Over the past decade, Subtronics has become one of the defining artists of the modern bass music movement. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of dubstep through intricate production techniques, cinematic soundscapes and relentless energy, he has built a global reputation as one of the genre’s most innovative performers.

Skrillex Unleashes SOMA, A Global Club-Focused Statement from One of Electronic Music’s Most Influential Artists. Few artists have reshaped electronic music as consistently as Skrillex, and with the release of his latest studio album, SOMA, Sonny Moore once again proves why he remains one of the most innovative forces in modern dance music. Released via OWSLA and Atlantic Records, the 13-track project arrives as a confident and fully realised body of work that reflects the current state of global club culture. Spanning 42 minutes, SOMA captures the creative freedom Skrillex has embraced in recent years, blending festival-scale energy with underground influences drawn from scenes around the world. Rather than leaning into a single genre or formula, SOMA feels like a snapshot of electronic music in 2026. House, bass, techno, UK sounds, Latin rhythms and experimental club music all collide throughout the album, creating a listening experience that feels both expansive and intentional. Fans had already been given a glimpse into the project through a number of standout singles released ahead of the album. Tracks such as “Thistle”, the explosive ISOxo collaboration “Smoke”, and the high-energy Latin-inspired “Duro” hinted at the diverse sonic direction Skrillex was pursuing. With the full album now available, those early releases reveal themselves as key pieces of a much larger creative vision. One of SOMA’s greatest strengths is its collaborative spirit. The album brings together an impressive collection of producers, vocalists and songwriters from across the globe, highlighting Skrillex’s long-standing ability to connect different musical worlds. Production contributions come from respected names including ISOxo, Chris Lake, Nitepunk, Blawan, Randomer, Dismantle, Rom, Tracey and RHR, each helping shape the album’s constantly evolving sound. The vocal roster is equally diverse. Colombian superstar Feid appears on the standout track “Noche Without You”, which cleverly incorporates elements of Robert Miles’ iconic classic Children. Elsewhere, Puerto Rican artist Young Miko, UK drill talents Cristale and TeeZandos, Jamaican vocalist Beam, Brazilian artist MC Dricka, and emerging voices Naisha, ANITA B QUEEN and TAICHU further reinforce the album’s international identity. The release of SOMA follows another significant milestone in Skrillex’s expanding creative universe. Just weeks before the album’s arrival, he launched CONTRA, a new event platform developed in partnership with Berlin Atonal. The inaugural edition took place at Berlin’s iconic Kraftwerk venue across May 30 and 31, showcasing the same forward-thinking approach that has defined much of Skrillex’s recent output. At a time when electronic music continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, SOMA demonstrates why Skrillex remains at the forefront of that conversation. It is an album that embraces collaboration, celebrates global club culture, and further cements his reputation as an artist who consistently challenges expectations while keeping one eye firmly on the future.

Bali’s New Year celebrations are set to get considerably bigger in 2026, with FINNS Beach Club revealing the first wave of artists for its newly expanded two-day NYE Festival, taking place across December 30 and 31 in Canggu. Leading the opening day is Major Lazer Soundsystem, joined by Australian electronic heavyweight CYRIL, while New Year’s Eve itself will feature a special DJ set from The Temper Trap. It is only the beginning, with FINNS confirming that further international and local artists will be added to both dates in the months ahead. The announcement represents a significant expansion for one of Bali’s most established end-of-year parties. Following a decade of sold-out New Year events, FINNS is transforming its traditional NYE celebration into a two-day festival for 2026, stretching the festivities across the final 48 hours of the year. Major Lazer Leads December 30 Few acts are better suited to an open-air Bali celebration than Major Lazer Soundsystem. The globally recognised electronic project has spent more than a decade blurring the lines between electronic music, dancehall, pop and sounds drawn from across the globe. Tracks including ‘Lean On’ with DJ Snake and MØ and ‘Cold Water’ featuring Justin Bieber and MØ became defining crossover records of the 2010s, helping push Major Lazer far beyond the traditional confines of the dance music circuit. Joining them on December 30 is one of Australia’s biggest recent electronic success stories, CYRIL. The Australian producer enjoyed an international breakthrough with his reworking of ‘Stumblin’ In’, followed by his remix of Disturbed’s ‘The Sound of Silence’, establishing himself as one of the country’s most internationally visible electronic artists. For Australian dance fans heading to Bali over the summer break, the pairing gives the first night of FINNS NYE Festival considerable firepower before the calendar even reaches December 31. The Temper Trap Take Over New Year’s Eve The Australian connection continues on New Year’s Eve, with The Temper Trap confirmed for a special DJ set on December 31. While the Melbourne-formed group is best known for its soaring indie catalogue, particularly the enduring anthem ‘Sweet Disposition’, the DJ format promises a different side of the band as they take control of the decks for the final night of 2026. The appearance also arrives during a renewed chapter for The Temper Trap. After an extended hiatus, the band returned in 2026 with new album Sungazer and a fresh run of international performances, putting one of Australia’s most successful alternative exports firmly back in the spotlight. Exactly where their NYE DJ set travels musically remains to be seen, but in a setting built around electronic music, sunset sessions and late-night celebration, it is one of the more intriguing bookings of the first lineup announcement. FINNS Expands Its Biggest Party of the Year Situated directly on Berawa Beach in Canggu, FINNS has become one of Bali’s most recognisable nightlife destinations, with its sprawling oceanfront complex regularly hosting international electronic talent. Its recent New Year celebrations have brought artists including Flume, Duke Dumont, MK and PNAU to Bali, with the venue reporting that both its 2024 and 2025 NYE events sold out ahead of time. FINNS says its 2025 celebration moved approximately 8,000 tickets. For 2026, the scale is increasing again. Rather than concentrating the entire program around December 31, FINNS will begin festivities a day earlier, effectively turning the countdown into a destination festival for travellers already making Bali part of their summer plans. With Major Lazer Soundsystem, CYRIL and The Temper Trap comprising only the first announcement, there remains plenty of room for the lineup to grow before December.

