2hollis Announces 2027 Pirouette Tour Dates

Following the massive success of his 2025 major label debut star—which propelled him to sold-out tours across North America and Europe, alongside high-profile festival slots at Coachella and Lollapalooza—the hyperpop visionary 2hollis is set to return to the stage. The artist has officially announced his upcoming 2027 Pirouette tour, a sprawling run of live shows supporting his highly anticipated new album, Pirouette, which arrives on November 11.

2hollis, who first gained traction crafting electronic music in his bedroom, has cultivated a singular aesthetic that blends underground rap, industrial techno, and experimental pop. His ability to deliver emotionally charged songwriting through a distorted, genre-defying lens has cemented his status as a unique force in modern music. For this upcoming tour, he will be joined by special guests Lucy Bedroque and Conceal.

Tour Schedule and Routing

The Pirouette tour is set to be a global affair. The North American leg kicks off on November 14 in Los Angeles at Camp Flog Gnaw, followed by a comprehensive run through major cities including Chicago, Toronto, Atlanta, and Dallas. The tour will also hit the PNE Forum in Vancouver on March 12, 2027, before concluding the North American portion of the trek in Brooklyn on May 14 at Under the K Bridge Park.

International fans can catch the tour throughout April 2027, with dates scheduled across Europe and the U.K. Highlights include performances at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on April 7, Berlin’s UFO im Velodrom on April 16, and a final European stop at Paris’s Zénith on April 21.

Venue presales follow at 11 am, with Spotify presales for the EU and UK markets opening at 2 pm. General ticket sales for all dates will commence on October 28 at 10 am local time.

Serato Brings Its Professional DJ Software to iPhone and iPad

Serato has officially released Serato DJ for iOS, marking a significant milestone by bringing the professional-grade software that has anchored club booths for over two decades to the iPhone and iPad. This mobile expansion arrives alongside the launch of Serato DJ 5.0, the latest iteration of the company’s flagship desktop program, ensuring a seamless transition for DJs working across multiple platforms.

The new mobile application retains the core functionality that has made Serato a staple in the industry. Users can access a comprehensive toolkit that includes Serato Stems, advanced effects, cue points, key sync, and recording capabilities. Furthermore, the app provides DVS support for setups utilizing traditional turntables and control vinyl. Compatibility is extensive, as the software connects to more than 120 controllers, mixers, and turntables from industry-leading brands such as Pioneer DJ, Rane, Numark, Roland, AlphaTheta, and Hercules.

A standout feature of this release is the introduction of iOS Transfer, a utility designed to streamline the workflow for mobile performers. This feature allows DJs to move tracks, crates, and metadata directly from their laptop library to a phone or tablet. Additionally, the app supports direct streaming integration, enabling DJs to pull music from Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, SoundCloud, and Beatport.

The software is available in both free and paid tiers. While the free version offers a robust entry point, professional features such as recording, DVS, Stems FX, advanced pad modes, and the majority of the 59 effects slots are reserved for the paid version. Notably, users with an active Serato DJ Suite subscription or license gain access to the paid mobile features at no additional cost.

HAAi Delivers a Landmark Performance in Her Latest FADER Mix

Australian electronic stalwart HAAi has reached a significant milestone in her career, unveiling a powerful new FADER Mix recorded live at this year’s Maiden Voyage festival. The set serves as a landmark moment for the producer, as it is composed entirely of her own original music—a concept she had never previously explored in a live environment.

Reflecting on the performance, which took place this past August, HAAi shared the intensity of the experience. “It felt like such an important step for me as an artist and really felt like the perfect place to debut this as a concept,” she explained. “I was on a scaffolding booth surrounded by about 3,000 ravers in a park in the middle of London. It was truly the highlight of the summer for me.”

