Several of dance music’s biggest names are ready to celebrate “hyperbitcoinization” with performances to close out the upcoming Bitcoin 2022 Conference. Since the advent of Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, Miami has always been a cultural hub for dance music. In even more recent times, however, the city has positioned itself as the future crypto capital of the U.S. The effort has been fostered through the leadership of Miami’s Mayor Francis Suarez, who has opted to take his own salary in Bitcoin and has facilitated the creation of Miami’s own dedicated blockchain asset, MiamiCoin. Becoming the home to the annual Bitcoin Conference, the largest celebration of the world’s most popular digital asset has proved a boon to Miami’s rep...
On this week’s episode of SPIN Presents Lipps Service, host Scott Lipps caught up with alternative singer-songwriter K. Flay. In their conversation, Lipps and Flay go through a number of topics, including discussing her love of podcasts to her musical journey, which includes a collaboration with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello that dropped last week. Additionally, they talked about how Flay started rapping early on as almost a rap parody meeting socially conscious rap. She also discussed role models, including Santigold, Missy Elliott and M.I.A. Flay also detailed her time working with Pharrell Williams and about her move from rapping to singing. In a special performance, Flay also covers the Offspring’s “Self Esteem” and performs her latest single, “Four...
K.Flay has shared “TGIF,” a tune that features none other than Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello on guitar and lyrically critiques society’s “working for the weekend” mentality. The song is off her EP Inside Voices, which is out June 11 on BMG. The EP also includes a song titled “Dating My Dad” that features Blink-182 drummer and producer Travis Barker. “So often we keep everything bottled up,” K.Flay said in a statement about her forthcoming EP. “Inside Voices was a way for me to exorcise some demons and safely express these uncomfortable but very human emotions I was feeling.” Speaking about “TGIF,” K. Flay continued, saying that she “started writing this when Donald Trump was president, a time when I felt so acutely that my government didn’t represent me, that my governme...
After a dismal year devoid of live music, Louis The Child are returning in a big way. The barnstorming electronic tandem have announced a massive North American tour called “Euphoria,” which will kick off this summer on July 24th in Phoenix before concluding in mid-September in Sacramento. The momentous announcement arrives after they wiped their Instagram page clean, puzzling their fan base. The famed “Better Not” duo are bringing along some huge artists for the ride. Set to appear along the way are Jai Wolf, K.Flay, The Knocks, What So Not, and Whethan, among many others. Louis The Child have also promised a new live production for fans, taking to social media to exult in the expansive new tour. “New music, new show, new energy,” th...
As of today, Whethan‘s fans can now rest easy, knowing the long-anticipated release of his debut album has finally come to fruition. Out today via Atlantic Records, FANTASY is the type of album you didn’t even know you were missing until it arrived, making it well worth the nearly yearlong wait we’ve endured since its announcement. Comprised of 15 tracks of pure fun, FANTASY acutely blends Whethan’s quirky avant-electronica sound with the perfect punch of retro pop and rock undertones, making it the perfect display of talent and creativity for the young producer. Each song comes paired with its own visualizer, lyric video or music video, released this morning via YouTube. From the infectiously happy sounds of “Clouds” featuring The W...
Fans have been on the edge of their seats since the New Year for Whethan’s debut album, FANTASY. His lead single “Stay Forever” graced streaming platforms on January 10th and a string of tracks ensued in subsequent months. In April, Whethan made a surprise appearance at the virtual Room Service festival and leaked his highly anticipated FANTASY album. However, it’s been three months since the 21-year-old producer’s last official album single release, “So Good.” While the finish line has not been officially announced yet, the light at the end of the tunnel is gradually rearing its head with Whethan’s latest hit, “Hurting On Purpose.” In collaboration with pop-rock singer-songwriter K.Flay, “Hurting On Purpose” has made its arrival on streaming platforms. The new rock-influenced re...
