The global social media giant TikTok has announced that it is shutting down its separate music app, TikTok Music. The origins of TikTok Music go back to the summer of 2022 when the social media platform had plans to launch its own music streaming app and it had Chinese internet tech company, ByteDance, developing it. ByteDance had already developed an app called Resso, which already launched in India in early 2020, and Resso later changed to TikTok Music in the summer of 2023. TikTok Music shortly got a ban in India but it still launched in Brazil and Indonesia, and had already expanded into Australia, Mexico, and Singapore as the app invited users in those three countries to participate in a closed beta test. Fast forward to today, TikTok Music announced on its official website that the app will close on November 28th, and they recommended users to transfer their playlists by October 28th (especially to various streaming services such as Spotify and SoundCloud) and request refunds by the expected date the app will close by. When November 28th arrives, everyone’s TikTok Music account information and personal data will receive an automatic deletion. Ole Obermann, ByteDance Global Head of Music Business Development, Addresses the TikTok Music App Shut Down in Press Statement “Our ‘Add to Music’ App feature has already enabled hundreds of millions of track saves to playlists on partner music streaming services. We will be closing TikTok Music at the end of November in order to focus on our goal of furthering TikTok’s role in driving even greater music listening and value on music streaming services, for the benefit of artists, songwriters, and the industry”.

Printworks is one of London’s most famous superclubs, as well as one of the world’s must-visit dance/electronic music venues. According to an article from DJ Mag, Printworks just received approval for its planning application that property developers British Land and AustralianSuper submitted earlier this year so that it can redevelop itself into a permanent venue for “cultural use”. The last time Printworks hosted events was back in Spring 2023, particularly when it hosted its farewell event on May 1st of last year, which featured the likes of Bicep, Peggy Gou, Dixon, and DJ Koze as some of the headliners there. The initial plan the property developers had was to restructure the 53-acre Surrey Quays site where Printworks placed itself and rebuild it with luxury flats, shops, offices, and restaurants. Fast forward to the present day, Printworks looks like it will make a phenomenal and unforgettable return as a result of this planning approval. Amongst the names that could not contain its excitement for the Printworks planning approval for redevelopment is the Night Time Industries Association and shown below is a statement from its CEO, Michael Kill. Furthermore, click on this link to read the Planning Consent Application Summary for the London super-club. Image Courtesy: Printworks London Michael Kill, CEO of Night Time Industries Association, Addresses The Printworks Planning Approval “We are extremely pleased to hear the news that Printworks officially received planning consent for redevelopment on Tuesday night“, Kill says. “This is an extremely positive moment for London’s nightlife and the entire cultural ecosystem of the city. Printworks has long stood as a beacon of creativity and innovation, not just in the UK but globally“. The CEO also expressed his gratitude towards the Electronic scene and competent authorities, and revealed plans to get the venue back up and running as soon as possible: “The approval is a testament to the incredible support from the local authorities, community, the music industry, key stakeholders and the dedicated team behind Printworks. With full steam ahead on these exciting plans, we are one step closer to seeing the venue reopen its doors, bringing back the energy, passion, and world-class experiences that made it such an iconic space“. “This news couldn’t come at a better time as we continue to champion the importance of venues like Printworks in shaping the future of our industry.” -Michael Kill *Featured Cover Photo Credit: Printworks / Luke Dyson The post Iconic Venue Printworks Is Coming Back To Life appeared first on EDMTunes.

