As MagicX launches Hero on the App Store, anticipation is building for a product that promises to pioneer a new category of mobile application. Backed by The Chainsmokers, the Hero app leverages AI to create a seamless, intuitive user experience designed to revolutionize how we manage our daily lives. The heart of Hero's innovation lies in its unique approach to design and AI integration. Unlike traditional apps, it aims to be the first true super-app, unlocking new possibilities with a sophisticated yet user-friendly interface. Alex Pall and Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers have been bringing their innovative spirit to the tech world through their Mantis VC fund. Their creative input and investment in Hero significantly shaped the app's development. "They joke that people who meet them outside of music say they are 'pleasantly surprised.' That's an understatement," Hero CEO Brad Kowalk tells EDM.com. "Their creativity extends to any field. For instance, Alex may have a concert coming up but will still squeeze in a message about Siri and his thoughts on where the broader assistant space is headed." Hero Kowalk and CTO Seung Lee's leadership has led to the development of Hero's central features, which include voice-activated event creation, collaborative to-do lists and AI-driven grocery list generation. These capabilities, designed to streamline daily life, make it easier to manage routine tasks with just a few voice commands. Kowalk explains there's multiple areas in the app where you'll interact with AI. "The big one is the voice interface, which uses AI to detect what you're saying, understand what you're trying to do, then update the UI in real-time as you're speaking," he said. MagicX envisions Hero evolving to meet the changing needs of users, particularly those in creative fields. The app is designed to reduce the time and effort spent on managing daily tasks, allowing users to focus more on their passions. "Our mission is for you to do more by doing less," Kowalk adds. "If we do our job right, you won't even have to think about 'productivity' in the future. People, especially creative people, should be able to free up their minds and schedules to do more of what they love." Akhil Patel, Hero's designer, emphasized the app's foundational principles that set it apart from existing productivity tools. The dashboard, he explains, is designed to keep AI invisible and strive for simplicity. "Most productivity tools start with one or two niche functions but get clunky over time," Patel says. "With Hero, our goal is to continuously simplify and optimize as we add new features so the overall complexity doesn’t increase over time." You can download Hero on the App Store here.

The electrifying French Bass House producers, Tchami and Malaa, have been creating and releasing some of the most firey tracks that fans of the genre have been loving over and over nonstop for the past couple of years. On Friday, August 2nd, Tchami and Malaa reunited once more and this time, they teamed up with American Electro House producer, MAKJ, to release the scintillating and adrenaline-pumping ‘N9’. For this track, the producers started off really well by including the sample from ‘The Choice is Yours’, a classic hit from the Hip-Hop duo, Black Sheep. Additionally, the producers also incorporate a couple lyrics from ‘Be Faithful’ of Fatman Scoop, “Engine, engine, number nine, on the NY transit line, if my train goes off the track, pick it up! pick it up! pick it up!“. Tchami and Malaa releasing ‘N9’ alongside MAKJ follows up from the successes of their most recent releases, ‘Giving Me Life’, ‘Barbarian’, ‘When The Beat Bang’, and ‘A Prayer’.

The sun rose and set to Skrillex's command over the weekend at Lollapalooza, where the dubstep icon transformed one of the festival's most beloved stages into his own adult playground. Sporting a new name atop its towering truss, the iconic Perry's Stage transformed into "Sonny's Stage" and trembled under the weight of Skrillex's sonic bookends as he opened Saturday with a noon set under the Chicago sun before closing the night with a thunderous encore at 8:15. A curated lineup of his friends and collaborators, including Kenny Beats and Four Tet, built the energy to a fever pitch in-between. When darkness fell, Skrillex returned to detonate that pent-up frenzy with a genre-bending blitz of bangers, including spins of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," Bangarang" and his remix of Avicii's timeless "Levels." The energy boiled over when he closed with "RATATA," his fan-favorite collaboration with Missy Elliott from last year's Quest for Fire album. Many fans at "Sonny's Stage" stayed put the entire day. Skrillex paused at one point to pay homage to the stage's namesake, Perry Farrell, and acknowledge his wish for it to remain dedicated to the famed Lollapalooza co-founder. Taylor Regulski Roger Ho The rare takeover was a big moment for the electronic dance music community considering Farrell's thorny relationship with the genre. "I hate EDM," he told the Chicago Tribune back in 2019. "I want to vomit it out of my nostrils. I can't stand what it did to what I love, which is house music." Reflecting on those comments in a late-2022 interview with EDM.com, he explained that they were more so a critique on the bastardization of the art form of DJing that arose from corporate interests. "It just kind of came out of my mouth," he said. "I shouldn't have probably said it, but once I said it, I mean, I stand by it because I'm only going to try to speak from a place of truth." Watch footage from Skrillex's 2024 Lollapalooza takeover below.

