Acclaimed producer Jade Cicada is celebrated for captivating audiences with his distinctive soundscapes. He is known for blending intricate electronic beats with jazz influences. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Cicada honed his skills in jazz theory and sound design. Using these foundations, he is able to push creative boundaries and craft complex, sophisticated compositions. This unique fusion of elements has made Jade Cicada’s sound both innovative and unmistakably recognizable.
Nearly two years ago, he released his widely acclaimed LP Pressure Gamut and has since remained quiet—until last week’s release of his new track, “Frame Shift.” This release is significant due to the time between projects and because it marks a shift in Jade Cicada’s music production as he transitions from Ableton to Bitwig.
“This tune [Frame Shift] was heavily inspired by beat scene type music of the early 2010s,” said Jade Cicada. “Sunclef’s 2011 tune “Droski” is definitely the biggest influence in the direction of ‘Frame Shift.’ I’ve been wanting to make music in that style but with a heavier bass/dance production to it for a long time. A goal of mine is to make more melodically and harmonically driven boom-bappy bangers like this one.”
“Frame Shift“ offers listeners a glimpse of Jade Cicada’s signature style while showcasing a more mature, polished sound. It pushes boundaries and hints at the exciting future of his music. The single explores glitch-heavy beats layered with ethereal melodies and rich synths. Using Bitwig has also added a fresh and dynamic dimension to his production.
Jade Cicada is also launching the highly anticipated ‘Break The Hold’ tour in 2025. The tour will span nine dates and feature two rare festival appearances—his return to Electric Forest and a debut at Lightning In A Bottle. Break The Hold promises to deliver immersive live performances that blend intricate audio design with stunning visuals. Renowned visual artist Tenorless will be bringing Jade’s sonic landscapes to life. A powerhouse lineup of supporting acts, including EPROM, Resonant Language, Cool Customer, Mr. Carmack, and Mad Zach, will further elevate the experience.
This tour marks a bold new chapter in his career, highlighting his dedication to delivering unforgettable, boundary-pushing performances. Stay up to date on Jade Cicada’s music and grab tickets for his upcoming tour through the links below.
Year 2 of Apocalypse: Zombieland took place on the Queen Mary over Thanksgiving weekend, and it did not disappoint. From an amazing apocalyptic layout and zombies roaming around the festival grounds to afterparties until 5 am and enough bass to shake your soul, Year 2 took the event to another level.
Apocalypse: Zombieland was an epic experience on the waterfront with the Queen Mary in the background. When the subwoofers roared, the zombies hit the floor. Brains were taken, necks were broken, and heads were banged. The bass was filthy and woke even the most decayed zombie from the dead. Destruction among the mosh pits left festivalgoers as bruised as the zombies themselves. Survival depends on problem-solving, decision-making, auditory sensory processing, and spatial awareness skills. Ultimately, there are two options: defeat the zombies or risk becoming one of them.
The “Apocalypse Trading Post” was a crucial stop for anyone trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. It offered a mix of supplies, including candy, deodorant, sunglasses, and vapes. Apocalypse survivors could get airbrush tattoos and prepare for battle with @pashurbodyart zombie face paintings.
The festival had four stages. The Lab featured more up-and-coming artists. Containment Zone featured the drum and bass. Apocalypse and Zombieland were the two main stages.
The Lab was stationed between two shipping containers between the Apocalypse and Zombieland stages. If you were walking from stage to stage it was almost impossible not to stop and headbang along the way. With a unique stage, crazy lights, and unmatched energy throughout the night, The Lab was one of the coolest stages at the festival. Featuring names like Alienpark, Shiverz, and A Hundred Drums b2b Coki, this was an amazing stage.

