YouTube Is Experimenting With AI-Generated Music Remixes for Creators
YouTube is tapping into generative AI and prompt engineering to allow creators to effortlessly remix songs for their Shorts, The Verge reports. While remixing typically requires a great deal of production finesse, the platform's new AI feature, currently in beta, lets creators easily "restyle" licensed music into punchy 30-second clips. Testers chosen to participate can reportedly take their pick from a library of eligible tracks before forming a prompt, which reworks various elements of the music. "These restyled soundtracks will have clear attribution to the original song through the Short itself and the Shorts audio pivot page, and will also clearly indicate that the track was restyled with AI," according to YouTube. The new feature is an expansion of YouTube’s AI-powered "Dream Track" experiment, which empowers creators to legally utilize the AI-generated voices of artists such as Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, John Legend and more. The specific songs available to beta testers have not yet been made clear, nor have the record labels with whom YouTube is partnering. However, YouTube is engaging in discussions with the three major record labels, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group and Warner Music Group, to pay "lump sums of cash" in exchange for the rights to train their AI models on the companies' music, according to a report by the Financial Times. YouTube has not yet revealed plans to publicly roll out the new generative AI feature at the time of this writing.

Future President Trump Likely to Reverse TikTok Ban
As Trump gears up for another term, new reports suggest he’s poised to reverse his previous ban on TikTok, signaling a pivot that could keep the platform thriving in the U.S. A Shift in Strategy for TikTok Reports from the Washington Post, New York Times, and Associated Press indicate that President-elect Donald Trump is expected to reverse his initial stance on TikTok, a position he aggressively held during his first term. Back in 2020, Trump’s executive order aimed at banning the app was blocked by a federal court, which ruled that his use of emergency powers overstepped legal boundaries. Now, insiders familiar with his views hint that Trump is likely to embrace the platform rather than restrict it, especially considering his recent popularity on TikTok, where he’s gained over 14 million followers. During his campaign, he even encouraged voters who support the app to back him, pledging to “save TikTok” from potential restrictions. Opposition to the New Legislation In a surprising twist, Trump has publicly opposed the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, signed by outgoing President Joe Biden. This law, aimed at forcing ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, to sell its U.S. operations, sets a deadline of January 19—just a day before Trump’s inauguration. Trump has voiced strong opinions against enforcing this law, expressing concerns about the effects of a TikTok sale on both free speech and market competition. In a CNBC interview, he criticized the potential ban, stating, “Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people.” ByteDance’s Hopes and Trump’s Options For ByteDance, Trump’s return could be a lifeline. According to sources cited by the Washington Post, the company had anticipated that Trump’s victory might lead to a reconsideration of the current restrictions. ByteDance proposed “Project Texas,” a plan to work with the U.S. government on data oversight, which the Biden administration rejected. However, under Trump’s administration, such a compromise may now gain traction. Trump could also avoid enforcing the app store restrictions in the interim or work with Congress to repeal any impending ban. However, as one legal expert told Politico, “Trump is incredibly fickle,” leaving the door open to various outcomes. Conway’s Take: TikTok and Personal Choice Longtime Trump ally Kellyanne Conway notes that Trump’s stance aligns with his broader philosophy against government overreach and bans, which she attributes primarily to Democrats. According to Conway, Trump values TikTok’s broad reach and sees it as a tool for engaging millions of Americans, especially younger users. She stated that Trump recognized early on that the “party of bans” had traditionally leaned Democratic, with restrictions on everything from gas-powered cars to menthol cigarettes, adding that Trump’s defense of TikTok reinforces his position on personal choice. As Trump prepares to take office, TikTok’s future in the U.S. seems brighter, potentially reversing the app’s earlier turmoil and establishing it as a mainstay for American social media users.

Wynn Nightlife to Debut Groundbreaking Dance-Country Event, Desert Saddle
With their latest event, Wynn Nightlife is out to prove that even in the velvet-lined corridors of Las Vegas, there's room for a little Southern comfort. The company, a vanguard of Vegas' storied nightlife sector, has announced Desert Saddle, its first-ever hybrid dance-country event. The two-day takeover of XS Nightclub is scheduled for December 6-7, aligning with the National Finals Rodeo, the premier championship event for professional rodeo in the US.

