  1. The leading dance music publication, DJ Mag, is shifting from its monthly magazine format to four premium quarterly editions a year starting January 2025. This transition aims to create a more premium and collectible experience for readers. Each quarterly issue will feature three cover stars, ensuring a wide range of artists are celebrated, while adding a collectible element for readers. While subscribers will receive one of the three covers at random, all cover features will be included in each edition. The quarterly magazines will also see an increased page count and higher paper quality, making the magazine more visually appealing and valuable for collectors. DJ Mag’s editor, Carl Loben, expressed his excitement about this new phase of the magazine: “Along with the rest of the team, I’m excited to be bringing DJ Mag into its next phase of evolution. Electronic dance music is a perpetually exciting movement, forever changing, and is now bigger globally than ever. As the flagship publication, this new quarterly edition will allow us to increase focus on the in-depth, discerning, internationally relevant long-form features DJ Mag has specialised in for many years. I can’t wait to get cracking!” -DJ Mag editor, Carl Loben Since its launch in 1991 to cover the emerging UK rave scene, DJ Mag has become a prominent voice in dance music. Originally a fortnightly magazine, then monthly, the latest transition to a quarterly format marks another significant milestone in the magazine’s evolution. The quarterly edition will be available on newsstands at £7.99 per issue, or via a 12-month subscription priced at £27.99, a saving of over £1 per issue. Current subscribers to the monthly edition will receive a two-year complimentary subscription to the quarterly version. The final monthly edition of DJ Mag will be the next one, the November Top 100 DJs issue. The first quarterly magazine will be released in January 2025. You can order copies or purchase a subscription at djmagshop.com. The post DJ Mag Switching From Monthly Editions to Quarterly appeared first on EDMTunes.
  2. Brimming with carefree, uplifting energy, Anabel Englund has released a new single, "Get Busy." The song, out now via Ultra Records, laces Englund's light and airy vocals through an undeniably catchy melody. Embracing a playful and sensual tone, it unapologetically explores the theme of passion with lyrics about "getting busy" on the ground—just about everywhere else. The track also strikes a personal chord for Englund, who revealed that she spent the last six months in a self-reflective "cocoon" after ending several personal and professional relationships. "It was terrifying to say goodbye to people I have had in my life for many years who I still love so much and yet also know it’s time for me to start a new chapter," she said. "When I think about my new beginning a few topics come to mind. Strength in my own company and in knowing who I am, a wonderful juicy sexual awakening, a love for connection and music and stories." Listen to "Get Busy" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

