Headed into its thirteenth edition, Hangout has become a state of mind where life is a party, a happy place with good vibes only, and a beachside daydream where sun-drenched lifelong memories are made. This year’s lineup will showcase a slew of leading names in varying genres from pop and country, to electronic music, rock, alternative, rap, and beyond.

Hangout‘s 2024 headliners demonstrate the festival’s multi-genre ethos, showcasing three of the most in-demand acts of the moment on the beaches of Gulf Shores. Alt-country superstar Zach Bryan is set to perform his stadium-filling anthems, fresh off of his chart-topping fourth studio album.

Joining him for a rare U.S. festival performance will be influential songstress Lana Del Rey and her extensive catalog of dreamy hits. One of electronic music’s most captivating production duos, ODESZA, will also bring their acclaimed live show to Hangout‘s main stage as one of their final shows of their “The Last Goodbye” era.

The lineup’s depth continues with no shortage of star power, from GRAMMY-award winning DJ and production duo The Chainsmokers, to longtime fixtures of alternative rock Cage The Elephant, and multi-hyphenate actor/singer-songwriter sensations Dominic Fike and Renée Rapp.

When it comes to a blending of pop stylings, find one of the genre’s breakout favorites Chappell Roan and homegrown talent Jessie Murph, who returns to Gulf Shores after a triumphant Hangout 2023 appearance. Flavors of country will be represented by the likes of emerging star Megan Moroney and Texas powerhouse Koe Wetzel.

Hip-Hop acts of varying generations will also be on display, where fans can sing every word to hit after hit from the iconic Nelly or get rowdy to the energetic performances of Doechii, Sexyy Red, and NLE Choppa.

Beyond the music, a weekend spent at Hangout offers the most perfectly-timed and carefree antidote to winter where adulting takes a back seat to picturesque sunsets and leisurely days spent with toes in the sand. Imagine posting up at Hammock Beach, playing beach volleyball or sliding down a slip-and-slide at Camp Hangout, catching heartfelt vows at the Beach Wedding Chapel, then popping into a beach dance club with direct swimming access in the refreshing Gulf of Mexico, all between sets and before retiring to your condo, beach house, or nearby hotel.

Those looking for an elevated experience can fest in style with a VIP ticket that grants expedited access via dedicated entry lane, an in-venue pool for midday dips, and complimentary cocktails and bites at the VIP Grove. Super VIPs can take in the sights and sounds from their viewing area and elevated deck at the Hangout Main Stage, zip around on golf-cart shuttles between stages, and enjoy complimentary gourmet meals prepared by award winning chefs throughout the weekend.

Those looking for unparalleled access paired with utmost convenience should look no further than Hangout House, where views of the festival can be enjoyed from the privacy of your own balcony. Hangout Lodging Packages conveniently bundle festival tickets with local lodging, and are on sale now via On Location; no registration is required to purchase.

For 2024, all ticket types can be bundled into 4-packs and paired with shuttle passes or event merchandise for a discount, if added at the time of initial purchase. The Hangout team is also standing by to accommodate large groups looking to build custom vacation or staycation lodging packages for fans near and far.

As part of Hangout‘s efforts to support the local community, the festival launched its Earn-A-Ticket Program (in partnership with Propeller) last year, encouraging interested festival-goers in the Gulf Shores area to take action online and volunteer their time in exchange for festival tickets and additional prizes.

Over 75 volunteers attended Hangout’s Beach Cleanup with the Alabama Coastal Foundation and Fort Morgan Civic Association, collecting a total of 3,860 pounds of trash along four beach locations in the Fort Morgan area. Details for Hangout’s 2024 Earn-A-Ticket Program will be announced soon.

Those who missed out on the Advance Sale in December are invited to register for access to tickets now, on sale beginning today Friday, January 12 at 11AM CT.

Electronic visionaries Rezz and Subtronics have come together to release their new collaboration ‘Black Ice’ out now via HypnoVizion & Cyclops Recordings.

The anticipated follow-up to their 2022 collaboration ‘Puzzle Box‘, ‘Black Ice‘ is an addictive new favorite for Rezz and Subtronics fans alike. Resonating with each of their distinctive styles, ‘Black Ice‘ slithers through climactic builds and ominous twists and turns as the pair experiment with textured layers and psychoactive elements.

A multitudinous blend of genres, ‘Black Ice‘ is daringly bold with two dynamic drops that lend themselves to Subtronics‘ leftfield dubstep and Rezz‘s mid-tempo signatures, with a touch of bass house added for good measure. A testament to their metamorphic capabilities as collaborators, Rezz and Subtronics have combined their trademarks into a cohesive yet mind-bending creation with ‘Black Ice‘.

Here’s what Rezz had to say about the collaboration:

“This is my second track with Subtronics. It’s always such a quick and easy process working with him. Our sounds oddly mesh together so flawlessly. Love the vibe on this one!”

SOMA Laboratory Launches Its New Metaconformer Modular MIDI Processor

SOMA Laboratory, maker of experimental synthesizers and sound machines including the legendary LYRA-8 Organismic Synthesizer, announces its new Metaconformer modular MIDI processor.

Much more than a simple MIDI utility, Metaconformer facilitates instrument routing scenarios that ​enable users to connect instruments in entirely new ways – making it easier to manage multitimbral sound sources in a MIDI-based environment.

Metaconformer – which uses the longstanding MIDI protocol in unconventional ways while offering greater control over a complex instrument setup – provides three primary modes of operation:

Splitter Mode: Split keyboard in up to 8 zones

​Splitter Mode allows the splitting of one keyboard (127 midi notes of one channel) in up to 8 zones. Each zone corresponds to one instrument, or MIDI channel. In splitter mode, users can operate several synths simultaneously.

Additionally, certain grooveboxes can receive several MIDI channels as well, thus enabling users to simply create multitimbralities. Zones can are flexible and can intersect, and each zone has a transposition option.

Combiner Mode: Combine up to 8 different instruments

​Combiner Mode allows combinations of up to 8 different instruments into one multitimbral polysynth. To do this, it receives notes from the Metaconformer input MIDI channel, and distributes notes to the MIDI channels of ‘voices’ much like classical polyphonic – but with different sounds on each voice.

Translator Mode: Configure key tracks

​Finally, the Translator Mode allows users to play on parameters of sound core (CC messages) with notes – this may include resonating filters, paraphonic oscillators and so on. Conceptually, it may be considered as something of a configurable key track. For instance, a user can play note N (from 0-127 midi notes), and then have it translated it to parameter value (0-127 midi CC values).

Metaconformer Modular MIDI Processor

Metaconformer makes it easier to control a complex electronic instrument setup, while opening up new opportunities for experimentation. It is easy to set up, with an interface focused on simplicity and great user experience. All three mode configurations require about 3 to 4 simple steps, along with entering any required information from the user keyboard – there is no menu diving or deep knowledge of MIDI required.

Metaconformer, which is available now at SOMA dealers around the world and through the SOMA website, is priced at $184.99.
