The Shambhala Music Festival commemorated its 25th anniversary with an unforgettable event held from July 26 to 29, 2024, at the stunning Salmo River Ranch in British Columbia. This landmark celebration attracted a massive crowd of 20,000 people, including staff, solidifying Shambhala‘s status as a premier destination for electronic music enthusiasts. The festival showcased an eclectic lineup of global talent, unforgettable performances, and remarkable enhancements, making this year’s festival a standout in its storied history. Unforgettable Performances The 25th anniversary of Shambhala was marked by standout performances that left attendees in awe. Anderson .Paak, performing as DJ Pee Wee, delivered a captivating all vinyl set at the Fractal Forest, mesmerizing the crowd with his unique blend of funk, soul, and electronic beats. His performance was a testament to his versatility and talent, and it set the tone for an incredible weekend. Another highlight was the father-son duo Live Another Way & KOL, who took to the Pagoda stage for a sunrise back-to-back DJ set. Their seamless mixing and shared energy created a magical atmosphere as the first light of day bathed the festival grounds in underground house and techno. This special set was a beautiful reminder of the festival’s community spirit and the passing of musical passion between generations. Neon Steve, under his Pleasansations alias, delivered an upbeat house set that kept the energy high and the dance floor packed at The Living Room Stage. His infectious beats and vibrant stage presence made for one of the weekend’s most memorable performances, keeping everyone moving well into the night. At the Village stage, the Chillage—a collaboration between ill Gates, Mr. Bill, Shmani, and Slowform—brought an eclectic mix of sounds and styles in a back-to-back-to-back-to-back set that highlighted each artist’s unique approach to bass music. Their combined talents created a dynamic and immersive experience that was a definite crowd-pleaser. Jasper Tygner‘s performance at The Grove stage was another standout moment. His innovative soundscapes and intricate productions transported the audience into a different realm, making for a truly immersive musical journey. New Stages and Upgrades This year’s festival also featured the addition of several new secret stages, enhancing the overall experience and providing attendees with more diverse musical offerings. The Ikigai Mori, Riverside, and The Rabbit Hole stages quickly became favorites among festival-goers, each offering unique atmospheres and eclectic lineups that catered to various musical tastes. The Fractal Forest, one of Shambhala‘s iconic stages, received major upgrades this year. A new, larger stage and enhanced lighting system transformed the forest into a dazzling wonderland of sound and light, providing an even more immersive experience for attendees. These upgrades ensured that the Fractal Forest remained a central hub of activity and excitement throughout the festival. Enhanced Logistics and Amenities In response to feedback from previous years, the festival organizers introduced a new entrance system, significantly reducing wait times at the gate.

This latest offering dives into the complexities of internal struggles and insecurities, showcasing 32Stitches‘ ability to blend personal storytelling with cutting-edge electronic production. ‘Lonely Out There’ is more than just a track; it’s a reflection on the fears and uncertainties that often accompany life’s transitions. The accompanying music video poignantly depicts a physical confrontation between two individuals, symbolizing the internal battle against one’s own insecurities. “This track is deeply personal,” 32Stitches explains. “It’s about the fears we project into the universe, almost inviting them to manifest. For me, it’s the fear of losing close relationships, of friends drifting away, and the love of my life leaving. Ultimately, these are my insecurities coming to the forefront. The fight in the video is a metaphor for this internal struggle.” CRVN‘s powerful chorus adds a layer of vulnerability and soul to the track, enhancing itsemotional resonance. 32Stitches expressed his gratitude for CRVN‘s contribution, noting how the collaboration brought additional depth to the song’s narrative. The result is a compelling blend of electronic beats and heartfelt lyrics that resonate with listeners on a personal level. With over 45 million streams across major platforms and releases on prestigious labels such as Universal Music, Trap Nation, NoCopyrightSounds, Sony Music, and Music High Court, 32Stitches has firmly established himself as a leading force in India’s electronic music scene. His innovative soundscapes and ability to convey complex emotions through music have earned him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. ‘Lonely Out There’ is now available on all major streaming platforms, with the official music video streaming on YouTube. This release invites fans and new listeners alike to join 32Stitches on a journey of self-discovery and emotional introspection.

