Known best for a twisting blend of genres and influences, London-based DJ, Aum, continues to leave ravers tantalised. A unique artist with 10 years of experience and many strings to her bow, she is recognised widely for her captivating fusion of Caribbean heritage and deep understanding of South London’s bass music culture. Aum focuses on community and culture. Beyond her own artistic pursuits, she is wholly dedicated to fostering a platform for marginalised artists. Aum Presents The Electronic Diaspora is a series of events showcasing the talent and diversity of global majority musicians. From amapiano and garage to footwork and dubstep, these events offer a rich tapestry of electronic sounds. This year alone, Aum has curated takeovers at both Glastonbury and Boomtown, further amplifying the voices of underrepresented artists within the electronic music scene. Straight off the back of some exciting international gigs, we jumped into the conversation to find out more… Aum! You’ve had a busy year. Any highlights? The last year has been a bit crazy, my hobby of being an artist has really snowballed. I’ve ended up in a DJ career without really meaning to. I’ve always loved DJing but I don’t think I saw it as being at the forefront of my career. Fortunately, it’s taken over from everything, which is really cool. I started 2024 on The Lot Radio in Brooklyn, New York which was an exciting way to enter the new year. March was a busy month for me supporting Mozey at his headline show in London, as well as AMC at his Adrenaline show, Critical Sound in Bristol, Particle’s album launch, and my debut at Planet Wax record shop, a staple in the London music scene. Another highlight of mine was the What’s On Your Mind panel with Turno. It was an honour to be brought in by him and Grace to talk about my life story and my mental health. That was a massive highlight. It was amazing to sit there alongside such incredible people to talk about our lives and struggles. Dani from Crazy P was on the panel after me and I just couldn’t believe how we were worlds and generations apart, but her story resonated with me so much. Rest in peace, Dani. A memory you will no doubt treasure… She was incredible! She made me feel so peaceful and I was lucky enough to work with her on a few more occasions over the summer. This season I’ve also been travelling about with the Critical Sound family across loads of shows including our Summer Sonics event at The Cause and Noisily Festival. As well as performing with Dillinja and The Valve Sound System this year. We’ve done gigs in London, Bristol and at Boomtown. Which was insane. That was the biggest crowd I’ve ever played to. It was pouring down with rain, I was performing out of a gazebo nearly blowing away in the wind. It was probably the most chaotic, fun and stressful set I’ve ever played. There were over 7000 people there, but I was so glad that I couldn’t see the whole crowd. My nerves were already so bad. I’m a really anxious person, I’m trying to manage that more now. I used to be a singer in a gospel choir and I ended up putting singing on hold because of my stage fright. Whereas I saw DJing as hiding behind equipment in order to perform, but as the gigs became more important to me, they also started to get larger in scale and I’m sort of in the public eye now, I have been very nervous and cautious about what I’m doing on stage. I guess when you’re building a brand up too, people recognise you. They’re coming to see you. Which is great, but adds another layer of pressure? Yeah exactly, but it’s nice too. I’ve just come back from Tenerife after supporting Chase & Status. Playing to different audiences is difficult, especially if you are playing support to an act like Chase &Status but after the sets I performed there, I got a couple hundred new followers, loads of messages, and made new friends too – shout out Nick, Bridie, Rosco, and Lew – It was nice to have good feedback and relieve some of that internal and external pressure. I don’t necessarily need gratification from other people but it is nice in those situations when you’re warming up for such a major artist who are doing so well at the moment. I’d like to say a special thank you to one of my dear friends, Ben, for having me be a part of the line-up alongside Tailor Jae and Sica ria. If you’re looking for a manager check out Ben Carden-Jones! Big up Ben… We all need a little bit of validation every now and then, just so we know what we’re doing is alright. With some gigs, I don’t need that at all because I know the crowd and I know what I’m playing is up their street but I think where I’ve moved to such a heavy jungle sound if I play to a heavy D&B crowd, sometimes I feel like my sound and style gets a bit lost. I have started mixing old school jump up with jungle now to those more drum and bass crowds, I do draw for these tracks to try and engage with that audience more and bring them into my world of music. Old jump up was my bread and butter, that’s what I grew up on- Playaz. Let’s dive into Aum presents: The Electronic Diaspora. What’s the concept? Aum presents: The Electronic Diaspora is an event series and concept