Reinier Zonneveld Drops the First Single ‘Music Is The Answer’ from his Upcoming LP

Techno legend Reinier Zonneveld will release his newest full – length artist album this year, with new single ‘Music Is The Answer’ — to be released on June 9 on Filth On Acid — the first taste of the top – selling techno royalty’s hotly – anticipated album.
The fourth in a constant stream of genre defining full length releases, Reinier Zonneveld looks to once again hit new heights and push the boundaries of his ever evolving sound with his latest productions. Having been a mainstay in Reinier’s live sets for two years now, ‘Music is the Answer’ has rattled the walls at Reinier Zonneveld’s sold out show at the Ziggo Dome, as well as at Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Amnesia Ibiza, EDC Las Vegas, BAUM Colombia, Timewarp, and elrow, to name a few.
‘Music Is The Answer’ is a thunderous slice of vocal techno channeling timeless ‘90s – leaning sounds but with a fresh new perspective. Throbbing off – beat bass underpins the thumping drums, while distorted acid grunts contrast sharply with the sweet vocal delivery. A slow – building breakdown channels classic trance as the vocal teases towards the chorus, exploding in thumping but understated fashion. Haunting pads float above the 303s, with a sparse arrangement allowing the vocal to really shine.
Fans will be delighted to hear news of the new album — Reinier Zonneveld’s first since 2019. Reinier Zonneveld comments:
“In this new album, I feel like there’s more consistency to the music – it’s all techno, but I’m exploring techno in a broader sense. There is diversity to the tracks, but they are all within the techno spectrum. I’d say this album is my biggest development as an artist, as the selection of music feels really cohesive.”
The album was designed to be suitable for home or club play, with a lot of attention to detail to ensure that it fits in any environment. It’s all high – impact stuff but “there’s enough musical content to keep you entertained when you listen at home. It’s like a blend of melodic music but then in a very high energetic form. So it’s really techno, but still with a lot of energy. I think the themes, production and the sound design are a big step up from my previous work and I am really happy with how my exploration of conveying emotional communication through the means of dancefloor – suitable techno worked out.”
From composing his first classical musical piece at a young age to building a cult following for his intricate live performances, Reinier Zonneveld is one of the most exalted talents in today’s techno scene. He is widely praised for his outstanding technical ability with samplers and analog synths, conducting technical live sets. 2023 is due to be a landmark year for Reinier Zonneveld, on top of the new album this summer, he has an eventful festival season ahead playing at the world’s most prestigious stages, such as Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Parookaville, in addition to throwing the first edition of his own festival, Karren Maar in the Netherlands on August 5, where he will be attempting to break a world record for the longest live electronic music performance.

Wellnergy Festival Partners With Spectrum First To Create First Safe Space For Neurodiverse Attendees

Wellnergy Festival is excited to announce its plans to become one of the most inclusive festivals in the UK as it partners with Spectrum First to create the first ever neuro-inclusivity festival safe space which will cater for all neurotypes.
Attending events involving large groups of people or crowds can be difficult for neurodivergent people. This can create issues on a daily basis when needing to do things that are necessary, such as food shopping as well as impacting things that people might want to experience, including going to events like festivals.

Hopefully, this partnership will mean that people who would not usually go to such spaces feel safe in the knowledge that not only can they attend, but that they will be fully welcomed, understood and supported when they do.

Nick Steiert, founder of Wellnergy says, “Wellnergy is a very inclusive brand, so when it was suggested that we try and foster this even more by making our festival neuro-inclusive, it lit a spark inside of me and I jumped at the opportunity to try and make this happen.”
Gemma Barstow, Spectrum First added, “festivals, art and culture have been shown to have a positive impact on neurodivergent individuals, many of whom are creative and artistically minded themselves, however research has often shown these spaces to be inaccessible for a wide variety of reasons including, but absolutely not limited to, their sensory experiences.”
Working with Wellnergy will allow Spectrum First to bring its understanding of neuro inclusion to a festival space for the first time, focusing on how to support neurodivergent people to feel safe, supported but most importantly able to enjoy a festival whilst connecting with others.
Barstow adds, “We have published an article which demonstrates the choices we are making about this pilot and how best to create the space.  We will also be posting information about what to expect during specific stages of the festival. All of the design is being developed with and by neurodivergent people. Our mantra at Spectrum First is that there is no best practice, because we continually strive to better our methods, the same mantra that will be applied to this project!”
About Spectrum First
With a diverse and skilled team, Spectrum First are informed by cutting-edge critical neurodivergent research and lived experience. Our support is highly adaptable to meet individual needs and as a values driven company we prioritise the people we support alongside our neurodiverse team. We have had over 20 years experience successfully supporting neurominority people and our team has grown significantly in that time as a result of word of mouth and our company ethos.