Malóne and Sounds Of Rituals have joined forces with Jay Wheeler for a sultry remake of the reggaeton superstar's global hit, "Cuando Fue." Out now via EMPIRE jointly on Linked Music, Dynamic Records and Malóne's WHYNOTUS label, the official "Cuando Fue" rework transports you to a twilight beach party where inhibitions melt away like sand through fingers. With its unique blend of reggaeton soul and underground house, it's destined to set late-summer club nights ablaze. That, however, is merely par for the course for Malóne, a longtime resident at Miami's iconic Club Space who is fluent in the unspoken language of the dancefloor. "My team at EMPIRE came to us with the opportunity to re work this original. I was very excited because I was already a fan of song and Jay Wheeler to begin with," Malóne tells EDM.com. "Being able to work with such an incredible Latin artist as Jay was a special opportunity. More than anything, I wanted to bring a high energetic groove to the original. Something that worked very well for the dancefloors and high-energy moments of the nights at the club." His bold approach paid off. In a steamy collision of Latin-pop and house grooves, the track sizzles with an infectious bassline, its rhythmic heartbeat enticing listeners to the dancefloor. Malóne's deft production touch and Sounds Of Rituals' Afro-house influences transform Wheeler's passionate vocals, weaving them through a hypnotic latticework of percussive textures. EMPIRE, the famed record label and music distribution company, played a pivotal role in bringing the track to life, Malóne said. "It's been great so far. Having a team and platform for my label and my music has been an incredible help," he explains. "So much goes into releasing music these days and having a strong team is just as important as anything else. We have a great process, they really believe in my music, so that has made everything easy and enjoyable to work with."

There are thousands of music festivals in 2024 and surely a good number of them are dance music festivals. There’s pros and cons to all of them, but one festival dominates the imaginations of people around the world. Launched in 2004, Tomorrowland has grown to become an idyllic fantasy land that exists for two (formerly 1) short weekend(s) in July, featuring a symphony of music, nature, color, and magic. Whereas most festivals are a raging good time, Tomorrowland is a rite of passage or a pilgrimage for anybody who enjoys electronic dance music. Tomorrowland inhabits the gorgeous De Schorre Park in Boom, Belgium, and is fortunate enough to have built a strong relationship with the locality. Tomorrowland has grown in tandem with the park, such that Tomorrowland has turned the park into the closest thing we’ll ever get to a permanent music festival theme park. As Tomorrowland celebrated its 20th Anniversary (the digital editions in 2020 and 2021 are counted) in 2024, the festival had occupied this mythical status for at least the prior decade (and a few more years). Tickets have sold out almost instantly for every edition since the 2014 anniversary because the festival is so magical that you just can’t understand it until you experience it. Celebrating 20 years of festival greatness, Tomorrowland was equal parts nostalgic and cutting edge. The Themes Tomorrowland is not just a music festival, but its own entity in the EDM world. The festival itself is a character that millennials have grown up with. The themes are so intricately done that Tomorrowland has begun writing entire novels for the new themes since 2023, and has plans to write even more (possibly touching on past themes). In 2024, the past themes have taken on lives of their own through stages, callbacks, and more. To celebrate 20 years, Tomorrowland geared its smaller side stages to call back past themes. The Melodia Stage pays homage to the 2015 theme, the Elixir Stage pays tribute to the 2016 them that also inspired the 2024 theme, Amicorum Spectaculum heavily inspired the Gathering Stage for campers, the 2017 Planaxis theme got its very own lakefront stage, and the Boof of Wisdom continues to be celebrated with the Library Stage. Interestingly, there was no callback to 2022’s Reflection of Love theme despite its popularity. This leads me to believe we may see a 3rd Tomorrowland festival coming to a new location with the Reflection of Love Stage, as the Adscendo Stage is already in Brazil. The Nostalgia Something that made the 20th Anniversary so special is that it’s about 10 years on from the “Golden Era” of EDM. The previous decade anniversary in 2014 was the peak of the EDM Golden Era. During this time, there was a festival anthem released every week. Tomorrowland was very much at the center of the EDM universe back then as well. In 2014, Tomorrowland experimented with two back-to-back weekends for the very first time, and many of the festival anthems that we still love today were being premiered at the hallowed grounds back then. The anniversary had me reflective throughout the first day, especially since this was my 6th consecutive (not counting 2020/2021) Tomorrowland. Would the Tomorrowland magic start to grow stale on my 6th time? These thoughts were ever present on Day 1 because the big features were the epic return (after 12 years) of Swedish House Mafia to the festival and Hardwell playing