Later on, the Festive Owl made a post, summarizing what we know as of now. I have been gathering information on the incident that occurred overnight at Lost Lands.

The French project KAS:ST just released an insanely fun (and unexpected) Psytrance Track under HI-LO’s Label HILOMATIK. Just recently, the project was a duo that turned solo as of March of this year. This might’ve worked for the best, as this year has been major for KAS:ST. The track might be very non-chalant in nature, but we surely give a F… you know what I mean. ‘DGAF’ The track has the vital elements of Psychedelic Trance. A tasty high-speed, galloping two-beat bass, withlots of synths and a melody to die for. But plot twist, KAS:ST then fuses some Techno elements, into it, with aggressive vocals, some acid reverbs, and that sensational tire screeching sound that reminds us of a Formula 1 circuit. This track proves a whole new direction for most of the artist’s most recent work, including tons of slower Melodic Techno, with significant collaborations with ARTBAT and Gordo. If anything, this track reminds us of older KAS:ST work, such as the A Magic World and Road To Nowhere LPs. This might prove a change of gears in Manuel Sene’s trajectory as the sole member of the pseudonym. KAS:ST The French Project KAS:ST started as a Duo with members Manuel Sene and Karol Herse. Now led by Sene alone, his hypnotic and melodic dark soundscapes have gathered support from artists such as 999999999, Tale of Us, HI-LO, and more. Coming from a professional soccer background, Sene is now based in Spain, touring Europe and the world, driving his sound forward. You will soon find him playing at Loveland in Amsterdam and at one Seismic Dance Event In Austin, TX. Now it’s time to let loose and pump it up! Say it with me, we ‘DGAF’ : The post KAS:ST Hits Us With Some Psytrance With New Track ‘DGAF’ appeared first on EDMTunes.

We were approaching the final phase of Anyma performances during last night’s Afterlife Milan. It was almost time for the iconic closing with “You Make Me” but, something changed. A new visual and song played before it. Last night, Anyma, the solo project of Matteo Milleri (one-half of the renowned electronic duo Tale Of Us), premiered his official remix for The Weeknd‘s “Dancing in the Flames,” marking another milestone in Milleri’s impressive career. The new remix takes listeners on a journey through progressive house landscapes. This latest work follows in the footsteps of his previous productions, reminding fans of the vibes from “You Make Me,” his unreleased collaboration with Rüfüs Du Sol that has been captivating audiences for over a year. If you’re thinking that this collaboration between Anyma and The Weeknd was a bolt from the blue, you can’t be more wrong. Anyma, The Weeknd and Alexader Weesely: a teamwork remix In fact, Anyma’s influence extends beyond just music. Alongside Alexander Wessely, known for his work as creative director for Swedish House Mafia, Milleri has been at the helm of the creative visual direction for The Weeknd. Alexander Wessely worked on the creative direction of Month To A Flame, a Swedish House Mafia collaboration with The Weeknd. The new visual for the remix of Dancing in the Flames reminds a lot of Alexander Wessely’s work with human bodies for the Swedish House Mafia It Gets Better and Redlight music video. The circle seems closed now with Anyma and Wessely both collaborating with The Weeknd. From his work with Tale Of Us to his solo ventures as Anyma, Matteo Milleri continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. At the end of this year, Anyma has planned a series of already sold-out shows at The Sphere in Las Vegas. We are sure there will be some surprises there, including new music and new visual and, maybe, artists playing live alongside Anyma.

The album title, shorten from Try Not to Hurt Yourself to TNTHY, blends a number of styles and genres, showcasing the incredible talent and range that Just Geo holds as a producer.

The single was a perfect opening introduction for what was to come as the Londoner would treat us to a groovy and rhythmic house single. ‘Tell Your Lies’ then followed one week later and that showcased another side to the producer as he would blend elements of garage with house. “I’ve been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit, I started making a name for myself producing pretty selfishly but I’ve always wanted to do more with vocalists and artists in general” Just Geo explains. “Like the majority of my stuff, the entirety of the production is all me in my studio so it’s a massive amalgamation of things I’ve wanted to experiment with or things people might not even know I could make but each track on this project is a song that tells it’s own story. It’s something I haven’t been able to do before… lucky to work with some great people on this so can’t wait for everyone to hear it” – said Just Geo on the making of this project. Now, on September 20th, Just Geo unveiled the full album, a 2 disc, fifteen-track project that brings a unique blend of garage, house, grime and techno. Notable singles that showcase all of those elements are opener ‘Tell Your Lies’, ‘Step It Out’, ‘When You Remember’, ‘Always Gonna Be’, and ‘Days Go By’.

