Konstantin Sibold

Konstantin Sibold Walks the Path of Music

In the studio, just as in the DJ booth, Konstantin lives and breathes the idea that music is fluid and that setting constraints based on convention and expectation will only hinder musical personality. He moves fleet-footed between musical categories, with characteristic confidence and a quintessential style that shines through. As a producer, Konstantin’s burgeoning reputation has led to his widespread acclaim due to being voted ‘Newcomer of the Year 2013′ by the readers of Groove Magazine, receiving significant support from Recondite, Disclosure, Move D, and the Kompakt family.

Recently, Konstantin remixed Adriatique’s “Home” on Siamese and “Shake The World” on Afterlife’s VA which was also performed by Tale of Us at Tomorrowland. Konstantin was also featured in the overall round-up of the second weekend at Tomorrowland. For both of these tracks, he has gained support from the likes of Solomun, Tale Of Us, Adriatique, Joris Voorn, Magdalena, Kölsch, Denis Horvat, Innellea, Colyn, Kevin de Vries, Oostil, and among many others. Apart from performing at recent festivals such as Solomun +1 Opening Party at Pacha Ibiza, Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and the Paradies Garten Festival, Konstantin’s upcoming performance will be at Amsterdam’s Dance Event in October 2022.

Elon Musk Drops House Track Music Video

Elon Musk has dropped a music video for his 2020-released vocal house track ‘”Don’t Doubt Your Vibe”. The video also doubles up as an advert for the entrepreneur’s Tesla business, soundtracked by Musk’s progressive house cut, featuring the latest car models Y and 3.

The video was produced by Tesla’s China team who prepped the cars and taught them to program their own lighting to put on a light display. The cars put on a mini rave in what appears to be an old warehouse alongside the track’s lyrics which appear behind the Teslas in bright, LED lettering.
