As more and more artists and promoters look for new ways to connect with fans in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the live concert industry continues its transformation into something wholly different than it was just a few months ago. In an announcement that sounds more like a Black Mirror promo, dubstep maven Carnage has just announced that he is headlining “Road Rave,” a drive-in music festival in Orlando, Florida. Joining Carnage on the bill are fellow bass heavyweights Riot Ten, Nitti Gritti, GRAVEDGR, and Blunts & Blondes. Can you imagine the adrenaline-fueled, car-honking riot that is going to ensue when these trap and dubstep kingpins throw down? The show does, of course, come with some social distancing guidelines. For example, all cars must...

Inside ZHU’s New Afterhours Virtual Rave: “Club ZHUM” Had Us Workin’ for It
Yesterday’s preview of ZHU‘s new livestreaming party, Club ZHUM, certainly fit its billing as an “afterhours virtual rave.” With fuzzy, retro visuals broadcasting the producer from “inside” an old school television screen through Zoom, the performance was low-tech but high-energy, bringing us back to the dark, sweaty days of warehouse clubbing. Grungy and exclusive, the set was announced in classic ZHU style through a cryptic Monday night Instagram Story and an email sent to fans just before it began. Only 500 made it from the waiting room into the stream on a first come first serve basis, where they were treated to unreleased tracks and suspenseful deep house grooves. There was also an exclusive link to a “Club ZHUM” T-shirt on sa...

Sam Feldt, Vini Vici, BEAUZ, and More to DJ at In-Game Minecraft Music Festival Celebrating Class of 2020
The impact of COVID-19 effectively harpooned the live music industry, but perhaps even more devastating was its crippling effect on the education sector. College seniors, who were forced to make the difficult transition to fully online courses, sadly found themselves worrying not about whether or not their gown fits, but whether or not they’ll be able to wear it at all. As graduations across the world continue to tragically bite the dust, robbing seniors of a moment they worked tirelessly for over the course of their entire lives, many are trying to fill the void with virtual events. Such is the case with a group of lionhearted students and alumni from UC Berkeley, who recently announced Blockeley Music Festival, a major in-game Minecraft music festival jointly hosted ...

Deadmau5, Dillon Francis, and Steve Aoki Take Over Fortnite’s Party Royale
While many have adapted to virtual concerts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for more than a year, Fortnite has been a driving force in the simulated concert world. Last year, Epic Games’ behemoth flagship product hosted the most ambitious video game and music crossover to date in the form of a giant interactive performance from Marshmello. Fast forward one year later and EDM fans were treated to performances from not one, but three of the genre’s biggest stars. deadmau5, Steve Aoki, and Dillon Francis took the helm for the newest in-game concert experience, “Party Royale,” and the video game publication IGN captured footage of the entire event and shared it for all to enjoy.
