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.

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.

A group of scientists is exploring an innovative solution that uses personalized music and wearable tech to disrupt stress before it leads to relapse in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Researchers from Washington State University, Arizona State University and the University of Southern California are testing "a new intervention" as part of a study involving music therapy to help manage stress, a primary trigger for relapse, according to WSU Insider. Funded by the National Institutes of Health's Sound Health initiative, the study is leveraging wristbands with the ability to detect physiological signs of stress, such as heart rate and sweat production, to automatically play personalized music playlists designed to reduce tension. The research builds on prior findings that suggest these wearable devices can accurately predict stressful triggers. "We want to take the next step and use those physiological signals to intervene and hopefully keep someone from seeking out alcohol to cope with stress," said Michael Cleveland, Professor at WSU's Department of Human Development. In the first phase, volunteers will wear the wristbands for two weeks and manually log moments of stress, which will help confirm the device's accuracy. The second phase introduces the musical element by requiring each participant to curate a playlist that best resonates with them emotionally. When the wristbands detect rising stress levels, these playlists will be triggered to help ease the tension and stave off cravings. Cleveland emphasizes that this intervention is not meant to replace traditional therapies, but rather complement them to provide an accessible, low-cost tool to manage stress. If successful, the research could unlock a powerful new way for individuals to manage AUD, bringing relief through the universal language of music. "Music has been shown to have a helpful effect on reducing stress," Cleveland said. "Research shows that stress relief is increased when people choose the music themselves. You might think that instrumental or classical music works best, but people generally know what will work for them." NIH is reportedly providing $1 million to cover the study's first phase for a period of two years. Pending positive results, a subsequent phase will trigger another three years and a $1.6 million funding round.

On October 16, 2015, DJ Snake quietly disrupted the dance music universe with ‘Middle‘. But here’s the thing—this wasn’t just another EDM banger. This was a sonic curveball, sliding into our playlists when we least expected it, flipping the script on what an electronic hit could sound like. The mood? Laid-back. The energy? Understated. The impact? Unstoppable. Where most tracks in 2015’s electronic scene were about building tension and delivering explosive drops, ‘Middle’ found power in restraint. It didn’t need to knock you over. Instead, it pulled you in with something subtler—like the lyrical tug of “Staring at two different views on your window ledge.” It’s not a track that begs for attention; it’s a track that lives in your head rent-free, weeks after you hear it. And maybe that’s what made ‘Middle‘ so special. It didn’t just speak to the partygoers in the crowd—it spoke to the dreamers, the thinkers, the ones caught in between. That hook, “I hope we find our missing pieces and just chill,” wasn’t just a lyric; it was a vibe. It wasn’t about losing yourself in a beat, it was about finding yourself in the spaces between the beats. DJ Snake created a track that felt like the quiet between breaths, like the calm when you finally stop running. Sure, it had the sleek production that we’d come to expect from him, but there was something else: emotion. ‘Middle’ gave electronic music a beating heart. This was a song for the 2 a.m. thoughts, for the late-night drives, for those moments when life feels a little too loud and you just need a quiet anthem to get you through. Nine years later, ‘Middle‘ is still a vibe, still fresh, still capturing that magic sweet spot between melancholy and hope. It’s not a song for the crowd—it’s a song for you, for the moment when you need a little reminder that even when you’re stuck in life’s middle, there’s beauty in the waiting. And here’s the twist: ‘Middle‘ was never really about the middle at all. It was about motion. It was about the quiet revolutions happening in our lives, the kind we often miss because we’re waiting for something louder. But DJ Snake got it—and that’s why ‘Middle‘ still hits. Hard. So, throw on your headphones, crank up the volume, and let ‘Middle’ take you back to that space. Nine years might have passed, but the song still knows how to meet you right where you are. Need a reminder that you’re not stuck—you’re just pausing before the next move? Let ‘Middle‘ remind you that there’s nothing wrong with being in the middle. Cue the song, chill, and find your missing pieces.
