It’s been a while since we last wrote about Julius Horsthuis, a visual effects artist who authored a series of fractal 360 videos for VR which are simply mind-blowing—both now and back in the good ol’ days of the Oculus Rift DK2 when we first experienced them. Now the Dutch artist announced a new album […]
Fortnite is more than just a game: it’s a cultural phenomenon. That’s why we barely bat an eyelid these days when Epic Games cooks up something impressively cool, like its Soundwave Series, which is designed to promote (or, for the cynics among you, advertise) new musical talent. And following a successful run last year, it’ll return on 21st January with Australian artist Tones and I.
For those not familiar, the singer had a pretty big hit with Dance Monkey a couple of years back, which you’ve almost certainly heard at some point. With her debut album Welcome to the Madhouse out now, she’ll be showcasing songs within the Battle Royale from 11PM UK time. You’ll have 72-hours to join the event from a tab on the main menu, and will even receive a Spray for participating.

Blockchain in the music industry MoonwalkerFM is one of the first record labels to give out royalty-based NFT's. This new phenomenon is one of the latest developments in the blockchain and NFT space, adding another use case for the decentralized technology. So far, the traditional music industry has had a handful of artists releasing individual songs and handing out NFT's, which are essentially certificates for royalty ownership. For example, artists like 3LAU, rapper Nas, and The Chainsmokers have been or are about to launch songs with royalty-based NFT's.
MoonwalkerFM will fully function on this new structure, giving fans and listeners a unique opportunity to participate in the success of the record label. And now with “Season 1” set to launch on April 1st (no joke!), MoonwalkerFM NFT holders can start earning passive income!
Season 1 For the launch of “Season 1”, a total of 100 NFT's will be linked to 50 lofi hip-hop songs, equating to two NFT's per song. Among the two NFT's, the one that has the more rare traits will be deemed ‘rare', and NFTs with the less rare qualities will be deemed ‘non-rare.' This rating process incentivizes holders to hold rare NFT's rather than common ones. Once an NFT is linked to a song, users will receive passive monthly rewards based on the song's success. Rare NFT's that are linked will receive 30% rewards, while common NFT's will receive 15% rewards.
Public Sale on April 1st The public sale for MoonwalkerFM will be on April 1st. This first collection consists of 1,500 NFT's. So far, more than 33% of the NFT's have been sold in presale, leaving less than 1,000 NFT's left for music fans to scoop up. Once the public sale is live, users must connect their Metamask wallet to the MoonwalkerFM website and hit the mint button.
About MoonwalkerFM MoonwalkerFM is a progressive and dynamic project and uses the already established NFT formula and takes it to new heights with a real, functioning utility that connects a song to an NFT.
This project will see investors gaining from two sources of rewards (song stream rewards and NFT value), and music artists from all over the world will see their song championed by large communities eager to see it thrive.
This project comes at a time when the music industry is in desperate need of change. Not only have artists been drastically affected by the pandemic, but their opportunities to make decent revenue are slim and scarce. MoonwalkerFM is the start of a direct line of communication from fan to artist — one in which both parties benefit.
