What was meant to be a creative collaboration under the Balearic sun turned into a nightmare for Clean Bandit. The British dance music trio was in Ibiza filming a music video for their new single "Cry Baby," a collaboration with David Guetta and Anne-Marie, when their celebration was cut abruptly short. While the group was out to dinner, thieves reportedly broke into Clean Bandit's hotel room and stole laptops, cameras and cash totaling €40,000 before crowbarring the room's window to make their escape. The robbery left the band not only devastated but also fearful of staying in the same location overnight, per The Sun. Luckily, the footage for "Cry Baby" had already been safely transported back to London. However, the stolen gear and cash still represent a significant loss for the band, who are now hoping to recoup some of the damages through insurance. Unfortunately, Clean Bandit’s experience is not an isolated incident on the White Isle. Just a few months earlier, fellow British DJ and producer Franky Wah also fell victim to thieves during his own Ibiza residency. His entire music collection, including a laptop loaded with unreleased music, was stolen from his car. Despite offering a reward and rallying the support of fans and fellow artists like Carl Cox, Wah has yet to recover his belongings. The rise in such thefts is a sobering reminder of the risks artists face, even in places as idyllic as Ibiza. For Clean Bandit, the experience has been a costly interruption ahead of their new album, their first in six years, set for release in 2025. Still, the group remains undeterred, channeling their energy into more new music. Check out the music video for "Cry Baby" below.

Australian artist Harry Suttor, aka Late Night Therapy, is back with RELAX, a single that says it all. If you hear closely, you’ll notice that the sounds are warm and clear, but also organic. This is because the entire elements of the tune, from the percussions to the vocals, have been recorded live. Not a single sound is electronically generated through some sort of DAW or plugin. Everything is natural! This willingness to pursue the “real sound” is something we didn’t expect in 2024, but we really endorse it. Bringing the music creation back to humans is something we really think of. For me personally as an artist I’ve always felt that the most important thing is to create something unique and authentic to my own experience. This has been my artistic journey, a voyage of self-discovery, finding my voice, my sound and my gift to those losing themselves on the dance-floor. For my new single RELAX I have recorded every instrument and my vocal live so that I could know for certain that it came authentically from me. RELAX is an introspective late night dance-floor journey for you to lose yourself in, I hope you enjoy! – Late Night Teraphy RELAX starts with an organic and tribal beat. The chill harmonies create a strong vibe of well-being and comfort. The tune introduces strong piano lines and eclectic melodies for an incredible mix of emotions. Late Night Terapy’s RELAX is out now. Have a listen to Late Night Terapy’s latest singles like When you’re gone and Spinning as well.

*Featured Cover Photo Credit: Skyler Greene (skygreene.com) / Portola Music Festival Last year’s edition of Portola Music Festival at San Francisco‘s Pier 80 was a great success as it hosted the likes of Eric Prydz, Dom Dolla, Nelly Furtado, Charlotte De Witte, Carl Cox, and Skrillex. Due to last year’s success, the 2024 edition of Portola Music Festival is set to happen and it will return for the weekend of Sept. 28-29, once again at Pier 80. In fact, the organizers of the festival, renowned San Francisco-based events promoter Goldenvoice, confirmed its return in a letter they sent to residents of Alameda, a small city near Oakland and across the Bay from San Francisco. The letter affirms Portola Music Festival’s commitment to lower noise levels for the 2024 edition, especially since last year’s edition has caused numerous complaints from some of the Alameda residents. The noise levels sent to Alameda coming from Pier 80 in last year’s edition were very significant that even the local government of Alameda issued a request to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission that it should either discontinue the festival or relocate it to an alternate venue where it will not “impact the Alameda residents”. Regardless of what may happen during and after the 2024 edition of Portola Music Festival, it will definitely be an awesome festival with cool amenities and a spectacular lineup. On May 13th, the Portola Music Festival organizers officially announced the lineup for the 2024 edition and just like last year, the lineup is totally awesome. Lineup for the 2024 edition of Portola Music Festival For Saturday, September 28th, fans will get to see the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Bicep, Mall Grab, Four Tet, Tycho, Jamie xx and Gesaffelstein shining their talents through the daytime and nighttime skies over Pier 80. Furthermore, on Sunday, September 29th, stars such as Honey Dijon, Sammy Virji, Jersey, Justice, Boys Noize b2b VTSS, horsegiirL, Sara Landry, Tinlicker, and LP Giobbi and Chase & Status will continue to ensure fans attending the festival remain fulfilled with all that excellent music flowing through the air. Check out the official lineup poster at the bottom of this article. As a result of the festival’s commitment to lower noise levels for this year’s