Conduit Launches Game-Changing Technology to the World of Live Streaming!
Conduit is shaking up the world of live streaming by making a cost effective game-changing suite of tools and technology available to everyone, rather than just big budget Hollywood and video game productions who have benefited from it in the past. This unique new service is a vital new addition for artists, labels and events looking to upgrade their live streams, design newly interactive visual performances and stand proudly apart from the crowd.
Conduit aims to make real time interactive performances accessible for artists and audiences alike. The underlying game engine technology used is the same that VFX studios including Disney rely on to create productions such as the recent Star Wars Mandalorian series and the Marvel CMU movies, amongst other CGI heavy productions. In terms of live performances, the action is captured via a series of virtual cinematic cameras that combine to create a sense of real connection to the artist and the performance.
The concept came about as a pure reaction to the ongoing pandemic and was a creative endeavour to find a more immersive and interactive format to the ‘head in a box’ style live streams that have flooded social channels in the last year. With an internal wheelhouse that already consisted of game development and video production, it made sense for Conduit to develop an optimal process that could evolve the livestream format and provide a way to dynamically capture the energy of an artist’s performance and then feed that into an interactive audio reactive world.
Since launching in early 2020, Conduit has produced a number of full feature length performances for Insomniac TV, Kryder and Black Hole Recordings with the new shows coming thick and fast. An amazing behind the scenes production video gives a quick glimpse into how the next level Kryteria streams were put together. The debut Kryteria show for Insomniac TV features a full range of services including full body motion capture, avatar creation, rigging and audio reactive world development, and can be viewed on Vimeo. A trailer for the upcoming Kryteria Metaverse can also be viewed here.
Says Kryder of the project, “We partnered with Conduit for a series of virtual performances after they wowed us with the technology and its possibilities. The reception to the first airing on Insomniac TV and Nicky Romero’s Protocol show blew people’s minds and we are excited to deliver the forthcoming Kryteria Metaverse album using the technology next month. Big things coming!”
Conduit have also used the game engine to create a series of trailers and visuals for ilan Bluestone’s upcoming album ‘Impulse’ on Anjunabeats which can be seen in this video.
Anjunabeats’ Amy Wiles testifies, “We have been working with Conduit on the new ilan Bluestone album campaign which visually has turned out to be a roaring success across our social media platforms and has brought the campaign and ilan’s visual world to life just how we imagined.”
Bluestone himself adds, “Working with Conduit and their technology has been absolutely mind blowing. The graphics and animation potential of the Unreal Engine and the creative ideas from the Conduit team is just on another level as they showed in the trailer for my new album ‘Impulse’. The Unreal Engine is the future of any CGI video and I’m excited to see this technology evolve and can’t wait to start using it as visuals for my live shows.”
Conduit Founder and Creative Director Clarke Noone says, “After a few rounds of iteration and finding the right tech partners, we moved to integrating a Rokoko full body motion capture system that feeds live animation data into the Unreal Engine – a high end game engine that is becoming very popular in the VFX and film industry. The beauty of using this cutting edge technology means that we are well equipped for what is round the corner and already hard at work on what a holographic version of the product looks like.
With a couple shows now under our belt, people are starting to see what is possible with Conduit and quickly firing ideas back at us for how we can use the tech for live stage productions, VR experiences and Augmented reality. Our quick-fire response – “Anything is possible!”
Conduit is very much at the forefront of this exciting new technological development, so now is the time to get involved and remain truly ahead of the curve as you bring a whole new visual dimension and heightened sense of occasion and experience to your live streams.

SHINE Ibiza returns to 528 Ibiza for a one-day boutique festival takeover this September
SHINE Ibiza returns to the White Isle on Thursday, September 24, 2026, for a monumental one-day boutique festival at 528 Ibiza, headlined by electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk.
SHINE Ibiza is back on the island for a one-day boutique festival takeover at the award-winning 528 Ibiza on Thursday, September 24, 2026. The event will include legendary electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk alongside a host of international artists and emerging talent across three stages, promising to be one of the summer’s most memorable dance music experiences to date.
The festival delivers a transformational open-air to club journey, following the rhythm of the island from golden sunlight to late-night transcendence. The event begins on the Garden Stage, where sun-soaked melodies and Balearic skies set the tone for connection and freedom. As the night draws in, the focus moves into the club and expands into the venue’s iconic teatro arena, offering a heightened and immersive experience following last year’s standout celebration.
This year’s SHINE Ibiza event will be a single-day feature, incorporating three stages and over 10 top DJs and special guests, navigating across Trance, Techno, and Progressive soundtracks, with performances from Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Bryan Kearney, Ciaran McAuley, David Forbes, FUENKA, Anunnakis, Seb Fontaine, Edele Andaya, Stephen Kirkwood, and ITE DJs. Each artist will bring a unique dimension to the festival, shaping an emotional journey from euphoric daytime highs to late-night intensity.
