SoundCloud's new store is changing the merch landscape for artists, who all-too-often suffer financial losses when hidden fees cut into their profits. A selection of SoundCloud Next Pro artists now have the opportunity to sell exclusive merchandise while keeping 100% of their profits, the company announced this week. The shop, which is currently in beta, eschews all inventory and storage fees as well as upfront and hidden costs so artists can design and sell exclusive merchandise, retaining 100% of the profits. How does it work? Artists send their merch designs to the SoundCloud Store to be mocked up, manufactured and sold. Each item, from apparel to exclusive vinyl and accessories and more, is made-to-order with immediate shipping, per SoundCloud. Artists also retain their merch rights with the ability to sell merch elsewhere, but within the Soundcloud Store, their products remain exclusive only during the drop. Plus, fans are notified when merch drops via emails and in-app notifications. "Our data shows that fans are most engaged when you release a new track," per SoundCloud. "By dropping merch with SoundCloud, we’ll help amplify the reach of your latest release and promote merch to your fanbase when they’re most engaged, all using our in-house notification capabilities." A select few artists currently have merch available via the new SoundCloud Store, including Wiz Khalifa and Denzel Curry, among others. Next Pro artists can now apply to sell their merch. You can shop the SoundCloud Store and find out more here.

Spooky season is arriving early this year, thanks to ATLiens. Their new track, "Be Your Ghost," fearlessly leans into a sinister theme. The beloved bass music duo fittingly teamed up with vocalist Roniit, the self-described "dark pop sorceress," who is fresh off the release of her third album, Ephemeral. Her eerie yet inviting vocals melt into ATLiens' heavy-hitting bass elements to deliver a haunting banger. The duo's otherworldly melodies churn underneath before building into a stomping bass drop, which doubles as a full-blown sound design showcase of their signature style. In other ATLiens news, they recently announced a big show in Minneapolis at the famed Armory with special guest Flosstradamus, among others. Their biggest headlining performance to date will then unfold in their hometown of Atlanta in February 2025. Listen to "Be Your Ghost" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

Burning Man tickets have been notoriously difficult to secure, but it's failed to sell out for the first time in a decade, The Guardian reports. Organizers on July 31st released 3,000 last-minute tickets in an "unprecedented" move they dubbed the "OMG Sale." As of Tuesday, less than two weeks before the event's start in the Nevada desert, tickets remain available. Scheduled for August 25th to September 2nd with a capacity of 73,000, this year's Burning Man in Black Rock City marks its 38th edition. "Adjusting 2024 ticket sales to reflect recent trends around the world that show last minute ticket buying, and continuing to sell tickets until the maximum Black Rock City population count is reached, encourages immediacy and makes it easy for more people to immerse themselves at the heart of the global Burning Man cultural movement," Dominique Debucquoy-Dodley, Associate Director Of Communications at Burning Man Project, told The Guardian. Economic uncertainty and high cost of living could be factors, as well as concerns over the weather. After torrential rains ravaged the playa and left thousands stranded in 2023, it's fair to wonder if the extreme conditions scared folks away this year. Back in 2022, Burners struggled with sweltering temperatures up to 105°. From a financial standpoint, it can be a daunting task to get to Black Rock City every year. While tickets start at $575, with low-income options available, many spend significantly more just to get to the event, let alone funding art projects and participating in themed camps. Burning Man tickets are available here. Follow Burning Man:X: x.com/burningman Instagram: instagram.com/burningman Facebook: facebook.com/burningman

Sending best recovery wishes to Matt McBriar of BICEP! In late 2023, Matt began experiencing intense localized headaches and unusual fatigue. Blood test taken from this Spring revealed a “large, and pretty rare Craniopharyngioma tumour on my pituitary gland”. Fortunately, it’s not cancerous and was detected early, preventing potential damage to his eyesight and other problems. He underwent successful surgery on August 9th and is now recovering in the hospital! Recovery will take about 6-8 weeks with some monitoring after that timeframe has passed. In the meantime, Andy Ferguson, the other member of BICEP, will continue performing while Matt recovers. The post BICEP’s Matt McBriar Undergoes Surgery for Brain Tumor appeared first on EDMTunes.

