  3. We know that Ibiza is the prime destination for parties. From incredible lineups 7 days a week, to beautiful beaches. However, the german Afro-House trio Keinemusik managed to elevate the experience in Ibiza even more. This time, though, it came in the form of a magnificent charity secret beach party. Secret Beach Party For Charity The trio, which consists of DJs Adam Port, Rampa, and &ME, alongside the FamFam foundation and the Mambo Ibiza owners joined forces to deliver an ecstatic day to night party. The restaurant Cala Gracioneta in Sant Antoni De Portmany provided its facilities for the event. The event amassed a staggering sum of 103.681 Euros that went to the APNEEF Foundation, which serves people in need in Ibiza and Formentera. The DJs took turns on the decks as well as the Mambo Brothers, including live percussion. With the signature kloud decor and hundreds of attendees, the event was as successful as it was reinvigorating and philantrope-esque. Up next, the trio announced that they will have a show at the Berlin airport next summer 2025. Through the FamFam foundation, people will be able to gain access to guest list and tickets for their upcoming events, while supporting young creatives from marginalized backgrounds. Kindness goes a long way, and Keinemusik has proven that you can use your fame and fortune to help others. Meanwhile, sharing your art and music to the masses. About Keinemusik The collectiive, which started in 2009 in Berlin, with founders Adam Port, Rampa, &Me, Reznik, and Monja Gentschow has gained a cult like following, with their incredible display of Afro-House with deep and tribal influences. With collaboration with WHOMADEWHO and Drake, to over 65 EPs released to date, the trio manages to influence each venue they land on. With incredible sets at Coachella, near the Pyramids in Egypt, and more. The group is a force of sultry beats and magical soundscapes.

  4. Sad news comes today all the way from Germany, as Berlin’s legendary nightclub Watergate will reportedly close its doors at the end of 2024, the team announced today. After two decades of operation, the organizers of the Falckensteinstrasse venue have made the difficult decision to shut down, following a series of financial struggles. “Unfortunately, the realities of inflation, the energy crisis, rising costs in general, and, not least, the high rent for this beautiful location in the heart of the city at Oberbaumbrücke on the Spree, caught up with us“, said cofounder Ulrich Wombacher in conversation with media Resident Advisor. “We’re facing enormous financial pressure, which ultimately led us to the decision not to extend the club’s lease“. Wombacher also cited the growing popularity of larger events and festivals as a contributing factor to the closure. He emphasized that Watergate was founded on the idea of a club as a defining place for a musical generation. With the changing landscape of nightlife, the organizers felt it was time to step down gracefully rather than risk financial decline. Watergate will bid farewell with a special closing program from October until its final day, featuring performances by renowned DJs such as Charlotte de Witte, Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, and more. Renowned parties like Multisex, Mala Junta, Club Heartbroken, and New Kids on Acid will also be part of the final celebrations. Founded in 2002, Watergate is considered one of Berlin’s most iconic nightlife institutions. While the physical space will close, the Watergate Records label and the wider brand will continue to exist. This announcement follows recent news that nearby club Renate may also shut down when its lease ends in 2025, as both venues are operated by the same landlord.

  5. The journey of ISOxo and Knock2 in 2024 has been nothing short of legendary, with their performances rattling major festival stages like Coachella and their surprise debut album sparking widespread acclaim. Now the incendiary duo have announced their final show of the year. Set to rock the Bay Area, ISOKNOCK's upcoming appearance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium marks the culmination of a monumental year that has seen them relentlessly pushing the boundaries of trap, bass and dance music while fearlessly channeling an unapologetically punk energy. Famous for their no-holds-barred sets, they performed a gravity-defying show at North Coast earlier this month, DJing from inside a shipping container suspended high above the crowd in a bold stunt that captured the intensity and daring nature of their live performances. ISOxo and Knock2 performing from a suspended shipping container at the 2024 North Coast Music Festival.Josh Skolnik Their surprise album 4EVR only added fuel to the fire, combining raw, aggressive basslines with emotional ballads while reflecting the duo's rebellious spirit. Tracks like "THRASH (PARTY STARTER)" and their collaboration with RL Grime, "SMACK TALK," have continued to unglue festival audiences with every rinse. While they've announced their final ISOKNOCK-branded show of 2024, their last performance of the year will be the sold-out "SD 4EVR" events on December 7th and 8th at San Diego's Thrive Park, a hometown outing that sold out in record time.

