Four Tet has returned to the studio with Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Fred again.. and more for new music on the horizon. The prolific electronic music producer this week shared demos of five unreleased tracks just a matter of months after dropping Three, his 12th studio album. While each preview is brief, fans can still get an idea of what to expect from Four Tet, who is revered for his ability to oscillate between genres with ease. The first of the five has the working title "Eye" and features a hyperactive beat that gives way to wobbly bass toward the clip's end. The second track will satisfy fans of Tet's 2020 release Sixteen Oceans, considering it's a brand-new collaboration with Ellie Goulding in a similar vein to their track "Baby" from that album. The third demo sees him assume his KH alias (the initials of his full name, Kieran Hebden), for an uplifting, vocal-driven offering with the working title "Still Falling." Fans holding their breath for a reunion with Hebden's Coachella 2023 collaborators, Fred again.. and Skrillex, will be excited to check out the fourth demo, titled "Human Voice PHM version." The fifth and final demo is the most mysterious, as Four Tet shared a screenshot of the title so zoomed out that it's impossible to decipher amidst the track's eerie keys and creeping wind instruments. Four Tet has not announced the release date of any of the demos at the time of this writing. Take a listen below.

Skrillex has transcended from a humble headliner to having an entire stage named in his honor at Lollapalooza. While the schedule and lineup for next month's festival in Chicago were known for some time now, fans were left wondering when Skrillex would take the stage. The Saturday schedule for Lollapalooza's iconic Perry's Stage was left blank with "?" in its place from open to close. Rumors quickly spread across social media that Skrillex was somehow involved, considering the lineup poster had him uniquely positioned compared to the other headliners and he was nowhere to be found on the schedule. Now, organizers have shared that Perry's Stage will transform into "Sonny's Stage" for a special curated takeover by the dubstep icon. 🔥 @SKRILLEX & FRIENDS 🔥 Where Perry's becomes Sonny's Stage all Saturday of Lolla! pic.twitter.com/gNOCpSS3Bq — Lollapalooza (@lollapalooza) July 16, 2024 Skrillex will headline the night after performances by Ahadadream, Manara, 2hollis, Dylan Brady, Kenny Beats, Nia Archives and his Coachella 2023 collaborator, Four Tet.

'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' was transmitted 254 million kilometres at light speed to reach Venus Continue reading...

In a landmark event for both music and science, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has successfully transmitted Missy Elliott’s groundbreaking 1997 single ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ into the Milky Way galaxy. Aimed at Venus, a celestial body long admired by the artist according to official statements, the song embarked on its interstellar voyage on July 12th via NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN). Traveling at the speed of light, it reached its destination – a staggering 254 million kilometers distant – in just 14 minutes. “I still can’t believe I’m going out of this world with NASA through the Deep Space Network when ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ becomes the first ever hip-hop song to transmit to space!” Elliott said in a press statement. “I chose Venus because it symbolizes strength, beauty and empowerment, and I am so humbled to have the opportunity to share my art and my message with the universe!” This historic transmission transcends mere entertainment. As stated by NASA communications director Brittany Brown, it signifies a unique convergence of artistic expression and scientific exploration, two disciplines renowned for pushing boundaries. Brown further emphasized Elliott’s longstanding affinity for space, citing the prevalence of space-age themes and futuristic visuals within her music videos. This marks only the second instance of NASA transmitting a song into deep space. In 2008, The Beatles’ ‘Across the Universe’ embarked on a similar journey, aimed at Polaris, the North Star. Now time will tell on when an edm song will be beamed across space. The post NASA Broadcasts First Hip-Hop Song to Space appeared first on EDMTunes.

