Kompany has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, the DJ and producer revealed this week. The disease, also referred to as chronic kidney failure, occurs when the kidneys gradually become damaged over time and can't properly manage their typical functions, like removing waste and normalizing blood pressure, per the National Kidney Foundation. Advanced cases can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal. Kompany, whose real name is Kyle Hagberg, lamented the condition in a statement shared on his social media. The electronic music virtuoso, a gifted producer and universally revered sound designer in the dubstep scene, says the disease has "taken a pretty big toll" on both his physical and mental health, and he may need to slow down his touring efforts as he adjusts. "I'm grateful to have an idea now what's been going on so I can do a better job of taking care of it, but adjusting to this new reality has been hard for me," Hagberg writes. "Music has always been my passion and my outlet, and while I'm still here creating and playing shows, I may need to slow down at times." Kompany performing at Excision's Lost Lands Festival.Andrew Freeman Despite the diagnosis, Kompany has had a big 2024, releasing six singles. The year has also seen him perform at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Amsterdam Dance Event, the world's leading electronic music summit, among other high-profile sets. The DJ also urged fans to prioritize their health and get checked regularly. Early detection might help prevent kidney disease from progressing to kidney failure, per Mayo Clinic. "Please, let my experience be a reminder: take care of yourselves," he added. "Get checked up, listen to your body, and don't ignore things that feel 'off.'"

The bass music titan Zomboy has officially dropped his highly anticipated ‘Dead Man Walking Pt. 2’ EP through his label, Rott N’ Roll Records. After a stellar show at Red Rocks warming up for SLANDER and in the spooky month of October, Zomboy couldn’t have picked a better time. This release continues the story started in Pt. 1 of Dead Man Walking back in July 2022. A Deep Dive into ‘Dead Man Walking Pt. 2’ The EP begins with ‘Fallout,’ a track that gradually builds into a storm of mechanical synths and electrifying elements, setting an intense tone. ‘D.E.A.D.,’ featuring EDDIE, takes listeners on a cinematic journey with video-game-like breakdowns and aggressive basslines. ‘Project Z’ adds gritty synth drops and futuristic vibes, while ‘Delete Me’ channels punk energy through its bass-heavy production. The EP closes with ‘Inhumation,’ a symphonic piece that ends the journey with haunting melodies reminiscent of darker influences. Zomboy’s Vision and Journey Reflecting on the album, Zomboy shares: “After a journey marked by unexpected setbacks, this chapter evolved in ways I never imagined. It’s a labor of love that I’m excited to release” His musical journey began as a drummer in rock and metal bands in England. A horendous car accident that ended with a settlement helped fund his home studio, paving the way for his transition to electronic music. Known for tracks like ‘Terror Squad’ and ‘Like A Bitch,’ he has over 750 million streams and is considered a pioneer in the dubstep scene. With ‘Dead Man Walking Pt. 2’, Zomboy continues to expand his legacy in bass music. This EP is more than a release—it’s a demonstration of his commitment to the evolving dubstep scene.

This is one approach to improving. Apple has recently challenged everybody in the world who thinks has enough coding knowledge, offering a bounty of up to $1 million for successfully hacking its servers, now strengthened with AI. The tech giant aims to improve its security posture by getting some outside help, blatantly asking participants to find their way inside their Private Cloud Compute (PCC) system. The PCC server powers many of Apple’s AI-driven features, including those in iOS 18.1. Apple has released detailed technical documentation and even shared portions of the server’s source code to facilitate security research. Still, breaking in may not be an easy task. However, the rewards are many, and succulent. The company has outlined a tiered reward system, with payouts ranging from $50,000 to $1 million, depending on the severity of the vulnerability discovered: If you’re able to hit upon “accidental or unexpected data disclosure due to [a] deployment or configuration issue”, you’ll get $50,000. Moving up the chain, if you can “execute unattested code”, you’ll get $100,000. Gaining “access to a user’s request data or other sensitive information about the user outside the trust boundary” gets you $150,000, while access to sensitive information about the user’s requests outside the trust boundary gets $250,000. Finally, if a hacker is able to pull off “arbitrary execution of code without the user’s permission or knowledge with arbitrary entitlements”, they’ll be awarded $1,000,000. By incentivizing ethical hacking, Apple hopes to identify and address potential security risks before malicious actors can exploit them. *Cover image credit: Antoni Shkraba [H/T] Fortune The post Apple Will Pay You $1M If You Can Hack Into Their Servers appeared first on EDMTunes.

