Portola somehow outdoes itself with second-year lineup: Skrillex, Eric Prydz HOLO, Flying Lotus, & more
Last year’s inaugural Portola Music Festival in San Francisco presented a brand new experience with one of the most top-tier lineups we’d seen in a long time. Even for a self-professed bass head like myself, the house and techno offerings were accessible enough that I enjoyed every single set I witness which included Flume, The Chemical Brothers, Jamie xx, Four Tet + Floating Points, Fred again.., Caribou, Bicep, Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow, Kaytranada, James Blake, and more. The biggest question in my mind as I headed home after the festival last year was: How are they going to top this next year? Turns out, I really had nothing to worry about. The lineup dropped yesterday and not only did they match the magic of last year’s lineup, in some ways, they also improved upon it. Whereas Flume and The Chemical Brothers headlined the festival last year, Skrillex and Eric Prydz presents HOLO take the mantle for this iteration.

Tako Tomago Releases Mesmerizing Wave Single, “Eviscerate”
Tako Tomago is an artist in his own lane, known for fusing R&B-infused vocals, evocative basslines, and rich Trap production. Tako solidified his position as both a performer and a DJ within the rapidly growing Wave scene through debut performances in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, in support of his album “Jonathan” released in 2022. The support he received from renowned entities like Insomniac, Brownies & Lemonade, and Beatport, showcases the enthusiasm surrounding Tako’s emergence as a trailblazer in the electronic/dance music world, specifically within the Wave genre. Now, he’s back with a mesmerizing single titled “Eviscerate“. The darker ambiance and ambient piano chords are reminiscent of The Weeknd, creating a captivating atmosphere. However, this tranquility is abruptly interrupted by a thundering drop, filled with pitched down vocals, swirling synths, and crisp drums. It’s an intoxicating journey that never loses its luster. “A lot of effort when I’m writing music goes into making something that will translate at the club just as well as it does listening in headphones at home. In pursuit of that balance, there are beautiful musical dualities discovered. In the case of “Eviscerate”, vulnerable and intimate vocals pave the way for a confident and powerful drop that showcases the hard-hitting Wave sound I’ve come to love. The ability to combine emotions and feels, ultimately leaving the listener feeling connected and inspired, is something that draws me back to the studio again and again.” – Tako Tomago Listen below!

Butch & Nic Fanciulli Drop Hot New Ibiza Anthem “I Want You”
It may not be summertime just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start getting into that summer frame of mind. If you need some help just put on this new tune from Butch & Nic Fanciulli, “I Want You.” Out now on Defected Records, “I Want You” is a perfect summertime anthem, dripping with that Ibiza club energy. Featuring a catchy disco loop, warm tropical percussion and an undeniable groove, “I Want You” will have you blissfully dancing while booking that flight to Spain this summer. “I have known Nic for many years, always bumping into each other at different parties and locations around the world but we had never made a track together.” Butch says. “During this period, I was traveling through Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Ibiza and Germany and I guess drawing some musical inspiration from these places, especially that Balearic sound. I had this track that I really didn’t know what to do with next, so I decided to send it to Nic to see what he would come back with. And this is how ‘I Want You’ was born… “ “’I Want You’ started with me and Butch having a chat about finally doing a collab.” Nic Fanciulli adds. “He sent me over 15 different loops and ideas and I picked this one straight away. I had the loop on repeat for about an hour and then attacked it. We sent it back and forth a couple of times and it was finished. I remember road testing it out that weekend and the crowd really going off. I think remote producing is way better than sitting in a room as you don’t have to worry about what each other thinks. When this happens and you’re not fighting it, you just know the record works.” This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Butch & Nic Fanciulli Drop Hot New Ibiza Anthem “I Want You”

