Heard of Tinnitus? It’s that constant buzzing in your ears after a night at the club. Caused by exposure to high volumes of sound of 80dB or more for prolonged periods of time, Tinnitus is a permanent condition.  The good news is that it’s totally preventable.

Alpine Hearing Protection have partnered up with Watch The Hype in a bid to prevent and protect club-goers from Tinnitus with a campaign called All Ears. Supporting them is the British Tinnitus Association along with some of the UK’s top electronic music venues.

They have dedicated an entire website offering advice and raising awareness about Tinnitus. Some of the industry’s DJ’s and Producers have shared personal stories of battling with Tinnitus – found under the ‘Your Stories’ tab – which includes interviews with Container Records founder Jack Christie, DJ Resom and producer/DJ Nachtbraker.

In addition to raising awareness, the Alpine PartyPlug has been introduced. Designed specifically for clubbers, it’s a set of high-fidelity earplugs that promises to maintain the quality of original sound by using special filters to protect your ears.

Over the next few months the PartyPlug hearing protectors will be available to purchase at a number of chosen venues at a discounted price. Confirmed launch dates includes Corsica Studios, Oval Space, The Pickle Factory and Village Underground – who are running a competition on their Facebook page. One of the prizes is two sets of PartyPlug hearing protectors.

You can purchase the PartyPlug earplugs via the website. Sharing your personal story can also get you a free pair if published. You have no reason not to get your party on.

Rocking stages and winning DJ competitions since the age of 15, Paris & Simo they first made their mark after winning the remix contest for Tiësto’s “Work Hard Play Hard” single in 2011. They have since worked with some of the industry’s biggest names, touring Canada with David Guetta in 2014.

The electro duo released the feel good track featuring vocalist Karen Harding late August 2017. The track promotes self-love and being who you are without the fear of judgment. Karen Harding emphasises the empowering lyrics with strong vocals. The groovy vibe makes one want to let loose as suggested by the words. It’s sure to be a ‘listen-to-anywhere, anytime track’.

Paris and Simo had the following to say about the track: “We firmly believe that everyone should have freedom of expression without being judged to share their ideas. This is a feel good track which exudes those positive vibes.”

Let go of your prohibitions, be free and dance like nobody’s watching. Just “come as you are” and have a listen.

Kaixen has just shared his new single ‘Brand New” featuring Floridan singer Twelve’Len’ via Lush Records head of the release of his upcoming LP, Pecado on 13 October.

The Miami-born multi-instrumentalist has already been turning heads, with favourable support from tastemaker publications such as Clash Magazine, The Fader and Run The Trap.
He has also shared stages with the likes of Crywolf, Sango and Tim Gunter, opened for Joan Jett and Two Door Cinema Club, and performed on the main stage at this years III Points Music Festival and Okeechobee Music Festival.

‘Brand New’ is reminiscent of a hopeful encounter with someone new. Inspiring passion filters through the uplifting backbeat, while the counter melodies embellish every word. Using space and separation of the elements, KAIXEN blends an 80’s sound with a current Downtempo beat, while Twelve’Len’s vocals flow through the track like a wave moving the concept of the song forward.

“‘Brand New’ was inspired by that  fantasy feeling of being with someone new. That feeling when you hit it off with a person and you’re just excited to see where that relationship is going to. I guess you could say the honeymoon phase?” he says.

Listen to ‘Brand New ft. Twelve’Len and find it on Spotify.
