Mysteryland’s groundbreaking finale: A tribute to life and nature

by the partae September 10, 2024
written by the partae

Visitors are blown away by a 10-minute choreography with fully integrated 600 drones, fireworks, 3D video, lights, music, and vocals

 

After a three-day sun-drenched weekend, Mysteryland once again solidified its position as a pioneer in the festival world with a breathtaking and unprecedented finale that left attendees in awe. For the first time ever, a 10-minute choreography seamlessly combined 600 drones, fireworks, 3D video, lights, music, and vocals into a spectacular end show unlike anything seen before. This cutting-edge performance, developed in collaboration with TWOFIFTYK DRNS (known for their shows at Burning Man) and world’s biggest beer brand BUD, pushed the boundaries of festival experiences. The drones were fully integrated into the finale, transforming the stage from a 30-meter centerpiece into a towering 120-meter-high spectacle of light and technology.

Rosanne Janmaat, CEO ID&T: “I am completely overwhelmed by this next level show and beyond proud of our team. Special shout out to our creative team who created pure magic with this end show. We look back on a fantastic edition in which we took a wonderful step in a new direction with Mysteryland. ‘Celebrating life’ is central to everything we do, and it was very special to close this sunny edition with an end show of this size, in which that theme formed the common thread. We are grateful for our crew, partners, artists and of course our amazing visitors. We can’t wait to show them what we have in store for next year!” 

Sander ter Braak, TWOFIFTYK DRNS: “What we created here with Mysteryland goes far beyond just a drone show. The 600 drones are part of a fully integrated 10-minute choreography of light, lasers, drones, video, music, vocals, and fireworks. This show is an experience where all these disciplines are integrated to create a new, immersive reality where the line between what is real and virtual is no longer visible.”

A key highlight of the show was a performance by fan favorite Genevieve Coté, known from Britain’s Got Talent, who enchanted the crowd with her famous nature and animal sounds. The entire finale revolved around the theme “Celebrate Life,” where “life” carried a dual meaning, with a special focus on nature. This profound message is especially poignant in times when the pressure on our environment is increasing.

Mysteryland has long been committed to sustainability, and this year was no different. The festival ran almost entirely on green, locally sourced energy, continuing its tradition of leading the way in environmentally conscious event production.

The festival offers a stage to no less than 300 artists from different countries representing all genres in the electronic music spectrum, there were many performers that surprised visitors and the entire site was full with decorative objects and light installations that amazed them.

As Mysteryland 2024 concludes on a high note, this unforgettable end show serves as a powerful reminder of the festival’s dedication to innovation, nature, and celebration. The dates for the 2025 edition are already set: 22 – 24 September 2025 and visitors can preregister via this link. The full end show will be available on Mysteryland’s YouTube channel very soon.

Loco Dice’s SB Recordings welcomes Kapuchon with “Work.”

by the partae September 7, 2024
written by the partae

Dance Music Titans Unite: Iconic Artist Loco Dice Welcomes to His Label SB Recordings AFROJACK Under His Kapuchon Moniker with Kapuchon’s Single “Work” with Sven Fields

 

Artists: Sven Fields, Kapuchon
Title: Work (incl. Loco Dice Remix)
Label: SB Recordings

Download / Stream

Legendary German artist Loco Dice and his SB Recordings unveil a groundbreaking release coming from the iconic Dutch artist AFROJACK, under his tech-house alias Kapuchon, and his rising Dutch fellow Sven Fields. After releasing the likes of Chuckie, Carloh, Chicks Luv Us and more, Kapuchon and Sven Fields‘s track “Work” is SB Recordings‘ 10th release so far, a sonic powerhouse that seamlessly blends their signature energy and goes perfectly hand in hand with Loco Dice‘s remix, serving as the Dice‘s imprint’s milestone and a sign of its fast-paced development since the label launched not so long ago in 2023. The original version by Kapuchon and Sven, alongside a fierce remix by the SB Recordings‘ boss himself, is now available for your listening pleasure as each version offers its own distinct sonic journey, standing out as a true testament to the synergy between these dance music titans and how Loco Dice has been leading that space, serving as a world-class tastemaker since he launched his famed Desolat label in 2007. Featuring a driving four-on-the-floor bassline, infectious vocals of A$AP Ferg, and a gritty, industrial vibe, “Work” is poised to dominate dancefloors worldwide. As Loco Dice‘s SB Recordings project continues to gain momentum, we eagerly anticipate the exciting collaborations and musical innovations that await this music industry giant.

