Just when you thought ILLENIUM’s career couldn’t soar any higher, he drops an album with 45 remixes, each a testament to the enduring allure of his story.
The new remix album isn’t a mere release—it’s a sonic labyrinth that leads us deeper into ILLENIUM’s musical maze. Running the gamut from dubstep to drum & bass to house music and everything in between, ILLENIUM (Remixes) is as diverse as it gets.
It’s an opus with more highlights than a Lebron James fast-break dunk reel. Fans of ILLENIUM will find themselves right at home in LINEAGE’s remix of “Luv Me a Little,” where the young beatsmith beautifully distorts Nina Nesbitt’s vocals throughout an effervescent drop. The same can be said of Cadmium’s stunning remix of “Other Side,” a full-blown saga where the promising producer oscillates between kaleidoscopic future bass and squelching dubstep.
Elsewhere, INHUMAN harnesses the punk angst of “Shivering” to trounce the senses with his vicious techno flip. Fans of four-on-the-floor dance music will also gravitate to Will Clarke’s remix of “All That Really Matters,” wherein the influential producer ingeniously interpolates Teddy Swims’ aching vocals throughout a spellbinding house rendition.
Somehow, it seems 45 tracks wasn’t enough. You can listen to the full remix album below and find it on streaming platforms here.
Ringo Starr tripped over onstage at a gig in New Mexico earlier this month, it has emerged.
The Beatles drummer, who was performing with his All-Starr Band on September 20 at Albuquerque’s Rio Rancho Events Center, fell over while making his way back onstage during the band’s encore performance of John Lennon & Plastic Ono Band‘s ‘Give Peace A Chance’.
Starr, 83, quickly got to his feet after the fall and joined his band to sing the chorus. There were no later reports of any injuries suffered.
Moments after the fall, which you can watch via TMZ, Starr cracked a joke about the tumble. “I fell over just to tell you that, thank you,” he said.
Ringo is one of two remaining Beatles still alive alongside Paul McCartney. Lennon was murdered in 1980 aged 40, while George Harrison died of lung cancer aged 58 in 2001.
The musician and son of late Beatles icon John Lennon talked about the song, which remains one of the Fab Four’s biggest hits, during a recent appearance on the Club Random With Bill Maher podcast.
“I have a love-hate [relationship] with it, I have to say,” Julian explained (via Loudwire).
“I’ve probably heard that song and heard renditions of [it] more than most people alive. And even my dear friends send me babies in nappies playing guitars [and] singing ‘Hey Jude’, which I really don’t need.”
He continued: “I’m thankful for the song without question. But…the other real thing is that people don’t really understand that [the track is] a stark and dark reminder of actually what happened.
“The fact that dad walked out, walked away – left mum and I. That was a point of complete change and complete disruption and complete darkness and sadness. I mean, I was only 3, but I recognised that something was up, you know?”
As Julian referred to in the conversation, McCartney wrote the 1968 non-album single for him about his father’s break-up with his mother, Cynthia. The couple had separated and John began a relationship with Yoko Ono, whom he married in 1969.

His third release of the year, the track remains undeniably ISO, showcasing his distinctive style and creativity. The song combines fussy’s transcendent vocals with mystical melodies, culminating in a merciless drop with the signature metallic snares and frenetic drums reminiscent of his previous records.

The Irish rock band’s residency is centred on a full play-through of their seventh album, ‘Achtung Baby’ (1991) but, as confirmed by reports, the setlist will be broken up by a secret segment focusing on a different U2 album.
Variety reports that singer Bono revealed to the crowd the they plan to focus on a different album (or possibly other people’s albums, he added, teasingly), however, he didn’t clarify whether that would mean a setlist switch-up on each of the residency’s 25 shows.
Last night U2 played the first eight songs of ‘Achtung Baby’ before breaking into a four-song secret segment of their a hybrid live/studio album ‘Rattle And Hum’.
