Closing this summer with a bang, Faithless just released their latest single ‘I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell)’. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as they gear up to celebrate the 26th anniversary of their iconic track ‘God Is A DJ’ and prepare for a full-live UK tour later this year. With reviews pouring in from their recent headline show at Glastonbury and a stunning new live set-up wowing audiences on their sold-out UK/EU tour, Faithless is proving that they are still at the top of their game after eight years. The new single, ‘I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell)’, is a heartfelt tribute to the greats who have passed, including their longtime collaborator LSK. Known for their ability to blend melancholic and euphoric elements seamlessly, Faithless delivers a track that is both beautiful and bumping, evoking a range of emotions from listeners. With dance floor mixes on the horizon, this track is sure to have fans dancing the night away. ‘I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell)’ is built around the words of long-time collaborator LSK: a peon to some of the greats who have passed (including, of course, Maxi Jazz himself). Faithless are OG’s when it comes to delivering a melancholic/euphoric sweet spot in the rave, so it’ll be a surprise to no one they have conjured an absolute masterclass in beautiful, bumping, emotive House. To be followed by dance floor mixes the track will have you dancing, crying and holding your best friends near. ‘I’m Not Alone’ arrives ahead of their upcoming UK tour in Autumn which includes an unmissable Brixton homecoming date on the 14th of November. Tickets for their dates earlier in the year evaporated in minutes, so sleep on these ones at your peril. It’s been almost three decades since Faithless made their debut, and in that span time the iconic UK act has made an unparalleled impact on the Dance music landscape. One of the most influential electronic acts of the 21st century, they’ve sold over 20 million albums including seventeen Top 40 singles, six Top 10 albums (three at #1), and amassed over a billion combined streams to date.

Today, music’s most explosive it-girl Sara Landry (with a fanbase of over 1 million followers on Instagram alone) unveils news about her highly-anticipated debut album Spiritual Driveby. Hot on the heels of her history-making Tomorrowland performance and a massive LA takeover, which included TWO sold-out Factory 93 nights and a pop-up tarot / merch experience. The latter took place at LA’s beloved metaphysical destination House of Intuition. The dynamite prepares to shatter boundaries once again. She will be revealing a genre-bending anthology that blurs the lines between the underground and the avant-garde. ‘Spiritual Driveby’ Her debut is set to drop on October 4 (via her imprint HEKATE). Spiritual Driveby is a collaborative offering that demonstrates Landry’s artistic duality, versatility and intuitive depth. The 12-track opus is a thunderous testament to the power of collective energy. One, which unfolds as a visceral odyssey meant to feel both intensely personal and universally shared. The album represents a ceremonial space where the sacred interplay of collaboration is as integral to the music as the sounds themselves. Each track was produced alongside Landry’s friends and industry counterparts. “This sonic offering was motivated and inspired by the notion that none of us are alone because we are all energetically linked“, says Landry. “Everything we do is interwoven and collaborative, whether we realize it or not“. “Every musical experience we’ve ever had, every show we’ve been to, every euphoric moment that echoes across time has been a collaborative experience and a stacking of energies.” -Sara Landry Artists joining Landry for her debut include Legendary producer Mike Dean, Electronic titans Nico Moreno, Shlømo, Aaron Hibell and more. And even her personal hypnotist – Restorative Hypnosis – whose mesmerizing vocals can be heard on the album’s prelude. The Sensation A sonic alchemist transforming Hard Techno sounds into transcendent experiences, Landry is an irrefutable force. In effect, she captivates global obsession and overhauls the scene through her dark, deliberate and divinely feminine lens. Catapulted from the underground to phenomenon status in 2023 following her viral Boiler Room set – the 3rd highest streamed segment to date with 6.3 million views, followed by Charli XCX at 5.8 Mil – Landry has earned critical acclaim. She is a provocateur at the helm of a global movement, pushing what has long been subversive into popular culture. Harnessing a brazenly unapologetic brand of artistry, Sara Landry is one of THE most in-demand names in music today. Her cult-like following sells out stages around the world with unprecedented fervor. In recent years, Hard Techno has seen a notable surge, attracting a young, highly engaged audience. Why? Well, they are driven by a post-pandemic thirst for cathartic release and the digital age of discovery. Landry, who boasts over 6.9 Mil likes on the platform, is the undeniable catalyst leading this revolution. The producer has popularized and established the cultural relevance for high BPMs with unbridled authenticity. She strips away preconceived notions of the genre through experiences that are equal parts immersive and spiritual. Moreover, Landry possesses the playful ability to connect with audiences, opening a captivating portal for sonic exploration. Thus, it ushers in a new generation of fans and elevates the category in an approachable way. Now that summer is over we can start getting spooky for the fall. And what a perfect way to enter October, with Spiritual Driveby around the corner. Thus, We will be definitely turning into our divine feminine then.

