Mark Knight and Mark Dedross new Fool’s Paradise song “Fighting Love” is the first important house anthem of 2025. It’s a masterful reimagining of Thelma Jones’ “How Long” that doesn’t just sample the past but gives it fresh new life. When these two musicians work together, it’s like a perfect storm of musical intuition. Knight, who designed Toolroom Records to be the biggest record label in the world, brings his usual accuracy and club-ready style. Dedross, who used to be half of the band Markosa, adds his skill for writing moving melodic stories that stay with you long after the speakers stop playing. “Fighting Love” shakes with a rare honesty. The music builds up like a journey, starting with soft, hypnotic percussion that becomes the base for Jones’s famous vocals. These aren’t just samples; they’ve been carefully put back together again, letting the emotional core of the original flow through modern production methods. As a result, the song sounds both familiar and completely present. The time of this release is what makes it so important. As Miami Music Week 2025 gets closer, Toolroom’s annual mix will be released along with their huge 11-hour pool party on March 30th at The Surfcomber Hotel. “Fighting Love” is the perfect emotional contrast to the upbeat club songs that usually rule the season. In spite of the heavy beats and festival euphoria, this song reminds us that house music’s lasting power comes from its ability to express deep human feelings. Fool’s Paradise continues to make a name for itself in the crowded world of house music by putting out albums that focus on musical depth and emotional impact. In “Fighting Love,” they’ve made a song that speaks to both the body and the soul and works just as well in a small club as it does in a private listening session. As we learn more about music in 2025, this partnership between Knight and Dedross makes a strong case for how house music can continue to change while still honoring its deep emotional history. “Fighting Love” isn’t just another release; it’s proof of how dance music can change people when it’s made with real artistic purpose.

Decoded Magazine · Decoded Magazine Presents Paul Loraine Paul Loraine is a man with a mission to convert you to his cult. The figure behind Rhythm Cult has seen his passion project become one of the most highly regarded underground house and techno labels of the last decade. Curating selections from some of the most forward-thinking electronic artists in the industry, the imprint has initiated the likes of Ian Pooley, Funk D’Void, Cinthie, Satoshi Fumi, youANDme and DCLVIII OFC into the Cults ever-expanding roster in recent years. With a growing tribe of followers and DJ heavyweights such as Laurent Garnier, Dixon and John Digweed throwing support behind releases, Rhythm Cult has become a firm favourite amongst discerning selectors, blending astute dance floor dynamics and a cutting-edge sonic signature. As a DJ, Loraine cut his teeth at the tender age of nineteen becoming the resident at the infamous Monkey Club in Guernsey. Here he regularly turned out five-hour sets that required him to dig deep into his vast collection. Supporting everyone from Brandon Block to Goldie he earned a reputation for marathon sets, honed his skills as a precise selector and developed a taste for the innovative deep electronic sounds that would inspire the label’s formation. Loraine would prove to be no slouch in the studio either, and his releases were championed by the likes of Laurent Garner, Maceo Plex, and Sasha. With Rhythm Cult celebrating its tenth-anniversary last year, he delivered an exclusive DJ mix for Decoded, so we caught up with Paul to talk inspiration, the label’s longevity, and his plans for its future. RC seems to be a label that has established support from a wide range of underground DJs. Can you tell us about the ethos of the label and why you think it appeals to such a diverse range of selectors? At Rhythm Cult, my ethos has always been about curating music with true longevity – a quality that stands the test of time. I’ve consciously chosen to step away from fleeting trends and fads, instead focusing on artists who bring something unique and enduring to the table. I’m not interested in what’s popular for the moment, but in music that resonates deeply and remains relevant for years. That’s the sound I personally gravitate towards, and it’s the kind of sound I want the label to reflect. This approach has really paid off, especially with our Details series, which has proven that timeless quality. The artists in that series