The filaments of Pretty Lights are glowing brighter than ever after a rare collaborative performance with Dave Tipper at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Together with his live band, Pretty Lights, whose real name is Derek Vincent Smith, threw down at the iconic open-air venue on August 2nd and invited Tipper onstage. The influential electronic music producer, who rarely makes guest appearances, joined Smith for an impromptu scratch session that fans of both artists won't soon forget. "What a fucking treat to have such a legend in the house with us," Smith said. They performed a live rendition of Tipper's track "Tepid Bile," which appeared on his 2005 album Tip Hop. Check out footage below, courtesy of Upful LIFE. Tipper had joined Smith onstage a handful of times in years past, including a standout Pretty Lights set at the Gorge Amphitheatre in August 2017. The rare joint performance at Red Rocks is likely their last, however. It took place in the midst of a de facto farewell run for Tipper, who in February announced his impending retirement from touring. "After spending the better part of my adult life touring and playing shows, I feel like its time to stop," he announced in an email to fans at the time. "I'm very grateful for all the support over the years. It will be a wrap sometime in 2025. Peace Out." Meanwhile, Pretty Lights is poised to continue his "Soundship Spacesystem 2024 Check Your Vector Tour" with a pair of momentous Vegas arena shows scheduled for Halloween weekend, October 25-26.

The Ruling and Its Implications The court annulled Roselló’s 2008 Space Ibiza trademark due to its “nominative and graphic” similarity to the original Space Ibiza Dance logo, registered by Fiesta Hotels & Resorts SL in 1991. The court’s statement highlighted the phonetic and visual similarities, emphasizing that both logos are “practically identical” in elements like the star and the sphere. This similarity falls under Trademark Law (article 34-2-b), which prevents third parties from using similar signs that could confuse the public. Immediate Repercussions Following the ruling, Palladium Hotel Group, which owns Fiesta Hotels & Resorts SL, demanded the cessation of the Space Ibiza parties currently held at Eden nightclub. The decision also impacts other trademarks, including Space Dance Barcelona, Space Dance Madrid, Space Beach Club, and Space Club. Palladium Group expressed their intent to hold their own Space parties using the logo. In response, Roselló stated that he respects the ruling but plans to appeal. He clarified that the decision only affects the Space Ibiza brand within Spain, not other international trademarks, including the new venue in Riccione, Italy. A Long-Standing Legal Battle This ruling is the latest in a long-running legal dispute between Roselló and the Matutes family. Roselló originally leased the venue from Matutes in 1989 and managed Space Ibiza until its closure in 2016. Post-closure, Roselló continued hosting events across Europe under the Space Ibiza name, while the original venue in Playa d’en Bossa was transformed into Hï Ibiza by Palladium Hotel Group’s Ushuaïa Entertainment. Despite the closure of Space Ibiza in 2016, there have been persistent rumors about its reopening. In 2021, Roselló hinted at a new bar, restaurant, and club night in Ibiza’s San Antonio, continuing the legacy of the world-renowned club. Read the full report from Diario de Ibiza here.

