Sometimes, one little reel or short-format video is all it takes to give you a head start into stardom. However, it takes dedication, planning, and follow-through, to continuously ride the wave and use your platform the most effective way. This is just one of the many intricate things we learnt about the up-and-coming DJ and producer OKAYVAL. The Florida-based artist has taken House music by storm with her newest track ‘Techno Sh’. Her sound portrays infectious, dark grooves and heavy basslines. Moreover, her social media presence resonates with her audience, launching her career to new heights. We had a chance to speak with OKAYVAL and discuss her artist career, latest track, and what else she has going on for the rest of the year. How has the power of social media impacted your music career thus far? It has changed everything for me. It brought so many opportunities when it comes to labels and the back-end of the music industry. As well as allowing me to build a community. Now my fans know me through social media and they’re able to discover more of me and my music. It has changed my life completely. How has social media changed the panorama for edm artists across the world? Artists are getting discovered more, yet it has its pros and cons. I know a lot of artists say: “Well, now I have to share videos and stories on social media about my music”. They would rather spend that time in focusing on their music and producing instead. But I think it’s a good opportunity for new artists and current artists to put themselves out there. I understand how tedious it can be worrying about going viral and being consistent. But I also see the opportunities to grow and build a bigger fanbase, and bring new eyes into your brand. What’s an important element in marketing artists can focus on outside of social media? I would say mostly building relationships. Getting yourself out there and meet people in the industry, other artists, play pop-up shows. I’m seeing a lot more pop-up out there, they’re super hot right now and I want to start playing them as well. They feel super close and personal. If you’re not a big social media person, I feel that you can start creating those bonds with different artists, gather their support, and play a lot locally. That will help you will be building a fan base. Like, hey I saw OKAYVAL at this random show and really liked her. And we saw you’re staying busy right now, with pop-up shows, your own headlining shows, and opening up for Louis the Child recently? Yes I did, I was with AM Radio (that’s Steve Cardigan) for a pop-up, they usually do plenty of them in LA. This time, they brought it to Austin, TX and it was crazy. There was a line outside at 10am to see us play and the crowd was amazing. It was the first time I ever did something like that. So, that’s why I think pop-up shows are the next big thing. How have your Colombian roots influence your music? Actually, I haven’t got the chance to do more Spanish vocals or like Latin-House as OKAYVAL, which I want to do soon. Growing up, my mom used to listen to House and Techno all the time, but it was like David Guetta, Tiesto. That’s why I like the harder, darker side of House. As of right now I haven’t included any of those roots yet but I will be soon. Your mom is a former raver, do you go out to raves together? We haven’t partied together like that yet. But I am really excited because I have an upcoming show in NY and she will be seeing me perform live for the first time. I’ve been wanting to take her to shows for a while. But I think it’ll be super special when I get to take her to big events like Ultra or Tomorrowland when I play there. You also won the Insomniac’s Discovery Project for Project Glow, can you walk us through that experience? So honestly, I didn’t remember submitting the mix. Like, I knew i had done it but i had totally forgot about it because I was so busy and focused on other things. I was sitting on my couch and got a call from an LA number but I didn’t answer thinking it was a spam call. Then, they left me a voicemail from Insomniac and I called them immediately. I couldn’t believe it, Nostalgix was the special judge and i really look up to her career and her success. I ended up playing in Denver the night before then went straight to DC to play at Project Glow. Moreover, I was super nervous since it was my first time playing on a big stage, but Insomniac treated me so well and they were super accommodating. I ended up releasing a song with them shortly after, so that was a pretty cool experience. Your newest track ‘Techno Sh’ has blown up and it reached #1 on the Beatport Electronica, how are you feeling right now? I wasn’t expecting it to blow so hard. Yes, I knew it was a special song and there was a lot of hype behind it. But I have other viral videos with past songs and I thought those songs would do great back then. This time around, the audience response felt so genuine and powerful. I went into it with no expectations, but now it’s going super well, and people message me telling me how much they love the track. What’s the story behind ‘Techno Sh’? It used to sound so different when I first started it. It used to be called ‘Slap”. I worked with a very talented vocalist who writes as well. And when he came up with the ‘Techno Sh’ vocals I knew that was the way to go. I feel the lyrics are the big drivers of the song. How will you carry the momentum of this track into this coming year? I’m working on tons of new music, I want to keep releasing more tracks consistently. I did switch from more melodic into darker tech-house now, so i have finally found my sound. I want to release more songs and play more gigs to continue to build that relationship with the fans. That’s our six month plan at least, but I’m super excited. You have plenty of shows coming up, how are you preparing yourself? I just sit down and listen to a lot of music. Yes I play my music but i also love playing tracks from up and coming artists. I also like to keep up the energy, since i feed up the crowd’s energy. I like to put myself on the dancefloor and envision how the crowd will react to my set list. Go support OKAYVAL on her social media and her upcoming shows, as well as her newest single ‘Techno Sh’.

