Martin Garrix & Dean Lewis

Dutch superstar DJ and producer, Martin Garrix has a few treats up his sleeve for his fans this festive season, kicking off with a remix package for his massive ‘Used To Love’ collaboration with Dean Lewis. Garrix has enlisted some of the most exciting artists from his STMPD RCRDS roster to rework this fine track in three very tasty flavours.

Following on from his huge remix of Garrix and David Guetta‘s ‘So Far Away‘, Swedish prodigy Osrin delivers another big rework. He combines with Beau Collins for a sweet version that takes the disco flavour and chunks it up in phat electronic style. SWACQ goes rowdy on his fierce, bass-driven remix, heavy on the distortion to contrast against the sweet vocal.

Jimi Hyde is a new producer in the game on who you should be paying close attention to. This year he was going places and was part of Kylie‘s #1 Album in UK and Australia. He also co-produced on Dillon Francis album Magic Is Real and on other international releases. And now he launches his own project. Jimi shows he’s one to watch with his feel-good, piano house romper of a remix, completing a diverse package that will keep fans smiling throughout the festive season.

Out now, these superb remixes should keep parties rocking through the Holiday Season. And there’s more still to come from team Garrix before the year is up, so keep your ears and eyes peeled…

Exit

Music superstars, true legends and the hottest newcomers make the first 20 acts announced for the much-awaited EXIT Festival’s big 20 years celebration that will take place from 9 to 12 July 2020 at the spectacular 18th century Petrovaradin Fortress, overlooking the Danube to festival’s hometown Novi Sad in Serbia!

Combined together, they bring global hits with more than 20 billion YouTube views featuring various styles of electronic, rock, metal and hip-hop music in a diverse lineup that EXIT is known for.

David Guetta, Tyga, James Arthur, Fatboy Slim, Boris Brejcha, Sepultura, Meduza, ARTBAT and Zhu, to name a few, will be playing one of world’s most beloved and award-winning festivals that started as a peace and freedom movement back in 2000. Ever since its rebellious roots, EXIT won two titles of the Best Major European Festival at European festival awards, the Best Overseas Festival at UK Festival Awards and dozens of other awards and recognitions by some of the world’s most influential media.

Headlining this first of many announcements is David Guetta, one of the most successful music producers of the 21st century with more than 50 million sold albums and singles, two Grammy Awards and over 100 million fans on social media. Guetta and EXIT go way back growing on a global scene with each other, so it’s no surprise the Parisian DJ superstar was topped the recent wishlist of EXIT fans!

Joining him on the Main Stage will be Tyga, a famed rapper straight outta Compton, whose popularity is easiliy measured with over 30 million Spotify streamings a month and regular top ranks on the Billboard RnB/Rap charts.

Tyga (Thank You God Always) is rightly considered to be one of the leading rappers of today as, in addition to a whopping 74 singles, he also has seven studio albums with this year’s Legendary turning platinum!

EXIT welcomes yet another streaming multibillionare, the popular English songwriter with a booming voice James Arthur, who lead the UK charts along with Billboard Hot 100 on more than one occasion! Arthur is also among 20 UK artists to have sold over two million singles, while his three albums over the past seven years birthed hits such as Impossible, Say You Won’t Let Go, You Deserve Better and many others.

Guetta will be joined by another legendary DJ and producer, as well as an extraordinary showman who is equally a big part of EXIT’s 20-year long history, Fatboy Slim! After a major arena tour this year, he returns to EXIT’s Main Stage to show once again why he rightfully headlines the biggest festivals and is considered to be one of the most important disc jockeys of all time.

One of the most popular from the new generation of EXIT stars Boris Brejcha, also returns at a time of unprecedented popularity. The adored German DJ with a “joker” mask is known for his unique sets made exclusively of his own tracks and massive shows at EXIT‘s gargantuan Dance Arena stage.

Another act that won the world with unbriddled power of their own music, the Ukranian hit DJ duo ARTBAT will debut at EXIT on its big 20th edition. Arthur and Batish do not cease to fascinate fans with exceptional sets such is the one for epic streaming platform Cercle, followed by EXIT’s own pilot version of new LIFE STREAM project at the Amsterdam Dance Event.

Joining this rich dance music selection will also be Meduza, considered a favorite of the upcoming Grammys for its global hit Piece of Your Heart that racked over 600 million streams, with platinum sales and the top of the US, UK and many other charts worldwide!

EXIT will also see the return of the mysterious DJ and producer ZHU, hitmaker behind tunes such as Faded, In the Morning, Working for it and countless other singles, with remixes for Lana Del Ray or Calvin Harris.

The first EXIT wave would have not been the same without handful of guitar titans, such as the powerful Brazilian Sepultura, a lelegendary metal band with 14 albums and some of the riffs which have left a mark on rock music in general. New York-born, heavy metal musician Billy Milano, with his M.O.D. (Method of Destruction), will also be at the gargantuan Petrovaradin Fortress next year, together with the Russian metalheads Moscow Death Brigade, rock guerrilla Crippled Black Phoenix, dark-wave heroes She Past Away and the Brit deathcore mainstays Bury Tomorrow.

