Dead Weight is more than just ‘another alias.’ It’s a world listeners are transported to in which the ruler of this realm – Ollie – takes charge and carries those willing to go on sensational ride they’ll never forget. Every release revealed has a specific and impactful message behind it – all part of the Dead Weight experience – crafted with intention to execute a cohesive message that’s deeply important to the values of this DJ/producer.
“The Swarm,” a single that’s as intensely dark as it is heavy, not only boasts a meticulously designed riddim flow that will shock the system, it’s about fighting back against the stressors that life can throw at you and bravely going against the tides that can bring you down.
Mental health issues, financial scares, relationship woes, the state of the world, and so much more are all negative influences that pile on and feel like they’ll never let up. “The Swarm,” highlights a truthful silver lining that we do, in fact, all have the power and capability to vigorously fight against these hardships – making us more resilient during adverse times.
Dead Weight‘s sonic mission is rooted in dubstep. His live performance showcases him deep in character, which heavily enhances the immersiveness of the journey and the theatrics of what is at hand.
Inspired and influenced in the culture of hard-rock, metal, and screamo, Deadweight’s incorporation from a wide amount of music culture plays a critical role in the original disposition that radiates from this project.
AlphaTheta Corporation announces a host of new models in the DM Series of desktop monitor systems from its Pioneer DJ brand. The new DM-50D-BT integrates Bluetooth® functionality into the popular DM-50D speakers, released in late 2021.
Pioneer DJ‘s industry-renowned DM-40 models also received an upgrade to help deliver a more optimal listening experience. The updated speakers offer Bluetooth® connection capability and system upgrades to the compact DM-40 models, which have served DJs and producers well for several years. All models are available in black or white and sold in pairs.
Whichever DM Series monitor system artists choose, they’ll find the speakers produce powerful, high-quality sound. The speakers are easy to set up, tune, and use – making them ideal for various purposes. Whether artists want to play DJ sets, make their music at home, or regularly switch between the two—Pioneer DJ‘s updated DM Series offers the perfect sound.
Artists looking to produce their tracks to drop into their next set can easily do so with the speakers’ Production Mode settings with a simple switch flick. Once in Production Mode, the speakers’ DSP settings will automatically adjust to create the best sound for each application.
Artists can easily connect their DJ setup or home studio to the RCA and mini-jack input terminals on the DM Series speakers. The DM-50D-BT and DM-50D also have a TRS input, and the speakers’ Bluetooth® models enable artists to connect mobile devices for cable-free high-quality music playback wirelessly.
The volume knob and headphones socket are on the front panel for quick connection and level control. And, with the choice of black or white models, artists can pick the color to best suit their home or studio aesthetic.
Check out the video below!
KEY FEATURES
1. Advanced Design for Higher Quality Sound
Each DM Series speaker features a Class D amplifier with 96 kHz sampling DSP to produce pure, balanced bass sound. In addition, artists will find that the updated speakers feature DECO convex diffusers to distribute crystal-clear high frequencies evenly in every direction. Regardless of speaker positioning, artists receive a wide range of 3D stereo sound.
When artists need to turn up the volume, the speaker’s woofer creates extra power and aligns with the tweeter—allowing artists to hear all sound frequencies clearly. The grooves on the speaker ducts reduce air friction for tight and punchy bass, while the curved front speaker edges deliver maximum rigidity and minimum resonance for clean audio at any volume level.
2. Two-Way Sound Mode for DJing and Music Production
Artists no longer need to decide on a set of monitors for DJing or making music as the DM Series speakers are ideal for both. With the flip of a switch, artists can choose either DJ Mode or Production mode and the DSP settings optimize for the task—leaving artists free to concentrate on their mix.
3. Bluetooth® Connectivity
The Bluetooth® technology included in the DM-50D-BT and DM-40D-BT models enables artists to easily pair their smartphone, mobile device, or PC / Mac and play high-quality tracks wirelessly.
4. Easy to Use with Different DJ or Production Equipment
With RCA and mini-jack terminals, artists can connect different gear such as DJ controllers, mixers, laptops or the built-in soundcard artists use for music production. The DM-50D-BT and DM-50D models also feature a TRS input for increased device compatibility. Headphones connection and disconnection are straightforward via the socket on the front panel, and volume adjustment is more effortless with the level knob placed on the front panel.
5. Sleek, Smart Design – Available in Two Colors
Artists can bring a slick, professional look to their setup by choosing between two different model colors. The finish of the black DM Series speakers blends in perfectly with classic DJ gear, while the white models might better complement the interior design of a home or studio.

Making a welcome entrance, Detroit-based artist Scott Avery steps into the ring and presents his debut extended player – Child Self.
Born in Philly and raised on his father’s all-encompassing record collection, Avery‘s appreciation for music comes from the soul. Early exposure to Philly’s underground music scene, block parties, and cookouts sparked his admiration of music of all genres.
In 2005, he moved to NYC to pursue a career in the arts. A few years later, Avery made his artistic debut with Reasonable Doubt, a five-day performance art piece where he explored honesty and integrity in the art world.
In 2016, Avery moved to Detroit, a city known for breeding the early sounds of underground electronic music. In Detroit, techno’s legacy and the pulse of its creative landscape provided him with daily inspiration. However, it wasn’t until his father passed away in 2018 that his earliest experiences of music came back to the forefront. Familial memories inspired his entry into the world of electronic music. This crucible is where Avery was reborn, a moniker that has come to symbolise self-reflection, collective experience, and boundless realisation.