and their music have shown that they can withstand the test of time, and that’s the goal with every release we put out. By sticking to this ethos of quality over trends, I think we’ve managed to appeal to such a diverse group of underground DJs. They recognise that we’re committed to something more substantial, and that kind of integrity resonates with people who value longevity in music. We’ve heard that you started out as a resident at the infamous Monkey Club in Guernsey. Can you tell us a little about those heady days, your background and how they inspired the formation of Rhythm Cult? You’re right, I was the weekly resident DJ at the infamous Monkey Club in Guernsey for almost seven years, and it’ll always hold a special place for me. It was the best venue – 500 capacity, located in a basement with no windows, a ridiculously loud sound system, and unforgettable nights with great friends. The energy from the Guernsey crowd was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced; they really knew how to bring it. It was pure energy, and it’s the definition of what it means to truly “have it.” As a resident DJ, I had the opportunity to warm up week in, and week out, for some incredible names like Danny Howells, Jody Wisternoff, Gaz White, Brandon Block, Lisha Lasha, Lottie, DJ Sonique, Alex P, Steve Lawler, I even warmed up for Goldie once. So, you can imagine how diverse my record collection became over the years—it was vast, spanning across many genres and sounds. Those days in the Monkey Club were a huge influence on the formation of Rhythm Cult. They taught me so much about reading the crowd, about the importance of building energy, and how to create an atmosphere. The experience helped shape the direction of the label, as I wanted Rhythm Cult to have that same raw, underground spirit, but also with an emphasis on quality and timelessness. That ethos was born out of the energy and diversity I encountered in those early years. Last year marked the label’s 10th anniversary. What’s the key to RC’s success and how hard has it been to navigate the shifting sands of the electronic music scene over recent years? Music is my life, so for me, running Rhythm Cult is a labour of love – and it always will be. For me, it’s something I’m addicted to, and I won’t stop. I’ve always been committed to the long haul, and that’s been a big part of Rhythm Cult’s success. It’s not about chasing quick wins or jumping on trends; it’s about staying true to what I believe in, even when the landscape shifts. The key to the label’s success has been consistency, quality, and a true passion for the craft. Navigating the ever-changing electronic music scene over the years hasn’t always been easy. The landscape can shift quickly and staying relevant while keeping that sense of authenticity requires dedication. But I’ve always been focused on long-term goals, and that’s helped me steer Rhythm Cult through the changes. My aim has always been to take the label from minor to major – eventually – and we’re still pushing towards that. We’ve built something with staying power, and we’ll keep going, no matter how the scene evolves. You have launched the RC Select series recently. Can you tell us a little bit about exactly what this is and the philosophy behind the series? Yes, Rhythm Cult is a multi-genre label, but with Select Series, I wanted to create something focused solely on the dancefloor. It’s all about tracks that keep the energy high and the crowd moving. My goal is for every release to end up on DJs’ “Must Haves” playlists. We kicked things off with Alive by François Dubois and Liam Garcia, which hit the top spot on Beatport’s best-selling charts. It’s the kind of energy we’re after – tracks that instantly connect with the crowd and keep the vibe strong all night. Last year saw you heading out to Ibiza to DJ at Pikes with Funk D’Void. How was the experience and what are your thoughts about the state of play on the island? Yes, it was great to see you in Ibiza and spend some quality time together – thanks for coming! I’ve been lucky to DJ on the island for over 15 years now, all thanks to Ryan O’Gorman. He’s the one who got me started, first playing in the Red Box at Space, then the next year on The Terrace, and I’ve been back every year since. Last year marked my 6th year DJing at Pikes (apart from the Covid break), and I have to say, it’s still one of the best places to play or party on the island. There’s something magical about the atmosphere. I love playing in Freddies, and also by the poolside for my more eclectic sets on Sundays. Last