BLOODSTOCK welcomes MESHUGGAH and HELLOWEEN

by

BLOODSTOCK is renowned for being for the fans, by the fans. HQ listens hard all year round to which bands BLOODSTOCKers want to see at the festival, so this announcement is sure to be a crowd pleaser, adding two of the most heavily requested acts as a new main stage headliner and as a special guest.  If that seals the deal for ordering your tickets, don’t forget the ticket deposit scheme has now launched, letting you spread payment over six instalments. Without further ado… 

BLOODSTOCK’s Saturday night Ronnie James Dio main stage headliner will be the most excellent, Swedish tech metal legends MESHUGGAH; their very first time headlining the festival.  If you’ve never caught them live before, you are in for a treat. Come and see why they are so respected!  The band’s most recent album ‘Immutable’ landed earlier this year, spawning the epic video for ‘I Am That Thirst’, which you can check out here.

Secondly, the revered German power metallers HELLOWEEN, swoop into Sunday’s main stage special guest spot. Check out their video for ‘Best Time’ – taken from last year’s self-titled album – which features a guest appearance from Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz. Markus Grosskopf, bass player & founding member of HELLOWEEN, can’t wait and explains why… “Playing the UK is always something special for us. Back in 1989, the energy and dedication of the British fans was the decisive reason for us to record our first live album ‘Live in the UK’ there, instead of any other country in the world. Our headlining shows in May 2022 once more proved why the UK is the cradle of metal!”

You can also now sign up for the very popular ticket Deposit Scheme!  With payments spread across 6 monthly instalments, it makes it more manageable to pay for your weekend ticket. An initial payment of £34.50 is due upon sign up (which you can do at any time before 21st Feb), then five additional payments of £27.50 will debit your bank account on 28 Mar, 28 Apr, 29 May, 28 Jun, with a final instalment on 28 Jul. Sign up to the scheme here.

In case you missed it, the grass roots music-supporting METAL 2 THE MASSES 2023 programme has begun! If you’re a self-released or unsigned band, throw your hat in the ring to land a slot on BLOODSTOCK’s New Blood stage next August. Regions include MERSEYSIDE (Liverpool), BURNLEY, OXFORD, EAST ANGLIA (Norwich), NORTHANTS (Northampton), CHELTENHAM, BIRMINGHAM, CHESTERFIELD, NORTHERN IRELAND (Belfast), REPUBLIC OF IRELAND (Dublin), SHEFFIELD, HITCHIN, MANCHESTER, MILTON KEYNES, BOURNEMOUTH, LEEDS, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ESSEX (Colchester), KENT (Gravesend), BRISTOL, NORTH WALES (Wrexham), LEICESTER, STOKE ON TRENT, SOUTH WALES (Cardiff), NOTTINGHAM, DEVON & CORNWALL (Saltash), SCOTLAND (heats locally, final in Edinburgh), and LONDON. Not only that, this year, BLOODSTOCK also welcomes back POLAND and NORWAY events and is thrilled to bring in the former Yugoslavia countries, which will be hosting inaugural heats in SLOVENIA, CROATIA, SERBIA and MACEDONIA. The final will be held at the Lomljenje Metalom Open Air event in Croatia.  Full details of all venues and who to contact to enter in each region, can be found here or on Facebook. Heats kick off very soon – apply NOW so you don’t miss out!

London based Henri Bergmann’s brand new compilation for Renaissance lands at Apple Music 

by

Soundcloud Instagram Facebook

Listen

Henri Bergmann’s trajectory in 2022 has been nothing short of stratospheric; whether remixing for, or by, Echonomist, Mia Mendi, Johnathan Kaspar, Dee Montero and Murat Uncuoglu (to name but a few); collaborating with Biesmans or touring the globe, she’s swiftly moved to the apex of dance music’s creative illuminati.

Now she delivers her first mixed compilation for Renaissance, a clubbing bastion who are synonymous with the format. “It’s a pleasure and honour to take on this mix for Renaissance,” she says, “They know a thing or two about what makes a comp’ work in this style and genre so the pressure was on to deliver. The mix is an eloquent snapshot of recent favourites, current and future bombs and, of course, a few of my own productions for good measure!”

True to her word, Henri kicks the mix off with her gorgeous rework of Dee Montero’s ‘Solena’ and then proceeds to swiftly shift through the gears over the course of the next hour. Along the way she features Adriatique, Denis Horvat, WhoMadeWho, Toto Chiavetta, Final Request and more; even her very latest single, the Tale Of Us championed ‘Simulacrum’ is woven into the deft soundscape. “It’s always a challenge and self-debate over what, and what not to include, but overall, I had real fun putting it together. I hope people enjoy it,” she happily concludes.

Tracklist:
1 ) Dee Montero – Solena (Henri Bergmann Remix)
2 ) White Label
3 ) Toto Chiavetta – Automation
4 ) Henri Bergmann, Wennick – Simulacrum
5 ) Henri Bergmann, Biesmans – Mind Control (Echonomist Remix)
6 ) Daniele Di Martino – Prometheus
7 ) WhoMadeWho – Silence & Secrets (Adriatique Remix)
8 ) Avangart Tabldot – Jaxa
9 ) Dor Danino – Who’s The mother
10 ) Denis Horvát – Cha Cha
11 ) White Label
12 ) Final Request – The Ultimate

ARTBAT join forces with Argy & Zafrir to deliver new single “Tibet” on UPPERGROUND

by

After the huge collaboration with David Guetta and Idris Elba, ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND welcome Argy and Zafrir to the label, where all together they create the rousing and mystical single ‘Tibet’.

Listen

Order Link

ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND continue to deliver music that fits perfectly for the dance floor and for listening alike. The label has now had several showcases in Tulum, Amsterdam and Barcelona, with a return to Tulum in the works for New Year Eve and further showcases incoming in 2023, it’s clear that ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND are truly resonating with listeners and dancers..

If you cast your mind back to 5 years ago, ARTBAT released ‘Tabu’ on HOSH’s Fryhide, and for the new release the Ukrainian duo collaborate with Argy and Zafrir to create a ‘Tibet’, which flows in a similar aesthetic of driving esoteric grooves.

‘Tibet’ is an authoritative and alluring track with all the power that you would expect ARTBAT and Argy, and when they bring in Zafrir’s unique touch, this becomes a track that will transport you away to far Eastern lands.

Using mystical chants, hypnotic lead arps, this takes you on a journey of introspection where each person will take their own path on the voyage of music that is called Tibet….

Artist(s): ARTBAT, Argy, Zafrir
Title: Tibet
Record Label: UPPERGROUND

Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot join Reinier Zonneveld on his own Filth on Acid label

by

Reinier Zonneveld is back on his own unstoppable Filth On Acid label on an EP that welcomes towering techno talents Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot.

Listen Here

Order Link

First up We Are the Brave label head Alan Fitzpatrick pairs off with the mighty Reset Robot for Acid Texture which is all banging drums and synths fired out of a machine gun. The percussion is supersized and the lashings of acid will rip up any dance floor. Reinier Zonneveld then steps up with Reset Robot for Desolate, which is built on powerful and dusty breakbeats as edgy synth stabs rise up through the mix, and the drums then get hard edge and marching. It’s a powerful track of unsettling techno futurism. Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot then join up for final cut Caterpillarwhich is built on a wonky and meandering acid line, with chattery percussion and manic acid, flashes of strobe, and plenty of manic techno intensity.

This is another quality release from Filth on Acid.

Title: Sonic Texture x Desolate
