Trentemøller drops ‘Dreamweavers’
Recently, the world got to hear the first new music from Copenhagen’s master of dream pop, Trentemøller, since 2022. “A Different Light” dropped on May 17th, showcasing a stunning blend of psychedelia, space rock, and folk. Additionally, a new full-length was announced: Dreamweaver will be available in September, on Friday the 13th, on Trentemøller’s own In My Room label. The second preview from the new album is the “Dreamweavers” single. Whereas “A Different Light” featured no drums, relying on a plucked nylon string guitar to provide rhythm, “Dreamweavers” finds its first footings with a soft percussive trot. It starts after what feels like a shortwave radio scan in search of the right chords, eventually dialling in a weightless voice. With the test roll of the song approved, the rest of the elements assemble into place with a grand, luxurious burst. It would be easy to ride this wave for eternity, but the third section of this micro suite develops into a push/pull relationship of arpeggio and woozy synth pads. Little by little, almost imperceptibly, subtle elements emerge, like a morning glory climbing a trellis, with buds emerging as it tracks along its winding path in the pre-dawn. Then, with a burst of sunlight, a thousand buds of melody bloom as the song reaches its climax. Eventually, with no foreshadowing, the tendrils wind around the radio’s capacitors and the song short-circuits. The music is the work of Trentemøller, while the vocal performance and abstract lyrics come courtesy of Iceland’s Disa, who has been in Trentemøller’s orbit since the Memoria tour, where she stunned audience members with her own reimagined versions of songs from the catalogue. Additionally, Disa contributed to 2022’s “Into The Silence,” as well as Trentemøller’s nod to his old friends The Raveonettes, a cover of their “Cops On Our Tail.” While the song has a melancholic feel that fans of his music are familiar with, “I also feel it’s got a hopeful element to it,” says Trentemøller. “It ponders love, connections, and intimacy. It’s not a sad song, even if there’s always an unavoidable feeling that relationships can be fleeting.” Stream / download here The post Trentemøller drops ‘Dreamweavers’ appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

Listen to Kaskade, John Summit and Julia Church's Breathtaking Dance Anthem, "Resonate"
With a techno pulse that's both hauntingly beautiful and undeniably dancefloor-worthy, Kaskade and John Summit's new single "Resonate" lives up to its name. While Summit is newer to the game than his tenured counterpart, both producers have proven themselves architects of anguished, vocal-driven festival anthems that cut to the heart. The awe-inspiring "Resonate" is no different, exploring our innate need for connection—both personal and cosmic—by melding techno futurism with raw human emotion. With undulating bass that churns beneath teeth-rattling kick drums, the production is a masterclass in atmospheric yet hard-hitting dance music. But amongst the mayhem, there's a profound intimacy in the lyrics, delivered by a typically breathtaking Julia Church. "Feel like I've been with you from the start," she quavers. It's a tour de force from Church, who is quickly blossoming into one of the global dance music scene's most in-demand vocalists. Soaring over Kaskade and Summit's pulsing basslines, her vocals paint vivid imagery of celestial wonder while evoking a burning desire to share perspectives and be fully present: "I want to see it through your eyes / The moon, the stars and the sky / Slowly letting go of time." Following a massive road-test during Summit's Coachella 2024 set, the new single arrives ahead of the breakout house music producer's long-awaited debut album, Comfort In Chaos. He said the album, which is due out on July 12th, is the "most vulnerable work" of his career. Listen to "Resonate" below.

Apple Reportedly Suspends Work On Vision Pro 2
According to The Information reports, Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset. This was done to focus on the cheaper model. Considering the first model cost $3,500, this is not all too surprising. There are not many people on this planet willing to spend that type of money on a headset. I think we all were on the same page to wait it out as the technology will only get better and cheaper. Apple has told at least one supplier the news which led to these rumors. Analysis and supply chain partners have flagged slow sales for the Vision Pro 1. The company is currently working on releasing a more affordable vision product in 2025. Apple was originally going to make two models similar to its iPhone line with a “Pro” model and a “standard” model. The objective is to sell the cheaper model for around the same price as a high-end iPhone, which retails for up to $1,600. Apple has produced no more than 500,000 Vision Pro units this year, with no plans to make significantly more than this through August.

