Photo by Shannon MarksAcclaimed drummer, producer, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven releases four new singles today, one from each of his four upcoming EPs –– Techno Logic, The People’s Mixtape, Hidden Out!, and PopUp Shop –– that will be released on all music platforms October 31st. The new singles –– “Boom Bapped,” “The Beat Up,” “Dark Parks,” and “Los Gatos” –– and subsequent EPs are all compiled on a 2xLP and 2xCD physical release titled Off the Record, which is available for preorder now and in stores October 10th via International Anthem / Nonesuch / XL Recordings. Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s In These Times (“McCraven’s most ambitious set of music” -GRAMMY.com) and a return to the signature “organic beat music” approach that Makaya first debuted on his 2015 album In The Moment and further developed Highly Rare (2017), Where We Come From (2018), and Universal Beings (2018). Built from live recordings, McCraven reshapes the music via extensive editing, overdubs, and post-production at his home studio in Chicago.
Listen to the singles from each of the four EPs, and preorder Off the Record on 2LP/2CD here.

Major Lazer takes America with massive events across the country for Lazer Weekend
WITH MASSIVE EVENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR LAZER WEEKENDJOIN KAI CENAT, 12-HOUR TWITCH STREAM
FROM LAS VEGAS, ELECTRIFYING SHOWS,
AN APPLE MUSIC RADIO TAKEOVER AND MORE
Photo cedit Cambron LylesSeptember 16, 2025—Major Lazer, the Diplo-founded, genre-breaking, boundary shifting, multi-platinum and diamond certified juggernaut, have stormed the country in what they’re dubbing Lazer Weekend.On Thursday, the group took control of Apple Music Radio for an hour mix of fan-favorite tracks, unreleased music and an impromptu freestyle by Major Lazer’s newest member, America Foster. Later that night, they performed a surprise set for Kai Cenat—Twitch’s most popular streamer—in his bathroom during his Mafiathon3 marathon livestream to more than 115,000 viewers. They ended the day with a high energy pop-up performance at a USC frat.The group followed up on Friday with a 12-hour Twitch livestream across Las Vegas that saw the hitmakers training with UFC champ Merab Dvalishvili and Power Slap slap fighters, Diplo moonlighting as an aquarium mermaid, a mukbang at Michelin-awarded restaurant Din Tai Fung, multiple sets across the city including a massive charity block party for 6,000 people, giving one fan a $10,000 shopping spree and much more. The group played unreleased music from forthcoming projects throughout the stream, which brought in more than 425,000 viewers over the course of the day.Lazer rounded out the weekend with a surprise set at an ASU tailgate on Saturday before taking their act to the headline stage of Goldrush Festival later that night.The group recently returned with a new track, “GANGSTA,” featuring dancehall superstar and longtime collaborator Busy Signal and pioneer of the Basshall movement Kybba—listen HERE. “GANGSTA” is the long-awaited follow up to the 2013 cult classic “Watch Out for This (Bumaye)” with Busy Signal. The track also sees the group team up with Kybba, the Italy-raised, Amsterdam-based DJ/producer behind the Basshall Movement. The group teased the track alongside tons of new music this summer around the world.With the dawn of a new chapter for Major Lazer, Diplo has recruited British-Jamaican breakout America Foster into the fold. Foster is an artist and all-around performer whose distinctive style and authentic voice caught Diplo’s attention, leading to a collaboration in Jamaica that evolved into a formal place in the group. America joins Diplo and longtime members Walshy Fire and Ape Drums for the latest iteration of the legendary group. Founded to further Diplo’s studio experimentation and celebrate a lifelong love of Caribbean music, Major Lazer has become one of the most successful groups of all time.

GELLI HAHA debut tour! 2 Nights in NYC, dates w/ Marc Rebillet, Polo & Pan & more
Gelli Haha Debut US Tour Kicks Off This Month
Headlining 2 Nights in NYC (SOLD OUT)
Dates w/ Marc Rebillet, Polo & Pan and More
Acclaimed Album Switcheroo Out Now via Innovative Leisure
Photo By Sophie Prettyman-Beauchamp
“equally weighted between the weird and the naggingly catchy, as much inspired by analog funk and boogie from the ‘70s and ‘80s as it is by the likes of Kate Bush and Björk” THE NEEDLE DROP
“a bright, pop-trance record that will also likely resonate with the Chappell Roan crowd” FLOOD
“a punkish post-disco pop record full of surprises and heart” PASTE
Cool Band Alert… “a veritable buffet of dancefloor-ready sounds, from bubbly disco rave-ups and gritty underground club bangers, to stretched out slow jams that ache with sincerity.” Bandcamp
“A delightfully deranged party girl whose bleepy vintage synths, sleazy chug and tireless disco keeps things weird in the right way” The Guardian
“Gelli Haha is ready for her close-up. The LA artist’s debut LP is for fans of weird and whimsical pop concoctions, offering 10 tracks that would feel at home in either a contemporary art exhibit or a discotheque.” The Boston Globe
“well worth your attention” KCRW
“… an album of such effervescence it is practically a geyser” The Quietus
Gelli Haha hits the road this month in support of her stellar debut album Switcheroo which was released to high acclaim this Summer via Innovative Leisure. Her wild, prop-filled, choreographed live show has quickly become one of LA underground’s most sought after shows and for the first time ever she’s performing across the country. Highlights include two headlining nights in NYC (both sold out), dates supporting Marc Rebillet, Polo & Pan and more.
