ADE Green, presented by Amsterdam Dance Event and Green Events, proudly unveils its 2025 program: a full day of panels, workshops, and interactive sessions at Felix Meritis on Friday, October 24. As the world grows more complex, ADE Green brings together artists, organisers, policymakers, and sustainability experts around one urgent question: how can the music and events industry prepare for a future defined by uncertainty — and continue to grow sustainably, inclusively, and creatively?

ADE Green 2025 welcomes a diverse line-up of thought leaders and individuals driving the transition toward a more sustainable and just cultural sector. Among them are artists like Madame Gandhi, Kiss Nuka, El Búho, transition scientist Prof. Dr. Jan Rotmans, director of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management Afke van Rijn, EXIT Festival, Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Social Impact at Sony Music UK Charlotte Edgeworth, manager of Belfast rap trio Kneecap Dan Lambert, and Follow the Money journalist Henk Willem Smits. They are joined by representatives from organisations including A Greener Future, Amnesty International, Beatport, Boom Festival, Chasing the Hihat, DJs For Climate Action, ESNS, European Space Agency, Follow the Money, Green Deal Circular Festivals, Into The Great Wide Open, Resident Advisor, Roskilde Festival, Shambala, VibeLab, and more.

This year’s conference program spans pressing social questions, practical sustainability strategies, and cross-sector innovations, while also creating space for reflection and connection. Notable program items include a showcase by Circular Festivals and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, reflecting years of work towards a more sustainable festival sector; an in-depth conversation on ethics and accountability presented by Amnesty International; a pioneering workshop on using A.I. for sustainability management, a panel discussion on changing an organization’s culture from within featuring speakers from Sony Music UK, Resident Advisor, and Beatport; and a session on cross-sector collaborations, showing how organizations can form new partnerships to accelerate the transition towards a future-proof society.

As always, ADE Green emphasises connection and community. The program includes speed-dates with 13 experts in sustainability and social change, the ADE Green Networking Drinks, as well as three exclusive roundtables for a select group of industry professionals at the start of the conference – registrations for these sessions are now open.

The conference will take place on Friday, October 24th (11:00–18:00) at Felix Meritis, Amsterdam. Limited ADE Green tickets are available through the official ADE website, with early booking recommended due to high demand.

The Smashing Pumpkins Announce 30th Anniversary Edition of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

by jummy84 October 2, 2025

written by jummy84

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a 30th anniversary edition of their seminal double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

The new expanded edition will be available November 21st as a 6-LP super deluxe edition and on January 9th as a 4-CD box set. Each contains the original tracklist along with 80 minutes of previously unreleased and recently unearthed recordings from the 1996 tour in support of the album.

“Unearthing these live recordings from the original lineup’s true, last large-scale tour was a labour of love, and for me certainly a bittersweet as once we blew apart in 1996, we were never quite the same: be it emotionally, or spiritually,” commented frontman Billy Corgan in a press release. “Thankfully, I can say this as the band is now enjoying our greatest public success since that time, and one can hear in these tapes the raw power that such nascent faith afforded us, then, and the will and wisdom to persevere that followed.”

OutKast Announces Stankonia 25th Anniversary Edition

If Dua Lipa covers and washing machine jingles aren’t enough to satisfy, OutKast have announced a 25th anniversary deluxe edition of Stankonia.

Due out October 31st from Legacy Recordings, Stankonia (25th Anniversary) is a three vinyl set packed with musical and merchandise goodies galore. Chief among those bounties are three new bonus tracks: “Speed Ballin’” (released on streaming platforms for the very first time); remixes of “B.O.B.” by both the Beat Bullies and Cutmaster Swiff; and the Goodie Mob-featuring “Sole Sunday.”

Meanwhile, the piece de resistance of the packaging is brand new cover art from André 3000. There’s also unreleased photos taken during the album’s 2000 promotional cycle, a glow-in-the-dark poster, and deluxe gatefold packaging. Sadly, they didn’t go for our idea of selling “‘Gasoline Dreams’-scented air fresheners.” The CD and vinyl versions of Stankonia are available now for pre-order.

Miley Cyrus Shares ‘Something Beautiful’ Deluxe Edition

Miley Cyrus is back with more of Something Beautiful.