  6. Some close, others re-open. Just a few hours ago we shared the devastating news that Berlin’s Watergate announced its closing for good.

  8. When it comes to rising stars in the electronic pop scene, few shine as brightly as EVVA. She made her impressive debut in May with the single ‘Chasing’, instantly grabbing attention. Just a month later, she proved her talent was no one-hit wonder by releasing another stunning track, ‘Wonder’. Much like her debut, ‘Wonder’ draws you in with its dreamy synths, ethereal vocals, and vibrant production. The track perfectly captures the feeling of curiosity and discovery, inviting listeners to explore their own sense of wonder. With a mesmerizing mix of pulsating beats and delicate melodies, EVVA continues to push the boundaries of modern pop, blending emotion and energy in a way that feels fresh and exciting. EVVA‘s journey into music goes well beyond her recent singles. She first made waves as a DJ, winning over crowds with her eclectic sets and infectious energy across genres like dance, pop, house, and EDM. Her deep passion for music led her to the prestigious Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) in London, where she honed her skills in vocals, production, and songwriting. Drawing inspiration from her global adventures and time living in different countries, EVVA brings a unique fusion of influences into her work. She’s also collaborated with Jungleboi, a respected figure in London’s EDM scene, known for his work with major artists like ZAYN and R3HAB. With each release, EVVA is proving that she’s not just another name in electronic pop—she’s here to stay, and she’s got a lot more to share.

  12. Hungry for the journey ahead with a string of fascinating projects and styles attached to her artistry, Sakkura – record producer, performer & DJ from Brighton – releases Astral, a vibrant and varied 11-track LP ruling BPM as its one and only limitation. The project was released by Sakkura on her new label Atherea Records, but created and toured as Sakkura Live: a group of tight-knit producers, MCs and vocalists, but above all, friends. The project flows seamlessly between uplifting vocal-led summer anthems, to dark and twisted heavy hitters designed to be rinsed on a basement dancefloor. It is a powerful example of collaboration and a beautiful display of good friends feeling the freedom of a loving environment, and then capturing it for all to hear. Whilst Sakkura is not new to the world of dance music, her pseudonym represents a fresh start. Formerly known as Wickaman, Sakkura symbolises new beginnings. Returning into the scene with both trepidation and excitement, she enters a new era entirely with her most powerful and exciting music yet. Astral marks a look to the future, and stands strong as a foundation of love, community, creativity and friendship, of which this incredible collective will no doubt flourish from. Over to Sakkura to tell us the whole story. How are you Sakkura? All over the place! Happy, nervous, scared, excited. A fruit salad of emotion. Putting myself out there, that’s really scary. The release, the band, all the pressures of working with a group of people, it’s not just about you anymore. You want to do right by everyone and the more excited the people I collaborate with get, the more nervous I get. I really don’t want to let these people down, they’re all friends of mine, real genuine friends. I only work with my friends. They’re not collaborators that I don’t hang out with. We all have a lot of fun together. Sakkura is your artist name, but you also have Sakkura Live, talk us through the differences between the two! Well, the funny thing is, it was Miss Melody who said ‘We’ll just call the live project Sakkura Live’. That was her idea. Initially, I thought that was sort of funny, using my name, in the band’s name. But then I started to like it. Where my brain went was Marilyn Manson. Everyone thinks of Brian as Marilyn Manson, but the band is also Marilyn Manson. I always liked the ambiguity of that. I like to blur the lines. With the radio plays we’ve been getting too, they say, this is a band. They’re seeing Sakkura and Sakkura Live as the same thing. That’s cool. There’s nothing there for me to be specific about, let’s blur the lines a bit. Love that. What made you want to start a live project as well as Sakkura? I had a live project years ago. It was with OC Breaks, who is the drummer in Sakkura Live, he was also involved in that along with Hoodz & Mavrik, and it was hell for me. I did some shows and it would take me a month to recover. I’ve always