Machinedrum (aka Travis Stewart) releases his long-awaited, genre-defying new album ‘3FOR82’. Between drum & bass, hip-hop, jazz, R&B and juke, Stewart weaves in an impressive crew of collaborators on ‘3FOR82’ including Jesse Boykins III, the album’s co-executive producer, plus various contributions from KUČKA, AKTHESAVIOR, Duckwrth, Ezri, Tanerélle, DeniroFarrar, TopazJones, deem spencer, ajamonet, ROZET, WillJohnson, IanMaciak and Tinashe. Throughout the album they ponder the question: “If you could visit with your younger self, what would you say to them?”. Travis himself re-visited old production methods from his teenage years making beats for the album using ImpulseTracker (a 90s software sequencer) and in that way, having a conversation with his younger self. The result is an album threading the needle between past, present and future; one that is as equally compassionate as it is boisterous, as comforting as it is defiant, and 100% true to Travis’ enduring M.O. ‘3FOR82’ builds on the vocalist-centric, genre-blending songwriting of the last Machinedrum album, 2020’s ‘A View Of U’, and the thematic groundwork laid down on the 2023 EP ‘4#TRAX’. This rich, prismatic approach to collaboration builds on the uptempo vocal manipulations that won Stewart acclaim in electronic communities, notably on 2011’s breakout LP ‘Room(s)’ and 2013 opus ‘Vapor City’. Previous singles on ‘3FOR82’ include “ZOOM (feat. Tinashe)”, “ILIKEU (feat. Duckwrth)”, “RISE (feat. ROZET)” and “WEARY (feat. Mick Jenkins & Jesse Boykins III)” which showcase Stewart’s mastery of club music and impressive range. Machinedrum takes his brand new live AV show featuring drummer Ian Maciak and visuals by Strangeloop Studios on tour this Spring/Summer. Headline shows kicked off in Australia and NZ during March, followed by North America in (May-July) and UK/EU planned for October. Tickets are on sale now for his London show at Studio9294 on 16th October. 2024 summer festivals include Northern Nights, June Jam, SolFest, BassCoast, and Bonnaroo as well as Lightning in a Bottle today, where Machinedrum will be celebrating the album’s release with a special DoLab listening party. ‘3FOR82’ is out now on NinjaTune.

The original ‘Bless This Acid House’ album was released in May 2023 and was overflowing with extraordinary collaborations with original house music icons such as Marshall Jefferson, Robert Owens, Irvine Welsh and the late Sleazy D. Made with a variety of music-making analogue hardware machines, it was designed to transport you back to a time when house music was fresh, raw and underground. A year on, this new release ‘Bless This Acid House Remixed’ does exactly what it says on the tin. Thirteen on-point, contemporary remixes of the original album tracks reworked by some of the most respected names in electronic music including Bushwacka, ITHURTZ, Jonny Aux, Black Octopus, Jon Carter, Serge Santiago, Redraft Memories & Chip-E, Transparent Sound and more. First out of the blocks, legendary acid house original Bushwacka takes the languid ‘Wish’ with Robert Owens and injects it with wiggly acid nitroglycerine. This dynamite cut is followed by Quinn from Paranoid London stepping up in his Jonny Aux guise for a punchy, squiggly, breakbeat-fuelled overhaul of ‘Take You There’ featuring the late Sleezy D. Jack Said What mainstay Serge Santiago takes ‘This Is Acid’ in an almost Italo direction; Transparent Sound morphs ‘Go Bang’ into a dark electro beast with a killer bassline undertow; and ITHURTZ twists timeless classic ‘One Day’ into a skippy, rubberised tech-house missive. Further, Jon Carter twists ‘Acid House Guys’ featuring Irvine Welsh through a glitchy techno mangle, while jackin’ house Chicago original Chip-E, alongside his mate Redraft Memories, obtain the parts to ‘Jack Said What’ — the track that gave rise to the label’s name — and take it further into the outer space technosphere. And there’s plenty more goodness in addition to these top-notch remixes, too. Shot through with an acid house sensibility, there’s sure to be a remix for a wide range of people here with any sort of interest in the culture. Steve Mac is the artist behind the ‘Bless This Acid House’ album. A UK house music heavy-hitter, he has been a pillar of the international house community virtually from the beginning. The DJ/producer is also the label boss of Jack Said What Records in partnership with infamous Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh. With over 25 years’ of experience, Steve is respected and revered for his analogue production style. Mac has also released tracks for labels such as Nervous, MoS, Cr2, Toolroom, Saved, Underwater and Ovum, and produced a number of artist albums for other people as well.

