Rapid coronavirus (COVID-19) testing kits are hitting the market and they could change the way people test at home or before going out to public spaces, including concert venues. Swallow Events is behind a new kit specially designed for the live events industry. This is first company to offer its rapid testing service to organizers in the UK and across the world. The process involves 15-minute “pop up” testing (99.68% specificity) done by government-approved healthcare professionals. With the ability to test for COVID-19 on site, with results in just minutes, comes the possibility of large-scale events returning once again. The major turn-off for smaller events being cost, as testing kits start at £13 a pop with a minimum 100 units. Founder and Managing Director of Swallow Events, Oli Thomas, calls the testing kit a “game changer.” His full statement reads: The events industry has been forgotten and devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although a common misconception, events have actually been allowed to take place in the UK in 2020. The guidelines regarding them, however, are unclear, with the ultimate decision often based on a single person’s opinion at local authority level. There are instances of events receiving approval and licences granted, only for them then to be revoked at the last minute, which only serves to further fuel financial problems and job losses to the industry. With this in mind we are very proud to announce we are the first events company in the UK to offer an on-site rapid testing service for COVID-19 in as little as 15 minutes, which, we believe, is a complete game changer. Swallow Events also offers consulting services for enabling events in various sectors in line with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). More info here.

Fresh off dropping his explosive collaborative track “Awake” with FaZaD and a remix for DJ King, Hong Kong-based producer and songwriter Jaxis is back with his first solo original this year, coming to bedroom-based label Esc. Records to
share “Whatcha Need.” Aiming to bring the best of Hong Kong’s electronic music to the world, Jaxis has crafted a unique production style, tirelessly working on a lot of exciting music that he’ll be releasing soon.
“Whatcha Need” is arguably one of his best tunes to date, a soulful yet aggressive house gem that is keeping us on our toes throughout. Starting off with a groovy bassline and funky vocals, the tune slowly builds up into a captivating buildup. The drop explodes with the help of gritty sound design and heavy drum work, a perfect example of Jaxis’ ability to create engaging house gems.

Following a run of 2020 singles and remixes, the bass music legend will reemerge early next year to bring us a brand new body of work titled .wav. The 16-track album has no official tracklist yet, but we can expect recent releases including “You & I” featuring Kata Kozma and “Sink Your Teeth In” featuring Drowsy to show up. Flux Pavilion shook the dubstep scene with his 2013 Blow the Roof EP, and again in 2015 with his debut album Tesla. His classic “I Can’t Stop” remains a go-to dubstep anthem and his discography includes plenty of timeless cuts including “Bass Cannon,” “Catch Me featuring Naaz, “Emotional,” and more. Flux reveals .wav is due out January 21, 2021. It’s a safe bet that the vast majority of the bass community will stop what they’re doing and listen as soon as the album drops.

Now, he returns with a glistening orbital listening experience featuring Taylr Renee, “Follow The Vibe.” Combining some elevated elements of space bass, breakbeat, and glitch, “Follow The Vibe” starts with the dreamy vocals of Renee and a calming melody. The first drop is LSDREAM’s typical space bass with massive emphasis on the space, leaving huge amounts of it between bass synths. Devoid of melody, it’s like floating aimlessly in the void. Next up, he adds a bit of glitch hop to the mix with some chopped up percussion and stabs, always adding melody in later to bring it back to ground. Finally, he brings breakbeat into the mix with some vivacious drums that add another layer of complexity and variety to the whole journey. The beautiful melodic breakdown at the end is also well worth the listen as it ties everything up wonderfully. Listen below, out now on Wakaan!
