Music City came alive with bass and house music during the 2024 Deep Tropics festival, but beyond those thumping beats, a vibrant community gathered in the name of environmentalism. One of the festival's founders, Joel Atchison, called the festival "a bridge between party and purpose" during an interview with EDM.com last month. That sentiment certainly rang true throughout the weekend as conscious activations and workshops complimented full-throttle artist throwdowns across multiple stages. A few of musical highlights included Kaskade's mesmerizing "Redux" set and a heavy-hitting performance by RL Grime. Cassian, Nora En Pure and Taiki Nulight also left crowds speechless. Perhaps the weekend's most energizing set was from Tape B, who relentlessly dropped banger after banger. On Saturday night, headlining sets were cut short by an intense rainstorm. But that didn't stop PEEKABOO from giving Nashville a proper dose of bass music. He popped up at the Cannery Hall afters to play b2b with Tape B to make up for the lost time. Packed from front to back, the venue was shaking as fans raged. "I'm still buzzing from the energy we created," said Deep Tropics co-founder Blake Atchison. "We doubled our past attendance, while maintaining an intimate feel and a great fan experience. I’m so proud of our team, the park, the artists and this incredible community. The standout for me was seeing all the smiles." Kaskade performing at Deep Tropics 2024.Keith Griner Some of the most exciting moments from Deep Tropics shifted the focus from music to environmentalism, highlighting regenerative solutions and community wellness. From conversations about eco-conscious consumption and cultivating intentional community, to drum circles, yoga and meditation, Deep Tropics offered an array of impactful experiences to connect people with their community and with their planet. "2024 was a breakout year for Deep Tropics, filled with many firsts," said Joel, whose personal highlights from the event included flash mobs of local dancers, ice bath activations, sound baths and more. "Thursday’s sustainability summit exceeded all expectations, aiming to inspire the Nashville community beyond our core festival audience. Beyond three stages of music, we embraced our pillars of education, wellness, art, style and sustainability, offering new discoveries around every corner." "We had an amazing turnout for the Deep Culture speakeasy with unforgettable speakers and facilitators," Joel continues. "Seeing everyone shoulder to shoulder during the sunset breathwork journey on Saturday left me in awe. This was a true celebration of the diversity and creative talent of our region. Each year, it becomes even clearer that Deep Tropics is a bridge to unite and cultivate community." According to Deep Tropics, which is considered "the greenest festival in North America," the festival's team diverts a jaw-dropping 96% of festival waste from landfills. Plus, they're able to offset their carbon footprint with tree-planting initiatives. Relive the festival's magic via the Deep Tropics 2024 gallery below.

After teasing the track for nearly two years, Swedish House Mafia have "Finally" released their hotly anticipated collaboration with Alicia Keys. Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso are no strangers to high-profile collaborations, working with Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, the Weeknd, Sting, Future and more since debuting back in 2009. Now they've shared "Finally," a reimagined version of Kings of Tomorrow's Defected classic of the same name, alongside the R&B great Keys. Her vocal talents are front and center, but the iconic Swedish trio take the spotlight and amplify it with dramatic keys that build to an anthemic breakdown rich with radiant synths and pounding drums. Their production beautifully accompanies Keys' lyricism, achingly pondering the time spent waiting for a loved one before the track's energetic climax, which reflects the electric moment of reuniting. The new single arrives after another long-awaited track in the Swedish House Mafia lore, "Lioness," which released back in June. Listen to "Finally" below and find it on streaming platforms here.

High BPMs have made their way from being a niche to conquering the big stages at a meteoric speed. Two leading names in this scene make their way to the ADE Pro Conference to dive deep into the fast-paced BPM scene this October. Learn from both Sara Landry and Indira Paganotto, who each host a talk at the Conference accompanied by the most prominent industry experts. Hard Techno: Music & Lifestyle with Sara Landry Hard techno is taking the global music and event industry by storm. It has evolved into a cultural movement that includes fashion and several lifestyle trends. Fuelled by a young and highly engaged community, this sub-culture is here to stay. During this conversation with experts on ADE Wednesday, they explore the origin and impact of hard techno from both an artist and event angle in a fireside chat. Sara Landry, a self-taught producer, audio engineer, and DJ known for her dark, driving, and divinely feminine brand of industrial techno, speaks with with Michelle Verhoef, the General Manager of Verknipt, the world’s biggest hard techno organisation. As well as being an electronic music industry maverick, she’s also paving the way for the hard-techno movement – pushing what has long been considered subversive into popular culture – and women in music on a global scale. From Niche to Next Level with Indira Paganotto What does it take to get from a niche to the next level? This conversation will explore this topic from multiple angles, and all participants have hands-on experience in taking a niche to the next level. Let’s start with the artist’s perspective. What was Indira Paganotto’s massive road to success? How did she find her identity as an artist? What are some of the core strengths that allowed her to grow? And at what point in her career did she realise she had all the ingredients needed to become one of the biggest acts in the scene by staying authentic? During this panel on ADE Thursday, she takes the audience on a journey through these questions with her. Ilja Reiman is the originator of the ‘Gabber’ movement and joins her on stage. The movement became massively popular quickly, much like hard techno nowadays. The scene has since greatly impacted music and culture in general; Gabber even made it to the Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year. Last but not least is Reza Fathi, founder of Verknipt, who has an entirely different story. During COVID, they reinvented the identity of the Verknipt concept and went all-in on hard techno, which has landed them the biggest hard techno show in the world recently in the Amsterdam ArenA. Back then, rebranding to hard techno was a massive gamble since the genre was still considered a niche. Now, it’s gone to the next level. You can learn from these industry experts and many more during the five days of the ADE Pro Conference. https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/ade-pro/ The post Learn All About Harder Styles At ADE Pro With Sara Landry & Indira Paganotto appeared first on Electic Mode.