"Touring is the next phase of the Gelliverse experiment, taking what we’ve built in LA and letting it mutate city by city. Each show is part recess dance party, part musical performance art, and we invite the crowd to become a part of the story. Expect trampoline breaks, a parachute monster, and one big sweaty, silly, dancey family,” says Gelli. See below for a full list of dates. Tickets are available HERE.
A shapeshifter, a sonic acrobat, a performer with one foot in the cosmos and the other in arthouse theatrics, Gelli Haha (pronounced Jelly-Haha) is a space for pure creative chaos that exists somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51. Gelli’s music thrives on duality: playful but profound, tongue-in-cheek but sincere. Switcheroo is the soundtrack to the Gelliverse, a sensory adventure sphere created by Gelli.
With a shared taste for off-kilter pop and vintage gear, producer Sean Guerin (of De Lux) joined Gelli in turning freshly-formed demos into a high-voltage experiment, abandoning meticulous structure for something freer and more electrifying. Every song on Switcheroo makes use of a myriad of recording toys; wacky analog effects, such as the Eventide Harmonizer, MXR Pitch Transposer, and various Electrix units, fashion an intentionally flawed and strictly silly texture throughout the album. Switcheroo is an exercise in letting go, an inside joke turned theatrical spectacle.
Gelli Haha Live Dates:
Sep 26: Charlotte, NC - The Fillmore !
Sep 27: Richmond, VA - Brown’s Island !
Sep 29: Baltimore, MD - Nevermore Hall

Andy Bell (of Erasure) Shares Vince Clarke Remix Ahead Of North American Solo Tour Beginning October 3rd
‘DANCE FOR MERCY’ AHEAD OF NORTH AMERICAN SOLO TOUR, BEGINNING OCTOBER 3RD LISTEN HERE NEW SOLO ALBUM, TEN CROWNS, OUT NOW
Photo by Andreas Blank / @andreasblank2023 / download "Bell’s Renaissance." AMERICAN SONGWRITER “Bell is fortunate, but so are we, that even away from the Erasure mothership he remains so giddily in love with pop” CLASSIC POP"The Erasure frontman works out something open and anthemic on his latest solo album, with producer Dave Audé adding subtler shades to his post-house pop mix." FLOOD "Effervescent." NEW YORK TIMES
“A radiant chapter in Andy Bell’s career, reaffirming his place as one of pop’s most expressive voices.” POST-PUNK “His finest solo album to date” – THE QUIETUS – One of their Albums of the Year So Far
“The joyous spirit of Erasure’s synth-pop has long made it a fixture in the sonic wallpaper of public life. Bell’s solo work radiates a similar energy, and Ten Crowns is no exception.” SPIN Andy Bell has today shared a brand-new remix by Vince Clarke of one of the stand out tracks from the Erasure frontman's studio album, Ten Crowns. The new remix arrives as Bell prepares to follow up his hugely successful UK / European tour with his first ever solo tour of North America. The extensive dates kick off on October 3rd and continue through December – full details below. Listen To 'Dance For Mercy' (Vince Clarke Remix) After four decades of working together, it’s incredible to read Bell’s reaction to the remix: "Vince Clarke never ceases to amaze me. He has managed to turn an upbeat dance track, 'Dance For Mercy', into a soulful, deeply reflective, alternative pop power ballad. He gives the song a feeling which I never knew was there, but which tips the track on its head and gives it an atmosphere that I never imagined it could have. The drums are staggering and the guitar parts are completely inspiring. For me it's a masterclass in synth futurism.” Ten Crowns, released in May of this year, marked a magisterial moment in Andy Bell’s forty-year career, and reconfirms that he is one of the great pop vocalists of our time. Travelling into new dimensions and possibilities with gospel in his heart and dance in his soul clearly suits him. It is also his most successful solo project to date. Bell's four decades of writing and recording with Vince Clarke as Erasure are still going strong - the duo are currently working on a new album together and will celebrate their 40th anniversary next year. For Ten Crowns, Bell threw himself into writing with close friend Dave Audé, the Grammy award-winning producer, remixer and DJ. Andy and Dave had previously collaborated on two Billboard Dance Club Songs number ones together: 2014’s ‘Aftermath (Here We Go)’ and 2016’s ‘True Original’.