When it comes to string instruments, the double bass holds a prominent place. Its deep, resonant tones add depth and richness to music across various genres. Whether you’re a musician or simply curious about this remarkable instrument, understanding the art of playing the double bass can provide insights into its rich history, unique techniques, and challenges. A Brief History of the Double BassDating back to the 15th century, the double bass can be traced to its predecessor, the violone. Initially used primarily in ensemble settings for dance music, it gradually gained recognition in orchestras during the 18th century. Over time, advancements in design and construction have made double basses more refined and accessible for musicians. Basics of Playing Technique1. Instrument Setup:Appropriate instrument setup is essential to playing the double bass effectively. The player’s standing position allows maximum control over sound production and technique execution. Ensuring the endpin is set at an adequate height creates optimal comfort while playing. 2. Bowing Techniques:Double bassists can choose between using a bow or pizzicato (plucking) techniques. Mastering different bowing techniques, such as legato, staccato, spiccato, and sautillé, lets players create distinct dynamics and articulations on their instruments. 3. Left-Hand Technique:Developing ergonomic left-hand positioning is crucial for efficient movement among pitches and executing accurate intonation. Proper finger placement and shifting techniques help achieve fluidity across registers on the fingerboard. Challenges Faced by Double Bass PlayersPlaying double bass doesn’t come without challenges: 4. Size:The sheer size of a double bass presents physical challenges for players—from navigating around its large body during performances to carrying it from one place to another securely. 5. Technique:While mastering any musical instrument requires practice and dedication, the double bass poses unique technical challenges due to its size and unconventional playing techniques. Building strength, accuracy, and control can take time. 6. Intonation:Intonation, especially on the lower strings of the double bass, demands fine-tuning skills. Players must develop a keen sense of pitch to achieve optimum intonation both individually and within an ensemble setting. 7. Repertoire Diversity:Double bassists often encounter limited repertoire options compared to other instruments. This requires them to adapt compositions from other instruments or explore contemporary works specially composed for double bass. Tips for Aspiring Double Bass Musicians:If you’re an aspiring double bass musician or simply curious about playing this magnificent instrument, here are some valuable tips: 8. Seek Professional Guidance:Working with a knowledgeable teacher who specializes in double bass can provide invaluable guidance on technique development, repertoire selection, and performance skills. 9. Build Strength Gradually:Developing the physical stamina needed to play the double bass comes with time and consistent practice. Start slowly when building strength in your hands, arms, shoulders, and core muscles. 10. Engage in Ensemble Playing:Playing alongside other musicians is rewarding and enhances your overall musicality. Seek out opportunities to play in chamber ensembles or community orchestras to gain experience and broaden your musical horizons. 11. Listen Widely:Immersing yourself in music featuring the double bass across different genres can help expand your understanding of its possibilities. Take advantage of various recordings—classical, jazz, rock—to enhance your listening. ConclusionThe art of playing double bass string instruments remains a fascinating discipline that spans centuries of musical history. Mastering its techniques poses significant challenges that are met by passionate musicians aiming for melodic excellence amid its demanding nature. With diligence and dedication, along with guidance from professionals within community orchestras or private instructors who specialize in this remarkable instrument, we can provide aspiring musicians with fruitful journeys on the path toward mastering the art of playing the double bass. Let us celebrate this magnificent instrument and embrace the artistry that underscores its profound impact on various genres of music. Whether for personal enjoyment or professional pursuit, the world of double bass string instruments offers limitless possibilities for exploration and expression.

