Spotify Now Demonetizing Tracks Under 1,000 Streams
In a groundbreaking move that’s sending waves through the music industry, Spotify has officially pulled the plug on monetization for tracks garnering fewer than 1,000 streams. As of April 1, 2024, the streaming giant’s new policy dictates that only tracks surpassing this threshold within the past 12 months will be eligible for royalty consideration. This adjustment, Spotify claims, will enrich the earnings of tracks that do meet the criteria, considering that a whopping 99.5% of streams are of tracks above this benchmark. But is this a fair play, or does it sideline emerging artists struggling for exposure? A Double-Edged Sword for Creators The rationale behind Spotify’s policy revamp is multifaceted. On one hand, it aims to curb the manipulation of streaming numbers through artificial plays—a move that’s seen targeting genres prone to such exploitation, like white noise, by raising the playtime requirement from 30 seconds to two minutes. On the other, it raises concerns among the music community about accessibility to fair royalties, particularly for lesser-known artists. United Musicians and Allied Workers have voiced significant apprehension, suggesting an overwhelming 86% of Spotify’s content could fall short of the new royalty mark. This discord underscores a growing movement for equitable streaming revenue distribution, championed by initiatives like Make Streaming Pay. Financial Repercussions and the Future of Spotify In tandem with these controversial policy changes, Spotify is navigating financial turbulence, reporting consistent losses since its 2018 stock market debut. In an effort to counteract these deficits, the company is not only tweaking its royalty scheme but also revising customer pricing. Reports by Bloomburg indicate planned increases in subscription fees across various regions, ostensibly to accommodate the costs of expanding content offerings, including audiobooks and educational videos. With these adjustments poised to impact Spotify’s financial landscape and its standing with artists and listeners alike, the coming months will be critical in shaping the future of music streaming. In essence, Spotify’s latest policy and pricing updates signify a pivotal moment for the music streaming industry. As the company seeks a sustainable path forward amid financial challenges, the repercussions for artists, especially those in the nascent stages of their careers, could be profound. With the debate over fair compensation for musicians intensifying, Spotify’s move could either mark a step toward a more viable model for all stakeholders or deepen the rift between streaming platforms and the creative community they depend on.

UK electronic duo Gorgon City have announced their fifth new album, Reverie. It will be out on July 19 via their own REALM Records and Astralwerks. The two artists also released a new song called “All That You Need” with Caroline Byrne. The lead single “Biggest Regret” with Bbyafricka came out at the start of the year, and the club-ready “You Know It” came out last month. The catchy “All That You Need” is another preview of Gorgon City’s upcoming summer album Reverie, with a dirty bassline, bouncing synth toplines, and distorted vocal melodies that stick in your head right away. Gorgon City – Reverie Tracklist “Are You Feeling It Too?” “Breath You In” featuring NORTH “All That You Need” featuring Caroline Byrne “One New Change” “Biggest Regret” featuring Bbyafricka “How Do You Love?” featuring Mougleta “Make It Happen” featuring DJ Pierre “Landslide” featuring Poppy Baskcomb “Keep Your Head Up” featuring Harry Romero “You Know It” “Dreaming” As a follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 album Salvation, which included hit singles like “Voodoo” and “Pose,” Reverie will include all of these songs. They also had another amazing live schedule, with highlights like being the first headliner at London’s now-iconic Drumsheds, Red Rocks Amphitheater, a sold-out Brooklyn Mirage, continuing their residency in Ibiza, and slots at Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Lollapalooza, and more. The album announcement comes before a busy few months for Gorgon City. They had a REALM Showcase in Miami, a residency at LIV in Las Vegas, and a huge return to the world-famous Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, where they will be headlining the Yuma Stage on Friday night. Along with their busy live schedule, the dance giants have also announced their brand-new song. To celebrate their 10th anniversary since their last mix appearance, they will be hosting the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix on April 5th with a special “time capsule” mix. The fun doesn’t end there; on May 5, the duo bring their Enter The Realm event to Liverpool’s Blackstone Street Warehouse, along with Eats Everything, SG Lewis, and more. This is before they play at important festivals in Detroit and Chicago, at Movement and ARC. Gorgon City Camelphat Coachella Gorgon City UK electronic pair Gorgon City have had a lot of success in recent years thanks to their unique mix of bass-driven house music and catchy vocals. They have become one of the most sought-after acts in the business. Their music has been streamed over a billion times, and 10 of their songs have been certified by BRIT as Platinum or Gold. In the past few years, they’ve played sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Shrine in Los Angeles, Ibiza’s Amnesia for 16 weeks, a Printworks show that was also sold out, and released the hit single “Sidewindah” with famous MC Flirta-D.