Headliners of the inaugural Desert Saddle event include Kane Brown, Marshmello, Brandi Cyrus, Dustin Lynch and VAVO. Cyrus, the eldest daughter of country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus, has long-championed the dance music community. "I think my favorite thing about it is just how much of a family it feels like," Cyrus told EDM.com in a May interview. "The dance music community really is so loving and so welcoming and loves to discover new artists and new music. I think that's such a cool thing that you don't see all the time."

deadmau5 – Jaded (Volaris Remix)
In 2007, global electronic music icon deadmau5 released a very limited run of the song ‘Jaded.’ Now, 17 years later, mau5trap is pleased to offer ‘Jaded’ in a four track ep package for the first time ever on digital and streaming. Today’s mau5trap ‘Jaded’ package features the re-release of the original song, an ambient mix, a special ‘Re_Jaded’ mix and a remix from rising producer Volaris. Following the Layton Giordani remix of ‘Strobe,’ Jauz’ ‘Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff,‘ John Summit’s ‘I Remember,‘ and Rebuke’s ‘Not Exactly,‘ another classic from deadmau5’ illustrious repertoire has received the remix treatment from today’s top producer talents with a new twist. Listen here. “‘Jaded’ was one of the first tunes that got me fully into progressive house. It is such an infectious tune, when I got asked to remix it, I was nervous as what can you do to an already huge and iconic record. I’ve made so many versions of this remix as I really wanted to do it justice. Ultimately this isn’t here to compete with the original as nothing ever will but I hope you like my take on this iconic tune.” — Volaris Volaris burst onto the electronic music scene in 2022 with the Armada-backed debut, “Through The Night,” immediately earning the nod from industry heavyweight John Summit. The track not only marked Volaris as the inaugural artist on Summit’s Off The Grid Records but also set the stage for a relentless pursuit of sonic innovation. Anonymous no more, Volaris’ presence became undeniable when John Summit featured the then-ID “Slow Motion” during a live set in Ushuaïa Ibiza. The subsequent deluge of demands for its release underscored the magnetic pull of Volaris’ sound. The name “Volaris,” meaning “you will fly,” encapsulates Nathan’s mission to break free from constraints. Volaris extends beyond the artist; it’s a celebration of life’s highs and lows. His label HORIZN, an embodiment of Nathan’s philosophy, urges individuals to seize each day with a poignant reminder that every day is a gift. His music, an anthem of liberation and an embrace of life’s uncertainties, resonates far beyond sound systems inviting all who listen to defy limits, rise above, and make each day their own.

DJ Snake Teams Up With Hamza For New Single ‘Diana’
World-renowned multi-platinum producer DJ Snake shares new single ‘Diana,’ a deeply grooved track featuring Belgian artist Hamza. Throughout his record-breaking career, DJ Snake has been known for experimenting with sounds all around the world, but with “Diana” he’s delivered his first ever French speaking collaboration, a special homage to his home country just months before he’s set to take the stage for a sold-out show at historic Stade de France in Paris on May 10th, 2025. Hamza has built a reputation for blending trap, R&B, and unique melodic flows, distinguishing him as one of Belgium’s most influential urban artists making this an especially exciting collaboration. ‘Diana’ arrives alongside an official music video which leans into the song’s intimate, afterhours energy. In it, Hamza shows up to Snake’s studio, but as the slow-burning synth, bass throb, and busy percussion pick up, he’s transported to a red-lit room. A taunting vision haunts him both in the empty club and back in the booth, before Snake takes a sampler solo that sets the song alight. Today’s release sets the stage for DJ Snake’s long-awaited return to his home country, performing in Paris once again after three years. The show is set to take place at historic Stade de France, the main stadium of the Paris Olympics on May 10th, 2025. As the most-listened to French artist in the world, and having sold out the entire stadium (with a capacity of 85,000) in under five minutes, this is poised to be an iconic and career-defining night for DJ Snake. See more information HERE. ‘Diana’ is the latest in a string of singles for DJ Snake, including most recent ‘Complicated‘ featuring Fridayy and smash international hit ‘Teka‘ featuring global sensation Peso Pluma. The record stayed on heavy rotation all summer after an exciting debut at Coachella in April. With ‘Diana’, DJ Snake continues to prove his global dominance, effortlessly weaving sounds from around the world with his dynamic production to endlessly create hits that transcend cultural and genre boundaries.