What if the key to electronic music production lies in a single, forgotten word: fun? Flux Pavilion and Doctor P are bringing mischief back to the music, and they're not playing by the numbers. After two decades of collaboration, the British dubstep pioneers are finally releasing an album, which serves as both a time capsule of their teenage jams and a middle finger to the data-driven dourness creeping into today's scene. Wobble meets whimsy in the duo's self-titled album, due out March 27th to align with their long-awaited return to Miami's storied Ultra Music Festival. A technicolor burst of bass-heavy brilliance, it shrugs off the shackles of streaming metrics to prioritize one core principle: fun. The album smiles and snarls, fighting back against the Spotifyfication of dubstep. Speaking with Flux Pavilion and Doctor P, whose real names are Josh Steele and Shaun Brockhurst respectively, it's clear they've tapped into a creative vein that's as refreshing as it is rebellious—a throwback to the genre's wilder, less self-conscious days. Dubstep is far from dying, despite its detractors continuing to waste their breath arguing otherwise. In fact, it's evolving, according to Steele and Brockhurst, two mates who still love the game as much as they did when they were blowing out cheap speakers in their parents' basements 23 years ago. Not-so-subtle nods to their past anchor the album's ethos: this isn't just who they are now, but who they've always been. That depth comes through in their sound design, a fascinating exercise in irreverent storytelling that weaves both drama and humor without tipping into parody. It's a balancing act they've honed despite industry pressures to pick a lane—serious or silly. We caught up with the influential founders of Circus Records to discuss the creative direction of their new album, and how they channeled their past to recapture the spontaneity and wild spirit of early dubstep. Fans can pre-order Doctor P & Flux Pavilion here ahead of its release Thursday, March 27th. Fiona Garden EDM.com: You mentioned that this album encapsulates not just who you are now, but who you've been your entire lives. What's a moment from your early years that directly influenced a track on this album? Doctor P: One of the first tracks we wrote for the album was "Turbo Time." When Josh sent me the original demo I was instantly reminded of a song called "Plain Chocolate" that we made together when we were teenagers. The funky saxophone riff is very similar and it made me smile when I heard it. I think that moment of remembering "Plain Chocolate" probably caused me to start taking more influence from our early music together. Flux Pavilion: At that point in the album writing process we were just writing lots of simple demos and we had no idea what the album would end up becoming. EDM.com: You’ve been working together for over 20 years. If you had to pick one track on the album that perfectly embodies the essence of Flux Pavilion and Doctor P—past, present and future—which one would it be and why? Doctor P: I think "Feel Good Ltd" is quite a good representation of us, even though it doesn't necessarily sound exactly like anything we’ve done before. It’s packed full of sounds and grooves that feel very us and it came together relatively quickly and easily, which is always a sign that a song has arrived quite organically. Flux Pavilion: The fact that it has a self-indulgent guitar solo really makes it stand out as a completely uncompromising Flux Pavilion and Doctor P track. EDM.com: In a time when so much of electronic music is driven by data and algorithms, how do you maintain that spontaneity and a sense of fun in your creative process? Doctor P: We decided very early on in the process of writing the album that we should deliberately avoid any and all thoughts about making music specifically to target streaming, radio, et cetera. We wanted to capture the sort of creative process that came naturally in a time when the commercial performance of the tracks didn’t matter and we were just focussed on being creative and having fun with the music. Flux Pavilion: Fun is the key here. Every song was written around that context. If we weren't having fun, it didn’t make the cut. If we enjoy it, we felt like that's the closest thing to guaranteeing that our fans would enjoy it too. That's all that mattered. EDM.com: Do you think electronic music, and especially dubstep, takes itself too seriously today? Has that sense of playfulness been lost, with so much emphasis on algorithm-friendly music, AI, streaming metrics and branded storytelling? Flux Pavilion: I think the fun and chaos of circa-2010 dubstep has definitely evolved away over time. I think the fading of lighthearted fun and silliness in dubstep aligns with society and music in general becoming more serious. Doctor P: We wanted to bring back some fun to the music but not in a comedic way. The artwork is a good visual representation of our goals with the music. On the surface it’s colorful and