that I came up with because, to be honest, I was getting sick and tired of promoters telling me that there are no artists of colour to book. It’s a lie. I was tired of getting into these arguments, whether it’s face to face or on social media, I was sick and tired of butting heads and being told one thing when actually, it’s down to their laziness and people being stuck in their ways. So I started the series, which was sort of a protest in my head but also a nice thing to do because I have so many amazing friends of colour who are artists that I wanted to showcase and platform who I feel don’t get the light shined on them. Or, if they do get booked, they’re getting opening slots when actually, they’re primetime DJs. I wanted to showcase and platform the global majority and marginalised artists. I am a woman of colour. I am of mixed heritage and I’ve had many debates with my friends of colour and my white friends too about the importance of having a much wider demographic performing on stage. Representation is so important, across the whole scene. It really is. There was a festival I went to recently where there was a full female lineup on one of the nights, and there were no women of colour on the line up. That really cut me deep considering the amount of women of colour that started and have contributed to drum & bass, DJ Flight, Kemistry, Jenna G, Chickaboo, Rachel Wallace, and Eva Lazarus, just to name a few. It started from black men and women, then the white community was brought into it. That time and era was amazing. The 90s and the noughties had such mixed demographics on their line ups. I don’t know what’s happened over time. Anyway, there were no women of colour on this line up even though it stated they were representing women in D&B, then I looked around me and I realised I was also the only woman of colour in the crowd too, and I’m mixed race, I’m fairer skinned. I felt so ostracised and isolated. I was upset. Even now talking about it, it makes me feel upset. I wanted to leave that day. From having these strong emotions, I wanted to channel my anger and frustration into something positive rather than arguing about it with people online and in person. I’ve seen people come at it from that angle and it doesn’t do anything. If someone has core beliefs and values that what they’re doing isn’t wrong, and they truly believe they’re not ostracising a group of people, you’re not going to change them by arguing with them until you’re blue in the face. This is a positive and productive way of doing it. You’re literally showing them, rather than telling them, that there are artists of colour that they can book. Exactly. This is why I’m doing it. Starting the club night has been incredible though because I’ve now made so many new friends from marginalised communities, whether that’s the queer community, the black community, the asian community. I’ve actually opened up my roster of friendships because I do feel like I have isolated myself a lot from my black heritage over the years. I moved from London when I was 13 and didn’t move back until I was 18. For 6 years I was in Dorset, which is a really white place. I went from being one of the whitest kids at my school in South London to one of the blackest kids in my school in Dorset, so I ended up being so withdrawn from my heritage, and not celebrating my blackness enough and really engrossing myself in my culture. It’s taken a few years for me to find my feet but it’s been really nice to open up my platform and life from doing this. So, although I’ve had to do the work, it’s been an amazing journey. It’s also opened up so many opportunities for me personally. I want to thank Katie Marshall for giving me a space to host an Aum Presents at Glastonbury, which was incredible. And Dan Tsu at The Rum Shack, Glastonbury is definitely another highlight of my year. I hope the series keeps getting bigger and more recognised. Everything is going in the right direction. Talk to us about some of the artists you’ve booked! Mia Koden came down for the first event, who used to be part of Sicaria Sound. We had Ehua. We had Jamiu who is a close friend of mine, he helped me pick the name ‘The Electronic Diaspora’. We were trying to be careful not to be so ‘We’re black, and we make music, and we’re playing here!’ The Electronic Diaspora is more vague because it’s not about strictly being black or brown, it’s about heritage, What is your diaspora? So yeah, big up Jamiu. My friend AMA came down, she’s a new mummy now too so that’s lovely. Verbz and Mantmast were hosting, two supportive men in music. That is something I want to shout about, there are good men in music. The bad do outweigh the good, in my opinion, and statistically speaking, but there are lots of really good men in music. Jack Workforce for example, goes above and beyond for women in music. He goes above and beyond as a friend and as a mentor. Manchester promoter Rich Reason is another good man in music, doing amazing things for his community and the wider demographic. Dogger too, he’s a great friend of mine and supports me in some of my best moments and worst. I’d like to mention Rob Cracknell and Tom