Jonathan Terrell has always chased horizons—whether strumming under the wide Texas sky or testing the limits of lonely, dust-blown soundscapes. But with his new single “MONA,” out May 27 on all platforms, he’s left the familiar behind and set his sights on a whole new kind of frontier: the western desert disco of your dreams. The track is an ode to his beloved, Detroit-built 1979 Ford Ranchero—nicknamed Mona—a chrome-lined time capsule that carries him from sun-baked highways into neon-lit nightclubs.

Scotland’s unstoppable funk-soul juggernaut Tom McGuire & the Brassholes return this spring with their most personal and potent release to date.

Germany’s premier club music festival and the world’s ninth-ranked festival according to DJ Mag UK, BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME, is poised to launch into uncharted territory with its ambitious Moon Edition.

Husband-and-wife duo Stephen and Jana Mougin today celebrate the release of their long-lost recording “The Wire,” a sprightly, grass-driven arrangement that first took shape in the early 2000s. Unearthed from the archives of their unfinished duo album, the track captures the couple’s harmony—both musically and personally—swapping verse lines with buoyant interplay on guitar, mandolin, and dual vocals.

The last day at any festival is always bittersweet. Fans have figured out the ropes and finally feel at home, despite having to pack up and leave after the music ends. Viva El Gonzo was no exception, however the incredibly inspired performances eased the transition back into normalcy. This included an absolute raging set by festival host Goose that featured no guests or covers.
