EDM Artists Share Reactions to Cyberpunk 2077
Video game developer CD Projekt finally released the wolves earlier this week when the company unveiled Cyberpunk 2077. After toiling through years of production and experiencing many delays, the hotly anticipated and polarizing game has sunk its teeth into the gaming community and hasn’t let go. One of the most ballyhooed video games in recent memory, Cyberpunk 2077 has also been a hit in the EDM community. Since its release, many DJs and producers have taken to social media to comment on the title’s gameplay, bugs, and the existence of cybernetic—*ahem*—genitalia. Check out reactions from Getter, Kill The Noise, Hotel Garuda, and more below.
“The Year I Lost 100 lbs”: Carnage Celebrates Weight Loss
In what was a year to forget, Carnage found a way to celebrate it. Having only dropped two singles in 2020, “Hella Neck” with Tyga, Takeoff, and Ohgeesy and “Together,” a collaboration with The Martinez Brothers featuring Elderbrook and Mike Dean, it seems that the one they (used to) call Papi Gordo had set some goals adjacent to his music career. His health was clearly a priority, as the electronic music producer took to social media to share a photo in which he appears slimmer than the Carnage of yesteryear. “2020… the year I lost 100 lbs,” he exulted. Many of Carnage’s fellow artists and music producers jumped in the comment section to congratulate him on his inspirational journey. “Looking good king,” wrot...
This “DJ Pee Jug” Doesn’t Actually Exist, But It Should
Did you know that when DJs yell “1, 2, 3, jump” into the microphone, what they’re really doing is giving themselves a pep talk not to pee their pants? The DJ Pee Jug is a real product that allows DJs to relieve themselves during those marathon, peak-hour sets where they simply cannot stop playing bangers to take a bathroom break. Using the DJ Pee Jug and its patented “reservoir tip”—named for its resemblance to the end of a condom—they can now drain the dragon right there on stage via the unit’s attachable hose and receptacle. The brilliant minds behind the product, record label Deep Tech Los Angeles, also conceptualized a handy adapter for female DJs so they too can experience the DJ Pee Jug, which they claim is sanitary, leakproof, and easy to cle...
Megan Thee Stallion & Tinder Are Offering Up $1 Million for Daters Who Put Themselves Out There
Having Meg step up as the Hot Girl Coach is a no-brainer after Tinder announced her Hot 100 No. 1 hit “WAP” with Cardi B was its certified freaky anthem of the year. The dating app exclusively revealed its “10 Essential Dating Anthems” of 2020 to Billboard this week, and “WAP” hopped to the top of the list. And Meg’s other Hot 100 chart-topper this year, the Beyoncé-assisted “Savage” remix, came in at No. 7 on the list. “It’s been a challenging year, but we still see our members showing up with their next-level humor, creativity and honesty in their bios. For those who are having a harder time putting themselves out there, we want to give them an extra boost of confidence and that’s why we’re bringing some of t...

Sinéad O’Connor Announces ‘Rememberings’ Memoir
Sinéad O’Connor announced on Monday (Dec. 7) that she will publish her memoir Rememberings via Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books & Media next summer. The Irish singer-songwriter recalls her upbringing in Dublin, which was soundtracked in part by her brother’s Bob Dylan records that provided her with an escape from her dysfunctional, abusive household. Throughout the book, readers will delve into her musical journey, from completing her debut album The Lion and the Cobra while eight months pregnant with her firstborn child to gaining international superstardom (and three Grammy nominations) with her cover of Prince‘s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Just last month, O’Connor wrote on Twitter that she was entering a year-long treatme...

Watch Post Malone Smoke Diplo in Beer Pong
In the latest episode of “Post Malone’s Celebrity World Pong League,” the superstar recording artist went head-to-head with none other than Diplo. Post Malone battles his celebrity friends in beer pong in the series, which has also featured The Chainsmokers, Machine Gun Kelly, and Tyga. In the newest episode with Diplo, Shania Twain makes a virtual cameo, telling the two teams that the loser will need to perform a children’s song in many different genres. When Post asks Diplo if he can even sing, the DJ’s partner jokingly says “Baby Shark.” Post Malone then hilariously fired back, “It’s on par with the rest of his music.” What happens next is a series of awkward underhand flips from Diplo, bandwagoning by Twain, and ...
