A 12-Year-Old DJ Hosted a Rave in His School’s Bathroom During Lunch Break
If you want to be a good DJ, you’ve got to start from scratch. Despite that horrible pun, please continue on to read about a 12-year-old Manchester boy who DJed at his own rave held in his school’s bathroom. Instead of throwing down potato chips and a sammie during his lunch break, Cael Bell threw down electronic bangers in his school’s toilets. According to a report by The Mirror, the diminutive DJ’s set lasted for 30 minutes, at which point his teachers at St. Antony’s Roman Catholic School raided the party and confiscated his equipment. What a buzzkill. The boy’s mother, Louise Bell, took the incident in stride. “I had to laugh. It has been a terrible year and I couldn’t be angry with my son for trying to spread some cheer,&...
Zedd Curates Exclusive DJ Mix of Apple Music’s Biggest Songs of 2020
There is perhaps no EDM artist more ideal than Zedd, one of the genre’s true hit-makers, to curate a list of Apple Music‘s biggest songs of 2020. Zedd has teamed up with the streaming giant for an exclusive DJ mix that covers not only the most popular songs in dance music from this year, but also the contemporary music scene at large. There is something for everyone here, as Zedd has chosen tracks that aren’t rooted in EDM, such as Machine Gun Kelly and blackbear‘s “my ex’s best friend,” Lil Baby‘s “Woah,” and Justin Bieber and Chance The Rapper‘s chart-topping single “Holy.”. However, dance music is of course well-represented with selections such as “Breaking Me” by Topic and...

Iggy Pop Creates COVID-19 Anthem ‘Dirty Little Virus’
Iggy Pop is feeling inspired by the travesty of 2020, and it’s resulted in the new single, “Dirty Little Virus.” If you ever wanted to hear a punk/rock icon stoically singing “COVID-19,” now you can. There are a bunch of… interesting one-liners, including the opening lyric: “COVID-19 is on the scene.” It’s all very detached and matter-of-fact. “I was moved to write a direct lyric, not something too emotional or deep,” Pop said in a video, “more like journalism: ‘who, what, when where?’ I left out the ‘why’ because that gets too complex, but I put in how I felt about it.” Another odd point-blank lyric: “She’s only 19 but she can kill ya.” He’s not wrong. Playing guitar and bass on the cut is Ari Teitel, while the tune’s co-writer Leron Thomas is credited with “editing, trumpet wor...
Peter Jackson Releases Initial Footage From Upcoming The Beatles: Get Back Documentary
The Lord Of The Rings filmmaker Peter Jackson has revealed footage of his much-anticipated documentary The Beatles: Get Back, which is slated for an Aug. 27, 2021 release. Jackson says he’s “halfway through editing” in New Zealand, going through “56 hours of never-before-seen Beatles footage.” He emphasizes that this is “not a trailer, it’s not a secret, it’s like a montage of moments that we’ve pulled to give you a sense of the spirit.” And that spirit, from the 1969 Let It Be sessions, is jolly and loose. Scenes show several false starts in the studio while recording “Get Back,” with Yoko Ono sitting in front of John Lennon. All the members, Paul McCartney — in his full beard era — George Harrison and Ringo Starr, are shown goofing around. Linda McCartney is also in control room sce...