upcoming edition, each festival day will start at 01:00 p.m. and end at 11:00 p.m. However, for that Sunday, all outdoor music will conclude at 10:45 p.m., which gives enough time for festival attendees to beat the rush as they leave the festival grounds. Photo Credit: Portola Festival/ALIVE Coverage Passes for this year’s festival As of the moment of this writing, all of the GA and VIP passes for the 2024 edition of Portola Music Festival are sold out. However, fans can still join the official Portola waitlist where they can have access to the passes (if and when they become available). One piece of information regarding this waitlist is that the payment plans are not available for fans to utilize on it. Other valuable information to know about in preparation for the festival For anyone who plans to attend this year’s festival, the FAQ page has great and valuable information to know about what to expect before and after entering festival grounds. Additionally, the ‘Get Here Get Out’ page has info about how the fans can get to the festival, as well as the other transportation options that they can use such as BART and Muni. Furthermore, a couple recommended pages to check out too, the ‘Accessibility (ADA)’ and ‘Lockers’ web pages. The former page allows fans with disabilities to request disability accommodations to ensure that they will have great access to many amenities of the festivities. Meanwhile, the latter page gives fans to opportunity to pay for charging lockers where they can securely store their festival merch, jackets, bags and more, especially since each locker also contains a 3-in-1 USB charging cable that features Type C, Lightning (Apple) and Micro USB connectors.

It may be the middle of August, but Charli XCX's "brat summer" has kept the season red-hot—under the guise of a lurid green shade. Its likely you've heard the phrase by now, what with the phrase and its signature green palette taking over social media platforms and signage worldwide. But what exactly is "brat summer"? Deriving from her sixth studio album BRAT, the term was characterized by Charli as someone who rocks "a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra" on the BBC's Sidetracked podcast. Along with the album's brazen messages and intersection of hyperpop and house music, "brat summer" essentially encourages all to live a colorful and wildly unapologetic life, partying as much as they so please. But fans are not the only ones taking to BRAT. Electronic music producers are taking "brat summer" to another level by producing their own remixes of the album's tracks en masse. Read on to discover five of the best. Charli XCX - Von dutch (Skream and Benga Remix)Dubstep icons Skream and Benga reimagined "Von dutch" with a vintage banger, heavy in its bass and vocal distortion. View the original article to see embedded media. Charli XCX - Spring Breakers (hallow UKG Edit) Not long after releasing BRAT, Charli XCX came out with the album's deluxe edition, brat and it's the same but there's three more songs so it's not, which includes "Spring Breakers." Hallow then revamped the track with a frenetic UK garage edit. View the original article to see embedded media. Charli XCX - Talk Talk (Dreeks Remix)Dialing up the tempo, Brighton-based producer Dreeks put an ethereal spin on "Talk talk" in his remix. After starting with gentle, airy production in the first verse, he unloads a rousing and euphoric four-on-the-floor drop with a hyperpop twist. View the original article to see embedded media. Charli XCX - 360 (Gabone ZX Remix)If you like a slower beat, Brazilian artist Gabone ZX has you covered with a strategically languid, angsty remix of the BRAT album's opening song. View the original article to see embedded media. Charli XCX - 360 (HEYZ Flip)HEYZ recently decided to produce his own rendition of "360," making bass the main ingredient in his recipe for a "brat summer." He then made a hilarious TikTok video to promote the dubstep edit, which has proved itself popular in his live performances. View the original article to see embedded media. Charli XCX - The Von dutch Remix with Addison Rae and A.C. CookNamed after the fashion brand with a cult following in the early aughts, "Von dutch" experienced a revitalization for the TikTok age with the addition of influencer Addison Rae. Suffice to say the remix (and Rae's perfectly-pitched scream) has taken TikTok by storm. View the original article to see embedded media.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the release of Porter Robinson’s debut album, Worlds. Of course, Porter Robinson stays true to his word. He has finally released the “lost” 13th track that unfortunately never made it onto Worlds. We all know of Worlds, one of the most insanely influential and genre-defying albums ever released. One of the most pivotal decisions he ever made in his career. It truly needs no other introduction. It’s sensational. Four years ago, out of the blue, Porter tweeted that he uploaded another track that he created in 2012, ‘Shepherdess / She Heals Everything‘, for the 6th anniversary. Along with that, he explained that he would release “Hollowheart“, a track that sadly didn’t make it onto Worlds. However, it’s here. I’ll let you listen. Enjoy the moment. Vocals are by the wonderful, Amy Millan, who also assisted on “Divinity”. It’s been fun seeing fans look for Easter eggs with “Hollowheart”. Many have noticed the similarities between it and Porter’s unreleased “A Sound for Lonely People” and “OSTTT“. It’s a great trip down memory lane dissecting it all. Additionally, Porter is celebrating the anniversary of his acclaimed debut album Worlds with two special edition vinyl releases. The Worlds 10th Anniversary Edition features a double vinyl with a holographic cover and includes a new bonus track. The second release, Worlds Live at Second Sky 2019, marks the first official release of the audio from Porter’s renowned 2019 Second Sky festival show. This double vinyl captures the last live performance (maybe it’ll happen again – who knows!). Order your vinyl here and relive the magic once again. August 12th – forever will be one of the best days in electronic music history. Thank you, Porter, for the memories.

