Dolby Teams up With Anyma to Celebrate Atmos & New Album – ‘Genesys II’
Dolby Laboratories, Inc., a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, is teaming up with Anyma. It is the solo project of Matteo Milleri of Tale Of Us. The bigger intent is to celebrate the transformative experience of Dolby Atmos Music. Set to the song “Eternity” from his debut album Genesys, Anyma stars in the commercial. It spotlights the heightened emotional bond fans can share with their favourite artists through Dolby Atmos. Dolby Atmos was mind-blowing the first time I tried it. The shift of perception, to hear the space, and to be immersed into this environment was inspiring. Every detail in my music adds to the story, so to have Dolby Atmos capture all of it and bring my vision to life exactly as I imagined is game-changing Matteo Milleri (Anyma) The piece follows the recent debut of Anyma’s latest album Genesys II, which released on March 29 via Afterlife/Interscope. Fans can envelop themselves in the immersive odysseys of “Eternity” and Genesys II today in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music. Adding to the festivities, Anyma fans are invited to explore the immersivity of “Eternity”. The experience is also available through a Dolby Atmos-powered digital fan destination at LoveMoreinDolby.com. Fans can also check out a behind-the-scenes interview with Anyma where he shares his first impressions of Dolby Atmos. He also throws light around the inspiration behind his global hit “Eternity.” Dolby Atmos is a completely new way to create and experience music that delivers artistic expression at its fullest capacity, forging a deeper connection between artists and their fans. Music in Dolby Atmos goes beyond the ordinary listening experience by immersing you in the song, revealing details with unparalleled clarity and depth. Whether it’s hearing the layers of instruments move all around, catching the subtle breath a singer takes between lyrics, or being enveloped in a wave of melodies, nothing compares to hearing music in Dolby Atmos.

800% Peak: Daytime Clubbing Interest Is At An All-Time High
Daytime clubbing is not only becoming a thing, but also a trend. Here’s one for those who love going out and partying every now and then, but don’t want to sacrifice an entire day coming back down to Earth. A recent note posted by Startle suggests the usual clubbing-by-night schedule could be making a shift, a change in era if you will. The brand claims the term “Daytime Clubbing“, and daytime parties in general, have seen an increase of 800% regarding online searches. As straightforward as it sounds, daytime clubbing involves taking your sweet moments of relief and unwinding from the late hours of midnight and beyond, to a much more friendly time when the sun is still shining. The site states there are a handful of factors that could be the cause of this phenomenon, at least in the UK, a country where events like Day Fever live in a permanently sold-out state. Appeals To A Wider Age Range Partying during the day hours is much easier to handle. You don’t have to go out of your way and break your usual routines to stay an entire night out until the sun rises and you go to sleep for half a day. This is not only easier to do for newcomers to the scene, but it also has a direct benefit towards people aged 30 and up, who don’t really fancy chugging an entire bottle of hard liquor at 6 in the morning and breaking schedules as often as the teenagers do. There are jobs to fulfil, there are families to take care of, and there are other Saturday plans than just recovering from a hangover. Nighttime Clubs Are Closing Down A report by the Nighttime Industries Association shows that one out of every five nightclubs in the UK has closed its doors in the last few years. That’s unfortunate, but it also opens a possibility to shift these lost instances of leisure elsewhere. In true EDM spirit, the logical thing to do would be to accommodate those in need of a good musical time with new ways of clubbing, and this opens the possibility to innovate. Enter daytime partying. Roll credits. Double Objectives And Creative Charities It’s no secret that times have turned south financially speaking. Inflation is eating up the value of our hard-earned bucks, at the same time that organisms are getting more and more creative at taxing citizens. So it’s natural to see a decline in activities that involve giving away money, such as charities. As an extra dimension of originality, some daytime events have started tying themselves to different charities and other means of raising money — and creating experiences — for a variety of causes. Objectives like raising funds for those in need, or providing a safe space for the elderly to have a chat and a ball thus fighting loneliness, are some of those offered via these parties. And so, you’re basically helping others while helping yourself. Final Thoughts So, what do you think? Are you a hardcore fan of the night and night shows only, or would you be open to trying these daytime parties? I personally think the bridge has already been built, with open-air events such as the Anjunadeep series often taking advantage of scenic landscapes all over the world. In the end, what could come out of this is a more united community. Is anyone against it?

