Though they say it is the craziest thing we have ever done musically, we had a great time doing it.

Summertime Sadness (Cedric Gervais Remix) – Lana Del Rey The original track was released in 2012 on Lana Del Rey’s ‘Born To Die’ album and saw very good chart success as it would reach number one in Poland, Ukraine and Armenia. However, it was the following year where the track would take on a whole new life as a massive house hit when Cedric Gervais put his spin on it. The remix was a huge success for both Gervais and Del Rey as it became Lana Del Rey’s highest ever charting track in the US reaching number 6 and earned her much more worldwide recognition. Meanwhile Gervais would earn a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording in 2014 for his take on the song.

He effortlessly blended his big room house style with this very heartfelt and emotional piece of music to create an unforgettable masterpiece that can amp up hundreds of thousands of people while hitting them right in the feels. Pompeii (Audien Remix) – Bastille Back at the start of 2014 Audien was still relatively unknown, but by the end of the year his name was inescapable. After releasing his remix of ‘Pompeii’ on Soundcloud in January, it absolutely took off and became the most played song at both Electric Daisy Carnival and Coachella that year. The song oozes mainstage festival energy with a wonderfully uplifting feel to it that earned Audien the respect and attention he deserved, and it has now gone on receive over 40 million streams on Spotify. Can’t Feel My Face (Martin Garrix Remix) – The Weeknd It’s rare to see Martin Garrix release remixes nowadays but in first half of the 2010s he was pumping them out with the standout being his crowd bouncing remix of The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel My Face.’ This song was always a highlight of his sets that helped to propel Garrix to stardom as the following year he would go to number 1 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s list. Since its release the track has received over 65 million streams on Spotify. American Boy (Brooks Remix) – Estelle, Kanye West Brooks has made a long list of amazing remixes including his take on ‘Scared To Be Lonely’ and recently remixing Martin Garrix’s new song ‘Told You So.’ But, undoubtably one of his best came back in 2019 when he threw his talents at the absolute classic ‘American Boy’ by Estelle and Kanye West.

Last year Creamfields introduced the astonishing ‘Zenless’ stage which provided some incredible visuals and pyrotechnics while playing host to the likes of Martin Garrix, Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren. Now for 2025 they’re kicking it up another notch with the introduction of the ‘Halo’ stage which looks to be an impressive concept that will continue to bring this legendary festival into the future. ‘Halo’ will be taking the place of the ‘Runway’ stage which while a very cool design, looks like it won’t hold a candle to the new 360° immersive experience of ‘Halo.’ The concept images show that this will be an outdoor stage with a circular structure surrounding the whole thing with state of the art lighting that will be able to create some breathtaking visuals. With the DJ right in the middle with yet more lighting above them it looks to be a stunning experience where once inside the structure there’ll be a light show whichever way you turn. The announcement of this new stage has come alongside the unveiling of ‘Downtown’ which is another new concept for 2025 and is an area that’s going to have activities such as football and mini golf, entertainment, makeup and styling areas, and even hot tubs. Creamfields is always updating which is why it remains one of the biggest festivals in the world and 2025 is looking like another huge step forward for them.

Electronic music legend Steve Angello has generated fierce conjecture over his future in the business following a mysterious Instagram post revealing his intentions to “embrace more isolation” in 2025. The declaration made by the Swedish House Mafia member and SIZE Records manager comes at a time when the electronic music scene is under more scrutiny for how it handles artist welfare and sustainable traveling policies. In his meditative speech, Angello considered his 25-year career and characterized it as running “full throttle—never stopping, never resting.” Deeply ingrained in the electronic music scene, many fans and fellow musicians have supported his choice to give mental health and creative rebirth top priority. The announcement seems to indicate strategic repositioning rather than retirement. Angello’s concentration on using solitude as a tool for artistic expression points to a change in emphasis rather than a leaving from the business. Indicating possible future releases, he said, “more silence, more stillness, and in turn, more creative expression.” Industry watchers have pointed out similarities with other well-known artists who have lately followed the same actions. “They deserve the break, just like GRiZ is doing and Maiden kinda did this last year,” one Reddit member observed. Often, these pauses have produced creative regeneration rather than career termination. Given the industry’s continuous discussion on artist well-being, Angello’s announcement timing is especially moving. Modern touring‘s rigorous nature has come under further criticism as performers like Steve Aoki allegedly use to “power naps” to keep their exhausting schedules. One fan’s comment, “Touring all year long is never sustainable,” captures a rising awareness of the psychological and physical toll of continual performance. Angello‘s choice also raises matters regarding the direction in which the Swedish House Mafia is headed. Although some may be worried about this statement, it’s interesting to note how carefully and strategically Angello’s approach to retreating seems. He is looking for what he describes as “clarity” alone, not a total detachment.