The Containment Zone was the first stage when walking into the festival grounds. With pillars of visuals, crazy pyrotechnics, and drum and bass all weekend, this stage had the most insane energy. Graced with names like Dimension, Hybrid Minds, and the most unsuspecting but amazing b2b of the weekend, Andy C b2b Deadmau5, The Containment Zone was the place for every DnB fan.
Apocalypse was located next to the water and had an amazing view of downtown Long Beach. The stage had a giant border of zombies looking like they were crawling out of it, huge square visuals, and a lot of fireworks throughout the night. Apocalypse hosted sets from Marauda, Barclay Crenshaw, Tape B, and Crankdat.
The final stage was Zombieland, located next to the Queen Mary and with a great VIP view deck from atop the Queen Mary. The main stage had a giant zombie head at the top with a portal of visuals underneath it. This stage had it all: crazy pyrotechnics, lasers, lights for days, fireworks, and some of the biggest names in bass music. Level Up, Black Tiger Sex Machine, and Svdden Death: Voyd. Subtronics closed the stage Night 1 and Excision closed it down on Night 2. It was the biggest of the four stages and was packed with headbangers and zombies all weekend.
If there were any chances of survival, it would be aboard The Queen Mary. The afters are always the place to be. If the bass didn’t stop the zombie apocalypse, the world was saved after Jessica Audiffred and Riot Ten, Bear Grillz, RZKRT b2b Vastive, Kompany b2b SampliFire, and Tape B’s mercilessness.
It may only be the second year of Apocalypse: Zombieland, but mark off the calendars every year after Thanksgiving. Plans have now changed. It’s time to be a part of the zombie apocalypse and save the world with bass music. Prepare for survival with all things Apocalypse: Zombieland using the links below.
Year after year, Dreamstate SoCal continues to bring the best vibes. This year was no different. From the production to impeccable crowds, even a little rain couldn’t bring down the energy at the Queen Mary.

Dreamstate seems to have settled into its home at the Queen Mary, after last year’s move from the NOS Event Center in San Bernardino, CA. The slightly expanded footprint helped alleviate some traffic issues, and the stages never felt too crowded in both GA and VIP. While some walkways were still a bit congested, especially between set transitions, the festival remained easy enough to navigate. Shuttles were efficient to and from the venue, and after party access was a breeze.
Even though the rain made it difficult to find somewhere dry to sit on day two, the amenities were still on point. A multitude of food options ensured no raver went hungry, and bars were easily accessible near every stage. Water stations were easy to find and not too crowded.

Additionally, production this year was knocked out of the park. The festival grounds were decked out with art installations and decor, improving upon last year which was more bare bones. The stages had no shortage of lasers and pyro, and were artistically designed to perfectly fit the trance vibe. Sound quality all weekend was excellent with no glaring issues. The after-party stages truly gave an intimate feel, and made every set seem like an exclusive experience.
The Dreamstate lineup never misses, and each and every artist brought their A-game. The top-tier sets coupled with impeccable productions curated an exemplary trance experience that left the crowd wowed.

Overall, the thing that stands out about Dreamstate is the crowd. It’s almost impossible to find a friendlier, more polite group at any other festival. The trance community is dedicated to creating a positive and uplifting environment, and Dreamstate was a shining example of this. People generally gave each other plenty of space in the crowds, said excuse me, and overall looked out for their neighbor. There was an abundance of smiles, and it seemed like everyone was willing to make friends wherever they went. The nature of trance music is truly embraced at Dreamstate, where everyone is welcome to be their truest self and let loose.

Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Orlando once again transformed Tinker Field into a neon wonderland of music, art, and energy from November 8 to November 10, 2024. Thousands of attendees flocked to this three-day celebration, featuring a star-studded lineup that only EDC can pull off with electronic titans like Tiesto, Illenium, and John Summit alongside fan favorites such as Zeds Dead, Carl Cox, and Amelie Lens. With five massive stages, art installations, carnival rides, and immersive VIP experiences, EDC Orlando 2024 proved to be a dazzling showcase of electronic music’s finest.