We couldn’t get enough of it then. We still can’t get enough of it. This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of the entire Tomorrowland 2024 festival. Weeks ahead of time, Dance music icon Hardwell ran a poll on his social media channels, letting fans and followers know he would be playing not only at the Mainstage but also had a slot on the Freedom Stage, in which he would play a different set, given the name of the booth. Among the options, the clear winner was the Throwback EDM Set, which promised to relive all those golden classics we loved, danced to, sang our lungs out to, and even cried to, around ten full years ago. And so he got to work with it, unearthing the best mashups and tracks from yesteryear. And boy, was it a beautiful set. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. Hardwell’s Throwback EDM Set @ Tomorrowland We promise you, it was gemstone after gemstone, and singalong after singalong. Our only complaint is that it was only an hour long. But those 60 minutes were an ABSOLUTE HIGH for everyone, both physical attendees, Hardwell himself, and even those who were tuning in to the livestream from around the world. Robbert’s set was a walk down memory lane, from the get-go, with his Tomorrowland 2015 intro. Some of the tracks that were played include Showtek and Justin Prime’s ‘Cannonball‘, Krewella’s ‘Alive‘, Armin van Buuren’s ‘Ping Pong‘, the mythical unofficial golden EDM anthem ‘Mammoth‘, and many, many more. Check the full tracklist via 1001Tracklists, or simply play the video and enjoy jumping into this beautiful hole, completely blindfolded. Do us a favour and note down the amount of goosebumps you might get. It was pure fan service, although seeing Hardwell smile like he hadn’t in years makes it 100 times better. Make sure to stay tuned to our page for the latest news and views from our beloved Dance music industry.