Hoyle for their support this year in all aspects of my career from being on stage to behind the scenes. They have both really nurtured all the business hats I like to wear. Artists I’d love to mention and put the spotlight on are; Peppa Sounds, Chy, Pablo Gyal, Gold Tooth, Sicaria, Salo, Q Sermon, Akira, Missy P, Local Citizen, Rose Bud, and so many more. I can’t wait to eventually work with them all in the near future. It’s important to big up everyone who is fighting for change and actively helping the scene progress in a healthy way. It’s a community effort and I do have so much positive support from the wider white community too, which is great. Something I would like to mention is that I’ve heard too many people saying that the rave is just for music and that we need to keep politics out of it. I don’t actually know what planet these people live on but music has always been a political movement. From the mods & rockers in the 50s and 60s to the hippies during the 60s and 70s in a field dropping acid and smoking to the origins of Glastonbury, these were political movements. It was a statement. House and techno in the early 80s, early 90s in America was a statement for the black queer community to stand up for their rights and their movements, creating safe open spaces for their people. And in the 90s and the noughties, drum and bass and jungle were the same thing, making changes. It was a movement for the black and poorer communities in the UK. So specifically for white males in drum and bass – who are mostly ravers – to go out of their way to tell artists who are living and breathing this community that the dance and industry isn’t the place to talk about politics, I find that frustrating. Telling women off for talking about the lack of diversity is wrong, telling people of colour off for talking about the lack of diversity is wrong. People saying we shouldn’t be doing fundraisers or wearing t-shirts for Palestine and the Middle East. That is literally what our platforms are for. It’s what music was made for. People are almost being drawn away from what raving, music, parties, and gatherings were really for, are what they have been about for many decades, so I want to remind people, educate people and give opportunities to those who deserve them. It’s important to me. Up and coming shows, and engagements…Friday October 18. I have Critical Sound, Fabric 25 at of course Fabric London, the iconic club celebrating its 25th birthday, a venue very close to my heart and career in music. On Saturday 19. I have a guest mix airing on BBC Radio 1 on Charlie Tee’s show, big thank you for having me. Next week I will be making my Berlin debut at a club night called Magma, the location is secret which I find very fitting, I have my all-black outfit at the ready! Over the winter months, I’ll be heading out of Europe and over to Aotearoa, New Zealand with a stop or two on the way so keep an eye out.

SOREN’s status as one of the most promising American acts in the hard dance scene isn’t up for debate. That’s the key takeaway from “AVALON,” a thunderous addition to the Dirty Workz signee’s statement-making series of singles this year. Fittingly billed as “hard dance from the desert,” the Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2024‘s answer to “ON MY OWN” expands his strong musical identity (defined by dark, dramatic melodies; arena-sized sound; and a cerebral and distinctive sense of invention). On it, the Middle Eastern influence that threads “AVALON” and its bright, forward-thinking color kicks add a sense of novelty to SOREN’s inimitable, well-practiced, and immediately recognizable sound. And although the Middle Eastern feel that “AVALON” evokes is stylistically new for the SOREN project, it’s anything but for Bryce Sorensen, the Los Angeles-based producer behind it. “When making this track, I was reminded of how much of an influence KSHMR has always been for me, dating all the way back to when I first started listening to dance music,” he said. “With ‘AVALON,’ I pay tribute to him by imagining what a SOREN hardstyle song would sound like when inflected with the Middle Eastern flair for which KSHMR is known.” “AVALON” is SOREN’s fifth single of the year, following his recent appearances at EDC Las Vegas in May and Ultra Music Festival Miami in March.

Cologne-born breakout Fabian Farell has landed on Spinnin' Records with "Germany & Techno," an electrifying collaboration with Mondello'G and Derb. The trio of producers teamed up with content creator Krys Tha Sis to produce a club roller with a pulse so heavy it feels like the rhythm of a Berlin night. The track swaggers in with a mischievous wink, warping Krys' viral TikTok critique into a sonic weapon. Her voice is masterfully distorted and manipulated into a rallying call that rides atop relentless kickdrums. "Germany & Techno" stomps through with cold, industrial techno beats, but there’s an undeniable humor lurking beneath the surface. The collision of techno purism with TikTok irreverence creates an off-kilter energy, ultimately delivering a dance banger that's as much satire as celebration thanks to its chaotic blend of kitsch and craft.

