SET Underground returns for 4 magical nights of history and tradition

www.tierradelosmuertos.com

After a sold out maiden event that saw 2,000 dancing souls surrounded by the vibrant colours and rich cultures of Oaxaca, SET Underground bring their seasoned production and curation team to one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico once more during its most important holiday of the year. Dia de los Muertos is rich in tradition, and SET Underground’s 4-day TIERRA DE LOS MUERTOS FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE adds a cutting edge musical element to the celebrations.

Dia de los Muertos is known for its colourful festivities where family and friends gather together to joyfully celebrate loved ones that have passed away. It is Mexico’s most famous celebration, and Oaxaca City is the epicentre of it all. This already big holiday gets a whole lot bigger with the addition of this festival.

SET Underground came onto the worldwide stage as one of the first organisers to creatively and safely host events after the pandemic as restrictions became a moving target. Chances are if you (or any of your friends) traveled to attend events in USA or Mexico during 2021, you probably attended a SET Underground event.

The Tierra de los Muertos Festival Experience will be headlined by the likes of house and tech stars from all over the world including Adam Ten, Damon Jee, Denis Horvat, Dramian, Frankey and Sandrino, Gab Rhome, Glowal, Jan Blomqvist, Kawas, Laolu, Mita Gami, Paulor, Rafael Cerato, Rebolledo, Sabo & Goldcap, Santiago Garcia, The Organism, Unders and Verlk.

Early planning is essential to attend DIA DE LOS MUERTOS. Flights and accommodations need to be booked ASAP because, although the event has secured partnerships with a few hotels, the success of the 2021 edition and with travel restrictions now being lifted, places will be hugely in demand and very limited.

Their performance at Amnesia is set to be Bicep’s first ever live performance on the White Isle

Amnesia Live shows are one of the most essential experiences of any trip to Ibiza. This year will be an historic one as Bicep play an exclusive one-off show on September 4th as part of the Pyramid season. It will be their first ever live show on the island and they are joined by Special Request, KiNK Live and Logic 1000. This is a strictly limited capacity ticketed event that will sell out well in advance so move fast or miss out.

It seems that everything Northern Irish duo Bicep do turns to gold. They are fresh off the back of a sold out and game changing live world tour that has seen them take their sounds to new levels. That came off the back of the huge last album Isles which found them mix up their famously euphoric and polished melodies with meticulous beats. Tracks like Atlas and Apricots helped the pair amass millions of streams and plenty of top chart positions, but in the live area they are truly in a class of their own.

There are many live shows in electronic music but none as epic and adventurous as Bicep’s. It sees the pair play on an array of music making machines, on the fly, tweaking their own classic tracks as well as offering plenty of new sounds that add up to a real emotional roller coaster. To hear it in the epic Amnesia., on such a grand scale and with all its world beating production will be out of this world.

Add in the thrilling Special Request who mixes up bass, jungle, rave and techno with relentless energy, Bulgarian live wizard KiNK’s techno sounds and a set from Logic 1000 and you have one of this summer’s most standout events.

The second remix of this Avicii classic is ready to drop as part of the 30 Years of Vicious celebrations with Toolroom Records head honcho Mark Knight on remix duty.

A unique pairing of Mark Knight remixing Avicii & Sebastien Drums is due 15th July on Australia’s leading electronic label Vicious Recordings. This was originally Avicii’s first #1 on Beatport and is already hallmarked as an essential summer anthem with Mark’s latest interpretation. The hit song was Tim Bergling’s biggest release with Vicious alongside another 10 singles that were signed to the label who first discovered the talented producer.

Following on from the Don Diablo Remix that achieved #1 on Beatports Mainstage Chart and accrued over 1 million streams in its first week of release, now hitting 5.2+ Million streams it leans into Mark Knight’s latest remix to further ignite clubland.

This ongoing success of this song, further proves the legacy and impact that Avicii holds in today’s industry. With this iconic song engaging a new audience, Mark Knight further adds his own footprint with great effect. Mark’s signature house music sound has remained a staple of Beatport and Traxsource charts. Recognised as one of the world’s most well known DJs and producers, Mark adds his own unique flavour to the almighty Avicii & Sebastien Drums hit.

A powerful and funk fuelled house vibe is the recipe for this mix, with original hooks blended seamlessly with Mark’s own trademark groove. The full vocal (attributed to the Gwen McCrae classic) teases with an energy that will lift any crowd. Adding a well timed Pete Tong sample that pays homage to Avicii’s long standing legacy Mark adds a sustained emotion to the track. Mark’s remix works on a myriad of levels and is already gaining favour with the world’s top DJ’s. This incredible new version is destined to fire up dancefloors across the world and respectfully give justice to the original club anthem created by one of the worlds most prominent electronic music superstars.

Brazilian underground mainstay Victor Ruiz is back on Drumcode for the first time in two years with his new Beirut EP. Victor will be celebrating the release of the EP by showcasing his all new live set during an exclusive stream with Beatport directly from Beirut on 14th July.

This much anticipated new live-stream will be the first time ever Victor’s live show will have been streamed online. It will feature all the tracks from this new Beirut EP alongside all new and on-the-fly versions of tracks from his enviable back catalogue. During the stream, exclusive Victor Ruiz x Drumcode x Customized Culture merchandise will be released and will be available for 72 hours only, with 20% of the sales donated to a charity in Beirut. Drumcode have never done a merchandise collaboration with any other artist before so this is a world first and real honour for Victor.

The EP is his first on the label in nearly two years following ‘Freedom’ and the collaborative ‘Consciousness’ with Pig&Dan, plus a standout single ‘Love Story’ on A-Sides Vol.10, which made him the imprint’s most prolific contributor in 2020. Since then, highlights for Victor include playing a Drumcode takeover at Warehouse Project, collaborating with Hannes Bieger on his acclaimed ‘Balance Presents’ album, and lining-up for the epic TimeWarp festival in Brazil.

His four-tracker ‘Beirut’ signalises another pivotal step forward for the São Paulo-born artist. Ruiz has always operated at the more emotive end of the techno spectrum and this opus exemplifies his ability to craft dramatic tension and beauty in equal doses. The title track is dedicated to one of his favourite cities. “’Beirut’ is a very emotional song and at the same time, very powerful. Just like the city. I wanted to make a track that would be beautiful and a kicker at the same time,” he says of the sublime nine-minute anthem-in-the-making.

‘Confession’ shows another side of his production palette; eerie and intense, it’s led by a searing synth lead and smoky vox. ‘Jurema’ takes inspiration from the famous Brazilian spiritual tree and features vocals in Portuguese talking about mysticism, all the while crafting a belter with organic drums and sounds of nature to transmit the feeling of being in the jungle. The EP rounds out with ‘Omen’, a peak-time piston with a huge melodic lead designed for big festival moments.

This is another big step up for the ever essential Victor Ruiz.
