Zedd Has an Idea for Elon Musk to Combat Hate Speech On Twitter
Zedd has a timely request for Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk: reduce the hate speech. After Musk’s acquisition of Twitter last year, hate speech has risen exponentially on the platform, according to The Verge. The Center for Countering Digital Hate, the Anti-Defamation League and more found that slurs against Black Americans rose 302% after Musk’s takeover. Moreover, slurs against gay men reportedly increased by 158%. Musk, who has long championed electronic music, has been vocal about his goal to use Twitter as a vehicle to enable free speech without censorship. Another priority after his acquisition of Twitter was to reduce the amount of bots on the platform and prosecute scammers. But now Musk is facing another predicament with no room for error: hate speech. The...

Listen: Zedd and ellis Co-Produce New Edit of Mike Posner’s “I’m Not Dead Yet”
All Mike Posner knows are sad songs. Despite the lyrical weight of his recent single, the Grammy-nominated pop star once again opts to see the glass half full by sharing a new edit of “I’m Not Dead Yet,” produced by the collaborative force of ellis and Zedd. Posner has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and “I’m Not Dead Yet,” marks another characteristically open and candid lyrical offering. Much like Seeb’s high-flying remix of “I Took A Pill In Ibiza,” the new version of “I’m Not Dead Yet” brings an almost paradoxically uplifting energy to the production side with bright guitar riffs and playfully pitched vocal chops. Posner leans into the duo’s spirited production, smiling ear-to-ear in the new m...

Las Vegas Nightlife Was In a Rut—Then Zouk Group Came Around
If the pandemic proved anything, it was that even the mightiest could fall. Case in point was Las Vegas, a city whose economy was dependent on sin but suddenly found itself devoid of sinners. In March 2021, the number of visitors to Las Vegas dipped a staggering 49.5% compared to March 2019, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. But the numbers were only part of the story. If you visited Vegas during the pandemic, odds are you saw a shell of the hedonistic lotusland you once knew. Masks concealed the unbridled joy of a newlywed couple who hit blackjack; sanitizer stations replaced water fountains; and understaffed teams trudged around sticky, soda-stained casino floors under constant threat of being furloughed. So when Zouk Group came around, Las Vegas was in a rut....
