Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta announced on Tuesday a significant shift in its content moderation strategy, abandoning its partnership with independent fact-checkers in favor of a user-driven system similar to that employed by Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). Shifting Focus to Community Notes Meta will discontinue its program with third-party fact-checking organizations, citing concerns about potential biases within the expert community and the volume of content flagged for review. Instead, the company will implement a “Community Notes” model, empowering users to collaboratively identify and provide context for potentially misleading information. In conjunction with this change, Meta plans to relax restrictions on certain topics, including immigration and gender, to prioritize addressing more serious violations like terrorism, child exploitation, and drug-related content. The company acknowledged that its previous approach, characterized by intricate content moderation systems, may have resulted in excessive censorship. Potential Implications The changes announced by Meta are expected to have a significant impact on the content users encounter on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. The shift towards community-driven moderation and the relaxation of certain content policies could lead to a more diverse and less curated user experience, but also raise concerns about the potential for the spread of misinformation and harmful content. Meta’s decision to overhaul its content moderation strategy marks a significant departure from its previous approach and will undoubtedly be closely watched by policymakers, researchers, and users alike.

Carl Cox has shared his full Burning Man 2024 DJ set for Mayan Warrior, his first-ever performance for the beloved music and art collective. Black Rock City was a living organism when Cox took the decks, turning the playa into an electric sunrise birthed from the ashes of tragedy. The iconic Mayan Warrior art car had been destroyed in a fire and rebuilt as the dazzling Galaxyer before debuting at last year's event in the Nevada desert. Cox performed as the sun kissed the horizon, throwing down a radiant set that felt more like a reclamation. The techno legend, ever the showman, took a moment to appreciate both the unforgettable atmosphere and the resurrection of the prized structure. "Watching it rise from the ashes and return to the Playa was truly incredible," he said in a statement today. "Relive this unforgettable sunrise with me and the amazing energy we created together. A moment that will last forever!" You can watch Cox's full DJ set below. It's also available to stream on SoundCloud.

OUT NOW Listen Here Influences Daft Punk Super Mal’s iconic track Bigger Than Big returns with an electrifying remix package featuring two fresh interpretations: one from The Green Man and another by rising Bristol-based Drum & Bass producer Harvey Gordon, aka Creatures. Having recently reclaimed the rights to their music from Universal, Super Mal collaborated with Creatures to bring these remixes to life, staying true to their plan to revisit the track when the time was right. Beyond music, the release also aims to raise funds to help protect the Amazon Rainforest, as nature and environmental preservation have become a major inspiration for the project. Originally a top 20 hit and featured on NOW That’s What I Call Music 67, Bigger Than Big is reimagined here with The Green Man’s influence and Creatures’ dynamic, cutting-edge style, making it a powerful return to the dance floor. SuperMal burst onto the electro and house scene in 2006, making waves with a fresh, high-energy sound. In 2007, they achieved breakout success with Bigger Than Big, a track featuring electro icon Luciana, who had recently scored a UK chart hit with Yeah Yeah. Signed to Universal Music, Bigger Than Big climbed into the top 20 and earned a spot on NOW That’s What I Call Music 67. Today, Super Mal is back with new remixes, pledging all proceeds to Amazon Frontlines to support the preservation of the Amazon. Getting to know Super Mal Introduce yourself and your project I’m James, one of the founder members of Super Mal, an electro project from back in the day! I recently got the rights to my single back from Universal so decided to do some mixes and give any proceeds away to a cause close to my heart which is preserving the natural world. I did the Green Man remix and I also got my current favourite artist Creatures on the dials. Explain what musical genre fits you best I was big into Daft Punk so pretended to be French, hence the band name. I was into French House and electro. But my whole life I have been big into Jungle and Drum & Bass and it’s the genre of a lot of the music I am making these days. Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you? Yes! I got into chart music from a very young age, maybe 8, and then my tastes broadened into everything, Metal, Hard House, Jungle, Hardcore, mostly anything extreme. At school I often got into bands way before the herd arrived. I was playing instruments from age 7. What kickstarted your music career? I kickstarted it! I was networking big time, hanging out with A&R guys, listening to demos for them for work experience, working in label post rooms, doing tiny gigs, anything I could to get myself out there. Eventually I met the right people at the right time and had some success as an artist. Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time Well personally it’s evolved by exploring different genres that I love and trying to create the best music I can. Recently I’ve been working with Harvey Gordon aka Creatures who is an amazing Drum & Bass artist, everyone should check out his work if you like D&B. Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers? Work hard on your music and building your following and success will come, people will notice. Good music usually rises to the top and gets noticed. Don’t go in unsolicited. How do you nurture your industry relationships? I don’t to be honest, I have no need to, it’s always been a minefield. However, if I was starting out today, I would be looking for the good execs who care about music and the artists, there are good people out there! Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey? Yeah, I’d like to thank my wife Viki, David Joseph, one of the greats, a veteran of the music industry who wrote me a good reference when I needed it most. James Reynolds, Nick Clow and a lady called Emma Shalless for having such good taste. What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software? It’s got to be the 808 still, use it all the time. Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel Glastonbury, when the sun shines it’s incredible, no feeling like it. Name an outlandish rider request? We counted ourselves lucky if we got riders. Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve? Going raving with my best mate Danny Stevens, DJ’s Randall & Grooverider What famous quote represents you best? ‘Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee’ – Hemmingway If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why? I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of the good ones, but Glasto on some medium sized stage would be ideal! Music is the direction I went in, and it will take care of you if you let it! One song you really couldn’t live without and why? Really hard question, Pixies ‘Debaser’, but there are loads. This one never gets old for me. Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present) Creatures, Daft Punk, DJ Hype, Grooverider, Randall, What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire? Starship ‘We Built This City’ as a child blew my mind, showing my age! Fell in love with music after that to an intense degree. Tell us more about your plans for the future I’m going to be doing more music of course, and I have got into trying to inspire future generations by making soundscapes out in nature with music production students. I think it’s important to get people to reconnect and appreciate nature! Any worldly advice you’d like to share? True success starts and flows from within.

