The dance floor has always been a useful place to lie to yourself. “Sad Girls” — Bebe Rexha and David Guetta’s recent collaboration — is a song about exactly that lie, and about what happens when it starts to unravel somewhere around the second chorus. That’s a strange premise for a dance track. It works…

Subtronics does not belong on kineticFIELD. That was the prevailing logic — the main stage at EDC is built for a particular kind of euphoria, wide melodic arcs and slow-building anthems that make 500,000 people feel like they’ve found religion in the desert. Subtronics makes the opposite. His riddim-influenced dubstep is mechanical, percussive, designed less…

The Nevada desert does not care about your tracklist. It swallows sound. It flattens light. It makes everything feel a little smaller than it did in rehearsal. Korolova walked onto the kineticFIELD stage on Day 1 of EDC Las Vegas 2026 — the festival’s 30th anniversary — and somehow reversed that equation. For sixty minutes,…

Three months after Bossi announced he was done, Nic Chagall played quantumVALLEY at midnight. No tribute segment. No on-screen acknowledgment. Just the music — 27 years of it pressing up behind every track selection — and a crowd that showed up because the name on the schedule still meant something. That restraint was, in retrospect,…

quantumVALLEY was the right call. That’s the short version. For anyone already inside the Afterlife world — who has tracked what Matteo and Amedeo Giovanelli have been building since they were spending winters on a Sicilian volcano with little else to occupy them — Saturday night at EDC Las Vegas 2026 didn’t need a preamble.…

The bassPOD is where you prove you belong. circuitGROUNDS is where that proof gets confirmed in front of 40,000 people. One year separated Ray Volpe’s two appearances at EDC Las Vegas, and the distance between those two stages is most of the story. In 2025, he played the bassPOD — the right room, a demanding…

The short version: Tanner Petulla started producing dubstep in high school, built a reputation on guttural synths and unpredictable sound design, signed to Skrillex’s OWSLA label, then watched his 2019 Visceral Tour fall apart mid-run. Fans booed. Some threw things. He addressed it publicly, acknowledged the direction wasn’t landing the way he needed it to,…

Why This Is a Moment the Desert Will Not Forget Madeon at Coachella 2026 was not just another festival slot. The French electronic artist brought his DJ set to the Quasar Stage and turned the Empire Polo Club into something entirely different. Not just a festival. A frequency. His set traveled from delicate synth textures…

The Coachella stages were still being sound-checked when Disco Lines started playing. No headliner. No competing audio bleeding in from the next tent. Just a few thousand campers who’d driven through traffic and sand and desert heat to arrive a full day early — and who were now, without quite planning for it, attending one…

When the opening kick drum rolled across Allianz Stadium, something shifted. The crowd felt it before they heard it. That low, ground-shaking pulse moved through the floor, through the seats, through the whole of Sydney on a night nobody wanted to end. Dom Dolla does that. He arrives in a room and changes its temperature…
