While being lockdown in their houses, many DJs and producers are spending this difficult time to create new songs to amaze us, to help us to dettach from the crisis we are living and feel good vibes. Stay home, stay safe are their messages and they are right! Kygo is one of them.

The Norwegian DJ and producer has released today the first single titled “Like It Is” from his third album “Golden Hour”, which will be out soon.

“Like It Is” is the perfect compilation between Kygo’s unique tropical house style and Tyga’s and Zara Larsson’s voice.

Klaas delivers his own style and sound to Max M’s latest single ‘Never Wanna Leave’. The upbeat remix features a driving groovy bassline, atmospheric breakdowns, and an overall feel-good vibe with a soothing vocal.

The remix gives ‘Never Wanna Leave’ a new vibe, giving it the festival/club treatment. The arrangement of the remix is unique and different making the bassline the center of attention. Undoubtedly, this version of ‘Never Wanna Leave’ has the ability to rattle speakers.

Klaas’ addition still gives the angelic vocal its space, enabling it to shine through the well-rounded production.

Above & Beyond

As we try and stay positive regarding the terrifying COVID-19 outbreak, another individual near and dear to the EDM community has been diagnosed with the disease.

Paavo Siljamäki, a member of the legendary trance trio Above & Beyond shared that he has been tested positive for Coronavirus. In his statement, he shares that he has fought the disease for straight 11 days and thanks the healthcare professionals that are out there on the frontlines fighting the virus first hand.

Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m on day 11 of fighting the coronavirus here, I wonder if anybody else is ill at the moment and knows what it’s like.”

“I have such gratitude for the people who risk their lives to help us during difficult spots.”

“A big part of being ill is being afraid.”

Paavo has since speculated that he may have contracted the virus from a massage therapist in Bali two weeks prior. He later goes on to encourage those listening to be mindful of healthcare workers risking their own lives for the treatment of others. Siljamäki finished up by reminding fans to not be fearful, even in the face of uncertainty.

Claptone is playing his catchy tunes, groovy rhythms, and sunshine vibes on Tomorrowland’s One World Radio this week.

Painted as a mythical character shrouded in mystery, Claptone has undoubtedly become one of the biggest names in house music over the past few years whilst himself remaining in the shadows and keeping his identity hidden.

Defected Virtual Residency Continues, After Milions Tune In to Debut Online Event

DEFECTED IBIZA FESTIVAL
Defected Ibiza Festival 2020

Following the immense global success of Defected’s first-ever Virtual Festival, which was live-streamed across Twitter, YouTube and Facebook reaching over 10m people, the house music behemoth is preparing to continue the series with a 6-hour stream this Friday, 27th March.

Complying with the UK government’s lockdown restrictions, Defected are encouraging music fans to stay home to enjoy six world-class DJ’s streaming direct from their own homes and studios.

DJ sets will come from some of the international talent that helps make Defected a world-leader in dance music; Folamour, Karizma, Melé, Riva Starr and more to be announced later this week.

Last week positive reactions flooded in from around the world for the Virtual Festival, receiving support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 & Radio 2, BBC London News, Pitchfork, Forbes, Le Monde and many more global media outlets with a reach of over 250m. Over 1.5m people tuned in to the stream over the weekend, with many viewers calling for the Virtual Festival to become a regular event.

Due to the overwhelming demand Defected are committing to continuing the weekly broadcasts for as long as possible, while adhering to advice from health organizations. The stream will provide an essential soundtrack to the current lockdowns being enforced around the world, and a welcome uplift for those in isolation. Defected‘s ‘Our House. Your House. United. Together’s message accompanying this week’s event is clear, to encourage people to stay home and connect virtually through the power of music.

On the reaction to last week’s Virtual Festival, and why he’s so determined to keep bringing people together on the virtual dancefloor, Defected‘s founder and owner Simon Dunmore said:

“In normal times we connect people physically and online via social media. Last Friday we proved that there really is a global House Nation as people from all over the world met and partied together via apps and the Internet. There was nothing but positivity for 12 hours because, as the saying goes, people were “lost in music”.

The event reunited people, they realised they were not alone in isolation. Communities and friends met up via their screens, and they partied like it was 1999! We hope to continue for as long as we are needed. We need people indoors, safe. We’ll provide the music and good times, they just need to stay in and be a part of this huge global House Party. We also want to extend the concept by fundraising for the global COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.”

Taking it one step further in its bid to promote safety during these unprecedented times, Defected will be making a donation to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund from the World Health Organisation, and Friday’s stream will appear alongside a button for direct donations from viewers. Recently set up, the Fund is a secure way to contribute to the WHO-led effort responding to the pandemic.

On putting together a digital event that reaches millions, Defected CBO James Kirkham said:

“We need to own our role as a music business during this time, and bring the positivity. We need to be a beacon of light. We’ve worked closely with ubiquitous all-access platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, vital conduits enabling us to bring our brand to life onto millions of screens around the world. We’ll be connecting people again this Friday through great house music, creating the ultimate house parties. Connected. Together.”

Medusa Festival

Known for its magical stage designs, mesmeric lighting and next level pyrotechnic and visual shows, Valencia’s Medusa Festival is quickly becoming one of the world’s best electronic dance music festivals. 

Our team had the great pleasure to sit down with Medusa Festival‘s director Javier and we had a conversation about their incredible event, their team, what’s their plan for the future and many more.

Check out the full interview below!

What is a day in your life like? What efforts went into making the 2020 edition of Medusa Festival better than previous years?

Well, I wake up very early and I’m spending the whole day in team meetings, brainstorming and checking ideas about how to offer a better experience to our customers and for everyone set to attend the festival.

What’s the capacity of Medusa Festival this year – has this size increased much since the first edition of the festival?

We are aiming to have 350,000 visitors for that week. The event started with a humble idea and we had 14,000 visitors back in 2014. 2015 we saw 67,000, in 2016 there were 145,000, 2017 approximately 180,000, through to the most recent years of 2018 with 300,000 and finally, 2019 with 315,000 visitors. Huge numbers!

What are the biggest challenges right now, when working on a festival of this scale?

We always try to offer a better and bigger experience to our crowd each year. This year we are presenting a circus-themed party and we want to have them experiencing the most interactive and exciting time. This is more than just a music-experience and we can’t wait to share this!

Medusa Festival brings together a variety of electronic genres – who are you most looking forward to having perform this year?

I can’t wait to see the likes of Carl Cox and Martin Garrix performing, but i’m also excited with many other names to fill the stage

How many people are involved in the production of Medusa? It must be a huge team!

We have more than 600 people working in this edition. People cant imagine how hard is to keep a good communication with such a big team.

Valencia is an incredible city, what can party goers expect, not just from the festival, in the area?

Valencia is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe 100%. Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is a must. There are also many special places, restaurants, museums…

If you could describe the Medusa Festival in one sentence, what would it be?

A Dream.

Medusa Festival is scheduled to take place on 7th – 9th August 2020
