Are DJs tired of partygoers constantly requesting overplayed songs and not accepting no for an answer? DJ Pressplay, the resident DJ at Coda in Colchester, has implemented a price list for “overplayed songs”. Specifically for people who “don’t take ‘no’ for an answer anymore” when requesting music. Colin Gingell-Good shared that he has introduced written signs on his DJ booth in an interview with The Daily Gazette. The Coda resident DJ introduced this price list in his DJ booth since April 2022. Charges include £50 for birthday requisitions, £100 for “songs that don’t fit the night” and those who want their song “played next because [they’re] leaving”. Lastly £500 for “insisting you know better than the DJ”. He goes onto explaining “overplayed” hits get special price points. Some of the steepest pricing include £250 for Kings Of Leon’s ‘Sex On Fire’, £500 for Oasis’s ‘Wonderwall’ and a whooping £1,000 for The Killers’ ‘Mr. Brightside’. DJ PressPlay emphasizes that requests for good songs that fit the night and those people will enjoy the night free of charge. Gingell-Good stated that the price list acts as a “polite reminder“. It’s a lighthearted joke, which most people find amusing. It’s targeting people who insist on having their way and to avoid lengthy discussions about why he won’t play their songs. In a bit of a tongue-in-cheek kind of joke, I’ve put this sign up. It’s more of a polite notice that if you’re going to come up and not take no for an answer – you won’t accept I’m not going to ruin the night just for you – then I’m going to pretend I’m going to charge you for it DJ PressPlay Well fellow DJs what do you think? Let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned to EDMTunes for all your latest music updates. The post British DJ Imposes Fines For Requesting “Overplayed Songs” appeared first on EDMTunes.

From where I stood, the crowd gathered at West Hollywood Park resembled a gentle technicolor wave emerging from a horizon. I was a part of that crowd moments prior, riding the wave, merrily singing and dancing along to one of dance-pop's most iconic artists. As I pulled myself away from that spirited crowd, I found myself under a multicolored tree. And it was there, beneath the twinkling lights, watching the audience so carefree and full of life, that I came to a humbling realization: it wasn't that long ago that we as queer people were not allowed to celebrate in this fashion. When discussing the emergence of the gay rights movement, the Stonewall Riots of 1969 are considered to be the spark that lit the fuse. The series of demonstrations against the police raiding of a New York City gay bar were a direct response to the oppression faced by LGBT citizens at the time. The anniversary of the riots was marked by marches across major American cities, thus ushering in the modern-day gay pride parades. Half a century later, Pride events have transformed from political calls for action to utopias celebrating everything queer, from self-expression to sexual freedom. This transformation continues into the 2020s, as evidenced by the recent addition of multi-day music festivals centered around pride. "I think that it has been an evolution," Jeff Consoletti, CEO and Founder of OUTLOUD Music Festival, tells EDM.com. "You have to educate young people of where pride originated from, what Stonewall means, who these pioneers of LGBT history are, and why we have a Pride march." Cyndi Lauper performing at WeHo Pride 2024.Jon Viscott Consoletti created OUTLOUD in 2020 as an online platform for queer artists to showcase their talents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project has now grown into a full-fledged music festival, partnering with the city of West Hollywood as its flagship WeHo Pride event. "We want to be the epicenter of queer music, introducing rising artists with established acts that have a track record of servicing the LGBT community," Consoletti explains. "It doesn't necessarily mean that every artist on our bill has to be queer, as we gladly welcome allied artists that have been championing voices in our community for years." As an independent producer, Consoletti emphasized the importance of embracing the diverse range of talented musicians found within queer spaces. And with electronic music having strong ties with the queer and Black communities, Consoletti knew he had to include dance music in the mix. "You can't do any show these days without an electronic component," Consoletti adds. "This was one of our biggest DJ-driven lineups we've ever put together." "Big" was an understatement. Over a three-day period, West Hollywood Park transformed into a haven for dance music enthusiasts. Beginning on Friday night, audiences were transported to electro-nirvana by way of 2010's dance party girl, Kesha. Kesha performing at the 2024 OUTLOUD Music Festival.Steven On The Scene Things kicked into high gear on Saturday as Yaeji, Channel Tres, Purple Disco Machine and EDM.com Class of 2022 alumni Kaleena Zanders energized crowds across both OUTLOUD's mainstage and the Summertramp-hosted stage. Come