While Google remains a monopoly in terms of search engine, it has battled both Apple and Samsung in technology since the beginning of smartphones. Will the tide turn around after Google’s latest announcement? The macro company revealed a new series of Pixel devices on Made by Google’s Hardware event. The category is choices! The new Pixel 9 smartphones come in 4 different sizes, besides two different Pixel 3 Watches and Pixel Buds Pro 2. Not Just Hardware Multiple announcements took place on this event. This includes new softwares powered by Google’s Gemini large language models. It seems like the company wanted to get a head start from the holiday rush and enjoy the spotlight before Apple announces the new iPhone 16 during their yearly September event. Pixel 9 Series The new models offer a wide array of options, from the Pixel 9, to a smaller Pixel 9 Pro or the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL. The phones also include stylistic changes including a pill-shaped elongated bar for the back camera. How demure! The front camera includes smaller bezels around it as well. In terms of durability, Google claims this phones are twice as durable as the Pixel 8 series, wrapped in shatter-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus 2. These devices make an ecological statement using a 100% recyclable aluminum fram, versus the titanium used on the iPhone 15 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The charging seems to be boosted as well with 20% more durability to the Pixel 8 counterparts. However, they do not support the fast wireless charging Qi2, so the slower Qi wireless charging will do. The Pixel 9 enjoys the power from the Tensor G4 processor with 12GB of RAM. However, the Pro model has 16GB. Google explains that the processor is 20% faster and app launching improved by 17%. On another note, the phones are designed to store large language models on device, a first. Specifically, they are made to run the Gemini Nano with multimodality. AI is taking over! As this will not only support text, but speech, images, audio, and live chat with the Gemini bot for real-time voice conversations. Pixel 9 Vs Pixel 9 Pro According to Google, the biggest difference between the regular model and the pro model is the camera quality and the optical quality zoom that the Pro devices offer, up to 10x the zoom in power. The claims dig further into the autofocus sensor improvement on the Pro models and 30% better light sensitivity. Do you think it’s worth it? The public will need to test out the claims for sure. Both phones will receive updates every 7 years. Moreover, Google claims buyers from the Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL will get a full year of the Google One AI Premium Plan for free. This, includes 2 terabytes of cloud storage and access to Gemini Advanced. Pixel 9 costs $799 while the Pro costs $999 and the XL version is $100 more. Interestingly enough, the devices run with Android 14 instead of 15. Pixel 9 Pro Fold The 8 inch foldable phone is optimized to run apps smoothly, with all the perks its pro sibling has. The internal screen is also brighter than past series of the Fold phones. Furthermore, Google made it a point that the Pixel 9 Pro fold is super thin, and weights less than the original Pixel Fold, skinny legend! However, the camera lacks the prowess of the Pixel 9 Pro single screen siblings. The Fold costs an astonishing $1799, which includes a $300 store credit and a free year with Google One AI Premium Plan. New Apps and Services The new Pixel 9 series enjoys the power of running with AI, this includes how you interact with the apps, and how the AI reads the information so you don’t have to scroll endlessly to find what you need. New apps include the weather app, screenshots app, studio apps for creating AI images, and “Call notes”. The Pixel 9 models will be the first Androids with the Satellite SOS, which finds your emergency contacts through Satellite when you’re away from wi-fi or a cell tower. Regardless, the service requires separate purchase and will only work in the US for now. Pixel Watch 3 Now you can get a 41mm or 45mm Pixel Watch! These watches enjoy some of the brightest screens in the industry, but can go as low as 1 nit. The watches continue the 24-hour battery life trend with permament display, and 20% faster charging from past models. The watch connects to live camera feeds from other google devices in your home and improve camera usage with your Pixel Phone. The watch also has several fitness usages for tracking your progress. The watch can also assess your form while sensing your movement and learning from the machines and exercises you do. The larger watch is $399 with wi-fi or $499 with LTE, while the smaller watch is $50 less. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 The new buds seem to the an expansion of the 1st ones. More silencing power, lighter, and AI powered voluem change that detects when you’re speaking. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are definitely the way to go for Android devices. The buds will go on sale for $229. What do we think? Now that AI is taking over technology in dystopian fashion, should we get the XL or the smaller one?

