If you’ve ever been to a festival — and let’s be honest, most of us have — you’ve probably heard at least one horror story about someone losing their phone in the crowd. Between filming sets, coordinating meetups with friends, and navigating massive festival grounds, your phone has become an essential.

That growing concern is exactly what inspired ClutchLoop. The company originally launched its anti-theft phone tether as a simple solution to help festival-goers keep their devices secure in crowded environments without sacrificing accessibility.

Now, the brand is taking the concept a step further with the introduction of ClutchLoop II, an updated version of its phone tether designed to improve both security and everyday usability.

A Smarter Design

At its core, ClutchLoop works by attaching a phone to a retractable tether that connects to a bag, belt loop, or piece of clothing. This allows users to pull their phone out to film, text, or check directions while keeping it physically secured to them at all times.

ClutchLoop II introduces several upgrades aimed at making the system stronger and easier to use. The redesigned model features a reinforced retractable steel cable along with an improved anchor system that attaches securely to most phone cases.

The updated design also includes a magnetic locking mechanism that helps keep the phone in place when it’s not actively being used. This added stability can be especially useful in crowded environments where phones are frequently pulled out to capture videos or photos.

Moving Beyond Festivals

The launch of ClutchLoop II moves beyond festivals and into everyday life. As smartphones continue to function as cameras, wallets, navigation tools, and digital tickets, the importance of keeping them secure extends far beyond music events.

New EDM Friday Mar 6 has come and its packed with new electronic music by Dom Dolla, David Guetta, Hardwell, and more.

As we head into the peak of the spring festival season, the industry’s heavyweights are building their momentum. Hhere is your essential guide to this week’s New EDM Friday.

Puretone – Addicted To Bass (Dom Dolla Relapse)

The Australian king of house, Dom Dolla, puts his Midas touch on a certified classic with his Relapse of Puretone’s ‘Addicted To Bass’. Dom delivers a thick, rolling bassline and sharp modern percussion that breathes new life into the iconic vocal. It’s a nostalgic yet forward-thinking club weapon that has been a staple in his massive festival sets over the last few months, and it finally arrives today to dominate the charts.

Hardwell, Vini Vici & Mr.Black ft. Liquid Soul – Crazy People 2026

Hardwell, Vini Vici, Mr.Black, and Liquid Soul join forces for a 2026 update of the psy-trance-influenced anthem ‘Crazy People’. This version is engineered for maximum mainstage impact, featuring thunderous triplets, distorted kicks, and a relentless energy that bridges the gap between big-room techno and pure psy-trance euphoria.

Max White x Mindgazm – Midnight Voyage

Max White teams up with Mindgazm for a hypnotic indie dance collaboration, ‘Midnight Voyage’. Built for late-night momentum, the track is driven by a rolling groove and melodic textures that evolve with intention. It successfully blends emotional depth with an irresistible steady pulse, creating a moody, atmospheric record that locks the room in from the very first drop.

AFTER MIDNIGHT (Matroda & San Pacho) – Rich & Handsome

Acclaimed house innovators Matroda and San Pacho officially unveil their new collaborative project, AFTER MIDNIGHT, with the debut single ‘Rich & Handsome’. Designed specifically for the after-hours environment, the track merges Matroda’s technical precision with San Pacho’s raw energy. Led by CREG’s magnetic vocals, the record is confident, hypnotic, and built for movement. With a debut live performance set for Do LaB at Coachella, ‘Rich & Handsome’ establishes the tone for a project built around scarcity and cultural weight.

Nostalgix ft. Kiesza – Dancing Through It All

Trailblazer Nostalgix drops the final pre-album single from her debut LP, ‘Inferno’ (arriving March 27). Joining forces with the iconic Kiesza, ‘Dancing Through It All’ is an electrifying bass-house anthem built for celebration. While previous singles like ‘Fall Apart’ explored vulnerability, this collaboration is a heavy, dancefloor-ready reminder of Nostalgix’s high-energy roots. It’s the perfect hype-builder as she prepares for Ultra Music Festival and her upcoming headlining tour.

DJ Mii – BREAK YOUR NECK

Japanese powerhouse DJ Mii makes a massive statement today with ‘BREAK YOUR NECK’ on Monstercat. Known for blending hardstyle and live guitar, this release marks a deliberate pivot: her first track that is 100% dubstep from start to finish. Stripping back the hybrid structures, DJ Mii returns to the “core” tension and physical impact of the genre. Following support from legends like Hardwell, this high-energy experience is set to introduce her signature precision to a global audience.

R3HAB & RHODES – Right Here…

R3HAB leans into his melodic sensibilities alongside the soulful vocals of RHODES for the moving single ‘Right Here…’. It’s a beautifully produced mid-tempo record that balances R3HAB’s polished electronic layers with an organic, heartfelt core. It serves as a perfect atmospheric contrast to the week’s heavier club offerings.

UNTOLD expands the lineup beyond mainstage, unveiling the first artists set to perform at its iconic Galaxy stage, the house and techno home of the 3rd best festival in the world. The first wave includes the highly anticipated return of the music legend Carl Cox, the debuts of Holy Priest and Mau P, and the comeback of Joseph Capriati. 

UNTOLD celebrates its new era this summer from August 6-9, in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, in the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca, with 200+ worldwide acts, eight stages and multiple music spots, tens of immersive activations, unique experiences, and the best crowd in the world.

The first artists for the mainstage are Martin Garrix, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Kygo, James Hype, Afrojack, R3hab, Lost Frequencies, Sebastian Ingrosso, MËSTIZA, Steve Aoki, and the live acts of Sting, Lewis Capaldi, Flo Rida, Swae Lee and Tash Sultana.

More names for both the Mainstage and the Galaxy stage will be revealed soon. 

A true pioneer of global electronic music culture, Carl Cox returns to UNTOLD for a powerful set inside the festival’s only indoor stage. With a career spanning more than three decades, Carl Cox remains one of the most influential ambassadors of house and techno worldwide, known for his dynamic performances and enduring connection with festival audiences.

Representing the new generation of techno, Holy Priest brings his high-intensity sound to UNTOLD for the first time. His productions are characterized by hard and industrial influences, fast tempos, and direct structures, reflecting the raw energy of contemporary techno and gaining rapid traction across digital platforms and international festival circuits.

Rising to global recognition with his 2022 breakout hit “Drugs From Amsterdam,” Mau P has quickly become a defining name in modern house music, delivering groove-driven tracks designed to ignite dancefloors at clubs and major festivals alike.

Another highlight of the Galaxy stage announcement is the return of Joseph Capriati.