had this thing where I don’t feel welcome in the industry. I sort of freak out a bit. And I couldn’t take the pressure, so I didn’t want to carry on with it. But OC Breaks kept on saying to me ‘Let’s do it, let’s do it!’, so I said we would, when I have some music. Because I needed the music out there first. Just before lockdown, Dee Freer said to me ‘Come on, let’s do the live thing’. So they were both saying it. Lockdown happened, and of course, then nothing happened! So, I said when we come out of lockdown, I’ll have this album ready, and we’ll get the live thing going. That’s how that happened. Also, I thought it would be different this time… And is it different this time? It’s a lot of work! But it is different this time. I’m definitely enjoying it a lot more. I guess you learnt so much from when you did a live project before. Do you feel like your mindset is different going back into it this time round? Yeah. Absolutely. I was in a lot of fear. I still am now. But I’m really stubborn, so I’m not going to give up. I’m going to keep going, whether I succeed or it destroys me, I’ll go down with the ship. Plus, I’m really excited about where it’s going next. Now the album project is done, I’ve allowed myself a new confidence. The album is like a pick and mix, and I know now the areas that I really want to explore and we’re all really excited about what we’re going to do next. We’ve already started working on other tracks. We have this style and energy we want to explore. We have hooks and ideas, and this time, I’m going to put together the production, but not finish the tracks. I’m going to get some ideas down with Riva, then we’re going to get together with OC Breaks and Miss Melody and get OC Breaks to play the beats I’ve made in a way that he wants to play them, and then Miss Melody can come up with her stuff on the fly. We’re going to jam to finish the tracks, so everyone is involved. To try and come up with stuff for all of us at the same time seemed mental to me, and a lot of stress too. But, if I could produce all the parts, and we jam those pre-made sounds, that are already mixed down and mastered, it’ll be a cool way to make music. It’ll sound finished as we make it. Wow – a super collaborative process! It really is. OC Breaks might play something crazy on the drums and we can respond to it there and then. It’s such a joy, and it makes you laugh too, because it’s ridiculous! Photo: Dan Reid I bet it’s chaos! Beautiful chaos. Who exactly is in Sakkura Live? Let’s big up the crew a little bit… OC Breaks is the drummer, we’ve been friends since we were 13 years old. He was the reason that I learnt to play the guitar. So, all of this is his fault! He is a surgeon on the drum kit. So methodical. The way he works out how he plays the breaks and the beats is incredible. Then there is Riva, who I have been working with and really good friends with for 10/11 years now. Her roots are in soul singing, she has this beautiful soulful jazzy voice, that’s her thing! We’re going to utilise her jazziness in some of the next tracks, I’m really looking forward to that. Miss Melody, our MC, I got to meet her through RV who is another producer on the album. She’s an awesome MC that adds a completely fresh dynamic to the band and is essential to our live performances. Then there is Dee Freer, again, a really close friend. I did some stuff with her on Ministry of Sound & Metalheadz back in the day. We have stayed friends ever since. She has a very different sound to Riva so the two of them bounce off each other really well. Sakkura is a new alias but you’ve had many, many years in the D&B scene under the Wickaman alias. There were many years between the two – how does it feel to now re-emerge as Sakkura? Scary. Really scary. I’ve lost touch with a lot of people, and I don’t know if I’ll be in touch with a lot of them again, which is sad. It was a negative time, it wasn’t a happy severance, let’s say. It’s with trepidation. It sounds weird but I think I have PTSD from this. I still have nightmares, recurring nightmares about the scene and where I was. See – at the time, I took a lot of shit from my peers on social media, people I respected, people I saw as colleagues and friends and it destroyed me. What that has done to my brain is still there. That’s why I find it weird to talk about it. That messed me up. It scared me. That’s why I’m still scared now, because of that. It was a kick in the teeth. I can’t imagine what that must’ve been like for you. Very sad, and disappointing to hear. It’s sad because I expected it. It’s a funny thing, me being trans