Above and Beyond Acoustic Giving Up The Day Job

Above and Beyond Acoustic Giving Up The Day Job, chronicles the trio’s rise to success. The trio consists of Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamaki, and Tony McGuinness. They started out as DJs in 2000 with the formations of Anjunabeats and later, Anjunadeep. Their success culminated with a performance at the Hollywood Bowl accompanied by a thirty-four piece orchestra.

The documentary, Giving Up The Day Joby is from the independent distribution and marketing company Abramorama. It is an Archer’s Mark and Scheme Engine Production and provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of the world’s biggest electronic dance music acts. It shows how they are leaving the electronic music world behind to go acoustic.

Speaking about the documentary in a statement, Above & Beyond said,

The acoustic project was a huge undertaking for us but the end result was massively rewarding. We look forward to collaborating with Abramorama on the release of the film and sharing our acoustic experience with fans around the world.

The film was directed by Paul Dugdale and Myles Desenberg and produced by Lundi Shackleton, Adam Booth, and Ned Doyle. Executive producers also include James Grant, Steve heaver, Steve Jamison, Mike Brett, Sheira Rees-Davies, and Alex Kaplan.

The film will open theatrically in New York in late January 2018 and then move to other dates the following month. The group is also going back on tour tied with the film’s upcoming release.

Iceland Secret Solstice 2018

Iceland Secret Solstice 2018

Iceland Secret Solstice 2018 from June 21 – 24 is the bucket-list music festival held during 96 hours of straight sunlight in Reykjavik. The signature Side Events, Into The Glacier and The Lava Tunnel return for their fifth edition with tickets went on sale Thursday, December 7, 2017, at 7 am ET / 4 am PT. Combining a world-class music festival with the many natural attractions that the land of fire and ice has to offer, Secret Solstice will once again prove why it has earned the title of the world’s “unique festival” thanks to their spectacular event experiences you can’t find anywhere else.

The New York Times described Iceland as one of,

20 Places To Travel In Your 20s.

Wonders of Nature

There are many reasons that Iceland is a popular destination for tourists eager to experience the country’s otherworldly landscape of glaciers and volcanic deserts. Recently nominated by The European Festival Awards, the carbon-neutral festival attracts visitors from across the globe keen to dance in the rays of the never-setting midnight sun to a world-class and diverse musical lineup while experiencing many of the country’s extraordinary environmental attractions. Just outside Reykjavik, visitors can discover supernatural landscapes boasting beautiful waterfalls, icy glaciers, black sand beaches, and vast volcanic fields as well as world-famous sites like the Blue Lagoon and Game of Thrones filming locations. More accessible than ever from major U.S. cities, it’s not hard to see why Reykjavik is the second most popular destination by travel search engine Kayak.

The Side Events utilize Iceland’s stunning natural settings and spaces and cater to both music and nature lovers, offering once in a lifetime, jaw-dropping experiences. While stepping inside Europe’s second largest glacier Langjökull or journeying deep into a 5,200-year-old Lava Tunnel, those lucky enough to snap up one of the highly prized tickets will be treated to intimate and exclusive performances from Icelandic and international artists. For thousands of years what lay beneath the surface of the Langjökull glacier was considered a mystery and it was only recently that humans were able to see the spectacular blue ice buried 130 feet beneath the surface. Equally as breathtaking, the journey into the magnificent lava caves at Raufarhólshellir is a chance to witness what happens underground during a volcanic eruption which results in natural ice sculptures and stalactites in connecting lava tubes that form natural subterranean arteries. With extremely limited tickets available for ‘Into The Glacier’ on Saturday, June 23 and The Lava Tunnel taking place on Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24, these events are sure to sell out.

Billboard magazine exclaimed,

Secret Solstice is shaping up to be one of the standout international events on the summer calendar.

Artists at past editions of Secret Solstice have included the likes of Anderson .Paak, Big Sean, Chaka Khan, Die Antwoord, Dubfire, Foo Fighters, Kerri Chandler, Jamie Jones, Of Monsters and Men, Radiohead, Rick Ross, The Black Madonna, The Prodigy, Wu-Tang Clan, and many more top international and local Icelandic acts.

Phase 2 Announced February 20, 2018

Following on from their recent phase 1 announcement, Iceland’s Secret Solstice is pleased to announce its second wave of artists. The added artists include the iconic metal band Slayer. Slayer is on its Final World Tour. Rapper Gucci Mane and electro-pop group Clean Bandit also announced. All three acts are playing in Iceland for the first time.