fun but when you look closer, there’s more going on that you may have originally realized. EDM.com: Could AI ever capture the chaotic magic of two friends in a studio bouncing ideas off each other? Doctor P: One thing I kept coming back to over the course of writing the album and especially when I was drawing all the artwork was the idea of "AI could never." In a time when everyone seems to be obsessed with AI I wanted to create something that could only be made by human hands and brains. EDM.com: You mention wanting to capture both drama and humor in the album. How do you craft those contrasts in your sound design? Is there a specific production technique that you lean on to create that push-and-pull? Flux Pavilion: I think the fun elements happen fairly organically. We’re not making comedy music but humor always seems to find its way into the music somehow. The drama is more deliberate as it can be a tricky thing to craft. Doctor P: You’re basically trying to control people's emotions with noise, which is a strange art form to perfect. Luckily Josh is extremely good at capturing emotions in sound, so the dramatic parts of the album came together more successfully than I think they do when I make music alone. EDM.com: Your message behind this album is about embracing both the serious and the silly in music. Has there ever been a time when the industry pressured you to be just one or the other? How did you navigate that? Doctor P: Back in the early days of my career when I went from a bedroom producer to a "real" producer and touring DJ, there was a sudden feeling that the music was more serious and important than before because peoples' jobs were suddenly on the line. That took away some of the fun of the music for a while but I eventually learned to move past it and recapture the original feeling of the music. Flux Pavilion: I feel like this could probably be another interview all on its own. We’ve been around a while now and the tapestry of the industry has changed so much, let alone our personal goals. Though I think deep down we've both stuck to this general attitude of serious and silly all at once. View the original article to see embedded media. EDM.com: Every artist has a moment where they take a creative risk that makes them nervous. What’s the riskiest decision you made on this album, and how did it pay off? Doctor P: "Hot Piss" is not a piece of music that I would not have created for anything other than this album. I don't think either me or Josh would be bold enough to make a song like that on our own, but we both kept encouraging each other to keep going with the weirdness and we ended up with a very strange but interesting song as a result. Flux Pavilion: We started by making completely atonal noises as an experiment to see if we could create a coherent piece of music from pure chaos. EDM.com: Dubstep has gone through many cycles: its explosive rise in South London, the American brostep wave, today's 140 resurgence. Where do you see the genre heading now? Doctor P: People have been regularly telling me dubstep is dying since about 2010 but at this point in time I think we can be pretty confident it's not going to die anytime soon. I think dubstep will continue to evolve as all music does. Dubstep has become more than just one genre. Flux Pavilion: It’s really a whole category of bass music that loosely fits under one umbrella term so I'm sure it will continue to branch out more and more. As long as people are making good music it will always continue to exist. EDM.com: If this album is a full-circle moment, what's the next evolution for Flux Pavilion and Doctor P? Doctor P: I feel personally like this album is a bit of a reset. A few of the half finished songs I had lying around have ended up on the album so everything I’m going to release after has been created from scratch very recently. Working on so much music with Josh has also been quite an interesting learning experience so I feel like I’ve learned a few new things, which will probably influence the music I'm working on now. Flux Pavilion: Next step for me is finish up a couple of remixes I’ve promised and then get Fluxiverse Volume 3 together. We’re just working with our team to get a Doctor P and Flux Pavilion tour sorted. I think we’ll be talking about that properly very, very soon. EDM.com: Tell us about your big Ultra Music Festival performance on March 30th. Are there any innovative ways you're planning on entwining the album in your set, or any special moments for which attendees should keep an eye out? Doctor P: I've had the Ultra set in the back of my mind for a while so I’ve been stowing away ideas every time I do a DJ set. We haven’t meticulously planned the set but we've both got some interesting mixes to pull out. I don’t like planning sets in too much detail as it’s more fun to read the crowd and play off their reactions. Flux Pavilion: Doctor P and Flux Pavilion b2b sets are a part of Ultra folklore. I can’t wait to get out there and write this next chapter!