Rinzen Releases Highly Anticipated Album ‘Bend To The Light’
The day has finally come, out today on new music Friday is Rinzen’s anticipated debut album Bend To The Light. Out now exclusively through Lane 8’s label This Never Happened on all streaming platforms. Bend To The Light In the two months between announcement and delivery, Bend To The Light released three singles. The first was ‘Burning’ featuring Shalou, followed by ‘The Pursuit’, and finally ‘Déjà Vu’ featuring Molly Moonwater. These tracks have earned support from prominent names such as Billboard, DJ Mag, Ibiza Global Radio, Mixmag, and SiriusXM, among others. Now, on April 5th, the tracklist grows from 3 to 10. While the album has yet to be experienced in full, a majority of its 10 cuts may sound familiar. Lane 8 played two of the album tracks in his recent mixtape. ‘I Wanna Be Right’ and ‘Astronauta’ towards the end of his mixtape are perfect upbeat and beautiful tracks to come to the end of a journey of 2.5 hours with. Rizen has drawn inspiration from a cyberpunk aesthetic for his album concept. He has created a high-tech world set in the near-future, featuring interplanetary civilizations. The album’s title explores the idea of surrendering to the universe from a spiritual perspective. It encourages molding oneself towards an authoritative figure and making decisions bending towards the light. Rinzen shares his story on the journey of creation of this masterpiece on his social media ahead of his album release. Stand Out Tracks Mike’s vision for this album is to depict a near-future new high-tech world of interplanetary travel, and a dark shadow hides below all the glistens. Upon listening to these 10 tracks, their futuristic, cinematic style will captivate you. It evokes the new worldscapes and you will point out the tracks that are more club-centered. A show-stopper track to me is ‘Astronauta’. As I listen to the song I feel like I am on a journey in space, an interstellar trip. The distorted notes layered, the music feeling like the swooshing of passing asteroids. The soulful synth is created from a granulator processing the human voice. Through this spatial experience, peers through human emotion. The album revolves around the theme of emotion. This is evident from the very first track ‘Burning’ featuring Shallou’s soulful vocals, as well as we progress through the album with ‘Astronauta’ and ‘Empires (Interlude)’ touching the heart strings as well . Rinzen shares his thoughts on the theme and ‘Astronauta’. Emotion is a big part of this album, and this Portuguese vocal spoke directly to my soul. The feeling was so amazing, I knew I had to use it. Vocoders and granulators were a vital part of the album, and on this song in particular I really pushed myself to achieve something special with sound design and vocal processing Rinzen ‘Planets Passing Overhead’ is a track where Rinzen’s futuristic approach with the drums and cybel is evident throughout the song, with synths adding a sci-fi touch. It’s a refreshing addition to the electronic music scene and a great inclusion in this album. Lane 8 and Yotto shared this beautiful track ‘I Wanna Be Right’ for the first time at Dreamstate. It was a prefect track towards the end of their set. Forming a core memory for me whilst the crowd danced in joy in the cool rainy November evening. A perfect closing track, happy, catchy and just a ray full of hope in this new universe built by Rinzen. Tracklist Rinzen feat. Shallou – ‘Burning’ Rinzen – ‘The Pursuit’ Rinzen – ‘Astronauta’ Rinzen feat. Molly Moonwater – ‘Déjà Vu Rinzen – ‘Terraforming’ Rinzen – ‘Scorpio’ Rinzen – ‘Empires (Interlude)’ Rinzen – ‘Planets Passing Overhead’ Rinzen feat. WENNINK – ‘Bend to the Light’ Rinzen – ‘I Wanna Be Right’ I don’t know about you but this album is going to be on repeat for the days to come for me. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Dave Clarke releases 30th anniversary limited edition of seminal “Archive One” album
