[EDM.com] Skrillex Just Dropped a Mystery Track In Fans' Email Inboxes
The inbox of Skrillex fans lit up with an unexpected surprise moments ago: a personal email from the electronic music icon himself containing a snippet of new music. Skrillex today reached out to fans via email, sharing audio of an unreleased song titled "Bibi's Tower." The track's title has sparked speculation within Skrillex's fan community about a potential collaboration with singer-songwriter Bibi Bourelly, with whom he collaborated to release 2023's "Don't Get Too Close" and "Still Here." Whether or not he just soft-launched a new album, however, remains to be seen. Skrillex currently has at least two rumored albums in the works, which had been expected to release back in 2023. The correspondence marks a shift in the artist's digital communication strategy, with Skrillex asserting direct control over his email marketing for the first time in years. While details about "Bibi's Tower" remain scarce, this surprise drop seems to signal a new era of spontaneous releases and direct fan engagement from the legendary DJ and producer. The move aligns with a growing trend of artists bypassing traditional promotional channels in favor of more personal, direct communication with their fans. "I've got control of my website/email address now, so I can start sending stuff any time I want!" he wrote in a post on X, suggesting that fan communications were previously handled by his team rather than himself. You can listen to the "Bibi's Tower" audio here.

[EDM.com] "Trust, Transparency and Accountability": How Brooklyn Mirage's New CEO Is Reshaping New York Venue
Brooklyn Mirage is both a paradise and a paradox. Unparalleled programming and production intertwined with some serious pitfalls have created a perception of the storied EDM venue that seesaws between excellence and dysfunction. But with new leadership at the helm, 2025 could be a turning point. First, the good. There’s no denying that the New York venue’s curation is top-notch. Dance music’s biggest artists—like Carl Cox, John Summit, Keinemusik, Black Coffee and Swedish House Mafia—often take the stage at Brooklyn Mirage. Record labels and brands with thriving communities—like Anjunadeep, Boiler Room, Mayan Warrior and All Day I Dream—curate shows there too. And rewarding the truest of revelers, dusk-to-dawn shows are hosted regularly, spurring sunrise sets in a sprawling setting that few stateside venues can pull off. Plus, the venue’s production rivals festival stages. The sound system is stellar and Brooklyn Mirage’s gargantuan, 300-foot, 14K LED video wall is a spectacle. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Reports in recent years of operational mismanagement and safety concerns have soured the venue’s relationship with longstanding patrons. Social media is rampant with accounts of aggressive security, oversold shows and confiscation of Narcan, a life-saving medication that’s widely considered a critical harm reduction tool in the dance music community. A pair of mysterious deaths near Brooklyn Mirage in 2023 also cast a long shadow over the venue’s reputation, fueling calls for greater accountability and improved safety measures. Josh Wyatt, the new CEO of Avant Gardner—the multi-venue complex that houses Brooklyn Mirage—is determined to tackle the venue’s most pressing concerns with meaningful change. "Trust, transparency and accountability are the three key words in my moral compass," Wyatt tells EDM.com in a sweeping interview. "I have pushed those three words down into the fiber of the company to ensure that employees understand that these are key expectations I have as CEO." It’s natural to be skeptical about lofty statements. "So what does this all mean in practice?" Wyatt himself segues, expanding on several concrete ways to rebuild trust with patrons who may have had negative experiences at Brooklyn Mirage in the past. “We’ve heard feedback that the way security interacts with fans is too draconian,” he says. “I think that comes down to training and a commitment to change the company culture.” To address this feedback, Wyatt plans to expand Brooklyn Mirage’s guest ambassador program and have all staff undergo hospitality training. This community-based approach to guest relations should translate to more pleasant experiences with staff once Brooklyn Mirage reopens later this year, he says. "It's one thing to understand the technical details of the venue, but it's another thing to actually be trained with a culture of hospitality: welcoming people, really wanting to make sure that guests feel safe, feel heard and are given the opportunity to have a great time." Avant Gardner and Brooklyn Mirage CEO Josh Wyatt.Muccitas Apart from hospitality training, Wyatt mentions that all staff has already undergone training on harm reduction, overdose prevention, anti-harassment, sexual violence prevention, CPR/AED, bystander intervention and Narcan