The Windy City is about to be drenched in the cosmic brilliance of Pretty Lights, who has announced a momentous pair of arena concerts to usher in 2025. The fabled electronic music producer and sampling virtuoso is set to celebrate New Year's at Chicago's Wintrust Arena from December 30-31. The rare twin bill will showcase his signature blend of kaleidoscopic visual production and electro-soul, a mesmerizing combination that has earned him a devoted following over the years. Pretty Lights had remained out of the public eye since the summer of 2018, when he performed for a sold-out hometown crowd at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater. He then reemerged for last year's "Soundship Spacesystem Tour," returning to the stage by virtue of a surreal concert in Denver. Pretty Lights' comeback reached new heights during the ensuing "Soundship Spacesystem 2024 Check Your Vector Tour" as he blazed back onto the scene through a slew of momentous headlining performances, including a long-awaited return to Red Rocks. Now, as that triumphant tour reaches its zenith, he's primed to close it with a grand finale that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. Early access to VIP tickets will be available Wednesday, October 16th at 10am CT on Pretty Lights' website. He'll then host an artist presale the following day at the same time before a general ticket release on Friday, October 18th at 10am CT. Thursday's artist presale will only be accessible to those who sign up for a unique code on the site. In an effort to mitigate bots and resellers, the codes will be delivered by Seated via email and SMS in the hour prior. You can read Pretty Lights' full announcement below.

The Cure frontman, Robert Smith, has fired critics against artists who blame ticketing sites for inflated ticket prices. Smith, a vocal critic of Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” system, made the comments following an investigation into the company’s handling of Oasis’ UK and Ireland ticket sales. Smith expressed his belief that artists should prioritize affordability for fans over maximizing profits. He criticized the use of dynamic pricing, which allows ticket prices to fluctuate based on demand, as a “scam”. He said, “We don’t need to make all this money. My fights with the label have all been about how we can price things lower. The only reason you’d charge more for a gig is if you were worried that it was the last time you would be able to sell a T-shirt“. Last year, Smith successfully negotiated partial refunds for The Cure fans who were facing high ticket prices for their Lost World tour. He emphasized the importance of creating a positive experience for fans and building long-term relationships with them. Oasis, another band that faced criticism over ticket prices, has announced that they will not be using dynamic pricing for their upcoming North American tour. This decision follows backlash from fans who were outraged by the high prices for their UK and Ireland reunion tour. The ongoing debate over dynamic pricing highlights the need for transparency and fairness in the ticketing industry. As artists and fans continue to advocate for affordable ticket prices, it remains to be seen how the industry will adapt to meet their demands.

After diving into the world of Brazilian Phonk on his most recent singles, multifaceted producer, DJ, and violinist THMPSN is now exploring the sounds of UK rap on his latest track, “Riot.” “Riot” sees THMPSN blending phonk aesthetics with a hard-hitting UK rap beat and his signature violin – a combination of elements that make for a raucous, one-of-a-kind listening experience. With towering vocals from UK artist Kris Kiss, “Riot” delivers pumped- up energy via its trunk-rattling instrumental and infectious rap flows. “Riot” kicks off with a propulsive reggaeton drum rhythm before introducing Kris Kiss’ vocals into the mix, who flows perfectly in the pocket of the beat. The track then evolves by adding pounding kick-drums, deep, distorted bass, and an ominous central synth melody – elements that add up to an immaculately produced banger that’s as brooding as it is thrilling. “Riot” marks the fourth release in a string of genre-defying tracks that have positioned THMPSN as a pioneering force in the Phonk scene. Earlier this summer, he dropped “Nicole Aniston,” an official collaboration with Memphis hip-hop legend Kingpin Skinny Pimp, the most heavily sampled artist in the Phonk genre. Named after the adult film star who also recorded vocals on the track, “Nicole Aniston” is a drift Phonk banger that combines the genre’s signature aesthetic with THMPSN’s elegant string arrangements, adding a unique twist to the genre’s soundscape. The “Nicole Aniston” self-directed music video showcases THMPSN’s filmmaking skills in a high-energy montage, starting with a reiki session featuring Nicole Aniston, followed by provocative scenes of women working on cars and high-speed aerial shots of drift car racing, perfectly capturing the drift Phonk vibe of the track.(Watch the official music video here). Next, THMPSN unleashed “VIOLINO DA BRUXARIA,” a dynamic collaboration with Brazilian Phonk vocalists Dragon Boys that blends traditional Brazilian rhythms with dark, atmospheric Phonk elements, creating a transportive sonic journey. The official music video for “VIOLINO DA BRUXARIA,” is a visual accompaniment that evokes the spirit of the Fast and Furious movies by highlighting the symbiotic relationship between Phonk music and car culture. (Watch the official music video here). After that, THMPSN unveiled “Tenebroso,” which showcased THMPSN’s signature style of deep, atmospheric soundscapes infused with the vibrant energy of Brazilian rhythms. (Watch the official music video here). Originally from Australia and now Las Vegas-based, THMPSN’s musical roots are grounded in classical training and international performances, having performed at storied venues such as Dvorak Hall in Prague and Rheingoldhalle in Mannheim, as well as opening the Australian embassy in Berlin and lecturing at the French Conservatory of Music. After moving to the United States, THMPSN gained recognition as a viral content creator, helping build the YouTube channels of fitness icons Bradley Martyn and Calum Von Moger, while simultaneously using their platforms to promote his house music. His own viral violin performances further boosted his reputation. Known for his love of electronic music, violin, fitness, and animals, THMPSN has also immersed himself in the drift car world as an amateur driver, further adding to his unique persona.