Now, they’ll return for a full show at the World Club Dome event in Frankfurt from September 6 to 8, 2024. At the core of FLAMENCA is an imaginary “Corrida” concept.

As a talented producer and DJ, he is the driving force behind the music of FLAMENCA. The post Flamenco and electronic music is a thing: meet FLAMENCA appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

Hi!, Who are you? Most people reading this know me as Jauz, but my real name is Sam. I’ve been making all kinds of electronic music as Jauz for over ten years now, and have run my label Bite This! Since 2018. What’s your ethos? The goal and “tagline” for the Jauz project has always been “Music Has No Boundaries.” I grew up listening to so many different styles of music and always would bounce between polar opposite styles and sounds based on my mood or the situation. Early on, I spent much time as a producer hyper-focused on making just one genre, Dubstep, and ended up frustrated and unhappy. When I was finally able to remind myself of who I was at my core and allowed myself to explore all of the different possibilities that there were in the dance music world- that’s when things began to click. My goal has always been to help broaden the horizons of people who are listening to my music, experiencing my shows, or seeing me at a festival. Tell us your origin story… As I started to say above, my musical palette growing up was all over the place. In my early years, I listened to everything from Bay Area hip-hop and rap, bands such as Linkin Park, and all the way to artists like Basshunter and DJ Scooter. When I was eleven or twelve though, I found Metallica. I ended up picking up a guitar and throwing myself into the metal and hardcore world. I was convinced that I would end up playing guitar in a band. I tried starting multiple bands, but it never really panned out. One day, one of my buddies showed me a video of someone making hip-hop beats on their computer, all by themself- that was the lightbulb moment for me. It just so happened that right around that time, many of my friends and peers were getting into dubstep and electronic music as a whole- so the transition from metal to dubstep seemed like a no-brainer to me. From that point on, I kind of knew exactly what I wanted to do. Where are you based? Tell us about your local scene. I live in Los Angeles, and so does my team, so we consider the LA-area home base. The scene here is extremely vibrant and has a long history of being one of the best places for electronic music in the United States. Not only do you have the legends Brownies & Lemonade playing a foundational role in building the scene, but Night Bass, OWSLA, and so many other labels who are instrumental in holding it down with various monthly events. Do you have a specific sound or vibe? You could ask 20 different fans of mine, and they would probably have 20 different answers. That was always the goal with the Jauz project anyway- to always keep the kids guessing, and never feel like I’m “pigeonholed” into one specific sound or the other. I treat my record label the same way, as well. We have a lot of intention behind finding artists that fit the ethos of our label, not by their sound or style, but by how they carry themselves as artists and people. Part of running a label is being a fan of music, and I’m a fan of so many different styles of dance music it wouldn’t be fair to just choose one or two styles. Do you have a regular artist roster – who can we see releasing with you? Short answer – no. When I first started Bite This!, my goal was to kind of be the opposite of most of the labels I saw at the time; that meant putting out as many songs, by as many different artists, as fast as possible. We did an incredible job with that, putting out hundreds of records from artists all over the globe. But as time went on and the label grew, I realised that we had hit a point of diminishing returns and I didn’t feel as if we were providing enough value to the artists who were trusting us with their music. I always look at the label as if I’m an artist who’s signed to the label, not the guy running it. From that perspective, I knew that we had to make some big changes. That being said, I still don’t believe in trying to “lockdown” artists or anything like that. The main change is you’ll be seeing a lot fewer releases from the label, with much more intention behind each one. I hope that means that artists will want to continue releasing with us and become “part of the label”, but it’s not a prerequisite at all. Again, as an artist, I want to be able to do whatever it is I want with my music. So as a label owner, all I want to do is empower that freedom. We just put out our inaugural “we’re back” EP, from Italian producer Albert Breaker. It’s a super sick 3-track of bass-heavy tech house with a lot of South American flavour. Albert has released on the label multiple times and it was important to me to start things back up with someone who had been part of the family before. Up next, we have an insane EP from one of my favourite new American bass acts named Edison Cole. His style of heavy bass music is right up my alley, and I think the kid is insanely talented. I have a feeling you’ll be hearing his name quite a bit around UKF in the near future. Tell us about your A&R process. For the longest time, and still quite a bit now, we’ve had so many insane demos flood into our demo email account and submission website via Label Radar. I know as an up-and-comer how many of those damn emails you have to send, so it always feels cool when we strike gold and can tell some kid, “Hey man, all of that effort was worth it.” Also, I love being able to give spotlights to kids who people have probably never heard of before – I feel like that’s one of the main responsibilities you have as a record label. That said, times have changed a lot since I started Bite This!. I’ve started finding tons of insane talent just by scrolling through Instagram Reels – something I used to hate doing, but I’ve kind of programmed my algorithm to consistently show me relatively unknown, crazy talented up-and-comers. Posting your WIPs on IG reels/TikTok is kind of the new version of how we used to post WIPs on SoundCloud back in the day, and part of kind of restarting the label was also understanding that the way we should be “digging through the crates” should reflect the new landscape of music. What makes you different from other labels? I feel like I’ve touched on a lot of the things that I feel make us stand out as a dance label, but the one thing I haven’t mentioned yet is our partnership with OneRPM. They’re the largest independent music distribution company on the planet, and when we met with them we realised that our goals and visions aligned very naturally. It’s been so awesome to have the resources and firepower of what could be considered a major label but with the freedom to operate exactly as we see fit & I’m so appreciative of them and their belief in us as a label. What does it take to run a bass music label in 2024? A whole lot more than it used to! Things have changed so much since 2018- I would argue mostly for the better. I think there’s never been a better time to be discovered as a new artist, and truly be able to “blow up overnight”. So the main thing, as I mentioned above, is not sticking to our old ways just because they worked in the past – but trying to understand and embrace the world in which we live now. We can’t just put out a record on the label, send it around a bit, post it on socials, and call it a day. There’s a lot more that goes into every single, EP, etc. which is why I’m so grateful to have a team like OneRPM behind us to help give every artist we work with the absolute greatest chance for success. What have you got coming up that we should look out for? I just released a new song, ‘Higher For Your Love’, that I’m absolutely obsessed with at the moment. It’s a super melodic drum-and-bass tune, and the vocals on it are just unreal man. I’m putting out a new song every month this year, so there’s plenty more to look out for as well!