The band’s debut residency gig, which opened on the same day that they released their first new song in two years, ‘Atomic City’, was attended by a host of famous faces including Paul McCartney and Snoop Dogg. NME writer Damian Jones also confirmed that Dr Dre and Flavor Flav were at the concert.
Ahead of performing ‘Angel Of Harlem’ from ‘Rattle And Hum’, Bono said: “The macca [McCartney] is in our prescience. It’s like Mozart is in our presence.
“This is not a song we stole from The Beatles. We stole this from Bob Dylan,” the vocalist continued before dedicating the song to the late Billie Holiday.
U2 also excerpted the Elvis Presley classic ‘Love Me Tender’, Frank Sinatra‘s ‘My Way’ Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’, Van Morrison’s ‘Into The Mystic’ and Thin Lizzy’s ‘Dancing In The Moonlight.’.
They rounded off the show with their song ‘Beautiful Day’ followed by a medley blend into The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) and ‘Blackbird’.
Watch U2 perform ‘Angel Of Harlem’ and ‘Atomic City’ in clips filmed by NME, and see the full setlist further below.
‘Achtung Baby’ part one: 01. ‘Zoo Station’ 02. ‘The Fly’ 03. ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’ 04. ‘Mysterious Ways’ 05. ‘One’/’Purple Rain’/’Love Me Tender’ 06. ‘Until The End Of The World’ 07. ‘Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses’ 08. ‘Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World’
‘Rattle and Hum’ interlude segment: 09. ‘All I Want Is You’ 10. ‘Desire’/’Love Me Do’ 11. ‘Angel Of Harlem’/’Into The Mystic’/’Dancing In The Moonlight’ 12. ‘Love Rescue Me’
‘Achtung Baby’ part two: 13. ‘So Cruel’ 14. ‘Acrobat’ 15. ‘Ultraviolet (Light My Way)’ 16. ‘Love Is Blindness’
Encore: 17. ‘Elevation’/’My Way’ 18. ‘Atomic City’ 19. ‘Vertigo’ 20. ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’ 21. ‘With Or Without You’ 22. ‘Beautiful Day’/’Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)’/’Blackbird’
Meanwhile, U2 have spoken about drummer Larry Mullen Jr playing “up a storm” in the studio when recording their new single ‘Atomic City‘, despite being saddled with surgery recovery. Krezip drummer Bram van den Berg is filling in for Mullen Jr at the residency shows in Las Vegas.
In a candid conversation with YourEDM, Tim Clark, the rising star of the electronic music scene, shares his exhilarating journey from being a fan in the audience to sharing the stage with trance and progressive legend, Markus Schulz. Fresh off the first leg of ‘The Rabbit Hole Circus’ tour with Schulz, Clark delves into his experiences, the highs and lows of his career, and the passion that drives him.
From his debut at iconic venues like E11EVEN Miami, Musica New York, and Avalon Hollywood to the story behind his hit single “Oasis” on Coldharbour Recordings, Clark offers a glimpse into his world. He speaks about the challenges of winning over a new audience, the importance of reading the crowd, and the mentors and moments that have shaped his journey.
YourEDM: Congratulations on completing the first leg as the tour DJ on Markus Schulz’s ‘The Rabbit Hole Circus’ tour! How was it?
Tim Clark: Amazing experience! I appreciate that I was even there. I couldn’t have picked a better mentor than Markus Schulz; he’s absolutely amazing.
YourEDM: Was this your first time playing at these venues: E11EVEN Miami, Musica New York and Avalon Hollywood? What was that like? Were you nervous? How did you feel before going onstage?
Tim Clark: Yes, every venue I’m playing now is a new experience for me. Every time I go up [onstage] is a first time for me. I would say I was nervous prior, but the second I press the “play” button, all the nerves went away.
YourEDM: Markus Schulz is a trance and progressive legend of global acclaim with some of the most die-hard fans we’ve ever met. How did you two connect? What’s the background to your relationship? What have you learned from him and/or from each other?