EXIT’s 20th anniversary simply could not pass without the return of some of its first headliners, those who were brave, or simply crazy enough to be among the first to attend a new festival in Serbia, a place diametrically opposite to all they had heard about it, a place where they came face to face with the best possible audience in the world. Yes, the Bristol alt-rockers Kosheen and the trio of live bass music icons Roni Size and LTJ Bukem will be returning to the Fortress, for a special EXIT reunion.

Tickets for EXIT are available via link. The official tourist agency of the festival via link offers tour packages containing tickets, as well as accommodation and transport options.

Joris Voorn

Legendary Dutch DJ and producer, Joris Voorn has unveiled the stunning video for his track ‘Messiah’ which was released last month on his fourth studio album ‘\\\\’ [four].

Directed by the UKMVA Award-winning filmmaker Wouter Stoter from Amsterdam alongside esteemed Soho production house Snapper Films, the music video was filmed in London around Notting Hill‘s iconic brutalist architecture landmark Trellick Tower.

Joris explains: “I collaborated with British band HÆLOS on this single and when they sent me their vocals, it inspired me to work on the underlying music a bit more, which turned the track around quite a bit.

This track instantly evokes visual memories of London for me as its where I conceived the idea for the track four years ago and so naturally felt it should be shot there. We filmed it on a cold December morning in and around Trellick Tower”.

The track itself is built around a ’90s breakbeat and features the spine-tingling ethereal vocals of HÆLOS frontwoman Lotti Benardout, the video’s protagonist. We follow Lotti in various scenes around the West London estate and witness her attempted escape from the grips of a manipulative relationship.

Last week Joris also released his ‘Dark Science‘ Piano remix of Messiah, an alias he created back in 2004 for his more house driven tracks and projects. This remix of Messiah is a hands in the air moment built entirely for the dancefloor.

Tomorrowland Foundation documentary with Lost Frequencies shows why Tomorrowland is more than a fesival

By
Marco Di
-

Belgian superstar DJ and producer, Lost Frequencies and Arnoud Raskin, the inventor and founder of Mobile School, visited the Mobile School in Querétaro, a city in the heart of Mexico, last month.

Mobile School is a Belgian organisation that works with street children worldwide. Under the motto “If a child cannot go to school, we bring the school to the child“, they are active in more than 30 countries. The focus of the mobile schools is on strengthening the self-esteem and identity of street children and allowing them to discover their talents through play. Since last summer, the organisation has been supported by the Tomorrowland Foundation.

Tomorrowland turned the unique account of Felix and Arnoud into an unforgettable 32-minute documentary that can be viewed from 4 pm on today on all social media from both Tomorrowland and Mobile School.

With the creation of this documentary, the Tomorrowland Foundation aims to give an organisation like Mobile School the opportunity to spread their positive message about street child empowerment to a worldwide community of more than 30,000,000 fans and followers on the Tomorrowland social media.

Here’s what Arnoud Raskin, founder of Mobile School had to say about the school:

“There are more than 150 million street children in the world, including in Belgium! These are 150 million unique individuals, each with their own talents that are being wasted. That is a big loss for society! We have to find a different way of looking at those children and young people. We should not simply feel sorry for them, or even worse, ignore them… We give them the feeling that they are part of society and offer them the opportunity to develop their talents.

We shouldn’t feel sorry for them, or worse, ignore them… We must show them that they are part of society and give them the opportunity to develop their talents. Only in this way can they escape the negative spiral of the street. Thanks to their support through the Tomorrowland Foundation and the creation of this documentary, Tomorrowland is giving us a huge opportunity to send that message around to the world”.

Felix de Laet aka Lost Frequencies: “Just like the opening of the music school in Nepal, this experience in Mexico left a deep impression on me. Each of the children I met gave me so much love and received me with open arms. They really inspired me! I am therefore very happy that I can help Mobile School to spread their message.”

The Mobile Schools are mobile, fold-out blackboards, equipped with more than 300 educational panels and games, on street related topics such as health, basic knowledge, music, etc. The focus of the mobile schools is on strengthening the self-esteem and identity of the street children and allowing them to discover their talents through play.

There are currently 55 mobile schools operating in 30 countries on four continents: Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe. Thanks to the financial support of the People of Tomorrow for the Tomorrowland Foundation, the foundation can support Mobile School in the construction and development of additional schools, educational materials and the training of outreach workers.

Through the Tomorrowland Foundation, which was founded in 2016, Tomorrowland wants to transform the festival’s positivity and sense of belonging into support for projects that aim to give vulnerable young people and children from all over the world the opportunity to develop personally and creatively. After all, they are the future, they are the ones who will shape the world of tomorrow. They are the ultimate People of Tomorrow!

The funds for the construction of the music school in Nepal and the financial support for Mobile School and the creation of the documentary, come for the organisation and from the visitors to Tomorrowland.

At each edition of the festival, they have different ways to contribute. From donating 2 Pearls when they ‘activate’ their wristband, to the purchase of a Tomorrowland flag that is sold in the shops at the festival and via the webshop which includes a donation of € 5, to the required one-off donation from anyone who manages to get a free ticket through a partner or sponsor, to the guests in the Secret Resto, the most exclusive restaurant that can seat 12 people, it all goes to the Foundation.
