That music can indeed help change society is not a new idea for EXIT , the award-winning music festival that started two decades ago as a youth movement for peace and freedom in Serbia and the Balkans.  Twenty years later, EXIT is still a force for change and supports social and environmental issues. The Serbian Government has just adopted EXIT’s Green R:Evolution initiative in which the Festival juggernaut, backed by several local environmental organizations, calls for the mass reforestation that will increase the country’s forest cover by almost 50%. The Serbian Government has begun developing strategic plans for countrywide mass planting actions according to which Serbia's forest cover is expected to increase from the current 28% to at least 40% of the country’s total surface area. This increase means that the Government has pledged to plant almost 1 billion trees in the years to come: "Serbia is willing to do its share to fight climate change. We are commi

Leando Delanuuka best known as Le Martz is one of the most relevant new artist from Buenos Aires that has grown rapidly gaining tons of recognition in the local and international scene. We first heard of his work on techno label from Kosovo,  TMM Records  with his  Magma EP  in 2017. His Debut Ep 'SIMC0007' on Simplecoding is one of our favorites and got amazing reviews from us. Very good work! Now he Le Martz comes back with his second Ep named System with 2 original tracks loaded with sequenced sounds and pounding lows. This ep also contain remixes from the Mexican Damian Vargas and the Argentinian Oruam Zior to complement nicely and making this one great 2019 finale. Our favorite form this EP is Dry but we do love both remixes! This EP will be out soon on Simlecoding owned by Juan Trujillo. We are sooooo into Argentinian # techno :)

New research shows that by properly using MDMA, it is possible to avoid that exhausted and unhelpful feeling after partying. Dr. Ben Sessa, a Bristol psychiatrist, is currently undergoing MDMA psychotherapy and research. He argues that the use of MDMA for medical purposes did not record cases of typical mood drop and drop of motivation, as in recreational use, but a hangover prescribed as lack of sleep, high volume of movement and negligent drug use, while MDMA alone does not seem to leave such consequences. Dr. Ben Sessa claims that his patients treated for alcoholism use MDMA properly and in controlled doses where they talk about the occurrence of "afterglow" instead of partisans known as "the day after.

EXIT festival has been working on promoting mental health awareness for years – both the mental health care of their employees, as well as festival visitors. People who work in creative industries are continually exposed to stress due to the particular nature of this work. Statistics confirm this, stating that around 75% of people working in the festival industry had at some point experienced anxiety , depression , burn-out , or stress -related health issues. Exit created a context in which all the people work for the festival will be able to work in pleasant conditions and work atmosphere, which is the main responsibility of Well-Being sector. During the year, employees will receive psychological and emotional support, for which Exit prepared mental health professionals with years of experience. During the festival, the team of professionals joined by several psychologists and psychotherapists, in order to cover all potential needs and take care of people. People care re

The electronic music from the clubs went much further and opened up some new perspectives. In Germany , this has long been an important part of the culture , with the Nuremberg team turning one high-speed train into its own Techno Rave Train.  The Techno Rave Train  is a 10-wagon composition set off from Nuremberg in March 2019.  The two wagons were dancefloors and chill out, and the rest was for non-smokers who had a solid sound system.

Fresh from serving up some savage " Rave Reworks " on an ultra-limited 12" single, techno's leading number crunchers return with an EP of fresh studio jams.  As usual, what's on offer is intense, full-throttle and mind-altering in the extreme.  Check, for example, opener (and title track) " 000000005 ", where increasingly ragged, wayward and psychedelic acid lines surge forwards over a stomping, kick-drum dominated beat, or " 000000006 ", an acid techno onslaught that waves a glow-stick towards the Halcyon days of German techno-trance.  The acid-fired '90s techno revivalism continues on the flip with two more chunks of sweaty, mind-altering peak-time insanity. Not one for the faint hearted. [ source ]

DJ Bone explains how he helps homeless people in Amsterdam through parties. DJ Bone from Detroit  is currently living in Amsterdam with his wife where he presented a project called the Homeless Homies Benefit Showcase at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). It was held at the Shelter Club where DJ Bone is currently a resident of DJ and the name of the club is symbolic in this case. All the money raised at this ADE event will go to two homeless shelters in Amsterdam . One of the shelters accommodates the homeless during the day and the other during the night. Eric and Ahna (DJ Bone and his wife) have been helping homeless people sell music on his Subject Detorit label for a long time, and over time this has become an organization operating in Detroit and Amsterdam. One of the favorite events they did was in Detroit when they organized a rave party that people could go to without paying entry but had to bring some supplies for shelter. There was a succ

After the stunning Ostati album released on Organic Analogue last year, Georgia's HVL is back with a new album on the label for his home turf, Bassiani.  As a resident of the infamous Tbilisi club, he knows innately how to communicate the vibe of one of the world's most widely discussed techno clubs, only this time he's taken a slightly tougher stance.  " Eyes In The Sky " has a fierce, paranoid acid edge, while "F12 (Korg Patch Mix)" gets into freaky, cerebral techno territory.  There are intriguing interludes and skits, and plenty more dancefloor heaters delivered with an inventiveness that once again affirms HVL's status as one of the brightest talents operating in the loosely defined field of deep techno.

Cisco Ferreira continues to fly the flag for rugged hardware powered techno with personality, well over 20 years since he first emerged.  The Advent is rightly hailed as a mark of assured quality for good reason, and Thema makes a smart move in signing up this fresh grip of tracks from the veteran producer.  " Kombination 100 " is a lurid, slightly unhinged acid workout from the outer limits, while " Dorian Blue " sets a more moody , aquatic tone with a dash of electro thrown in for good measure.  " In Time " brings things up in tempo and attitude, sporting some surging 909 drums guaranteed to get bodies striding with purpose, and then " Rhythm " spins out into trippy electro territory for the heads-down travelers to get spiritually expanded to.
