Offset is getting all the way into the spooky season with a brand-new mixtape. Today, he released Haunted By Fame, just two months after his new album, Kiari. While that album contained soulful features from the likes of artists such as John Legend and JID, this tape is much more on-theme with the holiday, and employs colorful characters like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, NoCap, and Lil Dump (I promise I did not make that name up, it’s on the tracklist).
The project is accompanied by a music video for the focus track, “Ya Digg,” which you can watch up top. While it doesn’t go hard on pumpkins, skeletons, or other such Halloweeny tropes, it does have a thumping horror trap instrumental, and ‘Set dons a live python as a necklace. That’s sure to frighten someone. With most of the album focused on boasts about money, clothes, cars, and Offset’s penchant for partying, it may end up being a fan-favorite, and considered a return to form for the once hedonistic hero.
Offset is currently on tour with NBA YoungBoy, with seven dates remaining in November. You can see those below, along with the tracklist for Haunted By Fame.

Sweating in a sauna to a live DJ set. Drifting along a rooftop pool during a full moon floating party. Enjoying a “sacred nap” soundtracked by binaural beats. The next era of wellness travel is following a very different tempo – literally. Forget silent meditations and cucumber water, some of the world’s most cutting-edge luxury retreats are crafting immersive experiences designed to pulse, vibrate, and move their guests. They’re swapping clichés for gong baths, vibroacoustic therapy, and ecstatic forest dances, blending indulgence, escapism, and a higher-frequency form of self-care.
And it turns out, there’s science behind the spectacle. Music has been shown to lower stress and anxiety, improve mood, enhance cognitive function, and even boost sleep quality. When paired with movement, meditation, or immersive travel experiences, these sonic interventions amplify those already-proven benefits, turning what might feel like new age gimmicks into measurable wellness tools. Across the globe, from Bali to Costa Rica, Miami, Mexico, and the Maldives, retreats are reimagining what it means to reset, and they’re doing it to the tune of multi-sensory journeys that find the perfect rhythm between mind, body, and soul. Here are just a few worth the travel time.
Ambiente, Sedona, Arizona
Ambiente Sedona
Sedona’s Ambiente is what happens when desert zen meets sci-fi wellness. The retreat’s “Sound Journeys” skip the sleepy sound bath routine for something way more immersive — think hand-hammered bowls placed on your body, massages that morph into full-on sonic therapy, and a private Dark Sky Lounge where you can recline on a vibroacoustic bed that literally plays frequencies through your bones. It’s equal parts spa day and spaceship, perfect for travelers who want their healing with a side of high-tech weirdness (and maybe a killer view of the Milky Way).
Four Seasons Resorts, Bali, Indonesia
Four Season Bali
Would you go all the way to Bali to take a nap? If it was this good, maybe. At the Four Seasons Resort, guests drift in aerial silk hammocks above the Sayan Valley, cocooned in chanting, crystal bowls, and the sounds of nature — all in pursuit of the perfect power nap. The resort even released a full album, The Sacred Nap, after guests demanded a way to bring the sonic serenity back home with them. But, if it’s recharging and not resting you’re after, the waterfront sister resort in Jimbaran Bay dials things up with a futuristic surround sound spa suite designed to energize you on a cellular level. The resort’s Illume Room combines science-backed light, color, and sound therapies with more traditional treatments like heated quartz-sand beds to rewire your electromagnetic field – leaving you balanced, buzzing, and more than a little blissed out.
RAKxa Wellness Retreat, Bangkok, Thailand
RAKxa Wellness Retreat
RAKxa Wellness Retreat turns biohacking into an art form. Set on 63 rewilded acres outside Bangkok, this high-tech haven blends data-driven medical diagnostics with ancient rituals – then wraps it all up in a luxurious terry cloth robe. You might get your chakras tuned with singing bowls, float through a sound-soaked water meditation, or dance it out in a cryo-sauna, all before enjoying an essential-oil massage designed to hack your sleep cycle. Every detail – down to the binaural-beat playlists designed to lull you into the most peaceful snooze of your life – is optimized for your vibe. It’s the ultimate in lo-fi luxury wellness.