Following the release of his Rouge ou Noir EP, Parisian house music maestro and Apollonia champion Dan Ghenacia shares a brand new music video for his EP’s title track directed by Australian talent Lucy Dyson. Described by Billboard as “a spacey, synthy, sexy and simply funky swirl,” Dan Ghenacia’s “Rouge ou Noir” enters a new dimension with this brand new, animated video, which dives into the playful soundscape. The animated video draws inspiration from the circular imagery of the EP’s artwork, weaving the main protagonist in and out of hypnotic scenes as he pursues a mysterious love interest from casino roulette tables to the dancefloor and ending in an eventual happily-ever-after. “It was important to me that the collage style animation had a lot of texture,” said director Lucy Dyson, who has previously worked with artists like Paul McCartney and Beyonce. “Frames were printed out and then re-shot to give a particular texture I couldn’t get digitally, and we mixed up the mediums used by also incorporating rotoscoped video footage to really push the surreal dream-trip experience. Taking the roulette wheel as my main visual cue, I created a surreal trip through a casino in a playful cat-and-mouse pursuit of love! This idea lends itself nicely to a tropical Ibiza-tinged psychedelic James Bond-esque licensed-to-love narrative.” Ghenacia’s knowledge of house music, which he’s accumulated over the last 25-plus years DJing, hosting essential parties, and running vital labels, is crystal clear on his fantastic new Rouge ou Noir EP. “Everything unfolded at a dizzying pace,” says Dan Ghenacia on creating the new EP. “Five days in a dream studio in Los Angeles led to Rouge ou Noir, a surreal and psychedelic experience with funky vibes. StrataSonic, this young label, is showing boundless creativity with its team to maximize the release’s impact.” ABOUT STRATASONIC Nestled in a private enclave in Los Angeles, StrataSonic’s home is the state-of-the-art recording studios helmed by the label’s in-house producers and has become the music industry’s best-kept secret. With an unparalleled collection of vintage gear and deep technology, this sonic sanctuary serves as a platform for both emerging and seasoned artists. The team behind StrataSonic consists of an international group of music veterans with deep roots in Los Angeles to serve as a sanctuary for artists within the broader electronic music landscape. Founder of BPM Festival, Craig Pettigrew, will lead as the label’s CEO, with producer/DJs Maher Daniel and Matt Tolfrey spearheading the Label Manager position. Mack Sennett Studios and Original Creative Agency owner Jesse Rogg has taken the role of the label’s Creative Director, with Matt Ossentjuk of Gari Safari working alongside Rogg as the Associate Creative Director.

In a groundbreaking collaboration that bridges the gap between traditional African rhythms and contemporary electronic soundscapes, Zimbabwean DJ/producer duo TAPIWA & Simbai, collectively known as Sebenza Soundsystem, have unveiled their latest masterpiece: a pulsating afro-house remix of Novuyo Seagirl’s powerful anthem, “Imbokodo.” The original track, a raw and emotive ode to the resilience of women, takes on new life under Sebenza Soundsystem’s expert touch. Their remix transforms “Imbokodo” into a club-ready banger that doesn’t sacrifice an ounce of its original potency. The Shona word “Sebenza,” meaning “to work,” aptly describes the duo’s approach to this remix – a meticulous labor of love that elevates Seagirl’s message to new heights. TAPIWA & Simbai’s production prowess shines through in every beat. They’ve crafted a sonic landscape that seamlessly blends the earthy tones of traditional African instrumentation with the sleek, polished edges of modern house music. The result is a track that feels both timeless and cutting-edge, rooted in cultural heritage yet unafraid to push boundaries. At its core, “Imbokodo” – which takes its name from the Zulu phrase “Wathint’ abafazi, wathint’ imbokodo” (You strike a woman, you strike a rock) – is a celebration of women who have long been overlooked by society. The remix amplifies this message, turning it into a rallying cry for dancefloors across the continent and beyond. The duo’s interpretation adds layers of urgency and excitement to Seagirl’s powerful vocals, creating an irresistible call to action that demands listeners both move their feet and open their minds. By infusing afro-house elements into Seagirl’s powerful narrative, TAPIWA & Simbai have created a bridge between generations, between tradition and modernity. They’ve taken a song about the struggles and successes of women and transformed it into a unifying anthem that resonates across gender lines and national borders. “Imbokodo” in their hands becomes not just a celebration of women’s strength, but a testament to the power of music to inspire, unite, and ignite change.

In their latest single “Modern Tragedy,” Cheat Codes taps into the zeitgeist of millennial dating woes, delivering a radio-ready EDM-pop confection that follows a tried and true formula to sink in its catchy hooks. Featuring vocals from Julia Church, the track attempts to elevate standard club fare with a veneer of emotional depth, but ultimately falls short of true innovation. The Los Angeles trio’s production is characteristically slick, building from a pulsing bassline to a predictable crescendo of driving percussion and swirling synths. Church’s vocals drive the songs appeal, infusing the lyrics with a hint of authentic emotion. Lines like “So here we go again / A night to feel alone” capture the ennui of modern romance and the all to common experience of getting ghosted. “Modern Tragedy” arrives as yet another entry in the market of songs dissecting modern dating culture. A dance pop single that will resonate with listeners seeking catharsis for their romantic frustrations. Cheat Codes continues to demonstrate their ability to craft radio-friendly hits, and “Modern Tragedy” suggests they know what they’re doing — and they do it well.

