Rebecca Black will be pulling late-night duty at Coachella

A trio of festival afterparties will take place during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, with the 24-year-old half-Mexican American singer set to serve as one of the hosts..

Rebecca BlackTaking place each night of the first weekend of Coachella, April 15-17, the events are being produced by L.A.-based promoter Framework and will be hosted by Los Angeles’ revered A Club Called Rhonda, the Wynn Hotel’s ongoing Art of the Wild fête and Palm Springs’ recently launched Desert Air festival.

Friday night’s Rhonda show will be hosted by Black, along with Brazilian star Pabllo Vittar, with sets from Jayda G, SG Lewis, Purple Disco Machine and Rhonda’s longstanding residents Goddollars and Paradise.

On Saturday, Desert Air — which hosted its first-ever festival this past December in Palm Springs, Calif. — will feature Black Coffee playing back to back with The Martinez Brothers along with Peggy Gou and SOHMI, a Billboard pick for dance artists to watch this year.

And on Sunday, you can see Damian Lazarus b2b with Michael Bibi, Bedouin, Dixon and Layla Benitez playing at Art of the Wild.

All three events will happen at the Ross Aviation Thermal Airport in Thermal, Calif., roughly 15 minutes from the festival site in Indio. (This site is the former home of the once-buzzy, celebrity-laden Coachella afterparty Neon Carnival.)

Many of the artists playing this party trifecta are also playing Coachella itself, with the festival once again hosting the who’s who of dance music across multiple stages.

The Martinez Brothers Team Up with Seth Troxler for Slinky New Single “Play In The Dark”

The Martinez Brothers are playing in the dark

Chris Martinez and Steven Martinez, the Latino sibling duo of disc jockeys, music producers, and remixers, have teamed up with Seth Troxler for the first time in seven years with the dark, slinky and fairly weird “Play In The Dark.”

The Martinez Brothers

Out on Damian LazarusCrosstown Rebels imprint, the track is outfitted with a hypnotic synth and the sound of morse code, over which Troxler plays ringmaster with lyrics about seeing you at the club that are dually compelling and strange.

The vocals persist as the production gets fuzzier and more chaotic — more or less just like a real night out at the club.

This is The Martinez Brothers’ debut on Crosstown Rebels and Troxler’s first release in awhile, with the track kicking off a series of new tracks from Troxler to be released throughout 2021.
