ADULT FILM STAR CAUGHT ON CAMERA PERFORMING SEX ACT IN CROWD AT BASSNECTAR'S DEJA VOOM FESTIVAL
Bassnectar’s destination festival Deja Voom just kicked off its debut year in Riviera Maya, Mexico, this weekend. The “first ever tropical family vacation”, is headlined by Bassnectar himself, and features performances by REZZ, The Glitch Mob, Mala & Coki (Digital Mystikz) and many more.
Adult film star Adriana Chechik attended the festival, and tweeted the following earlier this week:
Many thought Chechik wasn’t being serious, yet the following video surfaced, showing a girl that could be the adult film star giving a blowjob in the middle of the crowd. While one couldn’t assert this is Chechik with certainty, she responded to a tweet and may have confirmed that she is the woman in the video.
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES PHASE 2 LINEUP WITH HEADLINERS TIËSTO, SEVEN LIONS, MORE
After the festival's staggering Phase 1 reveal just a few weeks ago, Ultra has now announced a plethora of additional artists for its long-awaited return to Miami in 2022.
Headlining Ultra Music Festival 2022 will be Adam Beyer, Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Jauz b2b NGHTMRE, Joseph Capriati, Sasha / John Digweed, Seven Lions, Tiësto, and Vintage Culture b2b Claptone. They join Martin Garrix, Kygo, DJ Snake, David Guetta, and a litany of other dance music superstars announced as part of Phase 1.
When Ultra organizers shared the first wave of artists last month, they announced a special Sunday closing performance from "one of the most iconic artists in electronic music history." Despite today's reveal of over 80 acts, mum's still the word on the elusive artist's identity.
However, no one's name has been thrown around in EDM circles more than Hardwell's. And considering the notion that his iconic 2013 Ultra set is synonymous with the mythos of the festival, there's a good chance he's coming out of retirement for its momentous return next year. The Dutch electronic music icon, who retired from touring in 2018, recently teased a resurgence at this year's Amsterdam Dance Event.
Ultra Music Festival 2022 lineup featuring DJ Snake, Armin van Buuren, Kygo, Martin Garrix, and more.

NILE RODGERS WANTS TO RELEASE UNRELASED COLLABS WITH AVICII: "WE COULD WRITE THE ENTIRE TOP TEN"
The famed guitarist and singer-songwriter said he'd like to release never-before-heard music with the blessing of Avicii's family.
Unreleased music written by Avicii is rare, but Nile Rodgers may have access to a treasure trove.
The famed guitarist and singer-songwriter recently appeared on Norwegian-Swedish television talk show Skavlan, where he chatted about music he recorded with the late dance music legend. According to Rodgers, their collaborative vault contains many never-before-heard musical ideas, which he wants to release with the blessing of Avicii's family and estate.
Rodgers co-wrote Avicii's single "Lay Me Down," which appeared on Avicii's 2013 debut album, True. He said that if Avicii's family asked him, he would happily mix the many other tracks they recorded because he "knew what Tim was thinking." Rodgers also added that he's not interested in working on any music he didn't have a part of.
"I love Tim. We wrote a lot," Rodgers said. "I used to say—and I've said this many times—that if you put Tim and I in a room together for one week, we could write the entire top ten. I mean, that's how talented he was. He was a natural melody writer. Even though he didn't read music, he didn't understand it technically, but for some reason, spiritually and artistically, he had a gift."
Check out the interview below.
In a 2018 interview with Variety—conducted in the wake of Avicii's tragic death at the age of 28—Rodgers said there's plenty of music they recorded together that is yet to be released.
"There’s tons! Tons!" Rodgers said at the time. "We would go in in the morning and write 5-6 songs every single time we worked together."

EIGHT KILLED AND HUNDREDS INJURED IN CROWD CRUSH AT TRAVIS SCOTT’S ASTROWORLD 2021 FESTIVAL
Scott has issued a statement as attendees share accounts of the event
Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured at Travis Scott’s Astroworld 2021 Festival.
Described by officials as a "mass casualty incident," the tragedy occurred as a result of a crowd crush at the 50,000-capacity event in Houston, Texas on Friday, 5th November. Of the 300 people injured, 11 people were hospitalized due to cardiac arrest, and eight died.
Speaking about the incident — which occurred around 9:40 pm local time — Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said: “The crowd began to compress towards the front of the stage, and that caused some panic, and it started causing some injuries. People began to fall out, become unconscious, and it created additional panic."
In a statement, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner revealed that a 14-year-old was among the eight people killed at the event. He also revealed that the music was not halted until 10:10 pm — 30 minutes after the crush reportedly began. “This is a very, very active investigation and we will probably be at it for quite some time to determine what happened,” he added.
Travis Scott issued a statement about the incident on Saturday, 6th November. “I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night," he wrote. "My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival. Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life.
"I am committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need. Thank you to Houston PD, Fire Department and NRG Park for their immediate response and support. Love You All.”
According to the Houston Chronicle, Scott reportedly stopped the performance several times during his headline set after "spotting fans in distress", and asked for security to step in.
According to Billboard, three lawsuits — one naming Drake as a co-defendant — have been filed against the rapper relating to the crowd crush. “This kind of behavior has long been encouraged by the festival’s founder and main performer,” said one plaintiff, festival-goer Manuel Souza. “His express encouragement of violence has previously resulted in serious violence at numerous past concerts.”
