The resident star FG will never cease to surprise us. Always very productive, we know he likes to explore all kinds of musical genres. But from there to composing for international K-pop stars, we hadn’t come to him. Proof of David Guetta’s always exceptional influence in the world of pop in the broadest sense.

For a little over a year, David Guetta has been releasing a lot of club tracks with his pseudonym Jack Back and also with his great Danish friend Morten. For his latest single to date, he has again collaborated with his favorite singer SIA for the excellent Let’s Love.

And it is following the release in October of The Album, the new album of the Blackpink, that we discovered the presence of David Guetta on Lovesick Girls, one of the flagship singles of the opus.

Listening to the track Lovesick Girls, whether you like K Pop or not, you can feel that the Frenchman has managed to adapt to this musical style by delivering a production adapted to the genre.

Producer, composer and most recently vocalist, Petit Biscuit recently announced the completion of his second studio album. The French talent now offers more details on this opus entitled “Parachute”, which will be released on October 30th. Among the details to remember, the album should allow Mehdi Benjelloun to assert himself as a singer in his own right.

Parachute includes nine tracks, including the recent Drivin Thru The Night, and the collaboration “I Leave Again” alongside Shallou. Petit Biscuit explains: “Parachute is a much more personal record than Presence. On his social networks, he details the entire album’s playlist, including a second collaboration, this time with the American megastar Diplo, called “Pick Your Battles”.

The title “Parachute” of the album illustrates the new security found by the producer after having exposed himself by rethinking his way of writing.

It may seem incredible in these times of pandemic caused by COVID, but there is going to be an Ultra festival this year… in Taiwan. As in China, where economic and cultural activity has resumed without restriction for several months now, the island has managed to control the epidemic so that, at most, only 7 people are affected by the coronavirus every day – for a
population of 23 million people. It is in this exceptional context in view of the health situation in other countries in the world that Ultra announced that an edition of Road to Ultra would take place on the island state.
On the program for this edition, which will take place on November 14: Alesso, Kayzo, Slander and Vini Vici. The last edition in 2018 welcomed artists of the caliber of DJ Snake, Nicky Romero or Tchami & Malaa. For the most ambitious (and for those who would have the opportunity), you can go there on condition that you are COVID negative after a 2-week
quarantine period. Remember that the doubt is still hanging over the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, which is supposed to take place next March…

Yes, even after his tragic death, we still discover new productions of Avicii. This is what Aloe Blacc recently revealed to us.

In an interview published in the German newspaper “Brigitte”, the American singer reveals that after working with the Swedish DJ on the legendary “Wake me up” and then on “SOS”, the two men worked two days in the studio. The result of this session is a sound entitled “Please Forgive Me”. The written notes were discovered and kept by Avicii’s family, and Aloe Blacc said he was honored to have the opportunity to help continue Avicii’s legacy.

Blacc’s responses in the interview are a clear indication that there is still much Avicii music waiting to be revealed. We hope to discover them as soon as possible!

At the end of August, Calvin Harris unveiled his collaboration with American pop star The Weeknd. With this track, the Scot once again shows his ability to shine both on mainstream music and on a much more underground and specialized music.

As with ‘Slide’ a few years ago, the English superstar revealed the making of of his track ‘Over Now. Already a success through which we discover the different layers and subtleties of the composition. We also discover with pleasure, that Calvin Harris used a Roland 303, a synthesizer very appreciated by producers since the 90s.

What could be better than listening to the songs you were humming on your way to middle school or high school? Spotify has decided to launch this new playlist called ‘Time Capsule’. It contains 50 tracks and will (no doubt) give you a lot of memories, feelings and more…

Totally personalized according to your listening, your country and even your age, this set of tracks will be updated as time goes by. So if you want to travel between the timeless band O-Zone, Avicii’s classics or David Guetta’s old hits, you know what you have to do! 

Have a good trip!

Another hard time for Tomorrowland, even if many people already suspected it, given the current evolution of the health crisis in France and the arrival of March with great strides: Tomorrowland Winter 2021, it’s already over! Indeed, the festival has just announced it by mail to festival-goers and posted an announcement on its official website.

The message states that “Tomorrowland Winter 2021 cannot take place given the uncertain conditions created by COVID-19”. This is understandable given the preparation time that this type of event requires, both for the organizers and for the local partners. The organizers have already initiated reimbursement procedures. It should also be noted that at no time does the festival anticipate a Tomorrowland Winter 2022. To be continued…!

The good news is coming for Ed Sheeran fans. After the end of the “Divide Tour” of all records, the British singer took a break to devote himself to his private life. However, he made the headlines again with the birth of his daughter from his union with Cherry Seaborn last September. This time, it is once again for musical reasons that the interpreter of “Perfect” is the talk of the town. It could be that a new album is being prepared…

Ed Sheeran has already returned to the studio

The news comes from his manager Stuart Camp. Invited in the English podcast “Straight Up”, he reveals that the artist has already started recording and that the album “will probably be released next year”. A piece of information that Ed Sheeran’s collaborator had already put forward in an interview for the BBC in 2019: “He [Ed Sheeran] has already returned to the studio to write and record what will become his fifth album. We won’t let anything come out that isn’t excellent. That’s what we did with the previous two albums where we decided to keep going until we were sure what we had. It’s a lot of work.

Ed Sheeran: Artist of the Decade

In his 10-year career since the release of his first album, Ed Sheeran has established himself as one of the biggest stars on today’s music scene. In 2019, he is the artist who has remained in the top 10 most listened to music the longest with 3 singles in the top 5 of the last ten years, including the hit “Shape Of You”, which sold more than 4.5 million copies. His “Divide Tour” has become the most profitable tour in history with over $736 million in revenue. These numerous records earned Ed Sheeran the UK’s Artist of the Decade award

It had recently become clear that the French producer had turned towards the 70s and 80s, even more than usual. His latest single Dat’s Right was further proof of this. And very soon after, he’s starting again today with a new remix called Sweet Freedom.

Named after the hit of the genius Michael McDonald released in 1986 (in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100). Since last year, Norman Doray, often accompanied by Arno Cost (Morning Light, Darlin’ ), delivers festive House sounds of very good quality. We validate at 100 %!

This is THE test you have to take.

In a few days, a Spanish club (the Sala Apolo in Barcelona) will serve as a guinea pig to evaluate – life-size – the organization of an evening in the midst of an epidemic. Objective: To reconcile partying and the necessary protection against covid-19.

Under the direction of a team of scientists, an event will bring together more than 1000 spectators and will stage a covid-compatible and at the same time realistic evening, taking into account what the public can accept. In this case, no physical distancing measures will be set (there, the public would surely have passed by) but the wearing of masks and hand disinfection will be mandatory.

It should also be noted that on the day of the concert, the spectators will undergo an antigen test (ultra-rapid test) and that they will of course be monitored before and after the show.

This test – which will be a world first – will allow us to study possible contaminations but above all will hopefully show that by respecting a few rules, we can once again find our way to concerts, clubs, festivals, without taking any health risks.