Watch Steve Angello LIVE Stream at Coachella 2024
The Swedish House Mafia may have reunited and taken their Paradise Again Tour around the world, but tonight Steve Angello returns to his solo roots with a headlining set at Coachella‘s Outdoor Theatre. It’s been a momentous few years for the Stockholm-born DJ/producer. After Swedish House Mafia’s dramatic split in 2013, Angello launched into crafting his debut solo album HUMAN, which he brought to Coachella in 2017 with a headlining performance. That set was a high-concept spectacle, with Angello appearing ascending like a God to bring the album’s themes to life. But HUMAN feels like a lifetime ago now for the SIZE Records boss. He’s rejoined Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso as SHM, releasing their long-awaited reunion album Paradise Again and touring it globally over the last year. The trio’s high-energy anthems like “Moth To A Flame” and “Redlight” have reestablished them as dance music royalty. Tonight, however, gets back to Angello’s personal roots. Performing from midnight to 1 am, we can expect a more introspective journey through his influential label SIZE and its roster of underground house and techno talents. Steve Angello LIVE Stream at Coachella 2024 Angello has been outspoken about wanting to refocus on SIZE and nurturing emerging artists. With the Paradise Again victory lap now complete, this is his chance to reimmerse in the gritty, four-to-the-floor sounds that first made him a sensation. So don’t expect a rehash of Swedish House Mafia’s grandiose productions. This DJ set should highlight Angello’s talents as a tastemaker and connector of scenes. He’ll have the freedom to go as deep, progressive, or experimental as he wants in outlining SIZE’s forward path. We’ll be able to watch it all go down via Coachella’s YouTube live stream, which kicks off at 9 pm Paris time on Saturday morning (or midnight PDT Friday night). Tune in to see which direction the ever-evolving Steve Angello takes us next from the desert valley. The post Watch Steve Angello LIVE Stream at Coachella 2024 appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

Armin Van Buuren & HI-LO Join Forces For ‘Now Love Will Begin’
Get ready to experience the ultimate union of techno and trance, where love and music intertwine to create pure sonic ecstasy! Premiered on “A State of Trance” and a standout track included in Armin van Buuren and HI-LO’s much-talked-about B2B set at A State of Trance Rotterdam, ’Now Love Will Begin’ is a groundbreaking fusion of techno’s pulsating rhythms and trance’s euphoric melodies. The song takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through the realms of both genres, igniting dance floors and hearts alike. Listen here. “HI-LO (Oliver Heldens) and I just click so well. It was apparent during our back-to-back live set at A State of Trance in Rotterdam, and many others were able to see it as well when we connected on stage again in Miami during the Ultra Music Festival. I’m so happy that this natural flow between us extends to our studio work as well. We’re both so passionate about dance music, and I’m having such a great time being producer-nerdy in the studio with him. ‘Now Love Will Begin’ is what came out of it, and I’m so excited for the world to hear what we cooked up together!,” Van Buuren says. “In the last half a year, it’s been awesome working with Armin on several collabs and preparing for our b2b sets. Probably the highlight so far was when all of that came together during our b2b at A State of Trance Rotterdam, and even though the b2b set at A State of Trance Miami didn’t happen in the end due to severe weather conditions, we still had a lot of fun preparing for that set, and in general, it’s been lovely to connect on a deeper level. Our first collab, ‘Now Love Will Begin,’ definitely captures that spirit; I think it’s a meaningful banger of a tune that crosses boundaries, uniting the worlds of techno, uplifting trance, and psy-trance. Enjoy! :),” HI-LO adds. The post Armin Van Buuren & HI-LO Join Forces For ‘Now Love Will Begin’ appeared first on EDMTunes.

Barkin Drops 2nd Track of The Year ‘Come With Me’
Barkin continues his awesome 2024 with his 2nd release of the year. Teaming up with Honey-B-Sweet, ‘Come With Me’ continues Barkin’s Techno-focused sound. The New York artist dropped it on Liftoff Records. Honey-B-Sweet’s sultry vocals take center stage in the beginning before tension begins to rise. Before we know it, we are engulfed in a groovy bass-infused drop. Clever and gritty ear candy gives us all we need to keep dancing. Aggressive synths and sounds are expertly mixed into the record providing us with hints of Barkin’s original Bass House sound. A deep-moving break switches things up before the pace begins to speed up again. An even bigger second build introduces a fake-out drop. A melody of breath vocals takes us into the second drop. It feels just as good but with more percs and grooves throughout. Barkin kicked off 2024 with a similar track in ‘Touch Me.’ Make sure to check out ‘Come With Me’ below!