In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, Circuit Faker emerges as a curious anomaly with his latest single “We Grow Too Slow.” Circuit Faker’s approach to electronic music is decidedly minimalist, eschewing the bombastic drops and frenetic energy often associated with the genre. Instead, “We Grow Too Slow” unfolds at a glacial pace, mirroring its thematic content with a soundscape that feels both expansive and claustrophobic. The track opens with a pulsing synth line that evokes the steady tick of a clock, immediately setting the tone for the temporal exploration to come. Layers of ambient textures gradually build, creating a rich tapestry of sound that seems to stretch and warp as the song progresses. The track’s willingness to embrace discomfort and challenge listeners’ expectations is commendable, even if the execution occasionally verges on self-indulgent. For those who appreciate electronic music that prioritizes atmosphere and concept over danceability, Circuit Faker’s latest offering is certainly worth a listen. “We Grow Too Slow” may not be a main stage banger — but it’s a thought-provoking piece that lingers in the mind long after the final notes fade away. The post Circuit Faker release pensive, ambient single ‘We Grow Too Slow’ appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

In an era where genre-bending is less an exception and more a prerequisite for relevance, Crumb Pit emerges as a transatlantic harbinger of sonic fusion. Their latest offering, “Undercover,” is a meticulously crafted exercise in cultural osmosis, blending the gritty lyricism of British street poetry with the pulsating urgency of the American EDM landscape. The LA/London duo’s fourth single in as many months, “Undercover” is a paradoxical revelation—a track that simultaneously exposes and obfuscates. It’s a clever play on words from a pair whose ascent has been anything but covert. Their sound—a chimera of The Streets’ verbose urbanity and Dizzee Rascal’s frenetic energy—is wrapped in a sheen of drum & bass that feels both nostalgic and startlingly contemporary. Space Yacht Records, ever the electronic tastemakers, recognized Crumb Pit’s potential early on, featuring their initial salvos “WGDC” and “Country Club” in their Tune Reactor compilations. This co-sign precipitated a string of performances that read like a who’s who of LA’s electronic haunts—The Roxy, Sound Nightclub, and Space Yacht’s own weekly sonic séances. But it’s with “Undercover” that Crumb Pit truly flexes their production muscle. The track is a tastemaker-pop confection that defies easy categorization. It’s drum & bass, yes, but it’s also a treatise on the voyeuristic nature of party culture, viewed through a fisheye lens of distorted beats and crystalline production. The vocals float above the fray, at once part of the maelstrom and coolly detached from it. In lesser hands, such a concoction might collapse under its own ambition. But Crumb Pit navigates these waters with the confidence of seasoned mariners, charting a course between innovation and accessibility that few of their peers can match. With “Undercover,” they’ve crafted a potential hit that doesn’t just nod to the zeitgeist—it helps define it. In doing so, they may have inadvertently blown their own cover. Anonymity, it seems, is a luxury they can no longer afford. The post Crumb Pit drops genre-hopping smash ‘Undercover’ appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

Written by veteran journalist Shawn Reynaldo, First Floor is a weekly newsletter that focuses on electronic music, along with the culture and industry that surround it. Over the course of just a few years, it’s become one of electronic music’s most influential platforms, routinely putting many of the genre’s thorniest issues under the microscope while reckoning with changes in the culture during a time of profound transformation. A collection of Reynaldo’s most thought-provoking essays, First Floor Volume 1 provides a nuanced, wide-ranging look at contemporary electronic music culture, with a particular focus on systemic issues that often go undiscussed. Topics covered included the evolving nature of electronic music fandom and artistry, value shifts brought on by the current changing of the generational guard, the shortcomings of the modern music press and the growing gap between electronic music’s foundational rhetoric and the genre’s present-day norms. Incorporating both pieces originally published in the newsletter (all of which have been updated) and exclusive new material from Reynaldo himself, the book also features a foreword by veteran artist and 3024 label founder Martyn.