*** Best known as one half of Erasure, one of the UK’s most beloved award-winning songwriting partnerships, Andy Bell has a successful and varied parallel solo career with releases that include three solo albums under his own name, and a further two as offshoots of his one-man theatre project, Torsten The Bareback Saint. Throughout his incredible career, he has collaborated with artists as diverse as British Electric Foundation, Jake Shears, Claudia Brücken (Propaganda), Perry Farrell, Boy George, and most recently, Debbie Harry. His ascendancy began when he answered an ad that Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode / Yazoo / The Assembly) had placed in the Melody Maker, and, after a successful audition, the duo formed the phenomenon known as Erasure. Their decades-long songwriting partnership has seen Erasure crowned Best British Group at The Brit Awards and receive the Attitude Icon Award, amongst many other accolades. Since the release of their debut, Wonderland, they have gone on to sell over 20 million albums, 5 of their 18 studio albums hitting the UK number one spot, as well as multiple Top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Their most recent release, 2020’s The Neon, debuted at #4 on the UK Official Albums Chart, and the duo are working on a new Erasure album project. Andy also recently received the ICON Award at the PEUGEOT Attitude PRIDE Awards Europe 2025. The live shows will feature a combination of tracks from the album, as well as Erasure classics.

OASIS REIGN SUPREME AT NORTH AMERICAN TOUR FINALE IN MEXICO CITY
OASIS REIGN SUPREME AT NORTH AMERICAN TOUR FINALE IN MEXICO CITY
LIVE ‘25 TOUR UNITES OVER HALF A MILLION FANS OF ALL GENERATIONS ACROSS NORTH AMERICAN DATES
Rolling Stone “The feel-good event of the year.”
The Hollywood Reporter “Fans of every generation were present, but the evening belonged to those born this century — many of whom cried through song after song.”
Reforma “Oasis brings catharsis to 65,000 fans in Mexico.”
Billboard “Oasis Live ’25 is reawakening a sense of togetherness among Gen Xers and Millennials.”
Excelsior “Oasis was and is the voice of a generation.”
Los Angeles Times “Therapeutic communal experiences that inspire tears of joy among fans.”
The New York Times “An ecstatic, near unified mass.”
El Universal “In every city they visit, more than a concert, it's a cultural event.”
Vogue “Even more than a decade after their infamous (and, thankfully, temporary) breakup, the band’s lore and allure have remained firmly intact—and proven irresistible to 20-somethings.”
Los Angeles Times “Oasis’ comeback is as much about the crowd as it is about the band — as much about the people singing along with the music as it is about the people making it.”
The Wall Street Journal “The band is better than ever.”
Toronto Star “Guitar-driven rock that promises to evoke nostalgia and create memories that will live forever.”
San Francisco Chronicle “A historic moment.”
Rolling Stone “The reason this tour is a ‘must experience’ is simple: For a few hours in a stadium, as you’re bellowing your lungs out to ‘Supersonic’ and other hits, you’re so glad that you’re not trapped in 2025, that it’s possible to go back in time.”
El Heraldo de México “Brought tears to the eyes of young and old alike who attended this historic reunion.”
Variety “The show was over, but another encore of sorts occurred on the 30-minute commute back to New York City, as train cars buzzed with Oasis fans belting out the choruses to ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger,’ ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Live Forever’ a capella. There were older couples who had traveled from overseas, fans in their 20s and 30s who never thought they’d see Oasis live, and children wearing ‘Live Forever’ shirts that were born after the band broke up in 2009.”
The Washington Post “Turns out, singing ‘Wonderwall’ at the top of your lungs inside a football stadium crammed with hype and serotonin is to personally participate in the tying of cosmic loose ends.”
Chicago Sun-Times “This is a new era of Oasis. May they ‘live forever.’”
Esquire “Oasis won over the tens of thousands of New Jerseyans (and New Yorkers, who outnumbered the locals) with their own brand of strife and sentimentality wrapped up in immortal hooks.”
Stereogum “...the euphoria of howling along to anthems like ‘Live Forever’ with thousands upon thousands of others. In those moments, Oasis really did start to feel eternal.”
USA Today “New best friends were made – at least for 120 minutes on a rainy weekend night – as beers were hoisted and lyrics were shouted.”
Rolling Stone “The response to the whole of Oasis's catalog, as well as the remarkable amount of twentysomethings in the crowd, made the case that the band has grown a whole new fanbase across the Atlantic.”

Monday, September 15th, 2025, Mexico City, MX – Following an epic run of shows across North America that have been crowned as “the feel-good event of the year” by Rolling Stone, Oasis reigned supreme at the Live ‘25 North American Tour finale this past weekend at Mexico City’s GNP Seguros Stadium.
