FINNEAS on Making Music with a “Foundation of Unconditional Love Underneath Everything”: Exclusive
Give Grammy-winning producer and songwriter FINNEAS a call to ask him about a project, and he’ll offer his very best advice — but keep in mind, he ultimately wants creators to follow their own unique paths. “There’s not a right way or a wrong way to have a career in music,” he tells Consequence via Zoom. “You can be creative and you don’t have to worry about doing something wrong.” At just 23 years old, FINNEAS is proof of that exact sentiment: his non-traditional navigation through the world of music has already yielded him eight Grammy awards and made him one of the most sought-after producers and songwriters in the pop world. His hitmaking collaborations include work with Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, and James Blake. Now, in partnership with Fender, he’s taking calls on the Fender x FI...
Stone Pony? Bruce Springsteen’s Daughter Jessica Fails to Qualify for Individual Olympic Equestrian Final
Bruce Springsteen met his future wife and E Street Band member Patti Scialfa at the rock venue The Stone Pony. Perhaps it was an inauspicious start for their daughter Jessica, who nearly 40 years later failed to make the finals of the equestrian individual jumping event at the Tokyo Olympics. Jessica was selected for team USA last month, and her Olympic journey isn’t over yet– she’ll compete in team jumping this Friday, August 6th. As ESPN reports, her hopes for solo gold fell apart at the 11th jump of a 14-obstacle course, when her horse, Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, knocked down a railing. Her score was good enough to keep her on the bubble for another hour, until she was finally eliminated from the competition. “All in all, I’m thrilled with the round, and I’m excited for t...

Edgeless Warrior Candace Owens Trends Again On Twitter For Trolling Ways
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty One of the worst things about waking up and checking Twitter is to see something horrible trending. In this regard, Candace Owens takes center stage once again for some awful comments she’s made on the social media platform in the past couple of days. Yesterday (August 2), the edgeless espouser of disgusting right-wing commentary took to Twitter to give her fans a double dose of ugly rhetoric. Her first tweet that caused a backlash was directed against Megan Rapinoe and the U.S. Women’s National soccer team, who lost in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics semifinals to Canada. Owens targeted Rapinoe primarily for the player’s protest against police brutality and racial equality by taking a knee on the field. And in keeping with her reputation of b...
The OG ‘Transformers: The Movie’ To Return To Theaters This Fall
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Sunbow / Hasbro The new live-action Transformers films are fun and all, but we gotta be real and say they still don’t live up to the original animated film from 1986. Now 70’s and 80’s babies will be able to relive the classic film in all its glory as Hypebeast is reporting that the animated film will once again hit theaters this September in celebration of its 35th anniversary. Starring Peter Gullen as the voice of Optimus Prime and Judd Nelson (he was big in the 80s) as the voice of Hot Rod, Transformers: The Movie took a generation of children on an animated adventure in the theater that 20 minutes of TV just couldn’t do at the time. Aside from the countless action scenes and surprising death of a fan favorite hero (no spoilers), the film introduced us...

Watch Dillon Francis and Eptic Debut Wild Unreleased Collab at HARD Summer 2021
The EDM community is healing, and after over a year in quarantine it seems artists have more unreleased music to play out than ever. That brings us to last weekend, when more DJs appeared at HARD Summer than a free flight to Ibiza. Among them were Dillon Francis and Eptic, who seized the opportunity to perform at one of SoCal’s first major festivals back—and a triumphant one at that—to reveal a brand new collab. The two electronic music superstars teamed up back in August 2019 for a moombahton banger called “Let It Go,” but this time around they’ve opted to go the trap route. Fans were able to hear a clear fusion of both artists, as the track roars with the screeching synths of Eptic and the classic trap brass of Francis. And if their reaction is any indic...
Ibiza Officials Are Seeking Out Informants to Flag Illegal Parties for Law Enforcement: Report
Struggling to mitigate a recent surge in COVID-19 cases under control, authorities in Ibiza are turning to an unlikely group of people for assistance—tourists. Visitors to the island between ages 30 and 40 may be uniquely positioned to assist in the effort, provided they’re willing to party, of course. Law enforcement is currently in discussions to put together a task force of party-goers who will infiltrate illegal gatherings and parties from the inside and flag them for police to respond. Since law enforcement personnel are recognizable to locals, Ibiza officials are reportedly seeking support from outside its borders to help with the problem. As The Guardian notes, most of the island’s illegal gatherings take place within private residences, and being able t...