For weekly lineups, tickets, and more information on XOYO’s club and live music program, visit XOYO’s website. Ed Solo & Deekline – King of the Bongo A singalong anthem, the soundtrack to everyone’s festival dreams, and if you didn’t vibe to this in a field in Hampshire at some point, where have you been? Benny Page & Doktor – Warn Dem This was such a big tune, a next-level serious hook and a half. The fusion of Doktor’s soundclash lyricism and Benny’s heavy horn sound takes the whole thing stratospheric. Deekline, Manudigital, Queen Omega – Don’t Call Me Local The vocal on this is 100% live – you can see the YouTube video – Queen Omega did it in one take! During lockdown Deekline built his studio and this was the first real sheller to emerge, a sign of his growth as an independent producer. General Levy – The General (Ed Solo remix) MIR crew came to us with this one. Ed got on the remix and it instantly went off in the dance. Since this tune, we’ve worked with General Levy a few times, and he always delivers. Beat Assassins – Home Grown (Phibes remix) Phibes came to us and they were 100% convinced this one was going to blow up. It had been going off on their socials, people loved it. Global Beatport no 1 later – very rare for DNB – and we were convinced. KLEU – Rudy, A Message To You Cut from our Trojan remix project, an absolute classic. We all tried to remix this one but we could never get it right. Kleu took it on and used the original tempo, then sped it up into DNB. Absolute banger. Ed Solo & Deekline & AIRGLO – Space Ed Solo says: “I got a promo from an unknown US artist, and one of the tunes was called ‘Innit’. It was so loud that my LUFS loudness meter went into the plus, which I didn’t think was possible! I found him on Insta and messaged ‘you broke my loudness meter, innit’. I then struck up a friendship which led to this one.” Deekline and Jah Cuzzi – Three Little Birds This one is very close to the original vibe, but DNB. Approved by the Bob Marley Foundation. Ed Solo & Deekline – Top Ranking – Upgrade & T>I Remix This one had been sizzling under for a while. The Trojan remix project brought it all together and gave us the opportunity to use those original ’70s licks. Upgrade and T>I took it to the next level. Kaya Fyah, Martial Taktics, MC Det, Ed Solo – She Was Afraid A fiery slingshot of positive culture vibes from the brightest new star in the constellation. Watch this one all the way – Kaya Fyah, the firestarter, as the revolution continues.

Attention, Pastafarians! Your culinary maestro of bass, Spag Heddy, is back to serve up a fresh helping of sonic spaghetti. After letting his debut album “The Noodle Effect” simmer in the musical pot for a year, the head chef of heavy beats has whipped up a new five-course audio feast titled “The Big Boil” EP. This latest offering sees Spag returning to his roots, cooking up a storm of bass that’s sure to satisfy longtime devotees of his al dente audio.

May your bass be strong and your noodles be ever al dente. “It’s been a year since I released my debut album, so it is high time for a new body of work. With ‘The Noodle Effect,’ I showcased more of myself and brought a variety of styles to the table that I had not shown before. In the void that came after the release of it, I’ve taken time off to reflect on my music path and gone back to find inspiration in places where I would look in the early days of my career. Eptic, Skrillex, Knife Party, are some of the main musical influences for the spirit of ‘The Big Boil’ EP, as well as very old (unfinished) songs of myself. This EP feels like Spag Heddy 2.0, continuing where I left off but with a refined recipe.” – Spag Heddy The post Spag Heddy 2.0 summons the flying spaghetti monster for 5-track ‘The Big Boil’ EP appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

