With his latest album, Galantis transforms the intricacies of neurodivergence into an auditory remedy for the heart and mind. A spiritual successor to 2015's Pharmacy, his new album Rx stands as an exploration of his experiences with neurodivergence and the downstream impacts to his creative process. At its heart is his openness about his ADHD diagnosis and the therapeutic role of music in his life. "Pharmacy was when I knew I was neurodivergent and I knew the studio was like a pharmacy for me," Galantis, whose real name is Christian Karlsson, said. "I was the patient. Rx is when I found medication. For me, it was key, but of course, everyone walks their own path." From the euphoric "Koala" to the introspective "Side Effects," the album traverses a range of emotions. Each track is a chapter in the broader narrative of Karlsson's journey of self-discovery, acceptance and triumph. At the core of the effort is "BANG BANG! (My Neurodivergent t Anthem)," a single that embodies the familiar euphoric highs that fans have come to expect out of Galantis' production, coupled with some his most personal songwriting sentiments to date.

The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) announced today that it has filed a legal action against music streaming platform Spotify USA Inc. (Spotify). The action seeks recovery of unpaid royalties under the compulsory mechanical blanket license obtained by Spotify to reproduce and distribute musical works in the United States via its consumer music streaming platform. The action states that beginning in March 2024, Spotify asserted that its Premium Individual, Duo and Family subscription streaming plans were now Bundled Subscription Offerings because those plans included access to audiobooks. Applying the rate formula applicable to Bundled Subscription Offerings results in a reduction of the Service Provider Revenue that Spotify reports, which results in an underpayment of royalties. The MLC believes that Spotify’s position does not comply with applicable laws and regulations. The MLC has statutory authority to address Spotify’s noncompliance with its royalty payment obligations. The MLC is taking legal action to enforce these obligations and ensure that Spotify pays all royalties due from its use of songs on Premium plans. The MLC seeks corrected usage reporting and associated unpaid royalties for periods dating back to March 2024, along with an order requiring compliance going forward. A copy of the complaint can be found here. The post The Mechanical Licensing Collective brings legal action against Spotify for unpaid royalties appeared first on Decoded Magazine.

11 years have passed since the release of ‘Never Say Goodbye’, and it certainly hasn’t said goodbye to being a massively popular song that can still rock a festival. This collaboration between Hardwell and Dyro would get its premiere at Ultra Music Festival 2013 during Hardwell’s set to an incredible reaction from the crowd and has gone on to accumulate almost 20 million streams on Spotify following its release on the album ‘Hardwell Presents Revealed Volume 4.’ By this point in time Hardwell was already a well-established name in electronic music, and Dyro was starting to make a name for himself having been signed to Hardwell’s record label Revealed Recordings. Dyro would go on to release a remix of Hardwell and Dannic’s ‘Kontiki’ which appeared on ‘The Sound of Revealed 2012.’ The following year the two would combine to create the masterpiece, we all know and love today that would blast around festivals for years to come. The track also received a beautiful vocal performance from the incredibly talented Bright Lights who had previously recorded vocals for ‘Call Me A Spaceman’ but didn’t make the final cut. A year on she got her chance to shine on ‘Never Say Goodbye’ delivering a beautifully powerful vocal performance. During the premiere of ‘Never Say Goodbye’, Hardwell called Dyro the “world’s biggest upcoming DJ” and he has since gone on to create his own record label WOLV Records and release more massive tracks including his collaboration with Martin Garrix, ‘Latency.’ Also, recently Hardwell and Bright Lights have collaborated again on the hard hitting 2023 track ‘Shotgun (It Ain’t Over)’ adding to the list of massive hits Bright Lights has contributed her vocals to. Since its release ‘Never Say Goodbye’ has become an unforgettable track that stands out in an era full of incredible electronic music. The tracks high energy has never faded with its melody still being undeniably irresistible to throw your hands in the air to and forget the world around you.

Renowned French DJ and producer DJ Snake found himself at the center of controversy following his recent performance at the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas. The “Turn Down for What” hitmaker, known for his electrifying stage presence and chart-topping hits, took aim at one of the most prestigious electronic dance music festivals in the world, Tomorrowland. Surprisingly, DJ Snake directly attacked Tomorrowland, one of the most famous festivals in the business, by saying, “Fuck Tomorrowland.” It’s fine to say you like one event over another, but DJ Snake’s rude words and lack of interest in Tomorrowland, a festival known for its high-quality production and global appeal, has no sense. What the producer said didn’t end there. Once DJ Snake was done with his EDC set, he went on social media to say again, “EDC VEGAS > TOMORROWLAND.” EDC VEGAS > TOMORROWLAND — DJ SNAKE (@djsnake) May 19, 2024 People in the music business work together, be creative and value each other. DJ Snake’s behavior is not professional enough for an artist of his caliber. Artists, especially those who have fans all over the world, need to know how much their words and deeds matter. Even though everyone has their own tastes, voicing them in a rude and insulting way makes the person and the business as a whole look bad. What made DJ Snake’s comments even more perplexing was the fact that they appeared to be entirely unprovoked. There was no apparent catalyst or reason for the French DJ to lash out at Tomorrowland, a festival he has performed at multiple times in the past. So why did DJ Snake push against Tomorrowland so hard? Some speculated that perhaps DJ Snake’s comments were fueled by a personal grievance or behind-the-scenes disagreement with the Tomorrowland organizers (he’s not on the lineup). However, in the absence of any concrete evidence, these theories remained mere speculation. It seemed like the only reason he said those mean things was to hurt the image of Tomorrowland, a festival that has long been praised for giving music fans around the world unforgettable experiences. DJ Snake’s unprovoked attack on such a prestigious event showed not only a lack of professionalism but also a lack of respect for the hard work and dedication of Tomorrowland organizers, performers, and the many other people who help make the festival a success every year.

