A rare auction of Avicii's personal belongings is giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of an artist who defined a generation. The auction comprises 267 items owned by the legendary DJ and electronic dance music producer, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 28 back in 2018. The items include sneakers, clothes, musical instruments and other memorabilia from his personal collection that have been stored in Stockholm for the last six years. Each item hitting the auction block has been donated by the "Levels" producer's family and all proceeds will benefit the Tim Bergling Foundation, a philanthropic organization launched in the DJ's name to advocate for the recognition of suicide as a global health crisis. "Given Tim’s lack of attachment to material things, his family decided that a charity auction is the most natural solution, with the proceeds directed towards The Tim Bergling Foundation," according to Stockholms Auktionsverk. "This auction will support the Foundation’s work for young people’s mental health and other causes close to Tim’s heart, such as endangered animals, nature, and climate. This way, Tim’s belongings can contribute to the positive change he always sought to inspire." The live auction will take place at Nybrogatan 32 in Stockholm and online Tuesday, October 1st at 9am ET (6am PT). The auction will then publish in full on September 6th. "We are incredibly proud to present this auction," said Cecilia Gave, CEO of Stockholms Auktionsverk. "Tim Bergling touched countless people worldwide and continues to do so both through his music and the foundation the family has established in his name. It is a true honor to support The Tim Bergling Foundation to help even more children and young people. We have 350 years of experience passing on the artifacts of some of history's most prominent cultural figures and consider it a privilege."

