As Ibiza is added to the safe travel list, Amnesia continues to announce its much anticipated season in reverse. Next up is Pyramid’s sure-to-be historic 2021 closing party on Sunday, October 10th. This always legendary event will be headlined on the Terraza by firm favourites Ricardo Villalobos & Luciano, KiNK (live), Mar-T, and in the Club by Nina Kraviz, Dax J, Anetha and Luca Donzelli. Despite the current pandemic, Amnesia has worked hard to pull together two rooms of the world’s most elite DJing stars. This Pyramid closing party is proof of that, but there is much more to come in August, September and October. 

In just a few short years, Pyramid has shaken up the Ibiza landscape. The Monday night party moved to Sundays in 2020 with some mega line-ups that sadly never came to be. But before that, it had already recaptured some of the island’s early glory days with a focus on the music first and foremost. At Pyramid, people are there to dance until the sun comes up and beyond. The night is synonymous with only the most globally acclaimed DJs and loved for its mind-blowing production. Each party is a sensory explosion with cutting-edge technology, organic materials and immersive audiovisuals that truly offer something unique. After too long away because of the pandemic, this closing show is sure to be a celebration like no other.

Fittingly, then, the world’s most iconic DJs will headline the famous Terraza. Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have already sold out their show at Cova Santa, and are official Pyramid ambassadors. They will play together for a set of mind-warping techno that will show off the dexterous DJ skills and unpredictable selections that have made them real Pyramid favourites. Joining them is Bulgarian live wizard KiNK, who cooks up electrifying sets of impromptu techno on his vast array of synths and drum machines. It is one of dance music’s most amazing spectacles and cannot be missed. Lastly comes Mar-T, the long-time Amnesia resident, a DJ who knows the club’s crowds and sounds inside out, and who never fails to amaze. 

In the Club is new school techno queen Nina Kraviz. The DJ, producer and Trip label boss has innovated the techno world in recent years and can do anything from deep, pulsing, acid-laced rollers to raved-up sounds that leave the dance floor in awe. Dax J is a London-born, Berlin-based artist who is the quintessential DJ in every sense. The Monnom Black label boss has a famously raw and individual take on techno that never lets up. Meanwhile, Anetha is a Parisian techno mainstay and Blocaus resident who has risen to the top with her forward thinking sounds. Lastly, Italian Luca Donzell is of course the second Amnesia resident known the world over for lighting up the world-famous super club with his storytelling sets of house and techno. 

The Pyramid closing party is one of the real must-attend events in Ibiza. After the 18 months everyone has had, this one is set to be even more special than ever before.

‘5 INCREDIBLE STAGES OF MUSIC ON ONE BRAND NEW FESTIVAL SITE’

Following the latest government announcement, One World Festival is moving to 31st July and teaming up with Rave In The Park to bring you an even better and more complete experience. In the event of further delays, tickets will automatically be rolled over, or can be refunded on request. 

One World Festival will make history as the first-ever event in a brand new location set in 1200 acres of rolling green landscape in the outskirts of London inside the M25. Every single detail of this debut festival has been painstakingly designed to make for the perfect musical experience. The eclectic and world-class line-up features five spectacular stages hosted by the likes of Art E Fect, Audio Rehab, Un-Mondo, Feel the Fruit and the newly added Rave In The Park, with headliners Steve Lawler, Mark Radford, GW Harrison, Devstar, Sam Supplier, Carnao Beats, Marcus Nasty, Art E Fect, Nightshift, Andy Mills, Sooney and many more. 

One World Festival was born from the fallout following the demise of the live event industry during the Covid 19 pandemic. Upon the realisation that dance music would not be returning to clubs for some time, a group of close friends, brand owners and DJ/producers from the industry came together to create a new festival concept in a unique and all new outdoor location. And the event has since grown even stronger, linking up with Rave in The Park to make this the ultimate post lockdown celebration, with more essential DJs and world class sounds added to the already incredible line-up. 

