NEW BOOTH. NEW FREQUENCIES For years, the dancefloor followed a simple logic: everyone facing the same direction. The DJ upfront, elevated, setting the pace.

For more than a decade, TBA Brooklyn was not just another nightclub — it was a sanctuary, as reported by BKMAG in its March 2025 feature “The End of an Era: Remembering TBA, One of Brooklyn’s Last Great Nightclubs.” A raw garage under the Williamsburg Bridge where music was lived without pretense: unfinished floors, a booth that leveled unknown DJs with veterans, and a crowd that came for sound, not […]

On September 6, Mad Radio lands at Salöön, inside the Holzmarkt 25 complex, for a takeover that doesn’t aim to explain Berlin to the world but to enter into dialogue with the city. Berlin is already a global reference point; the goal is to add a new frequency to the air.

What used to unite us is now fenced off. The VIP divide is no longer a detail—it’s shaping how we dance, and who gets to. Earlier this year, UK techno DJ Cleric posted a story after playing in Colombia: “Colombia, I love you, but we need to get rid of this VIP division on the dancefloor. The dancefloor is a space for everyone, where different worlds can merge around a […]

Let’s get real for a second: it's 2024, and after generations of musicians calling for peace, love, and togetherness, the world still feels like one chaotic fire that refuses to be put out. Literally. We’ve got wars, climate disasters, political tension, and people still killing each other. So, where is the secret solution? Music saves us to an extent—or at least it tries. But with all the “Make Love, Not […]

Sin embargo, detrás de los brillantes focos de las pistas de baile y los aplausos de las multitudes, persisten desafíos arraigados relacionados con la equidad de género y la presencia de misoginia en la escena electrónica. Las estadísticas […]
