If you've ever considered what the force of magnets sound like, Stacco has the answer. This innovative instrument turns magnetic attraction and repulsion into a matrix of electronic sounds that's as unpredictable as it would seem. At its core, the innovative device utilizes an interface embedded with magnetometers to attract and repel magnetic spheres, turning their movements into sound. As these spheres dance and shift across the instrument’s surface, Stacco captures the changes in magnetic fields before translating them into audible form. What sets Stacco apart is its ability to merge human creativity with the spontaneous nature of magnetic interactions. It allows for a balance of user control while maintaining the understandably unexpected outcomes that come from fluctuating magnetic forces. Moreover, Stacco has been designed to work hand-in-hand with neural synthesis models. By navigating through its intricate control parameters, musicians can explore a vast range of sonic spaces, allowing them to create music that varies between structured and entirely exploratory. To inform the users' musical journey using the device, it comes with graphical scores, which function as a map to the potential sounds the neural synthesizer can produce. In a recent performance titled "Magnetologues" at Zurich's Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology, two Stacco instruments were used to showcase their versatility in a live setting. The result was a performance that offers a stereo-rendered glimpse into the infinite possibilities of the device's sound. Whether it’s creating sharp, distorted tones or long, drawn-out waves, Stacco proves that music isn’t just about notes and rhythms—sometimes, it's about harnessing the unseen forces of nature to push the boundaries of creativity. Check out a demonstration of the instrument below, courtesy of Giacomo Lepri's YouTube channel.

As both an icon and a trailblazer in the world of electronic dance music, Kaskade has some fascinating stories and insights from his three decades in the music industry. Just before his headlining "Redux" set at Nashville's Deep Tropics festival, we caught up with the electronic music superstar, whose real name is Ryan Raddon, for an interview on the current state of the dance music scene. He's humbly snacking on Sour Patch Kids in his trailer as we sit down to chat. Raddon has long-positioned himself at the vanguard of live performance, a reputation that reached new heights in February after his historic performance as the Super Bowl's first in-game DJ. With so much major experience under his belt, we were curious to hear his thoughts about what makes a great music festival. "There’s a lot of good festivals out there, and only a handful of great festivals," he tells us. "I think stage is a big deal, location and ambiance. I mean, that already is half the battle. If you’re sitting at downtown and you have the skyline, like Lollapalooza Chicago, every picture you see from there, you’re like, 'This is insane!' That already is ahead. So you need top-level production and a great location." When traveling for festivals and shows, the chart-topping producer says he always seeks out local food to get a taste of a city's authentic culture. One thing that only his tour manager knows about him is that there's certain hotels he simply can't stand while traveling. Kaskade's tour manager laughs in agreement off-camera. Kaskade.Brian Rapaport/EDM.com When it comes to the music, Raddon recounts experiences of being thrown out of establishments back in the day for blaring his tracks. Now, performing at major festivals and high-flying Las Vegas DJ residencies, he doesn't have to worry much about the volume. "I’ve had so many noise complaints throughout the years," Raddon says. "I've had to move before, I’ve been kicked out of apartments and I’ve been kicked out of studio spaces." But that wasn't the craziest thing to happen. "In college, I was throwing a massive party," he recalls. "We had so many people, it was on the second floor, and we cracked the floor... our ceiling was going to cave in." Kaskade.c/o Press Once Kaskade's career started to skyrocket, he says he didn't go crazy with lavish purchases or big shopping sprees—although he did go on to buy "a nice car." He does, however, vividly remember the moment he collected his first big paycheck from music. "I remember I laid the two checks out on my kitchen counter and I took a picture of them," he says. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I’m actually making money doing this!' When I did one of my biggest Vegas deals, I signed the lease shortly after that for my studio in Los Angeles, in Santa Monica. That was a big deal because it was a very big purchase, and not really like me, but it’s been awesome. I’ve been there for seven years and I love it." We were also curious to hear what Kaskade would do for work, had he not followed his path as a DJ. "If I wasn’t out performing every weekend, I’d be writing and producing music for other people, which I did a little bit before my career took off," he explains. "I’d still be doing something music-related." Kaskade's "Redux" set at Deep Tropics was the unquestioned highlight of Deep Tropics' first day. The dazzling Nashville festival took place August 16-17.