The One Time Limited Edition Pressing Of Archive One And The Red Series 30th Anniversary Boxset contains the Remastered Archive One Album, Red Series Coloured Vinyl Singles, 16 Page Booklet with rare photos, sleeve notes, signed photo print and foreword by Dave Clarke and well as Red Remixes Coloured Vinyl featuring remixes from The Chemical Brothers, Umek, DJ Sneak, Surgeon, DJ Rush and Robert Hood. Marking a significant milestone in electronic music history, renowned techno maverick Dave Clarke unveils the digital release of his seminal ‘Red’ series and ‘Archive One’ album for the first time. The digital re-release is accompanied by a unique box set edition commemorating the 30th anniversary of this landmark release. This limited-edition set includes remastered tracks, coloured vinyl singles of the ‘Red’ series, a 16-page booklet with rare photos and sleeve notes, and exclusive remixes from industry icons such as The Chemical Brothers, DJ Sneak, Aux 88 and Umek. In the late 80s, Dave recorded with XL Recordings and R&S amongst others and then in 1992, he launched his own music label, “Magnetic North”, releasing recordings under the moniker ‘Fly By Wire’, ‘Directional Force’ etc. He then produced a series of EPs from 1994 under the name ‘Red’, which were listed by DJ Mag in its “All Time Techno Top 100” list. Clarke released ‘Archive One’ as his debut album in 1996. The album’s raw, spellbinding beats captured the essence of the ’90s rave scene defining the genres; of techno, electro and breakbeat that continue to resonate powerfully to this day. Fast forward to 2023, 30 years after the inception of this body of work, and after both the album and series being unavailable at retail for over twenty years on vinyl (copies have been exchanged on Discogs in the meantime for up to £250), remastered original versions and bonus remixes are being released in a limited edition, one-time pressing, exclusive 6 vinyl set slipcase box with signed photo and a 16-page booklet written by Dave Clarke himself. These were ground-breaking works that helped put Dave Clarke and British techno on the global map and so, the digital release of this iconic music not only celebrates Dave Clarke’s influence but also underscores his unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of production; a culmination of authenticity, perseverance, and the enduring power of music. Hailed as ‘The Baron Of Techno’ by the late John Peel, musician, photographer, journalist, artist and a man with a singular electronic vision, Dave Clarke has great instincts – and those singular instincts have kept him on the correct musical path for over three decades straight. Having made music of his own since 1990 – along the way he has remixed everyone from Fontaines DC, A Place To Bury Strangers, Depeche Mode, The Chemical Brothers, Placebo, Underworld, Leftfield, Fischerspooner, Gazelle Twin, Moby, New Order and Super Furry Animals. Both ‘Archive One’ and the ‘Red’ series are acclaimed as THE defining techno albums and 12 inches of the genre. They paved the way for all that followed and are used as a blueprint for quality, style and music production levels and are just as relevant now as they were when originally released. By disposing of the status quo virtues that music must be polished and prepared, Dave Clarke is an underground-championing artist with principles that can’t be bought or sold. The journey to reclaim the rights to ‘Archive One’ and the ‘Red Series’ began in 2016 and stands as a rare success story in label rights. Clarke, alongside a close-knit and dedicated team, persevered through nearly a decade of legalities, fuelled by the unwavering belief in the music’s enduring legacy. The reissue of ‘Archive One’; and ‘Red Series’ not only celebrates but also underscores the importance of finding the right label, emphasising the positive relationship between artist and label. Clarke’s 20-year partnership with Skint Records exemplifies how mutual trust and collaboration can yield remarkable results, allowing artists to share their music with a global audience. Furthermore, the digital release of ‘Archive One’ & the ‘Red Series’ marks a significant shift in how music is consumed and appreciated in the digital age. Embracing streaming platforms, Dave Clarke recognises the cultural significance of making his music accessible to a new generation of listeners, prioritising the impact of his art. As the music industry grapples with the challenges of digitalisation and changing consumer behaviours, ‘Red’ and ‘Archive One’ serve as a poignant reminder of the perpetual value of music. Beyond mere entertainment, great music has the power to shape careers, communities, and even politics. The reissue is not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane but a bold reaffirmation of the roots of all that techno is. As techno continues to evolve, Clarke’s legacy remains indelibly etched in the annals of music history, inspiring generations of artists before and to come.