Earlier this month Rockwell released ‘LOW ART [Remixes]’ on Obsolete Medium. In honour of this, we asked the man himself to select his favourite remixes. Disclaimer: he told us it was very very hard to pick just ten! Visages – Lunar Eclipse ft. Strategy [Alix Perez Remix] I was a big fan of the original, and played it every set until I got my hands on the remix! The remix smoothed out the arrangement and made the drop section really exciting – leaving that silence with the vocal really accentuated the urgency of the track when the drums come back in! Klinical – Around Me [Workforce Remix] Another track where subtle touches to the arrangement, really help to give it impact on the dancefloor. A crunchy relick where the staccato rhythmic pattern causes carnage without resorting to cheap and distasteful gimmicks! Konflict – Messiah [Noisia Remix] I’m a big fan of this period of drum and bass where the darker side of things was starting to go to the next level, and artists like Noisia and Phace were really pushing production standards and sound design. I don’t really feel like they added much in terms of new content to the remix, and I think sometimes when you are dealing with such revered source material, its best to not change it too much and be faithful to the original. Using the high pass filter to heighten anticipation for the drop and all of the signature Noisia edits and touches brought it bang up-to-date, and when it strips back to just the beats and the bass, I just can’t get enough of it! Kings of the Rollers – Shella ft. Chimpo [Halogenix Remix] Everything about this is super crunchy and grungy. A super tasteful minimal jump up-ish remix, which really complimented the hugely underrated Chimpos’ playful wordplay. Phace & Noisia – Micro Organism [Buunshin Remix] I really love the original, which takes me back to an interesting time in drum and bass where everyone reigned in the loudness and aggression, and was making super minimal tracks. I like the way Buunshin kept the vibe of the original in the intro, but segued into contrasting contemporary territory with lots of white noise and crunch – crazy, but tasteful! Absolute Zero & Subphonics – The Code [SKC Remix] I mean, this is just lashing isn’t it. Future Cut – 20/20 [Future Cut Remix] One of my favourite drum and bass tracks ever – perfectly moody, interesting turnarounds, sci-fi FX – what’s not to love? Also, remixing yourself is quite an interesting proposition… Wots My Code – Dubplate [Total Science Remix] Again, one of my favourite drum and bass tracks ever, and probably the track that really pulled me into loving the genre as much as I do. The arrangement is perfect, and the drums have a really interesting texture and pace to them. Total Science actually sent me the stems to this years ago but the couple of times I’ve actually tried to have a look at it, nothing has even come close to this. Moving Fusion – Atlantis [Bad Company Remix] I think the arrangement is what gets me on this one – it just builds and builds and builds, in contrast to most, especially contemporary tracks, where all of the attention is on the drop. It conjures imagery of landing on a spaceship on a distant planet. I would remove that horn stab though! Culture Shock – There for You [Breakage Remix] One of the things that I’ve really liked about Breakage’s production over the years is his really tasteful yet sparse integration of musicality – it was all over his dubstep and it was really nice to see creep back in again with this remix for Culture Shock. The drums are very naughty as well – as you would expect from a Breakage production! Rockwell’s next EP ‘LOW ART [Remixes]’ on Obsolete Medium is out now.

After a successful edition last year, the Martin Garrix Amsterdam RAI show won’t happen this year, in 2024, the artist announced via Twitter. Nonetheless, Martin Garrix confirmed that he would play at the Amsterdam Music Festival on the 19th and at the STMPD label night on the 17th during ADE. Martin Garrix’s ADE show at Amsterdam RAI got global attention in 2018 when the massive show production was recorded in full an put on YouTube. The almost 2-hour show now sits at 3 million streams on YouTube. The following year, in 2019, he brought his biggest show to date. The Ether showed Martin Garrix delivering what, at the time, was one of the most technologically advanced shows in the dance music industry. Then, Covid-19 happened and the show was paused until last year. In 2023, Martin Garrix presented the next evolution of his RAI show called IDEM. The show was another massive success. Besides being one of the most awaited shows during the Amsterdam Dance Event, Martin Garrix RAI’s performance was also one of the few under-18 events you can find during ADE. Besides the main event on Saturday night, Martin Garrix always planned an all-age event the day before in the late afternoon-early evening, letting underage people experience the party. This year, nothing of all of this will return. Will Martin Garrix at Amsterdam RAI happen at ADE 2024? Unfortunately no, Martin Garrix announced no Amsterdam RAI in 2024. With a post on X (formerly Twitter), Martin Garrix confirmed that it won’t be the Amsterdam RAI show during ADE 2024. Martin Garrix will play at the Amsterdam Dance Event 2024. As every year, his label, STMPD, will host the annual showcase on the 17th of October at the AFAS Live. Two days later, Martin Garrix will headline the biggest event during ADE, the Amsterdam Music Festival at the John Cruff Arena. If you were looking to attend Martin Garrix’s Amsterdam RAI show, you must wait until ADE 2025. got a lot of questions if the RAI show is happening this year during ADE. It’s not, but I can't wait to play @_AMFofficial on October 19th and the @stmpdrcrds Label Night October 17th!! — MARTIN GARRIX (@MartinGarrix) September 25, 2024 The post Martin Garrix confirms no ADE RAI show in 2024 appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