Festival Grounds Fit for a Fantasy
The festival grounds were nothing short of enchanting, with classic EDC neon carnival rides and installations teleporting attendees to a futuristic world. Moving through the space was effortless, thanks to a well-planned layout with multiple pathways between stages that mitigated most congestion aside from peak sets. The layout split the main stages into pairs, making it a breeze to bounce between performances at kineticFIELD and neonGARDEN or circuitGROUNDS and stereoBLOOM. Dividing these pairs were installations like Polygon Park and the smaller casaBACARDI stage. Each stage had a unique design tailored to its musical vibe: kineticFIELD’s gothic grandeur captivated with towering columns and enormous LED displays reminiscent of cathedral windows, while the more intimate neonGarden created a dark and atmospheric techno haven. The use of shipping containers to mitigate sound bleed between stages proved very successful as this was never a problem. Essentials like water stations and restrooms were plentiful and well-placed, and VIP areas at kineticFIELD and circuitGROUNDS provided elevated viewing platforms, shorter lines, and even interactive activities like kandi making and trinket trading, adding to the festival’s charm.

Friday: A Dynamic Start
The festival kicked off with high-energy performances like YDG and Jon Casey, setting the tone for the weekend. Much of our day was spent bouncing between circuitGROUNDS and stereoBLOOM where we caught a great variety of standout performances. Max Styler‘s fiery tech house ramped up the energy as the sun went down over stereoBLOOM, building perfectly into Odd Mob‘s unique and dynamic blend of genres that propelled him to fame. Another jaw-dropping performance was when Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi brought their high-powered dubstep project Skull Machine to circuitGROUNDS, a surprise that was announced that same morning. The day climaxed with epic closing sets from Australian superstar Fisher leaving kineticFIELD losing it, to Zeds Dead capitulating the heavy-hitting Bassrush takeover at circuitGROUNDS, and a masterclass of deep grooves and hypnotic techno by Carl Cox B2B Vintage Culture ending the Factory 93 Experience takeover at neonGARDEN. We closed our night at stereoBLOOM, hosted by Insomniac Records, where Waxtroda (Wax Motif B2B Matroda) set the dance floor ablaze with an infectious mix of house bangers. After all this, our time at EDC had only just begun.

Saturday: A Spellbinding Midway
The magic continued on Saturday with stellar performances across every stage. This day definitely brought the largest crowd and the most schedule conflicts. It featured highlights like a wildly fun Dillon Francis B2B Disco Lines set on kineticFIELD, the soulful afro energy of Amémé B2B Honeyluv on stereoBLOOM, and a wonk-heavy bass performance by Boogie T on circuitGROUNDS. To close the festival, the iconic Tiesto left kineticFIELD in a state of euphoria, The Martinez Brothers brought neonGarden to a groove the way only they know to do, while the talented Cloone closed stereoBLOOM. We made our way to circuitGROUNDS where Bassrush brought the bass once more, with Ganja White Knight closing the stage in a set filled with intricate visuals and bone-rattling drops.

Sunday: A Magical Finale
Sunday delivered a climactic end to the weekend, with performances that kept the energy soaring until the final beat. We were especially thrilled with the epic Worship (Sub Focus B2B Dimension B2B Culture Shock B2B 1991) set at kineticFIELD which marked the first DnB performance on that stage, an exhilarating Fly With Us (AC Slater B2B Chris Lorenzo) session that led perfectly into Worship, and a rip-roaring performance from SIDEPIECE on circuitGROUNDS that kept fans on their toes. The last day had a variety of top-notch closing acts that made it difficult to choose. The most popular choice, John Summit did not disappoint with his masterclass at circuitGROUNDS, while Amelie Lens brought her dark, pulsing techno to neonGarden, and ATB took stereoBLOOM attendees on a nostalgic trance journey. We decided to close the night at kineticFIELD where Illenium took the crowd on an emotional rollercoaster of melodic bass as the fireworks and drones lit up the night sky.