Coaxing even the most reluctant souls to embrace the highs of the weekend, The Blessed Madonna has joined forces with dance-pop icon Kylie Minogue for a new single, "Edge Of Saturday Night." The track is an invocation of the timeless thrill that comes with shedding the week's burdens and dancing into the freedom of the night. The dazzling collaboration, announced with palpable excitement by both artists in a candid Instagram post following its debut at Ibiza's Circoloco, blends radiant pop sensibility with a heartbeat of uplifting house music. The track opens with bright, twangy pluck synths that dance like fireflies in the dusk, setting the stage for a night brimming with promise. Minogue's voice glides in with the poetic declaration, "Monday doesn't matter at all," a line that instantly grounds us in the song's ethos: living for the weekend, cutting loose and making the most of the present moment. As the track unfolds, pirouetting piano chords cascade through the mix, perfectly complementing Minogue’s concise and articulate lyrical delivery. Meanwhile, The Blessed Madonna's bubbling house production ebbs and flows with life, its effervescent rhythms beckoning us to live in the moment. The show-stopping collaboration is not just a metaphorical victory over the past, but also a harbinger of what's to come as The Blessed Madonna stands poised to unveil her debut album, Godspeed. Due out on October 11th, the album comprises 24 tracks and includes collaborations with A-Trak, Joy Anonymous and house music icon Jamie Principle, among others. "Godspeed: the word marks the beginning of a journey and sometimes the end of one," The Blessed Madonna said in a statement. "After nearly a year in lockdown, when I signed the paperwork and knew that I was going to be allowed to make this album, I called my dad in Kentucky to tell him the good news. He could not contain his pride and in a way his relief. I was going to be ok. He says it better than I do at the beginning of the record. I lost him suddenly just weeks before the first session, but his voice will live in Godspeed forever and make a million more journeys to everyone who hears it."

Grammy-nominated vocalist HALIENE has unveiled her latest solo single, ‘Memory Of You.’ The track showcases her powerful vocals against a backdrop of melodic bass, exploring the bittersweet emotions of a past relationship. This marks HALIENE’s first solo original release on Ophelia Records. The single was debuted at the Lost in Dreams festival in Los Angeles, marking a significant milestone in her career. Collaborating with fellow singer-songwriter Annika Wells, HALIENE crafted poignant lyrics that delve into the complexities of nostalgia and heartbreak. The song’s production features a captivating blend of melodic elements and driving beats, creating a sonic landscape that perfectly complements the emotional depth of the lyrics. Here’s what HALIENE had to say about the track: “The song explores the juxtaposition of a nostalgic picture of a fading relationship with the chilling reality of waking up to its failure. How does one let go of something that your heart wants to hold onto? Sometimes, the memory of it all lives more fondly in the mind than the reality of what it actually was. That fact, once realized, becomes a powerful and positive means of liberation. We can make the intentional choice to frame our memories of the person in love and not hurt, even when there’s not much that’s genuine to hold onto. It expresses a profound way of releasing and meaningfully crystallizing, even a painful past in love to move on and let go.” Known for her collaborations with dance music titans like Armin van Buuren, Illenium, and Gareth Emery, HALIENE has established herself as a leading voice in the electronic music scene. Evolving beyond collaborations, HALIENE has solidified herself as a genre-defying solo artist, seamlessly bridging the gap between poetic lyricism and melodic dance music. Her releases boast millions of streams, crafting some of the most iconic melodies within the dance music landscape. Acclaimed for chart-topping singles and energetic live shows, HALIENE has soared to superstar status within the industry. Her debut album “Heavenly,” garnered strong radio support and multiple sold-out stops across her branded solo tours. From Australia to Europe, Mexico to Canada, her performances have electrified fans across the world.

Quite the stellar combination this one. The Italian project, which consists of Andrea Di Ceglie and Luigi Tutolo, released a new remix today. This remix is exactly what you need to get over the mid-week hump. ‘Nothing Ever Changes – Agents Of Time Remix‘ is out today. A staple name inside the melodic techno scene, Agents of Time appear to have made a great choice on this remix. The sound that has defined Vintage Culture’s latest years could very well be called a combination of melodic and tech house. Led by rolling basses, big synths, and ethereal vocals, it’s all a big recipe for an ideal melodic techno remix. Nothing Ever Changes: Melodic Techno Edition An outstanding remix. Led by a beautiful synth, perfectly paired up with the vocals provided by MAGNUS. Yet another great job by what’s becoming one of our favorite Italian duos. Agents of Time are one of the few artists who’ve managed to maintain a groove while not letting go of the grandiose feeling melodic techno tracks have. This makes their releases some of the most enjoyable out there. With their new take on Vintage Culture’s latest track, the duo behind some of the biggest hits in Afterlife and other huge melodic techno labels brings a mainstage version that could easily do as the closing track for any festival set. An unreal, goosebumps-giving track, and one of our favorite releases of the month. A great remix, and one that will most definitely take over the last stretch of the festival season. A season filled with exciting releases and unreal remixes. Stream Nothing Ever Changes – Agents of Time Remix, by Vintage Culture, featuring MAGNUS out now everywhere! Let us know what you think of this new remix! Do you like it, or do you prefer the original version?