Says Andy Mills of Rave In The Park: “A festival is fundamentally a rave in the park. We are incredibly excited to be teaming up with One World Festival, a partnership that will elevate both events and deliver the best possible experience to the ravers who are desperate to get in a big field and dance again.“

The festival will feature a main stage marquee, three tunnel stages, a VIP marquee and three large bar areas. The site will also include a funfair as well as a selection of local traders, vendors and food stalls. It will boast world-class audio-visual technology, including neon bars mounted within screens, huge LED screens, Pioneer DJ equipment and a KV2 large outdoor stack system for next-level sound. There is also a camping area and all other amenities essential for world-class outdoor festivals including local traders offering plenty of bespoke and boutique goodies. 

A key mantra for One World Festival is to support the emerging industry wherever possible. Helping artists and brands on their own journeys is a key part of that. The underground and upcoming scene is the lifeblood of the industry, and One World is setting out to support it at every turn, with each of the five stages featuring a carefully curated line-up comprising some of the very best DJs and producers in house, tech house and UKG, as well as a considered selection of up-and-coming artists. 

Each of the stages as well as the VIP stage will be hosted by a different key brand partner. Hosting the main stage will be Art e Fect, who’s core ethos is about mixing legends with the next generation of talent. Pre-pandemic, the brand had a residency at London’s iconic EGG Club and is now ready to get back to doing what they do best.The newly added Rave In The Park was born this year amid all the uncertainty surrounding the music industry as a whole. While this would have been the brand’s first festival, the team behind it has over 25 years experience in putting on events and performances, with some huge future plans that are sure to cement its legacy over the coming years as they strive to deliver some of the best events across the country.

Underground house label Audio Rehab is the brainchild of influential DJ and producer Mark Radford and has spawned its own sub-genre of lights-out, bass heavy house music. Un Mondo, headed up by DJ GGB aka Glen Butcher, is a collective of DJs and producers with over 25 years experience serving up atmospheric vibes to the ravers. Finally, Feel The Fruit will bring their house, tech and classics sound to the VIP stage, having hosted sold out events all over London and Essex.

With its great attention to detail and focus on emerging talent as well as international names, One World Festival is a vital new addition to the UK summer.

The supremely stylish spot boasts stunning panoramic views, towering palm trees and a magical pagoda that are all backlit with warming reds and greens once night falls.  

For these unique experiences, there will be a secluded VIP area as well as a lavish selection of drinks and cocktails from the esteemed mixologist and Drink’s Atelier founder, Marc Álvarez. You will also be able to enjoy some of the best wine in Ibiza from the onsite cave, as supervised by the most prestigious winemakers on the island.

The cultured restaurant is a luxurious place to sit and enjoy the live music, which will tastefully soundtrack the journey from early evening into late night.

On July 1st for the special restaurant opening, it is White Isle resident and global soundman Nightmares on Wax who will bring his eclectic bag of sun-kissed sound, dub, funk, soul and house.

On July 3rd, the gardens officially open with master tunesmith Purple Disco Machine, who serves up the lushest house and disco imaginable. His catalogue has had more than 750 million streams and counting, he is the number 2 charting Beatport artist of all time and his singles have gone multi-platinum in multiple countries around the world. Indie pop innovators Sophie and The Giants – who worked with Purple Disco Machine on 2020 hit ‘Hypnotized’ – will also play one of their magical, Italo disco-inspired sets.

This is the start of what is sure to be a very special run of intimate, tasteful and grown-up experiences for the White Isle’s keenest food and music lovers.

The History of Cova Santa 

Ibiza is an internationally recognized destination thanks to its cultural richness, its natural beauty, its ties with the history of music and it being a benchmark of excellence in areas like hospitality and gastronomy. Cova Santa has all these characteristics, has a cultural and historical background, is located in an environment of unquestionable beauty and has a gastronomic offering that stands out for its avant-garde spirit.