  3. Don Jamal is a multinational character, and his music reflects that. His family is from Jordan, but he spent much of his life in Saudi Arabia. Still, he’s been surrounded by British culture his entire life, having attended a British international school for most of his primary education, and living in the UK where he participated in football camps during his summer breaks. He spent his youth watching every UKF video he could find, but it wasn’t until he moved to Santa Barbara, California, that he started producing music. That was in 2019. Fast forward five years, and he’s played surprise b2b sets with Zeds Dead and Skrillex, performed at some of the most respected festivals across North America (including Infrasound and Lightning in a Bottle), collaborated with Justin Jay, and released tracks on Deep Dark and Dangerous, Deadbeats, and Bassrush. His approach to production is firmly rooted in UK influence, but it extends far beyond any specific genre. From breakbeats to techno to dubstep, he likes it all. In this exclusive interview with UKF, Don Jamal talks about his love for UK music and culture, the aspects of tour life that fans don’t usually see, working with Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats record label, and more. You’ve spent much of 2024 performing all across North America, supporting artists like Zeds Dead and Barclay Crenshaw. As an artist who’s just getting started in the touring world, what’s one thing that surprised you about tour life? Everyone thinks life on the road is a dream. And I mean, in a lot of ways it is. But people don’t realise how much travelling and time it takes behind the scenes; the sleepless nights, the set preps, sound checks, all that stuff. At the end of the day I love it and it’s worth every minute, but I definitely didn’t realise how hard it is to get good sleep when you’re on the road. You’ve also played some of the most beloved festivals in North America, including Lightning in a Bottle and Infrasound. What’s your favourite festival set you’ve played this year? Lightning in a Bottle definitely. I’ve never had a set go by so fast. It’s almost like I don’t even remember playing, because I was having so much fun up there, everything was a blur. Everyone was dancing, and I had my best friends on stage celebrating with me. It was amazing, for real. Do you remember the first time you heard that someone played one of your songs on a big stage? I remember the exact moment – it was Ternion Sound, opening for Zeds Dead at Mission Ballroom on July 4, 2022. That track was the first track I made that I was truly proud of, so I sent it to Andrew from Ternion Sound. He texted me the night of the show and said he might play my track, so I was just standing in the crowd, dancing and hoping they’d drop the tune. When I heard the intro come in, I looked at my friend and we just started freaking out. It was such a sick moment. I was going crazy. Would you say Ternion Sound is a big inspiration for the Don Jamal project? Absolutely. They just play the music they love, regardless of what genre it is. They don’t get stuck in the 140 dubstep sound, which is a genre I love too, but there’s so much more I want to play. I wanna drop UKG, breaks, all sorts of stuff. They’re the same way, and it’s inspiring to watch someone like them do it right. Justin Jay is another artist who seems to embrace a genreless approach to music production. You’ve released a handful of tracks with him at this point, including remix of Levity’s viral track “Flip It” and “Is this a dream?” from Justin’s newest album. How long have you and Justin been making music together? That’s actually a funny story – I’ve known about Justin Jay for a while, because he was DJing in Santa Barbara back when I was living in California before the pandemic, but we never officially met before I moved to Colorado. One day I was hanging out at my friend’s place in Boulder and he walked in with his girlfriend, who’s close with a few of my good friends. I introduced myself and said “Dude, have you ever heard of Justin Jay? You look just like him.” And of course, he’s like… “Yeah, I am Justin Jay.” We started laughing and chopping it up, and we realised we both love the same music. I was DJing that night, and I started dropping some UKG tracks. He came up to me so excited that someone else was playing UKG, and we’ve been homies ever since. I love working with him because his approach to producing is so carefree. There’s no pressure. He doesn’t care what you make. He just wants to have fun and create. Whatever happens, happens – that’s why we make bangers together, because it’s so natural. I was scared to produce with him at first, because I didn’t have a studio and I was kind of embarrassed about my set-up. But he just brought his monitors, put them down on my kitchen table, put on some Apple earphones and started making a beat. He taught me you don’t need anything fancy to make good music. You also played a back-to-back set with Justin on New Year’s Eve in Denver last year with Skrillex and Zeds Dead, right? I was supposed to headline a small afterparty after Skrillex’s Red Rocks show, and I got a text from Justin asking if Skrillex could come. Of course I said yes, and I was like honestly, Skrillex can just take my set. If Skrillex is there he should be playing, not me. But when he showed up, we all just kind of started DJing together. Justin Jay joined, and Zeds Dead showed up. Super Future was there too, it was insane. Speaking of Zeds Dead – earlier this year, you were featured on the ‘We Are Deadbeats Vol. 6’ compilation. What was it like working with the Deadbeats team alongside such an insane roster of artists on the compilation? Most of that process was standard procedure in terms of getting the track to them and working out a release date. But the promo that we did for We Are Deadbeats Vol. 5 was on a whole other level. There was a whole radio-style announcement, and all the artists teased the project together on social media. I had so much fun; promoting it didn’t feel like a chore. It felt inspiring, honestly. You’re making music that feels very inspired by UK artists, and I’m curious to know what your relationship is like with UK bass music. I know you grew up in Saudi Arabia, and from what I understand there’s not much of a bass music scene there… So how did you discover bass music originally? Everything around me was British growing up. Even when I was living in Saudi Arabia, I went to a British international school every day and watched Premier League football all the time. I also went to the UK for soccer summer camps when I was younger. Of course, I was watching UKF YouTube videos all the time too. I used to search “big bass drops” on YouTube and UKF would always come up. I watched every video I could find. So you’ve clearly been a fan of dubstep long before you started producing your own music in 2019. Do you remember the moment when you decided to pursue music as a full-time career? I don’t necessarily know the moment, but I know why. Since I was five years old, I dreamed of being a professional soccer player. Although that never worked out, I knew I loved the feeling of playing in front of a big crowd. When I realised I could get that same feeling from DJing, that’s when it clicked. I’ve heard Shaquille O’Neal say he kind of feels that way as well, which is also why he started DJing. But for a while, I just didn’t think I was good enough to turn it into a career. But when I became more confident, that’s when I started to take it seriously. You’ve lived in tons of different places across the world, but chasing your dream eventually brought you to Colorado. How does Denver’s music scene compare to other cities? It’s so different — Denver is like Disneyland for dubstep. Take Santa Barbara for example. I was living there before I moved to Denver, and there wasn’t much of a bass music scene at all. The scene was very house-focused, but there were a couple people that were pushing bass music. I was a part of that with Ooga and a few other homies. That’s where I learned to produce actually. But when I came to Denver, life was like a whole different world. If you like dubstep, Denver is the best place to be for sure. You recently released the ‘Duelist’ EP on Wubaholics, which is one of my favourite dubstep labels at the moment. Can you talk about the inspiration for the three tracks on this new EP? I love Wubaholics because they’ll put out whatever’s fire. Sure, they’re known for the wonky stuff, but the inspiration for the ‘Duelist’ EP is centred around mixing old-school dubstep with a new-school style, and turning that sound into absolute club bangers. I wanted to create tracks that will have the crowd going wild every time a DJ drops them. This EP doesn’t really tell a story in the three tracks, but it definitely gets the crowd going.
  4. Four Tet has announced a high-profile arena performance at the Kia Forum, bringing his deeply influential sound to Inglewood for an open-to-close set. The masterful electronic music producer is set to take the helm at the Inglewood-based arena on February 22nd, 2025.