is the least interesting thing about me. I don’t want to be seen as a figure-head for trans people. It’s not part of my conversation. I don’t see myself as part of any group, it just so happens that I am. I’m the last person to be shouting about it. It doesn’t interest me. If there is anything that I could do to inspire someone else that might be trans or someone who wants to transition is that you don’t have to make a big deal out of it. I don’t mean that in a negative way, it’s just not interesting for me. It’s been a big struggle for sure, but it’s not something I need to celebrate. It just is what it is. This is undoubtedly a huge step and a scary time for you, but is it also a huge weight off your shoulders, re-emerging with your artistry as your true and authentic self? Oh yeah. It’s amazing. It’s like, oh my god. I never thought it would be possible. There’s a real freedom that I have now. I can breathe. Obviously I’m scared that I won’t ever achieve what I did before or be as successful and all that stuff but it’s exciting. There is hope for the future. I feel like I’ve thrown some chains off, and that’s liberating. So there is excitement with it. I guess feeling so liberated and free helps with creativity too, does it? It does now! Putting this album together was a struggle. But now that I’ve got to this point, I can finally look forward to something. Continuing this project with all these people, it’s really exciting. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. There will be a lot of Wickaman fans who will love and support your new journey and will be happy to see you’re back with Sakkura. That’s really cool. A lot of people have said to me, don’t you want to reconnect with fans, but I was too scared to. This interview is the first time that I’ve said that. I’ve never said that before. I’m looking forward to creating a new Sakkura fanbase. I hope Sakkura connects and people enjoy where I’m taking the music. Let’s dive into Astral, your new album – what does the project mean to you? What does it signify? The album is a milestone, it’s unlocking a door. Getting this out there, it sort of puts us on the map. For all of us, that was a really big thing. It’s a foundation. It’s the foundation of which we’re going to build this thing. Journey wise, that’s what it signifies. I can tell you why it’s called Astral, too. The record label is called Atherea Records, it was meant to be “Ethereal Records”, but that one already exists. Basically, I suffer from sleep paralysis. I’ve seen lots of different things, I’ve been held down, I can see the thing pushing me down. I’ve had things come into my room, I’ve had nice entities, bad entities. I’ve had all this crazy stuff happen, since forever. I’ve managed to tame it now but I always felt that when you’re in those states, you’re sort of tapping into spirit realms. Which is why I chose Astral. Astral realms are the places between this reality and a spirit reality. You’re in both places. In the in-between place. And Atherea Records? I looked Atherea up online and it turns out that in a novel, Atherea is a planet that when you’re on it, you’re in both this reality and in the spirit realm. It couldn’t be more perfect. That is the theme to a lot of what I do, in fact, everything I do. That’s always there. Will you be championing a particular vibe or style of D&B? Basically, it’s the exact opposite! It’s definitely not championing a particular style. Hopefully, when people listen, they’ll get that it’s not about a style, it’s about how many styles can we fit into this BPM. The only boundary is a BPM, and we want to dance within that BPM, and be as creative as possible. Be as weird and quirky as possible, have as much fun as possible within that one boundary. I think boundaries are fun for that reason, right? Limitation creates creativity. Take instruments for example, they’re a complete limitation. You can sit there with all these synthesizers and sit there playing for days with all these different plugins, but give me a guitar and I’ll come up with a catchy hook in seconds! That limitation does something to the mind. What does the future hold for Sakkura? Who knows! I can tell you what I want it to hold. Having fun, expressing through music, expressing all of the emotions through the music! Doing gigs, going on tour. Being successful is where I want to go. Working with all the people I’m working with, moving forward together and continuing what we’ve started, is what I want the future to hold. Being on that map, being part of music and the scene, having our place. That would be amazing.