When Dutch super-producer Wiwek comes back to Yellow Claw’s Barong Family with vol. 5 of his famous “Jungle Terror” EP series, new songs are added to celebrate the idea’s 10th anniversary. The EP: Jungle Terror vol. 4 “Jungle Terror vol. 4” EP from Wiwek hasn’t been released in 4 years. “Cola” with Emy Perez starts the party with heavy bass, strong kick drums, and vocals that sound like they were recorded in an urban setting. This is a theme that runs through all three songs. In “Scream” with Holly, the production is influenced by reggaeton, and there is an epic drop. “Crash The Party” features crazy betas that are great for dancing. This EP shows how Wiwek’s art has changed over time. It has themes of freedom, ethnic research, and cultural identity. Here is what he had to say about the most recent part of “Jungle Terror.” In Wiwek’s words Most of the songs on the ‘Jungle Terror vol. 5’ EP have been played a lot in my sets. At first, I just wanted new music for my DJ sets. I thought it would be cool to make a new “Jungle Terror” EP 10 years after the first one came out because the first one came out in 2014. I’m grateful for these pieces, and it was fun to use them in new ways after all these years. – Wiwek Wiwek is not only a DJ, he’s also a pioneer in his field. He’s a real rebel with a cause. Wiwek made his own sound with “jungle terror,” a crazy mix of electronic chaos, tribal percussion, and animalistic energy. His music has been used in international movies, he has worked with Skrillex on genre-bending hits like “Killa,” and he has created Maha Vana Records, a label that lets artists go wild. Wiwek’s first record, “Cycles,” just came out, and now he’s ready to start a new sound adventure that will push the limits and get people dancing. He also made the “The Free and Rebellious” EP, which was used as the soundtrack for a movie shot in Bangkok. This adds to his unique style of combining music and stories. With new songs coming out all the time and exciting projects in the works, 2024 is looking like it will be another big year for Wiwek.

The name Colorize has come to mean sounds that are on the cutting edge of progressive house and blur the lines between dreamy and mysterious harmonies. Oliver Wickham, a Canadian producer and singer, is a relative newcomer to the scene, but his latest release on the respected label shows a musical growth and artistic vision that belies his youth. Wickham’s first EP as a solo artist is a captivating three-track journey. It shows how deep and dynamic he is as an artist. From the first few notes, it’s clear that we’re going to have a musical experience that goes beyond typical song structures and styles. The EP: Let’s Go Back / Machines / Heart “Let’s Go Back,” the first song on the EP, takes the listener right away to a lush, cinematic environment painted in widescreen sounds. Thunderous basslines rumble with an almost tectonic force. All these sounds give Wickham’s carefully layered grooves a solid base on which to pivot and undulate. A beautiful synth tune rises and falls like a vapor trail, calming and hypnotic at the same time. Scattering percussion hits give the smoothness an exhilarating sense of movement. It’s a tempting way to start, hinting at big areas that haven’t been explored yet. Oliver Wickham If you’re feeling a little too comfortable, the second song on the EP, “Machines,” will break you out of it. From the first sounds on, there is a feeling of dread and digital menace. It’s like hearing the future of cyberpunk in music. Wickham’s vocals repeat the scary theme “the machines are coming,” and industrial clangs and whirrs come together to make an uprising metallic beat over which cold machine zombies of melody stagger. When you think that all humanity has been taken away, soft piano refrains cut through the sound like beams of light, their melancholy refrains going straight to your soul. The way the emotions are juxtaposed and the different types of music blend so well that the viewer is both haunted and riveted. While “Heart And Mind” is a beautiful song, it’s the last one that really shows how talented Wickham is. It’s an amazing singing performance built on top of a very funky progressive house groove. It’s an example of hooks, melodies, and atmospheres. They are all meant to make you feel good. Wickham’s vocals soar and glide through a maze of catchy harmonic motifs and carefully processed loops, holding the rhythm in place and breaking it up with virtuosic energy. In the fantastic last few seconds of the song, angelic choirs rise above a flood of arpeggiated joy and rubber-band basslines. It’s rapturous music played with superb poise and control. Oliver Wickham‘s first EP on Colorize is a thrillingly broad statement that moves smoothly across stylistic lines in a scene that is often divided into narrow sub-genres and microniches. With sound design that is as precise as a surgeon and music and ambiance that are almost like paintings, he’s made a debut that is greater than the sum of its parts. This beautiful three-track odyssey from a big new talent is required listening for anyone looking for truly progressive and emotional electronica.