Andromedik presents brand-new EP ‘Rise’ on Tomorrowland
The drums are rolling and the basslines are dropping as Andromedik, Belgium’s bright young drum & bass phenomenon, unleashes his explosive new ‘Rise‘ EP upon the world today. At just 25 years old, the Antwerp native has skyrocketed from local talent to international force, bringing his meticulously crafted yet raucously energetic sound to dancefloors from Australia to Brazil. With ‘Rise,’ Andromedik firms his ascent, delivering a 6-track barrage of anthemic, genre-pushing works that epitomize his distinct fusion of electronically charged pop and the purest of drum & bass fury. From the throbbing grooves of the titular “Rise” to the jagged synths and rapid-fire breaks on “Black Code,” each track radiates the fresh, boundary-defying ethos that’s made Andromedik one of the scene’s most thrilling new voices. The EP’s radiant centerpiece, however, is the inescapably infectious “Stay.” An earworm of the highest order, the track blends Andromedik’s trademark, quad-thumping basslines with uplifting pop refrains and ethereal vocal samples, perfectly encapsulating his uncanny ability to merge raw dancefloor power with melodic, anthemic brilliance. While the six tracks comprising ‘Rise‘ provide a blistering artistic statement, they merely hint at the sheer force Andromedik has become in the live arena. On the heels of last year’s landmark main stage performance at the legendary Tomorrowland festival, the producer kicks off an ambitious run with two sold-out “Andromedik Invites” shows in his Antwerp hometown tonight and tomorrow, featuring a fully re-envisioned audiovisual experience. From there, the whirlwind continues as Andromedik will helm his very own stage at Tomorrowland 2024 before crisscrossing the continent this summer for a relentless run of premier festival appearances everywhere from Poland’s Audioriver to Hungary’s Bass Paradise. At each stop, he’ll undoubtedly convert new legions of believers with the mind-bending mixtures of subwoofer-shredding grit and majestic splendor that make up ‘Rise.’ The post Andromedik presents brand-new EP ‘Rise’ on Tomorrowland appeared first on The Groove Cartel.

“From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists” – A new report by Toolroom Academy in partnership with Audience Strategies
During a live presentation at their Toolroom Academy Live event in London.“From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists”, has today released the full findings of their newly commissioned report Toolroom Records, the education platform of leading electronic label Toolroom Academy The report is produced for Toolroom Academy by Rufy Ghazi and David Boyle – head of Audience Strategies – who has previously built global analytics and data insight capabilities for major companies including The BBC and EMI Music, and has used data to help elect a prime minister and a president. “We have sensed a frustration among our student community that despite doing the hard yards of production and contributing great music to the scene, this effort was not mirrored with opportunity in return. Our feeling was that the gap between our student’s ambitions, and the opportunities to build sustainable careers in electronic music, seemed far too wide.” – Miles Shackleton Working closely with hundreds of students who have graduated through the various courses and mentorship schemes offered by their Academy, Toolroom has a unique insight into the perspective of talented artists struggling to carve a sustainable career for themselves in what is a multi-billion-dollar industry. The report is a direct response to this, providing a deeper comprehension of the industry dynamics, identifying barriers that emerging artists face, as well as offering valuable insights, directions, and a targeted approach to strategy development for emerging artists. “The report is an important step towards fixing a key problem we have identified at Toolroom Academy. New artists who contribute the music – the lifeblood of the scene – face considerable challenges when attempting to turn their passion into sustainable careers. The report outlines a number of strategies for success, and suggests what role the wider industry should play in supporting emerging talent.” – Miles Shackleton Based on data collected from over 250 new artists, alongside 1:1 interviews with a variety of established artists, educators, and industry professionals, the report provides a clear understanding of the challenges, experiences, and strategies used by electronic music artists. Whilst the responses largely paint a picture of resilience, versatility, and the blending of passion with pragmatism, strikingly, the report found that 76% of new artists feel that their career is not financially sustainable, whilst 62% say they struggle to grow an online audience. With 88% of the artists surveyed expressing difficulty in understanding algorithms and developing promotional strategies, the barriers emerging artists face are much broader than the ability to produce great music. Issues faced range from practical concerns around networking, collaborations and marketing/promotion, to the emotional and physical effects of burnout and the impact of rejection on mental health. The findings are presented alongside direct strategies for growth and a call for solutions that can be adopted across areas of the industry responsible for education, mentorship, and networking. From demystifying entry points and industry roles to providing targeted educational initiatives that bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world experience, the report offers a clear pathway towards real, meaningful change that can be implemented across the music industry. “Our future objective at the Toolroom Academy is to truly understand and support new electronic music artists. We aim to evolve and adapt in order to meet our student’s needs in an ever-changing industry. The report concludes with strategies to shape music education for the future; focusing on networking, brand-building, industry acumen and resilience, alongside providing hands-on experiences and industry-relevant content. This report will provide the intellectual basis for our evolution as an educational business over the coming years.” – Miles Shackleton The report was launched at Toolroom Academy Live – an event aimed at supporting emerging talent featuring a full day of talks, workshops and panels from guests including Danny Howard, Defected’s Wez Saunders, and Mark Knight. “From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists” is availabl HERE.

