Through its many sub-genres, electronic dance music is able to be deconstructed, whittled down, and molded into a signature dish all one’s own, with all the accoutrements necessary to start a movement. Such is the case with Amapiano, a South African style of EDM that is taking the music industry by storm. A unique fusion of deep house and jazz, Amapiano emerged in South Africa in 2012 and has steadily risen to become a bona fide juggernaut. Artists such as Moonchild Sane...

Take a Look Inside the Return of “Yoga on the Rocks” at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks Amphitheatre was one of countless concert venues to shutter due to the impact of COVID-19. As those venues continue to toil away in the painstaking process of navigating the convoluted phases of reopening, many, like Red Rocks, are thinking outside the box.

Indian Farmers are Using Dance Music to Fight Against Invading Locusts
Due to an unprecedented number of locust invasions on their farmlands, many Indian farmers are resorting to unorthodox means of fighting against the pesky insects, which are decimating their crops. According to a report published in Singapore-based news outlet The Straits Times, farmers are lighting firecrackers, clanging pots and pans, and even blasting electronic dance music in their efforts to ward off the locusts. The locust invasions are the worst that farmers have seen in the last 26 years and local officials have struggled mightily in their efforts to contain them. Swarms reportedly began to migrate from Pakistan and Iran back in April following the worst outbreak in decades in eastern Africa, which was precipitated by high rainfall and, in turn, favorable breeding weather.

In a recent feature published in Modern Farmer, Samp waxed poetic about the plight of bees in today’s ecosystem. “Bees can be relaxed and meditative, but they can also be very angry,” he said. “Obviously at the moment, they’re very angry with humans.” On a mission to combat the precarious state of the world’s insect population, Samp has devoted his life to the preservation of bees.