Ross Mintzer may not be a household name in the mainstream, but within the ever-evolving landscape of electronic dance music, he’s carving out a unique niche. Known for his ability to seamlessly merge live instrumentation with digital production, Mintzer’s genre-defying sound is quickly earning him a dedicated following. His music takes inspiration from an eclectic array of influences, blending electronic beats with elements of world music, folk, and even rock, creating a sound that’s distinctly his own. Born and raised in New York, Mintzer’s early musical career was heavily influenced by his jazz saxophonist uncle, Bob Mintzer. His background in traditional jazz helped shape his approach to music, giving him the tools to experiment with complex melodies and rhythms that go beyond standard electronic dance music fare. As Mintzer transitioned into electronic music, he didn’t leave those influences behind; instead, he fused them with modern production techniques, creating an unmistakable hybrid style. Tracks like “Victory” and “World Goes Round” showcase this unique blend of live instrumentation and digital production. In “Victory,” for example, Mintzer’s signature saxophone melodies glide over deep electronic beats, giving the track a richness and texture not commonly found in electronic music. The song “Lucid,” one of his most recent releases in 2023, further highlights his ability to create atmospheric soundscapes, combining melodic synths with intricate electronic rhythms. This balance between organic and electronic sounds is what sets Mintzer apart from many of his contemporaries in the dance scene. Mintzer’s live performances are another area where he stands out. Unlike many electronic artists who rely solely on pre-recorded tracks and DJ sets, Mintzer brings live elements into his performances. Saxophone solos, live percussion, and on-the-fly production tweaks create a more dynamic and immersive experience for his audience. This approach to live performance is rare in the EDM world, where laptop-based sets often dominate the stage. “I don’t just want people to hear the music, I want them to feel it,” Mintzer said in a recent interview. “I want my live shows to be an experience where the audience is fully immersed in the sound, the visuals, and the energy.” It’s this dedication to creating an engaging, multi-sensory experience that makes Mintzer’s shows unmissable for fans of both electronic and live music. As he prepares for his upcoming performance at Eau Claire’s Pablo Center on November 22, 2024, Mintzer continues to push the boundaries of what EDM can be. Supporting acts DOKTOR and NOLEPHANT will join him, adding their own brand of high-energy performances to the evening. The show promises to be a unique blend of genres, with visuals designed to enhance every moment of the performance. “This show is about connection,” Mintzer says. “I want the audience to leave feeling empowered, inspired, and part of something bigger.” To catch Ross Mintzer live, tickets are available for his upcoming show at the Pablo Center online.

Listen to a beautiful track we recently came across. We’re happy to welcome back an artist we’ve featured a number of times on our site. Even if you don’t recall his name at first, you surely have heard his music, at ASOT1000 for instance, or the Group Therapy radioshow, or Andrew Rayel’s sets. He’s all over the world, and his name is Loreno Mayer. Loreno Mayer From Croatia to the world, Loreno Mayer has truly left a mark on the Dance scene during his years involved in the industry. His tracks have been supported by top DJs and featured at major festivals. Proper singles of his took off in quite an impressive way, namely, ‘GIANTS’ being supported all over the world, and more recently ‘Who You Are’ trending on 1001Tracklists reaching the Top 10 on overall tracks. Having worked with a variety of artists such as Paul Arcane and Quizzow, and also releasing a handful of solo singles on labels such as Revealed, AVA, and Nanostate, he’s more than well on his way to becoming one of the leading forces of the Dance industry in the near future, that’s for sure. ‘A Little More Love’ A release signed on BODYWRMR, label belonging to former Dash Berlin icon Jeffrey Sutorius, Mayer’s latest single is called ‘A Little More Love’, and even though the title has the word “little” in it, the story of how the track came to be is huge. In conversations with us, he told us the piece was first ideated in the middle of Lockdown, in 2020. By far the longest time Loreno spent on this track was switching between vocalists, as three voices had a go at it. The first one to vocalise this tune was Brandon Mignacca, from the Rock band Chair Warriors. When he received the vocals, Mayer immediately imagined a different track. So that vocal line gave birth to an entirely new track which is now the successful ‘Lose It All’. After that, he turned to Alessa for vocals and Robbie Rosen as a writer. The idea was so good, Loreno once again crafted an entirely new idea with those vocals, which became ‘Without Your Love’. He finally got approached by Joe Taylor, who’s worked with stars like Tiësto and Kygo, and he too had a go. The rest is history. The track was finally finished, and you can hear the result right now. The finished track is a blast from the past, a spot-on moment of nostalgia for those decade-old Progressive House sounds we all know and love. “Now I can say it was all worth it. From one track to creating three different ones, in different genres of EDM, which were all pretty successful. It shows us that creating music is never boring and that you never know what can inspire you to create more music.” -Loreno Mayer Listen to Loreno Mayer‘s incredible new ‘A Little More Love’, by hitting the ‘Play‘ button on the Spotify player below.