Sunday, spirits were high as the post-Pride parade crowds emerged from the street party on Santa Monica Boulevard and flooded into the festival grounds. On the mainstage, drag queen-turned-star DJ Trixie Mattel spun a mix of house music heaters, followed by Ashnikko and Big Freedia, who perfectly complimented each other with their dynamic performances. Trixie Mattel performing at the 2024 OUTLOUD Music Festival.Naz Massaro Over on the sweltering Summertramp stage, Kiesza animated the dancefloor as she performed tracks off her latest album, Dancing and Crying: Vol. 1. The Canadian electro-pop songstress, who recently emerged from a hiatus after a severe car accident, emphasized how her road to recovery inspired her latest project. "I sustained a brutal brain injury from a car crash in 2017," Kiesza told us onsite at OUTLOUD. "I've turned a corner now where I'm going to be able to come back to the dance scene. I've been a dancer my whole life and having lost that side of myself was truly tragic." Kiesza's love for dance was most apparent in the timeless music video for her 2014 debut single, "Hideaway". The video, which sees her dancing through the busy streets of New York, was shot in a single take and has amassed over half a billion views on YouTube. "I want my music to encourage people to be okay with who they are inside... if you know who you are, make that louder," Kiesza says. "Express that. Throw it out into the world. Even if people don't accept you, don't stop being you. We will all find each other eventually." Kiesza wrapped up her WeHo Pride appearance with a performance of "Hideaway" before leaving a note of encouragement to the gay community, with whom she has strong ties. "I know we've come a long way, but there's still a lot left to do," she asserts. "I want to be in the forefront to help push that in the right direction." The Summertramp stage was also host to another dance music diva, the house music vocal legend Crystal Waters. The iconic singer-songwriter put on a spectacle as she belted out her classic 90s hits "Gypsy Woman," "100% Pure Love" and "Destination Calabria." As Waters' dynamic performance came to a close, the pulsating beats of electronica prevailed well into the evening. DJ Holographic, Hot Chip and Josh Peace took to the stage and aided in keeping the Summertramp faithful hot and steamy all night. Back on the mainstage, the surge of energy emanating from the crowd only grew bigger as Diplo took to the decks. Blending together gay anthems and techno hits, he activated the audience, turning them into ravers for the evening. Diplo and Bebe Rexha performing at the 2024 OUTLOUD Music Festival.Naz Massaro After Diplo's heart-pounding performance, which included a surprise appearance by Bebe Rexha), West Hollywood was treated to an unforgettable spectacle of a show by OUTLOUD's top-billed headliner, Kylie Minogue, a dyed-in-the-wool queer icon in her own right. Minogue's influence on dance music is undeniable. Everywhere you turned, audience members were singing and dancing along to hits like "Can't Get You Out of My Head," "Love at First Sight," "Get Out of My Way" and, of course, last year's runaway hit, "Padam Padam." Kylie Minogue performing at the 2024 OUTLOUD Music Festival.Jon Viscott Back under that rainbow-colored tree, I watched as the happy-go-lucky, free-spirited crowd abandoned the dancefloor and dissipated into the street party behind me. But the gravity of the moment wasn't lost on me—I knew that despite all the progress for our community, the fight continues. As for OUTLOUD Music Festival, Consoletti and his team managed to create an inclusive safe haven for music lovers of all genres. The event was the highlight of WeHo Pride and delivered on its mission to bring queer artists and allies together in celebrating the LGBT community. "My relationship with the city of West Hollywood is incredibly important to me," Consoletti said. "There's no other municipality that will go all out for the queer community. So in terms of OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride, this show is not going anywhere."

Selected Ambient Works Volume II (abbreviated as SAW II)] is the second studio album by the British electronic music artist and producer Aphex Twin. It was released on 7 March 1994 through Warp Records. Billed as a follow-up to James’ debut Selected Ambient Works 85–92, the album differs in sound by being largely beatless ambient music. James said it was inspired by lucid dreaming and likened the music to “standing in a power station on acid.” The album reached No. 11 on the UK Albums Chart. Selected Ambient Works Volume II had a mostly positive reception from critics on release and was later placed on various best-of-the-decade lists by publications such as Rolling Stone, Spin, and Pitchfork. Volume II is considered to be James’ shift from ambient techno to darker ambient music. Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition) – is now available on 4xLP Standard, 3xCD, 2xCassette and a Limited Edition Boxset from 4 October 2024. Previously vinyl-only track ‘#19’ is out today.

