The 5.0 Return of Seismic 2022

/in /by

It was only a week ago that Seismic introduced their world-class artist lineup — a lineup with the most celebrated names in the house, techno, and electronic music scene. From November 11th to the 13th, Seismic’s three indoor and outdoor stages: Volcano, Tsunami, and Frequency encapsulated the Texas region with distinctively curated production and sound elements.

Of course, Texas is all about “go big, or go home”, and Seismic truly represented their brand with the festival taking place at The Concourse Project — a seven-acre venue run by the RealMusic Events team. Go big indeed, because the venue was recently nominated by DJ Mag as part of their Best of North America 2022 awards, and was categorically recognized as being one of the “Best Large Clubs” by DJ Mag.

David Geil Is Always Learning Through Techno

/in /by

Stage-named artist David Geil (aka Davide Ubaldi) is an Italian DJ and record producer. At just 11 years old, David began cultivating his passion for creating music, and in 2018  he began attending a DJ course at the music establishment Goody Music for DJs — this also led him to begin performing at private parties and late-night gigs. Continuing his music education journey, in 2019 he attended the Rain of Sound DJ Academy, and it was here where his musical technique was perfected. The same year he attended Rain of Sound DJ Academy, in April he participated and won 3rd place at DJ Battle which was also hosted by Pioneer. From participating in the European music contest Tour Music Fest, studying piano, and continuing his artistic career at the AFTEREGO studios to learn more about production and management, it’s clear that David’s passion for music transcends beyond creating it but learning it authentically and educationally.

From performing at the 2021 Beachland Festival in Kenya, Ibiza’s Gardene Festival in Bora Bora (2022), and producing new tracks on labels such as Klap Music, Pure Enjoyment, Monkey Stereo, and Discord’s Music, it’s apparent that the young artist’s talent is not being unrecognized.

A Damn Good Time At Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2022

/in /by

A few years ago, just before the year that shall not be named, I had the great pleasure of visiting the famous city of Amsterdam. I had an amazing time there, and experienced the rich nightlife and culture the city and it’s notoriously tall and friendly people had to offer. One moment that stuck out though, was a conversation with a stranger that I met on the dance floor on a Tuesday night.  This gentleman mentioned to me that I should come back for the Amsterdam Dance Event, also known as ADE. A few years later, after going through a complete career change and a pandemic; this October I finally had the chance to attend my first ADE.

Being Bold and True With Shiba San

/in /by

There’s much more to Shiba San than what meets the ear at first listen. As a two-time International Dance Music Award-winning producer with over 15 #1 Beatport tracks, there’s a reason why DJ Mag France named Shiba San “Best of House”. Leaving behind a 15-year-long career in the French hip-hop scene, the Parisian producer became fascinated with the sounds of Chicago house and was inspired to create his own productions, infusing his hip-hop influence with the soul of house music.

His critically acclaimed record label, Basement Leak, is also home to some of the finest tech house tracks on the scene right now. Since the label’s inception in 2017, Basement Leak has taken over stages at renowned festivals and curated its own events at Art Basel, Miami Music Week, FriendShip, Groove Cruise, Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, and Faust in Paris.

Staying quiet on the public front, Shiba San remains a curious enigma to his international fan base, allowing the music to do the talking for him. In between releases and time spent concocting in the studio, Shiba San remains a mainstay on the nightlife and festival circuit around the globe. There are no signs of slowing down for the Parisian producer.