year, I had the chance to play in the new room, Plaza Mayor, for the first time, and the vibe was unreal. As for the state of play on the island, it has still got that unique energy, but things are definitely evolving. There’s more competition now, but venues like Pikes continue to stand out because they offer something different- intimate and with a real sense of community and a deep history. That’s what keeps me coming back. I’m also excited to hear that UNVRS is opening up this season, and I’ve seen that Carl Cox will be hosting a residency there. I’m so happy about this news – it’s great to see the island still dedicated to showcasing the world’s best DJs and underground artists. It’s exactly the kind of space Ibiza needs to keep that true underground spirit alive. The label’s release schedule seems to have accelerated over the last twelve months with some incredible artists joining the Cult. Can you reveal what is in store for 2025 and what you are most excited about for the forthcoming year? We’ve kicked off 2025 in style! We’ve already dropped two incredible releases – DCLVIII OFC’s “No Soul,” which will be a Beatport exclusive on February 20th, and Fiorella’s “Velvet Rebel,” which is available now as a Traxsource exclusive and will be out worldwide on February 6th. Both tracks have been massive hits, with amazing support from DJs like Radio Slave, Laurent Garnier, Danny Tenaglia, Jamie Jones, Chris Lake, Damian Lazarus, Bushwacka, Sasha, Âme, and many more. Looking ahead, we’ve got some exciting releases lined up. We’ll be dropping a follow-up EP from Orlando Voorn, a new single from Yotam Avni with a fantastic remix from youANDme, and a deep, chuggy release from Hardway Brothers. Sascha Dive is revisiting his classic “Brother’s Vibe”, originally released on our vinyl-only series, with a fresh tribal version and remixes from Francesco Mami and YokoO. And here’s the big one for me – my first single on Rhythm Cult! I can’t believe it, but it’s true. Minor Major is a track I wrote 12 years ago, and I’m giving it new life with some incredible remixes from Funk D’Void, Acitone, DCLVIII OFC, and Mark Jackus. It’s shaping up to be a truly exciting year, and I can’t wait to share all the new music and incredible talent we’ve got lined up! Which artists/producers are you most excited in 2025 and why? There are some incredible artists and producers that are really exciting me in 2025. LOLOMAN, Saporta, Tod Louie, Polygonia, E-Bony, Anthony Rother, and Lee Scott are all pushing boundaries with their unique signature sounds and great energy. Each of them has a distinctive style that really stands out, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more from them in the coming months and years. They’re all artists that I’m really excited to see evolve, and I’m looking forward to what they have in store for the future. Can you give us your top three RC picks for those unfamiliar with the label so that they can check them out? What is special about each of these tracks for you? No, I can’t, I’m sorry he he, it’s like trying to pick a favourite pet! Every release on Rhythm Cult is unique and special in its own way. What makes each one stand out is the quality and authenticity behind it, and that’s what I’m most proud of. All I can say is, if you genuinely love house and techno, do yourself a favour and check out Rhythm Cult. I’m 100% certain that you’ll find music you’ll fall in love with. Recently you have had some incredible DJs featured on your Cultcast mix series. Can you tell us a little more about the series and what you have in store on there? The Cultcast mix series is a fantastic platform where we showcase some of the most talented DJs in the scene today. It originally began as a collaboration with Vanity Dust, an independent music journalist based in Barcelona and a very close friend. In the beginning, the series was actually called Cultdust—a nod to our partnership—where we featured exclusive mixes alongside in-depth interviews with the artists, giving listeners a deeper insight into their creative worlds. Over time, we’ve been fortunate to feature incredible talents like Dinky, André Lodemann, Bushwacka, Rui Da Silva, and Reboot. Eventually, we merged this with our Rhythm Cult artist mix series, which evolved into what is now the Cultcast. For our upcoming 40th episode, we’re thrilled to have Timo Maas on the Soundsystem, along with confirmed sets from Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves, and Radio Slave. There’s so much exciting music in store, and we can’t wait to share it with our audience!