Cova Santa can be seen from the road that goes from Ibiza to Sant Josep at kilometre 7. Immersed in the side of a Mediterranean mountain of pine trees and junipers, Cova Santa is witness to the passage of different civilizations and cultures that permeated the place with mysticism, spirituality, and cosmic energies. A refuge for pirates, smugglers, holy men and a meeting point for the hippie community.

In 2001 when the AMNESIA Group bought Cova Santa, its priority was the conservation of the cave and the improvement of its access, always with the advice of geologists and technicians, so their visits are very restrictive. In addition to the conservation work, the AMNESIA Group opted for a conceptual and aesthetic transformation, generating a multidisciplinary space from which to stimulate all the senses. An incomparable landscape, exotic gardens full of vegetation distributed in terraces at various levels, spacious and equipped spaces for restaurants and gastronomy, decorated with exotic oriental furniture and a complete indoor party room.

Amnesia Ibiza continues to announce its long-awaited 2021 season in backwards order with news of it’s always unforgettable Do Not Sleep Closing Party on October 12th. This year’s much-needed celebration will be headlined by house and techno tastemakers Patrick Topping, Paul Woolford, Cinthie and Gerd Janson on the Terrace, and Archie Hamilton, Sidney Charles and Chris Stussy b2b S.A.M.

Do Not Sleep launched in 2014 and immediately changed the Ibiza landscape with a non-conformist attitude exemplified by its ‘straight through crew’ mantra and hashtag. The party’s firm focus on young, fresh talents and music-first, underground-only vibes also stands it apart. Initially a nomadic party in hot demand at Space, Pacha and Privilege, it eventually set up a more lasting home at the globally renowned Amnesia. This year the brand will be on a mini world tour, hosting club events and festival stages all over the globe, always with the hottest house and techno acts providing the sounds. 

This closing party at the famously authentic Ibiza superclub that is Amnesia will be no different. It will play out across the club’s two iconic spaces – The Terrace, and Main Room. In the former will be Patrick Topping, the Trick party and label head who is very much the face of contemporary British house and techno. He will be joined by the relentless Paul Woolford, who can do everything from classy piano house bangers to face-melting techno, all with endless reserves of passion and energy. Running Back label boss and famously eclectic, party-starting DJ and deep digging vinyl collector Gerd Janson also plays with an always unpredictable bag of tricks. Completing the Terrace is Berlin mainstay, record label boss and record store owner Cinthie, whose raw, deep, authentic brand of house music has made her one of the best in the game. 

The Main Room will be lit up with the pounds of Archie Hamilton, who runs three labels in Moscow Records, Moss Co. & Arkityp, and someone who is one of the most sought after DJs in the game because of his knack for laying down sets of irresistible minimal-leaning house. Heavy House Society label boss Sidney Charles also lines up with his bass-heavy, chunky, floor-facing house grooves which are designed for maximum physical impact. Lastly, Chris Stussy b2b S.A.M is a face-off between two vital talents and masters of electronic funk and slick, spaced out house. Between them, they have landed on classy labels like Stussy’s Up The Stussy, Locus and Eastenderz. 

This will be another historic night. Make sure you get involved with the #straightthroughcrew. 

“Atlanticus have the creativity and imagination to help create the kind of unique digital piece we envisaged in thoughtful and sensitive ways. They really understand how to help tell a story in the right way, regardless of the priceless nature of the manuscript. We’re working closely with them to find the right music collaborator. We have the worldwide exclusive rights in all sectors and are opening up this once in a millennium opportunity to them with the Magna Carta for NFT’s. Knowing that the really care about every element of this which is essential when taking something of such historical significance half way around the world during a global pandemic” said Luke Purser, Director at Hawkwood International.

Co-built and curated by tech, music and cultural experts who strongly believe in the freedom of artists and creators to benefit from content focused decentralized networks, Atlanticus is a new musical experience driven NFT platform offering exclusive experiences to creators and fans. 

