The UK will lose 80% of its clubs in March 2021

 The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) says 81 percent of UK clubs will close by March 2021 without government help. Thus, the organization is urging that venues receive financial help. According to a survey conducted on over 100 clubs, many nightclubs are in jeopardy of closure.

City od Vilnius releases "Socially Distanced" XMas LP

Group of seven Lithuanian electronic music producers have released Re-Xmas, a ‘socially distanced’ Christmas album commemorating the “extraordinary” 2020 festive season. As a video on the Re-Xmas project website explains, the album features reworkings of traditional Christmas songs, including ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘Silent Night and ‘O Christmas Tree’ (‘O Tannenbaum‘), by top local talent.  The ‘ social distancing ’ element sees the composers adding two equal intervals of pause – symbolising two metres’ distance – after each note from the song’s main melody. Every note from a song’s main melody was followed by two equal-length intervals of pause. This gave notes more space and made rhythms much slower, but that was only the beginning.  Contributors include dark-techno DJ Alex Krell, ambient producer Fume and experimental electronic duo Lakeside Culture , with the album’s release supported by Lithuanian DJ collection Antidote Community .  Antidote Community · Re-Xmas The project a

Dosem releases new album single "Megacities"

Spanish melodic techno master Dosem releases new album single ‘ Megacities ’, the second single off his upcoming album ‘Dream Decoder’, out September 25.  A driving club hit, ‘ Megacities ’ will be familiar to many as a staple in Dosem‘s sets. Building on the heavy-hitting sound of ‘ Tower ’, ‘ Megacities ’ opens with a filtered riff that soon gives way deep rhythmic drums.  Championed by the likes of Joris Voorn, Maceo Plex, Camelphat, Gorgon City and Solomun and supported on tastemaker stations like BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and KCRW, Dosem has solidified his reputation as one of Spain’s premier dance producers. Composed during long stays in Tokyo , ‘Dream Decoder’ explores the theory “that links dreams to parallel universes and alternative lives”.  Dosem expands on how this theory and the bustling metropolis heavily inspired the album’s forward-facing and diverse sound:  “I have always found the world of dreams a fascinating subject. Not only have they had a strong impact in my lif