Tim Clark: [Last] New Year’s Eve, he played one of my tracks and he asked his [PR] manager, Emily Tan, “Who’s the producer?” She found-out it was me and she and I connected and had me send an hour demo to Markus. He ended-up liking it and it took-off from there! I went to [Miami Music Week] Ultra Music Festival-week this past March and met-up with Markus Schulz again there, and we hit it off and then he asked me to do the Rabbit Hole Circus tour with him. He’s patient and took his time and helped me develop my craft. As far as his legend goes and the huge fanbase that he has, no one is more of a die-hard fan than I am! So, it’s very surreal for me to be sharing the stage with him, especially after having been on the other side out in the audience.
YourEDM: You’ve got a hot new single on Coldharbour Recordings, “Oasis.” That track’s a banger when we’ve heard it played out! What went into the making of that production?
Tim Clark: Well, I’m from Las Vegas and I just envisioned a person going over a hill in the desert and seeing this oasis. It’s actually about my home in Vegas and that’s what inspired me. The truth of the matter is, it came out more ‘trance’ than I expected because I was pursuing a progressive-house type track at the time. But, the finished product turned-out as a trance track instead.
YourEDM: What are your next Coldharbour releases? What can you tell us about them?
Tim Clark: I have three releases on Coldharbour, presently. The first one was “Oasis,” which is out now. The next one will be “Gateway,” for which we just got done shooting a music video in Hollywood (after Markus Schulz’s sold-out Rabbit Hole Circus show at Avalon, at which I played). After that will be “Descent,” as in “going down” the rabbit hole. There are more trance than tech-house, which is why Coldharbour was interested. My catalog of originals spans from house to trance, and Coldharbour has been interested most in my trance productions. I have other originals that are being released through my Tradebloc Music imprint which is distributed globally by Warner Music.
YourEDM: You also have releases on other labels including your own, like “Wake Up” featuring Jessica ZenZen. We love that song! Please tell us about your other releases on your own label. Which ones are your favorites? Which ones get the best crowd reactions when you drop them out live?
Tim Clark: I have other releases, but I’ve come to be associated with Markus Schulz and Coldharbour Recordings, most recently. “Wake Up” is one of my originals and that song gets a huge crowd reaction when I play it out live! I have a lot of terrific additional songs, like “Lost In The Moment,” “Ameritum” and about 30 others. One of my favorites is called “Forgiving Hearts,” which is a love letter to my wife. I don’t think when people first started noticing me that I’d have had so many originals recorded. I can’t wait to release them all.
YourEDM: As a producer when you’re in the studio, what’s your creative process like?
Tim Clark: I come-up with the name, first, then I plan the idea of the song. I take the track as far as I can possibly go, in terms of production, and then I hand it off to my team who help me produce and master each track. I have the final say over each work, but the producing is a collaborative effort. I’m a DJ/mixer first and a producer second. I’m not one of those producers first who learned how to DJ later. I’m a DJ who learned production
YourEDM: 8) You clearly enjoy yourself when you’re DJing in front of a live audience. What goes into your preparation for a live DJ set? What’s your mindset when you’re stepping onstage?
Tim Clark: I probably practice [DJing] more than anybody on the planet! Because I’m so prepared, I’m very comfortable when I walk on that stage. The truth of the matter is, I’m more comfortable playing in front of 5,000 people than talking to five people in a room. I’m most at home behind-the- decks and a huge calm overtakes me once I get onstage.
YourEDM: Being a relatively new DJ to the scene, what are some techniques you use to win-over a crowd that may not be familiar with your releases or your style? Do you have DJ-heroes you think of as role models?
Tim Clark: I’m a natural empath and have the ability to read what the crowd wants. I would play country music if I thought the crowd wanted it! I come to the stage with an idea of what I want to play, but then it can change immediately, depending on the crowd. I don’t hold myself to a set script. I take the audience on a journey and I like to think of myself as a musical therapist. I know some top DJs that play scripted, whether the audience likes it or not. I’m not like that. I like to read my audience and play what they want to hear.
