As I waded through knee-deep puddles leaving Ultra’s flooded Bayfront Park grounds on Friday night, I’ll admit I had my doubts about whether the show could go on. Mother Nature had just delivered a devastating one-two punch, forcing a complete cancellation of opening night after severe thunderstorms, high winds, and tornadic conditions made it too dangerous to continue. My Ultra wristband was soaked, spirits were damp, but little did I know the festival was about to overcome this adversity in epic fashion. When Day 2 dawned, the skies had cleared, but much work needed to be done. Crews could be seen spread across the park, zamboni-ing the pools of brown rainwater off the stages and walkways. My friends and I exchanged photos of the daunted workers, wondering if they could possibly pull it off. The answer came that afternoon with a simple tweet from Ultra: “We are working hard to prepare the site before opening the doors. We will be dancing again soon.“ And boy did they ever deliver on that promise. As I re-entered the grounds around 6 pm, you’d never know Ultra had been a mud-soaked swamp just 24 hours earlier. The main stage had been reset with its ear-splitting speakers, trippy laser light shows, and fireworks ready to go. More impressively, the biggest players whose sets were zapped by storms, including Hardwell, Martin Garrix, and David Guetta, had been rescheduled. Ultra Music Festival RESISTANCE 2024 Then the magic began unfolding. Hardwell stepped up to make up for his lost moment, dropping hit after hit during his rescheduled slot as the Miami crowd cheered the triumphant comeback. Garrix kept the momentum going, and by the time Guetta took the stage, Bayfront was in a frenzy. More was still to come on Sunday’s closing night. A breathtaking drone light show choreographed to the beats lit up the sky during an unforgettable sequence. And despite not being streamed for the guys at home, Calvin Harris brought down the house as Ultra’s 2024 grand finale. While the mud-soaked start easily could have been Ultra’s downfall, the ability to rapidly regain its footing and create one of its most memorable weekends is what music festival dreams are made of. Sure, there were some minor communication lapses and hiccups along the way as Ultra rescheduled. But considering the logistical nightmare they faced after opening night, the fact that they served up an unforgettable experience over the final two days has to be considered one of the greatest Ultimate Miami Music Week “hold my beer” moments ever. All I can say is: pour me another lemonade bartender because that’s some serious ultra-level lemon-to-lemonade turnaround I just experienced!

Today, the organizers of Shindig Festival (May 23rd – 26th) revealed that the upcoming 2024 edition will mark the festival’s final installment. The complex events industry environment, along with a pattern of delayed ticket purchases and insufficient Government backing, present escalating hurdles for independent festivals’ sustainability. Numerous events face a comparable fate, with over 20 others regrettably either canceled or opting to bow out this year. Taking place at the Dillington Estate in Somerset, the event will mark its tenth and ultimate anniversary. Will Lardner of Shindig Productions asserts, “We prefer to conclude things on our own terms rather than dilute our creations. Our commitment to delivering top-notch parties is paramount, and we are steadfast in our refusal to implement significant changes that do not align with our core values just to persist.” “We are saddened to announce the final Shindig Festival, but let’s ensure it’s an unforgettable one. We’re putting all our efforts into making this weekend our greatest yet. We owe it to all of you.” Groove Armada (DJ Set), Brand New Heavies, Kurupt FM, Ewan McVicar, Congo Natty, Mad Professor, John Morales, DJ Rap, and Greg Wilson are scheduled to perform. Originally intended for the friends of the Ghetto Funk record label and their extended network, this event has evolved over time. The festival organizers aimed to blend elements from various festivals they cherished, crafting an intimate, distinctive, and truly exceptional experience. Endorsed by Emily Eavis, the organizer of Glastonbury, as a great option for those unable to secure tickets and honored as the ‘Best For Family Rave’ by Festival Kidz, this event has drawn an increasingly varied audience. Featuring a collection of themed dancefloors and corners, there are no main stages—only a delightful array of spaces to discover. Whether you enjoy the circus, comedy, or learning new skills, there is a diverse range of activities for everyone. With lively funk music and a varied lineup of entertainment suitable for all ages, Shindig Festival promises a blend of relaxation and fun for all attendees.