A design coming straight from the desert The earplugs have a unique gradient design that features warm desert colors like soft peach and dreamy blue.

The Italian’s Moodfamily release brings us his take on soul, jazz and blues from the dungeons of Berlin.

Download In this EP Luca is stepping out of his comfort zone, ripping through the seams of downtempo safety nets and into the uncharted waters of a career’s next level. It’s bold. It’s raw. It’s the sound of an artist refusing to stand still. “I worked on these tracks early in 2024,” Luca says, “and spent the summer road-testing them across Europe—clubs, festivals, wherever the music could speak. The feedback shaped the final version of each song, turning good ideas into great ones.” You can hear it in the details. Each beat is a story. Each melody, a confession. Luca has been diligent during recent performances at Fusion Festival and Poland’s Summer Contrast Festival alongside Christian Löffler, Oliver Koletzki, Out of Orbit, and Dubfire. While he has also grow a reputation for being dialed in at clubs such as Kater and Beate Uwe. Luca is not the type to sit back and ride on yesterday’s successes. He’s ditching the comfort of slow-house, shaking off the safety net, and diving headfirst into the unknown. It’s raw, it’s risky, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.

Their label and the Moodcast has become a gathering place for friends to bond over their selection of well produced soft, deep, organic and progressive house records that bring elegant energy and authentic sonic explorations. Here is Luca Musto’s Moodcast to send you on your way.

Messages sent in secret on social media by two of the biggest names in dance music have sparked a lot of rumors about possible cooperation between these two titans. The electronic music community is excited because Insomniac Events and Tomorrowland look like they will break down barriers between continents and change the event scene forever. When Insomniac Events, North America’s biggest festival company and owner of EDC Las Vegas, Hard Summer, and Beyond Wonderland, shared a stunning picture of Tomorrowland’s famous logo lit up by drones against the night sky above the legendary mainstage at the Belgian festival, everyone in the dance music world got heart palpitations. The caption “Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever“—Tomorrowland’s spiritual mantra—shook social media and started a firestorm of ideas and dreams. Answering this ethereal call from across the Atlantic, Tomorrowland responded with the same mysterious energy by posting Insomniac’s butterfly logo along with the powerful phrase “All Are Welcome Here.” These timed messages haven’t just led to speculation; they’ve caused a culture earthquake in the dance community around the world. The evidence doesn’t just point to a possibility; it points to a likelihood. These aren’t casual conversations on social media; they’re carefully planned messages coming from the top of both companies. What we’re seeing is probably just the beginning of a symphony of creative works between some of the most innovative people in dance music. The most exciting idea is about the return of TomorrowWorld, Tomorrowland’s American version that shut down after its troubled 2015 Georgia edition left thousands of people stuck in mud and chaos during heavy rain. Because Insomniac has the best infrastructure and operational knowledge in North America, the conditions are right for TomorrowWorld to come back and win, this time with the help of good domestic logistics mastery. Another interesting idea is for Tomorrowland’s stunning set designs to show up at Insomniac events, while EDC’s cutting-edge tech moves to Belgium. This cultural exchange would allow festivals that were once seen as rivals to share their artistic DNA in a way that has never been done before. The most ambitious rumors are about a brand-new festival idea that takes the best parts of both names and makes something completely new. Imagine Tomorrowland’s mythological stories and high-end dramatic production values coming together with Insomniac’s cutting-edge technology and wide range of musical selections. Even though official news hasn’t come out yet, people who like electronic music are now very excited. No matter what form this partnership takes, it will definitely change the future of festival culture. The timing of these social media posts makes it seem more like they were meant to be together than just an accident. It looks like someone is planning to reveal something big that is coming up. The post Insomniac and Tomorrowland tease new collaboration appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

After more than ten years, speculation is running wild about a potential new U.S. festival from the creators of Tomorrowland. The Belgian festival recently shared an image of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) on its social media, while EDC and its parent company, Insomniac Events, posted a picture of Tomorrowland in return. While many fans immediately assumed that this meant the return of TomorrowWorld, sources close to the matter have hinted that this is not the case. Instead, something entirely new may be in the works—potentially a fresh collaboration between Tomorrowland and Insomniac Events, the powerhouse behind EDC, Beyond Wonderland, Nocturnal Wonderland, and Escape Halloween. TomorrowWorld was the American edition of Tomorrowland, which took place in the U.S. but was short-lived due to the collapse of SFX Entertainment. Despite its ambitious vision, the festival only lasted two editions, with the final event in 2015 ending in disaster after heavy storms turned the venue into an impassable mud field, stranding thousands of attendees. This cryptic teaser has already sent the dance music world abuzz, and an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks. Whatever it is, something big is on the horizon. Stay tuned! The post Tomorrowland & Insomniac Tease New Collaboration Between the 2 Festival Giants appeared first on EDMTunes.

In the past hour, Insomniac and Tomorrowland have sent waves through the electronic dance music community with their cryptic Instagram posts. The 2 festival giants shared each other’s mainstage photos, swapping taglines in their captions that sparked major rumors and intrigue among fans worldwide. While the posts don’t explicitly reveal any concrete plans, the unusual collaboration has left fans guessing: Is a merger in the works? Could this be the beginning of a major partnership, or is something even bigger on the horizon? One possibility that’s really gaining traction is the revival of TomorrowWorld. TomorrowWorld was a US based spinoff of the world famous Tomorrowland and took place annually from 2013 to 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. Though the festival initially saw success, it was plagued by unpredictable weather resulting in significant production damage, financial losses, and the eventual cancellation of the event. Since the last edition in 2015, fans have eagerly awaited TomorrowWorld’s return to the United States. As speculation continues, we’re keeping an eye on any new developments. Could TomorrowWorld be making a comeback? Or is something entirely different on the way? Stay tuned for updates as we continue to gather more information. What do you think this collaboration means for the future of these two festivals?
