CHEMICAL BROTHERS NEW MUSIC ON NHS CHARITY COMPILATION
The Chemical Brothers will feature on a new charity compilation. Released today via London label Above Board Projects’ Bandcamp, ‘CARE4LIFE’ features over 40 production from both The Chemical Brothers and a more underground selection of artists, including Archie Hamilton, Daniel Avery, K-LONE, Jamie Jones, and Nightwave. Proceeds from the 45 track compilation of exclusive music will be donated to NHS Charities Together, who are currently working to provide, in their next round of funding, additional support they feel is most urgently needed by NHS staff, volunteers and patients in their area. They also place particular focus on support for people who are disproportionately affected by the pandemic, such as patients and staff from the BAME communities and other groups including those living with disabilities. “Through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic we have all developed a new understanding and awareness about the role our frontline health professionals undertake,”CARE4LIFE said in a press release, “and as a nation we are all united in our appreciation of the incredible work they have delivered in the face of much adversity and pressure in the last couple of months.
BOY GEORGE HAS HIS SAY ON CURRENT GLOBAL MADNESS
Boy George doesn’t understand how people can look at the protests over the death of George Floyd taking place around the world and not sympathize with the protestors. “If you’re a human being and you see these things, you cannot be not affected,” he says. “I mean, if you’re not affected, you have no soul!” George joined Billboard staff writer Taylor Mims for Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter’s Pride Summit on Saturday (June 13) to have a frank discussion about our current state of affairs.
#ALBUMOFTHEWEEK NO RULES S U P E R S T R O B E Born in Berlin, Manuel Winkler has become an integral part of the techno scene as Superstrobe, a trained sound designer and music producer, and has been DJing since the early 90ies. We are pleased to present the first Superstrobe 's album on phobiq. After some strong releases the Berlin based producer returns with "No Rules" showing his sound through twelve peak time workouts! Taking no prisoners from start to finish this is just what we have been lacking in recent months - a good solid rave workout! Finishing out with an absolute demon masterpiece with fellow partner in crime Dominik Vailant, not for the faint hearted - you have been warned! DRW 10/10.
#TUNEOFTHEWEEK HOME S I A M E S E
Although it's not possible to be with all of you at the moment, we're still able to communicate through our music. We are delighted to share our new Song 'Home' with you, a collective effort from Delhia de France, Marino Canal and us.
The world hit pause and we had to re-evaluate our patterns of behavior, re-think life, re-appreciate the things that, too often, go unnoticed and most of all face our own fears. It could teach us that the true home lies in the moment. It's the safest place to be, where no fear exists, as there is no need for the past nor the future. RESPECT DRW 5/5
N.W.A'S ''FUCK THA POLICE' STREAM SURGE BY 272% Streams of N.W.A’s ‘Fuck Tha Police’ surged by 272% amid the George Floyd protests in recent days. Across last Sunday (31st May), and Monday (1st June) this week, Alpha Data, who provide information for the Rolling Stone charts, revealed that the song had 765,000 on demand audio streams in the 48-hour period. Originally released in 1988, ‘Fuck Tha Police’ lyrically protests police brutality and racial profiling, and provoked the FBI to write to N.W.A’s record company claiming misrepresentation of the police. The protests have been taking place across the globe following the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man from Minnesota who was killed by a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, on Monday 25th May.
DJ STUCKON A CRUISE SHIP FOR THREE MONTHS DUE TO COVID19 RESTRICTIONS A DJ was stuck on a cruise ship for nearly three months due to coronavirus restrictions. Caio Saldanha, a Brazilian DJ, signed up to work on a 24-week run of shows aboard Celebrity Cruises’ 1,000-foot Celebrity Infinity ship. The Trump administration issued a no-sail mandate on all boating on March 13th following the COVID-19 pandemic, the day before the Celebrity Infinity ship was set to depart from Florida’s Tampa Bay. Saldanha, and his fiance who was on board the ship with him, were stuck in limbo for three months just off the Bay, and waiting to be repatriated to Brazil. Initially, cruise companies only expected to be shuttered for four weeks following the no-sail mandate, which meant crew stayed on board. But in April, the U.S. government pushed the date of the no-sail order back to late July.
THE GRAMMYS RULE BOOK NOW ONLINE: 12 RULES THAT MAY SUPRISE YOU Don’t trash-talk the competion and other Grammy rules. For the first time in its 63-year history, the Recording Academy posted its entire rule book online on Wednesday morning (June 10). (OK, there was no “online” for much of the Academy’s history, but you get the point.) Under the direction of Harvey Mason, Jr., the Academy’s chair and interim CEO/president, the organization is striving for greater transparency. Here are 12 rules that struck me as surprising or at least interesting as I read through the rulebook. Passages in quotation marks are taken straight from the rulebook. An album—defined: The rules state “To qualify as an album, a release must contain at least five tracks (different songs, not different mixes) and have a total playing time of at least 15 minutes or it may have any number of tracks if the total playing time is at least 30 minutes.”

POTATO HEAD EXHIBITS 4000+ PIECES OF RAVE HISTORY PHOTOS
Somewhere within the walls of Studio Eksotika lies a gallery that houses one of the most extraordinary collections of dance music memorabilia in the world. But just days before Desa Potato Head was to open the doors to its newly acquired Wild Life Archive, disaster struck — the fury of COVID-19 led to the closure of Desa Potato Head (along with almost everything else in Bali…and the world). Always ones to innovate, a full-on digital strategy ensued featuring sustainable lifestyle hacks, in-house recipes (like their Flores Margarita) and Daily Morning Rituals. Best of all, they also brought the exhibition online.

YOUTUBE ADDS CHAPTERS FEATURE TO DESKTOP AND MOBILE
YouTube announced a new “chapters” feature for its platform that allows users to easily navigate sections of a longer video.
