Sven Väth Announces Two Exclusive Dates at Club Chinois Ibiza

Cocoon label head and global techno influencer Sven Väth’s is to play two exclusive dates at Ibiza’s all new Club Chinois. The world renowned DJ will play longer sets under the banner of Catharsis on 21st June and 27th September.
Arriving in February this year, Catharsis was German pioneer Sven Väth’s first solo album in almost 20 years. It is a record inspired by Sven’s interest in the physical and spiritual processes that take place when we dance and it shows he is still right at the sharp end of the techno scene. The stylistically diverse record captures all the essence of Väth’s many different sounds over the years from minimal to techno, electro to ambient.
It came on his vital Cocoon label which is also the name of his world famous parties in Ibiza. They introduced the island to techno more than 20 years ago and have always been its beating heart ever since. Sven is of course at the centre of it all as a DJ who can play for hours on end and always keep the crowd enthralled. His deep knowledge and mastery of musical storytelling across all forms of techno is second to none. For that reason, he is sure to make these two dates hugely special as he goes from big and euphoric sounds to stomping grooves, tough techno to more lush and melodic sounds. No trip to Ibiza is complete without seeing this master at work.
This year, he plays in a more intimate space than usual for the White Isle as the all new Club Chinois – which has taken over and fully redesigned what was HEART Ibiza – allows dancers to get up and close and personal. The space is bathed in lush gold tones, with cutting edge light and sound and stylish design to offer an all new kind of experience.
These special dates will see Sven play a couple of longer than normal and unmissable sets.

Club Chinois Ibiza Announces Trio of Innovative New Residencies From Luciano, THEMBA & Guy Gerber

The much anticipated opening of brand new Ibiza venue Club Chinois is just around the corner and today it announces three standout residencies for summer 2022. Playing across the season on a weekly basis will be world renowned stars Luciano on Saturdays, THEMBA presents Colours on Wednesdays and Guy Gerber presents Mirror Games on Sundays. These innovative new nights make Club Chinois the White Isle’s most unmissable new experience, with a cutting edge selection of headliners to be announced for each party in the coming days.

Club Chinois is from the team behind Park Chinois, London’s iconic Asian restaurant, and is a stylish new spot meticulously designed by award-winning Parisian design studio Laleh Assefi. Housed in the former HEART site and inspired by the decadent yet iniquitous jazz clubs of 1930’s, the venue mixes up old-world hospitality with world class service, production, light and sound and a tastefully curated series of residencies for its first season.

Global techno innovator and Cadenza label boss Luciano is to host Saturdays from 2nd July until 27th August. His weekly events will bring the best in underground talent to the club, with a rare intimate vibe and high class sound. His own sets will take centre stage and promise the sort of masterful grooves and Latin flair that have made the award winning Swiss-Chilean DJ and producer such a recognised superstar.

Sundays from 19th June until 9th October will be all about “Guy Gerber presents Mirror Games” , which is centred around the power of the mirror. Inspired by Anish Kupor and James Turrell, Mirror Games is a deeply personal project for Gerber who takes sole charge of the creative direction, bookings and artwork for this party himself. It’s a very human endeavour, with production reliant on hand made physical art rather than technology and every week, attendees will enter into a room full of mirrors; tinted, distorted, ancient and new, which will reflect our pain, pleasure, beauty and flaws. Hidden inside this hall of mirrors will be a special room that allows you to pass through the looking glass. Mirror Game members or token holders will step beyond the party, having access to curated digital art pieces, an ownership stake in a Gerber track and even a stake in the party itself. Will you come inside?

Wednesdays from 15th June 28th September will be “THEMBA presents Colours”, the pioneering South African artist who burst onto the dance scene in 2018 with a series of high-profile sets and music releases such as ‘Who Is THEMBA?’ which became a chart topping global smash. THEMBA’s sound is forged from his African roots, incorporating local singers, songwriters and percussionists to create his own unique take on electronic music and that will be reflected in the global house sounds he curates at his much anticipated new residency.

These three very different but equally vital residencies promise to bring untold musical pleasures to Club Chinois each and every week this summer. The final countdown is now on to Ibiza’s most talked about new opening.

Machinedrum to perform at Volta XR’s Showcase in New York City

https://volta-xr.link/ShowcaseLivestream
Location: The Standard, High line, 848 Washington St, New York, NY 10014
Date: Tuesday 7th June

Volta is a free, self-service XR creation platform that allows creators to construct and broadcast immersive experiences throughout the metaverse. Its much anticipated showcase event is at The Standard High line on Tuesday 7th June and features Ninja Tune artist, Machinedrum, performing an exclusive, hybrid virtual set wrapped around a live audience which will be live streamed to an online audience who will be able to have an impact on the virtual world in real time.

Volta is LEGOs for mixed reality and 3D visuals for artists, musicians and creators. It allows live streaming artists to use any audio source (desktop audio output, midi controllers, metadata, DAWS like Ableton Live or Logic Pro, etc) to automate various visual effects of the world, in sync with their music in real time — the first ever initiative of its kind.

Volta’s technology enables musicians, artists and creators to build and perform in 3D, audio reactive worlds for everything from live streams to the LED walls at a live show. They believe that the future of entertainment is not only immersive, but also interactive and participatory.

On the vision behind Volta, Volta CEO Alex Kane shares: “We at Volta don’t think anyone has gotten extended reality entertainment right yet. The only way this will happen is when enough artists have access to the tools. If a paintbrush cost $500k, then an artist would optimize their art to be about the money instead of the artistic expression – we aim to democratize these new tools so extended reality as an entertainment medium has true artistic merit.”