“I have known Nick, aka AFROJACK, for a very long time. We have mutual friends, the Dutch crew, Benny Rodriguez, and Chuckie, among others. We were always cool with each other, had a good time when we’d meet, exchanged music, etc. Then, one day, Nick sent me “Work,” and I went all for it. I am a huge A$AP Ferg fan, and I was amazed that someone really did it and made something original with it. I started to play it immediately to crowds going mental to it. I also realized that I could do something with the track and make it even more mine. I proposed the release on my label, so here it is, and I can’t be happier. Nick and I have always wanted to do something together, and now, the time has come.” – Loco Dice

“Me and Loco Dice go way back, so I’m very happy to finally put something out together, and it’s amazing to get creative with Sven‘s fresh take on the genre.” – AFROJACK/Kapuchon

Loco Dice

From early breakout hit “Phat Dope Shit” in 2002 to agenda-setting debut album “7 Dunham Place” on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut came to the major label follow-up “Underground Sound Suicide” with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was “Love Letters.” Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few; he has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world’s top festivals, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. His lockdown move was to unveil En Couleur, a label reserved exclusively for the music he produced at that time. It shows another side of Dice‘s ever-evolving sound. What followed were his clothing brand Seran Bendecidos and SB Recordings, a new label open to all styles of dance music, a recent release is a testament to that approach. All of this proves, then, that he is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force.

Kapuchon/AFROJACK

As one of the most innovative and sought-after artists, GRAMMY Award-winning producer and DJ AFROJACK, continues to shatter boundaries that push music in bold new directions. Since making his breakthrough with the multi-platinum-selling single ‘Take Over Control‘, the Dutch-born, genre-bending musician, now signed to The Shalizi Group, has lent his production skills to tracks and co-created major hits for artists such as Beyoncé, Pitbull, Will.i.am, Lil Jon and more. In recent years, AFROJACK was named one of the 50 Most Important People in EDM by Rolling Stone and placed on the Forbes ’30 Under 30′ music list. In 2010, he was one of the first DJs to secure a Las Vegas residency and now, fourteen years later, he continues to entertain global audiences as a headlining resident artist for the Wynn Las Vegas. AFROJACK continuously travels the world performing at the biggest clubs and festivals while producing new music with his label WALL Recordings, which recently completed construction of a new 800,000+ Sq Ft artist development center.

Sven Fields

Sven Fields has been paving the way for himself since he was a teenager. Inspired by the eclectic music tastes of his parents, Sven began his journey into music production at 19. Frequenting local clubs with friends, he developed a deep appreciation for hip-hop and house music, shaping his unique style. His breakthrough came in 2023 when he was discovered by AFROJACK during a gaming session in Call of Duty: Warzone. This chance encounter led to a signing with AFROJACK‘s label, WALL Recordings. Sven released a collaboration with AFROJACK‘s tech house alias ‘Kapuchon‘ and a remix of AFROJACK‘s classic ‘Polkadots‘ with Chasner. These tracks garnered significant attention, earning support from renowned DJs such as Diplo, Sofi Tukker, Martin Garrix, and more. Since 2024, Sven Fields‘ tracks have been supported by prominent names in the industry, including Meduza, AFROJACK, James Hype, Gordo, Diplo, and Loco Dice. His innovative approach of blending hip-hop elements with tech house has made waves on the SoundCloud charts and Beatport’s Tech House chart. Sven‘s latest release, “Fuego,” on his label Fields Vision, reflects his dedication and evolving talent in the tech house scene.

written by the partae

LA-Based Powerhouse Artist – The Archer, Delivers Organic and Spiritual House Anthem “Say Your Grace,” Featuring Lisa Odour-Noah. Out now on There Is A Light Label Also Serving as Foundation Helping Achieve Underprivileged People’s Dreams

 

Artists: The Archer, Lisa Oduor-Noah
Title: Say Your Grace
Label: There Is A Light
 

Los Angeles-based DJ and producer The Archer unveils his latest house single, “Say Your Grace,” featuring the soulful vocals of Kenyan singer-songwriter Lisa Oduor-Noah. With its organica-house downtempo beat and touching lyrics, “Say Your Grace” is both hypnotizing and soothing at the same time. Released on There Is A Light, the label and foundation established by The Archer himself, which so far gave away over 600K USD to 100+ students to lift up genuine talent and create real opportunities for them, helping them sing for and finish IO Music Academy and more opportunities the foundation creates.

“At the core of the label and scholarship initiatives is a commitment to lifting up genuine talent and creating real opportunities for emerging artists to share their music with the world. In an industry that’s become more about inflated numbers and flashy promos, the focus remains on fostering authentic artistry. We’re here to build a space where substance matters more than superficiality, where real music thrives. Working daily on the development of the label and its roster, I’ve learned firsthand how an artist can truly grow when they have the right support system. It’s more than just dropping tracks – it’s about ensuring each release is backed by creative marketing, smart promotion and unwavering support. With this foundation, our artists aren’t just surviving the noise; they’re standing out, letting their unique voices be heard and their talents recognized and shared. Looking back on the students we have supported through our scholarship programs, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see raw potential evolve into fully realized talent. Our collaboration with Icon Collective and IO Music Academy has been a game-changer, breathing new life into these artists’ productions and careers. Their progress is a powerful reminder of how partnership and dedicated support can generate the future of music.” – The Archer about There Is A Light foundation

Having enjoyed a fruitful year of music and performances in 2023, it’s time for Auckland indie-rock/pop act COAST ARCADE to step into their next phase of evolution. 