  6. Patrick Harboun and his son are no strangers to pushing LEGO's creative boundaries. After winning the grand prize of a worldwide competition in 2020 with their meticulously designed Daft Punk LEGO recreation, they now have their sights set on getting it officially released. And they need the support of the robots' fans and LEGO enthusiasts alike to make it happen. Patrick Harboun The father-son duo's original entry was built during the height of the pandemic lockdown, a time when many turned to creative outlets for solace. Sharing their mutual love for Daft Punk's timeless music, they crafted a stunning replica of the duo's iconic pyramid stage from their "Alive 2007" tour. Despite winning first place, the stunning set never saw commercial production. However, the Harbouns are going for greatness one more time after becoming re-inspired by Daft Punk's cameo in Pharrell's upcoming LEGO animation film Piece By Piece, Patrick tells EDM.com. Patrick Harboun Their new design is live on the LEGO Ideas platform, where projects can garner fan votes for a chance to become official sets. If successful by voter demand, it will celebrate Daft Punk's enduring legacy in both music and pop culture. The father-son team is hoping that Daft Punk devotees and LEGO lovers will come together to cast their votes and turn this dream into a reality. You can show your support by voting for the project here.
  7. In just a few years, Kasablanca have proven they have a lot to say—and they’re not done yet. The duo's debut album, Higher Resolution, to be released in two parts, is an intimate and deeply layered expression of their journey, both personal and musical. After a few years of explosive success, the duo is still maintaining their place as one of electronic music’s most compelling acts of the moment. The album is an exploration of resilience, personal battles, rebirth and the drive to keep moving forward. Its titular track is a rhythmic tone-setter with vocoder-laced lyrics cutting through the atmosphere, as if echoing from a distant future. Much of the album's first chapter similarly delivers a sense of euphoria that feels almost cinematic in scale, like "Remission," their triumphant collaboration with Lane 8. Released just days before Micky of Kasablanca was declared cancer-free, the song feels prophetic, as if it were always meant to accompany the moment when hope turned into reality. "Terminal Feeling" delves into the more introspective side of their story. Paired with ethereal, almost ghostly vocals, its haunting techno rhythms give the track an air of tension—an audible reflection of the fear and uncertainty that comes with battling illness. Yet, even in its darker moments, there’s a glimmer of defiance as the duo turns personal adversity into cathartic release. The result is a hypnotic dancefloor anthem brimming with raw, unfiltered energy. Elsewhere, tracks like "Dawn" see Kasablanca offering new stylistic production choices with frenetic percussion while crooning vocals soar through the mix, steeped in reverb. The blend of breakbeat rhythms and futuristic soundscapes captures a feeling of nostalgia and forward motion all at once, marking another standout moment on the album. A debut album release is always a milestone in an artist's career, but Higher Resolution (Side A) is a decisive reflection of their growth and evolution as artists and as people thus far. You can listen to the album below and catch Kasablanca on tour now.