Earlier this past summer, ‘Move’ was an addictive anthem of that season and played on various radio stations worldwide. The track, released via prominent German techno and house collective label Keinemusik, had talented house music artists Adam Port, Stryv, and Orso as its producers, as well as the inclusion of singer Malachiii who provided soulful vocals to amplify the atmosphere. Earlier this weekend, Keinemusik released the remix of ‘Move’ and it features the always soothing vocals of Camila Cabello, and also the supporting vocals of reggaetón star Rauw Alejandro as well. The remix has very upbeat Afro-house rhythms that blend beautifully with deep-house and melodic techno sounds.

The Chainsmokers have finally dropped their highly anticipated remix of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” a track that has been teased during their live performances for months. This remix marks a nostalgic return to the duo’s remix roots and the indie sound that initially propelled them to fame. Back to a time when Hype Machine and Soundcloud ruled. The Chainsmokers bring their dance-forward style to Boone’s poignant ballad, taking the emotional original, oiling it up, and giving it their signature electronic, consensual touch. As they embrace a throwback sound, format and platform — Soundcloud — one can’t help but recall the era when unofficial remixes ruled Hype Machine and The Chainsmokers were staples on the charts for their infectious takes on indie hits. Their return to form on Benson Boone’s hit is a very 2015-era move. They kept the heartfelt lyrics about love and vulnerability but added a club-friendly foundation that communicates the same message but lightens the emotional weight of Benson Boone’s melancholic crooning. Drew even tosses in a new verse of his own.

Da Vinci Genius by Sasha On 29th November, dance music legend Sasha returns to Night Time Stories with his latest project – the score to ‘Da Vinci Genius’ – an immersive exhibition celebrating the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, the great Italian Renaissance polymath. His 2016 release ‘Scene Delete’ on the same label, was Sasha as you’ve never heard him before; an imaginary movie score, and an adventurous left-turn for the veteran DJ/producer, who rarely rests on his laurels. Fast forward to 2024, and we have Sasha delving into classical music, combined with the deep sonics for which he’s renowned. He used his experience as an electronic music producer – and movie buff – to re-frame his work, enlisting ‘Scene Delete’ veterans Dennis White, Dave Gardner and Barry Jamieson to assist in this complex task. “I’ve never written music for a project like this before, so it was really exciting and interesting to work with the show’s designers Flora and Fauna Visions (FFV) on this incredible brief. The show is a past-present-future peek into Da Vinci’s mind, presenting a lot of his iconic work, using computers to play around with it, and creating a stunning visual experience. We needed the music to support and enhance that. We wanted to capture some of the atmosphere of those incredible film scores we love, and the modern electronic composers we were inspired by. People like Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, Steve Reich, even Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre. We were inspired by Kubrick’s approach to using classical music in his films, but also the modern film composers like Hans Zimmer, who use classical movements with amazing electronic sounds around them. We also managed to find some beautiful medieval choral music of LDV’s era from a Renaissance composer Josquin des Pres, which inspired some of the more ambient sections. When we started the score we hadn’t seen any of the visual, so had to be guided by FFV’s mood boards. It was a different, challenging way of working.” Sasha A dream-like journey from start to finish, the nuances, atmosphere and melodic layers of compositions such as ‘Mosiac’, ‘Equality’ and ‘Clouds’ are woven into soft melodies and emotive timbres, and are perfectly presented. It’s only with compositions such as the beatific ‘Super Hero (with Sentre)’ and ‘Into The Metaverse’ where Sasha reverts