“Making material manifestations of the metaverse is something that we have been exploring for some time now so coming together on a collaboration of this nature was exciting and equally inspirational. Fusing together conceptual and and experimental design elements with the latest technology still using traditional bespoke craftsmanship is the kind of project that really got our heart beats up. We are thrilled to be collaborating with the extraordinary and brilliant team at Amnesia Ibiza and Hipworth says Emma Addams and Lenny Cohen from Heart of Bone.

No two shows are ever the same and that keeps our customers coming back time and time again.”

Panic in L.A. Roars Back with Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff Performing Live Together for the First Time Ever

Panic in L.A. Roars Back with Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff Performing Live Together for the First Time Ever

ORLOVE’s iconic ,genre bending, hip hop party Panic in L.A., returns after a four year absence, August 20th when the legendary pair of Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff perform on stage together for the first time ever. Under the newly launched banners of Orlove by Day and Orlove by Night, the electrifying ORLOVE collective is also set to host a series of already sold out boat and pool parties around L.A, including LAMP 8-Year Anniversary with Mark Farina, their Daft Disko, San Junipero – a unique Retrowave boat party, collaborations with Deep House Brunch and Genius Loci Festival, and much more between May 29th and September 18th. All this proves the game-changing American promotion is ready to bust out of pandemic hibernation in serious style. 

Panic in L.A. is the hip hop arm of the ORLOVE brand and in the past, it has hosted beat-making royalty such as DJ Premier, Raekwon, Sango, Pomo, Mix Master Mike, Craze and Giraffage. It has been four years since the last Panic party but the wait has been worth it to get Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff on stage together for the first time in history with Thee Mike B of Banana Split Fame as support. Each Panic event to date has been a memorable throw down with next-level light and sound and incredible energy from the crowd. 

These two are true hip-hop giants who have helped to define the genre over numerous decades. Rakim was of course one half of seminal duo Eric B & Rakim and is regarded as one of the most skilled and influential rappers of all time. Jazzy Jeff is the multi-talented producer, writer and DJ  who has won Grammys for iconic tunes like ‘Summertime’ as well as developing vital artists such as Eminem, Jill Scott and many more. Having them together on stage for the first time ever is set to be a true moment in hip-hop history. 

ORLOVE only launched in 2016 but since then has blazed an incredible trail. The brand has been responsible for creating, crafting and partnering on some of the most sought-after parties in the U.S. and in 40 markets spanning over 250+ parties per year.  From West Hollywood HQ to the rest of the world, Orlove has championed rising stars as well as internationally renowned guests such as FKJ, Questlove, Nina Kraviz, DJ Premier, Holy Ghost!, Giorgio Moroder, Roy Ayers, Raekwon and many more. They have also partnered with numerous prestigious brands like Soulection, Dim Mak and Ministry of Sound to create experiences that bridge the gap between genres, fans and artists globally.

Despite the difficulties of the last year, the team has not slowed down. In 2020 they launched the online music series Under the Covers to showcase musicians around the world covering current, cutting-edge music, and already this year they have launched the online podcast On Top of The Covers, before now unveiling this mouthwatering run of parties. You can check On Top Of The Covers here. The podcast has since turned into a community with millions of views and thousands of subscribers, not to mention a monthly reach of approximately 2.5M across all social and email

Says Orlove’s Matt, “Extremely proud of the work our team has accomplished over the past year and a half while our events side of the business was on hiatus. Especially with things starting to open back up again, never have we been more focused with the direction of the ORLOVE brand as we continue to scale globally.” 

May sees a special Memorial Day Weekend blowout with a first-ever deep house brunch sunset pool party at Catalina Classic Cruises, before a second during the day at Skybar at Mondrian. June includes a San Junipero Retrowave boat party full of cinematic, 80s-influenced dance cuts by some of the best Retrowave and Synthwave artists out there, plus Daft Disko, a house and disco party inspired by the famous French robots, as well as a Genius Loci Boat Party. A further boat party is planned for September with one and only house legend Mark Farina headlining LAMP’s 8 Year Anniversary on the 18th

There is much more to come from ORLOVE this year, but already the first wave of events is mouthwatering indeed.