Sofi Tukker and bread: an unlikely pair, yet strangely kindred spirits in the all-you-can-eat buffet of life. Both rise to the occasion, one on stage and the other in the oven, fermented by time and heat. One feeds our souls, the other our bodies. Sofi Tukker's new album BREAD, however, does both. An acronym for "Be Really Energetic And Dance," BREAD will release on Friday, August 23rd. We're ironically breaking bread over brunch on a sweltering Brooklyn summer afternoon, the kind where the subway grates spew dragon's breath and even the pigeons seem sluggish. Much like a fresh baguette, the album is best devoured immediately, still hot from creation. But with spicy imagery of assless chaps, microphone vibrators and fingers tracing tempting paths through hair, what happens to your stomach afterward—or, ahem, other body parts—is none of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern's concern. Tucker Halpern and Sophie Hawley-Weld of Sofi Tukker.Vanessa Vlandis However, for them, embracing outlandishness isn't artistic masturbation—it's evolution in action. Despite their album's not-so-subtle erotica, they are proof of the magic that happens when raw talent and vulnerability meet. "I feel I'm always on the edge of confidence and doubt," Hawley-Weld says. "I can sometimes feel really confident about things and have a lot of doubt about them at the same time. I just feel both of them, maybe to the extreme honestly." It's difficult, however, to scent even a scintilla of doubt when looking at the gown Hawley-Weld wore for the cover of BREAD. A masterstroke of surrealist fashion, the dress was developed by CHRISHABANA, whose pieces have been worn by Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Madonna, among other music icons whose legacies are canonized by ornate, dreamlike outfits. But even with a pedigree like that, the East Village-based creative studio was caught off-guard by Sofi Tukker's request to materialize their perception of bread, which the duo believes "conveys decadence, sex and making yourself happy." That's according to its eponymous founder, Chris Habana, who worked alongside stylist Anastasia Walker to bring the look to life. "In our six or so years of doing costuming, we have been thrown a lot of intriguing requests and I have to say this one initially threw us for sure," Habana tells EDM.com. "But after the first talk, it became such a fun project to dive into." Habana says the dress needed to travel, so his team couldn't use real bread. They wanted to create each adornment by scratch, but with limited time, they had to purchase artificial food displays and ultimately sourced a selection of fake croissants, baguettes and other bread varieties. View the original article to see embedded media. Like dough leavening in real time, a particular challenge arose when Habana had to carve up the "bread" in order to engineer the gown's intricate breastplate. "Manipulating the bread to create the arched breastplate was a challenge that my team thankfully figured out how to achieve by slicing the foam bread and wiring it on the inside," Habana explains. "The sliced bread used in the floor length skirt that came in were all also one-tone white bread. I figured it would be more interesting to give them a toasted look. I ended up mixing various brown tones of paint and rolling and layering them over lightly on the textured surfaces. It looked like realistic toast in the end." In the end, it inconceivably took only 10 days for Habana and his team to design, construct and ship the daring dress to Brazil for the shoot. Hawley-Weld didn't even know at the time if it would fit, she tells me. Maybe it was her unapologetic soul or her icy blue eyes that pierced through the veil of its absurdity—but she somehow pulled it off. The gown delivered their vision while beautifully reflecting the vibrant music of BREAD, a sultry song-cycle of radiant house music and funk carioca with Brazilian and Portuguese influences. It also served as a reminder that music, fashion, food and sex each lose their savor when bound by too many restrictions. The cover of Sofi Tukker's third studio album, "BREAD."Rob Woodcox If "BATSHIT" was Sofi Tukker's postcard from the edge of sanity, BREAD is their leap off the cliff. The new album is what happens when artists embrace and submit to the most creatively unhinged versions of themselves. With the ability to brazenly explore taboo concepts through a cerebral lens, they've become masters at transforming fun, irreverent subject matter into transcendental experiences for fans. Look no further than the wild music video for the album's lead single, "Throw Some Ass," where Halpern and Hawley-Weld morph into piquant provocateurs before our eyes. As hips gyrate and bare butts bounce, the profane somehow becomes the profound. "We've typically taken risks in videos," Hawley-Weld says. "When I decided to have an orgasm on the side of a mountain with just my guitar for a video or when we decided to do a 'Center For Asses That Don't Move Good' with our asses out, we're putting a lot of our own resources into these absolutely crazy ideas." Filmed at the stunning Palácio das Laranjeiras in Rio de Janeiro, the audacious video is a reminder why rules are meant to be broken. "And then I always get really, really nervous and I feel like, 'Oh my God, what have we just done?" Boldness is, after all, the yeast that makes timeless music rise. Consider David Bowie's chameleon-like transformations or Björk's alien soundscapes—weirdness is a weapon if you wield it with intention and purpose. That axiom rings especially true in 2024, a time when algorithm-approved playlists and focus-grouped releases make music irretrievably stale. No one knows this more than Halpern, a former basketball star who says he often felt out of place in the locker room as he struggled to balance his love for the game with his desire for self-expression. He became his high school's all-time scoring leader and a McDonald's All-American nominee before playing college ball at Brown, where he captained his team. "I was in a jock world," he recalls. "I always had tendencies of being a little flamboyant with my style and out there and different from the other athletes, but I was still in that world and I had a lot of self-consciousness. I think about those sides of me and I'd get a lot of shit about it." "Seeing myself as an artist... it was a hard transition," Halpern continues. "When I first told people, 'I want to make music, I want to be a producer, I want to be a DJ, I want to be an artist,' they kinda laughed at you. They're like, 'No, you're in this box. You're an athlete, you can't do that.' And it wasn't until there was enough people believing in it that accepted me as an artist or accepted that I wasn't just an athlete pretending to be an artist. Then I started feeling the freedom to dress how I wanted, to do my hair as I wanted, to just take risks and not give a fuck." It paid off. When Halpern and Hawley-Weld each hacked out their own convictions like deranged surgeons, they set Sofi Tukker up to scale heights reached by few in the dance music scene. They prophesied this captivating delirium through the first lyric of "Benadryl," a haunting track they released back in 2018: "I lost my sanity with my socks." Just how far they intend to go from here remains to be seen and heard, but one thing is for sure: they are living proof that the most satisfying things in life often come from daring to deviate from the recipe. BREAD will feature 10 tracks, including collaborations with Channel Tres and Kah-Lo. You can pre-save the album here.