to more familiar sounds. With ‘Da Vinci Genius’, it feels like Sasha is very much at home in unfamiliar territory – revelling in the simply beautiful and undeniably moving music he has created. He recounts, “I really wanted to take something classical but flip it on its head, make it modern. Although the show focuses on Leonardo’s original art, in most points of the show it’s getting messed with electronically. For instance, the Mona Lisa appears out of thousands of digital fragments, and some of his other famous portraits melt into electronic visual glitches. I wanted to frame the show with a classical mood, but then allow electronics to pulse behind it. It was a wonderful collaboration with FFV and I’ve loved doing this.” ‘Da Vinci Genius’ debuted in Berlin in 2021 and then transferred a year later to Amsterdam. The show is set to wow audiences in Florida, USA and India at the end of this year. More details TBA. Tracklisting ‘Mosiac’ ‘Elegy’ ‘Prelude’’ ‘Intro – Homo Deus’ ‘Hands’ ‘Portraits’ ‘Equality’ ‘Clouds’ ‘Machines’ ‘Super Hero’ (with Sentre) ‘Descent’ ‘Zodiac’ ‘Zodiac Pt 2 – Perpetual Dreamer’ ‘Landing On The Sun’ ‘Last Supper – Oxford Suite Pt 1’ (with Ed Alleyne Johnson) ‘Into The Metaverse – Homo Deus Pt 2’ ‘Outro’ Pre-order here The post Sasha drops new score to ‘Da Vinci Genius’ appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

Swedish electronic music producer SAMAKO has taken the cryptic rhythms of military Morse code and woven them into synthwave. Music may be a universal language, but for SAMAKO, it's also a medium for decoding hidden messages. With his new track, "Code (2024 Remastered Version)," the Stockholm-based artist has ingeniously transformed Morse code into a pulsing club track, blending the secrecy of shortwave radio with the raw energy of the dancefloor. SAMAKO says he was able to use WebSDR technology to capture abstruse radio signals transmitted in Morse code by French military "installations," including buzzers and encrypted messages. These signals, which he converted to MIDI using Ableton, became the building blocks of the song. "The shortwave signals from the French installation that were sent in Morse code had a steady beat," he explains. "Since they were pretty clean signals, they translated perfectly into MIDI." From there, SAMAKO sculpted the sound, shaping his production to mirror and maintain the eerie resonance of the original signals. The result is an arrangement of driving arpeggios and dark synths that blend with precision. You can listen to "Code (2024 Remastered Version)" below.

In the lead-up to Ganja White Night's "Wobbleween" event, the dubstep duo is offering fans a unique opportunity to escape into their music by virtue of a no-phone, no-lights DJ set in Minneapolis. The set, the first of its kind from Ganja White Night in five years, promises an experience where the focus is purely on the sound and the atmosphere, stripped of digital distractions. "We haven't done a no phones no lights dark room DJ set since 2019 and this felt like the right time to bring it back, before Wobbleween in a city that has supported us from the beginning," the duo said on X, reflecting on their decision to revive the concept. The growing popularity of no-phone events within the electronic music scene has sparked a wave of spirited discourse from artists, fans and organizers alike. DJ icons like Bob Sinclar, who recently opened up about the isolating effect of excessive smartphone use at live shows, have lamented the devices' tendency to detract from the connection between the performer and the crowd. Ganja White Night's upcoming show aims to foster a collective energy where the music is the sole focus. The 360° setup adds a dynamic element and ensures the sound hits from every angle, while the absence of phones and lights encourages fans to be fully present in the moment. Miami's iconic Club Space implemented a similar no-phone policy for a 24-hour party earlier this year, and artists like Damian Lazarus and James Hype have championed the growing movement toward digital detox in clubs. Ganja White Night's show is scheduled for October 24th at Minneapolis' Granada Theater. You can purchase tickets here.
