intelligence. Thanks to its catchy choruses, “It Ain’t Over” might be gathering streams; nevertheless, under its commercial appeal is a sophisticated awareness of dance music’s ability for emotional storytelling. Every component supports the emotional core of the song; the production never feels overdone. Tracks “High Line” and “Home” with more techno orientation show Kalkbrenner’s fluency in speaking several electronic dialects. These are completely realized visions that highlight his adaptability without sacrificing his unique voice, not just genre exercises. When the drums must strike powerfully, there is always room for melody and mood to grow. Pete Tong’s ear was piqued at BBC Radio 1 by “Fall Between the Cracks,” which explores more house territory and offers some of the album’s most reflective passages. These songs provide reflective areas between the more lively passages in the album’s flow, like natural breaths. The especially remarkable feature of “Third Place” is its production quality. Every painstakingly created sound and well-placed layer reflects Kalkbrenner’s experience. The blend is pure without feeling sterile, therefore preserving that vital human aspect even in its most computerized forms. Evidence of an artist who knows both club sound systems and home listening contexts, the bottom end is strong without being overpowering while the high frequencies shimmer without becoming harsh. Maybe the most amazing feat of ‘Third Place’ is how deftly it records the core of shared experience. From Electric Brixton to the Great Wall of China, Kalkbrenner’s many performances seem to have given him a unique insight into what makes shared musical events extraordinary. Whether in a busy club or on headphones on a solo walk, this record seems meant to help those times of connection. ‘Third Place’ seems in many respects both a new beginning and a climax. It pushes into uncharted ground while building on all that has made Fritz Kalkbrenner a revered person in electronic music. The album strikes a mix between universal and personal while being ambitious without appearing pretentious, and approachable without being shallow. After reaching the kind of success Kalkbrenner has enjoyed, some artists could rest on their laurels; rather, he seems more interested in stretching limits and investigating fresh ideas. The outcome is an album that is both modern and classic, very personal yet generally relevant. While beginners will have an easy access point into Kalkbrenner’s musical universe, longstanding admirers will find enough of his distinctive sound to be recognized. ‘Third Place’ reminds us of the genre’s possibilities for both artistic expression and community building in a time when electronic music could sometimes appear formulaic or too commercial. One of 2024’s most carefully produced electronic albums, it’s a deserving addition to Kalkbrenner’s catalog.

Munchkin Kat is back with a new single, "UZUMAKI," dragging listeners into a twisted realm where glitch-hop and bass music collide. The track's title derives from the work of famed horror manga artist Junji Ito, whose beloved series of the same name was inspired by the iconic fantasy writer H.P. Lovecraft. Ito's surrealist story is about a quiet town that descends into madness when people become obsessed with the concept of spirals. Munchkin Kat beautifully channels Ito's timeless work through a dark and disorienting banger with bass that writhes like a living, breathing entity. The track's relentless drive mimics the inescapable pull of Ito's spirals, each cinematic layer coiling tighter around our ears. Meanwhile, the producer's textured synths eerily glide through the mix while glitchy percussion rattles like bones in a digitized graveyard. To that end, "UZUMAKI" doesn't just pay homage to horror—it becomes horror, transforming Ito's visual nightmares into an auditory blitz that leaves the mind reeling. You can listen to "UZUMAKI" below. View the original article to see embedded media.
