Watch Alesso Debut His First-Ever NFT at Dreamverse Festival In New York City
Alesso has set the tone for the future of NFTs by unveiling his debut drop, dubbed “Cosmic Genesis,” at Dreamverse, the world’s first-ever NFT art and music festival. Last month fans were given cryptic clues and a special decoder to decipher Alesso’s NFT through social media. Opting in on the OneOf platform provided fans with the special decoder which, once deciphered, unlocked the first chapter of the “Cosmic Genesis” story. “Cosmic Genesis” is a video series consisting of four chapters in total. Each represents a new curated audiovisual experience—a piece of Alesso’s vision—and new music from the Swedish EDM superstar. Dreamverse kicked off on November 4th and was the world’s first combined NFT art gallery and mus...

Tottenham speak to two Bundesliga managers as they hunt for new boss
Reuters Tottemham Hotspur have reportedly stepped up their search of finding a new manager by speaking to Hansi Flick and Ralf Rangnick. The North London side currently have former midfielder Ryan Mason at the helm on an interim basis following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last month. Mason has won three out of his four Premier League matches in charge – helping Spurs climb to sixth in the table. And with European football looking all-but secure for next season, Daniel Levy is now turning his attention to finding a permanent boss to take over in the summer. Tottenham were keen on luring Julian Nagelsmann away from RB Leipzig, but it has been confirmed that he will take over from Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich. According to the Guardian, Spurs have spoken to Flick about him potentially moving...

RAC Has Created His Own Cryptocurrency
Electronic musician RAC has long believed there is a large divide between art and the actual value it provides. With a sea of intermediaries between music artists and fans, including publishers, record labels, and music outlets, RAC believes that music ownership should remain with the art’s creator. RAC has now launched his very own cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin or Ethereum) via Zora, a cryptocurrency-based marketplace where goods are bought, sold, and traded via “tokens.” RAC’s newly minted token is called $RAC, and the currency is built off of the Ethereum blockchain. RAC is banking on the new venture to inspire a paradigm shift in the way artists are paid, and begin to give the power back to artists and creators rather than third party ow...
RAC Leads the Way for Goldroom’s “Guess I’m Jaded” Remix Package
Prepare to visit all corners of disco music. Los Angeles-based singer and producer Goldroom and three-piece indie-electronic band Moontower hooked listeners in early July with their vibrant and groovy single, “Guess I’m Jaded.” Tapping into elements of French house and ‘70s funk, the song’s amorphous arrangements magnified the feeling of summer while lyrically expressing the woes one may experience when going to parties. Longtime friends Goldroom and Grammy-winning artist RAC recently celebrated one year of their label Minerva Music, home to “Guess I’m Jaded.” Appropriately, RAC now leads the way for a series of re-imaginations as part of Goldroom’s official remix package. RAC energizes the original’s steady beat and establishes a soothing four-on-the-floor rhythm. ...
