DJ Carlo Atendido: What It’s Like DJing a Festival in the Philippines

DJ Carlo Atendido

In January, DJ Carlo Atendido launched a series on DJcityTV called DJ Life, offering a glimpse into his life as a traveling DJ. The first episode finds the two-time Red Bull 3Style Philippines champion running into trouble as he attempts to perform at a show where there’s no equipment.

Now, it’s smooth sailing for Carlo. On the second installment of the series, he heads to Iloilo City in the Philippines to DJ at the Dinagyang Festival. Carlo is greeted by dancers at the airport, holds a meet and greet with fans, and then rocks a set at the festival.

Watch DJ Life above.

Facebook Signs Licensing Deal With Warner Music Group

Facebook

Facebook

Facebook has signed a “holistic” licensing agreement with Warner Music Group (WMG), according to a press release from the label. The deal means that Facebook is now partners with three major music companies, the others being Universal Music Group (UMG) and Sony/ATV.

The agreement will allow users to “create, upload and share videos with licensed music” from WMG’s catalog across Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Oculus.

Like the UMG and Sony deals, DJs and producers should be free to upload videos of their mixes, remixes, and routines that contain music from the label.

WMG’s family of labels includes Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. Records, and Parlophone. Their roster includes Skrillex, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Uzi Vert, PartyNextDoor, Cardi B, and Ed Sheeran. They also control the catalogs of giants like the Wu-Tang Clan and Linkin Park.

WMG did not specify when users will be able to start using their content.

Warner/Chappell Global Digital Strategy EVP Eric Mackay said in the press release:

“The team at Facebook is creating a truly innovative product and is showing real commitment to its participation in the growth of the music business. We’ve taken our time to arrive at the best possible deal, one that recognises the value that music creates on social networks, while empowering our songwriters to reach audiences around the world.”

WMG Chief Digital Officer Ole Obermann added:

“Our partnership with Facebook will help expand the universe of music streaming and create supplementary revenue for artists. Fan-created video is one of the most personal, social and often viral ways that music is enjoyed, but its commercial potential is largely untapped.”

Tropkillaz Recruit Aloe Blacc for New Anthem, ‘Milk & Honey’

Tropkillaz

Brazilian DJ/producer duo Tropkillaz have dropped their highly anticipated new single featuring Aloe Blacc, “Milk & Honey.”

It’s the lead track off the group’s upcoming debut album and marks a change of pace from their usual bass-heavy style to a more pop-driven sound.

As its name suggests, “Milk & Honey” is about working hard to achieve success. “I think many people can identify with the song,” Tropkillaz member Laudz said in the press release. “The song deals with hustling, a rags to riches mentality and improving your life — which is a priority for many, regardless of where they come from.”

Watch the video above and download “Milk & Honey” on DJcity.