After a 9-year hiatus, Dutch DJ and producer extraordinaire Wiwek makes a triumphant return to Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings with his latest track, “Remedy.” As the architect of the groundbreaking “jungle terror” genre, Wiwek’s comeback is nothing short of terrifying. Jungle terror, a genre pioneered by Wiwek, is a high-energy fusion of electronic dance music that draws inspiration from tribal rhythms, primal sounds, and intense, driving beats. This unique style emerged in the early 2010s as a response to the increasingly polished and commercialized EDM scene. Jungle terror is characterized by its raw, untamed energy, often incorporating animalistic samples, tribal percussion, and unconventional sound design to create a wild, unpredictable sonic landscape. “Remedy” exemplifies the evolution of jungle terror, showcasing Wiwek’s growth as an artist while staying true to the roots of the genre he created. The track opens with a minimal, pulsating bassline accented by distinctive whistles – a nod to the primal calls often found in jungle terror productions. As the song progresses, Wiwek masterfully layers in adrenaline-pumping rhythms, building to a crescendo that flirts with hardstyle influences. This fusion creates a sinister, high-octane experience that’s poised to ignite dancefloors throughout the summer and beyond. The release of “Remedy” on Revealed Recordings feels like a full-circle moment for Wiwek. His last appearance on the label was in 2015 with “Chameleon,” a collaboration with Hardwell himself. Some listeners might find an ironic nostalgia in “Remedy,” as it harkens back to the rave sounds that helped establish jungle terror as a formidable force in electronic music. Following the release of his debut album “Cycles” and the “Jungle Terror vol. 5” EP on Barong Family earlier this year, Wiwek shows no signs of slowing down. With “Remedy” and a constant stream of new music in the pipeline, 2024 is shaping up to be another landmark year for the jungle terror mastermind.

And the output reflects over two decades of production acumen and main stage dominance. “Zenless” blends the Dutch legend’s signature energetic style with Lucas & Steve’s innovative production, delivering a brooding techno-inspired track that captures the game’s futuristic atmosphere. The song incorporates audio elements from the game world, immersing listeners in the neon-lit cityscape of New Eridu, humanity’s last stronghold against supernatural threats known as “Hollows.” “Zenless” aims to transport fans into the heart of the game’s story, where danger and adventure await around every corner. But not before this track makes it to main stages in Tiesto’s sets around the world throughout the summer.

London-based ticketing platform DICE is negotiating to sell a major stake, potentially valuing it at hundreds of millions. The buzz follows an approach by a potential buyer, with major investor SoftBank eager to cash out. DICE’s growth trajectory is impressive, boasting over 55,000 artists and 10,000 venues on its platform across 30 cities in 2023. The company’s live events business is thriving, and they’ve just rolled out a new marketplace on their app. This innovative move is projected to boost event revenue by 30%, with DICE Extras being the first product to hit the marketplace. In 2021, DICE raised $122 million from its Series C round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, drawing investment from notable figures like iPod inventor Tony Fadell’s Future Shape, and French entrepreneur Xavier Niel. The latest funding round in August 2023 saw the company securing $65 million, led by MUSIC, with investors like Structural Capital and Kobalt Music’s Willard Ahdritz joining in. Phil Hutcheon, CEO and Founder of DICE “The live music industry is adopting DICE faster than ever and proves our thesis that if you treat fans well, they buy more tickets, and go out more often. We’re investing heavily in building even more technology and this year alone we released over 60 new features for fans, venues and artists,” Phil Hutcheon, CEO and Founder of DICE, said in August 2023. The Ever-Changing Landscape of Live Events The sale talks are reportedly attracting interest from at least three private equity firms. This development aligns with a broader resurgence in the live events sector, where deals are happening left and right. Last month, KKR bought Superstruct Entertainment for €1.3 billion, and Blackstone acquired a minority stake in Ambassador Theatre Group. DICE has been making strategic moves, like launching Merch on DICE in 2021 for artists’ limited-run product drops and acquiring the livestreaming platform Boiler Room in October 2021. These steps solidify DICE’s position as a major player in the live events and ticketing landscape, even as they face competition from giants like Ticketmaster and CTS Eventim. With the live events industry buzzing, DICE’s potential sale marks a significant moment in the ever-evolving music and events landscape.