DJ Snake Unleashes “Big Bang” with Crankdat
French DJ and multi-platinum producer DJ Snake has linked up with bass music maverick Crankdat for the pulsating new single “Big Bang.” The track is a prime example of Snake’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, boasting colossal builds, whiplash-inducing synths, and dramatic drops. “Big Bang” kicks off with a slow build composed of percussion, organ stabs, and throwback loops before reaching the first drop, treating fans to a dubstep breakdown peppered with dissonant, shrieking synths. It’s a grinding, sonic call-to-arms that is sure to be a standout in Snake’s hotly anticipated sets at Coachella this weekend. The new single arrives via Interscope Records and is the first new music from the Parisian hitmaker since last summer’s joyous thumper “West Side Story.” It follows a string of diverse releases like the world music-inspired “Guddi Riddim” with the Nooran Sisters, the sensual “Nightbird,” the heavy-hitting “Deep” with Malaa and Yung Felix, and “Power (Remember Who You Are)” with Spinall, Summer Walker, and Äyanna. No other artist embodies the concept of global dance music quite like DJ Snake. The multi-platinum star made his full-length debut in 2016 with Encore, a groundbreaking album that hit #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic chart. His 2019 LP Carte Blanche continued his global takeover with hits like “Loco Contigo” with J. Balvin and Tyga, and the Selena Gomez/Ozuna/Cardi B smash “Taki Taki.” Along with turning out era-defining tracks like “Turn Down for What” with Lil Jon and the 4x platinum “Let Me Love You” with Justin Bieber, Snake has shattered industry records with over 80 diamond single certifications worldwide and amassed over 40 billion global streams across his genre-blurring discography.

Andromedik Fuses Raw Power With Introspective Bliss in New Drum & Bass EP, "Rise"
With its heart-on-sleeve songwriting, Andromedik's new EP, Rise, proves that drum & bass can be both a party-starter and a canvas for complex emotions. The project arrives in the midst of a meteoric rise the likes of which most DJs can only dream. Last summer, the Belgian producer became the first drum & bass artist in five years to perform on Tomorrowland's fabled Mainstage, following in the footsteps of Netsky. Now he's set to host his very own Tomorrowland stage takeover, "Andromedik Invites," to celebrate the iconic festival brand's 20th anniversary. Andromedik performing at the iconic Tomorrowland festival in Belgium.Tomorrowland Out now via Liquicity Records, Rise is a shapeshifting showcase of Andromedik's versatility. One moment you're hurtling down the rails of a teeth-rattling festival anthem, the next you're floating weightless through an emotive, melodic reverie. He kicks off the EP with its titular track, which detonates with concussive bass and breakneck drums. But he quickly shifts gears on the contemplative "Stay," where aching vocals from Idle Days quiver through blissed-out synths to create a surreal moment of detachment, like sinking into a warm bath after a long night. Andromedik finds a thrilling middle ground in "Comedown," joining forces with pioneering drum & bass producer Grafix to balance the genre's raw physicality with glistening pop hooks that burrow deep into your subconscious. The same goes for the EP's cathartic closer, "Paradise," where Luka's ethereal vocals soar above a rumbling bassline like a lone voice at the peak of a rollercoaster. You can listen to Andromedik's full Rise EP below.