Hailing from Sheffield in the UK, TITAN has gained international recognition in the drum & bass scene, having used social media as his weapon for success. With millions of views and streams across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and SoundCloud, the rise of this DJ is hard to go unnoticed. Formerly an eager powerlifting champion, TITAN found his love for DJing while on rest due to a severe sporting injury. Although a major setback in his lifting career, this seemingly proved to be a game-changer in the start of his music profession, utilising his time off to master the art of mixing. From learning to mix on his phone using the app ‘djay’ to playing some of the largest shows in drum & bass history, notably Let It Roll On Tour and Bassfest. Other notable career highlights include supporting headline shows for Kanine and Turno, while continuing to play for some of the UK’s leading promoters—DnB Allstars and RUN—both nationally and internationally. TITAN released his first mix in July 2022, which came only two weeks after picking up his first pair of Pioneer DJ FLX6s. Since then, he has released eight SoundCloud mixes and recorded DJ sets for the likes of Kool FM and Elevate Records. Over the past two and a half years, he has evolved his signature sound, finding the balance between “dark, heavy, and beautiful” drum & bass. This is most apparent in his ‘Full Circle’ trilogy, a mix series showcasing his full-cycle progression in mixing technicalities, track selection, and flow. More recently, he is known to make song edits in order to “take elements of the tune and rearrange them to do more techy build ups and drops”, for example ‘Off The Ground’ by Sub Focus. As such, he is able to weave sections of tunes not otherwise possible to create euphoric storyline-like sets for both listeners and ravers alike. Heavily influenced by artists such as Camo & Krooked, Mefjus, and A.M.C, TITAN’s sets draw on neuro, jump up, and future drum & bass. Throughout his progression in the scene, he has also supported upcoming producers: Lukher, RageMode, and Suune to name a few. His meticulous track selection enables him to find and showcase unheard of producers that may not yet be fully appreciated for their talent, allowing his listeners to uncover hidden gems. There are no boundaries when it comes to a TITAN set. Be it mixing subgenres effortlessly, utilising the breadth of his dubplate collection, and harnessing emotion, he continues to redefine the limits of DJ performance. As the titan of this ever-growing community, he certainly lives up to his name. So, TITAN, how has it been playing shows recently? Fantastic, really really good. I was a bit nervous going into it because I wasn’t sure how the whole playing pretty much every week, multiple sets and how the balance would go, but I’ve loved every minute of it. Even the driving, I don’t mind driving. I’ve spent some weekends doing upwards of 15 hours of driving but I’m driving to somewhere I get to play my favourite tunes and music to a group of people that love the same music as me. To be able to do that and get paid to do it? Sign me up! Sounds like you’ve been enjoying the process. Has there been a particular moment in your journey that’s been a highlight for you? There’s a few that come to mind. The first one most recently was the Let It Roll x Run set at Prospect Centre, Bristol. It was awesome. I don’t think it was the biggest crowd I’ve ever played to but the music that I played was purely the stuff that I like playing. I played a little bit of jump up earlier on and it didn’t really get the reaction that it normally does. I was kind of happy about that in a weird way because, whilst I like jump up, neuro has my heart. I don’t know what it is but I think it’s the cinematic and emotional aspect of it. When I go to a rave as a raver, I want to feel something. I want to feel the best way, and nothing does that quite like neuro for me. To be able to do that and it be received in the same way that I enjoy it is just wonderful. I’m actually so glad nobody was recording me at the time because I was trying my best to keep it together. You wouldn’t get this at a house or techno rave would you? Drum & bass seems like a huge part of your life now, but are there any other music genres you listen to? I would honestly say that I’m quite versatile with the music that I listen to and the music that I’m able to appreciate. I can listen to classical, I can listen to just about any genre of music and enjoy or appreciate it at the very least. The only exception to that is country! Now, believe me when I say that I have persevered with a lot of different genres like heavy screamo and metal. I’ve gradually warmed to them and there are certain artists that I will listen to including Architect and Linking Park. But country, I just can’t do it. I have tried and it’s just not for me. But in terms of other artists, I will listen to just about anything and everything, from Coldplay to David Gray. If there’s somebody in any given genre I will listen to them, or at least try to appreciate the music that they put out. It’s good to be versatile! Now, about your future sets, have you got a dream back to back partner? I think the obvious choice to me is Camo & Crooked and Mefjus. That’s mainly because I want to understand how they go about planning their sets and just get inside of their minds. I find set prepping and planning really interesting. They’ve obviously got their craft down to a T so I think those three would be my choice if I had the option. You’ve played multiple shows last year and already have a stacked Q1 for 2025. How do you go about relaxing in between events? Honestly, I find the actual playing the most relaxing part. It’s the prep before midweek leading up to a set I find more stressful for me than playing itself. When I’m playing a set, that’s when I’m in my