Insomniac Records closes out 2024 with a compilation that shows exactly why they’ve become such a force in electronic music. Their 25-track ‘Best of’ collection captures what the label does best: releasing music that works both on massive festival stages and in intimate clubs. BLOND:ISH’s “Never Walk Alone” stands out as a perfect example. The track pairs Steve Appleton’s vocals with a groove that’s helped it rack up 17 million Spotify streams and land coverage from BBC Radio 1 to KISS FM. HUGEL and Diplo’s “Forever” brings similar crossover appeal, topping Beatport’s Afro House chart while finding its way into Billboard and Mixmag. The label’s grown beyond its original scope too. Their new publishing division and studio complex at Insomniac HQ point to bigger ambitions. Between the main imprint and sub-labels like Factory93 and HARD Records, they’ve put out over 700 tracks this year from artists spanning the electronic spectrum – from Boys Noize’s raw techno to Miss Monique’s progressive house. Their festival presence has expanded naturally, with label stages at EDC Vegas, Beyond Wonderland, and even their cruise festival EDSea. The Discovery Project keeps feeding new talent into the pipeline, with artists like Illenium and Seven Lions helping judge the next generation. Insomniac Records has built something solid here – a label that can push both streaming hits and underground heaters without losing its grip on either. That’s harder than it looks.

Bass music fans are rallying to support New Orleans in the wake of the tragic New Year's Day truck attack, organizing a special electronic concert to raise crucial funds for victims and their families. On Friday, January 10th, bass music star Boogie T will headline "Nola In Need," a special benefit show at ARORA NOLA. The concert aims to bring together the local community and electronic music lovers from across the country in a show of support and solidarity. With Boogie T leading the charge, the event is set to feature some of the city's best electronic music talent, all united by the common goal of helping those affected by the tragedy. All door proceeds will be donated to the New Orleans New Year's Day Tragedy Fund, a resource launched to provide assistance to the families of the victims and those seriously injured or impacted by the attack. 14 people were killed in the terror attack on the morning of January 1st, when a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd during New Year's celebrations on Bourbon Street, CNN reported. The perpetrator, a 42-year-old Army veteran who had an ISIS flag in the vehicle at the time, was killed in a firefight with officers, the FBI confirmed in a press release. Tickets to "Nola In Need" are on sale now. You can also donate to the Greater New Orleans Foundation's fund here.

We’re a week into 2025, and it still feels like Christmas morning! Lane 8 has delivered a delightful surprise with three new tracks from his Childish(ish) EP. Fans of the This Never Happened label are in for a treat, as the gift of exceptional music keeps coming. After an amazing ProperNYE B2B set with Sultan + Shepard, this is the perfect way to kick off the new year. Don’t miss out—stream Childish(ish) now on all your favorite platforms and experience the magic for yourself! Childish(ish) EP Childish(ish) kicks off with ‘Walk The Plank’. A captivating dark techno track that you might recognize as ID 9 from the latest Winter 2024 Mixtape. Fans first experienced it live at Proper NYE earlier this month. Daniel even teased this track at the conclusion of his nine-day video. Its vibe aligns closely with tracks like ‘The Little Mushroom That Got Away’ or ‘Rave’ making it an exciting addition to Lane 8’s evolving sound. What is Lane 8’s new direction? This EP represents a meaningful shift for Lane 8 Childish(ish) evokes themes of innocence and freedom, reflected in its bright melodic structures and upbeat tones. The tracks take on a lighter, more carefree essence, embracing experimental sounds that invite listeners to lose themselves in the music. ‘Left Hand’ also known as ID 5 from the Winter 2024 Mixtape, is another remarkable standout that underscores this new direction. The production on these tracks is brilliantly minimalist, honing in on catchy rhythms and playful synths that make the melodies truly stand out. This approach eliminates unnecessary heaviness, perfectly embodying the Childish and Childish(ish) concept. Notably ‘First Light,’ the hidden gem from the Childish vinyl, has been officially released by Daniel for everyone to enjoy. It’s a gift for those who missed the vinyl edition. This track showcases innovative sound design, skillfully blending electronic textures with organic elements to create a captivating auditory experience. ‘First Light’ powerfully evokes emotions, capturing the essence of new beginnings and the promise of a fresh start, making it an exceptional highlight of the EP. I’ve completely worn out my repeat button listening to these tracks all morning—they are simply irresistible! Childish Tour The anticipation surrounding a new album often leads to an exciting tour announcement. Daniel revealed his Childish tour late last year. It’s kicking off at the end of February and stopping at 16 vibrant cities across North America. Don’t miss out—the March 1 show at Roseland Theater in Portland is already sold out!