*Featured Cover Photo Credit: Ashley Harrell / SFGATE On September 2nd, the Labor Day holiday, tens of thousands of Burning Man attendees enjoyed their last day at the festival’s playas. While departing (or trying to depart), the Burning Man attendees faced a heavy dust storm that affected traffic significantly. According to an article from The Daily Beast, the attendees faced delayed traffic times of up to 10 hours getting off-site. Not just that, the dust storm affected the visibility of the Burning Man attendees trying to leave by reducing it to just five feet. Burning Man Traffic‘s account on X (formerly Twitter) had a post at 07:24 p.m yesterday that had a travel time of “6 hours from Greeters to pavement”. The account at 08:21 p.m. also uploaded another updated post that also shown an expected travel time of 6 hours too, in addition to the frequent posts that showed 4-5 hour commute times as well. According to another article from SFGATE editor Ashley Harrell, who attended this year’s festival with her partner, the dust storm started during the Temple Burn on Friday night, August 30th. Since then, even during the famous burning of “The Man” statue, the dust storm still continued, much to the detriment of the Burning Man attendees trying to leave Black Rock City as quickly as possible. Photo Credit: Jason Ross / Reno Gazette Journal Current status of the Burning Man dust storm situation As of this current moment, Burning Man Traffic’s X account now has travel-time updates that state “1 hour from Greeters to pavement”. For the Burning Man attendees, the dust storm is another hectic event on and around the playas that have made their experiences in the 2024 edition something that will live on in their memories for a very long time. Earlier in the week, during the first day of the festival to be exact, an attendee died after she was found unresponsive and the attendee’s death occurred after the festival began after a 12-hour delay due to rain and muddy conditions. In addition, The Mirror reported that a man named Samer Naouri got under arrest for false imprisonment, kidnapping, and abduction, as well as a drug-related offense. Furthermore, a woman named Susie Holland had to pay a fine of $1,500 to the Nevada Transportation Authority and the impound lot for giving rides to people who were heading to Black Rock City for cash without a proper permit (under Nevada transportation regulations). For the majority of the Burning Man attendees who were trying to leave, even after packing all of their things into their vehicles/trailers/RVs, the dust storm have probably affected their physical and mental well-beings. The same goes if they hitchhiked or taking the bus (or ridesharing) as well. If they do plan on returning to Black Rock City next year, or anyone who is planning to attending their first Burning Man, preparing for worst-case traffic/storm scenarios should be an important task for them to include in their plans.

The song has also gained significant traction on social media, with related content amassing over 300,000 views on Instagram. The success was also built thanks to a popular solo challenge that has captured the attention of music fans worldwide. Quentyn describes his music as designed to evoke the feeling of a plot twist in a movie. The sounds are reminiscent of the moment when the underdog triumphs against all odds, fueled by determination and a brilliant master plan. “I Wanna Know” is no exception, embodying the motivation and strength to take action in life, rather than serving as an escape.