Seven years since Pretty Lights released new original music, the drought is over. Pretty Lights, who returned to the stage last summer after a half-decade hiatus, recently announced a pair of rare Vegas arena concerts taking place in late-October. The iconic electronic music producer has now revealed details, but there's much more than meets the eye—and ear. Pretty Lights today shared a trailer on YouTube to tease the shows, which are billed as "3033: Ancient Future" and "1996: Rave Origins." Hidden in plain sight, however, in the video's description is a cryptic easter egg: "to unlock a doorway find the eyecon." Naturally, the first place to look was Pretty Lights' website. After scrolling down to the bottom, a strange ocular icon appears in alignment with his social media favicons. Clicking it triggers a password-protected website containing the following message: Time is not a boundary, but an extension of your journey. It unfolds like a path, and within each moment lies a key to open new doors. If you step through them, and look closely you’ll find that the answers you seek are already there, waiting to be discovered. Entering the password, "secret," enables access to the site, at which point another message appears: well done, fellow voyager. this is for you to enjoy, and to share with the community how you see fit. help write this next chapter we are embarking on together. And just like that, voilà: a new Pretty Lights EP featuring five brand-new tracks. Titled Dual Fusion Unity, the record is playable only on the decoded site via a retro, dotcom-era Winamp media player and is not yet available on streaming platforms. Awash in warm analog synths and textured production, the music is vintage Pretty Lights, a kaleidoscopic fusion of electro-soul, funk and bass music. It's a breathtaking EP that pours gasoline on the hype surrounding the "multi-sensory" shows in Vegas over Halloween Weekend. Taking over the illustrious MGM Grand Garden Arena from October 25-26, Pretty Lights will take the same stage commanded by The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and countless other music icons. Prior to last year's momentous comeback, he had remained out of the public eye since the summer of 2018, when he performed for a sold-out crowd at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The shows are part of Pretty Lights' "Soundship Spacesystem 2024 Check Your Vector Tour." Fans can purchase tickets here.

You’ll surprise yourself singing “in my mind, in my mind” later today, trust us. We’ve got great news to share. DJ and producer longstoryshort continues his impressive run of productions with the release of his new Bass House tune, ‘In My Mind‘. This brand-new track offers a deep dive into the artist’s psyche, exploring themes of escapism and self-reflection. Since launching his journey with ‘Back to the Start’ in 2019, longstoryshort has forged a path that defies expectations, delivering EPs, singles, and remixes that have all caught the attention of industry powerhouses such as ODESZA, Dillon Francis, Tchami, and others. His seal of quality is an effortless excellence at weaving immersive narratives through his music while blending Cinematic Bass, Hip-Hop, and House. ‘In My Mind’ The track opens with haunting vocal echoes, immediately setting a captivating atmosphere. The driving bassline and meticulously crafted synths create a powerful and energetic soundscape that is both powerful (as it should for the larger festivals) and also very reflective, in particular referring to the pads and evolving textures that evoke a sense of mystery. Beyond its infectious energy, “IN MY MIND” offers a deeper layer of meaning. As longstoryshort explains, the track “is about escapism. The hypotonic repetition of that vocal phrase implies stillness of being in your mind. It alludes to finding sanctuary in your mental space and seeking solace within yourself.“ Listen to longstoryshort‘s ‘In My Mind’, by hitting the ‘Play‘ button on the Spotify player below.