It’s officially 2025, which means it’s just weeks away from Groove Cruise 2025. Not only is it one of the first music festivals of the new year each year, but it has become an annual retreat for thousands that flock to Florida to escape to a magical fantasyland called Groove Cruise. Whether you’re a first-timer virgin or you’ve been on Groove Cruise before, we compiled a list of things to know before you go, so you can be ready on January 23, 2025. People don’t f*** around with the themes You may be one of those people who doesn’t really enjoy costumes and doesn’t really get into themed parties. I get it and I’m one of those people too. Just know that on Groove Cruise people take the daily themes VERY seriously, and this can be the one place where you let go and join in on the fun. Think about it, Groove Cruise is a fictional place that only exists for a few days a year. This is a place where you can completely let go of any inhibitions and live your best life. The only time your fellow cruisers will look like normal people is on the final day when you’re getting off disembarking the ship. You don’t have to do them all, but go on Amazon and buy a few $20-$35 costumes. You’ll be shocked at how far people go with it. In 2024 there was a decades theme, and one group of people all went as some decade from the 1800s and it was hysterical. Start planning it out now, and don’t worry about space in your luggage because you aren’t paying by the bag anyway. If you’re unsure about the represent theme…. First-Timer = Virgin So Groove Cruise is full of lingo and inside jokes. At first, it all seems cheesy af, but by the end, you’ll be in on the joke and won’t care. If this is your first Groove Cruise, you’re a VIRGIN! On Day 1, you’re expected to board the ship wearing a color based on the number of Groove Cruises you’ve been on, your hometown, your home country, or whatever you want. Virgins wear white, but you don’t have to feel embarrassed. On the contrary, when people see virgins on Groove Cruise they go out of their way to chat you up, fist bump, high five, offer you a shot, and they will 100% tell you how many Groove Cruises they’ve been on and how much they love it. Wear your white proudly and make a dozen or two new friends throughout the first afternoon! Even after the first day, anybody you meet will ask you how many groove cruises you’ve been on – so the good vibes continue for the whole trip. Also, you’re officially now part of the GCFAM. Artist Experiences Besides all the DJ sets there are all these cool artist activations that make Groove Cruise unique. Whether it’s a dinner, Mario Kart, or a zipline, doing these activities with a DJ you admire is pretty cool. Even if you don’t want to spend the money on a specialized artist experience, the best thing about Groove Cruise is that the DJs are on the cruise with you. It’s their vacation too! You can have a real conversation and hang out with some of them, see them in the gym. You’ll run into them multiple times at various places. They’re regular people too, you know. GOOOOOOD Morning Groove Cruisers!! Groove Cruise is full of ravers representing the full spectrum of activity levels and ages, but it skews towards more experienced ravers. That being said, the party is going on 24/7 if you want it to be. Some people may stay up till sunrise each day and others might hit the hay early. Groove Cruise doesn’t want you to sleep through all of the fun or be unaware of the activities for the day, so each morning you are greeted with a “GOOOOOD MORNING GROOVE CRUISERS” over the ship’s PA system (which pipes into your cabins btw). Groove Cruise’s fearless leader, Jason, will make sure you’re awake and then give you a walkthrough of the day’s activities. Sometimes they’ll play music, even a track specifically produced to be annoying that tells you to “wake the f*** up” for a solid 5 minutes before the announcements begin. It is quite literally the clarion call of GC, and it will annoy you and amuse you in equal parts. It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint As mentioned above, Groove Cruise is a 24/5 party, so you could party all the way through and make it a 4.5-day bender. Don’t do this. Luckily, most Groove Cruises are experienced partiers who know their limits, so you won’t see hooliganism or bad vibes. The parties are omnipresent, much like the food, drinks, and bathrooms. You can dip in and out at your leisure, and GC is designed for people to bop around to all the stages pretty frequently. It’s not your standard festival where everybody is crowding the main stage, although there will be a few sets like that for sure. The set times will be dropping any day now, but don’t stress and plan as obsessively as you would at a normal festival. You’ll be able to check out every single set for a moment if you want to because you’re fully available and they’re all just a few minutes away from eachother. This year there will be twice as many stages as last year (!!) and there will be four main stages (aqua theater, solarium, theater, pool) instead of two (pool and theater in 2024). Don’t be shy, go grab a plate of pizza and bring it to the party with you. Plan for breaks, chill time, and sleep in your schedule. Wake up and hit that breakfast buffet, get into your day theme and a swimsuit, and hit the upper decks. For 2025, the typical pool deck stage will be moved to the very back of the ship at the amphitheater. After the day rager, I always planned a nice 