“Imma say, BOOYAH!” Released in 2013, Showtek gave us one of the most iconic Bigroom songs out there. Back when the genre was at its peak with other tracks such as ‘Animals,’ ‘LRAD‘ and ‘Wakanda‘ being released, the renowned Dutch duo Showtek have shook festivals all over the world with their ‘Booyah,’ the song that proudly represents the Showtek sound. The track has quickly gained popularity in the industry, receiving plays from the likes of David Guetta, W&W and Calvin Harris, as well as reaching number 5 in the UK Singles charts. Followed by the success of ‘We Like To Party‘ and ‘Cannonball,’ the Dutch DJs have united powers with We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson for a special combination between Bigroom, Drum n Bass and Reggae. Besides having a great sound, the record also has a special music video. Filmed in the urban scene of London, the video showcases 2 brothers skipping a day of school and spreading the good vibes in the streets of London with their boombox, uniting people through the power of dance and music. The video was released in September 2013, one month after the record’s original release. Followed by the success of Booyah, Showtek have had their next big release in 2014 when together with David Guetta they created ‘Bad,’ their most streamed track with 613 million streams.

For the first time in ten years, Burning Man has not sold out. This iconic festival, held annually in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, draws tens of thousands of attendees with its unique blend of art, self-expression, and community values. Known for its temporary metropolis, Black Rock City, and the symbolic burning of “The Man,” Burning Man has been a major cultural event that celebrates radical inclusion, gifting, and leaving no trace. This year’s shift in ticket sales could be influenced by several factors, including last year’s unexpected rainfall, which caused severe flooding and trapped attendees in the desert. The heavy rain led to muddy conditions, making the event challenging and uncomfortable for many, and potentially dampening enthusiasm for this year’s festival. Economic challenges and the high cost of attendance may have also deterred potential festival-goers, along with lingering COVID-19 concerns and the increasing commercialization of the event. The change in ticket sales could also signal broader trends for the festival industry. Festival organizers may need to reconsider pricing strategies to attract a wider audience and could benefit from focusing on smaller, localized events. Additionally, a greater emphasis on sustainability and immersive experiences over mere brand recognition might resonate more with future attendees. Overall, Burning Man’s first non-sellout in a decade offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of festivals. How Burning Man adapts to these challenges will influence its future and provide lessons for the broader event industry.

Matroda, known for his “Matrodasound,” continues to push the boundaries of his sound. His unique style, influenced by his classical training and diverse musical tastes, has earned him respect from industry titans like Diplo and Calvin Harris. Matroda’s latest release, “Hangin’ On,” showcases the Croatian DJ’s evolving sound while staying true to what made him popular around the world. The track serves as the second single from his upcoming EP and follows the success of his previous hit, “Britney.” “Hangin’ On” masterfully blends melodic elements with Matroda’s trademark robust basslines. The song opens with engaging lyrics and a laid-back vocal approach, creating a deceptively mellow atmosphere. However, the calm is quickly shattered by the drop, which features some of the heaviest basslines in Matroda’s repertoire. The production on “Hangin’ On” is crisp and straightforward, making it versatile enough for festival performances, radio play, and casual listening. The second drop amplifies the energy and introduces technical elements that flex his production prowess. Since its introduction to DJ pool circuits and Matroda’s live sets, “Hangin’ On” has gained considerable support from leading DJs across festival stages and club dancefloors. As Matroda continues his tour across the USA and internationally, “Hangin’ On” stands as a reminder of his growth as an artist and his ability to create memorable, dancefloor-friendly tracks. The release not only adds to Matroda’s impressive discography but is the perfect appetize for his forthcoming EP.

MOONBOY’s latest release, “Need U,” is a breathtaking fusion of ethereal vocals and high-energy drum and bass, showcasing the artist’s evolution beyond his heavy bass roots. The track has already created a significant buzz on social media, with tens of millions of views and countless user-generated videos on platforms like Instagram and TikTok even before its official release. The viral success of “Need U” sparked a bidding war among major record labels, with Atlantic Records ultimately securing the release under their Asylum Records imprint. This single stands out as one of the few influential drum and bass records produced in the US in 2022, pushing the boundaries of the genre and expanding the scope of American electronic music. Straddling the lines between Liquid D&B, Melodic Drum and Bass, and Electronic Pop, “Need U” delivers a fresh sound that appeals to a wide audience. Its crossover potential is evident in the diverse range of support it has received from industry heavyweights, including Steve Aoki, Ghastly, Joyryde, Luude, Hardwell, Virtual Riot, Kayzo, Excision, Borgore, and even Nintendo. MOONBOY reflects on the creative process, saying, “I feel this record came to life when I finally let my creative curiosity roam unrestricted. At first, I was afraid to create anything that wasn’t ‘heavy bass music,’ but I’ve realized there’s so much more inside me that I want to express in electronic music.” With “Need U,” MOONBOY is not only reinforcing his reputation but also demonstrating his versatility and growth as an artist, potentially opening doors to even broader audiences and new sonic territories.