Few could have predicted that Nicole Kidman, an actress synonymous with icy thrillers and sweeping period dramas, would end up trading red carpets for the shadowy glow of a Queens techno club. But that's exactly what happened when filming Halina Reijn's erotic thriller Babygirl, in which the Oscar-winning actress immerses herself in the pulse of underground rave culture, proving once again that her range knows no bounds. Inside Basement, the beloved nightclub tucked beneath the Knockdown Center in Queens, Babygirl finds Kidman's character Romy navigating a labyrinth of strobe-lit rooms in search of her lover Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson. Basement, already a mecca for New York’s underground dance aficionados, gains an added layer of mystique with Kidman's appearance in the film. Perhaps your next late-night escapade will include an unexpected sighting of the Babygirl star. At the 2024 GQ Men of the Year event, she casually admitted her fondness for rave culture. "I'm a small party person, but I do like a rave," Kidman quipped to an interviewer at the time. "I told you, I'm an extreme person." Released Christmas Day, the A24 film is currently in theaters nationwide. Nicole Kidman @ Basement in babygirl….. I - Yes you can have a wristband!

Paradise City Festival is getting ready for its tenth edition, which will take place on June 27, 28, and 29 2025 in the exquisite gardens of Ribaucourt Castle in Perk, Steenokkerzeel following a few calm months. Starting on Wednesday, January 8 at 12:00, are ticket sales. From a small celebration with just 5,500 guests over two days in 2015, what began ten years ago is now a globally acknowledged event. Paradise City stays loyal to its basic values: superb music, innovative staging, and strong attention to sustainability, with more than 43,000 attendees in 2024 and an amazing line-up of 134 musicians across seven stages. Organiser Gilles De Decker underlines that the route to success has not been without difficulties. We started rather naively, with a lot of idealism and a clear vision, but it has taken years to get to where we are today. The second edition in 2016 was almost the end of Paradise City. Heavy rain and mud kept visitors away, and financially, it was a disaster. That we continued after that edition still feels like a small miracle. Paradise City once more showed its fortitude during COVID-19. The crew set up 20 smaller events on a lake with 60 boats for groups of eight and the DJ along the waterfront while most celebrations were called off. It was a creative solution in a difficult time, and it felt great to bring people together safely during those tough times – De Decker says. Ten years of Paradise City reveals many highlights when one looks back. Gilles describes a pure bliss moment on the Castle Stage in 2019 from DJ Koze’s performance: The energy broke loose, and everything came together perfectly. It was magical – Job Jobse’s closing set at the Forest Stage last summer also sticks with him – Never before have I experienced such intensity and euphoria. Paradise City Festival crowd Paradise City, in the meantime, is likewise looking outside Belgium. Next August, the celebration in Austria will feature the fourth edition of the Paradies Garten Festival, a rather smaller-scale event with three stages next to a castle outside Vienna. With success, the same fundamental principles of excellent artists, sustainability, and beautiful surroundings are carried through here. A clear taste for Austrian music has developed among enthusiasts. “It feels fantastic to see our idea flourish abroad,” notes De Decker. Thanks to outstanding accomplishments in energy, waste management, water saving, and sustainable mobility, Paradise City was given the esteemed AGF Awards as the most sustainable music event in 2024 worldwide. The festival set itself apart with