1-2 hour nap around sundown before dinner. Then after dinner go stage hop for a while. If you’re gonna make it a late night or all night then take a breather somewhere in there. Check Out Whet Oasis One of the underrated aspects of Groove Cruise that is returning to form in 2025 is the Whet Oasis. This is the chill-down zone complete with comfy pillows, massage guns, and more. When GC took place on Celebrity ships, the Whet Oasis was placed in the Solarium pool area. This was a 24/7 pool area covered with a skylight so you could see the sky without feeling the elements. Better yet, the area had a heated freshwater hydrotherapy pool and hot tubs. To make some magic here, Groove Cruise set up a DJ table at the pool where a DJ would play chill and spiritual house. The DJ table was also filled with candles to create a super relaxed vibe. In 2024, the Norwegian Encore did not have a solarium, and Whet Oasis was moved to an observation lounge with no pool. For 2025, Whet Oasis returns to the solarium on Allure of the Seas, hosted by Drishti Beats. There will be sound healing, meditation, yoga, live music vinyasa, a transformational dance party experience, a world house DJ dance party, glow in the dark spiritual house party, and more. Do yourself a favor and plan an hour or two of chill time at Whet Oasis in between sets each day and you will thank yourself. Once you’ve festivaled with this creature comfort, you’ll struggle to ever go without it. Elevators are more fun than useful, take the stairs in a hurry Allure of the Seas is a BIG ship, the 2nd largest ship class in the world. However, the GCFAM will now be bigger than ever in 2025. Do yourself a favor and explore the ship early on before the party takes hold so that you have a general understanding of how to navigate. With so much going on at all areas of the ship at all times, you should expect the elevators to be a madhouse most of the time. On most cruise ships you a few decks in the lower part of the ship with entertainment and food options, and then you have a few top decks with more venues. All the decks in between are cabins. This is a roundabout way of telling you that you will wait for elevators, they will be full, and they will stop at almost every deck on the way up (or down). Unless you’re traveling more than 5 decks, you’re probably better off taking the stairs. However, you’ll undoubtedly make a few friends in the elevators as everybody will chat you up, ask about your experience, ask you what set you’re headed to and hand out PLUR goodies. You will probably also take an elevator at least once where somebody is wearing a DJ controller and a speaker while mixing live as they walk from place to place on the ship. Yeah, it’s that kind of place. PLUR Still Exists Here Remember PLUR? Peace, love, unity, and respect was the EDM mantra when the golden era of EDM began in 2010. For a variety of reasons not worth getting into here, that pretty much went away. On Groove Cruise, PLUR is alive and well, and not just because many of the GCFAM were raving in (or before) the golden era of EDM. People will come onboard with special stickers or glowsticks or friendship bracelets or whatever and hand them out to people. People will chat you up and befriend you wherever you are. On three Groove Cruises so far, I’ve yet to have a negative interaction with anybody. Everybody is in the best mood they’ll be in all year and you’ll feel it. See a Sunrise On the Allure of the Seas, it’s sometimes easy to forget that you’re at sea. It’s a massive ship with some interior spaces that look like you’re on land. That being said, don’t pass up the opportunity to catch those gorgeous sea views. Make sure you’re out on deck during golden hour for some breathtaking views. Better yet, you’re on a cruise with DJ shows going all night, so stay up and catch a sunrise that is equally as gorgeous as the golden hour. You can be sure no other cruise will give you that opportunity unless you’re waking up early for a morning jog. Catch a sunrise set, go grab a plate of breakfast buffet, and come back to finish the set or get some sleep before the afternoon sessions begin. Get Prepared If you plan on drinking, get the drink package and get it now. It’s much nicer to grab a drink every single time you pass by a bar than worrying about how much you’re spending per drink. You’ll get your money’s worth, trust me. You can repurchase these through Whet Travel until tomorrow, then you have to purchase them on day 1 of the cruise. If one person in the cabin wants, everybody must purchase (annoying we know). If you want internet at all you need to purchase the relatively pricey package from the ship. The ship does have an app with some level of free messaging, but it is only through the RCCL app and it’s pretty wonky (not the best). Turn off roaming on your cell phone and maybe even disconnect your regular cell service unless it’s an emergency. Cell phone calls and texts will cost a fortune so just let it go for a few days. If you need to keep in touch with your people onboard try walkie-talkies if you don’t want to shell out for the internet packages. Lastly, Groove Cruise now has an app you can download for iPhone and Android so you can get the ship layout, schedule, and more all in the app. Pack your theme costumes, your sunscreen, your swimsuits, and your most positive vibes. Get ready for a life-changing experience! The post Groove Cruise 2025: Know Before You Go Guide appeared first on EDMTunes.