Hardwell has grown a reputation for his explosive energy and innovative contributions to the EDM genre. He has released a number of tracks that have left a mark on the dance music scene. While some of his singles have achieved widespread acclaim, several standout tracks remain overlooked. Here’s a closer look at five forgotten Hardwell singles that deserve more attention. 1. Three Triangles (2014) Released in April 2014, “Three Triangles (Losing My Religion)” was a powerful collaboration between Hardwell and fellow DJs, W&W. This track took inspiration from the classic hit “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M., blending its iconic melody with a high-energy, modern EDM twist. Despite its promising concept and strong support during live sets, “Three Triangles” did not achieve the commercial success anticipated. Its unique blend of melodic elements with festival-ready beats should not be overlooked, as it showcases Hardwell’s ability to integrate classic themes into contemporary dance music. 2. Blackout (2015) In March 2015, Hardwell dropped “Blackout,”a collaboration with the Dutch DJ duo, MAKJ. This track delivered a punch with its high-octane energy and explosive drops. Although “Blackout” was well-received within the DJ community and at festivals, it did not capture the mainstream attention one might expect. Its high-energy synths and heavy bass make it a noteworthy example of Hardwell’s prowess in creating festival anthems, demonstrating a darker, more intense side of his production style. 3. Wake Up Call (2016) “Wake Up Call“, released in January 2016, featured the vocals of American singer and songwriter, Krewella. This track had all the elements of a potential hit: an infectious chorus and a blend of Hardwell’s signature big-room sound with Krewella’s energetic vocals. Despite this, the track did not make as significant an impact as other Hardwell releases of the time. Its upbeat, catchy nature and strong vocal performance make it a standout track that reflects Hardwell’s ability to craft memorable collaborations. 4. Kicking It Hard (2017) Released in October 2017, “Kicking It Hard” was a collaboration between Hardwell and Australian DJ/producer, Timmy Trumpet. The track, known for its vibrant trumpet melody and energetic beats, showcased Hardwell’s versatility in experimenting with different sounds and styles. Although the track resonated well with fans of both artists, it didn’t gain the same level of mainstream recognition as some of their other tracks. Its distinct blend of EDM and live instrumental elements makes it a unique entry in Hardwell’s discography. 5. Go To War (2018) “Go To War,” released in September 2018, was Hardwell’s final single before taking a break from touring. Featuring a powerful, anthemic sound and driving beats, the track was a fitting farewell to his active performing phase. Despite its impactful release and high-energy production, “Go To War” did not achieve the widespread acclaim anticipated. Its raw energy and compelling build-up exemplify Hardwell’s ability to craft dramatic, festival-ready tracks, and it stands as a testament to his influence in the EDM scene before his short-lived hiatus.

Rising Australian bass sensation ARTIFACT has unveiled his latest release, “Just Can’t Get Enough,” a bold reimagining of the Black Eyed Peas classic.

As he continues to evolve his sound and expand his reach, ARTIFACT is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting new voices in bass music. The innovative cover shows off his ability to craft contemporary, cutting-edge tracks. The single features up-pitched vocal elements skillfully contrasted with a powerful, bass heavy drop. While transforming the track into a dubstep powerhouse, ARTIFACT maintains the original’s feel-good essence. The lyrics continue to land with the same joy and intensity of the original with a refreshed and even more high energy framing.This juxtaposition highlights ARTIFACT’s unique production style and demonstrates why he’s quickly gaining a global following despite his young age.

