Back on April 18th, 2020, David Guetta raised the bar of the music livestreaming industry with his ballyhooed “United At Home” livestream event for COVID-19 relief.

Such a momentous and unique breakthrough event does not happen without a concerted and robust plan of action, though, and Guetta’s team worked tirelessly to make it happen. In preparation for the event, Guetta teamed up with the Miami Downtown Development Authority and residential real estate broker Michael Wiesenfeld, an associate at Bricke...

Black Lives Matter
Danielle lent her platform to the voices that deserve to be heard. Please take a few minutes to listen to what they have to say by clicking here♡ “What I’ve learned more than anything recently, is that it’s not enough to be anti-racist. We have to be educated and informed, we have to be proactive and take action, we have to take a stand and be brave, we have to have uncomfortable conversations and we have to own up to how we’ve failed our Black friends, and then show up for them and become allies. The we starts with I, I need to and WILL do all of this too.

Confirmed: UCLA Students Can’t Get Enough of RL Grime’s “UCLA”
RL Grime‘s single “UCLA” is entrenched as the de facto anthem of The University of California, Los Angeles. “UCLA,” which appears on the trap kingpin’s seminal sophomore album Nova, effectively etched its name in university lore since its ballyhooed summer 2018 release. The track’s intoxicating, technically pristine production and velvety vocals courtesy of Atlanta rapper 24hrs reverberate through virtually every single tailgate, mixer, sporting event, and frat party on the university’s campus, sending harmonic ripples of camaraderie through everyone that hears it. The song’s intrinsically rapturous sound, which is rooted in future bass, lends to an uplifting and euphoric ethos, which is something college students desperately ...

Robyn Discusses Mental Health and Experiences In Therapy: “I Felt Super Vulnerable”
Earlier this month, Annie Mac announced the launch of a new podcast called “Changes With Annie Mac.” “It is all about change, and how change can affect you. How it can completely derail you, knock you for six,” she said. “Change the way you look at the world and yourself. How it can define you as a person.” One of Annie’s recent guests was none other than famed Swedish singer, DJ, and record producer Robyn, who appeared on the podcast to discuss her experiences in therapy and how certain situations are “drawing a map over your life.” The Grammy-nominated dance music treasure, who EDM fans may recognize as the artist behind the iconic disco single “Dancing on My Own,” said she was ...
Oh God, Post Malone Is Selling Rosé
Post Malone is the uncool suburban mom’s idea of hip-hop, and so it makes sense that he would release a name-brand rosé, which is — let’s be honest — the uncool suburban mom’s idea of wine. Fine, granted, that’s unfair to rosé, which doesn’t have to taste like a pile of sugar dumped into a bucket of food coloring. Perhaps Post Malone’s Maison No. 9 will be a dryer vintage — although, given his musical predilections for sugary-sweet hooks packaged with clever branding, perhaps not. Speaking of branding, the artist born Austin Post has created this wine with Global Brand Equities, the brainchild of nightclub-owner James Morrissey. Combined the two men have a lot more experience drinking wine than making it, and so they’ve brought on oenologist Alexis Cornu. The name Maison No. 9 means “...