Fueled by the kind of white-knuckle intensity that has established him as one of the electronic music scene's biggest breakouts, Knock2 today announced an international headlining tour, "nolimit."

Knock2 is also poised to unveil an ambitious, brand-new stage production dubbed "The Stack," according to a press release. It's an exciting development for the EDM.com Class of 2023 star, whose aversion to convention on the live stage has positioned him as a trailblazing DJ.

Muse Sessions allows artists to have Remote Music Collaboration
A solid infrastructure of tools for remote collaborative work exists in every industry except audio. While designers have Figma and businesses have Microsoft Teams, the music and audio industry is still stuck in the Stone Age—defaulting to emails and shared drives to collaborate. Now, Muse, a new Zoom-like platform for musicians, makes it possible for creators to effortlessly connect and make music together online in real-time. With users in 174 countries who have already clocked more than 25 million minutes in sessions, Muse is well on its way to powering a more accessible industry where global creators can collaborate from anywhere. On the surface, the Muse app looks similar to popular video call platforms, but it has opened the door to an entirely new way of creating music online. Now, engineers can run remote mix sessions by streaming HQ audio and responding to feedback in real time. Producers can pull in musicians to remotely record instruments directly into their DAW. Built-in features like file sharing, screen sharing, and screen control eliminate the headaches from bouncing between multiple platforms and searching through email threads for the latest version of a recording. “Luis (Caballero, Muse CEO) and his team have created a technology that consistently delivers exceptional video and audio quality, enabling music creators to collaborate effortlessly with our musicians, as if they were in the same studio room,” says Xavier Jameson, Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Musiversal. “Together, we’ve raised the bar and set a new gold standard for remote recording.” Thanks to the Muse Audio Engine, Muse is compatible with all pro audio equipment, allowing users to connect their gear and choose multiple channels from devices. Users can stream lossless PCM 32-bit audio, designed to prioritize stability and faster audio streaming. The new workflows introduced by Muse have not only caught the attention of Akon, but all types of musicians across the audio industry—ranging from young bedroom producers to GRAMMY Award-winning engineers, composers, and producers working with artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar. For Enrico De Paoli, a Multi-Grammy Award-Winning Music Engineer (Ray Charles, Elton John), Muse significantly improved his workflow: “Things that were once impossible have become possible, and tasks that were bureaucratic and tedious have become simple. In short, Muse has been a complete transformation!” Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Muse co-founder and CEO Luis Caballero left his software engineering job in 2018 and split his time between making music and building meme pages to promote his music. As his meme pages grew, studio owner and future Muse co-founder Austin Dunn stumbled across Caballero’s account and convinced him to move to LA to promote music with memes for record labels. While in LA, Caballero quickly realized how difficult it was to make music with his friends back in Oklahoma: “The music collaboration tools in 2019 were unreliable, complicated, and fragmented. We had to patch together multiple apps to recreate the in-person studio experience, and even then, I still couldn’t do fundamental things like record audio or MIDI. I knew there had to be a better way.” Caballero began conceptualizing his idea of Muse and brought it to Dunn who initially said it was “the dumbest idea he had ever heard”…until a global pandemic sent everyone home from studios for lockdown. The need for remote collaboration was more prevalent than ever, and while Zoom was great for regular conferencing, the more intimate and technical experience of creating music together demanded another solution. That’s when Caballero reached out to his longtime friend and business partner, Sung Choi, who was serving in the Korean military at the time. Outside of boot camp, Choi worked tirelessly with Caballero to build the first prototype of Muse. But Choi’s work didn’t stop there, as he went on to build an entire audio engine from scratch (the one used in Muse today) and serve as CTO of Muse. As Muse continues to grow their team, develop more features, and reach their goal of connecting musicians across the world, the music industry is also starting to pay attention. While the magic felt during in-person sessions are undeniably irreplaceable online, Muse acts as a tool in the industry to facilitate more efficient and accessible workflows. For example, A&Rs can now listen to a shared HQ audio stream while on a video conference, artists can watch their engineer tweak a session from their own bedroom, and songwriting camps can make space for musicians from different backgrounds and cultures around the world. Throughout every phase of development and growth, the founders of Muse have preserved their core value of making music accessible, collaborative, and simple: “It can take a village to create great music, but fitting that village into one studio at one time isn’t always possible. On top of that, most people creating music today aren’t in the label ecosystem with access to resources and studio spaces,” explains Dunn. “We are proud to build an infrastructure designed specifically for artists that gives them the tech they need to thrive.” Find out more here https://www.musesessions.co/ The post Muse Sessions allows artists to have Remote Music Collaboration appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall: Luca-DanteSpadafora gives David Hasselhoff’s freedom anthem a techno makeover
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Luca-Dante Spadafora is reinventing the iconic hit ‘Looking for Freedom’ with David Hasselhoff, combining it with fresh club vibes. This new edition blends the iconic melodies of the original with driving techno elements, shining a modern light on the spirit of 1989. With powerful kicks, 160 BPM and pounding basslines the remix captures the nostalgic craving for freedom and delivers a party sound that feels like a call for new beginnings and transformation. This version unites music, history and culture while connecting generations. “80s vibes and hard techno – I don’t think anyone expects that combination. It’s two worlds, two generations colliding that couldn’t be more different. But somehow, it just strikes the nerve of our time and makes perfect sense!” – Luca-Dante Spadafora Even though Luca-Dante‘s original desire was to become a filmmaker, he was always drawn back to music. During the pandemic he focused on music production, creating his first remixes, which quickly went viral. By now, he’s unforgettable to fans, especially after his summer hit ‘Mädchen auf dem Pferd’. His signature sound mixes hardstyle, techno and goa elements with powerful kicks and catchy basslines that captivate listeners. With over 500 million streams and more viral hits on platforms like Spotify and TikTok he has secured a strong place in the EDM scene. On TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, Luca-Dante has also built a loyal following with over 400,000 fans. American singer and actor David Hasselhoff is truly a legend in entertainment industry. He is known for his roles in “Knight Rider” and “Baywatch” and his historic performance of ‘Looking for Freedom’ at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate in 1989 made him a musical icon of the Wall’s fall