Google’s latest AI innovation, MusicFX DJ, is changing the game for DJs. This AI-powered tool lets users create and mix music live simply by typing in text prompts like ‘uplifting trance’ or ‘dark cinematic tech house.’ Instead of relying on existing tracks, the AI generates entirely new music in real time by adjusting sounds based on the text prompts. Google partnered with Grammy-winning musician Jacob Collier to refine the tool, making it more accessible and encouraging new forms of musical experimentation for a wider audience. Developed by Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory, Google DeepMind, MusicFX DJ aims to make music creation accessible to everyone, not just professional DJs. It’s a groundbreaking development, but it also raises questions about the future of music and the role of AI in creative processes. Some may argue that it could diminish the value of traditional DJ skills and the authenticity of live performances. To address these concerns, Google has incorporated features typically reserved for experienced DJs, such as control over instruments, tempo, key, and overall mood. Users can collaborate with friends in real-time “jam sessions” and even download 60-second clips of their creations for sharing online. MusicFX DJ builds on the success of Google’s previous AI music project, MusicLM, which generated music from text descriptions. By adding interactive elements and DJ-specific controls, MusicFX DJ takes AI-powered music creation to the next level. You can find out more about MusicFX DJ here and watch Collier utilize the tool below. The post Google’s New MusicFX DJ Tool Lets Users DJ & Mix Music With Text Prompts appeared first on EDMTunes.

KOR Protocol, an entertainment protocol that reshapes how intellectual property is managed, distributed, and monetised has announced that a team of globally acclaimed artists will join the blockchain and AI-powered protocol as advisors. British recording artist and Grammy award-winner Imogen Heap, electronic music icons deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, and Disclosure, and master of multimedia experiences Dixon, whose Transmoderna art collective is known for its immersive live-shows, will help oversee the direction of the protocol and advice on supporting artists, musicians, filmmakers, and developers in protecting their creations and engaging directly with their audiences. Global recorded music revenues rose 10.2% in 2023 to $28.6 billion led by online streaming services, marking the ninth year of consecutive growth for the music industry. Yet despite the undeniable profits made by global megastars like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran, the majority of artists struggle to make a living from their music alone. According to a survey by Xposure Music, just 11% of independent artists earn income solely through their music. A major issue is the low pay-out rates, which can be as little as $0.004 to $0.008 per stream. Additionally, streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music keep a significant portion of the revenue, with record labels also taking hefty cuts, leaving artists with a small portion of the pie. KOR Protocol addresses this imbalance, changing how intellectual property is managed, distributed, and monetized, enabling artists and creators to receive fair pay for their work and engage directly with their fans and communities. Offering a unique infrastructure for creators with a range of AI-powered tools and applications, artists can easily create interactive experiences and release into new products that resonate with global fan communities. Adding such highly regarded world-renowned artists as advisors underscores KOR Protocol’s commitment to empowering creators with next-generation technology—and the best possible direction from leaders in their respective fields. Heap is passionate about creating a decentralized database where songs act as services, giving direct access to all their details. Through her various initiatives, including Creative Passport and Auracles and collaborations with platforms such as KOR, she aims to open new opportunities and revenue streams for music makers, driving innovation in the industry. Electronic music icons deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin, known for their forward-thinking approaches to music and tech, have also previously explored the intersection of music, digital IP, and blockchain, cementing their advisory roles to help drive innovative content creation and fan engagement strategies. Disclosure’s deep connection to remix culture will further