Loop.Fans has been built by a highly experienced team with prior experience in building and scaling multiple Web3 projects. This new platform is here to ensure that artists can earn what they deserve from their music while also building, nurturing and rewarding their fan base. Loop built the world’s first multi-utility NFT technology in 2022, meaning each token can offer a range of benefits that can be viewed, redeemed, and unlocked including exclusive content, event ticketing, private memberships, merch giveaways, metaverse experiences, and more. Loop has also built AI technology which allows artists to easily create cover art, music videos, and social media posts – areas which artists are traditionally not great at but which are essential in today’s social media-driven landscape. As part of its launch, Loop will inaugurate the Web3 Music Awards in May for both emerging and established artists to leverage the power of their fan base and climb to the top of the leaderboard. Entrants simply set up a profile on Loop.Fans, join the relevant genre and invite fans to vote by minting free digital collectables (NFTs). There are three divisions based on the number of social followers with one winner per division. For artists, Loop allows direct engagement with and monetisation of their audience. True fans are proven to be willing to pay more for exclusive content and experiences which means more income for artists while digital collectables broaden out the type of content and benefits that can be offered. The better and more exclusive the benefits the more engaged a community becomes and the more an artist can earn. What’s more, Web3 technology offers global, borderless reach so hype can be created across multiple markets and lead to exciting new collaboration opportunities and sponsorship partnerships. Apart from digital benefits, Loop also offers benefits in the real world such as at concerts and festivals where meet and greets can be offered through the release of exclusive digital VIP passes. Loop.Fans is built on the Loop Protocol, which is built on the Cosmos SDK. Having raised over US$7M in 2021, Loop Protocol is playing a key role in building the decentralised economy and providing practical, real-world applications for blockchain technology. Loop is powered by its own cutting-edge technology, all under the guidance of CEO Thomas Norwood who has a long history in building innovative technology solutions for the real world. Thomas’s vision is to help artists of all sizes realise their dreams of success. He explains, “Blockchain technology is not just revolutionising the financial industry, but democratising the music industry as well, allowing artists to have direct connections with their fans and generate more revenue than through existing platforms.” From a fan’s point of view, Loop allows membership of a fan club where they can have a closer relationship with their favourite artists, even going so far as collaborating in their work or having artists collaborate on their work (in cases where fans are also artists themselves). Fans can also become co-investors in artists, earning royalty shares as they grow, meaning, there is no longer a reliance solely on labels for funding.

Featuring the lovely, iconic vocals of Zoë Johnston, old-school Trance leads and cute soft sounds.

And that’s also true for their remix of ‘Crazy Love‘. ‘Crazy Love (ANUQRAM Remix)’ This was a great responsibility. Not only was the original coming from one of the largest acts in the Dance world out there, but the song itself is a masterpiece. But these guys jumped over the bar, and they did so in style. Groovy, progressive, catchy, the remix has it all frankly. The signature melodies are there, Zoë’s celestial voice, a breakdown that, excuse me, remids me very briefly of Above & Beyond’s very own ‘Tri-State’ — my favourite track of all time by the way —, and so many other elements I can’t begin to describe because they all entwine and play along in such a way!

Attendees hoped for a live performance, and she behind the decks felt disappointing to some. It all started when FKA Twigs backed out of AXE Ceremonia festival in Mexico City, and Grimes was announced as the heir to the spot. The gathering took place this past weekend and counted with the presence of many bands and renowned acts from all genres, such as LCD SOUNDSYSTEM and Kendrick Lamar. Since they knew of Grimes’ addition to the festival, fans were cheering and waiting for her appearance, hoping to see her perform some of her most select works to date, and some IDs as well. And that’s the key word here, “perform”, as when she appeared on stage, stood behind a DJ booth and mixed a set, festivalgoers weren’t pleased at all. Even though some say she played a killer set, people argue she should’ve mentioned she’d be playing a DJ set instead of a live performance with dancers, extra lights, and so on. As of recently, fans took to her most recent Instagram post to express their discontent. Some of the comments left on her post are (attached translation): “Girl I hated you, had you told us it was going to be a DJ set I wouldn’t have bought my ticket” “Girl why did you play a DJ set, that sucks for real” “I love you beautiful dolly, although you went too far on the DJ set, but I forgive you darling” “We were sold an event as if she was going to perform a setlist of her music and instead she came to play a DJ set (…)” What do you think? Is it fair that she received as much backlash for a DJ set? Should it have been announced ahead of time? Stay tuned for more.

WINDOWS TO LOOK IN, a project by the artist Lorenzo Senni, one of the winners of the twelfth edition of Italian Council (2023), the prestigious international programme of the Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea of the Ministry of Culture that promotes Italian art in the world. The project is part of Lorenzo Senni’s research path, which in the past has dealt with themes such as voyeurism and vandalism. In WINDOWS TO LOOK IN, the artist will create a work consisting of 14 photographs and a musical composition, exploring the concept of “false reflectivity”, conferred to the work by the special paint with which he creates the photographed subjects. These evoke the act of looking and looking at oneself, the need to compromise one’s self. The project originates from a period of research and study in Los Angeles with American photographer John Divola. During this collaboration, Senni deepened his understanding of Divo- la’s photographic technique, which emerged as a significant source of inspiration for the entire project. In particular, the famous photographic series from the 1970s entitled ‘Dead Mirrors’ plays a key role in his influence. The work will be previewed with an exhibition at the Fundação de Serralves in Porto and the entire project will be promoted internationally through a series of dedicated events, realised in collaboration with the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the MUNCH in Oslo. At the end of the international promotion, WINDOWS TO LOOK IN will be exhibited at MAXXI L’Aquila Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, and will become part of its permanent collection. The entire artistic process will be documented in a film curated by Courtney Harrenmberg and a publication that will be presented at the FONDAZIONE ICA MILANO The post Lorenzo Senni presents ‘Windows To Look In’ a project curated by Threes and selected by Italian Council appeared first on Decoded Magazine.
