In the wake of Lucidity Festival's sudden cancellation and the controversial decision by its organizers not to offer refunds, ticket-holders were left without a clear path forward. However, in a generous act of support for the festival community, Same Same But Different has decided to extend an offer: a free General Admission ticket to their 2024 event at Lake Perris State Park. The proprietors of SSBD, an unaffiliated festival property, share no financial ties with Lucidity and are extending the offer purely as a gesture of goodwill, according to a press release shared with EDM.com. The contentious cancellation of Lucidity came after months of delays and failed attempts to relocate the event to Monterey County, with organizers eventually ceasing operations due to financial pressures and logistical hurdles. The decision not to refund ticket-holders led to considerable backlash, leaving thousands of festival-goers in a financial hole. While Lucidity's collapse left a sour taste, SSBD is offering a lifeline. "We know how challenging these times can be, especially when the festival experiences we all cherish don't go as planned," reads a statement released by SSBD. "It's never easy when something you've been looking forward to doesn’t work out, and we understand how much time, energy and anticipation went into planning for Lucidity." Featuring a big lineup of electronic music artists the likes of Big Gigantic, Ganja White Night and LSDREAM, SSBD is making it known that they are well-positioned to welcome thousands of Lucidity ticket-holders from September 27-29. The enchanting festival will also feature sunrise-to-sunset DJ sets, a Vegas-inspired casino pop-up experience, yoga sessions, mindfulness workshops and much more. Fans looking to claim their free pass to SSBD 2024 can submit this form along with proof of their Lucidity ticket purchase. Find out more about the festival here.

When a DJ explicitely says they would not work with another artist, usually we would be shocked. However, DJ and Producer Fatboy Slim has a really understandable excuse as to why he would not be able to work with electronic star Fred again.. . Technology Savvy? Turns out Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim wouldn’t work with Fred Again.. only because Slim is far too old-school with his old equipment. He stated that would not be able to catch up to Fred’s. On an interview for Apple Music 1, Slim expressed that people have requested for both british artists to collaborate. However, Slim explained that Fred’s tech is far too advanced. He continued, that even into this century, he was using his Atari ST-based setup until he was peer-pressured to upgrade to a smaller laptop. He then had to learn Ableton, which was a challenge for him. Nevertheless, he was able to adapt and conquer well into this decade. Nevertheless, Cook still dabbles back into his retro-gear here and there. Whenever he can’t find inspiration in his laptop, he will go back to his Atari set up and let the flow carry his art. Furthermore, he gave Fred Again.. his flowers : f”I’m old school, i’m og and i’m used to just playing records with the cross fader and maybe just using a sample a bit, but he’s taking it to the next level, i don’t feel like i’m in the same conversation as him.” Fatboy Slim Jokingly, he also stated that he would feel lost producing during a session with Fred. He since considers Fred as a tech-wizard. Towards the end of the interview, Fatboy Slim announced that he has a new single on the way. Even though he was not as excited to reveal ‘Bus Stop Please’, we are extremely excited to enjoy more of the OG. Slim is currently Europe before touching down in North America For Escape Halloween in San Bernardino and Radius in Chicago.

This year marks the 25th edition of Isle of Wight Festival, including the three original events held in 1968, ‘69 and ‘70. To celebrate this landmark in music history, Experience 25 – an exhibition dedicated to the festival’s remarkable history – will run at the O2’s Innovation Centre from 19th September – 13th November. The grand space will play host to an archive documenting the festival’s most magical moments; from Bob Dylan’s 150,000 strong crowd in 1969 (which included three of The Beatles), to Amy Winehouse’s duet with Mick Jagger in 2007. Visitors will travel back in time and be invited into the office of Ray Foulk, the original curator of the first three festivals. Step inside an authentic recreation of Ray’s wonderfully creative and chaotic workspace and see how he and his team put together the historic events with a hippy ethos, overcoming a series of obstacles and dramas along the way. Also on display, original images and footage of performances by The Doors, The Who, Joni Mitchell, and even Hendrix shredding in front a 500,000 strong crowd in 1970. Experience the atmosphere of a moment in time – an era of hope and innocence. Guests will then be transported to 2002, when legendary promoter John Giddings revived the festival, beginning its hugely successful run to the present day. The Isle of Wight Festival now hosts 60,000 music fans a year. Relive David Bowie’s stunning headline set in 2004, Jay Z’s dominating performance in 2010 and Dave Grohl cementing himself in rock history 2011, all the way through to Green Day taking the reins as 2024’s unforgettable headliners. Experience 25’s London run finds its perfect home at the O2; a venue inextricably linked to the Isle of Wight Festival, where many of its artists throughout the years have graced the stage. John Giddings said: “The iconic Isle of Wight festival 1970 was the Woodstock of Europe, but the IOW Member of Parliament at the time, in all his wisdom, decided to ban it for 32 years in the form of an act of parliament – allowing others to pick up the baton… “They let us restart it for the Queen’s jubilee, and it has gone from strength to strength – re-establishing this small island off the south coast of England as a worldwide brand. “Here is a celebration of the last 22 years, with the original three years added by kind courtesy of Ray Foulk, without whom it, it would not exist…” Ray Foulk said: “My family is delighted to contribute to this commemorative show with historic items and archives as it travels from the Island to the O2. It is with great pride that our embryonic rock festivals of more than half a century ago have been so successfully and splendidly revived”. Experience 25 incorporates the three Isle of Wight Festivals that were organised by Ray Foulk and his brothers – the 1970 one being ‘The Last Great Event’ at which everyone played, including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Who and Joni Mitchell and over half a million people came to see them! Plus the new Isle of Wight Festival exhibition from 2002 onwards – the hugely successful international Festival, which was restarted by John Giddings, and now sees 60,000 music fans arrive on the Isle of Wight every year to see artists such as Green Day, The Pet Shop Boys and The Prodigy (this year); Robbie Williams, Blondie and Pulp (2023); Fleetwood Mac (2016); The Red Hot Chili Peppers (2014); Bruce Springsteen (2012); Dave Grohl (2011); Paul McCartney, Pink and Jay Z (2010), The Rolling Stones and Amy Winehouse (2007) and David Bowie and The Who (2004).