Returning with their first single for 2024 in ‘BAITED’, Coast Arcade demonstrate that the sense of fun and chemistry that has threaded through their previous material has refused to wane, yet the songwriting and storytelling talent they harness has continued to refine as they look forward to more new music on the horizon.

Recorded at Big Fan Studios in Auckland, ‘Baited’ was produced by Coast Arcade’s Bella Bavin, with Clint Murphy (North Atlas, Enter Shikari) on mixing, award-winning producer and songwriter Noema Te Hau (Lorde, Taylor Swift) on engineering, and Ryan Smith (L.S. Dunes, Smashing Pumpkins) on mastering. A dream team in effect to bring ‘Baited’ to life, Coast Arcade have said about the creative process behind this project, 

“We’re going to go heavier for a little while and see where we end up, we’re really excited to be working with people who really support and back the band.”  COAST ARCADE

Accompanying the release of ‘Baited’, Coast Arcade have also shared today the OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for the track. Filmed in and around Auckland City, Coast Arcade captures the energy of the song, under the direction of David Argue. Says the band about how ‘Baited’ came together and what it represents for them, 

“‘Baited’ is for anyone who has ever felt like they couldn’t or shouldn’t stand up for themselves. People will always tell you to “pick your battles” or “it’s not worth it” but if it’s important to you, you should speak your mind.”  COAST ARCADE

Since 2021, Coast Arcade have been building and developing an enviable reputation as a live act; clocking impressive opening spots early for the likes of Bootleg Rascal, The Grogans, The Terrys, Teenage Dads and The Beths. Curating an unbeatable electricity together on stage, Coast Arcade have been able to bring the energy felt on record, effortlessly to their live performances. 

Their debut EP, 2023’s Next To Me, introduced listeners to the breadth of Coast Arcade’s writing and instrumentation; exciting music building on vibrant melodies and arrangement. Featuring singles ‘Surf Club’ and ‘Highest Heights’ – the latter of which has accrued over 200,000 streams alone – the EP was the perfect statement of intent and a display of the potential this young group had tapped into.

With the release of ‘Baited’, Coast Arcade pick up where they left off, regenerating the buzz of 2023 and flipping into a bright new moment as we head into the second half of 2024.

PRAISE

“With their infectious energy, powerful melodies, and insightful lyricism, this captivating band is poised to leave a mark on the music scene both in New Zealand and beyond.”

ONES TO WATCH

“The Beths may need to take a glance over their shoulder – Coast Arcade‘s new stadium-ready indie rock bop Highest Heights is ready to take over.”

NZ MUSICIAN

“Coast Arcade are a bright, young, vibrant band pushing their way into the New Zealand music scene with their surf-indie-rock style that has made impressions with myself and others across the country.”

by the partae September 4, 2024
written by the partae

MG Live and Frontier Touring proudly announce Grammy award-winning hip-hop visionaries The Roots east coast tour for January 2025 – the band’s first Australian headline tour in 12 years! ​ Joining The Roots at all shows as special guests will be US legendary Brooklyn based MC Talib Kweli and three-time Grammy nominated songwriter from Melbourne, Nai Palm.

Frontier Member presale commences Tuesday 10 September from 1pm local before tickets go on sale Wednesday 11 September from 2pm local time. Tickets via frontiertouring.com/theroots

Kicking off 2025, Melbourne fans will be lucky enough to enjoy an evening with The Roots at Melbourne’s beautiful Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Wednesday 1 January to celebrate New Years Day before heading to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Thursday 2 January, with a final AU show at Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Outdoors on Friday 3 January.

 

“a hip-hop group like no other keep their freak-flag flying” ★★★★ – The Guardian

 

“arguably Hip-Hop’s greatest band ever: The Roots” – Syphersights

 

The Roots were co-founded by childhood friends Black Thought and Questlove in 1987 with their passionate and innovative approach to hip-hop playing underground gigs in Philadelphia, New York and across Europe. From releasing their debut album Organix in 1993, the band have gone on to release 11 studio albums and released legendary hip-hop hits including ‘You Got Me ft. Erykah Badu’, ‘Hang in There (with John Legend)’, ‘The Seed (2.0) ft. Cody ChesnuTT’, ‘Never ft. Patty Crash’, ‘The Next Moment’, ‘What They Do’ and ‘Don’t Say Nuthin’’. ​ In 2009, the band began their tenure as house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Displaying an impeccable knack for versatility and improvisation, the band have become a fixture on television screens across the world to this day cementing their place within pop culture history. ​ Questlove also serves as the show’s Musical Director.