Tapping into our hunger to rekindle life's euphoric sparks, Louis The Child and Madeon's new collaboration, "Believe It," isn't as much a song as it is a locket. Shimmering with nostalgic charm, the effervescent track transports us to those sun-dappled days awash in the warm glow of a new romance. Madeon's melancholic musings flutter atop a breezy house beat from Louis The Child, a dancefloor-ready groove with an indie undertow. "So why don't we go back to where it began / So I believe it again," he implores. An undeniable summer hit with steel drums for days, "Believe It" reinforces both Louis The Child and Madeon's mastery of profoundly resonant dance-pop. It's an adrenaline shot of romantic vulnerability straight to the listener's core, daring us to leave our emotional baggage behind and embrace love's rejuvenating possibilities. But beneath the song's uplifting veneer lie deeper existential whispers about the fragility of human connection in our rapidly evolving digital age, its lyrics confronting how even the most deeply felt intimacies can fade into little more than wistful memories over time. "Believe It" encapsulates that relatable headspace while simultaneously energizing audiences with its stadium-scaled emotional swell. Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett of Louis The Child, who first met at a Madeon show, called the song's release "a real full circle moment." The French electronic music superstar was also the first artist to ever take the duo on tour, they said in a press release. "I remember when I first met Louis The Child—I knew something special was going to happen for them," Madeon gushed. "It's been fun watching their career blossom! When they asked me to collaborate, it felt like such a fun, full-circle moment. Making 'Believe It' was such a joyful, spontaneous experience. I hope that spirit comes across in the music! It makes me feel like what being a teen in the 90s must have felt like, that first wave of French house music." You can find "Believe It" on streaming platforms here.

Out now on EDM.com Class of 2023 star Westend's own Trace Amounts imprint, the sublime song isn't a house anthem for a hedonistic night, but a sonic sanctuary for the lonely soul.

Pulsing kick drums and atmospheric synth crescendos envelop us in a warm cocoon, providing a trance-like state to fully absorb the track's emotional truth.

Hydraulix and Oski have reunited to release "HAWT," a new collaboration that's equal parts hip-hop swagger and dubstep fury. The Australian compatriots are longtime collaborators, teaming up over the last decade on many projects that leave listeners simultaneously repulsed and entranced. And it's clear they haven't lost their chemistry. With its thick low end, "HAWT" is vintage "Hydroski." A testament to the boundless creativity of these two musical renegades, it's the lead single from a new collaborative EP, Hydraulix tells EDM.com. Dunking their wealth of trap and dubstep influences into a blender, "HAWT" is a middle finger to musical convention that will either enthrall or repel, depending on your tolerance for the strange and unexpected. You won't find any melodic ache or sadboi songwriting here—the track's drops plunge us into an underbelly of writhing neuro bass and distorted vox, shattering the constraints of the bass genre.

