Every detail adds to the opulence. Flowers, scrollwork, and theatrical masks adorn the stage. Each element tells a story. This stage is a technological marvel too. The sound system is top-notch. Lighting rigs are complex and precise. They can create any mood. A sea of people gathers before the stage. The crowd is dense and energetic. Hands reach up. Bodies move to the beat.

A seed is planted, it anchors roots and a flower blooms. The pedals fall as the flower wilts and returns to the soil. The cycle of life sources the old to empower the new, a concept that's very much present in Whethan’s new album, Life of a Wallflower Vol. 2. You can trace the project's DNA to its predecessor back in 2018, but Whethan’s latest effort is entirely distinct from his debut. And it's apropos that he constructed a sequel to Life of a Wallflower when he did. Whethan "hit the reset" button on his creative approach, he tells EDM.com, while enduring Mother Nature’s volatility during and after the pandemic. The outcome is a swathe of fresh creativity while adopting the soul of the original project. "I felt like the world kind of slowed down for a little bit for many reasons," Whethan recalls. “It gave me more time to reflect on myself and work on this new sound and a bunch of different sounds." "Trying to collaborate with many different artists in many different fields. This is very reminiscent of six years ago when I did the first project. If you will, this feels like the return or the next part in the series.” World-building is a fundamental component of Whethan’s music. He keenly pays attention to it in all mediums, whether the immersive vices of the Cyberpunk video game’s futuristic metropolis or the cruel, captivating beauty of the Dune films. The latter specifically seems to sometimes inspire Life of the Wallflower Vol. 2 with its rich desert theme and sounds. It's appropriate that the lonely Wallflower sprouts in such difficult terrain. Whethan is a world traveler who is always pursuing something new. Take for example Middle Eastern instrumentation and rock music, each of which he's enthusiastic about exploring further. His youthful curiousness for discovery tethers the two volumes of Life of a Wallflower. “It's a blessing and a curse. I can't ever seem to want to make the same thing twice,” Whethan says. “I love pushing boundaries and seeing what kind of new sounds I can come up with. This one is different, but the energy and feeling are similar. The sounds aren't the same, but they might evoke the same emotion or the same feelings that the first one gave me. But in a modern current landscape twist.” It’s been nearly a decade since Whethan’s debut original release, “Can’t Hide,” a song predating Life of a Wallflower by two years. His relative longevity makes it easy to forget that he's very much in bloom. The 25-year-old producer and DJ has been touring as an artist since he was in high school. It’s an unusual circumstance that’s rotted the careers of many young artists plagued by the entertainment industry's seedy side. That’s not Whethan’s story. He has fortunately been nurtured by a caring team and there isn't much he'd change about his work-life trajectory, perhaps only the composure that comes with time. “Just chill out,” Whethan says. “Looking now at where I'm at, I could just think back to certain times when I was just so stressed out and just destroying myself mentally to the brink to try to finish something or do something that maybe deep down I know wasn't really, but I don't know.” He’s even hesitant to call that a mistake, highlighting an important truth about tough learning lessons. “That's that part of me that's like, well, you never know,” Whethan says. “It's like the picture of the guy cutting in the rocks and the diamonds are right there, but you don't know until you break that next rock.” “So I always believed that it was all for a reason. That's why I don't look back with any regret but, definitely, just chill out. It's going to be okay. Trust the process.” Whethan was well into his senior year of high school when he got a life-changing offer to tour with The Chainsmokers in 2017. “I was still in high school while I was setting up my team,” Whethan recalls. “I had enough credits to graduate. The Chainsmokers had offered me a slot on their tour, which even looking back is still one of the most massive, insane tours I've ever seen. It was super eye-opening at the time, especially in high school, to just go and see what a tour of that scale looks like. It felt like a Taylor Swift-sized tour. There were multiple semi-trucks and stadium arenas every night. Getting a taste of that was truly amazing.” The logistics of a high school senior skipping class to tour the U.S. for a mainstream act’s world tour sounds like a wonderfully absurd movie plot. But in reality, it was surprisingly seamless in its execution. “My school was down with it! They were super supportive," he continues. "I had been talking to my guidance counselor during my senior year because people started to pay attention because things were starting to make their way on the internet. They were supportive and they wanted to look out for me. They said, ‘You have enough credits to graduate early if you want to get out a semester early and go do the tour.’ I just said, ‘Yes! Let's do it.'" "The parents were super supportive too. My dad is a math teacher in high school—not the school that I went to—but a different school. Even watching him, someone who's in the education system, say, ‘I think this is a good move. I think you should do it,’ was amazing.” Whethan has often trusted the process. It’s led to a remarkable career from a young age and a phenomenal new project earning rave reviews. It’s hard to gauge what’s next for an artist who’s constantly adapting, but in whatever way dance music's Wallflower branches out, he does so full of life.