Until then, THANK YOU HEADLINERS!
From October 31 to November 2, 2024, Miami’s Hocus Pocus festival summoned revelers to the enchanted grounds of Factory Town for a Halloween celebration like no other. With a spellbinding lineup of 75+ DJs, including techno sorceress Charlotte De Witte, electrifying genre-blender Odd Mob, and melodic maestros Artbat, this three-night dance marathon bewitched attendees with non-stop beats, eerie attractions, and an atmosphere dripping with supernatural charm. From sunset to sunrise, dance music lovers enjoyed a spooktacular arrangement of the best in music.
The Park Stage
A Bewitching First Impression
The festival’s magic was palpable from the very start. Entry was as smooth as a broomstick ride under the full moon, with both GA and VIP attendees breezing through the gates. Inside, Factory Town was transformed into a haunted playground, with giant multicolored floating eyeballs, skeletal figures, severed mannequins, and more frights casting spooky shadows across the venue. Vendors lined the corridors like merchants at a supernatural bazaar, offering everything from enchanting costumes and crafts to delectable potions (aka food and drinks). The clever layout of the stages allowed for seamless exploration while the warehouse walls and shipping containers created mystical barriers that kept the soundscapes distinct and immersive at each stage.
The Infinity Room Stage
Spellbinding Stages
Each stage had its own personality, enchanting the crowd in its unique way. The Infinity Room, the festival’s main stage, was a witchy masterpiece designed to look like an abandoned mansion, its ghostly grandeur illuminated by mesmerizing lights and lasers. This vast, open-air dance floor became the epicenter of energy as acts like Artbat, Ben Sterling, and the magical duo of Cassian B2B Kevin De Vries conjured unforgettable performances. Meanwhile, the Park Stage exuded dark, thumping energy with its curved screen of filtered live visuals of the performer and a steel and mesh canopy that felt like dancing under a witch’s spell. It was the perfect cauldron for techno wizards like Charlotte De Witte, Eli Brown B2B Lilly Palmer, and Indira Paganotto to unleash their sonic sorcery.
The Espacio Proximo Stage
Intimate Enchantments
The smaller stages, Espacio Proximo and Cypress End, cast their own intimate charms. Espacio Proximo, a glowing pergola tucked beneath a tree canopy, became an oasis of rhythm. With Funktion-One sound and a sprinkling of lasers, it hosted entrancing sets from artists like Francis Mercier B2B NiteFreak, LF System, and Amémé, blending Latin, Afro, and disco magic into the mix. At the edge of the venue, Cypress End lured wanderers in with its triangular LED tube stage nestled amid tropical palms. Underneath the creepy floating chandeliers and twinkling lasers, dancers moved to a mystical blend of minimal, Latin, and tech house grooves from artists like Ky William, Josh Baker, and Wheats.
The Cypress End Stage
VIP Tattoo Parlor
A VIP Experience Fit for a Coven
For those seeking a touch of luxury, the VIP areas conjured up special delights. The VIP lounges were creatively designed with photobooths and unique amenities like a tattoo parlor. Infinity Room VIP offered an obstructed view from behind the performers that hit the cool factor of the backstage feeling but left some VIP patrons longing for more magic. For a more scenic view, VIP pass holders could climb the spiral stairs adjacent to a shipping container bar to find a spacious balcony platform with an overhead, albeit far away view of the stage. The Park VIP area was our favorite with its raised platform located to the side of the stage, providing spellbinding views of the performers, the crowd, and the hypnotic visuals. Adding to the festival’s mystique was the Nightmare-themed Haunted Warehouse, a chilling detour where costumed characters lurked around every corner, daring attendees to confront their darkest fears in an immersive, spine-tingling adventure.
The Park Stage VIP
Perfectly Timed Enchantments
The festival organizers truly worked their magic with the scheduling and spacing of acts. Sets were longer than conventional at 1.5 to 2 hours and staggered, allowing attendees to catch multiple performances without the frantic rush often seen at other events. With only 5 to 10 minutes between stages, it was easy to float from one spellbinding act to the next. This thoughtful planning ensured that crowd energy remained high, with fans fully immersed in the beats and atmosphere all weekend long.
Blackchild B2B Chasewest on the Infinity Room Stage
A Halloween to Remember

American drum and bass producer REAPER has had a huge 2024. He started the year with a Zeds Dead collab “Back Bus,” and then in March, a new seven-track album, CHALLENGER, on Bassrush.