Pasquale Rotella Addresses Overcrowding at EDC Orlando
EDC Orlando just wrapped up its 2024 edition, and one common critique among attendees was that the festival felt more crowded than ever. It might surprise you to learn that EDC Orlando has almost twice as many attendees as Ultra Music Festival over its three days. Organizers expected over 300,000 ravers to attend EDCO 2024, while Ultra hosts about 165,000. Whether it was increased attendance or layout changes, there were issues with crowd flow, particularly during times when there were big headliners across multiple stages. Pasquale Rotella, the founder and CEO of Insomniac, the company that produces the Electric Daisy Carnival, wasted no time in making a post to address these concerns on social media. “I know many of you had an amazing time, which I absolutely love to hear. However, I want to address those who felt uncomfortable during moments when the largest crowds gathered. I genuinely hate to hear that some of you faced tight conditions in those areas, and I want you to know that your comfort and safety are my top priorities. To be clear, we do not sell above the permitted capacities for any of our events, but crowd movement can lead to certain areas becoming very crowded, especially during peak moments. While this is unavoidable, we remain committed to making continuous improvements to enhance your experience as Headliners. I’m happy to say that prior to this year’s EDC, we already had plans to expand the footprint for EDC Orlando 2025. This new area will help improve crowd flow in addition to other crowd management strategies to help ease those situations.” – Pasquale Rotella Festival attendees and fans took to social media to express their frustrations flooding both Instagram and Facebook posts. Since EDC’s arrival in Orlando back in 2011, the festival has seen impressive growth. Although Insomniac Events has continually sought to improve the experience through crowd management and logistical solutions, crowd safety remains a pressing issue. In 2025 attendees can expect the festival footprint to expand to an additional area around Camping World Stadium, which should allow the festival to address crowdcrush concerns and improve traffic flow. Perhaps the addition of another stage might slightly reduce the crowds at Kinetic Field, Circuit Grounds, and Neon Garden as well. Right on the heels of this announcement, EDC Orlando announced dates for the 2025 festival and announced that pre-sales will begin on Friday. EDC Orlando will return to Tinker Field on November 7-9 2025 with the expanded footprint. It’s safe to say it will be bigger than ever.