element. That’s the good part! Whereas when I’m prepping that’s the difficult part. I overanalyse things and I’m hypercritical of everything that I’m doing. Whereas on the day and during the set I’m loving life. Tell us a bit about the process of putting together ‘Full Circle Part 3’. How long did it take you to curate? Honestly, it depends what you mean by curate because I started putting the mix together and curating blends literally a week after I posted ‘Full Circle Pt 2’ in December 2023. But in terms of actually putting it altogether, I was running that set, trialling, and adjusting it for about two months prior to me actually posting it. I realised that there were loads of different blends in the original set that I liked but some of them were getting good reactions from some crowds, and the crowd that I wanted to tailor the set to most was the Let It Roll crowd. That set was the closest version to the final iteration because the blends that I played there were a little bit different to the blends that I normally play but they were more in line with my taste and preferences. And they were really well received, which is how a lot of them ended up in the final iteration. What part of this mix has gained the most attention since its release? I think there’s one part in particular that’s gained the most traction and attention from people, and I’m so glad it has because it is—by far—my favourite part of the mix. It’s around 37:00 with RageMode’s ‘Ashes (I Fall)’, his new tune coming out, and I think that is one my favourite tunes. It’s just everything I want my sets to encapsulate: feels-y, dark, heavy, beautiful, everything. Literally finding the balance between dark, heavy, and beautiful. That song, down to a T, is perfect. So yeah, I’m glad that part was received and picked out amongst all the other blends and that it stood out to everyone. Now that the ‘Full Circle’ trilogy has come to a close, are there any new mixes on the horizon? Yes, so the plan regarding mixes is I want to drop a more vibe-y, dancefloor-esque mix just before summer this year. I’m going to try to make that one more about vibes because I feel like ‘Full Circle Part 3’, whilst it was a technical demonstration and it’s my sound in a nutshell, I don’t feel like that sort of mixing style is easy to listen to outside of a rave setting. Whilst it might get really good reactions in a rave, outside of a rave it’s a lot and it’s very intense. Whereas, the mixes I tend to listen to, and the mixes that I feel will be better received, are the ones that are slightly slower paced but easier to listen to. That’s the plan for the next mix. And then, potentially, there will be another special one towards the back-end of this year, just in time for Australia and New Zealand summertime. That’s an exciting road ahead! Now looking at your journey as a DJ, is there anyone in your personal life you couldn’t be doing this career without? Ah, too many people to mention! But as I’m sure the majority of people that follow me already know — my older brother, Max. None of this would be possible without him. I do genuinely mean that 100%. I wouldn’t be doing any of this without him. He was the one that pushed me into getting decks because I didn’t see this as a career. I didn’t even think this would be doable as a hobby. So yeah, I am forever grateful and I can’t thank him enough. Is there anything in particular you’re looking forward to in your 2025 calendar? Yes, absolutely! I’ve got more than a few things that I’m looking forward to this year. The big one that’s been announced is Tomorrowland. And I’ve got a couple others coming up that I’m unbelievably excited for. So yeah, this year is going to be unbelievable. I can’t wait.

Hidden among the sterile, surreal environment of Severance's latest episode lies a rare turntable with a history as intriguing as the show itself. A vintage PCS 5 turntable makes a cameo in the seventh episode of Severance's second season, titled "Chikhai Bardo." Encased in a sleek wall unit, it encapsulates the timeless brilliance of Dieter Rams, the German industrial designer whose work shaped some of the 20th century's most celebrated consumer electronics and heavily influenced companies like Apple. Known for his minimalist ethos, Rams in the early-1960s developed the Vitsoe 606 shelving system, which anchors the turntable, for Braun. Its journey to the dystopian halls of Lumon Industries involved BASA, a vintage furniture and hi-fi company that not only sourced the system, but also ensured its functional authenticity for Severance. The show's producers purchased it from BASA back in 2023 and its installation and testing took over two years, the organization said. The full setup includes Braun's TG60 tape recorder as well as L450 speakers and a TS45 amplifier. However, its pièce de résistance is Rams' PCS 5 turntable, a relic of a bygone era that was far ahead of its time. This iconic piece of audio equipment, originally developed by Rams in 1962, embodies his philosophy of "less, but better." Crafted with a blend of enameled steel, chrome-plated steel, lacquered wood and aluminum, the turntable and its elegant, utilitarian design reflect Rams' commitment to making products that marry beauty with function—principles that still resonate in design today. Back then, the PCS 5 retailed for 658 Deutsche Marks, equivalent to between $1,500 and $2,000 in today's money when adjusted for inflation. It now exists as a prized object for audiophiles and fans of mid-century modern design. Meanwhile in 2025, the second season of Severance is breaking records after toppling Ted Lasso as the platform's most-watched series globally. The brilliant Apple TV+ sci-fi show has amassed over 600 million minutes of viewership in the U.S. over all existing episodes, ballooning subscriptions by 126%, according to data released by the streaming service.

