Insomniac Records closes out 2024 with a compilation that shows exactly why they’ve become such a force in electronic music. Their 25-track ‘Best of’ collection captures what the label does best: releasing music that works both on massive festival stages and in intimate clubs. BLOND:ISH’s “Never Walk Alone” stands out as a perfect example. The track pairs Steve Appleton’s vocals with a groove that’s helped it rack up 17 million Spotify streams and land coverage from BBC Radio 1 to KISS FM. HUGEL and Diplo’s “Forever” brings similar crossover appeal, topping Beatport’s Afro House chart while finding its way into Billboard and Mixmag. The label’s grown beyond its original scope too. Their new publishing division and studio complex at Insomniac HQ point to bigger ambitions. Between the main imprint and sub-labels like Factory93 and HARD Records, they’ve put out over 700 tracks this year from artists spanning the electronic spectrum – from Boys Noize’s raw techno to Miss Monique’s progressive house. Their festival presence has expanded naturally, with label stages at EDC Vegas, Beyond Wonderland, and even their cruise festival EDSea. The Discovery Project keeps feeding new talent into the pipeline, with artists like Illenium and Seven Lions helping judge the next generation. Insomniac Records has built something solid here – a label that can push both streaming hits and underground heaters without losing its grip on either. That’s harder than it looks.

Sound Nightclub, a cornerstone of Los Angeles' electronic music scene, has announced a flexible refund policy for all January events in response to the ongoing wildfire crisis affecting the metropolitan area. There are currently five active wildfires raging in the LA metropolitan area, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, including the catastrophic Palisades Fire. Fueled by high-speed winds, that blaze alone has scorched nearly 20,000 acres and is now "one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles," according to Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. Five people have reportedly died as the uncontained blaze continues to spread, but officials say the death toll is likely higher. Evacuation orders are impacting roughly 200,000 residents at the time of this writing. Firefighters battling the catastrophic Palisades Fire.California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Sound Nightclub, located in the heart of Hollywood, will remain operational but is offering ticket-holders the option to receive full refunds without requiring justification.

Please prioritize your safety and well-being," Sound said in a statement. "Sound will remain open as scheduled, however, to support our community, we are offering no-questions-asked refunds for all events scheduled through the rest of January, aiming to ease any additional stress or pressure."

After an amazing ProperNYE B2B set with Sultan + Shepard, this is the perfect way to kick off the new year. Don’t miss out—stream Childish(ish) now on all your favorite platforms and experience the magic for yourself! Childish(ish) EP Childish(ish) kicks off with ‘Walk The Plank’. A captivating dark techno track that you might recognize as ID 9 from the latest Winter 2024 Mixtape. Fans first experienced it live at Proper NYE earlier this month. Daniel even teased this track at the conclusion of his nine-day video. Its vibe aligns closely with tracks like ‘The Little Mushroom That Got Away’ or ‘Rave’ making it an exciting addition to Lane 8’s evolving sound. What is Lane 8’s new direction? This EP represents a meaningful shift for Lane 8 Childish(ish) evokes themes of innocence and freedom, reflected in its bright melodic structures and upbeat tones. The tracks take on a lighter, more carefree essence, embracing experimental sounds that invite listeners to lose themselves in the music. ‘Left Hand’ also known as ID 5 from the Winter 2024 Mixtape, is another remarkable standout that underscores this new direction. The production on these tracks is brilliantly minimalist, honing in on catchy rhythms and playful synths that make the melodies truly stand out. This approach eliminates unnecessary heaviness, perfectly embodying the Childish and Childish(ish) concept. Notably ‘First Light,’ the hidden gem from the Childish vinyl, has been officially released by Daniel for everyone to enjoy. It’s a gift for those who missed the vinyl edition. This track showcases innovative sound design, skillfully blending electronic textures with organic elements to create a captivating auditory experience. ‘First Light’ powerfully evokes emotions, capturing the essence of new beginnings and the promise of a fresh start, making it an exceptional highlight of the EP.

