It’s a beautiful rural location with towering pine trees, secluded woodland areas and surrounded by the classical English countryside. The location has an enchanting feel that makes this a unique getaway curated by music lovers, for music lovers.

The One Promotions are a group of friends who have worked together for many years in both Liverpool and Manchester with a dream of bringing both cities together for one big party that melts the very best of techno and drum & bass. With deep roots in either scene going back to the early noughties, the team has some serious know-how and so this year there will be three stages covering all aspects of techno, bass and drum and bass in real style. 

They are YOUTOPIA, PANDORA and FRONTIER with a huge list of icons old and new playing including DaxJ, Matrix & Futurebound, Loxy, Perc, Drumsound Bassline Smith, Fatima Hajji, DJ Hazard, Dillinja, Randall, Ragga Twins, Miss Trouble and many more to come. 

In its spectacular debut year, The One In The Woods blew all expectations out of the water with three different stages all carefully curated, as well as a wealth of pop up merchants and delicious local food offerings including vegan options. The young, energetic crowd lapped up the whole experience and in 2022 it will be bigger and better, with more than 80 acts playing in all four different bar areas, a food area and a big array of pop ups as well as special after-parties and discounted hotel partners in Liverpool available.

Says The One in the Woods Director, “The core value behind ‘THE ONE’ is to create entirely inclusive events, open to all walks of life to enjoy their love of music in safe, unique and otherworldly settings. After a successful first year, we are a team that is extremely proud of our heritage with a strong vision to grow the community we have formed by collaborating and growing with; local artists, vendors and businesses alike. The feedback we received this year has been overwhelming and we want to thank everyone in the industry for their continued support. Bring on Episode 2.”

There is no rest for the best and so it proved for Family Piknik this year. This famous techno brand did not let anything get in its way and managed to host some seriously good events over the summer months. There were five in all with famous techno DJs like Artbat, Sven Väth, Monolink, Mind Against, Adam Beyer and Reiner Zonneveld and many more all laying down killer sets for the 20000 people who attended. Add in the open air main festival itself in Montpellier and 2021 was magic despite the pandemic troubles. 

More recently, the team also pulled it out of the bag with a monster event for 6000 dancers at the revered Beziers Arenas. It was transformed into a party paradise with 12 meter high flames and a spectacular light show as well s some fine tech house from German master Boris Brejcha. Next to him, French techno titan Space 92 took us on a real trip and Ann Clue, Ki Yera, and firm favourites Tom Pooks & Joy Kitikonti also joined in.

There is plenty to look forward to next year as Family Piknik are pleased to announce a brand new weekly residency in Montpellier each Sunday from July 3rd to August 26th. As well as the of course the famous festival returns to the city across the weekend of 6 & 7th of August with the first wave of names due before 2021 is done. Keep your eyes peeled!

Greece’s #1 dj and producer Echonomist teams up with renowned producer Jenia Tarsol for their debut on Afterlife.

Renowned for his indie-electronic explorations, Echonomist has risen to prominence in recent years, establishing an untarnished reputation within the electronic music community. His sound is derived from a broad palette of tones, timbres and influences; from drum’n’bass to rock and jazz. Jenia Tarsol has appeared on a long list of influential labels, collaborating with some of the greats of our scene. His soulful productions invoke a spiritual depth, and his exquisite touch exemplifies the human experience with each new release. 

‘Panic Attack’ opens the release with an oscillating bassline and a rousing main riff. A disorientating vocal sample leads us into the main body of the track, which undergoes several phases of evolution. ‘Do You See It Yet’ channels new wave into the 21st Century, this is pure analogue synthesiser love from Echonomist and Jenia. Driving energy and hypnotic synth lines take this one to its natural conclusion. 

Finally, Echonomist closes the EP with a solo cut entitled ‘Purple Skyline’. The atmosphere treads a delicate line between melancholy and optimism, gently building up to an outburst of rhythm, percussion and invigorating melody in its second half.

House music discovery platform & event producers Gray Area are to host an exclusive, one-off eight-hour take over of Diplo’s Revolution radio show on Sirius XM on Saturday October 23rd.

This new radio show is set to be another superb showcase of different strains of dance music showcasing established and upcoming artists alike. Alongside influential producer, uniquely colourful character, and global dance icon Diplo, there is long time underground king Luciano, one of minimal techno’s biggest champions. Joining them is new school house talent Blackchild who has huge releases on labels like Hot Creations, plus Brazilian superstar and Billboard Top Charting artist Vintage Culture who regularly headlines the world’s best clubs and festivals. 