  9. Who knew DJ Snake had a dark side? Last month, Excision gathered some of the biggest names in dubstep and bass music for the dazzling 2024 edition of Lost Lands. While its lineups have evolved each year, last month's festival featured the most musically diverse lineup in its history, offering fans many more options outside the bass umbrella. Before the French superstar took the stage, he teased a new alias set to perform amongst the dinosaurs, The OUTLAW. The posts were cryptic, but he said that Excision had told him to go as hard as he wanted with no rules. The result was a stunning performance filled with ruthless dubstep, dark techno and even some surprising tearout that left attendees buzzing all weekend. For those who couldn't witness The OUTLAW's debut in person, Snake has shared the full hourlong performance on his SoundCloud. Fans can hear every bit of the set from the intro to the finale as Snake proved why an EDM headliner can fit right in at the world's biggest bass festival. Listen to The OUTLAW's full Lost Lands 2024 performance below. The set is also available as a free download here. View the original article to see embedded media.

  10. Alexandra Richards, daughter of rock legend Keith Richards and supermodel Patti Hansen, has made her long-awaited debut with the single “Feel You,” a captivating slice of deep melodic house that effortlessly merges Afro-house vibes with contemporary dance sensibilities. Growing up in an artistic household undoubtedly shaped Alexandra’s creative vision. With a father who helped define rock ‘n’ roll and a mother who graced the covers of fashion magazines, it’s no surprise that she found herself drawn to the worlds of music and fashion from an early age. After learning the ropes of DJing from friends around New York City, she quickly established herself within the city’s club scene, curating sounds for high-profile events across the globe. This experience shines through in “Feel You,” as she skillfully crafts a sound inspired by global clubs that feels both fresh and familiar. From the very first notes, “Feel You” envelops listeners in a warm, swoony atmosphere. The production is polished yet organic, letting the track to breathe while holding strong to a persistent groove. Collaborating with the celebrated dance music duo JAIKO, known for their distinctive blend of male and female vocals, Alexandra creates a dynamic interplay between the two and her production. The voices intertwine beautifully, exploring the deep feelings that come with close connections—where personal space blurs into intimacy, and the struggle to stay grounded becomes too much to bear.

  12. Is this the spiritual successor to ‘Shiver’? John Summit is not holding back. One of the most influential acts of EDM over the last 20 months, turned to social media to tease a special song he’s working on. He turned to Twitter to comment, “currently writing what i think will be next years anthem“, alongside a short video which teases said song. Watch below. i’ll never let u gooo.. https://t.co/m8CHnQdisJ pic.twitter.com/WlK1UYHuHX — John Summit (@johnsummit) October 7, 2024 The song, currently under the placeholder name ‘Ritual‘ as can be seen from the video, features an engulfing atmosphere with a somewhat Reese-ey bassline, and a warm female vocal, which seems to go just right down Summit’s alley. If we’ve been able to notice a pattern in his productions lately is just how much his recent craft is meant for a vocal topline as opposed to, say, his earlier Repopulate Mars stuff. And this one surely delivers. The track seems to be in that style of very melodic and singalong-worthy Tech House he’s been pioneering for a while. After the rousing success of tracks like ‘Where You Are’ and ‘Shiver’, it’s only fair for the Forbes 30 Under 30 to write yet another chapter of his story with a formula that has assured fruition. We’re yet to see where this new demo goes, and when — potentially, and when — he’ll premiere it, but for now, we can just wait… impatiently.