It’s officially 2025, which means it’s just weeks away from Groove Cruise 2025. Not only is it one of the first music festivals of the new year each year, but it has become an annual retreat for thousands that flock to Florida to escape to a magical fantasyland called Groove Cruise. Whether you’re a first-timer virgin or you’ve been on Groove Cruise before, we compiled a list of things to know before you go, so you can be ready on January 23, 2025. People don’t f*** around with the themes You may be one of those people who doesn’t really enjoy costumes and doesn’t really get into themed parties. I get it and I’m one of those people too. Just know that on Groove Cruise people take the daily themes VERY seriously, and this can be the one place where you let go and join in on the fun. Think about it, Groove Cruise is a fictional place that only exists for a few days a year. This is a place where you can completely let go of any inhibitions and live your best life. The only time your fellow cruisers will look like normal people is on the final day when you’re getting off disembarking the ship. You don’t have to do them all, but go on Amazon and buy a few $20-$35 costumes. You’ll be shocked at how far people go with it. In 2024 there was a decades theme, and one group of people all went as some decade from the 1800s and it was hysterical. Start planning it out now, and don’t worry about space in your luggage because you aren’t paying by the bag anyway. If you’re unsure about the represent theme…. First-Timer = Virgin So Groove Cruise is full of lingo and inside jokes. At first, it all seems cheesy af, but by the end, you’ll be in on the joke and won’t care. If this is your first Groove Cruise, you’re a VIRGIN! On Day 1, you’re expected to board the ship wearing a color based on the number of Groove Cruises you’ve been on, your hometown, your home country, or whatever you want. Virgins wear white, but you don’t have to feel embarrassed. On the contrary, when people see virgins on Groove Cruise they go out of their way to chat you up, fist bump, high five, offer you a shot, and they will 100% tell you how many Groove Cruises they’ve been on and how much they love it. Wear your white proudly and make a dozen or two new friends throughout the first afternoon! Even after the first day, anybody you meet will ask you how many groove cruises you’ve been on – so the good vibes continue for the whole trip. Also, you’re officially now part of the GCFAM. Artist Experiences Besides all the DJ sets there are all these cool artist activations that make Groove Cruise unique. Whether it’s a dinner, Mario Kart, or a zipline, doing these activities with a DJ you admire is pretty cool. Even if you don’t want to spend the money on a specialized artist experience, the best thing about Groove Cruise is that the DJs are on the cruise with you. It’s their vacation too! You can have a real conversation and hang out with some of them, see them in the gym. You’ll run into them multiple times at various places. They’re regular people too, you know. GOOOOOOD Morning Groove Cruisers!! Groove Cruise is full of ravers representing the full spectrum of activity levels and ages, but it skews towards more experienced ravers. That being said, the party is going on 24/7 if you want it to be. Some people may stay up till sunrise each day and others might hit the hay early. Groove Cruise doesn’t want you to sleep through all of the fun or be unaware of the activities for the day, so each morning you are greeted with a “GOOOOOD MORNING GROOVE CRUISERS” over the ship’s PA system (which pipes into your cabins btw). Groove Cruise’s fearless leader, Jason, will make sure you’re awake and then give you a walkthrough of the day’s activities. Sometimes they’ll play music, even a track specifically produced to be annoying that tells you to “wake the f*** up” for a solid 5 minutes before the announcements begin. It is quite literally the clarion call of GC, and it will annoy you and amuse you in equal parts. It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint As mentioned above, Groove Cruise is a 24/5 party, so you could party all the way through and make it a 4.5-day bender. Don’t do this. Luckily, most Groove Cruises are experienced partiers who know their limits, so you won’t see hooliganism or bad vibes. The parties are omnipresent, much like the food, drinks, and bathrooms. You can dip in and out at your leisure, and GC is designed for people to bop around to all the stages pretty frequently. It’s not your standard festival where everybody is crowding the main stage, although there will be a few sets like that for sure. The set times will be dropping any day now, but don’t stress and plan as obsessively as you would at a normal festival. You’ll be able to check out every single set for a moment if you want to because you’re fully available and they’re all just a few minutes away from eachother. This year there will be twice as many stages as last year (!!) and there will be four main stages (aqua theater, solarium, theater, pool) instead of two (pool and theater in 2024). Don’t be shy, go grab a plate of pizza and bring it to the party with you. Plan for breaks, chill time, and sleep in your schedule. Wake up and hit that breakfast buffet, get into your day theme and a swimsuit, and hit the upper decks. For 2025, the typical pool deck stage will be moved to the very back of the ship at the amphitheater. After the day rager, I always planned a nice 