Rave may be the middle word in travel, but when raving reporter Kirk Field created the world’s first holiday company catering exclusively to clubbers, the Rave New World threw everything it could at him: 9/11, volcanic ash clouds, suspicious customs officers, avalanches, North Sea storms, pandemics, fraudulent accountants, and the ghost of Michael Jackson. From high jinks on the high seas and insanity in Ibiza to playing in the powder of the Austrian Alps and psychic silliness on the Costa del Sol, this is the story of what happened when Kirk pioneered a new kind of tourism—for guests who weren’t interested in spending the night in a five-star luxury bed (or any bed, for that matter!). An uncensored, white-knuckle ride through the side of holidays the brochures don’t show you. Rave New World 2 is due for release on 20 June, but pre-order by 28 March to get your name in the book and receive it in May. The book is available as a paperback and an Extended Mix Limited Edition exclusive to our shop with added extras: Limited to 1000 copies. Signed by Kirk. Glossy hardback cover. Unpublished photos and flyers. Five chapters unavailable anywhere else: three redacted from Rave New World #1 (including The Lost Lemmy chapter) + two new chapters. Plus, the rave flyer that took 32 years to finish with unseen Pez artwork. Discount code for Rave New World merchandise worth up to £10.

Anjunachill, the chillout-focused imprint of the Anjuna family, has launched its first official compilation, Anjunachill 01 (Mixed by Above & Beyond). This milestone release showcases the very best of Anjuna’s softer, meditative sound. It blends timeless chillout classics with fresh, unreleased gems from emerging and established artists. Listen Here. A Journey Through Anjuna’s Chillout Legacy The Anjuna labels have long embraced downtempo music. The journey began in 2014 when Above & Beyond played a spontaneous sunset set at Burning Man’s Robot Heart stage. This moment of inspiration led to Flow State in 2019, a dedicated ambient and meditation album that became a defining moment for Anjuna’s chillout expansion. Since then, the chillout branch has flourished. Reflections launched in 2022 as a standalone label dedicated to ambient and downtempo music. Now, Anjunachill 01 arrives as the next evolution. It celebrates this legacy while introducing a new wave of talent. What to Expect in ‘Anjunachill 01’ Curated and mixed by Above & Beyond, Anjunachill 01 opens with their latest ambient track, “Shall We Begin,”. It was released in January 2025 to mark the relaunch of the label. The compilation features beloved Anjuna chillout staples from artists such as Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, Dusky, Leaving Laurel, and Croquet Club. It also includes standout names from Anjunachill’s recent catalog like Cephas Azariah and Mark Barrott. Fans will also discover exclusive new music from Planet of Souls, PROFF, Redkat, and Ad Harmonium. This ensures that Anjunachill 01 is both a nostalgic journey and a glimpse into the future of Anjuna’s downtempo scene. For those who appreciate the physical format, the release includes a limited-run six-track vinyl sampler. It features select highlights from the compilation. Tracklist Highlights Among the standout moments in the 24-track mix: Above & Beyond – “Shall We Begin” sets the tone with an ethereal introduction. Cephas Azariah – “Joy Paradox” continues the label’s ambient exploration. Mark Barrott – “The Light Is Still There” (Peter Sandberg Remix) offers a cinematic, neoclassical touch. PROFF – “Love On A Real Train” (Tangerine Dream Cover) (Downtempo Mix) reimagines a classic in a soothing format. Ad Harmonium – “Tintswalo” introduces a fresh name in the chillout landscape. For over two decades, the Anjunabeats Volume and Anjunadeep compilations have been defining moments for their respective labels. Now, Anjunachill 01 establishes itself as the next essential mix series. It is perfect for fans of the deeper, more introspective side of Anjuna. Anjunachill 01 (Mixed by Above & Beyond) is available now on all major streaming platforms. The post Above & Beyond Unveil ‘Anjunachill 01’: A New Era of Downtempo Bliss appeared first on EDMTunes.

