Eliezer Returns with ‘Chicken Town’ and announces 3 NYC label events
Eliezer, the founder of Chicken Town Records, announces his latest release alongside three new label events in New York City. Named after his label, ‘Chicken Town’ will be released on November 21st and showcases his bold, post-punk edge that has seen him carve out a reputation as one of New York City’s most fearless and forward-thinking artists.
The release captures the essence of Chicken Town’s sound, combining punk-edged spoken word with a genre-blurring electronic backdrop that is upbeat, irreverent, and full of attitude. Across three tracks, it presents a sound that sits somewhere between Eliezer and Underworld, delivering a bold, propulsive energy that feels both expansive and unmistakably thematic in its delivery. The result is a collection that channels the raw intensity of the underground while pushing confidently into new sonic territory.
Alongside the release, Eliezer announces three new Chicken Town events set to take place across New York City. The series begins on 21st November at The Sultan Room, followed by a night at Night Club 101 on 28th November. A third date at The Sultan Room will take place in January, with more events also set to be announced. Each event will showcase the label’s raw energy and spirit that defines Chicken Town. Championing freedom, fun, and a creative edge that is often overlooked by promoters.
Blazing through the international scene with an untamed, punk-driven sound that is equal measures electronic and innovative, Eliezer channels the raw vibe of acid house, post-punk, and indie electronica mutations. As a producer and artist, he has become recognised as a major player in the underground movement with formative releases on the likes of New Day Everyday, La Dame Noir Records, Play Pal Music, Nein Records, and La Belle. His personal edits that include ‘Psycho Killer’ and ‘Sinnerman’ remain in consistent demand with tastemakers and are exclusively available on Bandcamp, whilst recent releases ‘David Bowie’ and ‘Love Is A Drug’ continue to receive support from major players including Groove Armada, Steve Lawler, Oscar G, Makossa, Paco Osuna, Ruben Mandolini, DJ Harvey, Terry Farley, Vanilla Ace and Tom Novy.
Eliezer’s DJ sets effortlessly defy trends, driven purely by instinct, emotion, and an unparalleled energy. His sound has both influenced and impacted many notable players worldwide. With his diverse catalogue championed by both DJs and dancers alike. Eliezer has carved out a singular space, far from commercial dance music, yet undeniably magnetic, that translates from radio to where he thrives, in dark rooms and clubs that maintain the magic and openly celebrate rave culture. His sets are highly engaging and unpredictable, where each set is intimate, immersive, and unapologetically raw, taking each listener on a veritable journey of discovery.
At the heart of it all is Chicken Town Records, Eliezer’s no-frills, high-voltage label built for a disobedient and messed-up generation. Blending global classic acid house and leftfield electronica, alongside indie dance, dirty disco, and a modern punk spirit, it’s a resilient haven for outsider rhythms and rebellious minds. As the movement grows, Eliezer continues to define the sound of modern underground, where good music meets memorable times, and the rules are continually broken. This openly informs his own branded events and highlights why they are fast becoming a staple.
With a global following spanning the U.S., Mexico, South America, the UK, Europe, and Asia, Eliezer has consistently delivered his sound to some of the most respected venues across the world. His appearances include House of Yes (NYC) and Floyd (Miami) in the USA; The Block, Pasaz, Alphabet, Slippers, Breakfast, and Shalvata in Israel; MN Roy, Zamanic, Confusion Festival, Funk Club, Bar Oriente, and Futuro Primitivo in Mexico; Sisyphos, Kit Kat, and Golden Gate in Germany; Silencio, La Dame Noir Dancing Festival, Petit Palace, and Garage in France; and Audio Club in London.
Along the way, he has shared stages with forward-thinking artists that include Apparat, WhoMadeWho, Ivan Smagghe, Rebolledo, Marcus Worgull, Andy Butler, and many more. Eliezer’s Summer 2025 tour took him through Romania, Ibiza, London, Marseille, Paris, and Tel Aviv throughout June and July, before heading back to the U.S. to continue his local residencies.
Equal parts selector, producer, and underground agitator, Eliezer moves with a punk soul and a global perspective. Whether curating art-soaked parties or dropping raw, nu-wave rave tracks, he consistently pushes boundaries, shaping scenes into deeper, more unpredictable territory. His ethos is clear: disrupt the standard, and trust the instinct. A sharp reminder of why he’s one of the most vital underground forces today, poised to break through.
‘Chicken Town’ marks the next chapter in Eliezer’s growing discography, delivering his untamed electronics and arriving alongside three upcoming Chicken Town events across New York City. Designed to ignite both intimate underground spaces and global dancefloors, the release shows Eliezer continuing to push boundaries and carve his own path in electronic music.

GTA VI to feature dedicated dance and electronic radio stations as Rockstar reveals its biggest in-game radio selection yet
For more than two decades, Rockstar Games has used radio to give Grand Theft Auto its own musical identity, from Flash FM in Vice City to Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM and Radio Mirror Park in GTA V. Grand Theft Auto VI will expand that tradition with the biggest and widest-ranging in-game radio selection in the series so far. Dance and electronic music will each have dedicated stations, alongside classic rock, modern hip-hop, pop, metal, Latin, ’80s, blues and ballads. Talk radio and podcasts will form part of the wider selection too.

