Goldenvoice and Splash House Curate New Palm Springs Festival, Desert Air
Goldenvoice has long dominated the Palm Springs music scene with events like Coachella, Stagecoach, and Splash House taking center stage. Adding to their repertoire of electronic music outings, the renowned event company has announced a new, two-day winter house and techno festival at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Aptly called Desert Air, the festival will take place December 10th and 11th, acting as a natural successor to the after-hours events held during Splash House weekends at the same locale. Being one of the more unique open-air spaces in Southern California, the museum offers attendees views of World War II aircraft and industrial hangars all under the arid desert skies. The inaugural affair will feature an array of underground electronic artists headlined by The Martinez Broth...
Sony US Latin President Alex Gallardo Is Leaning Into Data and Diversifying Deals
Gallardo has been doing that by trying new things, both musically and commercially. Encouraging artists like Rauw Alejandro (“Todo de Ti”), Farruko (“Pepas”) and Camilo (“Kesi”) to venture outside of reggaetón has paid off with the biggest hits of their respective careers. And building out Sony Latin’s business intelligence department — which parses data to help inform A&R, marketing and sales strategies — helped identify Rochy RD’s “Ella No Es Tuya” as it was gaining momentum on Dominican independent label Vulcano Music. The Sony Latin remix hit No. 30 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, and was an even bigger sensation in Spain and South America. With each step, Gallardo is keeping an eye on the future. “As a label, we need to reinvent,” he says. “Nowadays, artists can ...

“I’m still working on it. No pressure. We’re almost at the end,” he said. “When it’s ready, I’ll let you guys know.” In the meantime, lead single “Problema” just sailed past one billion streams, and he’s executive producing a documentary on reggaeton. “That’s where I see me growing – an executive producer of movies, documentaries,” he shared.

Billy Corgan Renews Publishing Deal With Warner Chappell
By the release of 1995’s Billboard 200-topping Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness — the group’s third and most successful album — The Smashing Pumpkins had cemented themselves as genre-defining hitmakers. In 2012, the now-classic double album — released on Virgin Records, as well as the previous two — officially reached RIAA diamond status after selling over 10 million copies. Since the peak of their success in the mid-1990s, the group has continued with a revolving door of members, held in orbit by Corgan’s steadfast leadership and vision. Aside from a five-year hiatus from 2000-2005, The Smashing Pumpkins continued to tour and record, releasing a slew of albums and EPs in the wake of Mellon Collie‘s release...
Johnny Depp Says Cancel Culture Is “So Far Out of Hand” That “No One Is Safe”
Johnny Depp is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has been credibly accused of spousal abuse, but if you think about it, isn’t he the real victim? That’s the gist of his latest press conference, in which he moaned that cancel culture is “so far out of hand now” that “no one is safe.” As Deadline reports, the embattled actor made these utterances ahead of the San Sebastian Film Festival, where he’ll be receiving the honorary Donostia Award. With the press attending, Depp also commented on his recent legal loss against The Sun, which had labelled him a “wife-beater.” Depp sued for libel, but a UK judge ruled that “the great majority” of his ex-wife Amber Heard’s assault accusations could be “proved to the civil standard,” — in other words, “wife-beater” is more or less accurate. Speak...
On A Beginner’s Mind, Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine Use Fiction as a Guide and a Salve
Sufjan Stevens is nothing if not prolific. The experimental artist has released a ton of albums over the past few years, each one a unique effort at navigating his emotional state and the state of the world at large. Almost one year ago to the date, Stevens released The Ascension, an expansion exploration into love, death, apocalypse and nationality. The Ascension was preceded by Aporia, a collaborative album with Stevens’s stepfather, Lowell Brams. Earlier this year, Stevens unleashed Convocations, a five-volume instrumental exploration of grief in the wake of the death of his biological father. We’ll do the math for you: A Beginner’s Mind marks Stevens’s fourth album in two years. This time, he’s collaborated with Californian Angelo De Augustine, who has an indie-folk style complementary...

Damon Albarn Shares New Solo Song “Royal Morning Blue”: Stream
In less than two months, Damon Albarn will release his sophomore solo album, The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows. Before its arrival on November 12th via Transgressive, the Blur/Gorillaz frontman and mullet sensation has shared yet another single today with “Royal Morning Blue.” Additionally, Albarn has also announced a limited edition CD of the forthcoming album, which will include a “hidden” 20-minute track called “Huldufólk.” Albarn wrote and recorded The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows while holed up in Iceland. From the window above his piano, the musician could see raindrops turn into snowflakes right before his eyes; “Royal Morning Blue” was inspired by this stunning sight. “In all the darkness that we have experienced, that was such a beaut...
Jason Sudeikis and Kim Kardashian Among Initial Hosts for SNL Season 47
Saturday Night Live will return for its 47th season starting October 2nd, and the initial four hosts include a beloved SNL alum, an Academy Award winner, a Wedding Crasher, and a… Kardashian. Owen Wilson has been parodied on SNL plenty of times, but the Wedding Crashers and Loki star will finally get his chance to host on October 2nd. He’ll be followed on October 9th by Kim Kardashian West, professional famous person and “goth girl” mom. Then on October 9th, Oscar winner Rami Malek will probably get a chance to show off some of his moves from Bohemian Rhapsody, and October 16th will see the Emmy’s most Outstanding Actor, Jason Sudeikis, returning to the set that made him a star. Sudeikis’ return will be especially sweet. He was a regular cast member from 2005 to 2013, a...