Elements Music Festival has my heart after this year’s edition. I cannot say enough good things about this festival and it is amazing to see a great festival in the Northeast once again. If you are from this region, you know we do not have much. And what we do have gets taken away from us. We usually have to go to great lengths and travel on a plane for an amazing experience. After my first Elements, I can confidently say I will be back year after year. Now Elements has been around for many years but I never could make the trip to Pennsylvania. It has expanded year after year in both its lineup and size. It sits roughly 2 hours away from both NYC and Philadelphia. The festival is situated next to the Poconos Raceway in the middle of the forest allowing them to go late into the night. And the afters go late into the morning (prepare yourself for sunrise sets)! This weekend was special in many ways. I met some of the most lovely people and feel we will be friends for years to come. Hurricane Debby tried to bring us down the first 2 days but the ravers united for an incredible last 2 days filled with sunshine and love. As for the festival grounds, there were 4 beautiful stages of music. They represented all the elements of life Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. Elements Music Festival features dance music and its culture at its finest. You will have a new family at the end and be ready to do it all again. Courtesy of Elements Festival // Yvonne G (@yvonnegphotos) The Grounds Tucked away in the Pennsylvania forest, Elements sits right next to Poconos Raceway in Long Pond. The location could not be more perfect. Elements has a very unique twist on camping called Vibe Villages. They do have Glamping and GA Camping as well. But what makes Vibe Villages stand out is the after-parties. If you can get a group of 10+ people the festival will establish a zone for you to set up your camp. I was fortunate to be in a 40-person (shoutout to Chaos Council) camp which allowed us to have ample room for activities, hanging, and sleeping. But back to the afters. The festival will sanction some of the camps to build stages for afters and play from right after the festival ends to sunrise. These stages are impressive! Walking around the campsite you will be in awe that they are built by the community just looking to keep the party going. In addition, there are art cars that roam around allowing people to hop on and off and enjoy music on the move. This unique feature maybe Elements stand out from any other fest I have been to so far. Courtesy of Elements Festival // Andrew (@ajrphotos) The Stages and Artists I thoroughly enjoyed all 4 official stages within the fest plus all the mini ones. The Fire stage was the main stage so to speak holding the most amount of people. It had fire exploding out of it at all times and an impressive fireworks show every night. It also had this really cool fire tent to warm people up when it got a tad chilly at night. Fire Stage featured primarily House with Chris Lake B2B Cloonee, Dr.Fresch, Fly With Us (AC Slater and Chris Lorenzo), Walker & Royce, and so many others rocking the stage. My favorite sets of the weekend happened here with Chris Lake and Cloonee having me move for 2+ hours. The next biggest stage was Earth which featured all the Bass music you needed + live bands. Excision, Subtronics, LSDream, The Floozies, and others had the festival thrusting and bending their minds. The Earth had the best visuals out of any stage with its trippy outlines and multitude of lasers. The water stage was the most impressive design in the shape of an octopus. At night it came to life with lasers shooting out of its eyes. It featured a diverse lineup across Bass, DnB, and Techno. Subtronics (sunset), Sub Focus, Dimension, and Sara Landry graced this stage and had the people moving. Dimension was my 2nd favorite set of the weekend and could not recommend him more. Finally, the Air stage was by far the coolest one. It is built right into the forest as a Pagoda. It has tree houses surrounding the area allowing lucky enough attendees to get a bird’s eye view. Bob Moses, It’s Murph, Township Rebellion, and Slander (Before Dawn) had the forest dancing all night long. Courtesy of Elements Festival // Lo Morell (@laurenmorell) The Food I don’t usually comment on the food at a festival because it tends to be subpar, but man Elements had the best festival food I have ever had. It wasn’t terribly pricey and they had an incredible amount of options for both meat eaters like myself and vegetarians. There were unique options from Birria Quesadillas to chicken and waffles to huge flavorful wraps. I rarely ever waited in line to long either. Also, there were a ton of water stations!! You can never have enough water stations and I was so happy to see this. Courtesy of Elements Festival // Andrew (@ajrphotos) The Community and Concluding Thoughts As stated before, I met some of the loveliest people of my life at Elements. Everyone was beyond nice and I didn’t see a hint of negativity or fights throughout the festival. This is also coming right after Hurricane Debby straight-up ruined the first 2 days of the fest (along with my tent and canopy lol). That did not keep anyone down, people still went hard and shared love it all. Hugs were everywhere and random compliments were of plenty. The afterglow from Elements was as real as it gets. There is no question I will be back at Long Pond next year and hopefully up there playing as well. While Elements is not officially the best festival in the northeast (for now) I have declared the honor in my view. I know it will keep getting bigger and bigger and attracting talent and ravers from around the world. Till next year Elements, thanks for making me a happy boy 🙂 Courtesy of Elements Festival // Lo Morell (@laurenmorell) The post Elements Becomes Best Festival In Northeast After 2024 Edition appeared first on EDMTunes.