Jake Shore and Henry Fong's New House Track Will Make You Sweat Through Your Clothes: Listen
Channeling the unbridled energy of '90s club culture, Jake Shore and Henry Fong have joined forces for a new collaboration, "Take Control." Landing on Tchami's Confession imprint, the track samples C+C Music Factory's 1990 hip-house classic "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." And in many ways, it's the modern-day equivalent of that timeless party anthem. Just ask FISHER, who has been rinsing the song in his DJ sets for weeks and sending crowds into full-blown hysteria. View the original article to see embedded media. However, the track has now been supercharged, its vintage sugar rush transforming into something much more potent. But Shore and Fong don't just raid the candy drawer of the past—they've ingeniously interpolated it into a visceral sound all their own. With its manic saxophone loop, "Take Control" hits like a surge protector plugged straight into the MTV generation. It's impossible not to move to that unmistakable C+C synth sample, but instead of parachute pants, it's wrapped in a quaking tech house beat that taps into our most primal dancefloor instincts. Take a listen below. The new song especially hits home for Shore, a longtime fan of both Fong and Confession, with whom he said releasing music "has been an absolute dream." Tech house bangers with a nostalgic twist have become the secret sauce of his bulletproof formula as he furiously rises through dance music's ranks. "Personally this record is a reflection of where I'm at in my career and what I've devoted the past five years of my life to… letting the music take control," Shore tells EDM.com. "The energy and culture of the '90s is in my blood, it's my childhood, it's how I was raised. I just feel like myself whenever I take inspiration from this era of dance music and it's so much fun for me to bring it back to life. My hope is that when someone hears this record they let everything in the world go for a little while and just let the music simply take control." The same goes for Fong, who says he grew up listening to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" on repeat. "I was born in the '80s so I was old enough to remember everything going on in the '90s and it was the most fun," Fong recalls. "My mom always put on the Jock Jams CD to work out to I remember growing up, so 'Everybody Dance Now' was always blaring through my house. That whole CD feels like my childhood."

Tomorrowland Commits 10 Years in Brazil with Improvements
Just off the heels of the official announcement on the return of Tomorrowland Brazil, organizers announce they will stay at their South America home with a 10-year commitment. They plan to add some much needed improvements to their grounds, with changes expected to take place during the 2024 edition. According to a recent press conference in São Paulo, Tomorrowland Brazil, Secretaries of Culture, Economy and Creative Industries, Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics, DC Set and We Are One World, will work together to come up with a new logistics strategy to deliver a successful festival while, hopefully, preventing some past issues from reoccuring for it’s future editions. After taking a hiatus from hosting it’s Brazil edition, Tomorrowland made it’s official return last year, but it certainly didn’t go on without a hitch. In 2023, attendees saw massive downpour during Day 1 of the festival, leading the grounds to get soaked and mud to take over. Organizers were led to cancel Day 2 of the event give enough time for their team to handle the mud and prepare for a successful Day 3. With this in mind, organizers shared the challenges and difficulties they faced hosting last year’s event, leading them to create a map to invest in some improvements. During the press conference, it was shared that an agreement was made with the city hall of Itu and DER, providing them 22 million to improve Parque Madea, known to be the festival’s Brazilian home. Construction will take about 12 months, with plans to start gravel work in 2024 to “water-proof’ the venue. Tomorrowland Brazil fans can feel at ease with this recent news. Not only is the festival confirming an annual return for the next 10 years, but they are also preparing to deliver a much drier, less muddy experience moving forward. Tomorrowland recently announced that Tomorrowland Brazil will make its return to Itu, São Paulo at Parque Madea on October 11th – 13th, 2024. This year’s theme will revolve around ‘Adscendo’, bringing the captivating stage back to life in Tomorrowland’s second home. This magical stage was first unveiled at Tomorrowland Belgium in 2023.