On Saturday Oliver Heldens played on the mainstage at EDC Las Vegas under his other alias HI LO doing a B2B set with Eli Brown to a packed mainstage crowd. Oliver Heldens has never struggled to pull a crowd, but this was a huge moment in his career with it being his first ever mainstage show under his HI LO alias. This is a moment he has been building up to for over 10 years as he has been slowly growing this alias and developing his skills in making techno. He has had a big shift in the type of music that he makes over this time that has taken him from dominating the charts to now being a huge name in the techno scene. Back in 2014, Oliver Heldens had a hugely successful year releasing two of his biggest songs ‘Gecko (Overdrive)’ and ‘Koala (Last All Night)’ which would launch him into the charts in the UK even achieving a number 1 hit with ‘Gecko ‘(Overdrive).’ These songs would establish his signature future house sound that he would continue to use to create plenty more massive hits. But even this early on in his career he was showing flashes of his techno potential on his collaboration with Sander Van Doorn, ‘This.’ The thundering kick and thick bass mixed with his future house bounce were just a taste of what was to come, already showing his capability to add his own twist to techno. In 2015 the anonymous alias HI LO would make its first appearance with the release of ‘Crank It Up’ which gained a lot of attention from artists and fans alike. Only a few weeks after the release of ‘Crank It Up’, Oliver Heldens would reveal that he was the face behind the HI LO alias and would also reveal that he was launching his own record label Heldeep Records. The first release on Heldeep Records would be a HI LO track called ‘Renegade Mastah’ that was massively successful going on to receive over 28 million streams on Spotify. Though not straying too far from his usual sound, in an interview with UKF in 2015 he said, “The music I make as HI-LO is more bassline driven and ‘underground’. The typical Oliver Heldens sound is way more melodic.” He kept on releasing more big tracks as HI LO and started to incorporate them into his live shows laying the foundations for a hugely successful alias. Over the next few years, the HI LO tracks kept coming though remained very much a side project in comparison to the music being released under Oliver Heldens. But eventually there began to be a bit of a shift when 2020 came around and all of a sudden, the HI LO name started to creep into centre stage. Usually during his live shows, Oliver Heldens would only sprinkle in a couple of his HI LO tracks but on April 25th 2020 he put up a DJ set on his YouTube channel where he did a full half hour of HI LO music alongside some techno tracks from other artists. This was well received by fans and would become quite common on the various livestreams that he would do over lockdown. He was diving deeper into the world of techno and taking his sound to a darker place with songs like ‘Zeus’ and ‘Kronos’ which really set the tone for his subsequent HI LO releases and starter taking him further into the underground scene. To help take his tracks to the next level he decided to collaborate with Reinier Zonneveld who was already a well-established name in the underground techno scene. Oliver Heldens had been following his work and had become a big fan of his style and his record label Filth on Acid which led to their first collaboration ‘Saw of Olympus’ in 2021. This track was Oliver Heldens fully embracing his techno side with a heavy, echoing kick and plenty of bass that shook the dancefloors. Working with Reinier Zonneveld allowed him to learn a lot and he would continue to learn more and more about techno as he collaborated with more giants of techno like Will Clarke, T78 and Eli Brown over his coming songs. With this new catalogue of heavy HI LO techno bangers, it was finally time for the next step which was doing live sets under the HI LO alias. Once lockdown had ended in 2021, the HI LO name could finally start hitting the stage with shows at the likes of 013 Poppodium and Seismic Dance Event where he could unleash his new sound. The thundering techno of HI LO was certainly a big jump from the usual music of Oliver Heldens, but it was a huge success which lead to more and more shows under the alias at the likes of Ultra Europe and Tomorrowland. As the love for HI LO from the fans grew, more of the alias’s tracks started to appear in Oliver Heldens’ live shows with a mashup of his track ‘Flying Octopus’ and the acappella from ‘Lovely’ by Billie Eilish and Khalid being a highlight of his shows that was adored by the fans. After all those years the HI LO name has gone from a small side project to being one of the biggest names in techno. Under this alias, Oliver Heldens has now collaborated with the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Alan Fitzpatrick, Danny Avila, Space 92, and performed at some of the biggest festivals in the world. In only the past few years HI LO has launched from being solely underground to now being on the mainstage at EDC which is an incredible achievement. Oliver Heldens has managed to take this alias to heights beyond what anyone would have thought 9 years ago, and he certainly isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

That means better protection across a wider range of sound frequencies, allowing you to immerse yourself in every bass drop and vocals while avoiding ear ringing the next day. But these earplugs aren’t just about superior hearing protection. They’re a fashion statement that dismantles the stigma around wearing earplugs at concerts. Rendered in sleek black and purple colorways inspired by Tomorrowland‘s signature aesthetics, the co-designed earplugs come packaged in a keepsake box featuring the festival’s iconic logo and symbols. From unboxing to the main stage, it’s an experience steeped in music magic. According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion young people globally are at risk of hearing loss due to excessive noise exposure. In the US alone, 3 out of 5 concertgoers experience that dreaded ear ringing afterward – and most simply accept it as normal. Loop is on a mission to change that mentality by making smart hearing protection cool, comfortable and fashionable. Tomorrowland is a huge part of my experience as a live music-lover, and it’s an honor to team up with them again to spread awareness and improve festival experiences for people around the world – said Loop co-founder Dimitri O. His partner Maarten Bodewes adds, “Loop and Tomorrowland are a powerful combination because they bring the worlds of festival life and design-led wellness into the same conversation.” The limited-edition Loop x Tomorrowland Experience 2 Earplug sets will be available starting May 21st for $39.95/€34.95 online and at the Loop booth at Tomorrowland Festival happening July 19-29 in Boom, Belgium. So get ready to experience the summer’s biggest music festivals louder and better than ever – all while prioritizing your hearing health for years of concert-going to come. With Loop and Tomorrowland’s fresh co-branded design, stunning audio fidelity and certified protection, you can stay fashionably safe no matter how hard you rage.