As streaming platforms wage war for market share, one metric is emerging as a demonstrative measure of success: reporting integrity. Legitary, a data analytics firm that provides AI-powered auditing, recently released its latest ranking of streaming services with regard to the reliability of their play count data. Their investigation, which examined billions of streams across major music platforms in 2023, calculates a "Legitary Anomaly Score," a metric designed to measure reporting discrepancies. The ranking not only highlights operational transparency, but also reveals significant shifts in the streaming ecosystem. SoundCloud's ascension to the top spot is particularly noteworthy, overtaking industry stalwarts like Spotify and Apple Music as the resurgent platform works to strengthen its market standing a decade after near-bankruptcy. Legitary's analysis "underscores SoundCloud's commitment to transparent reporting practices," according to a press release. Meanwhile, YouTube and TikTok appear near the bottom of the ranking due to purported frequent disparities in their reporting accuracy. Along with iHeartRadio, they round out the bottom three spots in a list of 10. "This year's ranking reaffirms that innovation and a commitment to quality can disrupt even the most established players," said Legitary CEO Nermina Mumic. "Transparent and reliable reporting is the cornerstone of a sustainable future for the music industry." You can find Legitary's full DSP ranking below. Legitary

If you haven’t heard, Fyre Festival II is coming back. Well at least Billy McFarland thinks so. Last week, Fyre Festival II tickets went on sale including a $1 Million dollar package. Billy announced it would be taking place from May 30 to June 2 on Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico. He plans to have artists across electronic, hip-hop, pop, and rock for 2,000 attendees. This week, Mexico tourism denied claims that this festival event exists. They stated they have no knowledge of this event, nor contact with any person or company about it. Yesterday, Billy took to Instagram to post an odd video trying to convince us all that Fyre Festival II is happening. In the video, he lists out 7 points as to why the festival is occurring. He takes shots at the Mexican tourism group and reveals he is working with many accommodation groups. He also stated his production and logistics teams wouldn’t take on organizing a fake festival. The event is being produced by Lostnights – a producer with over 20 years of experience The post Billy McFarland Posts Odd Video Trying To Convince People That Fyre II is Real appeared first on EDMTunes.

Boys Noize has been tapped as the exclusive opening act for Nine Inch Nails' sprawling "Peel It Back World Tour." Kicking off in Europe this June before storming North America in August, the tour promises a collision of electronic music and industrial grit—two worlds that Boys Noize and NIN masterminds Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have already proven they can fuse with fiery results. Their history isn't new. Last year, Boys Noize reworked Reznor and Ross' brooding score for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers film into a stunning remix album. One of its tracks, "Pre Signal [MIXED]," was named by EDM.com in its list of 2024's best electronic records. As Nine Inch Nails continue to blur lines between film, rock and electronica, Boys Noize's distorted beats offer a compelling counterpoint to the band's visceral sound. For an industry obsessed with cross-genre pollination, their move to bring the DJ and producer on tour is a testament to how shared creative orbits can yield something greater than the sum of their parts. You can find the full list of "Peel It Back World Tour" dates below and purchase tickets here.

Dreamstate SF will return to the “City by the Bay” on the weekend of April 4-5, 2025 and the trance masterpiece is definitely going to create plenty of exciting memories for all attendees at the historic Cow Palace. The notable world-class superstars of the dance/electronic music industry include the likes of Markus Schulz, Pryda (Eric Prydz), Giuseppe Ottaviani, Ilan Bluestone, and the trance legend and ASOT (A State Of Trance) creator himself, Armin van Buuren. Dreamstate SF 2025 will showcase artists with their own creative production styles However, there are other artists on the Dreamstate SF lineup who everyone should definitely keep an eye out for. To emphasize the star power of Dreamstate SF, here are the five notable artists to check out at the event: Amy Wiles, Cristoph, Nifra, Ben Hemsley, and Maddix. Certainly, these artists can gurantee that the attendees will have an increased surge of blissfu excitement on the main floor and on the seats of the Cow Palace. Amy Wiles The rising star from Essex, England grew up in a family that already loves the genre of electronic music. As a result of that love, the artist kickstarted her career at the age of 16 and got to learn from one of the world’s best trance labels, Anjunabeats. She