The “Super Fan 2-Day GA Package” is for GA pass holders and they can choose a hotel of their choice to stay for two-three nights and they will also receive a Merchandise Bundle; this package starts from $571 per person and includes fees (and assuming a 3-night stay if that is the case).

There is also a very special package that does not include a GA or VIP pass. That package is the “Here for the Party Package” and it starts from $371 per person; this package also provides fans to choose a hotel of their choice to stay in for 2-3 nights but instead of the Merchandise Bundle, they will just receive a Jampack Swag Bag. Last but not least, for anyone who just wants a Merchandise Bundle, it costs $100 to obtain.

Sam Blacky has teamed up with the producer/DJ duo Local Singles for their latest single “Hotsteppa,” a mesmerizing Afrohouse-influenced track that blends both artists’ unique sonic signatures. Local Singles bring their rhythmic expertise to the table, crafting a euphoric tune that builds with an air of mystery while Sam Blacky, known for her incorporation of global sounds brings afrohouse touches to the table. Her contribution fuses deep bass undertones with tribal instrumentals and vocals, resulting in a genuine international sound. “Hotsteppa” is infectious, manifesting a sunrise groove session deep in the jungle. It’s no wonder the track has already received support from industry leaders, with Diplo and Francis Mercier debuting it at Burning Man last year. The single follows Local Singles’ recent track “Fever” on BLOND:ISH’s label and Sam Blacky’s collaboration “Ronaldinho” with Niniola. The collaboration came about after a serendipitous near-miss at a Keinemusik show in Brooklyn Mirage. Sam Blacky explains, “We laughed so hard when we saw each other’s stories, and I couldn’t believe we missed each other that night. We decided we had to collaborate soon to memorize that funny moment and show our love of the tribal and Afrohouse sound, and this is how ‘Hotsteppa’ was born.” Local Singles added, “Getting ‘Hotsteppa’ out was a labor of love. From finding the right collaborator in Sam Blacky, to finding the right vocalist, and last but not least, finding the right label in Spinnin’ Deep. It’s taken over a year, but we can finally say… here comes the ‘Hotsteppa.'” The post A year since it debuted at Burning Man, Local Singles and Sam Blacky release ‘Hotsteppa’ appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced temporary closures on the Black Rock Playa, home to the annual Burning Man festival. These closures are designed to safeguard public resources and ensure public safety in the area. The closures will be implemented in two phases over a period of approximately 66 days each year through fiscal year 2027. The first phase will affect a smaller area, while the second phase will cover a significantly larger portion of the playa. However, it’s important to note that the remaining 67% of the playa will remain open for dispersed recreational use. Closure Details Phase 1: Covers approximately 9,941 acres and lasts 66 days. Phase 2: Covers approximately 51,149 acres and lasts 20 days. Closure Dates The specific dates for the closures will vary each year: YearPhase 1Phase 22024July 25 – September 28August 19 – September 72025July 24 – September 27August 18 – September 62026July 30 – October 3August 24 – September 122027July 29 – October 2August 23 – September 11 The BLM has emphasized that these temporary closures are necessary to protect the delicate ecosystem of the Black Rock Desert. This will also allow to ensure the safety of visitors. While the closures may impact recreational activities during certain periods, the majority of the playa will remain accessible to the public. Impact on Burning Man The BLM has emphasized that the majority of the playa will remain open for public use. However, the temporary closures will undoubtedly impact the Burning Man festival. Logistical Challenges: The event organizers will need to adapt their plans to accommodate the restricted areas. This may involve adjustments to camp layouts, infrastructure, and transportation. Reduced Space: The closures will limit the available space for the festival, potentially affecting attendee capacity and the overall experience. Increased Costs: Implementing changes to accommodate the closures is likely to increase costs for the event organizers. Environmental Concerns: The festival has faced criticism for its impact on the environment. The closures could be seen as a step towards mitigating these concerns and promoting sustainable practices. It’s important to note that the Burning Man organization has a strong track record of working collaboratively with the BLM to ensure the event’s sustainability and minimize its impact on the environment.