1-2 hour nap around sundown before dinner. Then after dinner go stage hop for a while. If you’re gonna make it a late night or all night then take a breather somewhere in there. Check Out Whet Oasis One of the underrated aspects of Groove Cruise that is returning to form in 2025 is the Whet Oasis. This is the chill-down zone complete with comfy pillows, massage guns, and more. When GC took place on Celebrity ships, the Whet Oasis was placed in the Solarium pool area. This was a 24/7 pool area covered with a skylight so you could see the sky without feeling the elements. Better yet, the area had a heated freshwater hydrotherapy pool and hot tubs. To make some magic here, Groove Cruise set up a DJ table at the pool where a DJ would play chill and spiritual house. The DJ table was also filled with candles to create a super relaxed vibe. In 2024, the Norwegian Encore did not have a solarium, and Whet Oasis was moved to an observation lounge with no pool. For 2025, Whet Oasis returns to the solarium on Allure of the Seas, hosted by Drishti Beats. There will be sound healing, meditation, yoga, live music vinyasa, a transformational dance party experience, a world house DJ dance party, glow in the dark spiritual house party, and more. Do yourself a favor and plan an hour or two of chill time at Whet Oasis in between sets each day and you will thank yourself. Once you’ve festivaled with this creature comfort, you’ll struggle to ever go without it. Elevators are more fun than useful, take the stairs in a hurry Allure of the Seas is a BIG ship, the 2nd largest ship class in the world. However, the GCFAM will now be bigger than ever in 2025. Do yourself a favor and explore the ship early on before the party takes hold so that you have a general understanding of how to navigate. With so much going on at all areas of the ship at all times, you should expect the elevators to be a madhouse most of the time. On most cruise ships you a few decks in the lower part of the ship with entertainment and food options, and then you have a few top decks with more venues. All the decks in between are cabins. This is a roundabout way of telling you that you will wait for elevators, they will be full, and they will stop at almost every deck on the way up (or down). Unless you’re traveling more than 5 decks, you’re probably better off taking the stairs. However, you’ll undoubtedly make a few friends in the elevators as everybody will chat you up, ask about your experience, ask you what set you’re headed to and hand out PLUR goodies. You will probably also take an elevator at least once where somebody is wearing a DJ controller and a speaker while mixing live as they walk from place to place on the ship. Yeah, it’s that kind of place. PLUR Still Exists Here Remember PLUR? Peace, love, unity, and respect was the EDM mantra when the golden era of EDM began in 2010. For a variety of reasons not worth getting into here, that pretty much went away. On Groove Cruise, PLUR is alive and well, and not just because many of the GCFAM were raving in (or before) the golden era of EDM. People will come onboard with special stickers or glowsticks or friendship bracelets or whatever and hand them out to people. People will chat you up and befriend you wherever you are. On three Groove Cruises so far, I’ve yet to have a negative interaction with anybody. Everybody is in the best mood they’ll be in all year and you’ll feel it. See a Sunrise On the Allure of the Seas, it’s sometimes easy to forget that you’re at sea. It’s a massive ship with some interior spaces that look like you’re on land. That being said, don’t pass up the opportunity to catch those gorgeous sea views. Make sure you’re out on deck during golden hour for some breathtaking views. Better yet, you’re on a cruise with DJ shows going all night, so stay up and catch a sunrise that is equally as gorgeous as the golden hour. You can be sure no other cruise will give you that opportunity unless you’re waking up early for a morning jog. Catch a sunrise set, go grab a plate of breakfast buffet, and come back to finish the set or get some sleep before the afternoon sessions begin. Get Prepared If you plan on drinking, get the drink package and get it now. It’s much nicer to grab a drink every single time you pass by a bar than worrying about how much you’re spending per drink. You’ll get your money’s worth, trust me. You can repurchase these through Whet Travel until tomorrow, then you have to purchase them on day 1 of the cruise. If one person in the cabin wants, everybody must purchase (annoying we know). If you want internet at all you need to purchase the relatively pricey package from the ship. The ship does have an app with some level of free messaging, but it is only through the RCCL app and it’s pretty wonky (not the best). Turn off roaming on your cell phone and maybe even disconnect your regular cell service unless it’s an emergency. Cell phone calls and texts will cost a fortune so just let it go for a few days. If you need to keep in touch with your people onboard try walkie-talkies if you don’t want to shell out for the internet packages. Lastly, Groove Cruise now has an app you can download for iPhone and Android so you can get the ship layout, schedule, and more all in the app. Pack your theme costumes, your sunscreen, your swimsuits, and your most positive vibes. Get ready for a life-changing experience! The post Groove Cruise 2025: Know Before You Go Guide appeared first on EDMTunes.