The DJ Awards’ highly anticipated 23rd anniversary event takes place on October 2nd at Chinois, Ibiza. The ceremony will see category winners announced once all public votes are counted. Ahead of that, winners of the Industry Awards as chosen by a panel of experts can now be announced. Founded in 1998 by José Pascual and Lenny Krarup, the DJ Awards have long been recognised as the ‘Oscars for electronic dance music.’ Now under new ownership and with fresh investment after a four year hiatus, the awards make a welcome return and continue to champion excellence in global dance music. Doors open at 10pm with awards ceremony taking place 11.30 to 12.30. BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Jaguar returns to present the awards alongside respected electronic music personality Katie Knight, a regular face in Ibiza, who will also be interviewing artists backstage after the ceremony while the after-party kicks off in the club at 12.30am The winners of each of the voted for categories International DJ Of The Year 2024, Live Act, Breakthrough, House, Tech House, Drum & Bass, Techno, Progressive House, Organic House, Afro and Trance have been chosen by the public and will be announced on the night with nominees listed below. The reboot of the DJ Awards was always planned to recreate what’s been done before but better, which is why the number of awards has been reduced to 19 with a surprise award announced on the night. The new categories reflect the new state of the scene and also lay the foundation for the DJ Awards to expand its reputation and reach beyond Ibiza and promote dance music culture to a broader global audience while returning the integrity of the brand. Interspersed with voted categories, the winners of these special Industry Awards will be presented with their trophies and they have been selected by a specially assembled team of industry professionals. Ibiza Icon Luciano This award goes to anyone who has, over a long time, made a profound impact on the scene in Ibiza. Someone who has played multiple venues, grown with the success of the island, and given back to it in a social capacity. Cadenza boss Luciano is very much that man. He has DJed in the local prison, hosted talks at public schools, played every venue on the island, held legendary residencies, lived in Ibiza for years and made Spain his home. He has always stayed true to his art and will always be synonymous with the White Isle. He very much helped to transform the Ibiza scene from the early years of Ushuaia to the famous residencies at Pacha, bringing real underground quality and forward thinking sounds before anyone else. Ibiza Party of the Summer David Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous at Ushuaia and Future Rave at Hi Ibiza This award does what it says on the tin. The success of a party isn’t judged by the number of attendees, it’s about the commitment to creating a unique experience, the loyalty to a venue and ability to showcase a wide spectrum of creative sounds and abilities and have a real impact on dancers. The famous Frenchman is the only DJ on the island to host two of his own parties and they are the only place he plays in the summer which is a throwback to how parties used to be run back in the day. They very much showcase different sides of his sounds – FMIF is more commercial and VIP lead, while Future Rave offers up and comers a chance to shine. Both events place huge attention on the production with dancers, performers and the VIP experience all taken care of. Ibiza Track of the Summer Adam Port, Stryv – Move feat. Malachiii Historically, this has always been a track you hear in the day, at night, on the beach, in the super clubs. And that is certainly the case this year. This track has been played by everyone from all different musical backgrounds, in beach bars and in the main room, on terraces and at villa parties. It has had more than 200 million streams on Spotify and crossed over into so many different worlds. It’s catchy, singalong and the true sound of summer. What’s Hot Global Keinemusik This is a new category given to a brand or artists that have elevated themselves in the last year onto a whole new level of popularity and success. Keinemusik have done just that and have been everywhere this year playing standout sets in Ibiza but also hosting their own unique events under their iconic cloud. They are able to pull in crowds of up to 35000 people at festival sized events and they always sell out, such is their appeal to a wide range of clubbers from all musical backgrounds and ages. The trio have also done lots for up and coming artists., have remained true to their core and even recently raised 100, 000 euros for charity in Ibiza. Global Festival Defected Croatia This award is given to a festival that has been newly or re-established and is doing something fresh on a global scale such as invigorating a new territory, promoting a certain sound or genre and putting a scene or place on the map. Defected’s superb three day festival in Tisno, Croatia has done just that. It is loyal to the label’s famous house roots with a wonderful mix of established, new and upcoming artists. The audience is diverse in terms of age, gender and sexuality with local and international acts all featuring in a house-centric soundtrack that is both quintessential and cutting-edge. Play It Back Award Michael Bibi’s One Life Campaign This is an award given to a person, institution or event that has bettered the scene socially, charitably or in a humanitarian fashion. After his very public battle with central nervous system lymphoma and recent return to full health, Michal Bibi has put great focus on raising awareness about the rare form of brain cancer he suffered from. He has put a real spotlight on it with his One Life campaign and deserves great recognition. He has raised plenty of money including £124,832 made from his Finsbury Park takeover in London which went to Royal Marsden Cancer Charity but also has a policy of creating awareness at his events. That one in London had a stem cell transplant charity on site to help recruit attendees to sign up to the stem cell register. This forward thinking, positive, altruistic action has all been done from the dance floor up so makes Bibi a more than worthy recipient. Eye on… USA Gospel New York This annual award shifts the focus onto a different territory, starting with America, the birthplace of house music. New York’s Gospel club has had great success in just a few short years. James Huddleston and Juriel Zeligman are the co-founders and the venue is well run with a great mix of regular guests doing their own promotions. It’s a great throwback to how the scene was when it was first born in the 80s with serious focus on the music and residents. The club is a great modern addition to the city but one that never forgets the roots of the scene. Dance Floor Moment In the run up to the awards, people all over the world will have the chance to come to Ibiza dn collect a genuine DJ Award on stage with all the other winners.

Mahmut Orhan‘s collaboration with Nathan Nicholson, “Pangea,” has received a fresh and invigorating remix treatment from rising star Maxi Meraki. This rework transforms the original track into a progressive house gem while maintaining the essence of Orhan’s signature sound. Meraki’s remix skillfully injects progressive house vibes into the original melody. He creates a perfect balance between familiarity and innovation. The remixer’s touch is evident in the pulsating basslines and soaring synths that propel the track forward. Meraki subtly incorporates soft techno elements, particularly in the drum and percussion work. The result is a hybrid sound that bridges the gap between progressive house and techno. The intricate drum patterns add depth and texture to the track. Meraki creates a rhythmic backdrop that complements the melodic elements beautifully. Nicholson’s emotive vocals remain a centerpiece of the remix, with Meraki expertly weaving them throughout the production. The remix maintains the global fusion aspect of the original “Pangea,” aligning with Orhan’s vision of music as a unifying force across cultures. Besides the Maxi Meraki remix, “Pangea” features ten tracks that seamlessly fuse traditional instrumentation with contemporary dance music production. The album’s sound palette ranges from spine-tingling techno to emotive electronic compositions, all underpinned by Orhan’s signature style that appeals to both the body and soul of the listener.