Mathame unveil debut NFT collection: ‘Angel Alphabet’ 

Mathame announce debut NFT collection, Angel Alphabet, The First Metamyth – 

They will also do a OVR Live Performance

Drop goes live on May 30th at https://foundation.app/mathame

Visit https://www.angelalphabetcollection.com for more info

As electronic artists, Italian techno duo Mathame considers technology to be the mother of their world. Having always wanted to cross the line between music and art, they are now about to do so in spectacular fashion with the launch of their very own Angel Alphabet NFT. Mathame will be donating a portion of proceeds from the sales to Carbon180 in their efforts to offset and reduce carbon emissions. 

Mathame is an Italian techno pair who bring real depth of emotion to their grooves. They release on labels like Tale Of Us’s Afterlife, Sony/B1 and have a truly emotive and deep techno sound that’s full of melody. They are still riding high off the success of their globally acclaimed 2020 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, and have recently launched a groundbreaking series of mixtapes that have been put together with a brand new A.I. algorithm developed to test the power of the new M1 processor architecture by Apple. “Old Neural Mixtape Vol.1” landed in March 2021, with further installments to follow throughout the year. But now they lead from the front with this game-changing new multi-media NFT project.

Says the pair, “With Angel Alphabet, we are trying to solve a problem that we felt from the beginning: Where are the big stories, the Myths, and Legends of this new digital metaverse? So we called a crew of 12 visual artists that we love and we challenged ourselves to build the very first MYTH of the Metaverse. We named it “metamyth” and after research we wrote a simple concept to tell a fictional story where DigitalBot and Angels fought, and during the battle, Angels lost their Alphabet somewhere in the Metaverse. The challenge was to imagine the shape of the letters, where they were and how they got there, and present them to the public. The output of the research will come in 12 unique pieces of digital art. But this is just the beginning of a new media narrative.”

Each artwork is a unique, 30-second audio-visual offering that immediately drops you deep into Mathame’s archeo-futuristic world. There is a narrative to each one, with dramatic and cinematic music bringing real energy and tension to the abstract visual. Some feature liquid metal shapes displayed like sculptures on a rock planet, others see colourful clouds drifting through a haunting space and there are also explosions of particles in glass boxes, fields of flowers blowing in a warm wind featureless figures framing more abstract digital art. They are soothing, fascinating pieces that very much get you lost in the moment and admiring the beauty of the forms and textures.

On the day of release fans will be invited to experience Mathame’s OVR live performance where they will be presenting the full collection and playing a set in a unique virtual world via https://www.ovr.ai/. This avant-garde project will be explained via Mathame’s socials and fans will then be invited to download the OVR app and experience the special virtual reality private viewing of the full collection at 7pm on May 30th. 

Ovr is the decentralized platform for geolocalized AR/VR experiences. We use NFTs as spatial domains: basically, we divided the world into 300 sqm hexagons, each one represented by an NFT. Just like on the web where people own a web domain and control the content over there, in OVR people who own the NFT representing a geographic location will decide the AR/VR content for their own hexagon. Some of the major uses for this include gaming (PokemonGo style), live events, virtual retail, virtual exhibitions, avatars, tourism, real estate showcase, art exhibitions and many more

NFTs are transforming the digital art world, “ Non-Fungible-Token” aka NFT are one-of-a-kind token that represents a unique asset or content that can be bought and sold by collectors; using blockchain technologies to keep track of provenance and ownership. When a collector buys an artist’s pieces as an NFT, they’re buying the unique token representing the digital artwork. Ownership is then recorded in a tamper-proof way by the token, which also guarantees the artist a percentage of any future sales.

PETE TONG & DAVID RODIGAN HEADLINE THE UK’S BIGGEST EVER SOUL & REGGAE EVENT

Pete Tong to perform an exclusive soul set for the first time in 30 years


Tickets:www.platinumweekender.co.uk

Dates:16th-19th July


Amazing sunsets, iconic white cliffs and unspoilt golden sands. An incredibly rare soul set from dance music icon Pete Tong, lashings of reggae from one of the scene’s most towering and pioneering figures in David Rodigan, endless funk and rare grooves from Norman Jay and world renowned jazz trumpeter Tom Browne, as well as five different arenas and more than 40 other acts. You can expect all this as well as comfortable accommodation and welcoming atmospheres when the Platinum Soul and Reggae hosts the biggest ever event of its kind at the newly renovated Pontins Camber Sands from July 16th – 19th 2021. 
Platinum Weekender has invited some of the most influential DJs and artists in the world to create something truly special. This is a historic event that will go back to where it all started and cover all the key music movements from the 1970s, 80s and the early 1990s balanced with showcasing new, fresh and exciting contemporary sounds.

