Lollapalooza Colombia canceled after Rihanna pulls out over fears of Zika virus.

Rihanna was to headline the inaugural Lollapalooza Colombia in Bogotá this September, but this week pulled out of the gig over concerns about contracting Zika virus. The festival was also set to feature performances from Lost Frequencies, Disclosure, Robin Schulz, Markus Schulz, Nicky Romero, Yellow Claw, and The Chainsmokers, among others.

Organizers of the event has since axed the festival because they don’t have enough time to find a headlining replacement for Rihanna.

Consequence of Sound reports: “In an issued statement, Lollapalooza organizers said they did not have enough time to find a replacement headliner. Ticket refunds are being offered…Organizers said they still hope to stage an event in Colombia in the future.”

Freshly signed onto Monstercat record label with his single “Alone,” Marshmello is easily one of the label’s most intriguing newcomers. In his latest music video it’s evident to everybody that he’s trolling Deadmau5. You can clearly see, that before going to school Marshmello is feeding his pet mouse named Joel.

After enduring his fair share of bullying at school and getting shut down by his crush, the outcast Marshmello gets discovered DJing in his bedroom. Just as the song’s jubilant drop kicks in, we see the masked producer prevailing as others are brought together by his music and he finds himself as a new leader among his peers. Fans are left with a sense of afterglow as all winds down, matching the track’s sense of positivity.

Deadmau5 and Absolut Labs have teamed up to create a new video game that allows “fans to join the Canadian DJ in his own virtual world like never before.” Their collaboration includes an exclusive track, and the brand will be selling limited edition Deadmau5 cardboard VR viewers.

According to a statement from Deadmau5 “the Absolut deadmau5 experience begins in the artist’s garage with a guest appearance from his Instagram-famous cat, Meowingtons. Here, users help deadmau5 select one of his iconic cars, complete with a driver, and set out on a journey toward a nighttime gig.”

“It’s no secret I’m a huge gamer,” Joel says. “Video games have always played a major role in my life. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create my own VR gaming experience, especially when it meant I could bring a broad set of fans on an interactive journey alongside me, and share my music with them in a whole new way.”

Starting on June 30th, fans can pre-order a limited edition Absolut Deadmau5 cardboard VR headset, that the brand is actually selling for $18.

Headhunterz Sends Message to His Fans About Return to Defqon 1

By

At this year’s edition of the hardstyle festival Defqon 1, Willem Rebergen, better known by his stage name Headhunterz made an unexpected appearance which was his first time there since he officially announced his retirement from hardstyle.

The DJ didn’t know what to expect but the fans welcomed him with wide arms opened once again. All judgement, negativity, and confusion was completely absolved when Headhunterz stepped again on the Defqon 1 stage; and he ended his emotional piece with “Until we meet again”. He hasn’t forgotten his roots and he will surely make another appearance at some point in time.

Check out below the Headhunterz‘s heartfelt message to his fans about return to Defqon 1

I don’t even know where to begin.

Every letter that I write here feels like it’s falling short compared to the unforgettable experience
of being welcomed with open arms once more by my hardstyle family at Defqon 1.

All confusion, all negativity, all judgement and frustration just completely melted and I felt connected to all of you like I have
never ever in my life felt connected with people.
I realized how hard I normally am on my self and how self criticizing the voice in my head is, but when I heard all you people cheering and finally saw people in the front row breaking down in tears my heart just completely spilled over.
I felt so much compassion towards everyone standing there, every single person in the crowd on their search for happiness including myself, a little boy that is now a grown man but deep inside never really grew up.
A little boy that sure made a lot of mistakes in his life and still has a lot of insecurities, but has his heart in the right place. That’s me. And I am sure that that is not just my story but the story of many people out there.
The love and appreciation that I felt from all of you was overwhelming and is impossible to put into words. It is the kind of love that I wish everyone could feel much more often. A kind of loves that unites people as one.

I want you all to know that despite the fact that I have taken a new direction and that it’s important for me to be committed to that, I will never ever forget where I came from. Hardstyle is engraved in the core of my being and I will always carry my beautiful past with me wherever I go, with pride.
Thank you Q-dance, the Prophet, Technoboy and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Until we meet again, W

Apple granted patent to stop you from recording shows with your iPhone

New Apple patent could stop you from taking photos and recording videos at shows.

It seems like in today’s age of live music, fans are more watching the show through their mobile phones than with their own eyes, desperate to Instagram/tweet/Facebook/Snapchat moments from the performance. DJs, singers, actors have been telling fans to put their cell phones away for years. This is a problem Apple is seeking to solve in a patent first applied for in 2011 and granted today …

The patent describes the camera detecting an infrared signal and interpreting the data. One signal could be used to disable both still photography and video recording.

For example, an infrared emitter can be located in areas where picture or video capture is prohibited, and the emitter can generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes commands to disable the recording functions of devices. An electronic device can then receive the infrared signals, decode the data and temporarily disable the device’s recording function based on the command.

These infrared emitters could also be used to automatically display information about the object you’re viewing or photographing.

An infrared emitter can be located near an object and generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes information about that object. An electronic device can then receive the infrared signals, decode the data and display the information about the object to the user.
