EventsFrame launches new NFT Ticketing platform for the masses

by


EventsFrame has reinvented itself and now unveils their blockchain-based NFT ticketing solution


As it embraces this new world and taps into the untold potential of the latest technology, EventsFrame’s offering is set to become the mainstream standard for NFT ticketing. 
The event industry is on the brink of big change as new blockchain technology is set to cause a paradigm shift and create new sources of revenue for organisers. With this move, EventsFrame is right at the forefront of the revolution.
The exciting start up was well established as a ticketing platform having worked with clients such as TikTok, UN, TEDx events and AppEvents but during the pandemic the platform decided to reinvent its traditional ticketing model. It is now focussed on opening up new opportunities to significantly improve event goers’ experience and improve monetisation options for event organisers and sponsors. 
NFTs and blockchain technology has so far been out of reach of the mainstream masses but EventsFrame changes all that by making it accessible to and useable by all: NFT tickets can serve as collectibles as well as secure tickets, and EventsFrame will also focus on digital merchandise which brings an almost infinite number of options for event monetisation.

Pavel Helstyn, head of business development at EventsFrame, believes there are massive opportunities in this sector. He explains, “Imagine your typical Championship game or your favourite show where visitors will buy physical goods such as scarfs, mugs, magnets. I just visited Back to the Future last week where I bought some of those goodies. In the future, visitors will buy this in the digital format as NFTs to showcase on social media and in their virtual as well physical world. Personal virtual “trophy rooms” will represent where you’ve been and most importantly your treasured memories. We launched our first version of NFT ticketing last week and we’re working hard to bring value and utility to this area which is typically still very hard to understand to the uncommitted. Our biggest mission is to popularise this concept with the industry.” 
The benefits of NFT tickets include the ability for event organisers to control the secondary market and collect royalties from future resales as well as the ability to embed content from video highlights to 3D Logos, live recordings to photographs and so much more, all inside a secure NFT. 
EventsFrame has four years in the industry under it and provides the tools for all this using next generation blockchain technology with a vast ecosystem of solutions. It’s now looking to capitalise on this new emerging market especially in the sports and music world and has recently received funding to help it disrupt the industry.

German pair GHEIST showcase their love of Disclosure classic ‘You & Me’ (Flume Remix) with a fresh new rework that adds their own magical style. This tune has been a huge hit already over summer with both fans and DJs like Adriatique going wild for it, so now it is presented as a giveaway to everyone as a free edit.

This duo is in a fine run of form right now after their Zukunft album on their own Radau Music last year, then a high profile video which touched on the subject of mental health. Now, this edit was a chance for GHEIST to show a different side and offer up a fun, unique tune that gets everyone together.

Says GHEIST, “Originally, we were working on this rework to create a special moment for our shows. As we were jamming in the studio one late night, we got so hooked on this song, but we would have never expected the feedback we were given. It makes us very happy to finally share our rework of this already amazing song with you, and hope for many more inspiring moments between You and Us.”

Disclosure – You & Me (Flume Remix) [GHEIST Rework] is a steamy six minute house cut with warm drums and a sensuous vocal build laced with rich chords. Eventually it drops and carries you away with wispy pads, well treated vocals and spine tingling depths.

This is another superb offering from this essential pair.

Joseph Capriati is to become a resident on the legendary BBC1 Radio throughout November. Across 4 shows, the Italian will dig deep into his influences and inspirations and serve up music from his past, present and future to fans around the world.

Over the last decade-plus, Joseph Capriati has been on a constant mission to push forward as an artist. The Neapolitain’s sound is rooted in techno but is now also about so much more, as his wide-ranging debut album Metamorfosi on his own Redimension label proved. He has played major clubs and festivals all over the world from DC10 to Tomorrowland and proved his skills as a DJ with his seminal entry into the famous Fabric mix series.

This summer he hosted his own exclusive parties at Amnesia in Ibiza and again showcased that his influences range far and wide through many forms of house and techno. He has now made a lasting mark on the global dance music underground as he always builds on the past to take his sound, his sets, and his fans into the unknown.

This new residency shows that Joseph is a global tastemaker and will allow him to share some of the music he loves the most with the world.

FAMILY PIKNIK GETS READY FOR ITS BIGGEST CLOSING PARTY EVER WITH PAUL KALKBRENNER & AGENTS OF TIME HEADLINING

by

https://ra.co/events/1524318

After an epic summer season, with events taking place 3 weeks in a row from July 31s to August 14th, Family Piknik has stepped up once again as the biggest underground French festival. Bringing up on stage headliners like Charlotte de Witte, Fisher, Richie Hawtin, Whomadewho, Maceo Plex, Danny Tenaglia, Nora en Pure, Kölsch, Joris Voorn and many other top international House & Techno artists, Family Piknik already welcomed more than 20000 party-people over the summer.

The challenge was not easy, though, after Montpellier city hall decided earlier this year to break the convention it had with the festival, brutally ending up with a 10 years partnership and leading Tom Pooks and his team to find new locations to host his 2022 events. Lunel arenas & Frontignan open-air park, both located 20 minutes away from Montpellier, south of France, appeared to be great spots after being totally reshaped by the Family Piknik crew. Some natural grass was set up on the dusted arenas ground to maximise confort, a super pumped flamingo dominated the main stage, crazy performers and secondary « secret » stages created a great atmosphere and experience for all these festival attendees coming from more than 30 countries.

>> Family Piknik 2022 – Weekend 2 aftermovie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KHiaO67H1Y

Now that the summer marathon is over, the Family Piknik team focus on the building of its huge Closing party taking place on October 1st. It will take place in Béziers Arenas, the biggest arenas of southern France, with a 12000 overall capacity. After 2021’s great Closing with Boris Brejcha, Family Piknik will have the most renown Techno artist in action, Paul Kalkbrenner. « We’ve been waiting for 3 years before being able to confirm Paul and we are sure we’ll offer him a good experience » comments Family Piknik’s founder Tom Pooks. « It’s always a thrilling moment for us to close a whole season, especially as it’s been the most stressful and intense we’ve ever known in our history, with 3 restless weeks of hard work for our crew on the ground… I’m sure this closing party will be very emotional for all of us. »

For the first time, Berlin super-hero will get to perform for Family Piknik. He was the last big headliner missing on the Family Piknik hall of fame through these 10 past years. He will play a 2 hours live set for what will be the most epic closing session you could dream of. Before this legacy, the Afterlife stamped duo Agents of Time will also share their Live skills with the crowd, while Simina Grigoriu, Tom Pooks b2b Joy Kitikonti and Family Piknik Music talents Abstraal & Pontias will warm thousands of people in the afternoon.