Paul van Dyk comments:
“Bringing SHINE to 528 Ibiza for the first time last summer was truly special. The location, the vibe, the people… there was so much happiness and openness in the air. It reminded me of the true core of Ibiza: connection, freedom, and pure love for the music.”
As a long-term island fixture, both SHINE Ibiza and its enduring community are central to the experience. Renowned for attracting one of the friendliest and most open-hearted crowds in Ibiza annually, this is where the dancefloor becomes an unadulterated celebration of positivity and connection, creating an atmosphere that extends beyond a typical party, embodying the spirit of Ibiza.
Thursday, September 24th, 528 Ibiza will come alive as the ultimate destination with a world-class lineup, three pivotal stages, and a community that is united in rhythm.

James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with his mix of ‘Gitanita’ by STBAN, Sandra Carrasco, and Josemi Carmona.
Celebrated UK producer James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with new single ‘Gitanita’, his second collaboration with label boss STBAN after the pair released ‘El Camino’ on Toolroom Records late last year.
‘Gitanita’ – which means “gypsy” in Spanish – also sees the pair reunite with famed Flamenco singer Sandra Carrasco and influential, pioneering guitarist Josemi Carmona. Carmona’s gently undulating guitar rhythms shuffle softly against Iberic-style percussion, Carrasco’s evocative vocal adding an extra level of tension to the pair’s deft composition. The result is a taut and delicate track that harnesses the raw emotional power of traditional flamenco music and moves it firmly onto the pulsing heart of the dance floor.
“Collaborating with STBAN has been an exciting musical challenge, away from my comfort zone and into the modal world of flamenco music,” Hurr said. “There’s something dark and mysterious in STBAN’s music that works perfectly with driving club beats.”
“I’m delighted to be working again with James,” STBAN commented, “and to have him officially releasing on the FLAMENCA Records label after our Toolroom collaboration is the icing on the cake. Once again we’ve co-created a beautiful fusion between the worlds of flamenco and electronic.”
New EDM Friday Mar 13 has arrived and we’ve got new electronic dance music by Martin Garrix, John Summit, and more.
The second Friday of March is here, and the new music is here too. Martin Garrix has his own vocals on a single, John Summit continues to build to his album, and heavy-hitting dubstep collaborations dominate the roundup, here are the songs you cannot miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Martin Garrix – Catharina
After lending his vocals on a collaboration with Arijit Singh, Martin Garrix now kicks off his new album rollout with ‘Catharina’. This track marks a historic first for the Dutch phenom: it features his very own vocals. Moving away from the high-octane big room sound, ‘Catharina’ offers a more personal, melodic glimpse into Garrix’s current headspace. It is a bold, artistic step forward that proves even after a decade at the top, Martin is still finding new ways to innovate.
John Summit & Rohaan – SATA
Continuing to build the momentum to his new album, John Summit joins forces with Rohaan for ‘SATA’ via Experts Only. This 140bpm pulsating track is a masterclass in tension, blending a dark Latin twist with heavy, warehouse-ready low end. It is a “no-frills” weapon designed specifically for the booth, highlighting Summit’s impeccable ear for composition and his ability to bridge the gap between mainstage appeal and underground grit.
Shlump – The Chronicles of Shlump: Sine Waves & Stardust (Album)
Bay Area bass architect Shlump officially enters the pantheon of elite producers with his debut LP, ‘The Chronicles of Shlump – Sine Waves & Stardust’. Released via WAKAAN, the 11-track journey is Shlump’s most cohesive work to date. Shlump admits that after years of trying to please fans, this project was written to please himself, resulting in an immersive blend of warped basslines, psychedelic grooves, and “wubby” pressure. It’s an album built for deep listening and late-night festival camps alike.
Kaleena Zanders & Hayley May – Who We Are
Vocal powerhouse Kaleena Zanders teams up with the soulful Hayley May for the radiant anthem ‘Who We Are’. This is the second single from Kaleena’s upcoming debut album, ‘Anything Goes’. The track is a feel-good, gospel-charged house record that captures the electric chemistry of two of the industry’s most commanding voices. It’s a golden-hour festival heater that pulses with unity and pure dancefloor euphoria.
Virtual Riot & YDG ft. Luma – Paralyzed
Virtual Riot continues his legacy of championing the next generation by linking up with rising producer YDG for ‘Paralyzed’. Featuring a soaring, cinematic vocal performance from Luma, the track is a masterclass in modern dubstep. It balances delicate, emotional songwriting with the colossal, surgical precision sound design that Virtual Riot is world-renowned for.
Kill Safari ft. Armanni Reign – Chrome
The veteran super-duo Kill Safari (Kill the Noise and Bro Safari) returns with the ferocious ‘Chrome’. Featuring the legendary Armanni Reign, the track is an industrial dubstep weapon that sounds exactly like its title: metallic, sharp, and cold. Built on crushing basslines and Armanni’s commanding delivery, ‘Chrome’ proves that these two pioneers are still at the absolute forefront of the genre’s evolution.