From the main stages of Tomorrowland to the underground clubs of Ibiza, ‘Tsunami’ was a unifying force, a track that transcended borders and brought people together in a shared moment of euphoria. But what made ‘Tsunami’ truly special was its ability to tap into something deeper—a primal need for release, for letting go of the pressures of everyday life and losing oneself in the music. The track’s title and its overwhelming soundscape invite listeners to be swept away, to surrender to the power of the music and ride the wave of pure energy. In this way, ‘Tsunami’ became more than just a song; it became an experience, a cathartic release that resonated with fans on a visceral level. In the years since its release, ‘Tsunami’ has continued to inspire and influence the EDM landscape. It’s a track that has stood the test of time, still evoking the same adrenaline-fueled rush it did a decade ago. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or the hundredth, ‘Tsunami’ is a reminder of the power of music to move us, to connect us, and to remind us that sometimes, it’s okay to let the waves take us wherever they may. As we celebrate the eleventh anniversary of ‘Tsunami’ , we can look back with admiration at how this track reshaped the EDM world. Its legacy is one of unbridled energy, unifying power, and the simple yet profound joy of being swept away by the music. So here’s to‘Tsunami’ , the wave that never stopped crashing—and to the countless moments of euphoria it has given us over the last ten years.

They really come from another world. German collective Township Rebellion landed on Interstellar Recordings with Eternal Affair. The tune is a mix of techy and dreamy harmonies, with progressive and kind of trance vibes. It’s not really a techno tune but more a mix of things, something unique, something fresh you won’t listen to every day. The record will project you in a state of complete euphoria. Its haunting layers will drive you into a hypnotic state. The deep, thumping beats provide a substantial foundation for the whole tune. A sense of mystery and anticipation; that’s what you can expect from the spiraling rhythm and shimmering soundscapes you’ll hear on the tune. Insomniac’s Interstellar Recordings continue to push forward in the techno space and Township Rebellion is another proof thanks to ‘Eternal Affair’.

When Daft Punk shattered our dreams by announcing their split back in 2021, the prospect of a Tron sequel without their creative input felt like a cruel glitch in the system. Now, Disney has revealed who will step into the robots' shoes: the influential duo of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. In the world of Tron, music is the pulse of the digital landscape. Fans of the franchise surely remember how Daft Punk's timeless soundtrack and appearance in Tron: Legacy intertwined with the film's visual spectacle and elevated it to cult-classic status. Tracks like "Derezzed" became instant classics, cementing the legendary electronic music duo's legacy as the sonic architects of the Grid. But when they officially disbanded, the future of Tron's soundscape was thrown into uncertainty. Enter Reznor and Ross, the industrial rock legends whose visceral scores have shaped films like The Social Network and Pixar's Soul, both of which landed them the Academy Award for Best Original Score. The duo's pedigree positions them as the perfect successors to Daft Punk's Tron legacy. The future of the franchise's soundtrack is now in the hands of a tandem that has redefined film scores, and fans can rest assured that the digital frontier will be as audibly thrilling as ever. "The Tron series of films has a real high bar when it comes to composers and scoring music," Reznor said in a recent red carpet interview. "So when it was offered, we were excited and we're up for blowing everybody's minds in the process." The Grid will light up once more when Tron: Ares hits theaters on October 10th, 2025.

Six years ago today, Marshmello released ‘Happier’, a collaboration with British indie pop band Bastille. This soulful track features a bittersweet chorus that ends with the lines, “I wanna raise your spirits / I want to see you smile, but / Know that means I’ll have to leave,” urging listeners to reflect on past moments. The music video deepens the song’s emotional impact, portraying a young girl who grows into a woman and eventually becomes a mother. The story begins with her father giving her a puppy for her birthday. As the girl matures, the dog becomes her constant companion, offering comfort during tough times. In a tearful goodbye, she must say goodbye to her beloved pet as it passes away. The video then fast-forwards to her adulthood, where she is now a mother. At her daughter’s birthday party, her father, now a grandfather, gifts his granddaughter a puppy, bringing the mother to tears. It’s no surprise that ‘Happier’ is Marshmello‘s most-streamed track on Spotify and his first Top 10 hit, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s popularity even led to its use in an Amazon Echo commercial and Google’s Year in Search for 2018—both in the same year.