Schloss Elmau, Bavarian Alps, Germany
Schloss Elmau
Nestled deep in the Bavarian Alps, Schloss Elmau isn’t your average velvet‑rope getaway – it’s a high‑luxury wellness resort where spa treatments fill up the day and a 100-piece orchestra soundtracks your evenings. From floating in heated saltwater pools to rebalance your body, to deep‑acting Alpine moor massages and traditional Oriental Hamam rituals, the resort’s spa blends high-end techniques with nature‑inspired and culturally rooted therapies. But it’s the night-time festivities that truly set its program apart. With a 300‑seat concert hall on‑site and more than 200 performances each year spanning classical, jazz, pop and world music, the resort elevates its cutting-edge treatments by pairing them with high-art experiences.
Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, Miami, Florida
Carillion Miami
Carillon Miami isn’t just a spa — it’s a sonic playground. Your day might start on a vibroacoustic Spa Wave table, float into an underwater music meditation, or end grooving at a sunset DJ‑led ecstatic dance. Add immersive light pods, chakra-tuned frequencies, and infrared sound therapies, and you’ve got a retreat where every sense is hacked for balance, bliss, and pure fun. It’s tech-forward, playful, and serious about results — a must for travelers who want their wellness as unique and tailored as their playlists.
“Hundred Acres” may have been the name of the woods behind Christopher Robin’s house where he played with Pooh and the gang, but Noname has a decidedly less whimsical theme in mind for her comeback single. The poetic Chicago rapper is thinking more “40 acres and…” in her first new song since 2023’s Sundial, focusing on getting hers.
“I know somebody better give me my cheese,” she intones. “Or I’ma have to get mine from these streets / I gotta look out for me.”
Funnily enough, I heard the first inklings of what this song would be last year while attending the Radical Hood Library‘s monthly open mic (where I also heard a prototypical version of Saba’s “Head.Rap“). Then, there was no musical accompaniment; in the completed version, Noname adopts a militant stance, employing a different kind of sound than we’ve heard from her before.
Whereas on prior output, she was fond of dreamy instrumentation full of bright chords and subtle percussion, here, she gets down to business over a threatening piano loop that evokes old-school rap and black leather jackets with AKs. In the video, Noname rides her bike down a suburban alleyway, pursued by a cat-like character whose shady demeanor implies he’s up to no good. However, she turns the tables, adopting her own animalistic persona to engage in a half-duel, half-dance sequence that sees her make a clean getaway, a la Tweety bird.
In addition to being Noname’s big comeback, the “Hundred Acres” video is also her first in which she appears on camera, further implying that her next full-length will be on a completely different wavelength.
You can watch Noname’s “Hundred Acres” video above.
Julia Wolf released a new album, Pressure, earlier this year, but she’s not done with the project yet: Out of nowhere today (October 31), Wolf surprise-released 2MUCHPRESSURE, a new remix EP, led by producer duo 2DUMB, that re-works seven songs from the original album.
In a statement, Wolf says of the EP, “When I first heard the remix 2DUMB did on tiktok, I immediately knew I needed them to make more remixes! And to be able to get two of my favorite artists BBY GOYARD and cr1tter on was an even better bonus!”
She previously said of the original album, “I wasn’t feeling seen or accepted. So I wanted this album to really express the emotions that came with that: the soft doubt, the lack of confidence, the comparing myself to literally everyone that breathes. This was my chance to really lay it all out and be the most honest I’ve ever been.”
Listen to “Kill You Off (2DUMB remix Feat. BBY GOYARD)” above and find the 2MUCHPRESSURE cover art and tracklist below, along with Wolf’s upcoming tour dates.

Wale’s new album, Everything Is A Lot., is just a few weeks from release, and the DMV repper has one final single to get fans hype for the drop. “City On Fire” features British-Nigerian singer-songwriter Odeal, and treads familiar territory for longtime Wale fans. It’s got a swinging, mellow beat with gently plucked guitars, compelling bass, and some nice percussion work.
