German multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer Monolink today announces his headline North American tour slated for early 2026 in support of his forthcoming third studio album The Beauty Of It All, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Embassy One. 

Spanning 14 cities, the North American tour follows a string of sold-out European shows this fall and sees Monolink stepping onto some of the continent’s most celebrated stages, including Brooklyn Paramount in New York, The Wiltern in Los Angeles, and The Warfield in San Francisco. The tour will mark his most ambitious North American run to date, underscoring Monolink’s growing global demand and his reputation for delivering transformative live performances in iconic venues.

Renowned for a live format that seamlessly fuses electronic production with guitar, vocals, and storytelling, Monolink has redefined what electronic music performance can be. His concerts unfold more like narratives than traditional DJ sets, where club-driven energy is intertwined with cinematic moments of stillness, intimacy, and emotional release. Featuring a brand new design created by Vita Motus and Do LaB, the live show embraces Monolink’s organic, analog-driven approach, presenting each performance as an art piece in its own right.

The tour will support The Beauty Of It All, Monolink’s third studio album and his most personal body of work yet. The record explores themes of impermanence, beauty and human connection through a rhythmically diverse and sonically stimulating lens that lends itself to his live instrumentation, evocative vocals and electronic production. Fans can anticipate brand-new material alongside reimagined classics from his catalog, delivered in the dynamic live experience that has established Monolink as one of electronic music’s most compelling performers.

 Tickets go on sale Thursday, September 11 at 10AM local time.

DAMIAN LAZARUS ANNOUNCES COMPLETE LINEUP FOR DAY ZERO MILAGRES BRASIL

DEBUTING ON THE SHORES OF SÃO MIGUEL DOS MILAGRES, BRASIL ON JANUARY 3RD, 2026
 

IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER THE FESTIVAL WILL FEATURE ANNA, BHASKAR, BLACK COFFEE, DAMIAN LAZARUS, DEER JADE, DENNIS CRUZ, HONEY DIJON, JACKSON, MALIVE, MAZ X ANTDOT, MEERA, MOCHAKK, OMRI., TRAUMER, UNFAZED, VINTAGE CULTURE, WHOMADEWHO

On the enchanted shores of São Miguel dos Milagres, where emerald jungle dissolves into turquoise sea, a call has been heard. It drifts through tide and canopy, through silence and rhythm, summoning the faithful to witness the dawn of Day Zero’s first Brazilian chapter. Conceived by Damian Lazarus, the globally revered gathering expands its storied legacy to the mystical coastline of Alagoas on January 3, 2026. Day Zero is a rite of passage—an avant-garde collision of sound, ritual, and nature that draws the underground’s most devoted from across the globe.

For this inaugural edition, Damian Lazarus unveils a lineup that reflects both Brazil’s surging electronic renaissance and the visionary voices shaping dancefloors across the globe. The innovative billing features South African luminary Black Coffee, globally renowned icon Honey Dijon, groove architect Dennis Cruz, avant-garde live trio WhoMadeWho, and French minimal craftsman Traumer. The lineup continues with Collecting Dots labelhead OMRI., cosmic voyager Deer Jade, Canada’s Unfazed, and rising star Meera. 

Echoing Day Zero’s commitment to showcasing local talent, Brazil’s own electronic vanguard stands at the forefront of this coastal gathering including superstar Vintage Culture, breakout sensation Mochakk, dynamic veteran ANNA, melodic powerhouse duo Maz x Antdot, and rising talents Bhaskar, Malive, and Jackson. Together, they embody the fearless experimentation and innovative pulse that have placed Brazil at the center of today’s electronic awakening. 

As the first light spills across the horizon, Damian Lazarus takes the reins for the sunrise session that has become Day Zero’s most sacred rite. Forever shapeshifting between selector and storyteller, he conjures moments suspended outside of time—where fearless reworks, rare edits, and deep-reaching selections dissolve the boundaries between genres and generations. Each sunrise unfurls as a living tapestry, weaving decades of musical history with an instinctive power to ignite the dancefloor, carrying dancers between night and day, shadow and light, ritual and rebirth.

