MK Unveils Flappy Bird-Style Web Game Based on New Song “Chemical”
MK‘s recent dance-pop single “Chemical” is the focal point of a new online game, Chemical Chase. The song’s bubbly harmonies found an unlikely mouthpiece in the official music video, which features a rugged, anthropomorphic Boxer singing along to every word and ear-flapping to the beat. The surreal face of the track has now made his reprise in Chemical Chase, a game in which players must strive to navigate the dog through a neon-washed cityscape. The game play is extremely similar to Flappy Bird, which many will recall was a game that suddenly vanished from the App Store and Google Play store near the height of its release in 2014. At the time, the game’s creator Dong Nguyen said he felt uneasy with his observations as to how addictive the game had become...

Study: EDM Fans Believe You Must Know at Least 12 Songs By an Artist Before Wearing Their Shirt
Do you still rock your favorite band t-shirt? Despite the moth-eaten cloth and beer stains, you know you do. And a new study conducted by RushOrderTees has confirmed it. The apparel company surveyed over 1,000 people to find out which music fans have the largest band shirt collections and the average value of those stockpiles, among other observations. What they found out wasn’t shocking: EDM fans love their merch. While the average music fan owns 11 band shirts, electronic music fans tied for the second-largest band shirt collection among all genres at a clip of 16 shirts. They also spent the least, forking over an average of $322 compared to fans of punk music, who led the pack at $597. That’s over $100 more than the next highest, fans of heavy metal. EDM fans spent an a...
New Film Captures Remote African Tribe’s Introduction to Electronic Music: Watch the Trailer
Do you ever wish you could go back and experience hearing dance music for the first time? The organizers of a thought experiment called The Ive Experience hoped they could instill a similar feeling of joy in a population that had never been exposed to the genre before. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the team behind the initiative had to travel to one of the most remote locations in the world to conduct and film the experiment, according to one organizer who shared a statement with EDM.com. The Himba tribe, a nomadic group hailing from Namibia in southwest Africa, haven’t even owned a radio let alone been exposed to electronic music. Nonetheless, many members of the tribe—believed to be around 50,000 strong—have a penchant for dancing. The tribe even has its own dance for everyday ...

Brazilian potential presidential candidate announces he is gay
Brazilian governor and potential major party presidential candidate Eduardo Leite, a prominent critic of President Jair Bolsonaro, came out as gay in a TV interview. Leite, governor of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, would be the first openly gay presidential candidate in Brazil. Anti-gay rhetoric has been a staple of speeches by Bolsonaro, who once declared that if he had a gay son, he would rather the child died in an accident. “I have never spoken about a subject related to my private life,” Leite told Brazilian journalist Pedro Bial in a TV interview on Thursday evening. “But during this moment of low integrity in Brazil, I have nothing to hide, I am gay. I am a governor who is gay, not a gay governor, as former President Obama in the US was a president who was Black, not a Bl...