help develop KOR’s vision of an ecosystem where artists can co-create and remix content without traditional limitations, reinforcing the platform’s mission to make the creation and management of music IP transparent, collaborative, and fair, and Dixon and his collective Transmoderna will be a leading guide on pushing the boundaries of immersive multimedia experiences, exploring the possibilities that arise from merging electronic music with transmedia art. Inder Phull, Creator of KOR Protocol commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Imogen Heap, Dixon, Transmoderna, deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, and Disclosure to KOR Protocol as advisors. This visionary team of artists are not only leaders in their fields but are passionate about creating new immersive experiences and fair compensation for artists. Under their expert guidance, KOR Protocol can provide the next generation of entertainment ecosystems for creators and fans alike.” Richie Hawtin commented, “Collaborating with such visionary artists under the KOR Protocol is a pivotal step in reshaping the creative landscape. Each of us is driven by the goal to change how music and art can be created, shared, and owned. With KOR Protocol’s network, technology and transparent, ethical AI, we’re building a future where artists and creators have unparalleled freedom and control over their work.” In addition to these artists, Ben Turner, co-founder of the International Music Summit and Association for Electronic Music, and Dean Wilson, CEO of Seven20 and manager of deadmau5, will join the protocol as partners and advisors. Their extensive experience in the music and entertainment industries will help guide KOR Protocol’s development as a comprehensive platform for managing, distributing, and monetizing intellectual property. PIXELYNX, the first developer behind KOR Protocol was acquired by Animoca Brands, leaders in the web3 and entertainment space. From IP registration, licensing, and royalty tracking to decentralized interactive content creation, KOR Protocol enables artists, developers, and fans to collaborate seamlessly shifting the paradigm of traditional IP management.

Following a select fan and festival screening this year, Trafalgar Releasing will show the 4K remastered version of Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto’s 2003 anime masterpiece Interstella 5555 in cinemas worldwide one night only on December 12, 2024.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen, along with accompanying Daft Punk music videos, and we can’t wait to share it with audiences everywhere. Daft Punk and Cédric Hervet developed Interstella 5555, The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem in association with Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation. It chronicles the kidnapping of an alien music band by an evil human figure with sinister intentions. Interstella, which essentially functions as an anime visual album, has the whole 2001 Discovery album by Daft Punk on its soundtrack, featuring classic songs like “One More Time,” “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” and “Veridis Quo.” Says producer of the movie, Toei Animation’s Shinji Shimizu: ‘One More Time’ was playing all over the town at that time! I felt so proud that I wanted to shout to people on the street, ‘We are making its animation now! The movie was split up into separate music videos as a visual album, and until this year it was somewhat rare to watch the whole movie on screens. Discovery: Interstella 5555 Edition Discovery: Interstella 5555 Edition will be launched in limited tangible numbers to commemorate this worldwide occasion. Original Japanese edition artwork, stickers and Daft Club card—which became a genuine collectors’ item upon initial publication—will all be included in this physical edition of Discovery. Five 555 gold vinyl, five 555 numbered CDs, and 25,000 black vinyl will be the limited release items. Get them here. Along with this unique music re-release and movie screening comes a limited-edition merch run including the cartoon band Interstella 5555: The 5tory, centered on the Crescendolls. Originally featured extensively in Discovery’s social content over the summer, “Veridis Quo” is now heard in a worldwide Chanel N°5 advertising campaign headed by Luca Guadagnino and featuring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. From Maluma, G-Dragon, and Jazmine Sullivan to live sets from DJs such as John Summit, the track has also been extensively sampled in music from all around the world since its original release.