a Throwback Set at the Freedom Stage. Those 2012-2015 big room anthems fell far out of favor after 2015, and the festival sound is miles away from that now. Would those sounds seem ridiculous if played at Tomorrowland in 2024? Because they certainly feel ridiculous when played (mashed up with something horrible) in some local bar or club. Swedish House Mafia took the mainstage, after a dazzling opening ceremony, and surprised me right off the bat. The intro to their set sounded exactly like a set they could have played here in 2013. Then they went into all of their biggest hits, and mostly kept them in their original mixes. That wasn’t the surprising part. The surprise was that even though the trio played a set that could’ve been played in 2013 or 2014, it was every bit as exciting and magical as it would have been back then. To me, it felt like Swedish House Mafia gave Tomorrowland the set it should have gotten had the group not disbanded at Ultra in 2013. It’s hard to believe that until 2024, Tomorrowland never got to see the full Swedish House Mafia perform ‘Don’t You Worry Child’. Despite hearing all these tracks (with some exceptions) a billion times before, there was something indescribable about that trio playing those songs at the Tomorrowland mainstage on the 20th Anniversary of Tomorrowland. It brought back all of those warm and fuzzy feelings that I got when I attended my first music festival back during that Golden Era. This concept was reinforced even more during Hardwell‘s throwback set. It was Hardwell at his 2013-2014 best, when he was the (DJ Mag) #1 DJ in the world. The Big Room sound has been dead years, yet hearing these tracks and mashups from that era (without any updates) felt incredible. The production was good back then too, but think of how much better it is now. Those big room anthems sounded almost refreshing since it had been so long since I had heard a set so unafraid of the big room sound. During that set, the Freedom Stage had the feeling of a millennial version of the Aerosmith doing a reunion tour concert for my parents. It was filled with millennials feeling nostalgic for the magic of that feeling when EDM and festivals were new and unknown and counterculture. Let me tell you, those tracks have not lost their luster one bit when being played by the original producer in the epic setting of the Freedom Stage. The Setting I already touched on this, but the main ingredient that makes Tomorrowland ascend from a mere festival to a magical place of EDM legend is the gorgeous setting. De Schorre is a beautiful place on its own, but Tomorrowland makes it a magical place. Just walking around in between stages it’s hard not to be taken aback by the natural beauty. This year the weather not only cooperated, but it put on quite the show. The sky was a dramatic and gorgeous pastel of blues and whites during the hot and sunny afternoons, then orange and pink during the golden hour(s) before giving way to night. Tomorrowland certainly has lasers and screens and fireworks galore, but mother nature is a major part of the Tomorrowland production that sets it apart from anywhere else. Tomorrowland smartly leans into this by making sure its stages fit coexist in the natural setting and are enhanced by it. The CORE Stage nestled in the forest looks like an abandoned natural ruin that comes to life, the Planaxis Stage plays with water, color, and light as it floats gently on a lake for onlookers on dry ground. Perhaps the most gorgeous and special stage at Tomorrowland is the Crystal Garden Stage which, itself, is floating on a lake. It has a giant circular covering that looks like the top of a merry-go-round, but it is filled with greenery, misters, and these shiny crystals that hang above the crowd reflecting light. The actual stage is pretty simple and doesn’t focus on huge LED walls. The Crystal Garden Stage lets the sky, the lake, the sun play with lasers, mist, water fountains, and lights. When you dance to the sounds of Solomun b2b Four Tet or Dom Dolla or Keinemusik there, you can’t help but look around and think, “I can’t believe this is a real place”. It’s a real place but a surreal experience, because there’s nothing else like it on planet Earth. The mainstage is another beneficiary of this because it is set in a natural amphitheater bowl. The festival wisely uses this to create the best mainstage crowd setup you can find at any festival. Yes, it gets crowded for the big sets, but everybody gets an amazing view and you can see the Ferris wheel off in the distance as well. The best part about this is that if you attend Tomorrowland multiple times, you can see your favorite DJs play across several different stages, and every stage creates a completely different experience. I’ve been fortunate enough to see Tale of Us play at CORE, Crystal Garden, Atmosphere, and Freedom over the years – each with a completely different feel and special in its own way. The Music At Tomorrowland the star of the show is the festival itself, followed by the gorgeous setting, but obviously the music is why everybody is there – and Tomorrowland has all of the best, and more. Tomorrowland excels here because it is a dozen festivals in one. Each stage is its own vibe both visually and musically, so there is truly something for everyone. It’s the only festival where I set aside an