For his fifth album ‘Nothing But The Beat,’ David Guetta has collaborated with some big names in the music industry such as Snoop Dogg, Afrojack and Sia, but ‘Sunshine‘ features a back then rising Swedish legend, Avicii. For the first time together in the studio, the two DJs have produced an impressive track, but which remained one of the less listened records included on Guetta’s album. Although the single has hit 61 million streams now, it is still a pretty small record considering many of the songs on the album have over at least 100 million streams. Avicii released his first hit ‘Levels‘ in October 2011, 2 months after ‘Sunshine‘ with David Guetta dropped. It became probably the most known EDM song and the biggest emblem of dance music. After their first collaboration together, Guetta and Bergling have met in the studio a few other times, the most specific one being for the production of ‘Lovers On The Sun,’ a track released under David Guetta’s name but co-produced with Avicii. ‘Sunshine‘ was premiered by Avicii at Tomorrowland 2011 and during his 2012 Tomorrowland set the Swedish DJ played a legendary mashup between his song with David Guetta and ‘Spectrum‘ by Florence + The Machine. In 2019, 1 year later after the shocking passing of Tim Bergling, David played ‘Sunshine‘ for the last time at Avicii’s Tribute Concert. The event took place in Stockholm and besides David Guetta, it featured other DJ performances from names like Kygo, Nicky Romero, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Laidback Luke as well as Live Performances by artists like Rita Ora, Aloe Blacc, Adam Lamber and many more.

OCULA returns to the famous This Never Happened label with a brand new single. As a matter of fact, the British DJ and producer Brad Littler – aka OCULA – has released ‘Against The Current‘, a collaboration with ATTLAS. OCULA said that ATLLAS – real name Jeff Hartford – has always been a huge inspiration to him as an artist, stemming from his early mau5trap days all the way up to now. Jeff sent a goldmine-like playlist over to him full of incredible demos, but this one stood out, OCULA said. He instantly felt a connection to what he’d already got, and knew exactly which direction he’d want to take it. “I love the energy and feel-good factor that this song has.” Canadian producer ATTLAS came to prominence in November 2014 with the heavily sought after deadmau5 ‘Aural Psynapse’ remix. It caused a tidal wave of speculation that ATTLAS was in fact a side project of the mau5 himself. That speculation ended when he was officially ‘outed’ by Pete Tong , announcing ATTLAS is Jeff Hartford, Canadian producer, dj and classically trained musician. An incredible depth of influences from travelling, alongside music, film and art worlds have had a decided effect on his musical outpourings, which were all jazz, classical and guitars until trips to Amsterdam, Berlin and attending the homecoming ‘Meowington Hax’ 2k11 tour. You can listen to OCULA and ATTLAS’ new collaboration ‘Against The Current’ below and on all available streaming platforms. Stay tuned for more news!

A legal battle has erupted between Atlanta hip-hop pioneers Outkast and the EDM duo ATLiens. Outkast has filed a lawsuit claiming that ATLiens’ use of the name “ATLiens” infringes on their trademark. Attorneys for Outkast argue that ATLiens’ use of the name “ATLiens” infringes on Outkast’s trademark. They claim ATLiens has “caused actual confusion” among music fans, stemming from ATLiens sharing their name with a 1996 Outkast album that sold over 2 million copies. “The album’s title is a portmanteau of ‘ATL’ — an abbreviation for Atlanta, Georgia — and the word ‘aliens,'” the lawsuit reads. “The word ATLiens was invented by Outkast. Before Outkast created it, it was not used in the cultural lexicon and did not exist. The term ATLiens is inextricably associated with Outkast.” The lawsuit claims people mistakenly believe the DJ duo ATLiens is somehow connected with Outkast. Lawyers point to ATLiens advertisements they say mimics Outkast’s brand as well as “communications from third-parties querying whether Outkast was affiliated with Defendant’s upcoming show.” The lawsuit says Outkast attempted to find an “amicable resolution to the dispute.” Management for ATLiens did not respond to EDMTunes‘ request for comment. The Outkast ATLiens trademark lawsuit asks that ATLiens be banned from using ‘ATLiens’ and pay unspecified monetary damages.