Having music at its very heart, the teams at Atlanticus are honoured, in partnership with Hawkwood International, to have secured a unique NFT involving the Magna Carta and a unique piece of music by the three-time Grammy Award nominee and international superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold as a first release. This original document, accompanied by the King’s Writ, a one of a kind letter from King John in 1215, is travelling from England to Washington next month and we are lucky to have the opportunity to be part of the 800 year old history by adding a 21st Century NFT to it.

Atlanticus is built on the foundations of music and has been designed to best serve creators, collectors and the wider fan community. Like any world class gallery, Atlanticus is not only about transactions but wants to share the beauty of these pieces with as wide an audience as possible. You don’t have to own the rights to a piece of music to appreciate it or indeed to buy a recording of the original.

“It is a unique honour to be able to connect my music to such an iconic priceless manuscript, knowing that it will live on for ever more“ said Paul Oakenfold.

By utilizing the blockchain and NFT technology, Atlanticus offers the freedom for any artists in the world to share instantly their tracks, albums, DJ sets, videos, music experiences and any music related creation they may think of with their fans and other music lovers. It creates a way for artists to address their communities directly, and for music lovers to own rare, unique and exclusive creations, numbered and digitally signed on the blockchain.

“Being open minded and understanding that they want to share their creations is essential when working with creative people and being able to give cultural assets, be they music, art or film a global audience is something that Atlanticus have as a core message. We did that at Stonehenge with Universe, Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox before anyone had heard of NFT’s so imagine what we can do now!” said Alon Shulman, MD Universe, CEO World Famous Group & co-founder at Atlanticus.

Created and developed by and for music lovers, Atlanticus is about enjoying and sharing exclusive music between artists and communities, it makes music exclusive again by offering rare and limited editions of music pieces.

“Imagine owning a signed Banksy or one of the 100 numbered limited editions of a Picasso lithograph, this is what Atlanticus does for music, it’s as simple as that! We’re delighted as a music platform to be given the unique opportunity to unite both the foundations of individual freedom and those of dance music with the Magna Carta Libertatum & Paul Oakenfold“ said Stéphane Schweitzer, owner of Clubbing TV & co-founder at Atlanticus.

• • •

“Atlanticus is a magic music place where any artist in the world could share their music with their fans, creating love, proximity and a strong link between creators & collectors” said Adrien Aversa, owner of Marmeladz, a leading European digital media group & co-founder at Atlanticus.

Fully invested in music creation, Altanticus will reserve a portion of all its proceeds to be donated to its “Atlanticare” initiative, a foundation that provides recording equipment and a way to benefit from the digital income from their creations to musicians in regions across the world where as a result of economic or political reasons they struggle have no access to this.

SAVE OUR SCENE UK PRESENTS #FREEDOMTODANCE

On Sunday 27th June 2021, Save Our Scene UK (“SOS”), #LetUsDance and friends will be demonstrating in London with performances from some of the biggest names in music. It is expected to be the largest demonstration the music industry has ever seen.

Kai Cant, the founder of Abode came to SOS with the initial idea and has since rallied DJs and powerhouses from across all corners of the scene to come together under the rallying cry of #FreedomToDance!

The march will depart from Marble Arch at 12pm on Sunday making its way to Parliament, with DJ sets from the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick, Eats Everything, East End Dubs, Fat Tony, Franky Wah, Hannah Wants, Jess Bays, Max Chapman, Charlie Tee, Kizzy Alicia, SUAT, Seb Zito, SOSA, Waff, Summer Ghemati, Wheats and many more… 

The Founder of SOS, George Fleming says, “Whilst it’s great to see waves of football fans partying in London, it really asks us a question, why is the music industry still being suffocated by the Government? We have proven that we can open responsibly, and 58,000 people took part in the pilot events, of which only 15 people tested positive (5 of which were home related). This has proven the industry can successfully carry out safe events without adding to the spread of the virus.”