As promised in a social post earlier in the week, the veteran pop singer has dropped the deluxe edition, featuring the original LP’s 13 songs, plus two new tracks featuring rock icons.

The first of those fresh cuts is a number Cyrus has been teasing for several weeks, “Secrets,” a sweeping ballad featuring former Fleetwood Mac bandmates drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist/singer Lindsey Buckingham.

See latest videos, charts and news

The now 15-track expanded LP closes with a collaboration featuring David Byrne, called “Lockdown.”

It’s not the first time Cyrus and Byrne have made music together. The “Wrecking Ball” singer swung onto the stage with the Talking Heads legend in 2022 for her NBC New Year’s Eve special, when they performed hit a duet on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” as well as Byrne’s “Everybody’s Coming To My House.”

Cyrus’ ninth studio album, Something Beautiful arrived in May and includes collaborations with members of the bands Alvvays, Model/Actriz, the War on Drugs, as well as Danielle Haim, Flea, model Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard. The album was accompanied by a musical film written and co-directed by Cyrus that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and then played in theaters for one-night-only in June before moving to streaming on Hulu.

Something Beautiful peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and is one of Cyrus’ 15 top 10 appearances on the albums chart, a tally that includes five leaders. She has led the Billboard Hot 100 on two occasions, with 2013’s “Wrecking Ball” (for three weeks) and 2023’s “Flowers” (for eight weeks).

The album release was followed with the short film of the same name. After its Tribeca premiere, Something Beautiful was shown as a one-night-only screening across North American theaters on June 12 and internationally on June 27.

Cyrus attended a listening event for fans in Los Angeles earlier this year, where she remarked: “I love making music with everybody on this carpet – I don’t do stages now,” a nod to news that she has no desire to tour again.

Slipknot: Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition) Album Review

by jummy84 September 6, 2025

written by jummy84

Those two were accomplices more than enemies, though; Robinson amplified the demands Jordison made of his bandmates as nu-metal’s first master technician. Slipknot had sheared off most of the instrumental excess that came with coming up in Des Moines’ death metal scene (home to band names like Modifidious, Vexx, and Inveigh Catharsis), but not Jordison. His kick drum could replicate the sound of a jet engine or an industrial thresher. And then it gets punctuated by the sound of a guy bashing a steel shipping container or a beer keg, a perfect merger of virtuosity and dumb violence; I imagine this is what Lars Ulrich thought he was hearing during the St. Anger recording.

Though Slipknot is a nearly flawless execution of a single idea, Slipknot, the band, were still figuring some things out. “Tattered & Torn” and especially “Prosthetics” are Slipknot’s “experimental tracks,” showcases for Jones and turntablist Sid Wilson that argue for an alternate history living out their earliest dreams of signing to Ipecac and touring with Fantômas or Mr. Bungle. “Spit It Out” lives on the complete opposite end; this is the song that got the interest of Robinson and Roadrunner Records and sounds like Static-X in a Spirit Halloween. When Taylor remembers that Slipknot are a metal band, they sound like the subject of a congressional investigation. When he raps, he sounds like the backpacker you’d avoid in the school cafeteria.

The most revealing document of Slipknot figuring it all out comes not from the bounty of demos and live cuts, but the official video for “Wait and Bleed.” Though Slipknot are playing in front of a dazed, crazed crowd of thousands, it doesn’t look glamorous, because it’s not; the footage is from Mancow’s Lazer Luau II, a 1999 shock-jock radio festival at Ankeny Airfield in Des Moines. The video is overlain by a hazy scrim, like the camera was sitting on the tarmac in the oppressive Iowa summer. Compare that to the live clip for “People = Shit,” off their 2001 follow-up, Iowa. In “Wait and Bleed,” Taylor mutters, “This song is called ‘Wait and Bleed.’” Before the beat drops in “People = Shit” he hollers, “Let me see your fucking hands in the air, London!” They now have higher-end, custom-made gear, they do crowdwork, they headbang in unison instead of flopping all over the stage. Even if you still get them confused with Insane Clown Posse, there’s no denying how incredible it looks.