Google’s DeepMind Can Sync Soundtrack and Dialogue to Videos
Google has an artificial intelligence (AI) lab, DeepMind, and it has taken their video content, as well as movie and TV production, to a whole new level. According to a blog post that DeepMind posted, the lab has made progress on their video-to-audio (V2A) technology. This type of technology combines video pixels and text prompts to generate outstanding soundtracks to enhance video content. On that blog post, DeepMind also shared that their V2A technology can pair with video generation models such as Veo and they can “create shots with a dramatic score, realistic sound effects or dialogue that matches the characters and tone of a video”. The V2A technology from Google’s DeepMind brings out innovation for video content According to a post from Music Business Worldwide, The V2A technology from DeepMind can generate a vast amount of soundtracks for video input so that it can “understand raw pixels”. In this way, the tech can figure out which sounds are appropriate to utilize for the specific video content. For example, if someone put down “jellyfish pulsating under water, marine life, ocean” (check out that specific audio prompt by clicking on the first link above), they can see a video of jellyfish moving around in the ocean. DeepMind even added that it also generate soundtracks for a range of other traditional footage as well such as silent films and archival footage. This is definitely a whole big step in the industry of AI-created audio and production and DeepMind is for sure an innovator in this field. Check out another prompt from YouTube below this paragraph.

For each can sold Sub Slub and the Brewgooder Foundation will donate 5p each to the Dazzle Project, raising more than £5,000 per annum for the programme, which aims to create equality of opportunity in the dance and electronic music scene in Glasgow and beyond through skills workshops. Delivered in partnership with The Sound Lab, the Dazzle Project provides six weeks of introductory-level tuition, aimed at breaking down barriers for individuals who wouldn’t otherwise get the opportunity. With touring DJs, producers and guest speakers from across the industry, addressing topics such as securing DJ residencies, the role of club nights, music communities and local radio, gender barriers, marketing, label management and many others. By the end of the six weeks, the aim is to provide participants with the means to articulate their taste through DJing and provide the early, necessary information and skills to begin exploring their own electronic music journey. The broad aim of the Dazzle Project is to contribute to structural change in the music industry and improve the representation of marginalised groups in Scotland. Sub Club, Managing Director, Mike Grieve said: “With a long-standing ambition to have our own lager in the club, and having worked closely with Brewgooder over the last couple of years, it makes perfect sense for us to align our brands with this project as we share the common ethos of adding positive purpose to our commercial activities. “The Dazzle Project is still in its infancy but already from the first exploratory series of workshops we have seen real-life success with participants going on to do paid gigs and set up their own events. The additional funding this great new lager will provide will help bring more bright new talent to the fore, and we are really excited to get started – and as an added bonus, the new Subbie lager looks and tastes fantastic!” Brewgooder co-founder James Hughes said: “Having worked with the Sub Club team for a couple years now, there has always been alignment of ethos and values. So when we learned about their Dazzle Project, we saw an obvious opportunity to collaborate and produce not only a great looking and tasting product but also a house beer that will forever exist to enable better opportunities for others, which entirely aligns with the purpose we founded Brewgooder on back in 2016.” Paul Sullivan, Chair of The Sound Lab, said: “The Sound Lab exists to make access to music and creative opportunities accessible to everyone. We specialise in supporting young people who face multiple and enduring systemic, cultural, and financial barriers to accessing music. We want to make music available to everyone, not just a privileged few. Every year, through our free, expert tuition and mentoring, we support hundreds of young people to gain vital skills and opportunities which they may otherwise be prevented from accessing. “We are delighted to be part of the Dazzle Project and supporting equitable access to the electronic music industry. Sub Club have been fantastic partners and it’s so important that Scotland’s most famous music venue is living true to the ethos of supporting underground music. Dazzle is the perfect vehicle for this and we are so excited to be part of its next stage.” The post Glasgow Sub Club Dazzle Lager – made for dancing in collaboration with Brewgooder appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

Moore Kismet Channels State of Mind Into Sound With New Single, "Overthinking Out Loud"
Moore Kismet's "Overthinking Out Loud" is a raw, honest glimpse into the mind of an artist unafraid to confront their inner demons and share that vulnerability with the world. With their latest release, the EDM.com Class of 2021 inductee has once again pushed the boundaries of their artistic expression. As Kismet continues to rise, their willingness to tackle difficult emotions and share their journey through dance music sets them apart. Out now via UKF, "Overthinking Out Loud" is a product of Kismet's exploration of their mental health and self-doubt, wrapped in a meticulously crafted soundscape. The vibrant track is a candid explication, Kismet says, of the tempestuous nature of their mind on any given day. "'Overthinking Out Loud' is a song about my mind and the onslaught of anxious, depressive, and otherwise random thoughts that run through my mind about what people's perceptions of me are, if it's worth it to continue pursuing music as a career, and if I should even keep living my life," Kismet said. "I wanted to write a song that encapsulated these feelings and put them into sound." Kismet's latest contribution to the UKF catalogue comes amid the label's landmark 15 year anniversary. Take a listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.