Riding high on the success of his viral hit ‘Ascend’, which continues to make waves in the dance music scene, Dezko has just dropped his latest single, ‘Kiss U’. A brilliant new addition to his ever growing catalog, this release marks yet another milestone for the rising star. To celebrate, we had the chance to sit down with Dezko to dive into ‘Ascend’, the pressures of following up on that breakout hit, the thrill of performing his own tracks live, and much more. 1. Hey Dezko, thanks for taking the time to chat with us, how are you doing today? I’m feeling amazing! I’m gearing up for my next show and working on some new tracks that I’m really excited about. 2. Let’s kick things off with your viral hit Ascend. What’s it been like watching that single blow up? It’s honestly such an honor to see people vibing with my music. Ascend has pushed me to work even harder and keep going bigger—it’s been a huge motivator for me. 3. When you were creating it, did you think it would be such a massive hit, or was the success a surprise? I was studying psychology before I went all-in on music. I knew if I focused on it 100%, I could make something happen, so I took the leap and left school. I was hoping Ascend would do well, but I didn’t expect it to blow up like it did—it was definitely a surprise! 4. After it took off, did you feel any pressure to follow up with another hit, or did the next tracks just come naturally? Honestly, being heard has always kept me motivated, so after Ascend, I just felt more inspired to keep going. Making music is what I love most, and I’m finding new connections with it every day. 5. You’ve put out a lot of tracks since then, each with that unique Dezko sound. How important is it for you to have your own style as a producer? Having a recognizable sound is really important to me. It’s amazing when people can hear a track and know it’s mine. And I think there’s still so much to explore with that sound and beyond. 6. What advice would you give to people just starting their journey in music production? It’s a long road, but if you’re committed to learning and practicing, it’s all worth it. The key is to enjoy every moment and stay open to what the art has to teach you. 7. Let’s talk about your new single, Kiss U. How has it felt to see people responding so positively to it? Kiss U has been getting a lot of love, both online and in my live shows. It’s awesome to see people connecting with it in such a cool way. 8. You just had a massive set at Tomorrowland Brasil. How was that? That was unreal! The whole experience was like a dream, and the crowd went all-out during my set. It was such an amazing vibe, and honestly, I’d love to relive every second of it. Brazil really brought the energy. 9. What’s it like to step on stage and play your music for a crowd that knows your stuff? It’s the best feeling ever! Every time I get on stage, it feels surreal. Seeing people react to my songs is something I’ll never get tired of—it’s pure happiness. 10. Which artists influence you the most as a DJ and producer? Avicii is hands-down my biggest inspiration. I love how he could make you feel so much with his music. His melodies really hit me, and he’s always been a huge influence. 11. If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be—in and outside of dance music? I’d love to work with DJs like Camelphat, Vintage Culture, and Rüfüs Du Sol. And outside of that, someone with a super unique voice like Billie Eilish would be amazing. 12. Thanks for taking the time to chat! Is there anything else you want to say to our readers? Just a huge thank you! I’ve got some new songs coming up that give me the same vibes as my early singles, and there are more shows happening in places like Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. It’s gonna be an end-of-year packed with surprises!

Following the success of hypnotc single ‘Cosmic Agogó’, Brazilian DJ/producer BATHKE returns with his best material to date in latest EP ‘DADDY ISSUES’. This bold six-track project is packed with unabashed queer imagery, brazenly confronting themes of control, sex, and freedom while drawing inspiration from French philosopher Michel Foucault. Moments of unfiltered human experiences, centred around power dynamics and paternal relationships, are delivered through a multitude of mesmerising and progressive electronic sounds. The EP reveals a full glimpse of what BATHKE has to offer: emotional resonances and danceable beats that encourage listeners to reflect on societal norms and their own personal connections to these themes. This project cements BATHKE’s place in the electronic music scene as an artist unafraid to challenge conventions and spark introspection through sound. Don’t miss ‘DADDY ISSUES‘, out on all streaming platforms this September. Rodrigo Bathke, known professionally as BATHKE, first swapped his drum lessons with music production in 2017, and GarageBand was the platform that sparked his interest in creating electronic music. He would then go on to explore various other pathways in sound, studying piano and music theory and developing a sophisticated understanding of composition and sound design. Now, he stands as a rapidly emerging DJ and producer drawing inspiration from a broad spectrum of genres, including jazz, techno, and ambient music. BATHKE is more than just a project; it is Rodrigo’s artistic expression—a platform where he creates music that