Police in Berlin are searching for a man suspected of ramming his car into the entryway of a nightclub, Sisyphos, after being denied entry, according to local reports. Berliner Zeitung, one of the city's oldest newspapers, on Monday reported that the incident took place shortly before 6am on September 7th, when a pair of security guards refused the man's entrance to Sisyphos. "The two security guards, aged 26 and 41, turned him away, which he initially politely acknowledged and then left," per Berliner Zeitung. "Shortly afterwards, however, he returned in a rental car, completely upset, and deliberately drove into the club's entrance gate twice." The suspect drove his rented Audi into the wall of Sisyphos before reversing and colliding with the club's famed gate, which features a design of kissing ducks. He reportedly fled the scene and no one was injured, including the bouncers, who narrowly managed to evade his vehicle by jumping back to the sidewalk. Additional details surrounding the alleged crash are scarce, but an investigation is underway as local authorities seek testimony from witnesses. The extent of the damage to Sisyphos' exterior is unclear at the time of this writing and the club's proprietors have not yet publicly commented.

Four Tet Ellie Goulding "In My Dreams" In a world of sonic conformity, "In My Dreams" is a refreshing breath of unconventional brilliance. Released moments ago via Three Six Zero Recordings, the new single is a distorted dreamscape of dance music that's both mesmerizing and unsettling. Goulding's voice, as delicate as ever, plunges us into a dream within a dream. She sings of "just visiting" our dreams, a phantasmic figure gliding through the subconscious. Meanwhile, Four Tet's production adds layers upon layers of grungy intensity. Four Tet says the new collaboration began when Goulding came up with a song idea and recorded voice notes containing lyrics and melodies. She then sent them in text messages and asked him if he was interested in producing a track around the vocal bits. "I found other noises to go with it and made 'In My Dreams,'" he explained in a press release. "[Goulding] added some new vocal parts but we ended up keeping the voice note recordings as the main vocal. I guess the first take is often the most magical. I wanted to make something that was all about juxtaposing harsh aggressive sound with the delicate and intimate." The influential producer previously enlisted Goulding for a feature on "Baby," a track from 2020's Sixteen Oceans, his 10th studio album. He then remixed Goulding's "Easy Lover" in 2022, leading to a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording. You can find "In My Dreams" on streaming platforms here.

With an uncanny ability to set an ecstatic mood through her music, the inimitable Anna Lunoe is set to release her debut album, Pearl. It's a big moment for the prolific Australian artist, who says she's laying bare her artistry in ways fans haven't yet seen. "When I started out in dance music as a local DJ, my dream was to fill dancefloors and pay my rent," Lunoe said in a press release. "As my career expanded and the industry changed and I got thrown into new challenge after new challenge, I always felt like my artist voice had to be secondary to my DJ needs. So in a way this marks a kinda colossal shift in perspective on my career to date, putting my artistry at the front in a way I never have before." Lunoe, who will soon support The Weeknd on tour in Australia, is known for her versatility as a producer, creating rapturous dance music rooted in house, garage, techno and more. Following July's release of "Only Love," she's now back on Nina Las Vegas' NLV Records with "Pearl," the title track from the new album. Though powerful in her production, Lunoe infuses an airy softness into the uplifting single to deliver a bubbly track fit for both a sunny stroll or a sweaty dancefloor. The record, she says, finds her at her "most sincere." "To me the sentiment in this song is about fighting for your spirit and creative force in a world that isn't really designed for us to hold on to it," Lunoe said in a press release. "Sonically this was an exercise in emotion and clarifying a feeling as opposed to straight up club tune-making—it's more sincere than I've allowed myself to be publicly before, but those few who get to hear my scruffy demos know this Anna well." You can check out the new single below and pre-save Pearl here. The album is scheduled to release October 25th, 2024.