Another festival could, may, or might, fall victim to the bad weather theme we’ve seen for the past months. It’s a worldwide trend, though an undesirable one. Several music festivals have had their weekends washed down and out by rain lately, From Tomorrowland Brasil, to Ultra Miami, to Movement, and even, memorably so, Burning Man. Weather conditions are, as far as we’re aware, largely out of human control, and so festivals can only receive the news and get ready for the adversity. This weekend, all eyes are on Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland Faces Scorching Temperatures, Then Potential Storm Threat The eagerly awaited first weekend of Tomorrowland might face a weather challenge. Forecasters are predicting high temperatures reaching around 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), with Friday and Saturday offering a brief respite from rain. However, the lack of rain may lead to increased pressure on emergency services. Heatstroke is a very real thing. As the weekend progresses, the conditions will change. A band of potentially severe thunderstorms is forecast to roll across the region overnight from Saturday to Sunday, posing a potential risk to campers at Dreamville. Some weather models hint at the possibility of disruptive storms. Despite this potential threat, organizers remain calm and somewhat confident. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. “We have a dedicated on-site meteorologist who provides ongoing updates on weather conditions“, stated spokesperson Debby Wilmsen. “Comprehensive emergency plans and response scenarios have been established for a variety of situations, encompassing both rain and intense heat. The reality is that the weather is ultimately unpredictable, so our focus is on proactive preparation for any eventuality“. In the past, Tomorrowland used hail cannons to dispel thunderclouds — because rain is the last thing you want with a main stage in a valley. At the time, weatherman Frank Deboosere, among others, dismissed their use as nonsense. “We haven’t had hail cannons for years”, says Wilmsen. “We monitor the weather situation from the Event Control Center (ECC), which monitors safety on the site”. The final day of the first weekend is forecast to be cooler and more changeable, with a chance of showers. Maximum temperatures are still expected to range between 66 and 73 degrees.

For more than a decade, Desert Hearts has amassed a growing following of devoted partygoers who radiate self-expression while embracing the ethos of house, techno and love. Their dedicated fanbase materialized through the years via outlets like their record label, multi-city parties and of course, their flagship Desert Hearts Festival. Desert Hearts Festival.Brian Ngo The multi-day camping experience is the cornerstone event for supporters of the brand. Known as a refuge for the radicals at heart, the festival had been struggling to find its footing in a post-pandemic world. After spending years cultivating memories inside California's Los Coyotes Indian Reservation, event producers succumbed to the state pandemic lockdowns, pivoting to livestreaming sets throughout 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the festival emerged from the pandemic having lost its longtime home, settling down on the shores of Lake Perris instead. The expansive Inland Empire reservoir allowed the Desert Hearts crew to tinker with their once tight-knit blueprint and offered new amenities like swimming, "glamping" and an additional performance stage. As the team geared up for their return to Lake Perris in 2023, festival organizers pulled the plug mere weeks before the event was set to take place. Citing changes in venue requirements and rising production costs due to inflation, the affair (and its full lineup) relocated to the grounds outside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Hoping to return to their roots as a multi-day transformation festival, the crew scoured the landscape eager to find a new home for their event in 2024. However, after a partnership opportunity arose with Walter Productions (Burning Man's Camp Walter, Walter's Where? House, Phoenix), the Desert Hearts crew set their eyes on Arizona for their triumphant return. Artwork at Desert Hearts 2024, Playa Ponderosa.Marlene Sanchez The creative alliance between Walter Productions and Desert Hearts called for the festival to be relocated to the Northern Arizona mountains outside of Flagstaff. Surrounded by Ponderosa Pine trees and miles away from nearby residents, the new locale was ideal for a festival of its kind to thrive—and thrive it did. Throughout the Independence Day holiday weekend, Desert Hearts and Walter Productions produced quite possibly the best Desert Hearts Festival since its days at Los Coyotes. While the infinite clusters of stars illuminated the sky, the spirit of Desert Hearts ignited the mountaintop. From far and wide, attendees of this renegade festival embraced their self-expression as they looked inward for self-discovery. Attendees participate in sound healingJess Gallo/Atlas Media These eccentric beings dazzled throughout the weekend with an array of eclectic fashion, ready for any runway. Sequins, glitter, top hats and all things weird and quirky were the name of the game, straying from normative lifestyles and urging attendees to shine in one's uniqueness.