creative solar energy solutions, reusable materials, and environmentally friendly transportation choices like more trains and electric shuttle buses. Organiser Gilles De Decker stresses – Festivals can have a negative impact on the environment. That is why we keep improving ourselves and want to set an example for a sustainable future. While we are proud of what we have achieved, we know there is still much work to do. Whatever the future brings, quality music will always remain central at Paradise City. We want to remain cutting-edge and continue to represent the current scene – De Decker – We consciously choose quality over quantity and stick to intimate stages without big growth ambitions regarding visitor numbers. Making good electronic music bigger and highlighting the cultural impact remains our mission. Although the first half of this summer’s lineup will be revealed next week, the organizers already suggested a special combination of modern artists and iconic pioneers. Our tenth anniversary is a tribute to the founding fathers of electronic music – says De Decker. – They laid the foundations for the culture we cherish.

Australia's rave scene might just be heading to the deep fryer. One event organizer is rallying support for what could be the sauciest night the Australian electronic music community has seen in years: a rave at KFC. Nick Lennon was inspired by last year's Bunnings Warehouse rave—complete with DJs and sausage sizzles—which sold out in minutes and raised funds for Support Act, a music industry charity. "In 2024 we had the Bunnings rave…so in 2025 we MUST have the KFC rave," Lennon wrote in a petition he launched on Change.org. View the original article to see embedded media. Whether KFC management will embrace this finger-lickin' dream remains to be seen, but if the internet has taught us anything, it’s that good ideas can snowball into reality. As the petition has begun to garner signatures, Lennon is promising exclusivity—tickets will only be available to the petition's signatories who dare to dream big (and greasy). The idea isn’t as outlandish as it sounds, considering fast food-fueled pop-ups have been an emerging as a favorite among the artist community. Berlin recently played host to a McDonald's Boiler Room set by HUGEL as ravers danced under the golden arches and dined on freshly flipped Big Macs, and DJ Snake also threw down at a rave in a McDonald's restaurant in France. Should KFC join the pantheon of unconventional rave venues, it would cement a fast food frenzy that's sweeping global nightlife. After all, where else can you hear drum & bass while dunking a drumstick? You can find the full Change.org petition here.

Malaa is doubling down with the reveal of a dual album release, which he's confirmed for late-January. The two projects, All In and Blackout, reflect a creative chasm, pitting the masked artist against his own alter ego in what promises to be both a genre-defying showdown and an exploration of his identity. Malaa also revealed the tracklists on social media. All In is confirmed to include the previously released single of the same name, a collaboration with R&B star Jeremih showcasing a rich and evocative sound that flirts with emotional depth. Conversely, Blackout teases a more chaotic and high-energy vibe brewing, exemplified by the blistering single "Simiya," featuring Dutch dancehall artist Kalibwoy. Malaa's dual release underscores the producer's creative fracture, a concept first teased in 2024 when Malaa revealed the existence of his alter ego and blueprint for a two-pronged live performance concept. Both identities are set to battle it out live on a newly designed stage debuting in Brooklyn on the same day as the release of the albums. Both All In and Blackout are set to release on streaming services January 17th, 2025. View the original article to see embedded media.