administration. Regarding past reports of staff confiscating Narcan, he affirms that the medicine is permitted into the venue and that all staff has been made aware of the policy. However, Wyatt stresses that patrons in need of help should seek out trained medical professionals who will be onsite at every show. But it’s not just the way in which staff members interact with fans that has proven to be an albatross for Brooklyn Mirage—it’s also the way they present themselves. "When someone comes in and sees security in quasi-military gear, it certainly sends a message, and that message is definitely not one of openness and positivity,” Wyatt admits. "Our goal would be similar to the U.S. Secret Service or Federal Air Marshals. There's a lot of stuff that happens behind the scenes that you never see, yet it’s safe for politicians to give a speech, and it’s also safe for us to fly." Wyatt emphasizes there’s nuance in prioritizing security while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. “It’s almost like being a swan. We’re paddling furiously underneath, but all you should see is a hospitality-forward company.” When it comes to safety outside the venue’s walls, Brooklyn Mirage is investing in improvements, Wyatt says, to “lighting, fencing, perimeter sight lines, way-finding, signage to subways and rideshare, and cell phone service—through finally getting the right permits and licenses to install more cell phone towers.” These changes should make a big difference since the streets surrounding Brooklyn Mirage are relatively quiet with limited residential presence. The immediate vicinity comprises several blocks of warehouses, factories and commercial buildings with sparse street lighting and low pedestrian traffic. The venue will also continue working with both NYPD and private security to patrol the surrounding neighborhood after shows end, policing unlicensed drivers from picking up inebriated patrons. Though Wyatt states that there are legal and technical limits to what they can do once someone exits the venue. “It’s more of a neighborhood or community problem,” he adds. “I would challenge everyone around us as neighbors to work together collectively—whether it's other nightlife operators in the area, property owners or politicians—we need to work together to make the neighborhood a more welcoming place." Apart from hospitality and safety, capacity is one of the biggest criticisms of Brooklyn Mirage. Patrons often report that shows feel overcrowded and oversold, sometimes raising concerns about potential fire hazards. Wyatt views capacity across two axes: technical (the layout of the dancefloor) and functional (the number of people on the dancefloor). On the technical front, “there will be no barriers, columns or production tents on the dancefloor,” Wyatt says. “That's a very simple but profound fix that we think will improve crowd flow.” If you’ve been to Brooklyn Mirage, you’ve probably experienced bottlenecks around the steel boundaries of the large production tent at the back of the dancefloor or around the towering, obstructive columns spread across the dancefloor. Eliminating these structures will open up significantly more space for dancing. Wyatt also promises new spaces with direct sight lines to the stage. Bryan Kwon In fact, holding true to its name, Brooklyn Mirage as we know it is going to disappear. The space is being rebuilt from the ground up, and the rebuild will result in a larger dancefloor and dynamic production design. “We can't fully disclose what we're doing, but I can tell you that when you walk into Brooklyn Mirage for the first time, you're going to see a set design that will blow you away,” Wyatt emphasizes. “Then when you come back two weeks or two months later, it's going to look totally different. The type of technology that we're designing to be able to allow us to do that is bespoke and has never been done before—I think it’s pretty mind-blowing.” Love it or hate it, Brooklyn Mirage will sunset its signature video wall. Wyatt favors flexibility in stage design and thinks the video wall creates a fixed point of view that restricts optionality. “We’ve been flirting with new production elements ahead of the 2025 Mirage season,” he says. “One of our first tests was this sort of 360° pulsating visual rig that we put up for Rampa at the Great Hall in December.” "The second area of technical flow is how people get in and out of the venue and how people get between the different sections within the venue,” Wyatt continues. “With the new venue design, we've addressed all pressure points to make the guest experience a lot easier and more intuitive in terms of flowing through the venue. Because it's not just about dancing, it's also about the ability to get to the exits, bars and bathrooms quickly." Aside from streamlined flow, Wyatt says the revamped Brooklyn Mirage will also have “new areas where people can peel out of the main dancefloor, hang out and have much