Underground Resistance accuse Armin van Buuren of plagiarism
Renowned Detroit techno group Underground Resistance, famous for their anti-mainstream image, recently accused Armin van Buuren of copying their logo for his latest residency at Hï Ibiza, ‘U R.’
The group voiced their displeasure in emphatic fashion through their social media account, stating “Is there no shame? What happened to electronic creativity? What the fuck is it all about the money?? To ‘those who know’ MOVE TO CONDITION RED!! To those who steal culture, you have been warned.”
Label manager Cornelius Harris had some choice words for the situation as well. “There’s no excuse for this,” he says. “It’s lazy and irresponsible of the artist AND promoter. I’m all for folks having fun regardless of the style of music, but that can be done without trying to exploit the years of work that another artist has put in for your own benefit. Van Buuren offers no explanation for it, simply calling U R ‘my new concept’ and leaving it at that. Sorry man, no fucking way.”
Armin van Buuren spoke to FACT about the accusation of plagiarism, claiming to be unaware of any similarities between the two logos. He notes that, while he intends to continue using the “U R” residency name, he will be adjusting its symbol.
Read van Buuren’s full statement below:
“I would like to start off by saying how unfortunate and unpleasant this situation is for everyone involved. My team, the team of Hï/Ushuaïa and myself were not aware of the similarities between our logo and the logo of Underground Resistance.
“Originally, UR – the name of the new event through which I’ll perform in Ibiza every week – is derived from Universal Religion, an older but nonetheless known Armin van Buuren concept. The logo, which consists of a custom-made font and frame, was designed to conform with the Armin van Buuren brand.
“After careful deliberation, my team, the team of Hï/Ushuaïa and myself have decided to keep the name UR as it is and adjust the symbol. I trust that media, fans and Underground Resistance will be able to understand this decision.”

The upcoming single ‘Hallucinate‘ is her self-written tribute to ‘half-relationships’ and the struggle of getting over losing someone you never really had in the first place. The fizzy pop anthem, out May 21st, is the first original collaboration between Gabriela and LA-based producer Geo. Since the conception of ‘Hallucinate,’ the pair have gone on to write the rest of Gabriela‘s EP, set to release in late summer.
Though her pastel pink pixie-cut is new, Gabriela‘s dedication to soaring, bespoke melodies and personal lyrics remains as consistent as it’s always been. The new single marries her undeniable skill for lyrical storytelling with a topline that highlights all the sweet spots of her clean and acrobatic voice. Her new whimsical pop sound is inspired by her love of anime and 80’s nostalgia, and is reminiscent of MØ, Ellie Goulding and Kehlani.
A native Chicagoan raised in a Mexican-American family, Gabriela Francesca Carrillo goes by her first and middle name as an artist-songwriter living and working in Los Angeles. Her past releases have gained her ranks on Spotify’s Hipnotrix and Fresh Finds playlists and performances on stages like the Resident in Los Angeles, C3 Rooftop in Guadalajara, MX and the Roman Arena in Bucharest, Romania.

ilan Bluestone ft. Giuseppe De Luca “Frozen Ground” Music Video
The first single to be taken from his forthcoming debut artist album, “Frozen Ground” reunites ilan Bluestone with British singer / songwriter Giuseppe De Luca. Since joining Anjunabeats in 2011, ilan has been at the forefront of the evolving trance sound. With an ear for hooky instrumentals, organic chords and dance floor minded productions, the likes of “Big Ben,” “Spheres” and “43” became euphoric moments in DJ sets for acts such as Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren.
Download “Frozen Ground”
A prolific touring artist, ilan has headlined the Anjunabeats North American tour in 2016 and 2017 as well as joining Above & Beyond at Madison Square Garden and Sydney’s All Phones Arena.
The follow up to ilan and Giuseppe’s breakout hit “Bigger Than Love”, “Frozen Ground” was debuted during Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 200 show in a sold out 13,000 capacity Ziggo Dome.
For Giuseppe, inspiration for the song came after he joined ilan on stage at EDC, “There’s something about witnessing a sea of people gathered together to feel something that really helps to warp the borders of reality. I had this Brechtian idea of a specific sound, that when heard, would snap the listener out of their everyday veneer and allow them to connect with who they truly are. On Frozen Ground, I feel that sound, forever.”