Two-time GRAMMY winners Slayer are long-reigning titans of punk-thrash who alongside bands like Metallica helped define the thrash-metal genre throughout their 34-year career. Touching down in Iceland as part of their Final World Tour fresh off their North American dates, this is a rare last opportunity to catch the legendary band.

American rapper, label owner, and Billboard chart-topper Gucci Mane who’s lucrative career is soon to be the subject of a Paramount biopic, credited as pioneering the hip-hop sub-genre known as trap music. The god of trap will no doubt bring his colorful beats to the Secret Solstice main stage.

British genre crossover group Clean Bandit best known for their hit single “Rather Be,” seamlessly blend classical music with pop bringing together strings, piano, percussion, vocals and electronic beats. Their refreshing take on modern pop music and reputation for incredible live shows will be sure to captivate Secret Solstice festival goers this June.

These three artists add to the diverse list of headline artists previously announced including Stormzy, Bonnie Tyler, Death From Above, Steve Aoki, Jet Black Joe, GRAMMY nominees 6lack and Goldink, J Hus, Charlotte de Witte, Skream, A-Trak, Masego, IAMDBB, Högni and Gentleman’s Dub Club.

Also announced are 13 local artists. Several Icelandic hip-hop and rap acts such as bubblegum trap queen Alvia, Cell7, Elli Grill, Geisha Cartel, Landaboi$, Ragga Hólm, Sprite Zero Klan, Vala CruNk, and Yung Nigo Drippin alongside pop talent Birgir and GDRN, rock group HAM, and semi-acoustic band Vio.

Tickets and Information

Tickets to Into The Glacier on June 23, 2018, are still USD 318.

Tickets to The Lava Tunnel on June 23 and June 24, 2018, are still USD 236.

Full tour packages including flights, tickets, and accommodation with Iceland’s top services including hotels, rentals, and airport transfers will also be available for the 2018 edition. You can purchase your tickets via the Secret Solstice website.

Spinnin’ Records Acquired by Warner Music Group

October 31, 2017 by PrimeEV
EDM, Spinnin

Spinnin’ Records is a Dutch record label founded in 1999 by Eelko van Kooten and Roger de Graaf. Spinnin’ matured into one of the leading music labels in electronic dance music, claiming to be

the world’s leading record label.

EDM in recent years is no longer a niche, but a prominent genre in music.

Spinnin’ Records boasts an impressive roster of artists and sub-labels as well as a massive social media following numbering over 26 million, making it a prize in the eyes of the world’s largest music companies. Warner Music Group (WMG) rose victorious. WMG acquired Spinnin’ Records for 100+ million dollars, defeating Sony Records and Believe Digital.

Warner Music UK’s Chairman & CEO and soon to be named WMG’s CEO, Recorded Music, Max Lousada, was quoted,

Warner’s past, present, and future are all about creating an environment in which incredible artists and entrepreneurs thrive. That’s why I’m pleased to welcome Spinnin’ to our growing family of labels, each with its own cultural identity. Roger and the team aren’t just world leaders in dance music, but pioneers of new ways to break artists and build music brands. Together, we’ll nurture and expand Spinnin’s global community of hit-makers, DJs, producers, songwriters, and millions of passionate fans.

CEO & Co-Founder of Spinnin’ Records, Roger de Graaf will remain as the chief executive officer of Spinnin’ Records within WMG. His statement regarding the acquisition is,

Spinnin’ has found the perfect home at Warner Music. Max, Stu, Bart, and the team really believe in our culture and commitment to artist development. They share our vision for growing Spinnin’ by creating even bigger opportunities for our artists and their music. It’s been an incredible journey so far and, as we look to the future, everyone at Spinnin’ Records would like to thank our close friend Eelko for everything he’s done for our company, artists, and industry. His partnership and leadership mean he will forever be part of the Spinnin’ family.

Eelko van Kooten, Co-founder of Spinnin’ Records is leaving to pursue other interests. His statement about the acquisition is,

Each of the Spinnin’ companies has matured successfully which makes it a good moment for me to step down. With pride and joy I look back on 25 exciting years in the music industry and feel grateful to have worked with so many talented artists and an incredible team at Spinnin’. I want to thank them for their dedication and unlimited efforts. A special thank you to my business partner and best friend Roger de Graaf for all the laughs, the challenges and the success we’ve experienced together. As I look ahead at the next chapter in my life, I remain confident that the team will continue to accelerate and that Spinnin’ will enjoy continued success.

The aforementioned quotes were taken directly from Warner Music Group’s official statement of the acquisition.