MGM Resorts International has announced a new project in Dubai called The Island. Located on Bluewaters Island, the resort will have three separate hotels – MGM, Bellagio, and Aria. But what’s even more interesting is that the complex will have a special round-shaped event space, in other words, a Sphere-like building, much like the Las Vegas one. MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle said that the Dubai Sphere won’t be as big as the one in Las Vegas, but it will still be very impressive. The capacity is rumored to be less than 1000, as opposed to the Las Vegas Sphere which holds 20,000 people in standing capacity. He explained the Dubai Sphere will have a smaller space for shows and other events, but it will offer a unique experience that tells the story of Dubai’s history. Take a look at the picture above. The Dubai Sphere is set to be the round object in the middle of the take. MGM originally planned to have a casino in the project, but they have decided not to include one because of current UAE laws. However, Hornbuckle said that they hope gaming might be allowed in the future. The Island project is a partnership between MGM Resorts and Wasl Hospitality and Leisure, a Dubai-based hotel company. Construction is happening now, but the opening date is not yet known. The Island will compete with other big resort projects in Dubai, such as Wynn Resorts’ $4 billion project and Caesars Entertainment’s existing properties.

If I tell you Loco Dice x Afrojack would you believe me? This collaboration is something you see rarely in the music industry. Afrojack has released a new single, Work, together with Sven Fields but, there’s a twist. This time Afrojack has released the song under his alter-ego, Kapuchon. And guess where it has been released? You’re right, Loco Dice’s music label SB Recordings is the home of Work. Me and Loco Dice go way back, so I’m very happy to finally put something out together, and it’s amazing to get creative with Sven’s fresh take on the genre. – AFROJACK/Kapuchon Work is SB Recordings‘ 10th release so far. The song is a sonic powerhouse that seamlessly blends the artists’ signature energy and goes perfectly hand in hand with Loco Dice’s remix. It serves as the Dice’s imprint’s milestone and a sign of its fast-paced development since the label launched not so long ago in 2023. The original version by Kapuchon and Sven, alongside a fierce remix by the SB Recordings’ boss himself, is now available for your listening pleasure as each version offers its own distinct sonic journey. Featuring a driving four-on-the-floor bassline, infectious vocals of A$AP Ferg, and a gritty, industrial vibe, “Work” is poised to dominate dancefloors worldwide. I have known Nick, aka AFROJACK, for a very long time. We have mutual friends, the Dutch crew, Benny Rodriguez, and Chuckie, among others. We were always cool with each other, had a good time when we’d meet, exchanged music, etc. Then, one day, Nick sent me “Work,” and I went all for it. I am a huge A$AP Ferg fan, and I was amazed that someone really did it and made something original with it. I started to play it immediately to crowds going mental to it. I also realized that I could do something with the track and make it even more mine. I proposed the release on my label, so here it is, and I can’t be happier. Nick and I have always wanted to do something together, and now, the time has come. – Loco Dice The post Afrojack lands on Loco Dice label with his Kapuchon alter-ego appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

Fred V & Grafix, the deeply influential drum & bass duo, are reuniting for a rare DJ set in London. The pair amicably split back in December 2018 to pursue solo projects, with Fred V saying at the time that the duo's "journey has been nicely concluded" after completing a three-album deal with Hospital Records. 2016's Oxygen album was a tour de force, defining an era of liquid drum & bass music through timeless tracks like "Ultraviolet" and "Altitude." The iconic label's global events arm, Hospitality, is now set to host Fred V & Grafix at the first drum & bass event at O2 Academy Brixton since its April comeback. The venue reopened with new safety measures after shuttering in December 2022, when a crowd crush resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to others. Joining the duo on the lineup for the eight-hour, Halloween-themed day party are Camo & Krooked, Metrik, P Money x Whiney and other Hospital Records favorites. Attendees will also experience a special b2b performance from Nu:Tone and London Elektricity, who will drop a "History Of Hospital" set replete with classics from the label's storied catalog. "I'm delighted that we are taking Hospitality back to one of the truly legendary venues, and probably my favourite music space… O2 Brixton Academy," Hospital Records founder Chris Goss said in a statement. "We delivered so many exceptional shows in this building, including the launch of Netsky Live, Camo & Krooked debut stage production and the first d&b 360 experience! This is going to be special." The show is scheduled for October 26th. Check out the lineup below and purchase passes here.