YourEDM: 10) You have a lot of shows coming-up! What are you — or your manager — looking for when considering new bookings?
Tim Clark: I won’t do anything that doesn’t move my career forward. I have a lot of shows coming-up, but I also have been turning down shows. If an event isn’t something that’s progressing my career forward, then it’s not a right fit for me. For example, I’m playing the Groove Cruise Miami this year; I’m playing the cruise itself as well as the preparty, both of which will be sold-out or are already sold-out. What I’m not going to play is some pool party in Dallas as a one-off just for the hell of it.
YourEDM: Nearly every performing artist has war stories to tell. What are some of yours?
Tim Clark: I have a lot of stories, both as a fan and as a performer. Here’s one: I remember, in 2008, my friends and I drove from Vegas to L.A. to see my favorite DJ, Markus Schulz, play at Avalon Hollywood. It was a pretty surreal moment when, this August, I got onstage to play with him, considering I had a poster of that guy on my wall! In New York, I walked out and I had five guys in the corner chanting, “You suck, you suck!” I eventually wont them over by the fourth track. After my set, I went to the bathroom and saw one of those guys and asked him what he thought of my set, and he said, “You were a trainwreck in the beginning but then you brought it home.” Then he shows me pictures of him DJing. DJ critics, you know. [laughs]
YourEDM: Was there a spectacularly bad show/event/night you experienced, that almost made you want to quit DJing? What did you learn from that experience to tell yourself you shouldn’t quit? What motivates you?
Tim Clark: Many times I’ve been at the top of my game, but playing in New York, I didn’t think I gave my best performance. Afterwards, I had many moments thinking that this wasn’t for me, but my wife and daughters told me to stick with it, and now I don’t have those feelings anymore. Now, I’m all in! Everybody thinks they can sing because they do so in the shower. I’ve had moments of doubt and thinking I was being delusional, like, can I really do this? But now, after all I’ve been through, I don’t have those doubts anymore.
“Don’t worry about tomorrow,” GORDO and Adriatique’s powerful and uplifting new song urges.
Oozing with palpable emotion, “With You” unites the stellar sound design of both artists for an effortless collaboration. Electrifying soundscapes play out amongst pulsing drums, explosive synths and hair-raising vocals.
Adriatique’s unique, signature style of emotionally driven techno pairs perfectly with GORDO’s Latin influences in the fiery release. Sure to heat up any dancefloor, the song’s ecstatic drop emits a charged release that commands attention. Take a listen to the new collaboration below.
Recent support from Tale of Us and Korolova has propelled “With You” onto dancefloors across the world, from New York to Ibiza. Fans can catch GORDO performing the track live at an upcoming show at Hakkasan in Las Vegas on October 12th. Adriatique, meanwhile, has performances coming up in Ibiza, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and many more.
“With You” also functions as a launchpad for GORDO, who will soon embark on a new album rollout, he revealed on social media. He has not yet announced a release date or title at the time of writing.
Las Vegas police have reportedly arrested a man in connection with the murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996.
The rapper was killed at the age of 25 in a drive-by shooting and the identity of his killer has remained a mystery ever since.
AP reports that the man arrested early this morning (September 29) was Duane “Keffe D” Davis, but the exact charge or charges were not immediately clear, according to two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest. They were not authorised to speak publicly prior to the indictment, which is expected later today.
Davis has been known to investigators for some time and has admitted both in interviews and his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend that he was in the Cadillac from which the shots were fired 27 years ago. He has also said he is one of the last living witnesses to the shooting.
In July, Las Vegas police raided the home of Davis’ wife. Documents said that they were looking for items “concerning the murder of Tupac Shakur” and police later reported collecting multiple computers, a cellphone and hard drive, a Vibe magazine that featured Shakur, several .40-caliber bullets, two “tubs containing photographs” and a copy of Compton Street Legend.