hour or two to aimlessly wander and drop in on a DJ I normally wouldn’t see. Tomorrowland features plenty of options for the more mainstream fans while also providing excellent options for everybody in the worlds of house and techno. There are even stages for throwback music, Drum & Bass, Hardstyle, Bass Music, and Trance. Trance and Hardstyle have seen their presence reduced in recent years, but the representation ebbs and flows depending on the state of the music scene. Tomorrowland will feature the big names as many festivals do, but there’s always a special Tomorrowland twist. Where else will you see Solomun b2b Four Tet floating on a lake for four hours while REZZMAU5 rocks the Freedom Stage at the same time? This year saw Anyma take the mainstage for the first time, and even without his signature visuals the show was spectacular. Tomorrowland even dedicates the RISE Stage to up and coming young talent, which coincides with Tomorrowland’s own DJ Academy where attendees get to try their hands on the decks of that stage. Tomorrowland nurtures talent from the beginning all the way through a mainstage closing set (just ask Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, or Charlotte de Witte). No matter what type of music you’re into and whether you’re a newbie or a veteran, Tomorrowland will impress you. The Stages With approximately sixteen different stages at Tomorrowland, there’s every type of experience you can imagine. From the gargantuan Mainstage, to the cutting edge Freedom Stage, to the award winning Atmosphere and CORE Stages, to the gorgeous Crystal Garden Stage, and the beloved Library Stage, among others. The Mainstage is always a marvel of technology, with decor that now wraps around the entire lower bowl area. This year Tomorrowland utilized cutting edge LED screens on the mainstage and Freedom Stage, with the highest quality ever seen at the festival. Some stages, like Atmosphere, also use Tomorrowland’s proprietary 360 sound system (like Atmos) for a sound experience unlike any other. Many of the stages utilize water fountains, a crowd favorite to be sure. At Tomorrowland 2024, almost every stage was introduced within the past 3 years. With the retiring of Youphoria and introduction of Planaxis, the oldest stage at Tomorrowland is undoubtedly Rose Garden, who recently got a face lift last year and slight technical upgrade this year. Rose Garden is a beloved stage by the Tomorrowland creators so we don’t see it going anywhere. The next oldest stage would, believe it or not, be Atmosphere (which has been there since 2018). The Freedom Stage is now in its second iteration since 2022 and Library has similarly been around since that time. It feels like Tomorrowland is approaching a method closer to Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The festival has found the perfect setup of stages, so now the festival is iterating on those stage designs rather than replacing the stage completely with something different. Tomorrowland is always experimenting with new things and looking for feedback. If the people love it, it’ll stay. If the people don’t, it’ll go. If something can be improved, then it will. The biggest new stages in 2024 were the refreshed CORE Stage and the new Planaxis Stage. It’s hard to imagine what stage changes we could see in 2025, but we’re excited to see. The Tomorrowland Touches The Tomorrowland touches are another big part of making the festival fly far above the rest. These are the things that just work and make you wonder why other festivals can’t figure it out. As you walk around you’ll note that there are bars and food vendors within listening distance of almost every stage. You don’t have to leave the action to get a drink or food. The restrooms are always nearby, clean, and never too crowded. The cell phone service is spotless, so finding friends is a breeze because even pictures and videos go through without issue. If there’s an area where crowd flow became an issue over the years, Tomorrowland has addressed it with more pathways and bigger walkways. One of this year’s focal points was more space, so many of the stage areas and walkways were enlarged to reduce crowding. The food options are outstanding and would be good even if you weren’t at a music festival. Where else can you get a Tomahawk steak at a music festival? Check out Brasa if you ever manage to attend and try it. This year even featured beer vending machines where you place your cup, select the beer, and it would pour into the cup for you. The Tomorrowland touch goes far beyond that and impacts everything you see, and even things you don’t. The festival provides travel packages for thousands of attendees each year that include all of their travel, lodging, shuttles, etc. The campgrounds have a gym and a grocery store that are as good as you’d find at home. The festival, quite literally, thinks of everything and has a plan for it. The Tomorrowland touch continues even after you return home. The very moment Tomorrowland’s two weekends had ended, over 100 sets were uploaded in full to YouTube, including even the rarest sets that went down over the festival. So even if you had to make a tough choice during a conflict, more likely than not you’ll be able to stream the sets you missed later. The Team The final piece that makes Tomorrowland so magical, and has done