    Clubbing TV unveils its 2021 Top 40 Live Streaming DJs

    Clubbing TV unveiled its 2021 Top 40 Live Streaming DJs, ranking sets, and live performances over the internet within the span of the past year.

    Marking its second edition, Clubbing TV’s 2021 Top 40 Live Streaming DJs features a range of superstar DJs and new and coming talent as 12 independent professionals in the music industry were asked to give notes on criteria such as regularity, quality, scenery, and fundraising, on an extensive list of artists’ videos. 

    Hitting the number one position was David Guetta with his performance to aid Unicef at the top of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubaï.  Coming in second, was Nora En Pure whose last streams playing from Graubünden or Arnensee in Switzerland were pure magic, and Carl Cox’s groovy live streams with his massive record collection as his backdrop made it to number three. 

    A series of six special categories have been made to reward: “The coolest DJ live stream”, “The most original format”, “The best global initiative”, “The biggest stream”, “The craziest venue”, and “The most notable absentees.”  For a complete list of those awarded, please visit Clubbing TV’s Top 40 list here.

    Clubbing TV is one of the leading forces in the electronic dance music industry with over 1,500 hours of live streams from festivals, clubs, and parties from all over the world.  Fully focused on how to improve the streams on the channel, Clubbing TV has also created its own live-streaming platform at Clubbing.Live to make everything all the easier for DJs and their fan base.

    Woov launches a new live music experience with Carl Cox

    Woov launched its brand-new community-driven hangout experience with the legendary Carl Cox, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, and BT, bringing fans closer to the music than ever before.

    After recently opening its doors to an exclusive experience with Carl Cox, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, and BT, Woov transforms the live music experience into a fully immersive environment allowing fans to converse with their favorite artists and friends all at the same time.  

    With the influx of live-streamed concerts, Woov provides a new platform for some of the biggest artist performances, festivals, and clubs in its digital live music space.  The platform spatially positions the music, the crowd, and other environmental sounds around the viewer to create a fascinating virtual environment. Users can explore various rooms, connect with like-minded people and engage in conversation with the performing acts.

    “A live stream should be more than just a broadcast. It is a virtual music experience that has the potential to connect the artist and the audience. Performing at the first beta event on Woov recently showed that it is possible to create the emotion of partying together in an authentic way and to feel close to the clubbers on the virtual dancefloor.”

    Carl Cox, DJ/Producer 

    “Instead of trying to recreate a complex visual environment, Woov makes you feel like you’re immersed in a group of friends experiencing music through the sense that matters most for music; our hearing. You feel the sound of your friends surrounding you, the sound of the physical space, and the intensity and interaction of the crowd with the DJ. This is incredible not just for the listening audience but for the performer as well.”

    BT, Grammy-Award nominated Producer and Sound Engineer 

    With a belief that live music should be experienced together, Woov is the first community-driven live music hangout that uses digital engineering, audio and voice technology.  Woov is currently in the beta phase and is offering a selection of early birds access to the platform now. To reserve a spot on the guestlist, please visit its official website and stay tuned for a stellar line-up of artist events to be announced.

  • Carl Cox will kick-off Ibiza Soul Food event series

    Carl Cox will kick-off Ibiza Soul Food event series

    Carl Cox will kick-off Ibiza Soul Food on December 12, 2020, which will be an online series of events to support the Ibiza Food Bank to those in urgent need of food on the beloved island.

    Carl Cox - Ibiza Soul Food
    Carl Cox – Ibiza Soul Food

    Pioneered by Universe, Ibiza Soul Food will be hosted exclusively in Woov, a virtual venue to bring the world together to enjoy live music experiences.  Gathering more than 250 volunteers who will deliver food to those in need, the event series will be delivering a number of live performances to those at home all for a great cause. 

    “Ibiza has been a second home to me for many years. The island is a breeding ground of creativity, amazing friendships, and incredible people. Some of these people now need our help in these turbulent times and I’m super excited to be part of the first Ibiza Soul Food edition.”

    Carl Cox

    Ibiza’s music scene has provided unforgettable memories to millions of people who visit the island each year. Now, it is the time to give something back to the people who help nurture the scene in a time when they need it the most.

    Much of the island is currently out of work including thousands of businesses that depend on clubbing and tourism.  Among them include bartenders, venue staff, promo teams on the ground, entertainers, hotel receptionists, and sound and lighting teams. These are the people that have made the clubbing experience of Ibiza, delivering some of the best music events for travelers to revel in the Balearic magic. With the devastation of COVID-19, it has left many people without work for over a year, and it is becoming harder each day.

    Supported by some of the biggest names and brands that are synonymous with the White Isle, Ibiza Soul Food will help support the people of Ibiza through the winter. 100% of the money raised will be used to purchase coupons for fresh food. These will be given alongside weekly food parcels that are delivered and collected by 5000-6000 people each week.

    “We are grateful to Universe and Woov to be able to announce the first in our series of online music events, Ibiza Soul Food and even more excited that one of the first DJ’s to step up to the plate and support us is the mighty Carl Cox alongside Bushwacka, Syreeta and Secret Society’s Mark Greene that are also supporting us.”

    Tina Browning, one of the coordinators of the Ibiza Food Bank

    2020 has been an extraordinary year and has made us all realize how fragile things can be. Being asked to help raise awareness and feed families in Ibiza is almost unimaginable which is why we stepped straight in and the first call was to the King, Carl Cox. Hopefully, Coxy’s example will encourage others to get on board and for people to join in – after all it’s only £2 for four hours of music.”