  14. After over two decades as a cornerstone of Berlin’s nightlife, the legendary Watergate Club has announced it will cease operations. But when? Watergate Club will close for good at the end of this year. The club, located at Oberbaumbrücke, has been a staple of the international electronic music community since its opening in 2002. In a heartfelt statement, Watergate’s management explained, “With a heavy heart, we have decided to end our club operations at Watergate, located at the Oberbaumbrücke, at the end of the year and not to renew our lease.” They cited several factors contributing to this difficult decision. These include economic challenges in the post-COVID landscape, rising costs, and shifting dynamics in club culture. How does it happen? Why Berlin’s Watergate Club will close? The announcement reflects broader struggles faced by Berlin’s nightlife industry: These are tough times for Berlin’s clubs, and since Covid the business hasn’t really picked up for many. Whether it’s high rents, war, inflation, rising costs, or simply a change in the nightlife dynamics of the next club generation and a shift in the relevance of club culture in general – the operation of a venue like Watergate, in such a prime location, with the financial pressure that comes with it, is increasingly becoming a balancing act with an uncertain future. Watergate quickly rose to prominence as one of the globe’s premier nightlife destinations, “helping to put Berlin on the map as one of the top nightlife destinations in the world.” The venue’s unique location on the River Spree, featuring its iconic glass floor with views of the water below, made it a truly special place for both locals and tourists alike. The club plans to go out on a high note. Watergate Club planned a series of farewell events throughout the remaining months of the year. In the coming months, until the end of the year, we’ll be hosting a series of top-tier events. No artist will miss the chance to celebrate one last sunrise in the club with us, no collective will skip the opportunity for one final gathering, and no guest will be denied the last chance for a memorable night at Watergate. Management expressed gratitude to the guests who filled Watergate “week after week with their diverse and enthusiastic energy” over the past 22 years. They acknowledged the club’s role in shaping Berlin’s nightlife scene, stating: Watergate has been at the forefront of the international club scene for 22 years, quickly becoming a staple for guests from all over the globe.

  15. Following the massive success of his RIAA Gold-certified hit ‘Ferrari’ and collaborations with industry heavyweights like Kim Petras and Major Lazer, James Hype continues to push the boundaries of house music. James Hype has excitingly secured the Beatport #1 chart with his latest single, ‘7 Seconds’ featuring South London’s Shamiya Battles. ‘7 Seconds’ showcases Hype’s signature blend of rap, R&B, and house, fused with a fresh take on the bouncy bassline from ‘I Got 5 On It’. Shamiya Battles’ powerful vocals bring the utmost energy that nods to its roots while reinventing the melody with a modern flair. The track also features tempo shifts and a rhythm fans clearly cannot get enough of. In the past two years, James Hype has amassed billions of streams and views globally, with his previous release, ‘Wild’, also topping the Beatport charts. His success extends to YouTube, where he recently reached the milestone of 1 million subscribers. With ‘7 Seconds’, James Hype continues his dominance, delivering yet another hit that blends catchy vocals and ever-evolving production—proving that his reign over the global electronic music scene is far from over.

Then the documentary brings you to Argentina with best friends Julian & Danté who made their childhood dream come true, and the 18-year-old Héline who brought her parents along on the adventure for the first time. Each tells personal stories about what Tomorrowland means to them, alongside spectacular new footage of the festival. I think that I couldn’t live without music. Music has this power to connect, so I let the music speak for myself. When words fail, music speaks. Because music is endless, you have endless possibilities. My head is always thinking about music. Tomorrowland represents a lot for me. I’m very proud that they are in Brazil, my home. It’s very important to the scene. I remember watching the first aftermovies and saying, one day I want to be there. – Vintage Culture Tomorrowland documentary ‘We Are Tomorrow’ cover art People of Tomorrowland: Curtis & Stacey ​Curtis is a 34-year-old healthcare provider from Bristol (UK), whose life hung by a thread last year. In May 2023, a few months before he was due to come to Tomorrowland with his girlfriend Stacey, he had a serious motorcycle accident. He lost his right foot on the spot, and during emergency surgery, they had no choice but to amputate it to the knee. A very tough rehabilitation followed, which is still ongoing. He now has a prosthetic leg and has been declared unable to work for the next 3 to 5 years. Curtis loves festivals and traveling. He’s been to Tomorrowland before and calls it his favorite music festival. This year will be Stacey’s first time, and Curtis can’t wait to show her everything. I have music on for everything. It just always lifts me up. There’s always a song for any type of mood. I actually got really emotional, which I didn’t expect. It just meant so much to me. It’s a hard feeling to describe, but it’s pure ecstasy. It was incredible. Along my path of rehabilitation, to find myself at a festival – not just any festival – my favorite festival, is a real feat. I really do think now I’ve done this, I really do believe I can do anything and nothing is going to stop me. It’s the start of the new me and I’m looking forward to what’s to come. – Curtis Because we were originally going to Tomorrowland two months after his accident, obviously I had to break the news to him about we weren’t going. After that, it’s always been our goal to go again. But we thought we were going to go next year. So the fact that he’s recovered enough to be able to go this year, it’s just amazing. He never thought we would have got that this year. – Stacey Julian & Danté: We Are Tomorrow Julian and Danté (both 27) from Argentina became best friends at high school. As 14-year-olds they were completely mesmerized by Tomorrowland. They had no idea such music festivals existed and were totally overwhelmed. At the time, they were chatting to each other about how much they wanted to experience something like this for themselves, and it became their ultimate dream. A dream that seemed immensely far away for two young Argentinians who were struggling. They felt like they were on the wrong side of the world, in a place with little work, having to watch their own families struggle to make ends meet. After graduating, Julian started working as a developer and started saving money and looking for ways to go abroad. Since November 2023, he has been living and working as a developer in Australia. At the end of last year, he decided to make their joint dream come true, booking Global Journey tickets for the two of them, unbeknownst to Danté. Julian paid for everything. Danté didn’t know what hit him, because for him at that moment, the dream seemed further than ever. The news that Julian is making his dream come true is a huge bright spot in his life. For Danté, it will be the first time he leaves Argentina, and the first time at a music festival. I couldn’t have done it without him. I could have gone alone, but given the passion that we both have for the festival, I would have felt incomplete if it wasn’t with him. – Julian Electronic music is the only music that lifts me up in any state of mind and it’s the only one that makes me feel something that no one else gives me. To think that we had dreamed about this for so long in high school. Unbelievable. The dream of coming here to Tomorrowland was born around 2012. We started watching videos, songs with pictures from the festival and we noticed that we really liked the music. The desire for coming was getting bigger and bigger. – Danté Héline ​Héline (18) lives with her mother and father in Singapore and is in the final year of her high school. Her brother lives in Canada, but the family tries to come together at least once a year. As she is turning 18 years old this year, Héline’s parents surprised her with a family trip to Tomorrowland. Their visit to the festival will also be a goodbye, since Héline will stay in Rotterdam to study and will have to miss her parents and brother for a really long time. When I was just looking at the crowd and just wondering how everyone has their own story and their own life, their own loved ones. It made me feel like myself. I felt good. I feel like no one would judge you. I was there to just have fun. It’s nice to be able to be with other people who are there for the same reasons. I feel like people are just here to celebrate life and love. – Héline The post Tomorrowland presents new documentary ‘We Are Tomorrow’ appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

  19. As a crucial Drumcode Records crew member, Dutch producer Bart Skils is world-revered for his best-selling powerhouse Techno releases like ‘Roll The Dice’ and his mesmerising sets. But he likes to pay it forward too, finding and nurturing new talent for Adam Beyer’s label, hence SUDO’s (Japanese brothers Isao & Takashi) hugely successful recent Drumcode debut EP Real World. Skils collabs with SUDO on ‘Nexus’, and with Drunken Kong (‘Dee’ Singh & DJ Kyoko) on ‘Set It Right’, who are globally respected Tokyo Techno maestros, WOMB residents, and Beatport chart regulars, who had their Drumcode debut in 2023 with the I Want To See EP. “This year I wanted to focus on a few special collab tracks“, says Skils. “Both Dee’s and Isao’s other releases I’ve been playing a lot in my sets and it got me thinking a combination of our sounds could kickstart something big“. “Both tracks came out amazing. The one with Dee leans more into a phat building groove and the Isao track gets the psychedelic rolling with some fantastic synth work.“ -Bart Skils ‘Nexus’ is a solid wall of fast, come-at-you Techno, joined by melodic, almost chime-sounding short synth chords creating a spacey feel and dominating the main breakdown before a dangerously entrancing drop. SUDO were very excited to collaborate and release this special track, since they’ve respected Bart for a very long time. “‘Nexus’ is inspired by nostalgia but with modern and energetic essence“, the duo said. Bart Skils’ collaboration with Drunken Kong — ‘Set It Right’ — lightens without softening its sternly bounding Techno, with a resonant echoing vocal title-riff and portentous, even minatory, synth chords setting the nerves tingling – and another epic drop for the EP. “We have always loved Bart`s music so when the idea of a collaboration came, we were very excited. For ‘Set It Right’, we focused on making a big groove while keeping things simple but effective. We are very happy with how the track came out!“ -Drunken Kong You can listen to Bart Skils’ new EP Sakura below and on all available streaming platforms. Stay tuned for more news!