so for nearly two decades now, is the team behind it. As part of the media crew, I have the opportunity to meet some of these faces year after year. The public face of Tomorrowland, Debby Wilmsen, is truly a superwoman. She is there to answer any question, provide any news update or quote, or address any problem that might arise during and year and especially at the festival. While Tomorrowland seems like a gargantuan entity, being able to put on this massively complex festival (and its offshoots) year after year, it’s truly a family operation. Tomorrowland is an annual reunion for many of these people, and that has come to include the media representatives as well. Where some US festivals feel like a multinational conglomerate is running things, Tomorrowland puts real faces on the festival. This team has been at it making magic for years together, and you can tell there’s nothing they’d rather be doing. Conclusion Tomorrowland 2024 was a celebration of festival excellence and also a celebration of the progress that the electronic dance music scene has made as it has matured across the world. Tomorrowland is an EDM festival, but it has set the standard across the world as one of the single best music festivals to ever exist. It’s much more than a music festival. It’s a magical experience that literally anybody could fall in love with. If you haven’t been, you need to (try to) get your tickets for 2025.

Innervisions has pushed the accelerator this summer. Dixon and Âme‘s label has released not one, but two new tunes in two weeks or so. The imprint welcomes Jimi Jules back with a new project and the tune Human Rights and Trikk with Fortuna. Let’s first have a look at Human Rights. The single is the first installment of Jules’ new conceptual project Now. This creative and evolving platform explores life, love, togetherness, and the above-all joy of making music without losing track of reality. It’s not just music as Jimi Jules has entrusted Trevor Jackson as the visual director for the project. The record blends percussive elements, a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm, and a housey synth loop into a fine melange for the dance floor; the perfect stage for Jimi Jules’ glimmering vocal performance and the personal message of the track. That’s not all for Innervisions. The label, as already reported, just today presented Trikk’s new single Fortuna. On a first listen the track, and especially the vocals, could sound familiar. This is because of the talented Kenyan singer-songwriter Sofiya Nzau. She is known for her viral world hit “Mwaki“ and collaborations with artists including Bob Sinclar and Tiesto. Fortuna is a vibrant mix of Trikk’s rhythmic, tribal, and organic production style. It combines Sofia’s soulful vocals, making it a perfect match and addition to the summer. “Fortuna” is the third release of Trikk on Innervisions so far in 2024. For the track’s artwork, Trikk and Innervisions have collaborated with Joao Castro’s The Royal Studio to craft a self-portrait that evokes the true essence of the music. This is not the first time they have collaborated as, also on the previous releases, you can enjoy incredible artwork. Both tunes are out now via Innervisions.

Don Diablo: a name that echoes through the world's most epic arenas and music festivals, yet belongs to a man who finds the most comfort in the hushed spaces between. Silence breeds thunder in the hyper-creative world of Diablo, a buccaneering DJ with the soul of a poet. Fans know him as the headlining, pioneering progenitor of the future house genre, but underneath the veil lies a fascinating dichotomy between the larger-than-life persona and introverted recluse. We caught up with the Dutch electronic music superstar ahead of a can't-miss performance on August 9th at the Brooklyn Mirage, where he's debuting an ambitious and deeply personal live show concept. Like a hermit in a hurricane, he's laying bare his humanity more than ever at the monumental concert. "I'm a guy who's always hiding behind three layers of clothing, always wearing sunglasses, and there's barely a photo out there of me wearing a t-shirt," Diablo tells EDM.com. "I generally don't like to show any skin or anything of the real Don. I'm always living in the future, sort of hiding behind a wall of technology. So I think for [the Brooklyn Mirage show] it was important to show a little bit more Don." "There's a custom DJ booth that's see-through so you can actually see me," he continues. "Usually when you see a DJ, you just see half a body... It's really more about making it a little bit more personal as well as finding a way to push the technology and come up with clever things." View the original article to see embedded media. The ghost in the machine will take form at the Mirage with help from Ethan Tobman, the renowned Creative Director of Taylor Swift's historic "Eras Tour," which in late-2023 became the highest-grossing tour of all-time after surpassing $1 billion in revenue. The two were introduced by Diablo's agency, WME, and he was surprised to learn that Tobman was a fan. Tobman, he said, read his sci-fi adventure comic series, HEXAGON, three times back-to-back. "I actually never ever met anyone who did that," Diablo recalls. "He was that well-versed into my world and into my psyche and into my brain. There really wasn't