A Sonic Evolution

The mix arrives on the heels of her latest album, DIGITiSE, released October 9, and follows the momentum of her 2025 project HUMANiSE. The recording captures the raw energy of a festival crowd, punctuated by the kinetic, bass-heavy production that has become her signature. For HAAi, the process of revisiting and reworking her catalog for this set was both nostalgic and cathartic.

From Shoegaze to Electronic Stardom

HAAi’s journey into electronic music was unconventional. Originally a member of shoegaze bands in Australia, she began collecting records while touring the UK. After her band dissolved, she found inspiration working at a bar in Dalston, where she was mentored by the legendary DJ Fitz. This early exposure to rare percussive records and global sounds laid the foundation for her eclectic curation style.

Today, she draws inspiration from a wide circle of peers, including Eris Drew, Octo Octa, and Shanti Celeste. Her approach to the craft remains deeply rooted in community, favoring intimate, underground parties that prioritize musical exploration over mainstream trends. As she continues to evolve, HAAi remains committed to the collaborative spirit that first drew her to the decks, proving that even as her profile grows, her focus remains firmly on the music and the people who dance to it.

pinponpanpon Unveil Manga Alongside Debut Album ‘pinponism’

Before they were pinponpanpon, the members of the Japanese digicore girl group — Domenatsu, Katherine, and Tokyo-chan — were strangers, each with a dream. At least that's how a new manga tells it.

To celebrate their debut album pinponism, out October 10, the trio have released a mini graphic novel telling the (almost) true story of how they found each other. The manga is only available for download on their website. But below, the band kindly shared some exclusive pages from the graphic novel for you to read, featuring photos from a recent trip they took to Hawaii, their thoughts on other "pon" out in the world, and a personality breakdown for each of the members.

The cover of pinponism.

pinponism is the group's official debut album and follows their 2023 EP PinPonPeaceProject. The new record, seven songs of blown-out and cute-ified digicore, arrives after a breakout year for the group that saw them perform stateside at Frost Children's Frost Fest, Summer Smash, Los Angeles' Anime Expo, and more.

Björk Announces Live Album Recorded with Iceland’s Hamrahlíð Choir

The visionary artist Björk has officially announced the upcoming release of Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir. This highly anticipated live album, which documents her intimate 2021 concert series in Iceland, is scheduled for release on November 27. Fans can look forward to a comprehensive physical release, including LP, CD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats, with pre-orders currently available.

The performance was captured on October 24, 2021, at the iconic Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík. This event served as a centerpiece for one of four ‘Orkestral’ shows that Björk staged that year. Moving away from the elaborate, high-concept staging of her previous global tours, these performances focused on stripped-back arrangements, highlighting the raw power of human voices and acoustic instrumentation. The series featured over 100 Icelandic musicians, with proceeds benefiting Kvennaathvarfið, a vital women’s shelter in Reykjavík.

This particular evening saw Björk collaborating with the Hamrahlíð Choir, conducted by the ensemble’s founder, Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir. The setlist featured a deep dive into her catalog, including a performance of her 2004 album Medúlla—a record famously constructed almost entirely from human vocal textures—alongside reimagined versions of tracks like “Hidden Place,” “Cosmogony,” “Unravel,” and “New World.”

Björk’s history with the choir runs deep; she is a former member of the Hamrahlíð College Choir, which Ingólfsdóttir established in 1967. Their professional partnership has flourished over the years, with the choir contributing to her 2017 album Utopia and joining her on the expansive Cornucopia tour.

Reflecting on the project, Björk noted that the extended rehearsal periods necessitated by the pandemic allowed her to explore the delicate balance between vocal arrangements and electronic elements. “For me, it is a philosophical matter, how nature and technology can coexist amicably,” she shared. She added that the shows provided a rare opportunity to revisit and refine older songs that she felt she hadn’t yet fully mastered for a live setting.