Yet by 2001, there was a lingering sense that this style of music was on its way out. Korn’s Issues, Limp Bizkit’s Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, “Back to School,” all of it was still doing numbers, but the returns were diminishing; Linkin Park proved that nu-metal was more likely to merge with their TRL competitors than vanquish them. I distinctly remember leafing through an issue of Rolling Stone with Slipknot on the cover and a four-star review of the Strokes’ Is This It, and thinking it could be a cultural turning point à la Guns N’ Roses and Nirvana duking it out at the Video Music Awards. The next issue was their 9/11 tribute; Clear Channel stations banned songs ranging from 311’s “Down” to Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” and Jimmy Eat World had to temporarily self-title their breakthrough album. No one knew what America needed to heal at that time, but it probably wasn’t “People = Shit.”

New Edition Reflects On Legacy Amid Street Renaming In Boston Hometown

by jummy84 August 31, 2025

written by jummy84

August 30 will officially be known as “New Edition Day” in Boston.

The acclaimed, pioneering R&B sextet celebrated the honor along with a street naming ceremony in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where the the group was founded. “New Edition Way” will be housed at the corner of Ambrose and Albany Streets near Orchard Gardens (formerly Orchard Park Projects).

“It’s prestigious without a doubt,” Johnny Gill told VIBE of the feat. “To just know that 42 years of what we’ve done here as a group […] there’s a level of contribution that has been made from each and every one of us. When you look at this type of prestige, it’s written in stone. [Our impact] can’t be erased […] The hard work that’s been put in here has paid off in a great way.”

Michael Bivins, who was raised in those housing projects, reflected on a fonder, full circle memory. “The center where it’s going to happen at, that’s where we met,” he shared. “We used to eat in that center. We would get a free meal if you was in the gym […] and a lot of us was taking trays if food was left over.”

He continued, “To have the street [renaming] is one thing, but to have [it] right in front of the gym is another thing.”

Ronnie DeVoe praised his uncle, Brooke Payne, for being the true visionary behind New Edition and laying the foundation for their longevity. He noted, “It’s a testament to the gifts that God gave us and the talents that God gave us and Uncle B honing those skills to the point where the rough turned into the diamonds that we are today. To connect to our city and be recognized with something that’s going to be there forever is truly amazing.”

Not only did the men discuss the present commemoration like the community block party and giveaways, but also pondered how New Edition Day would be celebrated in the future. Considering it’s so close to their group anniversary (Sept. 9), they agreed that the celebration will be “ongoing” and most likely, combined— but not in a traditional sense.

Bivins spoke the different neighborhoods within the city of Boston that most people stay away from and confessed that his goal is unity across the board with New Edition at the forefront.

“There’s people in certain hoods that don’t go to certain places and it’s just what it is. It’s been that way for years. If we could find neutral zones to celebrate, that’s what I hope we do with years to go,” he explained.

For those unfamiliar with Boston territories, Bivins compared his neighborhood to New York City. “Roxbury is considered like Harlem. Queens is like Dorchester and Brooklyn is kind of considered like Dorchester [or] Mattapan.”

Despite Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, and Ralph Tresvant not being present for the conversation, Gill, Bivins, and DeVoe confessed that New Edition still has new dreams that they want to see come true— like getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame among other things. They also just want to continue to remain in good health and spirits.

Bivins added, “I think that’s so important for us because of the taxing that it takes to be New Edition and the commitment that it takes. The fact that we’re living to talk to each other is just so important. Those are the things that I think are in front of us that keeps us being unique and trendsetters and just being special.”

Overall, similar to Jermaine Dupri’s recent praise of New Edition, they all agree, “It’s about time.”

New Edition Celebrates Street Renaming In Boston Hometown: Photos

by jummy84 August 30, 2025

written by jummy84

The City of Boston celebrated New Edition on Saturday (Aug. 30) by declaring it to be “New Edition Day” as the corner of the center where most of the group was raised was renamed to “New Edition Way.”

Mayor Michelle Wu called it an “honor” to “welcome home Roxbury natives New Edition to celebrate their global impact, from our communities here in Boston to the music industry worldwide.”