better experiences and side quests around the entire campus.” If you’ve ever been to the venue and found yourself stumped by an aggressive security guard telling you that the elevated floors are closed off, Wyatt wants to fix that. He acknowledges that area restrictions were not always clearly communicated by staff in the past, but enhanced signage and hospitality training will change that. Alive Coverage When it comes to the burning question of whether Brooklyn Mirage oversells shows, Wyatt says he wants to be both “transparent and a little combative” in his response. “I've seen the numbers. In the past for 2023 and before, I think there was overselling,” he reveals. “In 2024, there was a cap on the number of tickets that were sold. I have all the data and other than maybe one or two shows, there was never overselling of tickets. So I acknowledge that customer feedback that it's been overcrowded, but since I came on board, I said whatever the venue capacity is, you cannot sell one ticket beyond that.” “Perception is everything,” he adds. “We have to communicate effectively with all the constituents that touch the company—vendors, employees, neighbors, politicians and of course fans. We’ve been putting out communications in writing, on social media, and in person to tell people what we are going to do, show people that we've listened to their feedback and to provide a solution to any type of challenge that people have faced.” If you scroll through Brooklyn Mirage’s Instagram page, you’ll notice a drastic difference in how they are engaging with fans. Any criticism is met with openness and positivity. Before Wyatt joined the company, responses to comments on social media were non-existent. “We need to have an active dialogue where you recognize a customer has had either a positive experience or a negative experience, and comment on that to either give reinforcement to the positive moment or a service path to recovering from a negative moment,” Wyatt explains. “The team has been incentivized to be very engaged on social media.” Alongside Net Promoter Score, a standardized methodology for benchmarking and capturing feedback in the hospitality and nightlife industry, Brooklyn Mirage will collate customer sentiment on social media to measure the success of its new policies on improving the guest experience. Wyatt’s focus on guest satisfaction stems from over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry. “I've always been deeply motivated and inspired by creative companies that have a meaningful community,” he says. “Brands that can define, support and grow a community are brands that typically stand the test of time. They may go through ups and downs, but the ones I think that survive and eventually thrive over years and more importantly decades are ones that understand their community and know how to foster a long-term view of that community. I've always aligned myself to companies that follow that mantra.” Wyatt’s most recent tenure as CEO of social club NeueHouse and its sister company, the photography museum Fotografiska, was rooted in community-building. NeuHouse’s cultural programming (artist talks, film screenings, creator dinners), interior design (communal workspaces and lounges) and membership were designed to foster a vibrant community of creators, inventors and thought leaders. His past experiences as president of Equinox Hotels and co-founder of Generator Hostels share similar community underpinnings. “When I started Generator—back when the word Millennial was the equivalent of what Gen Z is today—no one understood the concept of bringing together high-level interior design, cultural curation and music into the budget travel industry,” he says. “We did that with Generator.” Part of Wyatt’s efforts with Generator also included an early discovery of now-global music broadcasting platform Boiler Room. “We were the first to ever bring Boiler Room on the road,” he recalls. “We found them in a garage in Shoreditch back in 2008 and thought that they were incredible and that they should travel. So we were the first ones to ever actually stream a touring Boiler Room. It happened in Berlin, back in 2010, and was the first touch point I had seeing the power of electronic music with a communal, tribal vibe—people coming together to experience a profound sense of joy and emotion.” To this day, Wyatt still champions rising talent, pointing to Keinemusik supporting Desiree and Black Coffee working with Shimza as great examples. In turn, he aims to use Brooklyn Mirage as a lever where established acts can amplify emerging talents, an opportunity he called "one of the best parts about this job." “One of the things that I'm intrigued by is this concept of established artists or platforms that are also really, really good at developing talent underneath them and elevating that talent, whether it's directly on a label or just as friends.” Brooklyn Mirage kicks off its 2025 season on May 1st.