In the post-pandemic world, one innovative company saw an opportunity to connect people through the power of music and virtual reality. Soundscape, the premier musical metaverse experience, has created a stunning virtual realm that allows users to explore, perform, and attend concerts like never before. As someone who had zero experience with VR gaming, I was initially intimidated by the setup process. However, once I donned my headset and entered the Soundscape universe, an unlimited number of possibilities opened as to what the future will be like when it comes to virtual reality and music. Immersive Avatar Customization One of the first things that struck me was the incredibly detailed avatar customization. Users can craft a digital representation that either mirrors their real-world appearance or embodies a completely fantastical persona. I spent considerable time meticulously designing my avatar, reveling in the ability to experiment with vibrant hair colors and unique features. An Audio-Reactive Wonderland Spanning a vast 20 square miles (about 51 kilometers), the Soundscape metaverse is a true auditory marvel. Every element of the environment, from the twinkling stars overhead to the pulsating mushrooms underfoot, reacts in perfect synchronicity with the music. This audio-reactive world creates an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the virtual and the tangible. Interactive Musical Festivities At the heart of Soundscape lies a celebration of music and artistic expression. Users can attend virtual festivals, explore mind-bending art installations, and even host their own celebratory gatherings with friends from around the globe. The ability to manipulate light cubes and shoot glowing projectiles adds an extra layer of interactivity and whimsy to the proceedings. Intimate Artist Connections One of the most exciting aspects of Soundscape is its seamless integration with renowned artists like deadmau5 and Evanescence. Users can attend archived concerts, experiencing the energy and passion of live performances from the comfort of their virtual realm. This intimate connection with beloved musicians is a testament to Soundscape’s commitment to fostering genuine artistic expression. Accessibility and Privacy Notably, Soundscape prioritizes accessibility and privacy in a refreshing departure from many modern games. With a one-time fee and no microtransactions or hidden costs, the metaverse is truly open to all. Additionally, the company’s policy of not tracking or selling user data ensures a secure and enjoyable experience. Cutting-Edge Technology What truly sets Soundscape apart is its cutting-edge technology. As the first major VR experience built natively on Unreal Engine 5, it offers state-of-the-art graphics and performance controls.

We’ve been on our knees for three long years, but we have said our prayers and they listened. Iconic Indie Electronic Band RÜFÜS DU SOL took it upon social media to announce their forthcoming single ‘Music is Better‘. The track begins the new cycle for the Rose Avenue Label leads, as we gear towards their fifth studio album. June 21st can’t come soon enough. Music Is Definitely Better After Residencies in Vegas and lots of tears while ‘Innerbloom‘ plays, tons of fans have been waiting for new music from the Grammy-winning band. Well, yes, they have been teasing us with studio snippets in the last few months, and they have fed us good sets like Coachella and Tulum. However, we are all extremely anxious, awaiting for their diaphonous soundscapes. ‘Music is Better’ will be RÜFÜS DU SOL’s first single in this new era, culminating the wait with a Portola performance later in September. This means we have a few more months to treat each other better, and hold our breaths underwater as long as we can. The Surrender Remix album could only hold us so long, and ‘Miracle’ Remix with Adriatique and WHOMADEWHO from last year gave us the extra push we needed. Now, there’s no place we’d rather be, than here. If you’re as obssesed as we are check their socials so you can be the first one to hear the new track.