Bobby Brown said the honor “means the world to me,” since “Boston is where it all began for us.” Ricky Bell added, “I am truly grateful for the privilege of being made a permanent fixture in our city that has played such a significant role in shaping our lives and career. It brings me immense joy to think that future generations of my family, friends, and #NE4Lifers from all over the world will be able to walk and drive down New Edition Way. This honor is mind-blowing in the most awesome way. 02119 IS and WILL always be my home.”

Johnny Gill described the feat to VIBE as “prestigious” whereas Michael Bivins reveled over the “full circle” moment. Ronnie DeVoe added, “It’s a testament to the gifts that God gave us and the talents that God gave us and Uncle [Brooke Payne] honing those skills to the point where the rough turned into the diamonds that we are today. To connect to our city and be recognized with something that’s going to be there forever is truly amazing.”

All six members, along with members of the community, former BET executive Stephen Hill, and more, gathered in Boston for the ceremony and community block party. It was held in front of the Orchard Gardens Boys & Girls Club and featured music, a backpack giveaway for youth, free food, fun activities and a special appearance by the group.

Susumu Yokota: Skintone Edition Volume 1 Album Review

by jummy84 August 23, 2025

written by jummy84

Inspired by a visit to Yakushima Island’s Unsuikyo Ravine—the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke and home to the Jomon Sugi, a cedar tree estimated to be as many as 7,000 years old—The Boy and the Tree is part forest bathing, part plunderphonic immersion in Yokota’s record collection. Its 12 deeply psychedelic tracks fold together birdsong, chanting, raga, gamelan, flute, marimba, zither, revving motorcycles, and hand percussion. The ambient tracks take shape like drops of ink spreading through water; the rhythmic ones eschew conventional drum programming for scraps of percussion and stringed instruments from around the world, weaving them into pulsing throughlines that bring order to the gentle chaos of his flyaway sounds.

If The Boy and the Tree is Yokota at his most satisfyingly complex, 2003’s Laputa shows him at his most bewildering. The album’s 15 tracks—some just a minute or two long, and none reaching five—unfold like dreams, or landscapes blurring past the window of a speeding train. Even the best ambient music can be difficult to recall in detail once it has finished playing, but in the case of Laputa, you may have difficulty remembering how a given track even began. “Rising Sun” is a swirl of birdsong, drones, cowboy guitar, ring-modulated gurgling, and what sounds like a scrap of operatic aria lifted from a scratchy 78; “Gong Gong Gong” collages together gongs, pedal steel, and nonsensical spoken-word; “Lost Ring” superimposes ECM-grade ambience with Blade Runner-esque noir saxophone and, briefly and bizarrely, a perky splash of bluesy Hammond organ. The mood throughout is sometimes beatific, sometimes druggily disturbing. I’m frequently reminded of Philip Jeck’s slowed-down vinyl excavations; a ghostly quality hangs over every track and every sample, as though Yokota were seeking to contact spirits. The spectral “Trip Eden”—a liquid soundscape of moaning voices and shivery close harmonies—might be the most harrowing thing he ever recorded.

Seven albums can be a lot to absorb from any artist; all the more so when they entail such jarring shifts in mood—like Will—or require such focused, emotionally engaged listening, like Laputa. But Yokota benefits from the box-set treatment. To immerse yourself in his work is to be reminded of its uncommon depth, and to realize how intricately it’s all connected. The abject mourning of “Trip Eden,” the insouciance of “King Dragonfly,” the bliss of “Hagoromo”—they are all facets of Yokota’s pursuit of a totalizing picture of human emotion. In the original liner notes to Image 1983 – 1998, Yokota looked back on his years obsessed with dance music with alarm and regret. “My life became techno,” he wrote. “From morning until evening, rhythms were repetitively ticked off while sleeping, and fractal images were the only reflection I saw…. I was slipping into the memories of the future. After awakening from this mind-control, I started to seek and get inspiration from reality and everyday life; the food I eat, cats from my neighbourhood, and most of all, how I live.” These seven albums make clear how profoundly Yokota was able to translate his quotidian reality to tape, resulting in some of the most original and idiosyncratic ambient music of its era. Skintone Edition Volume 1 is a moving portrait of a life lived in sound.
