Living a Life of Vibrancy With Lee Ann Roberts
In Lee Ann Robertsâ hands, even the hardest techno can have subtlety and soul. The Amsterdam-based, South African-born artist has become a prominent force in the global techno scene thanks to her fierce determination and vibrant creative touch. She leads with her own NowNow label â a self-reliant platform that nods to the South African colloquialism meaning “soon”, which means a call to surrender to the moment, and follow where the music takes you. Itâs a mantra sheâs lived by as her career has sharply risen â from debuting on Spanish label Suara with “Miyamoto” and instantly scoring number two on Beatportâs Hard Techno chart.
Sheâs simultaneously been growing NowNow with her own productions and dropping alongside remixes from verified legends like D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Jay Clarke, and Dense & Pika. The vitality in Robertsâ sound undoubtedly comes from her broad outlook, inspired as much by the revolutionary misfits of rock as the visionary pioneers of electronic music. Her attraction to unusual and distinctive qualities in the music she makes and plays all add up to one of the most exciting forces in contemporary techno.

Since then, people in Iran have shown tremendous bravery, risking their lives on the streets, fighting their violent dictatorial regime, and seeking basic human rights and freedom. By now, the regime has responded to the protesters with pure cruelty. Thousands have been arrested or killed, disappeared having critical medical conditions, brutally tortured in jails, and sentenced to the death penalty without any court cases or support from international organizations. A nation of 8 million citizens & over 4,000 years of history needs our international support right now.

AI And Dance Music: Techno Doomsday Or Infinite Possibilities?
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, AI has been all the rage and craze. Especially with the release of various art generating programs, ChatGPT and more recently Bing’s AI there has been huge amounts of controversy on various levels. People are both fascinated and concerned about the growth of use in these programs and what the future will bring with them. Other than your typical “skynet overlord robot masters” fear, people in the music world are definitely sweating what’s coming next.

Is this the beginning of the dark dystopian music world that ironically techno has always been associated with? Or is this a new realm of possibilities for all genres of music?