Uner presents “NIN3S” with new single “Void & Dark”
“It’s been a very gentle process of composing on my piano and letting the feelings flow, thinking about every single step of the “creation” and giving the entire composition personality through every moment of the event.” – NIN3S An ethereal sonic soundscape that marks a fresh creative chapter for NIN3S, “Void & Dark” is the new double A-side single from one of Spain’s most forward-thinking artists. Taken from the forthcoming two-part album “Beginning” which tells the story of creation, “Void & Dark” sets the scene for an epic aural interpretation of the very essence of human nature. “NIN3S was a new beginning – the beginning and the end at the same time; it is the most “me” in terms of music, composition and personality. No boundaries, not defined by gigs and clubbing, not defined by anything but to make music from the soul.” – NIN3S With the beautifully melancholic piano that leads the original version contrasting with the urgency and growling electronic synths of the NIN3S Revision, this is the first chapter of a two-sided story that will pair with a brand-new live show to push boundaries both acoustically and visually. Written as a heartfelt, downtempo piano album, each track from “Beginnings” is paired with an electronic “Revision”, providing a completely new perspective on the NIN3S project that reflects the artists’ roots in club culture, and feeds into the forthcoming live A/V show. “The first version was the piano version – the other one is like the “other side” of NIN3S, taking my background in electronic music and giving it a different perspective. It’s like Ying and Yang, day and night – different energies and, of course, two different versions for the live show that allow me to play the same track from a completely different perspective.” – NIN3S An ambitiously creative project that is steeped in storytelling, “Void & Dark” is a creation of both sight and sound – a taste of a much bigger sonic offering through the forthcoming album “Beginning”, and a completely original live show that promises to reflect the scope of one of life’s most esoteric mysteries.

Shlømo drops new release on his own Taapion Records with ‘I’m Not Done Yet’
Revered Shlømo has been hailed as a Godfather to modern club culture in France over the past decade. After releasing a string of collaborations with artists like Vladimir Cauchemar, KRL MX and Peligre, as well as a full EP under his Vipa Diva moniker last year, ‘The Daddiest’ now returns to his own Taapion Records with his highly-anticipated new single, ‘I’m Not Done Yet’. Out now across all streaming platforms, the aptly titled production marks an official solo comeback for one of techno’s most in-demand artists. Alongside the release of ‘I’m Not Done Yet’, Shlømo also announces the new schedule for his latest run of Welcome Back Devil events, which includes a host of dates across Europe and North America. Shlømo’s mighty comeback single ‘I’m Not Done Yet’ is another masterclass in high-impact techno that champions the mind-crushing energy that we’ve come to know and love from the Frenchman’s output. Unlike most Hard Techno cuts, Shlømo’s latest offering balances feel and function with ease, providing listeners with an unrelenting club experience that’s rich in sonic exploration. Perfect for those peak time moments and conducive to the darkened, sweaty clubs in which his brand of techno was born, ‘I’m Not Done Yet’ is both raw and celestial, playing with a rhythmic intensity that only serves to compliment his collage of vibrant, industrial synth hits. A sublime concoction of Techno, Schranz and IDM, Shlømo’s solo revival proves once again why he remains a pioneer of his craft. Shlømo’s commitment to the progression of Techno’s underground realms has ensured his continued relevance in an ever-evolving music scene and has positioned him as one of the most sought-after artists in dance music. Curating the ever-popular, internationally-renowned Welcome Back Devil event series, as well as his acclaimed Taapion imprint.