It’s been more than a year since the AirPods Pro 2 launched, which means the much-loved in-ear headphones are in need of an update. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg hinted that the popular headphones would be released in 2025. However, a recent tweet from reliable Apple leaker Kosutami revealed that we’d be getting the AirPods Pro 3 much sooner than expected. Both Gurman and Kosutami have been extremely reliable in their predictions so it’ll be interesting to see who’s right this time. The tweet says that the AirPods Pro 3 will come with upgraded digital ANC performance, leading to improvements in noise cancellation. Along with the “much better” ANC capabilities, users can expect a similar price point as the AirPods Pro 2, which stands at $249. Kosutami also said that the 4th generation of the AirPods will be “announced soon”. They’ll come in two variants: the AirPods 4 and AirPods Lite, according to Bloomberg. Apple is set to announce this along with a whole host of other products during its special event on September 9th at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. The iPhone 16 including its Plus, Pro, and Max variants will be unveiled at the event. The Pro and Max versions will keep the three-camera layout but the screens could be larger. The event’s tagline is “It’s Glowtime” which hints at the codename of macOS Sequoia. All signs point to the new macOS being released alongside, or around the same time, as iOS 18, which will get its release date announced at the event, according to Gurman on Twitter/X.

Here’s the latest collection you didn’t know you needed. And yes, it involves tons of 303s. We’ve got an exciting new release out today, coming to you from none other than Nate Mars. He’s carved out a distinctive niche in the music scene, making use of Acid-infused productions and a shadowy Pop edge that draws listeners in like a magnet. His sound explores two classic ideas with an innovative approach, and that’s what’s led him to quite the successful season. Influenced by the likes of The Knife, Jamie xx, Aphex Twin, and The Prodigy, Mars likes to break the mould. Recent collaborations and a roster of artists who remixed his In Time EP have underscored his growing impact, which has even made it to the eyes (and ears) of giant BBC Radio 1. Mars’ live performances only add to his uniqueness and all-rounder mind, with the iconic TB-303 beats blending seamlessly with analogue hardware and looped vocals. His shows include appearances at SXSW and Miami Music Week. And today, he’s back to present a huge project from his very studio. Dark Room Ghost Nate Mars’ latest, Dark Room Ghost, is quite the album. It offers a deep reflection of his connection to Underground music culture, by enhancing those Acid elements he’s known for. The LP looks to pay homage to the raw nature of the 90s and early 2000s raves. It captures the intense energy of these moments, creating a blend of nostalgic sounds and cutting-edge techniques. For Mars, clubs present a paradox. They are vibrant spaces with unparalleled amounts of joy, and are often associated with freedom and community. But at the same time, he also sees moments of loneliness. The anonymity of the crowd and the intensity of the music can sometimes enhance feelings of isolation and introspection. Dark Room Ghost explores this complex emotional terrain, offering both a deep dive into the good and the bad, the vocal and the unspoken, the light and the dark, perhaps. Through evocative TB-303 sounds, Mars captures a wide spectrum of emotions associated with these spaces — from euphoric highs to solitary lows.