The setting for this once in a lifetime gathering is special, with a stunning natural backdrop and the gorgeous dunes all ready and waiting. Pontins Camber Sands is one of the largest holiday parks in the UK and has recently undergone a huge refurbishment. The park offers a full spectrum of facilities including a convenience store, multiple restaurants, arcades, gym, swimming pool, four fully licensed music and entertainment halls, Go-Kart track, chill out zones and much more.

The big news is that Pete Tong is to play a landmark soul set for the first time in 30 years. The man is best known for championing new music, which he has done for decades on Radio 1 via his iconic Essential Mix and various other influential shows. But he actually has roots in soul music that go way back. In his earliest years in music he worked as part of the Kent “Soul Mafia” bringing soul weekenders to seaside towns such as Caister-on-Sea and Prestatyn and in 1979 was even an advertising sales assistant for Blues & Soul Magazine. As such this music runs deep in his bones so to hear him play a very personal selection of soul for the first time in three decades will be magic.

Performing on the same night will be the one and only Norman Jay. An icon since the 80s, he has very much shaped the soul, disco, funk, acid jazz and rare groove scene over the years and that is reflected with his MBE status. What he doesn’t know about these sounds isn’t worth knowing so expect a real masterclass. Meanwhile, bringing more world class rhythms will be David Rodigan, the original reggae and dancehall selector and soundclash champion. He is known the world over for his impeccable taste and long radio station presence on the likes of Kiss 100 and BBC Radio 1Xtra. As well as these headliners, there are more than 40 further acts all lined up to keep the good times flowing all weekend long. 

The line-up has been carefully curated according to the time of day with a daytime program jam packed full of music, food, socialising and dancing. There will also be special Sunset at Camber Sands sessions that will send shivers down your spine and evening events across five different areas from 10pm – 5am including the MAIN ROOM for big sounds from the pioneers, REGGAE ROOM which is dedicated to Reggae and Lovers Rock with an enhanced sound system, JAZZ FUNK SOUL ROOM for afternoon sessions and late-night gatherings and THE UP-FRONT ROOM for diverse sounds both old and new music. You can also expect special live shows in the outdoor LIVE SESSIONS arena, a more laid-back environment for socialising.

The team behind this stunning festival has been putting on events for the last seven years in places all over the world. This year they head to the USA for the first time as well as hosting the Boogaloo Weekender in October. They have a wealth of experience and know how and always ensure every single detail is taken care of with the utmost care and attention

Says Director Jamie Costello, “The Platinum Weekender was created as an extension to our successful overseas events that have been experiencing huge growth year on year, mainly because of our cutting edge and diverse music policy. We welcome people from all walks of life and one of our biggest USP’s is our friendly crowd who know their stuff when it comes to music. Everyone is made to feel welcome and feel like part of the family by the time our events finish. Our team is made up of myself and Leemoore Smith, who have been hosting Soul & Reggae events internationally for the past 7 years and Rob Lawrence, who was involved in the very first Caister Soul Weekenders from the late 70’s. The response for our first Platinum Weekender has been unbelievable, as we look to deliver a weekender that will enable people to really let loose after an awful 15 months for everyone both in and outside of the industry”.

As well as the music, the whole site will become an adult playground with a fitness program devised by Troy Dureh from FightKlub, Yoga, Roller Disco, traditional seaside fun and games, Tribe Tug of War, Hopelessly talentless competition, five a side, aqua aerobics, The Pool Party, Bingo, Drunken Doddle Contest, The Platinum All Star Band, National Limbo Championships, Mr & Mrs Platinum and much more.

A Covid Policy is in place which means you can dance safely and your money is protected if the event does not go ahead due to Covid restrictions.

The world’s most famous club today serves up real hope and positivity for music lovers everywhere with full details of the irresistible Amnesia Closing Party on October 23rd. The multi-roomed spectacular will offer something for Amnesia fans of all ages with superstar residents old and new next to iconic headliners. The essential line-up includes Jamie Jones, The Blessed Madonna, Adam Beyer, Alfredo, Young Marco, Jayda G, Deborah de Luca, Marco Faraone, Cuartero, Mar-T & Caal, Sidney Charles & Seb Zito and many more. 