  20. Renowned for its progressive approach to curation, CRSSD Festival is nestled along the shores of the San Diego Bay, Waterfront Park, which serves as a scenic haven for music fans. Throughout the two day festival (Sept 28 + 29), attendees can revel in the impeccably curated sounds of 3 distinct stages amidst cityscape views and picturesque sunsets. As night falls, CRSSD extends its reach across the city, hosting a variety of after-parties at clubs, venues, and converted spaces. This seamless blend of daytime bliss and nighttime partying makes CRSSD the ultimate destination for Electronic music enthusiasts seeking forward-thinking programming at every turn. With a star-studded lineup, it’s hard to prioritize all the amazing talent, but here’s our top 5 recommendations (in no particular order)! Gesaffelstein Still on his Enter The Gamma Tour, Gesaffelstein has been busy this year riding his comeback wave from his new album GAMMA. Dubbed the “Dark Prince of Techno“, this Paris-based DJ-producer reconnects Hard Techno to its Industrial roots. To mainstream audiences Gesa is known for collaborating with Kanye West on two standout tracks on 2013’s stunning Yeezus album – the abrasive ‘Send It Up’ and the astonishing Glam-Punk Rap riot ‘Black Skinhead’, a co-production with Daft Punk and Levy’s friend Brodinski. But Gesaffelstein has been building up a name among Dance fans for decades. Releases on the OD, Zone and Bromance labels showcasing an ever-developing individual style with distinctive ominous undertones. Remixes for Lana del Rey, Justice, The Hacker, Laurent Garnier and heroes Depeche Mode put his unique sound – harsh but beautiful, sometimes brutal but always delicately structured – front and center. Klangkuenstler Berliner and provocateur of Hard Techno, Klangkuenstler doesn’t come to the US often, so fans of the genre won’t want to miss out on this set. Growing up in the southernmost corner of Germany’s Allgäu area, it was his first clubbing experiences at Munich’s Harry Klein that infected him with Electronic music. Following his evolving passion for grooves and bass lines, he moved to Berlin in 2012. Driven by the German capital’s music and club variety, Klangkuenstler soon not only emerged as a DJ and live act, but also emphasised his multi-faceted personality by way of his initial singles: while ‘Barfuss auf Wolken’ was released in 2013 by the quality label Stil vor Talent and reached more than one million plays online, ‘Hand in Hand’ (Soundplate) was supported in the BBC Radio 1 show by Rob Da Bank. Tini Gessler A relative newcomer, Tini Gessler has risen through the music scene remarkably quickly. Starting out playing small parties in her home town of Sitges, Tini was soon picked up by Pacha Barcelona where she held a three-year residency and it wasn’t long before she found herself playing at iconic clubs including Space and Pacha Ibiza. Since then Tini has cemented herself as part of the Elrow team, as resident DJ for their underground label KER. Gaining identity for her pumping Deep / Tech House sets, Tini has played across Europe and throughout Central and South America- notably at Rioma Club in Mexico DF with Marc Houle. As an elrow regular Tini also frequently plays alongside international artists such as Jamie Jones, Paco Osuna and Joseph Capriati. Tini Gessler’s ascent in the music industry is a story of talent meeting opportunity. Gorgon City The UK duo has been around for a while now, but has always been able to stay relevant through their constantly evolving sound as well as mainstream collaborations. Now on their 5th studio album Reverie, the two continue their success with headlining slots across the globe. Head of their own label, Realm Records, Gorgon City is a curator of some of the best vibes out there. You can always rely on them for a good show. Nora En Pure The scenery of San Diego’s Waterfront Park was made to go with Nora’s signature Melodic House and Techno. The South African born DJ Producer is a core member of the Helvetic Nerds group, Nora leads listeners out of the darker realms of Deep House with intricate instrumentals and enlightening melodies. Every track she gets her hands on turns to gold and every performance she gives leaves the audience in awe. Her Purified brand has gained notoriety, radio shows, and curated events across the globe. Globally renowned and adored for her cinematic soundscapes and ethereal performances, she has spent the last few years working relentlessly to reach the pinnacle of the Dance music scene.