beastboi. Unveils Double-Sided Debut Album, "WINGZ & FANGZ"
Since debuting in 2019, beastboi.'s imaginative take on bass music has remained a hallmark of his sound. Today, he continues to bring his otherworldly sound to life by virtue of his debut album, WINGZ & FANGZ, out now via Disciple. Split between two discs, WINGZ & FANGZ is a genre-defiant masterstroke, flowing between ethereal, house-influenced sounds to the dark depths of riddim. Throughout each of the album's 15 tracks, beastboi. delivers a one-of-a-kind showcase with the help of sydcxx, Jack Blom, Shrike! and Xae along the way. beastboi.c/o Press The first part of the album opens with "DREAM704," an airy track lifted by sydcxx's enchanting vocals and fluttering synths. The pace quickly changes, however, as his collaboration with Jack Blom increases the tempo significantly. Part two strays far from the dreaminess of part one. Instead, beastboi. shows his fangs and lets his sound go haywyre. This section starts with "FRONT SEAT," which hits listeners with a no-holds-barred barrage of bass. The energy is matched throughout each of the nine songs here before reaching its apex in "WEAPON X." All said and done, WINGZ & FANGZ is an impressive release for beastboi. It's a debut unlike most, rife with unfiltered creativity to deliver an incredibly unique record showcasing a sound all his own.

Charli XCX and Gesaffelstein Go "B2b" for New Single Off Upcoming Album, "Brat": Listen
After her recent Boiler Room DJ set, Charli XCX declared that she "came from the clubs." Now, we're getting another taste of her full-blown foray into dance music after she released a new single produced by one of the genre's most influential producers. Ahead of the release of her sixth studio album Brat, the British pop star, who was recently honored with the ASCAP Global Impact Award, has joined forces with French electronic music icon Gesaffelstein for "B2b." Starting with an acid-inspired bassline, he lays down a steady beat before Charli XCX jumps in with a characteristically catchy hook that will linger in your head long after it ends. While the production is minimal in nature, you can certainly hear the sounds of Gesaffelstein—fans of whom affectionately call the "dark prince of techno"—blending seamlessly with the infectious pop stylings of Charli. "B2b" follows "Club classics" and "Von dutch" as the third single off Brat, which is scheduled to release on June 7th. Meanwhile, Gesaffelstein last week released his first album in nearly five years, the stunning GAMMA. He's now set to return to Indio later this month to perform at Coachella 2024.

Anti Up Drop Dual Dynamite Tracks, Electrifying Coachella Buzz: Listen
In the run-up to Coachella 2024, Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo, known collectively as Anti Up, are dialing up the heat with the release of two big singles. "Control The Media" is a hypnotizing house marvel, weaving an ominous narrative with its mantra-like hook: "Control the airwaves, control the mind." The track's build-up leads to a cataclysmic drop highlighted by thunderous kicks and a stark, minimal lead that cuts through the mix with precision. Its simplicity belies its depth, compelling listeners to ponder the message against a characteristically infectious rhythmic breakdown. On the flip side, "The Weekend" is a high-octane anthem for escapism and unapologetic revelry. With lyrics that feel almost conversational, it's a musical embodiment of the no-holds-barred spirit of the weekend, inviting us to shed the shackles of the workweek and dive headfirst into the thrill of the moment. The track's energy is underscored by production that doesn't shy away from delivering the same thumping action that has long-defined Anti Up's sound. Emerging as twin titans of sound ahead of the duo's hotly anticipated Coachella debut, both tracks underpin Anti Up's continued evolution, pushing the boundaries of house music while remaining true to the basslines that have cemented their status as industry leaders.

Zeds Dead and Flux Pavilion, two of the biggest names in dubstep and bass music, have finally released their first collaboration, joining forces with DeathbyRomy for "Waves." The new track captures the hallmark sounds of all three, leading to a dream collaboration. DeathbyRomy's haunting vocals pave the way for ethereal, synth-heavy soundscapes to blossom in the mix before we're met with the drop's growls and warbling bass. The anthemic single fits perfectly into a festival setting and it's something fans can certainly expect to hear from each artist all summer long. While this may only be Zeds Dead's second song of the year following the release of "Back Bus" (with REAPER), Flux Pavilion has been on a tear.