After nearly 20 years of releasing mesmerizing music, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented and most accomplished Hip Hop artists. Whether working with Mos Def as one-half of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, or Madlib, Kweli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme over virtually any type of instrumental.

In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, which is self-defined as “a platform for independent thinkers and doers.” Kweli has set out to make Javotti Media (which released his 2011 album, Gutter Rainbows, and is named after his paternal grandmother) into a media powerhouse that releases music, films and books.

written by the partae

DELUXE VERSION OF 4X4 + GIRL EDM OUT SEP 6 ON NLV RECORDS

+ SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘ANGEL MUSIC’ WITH MGNA CRRRTA

Photo by Aria Zarzycki

PRAISE FOR NINAJIRACHI

“Shape-shifting producer”
Clash Magazine

“One of the most appreciated Australian electronic producers, simultaneously
garnering respect from the experimental underground and the mainstream
“
Rolling Stone

“​​Ninajirachi is a crown jewel of Australia’s dance scene”
triple j

“beneath Ninajirachi’s immaculate aesthetic moulding, there’s a deep
knowledge of crowd-pleasing, extraordinarily satisfying dance music”

The Guardian

“Ninajirachi takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through fully realised worlds of pseudo-ambient
IDM, ultra-shimmery hyperpop and deftly meticulous, boundary-pushing aquacrunk”

NME

“Her music has a shimmery, fractal, fantastical quality balanced with the toughness of bass that bangs in a way that makes you want to get off your butt and get moving”
Billboard

“one of the most inventive artists in the electronic music space“
EDM.com

“encapsulates a sound and a feeling that is taking the underground
electronic music scene by storm”

Metal Magazine

 

A sonic summary of her most prolific musical years, Ninajirachi today announces girl EDM (disc 1), the deluxe edition of her previous EPs girl EDM and 4×4, out this September 6 via NLV Records. With the news, she also shares her brand new single, ‘Angel Music’ with MGNA Crrrta. LISTEN HERE + PRE-SAVE GIRL EDM (DISC 1) HERE.

Expanding on the narrative Ninajirachi introduced with the initial releases of 4×4 and girl EDM, girl EDM (disc 1) combines tracks from both EPs to mark the perfect vehicle for new fans and day one listeners alike to discover, revisit and familiarise with the Ninajirachi canon before the next phase begins. In another installment of a body of work that showcases Ninajirachi’s range on an individual and collaborative level, today she shares her new track ‘Angel Music’ with NYC-based duo MGNA Crrrta. A perfect anchor point for the deluxe edition, ‘Angel Music’ is a frenzied highlight that finds a way to meet in the middle of both projects’ take on golden-era infused electro-pop.

Hitting the spot with super-bass and bouncy synth leads, ‘Angel Music’ is built on the shared interest of simultaneous dance music innovation and revival, of which Ninajirachi shares “I toured America with MGNA Crrrta in Jan/Feb 2024 and we made this song in New York, then I played it for the first time ever at EDC. MGNA Crrrta are sooooo brilliant and adventurous, their music, videos, shows, everything I’m so obsessed and inspired by them. Angel Music sounds like both of us it’s sooooo girl edm..”. MGNA Crrrta continue, “There are girls and there is EDM and there is Ninajirachi and MGNA CRRRTA…This is an international collaboration and lifestyle experience…Nina is a beacon for girl dance and EDM.” 

With her feet firmly planted in the Australian industry and international music landscape, Ninajirachi effortlessly draws from her earliest influences of electronic music to pull apart the seams of hard dance, electro house, trance and pop. Showcased in the release of her debut mixtape Second Nature, 2023 EP 4×4 and most recent girl EDM, she’s picked up praise from the likes of triple j, Crack Magazine, Kaltblut, Metal Magazine, Clash Magazine, Bandcamp, Billboard, Frankie Magazine, Rolling Stone, 10 Magazine among others for her innovation and inclusivity in the wider electronic scene.

On the live circuit, she’s toured North America over the last 12 months with festival performances at Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Hard Summer, Breakaway Festival and Imagine Festival, as well as a sold-out Los Angeles headline debut in 2024 and held her own flagship live event Dark Crystal with this year’s special guest, NYC-based producer Doss. An artist pioneering forward-thinking club, pop, electronic, and dance music, the uniqueness of Ninajirachi’s abilities extends past virtual limits, charting her proposition in the winder electronic space both locally and globally.