another option then but to work with him. He has a very different approach and style than I have, which is what I need because I need somebody that goes against me—someone who has a different vision." The acclaimed production designer's influence has been paramount not only to Diablo's creative breakthroughs, but also his own self-esteem. He points to the Tobman-directed video for "SexyBack," his remake of Justin Timberlake's generational hit of the same name, wherein he appeared shirtless for the first time after years of grappling with body confidence issues. "I've always felt very not confident about my body," Diablo says. "I used to weigh roughly about 50 pounds more than I do now, when I was a teen. I never go to the beach. I never go to the swimming pool. I generally just don't feel confident when I'm not wearing a shitload of clothes." Now, however, Diablo says he feels younger and healthier than he ever has, which also helps him mentally and creatively. "I lost around 17 pounds to do the 'SexyBack' video, which was a really scary thing for me to do," he continues. "You have to be comfortable with yourself, so I really worked my ass off." To that end, it's clear that someone like Diablo, 44, can't truly succeed and find inner peace unless he's constantly pushing the limits of his own barriers. A laissez-faire attitude has never been an option. But that pursuit of growth comes with the risk of alienating diehard fans, with whom he wishes to evolve in lockstep. "Sometimes it feels like you can't make everyone happy... It feels like there's so much pressure," he laments. It's hard sometimes. I like to focus as hard and as best possible to create as many beautiful things for the world out there before I pass away. And that's all I got." Diablo's genius lies in his uncanny ability to bottle the euphoria of youth, as well as the longing of adolescence and the complexity of adulthood. At the intersection of nostalgia and futurism, his music has long-functioned more as a time capsule, imprinting on fans during specific life chapters and growing with them in lockstep. Opening up about his approach to songwriting, Diablo paints a picture of his goal to soundtrack the highlight reels of his fans' lives, from first kisses to devastating losses. He's not interested in fleeting chart-toppers—he wants to create a sound with tendrils that tether to your most profound moments. Diablo points to a song coming out soon called "Young Again," which he says is an ode to lost youth, a precious gift easily overshadowed by life's demands. After all, our most vibrant years won't ever return, and regret is a bitter companion. "I think right now we have to live our best life. Because we will never be young again," he explains. "We are stuck in so many things that pull us down that we forget to enjoy. That's really something I want to learn and something I want to try to do in New York as well: enjoy all the music I've made, look at the faces of these people and remember that I will never be doing this again. I always think this might be my last show—that's the way I go into it. Every Don Diablo might be the last show I'll ever do."

Thirteen years ago, David Guetta and Sia unleashed ‘Titanium,’ a track that exploded onto the music scene and forever changed the landscape of dance and pop music. As we explore this significant moment, it is apparent that ‘Titanium’ has evolved into more than just a song. It is an ode about power and determination that inspires listeners worldwide. ‘Titanium’ emerged at a critical time for both artists. It solidified Guetta‘s image as an influential artist in the EDM scene, while it propelled Sia into the global music spotlight. The collaboration combined Guetta‘s incredible producing abilities with Sia‘s powerful, passionate vocals to create a track that’s both sonically astounding and emotionally moving. The song’s lyrics explore themes of inner power and defiance. The chorus, with the now-iconic phrase “You shoot me down, but I will not fall, I am titanium,” has become an inspiration for many who struggle with their own battles. Sia‘s performance imbues the words with emotional vulnerability, deepening the song’s message of empowerment. ‘Titanium’ immediately achieved global fame. It reached the top ten ranking in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and was certified multi-platinum. The track’s success was made possible by its visually stunning music video, which depicts a young boy with supernatural abilities fleeing those who fear him. This story of misunderstood power echoes the song’s themes, offering a new dimension of significance for viewers. Critics commended ‘Titanium’ for its powerful blend of David Guetta‘s production and Sia‘s vocal performance. It established a new standard for EDM-pop collaborations and influenced the genre’s evolution in subsequent years. The song has been covered, remixed, and reinterpreted numerous times, indicating its ongoing popularity and adaptability. Since its release, ‘Titanium’ has been a mainstay in both pop and EDM playlists. It continues to uplift and motivate listeners, reminding them of their own inner strength. As we celebrate its anniversary, we recognize not only its success, but also its permanent impact on music and its deep message, which continues to speak just as strongly now as it did in 2011.