Yotto and AVIRA's New Single is an Anthemic Ode to Emotional Emancipation: Listen
Yotto and AVIRA have joined forces to release "Forget," a melodic house masterclass in capturing the paradoxical pain and liberation of letting go. Out now on Yotto's Odd One Out label, the track features an aching vocal performance by ALSO ASTIR. His lyrics viscerally evoke the suffocating grip of lingering attachment, likening it to physical shackles restraining the soul: "Your heart will enslave me / With collars on my wrists." Then his pleas to "let me forget our time" cut like a knife, severing those emotional chains. But Yotto and AVIRA's haunting production provides a soundtrack to those anguished recollections flooding back, only to cede to transcendent, expansive choruses—the mind finally escaping its ghost. As the song escalates, it swells with anthemic grandeur, ultimately delivering a profound yet danceable exploration of how letting go is both brutal and restorative.

Tunes Of The Month – Hottest Tracks Of March 2024
These are the songs that shaped our month, from work to the club, and back. MIAMI. MUSIC. WEEK. BABY. March is quite an interesting month for the Dance world. Neverending days and nights of pool parties, dancing at Space, watching the palm trees with a drink in hand, and, well, a little gathering called Ultra Music Festival. Everything happens in March, and everything happened in MMW as well with the climate not behaving as a good child. Of course, the city and the scene surfed through the gushes and the rain like pros and kept partying from Tuesday to Sunday regardless. For all that new music shaping the Dance scene and which we had the pleasure to encounter, we’ve decided to make a little recap highlighting those tunes we can’t get out of our heads. So please sit back, put on your best set of headphones, and read on, as we unveil our top tracks of the Miami-devoted month of 2024. 5. Chris Avantgarde & Kevin de Vries — Killa [UNRELEASED] Genre(s): Tech House Release Date: N/A Mood(s): Groovy, Tense One of the hardest, toughest, most lemon-face-inducing IDs of the month came by the hand of veteran collaborators Chris Avantgarde and Kevin de Vries. The pair, while separately crushing the entire Dance scene with their own projects, have come together for tracks such as ‘Mind Control’ and a remix of the incredibly popular track ‘Mwaki’ by Zerb and Sofiya Nzau. This one, an upcoming release on John Summit’s Experts Only imprint — if we connected the dots properly anyway —, sees the pair come through with a more powerful track than ever before, known for now as ‘Killa‘. Spot it as the opening track of the below-attached set of John on a Summit. 4. Anyma & Chris Avantgarde — Eternity (Massano Remix) Genre(s): Melodic Techno Release Date: March 29th, 2024 Mood(s): Epic, Energetic Given a name for the first time during the Afterlife tour through South America, Massano turned to remixing duties on one of Anyma‘s hit tracks of 2023, ‘Eternity‘. To say we heard it a ton over the month, particularly during MMW, would be an understatement. And with god reason. Massano’s take grabs the original version and completes it with more unpredictable left and right turns, all while upping the thumpiness of the beat to new levels. Don’t open a Melodic Techno set with this. 3. Rebūke — Along Came Polly (Konstantin Sibold, CARMEE & ZAC Remix) [UNRELEASED] Genre(s): Melodic Techno Release Date: N/A Mood(s): Energetic, Sexy The original ‘Along Came Polly‘ — the song, not the movie — came out half a decade ago. And the remix is not out yet, nor has it been provided a public release date. But we did hear it a bunch over these past weeks, enough times to cut into our list and take the bronze medal. Honestly, the energy of the remixers is such that, by the time you’ve noticed, you will probably have listened to it enough times to justify its third place as well. 2. The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (John Summit & Silver Panda Remix) Genre(s): Tech House Release Date: January 26th, 2024 Mood(s): Groovy, Happy I mean, it’s the perfect slap of nostalgia, in the perfect Tech House style that doesn’t turn repetitive, and the ideal singalong for the month of Miami. It’s the optimal amount of cheese. ‘Sweet Disposition‘ is a track we all know and love — I hope —, and Miami kept that bar sky high. John Summit and Silver Panda? You cannot go wrong. Honourable Mentions As every month, there was a ton of new material which, even though didn’t make the cut into our list, shouldn’t be overlooked. This month, though, we can’t really share the ungodly amount of music we loved, and so, a really good summary of everything is to take a look into the Ultra Miami sets already up on YouTube. You can go through the entirety of April listening to these! 