  13. Renowned Melodic Techno acts Colyn and Innellea are set to embark on a highly anticipated back-to-back tour. This development is set to mark a new chapter in their ongoing collaborative journey. Following unforgettable performances in locations like Tulum and Burning Man, as well as their acclaimed joint effort on ‘Downfall‘ from Innellea’s 2024 LP, The Belonging, the duo has officially set the stage to deliver their musical synergy to fans worldwide. The series of exclusive shows kicks off at Amsterdam Dance Event with an intimate pop-up show at ABOUTLIFESTYLE/Salon d’Homme. It would transform the men’s boutique into a swanky impromptu nightclub. The highly-anticipated performance is guest list only with free entry. With spots limited, fans are encouraged to secure their spot as soon as possible. The Colyn Wave: One of Amsterdam’s own, Colyn has been riding an unprecedented wave of sonic momentum this year. This is courtesy of both his mesmerizing sets and knockout releases. Fresh off jaw-dropping shows at Burning Man and in Ibiza, Colyn continues to captivate global audiences with his introspective and rhythmic sound. Colyn’s latest rework of Vintage Culture’s ‘Chemicals‘ landed alongside Innellea’s take on ‘Promised Land‘ on the Brazilian producer’s new remix album. This together set a new agenda for Melodic Techno worldwide. Colyn is also cultivating buzz with his upcoming collaboration alongside Argentine superstar Nicki Nicole. Although unreleased, the track is not only making the rounds online, but coincides with his duo of shows in Argentina alongside Adriatique. It also celebrated the stop at the Brooklyn Mirage in NYC just last month. The Innellea Approach: With Colyn now joining musical forces with Germany’s Innellea, the two Melodic Techno titans are poised to turn the scene inside out. Innellea’s approach to music is one of reinvention. It crafts melancholic yet cinematic soundscapes that serve as both a mirror and a window. It reflects internal states while opening doors to new perspectives. His full-length album from earlier this year, The Belonging, put him at the forefront of the genre. It also showcased an act that is arguably at its best when playing with others. This is further emphasized by his next collaborative release with Colyn, the much anticipated and musically liberating ‘Set Me Free‘. Now elevating their shared musical vision with a series of exclusive shows, Colyn and Innellea’s upcoming tour promises to raise the bar for Melodic Techno at large. Fans can expect dates and locations to be announced in the coming months. The ADE kickoff at ABOUTLIFESTYLE/Salon d’Homme sets the stage with a fusion of intimacy, exclusivity, and electricity. Fans are encouraged to secure their spots promptly for this guest-list-only event, as it’s poised to be one of the most talked-about performances of this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event. Interested patrons can register here. The post Colyn & Innellea Unite For Exclusive Back-to-Back Tour At ADE appeared first on EDMTunes.

  16. As the year draws to a close, music fans are eagerly anticipating the announcement of the Coachella 2025 lineup. While industry insiders are speculating about potential headliners, the exact lineup remains a mystery. That said, rumors have arisen that Fred again.. will be not only a lock, but a headliner of the festival. According to the outlet HITS Daily Double, the young sensation would be among the first on Coachella’s flyer next year. However, the rest of the top-tier acts are still up in the air. There are speculations that a country music star with pop appeal, such as Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, or Post Malone, might be included in the lineup. Another question mark is who will fill the sub-headliner special guest spot that was occupied by No Doubt last year and Calvin Harris the year before. While Fred again.. is a strong contender, it’s possible he could even be a headliner this year. Two notable artists who will not be headlining Coachella in 2025 are Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar. Both artists have declined the opportunity, citing other commitments — Lamar gearing up for the Super Bowl, and Rihanna not needing the slot at the festival due to how big of an artist and entrepreneur she has become.

  22. Eleven years ago, on October 28, 2013, Avicii released ‘Hey Brother’, the third single from his groundbreaking debut album ‘True’. Blending folk, bluegrass, and electronic dance music, ‘Hey Brother’ became an instant classic, captivating listeners around the world. Co-written by Avicii, Ash Pournouri, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Veronica Maggio, the track soared to the top of the charts in numerous countries, including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Sweden, and the UK. What set ‘Hey Brother’ apart was its unique combination of genres, pairing an emotional, country-inspired melody with Avicii‘s signature electronic beats. The song’s powerful vocals, delivered by bluegrass singer Dan Tyminski, and its heartfelt lyrics touched millions of fans globally, further solidifying Avicii‘s reputation as a musical innovator.

  25. As the music industry continues to evolve, the road to success for independent artists seems to be getting even steeper. A new report published by Right Chord Music and Musosoup, "The Musician's Census 2024," highlights a series of hurdles that make navigating the path of an independent musician more difficult than ever. The Musician's Census is one of the most in-depth surveys of grassroots musicians. The global study gathered responses from 300 independent artists across 64 countries, and the trends that emerge paint a stark picture of an industry where getting paid, being heard and building a fanbase are becoming monumental tasks for musicians trying to stay financially afloat. One of the most alarming revelations of the data centers on payment. Nearly two-thirds of respondents admitted they aren't fully aware if they are receiving the full extent of what they are owed, nor are they certain they aren't. It’s a baffling reality that leaves musicians questioning how they can sustain their careers when financial transparency is often elusive. Another overwhelming challenge, the report suggests, is the sheer difficulty of gaining exposure. A staggering 54% of musicians said getting their music heard is their biggest hurdle. Market over-saturation was cited as a one major factor, with the constant flood of new releases making it nearly impossible to stand out along with the proliferation of AI-generated music. Ultimately, 68% of respondents agreed that the path of an independent musician is "tougher than ever," underscoring the mounting obstacles in the bedrock of today’s music industry.