Daft Punk release 10th anniversary ‘RAM’ album with “last song ever” — “Infinity Repeating”
Random Access Memories, the final album from Daft Punk released on May 17, 2013, officially celebrates its 10th anniversary this month. Leading up, the French duo have released a couple of tracks from the 10th anniversary album ahead of its official release today. With 35 minutes of unreleased music across 9 tracks, Daft Punk shares for the first time outtakes, demos, and unreleased songs from the original recording sessions of Random Access Memories. The new tracks are described in detail in the below track by track. As noted in its title, “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” was recorded ten years ago during the sessions for Random Access Memories at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles and Electric Lady Studios in New York. It was created before “Instant Crush,” another Daft Punk x Julian Casablancas RIAA Platinum-certified collaboration that became a fan favorite on the original album. Dubbed the last Daft Punk song ever, “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” has a dreamy, ethereal, jazzy quality. Says Casablancas about the track, “a little stranger and more jazz modern chord-wise than the others on the record. It just cycles up like a pattern – It’s a four half-step cycle moving up on repeat. I wanted Stevie Wonder to sing it. It somehow has island summer vibes too… it’s lovely and bizarre, like a human. And like a human, obsessed with infinity and constantly making the same mistakes and movements.” RAM 10 TRACK BY TRACK Horizon Ouverture: This first outtake opens with vocals by a childrens’ choir that leads into an instrumental track. This set of tracks is bookended by childrens’ choirs, as the last track in the set, “Touch Epilogue” also contains childrens’ voices. The bookending creates a mirror that emphasizes some of the main themes of this record : future nostalgia, repetition loop and infinity. Horizon: “Horizon” originally appeared exclusively on the Japanese CD version of Random Access Memories, as a bonus track and has been discovered by fans in the years since release. As the final track on the 2013 Japanese version of the album, “Horizon” gave listeners a gentle, symphonic, peaceful ending to the album. This is its first official global release. GLBTM (Studio Outtakes): This track is composed of outtakes from “Give Life Back To Music” recording sessions with little-to-no production, and showcases Daft Punk’s experimentation, their energy and what styles they were exploring at the time. It sounds like a jam session, but can be viewed as a research record – listeners can hear multiple inspirations, multiple directions, and multiple versions of what the song could have evolved into. Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo): The idea of infinity is at the creative core of this album, and is emphasized in this track. Recorded for the original album, “Infinity Repeating” brings back vocals from Julian Casablancas, who also collaborated on “Instant Crush.” Based on an infinity loop, the progression and lyrics to this track will make it echo infinitely. The concept of an infinity loop will also be reflected in the official music video as an epic ascension through human history and fate. GL (Early Take): This 32 second snippet of what would eventually become a Record of the Year Grammy winner is made up of studio outtakes, some cuts, studio sessions and first tests. It gives a quick glimpse into the makings of the iconic track. Prime (2012 unfinished): Daft Punk started work on Random Access Memories in 2008, but the project was put on pause when the opportunity to work on the Tron soundtrack presented itself. After the project was released in 2010, the focus turned back to RAM. This track, “Prime (Unfinished)” is emblematic of the time – the unfinished track shows another facet of the creative process and how some works can fall to the side along the way. LYTD (Vocoder Tests): On this track, listeners get a peek behind the curtain of one of Daft Punk’s signature sounds, the robot voices. Stripping the layers away, listeners hear human voices behind the vocoders, the vocoders that are used to create robot voices. They hear the robots that are looking for themselves, and the humans behind them. The Writing Of Fragments Of Time: Part musical track, part documentary, this track captures a foundational songwriting moment between Thomas Bangalter and Todd Edwards. With the track production finished by Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo, Todd joins Thomas in the studio to pen the lyrics and come up with the top line melody. The curtain is pulled and the listener witnesses the very moment they come up with the defining melody and lyrics of the song – a first-ever experience with the humans behind the impenetrable robots. The track “Fragments of Time” was foundational to Random Access Memories, in which Todd Edwards (the only artist that worked twice on Daft Punk’s album) sings optimistically about how they will all feel in 10 years. “The Writing of Fragments of Time” is a dream within a dream, exploring future nostalgia, anticipation and inception, like a Russian doll. It’s a “making of” within the “making of.” Ten years after it was created, its release closes the gap of the lyrical message of the song (how will we feel in 10 years?). It’s also a dissociation from the robots, in the prism of a band who is no more. Touch (2021 Epilogue): This version of “Touch” was used as the soundtrack to Daft Punk’s Epilogue video, the video that announced the end of the band, posted on February 22, 2021. While the original version of the track features vocals from Paul Williams, this version has only vocals from a children’s choir repeating the lyrics “You’re home, hold on, if love is the answer,” again showcasing the core album themes of infinity and repetition loop.