Day Zero’s ethos has always been about harmonizing with the land it inhabits, forging an experiential dialogue between local traditions, timeless spiritual currents, and a celebration of renewal. Every edition is crafted as a living homage to the region’s heritage: whether through the sacred Mayan symbolism of Tulum or the desert mysticism of Masada. For its Brasilian chapter, São Miguel dos Milagres emerges as a synergetic vessel. Nestled along Alagoas’ picturesque coastline, where crystalline tidal pools meet lush jungle, the region pulses with Indigenous heritage and hypnotic rhythm. In this sacred setting, Day Zero will weave together the natural majesty of Brasil’s northeast with its own signature ceremony—creating a communal rite that honors the land, its people, and the enduring spirit that binds them.

Day Zero Brasil will be held in collaboration with local partners Entourage Live, Plus Network, Tamo Junto, Gaz Events, and BOMA.

Day Zero serves as a sanctuary for seekers of sound, a portal where sonic energy, natural wonder, ancient ritual, and cultural reverence converge. In São Miguel dos Milagres, a new miracle unfolds—one that can only be known by those who step inside its world.

STORM SHAKER RETURNS WITH BIGGER PRIZES AND AN POWERHOUSE PANEL OF JUDGES FOR ITS 5TH EDITION AT XP MUSIC FUTURES 2025

The MDLBEAST Foundation proudly announces the return of Storm Shaker, the region’s most electrifying DJ competition, as it marks its fifth edition this year at XP Music Futures 2025. With an expanded prize offering and a powerhouse panel of international judges, Storm Shaker continues its mission to spotlight the next generation of electronic music talent across the MENA region and give them a global platform to shine.

Storm Shaker is a gateway for aspiring and semi-professional DJs to transition into the professional music circuit. The contest offers finalists the chance to perform at XP Music Futures this December in Riyadh, culminating in a live set from the ultimate winner at the world-renowned Soundstorm Festival 2025. In addition to this prestigious performance slot, the winner will also embark on a tour performing at five major festivals across the globe—an unprecedented opportunity for emerging regional talent.

This year’s edition boasts its strongest lineup of judges to date. Baloo, Chief Creative Officer at MDLBEAST and a key figure in the regional music scene, returns to the panel alongside Nikhil Chinapa of Satellite Beachside, a leading event organization from Goa, India, Milica Cvijetić of SEA STAR FESTIVAL powered by ECHOSYSTEM from Croatia, and DAOX, co-founder of Morocco’s MOGA Festival. Adding global firepower to the competition, the 2025 edition also welcomes special guest judge Sama’ Abdulhadi. Hailing from Palestine, Sama’ has become one of the most influential names in techno worldwide, known for her powerful sets at Boiler Room, Fabric, and Tomorrowland. Her presence brings a new level of mentorship and international visibility to Storm Shaker.

The competition kicks off this August with the first submission phase. Aspiring DJs from across the MENA region are invited to submit a 30-minute SoundCloud set that showcases their technical skill, creativity, and musical storytelling. Judges will shortlist ten standout contestants who will then advance to the semi-final round. From there, selected DJs will submit video sets for further evaluation. The final round takes place live at XP Music Futures, where finalists will perform 30-minute sets in front of the full panel and a live audience. The final two contestants will go head-to-head for the title of Storm Shaker 2025 winner.

In addition to the headline performance at Soundstorm, all four finalists will receive flights, accommodation, XP Music Futures stage time, and exclusive access to festival programming, making the experience a pivotal moment in their careers. For MDLBEAST Foundation, Storm Shaker represents a core part of its commitment to developing a thriving, sustainable, and inclusive music ecosystem in the Middle East. By providing access to global stages, industry mentors, and professional support, the competition helps turn raw talent into career-ready artists.

Submissions open this August, and the search begins for the next great DJ to shake the storm and take their sound to the world.