It looked shaky at one point, but Bass Canyon pulled off a leviathan feat. Excision’s annual takeover of the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington overcame lightning and window storms, mid-show cancellations and the threat of a spoiled weekend to deliver everything it promised. The emotional—and borderline literal—whirlwind started during Saturday’s Kill The Noise set. The 21-year veteran was forced to abruptly end his set and informed fans of an impending lightning storm. “Bass Canyon, I’m sorry but there’s lightning in the area,” Kill the Noise told fans. “You know how that s–t goes.” An alert subsequently broadcast on the Canyon Stage screen directing concertgoers back to their vehicles for shelter. There was a collective hesitancy from fans who saw dark clouds nearby but no lightning. Then it rained. Fans took shelter as cold, wet globs poured overhead. Campers filed out of the venue and returned to their campsites awaiting further details. An update was sent not long after informing attendees the show was on. Fans started their second round trip from the campsites to the amphitheater with various degrees of enthusiasm. Roaring thunder and crackling lightning bolts sparked skepticism but it seemed the storms were moving away from the venue. Day two picked up with its regularly scheduled programming. Kompany and Dion Timmer’s lightning-infused b2b was a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Head-banging as lightning streaked through the sky was a surreal and unforgettable experience. Kompany and Timmer completed their set without incident and it seemed the Bass Gods were pleased. Then Eptic arrived. The "Tactix" producer drew fans in with an elaborate introduction and long countdown. At the climax of the intro, Eptic commanded the audience to, “Open up the f—ing pit!” “Do not open it up,” a second voice demanded. Lighting was no longer a concern but a wind storm now blowing through the venue was. A set-piece on the mainstage broke off and swung around, raising concerns about other structures in the venue and prompting staff to direct people back to their vehicles. Dejected fans walked back to their campsites to assess the damages caused by the wind, and were soon met with the responsible but disheartening news that day two was cancelled. Mother Nature dealt a crushing blow to fans on Saturday. At the height of disappointment, fortifying campsites and concerns for full-blown event cancellation, optimistic chatter spread through the campsites. Habstrakt, who was scheduled to perform a b2b with JOYRYDE after Eptic’s set, was headed to the camp stage for a makeup performance. It was the weekend’s first reminder of why Excision’s commitment to the fan experience makes him a highly-regarded event curator. Habstrakt, accompanied briefly by JOYRYDE cameo, and Viperactive rescued the evening camp stage performances after their scheduled sets were scrapped. Turk Photos Excision’s team and the performing artists deserve repeat standing ovations. It would have been disappointing but forgivable if concessions were made after day two’s partial cancellation. That did not happen. The artists went above and beyond to deliver the weekend promised to fans. Every mainstage act whose set was canceled on Saturday stayed put to perform on Sunday. A collective sigh of relief rang through the Gorge's campground at a windy Sunday noon when a notification alert hit the Bass Canyon app. The elements were calming and the show would proceed with welcomed amendments, and the festival's gates opened early to accommodate the revamped Sunday lineup. The final product was an insanely stacked finale. The mainstage featured Zingara, Ray Volpe, Excision’s "Detox" set, Eptic, Kai Wachi, Wooli, LSZEE, Zeds Dead and Excision’s throwback set in succession. Saturday could have been a disaster. But thanks to the lengths taken to remedy day three, weekend campers can look back on nature’s intrusion as a temporary setback that brought people together. On that note, it’d be a disservice not to applaud the festival’s attendees. Campers rushed to help secure others’ campsites, share laughs amid the misery and boost morale with renegade sets. A special shoutout to our neighbors, who kindly invited us to watch Back to the Future on their campsite projector wall. Excision’s industry-leading visuals truly went Hollywood this weekend. Friday’s headliner opened with a brand new Transformers-themed intro, followed by the news that Excision had collaborated on a project with the new Transformers One film premiering on September 20th. His industry-leading lasers and graphics are old news by now, but a dramatic increase in pyrotechnics made Bass Canyon feel like a grand spectacle. Levity’s rapid rise was another day one highlight. EDM.com Class of 2024 trio maximized their marquee spot at the Hilltop Stage, delivering a fresh and unapologetically fun performance. ATLiens and Ganja White Night were among Friday’s great showcases. The second-ever performance of CloZee and LSDREAM’s joint project was the weekend’s standout set. LSZEE was refreshingly unique, delivering a psychedelic-world bass fusion that never felt out of place. The duo is must-watch viewing and should be a priority on any personally curated festival schedule. Divisuals Wooli and Zeds Dead were two other highlights from Sunday. Wooli’s confidence and growth over the last two years are noticeable. His visuals stand by itself —no small feat when appearing on an Excision lineup—and his crowd control is top-notch. The dubstep star blew fans away by dropping an unreleased GriZ collaboration, but not before tempting fate with a dramatic voiceover hilariously condemning the elements. “F–k wind. And definitely, f–k lightning!” the cinematic narrator proclaimed during Wooli’s intro. Meanwhile, Zeds Dead’s set was a wild rollercoaster. It was at times exciting, emotional, unhinged and with their "Pure Imagination" finale, downright beautiful. And speaking of unhinged, a special shoutout to YOOKiE for their ridiculous, meme-worthy set on Sunday. Team Excision continues to raise the bar each year. It’s no surprise they’ve curated one of the most welcoming fan cultures in electronic dance music. They lead by example. The Bass Canyon artists, fans and staff came together to overcome a potentially catastrophic weekend and deliver a show that exceeded expectations.

The resort city of Palm Springs continues to sizzle after hosting a pair of extremely successful Splash House weekenders. The pool party-festival hybrid, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last season, has become a Southern California summertime staple due to its unique, laid-back desert setting. Spread across three distinct resort hotels (Margaritaville, Saguaro and Rennaisance), the event allows for a trio of distinct backdrops, all accessible via a free shuttle service. Additionally, for two nights, the party moves to the Palm Springs Air Museum, where Splash House's after-hours events allow you to dance under the stars and next to vintage aircraft. Supplementary packages were also available this year, including opening and closing parties, yoga, tequila tastings, Ableton production classes and a drag brunch. For its 2024 season, the event was shortened back to two weekends after experimenting for three weekends in years past.
