Let’s dive into how and why art, and music in particular, hold transformative power in today’s world. by Sam van Busse In an era where cultural shifts happen faster than the latest electronic beat drops, art remains a steadfast force of change, capable of challenging perceptions, inspiring movements, and creating unity.  Art, in all its forms, is a dialogue between creator and audience, but in the electronic music scene, it’s a experience that brings people together, breaks down barriers, and alters societal landscapes. Yes, art can change the world—and here’s how electronic music and visual art have been at the forefront of this revolution. 1.

Written by: Saranda Vraniqi Exit , now world-renowned, held its 24th festival this year.   This article won't cover who performed or how many awards the festival has garnered so far. You can find all that on Exit's official website.  Instead, I'll try to paint a picture of one evening/night at the festival from my perspective —how the eyes, soul, and other senses of a long-time clubber (and journalist) experienced one of my favorite festivals. To better understand why you might consider my opinion on the festival, I'll share a bit about myself. I'm 45 years old and have been a clubber since I was two. It sounds surreal, but it's my truth . My love for music and dancing started on my dad's lap as he bounced me to the rhythm of the music. My dad, who deserves his own novel (which I won't write now), took me with him to discos and cafes like a little sidekick. By the age of four, people recognized me on the street as the "little girl from the disco....

Den Atelier has confirmed that the English rave band, The Prodigy, is set to ignite the stage at Rockhal in Luxembourg, on November 28, 2023.  This news follows their last electrifying performance in Luxembourg back in 2018. For over three decades, The Prodigy has carved a unique path through the electronic dance music landscape.  While many electronic artists often adopt an image-unconscious approach, The Prodigy stood out by placing frontmen Keith Flint and Maxim Reality at the forefront.  Their incendiary live performances recreated the original spirit of the British rave scene, blending elements of arena rock showmanship and punk theatrics. Behind the scenes, it was producer Liam Howlett's studio wizardry that propelled The Prodigy to chart-topping success during the late '90s electronica boom. Howlett crafted a sonic tapestry of hard-hitting breakbeat techno , interwoven with colossal hooks and unforgettable samples. Their performance promises an unparallele...