forges forward-thinking and defiant sounds with deep emotional undertones. As a Brazilian performer, he has made a mark in the local music scene of Curitiba, performing at various events and building a reputation for his sets. With his latest project, ‘DADDY ISSUES‘, BATHKE takes a bold and complex leap in his artistry. To stay updated on what’s next from this BATHKE, fans can use the links below. Listen / Stream / Download https://ditto.fm/daddy-issues-bathke GETTING TO KNOW BATHKE : INTERVIEW Introduce yourself and your project I’m Rodrigo Bathke, but I go by BATHKE professionally. My journey in music began in 2017 when I traded my drum lessons for music production, with GarageBand sparking my passion for creating electronic music. Since then, I’ve explored various aspects of sound, studying piano and music theory, which helped me develop a more refined understanding of composition and sound design. Today, I’m emerging as a DJ and producer, drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres like jazz, techno, and ambient music. BATHKE is my artistic voice—a space where I create forward-thinking, emotionally charged music. As a Brazilian artist from Curitiba, I’ve become part of the local music scene, performing at different events and building a reputation for my sets. My latest project, Daddy Issues, marks a bold and complex evolution in my work, it dives into the complexities of power dynamics, reflecting human experiences where sex is used as a tool to unlock repressed emotions. In this 6-track EP, I aimed to challenge conventions and explore the full spectrum of human sexual experiences. The provocative title, “Daddy Issues,” captures the essence of the album and serves as an invitation for listeners to engage with delicate and often underestimated themes in society. Explain what musical genre fits you best I would say that I move across different musical genres. I really enjoy composing danceable old-school house, but I also love soft synth melodies paired with strong techno beats. Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you? I remember being a kid and getting obsessed with specific songs, listening to them repeatedly on my Discman and later on MP3 players. I would just get lost in a trance with my headphones on—it was so comforting. Later, when I discovered the work of self-taught producers like Arca and Grimes, it inspired me to study music as well What kickstarted your music career? Honestly, I was working in corporate business and started having a lot of anxiety attacks, and producing music became an outlet for those episodes. It reached a point where I made the decision to create music projects and perform in the nightlife scene in my city—and that’s how it all started. Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time It’s funny to look back at some of my older projects and see how my sound has evolved. One of the biggest changes is having a clearer direction for the music I’m creating, along with a better understanding of musical genres, tones, and beats that work well together. Another key aspect is mixing—knowing which instrument will take the lead and which others will play a supporting role, and how to blend these ideas so the music comes across clearly and with purpose. For the Daddy Issues EP, I had a clear vision in my mind for each track, and that made the composition process much easier. I knew which songs would be more danceable and which ones would be more introspective, and that really added to the overall concept of the album. Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers? I would say to let go of self-criticism and perfectionism, and just allow yourself to create. Usually, ideas flow much more freely without pressure. Also, writing down your ideas helps a lot, and over time, those ideas come together to form something meaningful. That’s when perfectionism can be useful—to refine and elevate the work. How do you nurture your industry relationships? Two important people in my career, who are now friends, are artists I met through the internet and the local scene. We shared common ideas and goals, and that was crucial in organizing local events and helping with the creation of my music. Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey? I’d like to thank my friends who encouraged me to pursue my art and had to endure listening to my chaotic early demos at the beginning of it all, lol. Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you + Youtube links Halcyon and On and On – Orbital It’s pure ethereal electronic music, make me feel serene and powerful at the same time. Vogue – Madonna Iconic queer anthem, it says so much about freedom to be yourself. El Bandido – Nicolas Jaar Incredible production, contemporary house rhythm with disco touches—a total vibe! What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software? I’ve been really into the Circuit Tracks lately. It’s a sequencer with built-in synthesizers that allows me to upload samples. It’s perfect for taking to different places and stimulating creativity away from the computer, as I can create nearly an entire song on it. I also want to start using it in live performances! Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel My favourite club has to be KitKat in Berlin. The atmosphere and decor are simply amazing. I love how people feel free and comfortable there, away from their phones—it’s really captivating. You can enjoy yourself in whatever way you see fit, and it’s truly an unforgettable experience. Name an outlandish rider request? Give me 10 puppies before the show, and I’ll perform 10 times better lol! Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve? A recent memory that’s among my favourites was Arca’s performance at Primavera Sound São Paulo. It was the first festival I attended right after the pandemic, and if you know Arca’s sound, you don’t really know what to expect. The heavy industrial beats followed by soft, cute melodies completely disarmed me, and I felt like I was floating. She even ended the performance with a song by a Brazilian artist, which made it truly memorable. What famous quote represents you best? Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. -Oscar Wilde If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why? I’d love to play at KitKat Berlin. There’s something special about Berlin’s clubs that makes people feel incredibly comfortable. I think it’s the fact that cell phones aren’t allowed—people are fully immersed in the moment and the music, and that creates a unique vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere. Music is….. (explain more) Music is energy; you’ll notice there’s always a song that fits any feeling you’re experiencing. If you’re feeling sad, play a sad song and it will help you process that emotion. If you’re excited, a dance track will elevate your energy even more. It’s powerful enough to shift our emotions and senses. One song you really couldn’t live without and why? This was a tough one, choosing just one, but I think I’ve decided. “Six Blade Knife” by Dire Straits. I think it has a timeless vibe, something I could listen to at any moment, whether I’m having my coffee or driving down the road. It’s chill but deep, and I think that represents me well. Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present) Nicolas Jaar Noporn Lana del Rey Honey Dijon Sophie What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire? My Dad had and old Vinyl record player in his office, one of my earliest music memories is trying all the different records and dancing to them in the room. I think that’s where my connection to music really began. Later on, discovering about electronic music and the possibility of creating sounds with just a computer inspired me to dive deeper into production. It fueled the fire in me to create my own music and explore sound in a way that felt personal and transformative. Tell us more about your plans for the future I’ve been working on my next project, and without giving away too many spoilers, I can say it’s going to take a very different approach from my last EP. It will have a western vibe, with organic sounds and a lot of groove. Expect retrofuturistic cowboy, I’m very excited. Any worldly advice you’d like to share? Be safe, enjoy life, trust the process and stay curious. Allow yourself to grow without being held back by fear or judgment. The beauty of both is in the exploration and in how we connect with the world and with ourselves along the way.

Patrick Topping, the celebrated UK DJ and producer, just pulled off something that had many in the scene doing a double-take: a sold-out, alcohol-free rave. In an era where club culture is often intertwined with drink and aftereffects, Topping took a bold step by launching his very first sober rave event. The move wasn’t just a hit; it was a groundbreaking shift in the rave experience, and Topping couldn’t be more thrilled. Breaking Boundaries With A Sober Rave Concept For Topping, this event was more than a party—it was a statement. “Some people thought I was mad for starting an alcohol-free event,” he admitted, recognizing that the idea of a sober rave could seem out of place in the Dance music world. But Topping’s instinct told him there was a demand for it, and he was right. The event sold out quickly, with an atmosphere he described as “insane”. The night proved that sobriety doesn’t equate to a lack of energy or passion on the dance floor. A Rave for Every Kind of Raver The crowd that night was a vibrant mix: fitness fanatics, those on a sobriety journey, and many who were simply “sober curious” and looking to shake off the usual post-party regrets. Topping found it “amazing to see the energy and everyone proper going for it!”. His interactions with attendees highlighted how meaningful the event was for those there; he even had the chance to connect with people who shared powerful sobriety stories. For many, the option to attend a rave without the pressure of drinking was refreshing, while others were glad to have a space where they could fully enjoy the experience without risking their recovery. The First of Many? Topping’s enthusiasm for the event’s success was palpable. “I was so nervous for this, but I had a massive feeling it would work and thankfully it did. I’m f*kin buzzing!”, he shared. The night was so impactful that he’s already planning the next one, hinting at a potential “Dry January” event to keep the momentum going. For Topping, it’s all about creating a “proper” rave environment that’s true to his high-energy vibe, minus the booze. And as he promised, more info on the next event is coming soon. As sober raving gains traction, Patrick Topping’s venture could be the spark that lights a new path in nightlife, offering an experience that’s both high-energy and hangover-free.