It really can’t get more serene than this. As we continue festival season with hard sounds and increased bpms, sometimes it’s nice to breathe and decompress, so we can rage harder. Sultan + Shepard & Elderbrook’s ‘I’ll Be Here’ (Le Youth Remix) is that precise fresh air that revitalizes you. What else can we expect from Lane 8‘s ethereal This Never Happened label, other than four melodic daddies caressing our eardrums. I’ll Be Here, Always Sultan + Shepard have had an incredible run with their 2024 album Endless, Dawn. The original ‘I’ll Be Here’ with Elderbrook delivers the magic of unconditional love. A bittersweet romance that may weigh on you at times but you continue to show support and devotion to that being. Los Angeles native DJ Le Youth spins his own rendition of the track. While adding a deeper bass and unique reverbs, the essence of the song is channeled through the melodies. As a result, you have an incredibly emotional song that we can all relate to one way or another. Knowing that these DJs are great friends and they support each other’s music consistently adds more depth to the craft needed to make music. The artistic connection these individuals have with each other is truly remarkable. More of Le Youth Le Youth isn’t just a name in dance music, he’s a driving force. With a staggering 350 million streams across his releases and remixes, he’s graced some of the genre’s most revered labels – Lane 8’s This Never Happened, Anjunabeats, Armada Electronic Elements, and countless others. Each track is a testament to his relentless pursuit of innovation, pushing boundaries and shaping the future of the sound. Inspired by the melodic depths of Lane 8, Ben Böhmer, Sasha, and Eric Prydz, Le Youth crafts music that transcends the setting. Whether it’s a cozy night in or a euphoric dance floor, his music finds a way to connect. Fueled by a recent exploration of vintage studio gear and synthesizers, he’s rediscovering the raw energy of analog sounds. This, coupled with his fearless experimentation, has led him to forge a sound that’s both distinctly his own and utterly captivating. Le Youth isn’t just making music – he’s creating experiences, and inspiring a generation of music lovers along the way. (source) More of Sultan + Shepard A serendipitous meeting in the twilight realm of a Montreal after-hours club in 2002 sparked a musical connection as luminous as a neon dream. Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard, their creative souls intertwined, embarked on a journey of sonic alchemy. Original compositions and ethereal remixes swirled into existence, their first song finding a sanctuary on John Digweed’s revered Bedrock label. The world became their stage, a nomadic symphony traversing the hallowed grounds of Tomorrowland, Ultra, and EDC. Recognition from their peers arrived like celestial blessings – a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording (Bruno Mars’ ‘Locked Out Of Heaven‘) and two Juno Award nominations for Best Dance Recording. A return to their roots, a melodic house and progressive renaissance, unfolded. Lane 8’s This Never Happened became their new haven, and Dialekt Radio, a platform for their sonic explorations, was born. Singles and EPs materialized, collaborations with kindred spirits like Jon Hopkins, Angela McCluskey, Shallou, and Le Youth blooming like vibrant wildflowers. (source) More of Elderbrook A live phenomenon with a heart full of melody, he pours his soul into every note. This multi-talented artist – a master of instruments, production, singing, and songwriting – crafts music that resonates with a gentle touch. His songs explore the tender themes of self-discovery, finding peace within, and the joys of parenthood. With over 1.5 billion people captivated by his sound, Elderbrook’s music has garnered Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. He’s shared the stage with incredible artists like Jungle, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Odesza, and collaborated with musical luminaries like Camelphat, Diplo, Bob Moses, and Black Coffee. But what truly sets him apart is his adventurous spirit. Elderbrook isn’t afraid to explore different musical landscapes, a testament to his ever-evolving creativity. He’s a forward-thinking talent, confident in his voice, and always seeking to connect with listeners on a deeper level. So, if you’re looking for music that uplifts, inspires, and speaks to the heart, look no further than Elderbrook.

The man behind some of the biggest Pop icons of the last years is moving on from his defining journey. Music manager Scooter Braun, the mastermind behind superstars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, announced his retirement from artist management today. This marks the end of a remarkable 23-year run where Braun played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of some of the 21st Century’s biggest pop icons. In a heartfelt statement released on social media, Braun reflected on his journey, describing it as a “Forrest Gump-like life” filled with incredible experiences. He expressed his gratitude for witnessing and contributing to the success of some of the most talented artists in the world. However, Braun also acknowledged a growing desire to shift his focus. “It’s a strange feeling“, Braun admitted. “While I think I’ve wanted this for a while, there was a fear of asking ‘who would I be without them?’” He noted starting his career at a young age, dedicating himself to the demanding role of an artist manager for over two decades. While initially fulfilling, Braun ultimately decided to prioritize his family life. While I think I’ve wanted this for a while, there was a fear of asking ‘who would I be without them?’ -Scooter Braun This next chapter will see Braun step into a more prominent role at HYBE America, the company he joined after HYBE’s acquisition of Ithaca Holdings in 2021. Ithaca encompasses both of his firms — SB Projects, Braun’s former management company, and Big Machine Music Group, focused on country music. He expressed his confidence in Allison Kaye and Jennifer McDaniels, who will take over the leadership of the former. He praised them as “two incredibly powerful women” bound to lead the company into a new era, potentially becoming the industry’s “most impressive women-led management business“. Read Braun’s statement in full below. We wish him the best in this next chapter. [H/T] Billboard The post Legendary Manager Scooter Braun Retiring After 20+ Years Active appeared first on EDMTunes.
