Seeing Armin van Buuren entails a bright mix of progressive house and trance. But once in a while, major artists surprise us with stark deviations from their established sounds, like Dillon Francis trading his moombahton style for deep house or deadmau5 eschewing his signature electro flair in favor of obscure, pulsing techno under his TESTPILOT moniker. It’s rare to see an event dedicated to artists exploring their left-field tastes though—something Louis The Child hope to change with their latest event concept, “Alter-Ego,” a multi-stage takeover of the Brooklyn Mirage. “We wanted to create an event where artists ar...

Tomorrowland Unveils Intricate Mosaic Walkway: Look Inside the “Stairway to Unity”
Tomorrowland‘s unifying principles are being immortalized in tangible form with the advent of the festival’s latest art installation. Tomorrowland’s last in-person edition in 2019 drew over 400,000 dance music fans collectively hailing from over 200 nations around the world. They hope to continue fostering that sense of belonging with the “Stairway to Unity,” a 60-meter pathway composed of over five million mosaic tiles.

Duperron joined forces with fellow artist Michel Herrera Cuello a...