Souped Up veteran, label-boss and rowdy beat maker, Dutta, returns with ‘Dom Perignon’, a three-track project ready to turn summer 2024 into a wobbly wonderland. ‘Dom Perignon’ Raising the bar of his own dutty-excellence after committing to an intense seven-month stint of musical up-skilling, this bouncy new EP is proof of the Mancunian producer’s hard work, slight change of direction and eagerness to focus more on the musical elements of his tracks. New flavours, new techniques, same old Dutta. We pulled him in to find out more. Dutta! Highlight of the week so far? I met a really nice woman the other night! Work’s going well too. I feel like a lot of good things are landing on my lap at the moment. I’ve been making a lot more healthier choices, putting a bit more love back into the cup and the universe gives back to me tenfold. So yeah – I’ve had a great week this week! The wholesomeness we all wanted. Let’s talk about your new EP on Souped Up – was there anything different you wanted to do with this one? Realistically, for the last 7 months I’ve been taking a lot of time off shows and working on my music, knuckling down on my songwriting and stuff like that. Kind of taking a bit of a different approach with my songwriting, how I’m making my tunes and the direction I’m taking my sound in. So yeah, I wanted my music to be a bit more mature, a bit more songwritey! I wanted to reinvent myself, come with a fresh new sound. Show everyone how much I’ve been working. I wanted to showcase the new skills I’ve been learning over the last 7 months in terms of my production. What brought on this change in direction? I just feel like I kind of needed to reinvent how I was making my tunes. Up the levels of everything, instead of making the same old stuff I’ve been making. I started noticing that there were a lot of things that I could do to improve on. There are things I didn’t struggle with, but the things that I did struggle with I just knuckled down and went back to basics with everything. You find yourself writing the same sort of music. It’s kind of good to step away from the style you’re writing and learn new things and make other types of music. I found after doing that, when I went back to the style I was creating, my confidence in the studio was a lot higher. My consistency is getting a lot better. I think I needed to work on that over the last 7 months and take my music into a new direction. A natural progression for an artist! Is it easy to clock when it’s the right time to step towards a new sound and start upskilling again? I think right now because of people’s attention spans, when you’re making too much or something, people are just getting bored of it. I personally wanted to start writing much more exciting music, so I needed to go back to the drawing board. Personally speaking. You could be an artist who has had one big tune, then you go off and carry on writing thinking your tunes are the best but they’re not. It depends on what sort of artist you are. I’m very self-critical. There’s a lot of ideas that I write that go straight in the bin. All the stuff I’ve been putting out have been tracks I’ve really liked and genuinely wanted to put out. Having a big hit very early on in your journey as an artist must create a huge amount of pressure, perhaps anxiety too? It creates a lot of pressure because everyone is watching. Even being a one trick pony, there’s no consistency there. The proof is in the pudding. You’ve got to be consistently releasing good music. That one trick-pony thing would give me a lot of anxiety. I’ve been making music for about 14 years so it’s a walk in the park. I really enjoy it. It’s what I do in most of my spare time, for fun. So I don’t really feel pressured in the studio or anything like that, but I can imagine if you made a hit, and it’s early on in your career, it’s a lot of pressure because then you need to make a tune as big as that hit. Making music for fun is the one. There’s a lot of value in doing things for fun instead of doing things for money. It’s a big escape for me. Saying that though, even when I’m at my happiest and I’ve got good stuff going on, that also inspires me to sit and make music. It helps me express my emotions a lot better and helps me control what I’m feeling too. It’s more therapy to me than a get rich sort of thing. Even if I didn’t do what I do in drum & bass, I’d still be writing music regardless. That sounds like a very healthy way to make music. Keeping the love for our creative ventures is important, paying your rent off your creativity can sometimes be exhausting. It just becomes a chore. It can be difficult doing