The 2010s were a time when EDM went mainstream. Las Vegas dayclubs were buzzing in the summertime, featuring several EDM DJ producers. Afrojack and Steve Aoki were a significant part of this emerging scene. Afrojack had a summer residency at Encore Beach Club, while Steve Aoki was a regular at Wet Republic. Today, ‘No Beef’ turns 13 years old. Where does time go?! Afrojack released the track as a single, and Steve Aoki later included it as a bonus track on his Wonderland album in 2012. This single was the first of now five collaborations between Afrojack and Steve Aoki, solidifying their “bromance.” The music video for ‘No Beef’ also debuted their moniker “Afroki”, combining “Afro” from Afrojack and “ki” from Aoki. The bromance between these two was further cemented with both producers getting matching ‘No Beef’ necklace tattoos confirmed in the video. Aoki secretly recorded parts of the video with his cell phone at a Las Vegas gift shop, adding to the track’s summertime vibes. The bromance between these two is evident in the video, showcasing how great EDM can be when two legends come together. Here’s to hoping for more future collabs with Afroki down the road.

Oscar Kenny, known by his moniker Bypass Music, is a rising star in the electronic music scene. With his debut EP, he has managed to create a unique blend of ambient textures and emotional depth that resonates with listeners on a personal level. Based in Leeds, Oscar has been honing his craft since his early teens, spending countless hours in his home studio. In this exclusive interview, we dive into his creative process, inspirations, and plans for the future. What are you up to now? I’m in the studio in my back garden here in Leeds. I’ve spent every evening here from the age of 13 to 20. It’s covered in equipment and a bit of a mess right now, but it’s my creative space. What’s the setup like? I’m using Logic with HS5 speakers. It’s a basic setup, really. I just have a standard Focusrite interface and a decent microphone. Nothing too fancy, though I wish I had some Apollo sound cards and some Yamahas though. Is it important to have a space like this? Yes, it’s very spiritual here. It feels natural to make music in this space. It’s one of the only rooms where I can fully be myself. Sometimes working in the studio feels like an extension of who I am. What got you into music production? I started making beats on GarageBand when I was like 10 and then that turned into Logic by the time I was 13. And then my dad is a writer and producer as well. So, we’ve always had the studio in the garden. When I got to 13 instead of going out with my friends, the first year of high school, I used to spend most of my evenings in the studio. Back then I was trying to do the whole Martin Garrix thing, you know, the super big room, dance-pop scene. I wasn’t trying to make anything original; I was just trying to emulate it. Then when I was 14, I started engineering and producing for local rappers from Leeds. But I just spent a big, big portion of my teenage years doing that. But yeah, I am. I used to have something I can quite vividly remember. Actually, I used to obviously do all these sessions with rappers and it was a way of making money and it was never really a thing of pure passion. However, I can remember as soon as I was left in the studio by myself, I used to have this craving of I want to make some shit that gives me goosebumps or something I’m going to feel emotionally. And then that’s when I started doing the low-fi-esque garage thing that I feel like I’ve got going on at the moment. It was a way to make money rather than a passion project, but it was during these sessions that I began to seek that feeling of creating something that gives you goosebumps. Did you feel misdirected starting off? Absolutely. I think it was difficult because you know, my whole purpose for making music is to get goosebumps and I only really get that from emotional music and then when you’re in a room of 5 to 6 rappers and you know, you’ve got to make the hardest drill beat that they’ve ever heard. I feel like it put me in a position where I felt like I wasn’t sure where I was going to go. I felt slightly misunderstood when I was in sessions with other people. Hence why I spent most evenings out here by myself for a lot of years just you know, after searching for that feeling of getting goosebumps just from music. Making beats for a group feels like a live performance. When COVID lockdown happened, I couldn’t do that anymore. That’s when I got really involved in my own music and sound, exploring it without anyone looking over my shoulder. Did you enjoy making rap beats? I feel like that whole time of working with rappers was interesting just because you know, when you’re in a room full of sometimes like 5 to 10 artists and you’re on the buttons and you’re the engineer. You got to kind of keep everybody engaged. And I found ways of doing that might be, I don’t know, manipulating the beat at certain points, manipulating the voice, punch lines and stuff. I found it quite endearing because