We all know about Medellín. Once a nexus of narco-terror and urban warfare, the city comes with skeletons—both literal and figurative—in its closet. So when the world's leading EDM festival brand, Tomorrowland, announced its expansion into the city, it only served to deepen the mystery. After the demise of Pablo Escobar in 1993 and the eventual dismantling of the Medellín Cartel, the city was left to grapple with the aftermath of decades of violence and lawlessness. It has a bright future three decades later, but the legacy of the narco era continues to cast a long shadow and the region still faces challenges related to crime, poverty and inequality. The city and its grim history are inextricably connected, and no festival or event can rupture the link. So it would be ignorant to call last weekend's CORE festival a metaphor for Medellin's metamorphosis. But that doesn't mean the city can't try to rewrite its own narrative. True to CORE's nature-inspired ethos, the festival was like a butterfly emerging from Medellín's blood-stained chrysalis. "In all the years I've traveled to Medellín to visit family, I've never experienced anything like [CORE]," said attendee David Contosta. "It's amazing to see how the city has changed over the years and the impact tourism has had on the city itself." After Tomorrowland sold out the two-day festival "in record time," each beat pulsed with the defiance of a city that refused to be defined by its scars. The collective energy at Parque Norte was electric, a shared heartbeat of a city moving forward—not trapped in the past. "I know this city has had a dark past, but attending the festival, it gave the opportunity for local talent to perform and for the locals of the city to forget about the violence and struggles of the day-to-day and to embrace the experience," Contosta continued. "I hope this event is the first of many and that when people think of Medellín, they'll think of the amazing people, rich culture and talented music scene, and not its dark past." An attendee of CORE Medellín enjoying the music.Tomorrowland It's tough to describe Tomorrowland's CORE Stage and its design—a split human head with visuals where the face should be—to someone who hasn't seen it in-person. It turned into a bio-luminescent giant, combining the humanoid eeriness of Ex Machina with the surrealist nature vibes of Where the Wild Things Are. In front of the stupefying stage, lasers in the night sky pierced ghosts of sicarios. Behind it, the lights of homes in the hills of Manrique, Versalles II and many other Medellín neighborhoods turned the area into a radiant mosaic. Engineered and recently debuted by Tomorrowland's industry-leading creative team, the CORE Stage is nothing short of an architectural marvel. The groundbreaking stage inflates and deflates to compactly fit into a single container, making it portable and adaptable to locations around the world. It's a feat of technological utopianism that could deeply influence the global music festival landscape, especially as as inflationary pressures hike the rising costs of touring to unsustainable levels. Tomorrowland The phantasmal CORE Stage saw larger-than-life performances from a slew of leading techno and house music artists, including Agents Of Time, Mind Against, ANNA, Kölsch and Brina Knauss. Speaking with EDM.com, Knauss, an emerging electronic music superstar out of Slovenia, called the festival "a dream." But it was BICEP who delivered arguably the weekend's best performance. The duo invited us into their entirely one-of-a-kind world, where the sublime textures of ambient music meet the primal energy of breakbeat. It was the kind of set where you close your eyes and lose yourself in the vastness, only to be yanked back by the insistent pulse of BICEP's percussive barrages. Two new stages also debuted at CORE Medellín. First was AltVerda, which was situated in the woods amidst a series of whimsical light columns. It's here where Chet Faker threw down an exuberant disco-house set, his kaleidoscopic beats taking root underneath our dancing feet. Deeper in the forest, over at the Arbo stage, glowing white fabrics draped from trees and morphed in real-time as both wind and lasers sliced through. The intimate atmosphere played host to a number of local DJs, like Sinego and WOST, both of whom couldn't stop smiling as they performed for Tomorrowland, the world's quintessential dance music brand. The Arbo Stage at Tomorrowland's CORE Medellín festival on May 12th, 2024.Tomorrowland While Tomorrowland reigns supreme as the consummate festival experience, CORE stands as a majestic parallel universe. From a cultural standpoint, it's tough to ignore the differences between its inherent rave culture and that of America. All of the DJs at CORE Medellín rarely—if ever—spoke on the microphone. We were never told to put our hands up and there wasn't a single countdown before a drop, nor a demand to jump. We also didn't hear any squawking chants of "woo-woo." Music was the language, and it severed the intense Spanish language barrier. Judgements felt nonexistent and it was impossible not to make new friends. The authenticity didn't just bleed—it hemorrhaged. Tomorrowland may be the sun that illuminates the festival universe, but CORE is the brilliant moon, shifting the tides of festival culture with its own wellspring of experiences. For those unable to make the pilgrimage to Belgium, CORE is a must. CORE's next stop is São Paulo, where its stage will appear at Tomorrowland Brasil for the first time in October. In the meantime, you can keep a pulse on the brand as well as its events, record label and radio show here.

Central to the stage is a massive, colorful stained-glass-like window, a design element that enhances the visual appeal and aligns with the theme of a fantastical, dreamlike environment. Owl motifs and intricate patterns contribute to the whimsical and enchanting vibe typical of EDC stages.