John Summit's annual takeover of The Caverns, the beloved subterranean concert venue in Tennessee, will not take place in 2025, he announced Wednesday. The event debuted in 2023 by virtue of a remarkable sold-out "cave rave" before expanding to a two-day affair in April of the following year. It's organized by the production team behind Summit's Experts Only imprint, which was recently named 2024's best record label in EDM.com's list of the year's top industry leaders. Summit's decision to postpone the "Caverns Weekender" aligns with his reveal as a headliner of the 2025 Bonnaroo festival, which is scheduled for June 12-15 in Manchester, roughly 80 miles north of the venue in Grundy County. "no caverns this year, was a tough decision but being a bonnaroo headliner is an amazing opportunity i can’t pass up and i need to give my full attention to delivering the best show possible there," Summit said in a post on X. The house music superstar did, however, add that that his Experts Only team is working on "finding a new location for EO destination this year." Summit's Everything Always bandmate, Dom Dolla, was also revealed as a Bonnaroo headliner this week. Other headliners include Justice, Glass Animals, Olivia Rodrigo, Hozier, Avril Lavigne and Tyler, The Creator. You can view the full lineup here.

Have you ever seen a photograph so striking, you could almost hear the world within it? What would it sound like? Krotos has now launched AI that generates custom audio based on an uploaded image, claiming it's the "world's first" tech of its kind. The company's Ambience Generator v2 allows users to upload a photo, including images like film stills, video screenshots or concept art. Then it uses AI to formulate a text prompt based on the image before generating custom audio to accompany it. Krotos claims its artificial intelligence is "non-generative" and does not train itself on user-uploaded files. "Our approach to AI is grounded in both innovation and ethical responsibility," a Krotos spokesperson told MusicTech. “When we say our AI engines are 'non-generative,' we mean they are not creating entirely new sounds from scratch. Instead, they are designed to assist sound designers by processing and enhancing existing high quality audio assets that have been recorded by professionals." "Our commitment to ethics is reflected in how we train our AI," the statement continues. "We exclusively use professionally recorded assets that we own or have full rights to… The goal is to empower users, not replace them." See how Krotos' Ambience Generator v2 works below.