Before Nala and VNSSA ever started DJing together, they were exchanging oyster photos in a group chat they named, "We're F***king Eating." Although the food photos have since slowed down and dachshund pics now reign supreme, the two continue to share not only a palpable chemistry, but also a companionship that has only grown stronger over the years. The friendship began thanks to Dirtybird. They met in-person for the first time mid-pandemic, around 2021, at a drive-in rave. VNSSA, whose real name is Vanessa Barnes, arrived early to see Nala, Stefania Aronin, play her set. After crossing paths at the show, the two then started hanging out and DJing together. "We would complain about the male-dominated music industry to each other, and share experiences with that and connect through that," Barnes tells EDM.com in an exclusive interview. VNSSA and Nala of Girl Math.VNSSA/Nala/Instagram It wasn't long before Barnes and Aronin were booked for their first b2b performance together during Miami Music Week with Walker & Royce's label, Rules Don't Apply. "[Walker & Royce] were joking that our duo name would be VaNala Ice," Barnes recalls with a laugh. "That’s where it started and then we were getting more b2b offers, and we were like, maybe we should just make this a thing." As the demand for their b2b sets increased, the duo had to decide on a collaborative nom de plume. They were preparing for their debut performance at Coachella's beloved Do LaB when the name finally materialized. "There was a moment where I was like, it should be 'girl' something," Aronin says. "It had that punk edge to it." "Our friend Nikki has this joke: four plus four equals 'ate,'" Barnes adds. "So we were like, 'Girl Math,' that should be the name. But it's more than just that... Having 'girl' in the name gives us empowerment and it feels like a feminist movement." View the original article to see embedded media. Girlhood means "everything," Aronin and Barnes agreed. "There's this implied thing with girlhood that's like, we're great at everything and we hold it all down, and sometimes that goes without credit," Aronin explains. "So girlhood is about getting shit done, even if it means not totally getting acknowledged for the work that went into it." Nala and VNSSA, each of whom are star DJs and producers in their own right, found that girlhood in the music industry was inextricably linked with isolation and disillusionment. The opportunity to collaborate cultivated a sense of unity and comfort, they said, that ultimately aided in their creative process and tightened their bond. "Touring by yourself, it’s really easy to get burnt out and it’s just boring alone. So it’s a lot more fun having a partner in crime," Barnes says. "Playing together, you have another person where you can bounce ideas off and instead of just trusting yourself, you have someone else that you can rely on. So it's just nice to have that kind of support." Girl Math have now performed at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Splash House and other major music festivals. They're now gearing up for their first headlining show, which is scheduled for November 1st at the Chocolate Factory Theater in New York City. VNSSA and Nala of Girl Math.VNSSA/Nala/Instagram Drawing inspiration from their respective backgrounds in rock music, the pair found common ground in live instrumentation and began to infuse those shared interests into their music with a punk twist. Aronin said she's great at "coming up with random sound design concepts" while Barnes provides a lot of Girl Math's "structure, stability and direction." "It's just my anxiety," Barnes says with a laugh, blushing over the compliment. While Aronin brings her affinity for Riot grrrl-influenced vocals to the table, Barnes offers drumming skills with a metal focus. It was a match made in heaven. "I thought being a drummer in a metal band was the coolest thing you could ever do prior to being a DJ," Aronin gushes. "So I was like, we need to incorporate this history on both sides and turn this into something that's rowdy and fun and chaotic. That’s where we met in the middle—a rock-focused approach to music. And when I say structure, I really mean drums. She brings the drums on a really solid, structured level." "We want to take as much live music inspiration as possible," Barnes adds. "I think you'll be able to hear that in our production as well. Because there's a lot of live drum elements along with synths and Nala’s vocals. It gives it a very gritty, rebellious sound. It's the mix of us together." Through the singular lens of Girl Math, Aronin and Barnes say they ultimately hope to inspire other female producers in the electronic music scene. "Do whatever the fuck you want and make whatever the fuck you want," Barnes says with a grin. "Don't worry what anyone else thinks. Do whatever makes you feel good." "Surround yourself with people who are supportive," Aronin adds, "and fuck everyone else."