[EDMTunes] Ultra Music Festival Completes Lineup for 25th Anniversary
It’s Ultra Tuesday and this was a big one. Ultra Music Festival dropped its Phase 3 lineup, completing the roster for the festival’s 25th Anniversary edition. Phase 3 is usually a housekeeping affair, but this time there were a few notable additions. The headliners list now officially includes Skrillex (who was previously announced) along with Oliver Heldens. The support section now has added LTJ Bukem, Mar-T, Marco Faraone, Joel Corry, Ruben de Ronde, and Sonny Fodera. Finally, the local support acts were included on the final slide, including our very own Lemony Snicketts! One surprising new addition is Amnesia Ibiza as a stage host. You’ll recall that Resistance recently announced its 2025 return to Ibiza would be hosted at Amnesia, so the reciprocity makes sense here. We can only assume Amnesia will be taking over one of the Resistance stages along with Carl Cox Invites, and Diynamic View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ultra Music Festival (@ultra) The post Ultra Music Festival Completes Lineup for 25th Anniversary appeared first on EDMTunes.

[EDM.com] John Summit and Dom Dolla's Pre-Super Bowl Pop-Up DJ Set Shut Down On Bourbon Street
A surprise performance by electronic music superstars John Summit and Dom Dolla on New Orleans' iconic Bourbon Street came to an abrupt end on Saturday when local police intervened due to security concerns. The impromptu concert, sponsored by Don Julio Tequila, drew an unexpectedly large crowd just one day before the Philadelphia Eagles' blowout victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The event had quickly spread through word of mouth and social media, transforming the already-bustling French Quarter into a daytime rave. At one point, Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared alongside Summit and Dolla, who often DJ together under their collaborative alias Everything Always. View the original article to see embedded media. Despite Don Julio Tequila having necessary permits and safety measures in place, according to Dolla, the sheer volume of attendees ultimately forced authorities to end the pop-up DJ set early. He then shared a video in which a police officer told the pair to "shut it down." "For anybody concerned: Don Julio had approval from the city, safety and security measures were in place," Dolla stated on social media. "The issue was the party got too big and we had to end it early." View the original article to see embedded media. The incident serves a stark reminder of how quickly viral moments can overwhelm city infrastructure. Neither the New Orleans Police Department nor Don Julio have issued official statements about the performance at the time of reporting, though the latter said in an Instagram post that it "shut down" Bourbon Street. Cathy Lanier, the NFL's Chief Security Officer, said prior to Super Bowl LIX that "thousands" of police officers were being deployed in New Orleans to keep the city safe. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry also reportedly issued an emergency order to create a security zone around Bourbon Street, directing officers to search purses or bags at various checkpoints.

[EDM.com] "Unapologetic Diversity of LA Nightlife": 3 Rising Local DJs Discuss 2025 Skyline Festival
The vibrant streets of Downtown Los Angeles will once again reverberate with the sounds of house and techno as Skyline Festival returnd this weekend for its fourth iteration. Organized by Insomniac Events, the two-day event will once again return to Grand Park for a multi-block takeover stretching from the music center to city hall. Within those boundaries, attendees can expect to find three distinct stages showcasing an array of international talent within the house and techno genres. Cloonee, Green Velvet, Nico Moreno, The Martinez Brothers, Marco Carola, Matroda, and Gordo are all scheduled to perform at the Factory 93-branded event. However, there will be one area within the festival championing the sounds that make LA's dance scene stand out from other cities. Skyline's Arts District stage will feature local underground DJs showcasing the diverse sounds coming out of the City of Angels. The area will allow the scene’s leading names to perform alongside industry titans, all while shining a light on LA's underground dance community. EDM.com caught up with three rising acts set to perform at Skyline to hear unique perspectives on LA's dance music scene. OJ c/o Press “LA is the city where I first discovered electronic music and raving. Years of going to underground parties motivated me to pursue the craft myself, and the people I’ve met along the way—fellow DJs, artists, promoters, dancefloor friends—have given me the confidence to keep going. To be a part of the Arts District lineup celebrating this community feels like a very full-circle moment! Whenever I meet artists or ravers from other cities, I feel proud to tell them about the LA scene - how there are dozens of parties happening on any given night, each curating its own flavor of vibe and genre. This creates an environment where artists can experiment and not feel limited. You can see that diversity in the Arts District lineup, and it’s influenced me as a multi-genre DJ and producer.” Trussie c/o Press “I feel honored to represent LA's underground bass music scene. In a city with many more platforms for house and techno, my friends and I are fighting to create new spaces for bassier, left-field, and global dance genres. I think it's not a coincidence that the people pushing this needle forward in LA—Introspekt, Carre and Bianca Oblivion—are all women.” Soul Purpose c/o Press "I was born and raised in LA, and my identity—both musically and personally—was shaped by the city’s dance music scene and its queer underground. Playing the Arts District stage for me is about honoring the spaces and people who built this culture before me, the ones who fiercely and courageously carved out spaces for my self-expression, resistance, and joy. I’m absolutely gagged by the artists I’ll be sharing this stage with and will be out in the crowd supporting them; that’s one of my favorite things about the underground—we are there for each other. The Arts District continues to reflect that and the raw, unapologetic diversity of LA nightlife—the creators, the builders, the disruptors. And right now, with so much at stake for queer and marginalized communities, we need to hold on to that spirit of creating, building, and disrupting through community and music more than ever."