Michael Kill CEO NTIA / Savenightlife CIC #LetUsDance says “The Government has consistently marginalised our sector, we have had to fight for every bit of support and engagement throughout the pandemic. We have been continually targeted by the Government and excluded within every announcement. Our Industry is recognised and valued across the world, yet undervalued by our own Government. It’s time to push back and show the power of electronic music and the night time economy through its greatest asset, its people! Time to #Letusdance.”

Eats Everything, leading U.K. artist says, “This Government is all about money, and it can’t be that our industry isn’t financially beneficial to them because we clearly are, so it has to be merely down to the fact that they don’t like the culture plain and simple. I’m absolutely not a Covid denier or anti mask/vaxer in any way shape or form, but what I am is a person who is a member of an industry that has been totally downtrodden time and time again…Stop ruining hearts, minds and livelihoods”.

Hannah Wants, British DJ and Producer, who is also performing on Sunday says, “I’m proud and excited that the dance music industry is coming together as one to ultimately fight for our industries future.”

The industry has lost all confidence in the Government over their handling of the arts through the last 18 months and there are huge signs that the Government has a complete disregard for the very industry which makes life so worth living for workers and music lovers combined. 

Fleming continues “We are protesting this week to tell the Government that enough is enough and we will not stay silent any longer. Too many jobs have been lost and the damage has become irreversible. Around 10,000 licensed venues have already closed permanently and over 400,000 live events staff have lost their jobs. Our message to the Government is if they delay any further, we will be on the streets protesting daily. We cannot afford to wait any longer.”

One of the organisers, Kai Cant says, “Some might ask, why protest now, it’s only 4 weeks away? To which I answer, if we stay silent, this will present a greater potential for the Government to delay again and again. We have run many polls over the past 2 days, which shows on average 90% of the population don’t believe they will lift all restrictions on July 19th. This shows a complete lack of confidence, so that is why we are here today. For the people.”

Save Our Scene supports people’s personal choice in whether they decide to engage with the vaccination programme or not and they respect people’s opinion on the matter.

They have also encouraged everyone to act responsibly, safely and pick up their litter on the march.

#FREEDOMTODANCE

The one of a kind audio platform allows venues, DJs and musicians to maximise ticket revenue, even once the doors open again 

Audio streaming app Beatstream is a platform without barriers, with zero setup costs and unbeatable audio quality. Although established prior to the pandemic, they invested heavily in the platform during lockdown and have already streamed the First Dance pilot event from Liverpool which attracted listeners from all over the world. 

During the launch of Beatstream, they have conducted successful pilot streams with The Happy Mondays, Shed Seven, The Blossoms, Graeme Park and Clint Boon amongst many more. The app now boasts more than 50,000 listeners in 24 countries. Early stats show that 94% of people who buy a ticket for a Beatstream event are still listening at the end, and the platform is adding new features all the time, including integrated paywalls, social media incorporation and much more. 

Music is a social experience, and Beatstream harnesses that. The platform’s digital transformation of the live music experience has created endless opportunities for musicians, especially during a time where live gatherings of people are restricted all over the world. The Beatstream Live function has not only allowed artists to continue earning whilst music venues have been forced to shut, but has also connected fans to their favourite artists.

As popular as video streaming has become, audio streaming is still vastly preferred in most settings such as house parties. An audio stream allows artists to focus on what they are best at – the music. Even post-Covid, when live streaming from clubs takes off once more, audio-only streaming will remain the first choice simply because the UK’s network infrastructure isn’t stable enough to allow mass video streaming to be scaled to levels of suitable quality and stability. 

Beatstream allows artists and venues to earn revenue by selling tickets and streaming live performances to an unlimited global audience. It costs nothing to set up, and takes under 10 minutes to get live, which is in stark contrast to the costs and time involved in setting up visual streaming. The complete plug and play solution offers secure streaming that restricts sharing, is available via the app or on desktops and sits behind an embedded paywall. 

That paywall is now capable of allowing events to be either free, ticketed, pay what you feel, tip only, or a charitable donation. Tickets are listed via a simple online form and are sold via the Beatstream ticket site, with dedicated technicians setting up each listing. Users earn revenue on each ticket sold via the app, with Beatstream costs starting from only £1 + 15p per hour streamed from each ticket. 

