This is Ibiza is a brand new and behind the scenes look at Ibiza, out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime. The sun soaked Balearic Island is the dance music capital of the world, where hedonism and world class clubbing experiences collide in a place of stunning natural beauty. Three years in the making by Directors Jody Hall and Mindaugas Volkis and hosted by Jermaine Whitehead-Bailey, you can watch a trailer for the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN–xj_ii9k&feature=youtu.be
This is Ibiza is a unique window into a fantasy-like paradise that really conveys the magic of the island, how it became what it is and what it is like to be there. This immersive and authentic new film will take you on a special tour to one of the most famous (and infamous) islands in the entire world, where an extraordinary mix of night-life hedonism and spiritual evolution create a unique culture of dance, music and love.
With its mega clubs, breathtaking villas, once in a lifetime nights out, white sand beaches, world famous sunset parties and woodland hideaways, Ibiza has got a lot of negative press and media exposure, good and bad, over the years. This new film has a firm focus on the ever present spirit of freedom, love and music that made the electronic music explosion possible here, and then around the world. The White Isle is where it all started and is one of the few places on the planet where diversity does not bring conflict. All people are in harmony and truly coexist in true harmony.
This fascinating new film consists of insightful interviews with the owners of the biggest brands and venues here as well as the new businesses. The likes of Elrow, Defected, Pacha, O Beach Ibiza, Chuckie, The Zoo Project, Sam Divine, Marco V, Darius Syrossian, Nick Warren, Lovely Laura, Eden Ibiza, Ibiza Club News, Café del Mar Ibiza, ANANESWORLD, DJ Sneak, Judge Jules, Pikes Ibiza and many more all feature.
There are also voices such as the locals, upcoming DJs, music loving clubbers and the VIP clientele who have all been involved in Ibiza’s evolution and rich story over the years. Interviews are illustrated with the activities inside the clubs, retreats, nature, boat trips and plenty more to give a real sense of history past and present. The whole film has a majestic melodic house vibe and the majority of the documentary soundtrack comes from talented Scottish producer and Ibiza resident James iD.
This is Ibiza is out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime with a launch party on June 5th at Sunset Ibiza in San Antonio.

named www.fazemag.dewhich is providing daily news, interviews, event tips, charts and columns about electronic music. While the main office is based in Wuppertal, we are also operating a second office located in Cologne.

The team behind 1001Tracklists recently announced the launch of Songstats, a cross-platform music analytics service for artists, labels, and industry professionals. Songstats is a mobile-first data solution that delivers important insights in real time. Currently tracking data from Spotify, Apple Music, Shazam, Beatport, Traxsource, iTunes, SoundCloud and 1001Tracklists, Songstats offers a comprehensive picture of the performance of each release.
The Songstats platform is a powerful tool that enables creators to save time and capitalize on their success. Subscribers receive push notifications when their tracks are added to major playlists, reach new milestones, and chart in different territories and genres. Custom artworks can automatically be generated and shared directly to Instagram, allowing artists to create momentum, celebrate accomplishments with their fans, and recognize supporters.
Songstats can now announce that they have also integrated with Deezer as well tracking charts with Beatport. The latter will track analytics with new activities showing up in the feed that will be delivered via push notifications.
The app can now announce their brand new features which came in to play this month.
Songstats: Product Update – May 2020
New Deezer Integration, Activity Settings, Beatport Release Charts & more…
New Data Integration: Deezer
As one of the most requested data sources, we’re proud to announce the full implementation of Deezer into Songstats. Deezer’s extensive API allows for a complete integration, including playlist positions, charts, follower numbers and popularity. After the initial aggregation we are now tracking data for over 1,000,000 songs and 200,000 playlists, with more being added every day.
New Product Feature: Activity Settings
Songstats is a platform for all artists and labels. It’s important to acknowledge that at different stages of a career, key metrics shift and certain data points become more important than others. In order for Songstats to be a helpful tool for profiles of all sizes, we are introducing new Activity Settings that allow users to set custom filters for their artist and label subscriptions.
Activity Settings apply across both the activity feed and push notifications and are unique to each member of a team. An additional toggle allows for filtering by only recent tracks, limiting the feed to only display activities of songs released in the past 3 months.
Beatport Release Charts & Features
We are now tracking both the Beatport Release Charts as well as Feature placements across all genres. These include Banners, New Releases, Staff Picks & Hype Picks. There are two new tabs for these categories in the track analytics, and new activities are showing up in the feed and will be delivered via push notifications.
Stability Improvements: iOS & Android
Some users have been reporting concerns in regards to receiving push notifications, confirming subscriptions, and experiencing occasional app crashes. We’ve updated the main framework and SDKs to address these issues and just released version 2.1 which is now available and recommended to be installed by all iOS and Android users.
House of Tracks today announces a brand new website with many new features including a filter based search engine and a custom upload system, and it is already dealing with an 85% increase in daily track submissions as people turn to music for solace in these unprecedented times. The unique platform is now the largest supplier of royalty free dance music limited to one copy, and is providing vital ways for producers to monetise their work in essential new ways.
In recent weeks, producers have had more time to make music, and making music is a welcome creative outlet in these difficult times. Well-known names are making more music as well. Unable to perform at festivals and events, they’re discovering that they’re able to generate a good income through House of Tracks.
Because of this, in the last few weeks House of Tracks’s offering has increased 85%. It turns out people do need music after all. What they provide is royalty-free electronic dance music, created by talented producers from all over the world. What began six years ago as a ghost producer platform that mainly served DJs has grown into a worldwide supplier of royalty-free music for various industries. The gaming industry, advertising agencies, YouTubers, video editors and program makers have all found their way to the platform. Talented producers, from ambitious boys and girls in their attics to established names with their own studios use House of Tracks to sell their music.
Music can be used for DJs and producers, YouTubers, the gaming industry, advertising, festival anthems, ghost producing, and even for movies and TV series. All tracks are checked by hand and finger printed (identified and matched by DJ monitors and its database with over 80 million tracks). All producers have to be approved through auditioning in order to start selling their tracks on House of Tracks. With that quality assurance process, producers are carefully screened so you can always be sure of high quality, unique tracks that are all limited to one copy.