Johannes Brecht releases ‘Call Me Monday’
Electronic music producer Johannes Brecht is getting back to his jazz beginnings on his forthcoming album Disparaître. After making a name for himself over the last decade as part of the Diynamic Music family, touring alongside acts like Solomun and Stimming, Brecht is now revisiting his origins in jazz with a new experimental album merging electronic and acoustic sounds. For Disparaître, due out June 28th, Brecht has reunited with his old jazz ensemble featuring Antonio Farris on keys and Matteo Capreoli on acoustic guitar. The trio first came together 15 years ago in Stuttgart, bonding over their shared love of jazz and performing weekly gigs at local venues. Though they went their separate ways for many years, with Brecht becoming an acclaimed electronic artist, something drew him back to reconnect with his former bandmates. The new song, Call Me Monday The latest single “Call Me Monday” is a tantalizing preview of the album’s genre-blurring sound. A pulsing techno beat anchors the track, while organic instrumentation dances around it in an improvisatory fashion. The acoustic and electronic elements converse and react to each other, capturing the energy and spontaneity of a live jazz group. The track is extremely playable live, I can imagine a really energetic set with it – Brecht said about the crossover appeal of “Call Me Monday.” On Disparaître, Brecht aims to let the music take the spotlight, with the individual personas disappearing into the collaborative ensemble. It’s a departure from his renowned solo work, but also a circular journey back to his jazz roots reinterpreted through the lens of his electronic career. The inventive merging of acoustic and programmed sounds promises to make Disparaître one of the summer’s most intriguing albums for fans of forward-thinking, genre-defying music. With “Call Me Monday,” Johannes Brecht is getting the reunion band back together and embarking on an exciting new creative path.