was a resident DJ for the label in 2018 and since then, her career has skyrocketed to great heights, especially after featuring alongside the likes of Above & Beyond, Oliver Smith, Grum, Gabriel & Dresden, Seven Lions, and more at events such as Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and The Warehouse Project. Following up on the success of her latest EP, Here I Am, Amy Wiles just released her latest single on February 28 titled, ‘Heard It All Before’, released via Anjunabeats. The track featured Leena Punks and flowanastasia and is a hypnotic track that laid the foundation of the track on emotional chords and melodies. The release of the track also follows up on her recently starting her latest residency at London’s well-renowned E1 and she is also undergoing her tour across Europe and the U.S., including at Dreamstate SF itself. Cristoph The British DJ and producer, born as Cristopher Costigan, has earned numerous accolades for the past several years after dopping plenty of nice bangers. The bangers that Cristoph has dropped featured on prominent imprints such as Pryda Presents, Bedrock, Defected, Last Night On Earth, Truesoul, Knee Deep In Sound, Yoshi Toshi, and Selador. From featuring in some of Ibiza’s must-visit residencies to headlining the world’s top music festivals, Cristoph continues to showcase his talents as one of the best progressive house producers worldwide. On this past weekend, Cristoph released his latest track, ‘String Thing’, which will feature on his upcoming album that is set to come out this year. Furthermore, this vibrant track from Cristoph is his first release of 2025 and it came out on his very own label, Consequence of Society Recordings. Many people who plan to attend Dreamstate SF 2025 will for sure enjoy the electrifying emotions that Cristoph plans to bring out at his set. Nifra The Slovakian DJ and producer, born as Nikoleta Frajkorova, grew up already being in love with the electronic music genre. When she approached her teen years, Nifra continued to enhance her craft and her dedication to producing innovative tracks caught the eye of Markus Schulz and in 2014, she joined Schulz Music Group, which then lead her to gain prominence in North America (and later the rest of the world). Since then, she has graced numerous headlining techno and trance stages at international events like ASOT and Beyond Wonderland. A couple weeks ago, Nifra released her latest up-beat jam, ‘Access Code’, via Revealed Recordings of Hardwell. The track wonderfully connects big-room beats with hard techno soundscapes that aim to unleash the dynamic vibes that will amplify the surroundings of the dance floor. The track will also be an absolute top musical piece that will lit up the whole atmosphere of the Cow Palace. Ben Hemsley The rising star from Newcastle upon Tyne is magnifiying his presence as a recognizable name in the U.K. trance and techno industry right now. He started off his career conducting phenomenal sets at under-18 events in his local hometown to headlining residencies in Ibiza and Creamfields. Ben Hemsley also increased his fame after producing a fantastic 2-Hour Essential Mix on Pete Tong‘s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix show back in October 2022. In 2023, Ben Hemsley won in the ‘Best of British Best Producer’ category of the DJ Mag ‘Best Of’ Awards. For a producer who has featured on the likes of Repopulate Mars, Ministry of Sound, and bebé, Helmsley officialy joined the BBC Radio 1 Residency series back in April of last year and he hosted his first show on the series on June 6th, his birthday, and dedicated his show to Ibiza. The weekend of April 4-5 at the Cow Palace will definitely allow everyone to see why he is going to be one of the best British names in electronic music for many years to come. Maddix Born as Pablo Ridnt, the Dutch DJ and producer is winning over many fans worldwide with his innovative style of music that seamlessly bridges the pulse-pounding sounds of techno and trance alongside the energetic rhythms of big room and hardstyle. Maddix is becoming a world-class icon in electronic music after putting on masterclass sets at festivals such as Ultra, EDC, Parookavaille, World Club Dome, and Mysteryland. Maddix has also solidified amazing partnerships with some of the great names in the industry like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Umek, KSHMR, and Timmy Trumpet. In fact, at the most recent ASOT 2025, Maddix conducted an unforgettable F2F (feature-2-feature) set alongside Armin himself that got the world of music talking. Following up on the grand success of that F2F set, Maddix released ‘Hellfire’ with Gabry Ponte on his Extatic Records imprint and the release is an addicting techno track with a four-to-the-floor style that brings an oustanding melodic power that aims to reverbrate throughout the entire dance floor. Dreamstate SF 2025 is going to be the perfect spot for Maddix to show fans there that he is continuing to bring out the firepower that he had brought out at the historic F2F set.