REAPER was in fine form in NYC, whipping the crowd into a dancing frenzy as fans surrounded his stage for a long night of drum and bass. The 360 setup commanded attention at the center of the dance floor and helped keep the energy up all night long. Along for support at the Brooklyn stop was Rebel Scum, who some may remember as a collaborator on THE PULSE #013, REAPER’s hour-long DnB guest mix series.
REAPER is nearing the end of his Challenger tour, but there are still a few dates left, including four stops this week in Washington DC, Las Vegas, Costa Mesa, and Sacramento, before his tour finale in Salt Lake City on December 7.

DJ/producer longstoryshort has unveiled his groundbreaking EP, IN MY MIND, on Insomniac’s NIGHTMODE label. The EP delves into themes of light and dark, building on a year of major career milestones, including a collaboration with Dillon Francis on “Take Me Away,” an official remix of The Bloody Beetroots and Steve Aoki’s “Warp 1.9,” and two official remixes for Odesza. Since his launch in 2019, longstoryshort has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged norms, with IN MY MIND offering an innovative glimpse into his bright future.
“IN MY MIND EP is a journey through the dual sides of my music and personal experiences,” said longstoryshort. “Dark Mode [first half] brings out that raw, heavy-energy, side of me that leans into harder sounds and unfiltered intensity, while Light Mode [second half] explores a softer, emotional side, giving space to reflect and feel. Together, they offer a full view into my world, and I hope listeners connect with these tracks as a soundtrack to their own highs, lows, and everything in between.”
The IN MY MIND EP by longstoryshort is a dynamic blend of genres and emotions, designed to suit any setting, from club nights to introspective moments. It opens with “INTRO (DARK MODE),” a cinematic prelude that leads into the explosive bass house energy of the title track, “IN MY MIND.” The momentum continues with “IJUSTWANNA,” a collaboration with SPORTMODE, merging UK garage, drum & bass, and electrifying sirens. A brief pause comes with “interlude (light mode),” seamlessly transitioning the EP’s second half.
The second half brings depth and emotion, starting with “take the fall (don’t let it stop you),” a chill, melodic track with a hypnotic bassline. The EP concludes with “part of me,” an emotional finale combining heartfelt lyrics and dreamy production. With IN MY MIND, longstoryshort showcases his versatility and storytelling, offering an immersive, multi-sensory experience.
The IN MY MIND EP is just the start of an exciting chapter for longstoryshort, showcasing his ability to push boundaries and captivate listeners with his unique sound. If you want to experience his music live or stay updated on future releases, don’t miss his headlining shows on November 21 at Barboza in Seattle, WA, and February 22 at Dark Star in Tempe, AZ.

Drum and bass king Seba officially dropped his sixth studio album, Oni, on Spearhead Records.

With Oni, Seba crafts a forward-thinking album that paves the way for an exciting path into the future, blending evolution with his signature sound to create an enduring experience for fans both old and new.
“I’ve been doing one-off releases for Spearhead since 2011,” said Seba. “Steve (BCee) and I talked a long time about doing an album for Spearhead, and after my 2022 album ‘Ingaro’ on my own label Secret Operations, it was about time to put another album together. Since my musical direction is quite diverse with releases ranging from Hospital records to Function records, I thought it would be good to do an album that reflects that diversity. This album has a bit of jungle, drum & bass, liquid, some darkness, some smoothness. All blended together with my signature sounds.”
Oni showcases Seba’s versatility as an artist, blending rich, soulful soundscapes with high-energy rhythms sure to ignite the dance floor. Jungle and DnB fans will be captivated by high-octane tracks like “Smoke,” “Oni,” “Slam,” and “Fake,” featuring sharp breaks and powerful basslines.