Amnesia continues to work backward from the end of the season with their epic announcements. But this one is enough to get any and all dance music lovers hot under the collar even before they arrive on the club’s vast and iconic dance floor, beneath cutting-edge production, huge ice cannons and audio-visual displays that are on another level to any other experience. There is a reason that these events often go on for 24 hours, and that is because people simply cannot get enough. 

This sure-to-be legendary closing party opens at 1600 hours and runs till 12pm the next day with four rooms of carefully curated music. One of those is the all-new 3-D space which will have its own special vibe thanks to classy house, techno, electro and plenty in between from cultured selectors Jayda G, Young Marco and John Woods. 

The iconic Terraza is one of the most famous dancing spots in the world. It is a must-visit for any real clubber and for this party from 18:00 – midnight, there will be special daytime party vibes with a wealth of mouthwatering food on offer to make for a different sort of occasion. Musically, it will be a spine-tingling trip down memory lane with Amnesia classics from the one and only original Balearic pioneer Alfredo joined by Jeremy Healy, Alex P and Jason Bye. 

Meanwhile, once the sun has set, the party gets more freaky and the music takes on a late night character from midnight to midday, the Terraza will bounce to the sounds of new resident Jamie Jones and The Blessed Madonna. These are two of the most pivotal and influential DJs in the scene who know exactly how to work giant crowds into a frenzy. They will be joined by firm Amnesia favourites Richy Ahmed, Cuartero, Mar-T & Caal, Sidney Charles & Seb Zito and Luca Donzelli. 

Last but not least, the always brilliantly dark and intense Club will be the place for powerful techno from titans of the scene. Drumcode’s Adam Beyer, plus Deborah De Luca, Marco Farone, Andres Campo and Les Schmitz all play. 

As restrictions are lifted and the global Covid-19 situation in Ibiza becomes clearer, Amnesia will continue to announce their events in reverse order so that you have plenty of positivity and good news to keep you going until the big return to the dance floor. 

This is set to become another historic night in the ongoing story of Amnesia, so make sure you are there… #welcomehome

Welcome to Summer Love Festival 2021, which takes place at East Byshee Showground in Surrey on Saturday 4th September with Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, Adamski live, Saytek live, Darren Emerson, David Scuba, Mr C, Terry Farley, Robert Owens live and many more. 

It will be bringing up a 12 hours of boutique atmospheres and intimate crowds, cultured house, acid and techno from across the ages. A stunning leafy setting that harks back to the golden era of rave.  

The main Summer Love Arena will echo the legendary M25 orbital raves of 1988/89. Strictly non commercial and totally definitive, it will be unlike any other Old School event or festival because of its authentic line up of DJs from the first wave of Acid House and Techno Culture. These are the DJs and artists who created the London scene in 1987/88/89 and are responsible for starting the first wave of underground electronic music that was formative of the dance music culture the world enjoys today.  

Tent 2 is the Superfreq Arena, with boss men Mr C and David Scuba joined by cutting edge DJs playing the very best upfront Acid House, Tech House, Minimal Tech & Techno music. Tent 3 is the Graffiti Kings Radio Arena, which will feature talented hosts from the radio station playing all shades of house and deep house and Tent 4 is the Alternative Arena with DJs playing Soul, Funk, Dub Reggae, Disco, Old School Electro, Old School NY Garage, Nu Wave and Electronic Pop that acted as a pre-curser to Acid House culture. 

The sound, lighting, projections and staging production will be fully designed to immerse you in a world of colour like no other. There will also be gourmet food trucks, fully licensed bars, fun fair attractions and merchandise stalls adding to the overall experience. For those who can’t get enough, after hours will be at a brand new 1,200 capacity club in Crawley, 10-15 minutes from the festival site. 

The original loved up 88-92 generation will feel perfectly at home at Summer Love, as will the new generation of partygoers, as this carefully curated event is designed to replicate the late 80s orbital raves but with a modern festival production. This specialist dance gathering delivers the very best in House, Acid, Techno & Alternative, music from the roots & inception of Acid House’s  culture right up to today’s current sounds, pulling together discerning old school ravers and the new generation alike.
