Flume Drops Two Mind-Bending Singles From Forthcoming Third Album, “Palaces”: Listen
The rollout of Flume‘s Palaces continues to unravel with kaleidoscopic quality. Two new singles from Flume’s first full-length project since 2019’s Hi This Is Flume mixtape have hit streaming services, including the album’s titular track featuring Damon Albarn. A lingering piano solo coupled with crescendoing soundscapes unfurls to introduce a melancholic vocal from Albarn, who appears roughly midway through “Palaces.” The Gorillaz frontman’s words resonate with a psychedelic, choral-like effect as Flume blasts into a big instrumental finish with lively drums and bursting synth chords. Flume doesn’t skimp on bringing equally vibrant synth work to “ESCAPE,” a collaboration alongside ascendant bass music produc...

22 Photos That Encapsulate the Mind-Blowing Live Production of Ultra 2022
There aren’t many festivals—if any—who do it quite like Ultra. The resplendent Ultra Music Festival is embedded in the mythos of Miami. And even though its annual hubbub has often been bemoaned by the city’s populace, one thing is certain: the festival is vital to Miami’s culture. Considering Ultra’s reputation as a bellwether for the festival landscape and its impact on Miami’s economy, the event’s organizers annually ensnare—and then enrapture—the international dance music hive mind. But despite the event’s staggering lineups, its production is a crucial part of why it is perennially considered one of the nation’s elite music festivals. Just ask Hardwell, who torpedoed a four-year hiatus to return to Ultra’s historic Mainstage at...