Last Friday, November 8, ALLEYCVT took over New York City’s historic Webster Hall for an epic show on her current “Feel It” Tour. The budding dubstep star brought along Capochino and Sharlitz Web for support.
Capochino got the party started at midnight and the NYC crowd quickly filled up the dance floor. Clearly, ALLEYCVT made some strong choices for support on this show because Webster Hall doesn’t typically fill up so quickly for the opener. Capochino slayed his set, playing a bunch of his signature flips as well as some familiar dubstep anthems from Subtronics. He finished with a few tunes featuring live vocals from a talented MC whose name I was not able to confirm in time for release.
Sharlitz Web took the stage at 1am, and the hall was nearly packed. Despite her more downtempo sound, she had the crowd whipped up in a dancing frenzy. There were even a few mosh pit sightings during Sharlitz’s set, which surely came as a surprise to me. I’ve rarely seen Webster Hall so engaged and excited for an EDM show, which is a testament to the talent and prowess of ALLEYCVT’s NYC lineup.
The star of the show took centerstage around 2am, and ALLEYCVT played hit after hit for her adoring fans. Her tour production looked great with rainbow-colored lasers complementing her LED graphics. She even teased a few new tracks and IDs from her upcoming debut EP. The crowd went completely bananas during her set, and the energy was electric. Not only were there multiple mosh pits throughout the set, but the crowd also opened an all-girls mosh pit.
Even when ALLEYCVT finished her 90-minute set at 3:30am, the New York crowd chanted for more. She played an encore before dashing off the stage. But those fans who stuck around a little bit longer were able to catch up with ALLEYCVT when she popped out of the green room at 3:45am. She met with dozens of fans, taking pictures, signing merch, and answering questions. She even received a few gifts, including a gorgeous pendant which was synced to an internet ID for authenticity.
ALLEYCVT still has another five weeks left on her “Feel It” Tour this fall, including two shows at Denver’s Ogden Theater to finish. Limited tickets are still available, so get yours now if you want to feel it, too! For all the latest news and announcements from ALLEYCVT, including updates about the release of her debut EP, be sure to follow her on social media using the links below.
Last weekend The OUTLAW, DJ Snake‘s new alias, sold out the historic Shrine in Downtown Los Angeles and turned it into a unique, immersive European style rave. With a 360 caged stage, dark techno beats, trap, and a slew of special guests, The OUTLAW’s LA debut was a pinnacle experience.
A stark difference from his typical DJ Snake sets–The OUTLAW set out to make his own name last weekend. The night was filled with heavy, dark techno beats, hard trap, lasers, and crazy lights. The crowd energy was unmatched from the opening song to the final epic b2b2b2b2b. The OUTLAW showcased his diversity throughout the night with flawless transitions from one style to the next and from drop to drop. At points he even remixed his own songs like “Let Me Love You” into a heavy techno beat that had the whole crowd shook.
The OUTLAW came out walking through the crowd like a UFC fighter on his way to the 360 caged stage in the middle of the crowd, giving the sold out crowd a great view of OUTLAW doing his thing and the ability to interact, party, and at times mosh with each other. He had what looked like medieval-era banners hung throughout the venue and above the DJ booth was his new logo, which features a red snake in the shape of an O with a sword through the middle.

In addition to The OUTLAW’s insane almost 2 hour set, he also brought surprise guests with him. He debuted a new song with the trap legend Flosstradamus that was absolute madness and we will be counting down the days until it is released. He then played b2b with the hard trap godfather himself SAYMYNAME for roughly 20 minutes, setting the crowd off to a different level. OUTLAW and SAYMYNAME both got on the mic to pump the crowd up for the epic finale. The 20 minute finale was a treat for everyone in the crowd. An epic b2b which featured The OUTLAW, SAYMYNAME, Flosstradamus, Wuki and more took over.
The OUTLAW has also announced his tour going from LA to NYC, Denver, Amsterdam, Berlin and many more cities throughout the country and world. You can now RSVP for the tour stop nearest you here. Do not miss this one of kind, immersive hard techno legend in the making and be prepared to use every ounce of energy you have. Follow along using the links below.