Skrillex Unleashes SOMA, A Global Club-Focused Statement from One of Electronic Music’s Most Influential Artists. Few artists have reshaped electronic music as consistently as Skrillex, and with the release of his latest studio album, SOMA, Sonny Moore once again proves why he remains one of the most innovative forces in modern dance music. Released via OWSLA and Atlantic Records, the 13-track project arrives as a confident and fully realised body of work that reflects the current state of global club culture. Spanning 42 minutes, SOMA captures the creative freedom Skrillex has embraced in recent years, blending festival-scale energy with underground influences drawn from scenes around the world. Rather than leaning into a single genre or formula, SOMA feels like a snapshot of electronic music in 2026. House, bass, techno, UK sounds, Latin rhythms and experimental club music all collide throughout the album, creating a listening experience that feels both expansive and intentional. Fans had already been given a glimpse into the project through a number of standout singles released ahead of the album. Tracks such as “Thistle”, the explosive ISOxo collaboration “Smoke”, and the high-energy Latin-inspired “Duro” hinted at the diverse sonic direction Skrillex was pursuing. With the full album now available, those early releases reveal themselves as key pieces of a much larger creative vision. One of SOMA’s greatest strengths is its collaborative spirit. The album brings together an impressive collection of producers, vocalists and songwriters from across the globe, highlighting Skrillex’s long-standing ability to connect different musical worlds. Production contributions come from respected names including ISOxo, Chris Lake, Nitepunk, Blawan, Randomer, Dismantle, Rom, Tracey and RHR, each helping shape the album’s constantly evolving sound. The vocal roster is equally diverse. Colombian superstar Feid appears on the standout track “Noche Without You”, which cleverly incorporates elements of Robert Miles’ iconic classic Children. Elsewhere, Puerto Rican artist Young Miko, UK drill talents Cristale and TeeZandos, Jamaican vocalist Beam, Brazilian artist MC Dricka, and emerging voices Naisha, ANITA B QUEEN and TAICHU further reinforce the album’s international identity. The release of SOMA follows another significant milestone in Skrillex’s expanding creative universe. Just weeks before the album’s arrival, he launched CONTRA, a new event platform developed in partnership with Berlin Atonal. The inaugural edition took place at Berlin’s iconic Kraftwerk venue across May 30 and 31, showcasing the same forward-thinking approach that has defined much of Skrillex’s recent output. At a time when electronic music continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, SOMA demonstrates why Skrillex remains at the forefront of that conversation. It is an album that embraces collaboration, celebrates global club culture, and further cements his reputation as an artist who consistently challenges expectations while keeping one eye firmly on the future.

EDC Las Vegas to Expand to Two Weekends in 2027 for the First Time in Its History. In a landmark move for one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals, Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella has confirmed that EDC Las Vegas will expand to two weekends in 2027, marking a major evolution in the event’s 30-year history. The announcement comes just days after the 2026 edition wrapped at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where more than half a million fans gathered to celebrate the festival’s milestone anniversary. Known for its immersive production, large-scale stage design and round-the-clock atmosphere, EDC once again delivered its signature experience under the electric sky. Looking ahead, the 2027 edition will take place across two consecutive weekends: May 14–16, 2027 (DUSK) May 21–23, 2027 (DAWN) In addition to the festival itself, Insomniac is introducing an extended “Dusk Till Dawn Experience”, spanning 12 days from May 13 to May 24, 2027. This expanded format will place even greater emphasis on EDC Week, with additional programming planned throughout the gap between weekends. Further details are expected to be announced in the coming months. A key change for 2027 will be a reduced capacity per weekend, a move designed to improve crowd flow and enhance the overall attendee experience. Despite the split format, both weekends will feature the same lineup, ensuring fans receive a consistent offering regardless of which dates they attend. Accommodation options including Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also operate across both weekends, giving attendees greater flexibility when planning their stay. In a notable shift, organisers have also confirmed more accessible ticket pricing. General admission passes will start at $399 USD per weekend, while fans looking to attend both weekends can purchase a combined Dusk & Dawn pass for $599 USD. Speaking on the announcement, Rotella shared his vision for the festival’s future: “I hope you can feel the excitement and see the vision for what Dusk Till Dawn will become. I can’t wait to share this experience with you under the electric sky.” While many major global festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella and Ultra Music Festival have adopted multi-weekend formats over the years, EDC Las Vegas has remained a single-weekend event throughout its three-decade run. This shift signals a significant new chapter for the brand as it continues to grow its global footprint. Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2027 will go on sale Friday, May 22 at 12pm PT (5am Saturday May 23 AEST), with GA, GA+ and VIP options available via Front Gate. Given the scale of the announcement and the festival’s continued demand, strong interest is expected across both weekends. For fans around the world, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious editions of EDC Las Vegas to date; not just bigger, but more expansive than ever before.