Tracklist: Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir

• “Pleasure Is All Mine”
• “Hidden Place”
• “Cosmogony”
• “Sonnets / Unrealities XI”
• “Unravel”
• “Vertebræ by Vertebræ”
• “Who Is It”
• “Mouth’s Cradle”
• “Where Is the Line”
• “New World”

Yu Su and Moopie’s b2b FADER Mix at Making Time 2026

The collaborative b2b set from Yu Su and Moopie at Making Time ∞ (pronounced “Making Time Forever”) was as ethereal as the mist that blanketed their stage. Held at the historic Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, the performance served as a masterclass in intuitive, genre-fluid DJing, capturing the eclectic spirit of one of the most unique festival environments in the United States.

Yu Su, a Kaifeng-born and London-based selector, has become a pivotal figure in the global electronic landscape. Her ability to weave textured, free-flowing soundscapes has earned her spots at prestigious venues ranging from Berghain to Horst Festival. Joining her was Melbourne-based artist Moopie, the mastermind behind the label A Colorful Storm. Known for his moody, tempo-variant selections, Moopie has brought his distinct sonic vision to major stages like Dekmantel and Sustain-Release.

A Spontaneous Sonic Journey

The duo’s performance at Making Time ∞ was defined by its lack of rigid structure. Aside from selecting the opening and closing tracks, the pair relied entirely on intuition, allowing the set to drift organically through Minimal Techno, Tribal, Ambient, and Industrial textures. This approach mirrored the festival’s own atmosphere, where attendees might find themselves moving from heavy techno in a forest clearing to ambient compositions within the walls of a Revolutionary War-era bunker.

Reflecting on their process, the DJs noted that the challenge of a b2b set often lies in the opening track. “Working out the first track of the set may be the hardest task,” Moopie explained, noting that it often comes down to a last-minute search through their record bags. Despite their different geographical roots—Yu Su in London and Moopie in Melbourne—the two found a shared language, even joking about their ability to speak Chinese in the booth, a rarity in their professional circles.

When asked about the unique nature of Making Time, Yu Su praised the festival’s lack of “headliner energy,” a quality she finds rare in the American festival circuit. She noted that the event feels more aligned with European festivals, where artistic intention often takes precedence over commercial pressures. For those who missed the live experience, the mix serves as a testament to their chemistry and the singular energy of the 2026 festival.

Eartheater tackles the cosmic joy of motherhood

In the wake of her latest album, Heavenly Body: If I’m The Bottle You’re The Message, Eartheater has emerged with a project that feels both deeply intimate and sonically expansive. While she initially feared the record might be too personal for her audience to fully grasp, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The album, which draws inspiration from the conception, gestation, and birth of her first child, serves as a testament to the intersection of body horror and divine joy.

Speaking from backstage at the Bowery Ballroom, Eartheater reflects on the creative process behind the project. She notes that the album’s aesthetic, art-directed by her friend Yasz, leans into the concept of wabi-sabi—the beauty of things that are cracked and repaired. This theme mirrors her own journey of being "cracked open" by the experience of motherhood and subsequently finding healing.

The album’s sonic landscape, produced in collaboration with Dave Cerminara, utilizes modular synthesis and vintage drum machines to evoke a sense of nostalgia and raw emotion. Eartheater explains that the drums were often the result of "magical wielding of sorcery" on a wall of synths, capturing the specific, intense feelings of early motherhood. A standout moment on the record is the collaboration with Oklou on the track "Fast Asleep," a lullaby that highlights their shared experience of becoming mothers around the same time.

When asked about the confidence she displays regarding motherhood, Eartheater is candid. "I feel like I was really meant to do this," she says, noting that she thrives in the crisis-driven nature of parenting. For those looking for practical advice, she recommends the Tushbaby, a versatile hip-seat carrier that has become an essential tool in her daily life. Ultimately, Heavenly Body stands as a bold, honest exploration of a life-altering transition, proving that Eartheater’s artistic vision remains as sharp and evocative as ever.

