Decentral Games and Amnesia Ibiza Partner to Stage a Mind-Blowing Metaverse DJ Event

On 9 October, DJ Benny Benassi, Paul van Dyk and Luciano share the stage at Decentral Games’ SuperClub, the world’s first immersive 3D metaverse experience of its kind on the blockchain.

Benassi says DG’s metaverse platform is “a new, pioneering way to bring music to people.”

Covid-19 or not, technology has come to transform our lives in ways we would not have imagined two years ago. Combine that with the metaverse built on the revolutionary technology that is blockchain and we now have a recipe for disruption in almost all areas of how we interact today, no matter who we are or where we are. Forbes contributor Carol Hackl, a tech futurist and metaverse expert speaker, recently said in an article that the future of "live events are starting in the metaverse."

Italian DJ Benny Benassi agrees. “It’s a new, pioneering way to bring music to people,” he said in a very brief exclusive interview on his participation in the immersive DJ metaverse event powered by Decentral Games in partnership with Amnesia Ibiza.

Prophetically, US novelist Neal Stephenson coined the word metaverse 25 years ago in his mind-blowing novel "Snow Crash." The New York Times best-selling writer is known for his speculative fiction novels, in which he explores mathematics, cryptography, linguistics, philosophy, currency, and the history of science.

A quarter of a century later, Decentral Games (DG), a game-changer in the crypto and blockchain entertainment space, has taken the lead in the world of metaverse. And today, Decentral Games has also become a globally recognized key player in the architecture of immersive metaverse environments.

So, it’s no surprise that Amnesia Ibiza, one of the most globally renowned nightclubs, has partnered in a world’s first with the internationally known play-to-earn crypto and blockchain gaming and entertainment powerhouse, for a historical event that brings together some of the best DJs from around the globe.

On October 9th, 2021, DG and Amnesia, a four-time Best Global Club winner, will proudly virtually present Grammy-winning DJ Benny Benassi and the legendary Paul van Dyk, one of the first globally renowned DJs and the first to receive a Grammy Award nomination in the newly added category of Best Dance/Electronic album for his 2003 release Reflections. Also taking center stage will be Luciano, a DJ, and producer who received the DJ Awards on five occasions while nominated ten other times.

Other of the most popular and prominent DJs are expected to be confirmed in the coming days. During the event, DG and Amnesia will embark you on a futuristic journey from the comfort of your home during which you will interact through technology with thousands of like-minded people while experiencing a life-changing immersive 3D music event powered by Decentral Games.

DG continues to expand the value proposition of its immersive metaverse environments with the launch of its virtual nightclub venue in partnership with Amnesia Ibiza, the world-renowned nightclub brand. "Decentral Games and Amnesia's joint nightclub venture will usher in a new era of memorable metaverse concert experiences powered by the Decentral Games platform," said Miles Anthony, CEO, and Founder of the play-to-earn metaverse gaming platform.

Decentral Games has recently secured partnerships, funding, and investments from Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Decentraland, among other prominent blockchain firms. When the world shut down in 2020, the festival and concert events sector was among the hardest-hit industries as artists stopped touring for over a year. In that time, the technological landscape shifted dramatically to meet the demand, embracing virtual and Livestream-based events in more significant numbers than ever before.

"The Decentral Games nightclub experience has provided the flexibility to attend immersive 3D live music events from anywhere worldwide with the artists they love while maintaining the feelings of immersion and interpersonal connection associated with real-world experiences," said Mr. Anthony.

With the ability to navigate captivating environments and socialize with music enthusiasts from all corners of the world in avatar form, Decentral Games’ SuperClub represents next-level sophistication when it comes to delivering community-building products shaping the next generation of global entertainment. For $DG investors, SuperClub is a new revenue-generating opportunity that will fortify Decentral Games' already lucrative and cash flow positive position.

The possibilities include incremental advertising revenue generated through brand partnerships and sales. It also enables proceeds generated via the production of exclusive co-branded NFTs of the world's most popular musical artists. Also, profit sharing from third-party product and merchandise sales. "Artists such as Dillon Francis, who currently has an over five-million-strong audience on Spotify alone, have performed live on Decentral Games this year," added Mr. Anthony. "They view our Decentral Games platform as an opportunity to not only engage but expand their global audience."

Amnesia is based in Ibiza, a region known for its world-class nightlife offerings. The top global nightclub is a leader in curating memorable experiences and a dominant player in the famous club circuit. Amnesia has consistently been present amongst DG Mag's top ten nightclubs and is a favorite among Ibiza's 7 million annual tourists. "Bringing this ambitious vision to life would not have been possible without the support of our event host (Djenerates), launch partners, Binance Smart Chain, Coingecko, Polygon, Decentraland and Theta Network," said Mr. Anthony. "The Decentral Games team also thanks to our special media partners EDM.com, 8btc, and Chainnews for making this new global impact event happen."