[EDM.com] Winter Music Conference Announces First Wave of 2025 Programming
After six years of silence, Winter Music Conference is finding new rhythm once more. With just six weeks until its long-awaited return, organizers have revealed the first wave of programming for its milestone 35th anniversary, promising a lineup packed with dance music’s most influential artists and industry power players. Taking place from March 26-28 at the historic Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort, WMC 2025 promises three days of insightful panels, educational workshops and networking events designed to fuel the next chapter of electronic music's creation. LP Giobbi, Shimza, HAYLA and Aluna are some of the notable artists slated to appear, joining a roster of executives and thought leaders from Ultra Records, SoundCloud, Defected Records, Kompass Music Group and Wasserman, among many others. For a conference that once set the blueprint for Miami Music Week, this year's edition marks a significant return to form after a six-year absence. WMC's return to Miami feels like a homecoming for an industry that has transformed dramatically in its absence. WMC last took place in 2019, with plans for a 2020 revival derailed by the pandemic. A virtual edition followed, but the physical event has remained dormant until now. As dance music continues to thrive in new markets, digital spaces and crossover genres, this year’s edition offers a rare chance for both veterans and newcomers to once more shape its future together, in person. Panels and discussions will explore the evolution of music distribution, artist branding in the streaming age and the impact of emerging technologies on the creative process. Over 60 industry leaders are scheduled to participate with moderators from Billboard, SPIN, EDM.com and DJ Mag guiding the conversations. Beyond the conference halls, attendees can expect signature WMC events, including the Official WMC Pool Party, a Kickoff Networking Mixer and a new awards ceremony merging the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs) and the International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs). The latter promises a star-studded closing event, celebrating fan-favorite artists. WMC 2025 tickets are on sale now at on the conference's official website.

[EDM.com] AI-Generated Album Fraudulently Uploaded to Streaming Services as ODESZA
Confusion hit the ODESZA fanbase after an AI-generated album surfaced on streaming platforms, masquerading as the duo's original work. The fake release, which was fraudulently linked to ODESZA's official unique identifier for artists on streaming services, was initially available on SoundCloud, Amazon Music and YouTube. ODESZA's team has since removed the music, but the incident serves as a wake-up call that without stronger protections in place, AI-generated fraud will continue to create problems for artists and fans alike. It has reignited concerns over the ease with which fake music can infiltrate major platforms. The fact that the release was able to go live on streaming platforms without immediate detection could fuel growing frustrations surrounding AI-powered music production and distribution platforms, which have increasingly been used to create counterfeit music that steals streams, misleads fans and damages the credibility of real artists. ODESZA have not yet publicly commented on the situation at the time of this writing.