Lyrically, Wale questions a paramour about her bad habits and suspect friends. It certainly sounds like he’s over the club scene, between this song, “Blanco,” and “Mirroronnabenz” with BNYX. You can’t blame him, because he’s had a pretty rough ride as far as his public perception is concerned, so gossip girls and clout chasers can move to the left.
2025 was also the year that Wale pulled the plug on his long-running wrestling fan event, Walemania. However, fans certainly got to see Wale show out thanks to T-Pain’s Wisansin Festival and J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival. Meanwhile, with his new deal as part of the legendary Def Jam Records, Wale is getting another fresh start.
You can listen to Wale’s “City On Fire” below.
Everything Is A Lot. is due 11/14 via Def Jam Recordings. You can find more info here
Fred Again.. is in the midst of a moment. Specifically, Fred is rolling out a bunch of songs from his ever-evolving USB project, one song per week. The latest arrives today: “Hardstyle 2,” alongside Kettama and Shady Nasty.
The series has also included complementary live shows, which get announced as the project goes, shortly before they happen. The next one is on November 1, at RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin with EMA, Caolan Ryan, and Fontaines DC DJs.
Meanwhile, Fred recently made a post talking about how performing and touring has been lately, saying:
“i dont want this to sound in any way like im complaining cos my GOD i wouldnt change a thing for the world and i feel unbelivably fortunate. but yes 1 hundreedddd percent theres a lot of super weird pressures that sometimes come with it that im really very new to navigating really and can get super overhwhelmed by.
and id hate to accidentally be one of those ppl whos presenting things as more shiny than they are ykno. cos sometimes i really dont feel shiny at aaaall!
i think part of it is obviusly jus like if im sad or feeling whatever else, those are often not the moments where im like ‘oh sick i should film this! that would go hard.’”
Ken Carson is in the middle of Opium’s Antagonist tour alongside labelmates Playboi Carti, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang. However, that hasn’t stopped the self-described Lord Of Chaos from releasing new music and experimenting with his sound.
While Carti leans further into abstraction with every release, Carson has quietly become one of the more conventional members of the crew. On his latest single, “Yes,” he adopts the melodic delivery that has been part of Atlanta’s trap scene for the past decade or so, sounding very much like the offspring of Young Thug and collaborators like Gunna, Lil Keed, and Lil Baby.
Lyrically, it’s very much in the “freestyle” mode that we’ve all become accustomed to lately, focusing on bragging about his appeal to the opposite sex. “Young Vamp Life, she want a bite,” he boasts.
You can listen to Ken Carson’s “Yes” above.

Back in the 2000s, twin sisters Allison and Katie Crutchfield formed the band P.S. Eliot. In 2011, they broke up and the two went on to do their own things: Katie re-branded as Waxahatchee while Allison started a new band, Swearin’. Now, the sisters are back together and they just made their comeback in a huge way: Today (October 31), they announced their new band, Snocaps, and released their surprise self-titled debut album.
A press release notes the album “recalls Allison’s band Swearin’ and Katie’s early records as Waxahatchee.” Furthermore, featured performers on the project are MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook, with Cook producing and “almost entirely” engineering the album.
There’s also a lo-fi, DIY video for “Coast,” which features the sisters mostly just hanging out, doing things like playing music, getting food, driving, exploring vintage stores, and otherwise doing slice-of-life sorts of things.
Listen to “Coast” above and find the Snocaps cover art and tracklist below.
Although Australian artist Genesis Owusu‘s latest single has a title perfectly timed for spooky season, the song’s content is decidedly less supernatural in nature. Instead, the “Death Cult Zombie” he takes on in the punky track is more political in nature, as he admonishes them, “Think too hard and you bleed / Come and get me, I won’t live on my knees / I live here so why you following me / Mr master race, but still no GED / Burning in the sun and looking British in the teeth.” I think we all know who he’s talking about.