1. Sharam – PATT (Party All The Time) (Adam Beyer, Layton Giordani & Green Velvet Remix) Genre(s): Techno (Peak Time) Release Date: April 5th, 2024 [CONFIRMED] Mood(s): Banging, Happy Re-claiming its golden medal, the trophy, the champagne, and everything else, is ‘PATT‘. If it was everywhere in January, you can only begin to imagine how many plays this excellent Peak Time Techno rendition of the 2006 hit, 80s-nodding track got. In simple words, there are fewer grains of sand on a beach than supports of this track throughout March. Coming out TOMORROW, check out the otherworldly work of three legends coming together for, arguably, the remix of the year so far. 1:18:50 for all yous. Final Words What are your top tunes from last month? Which artists are you most excited about for April? Did we miss any tracks? We’re eagerly waiting for what’s to come these next couple of days. Be sure to follow our page to stay up to date on the latest news and views regarding EDM! The post Tunes Of The Month – Hottest Tracks Of March 2024 appeared first on EDMTunes.

Field Day Festival to Return to London With Justice, PinkPantheress, Charlotte de Witte and More
For nearly two decades, Field Day Festival has been one of London's most beloved events and a platform for seasoned headliners and emerging talents alike. Programmed by the legendary Broadwick Live, the team behind DRUMSHEDS, Printworks and more, Field Day's multiple stages allow festivals to curate their own personalized lineups and to explore the vibrant installations on offer. After last year’s edition saw electronic music vanguards Aphex Twin and Bonobo set the stages ablaze for over 50,000 attendees, Field Day 2024 is back to close out summer with a bang.

UKF Tour Returns To New Zealand
We had a catch up with Audiology’s Mitch Lowe ahead of their UKF New Zealand Tour which starts tonight. Grab your tickets here. Hi, How are you? Hi! I am great thanks, well I can’t complain after a week away in Bora Bora – had to get one last trip in before the baby arrives. Dad life incoming: July 2024. Talk to us about Audiology, who are you as a company? What do you do? Audiology is an electronic music touring company that prides itself on doing cool shit. We are a group of music fans that are passionate about all things in bass music – and I’d like to think that shows in the way we present ourselves. We are an independent events company and started from nothing, so we are just enjoying the crazy 15 year journey we have been on, and we plan to never stop pushing the boundaries for events across Aotearoa. What have you been up to recently? We’re just getting into the busy period in terms of our summer planning- end of the year. All the festival bookings seem to hit at once. On the Audiology front, we’re kicking off the UKF Festival tour this week, so that’s exciting, but our calendar never stops with over 150 shows a year – we can sleep later in life, surely? We are also in the thick of planning our favourite winter festival called Mardi Gras, it’s the wildest street party you can imagine, you’ll have to come check it out sometime. How did Audiology get started? It was a bit of an accident and an amalgamation of things. I tried to start a clothing label, ran out of cash and had no way to market it. Throwing a launch party to ‘advertise the brand’ felt like the only viable option, so I got my friends to sell tickets, booked some local DJs, had a massive night- aka woke up with no shoes and some cash in my pocket, and thought wow… ‘Imagine if I could do that again next month!” Over the years tiny $5 club shows slowly turned into medium-sized $10 club shows – and the rest is history. Obviously there have been hundreds of mistakes and learnings along the way, but persistence beats failure and I knew this is what I wanted to do from that very moment. Passion finds a way of getting you through anything… even the billing arguments with agents…Just. Any stand-out moments? It’s truly hard to pick a few given we have done 1500+ events, but here goes: Delivering the largest D&B headline show in NZ history with Sub Focus, Dimension and Friction in a 7000 cap warehouse. The Prodigy’s last ever show as a full band, RIP Keith. Seeing Hybrid Minds and Netsky both sell out their “& Friends” tours in a crazy concept that we co-created Talk to us about the scene in NZ… What makes it special? I believe it’s the people. We are a country that punches above our weight in terms of population. We do it in sport, but more importantly we do it in drum and bass. There are a few things