Ziggy Ziggy Live in LA
We firmly believe that a new generation of music is emerging in Web3.
However… we need to show the world the cool shit happening here.
So we decided to invite three rising stars to film and record live DJ sets in LA… and put it onchain.
We think it’s the best way to introduce the Web3 music scene to a bigger audience and give collectors a completely new type of live music collectible.
The audio tracks are out today, limited to 100 editions each.
Drop details - Friday July 7
Daniel Allan - 11am PST on Sound.xyz
Beachcrimes - 1pm PST
Bloody White - 3pm PST
Full video - TBC shortly afterwards.
REWARDS: The golden egg winners will get the first run of Ziggy Ziggy sunglasses (UK, Europe and US delivery only).
BONUS: Ziggy Ziggy Season 1 NFT holders get discount presale access.
In the spirit of celebrating the underground music scene this week, here are 5 more music drops from the independent sector.
2. Iman Europe - Moneymorphosis
Moneymorphosis by Iman Europe is probably one of the most important music drops of the year.
A four-track EP
Unique reveal experience
100 limited editions
Iman is a formative part of the Web3 music culture. She was one of the earliest artists to release music on Sound, and this week she returned with a mysterious teaser full of soulful hip hop. Only 100 editions are available.
The teaser is a prelude to a 4-track EP. If you buy one of the 100 teaser editions, you’ll be airdropped the full EP. The whole project is released in partnership with LNRZ — a leading web3 music collective / label founded by rapper Reo Cragun.
Every week we bring you the music and strategies from Lens Protocol — the Web3 social layer where a thriving music community is growing.
We’ve been using Lens Protocol as a key part of our music rollouts with Ziggy Ziggy and the artists we work with. This week we dropped the trailer to our LA Live project on Lenstube — the Lens equivalent of YouTube.
The beauty of the Lens ecosystem is that the video automatically populates to all our followers across different Lens apps. When we post on Lenstube, we instantly reach our audience on Lenster and Orb (mobile app). It’s like posting on YouTube and automatically reaching your followers on Instagram.
3. Angelbaby - black hole (with TK)
Virtual superstar Angelbaby is back with a new record featuring TK. It’s a classic Angelbaby anthem with a huge singalong chorus, paired with TK’s soulful verses.
4. Tropix - For the Weekend
Tropix is a Web3 native DJ and producer with an ambitious music rollout this week. Fans can purchase a merch box that will include a music NFT claim. He also created a custom metaverse experience in partnership with OnCyber including live DJ performances. Love to see a music rollout that utilizes all aspects of Web3 tech.
5. 32 ETH ($60k) for a music NFT?
Latin artist Xcelencia is experimenting with a new concept in Web3 music, setting a bid price of 32 ETH on his latest teaser on Catalog. The buyer will get an executive producer role on his upcoming album — a novel way of raising funds for an album without giving up rights to his masters.
Thanks for reading!
We believe a new generation of independent music will be born out of Web3 culture. Discover the best music here first. Follow us on Twitter where we share the best music every day.