On top of that Gray Area welcomes Tini Gessler whose famously deep and pumping tech house has appeared on lauded labels like Cr2 Records, Kaluki Musik, and Rawthentic, the instantly recognizable tastemaker and adventurous Will Clarke, West African born One Tribe NYC founder AMÉMÉ who brings new energy to his sets and productions, and Chelina Manuhutu, who’s chunky tech-house is full of stuttering percussion, brilliantly funky basslines, and the bubbling effervescence of a summer-time pool party.

“Sirius XM plays an integral role in building the house music community in North America – which happens to also be Gray Area’s mission – by programming this genre of dance music on Diplo’s Revolution. We are very proud to collaborate on Ocho, a program featuring 8 hours of non-stop exclusive sets representing different sub-genres of house music played by both rising and established international artists, and look forward to other collaborative projects with our friends at Sirius XM to spread the love of house music across North America. Let there be MORE house!” says Michael Julian, founder of Seers – the dynamic venture behind Gray Area and other projects in the world of electronic music and live events.

Three-day music conference aims to accelerate the music industry in the region and beyond. 

Tickets available to purchase from https://xptickets.mdlbeast.com/

Music professionals and fans from across the region can purchase their tickets for MDLBEAST’s music conference, XP. The three-day event with a conference & nightlife aspect will take place in Riyadh from 13th – 15th December and is set to become the most forward-thinking gathering of music leaders in the region.

Tickets for the ‘Day Xperience’, which includes access to the conference for all three days, are available for 1,950 SAR and increase to 3,450 SAR for the ‘Full Xperience’ ticket, offering three-day conference access plus entry to the evening parties and events. A ‘Lite Xperience’ ticket is available for 150 SAR and includes access for one day between the hours of 4pm to midnight. For guests attending the evening events only, the ‘Night Xperience’ ticket costs 750 SAR for one night, increasing to 1,750 SAR for all three nights. 

XP is set to welcome leading international and regional music industry executives, policy makers, artists and creatives to participate in workshops, panel discussions and roundtables as they come together in building the future for the region’s music industry.

XP programme director, Nada Alhelabi commented, “It’s fair to say that we are entering the most exciting time for the music industry in the Middle East, ever. The opportunity is enormous, the potential is being unlocked, and what we need is a moment for the industry to come together to seize this chance with both hands, XP is that moment’’.

She added, “We have built a very special program around the four key pillars; talent, the scene, policy, and social impact. We’re going to cover every corner of the industry with real outcomes and actions which will have a genuine and positive impact in the regional music industry.”

Programming for XP will come under four pillars: Talent and Development; Inspire and Promote; Data, Policy & Advocacy; and Social Purpose– with each pillar containing carefully curated panel discussions and networking opportunities. 

Topics under Talent and Development will range from ‘Amplifying Music Futures – What does this new generation of creatives need to thrive?’, where the focus will be on laying down the ingredients for success in the industry. Another topic of discussion is titled ‘It’s a real job, mama’, which will look at how, currently, careers in the creative industries are limited for many young people in the region, and what can be done to change it.

Inspire and Promotetopics will range from ‘Supercharging Music Tourism – Creating a sustainable new economy in KSA’ which will explore the changing landscape of the sharing economy, and the companies striving to make access to events and entertainment easier. A fishbowl session titled ‘How music can put a city on the global map’ will outline best practices in placemaking for music venues and festival sites.

‘Empowering Women in Music’ will be a hot topic under Data, Policy and Advocacy, as XP explores the advantages of female representation and having a diverse workforce. Another discussion under the same umbrella will be ‘The social and economic impact of the music industry on society’, which looks at the significant ROI music has on cities across the world. 

Social Impact programming will look at subjects which extend the positive reach of music culture into communities. This takes many forms with ‘Green events, green planet’, one example event which willshowcase the innovative power and progressive thinking within the events industry.

Ramadan Alharatani, CEO of MDLBEAST, says: “XP is a truly ground-breaking opportunity to contribute to building a new music and creative ecosystem that will offer benefits for all. The Middle East and Africa music market, which accounted for around US$170 million in the year 2018, is expected to grow to more than US$650 million in 2027¹. This is the scale of the opportunity and the reason why XP exists, to build the infrastructure to support and accelerate that growth.”

To ensure this, the XP programming has been carefully curated to cover the most important topics we are faced with today and I’m delighted to welcome some of the brightest and most exciting minds to join us in inspiring the next generation of music industry professional.”