The launch event on June 7th will break new ground as it demonstrates how artists and their audiences, local and global, can make a genuinely unique collaborative performance mixed reality performances, liveAt the event, the screens which are wrapped around the audience will provide a hugely immersive experience in the audio reactive world that has been built, especially for this event that will showcase the potential of Volta’s innovative new technology.

The Standard High Line, with a rooftop bar and stunning views of Manhattan, is an ideal space to showcase the future of live entertainment. In addition to the ground-breaking technology on display, guests at the event will include artists, managers, labels and creatives from both the music and metaverse industries.

Featured artist Machinedrum is a restless and innovative underground mainstay. He has produced across a dizzying array of genres and has dipped his toe in the XR space with last year’s AV performance crafted over several months with renowned Computation Designer, Daito Manabe.

Moreover, Volta is partnering with world renowned music production and DJ school, Point Blank, at the event. Point Blank will be hosting the interactive livestream on their Youtube channel as well as running a collaborative contest with their students. The winner will be awarded the opening set before Machinedrum at the event.

This will be the first of many high profile events featuring Volta’s new audience interaction tools throughout the summer. That feature will be rolled into the product during Q3 of this year. By the end of the year Volta will not only democratize next level XR tools but global audience interaction and even provide a new revenue stream for artists whether they are performing on the top floor of The Standard or from their bedroom.

Vicious Launches 30 Year Celebration With Avicii & Sebastien Drums Remix from Don Diablo

The 30 Years of Vicious celebrations will continue over 2022 with remixes from Mark Knight, Joshwa, The Cube Guys, Sgt Slick, Pax, Mighty Mouse, Needs No Sleep, Super Disco Club, KPD, CASSIMM, Soul Central, Hotmood, and more.

Listen
Order

Kickstarting 30 Years of Vicious celebrations with over 20 new remixes of their biggest hits and club anthems from the world’s top artists. Leading the charge is Don Diablo, who is considered one of the planet’s hottest producers right now.

Don delivers an outstanding version of the iconic Avicii and Sebastien Drums hit “My Feelings For You”. Both Don Diablo and Vicious pledge all profits from this remix donated directly to the Tim Bergling Foundation in memory of Avicii and his ongoing legacy.

Don Diablo highlights “My Feelings For You” was the first Avicii record I came across twelve years ago. I have always been a fan of the original record by Cassius whom I had just remixed around that same time. So the record always held a special place in my heart, especially since both Tim and Zdar from Cassius are no longer with us.”
 
“Mental Health and losing important people have always been a big part of my personal journey in this life and I know many of us struggle with the same issues on a daily basis. I am happy to use my creativity together with the Vicious team to help the Tim Bergling Foundation in memory of Avicii to help make the world a better place, one small step at a time.”

Here, Don Diablo takes the former Beatport number 1 “My Feelings For You” into new territory with his trademark Future House style. Maintaining the core elements of the Avicii and Sebastien Drums classic, yet providing a fresh approach with searing hooks. Supporting this historic project, Don Diablo joins Vicious for a very special edition with all proceeds going to an amazing cause.

MOGA to showcase and release Original NFT Creation at MOGA Caparica

IG: @mogafestival
FB: @mogafestival

MOGA Festival, born in Essaouira and now also exported to Caparica near Lisbon, is to unveil its first and groundbreaking audio NFT on the industry-leading music platform Pianity. It takes the form of an all new and original audio recording of Maalem Omar Hayat x Parallells that was shot at the Non Fungible Conference in Lisbon on April 4th and 5th 2022 and included biometric brain sensors which measured emotional engagement of the artists while they played.

Prices start at 30€ for an audio only NFT and 150€ for a full audio and visual recording, and a film of the performance will be shown as part of the OFF MOGA Festival offerings and Maalem and his musicians will also play live once more at the main event at Reîa beach on Saturday June 3rd with Parallells.

The full audio live (24min) was recorded, mastered and minted overnight as an NFT available on Pianity. This NFT + video of the live performance was bought on a blind auction but kept secret to the public until MOGA this week.

During the recording of the exclusive Maalem Omar Hayat x Parallells performance, MOGA partnered with Mulabs (@muLabsDAO). They fit the artists with biometric brain sensors in order to extract their emotional engagement throughout the live show. They used EEG (Electroencephalography) biometric sensors like the Muse2 and the MuseS and MuLabs proprietary patch to extract the emotional reaction of the artists. Emotional Engagement is a metric of motivational approach or withdrawal from a stimuli and is computed by performing a ratio between the left and the right brain hemisphere alpha band frequency. This project is also part of a series of bioNFTs (biometric data Non-Fungible-Token) collection being launched by MuLabs by collaborating with a series of artists and festivals.

A film of the performance will be released for the first time during the festival and will be an immersive experience that takes place in the Pink Cave, a dark room linked to Palms Dr Bernard, on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd Juneduring MOGA’s two free parties which form part of the OFF offerings of the main festival. The video will be looped all night so can be enjoyed by festival goes at their own leisure. What’s more, Maalem and his musicians will be at the festival for a new special live performance with the Parallells duo on Friday 3rd June at Casa Reîa.

This move takes MOGA into the next chapter as it combines real world musical experiences with the latest internet technology. Ever since the acclaimed festival’s very first edition, it has fused electronic music and traditional music from Essaouira at every episode with headliners such as me, D.o.P, Stavroz and many more.

Going from a live showcase experience directly into a NFT in the digital world is something that has never been done before, until now. It is another evolution in this cutting edge festival which has always set up collaborative projects with electronic artists and traditional Moroccan musicians in the lead up to their main event.

This is just a first step from MOGA as they look to unlock new experiences for their tribe with web3 technology.