    Alon Shulman, CEO Universe

    For additional information about Ibiza Soul Food or for updates on any future events,  please visit their official Facebook page.

    Carl Cox – Ibiza Soul Food – 1st edition:

    • Saturday, December 12th (EU & UK only)

    The event, which will raise funds over the weekend of World Children’s Day, will support children in developing countries and is an initiative by the charity Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ).

    With Sasha performing from an iconic location in Ibiza and Carl Cox sharing a set from Australia, Kevin Saunderson will be delivering a worldwide exclusive with his new project, “The Saundersons.”  The artist will be featuring a special back-to-back set with his sons, “The Saunderson Brothers” and revealing a special performance of his wife Ann Saunderson on vocals.

    “I’m happy to play a Set For Love for World Children’s Day on Beatport. Please check us out this Friday 20th November and support the cause, it’s going to change a child’s life forever and all the while having fun with the music we’re playing. Let’s make this one the biggest it can possibly be!”

    Carl Cox

    “This is what music is all about, bringing people together for the greater good.  I’m looking forward to playing alongside Carl Cox, Sasha, and my musical family again, all the way from Detroit.”

    Kevin Saunderson

    “I’m happy to support this great cause with a Set For Love.  It feels good to see music bring people together, especially after the tough year everyone has had.  You can catch my set this weekend alongside Carl Cox and Kevin Saunderson.”

    Sasha

    In addition to the aforementioned artists, the fundraiser will also be featuring a diverse lineup of international talent with performances by Josh Butler, Maxinne Garman, wAFF, Anna Tur, Fernanda Martins, Fatima Hajji, and Miss Monique.

    Charlotte de Witte crowned #1 Alternative Top 100 DJs 2020

    Charlotte de Witte was crowned #1 Alternative Top 100 DJs 2020 by DJ Mag and Beatport.  Rising from last year’s #7 position, the techno artist has dethroned the title from Carl Cox who has reigned at the #1 position since the list launched in 2018.

    2020 has become a monumental year for de Witte who also climbed a defining 42 spots to land the #34 position on this year’s Top 100 DJs poll.  Having debuted at the #76 position in 2019, her rise has granted her this year’s title of “Highest Climber” and “Highest Techno DJ” in the 2020 poll.

    “It’s probably the strangest year to become No.1 DJ since no one has really been DJing…but yeah, it does mean a lot. It’s a big, big, big milestone.”

    Charlotte de Witte

    The Alternative Top 100 DJs list is curated by DJ Mag in collaboration with Beatport by combining votes in the Top 100 DJs poll with house and techno sales data from Beatport to determine the top house/techno DJs in the world.  This provides an  “alternative” to the Top 100 DJs poll, which tends to be dominated by EDM and Trance DJs.  For additional information on this year’s list and artists, please visit DJ Mag’s official website.

  • Defected launches virtual event We Dance As One

    Defected launches virtual event We Dance As One

    Defected Records announced the launch of a three-part virtual event, “We Dance As One” beginning Friday, Oct. 30. 

    Set to kick-off the series of events with a massive lineup, the Oct. 30 event will feature performances by Carl Cox, CamelPhat, Mike Dunn, Natasha Diggs, Sam Divine, and more still yet to be announced.  Streamed via YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, the sets will be broadcast from the artist’s homes or at their favorite nightclubs which are currently empty due to COVID-19 restrictions.  

    CamelPhat will be performing at Liverpool’s Mansion nightclub, a venue that they own in their hometown.  Sam Divine will play at London’s Ministry Of Sound, and Mike Dunn will be at Smartbar in his hometown, Chicago.  All performances will enforce strict restrictions and social distancing will be in place.

    Aimed to provide hope and uplift the dance music community during this unprecedented time,  Defected Records also intends to raise awareness for the plight of the live entertainment sector in the UK and around the world.  With all activities supported by the Night Time Industries Association and Association For Electronic Music, “We Dance As One” is Defected’s way of showing solidarity for an industry that has largely been ignored and dismissed by the government. 

    Showing up for the culture in a way that only Defected can, We Dance As One will see world-renowned DJs broadcast to millions, completely free and accessible to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes.

    We cannot allow our culture to just be dismissed, or abandoned. Defected cannot stand by and let people just give up on nightlife, clubbing, and the extended industries dependent on events. Alongside the financial benefits, dancefloors and music enrich the lives of millions around the world, breaking down prejudices and boosting our mental health.”

    – Wez Saunders, Managing Director Defected Records

    This pandemic has negatively impacted dedicated and highly skilled people in the music and events industry, told by the UK’s government ministers to “retrain” or find alternative careers rather than receiving the necessary support.  Defected will be taking this opportunity to bring on board workers who have been displaced or lost work during this time.

    “We want this to be a calling card for those who have had their jobs and livelihoods taken away. We need to joyously remind people what these artists and DJs are best at, and why this music matters so much to the mental health of so many. We need to do what we do best at Defected and bring people together from around the world, getting people dancing. Our role is to ensure people are aware of the current threat to our very culture yet inspired enough to do something about it.” 

    – James Kirkham, CBO Defected Records

    The first “We Dance As One” event will stream live on Defected’s YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook platforms on Oct. 31.  There will also be subsequent events on Nov. 27 and a culminating event on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day 2021.  Lineup announcements are set to be made in the forthcoming weeks and months.
