Zouk Group Shakes Up Sin City With Unmatched Roster of 2022 DJ Residencies
Zouk Group is gearing up for a momentous sophomore year in Sin City with an unmatched lineup of electronic dance music talent. Singapore’s Genting Group, parent company of Resorts World and Zouk Group, made a $5 billion splash in Las Vegas in the summer of 2021 while ushering in an unmissable slate of entertainment experiences.

Amid the seasonal debuts of their Ayu Dayclub and Zouk Nightclub experiences, the organization leaned on their international reputation amongst world-traveling artists and their teams as an industry leader in hospitality to co...
DJ Fresh Revives Beloved Early 2000’s Drum & Bass Imprint, Breakbeat Kaos
Breakbeat Kaos, one of the industry’s most beloved record labels for drum & bass music, has relaunched at the direction of DJ Fresh. In the early 2010s, Fresh achieved world recognition for hit tracks like “Gold Dust” and then—alongside Rita Ora—became the world’s first artist to top the U.K. charts with a drum & bass single, according to UKF.

They also released Hold Your Colour, the debut album from legendary drum & bass group Pendulum. Recommended Articles None...

Kid Rock Threatens to Cancel Concerts Where Vaccine Mandates Are Enforced
When Kid Rock first announced his “Bad Reputation Tour,” I jokingly referred to it as the “Superspreader Tour,” which sent the Bawitdaba stans into a tizzy, because god forbid one questions Mr. Colostomy Bag’s attention to health and safety.
