  • Wings Over Wires is a pivotal moment where club culture intersects with survival. Tunisian producer Hmenou contributes 'Shala Yousheel' to the 13 track project, reshaping the viral recording of Palestinian children singing beneath drones into a focused, defiant piece of bass music. 

The compilation supports @gazabirdssinging the music school founded by Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha, who has kept teaching displaced children through repeated evacuations and loss. 

Wings Without Wires channels raw voices, field reality and regional sonic lineage into rhythm rather than rupture, turning the sounds of fear into structure and movement.

100% of all revenues will be donated to Gaza Birds Singing
  • Boiler Room: new staff layoffs due to the continuing campaign of protests?

Many observers predict that Boiler Room’s place in club culture is no longer secure. 

Once positioning itself as the pulse of global club culture, today’s Boiler Room’s layoffs look more like a brand fighting for oxygen.

Boiler Room is under fire – not just for today’s layoffs but for who owns it. In 2025, the platform was acquired by Superstruct Entertainment, which in turn is majority‑owned by private‑equity giant KKR. That move ignited a grassroots boycott driven by politically engaged dance‑music communities, including #Raversforpalestine and @boycottroom who argued Boiler Room is now complicit in KKR’s investments tied to the Israeli war.

On November 24, 2025 – Boiler Room told employees that “changes to the structure of the business” would leave a number of roles at risk. Sources say several of the cut positions are held by highly experienced staff. A company‑wide meeting was planned for today. Amidst this, the layoffs serve as a blunt reminder that the brand is recalibrating – but it’s unclear if that’s toward minimising losses, reducing exposure, or shifting strategy.