A luminary of sound design, Virtual Riot's name has always been synonymous with his virtuosic dedication to the craft of electronic music production. But in a recent podcast conversation, he showed a different side of himself, one that’s just as inspiring as his otherworldly tracks. Speaking with SlamCast, Virtual Riot opened up about the transformative impact of sobriety on his life and career, sharing his journey from living in Los Angeles to teaching advanced music production and embracing a cleaner lifestyle. Living in LA for eight years, Virtual Riot admits he had every excuse to party to excess. But everything changed after a stint in rehab, which was the turning point, he says, that led him to sobriety. His first performance after this life-altering decision was at the 2023 Electric Forest festival, where he stepped onstage with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. Since then, he has embraced a sober lifestyle, something he says has not dampened his creativity in the slightest. In fact, Virtual Riot notes that staying sober has strengthened his sense of discipline and helped him connect more deeply with his craft. He likens going sober as a DJ to exposure therapy because you can't control what others are doing at your shows, but it provides a situational mechanism for building your own sense of discipline. "I'd say that sometimes, Virtual Riot says he's also found support in a familiar cohort of high-profile DJs who have embraced sobriety, like Ghastly, Barely Alive and Steve Aoki, providing him with a professional network that understands his journey. He emphasized the importance of self-awareness and personal choice when it comes to sobriety. "Everyone has enough conscience—enough of a moral compass to know if what you're doing is good for you or not," he said. "It's just about listening to that."

There has been another sad loss to the Brooklyn dance community this past month. Last year, 2 men were found dead in a creek near the Brooklyn Mirage. Both men were 27 years old. This summer’s tragedy is eerily similar to two other deaths and many are wondering if they are all connected. Damani Alexander, 30, attended the Knockdown Center on July 28, but his body was found in the waters of Newtown Creek two days later, according to his mother, Desiree Nicholson. Details about Alexander’s final hours remain unclear. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause of death, and the NYPD is still investigating how and when he ended up in the creek. Nicholson shared that detectives initially informed her that her son likely didn’t drown, as there were no signs of trauma on his body. The family’s shock is palpable as they struggle to understand what led to Alexander’s death. Nicholson also revealed that her son had confided in a friend on July 28, expressing fear for his safety before he was found dead. Investigators returned his wallet, but his phone remains missing. Alexander’s death comes a year after two other young men, John Castic and Karl Clemente, were also found dead in Newtown Creek, just over a month apart. Both had disappeared after leaving the Brooklyn Mirage. Clemente’s death was ruled an accidental drowning, while Castic’s was also determined to be a drowning, with no signs of foul play, according to his father. These tragic incidents have sparked discussions about the safety of nightlife venues around Newtown Creek. The creek’s surrounding area, particularly in East Williamsburg and Queens, is primarily industrial, with limited foot traffic at night, aside from those attending nightlife venues.

A settlement has been reached in Los Angeles between the State of California and leading ticket reseller StubHub. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, and events were canceled, San Francisco based StubHub changed its FanProtect Guarantee. Instead of providing full cash refunds, as advertised at the time, it began offering credits that could be used for future events. Thus, California Department of Justice investigation found the San Francisco-based company failed to issue timely refunds for canceled events during the pandemic, according to a statement by the state attorney general’s office. “By failing to issue full cash refunds for canceled events during the pandemic, StubHub not only violated its advertised policy but also violated the trust of its consumers,” — Attorney General Bonta Following the start of the investigation, StubHub reversed course and began issuing cash refunds in May 2021, distributing $20 million to 45,000 California consumers since. The settlement includes restitution and a $295,000 penalty. It also requires StubHub to abide by the UCL and other consumer protection laws, including not violating California laws specific to event ticket sales.

MORTEN is recovering after his immune system shut down following a performance, the DJ announced today. In a post shared to Instagram, the Danish electronic music star said his health "took a turn" when his body started shaking after a performance on August 18th. He needed to be airlifted by helicopter to the Mediterraneo Hospital in Athens, where he ultimately stayed for a period of five days. MORTEN, who says his "immune system was basically at zero," contracted Astrovirus, a common form of stomach flu, and an E. coli bacteria infection, which can cause diarrhea, pneumonia, sepsis, urinary tract diseases and other illnesses. The severity of his condition has led him to cancel scheduled performances for the first time in his career. MORTEN in the month of August had performed in Spain, Malta, France and Austria, among other countries. He's also been traveling to the island of Ibiza for DJ sets alongside David Guetta every Friday at the famed Hï club, where the duo holds a "Future Rave" residency. "Despite having a healthy diet and working out every day, touring so much and an accumulated lack of sleep will hit you at one point," he wrote. "I was diagnosed with Epec and Astrovirus and needed to take some time off to recover, which unfortunately also means I had to cancel shows for the first time in my career.

This is certainly better than the time Apple forced a U2 album on everyone's iPhones. The latest series from Twenty Thousand Hertz, a podcast that shares the stories behind some of the world's most iconic sounds, focuses on the sounds featured in Apple's products like the iPhone and Apple Watch. And in one particularly illuminating episode, the podcast revealed that two ringtones released in 2019 were secretly created by Flying Lotus. Released in 2019 as a part of iOS 13, Flying Lotus' ringtones "Daybreak" and "Chalet" have been available to all iPhone users. The influential producer recalled how he was surprised at the offer initially, but prepared considering he'd made custom ringtones for himself in the past. He described the sounds as nostalgic and "a bit ambient," but strong enough to galvanize you to check your phone without being harsh.
