Electronic music collided with profound history on October 2 when Greek producer ARGY staged his audiovisual concept, NEWORLD, at the iconic Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City.

Serving as NEWORLD’s sole Southeast Asian tour stop, the landmark event—organized by Dance with ELAN—featured Drumcode founder Adam Beyer and DJ-vocalist Alex Mills.

Also known as Reunification Palace, the historic site is famously intertwined with the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.

Transforming the landmark into a dynamic canvas, the production utilized custom 3D projection mapping across the palace facade, integrating modern visuals with historical architecture.

Beatport has locked in fresh financing led by private investment firm Square Nine Capital to accelerate its next growth phase.

Announced on September 30, the strategic deal refinances an existing credit facility while injecting new capital to expand its suite of products, streaming services, and artist tools.

The funding arrives shortly after Matt Gralen took over as CEO from Robb McDaniels, who oversaw a massive run where annual revenues quadrupled and users crossed the one-million mark. Moving far beyond digital downloads, Beatport is fortifying its ecosystem across production, streaming, and artist services for dance music creators worldwide.

Techno luminary Boys Noize (Alex Ridha) is stepping behind the screen once again to score Replacer, an upcoming psychosexual horror film starring pop superstar Halsey.

Marking Halsey’s first leading cinematic role, the movie follows a stranded, troubled DJ named Proxy who gets sucked into the orbit of an alluring circle running an underground Montreal radio station.

When a sinister, mysterious signal from beneath the subway corrupts their transmissions, it unleashes a harrowing transformation.

With Avan Jogia directing, Lilly Wachowski executive producing, and Ridha’s abrasive industrial techno pedigree behind the sound design, Replacer promises a gritty, club-fueled descent into psychological dread.

House music heavyweight Dom Dolla is dialing up the production for his next touring chapter.

Coming hot off a monumental hometown performance in front of 60,000 fans at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, the Australian producer announced a completely refreshed live show that has been months in development.

To celebrate the rollout, Dom is giving away two double passes across seven featured tour stops: Melbourne, New York, the Bay Area, Nashville, Chicago, Singapore, and Auckland.

Fans simply need to comment their city and tag a friend on his official Instagram announcement post to enter.