[EDM.com] BLOND:ISH Becomes First Female Resident Headliner at Pacha Ibiza
Pacha Ibiza has been the crown jewel of the island’s nightlife for over 50 years, but until now, no female DJ has ever been tapped to headline as a resident artist. That changes this summer when BLOND:ISH becomes the first female to lead a season-long residency at the iconic club, according to Billboard. The Canadian DJ, producer and sustainability advocate, who has long championed the intersection of music and environmental responsibility, will take over Pacha Ibiza every Wednesday from May 21st through July 30th with her "Abracadabra" party series. The opportunity is a natural fit for BLOND:ISH, whose career has been defined by breaking both musical and cultural boundaries. BLOND:ISH’s appointment as Pacha’s first female resident signals a shift in Ibiza’s nightlife landscape, reflecting a broader push for inclusivity in an industry historically dominated by male artists. While her residency is a personal milestone, it’s also a step toward reshaping the status quo in club culture. “I've been going to Ibiza since I was 17, so you can imagine that I’ve been dreaming about a residency, and what I can bring to the island that’s unique,” she shared. Since opening its doors in 1973, Pacha Ibiza has been a global institution that has helped shape the very fabric of electronic music culture. Over the decades, it has hosted industry titans from Solomun to Swedish House Mafia, cultivating a legacy that few venues can rival. Tickets for BLOND:ISH’s "Abracadabra" residency at Pacha Ibiza are available now. View the original article to see embedded media.

From that fateful set in Ibiza to the pounding synergy of "Road Runner," their creative bond has flourished across tours, remixes and many memorable b2b sets. As the new single storms onto sound systems and stages alike, it simultaneously offers a tantalizing glimpse of what’s coming.

[EDM.com] Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd Raise the Curtains On New Collaboration, "Closing Night"
Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd have reunited for "Closing Night," a new track steeped in the seductive melancholy that has defined their collaborations thus far. Available exclusively on the "Pharrell Williams" edition of Hurry Up Tomorrow, the song marks another chapter in a partnership that has blurred the lines between electronic music and pop grandeur. For Swedish House Mafia, the track reinforces their unique ability to meld their stadium-filling, euphoric sound with something more intimate, an ability that has kept them at the forefront of electronic music for over a decade. The trio stuns with sweeping synths, aching chord progressions and an undercurrent of tension that builds like a slow-burning fire beneath The Weeknd's vocals. The collaboration is another addition to a saga that began in 2021 with "Moth to a Flame," their hypnotic anthem that became a billion-stream behemoth. They followed it up in 2022 by co-producing "Sacrifice" and "How Do I Make You Love Me?" on Dawn FM, projects that further wove The Weeknd into the fabric of the electronic dance music world.

[GrooveCartel] Ky William and ANATTA teams up for ‘Mania’
The new song by Ky William and ANATTA, “Mania,” with haunting vocals by Sophie Engerman, is a cultural artifact. The song was released on Factory93 Records, a label known for both cutting-edge and roots-conscious electronic music. It walks a fine line between remembering the house’s rich history and bringing it into the present. But what does it mean to talk about an “old-school” house in the year 2025? This brings us to the question of how artists like Ky William make something that is both respectful and new. “Mania” is a great example of how to keep things simple. Tight, swinging drums and a bassline that coils like smoke bring to mind the sweaty, raw energy of the early house scenes in Chicago and New York. Think of Larry Heard’s soulful depths or Frankie Knuckles’ cathedral-sized grooves. It’s not a retro copy, though. Sophie Engerman sings the track’s hypnotic vocal loops with sultry precision, which makes you feel a kind of digital-age restlessness. Engerman’s voice doesn’t just float on top of the mix; it changes it, becoming another percussion sound that puts the listener in a trance. Here, the past and the present meet: the warm imperfections of analog production meet the surgical accuracy of modern production. This duality brings up bigger questions about how house music has changed over time. Pioneers of the genre often made magical experiences with only drum machines, samplers, and a “do it yourself” mentality. Artists today have access to a huge amount of digital tools. But “Mania” cuts back on purpose, following the idea that “less is more.” Is this a rejection of the extremes of EDM or a deeper nod to the roots of house music? The track’s stripped-down arrangement makes me think of both. Its subtle use of modern flourishes—sub-bass shudders and crisply layered hi-hats—doesn’t distract, but instead strengthens the groove, showing that new ideas don’t need to be overly complicated. Ky William and the New Guard of the Underground To understand what “Mania” means, you have to look at Ky William’s life. From humble beginnings, he has become a key figure in the underground’s revivalist wave. His work with Noizu’s Techne imprint and previous records on Nervous Records—a label that connects the past and present of house music—shows that he is familiar with house music’s language but eager to change its syntax. Ky William started Andhera Records, which is one of a number of artist-led labels that put sound quality over market appeal. Examples include Mall Grab’s Steel City Dance Discs and Chaos in the CBD’s In Dust We Trust. But his work with ANATTA and Factory93 feels especially important. Factory93, Insomniac’s event-driven label, has become a hub for underground acts looking for mainstream-like venues without giving up their integrity. “Mania” isn’t just a song in this situation; it’s a message. It shows that a rough, unfinished house can do well in a business that is usually all about drops that are ready for festivals. Ky William’s rise is part of a larger trend: people are tired of algorithm-driven blandness and are rediscovering the closeness of groove-focused, DJ-friendly tools.