the artists always compliment, the energy and size of the crowds, the beautiful landscape the country has, and the hospitality that we provide. We pride ourselves on all three of those things at Audiology, we genuinely love the artists and consider them friends, so there’s a real family feel here in NZ and that makes it (extra) special. We want to know more about Castle Street… A small part of me wishes I went to university in Dunedin because holy damn they are wild. Those street parties are next level. Don’t get me wrong, I live vicariously through the artists we send down there and the amazing content we get, but it would be a different story flatting there and being deep amongst it. Castle Street has seen some things… You’ve got a UKF tour coming up, what can we expect? Indeed. This is a really special one for us – to understand the importance of this you’d have to go back to when I was DJing in the 2010 era and UKF was my life, so to be here 14 years later in partnership staying true to the brand (dubstep, DNB, all things bass) it feels authentically full circle. I love every single act on the bill and delivering multi-stage boutique festivals is what we do best. So what can you expect? Expect it all. We’d like to hear your opinions on small, grassroots promotions vs bigger productions, underground artists grow through smaller events but they can very rarely survive financially, and big raves are fantastic but what happens to the underground if they are the only viable events for promoters and ravers? I believe we have found a model that inadvertently answers this question. We operate as a grassroots promotion- which we genuinely are, but with big ambitions, goals and the drive of a big multi-national. We listen to what the people want, that’s our number one objective. So for that reason, we have never stopped delivering the underground club shows as we know the importance of them, not only for artists financially, but for how they feed our larger scale show offerings. I feel deep down people want unique, fun, inclusive experiences – they want to feel like they’re a part of something. That is what bass music is! If you think about it, where else can they display their love for the underground than at the live shows themselves. That’s the beautiful thing about what we do, we fill that gap in people’s lives allowing them to express who they are, our events are purely a vessel. By listening to what the people want, and staying true to the brand, you can create loyalty, which results in longevity, whether the shows are big or small.

ANNA, Rebūke, Victor Ruiz And More To Feature On Upcoming Global Underground Compilation
Now 20+ years into her highly celebrated and revered career, Anna Miranda AKA ANNA ascended to stardom in a unique and special way. At age 14, young Anna would listen to the sets played by local DJs in her father’s nightclub Six, on the outskirts of São Paulo. She realised that the same tracks appeared again and again each week. She convinced her father she could do better… and she did. For many years now, ANNA has called Lisbon her home. The city’s music and passion run deep through her veins. For Lisboetas, ANNA’s trademark sound encapsulates the effortless chic and vibrant nightlife of one of the coolest cities in Europe. So, who better to bring you the Lisbon edition of the seminal Global Underground series than ANNA? ANNA’s dynamic sound encompasses multiple styles and genres – from Ambient through House to Techno. Connectivity and spirituality are key in her music as is her incredible Lisbon studio set-up, as can be heard on her intense and exotic single ‘Kalimba Dreams‘, set to be released on Global Underground on April 5th. ‘Kalimba Dreams’ is one of several new and exclusive tracks on GU46: Lisbon along with ANNA’s collab with Rebūke, the magnificent ‘Ignite‘. Wehbba’s superb track ‘Symmetry‘ and Paul Roux‘s beautiful ‘Baby, Baby‘ were written especially for ANNA for GU46: Lisbon, as were other incredible tracks by Victor Ruiz, Tao Andra, and Binaryh. Other artists featured across GU46: Lisbon include BICEP, Bonobo & Jacques Greene, TSHA, Mind Against, Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini, Yotto and Agents Of Time. “I chose music that makes me feel the way that Lisbon makes me feel, and selected the full spectrum of my music taste, including ambient, house and techno. So, there’s this sense of aliveness, of uplifting energy that reflects the diversity of the city… Few places make me feel as stimulated, inspired and fulfilled as Lisbon. It’s a city where I feel totally at home and at peace.“ – ANNA You can preorder the new GU46 album here. Stay tuned for more news!