Ibiza tourists could face very huge fines if local authorities spot them consuming alcoholic drinks while on the street past certain hours. According to an article from DJ Mag, the fines that the Ibiza tourists may face fines that can go up to £2,580 (€3,081/$3,173) if they consume alcohol on the streets of the popular San Antonio tourist area (one of the most-innovative nightclubs there to check out is ‘NOSPACE’, the hotspot that the music venue label Eden Ibiza recently opened last summer). These fines that the partygoers, clubbers, and ravers may face are a result of the recent laws that the Balearic Islands provincial government introduced back in May 2024. The laws state that there is a ban on on-street alcoholic drinking and selling of alcohol between 9:30 p.m. and 8 a.m. in top destinations such as the aforementioned San Antonio area and the Majorca hotspots of Playa de Palma and Magaluf. Ibiza tourists, as well as those visiting other Balearic Island hotspots, may face fines that can hit their wallets hard The Birmingham Mail reported that minor offenses to these regulations will provide the fines of €750–1,500 (£645–1,290/$772-1,544). Meanwhile, the more serious offenses of “anti-social behavior” (which can include such actions like fighting, vandalism, property destruction, etc.), the fines will be around €1,500–3,000 (£1,290–£2,580/$1,544-3,088). Getting back to the San Antonio area of Ibiza, these regulations do affect the party boats and yachts within one nautical mile of that area. However, the regulations do not affect bars, restaurants, or clubs. As of May 2024, the Balearic Islands provincial government will enforce these regulations until 2027. The provincial government’s main goal of these regulations is to not only curb down the “anti-social behavior” but also ease down on the “excessive tourism” that have affected these islands for the past decade. For any Ibiza tourists who want to look for more calm hotspots can check out Es Cana and Santa Eulària. If they want to go Majorca, the scenic environments of Pollensa, Sóller and Alcúdia are also beautiful locations to take in the views, sunshine, and blissful harmony in as well. But of course, anyone visiting these locations should still be mindful of not just the regulations, but also the local people and the businesses there too, just like if they were to visit any hotspots around the world.

The subject line of Barclay Crenshaw's latest newsletter featured just two words, short yet electrifying: "VonStroke returns." This bold declaration sent ripples of excitement through fans of the beloved house music producer, who spent the past year exploring his bass music alias. The official announcement that Claude VonStroke will tour in 2025 arrived last month, but the Dirtybird label boss has now dusted off a special treat from his archives to tide over his eager fanbase as they await his return. The surprise? VonStroke's "first ever DJ mix," which aired back in 2007 via BBC Radio 1 and is now available to download for the first time. The mix arrived just two years after his groundbreaking debut record, "Deep Throat." VonStroke described recording for BBC Radio 1 as "a right of passage for tastemakers who call themselves DJs."

Fred again.. also shared the full live performance of secret life (the ambient LP he recorded in collaboration with Brian Eno) at the LA Memorial Coliseum, which he performed to an audience of just 100 people three days before his landmark, sold-out show in June. If that wasn’t enough, he also dropped the full performances of ‘adore u’ w/ Obongjayar, and ‘Strong’ w/ Romy. You can watch the full secret life performance at the coliseum on YouTube here.

In recent years David Guetta has been finding a lot of chart success in an era where most electronic music artists have faded away from the mainstream. Guetta has always been incredibly good at adapting to the times to make music that finds its way to the top and draws in more new fans. Despite this success, in a recent interview with Fun Radio he expressed that he wants to take his style in a different direction to make “great music” again. The Frenchman has traversed multiple genres over the years, but now he’s looking to make the music that he wants to make as opposed to trying to follow any trends. He was fairly vague about the type of music he’s going to be making though he did mention ‘Titanium’ and ‘She Wolf’ as examples of tracks he’s made that he considers great so that could be a hint as to the direction he’s going. He also talked about working “with violin sections like I [Guetta] did at one time, recording orchestras” which would be an awesome element to see back in his productions. Ultimately, it’s looking like a very promising year for music from him with the possibility of hearing the classic Guetta returning along with hearing some new sounds from him. Whether it be a return to future rave, going back to early 2010s Guetta, or something entirely new it’s an incredibly exciting prospect to have him firing on all cylinders and feeling inspired going into this year.