Dance And Electronic Music Get Dedicated Stations
Electronic music already has a strong presence across the series. Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM, Worldwide FM and The Music Locker Radio have covered house, techno, experimental electronic music and underground club sounds. GTA VI will now give dance and electronic music their own stations, opening the door for a broader range of styles across the game.
Rockstar Games has not yet announced the station names, hosts or tracklists, leaving plenty unknown about how the two will differ musically. One could focus more heavily on house, club and dancefloor records. The other could cover a wider range of electronic sounds, although Rockstar Games has not confirmed those details.
Electronic Music Has Long Been Part Of GTA
Electronic music has also played a larger role across GTA beyond its radio stations, particularly through GTA Online. Keinemusik, Palms Trax and Moodymann have all performed at The Music Locker, while Joy Orbison hosted Still Slipping Los Santos. Updates to FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM also expanded the electronic music available inside the game.
In 2021, Rockstar Games expanded that connection by partnering with CircoLoco to launch CircoLoco Records. The label has since released music from Rampa, Moodymann, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Tale Of Us. Its catalogue also includes Sama’ Abdulhadi, DJ Tennis and Kerri Chandler. More recently, 2026 releases have involved Michael Bibi, KETTAMA, ANOTR, Prospa, Cloonee and Jimi Jules.
GTA VI Is Expanding Its Music Offering
Alongside the in-game radio, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will add another major music component to the game. The official 34-track soundtrack includes artists across several genres and extends the musical scope of GTA VI beyond the stations heard while exploring Vice City and Leonida.
Electronic music is represented there too, with Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy among the artists involved. Other names include PinkPantheress, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin and Travis Scott. Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro and Keith Richards also feature.
More GTA VI Radio Stations Are Still To Be Revealed
Rockstar Games has already previewed Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. However, the company has yet to announce the names of the dedicated dance and electronic stations. Their hosts and full tracklists also remain under wraps.
With Grand Theft Auto VI set to be released on November 19, 2026, more details about its electronic music selection are still expected. DJs, club culture, specialist stations and CircoLoco Records have already become part of Rockstar Games’ wider music world. Now, GTA VI’s dedicated dance and electronic stations could add another chapter to that history.

deadmau5 takes over Red Rocks for Halloween on October 30 and 31 with two special shows and the return of mau5hop
For more than 15 years, deadmau5 has returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre each fall, with the Colorado venue becoming a regular part of his seasonal live shows. This year, that tradition reaches a new point as he performs at Red Rocks on Halloween itself for the first time, with DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN taking place on October 30 and 31. The two-night event will feature VOWWS, joined by Josh Freese and Danny Lohner, alongside special visuals, selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. The weekend will also include the return of the mau5hop pop-up in Denver, with exclusive merchandise, collectibles and meet-and-greet sessions across both days.
VOWWS Joins deadmau5 For The Halloween Shows
VOWWS will join deadmau5 across the two nights, with Josh Freese and Danny Lohner also part of the performance. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based duo of Matt James and Rizz have long worked across darker alternative and electronic sounds, with previous collaborations involving Gary Numan, Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe.
Josh Freese, whose credits include A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals, also appears on VOWWS’ latest album I’ll Fill Your House With An Army. Danny Lohner, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Black Queen, will join the duo at Red Rocks as part of the expanded live lineup.
What deadmau5 Has Planned For Halloween
The October 30 and 31 shows will feature special Halloween visuals alongside selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. Attendees are also being encouraged to come in costume across both nights.
The shows add a new chapter to deadmau5’s long history at Red Rocks, where his fall appearances have become a regular fixture over more than 15 years. He was back at the venue in 2025 for Day of the Dead, where he debuted new music and parts of a new touring production.
That period has continued into 2026 with ‘Science’ featuring Stevie Appleton, his first vocal single since ‘My Heart Has Teeth’. The track later reached No. 1 on US Dance Radio and also entered Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay and Canada CHR/Top 40.
mau5hop Returns For Halloween Weekend
The Halloween weekend will also include the return of mau5hop in Denver, opening on October 30 and 31 at 95 S Cherokee Street. The pop-up will run from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM each day with specialty merchandise, limited-edition apparel, pins and collectibles not available online or at the shows.
deadmau5 and friends are also due to appear for meet-and-greets and signings from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM on both days.
With the Red Rocks shows and mau5hop both returning across Halloween weekend, this year’s edition adds more around a tradition that has already become closely tied to deadmau5 and the venue. The biggest difference in 2026 is simple: for the first time, one of those shows will actually fall on Halloween night.
With VOWWS, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner joining the shows, new music expected and mau5hop returning to Denver, DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN has plenty planned across the weekend. Limited tickets remain for both nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with more from deadmau5 also expected in the months ahead.
