Skrillex Drops Numerous IDs In His Return to the Festival Stage at Second Sky
Despite being a last-minute addition to Porter Robinson‘s Second Sky festival lineup, Skrillex was seemingly well-prepared to deliver the comeback set fans have been waiting for. Skrillex stepped in to replace Fred again.. at this year’s edition after the latter regrettably had to cancel in order to meet some critical timelines for his recently-released album, Actual Life 3.

However, he eventually had to drop off of both lineups as he was working on music for his upcoming albums. Over the weekend, Skrillex didn’t hesitate to preview some of the fruits of his labor from those stu...

Firefly Music Festival Organizers Announce 2023 Cancellation
After celebrating its 10th anniversary last month, Firefly Music Festival will not return in 2023.

Apashe Takes Fans On a Full-Send Field Trip to the “Renaissance” Tour
Hello, class. Meet your substitute history teacher, Apashe. For one special night, Apashe transformed a rather ordinary Vancouver nightclub into his unique museum: part historical renaissance, part dystopian future. He is your docent, director and dominion to a dramatic destination. Apashe’s unique blend of classical and electronic music is rapidly becoming a favorite amongst festival-goers. His sold-out shows and crowd mastery are evidence that he is not only a special attraction, but also an artist worthy of the marquee. Innocent bystanders looking for an ordinary night out were likely confused by the red lightsaber-wielding DJ. That confusion doubled over by the sight of concertgoers waving their fingers to thrashing pianos and heart-pounding bass. But ticket-holders knew what the...

Burning Man Reveals 2023 Theme, Animalia
Following a successful return to the playa in 2022, the organizers of Burning Man are starting to prepare for next year’s edition by announcing its theme: Animalia. The theme was revealed in a blog post published in The Burning Man Journal by Stuart Mangrum, the director of Burning Man Project’s Philosophical Center. “This year’s Burning Man theme will celebrate the animal world and our place in it—animals real and imagined, mythic and remembered—and explore the curious mental constructs that allow us to believe that imagined animals are real, real animals are imagined, and that somehow, despite all evidence to the contrary, mankind is somehow not part of the animal kingdom,” Mangrum wrote. That may take a minute to digest, but it leaves room for in...