  21. Lane 8 has revealed a new album, Childish. Announcing the project today, the deep house superstar, whose real name is Daniel Goldstein, paints a picture of an album that more so resembles a time machine. He's trading in his producer's chair for a spot on the living room floor, rediscovering the joy of creation sans the pressure of pleasing the masses. Inspired by his own experiences as a father, Childish, Goldstein says, channels the unrestrained imagination of his kids and his younger self. "as parents, we’ve always tried to provide the materials and space for them to create, but to then step back and let them be themselves and focus without interfering," Goldstein writes. "seeing the joy and the confidence that creating in their own way brings them has been one of the most eye-opening parts of parenthood for me." View the original article to see embedded media. Childish is scheduled to release on September 27th via Lane 8's own label, This Never Happened. Fans can anticipate a collection that captures the whimsy of making music for the sheer love of it, promising a departure from his ethereal style by embracing spontaneity and the simple pleasure of creation. "when you make a living off your art, people need to like what you make for the whole thing to work," Goldstein continues. "a pressure to please others starts to creep into the creative process, whether you want it to or not. it was only by watching our kids create that i fully appreciated how much my own process had changed. it hurt to admit it at first, but what followed was a new sense of liberation and motivation, because i knew it didn’t have to be that way." "and so, with a determination to explore a more childish side of my creativity, this album slowly came together. i tried to think as little as possible about end results, and instead focus only on finding joy in the moment, and chasing that feeling for as long as i could." Childish is Lane 8's first full-length album since Reviver, which released back in January 2022. In a heartwarming homage to its title, the cover art for this playground of sound features an illustration created by his 7-year-old daughter, Heidi. You can pre-save Childish here.

  23. David Guetta does not just break records in the music world; The French DJ has sold his Miami Beach condo for a record-setting $16 Million. In 2018, he purchased a stunning condo from billionaire Richard LeFrak at the prestigious Setai Miami Beach for $9.5 million. The luxurious residence, perched high above the city, offered the French artist sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Miami skyline. Six years later, Guetta has set a new per-square-foot price record for Miami Beach condos. The 37th-floor unit, sold in an off-market deal to an undisclosed buyer last week, spans 2,525 square feet with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. For $6,337 per square foot, it marks the highest price paid per square foot in Miami Beach history and ranks second overall in Miami-Dade County for non-penthouse condos. The condo boasts three exposures, providing breathtaking views of the ocean by day and the city’s illuminated skyline by night. For owners seeking to recoup costs, the Setai allows short-term rentals and extended stays; during his travels, Guetta reportedly rented out the unit for up to $28,000 per week or $50,000 per month. The condo’s sleek, all-white interior is equipped with Sonos speakers throughout its open-concept layout. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area offer expansive ocean views, while a spacious balcony extends the living space outdoors. The primary bedroom also features a private balcony, an ensuite bathroom, and large windows that fill the room with natural light. Residents of the 40-story Setai tower enjoy access to a host of luxury amenities, including three climate-controlled infinity pools, the on-site Valmont spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the exclusive Les Clefs d’Or concierge service. Last year David bought a brand-new ultra-modern home on the ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Island enclave.

  25. A man was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries over the weekend after two suspects stabbed him with a knife and a machete in a Melbourne nightclub, according to local reports. Authorities on Sunday morning arrived at Revolver Upstairs around 4am to respond to calls surrounding the attack, per a statement issued by Victoria Police. The suspects fled the area before they arrived and an investigation is now underway. "A 31-year-old Endeavour Hills man sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment," police said. Revolver's owners temporarily shut down the venue and cancelled a scheduled Sunday night performance by Bag Raiders, the ARIA Award-nominated electronic music duo behind the global dance hit "Shooting Stars." It's the second knife attack at a Melbourne nightclub over the course of the last month. Just three blocks from Revolver, a man was stabbed outside the Love Machine nightclub on August 16th after a brawl broke out onto the street. The victim, 18, suffered multiple stab wounds before doctors placed him in a medically induced coma, 9News reported at the time. The victim of the attack at Revolver is in critical but stable condition, according to the Australian Associated Press. "We are heartbroken by the violent incident that took place at Revolver Upstairs this morning," the venue said in a statement released on social media. "Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this terrible event."