Hearing the bubbly, walk-on-air music of Sigala, you'd never guess the first dance record he ever picked up. That was a CD containing a Clubland X-Treme Hardcore compilation, one of many that were instrumental in the popularization of hardcore techno, acid house, gabber and other heart-pounding genres after the series' 2003 inception. His formative years in music were spent immersing in the raw, unfiltered electropunk energy of The Prodigy and the ferocious drum & bass of Pendulum and NERO, among other deeply influential electronic acts. Now, after nearly a decade of painting dancefloors with the pastel hues of dance-pop, Sigala is diving back into the palpitating underbelly of club culture that once fascinated him as a young boy in England. For those weaned on his many Platinum dance-pop confections, this evolution may induce whiplash. But for the nocturnal creatures who thrive in the strobe-lit chaos of the underground, it'll feel like home. Sigala's shift, which his label has called the start of a "bold new era," feels like watching a mad scientist in action—delightfully unhinged and hungry for more. We caught up with the hit-making producer to discuss his next chapter and the "liberating" experience of making music for the rave in lieu of the radio. Sigala.Reuben Bastienne-Lewis EDM.com: Take us back to the beginning. Which artists and sounds deeply inspired you growing up in Norfolk? Sigala: So this sounds like a made-up story, but the way I discovered electronic music was when I found a CD on the side of the road in Norfolk, England where I grew up. CDs were still shiny cool objects back then, so I picked it up. I had no idea what it was, and it turned out to be a Clubland X-Treme Hardcore mix and it blew my little mind. I'd honestly never heard anything like it before. I was just a kid at this point and my parents were into bands and rock music so that was all that I had heard. I hadn't heard much in terms of electronic music. It really excited me, and I got obsessed with the CD, then I started to discover other artists of different genres. I listened to a lot of drum & bass from people like Sub Focus, lots of Fatboy Slim, NERO, Prodigy and Pendulum—such a sick time for electronic music. So that was my early years of getting into dance music or electronic music. EDM.com: Fast-forward to 2024, a year that's said to kickstart a "bold new era" of your production after seven Platinum-certified global dance hits. What inspired you to move towards a more rave-inspired sound? Sigala: Honestly, I just get bored of doing the same thing. I know there's a lot of purists when it comes to genre, but I don’t think genre has to be so black and white. I think it can be way more fluid. I’m always looking for a new sound or a new idea that I can get excited about dropping at my next show. I also think it's really important to keep pushing yourself and trying to break the mold or break other people's perception of you. Plus I just really love ravey tunes. Sigala.Eli Koren EDM.com: Do you feel a sense of creative liberation now that you're experimenting with a more club-oriented sound? How does it compare to crafting radio-friendly hits? Sigala: It’s definitely rewarding in a totally different way because the stuff that I make for radio I'm always having to make edits, club edits, festival edits to make sure it works in a club environment. The pop stuff is never written with the club or live performance in mind, so it has been really fun making music that is solely designed for live consumption and being able to see a real-time response. That's been really fun, approaching it in a different way and thinking about a different audience and a different experience—liberating in its own way. EDM.com: Looking back on "Easy Love," which is celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, can you dissect the evolution in your approach to production? Beyond the higher tempos, what changed? Sigala: I don't think my approach to production and making music has changed—I guess it's just my taste that will always keep evolving. Saying that I do think it's important to never stop learning and I still buy nerdy producer magazines and waste money on new synths that I will never use! EDM.com: From a technical standpoint, is there a music production epiphany you had along the way that you wish you could go back in time and implement in that debut single? Sigala: That's a really interesting question! Maybe one thing that I was very guilty of when I first started producing was layering sounds unnecessarily. A big lesson I have learned along the way is that sometimes 'less is more' and you can make a bigger sound with less parts or less layers. That's something that I’ve had to be strict on myself with, and something that I try to avoid doing. Now I try to make each sound as good as it can be before you start adding more in, because you can probably make it work with what’s already there. That bad habit also probably came from a lack of confidence in my own skills—now it's about being brave and saying this is the killer sound that people need to hear. EDM.com: Your music of yesteryear often explored chasing love and the highs that come with it. From a lyrical perspective, will your stylistic shift in sound come with any surprising themes or subject matter? Sigala: I have lost count of how many of my songs have "Love" in the title, but I guess it’s such a universal feeling, so everyone can relate to it. I try not to overthink that stuff though. When it comes to lyrics and concepts, it either resonates with me or it doesn't. It really is a case of, "Does it make me feel something when I’m listening to it?" If it makes me feel something, then usually that will translate to other people. The lyrics do definitely have an impact on how I approach the style of the track though, so with new genre exploration there will definitely be a change in lyrical content. EDM.com: You've worked with a diverse range of artists, from Kylie Minogue to The Vamps and now 24kGoldn. How do you adapt your sound to suit different collaborators without compromising your signature style? Sigala: It’s one of the reasons why I love working with other people: it gives me more of a license to experiment with other sounds. I would never have made a disco-inspired record if it wasn't for the involvement of Nile Rodgers on "Give Me Your Love." I loved working with Fuse ODG because I was able to experiment with mixing Afrobeats with my own style, and it's the same story for a lot of my songs. I kind of love that you asked that question because I really don't want to be known for just one genre or one track. EDM.com: What's next for you? What's the most exciting thing in the Sigala pipeline you can give our readers without getting into trouble? Sigala: Haha! Not sure if I can reveal. More great music that you need to listen to loud!

After 16 residencies and numerous shows on the White Isle, it should come as no surprise that Armin van Buuren's new single "Es Vedrà" pays tribute to the fabled Spanish island of Ibiza. "Ibiza is said to be home to sirens and sea-nymphs, who tried to lure Odysseus from his ship in Homer's Odyssey," says van Buuren. "It is also thought of as the holy island of Tanit, the Phoenician lunar goddess worshiped as the patron goddess of fertility, who became Ibiza's patroness. This inspired me to make a track about the island.” A chorus of voices kicks off the progressive house track, enticing us in a siren-like chant, which carries throughout the arrangement. Meanwhile, its dazzling beat builds to a bouncing drop, agile in both rhythm and melody, begging for a sun-dappled dancefloor. The energy of "Es Vedrà" only increases throughout, making the song a heater of mythological proportions. The track arrives ahead of an expansive touring schedule for the famed Dutch DJ, one that includes a September residency at the legendary Ushuaïa Ibiza club. Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.
