Miami Bitcoin Conference to Conclude With Music Festival Featuring deadmau5, Steve Aoki, More
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...

Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Run the Jewels, Faith No More Highlight Riot Fest 2021 Lineup
The festival announcements are rolling in faster than you can say COVID lockdown. Riot Fest, which announced part of its lineup last June, has unveiled the whole thing and it’s a doozy. Nine Inch Nails (who are also headlining Louder Than Life a weekend later) are joining Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and Run the Jewels at the top of this year’s bill. Originally, My Chemical Romance was slated to headline, but they’re conspicuously absent from the lineup. But have no fear, MCR will be headlining the 2022 edition of Riot Fest.

Rage Against the Machine Push Reunion Tour Dates to 2022
If you’re waiting to see Rage Against the Machine reunite on stage, you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer. The band announced on Thursday that they’re pushing their tour dates to March 2022. SPIN’s 2020 Artist of the Year Run the Jewels will open for Rage on most of the dates of the Public Service Announcement Tour. The first night of the tour will take place in El Paso, Texas on March 31, 2022 at Don Haskins Center. There are a few festival dates in there as well, but not Coachella. Rage was supposed to perform at the 2020 edition of Coachella before it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Curiously, though, there is a big gap between the group’s second Phoenix-area show on April 6 and their two-night stint in Oakland on April 26. The tour was originally slated to resume...
Run the Jewels Drop ‘ooh la la’ Remix With Santa Fe Klan and Mexican Institute of Sound
Run The Jewels shared a remix of “ooh la la” by Mexican Institute of Sound with an additional verse by Santa Fe Klan. The single picks up Cumbia and Mariachi influences in the remix. Behind Mexican Institute of Sound is Camilo Lara, a Grammy-nominated artist and producer known for his work with Band of Horses and Norah Jones, along with remixes for Beck, Morrissey, Beastie Boys and more. “Making the global dance floor a united, inclusive, banging space where everyone is welcome is the mission that connects me with RTJ,” Lara said in a statement. “Inviting Santa Fe Klan on this adventure was crucial: his voice brings together Guanajuato, Brooklyn, Ciudad de México, Atlanta. Turn it up and jump right in: ooh lalá, papá … ooh lalá!” Ángel Quezada, aka Sante Fe Klan, is a 21-year-ol...
What So Not Puts a High-Energy Spin on Run The Jewels, Pharrell Williams, and Zack de la Rocha’s “JU$T”
Last summer, cutting edge hip-hop duo Run The Jewels released their much-anticipated fourth LP, RTJ4, to critical acclaim. A standout track from the album was, of course, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha titled “JU$T.” Now, Australian bass master What So Not has released his take on the fiery single, after sharing a preview of the remix on Twitter earlier this week. With a futuristic, trappy twist on the original, What So Not maintains a hip-hop feel while elevating the production to suit a fresh electronic sound. Epic crescendos give way to verses from Killer Mike, Williams, and de la Rocha that explode with energy over the cleverly designed bass work and glitchy percussive elements. What So Not’s hig...
Watch Run the Jewels Lead an Action Figure Rebellion in New Video for ‘Walking in the Snow’
Run the Jewels are capping off their big year in style with their new music video for “Walking in the Snow.” After ending up on virtually everyone’s album/song/artist of the year lists (including being named SPIN’s Artist of the Year) for RTJ4, Killer Mike and El-P had one more gift to fans in their Santa-sized sacks. The new video is directed by Chris Hopewell, whose previous work includes the duo’s “Don’t Get Captured,” and transforms the rappers into action figures for a stop motion masterpiece. Much like their living counterparts, the toys spend the bulk of the video taking on an authoritarian figure and leading a revolution. “It was great to work with the RTJ guys again,” Hopewell said in a statement. “Everyone was very aware of the gravity of the subject matter and RTJ didn’t wa...
Artist of the Year: Run the Jewels
In a year filled with chaos, social reckoning, protests, rage and financial ruin, there appeared to be no light that would save the world from the roiling political issues that had been brewing for decades. There was no Death Star, though it would have surprised no one if the Earth imploded like Alderaan. At least we had the two heroes we definitely needed but didn’t deserve: Run the Jewels. In February, El-P and Killer Mike were gearing up for what was set to be the biggest year of their career. Run the Jewels had become a tour de force with each of their studio albums (and of course, the cat-themed remix album Meow the Jewels), and opening for Rage Against the Machine on the band’s latest reunion tour would have opened up the duo to a much wider audience. Then, March 2020 happened. The p...
