• New Visa Fee Changes Prove Beneficial For Smaller Promoters
  Yesterday we wrote an article on the changes in Visa fees for large touring groups. The news really sucks, as big ARTIST /bands who plan to tour in Australia will cost a whole lot more to cover for promoters, resulting in higher ticket prices for the punters.As stale as this is - and it's bloody stale - things aren't all bad.For promoters who tour DJs, producers and smaller scale groups, these changes are actually  beneficial, as the visa fee per-head will be dropping dramatically.Relating to the ELECTRONIC MUSIC orld, the usual visa fee for a single DJ is around $550, which will be changed to a flat fee of $275. So the fees will literally be sliced in half.This is definitely some silver lining on an otherwise fairly grey storm cloud, but for fans of ELECTRO ic

• DJS RESPOND TO FABRIC CLOSURE
  Following last night's shocking news that fabric's license has been permanently revoked, DJs around the globe have taken to Twitter in support of the iconic London venue. DJ Mag has gathered together some of the most poignant responses to the tragedy — the ongoing effect that fabric's closure will have on the UK's nightlife should not be understated. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, key industry figures — including Alan Miller, Alex Proud and DJ Mag's own, Martin Carvell — plus the owners of fabric have also responded, you can read all of their statements here, plus a selection of DJ statements below. London's music culture at the mercy of people who think higher BPMs, not weak drugs policies, cause deaths in clubs.

• Squarepusher just announced a new album
  I have been spending a lot of time recently listening to UK electro-maestro Squarepusher. Notorious for his intense, expansive tracks and dazzling live performances, I was delighted by the news that he's just announced a new album!The artist, real name Tom Jenkinson, has revealed that his new album will be called 'Damogen Furies' and it's coming out on April 20 on Warp Records. This, incidentally, is the day before my birthday, so I'm pretty chuffed about that.It's Squarepusher's first full album since 2012's 'Ufabulum,' and follows on from his 2014 EP 'Music For Robots.' It was largely recorded on the road over the last two years, using special portable studio equipment in an attempt to emulate his home set up.The press release also reveals that the album has been inspired by two specific styles: "Miles Davis-school jazz, and dance music," two "distinct traditions" which come together to create a sound "that often straddles nightmarish drill 'n' bass and the early work of electric jazz pioneers."Expect to hear a "truthful, unembellished representation of how those instruments sound. All of the recordings here were made in one take, with no edits. It is a record that has the brutal energy and vivaciousness of a debut."Not sure what that actually means? Well he's released both a trailer for the album, and its first single.Here's the trailer:And you can download the single, 'Rayc Fire 2' for free off his website right here.Full track list:1. Stor Eiglass2. Baltang Ort3. Rayc Fire 24. Kontenjaz5. Exjag Nives6. Baltang Arg7. Kwang Bass8. D Frozent AacHe's about to embark on a European US tour including dates at Coachella.

• Peaches Rub review – feminist pop provocateur still pushing limits
  (I U She Music) Related: Peaches: ‘My video is not porn. It’s an incredible piece of work’ Pop’s current focus on feminism and gender fluidity won’t be news to Peaches, who has been championing such causes since her punky debut album landed 15 years ago. Now the mainstream has caught up, and while it might be overstating things to say that this is entirely down to an avant-electro artist singing “rub it against my thigh” in her pants, there’s no denying that Peaches is a pioneer. In 2015, her role as provocateur is harder to define, although Rub, her first album in six years, does it’s best to stay outside comfort zones: “Whistleblow my clit,” she sings on the title track, a lyric you suspect might still be off-limits for any forthcoming Miley Cyrus lyric sheets. Elsewhere, Kim Gordon is enlisted to sing “Get on your knees / Roll on over” on Close Up, while the most accessible tune here is a motorik synth-pop number called Dumb Fuck. Peaches’ artistic vision remains as focused – and funny – as ever, and she’s made a video to accompany each of the album’s tracks. These feature treats such as performers shooting lasers out of buttplugs and – in her words – “girls squirting off rocks”. Enjoyable as this album is, that might be the better medium through which to experience it. Continue reading...