Fast forward to the present, his debut E.P. Child Self, traverses across an array of soundscapes – with the extended player paying homage to innocence and the source of his creative expression. The E.P. also represents a juncture in Avery‘s own personal history, a moment of artistic reflection as he considers the varying roads that have led him to the present day.
From the opening cut ‘Pink Polo’, title track ‘Child Self‘ and onto ‘Ecstasy‘ and ‘Operational Tempo‘ – Avery‘s personal and historical memories resurface across the E.P. in roundabout ways, unlocked in ecstatic sonic transmissions, expressing profound sentiments that language can’t easily describe.
Underpinned with subtle reference points to Detroit’s legendary history, with underlying samples that seamlessly flow between house, Motown, disco, and Hip-Hop, Child Self clearly defines Avery‘s forthcoming musical agenda fittingly.

Miami-based duo Bedouin formed by Rami Abousabe and Tamer Malki brings a new saga to the world’s most iconic nightclub and famous red cherries Pacha Ibiza every Wednesday this summer.
Rising from the dust of the desert at Burning Man to becoming globally respected producers, Bedouinhave created their own idiosyncratic spell of melodies and musical rhythms that stem from their Middle Eastern heritage and Western upbringing.
With the pairs Ibiza “Saga” weekly residency beginning at Heart Ibiza in 2017, carefully curated with a handful of selected guests; the party brand is now an exciting, imposing experience and surrealist production set to own the midweek on the White Isle this summer.
As a magical Middle Eastern-inspired experience infused with incense and dimly lit dancers with the same Story of Sound: enticingly beautiful, dramatically fresh, and infectiously blended. Every Wednesday, expect a multisensorial yet otherworldly production that aligns, inspires and elevates, the innovative club concept by Rami and Tamer has amassed a cult following and ranks amongst the island’s most mysterious residencies.
Not too long ago, we enjoyed longer nights on carefree dance floors. There were fewer masks, more friendships, and mesmerizing moments together for all to cherish. Time is only lost, however, if we don’t make up for it. This is why Bedouin returns to Ibiza.
Bedouin‘s residency for summer 2022 is Pacha-bound and season-wide. Starting May 25th, A Wednesday Saga welcomes back favorites at their creative peak, new guest artists, and live acts: Acid Pauli, andhim, Audiofly, Birds Of Mind, Black Coffee, Bob Moses, Bonobo, Carlita, Chloé Caillet, Damian Lazarus, Deep Dish, DJ Tennis, Guy Gerber, Guy Laliberté, Henrik Schwarz, Mano Le Tough, Patrick Bäumel, Red Axes, Trikk, Upercent and WhoMadeWho. Everyone’s back, basically, but the saga isn’t complete with you.
The vibe is storytelling, inviting new feelings from deep meanings delivered audiovisually. A musical epic experienced through dance, teleporting listeners somewhere they haven’t been before. The tenacity of their message (newness) in the universality of the medium (music) is Bedouin. A Wednesday Saga is how they tell it, and Pacha is where we live it this summer.
“We’ve been working so hard on making this a very special residency since we’ve been waiting 2 years to return to the island. This residency is all about the music and coming back together. Our goal is for people to leave remembering the feeling they experienced and for them to carry that feeling through their life.” Bedouin
A go-to destination since the 1970s where heritage, music, and glamour combine, Pacha returns after a two-year hiatus to capture an electric mix of authenticity, spontaneity, fun and kudos. The club’s incredible new production, creative decor and theatrics today blends in harmony with its rich history and soul of the past.
What If This Is All Real LP symbolizes a full circle moment from duo Medii. Now having released two EP’s in 2022, Binary Blue EP and Replica Red EP, they close out this chapter of their music release schedule with an album featuring 4 brand-new songs.
What If This Is All Real pulls together the tracklist from the February and May EP and ties it together with a never-before revealed intro track and 3 stand-alone singles. With the EP’s having their own cohesive ebb and flow when it comes to the segues song to song, What If This Is All Real LP expands on this sentiment with the full scope of the experience fleshed out in its final form.
“Dying Day,” utilizes a moody, all-instrumental disposition to draw the curtain back as to the vibes and mood’s one should brace themselves to soak up. Electric guitar plucks, dramatic vocal samples, and a live drum all allude to the cinematic nature that is soon to unfold upon the listener – a fitting springboard to an extensive adventure.
“My Mind’s Escaping,” maintains the sentimental nature that the intro song broadcasted, yet brings in a sunnier disposition as the song’s measures move forward. The perfect blend of electronic influences and a live instrumental feel create the backdrop for easy-going, indie-pop-inspired vocals to inject themselves into the soul. Technical, creative, and full of surprises, the lead single shows how the album goes beyond what the EP could have led listeners to anticipate.
“Love Yourself,” blends in a romantic edge into this album. Sentimental and reflective at some moments, while upbeat and happy-go-lucky at others, Medii strikes an impressive balance on this tune – a vibe that fits right into the sonic themes that both the previous track and previous EPs showcased.
“Real (feat. Cat Cayenne),” plays out like a song from the soundtrack of a movie. Exploding with personality and the beat and vocal aligning in a beautifully cohesive manner. Medii makes it difficult not to get fully immersed into the moment with this one in particular. Soft synth layers platform heavy-handed, drumwork to render something defining and unforgettable.
Closing out the album and a near half-year of music from Medii is “Better Place.” Sharing a bit more groove with finger snaps and confident rhythms. The lyrics and timbre are simultaneously comforting and reassuring, leaving the listener with a sense that all will be well and Medii will be back again with more music to grace this world’ sonic stratosphere.
