Alison Wonderland connects with fans on a spiritual level around the world — but when she’s in Las Vegas, she goes big. See how she translates her love of DJing into shows where her fans can be present in the moment on her journey to ‘Get It Together’ ahead of her electric White Claw Sessions performance in Las Vegas.
Tetris Kelly:
Alison, Alison, Alison.
Alison Wonderland: Oh, hey, Tetris.
I thought you were gonna meet me in the lobby.
I got carried away. I’m so sorry.
On the White Claw bus? It’s waiting on us. We need to roll.
Let’s go. Let’s go.
Yo, what’s good it’s Tetris!
And I’m Alison Wonderland.
And we’re rushing to the casino right now because Alison is performing tonight, and she’s taking us with her.
White Claw session? Let’s go.
Gonna have some fun before we get to that show. So now that the vibes are ready, what are we preparing?
Well, we are in Vegas, so we gotta go big because I started off as a scratching DJ. I still like to play in vinyl mode, because even if I’m playing on CBJ, it’s not copper vinyl, you can still treat it like an instrument. You can still do scratches. The best thing you can do as a DJ is make sure everyone is having the best time and they forget about their phones. I don’t even think about it for me. I just feel like, oh my gosh, all these people are here, and we’re doing this together. I literally can sit in my bedroom and mix for hours, and I do that every day. I genuinely love,DJing.
Tonight, we’re gonna create the vibe again, and it’s all about grabbing life by the claw. What’s a time in your life that you did something crazy and you were like that really worked out?

A collection of remixes of The Cure’s 2024 album Songs of a Lost World is out Friday (June 13), and ahead of the release, electronic duo Daybreakers is exclusively sharing their edit of the group’s “Warsong” from the project.
In Daybreakers’ hands, the steady, heavy, four minute and 17 second original becomes more than six minutes of hypnotic synth and muscular basslines, with a long build releasing into sped up of vocals from The Cure frontman Robert Smith and the entire edit containing the same sense of mystique and style of the legendary U.K. band is known for. Listen to the “Warsong” remix below.
“As long time fans of The Cure, we had always wanted to do a project with them, and via our mutual friend and legendary producer, Mark Saunders, the opportunity arose when Robert got in touch to discuss our interest in doing a remix,” the duo tell Billboard in a joint statement.

Made up of producers Ric Scot and Alex Hush, Daybreakers previous work includes remixes of U2’s “Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It’s Way” and Madonna’s “I Rise.” “I Rise” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart in Aug. 2019, aided by a package of remixes from artists including Daybreakers, Tracy Young, DJLW, Kue and Offer Nissim. “Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It’s Way” also hit No. 1 on this same chart in July of 2018 on the power of a remix collection that Daybreakers was a part of.
Scot and Hush’s first work together was a 2020 edit of Erasure’s “Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)” after which they decided to make Daybreakers an ongoing project.
As Mixes of a Lost World project came to life, Smith offered Daybreakers two tracks to choose from, one of them being ‘Warsong” which the pair say “really lent itself to something that we could incorporate our sound with. The song has a conflicted sadness to it but at the same time, we knew we could really make it work with a dance vibe.”
Daybreakers remix of “Warsong” has a real sense of drama,” Smith tells Billboard. “The breakdowns are simple, but far-out, and the vibe is cool, but urgent. It is one of my favorites on the [remix] album.”
Mixes of a Lost World will also feature edits by Four Tet, Orbital, Trentemøller, Chino Moreno, Paul Oakenfold and more. The project is out June 13 via Fiction/Capitol Records. In a statement made when the project was announced, Smith said that The Cure “has a colorful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.”
“To be chosen to do a remix is a great honor and we are thrilled with how much Robert likes the remix and we hope others do as well,” Daybreakers add. “Being included on the remix album alongside such a great variety of talented artists and producers is a huge privilege. Additionally, with all of The Cure’s recording royalties being donated to the WarChild UK charity, it really is for a wonderful cause.”

As protests continue in Los Angeles following sweeping ICE raids, electronic producer Cloonee has postponed a pair of shows meant to happen in the city this weekend.
“For the past four years now, I have called this city my home,” the British artist wrote Tuesday (June 10) in a statement posted to social media. “Like the city, my fans are diverse and it breaks my heart to see what the Latino community is going through right now.
“I have therefore decided that the right, responsible and only decision is to postpone this weekend’s events,” he continues. “Our time together is meant to be one of celebration, and now is not the time for celebrating.” Read the complete statement below.

These shows were scheduled to happen June 13-14 at City Market in downtown Los Angeles, an area of town that’s seen myriad raids by ICE amid federal immigration efforts. Cloonee’s shows are now scheduled to happen July 11-12, with all tickets valid for the corresponding new dates, with refunds also available for the next seven days.
According to the L.A. Times, an immigrants-rights leader in the city reported that “about 300 people have been detained by federal authorities in California since sweeps began last week.” The situation has been inflamed after the Trump administration deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles amid protests over ICE raids.
Cloonee is one of many artists who’s spoken out on the ICE raids and their aftermath, with Doechii using her speech at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Monday (June 9) to say that “I do wanna address what’s happening right now outside of the building. There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is using military force to stop a protest. And I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?”

I will make this up to you in a months time.Dave.”

Tiësto and Sexyy Red are revving their engines with the just-released collab “OMG!”
The slinky song, in which Sexyy Red opines about maxing out credit cards, breaking the rules and being “too high to be cool” over the Dutch producer’s woozy beat, comes from the forthcoming soundtrack to the Brad Pitt-starring racing film F1.
“Who would have thought that Tiësto would have a collab with Sexyy Red?” the producer recently told Billboard backstage at EDC Las Vegas. “No one, absolutely no one, but here it is, and it’s an amazing track. I think people will really like it. It’s super dance.”
“OMG!” has been in the works for awhile, with Tiësto playing it during a huge performance in October at the annual dance gathering ADE. The track comes from the F1 the Album soundtrack, with the corresponding film hitting theaters on June 27, the same day the soundtrack will be released.

Independent live events tech platform Fever said on Thursday it agreed to acquire the U.K. ticketing and discovery platform DICE, according to a press release.
The news comes a day after Fever announced it raised $100 million in a funding round led by L Catterton and Point72.
The tie-up will strengthen Fever’s standing as a global tech entertainment company and will help the 11-year-old DICE scale by giving it access to the 40 countries Fever operates in, the company’s executives said in a statement.
Fever, which operates a discovery platform and media reaching more than 300 million people in 40 countries, says joining forces with DICE will strengthen its global standing while helping DICE to scale. DICE says it has 10 million monthly active fans and ticket sales have doubled in the past two years, according to the press release.

Fever, which combines audience insights, ticketing and discovery tools for promoters and venues, was most-recently valued at $1.8 billion in 2023, Music Business Worldwide reported. The company partners with festivals, such as Primavera Sound, Rock in Rio Lisbon and Pitchfork, as well as independent venues like Clapham Grand.
DICE users will be able to continue using the platform “exactly as they are today,” according to the release.
