Third party distributor DJ Tech Tools reveals a number of factors over the past 18 months that have led to high demand and low supply in the dance music gear industry. These factors include the rising costs of parts, labor and shipping, as well as chip shortages and the demand for live events recovering slowly. The used market is currently a good source for buying equipment, but prices are still inflated. DJ Tech Tools recommends, “If you’re looking to buy DJ gear or production hardware in the next 6 months, start thinking about it now.” While the lockdown proved to be an opportune time to get into DJing and music production, equipment may be more difficult to acquire until these ongoing situations level out. Read the full report, DJ gear: prices going up, supply low – here’s why + what every DJ should do right now, here.

Shadient didn’t stop at just producing the tracks, he also offers a visual element to go along with the singles in a joint lyric video, which he created himself. Using motion graphics, old film footage and other captivating visuals, the video shows off the dichotomy between the two releases, ‘CRASH’ being dark and heavy, ‘Roadworks’ being light and promising. Check out both tracks and the video below! This article was first published on Your EDM.

In fact, as the guitarist of post-metal/blackened mathcore group Noise Trail Immersion, he’s quite well-known in metal circles. That all stands to reason once one hears his debut solo album under the moniker Abiura, Hauntology, which released in mid-September: it’s expertly crafted, tonally near perfect and sound designed to a level that will likely make even the likes of Amon Tobin and Noisia ill with jealousy. Difficult to pull off as an expert, and nearly impossible for even the most prodigal of novices. It’s not that surprising that a metal artist, especially one who’s already dipped a few toes in the experimental pool such as Vergine, would create an album like Hauntology. Metal and electronica have enjoyed a long and prosperous love affair since long before pop got a hold of EDM. More importantly, death, black and gothic metal musicians are some of the most practiced, studied and talented in any genre, so if anyone could pull off a gorgeous, dissonant, wall of sound-style experimental electronica album that rivals Thys and Tobin, it’s someone like Vergine. Hauntology is not split into tracks, per se, but rather six movements which blend into each other. This makes it even more clear from the jump that the album has been composed like an orchestra piece. On the very first listen, it’s clear it would have to be thus. From the opening of movement I: “Abjection,” even when it appears there’s only a single note winding its way through the staff and then two and then three, it’s clear there’s a whole cast of supporting sound design written into the background. It only gets more layered from there. Ambient sounds, distortion, echo effects, sine wave manipulation…there’s so much going on in that first six minutes that the effect is almost binaural. Audiences coming from electronic or EDM backgrounds will initially think all the music is made digitally as the tones are so clear and drawn out, but as Hauntology moves through its subsequent movements with excellent, metal names like “The Cage of Precorporation” and “Perpetual Waves Between States of Anxiety,” Vergine’s guitar work starts to emerge. Now we must wonder if all those previous tones were also made by extreme manipulation of guitar notes. It could, in fact, be all guitar. This is where it really gets interesting from a theory or sound design perspective, as Hauntology starts to sound distinctly wall of sound-y. Pioneered by the late and not-so-great Phil Spector, wall of sound is typified by loads of instruments flooding a track so it becomes one continuous, well, wall of sound. Hence the name. Extremely popular with post-grunge rock bands of the shoegazey variety in the 90s such Catherine Wheel and Hum, wall of sound started to go the way of dream pop in the early 00s and it still poking around in the both EDM and experimental electronica circles. Vergine as Abiura is decidedly not shoegazey or dream pop-esque in his treatment of Hauntology, however, and this is where his “dissonant black metal” background, to use his term, comes into play. The dissonance built into literally every fiber of every track is drawn out and wound into helix formations in a way that wouldn’t be possible in a metal setting. It’s as if all the tightened coils of fast guitar work he’s created with Noise Trail Immersion simply needed to be unwound in Vergine’s head. He’s done a lovely job of lining them up end to end and giving them their own space. Designed as a concept album, Vergine says Hauntology is meant to address the dissonance or uneasiness we all feel as humans head-on. The result is something beyond the clatter, however, and it’s quite beautiful. That’s often what metal and, ostensibly, all forms of art are about: taking that madness and fear and turning it into something which transcends all of it. Artists like Vergine with projects like Abiura decide to stare those things right in the face. Vergine just happens to do it really, really well. Hauntology is out now on Moment of Collapse Records and can be streamed on Spotify and streamed or purchased on Bandcamp. We recommend the Bandcamp stream, as there are no gaps in the tracks. For metalheads wanting to check out Noise Trail Immersion, they’ll have a new album out called Curia by winter. Info here.

This marks Twitch’s first partnership with a major record company, bringing new ways to interact with music-related content on the service through various recording artist channels. Throughout the lockdown, DJs and artists took to Twitch as a means to keep up appearances and continue playing live for their audiences. The platform shifted from a largely gaming atmosphere to welcoming more types of creators. Tracy Chan, VP, Head of Music says, “Twitch has always been – and will continue to be – creator first. For fans, artists and all creators, this is a great step forward.” Warner Records superstars Bella Poarch and Saweetie are among the first to offer a steady stream of exclusive content and behind-the-scenes material, as well as Atlantic Records’ viral breakout singer/producer Sueco.

The producer shows off her devastating style of creative expression with emphasis on innovative sound design. AUSTERIA’s dark masterpiece came together rather instinctively, but has been waiting in the shadows for the right time to surface. AUSTERIA shares of the release: I was actually watching a TV show and a character jumped through a window exclaiming “get fucked!” And I immediately paused the show, sampled it, and started writing the track. I knew I wanted her to be heavy, and so I just started layering my own serum patches until it sounded cool and then dabbled in some resampling of the serum sounds. I actually let the track sit for about a year, and then completely revamped it for release. I was able to apply everything I’d learned to make her shine and I am so proud of how she turned out! “GET FUCKED” comes as part of Skull Vision’s new Perception compilation, also featuring ANOXEX, Hübac, Jebanski, Mxdelo, Nolweez, WEJJPLAY, and label founder ROYALFLU$H.

Deep growls control the heaviest parts of the track, maintaining a slow and steady flow throughout. Saratonin intends to spread positivity and love through her music and at her events, raising the vibration of the planet, one city at a time. Experience “Sailor Moon Battle” here and link up below!

Always pursuing the next big, equitable financial system, the DJ/producer has pioneered many different avenues for artists in the electronic dance world to capitalize on their music, and, in some cases, for the fans to benefit as well. His next song, “Worst Case,” will be the first use case of Royal’s mission to make music a publicly accessible investable asset class. Royal is offering 50% of the masters’ recording royalties to “Worst Case” which will be released on October 8, to Royal users, making them equal shareholders of the song alongside its creator. In a blog post on Medium, 3LAU writes, “One of my goals as a musician is to not only make unique art, but to build an everlasting symbiotic relationship between artists and listeners.” He continues, “One of the most common questions I’m asked is if music actually generates revenue. There’s a pervasive misconception that streaming services don’t pay artists, when in reality, intermediaries end up with the lion’s share of the revenue due to legacy record agreements. The fact is that the music industry has been growing like never before over the last few years and independent artists who maintain ownership have seen revenue growth in multiples of 20–50x. […] It starts here: you and I become co-owners of the music that I create and you inspire. And we will change the music business together.” “Worst Case” drops October 8. You can sign up for early access on Royal here. 50% of the streaming revenue ownership will be shared to users who win the early access contest.