Sub Focus releases his first solo album in 10 years, “Evolve”
Something was in the water in 2013, as an inordinate amount of iconic drum & bass albums were released like Wilkinson’s Lazers Not Included, ShockOne’s Universus, Chase & Status’ Brand New Machine, as well as Sub Focus’ Torus. His first album since his debut in 2009, Sub Focus, Torus was an incredible addition to the pantheon of drum & bass. Now, 10 years later, he’s back with his next solo album and it’s just as wonderful. Of the album, Sub Focus says, “Having grown up in the ’90s, I was inspired to channel elements of my musical evolution over the course of this album; from dance acts that introduced me to electronic music like The Chemical Brothers through to the early hardcore and jungle music I was discovering back then. I worked with some of my heroes at the inception of those genres like Jonny L through to modern dance heavyweights like Camelphat, using some elements that evoked nostalgia but with modern day production. Drum & Bass has never felt stronger or more popular as a genre and I’m proud to have been a part of such a thriving scene for so long. I’ve dabbled with multiple genres in the past but this time I wanted to make an album that speaks to my D&B core, with breakbeats laced through every track as a backbone.” Listen below.

Sub Focus releases last single “I Found You” with Hayla before the album drops on Friday
It’s been 10 years since the last time we got a solo album from Sub Focus, 2013’s Torus. The album was and still is an absolutely incredible piece of art, but the past decade has seen tastes, styles, and technology change radically. That being said, his new album EVOLVE out this Friday will still feature the same classic Sub Focus sound we’ve come to know and love, just with a bit of a more modern touch.

When you’re sitting in the studio, or in front of any desk, for hours on end — whether you’re gaming, producing, or writing the next great American novel — comfort should be your top priority. As much as it’s recommended you be active during the day, when you’re sitting, you should be doing do comfortably and with proper support. Secretlab has a history of creating top-tier desk chairs and they’ve partnered with Deadmau5 once again for their latest custom design on the TITAN Evo. The Deadmau5 Cube chair is available now in limited quantities. Built on the well-known TITAN Evo design, the deadmau5 collaboration is the latest in a string of designs the Secretlab team has created to show off your favorite fandom. “I’m very discerning when it comes to the gear I choose to support me creatively,” shares Deadmau5. “For a guy who spends 12 hours a day sitting down, comfort and ergonomics are very important to me. The TITAN Evo keeps me focused and supported, from long hours at the studio to marathon gaming sessions. Secretlab as a brand, resonates with quality. I love their products, I love their desk, I use them for my gaming stations — I’ve had a Secretlab chair with me over the last couple of years, and it’s been a staple in my day-to-day ever since.” “Gamers today no longer consist of geeky boys camped out in their basements,” shares Ian Alexander Ang, Secretlab’s Co-Founder and CEO. “It is a healthy hobby that many professionals—from elite athletes to internationally-acclaimed musicians such as Joel—now enjoy. We want to be part of the movement to educate the public on this and that’s why we co-created the world’s first deadmau5 gaming chair with Joel back in 2019. Since then, our award-winning gaming chairs and desks have relentlessly supported him on his journey as a creator and artist—through the past four years and beyond. Whether he’s dropping beats or demolishing his opponents in-game, we are thrilled that deadmau5 continues to rely on Secretlab as his leading choice for best-in-class comfort and support.” Explore the TITAN Evo Deadmau5 Cube gaming chair here and check out the video below.