Authentically Proud: Steven Braines
At UKF, we believe that marking Pride Month in the most authentic way means amplifying the voices of those within the LGBTQIA+ community. This year, we asked members how this heritage moment should be honoured and celebrated. By sharing their insights and experiences, we aim to foster understanding, solidarity, and a renewed commitment to equality. Through these conversations, we aim to highlight the importance of Pride and inspire our readers to support LGBTQIA+ rights not just during June, but all year round. In this interview, we dive into why marking heritage moments like Pride Month is crucial, exploring the significance of visibility, community, and ongoing activism. We also discuss how brands, artists, promoters, and labels can meaningfully support the LGBTQIA+ community. From amplifying queer voices and fostering inclusivity in line-ups to ensuring year-round representation and standing against prejudice, the insights shared offer a blueprint for genuine allyship. Join us as we listen to these vital perspectives and learn how we can all contribute to a more inclusive and celebratory world. Today we spoke to Steven Braines the CEO of The Weird & The Wonderful and HE.SHE.THEY. Is it important to mark heritage moments such as Pride Month and why? Yes, I believe it is very important to mark heritage moments like Pride Month. We’ve come a long way in the UK and globally but there’s still further to go. Like, banning conversion therapy and not trying to vilify trans/nb people as the Tory government and others have done to distract from their own failings. There are also a lot of places around the world that aren’t tolerant. The number of places my boyfriend and I can’t go because same-sex activity is criminalised is 64 and in 9 it’s punishable by death. We march for those who can’t and give them hope that they can and will one day be free too. Even in many cities in the UK, it feels unsafe to walk down the street hand in hand with your queer partner or kiss them whereas for straight couples it would never cross their mind. Just remember LGBTQIA+ don’t want more rights than anyone else just the same. Often I’m the only queer person in a room from a family gathering, or work, or wherever and being not the minority for once can feel liberating in itself where many of us grow up saddled with shame and don’t come out immediately, some never do. I know it pisses some people off – “Why should they have a Pride?” but trust me, if the world was upside down and straight people went through this stuff, and 95% of characters in movies, adverts, and on tv were LGBTQIA+, if the majority of people who made the laws that govern you were LGBTQIA+, if you were also the only straight person all the time in a room, and if you couldn’t go to a lot of the world then you’d probably want to celebrate yourself too. The amount of homophobia and transphobia ramps up in Pride Month, it’s insane but I refuse to be a coward. I first went to gay clubs with my straight mates because I didn’t have queer friends so I also, personally, am more than happy to see allies at Pride because if there weren’t I wouldn’t have been there myself. It’s also important to remember those who have fought for us to get here and honour them and all the people who never got to enjoy the freedoms that we did. Stonewall was a turning point but it’s also important to recognise the efforts of others who fought for rights before that too. It’s also important when looking at history and seeing times when it was legal and then illegal again to be queer etc or being trans was then wasn’t recognised and accepted that rights can be taken away far more easily than they are won. So we can’t rest. How would you like to see brands (artists, promoters, labels) marking Pride Month? By handing the mic over it’s LGBTQIA+ workers but also doing stuff outside of Pride too. That’s what most people will tell you. We see brands that only support in June and then fuck off again. I do think it’s important to see businesses, and allies supporting LGBTQIA+ rights because it normalises it and that’s important. A lot of my idols were and are straight of course so them saying it’s alright to be who you are and that you’re valid and loved takes away a lot of shame. I want labels to sign LGBTIQIA+ artists and promoters to put them on line ups all year round. Do a queer remix package in January because why not. Remember there are queer and trans black people so in black history month remember them too. Marking Pride Month is important for several reasons. Firstly, it honours the long and often difficult struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality, from the Stonewall Riots to the fight for marriage equality and beyond. It’s a way to remember those who fought tirelessly for the rights we enjoy today. Secondly, Pride fosters a sense of community, belonging and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals who may face stigma, rejection or isolation in their daily lives. Thirdly, the visibility of Pride Month helps to educate the broader public, dispel stereotypes and prejudice, and promote greater understanding and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people. Finally, marking Pride Month is a reminder that the work of building a fully inclusive society is ongoing and that we all have a role to play in creating a world where everyone can thrive as their authentic selves. I think in genres where there is the least LGBTQIA+ visibility and/or where homophobia & transphobia exist it’s even more vital for allies to speak up in this way. It’s also nice for artists to collaborate with LGBTQIA+ artists to raise their visibility. Promoters of festivals could have a room/stage that is LGTBQIA+ skewed- that doesn’t mean that’s the only place to see LGBTQIA+ artists they should have mainstage representation too! Also, have uncomfortable conversations, post stuff the algorithm might not like, that might cost you some streams, have an opinion and take a stand. Do you really need a bigot’s money that badly not to? What would you like to see brands doing to support the queer bass music community? To support the queer bass music community specifically, I’d love to see brands; booking and promoting more queer and trans artists, especially BIPOC female & trans/nb talent as they are the ones often booked least. You can’t become a ticket pull or a star if no one ever signs you or books you first. There’s talent there- no one is saying book someone untalented. If you don’t know where that talent is google it. Ask your queer mates – if you don’t have any queer mates – maybe ask yourself why you don’t? At our events for HE.SHE.THEY. we put up posters that include things like NO HOMOPHOBIA, NO TRANSPHOBIA, NO RACISM so people know what is not tolerated in a space in real life or online. Also, brands can celebrate the legacy and artistry of queer bass music pioneers. Any great resources you know of? Some excellent resources for learning more and getting involved: – The Queer Nightlife Fund: https://queernight.life/ – Stonewall Community Foundation: https://stonewallfoundation.org/ – GLAAD: https://www.glaad.org/ – Gendered Intelligence – https://genderedintelligence.co.uk Anything else you’d like to add? I’d just emphasize that supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, in bass music and beyond, is a year-round responsibility. While Pride Month is an important time for celebration and visibility, the work of building equity and inclusion is ongoing. We all have a part to play in uplifting queer voices, and challenging oppression in all forms like misogyny, racism, etc, normally you find if someone is homophobic they have other prejudices too. We all have a part to play in creating a bass scene where everyone can feel seen, safe and valued. Whether you’re an artist, a promoter, a label or a raver, look for ways to support the LGBTQIA+ community in your corner of the scene. Together, we can make bass a welcoming home for all.