John Summit's annual takeover of The Caverns, the beloved subterranean concert venue in Tennessee, will not take place in 2025, he announced Wednesday. The event debuted in 2023 by virtue of a remarkable sold-out "cave rave" before expanding to a two-day affair in April of the following year. It's organized by the production team behind Summit's Experts Only imprint, which was recently named 2024's best record label in EDM.com's list of the year's top industry leaders. Summit's decision to postpone the "Caverns Weekender" aligns with his reveal as a headliner of the 2025 Bonnaroo festival, which is scheduled for June 12-15 in Manchester, roughly 80 miles north of the venue in Grundy County. "no caverns this year, was a tough decision but being a bonnaroo headliner is an amazing opportunity i can’t pass up and i need to give my full attention to delivering the best show possible there," Summit said in a post on X. The house music superstar did, however, add that that his Experts Only team is working on "finding a new location for EO destination this year." Summit's Everything Always bandmate, Dom Dolla, was also revealed as a Bonnaroo headliner this week. Other headliners include Justice, Glass Animals, Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier, Avril Lavigne and Tyler, The Creator. You can view the full lineup here.

Have you ever seen a photograph so striking, you could almost hear the world within it? What would it sound like? Krotos has now launched AI that generates custom audio based on an uploaded image, claiming it's the "world's first" tech of its kind. The company's Ambience Generator v2 allows users to upload a photo, including images like film stills, video screenshots or concept art. Then it uses AI to formulate a text prompt based on the image before generating custom audio to accompany it. Krotos claims its artificial intelligence is "non-generative" and does not train itself on user-uploaded files. "Our approach to AI is grounded in both innovation and ethical responsibility," a Krotos spokesperson told MusicTech. “When we say our AI engines are 'non-generative,' we mean they are not creating entirely new sounds from scratch. Instead, they are designed to assist sound designers by processing and enhancing existing high quality audio assets that have been recorded by professionals." "Our commitment to ethics is reflected in how we train our AI," the statement continues. "We exclusively use professionally recorded assets that we own or have full rights to… The goal is to empower users, not replace them." See how Krotos' Ambience Generator v2 works below.
