Jumping from K-pop to heavy metal to 80s electro to 2010s pop without missing a beat, his set was pure unpredictable energy. His story is incredibly inspiring: After being diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2016, he left his construction job the same day to pursue music full-time. Since then, he's played Berghain, Ultra, and now Coachella. Do LaB Safety Incident During John Summit's Friday night set at the Do LaB, a heavy lighting fixture fell from the stage due to strong winds, injuring an attendee and forcing the stage to close for the evening. Anyma's late-night set was also cancelled due to the weather conditions. Anyma's Redemption After the Friday cancellation, Anyma returned to close out the Do LaB stage with Marlon Hoffstadt, transforming his setback into one of the weekend's most talked-about moments. Other Highlights Justin Bieber made his comeback with a creative and brave performance at Coachella. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out!

Story #5: Dance Music Goes to Space - "Sleepyhead" Wakes Up Artemis II AstronautsNASA shared the official wake-up playlist used by the Artemis II crew during their historic nine-day lunar flyby mission. The first song? Young & Sick's dance remix of Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" - the luminous 2008 indietronica anthem. The wake-up playlist is a NASA tradition dating back to the Apollo program. Other tracks included Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure," Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club," and Glass Animals' "Tokyo Drifting." Adam's Take: While the space exploration is impressive, he questions whether we should focus more on fixing Earth before building on the moon. His philosophy: "Keep off the grass, no buildings on the moon."

Story #7: Detroit Techno Museum Pushes ForwardThe Museum of Detroit Electronic Music (MODEM) is still happening despite setbacks. Originally planned as part of the $50 million Packard Park development at the legendary abandoned factory where underground techno parties helped birth the genre, the project hit a snag when the Detroit mayor halted the overall development. But founder Adriel Thornton isn't backing down: "The city hasn't canceled the museum. They can't. This is ours." Conceived in 2020 and inspired by Exhibit 3000 (a collection of Detroit techno artifacts), the museum aims to preserve techno history and will also recognize hip-hop icons like J. Dilla and Eminem.