Davis is the uncle of the late Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, one of Shakur’s known rivals. Anderson was seen as a suspect shortly after the shooting but denied any involvement. Two years later, he died in a shooting in Compton, California.
Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective who worked for years on the Shakur murder and wrote a book about it, said he would not be surprised by Davis’s indictment and arrest.
“It’s so long overdue,” Kading told the Associated Press during a recent interview. “People have been yearning for him to be arrested for a long time. It’s never been unsolved in our minds. It’s been unprosecuted.”
He added that he believed that because the killing was premeditated Davis could face a first-degree murder charge.
“All the other direct conspirators or participants are all dead,” Kading said. “Keefe D is the last man standing among the individuals that conspired to kill Tupac.”
Marking her official debut on deadmau5’s mau5trap—as well as her very first release on a North American label—RayRay is back with a new single, “Drama Queen.”
An electrifying blend of distorted synths and enchanting vocals, the track effortlessly showcases RayRay’s distinctive production style. While its lyrics give a glimpse into RayRay’s unapologetic persona, its production captures the unmatched energy that characterizes her fiery live sets.
“Drama Queen” is dripping with infectious dancefloor energy. Mesmerizing arpeggios kick off the arrangement and RayRay’s celestial vocals take the fore before the song’s drop, which explodes with the help of thumping kicks and a gritty bassline. A bright example of RayRay’s signature sound, “Drama Queen” is a testament to her creativity and limitless potential.
Take a listen to “”Drama Queen” below.
Drawing influence from a wide array of genres, RayRay has cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with over the past few years. After she won Red Bull’s 3Style DJing competition she caught the ears of industry giants like Skrillex, Steve Aoki and Yellow Claw, the lattermost of whom ultimately signed her to their Barong Family imprint.
Since then, RayRay has embraced her rule-breaking spirit to amass millions of collective streams and tour across the globe for an ever-expanding horde of loyal fans.
“I always love challenging myself to combine different EDM elements in one song,” RayRay explains. “As an artist in the music industry, I wanted to make this song to express that ego of myself—that I don’t want to be controlled by the rules.”
Nirvana have shared live versions of ‘Pennyroyal Tea’ and ‘Scentless Apprentice’.
The pair of live tracks were recorded at different shows. The new live version of ‘Scentless Apprentice’ was from a show at Seattle’s Center Arena on January 7, 1994, just three months before Kurt Cobain ended his own life. Meanwhile, the new live version of ‘Pennyroyal Tea’ came from a gig at Los Angeles’ Great Western Forum on December 30, 1993.
Both are taken from an upcoming Super Deluxe edition of their seminal 1993 album ‘In Utero’, which will be released on October 27 to commemorate its 30th anniversary.
The 8-LP boxset is set to feature 53 unreleased live tracks, as well as a remastered version of the original ‘In Utero’ studio recordings and its B-sides, including ‘Sappy’, ‘Moist Vagina’ and ‘I Hate Myself And Want To Die’.
The boxset includes live versions of the full setlist of Nirvana’s Great Western Forum and Seattle Center Arena shows.
Check out the new live versions of ‘Pennyroyal Tea’ and ‘Scentless Apprentice’ below:
Bassist Krist Novoselic spoke to NME about the 30th anniversary of Nirvana’s third album and its enduring legacy.
“When you listen to it, it goes somewhere,” he said. “It’s dark, it’s beautiful, it’s all points in between.”
“It’s bittersweet. We recorded it in about a week and a few of the songs were the first take. We were well-rehearsed and loved playing together. That was our glue as a band. We played live and it was live to tape.”
He continued: “It’s amazing what can happen when three people with instruments get together. You could make so much sound in a way that captures the imagination. That’s the beauty of music: you invite people in. The record can be pretty, but it can also be dark. Going back to this record, I was just reminded of our humanity as a group. There were a lot of different statements on there and that’s what you get: the post-’Nevermind’ Nirvana, after becoming a world-famous band.”
