‘Maybe’

Gentle, caring, and divine. ‘Maybe’ mixes Coach Harrison’s joyful vocals with Adriatique and Engelhardt’s production skills. The lyrics are both romantic and melancholic. They yearn for a lover in a seductive and charming manner. With a warm atmosphere, the track evokes strong and positive emotions. These emotions will have your body moving from sunlight into moonlight.

Adriatique

One of the biggest Melodic House and Techno duos in the scene, the Swiss production and DJ duo Adriatique, have propelled their career to new heights. With their X events, they have toured all over the world and have gathered vital support. Support comes from the likes of Tale of Us, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Swedish House Mafia. In their near future, they will bring their X show to Dubai and Tulum. With their newest label X, they have provided a platform to more incredible artists. These artists wear the Adriatique symbol of approval well.

Coach Harrison

The songwriter, producer, singer, and mentor Coach Harrison has a decade of experience in tastemaking and vibe crafting. The artist has collaborations with DJ Daddy Trance, Vintage Culture, Malugi, Interplanetary Criminal, and more. He represents real emotions of the human subject, including deeper undertones and whimsical and silly feelings. Now, he is at the forefront of his career performing live with Adriatique. A bright star in a dark night.

‘Dangerous Feelings’

The track begins with a tribal and serene tempo, alongside a consistently beautiful melody. As the verse begins with the charismatic female vocals, the emotions heighten with a piano arrangement. ‘Dangerous Feelings’ is the result of a great sound combination between Adriatique and Astrø, in the hopes that we will see a follow-up collaboration after this one.

Adriatique

The Swiss duo is taking over the Summer with 38 performances all around the world. Their stops include festivals like Arc in Chicago, Mysteryland in the Netherlands, Sonus in Croatia, and Brunch! in Barcelona.

Astrø

The Lebanese producer has come a long way in the last 5 years. He joined the music scene at 20 years old, and, since then, he has defined the Beirut scene with his hypnotic and deep grooves. Now with an Adriatique collaboration under his belt, he has plenty more to show the world.

Skrillex Goes Independent

The artist explains that his inspiration is taking him on the right tracks for his artistry, and that means parting ways with the label

Moreover, the DJ explains how existential he feels about it, given the political game he feels the industry plays consistently, this confuses him. Even though he uses the term ‘independent”, he still gives due credit to his production team and other creators that will continue this journey with Skrillex into 2025.

The producer continued the thread trying to explain the dangers of the industry and he alludes to seeing many young artists in consistent panic. However, he bases his focus on keeping his objectives simple, in a way that he can continue to make music, which speaks to emotion and beauty.

Skrillex

Sonny had a huge comeback releasing his second and third albums consecutively in 2023, nine years after his debut release. Furthermore, he launched a massive campaign with creatives Fred Again.. and Four Tet. The trio took over Coachella, Times Square, and our hearts. In effect, the project awarded them a Grammy for their track ‘Rumble’, alongside Flowdan.

Skrillex still has one more project under Atlantic until he is able to have full control of his creative juice to deliver what he does best: A high quality auditory buffet.

Knife Party. You’ve heard of them. They broke the internet over ten years ago with their massive hit track ‘Internet Friends‘, and they continued to grace the world with pyro-worthy, festival-sized anthems for the years following. This includes ‘LRAD’, ‘Antidote’ — the renowned Swedish House Mafia collaboration —, ‘Bonfire’, and many more.

The duo, comprised of Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, two members of the Drum and Bass band Pendulum, has amassed a huge following over the years due to their electric and pointy sound, one that has become synonym with Electro House, Dubstep, UKF, and so many other concepts. And just like they broke the internet a decade ago, they might have the potential to do it yet again.

New Music On The Horizon

Earlier this week, Knife Party took to X/Twitter to share a single meme. Using a template that’s made headlines far and wide this Olimpic Games season, the boys posted the following picture, without any text caption:

Of course, the reactions started coming like a wave. Users from all over claiming this to be real, and to come fast, and to be an album… in the end, the greater picture is that Knife Party’s following is still alive, breathing, and so ready to hear what’s coming up on their alleyway. And we are too.

After iconic performances such as their Ultra Miami 2016 closing act at the Mainstage, which involved a Pendulum reunion and encores with guitarist Tom Morello and deadmau5, and Swire’s recent appearance at the Tomorrowland Mainstage for a live performance of his new track with Armin van Buuren, we can’t predict what exactly the guys at Knife Party have for us, but we expect it to blow us out of the water — as per usual.

A Bold Call-Out

Bebe Rexha’s posts were, frankly, explosive. She shows herself fed up, and claims to be keeping some obscure things to herself, which could impact the business as a whole. “I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry. I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED”, she wrote. Despite her extensive contributions and success, Rexha feels she’s been punished for speaking out.

“I’ve been so quiet for the longest time… And when I have spoken up I’ve been silenced and PUNISHED by this industry.”

-Bebe Rexha

The ‘Hey Mama’ Controversy

The singer’s grievances aren’t new. One fan mentioned the notorious 2015 ‘Hey Mama’ incident, where Rexha was initially excluded as a vocalist on the David Guetta track, despite her contributions. At the time, Bebe Rexha expressed her disappointment, explaining the complexities behind the decision to limit featured names. This exclusion was a bitter pill to swallow, given her journey in the industry. On Tuesday, she reflected on this, noting that it was just a small part of a much larger problem.

Struggles With ‘I’m the Drama’

Rexha’s latest single, ‘I’m the Drama’, released on June 28, has faced promotion challenges, she says. She claimed to have no budget for marketing the track, a surprising revelation considering her stature in the music world. “Marketing? I have no budget for that“, she stated bluntly. Despite releasing her third studio album, Bebe, in 2023, Rexha’s frustration and sadness were palpable.

The Silver Lining: Fans

Amidst her grievances, Rexha expressed gratitude to her fans. They have been her beacon of hope, providing the strength to persist. Meeting fans during her walks in London has reignited her passion, even in the face of industry adversity.

With a career featuring hits like ‘Meant To Be’, ‘Me, Myself & I’, and ‘I’m Good (Blue)’, Rexha’s journey has been both triumphant and tumultuous. As she continues to voice her struggles, her fans remain a testament to her enduring impact and resilience. In an industry often cloaked in glamour, Rexha’s raw honesty sheds light on the less visible battles artists endure. Her message is clear: the music industry must change, or she will reveal the full extent of her truths.

AI Poster

The now-deleted poster has some noticeable features that many fans disliked. Furthermore, ILLENIUM blames his management for having bad taste and choosing the AI version for the final poster, claiming that the team still worked with a paid designer.

Set-Up

In her post, Moudaber explains how after being called back to play her set as the weather cleared out, the DJ meant to close out the night (Richie Hawtin) refused to unplug his equipment so she could play. Thus, the stage stood silent for an hour until Richie Hawtin performed his set and closed out the night. There has been no public response from Movement officials nor Richie Hawtin’s team. We are not sure if it was a miscommunication or flat-out disrespect. Nevertheless, Nicole closed out the weekend celebrating 10 years of her In The Mood radio. With support from Devon James and Techno Titan Chris Liebing, Techno reigned supreme in the city of Detroit.

UPDATE

It appears Nicole is walking back her Tweet about this and taking a more measured response to what happened. See below.

Stay tuned for an exclusive interview we did with Moudaber. We sat down moments before she got on stage for her In The Mood 10-year anniversary set.