The historic tour has brought fans of all generations together as it has made its way across North America with over half a million fans converging on the continent to be part of this undeniably joyously cathartic moment with sold-out stops in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.
As the brothers walked on stage for their first show in Mexico in 17 years on Friday, September 12th, Liam shouted to the rapturous crowd of 65,000, “¡Viva México! It’s good to be back!”
A few songs in and right before a stadium-shaking performance of “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” Liam teased, “Right then Noel, is it you that wants to introduce this next tune? As you’re a big fan of the Poznan. I’ve seen you do it.”
And for the first time on the tour, Noel took it away saying, “Hola, México. The big man here doesn’t ask for much. He doesn’t ask for the hokey pokey or any of that shit, or the Macarena. But for this next song, we’d like everybody to turn around, link arms, jump up and down in time to the music. The world is fucking watching, do not let all the Oasis fans down.”
Throughout both sold-out shows in Mexico City, the cardboard cutout of Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola maintained his position on stage that he has since the tour kickoff in Cardiff. Stood firmly in place faithfully behind the band, it wasn’t just his usual scarf he was wearing – this time, in honor of the Mexico City shows, he was also wearing a traditional charro sombrero, which Liam decided to wear himself for Saturday night’s final two songs.
Prior to the band’s reign over Mexico City, Oasis played the last two American shows on the Live ’25 Tour at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, CA, where Liam confirmed America and Oasis are “the new hot couple.”
During the final moments in LA, Liam offered his thanks to the crowd saying, “Nice one for having us, America. This tour’s been the fucking bollocks man. I wanna thank you man. All of us. For sticking with us over the years. We must be a fucking nightmare to support and follow and we appreciate it – gettin’ to play these beautiful stadiums in front of you beautiful people. Champagne Supernova. Look after yourselves. Take care.”
Later this month, the band will make their return to the UK for their sixth and seventh nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium before continuing to Asia, Australia, and South America.
Ahead of the Rose Bowl shows, Oasis released “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 16 August ‘25).” The track was recorded on Saturday, August 16th, during the first of two sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park, where they performed to over 160,000 fans in total. “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 16 August ‘25)” follows “Bring It On Down (Live from Edinburgh, 9 August ‘25),” “Slide Away (Live from Cardiff, 4 July ‘25),” “Cigarettes & Alcohol (Live from Manchester, 11 July ‘25),” and “Little By Little (Live from London, 2 August ‘25).”
Also released in the lead up to North America was the limited-edition Oasis “Complete Studio Album Collection” box set – including all seven studio albums plus iconic B-sides album The Masterplan on vinyl and CD formats. Available HERE.
(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on October 3rd with limited-edition formats featuring new unplugged versions of classic tracks. Pre-order HERE.

“With Who’s the Clown?, Hobert has asserted her place as one of pop’s great new voices.You’ll love her work.”—Rolling Stone“Who’s The Clown? is a one-woman show of sorts, a peek into
Hobert’s colorful, wacky world.”—NPRSeptember 15, 2025—In the wake of her critically acclaimed debut album Who’s the Clown? , Audrey Hobert is set to play her first-ever headline tour with dates across North America and Europe through March 2026. Kicking off at The Independent in San Francisco on December 1, this run will see stops including Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre, Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, Paris’ La Machine du Moulin Rouge and more.Tickets are on sale to the general public Friday, September 19 at 10 a.m. local time, with artist presale beginning September 17 at 10 a.m. local time, and promoter and Spotify presales September 18 at 10 a.m. local time. See below for full tour routing and visit audreyhobert.net for more information.Fans have eagerly anticipated a tour from Audrey after her instantly sold-out debut shows in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and London. This past weekend, she performed at the reopening of New York City’s Cherry Lane Theater, in the opening week company of Spike Lee, Sofia Coppola, and Brandi Carlile, among others.A lifelong singer, musical theatre devotee and dancer, Audrey got her first taste of songwriting when childhood best friend and then-roommate Gracie Abrams pulled Audrey into the making of her album, The Secret of Us. Together, they wrote some of Gracie’s standouts like “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Risk”—for which Audrey directed the music videos—as well as current global hit “That’s So True.”Following that project, she signed a publishing deal which put on pause her plans to pursue TV writing. As she began writing, she realized the music was undeniably her own, and the project was born, then brought to life with production partner Ricky Gourmet. Released in August on RCA Records to widespread critical acclaim, Who’s the Clown? represents Audrey’s exploration of her own creative vision, as it is the first collection of songs that she ever wrote for herself. Audrey is a one-woman-show, fully realizing all aspects of her music from start to finish—writing songs, singing, directing and editing music videos.AUDREY HOBERT LIVE