the music thing full-time. I left my job when music was paying me more than my job but even then, it’s still good to have a stable income. You might get your first big pay out or you might be going out for a grand a gig or whatever, but if you have other work too, you have stability. It’s healthy to separate your work from your art. You don’t want to be in the studio choring. Like urghhh I need to finish this project. It should be fun. I found myself doing it. I have been releasing music since 2015 so over the last 10 years, I’ve felt a few of the emotions you know. I’ve just tried to not bring any more stress into my life. Life is hard enough as it is, you don’t want to make it any harder regarding the work that you’re doing every day. Especially when that thing is something you love and your art, something you really do pour yourself into it. You’re an independent artist who works across different labels whilst self-releasing too – what are the pros and cons of working in this way? I work with the people I work with, sort of thing. I keep my circle small and I work with the people I’ve worked with for a long time and built a relationship up with. I think it’s good to have creative control over your music. So doing the self-releases and stuff like that fills in the gaps when you don’t have a release on a big label or big artists to work with. Then that creative control keeps the consistency with releasing. Work with big artists and labels too though. Working with labels opens doors for new fanbase, new fans who follow the label and like what the label do too. New people might check you out and then you might become their favourite artist! It opens a lot of doors. Not that it can’t be done independently. If I’ve got any advice for artists, I’d say it’s good to stay with a team and work with a team. You don’t want to be releasing with every label under the sun. Don’t be sending the same demos to all the labels. Wait until you hear back from them, wait til they’ve spoken to ya, then go elsewhere if they turn you down. Don’t be sending all ya tunes to every Tom, Dick and Harry. No ones going to want to hear it. Only if people don’t get back to you after a week or two should you go elsewhere. People like exclusivity. It shows loyalty, which goes a long way in this industry. Artists that you’re rating at the min? Absolutely! I want to shout out Parallel, Hexa, if you’re reading this, go and check those out. They’re making wicked tunes, tunes that are going off in my sets at the minute. Flipnosis too, everyone I’m working with at the min, Serum, Trigga, Upgrade. I’ll leave that there. There’s loads of people. What do you think the best thing, and also the most challenging thing, is about being an artist in 2024? Wow! TikTok. For both! Nah, the most challenging thing in 2024 as a musician is that it’s very saturated. I feel like everyone wants to do it. Everyone wants a quick buck. The music was from the underground and it will always go back round to that… I’m just hoping that it does sometime soon! Things are a bit difficult at the minute. Everyone is still skint from lockdown. All the clubs are shutting. The promoters don’t have the same budgets they had before lockdown. There’s a lot of things affecting the industry that’s out of everyone’s control and a lot of artists are really taking it out on themselves at this time, regarding gigs and feeling disheartened about work and stuff like that. I’m hearing it a lot across the board from a lot of my peers when we’re catching up. Everyone’s finding it difficult. We’re in a massive recession. No one has any money. People at the minute are more than happy to sit at home with a pair of decks, listening to tunes they want to listen to, a load of mates chip in on a nice bottle of vodka for a tenner each, or you go out and spend £100. So what you gunna do. I get it. But people need to support the local scene and support the underground scene because if they don’t and they stop, it’s just going to disappear. Any final words of wisdom? Everyone eat your veggies, everyone support the underground scene and everyone support each other too. Also – everyone reading this, I have an event in Manchester on August 30. Boiler Room style rave with a sick lineup that I’ve catered myself. Very limited ticket capacity. There is a rule that your front camera and back camera will be covered on entry. There’s a policy- no videos in the rave. You can use your phone, if you’ve got too mash-up and you need to find ya friends, you can still do that but otherwise, no phones in the rave. I want people to be locked in the moment and to have a special experience.
