Following the cosmic implosion of Kaos, Kaskade has been mired in a lawsuit to receive the remainder of his contract.

Organizers went on to announce a staggering list of residencies that seemed too good to be true, signing on Skrillex, Marshmello, Eric Prydz, deadmau5, and Armin van Buuren, among other artists of EDM’s corps d’elite. They also confirmed Cardi B, Travis Scott, and Latin superstars J Balvin, Bad Bunny and Ozuna. However, just as ostentatiously as it opened, Kaos closed in public fashion a mere seven months later in November. Following the news of the club’s cosmic implosion, one of its high-p...

Strictly Discs in Wisconsin, in a Pandemic: ‘We’re Only About 10% Down for the Year’
In October 1988, Angie Roloff and her husband Ron opened Strictly Discs in Madison, Wisconsin, after Ron left a career in the biomedical research field to pursue his love of music full time. Nearly 31 years later, the couple made the difficult decision to shutter in-store operations due to COVID-19, roughly a week before Governor Tony Evers forced a mandatory shutdown of all non-essential businesses. Now that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has overturned Evers’ stay-at-home order — ruling it “unlawful” and “unenforceable” — the Roloffs and their employees have reopened Strictly Discs in a limited capacity. As part of Billboard’s efforts to best cover the coronavirus pandemic and its impacts on the music industry, we will be speaking with Roloff regula...