Alesso debuted at The Brooklyn Storehouse in grand fashion. Over 2 nights, he took New York by storm with his dazzling production and music. Alesso is a personal favorite of mine, his shows have always brought me incredible joy. He does a fantastic job of balancing his golden-age progressive sound with his club-ready modern records. For over 2 hours over 2 different nights, Alesso had thousands moving in Brooklyn. Joining him on stage was AC Slater and John Alto. John kicked off the night and had the crowd warmed up nicely. AC Slater had the crowd in his hands as he moved and grooved them. The Bass House godfather has a grip on house music like no other. His new track ‘Brain On Drugs’ is so good to hear live! The Brooklyn Storehouse is the perfect venue for dance music. Newly acquired by Broadwick & TCE, the Navy Yard venue has been around for years but never had an official name. The production is phenomenal within the venue with lights and lasers everywhere. The sound is really great as well. It is a long warehouse which allows ample space if you like your room to dance. There are plenty of bars and bathrooms so rarely is there a need to wait. There is also a nice chill spot where you can still hear the music but take a seat if need be. Alesso Alesso has been debuting a new show concept this year called BODY HI. It is a deeper catalog of underground cuts as part of his new house and techno project. He debuted the project at Coachella’s famous Do LaB stage. Alesso dropped an impressive Hypnotize EP earlier this year that was filled with heat. I have seen Alesso more times than I can count and this one was one of my favorite shows of his. Nothing beats the first time I saw him at EDC in 2017 though. Alesso stuck the perfect balance between his throwback records and his more intense and groovy house tracks. He played all of his classics from ‘Heroes’ to his remix of ‘If I Lose Myself’ to ‘Calling‘ to ‘Pressure’. He also played his new track with David Guetta which is a calling to his past sound with a modern touch. He is one of the most special acts you can see in dance music and I highly recommend.

Amy Wiles & Nourey – Human Genre: Progressive Trance Amy Wiles is back in the studio with the release of the long-awaited Here I Am EP. By sheer coincidence, the five-track release is comprised entirely of female acts. Alongside Amy, who rocks the two solo tracks ‘For You’ and the title track ‘Here I Am’, Nourey, HANA, and Leena Punks all make an appearance this time, on the tracks ‘Human’, ‘Dreamland’, and ‘Sweet Feeling’ respectively. ‘Human’ has got something I can only describe as the sound I fell in love with when I first discovered Anjuna. I came to the label around 2015, so Progressive Trance was in full swing, and I can really see the link between Amy and Nour’s track and, say, a hybrid between Sunny Lax and the later years of ilan Bluestone. It’s got the groove, the vibe, the tension… everything. Elephante & yetep feat. Daye – All We Get Genre: Melodic Bass Elephante and yetep are set to captivate fans with their latest collaboration, ‘All We Get,’ featuring the soulful vocals of Daye. The highly-anticipated single is out now on Elephante’s label, Hidden Horizon. This is the next look at Elephante’s evolving soundscape as it leads up to the release of his forthcoming album, Cope. The track is a testament to their shared passion for creating music that resonates deeply with listeners. It is an emotive blend of driving beats, uplifting melodies, and Daye’s stirring vocal performance. ‘All We Get’ delves into themes of resilience and self-discovery, offering listeners a sonic experience that is both introspective and exhilarating.

Mat Zo – Bluish Yellow Genre: Progressive Trance, Electro House Anjunabeats is pleased to welcome back visionary artist Mat Zo for the release of a new EP that celebrates his unpredictable nature as a producer. The ZOCASE EP comprises three brand new productions that explore all corners of Dance music yet remain distinctly Mat Zo. ‘Bluish Yellow’ starts subtly with a bed of 303s before a brooding kick drops in. It’s a cut that has been played at a number of Mat Zo shows for the past two years, including iconic venues like The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State & Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. Nihil Young – Alone Again Genre: Progressive House Nihil Young is an Italian DJ and producer who has gained recognition for his beats. His tracks have been released on major labels and have charted on Beatport. His collaboration ‘How It Feels’ with Franky Wah has been quite a hit as well. With a large following on Spotify, he continues to be a prominent figure in the Dance scene. ‘Alone Again‘ is his latest, a Progressive House track, infused with soulful vocals, and it explores the transformative power of solitude. It dives into the journey of emotional healing and personal growth, telling its tale with a warm mid-2000s touch of nostalgia existing between its uplifting melodies and driving rhythms.