The melody that defined a generation of trance music fans has been reborn, as Tiësto's iconic "Lethal Industry" has been reimagined by Rose Ringed. True to his word, the ascendant producer has preserved the track's timeless melody while weaving in his own evocative vision. Much like Tiësto's legendary live mashups of "Lethal Industry" that peppered his early 2000s sets, his Dutch compatriot's remix underscores the power of a melody to transcend time. With his fresh approach, Rose Ringed ensures that the track remains as top-of-mind in 2025 as it was around the time of its release over two decades ago. "I kept the main melody as it is and changed everything else—the bass, the drums," Rose Ringed explained in a comment on YouTube, his reverence for the original palpable. "My 'signature' is adding chords, which the original doesn't have. The chord progression and moving bass were what I thought it needed to make it better. I made it purely out of passion." View the original article to see embedded media. Where the original's tech-trance roots brought urgency and fire, Rose Ringed’s version introduces a cinematic depth, pairing the soaring violin strings with a dynamic, undulating bassline that feels fittingly modern. The chords sweep through the arrangement like a fresh breeze over familiar terrain, elevating "Lethal Industry" to new emotional heights. Released in 1999 and solidified as a dance anthem through countless live performances, "Lethal Industry" has long been a staple of Tiësto's legacy. Rose Ringed's remix honors that spirit while daring to move it forward, adding a contemporary energy to its enduring trance soul. Check out Rose Ringed's official remix of "Lethal Industry" below.

Decadence NYE always brings a stacked lineup to the Denver Convention Center and this year at the top of the list was ILLENIUM B2B Slander. They closed the festival out shortly after Subtronics dropped the NYE ball for the bass capital city and a sold-out Decadence. Lucky for us, ILLENIUM has uploaded a professional recording (Video + Audio) of the whole set on his YouTube. This after-movie captures crowd reaction, on-stage performance, and the insane production brought by these two bass titans. Living the ILLENIUM B2B Slander Experience ILLENIUM, being a Denver resident wearing his Broncos jersey and helmet dropped a massive mashup of 6 of his tracks in the first 2 minutes. One of them being his collab with Slander and Dylan Matthew – ‘Love is Gone‘. They later play the whole collab around 45 minutes in for a serene moment for the crowd. Other ILLENIUM tracks played out are ‘Sideways‘ w/ NURKO ft. Valerie Broussard, ‘Nightlight‘ ft. Annika Wells. Also, he rocked the floor with many other remixed tracks by himself and other top artists. At 23 minutes he gives the crowd an unreleased track, ‘In My Arms‘ ft. Hayla. Slander, a duo from Los Angeles who has a massive fan base in Denver did not disappoint when they took over the decks. They played many of their well-known tracks like ‘Suffer‘ w/ MARAUDA ft. Elle Vee, ‘Back To U‘ w/ William Black, an unreleased track ‘Under My Skin‘ w/ Vastive, and more. From a personal account, The ID/remix by SLANDER, Blackbear, & Bring Me The Horizon – ‘Wish I Could Forget‘ was an absolute banger. It has its own sound and really stuck out through the rest of the set. Anyways, The B2B closed out this masterpiece by playing their collab ‘Lay it Down‘ w/ Krewella keeping the majority of the Decadence attendees gripping the rail until the end. Now, this set is on YouTube for you to enjoy. The post WATCH: ILLENIUM B2B SLANDER NYE From Decadence appeared first on EDMTunes.

The organizers of Bonnaroo in 2025 are introducing an immersive 360° stage, Infinity, according to sources close to the festival. Details are scarce at the time of writing, but the stage is said to be "the world's largest and most immersive 360° live music experience," per marketing materials shared on social media by Festive Owl. In response to followers comparing the stage to Lost Lands' innovative "Crater" production, the festival insider claimed Infinity is "a completely new concept for a U.S. festival." It is being produced within Bonnaroo's main performance venue, Centeroo. The experience isn't just about proximity—the audio will reportedly be spatially mixed and dispersed using cutting-edge software developed by Polygon Live, a renowned music tech firm out of the UK. Ensuring a dynamic environment where attendees feel the music from every angle, the Infinity Stage will also dwarf the six other existing structures in the Centeroo hub, which hosts over 150 acts over the course of the festival. "This structure will be larger than any of the current tents in Centeroo, featuring not only speakers on the outside but also overhead and surrounding you for a fully immersive experience," Festival Owl wrote. "The experience is more than just being surrounded by speakers—the audio from the performances will be mixed spatially using custom software from Polygon Live." View the original article to see embedded media. The 23rd annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is scheduled to return to the Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee from June 12-15, 2025. The lineup is expected to be revealed on Wednesday, January 8th. Last year's festival featured headlining performances by Pretty Lights, Fred again.. and FISHER as well as an undercard with Four Tet, Seven Lions, Whyte Fang, Oliver Heldens, Galantis, SVDDEN DEATH, ISOxo and Knock2, among other electronic music stars.