From art cars to fire dancers and live painters, creativity was the name of the game inside Playa Ponderosa.

The iconic DJ Awards are making a much anticipated and supersized return after a four year hiatus. Designed to recognise and document outstanding talent, innovation, and contributions within the electronic music community, the 2024 edition takes place on October 2nd. A Summer of glittering events will build up to that main event, which began with the unveiling of the rebrand at a launch event on Monday 15th July at Ibiza’s Beachouse. The DJ Awards were founded in 1998 and since then have been recognised as ‘an Oscars for dance music’. Now under new ownership and with substantial investment, the awards are a vital way to celebrate and support global DJ culture and recognise high achievement across the whole sector with high-profile ceremonies that platform the best of the best in several different categories. Many of those categories will return in 2024, alongside new ones that reflect the ongoing evolution of the industry. As such, this year’s awards will be the biggest and best ever with a focus on Ibiza heritage as well as helping to set and recognise high industry standards. Says Jasmine Elias, Head of Awards and Events at DJ Awards, “After a four-year break, I am thrilled to return to the DJ Awards with renewed passion and excitement. With new owners, a fresh vision, and a complete rebrand, we look forward to celebrating the electronic music industry.” New owner Andy Grant adds, “Thanks to the integrity of the founders, who, for 22 years focused only on recognising true excellence in global dance music culture, the DJ Awards remains the only true and valid recognition of the community’s achievements. With this baked into our DNA we are now going to build upon this foundation and create something truly amazing – as important to dance music as the Oscars is to film. I am very proud to play a leading role in the next chapter of the DJ Awards.” A lot has changed in the world, and the music landscape, since the last edition in 2019, not least the advancements of technology, streaming, AI, web3, the way people consume music, DJ superstardom, discussions around diversity, mental health and plenty more. As such these key facets of the industry will be recognised in the new look DJ Awards, with nominees to be announced at a later date.

One of our favorite side projects inside the EDM scene, Jack Back‘s officially, well, back. The side project created by David Guetta returned to none other than Defected Records for the release of a fantastic rework of one of Guetta’s very own tracks. Jack Back enters the competition for Song of the Summer with a terrific new version of ‘Freedom’, a track released as part of the album titled ‘7’. The third release under one of David Guetta’s projects in 2024 is most definitely no joke. A soulful, groove-filled house-rooted track with a simple yet hypnotic groove. The base of the song is complemented by a set of vocals written and performed by one of house music’s most legendary voices, Cece Rogers. Certainly, the recipe for success when in search of the perfect club summer track. When you think David Guetta, you might see yourself at a beach club or some pool party dancing to his music. Now, anytime you’re at a club during the summer, you better be sure you’ll hear some Jack Back. Jack Back Perfectly Demonstrates How To Do A Tasteful Rework Titled ‘Freedom 2024’, this is one tasteful rework. It is hard to run into reworks and remixes that do not sound like a quick copy with minor alterations made just to be able to release something that might cling to the original’s release popularity wave. Or, even worse, reworks of classics that make absolutely no sense and aim to take advantage of the nostalgia factor only. Guetta manages to maintain the essence of the original track while giving it a fresh twist. Always focused on the sounds that take over house music clubs, Jack Back misses rarely. A project that has demonstrated that its owner could easily dominate any genre he chooses too. A lot of people have seemed to forget where David Guetta came from. He hasn’t. And he’s more than ready to dish out some dance music history lessons. Stream ‘Freedom 2024’ by Jack Back & Cece Rogers out now!