Alif Hilal (fka Lyra Pramuk) Delivers a Steamy, Genre-Defying FADER Mix

Alif Hilal is a self-described “child of Berlin and Berghain.” The Pennsylvania-born, Berlin-based vocalist, producer, and composer—who changed her name from Lyra Pramuk following her conversion to Islam—has garnered global acclaim for her dense, spirited, and vocal-centric compositions. Following the success of her 2020 debut Fountain and 2025’s string-heavy Hymnal, Hilal has increasingly turned her attention toward the dance floor, integrating DJing as a central instrument in her artistic storytelling.

In this exclusive FADER Mix, Hilal presents what she calls an “ungenred pluralism” that navigates a modular continuum of techno and house. The set, which features high-BPM experimental techno alongside classics from artists like Princess Superstar and Peaches, is an excerpt from a live performance in Venice, Italy, recorded this past June. “I played for almost three hours; this is the middle portion of the set, recorded live in an extremely hot room with no air conditioning,” Hilal explains. “DIY, steamy, sexy, intimate.”

For Hilal, DJing has become a vital extension of her production practice. “I’m very technical and very detail-oriented with mixing in the studio,” she notes. “With DJing, I was doing more deep listening or ambient sets for some years, but this year I bought XDJs for my home and have started to play club sets more. I am a raver at heart, and so I think it’s just natural that I am turning back to try my hand at it now.”

Her approach to the craft is deeply rooted in the history of dance music as a form of radical resistance. “Artistically and politically, it’s important for me to try to represent the history of dance music as a form of radical resistance, and to try to tell a story in my sets of the musical diversity that exists all over the world,” she says. “It’s a kind of research into contemporary folk music, considering a broad spectrum of what we might consider folk today.”

underscores’s “Unlimited Love” Showcases Her Sonic Evolution

Madonna, Britney Spears, SOPHIE, and Charli xcx are just a few of the influences that informed underscores' latest album U. Some of those influences I hear clearly, like on "Innuendo" where her breathy gasps, which act more like a percussive device, feel super "Toxic"-coded. Others are more ambiently dispersed, only detected through underscores' technical skill or melodic instincts.

On her new song "Unlimited Love," a scrapped cut from U, however, her devotion to her musical heroes is right there, out in the open. The track opens on what sounds like a sample from Madonna's "Vogue" before diving into the electronic depths of metallic clashes and walloping smacks—chaos that could live right alongside SOPHIE's "Ponyboy." It is a scintillating and textural delight and one of the boldest and most expansive examples of underscores' greatest talent: taking sounds that are familiar and twisting them into completely new musical sentences.

Marie Davidson Shares Two Poetic Excerpts from ‘Traveler’s Faith’

As anticipation builds for the September 1 release of Traveler’s Faith, electronic artist Marie Davidson is providing fans with a unique look into her creative process by sharing two evocative poems from the collection. These pieces, titled “SAUL & THE COFFEE MACHINE” and “YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,” highlight the intimate, observational style that defines her latest work.

SAUL & THE COFFEE MACHINE

We gathered
First to scan our bags
And when that was done
Around the coffee machine

The Starbucks joint
Was under repair
Good for them
I thought to myself

The man stood there
Cooler than anything you’d ever seen
My husband
Already knew who he was

Anyhow
We all gathered
Around what we thought
Was the only machine

As he struggled
To tap his phone
He mentioned a Costa
Just down the hall

I said great
Let’s do it then
He said no
We don’t do that one

I said oh no
Already getting it
He said oh yeah
They are Zionists

I yelled through the hall
In my Quebec French
Pierre! Wait!
I’ve got bad news

So the 5 of us
Drank shitty coffee
Before getting
On the Eurostar

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

I saw you had seen
A picture of my ass
When all I really wanted
Was you to hear about the poems
The shape of a heart
Combined with your name
Seal of approval
Granted by a star
I must admit
It felt a bit silly
To think that maybe
It could lead you to the poems
Cuz if we get
To the bottom of it
I couldn’t help thinking
That you’d like my poetry