Proper NYE in San Diego was meant to be a night of celebration and music, a way for attendees to ring in the new year with friends and good vibes. However, what should have been a joyous occasion quickly became a nightmare for many as overcrowding and overselling became major issues throughout the festival. Attendees were unable to access key areas of the event, facing long lines for necessities, and dealing with chaotic and unsafe conditions during the exit process. T Attendees were shocked by the lack of organization safety at Proper NYE. The main stage being closed for most of the festival, the overcrowded bathroom lines spilling into walkways, and the chaotic exit process all painted a grim picture of mismanagement. Addressing these issues and holding event organizers accountable for their actions is important. Overcrowding at the Main Stage One of the most glaring issues at Proper NYE was the constant overcrowding at the main stage, which was deemed “at capacity” for most of the festival. This meant that a significant portion of attendees could not access the main stage area, missing out on key performances and experiences. The frustration among those stuck outside the main stage was palpable, with many expressing disappointment and disbelief at the situation. Not only was the main stage closed off, but The Lot, another key area of the festival, also faced capacity issues, further limiting attendees’ options for entertainment. The lack of communication and planning by event organizers only exacerbated the problem, leaving attendees feeling trapped and isolated from the heart of the festivities. Seeing so many people unable to fully enjoy the event they had paid to attend was disheartening. As the night wore on, the overcrowding at the main stage became more pronounced, with bathroom lines extending into walkways and impeding the flow of foot traffic. Attendees were forced to navigate a maze of people just to reach basic amenities, adding to chaos and disorganization. The lack of crowd control and proper planning was evident, creating a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere for all involved. Chaos During the Exit Process Once the event ended, the chaos only escalated as attendees tried to make their way out of the venue. Reports of people urinating in public near the exit, fights almost breaking out, and a general sense of unease permeated the space. The sheer volume of people trying to leave at once overwhelmed the staff and security, leading to a breakdown in crowd management and safety protocols. In a desperate attempt to maintain order, organizers had to allow attendees to pass through VIP areas to exit the venue safely. This last-minute decision highlighted the severity of the situation and the failure of event staff to anticipate and address the potential issues with crowd control properly. The lack of foresight and preparation by event organizers put attendees at risk and tarnished the overall experience of Proper NYE. For many attendees, the chaos during the exit process was the final straw, forcing these attendees to stop going to events from the Proper NYE promoter. The sense of community and camaraderie that should have defined Proper NYE was overshadowed by the greed and negligence of those in charge. Moving forward, attendees must hold event organizers accountable for their actions and demand better standards for future events.

The New Year starts off with some hope for American DJ/producer Diplo on his alleged revenge porn case. A federal judge in Los Angeles has mandated that an accuser, currently identified as “Jane Doe,” must reveal her identity if she wishes to pursue her civil lawsuit against Diplo. Revenge Porn Case On December 31, Judge Mónica Ramírez Almadani ruled that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a legal need to maintain her anonymity. This left her with no choice but to disclose her name. The woman asserts that she engaged in a consensual sexual relationship with Diplo from 2016 to 2023. During this time she permitted him to record their encounters. However, she later accused him of sharing these recordings on Snapchat without her consent. Diplo vehemently denies the allegations, arguing his ability to confront his accuser is severely compromised without knowing her identity. His legal team maintains that transparency in such cases is crucial for justice. According to Billboard, Judge Almadani emphasized that anonymity is only justified in “clear-cut, high-risk situations.” She expresses doubt that the claims against Diplo falls within that category, stating: “While the court understands that the plaintiff’s allegations are deeply personal and may invite public scrutiny, the need for anonymity must be substantiated. The overarching principle of open judicial proceedings must prevail.” In light of this ruling, the accuser’s attorneys expressed concern to Billboard. Stating: “The imbalance of power in these situations is alarming and should not be overlooked by the public or the courts. In today’s digital landscape, forcing a survivor to disclose their identity risks an irreversible connection between them and their trauma.” This ruling serves as a significant win for Team Diplo. The DJ has categorically denied the allegations outlined in the lawsuit. This is asserting the necessity for his accuser to reveal her identity. His legal team emphasized in court documents that without knowing who is making the accusations, Diplo is unable to properly confront the claims against him.