every single time you’ve almost slightly felt like a live performance in a strange way because if you’ve got the song there, the vocal is mixed, instrument was all sitting nice and then I used to take it upon myself to try and gas everybody up that was in the room. It was an interesting time. Tell us about Bypass Music. Bypass Music is my first EP, a 6-track project that took about a year and a half to produce. It feels like a coming-of-age EP, reflecting four years of feelings, fears, and insecurities. The first song I wrote for it, ‘Strangers’, is about a panic attack and feeling awkward as a teenager. It captures that phase of growing up and becoming an adult. I just started writing my own songs in the studio and because I had nobody around me to influence what I was working on. I think it was just like originally me for the first time. And then when I realised, I could do that. I just became hellbent on making a project that felt like me, but I feel like that took a long time to do the run around I’ve made in the projects I’ve made. From instrumental dance projects to full on folk singer-songwriter projects. And then I think when I landed on Bypass Music I think that was the first time when I thought, you know, I actually am ready to put some music out there. Cause I’m, as you can probably tell, I’m not a very social person and I’m quite an anxious individual. And so, the thought of putting music in the world has always felt, you know, like it was going to be something quite difficult. But I think because I’m so proud of the music now because I do genuinely believe it is a true reflection of me. It’s not actually as difficult as I thought it was going to be. How did you shape your sound? I’m inspired by bedroom pop artists like Clairo, who make understated indie music. I’m quite fascinated by the concept of bedroom pop music. These records, while great pop songs, are created in a very understated and lo-fi manner because many of these kids genuinely make them in their bedrooms. This aesthetic has subtly influenced my dance production, as I love the idea of bedroom garage music. Unlike those who enjoy raves and clubs, I’m more of a listener. I prefer to sit by myself and dance away. This preference for solitude reflects in my music, making it quite emotional. I’m always searching for that ‘goosebumps’ feeling, where a song feels so right that it almost makes you want to cry, even if it’s not sad. I’m addicted to that feeling and it drives me to the studio, sometimes even losing sleep over it. This passion is incredibly important to me. Hearing Burial for the first time really captured that sound for me. My music is quite emotional. My main aim is always to try to give the listener goosebumps. It’s difficult to do but when you achieve it it’s a great feeling. What songs have given you these goosebumps? Prince’s ‘I Feel for You’ and The 1975’s ‘Robbers’ have overwhelmed me. You seem to be more inspired by the live music scene rather than the electric music scene. Do you feel like an outsider in the scene? For sure. I’m an indie artist making electronic music. The fundamentals are there, but if you create a garage beat over a song, it doesn’t necessarily make it a garage track. My projects dance around dance music and are more suited for introverted listeners rather than for the club. What’s your songwriting process like? For Bypass Music, everything starts with ambience. That’s very unusual for a producer. How did that happen? I’m a big fan of Brian Eno and create a lot of ambient sounds using guitars with reverbs, doublers, and octave pedals. It’s about capturing textures and creating a space. I love trying to capture the environment I’m in when I make music. So you produce, make beats, write songs. When did you start singing? I started singing when I was about 13, writing lyrics and recording them. I’m quite impatient in the studio, and it often feels like a blur. I focus on the feeling of the music, listening to it until I hate it. Who would be your ultimate collaboration? I’d love to collaborate with George Daniel from The 1975. Also, Amber Bayne. Their music combines electronic and pop elements with a leftfield, abstract perspective, which I love. Where did you get the name Bypass from? It’s a mix of two things. My best mate lives in a village near Manchester, and we spent a lot of time on the bypass listening to music and writing songs. I also live next to a bypass and would record the ambient sounds. Inspired by Brian Eno’s “Music for Airports”, I wanted to create “Music for the Bypass”. Would you perform as a band in the future? Yeah, for sure. That’s the plan. I don’t see myself as a singular producer or DJ like Fred Again. I want to feel more like a shoegaze band. What’s on the horizon for Bypass? The rest of the songs from the EP will be released soon. I’m working on a lot of music, ranging from singer-songwriter to grunge sounds. I like the idea of reinventing myself for each project, much like Bowie and Prince did. Each project is an opportunity to create a cohesive space, rather than just a song.
