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. The latest version also introduces upgrades like Soundskin avatar creation capabilities and the V4 release of Sonic AI, the platform’s audiovisual engine, enhancing the aesthetics and responsiveness across all worlds. While Soundscape is still a work in progress, its current offerings are a tantalizing glimpse into the future of virtual reality entertainment. As the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds continue to blur, Soundscape stands as a shining example of how technology can bring people together through the universal language of music.

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“.

A resident DJ for the Italian event brand The Cage and CEO of the label Finish Team Records, Manu P brings a unique perspective to each of his endeavours, whether unleashing high energy through his DJ sets or offering his support to rising Producers through his position at Finish Team Records, Manu P appears as a skilled and experienced talent. Jas.On himself has also been leading an exciting journey within Electronic Music: having founded Switch, an event planning company focused on curating memorable nights of Tech House, parties, and themed events, Jas.On has honed his experience DJing across stages, now coming to this production with a distinct skillset and sonic style. With its pounding beats, shuffled rhythms, and hypnotising processed vocal layers, ‘Clan 909’, brings the party from the very start, introducing funky energy that powers the track’s driving sound forward. As the soundscape grows with the dynamic low-end and colourful hits, the vocal-led breakdowns add to the infectious vibes, intensifying the groovy character of ‘Clan 909’ further: then glowing pads enter the mix, weaving amongst the energetic elements as the track continues to progress, guiding the listener through moments of animated sound. Having united their individual sounds together into a bold-sounding production, Manu P and Jas.On offer listeners an intoxicating listen, delivering a sonic experience that is a must for any of their fans or Tech House lovers. ‘Clan 909’ is out now via Reissues and is available to stream and download across platforms here.
