Louis The Child and Whethan are Facing Off in a Beat Battle Tomorrow
Seemingly out of nowhere, Louis The Child took to Twitter yesterday to formally challenge fellow young gun Whethan to an Instagram Live beat battle. Longtime friends and frequent collaborators, Louis The Child and Whethan are both on the verge of releasing full-length albums. Louis The Child recently announced their debut record Here For Now along with the project’s tracklist and release date and Whethan has been teasing his FANTASY LP for weeks. He recently chatted with EDM.com about the highly anticipated album, which he likened to “getting in a spaceship and leaving Earth off this electronic rainbow.” Considering all the hype surrounding these two, tomorrow’s beat battle should be a doozy. To make it even more salivating for fans, Louis The Chi...

Look Inside This Illegal Rave Broken Up by Police at a UK Nature Reserve
Things across the pond are getting dicey in the rave community as large group recently held an unauthorized rave at Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve in Leeds, West Yorkshire, which was shut down by police. The illegal festivities took place over the Bank Holiday weekend (May 23rd to 25th), with images surfacing of partygoers ranging from late teens to early ’20s deliberately ignoring the social distancing measures instated amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Posting on Facebook, a Kirkstall Valley environmental advocacy group admonished the event. Local police said people were wading their way across a section of the river to gain access to the reserve, sparking concerns for their safety. Since the reserve is a nesting ground for several species of birds, t...
Listen to Unearthed Avicii Set from 2011, Broadcasted During SirusXM’s Virtual DisDance Festival
As time continues to pass, the memory of Avicii will never fade into darkness. The late dance music legend passed over two years ago, but to this day his music continues to inspire.

Curse of the Crystal Coconut – ALESTORM
RATING: 8/10 ALESTORM‘s lyrical focus on pirates, battles at sea, lusty and busty sea wenches, and general drunken revelry theoretically should not have the endurance that it has shown to have. When the Scottish party-metallers burst onto the scene with 2008’s “Captain Morgan’s Revenge”, the insertion of those themes into songs powered by sing-along choruses, power metal glory, and cheesy ’80s keyboards made for one of the most infectious records of the era. One could not imagine that over a decade later, the group would keep finding new ways to spin their musical tales of nautical conquest. The group does not step too far outside of their comfort zone on their latest record, “Curse of the Crystal Coconut”. The record is simply another indica...

Rammstein fans in North America will have to wait until next year to see the German band’s electrifying stage show. The industrial metal act has just postponed the late-summer outing until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The North American run was set to be the first time that Rammstein brought their full-scale stadium production to the continent. As the band stated in the initial tour press release, “Rock ‘n’ roll’s most ambitious pyro-theatrical experience will be on display for a series of 10 open-air dates.” Now, that will have to wait until 2021, with rescheduled dates yet to be announced.

Martin Scorsese Made a New Short Film in Isolation
Hollywood may be largely shut down, but director Martin Scorsese still found a way to make a new short film. Via The Hollywood Reporter, the acclaimed filmmaker’s film about life in isolation will air on the BBC tomorrow, May 28th, as the finale of the series Lockdown Culture with Mary Beard. Shot by Scorsese himself, the short reportedly involves a kind of dialogue with the past. Scorsese interprets the lockdown through beloved films like Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man, testing us to look at the classic works and our current situation through a new lens. Talking about his experience in isolation, the Hollywood icon said, “What I look forward to in the future is carrying with me what I have been forced to learn in these circumstances. It is the essential. The people you love. Being able t...