Social media is also being ever more closely integrated with Beatstream with event chat and messaging recently added and plans for much more in the near future. All of this has led to quick growth for Beatstream, which is already actively engaging partners in the USA and Europe’s 24/7 live music experience covering all genres from country to EDM, gospel to punk, hip hop to jazz. Partnerships have been struck up with the likes of PRS For Music, The Department for International Trade, Music Venue Trust (MVT) and many more to come. 

Matt Walsh, Founder & CEO comments; “We take the feed straight from the mixing desk so the fans hear the full live experience. They simply buy a ticket, receive a code and sign into the gig on the Beatstream website or App when the doors open. It’s a high-quality audio stream and all the test events have sounded fantastic. The technology has been designed to be simple, it takes minutes to set up at the venue and can be listened to anywhere in the world on many devices.

“Promoters can now sell tickets for people to listen anywhere in the world. This is a new revenue stream which goes beyond a venue’s capacity, it is secure, high-quality and limitless. Fans can now get into ‘sold out’ events or follow their favourite artists around the world. Promoters set the price of the ticket; Beatstream Box Office simply charges a fixed price per stream for the technology cost.”

Beatstream connects fans with live music scenes all over the world, no matter where they are. For artists, Beatstream allows them to rest safe in the knowledge that fans are getting the best possible experience, all while offering simple and effective ticketing solutions. There really is nothing else like it.

The biggest club launch that the North East has seen in a decade is set for August bank holiday weekend featuring one of the most iconic names in dance music. 

Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, the new 1500 capacity ‘super-club’ features 3 separate rooms,  a ground breaking sound system from L-Acoustic and a state-of-the-art, fully immersive light and visual show.

BBC Radio 1 legend Pete Tong and Horse Meat Disco open the venue on Friday 27th with support from Charlie Hedges, Mighty Mouse and Natasha Kitty Katt.

Local resident DJs John Dance, Jonny Burn and Kev Cannon will be on support duties all weekend.

There are few individuals in the world of dance music who can claim the kind of influence Pete Tong has had over the last twenty years.

As the voice of BBC Radio 1’s prestigious dance programming, Pete has held a commanding presence over the industry for more than two decades  With an unparalleled ear for new talent, Tong has become the leading tastemaker of the electronic generation.  Quite simply, an industry icon.

Also appearing on Friday night are the UK’s finest disco collective, Horse Meat Disco.

The four-strong DJ collective of Jim Stanton, James Hillard, Luke Howard and Severino Panzetta have become a mainstay of leading festival stages and with monthly residencies in London, New York, Berlin and Lisbon they have established themselves as one of the world’s most successful disco club brands.

Behind this exciting new project are John Dance, Marty Smith and Rob Seaman. With over 30 years experience in the music industry Marty has key local knowledge in the North East’s nightlife scene, working at some of the region’s most famous venues.

Directors behind The Lofts l-r Rob Seaman, John Dance, Marty Smith

Rob has worked in the Balearic Islands since the early 90s.  During his time there he was Director of the world famous Café Mambo where he was instrumental in bringing BBC Radio 1’s weekly broadcasts to the venue. He also worked with Pete Tong on his Wonderland nights and the Swedish House Mafia during their inaugural year at Pacha.

He then moved to Mallorca, working as VIP Director for Ibiza Rocks before launching the groundbreaking youth concept hotel BH Mallorca with its 7,000 capacity live events venue and festival level production.

Rob brings with him an incredible wealth of experience, expertise and a network of talent that would be hard to match.

Says Rob: 

‘Our aim is to build on the excellent reputation Newcastle already has and raise its profile still further. We are booking international artists from different genres and can mix up the styles on the same night in the different rooms. We will have something to offer everyone at The Lofts and look forward to welcoming music fans not just from the local area but from throughout the UK’.