We sat down to have a chat with the man of the moment recently. In this day and age, Dance music has more traffic than ever, and that may make it difficult for a fairly new artist — or a veteran under a new name — to really take off. Well, not long ago, we stumbled upon a hotly-requested ID, a remake of a classic track. And now that it’s finally come out, we’re glad to introduce you to YERO. A born DJ and natural disruptor, YERO is the new artist project of Greek producer Johnny Gerontakis. He’s been igniting parties in his home country for years, and now under this moniker promises to amaze crowds worldwide. And he’s already started. Earlier this year, he made his debut at Ibiza’s iconic sunset spot Café Mambo, and turned heads with his addition to this year’s Tomorrowland lineup, which, last time we checked, it’s this very weekend. YERO’s debut single — and the one we discovered him with — is ‘Wonderful Life (Kryder’s Guilty Pleasure Mix)‘, a beautiful rendition of the 1980s original by UK band Black. His version, which features the vocals of Christian Burns, elevates the experience a couple notches by turning the positive lyrics into an Afro House masterpiece, all with the help of a Dance icon, Kryder. And so we managed to lock in an interview with the man behind the ID, just days before his debut slot at Tomorrowland Belgium. Here’s our conversation. Read on. Who is YERO? How would you describe your latest artist moniker? YERO is my newly launched DJ and producer artist project for 2024 with a clear vision to get people back on the dancefloor. How did YERO begin, how was it born? We’d love to know about that moment when the idea came to your head. The idea was to create a very personal project where I could combine the sounds and different styles of house music that I love all and that I’ve seen connect with crowds over the years as a DJ. I’ve DJ’d all my life so it’s a natural need for me to share the music and the vibe that I have in my head with other people, and I just felt the time for this to launch was now. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. So, what takes us to you is your debut track, ‘Wonderful Life’, alongside Kryder and Christian Burns. So we’d like to ask, why ‘Wonderful Life’? Why rework this particular track, one that is practically a part of general music culture? The positive message in the song’s lyrics fully matches my philosophy for music and life in general so I thought it was the perfect fit for my first release. The fun spirit and message of gratitude in the song is something we all need to hear in the spirit of summer and festival season. We’re absolutely aching to know, how did it feel working with Kryder? Kryder and I have a really special relationship, we’ve known each other for many years now. Working with him is not new to me but it is always a pleasure! I think he is a top player in the worldwide music industry, and I really enjoy learning from him. So, this track blew up and came to be one of the year’s most requested IDs. What are your thoughts on that, and why do you think such was the case? I was very happy to see the track getting support on the dancefloor. People instantly connected to the feelings and emotions we had in mind when creating the track and the uplifting production, so how could we not share it as an official release? You’re debuting as YERO at Tomorrowland this week. First off, congratulations! And secondly, what can attendees expect from your set? Which genres do you wish to onboard to your timeslot? Thank you! I’m so excited for Tomorrowland. It’s the world’s biggest dance party and an honour to be a part of it. I can’t wait! As for my set, festival-goers can expect tech and tribal rhythms, uplifting melodies, sexy vocals with groovy drops – that’s my sound all over! What can fans expect from YERO during this second half of the year and diving a bit into early 2025? My main focus is to release at least one track per month and also throw some special DJ shows. I recently debuted at Ibiza’s famous Café Mambo, which was another bucket list venue, so I’m excited to see what’s next. Final Words Thank you so much to YERO for your words. We’re super excited to hear what’s next in your catalogue, and just know that we’re vibing to ‘Wonderful Life’ on a daily basis. In fact, you readers can also vibe to it, for YERO and Kryder have figured the best way to share the positive message was to give it away as a freebie! I, like the musical equivalent of a petrolhead I am, already secured my lossless copy, and I’d suggest you do the same, by heading to this link right here. Kryder · Yero Feat. Christian Burns – Wonderful Life (Kryder's Extended Guilty Pleasure Mix) Thanks again YERO! The man himself is playing Tomorrowland this weekend, as he’ll be tearing down the Melodia Stage on Saturday the 20th, from 18:00 to 19:30. So if you’re over there, why not pay him a visit and experience those tribal rhythms and sexy vocals first-hand?!