HARD Summer 2024, held at the Hollywood Park Complex in SoFi Stadium, attracted thousands of electronic music fans with performances from top acts like Disclosure, Major Lazer, and Sofi Tukker. However, the event also sparked a wave of noise complaints from residents, including those as far as El Segundo, prompting swift action from Inglewood city officials. Mayor James T. Butts Jr. responded quickly to the complaints, noting that the noise issues began during soundchecks on August 2. Unlike previous concerts at the venue, this event caused significant disturbances due to specific bass frequencies. After investigating, city officials identified these frequencies as the primary cause of the excessive noise and vibrations that affected the community. As a result, Mayor Butts decided to ban future events from setting up stages in the American Airlines Plaza, which was the main source of the problem. He stressed the need for stricter sound management and engineering to avoid similar issues in the future. To address the situation during the festival, the city implemented several adjustments, including deploying additional sound engineers to manage noise levels in real time. These efforts led to a significant reduction in complaints by the second day of the event. Moving forward, Inglewood plans to enforce stricter monitoring and sound-level controls to protect the surrounding community during future events. Be sure to check out our in-depth review of Hard Summer 2024, here. [H/T] – Uproxx The post Inglewood Mayor Cracks Down on Loud Events After HARD Summer Complaints appeared first on EDMTunes.

Moog Music has announced the release of Labyrinth, a semi-modular analogue synthesizer designed to inspire and elevate musical creativity through an endless journey of sonic rabbit holes. Departing from traditional Moog instruments, Labyrinth introduces a new voice architecture with unique oscillators, a different filter topology, wave folding, and parallel processing. This innovative design also features unique dual intertwining generative sequencers to help inspire new compositional ideas. As part of Moog’s semi-modular family, Labyrinth stands out as a unique tool for auditory exploration. Its dual generative sequencers and parallel voice architecture enable the creation of evolving soundscapes and intricate polymetric melodies. More than just an instrument, Labyrinth is an idea machine, offering limitless sonic potential that adapts to both live performances and studio sessions. In a compact 60HP format, Labyrinth excels both as a standalone synthesizer and an integral part of larger Eurorack setups. Its flexible architecture allows musicians to add colour and depth to any musical arrangement, from ambient soundscapes to dynamic rhythmic patterns. The instrument’s patch bay facilitates extensive modulation and connectivity with other modular gear, making it a versatile addition to any setup. From Percussive Inspiration to Generative Innovation Inspired by classic percussion synthesizers and modern generative techniques, Labyrinth combines a newly designed voltage-controlled wave folder with a state-variable filter, allowing for both additive and subtractive synthesis. This approach enables users to create rich, evolving textures and dynamic sequences. The dual sequencers, inspired by shift register sequences commonly found in Eurorack systems, offer intuitive and flexible control over melodic and rhythmic patterns. “Labyrinth is designed to be an engine of sonic exploration. It allows users to create evolving sequences and rich timbres. It’s like having a compositional companion that navigates through a labyrinth of sound, constantly reconfiguring and surprising you with new sonic landscapes,” says Moog’s Rick Carl, System Architect and Lead Hardware Engineer on Labyrinth. Key Features of Labyrinth: Dual Generative Sequencers: Construct intertwining melodies and rhythms that mutate over time, uncovering new patterns and textures. Parallel Voice Architecture: Features a unique combination of a voltage-controlled wavefolder and a state-variable filter for complex sound shaping. Comprehensive Patch Bay: Integrates seamlessly with other modular systems, offering 32 patch points for extensive modulation and routing options. Analog and MIDI Sync: Easily sync Labyrinth with other equipment using analogue clock or MIDI. The post Moog unveils Labyrinth appeared first on Decoded Magazine.