[EDMTunes] T-Mobile Opens Up Beta Testing for Starlink Access
Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone, with a variety of commercials graded from A to F including a T-Mobile Starlink advertisement. Yes, the one-minute ad showcased a rotating Earth and video moments along with a satellite hovering over the atmosphere. It all returns to the ground with a message to try the free Beta now through July. T-Mobile is taking wireless to the next level with Starlink. What this entails is satellite-to-mobile technology where you can turn your mobile device into a satellite phone, staying connected like never before. We all know T-Mobile’s reputation for quality of phone service, but they’re certainly trying to gain more recognition now. They’re boasting cellular service from rugged mountain peaks to remote lakes, pushing the boundaries of connectivity. You can register for the beta today right here. What To Know About the Beta T-Mobile Starlink is the first major low-earth orbit constellation in the world paired with terrestrial cellular spectrum, making the phone in your pocket work in areas of the U.S. that have never, and probably never will, have ground based coverage. It’s a truly groundbreaking engineering breakthrough and means that we are one step closer to helping T-Mobile customers have confidence that, no matter where they are, if they can see the sky, they will be covered by T-Mobile.” – Mike Katz, President of Marketing, Strategy and Products, T-Mobile The beta testing is free to iOS and Android users until July and uses a network of low-Earth orbit satellites to grant people high-speed internet access in dead zones. That national park you couldn’t post your Instagram stories at? Full send now. Spotty service on a summit from coast to coast to reach grandma? Gone. Starlink currently has 300 direct-to-cell satellites that provide coverage for the 500,000 square miles of US land not covered by cell towers. There is a catch, however. Only these select models of phones can access it. Apple iPhone 14 and later (including Plus, Pro, and Pro Max) Google Pixel 9 (including Pro, Pro Fold, and Pro XL) Motorola 2024 and later (including Razr, Razr+, Edge, and G series) Samsung Galaxy A14, A15, A16, A35, A53, and A54 Samsung Galaxy S21 and later (including Plus, Ultra, and Fan Edition) Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and later Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and later REVVL 7 (including Pro) Yes, unfortunately you can only take advantage of the service with a phone from the last four years. And the beta only allows plain text messaging. Voice calls, video/photo sharing, and mobile data will come later. You will also need to update your device to the latest iOS. Lastly, after the beta testing period, you can then decide if you want to continue the service. For T-Mobile customers, rates vary based on your current plan but can cost $15/month; if you sign up for the beta testing before the end of February, you can receive the Early Adopter discount at $10/month. For AT&T and Verizon users, it will cost $20/month. Worth it? Find out how this can help you on T-Mobile’s website here.

[EDMTunes] Miami Moves Closer To Renovating Miami Marine Stadium
The long-awaited reopening of the Miami Marine Stadium is on the horizon. Miami is finally taking real steps to restore its iconic Marine Stadium after years of delays. The city has issued a request for proposals to find a private operator to manage the historic venue on Virginia Key, aiming to reopen it as a world-class concert and performance space. The operator would help plan renovations, book events, and sustain the stadium financially. The city will handle the costly restoration, but funding details remain uncertain, with previous bond approvals falling through. We can already begin to imagine all the big names that would rock the stadium on the water. The stadium would especially thrive during Miami Music Week and Ultra. Officials hope that a finalized renovation plan will solidify funding sources, potentially through new bonds, preservation tax credits, and local taxes. With a fast-tracked timeline, bidders will tour the site this month, proposals are due in April, and a winner could be chosen by May. If voters approve the selected operator in November, the stadium’s revival will move forward, positioning it as a premier entertainment venue similar to Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.