Of course, the video manages to make things a bit more literal, opening with an homage to The Ring, and following Owusu as he runs — and off-roads — for his life, dodging literal zombies looking to take a bite out of him. There’s even a little dance number at the end, a nod to the most Halloween-themed music video of all time.
In a press release, Genesis breaks down the song’s indictment of indoctrination. “For most people, the shaking up of what they consider to be true is too scary and inconvenient,” he says. “Once you’ve picked your truth, you live by it staunchly despite whatever pesky “facts” and “logic” get in the way. Pride won’t let you be wrong, fear won’t let you be free, dogma won’t let you be aware. The delusion is more comfortable. But the longer you sit in that delusion, the faster the zombification spreads through your body like a plague; like a scourge. Gotta be brave enough to break from the cult.”
The genre-bending artist returned from a two-year hiatus with “Pirate Radio” last month; his last release prior was “Tied Up” from his second album, Struggler.
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.
Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of October below.
The Oasis reunion tour has been one of the biggest music events of 2025 (and perhaps of 2026, too). The band has delivered with reissues as the spotlight is on them, including an anniversary edition of the classic (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?. The biggest additions are new unplugged versions of five songs: “Cast No Shadow,” “Morning Glory,” “Wonderwall,” “Acquiesce,” and “Champagne Supernova.”
Carly Rae Jepsen — Emotion (10th Anniversary Edition)
Interscope/UMe
Following the smash success of “Call Me Maybe” and “Good Time,” Emotion single “I Really Like You” was a solid follow-up hit for Jepsen. That project is now a decade old, so CRJ is celebrating with an anniversary edition. There are six bonus tracks here while there a number of appealing vinyl variants: 1LP blue swirl, 1LP zoetrope, and 2LP magenta swirl. So if you ever wished that “Cut To The Feeling” was on your Emotion vinyl, this is for you.
Zoetrope discs, the ones that seem to animate when the vinyl rotates, have been a neat part of the vinyl revival, and now XXXTentacion is getting that treatment, too. That’s via the anniversary reissue of 17, the late rapper’s debut album. This edition is one to pounce on as only 10,000 units will be made available.
The “One-Step” process of bringing an album to vinyl is highly regarded as being an audiophile’s dream, and the latest album to have the privilege is Tom Petty’s iconic Wildflowers. For the reissue, the pressing was cut directly from the original master tapes. Again, this one is limited, with only 6,000 copies being produced. One of Petty’s best albums, sounding as good as ever.
Feels was the end of an era for Animal Collective, as it was their last album before signing with Domino and later blowing up with Merriweather Post Pavilion. Feels is now 20 years old and the band is coming through with a reissue. Excitingly, this new edition comes with a collection of nine B-sides and previously unreleased demos, all available in a 3LP package.
My Morning Jacket — Z 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
ATO Records
Z was a major turning point for MMJ, as the album saw the group embracing a synthier, more polished sound after their first three albums. As the project turns 20 years old, the band is unleashing outtakes, previously unreleased material, demos, and more on a new anniversary edition. The 3LP set is a beaut’, too, pressed on pink, coral, and blue vinyl.
Death From Above 1979 — You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine (Reissue)
Rhino
We’re just wrapping up October, or if you’ve been paying attention to what Rhino has been up to, Rocktober. This month, they shared a whopping 43 limited-edition releases from, you guessed it, their rock catalog. There are some classics among the bunch but some more modern classics, too, like Death From Above 1979’s beloved debut.
Jarvis Cocker has said that this new reissue of Different Class is the best that the 30-year-old album has ever sounded. That’s enough of a sell, but the release also includes the band’s full 1995 performance at Glastonbury.
Who Are You is an important part of The Who’s discography for (at least) a couple reasons: The title track is one of the group’s biggest hits, and the album was released just weeks before the death of drummer Keith Moon. At any rate, enthusiasts of the project are eating now, as this super deluxe reissue comes with a whopping 70 previously unreleased tracks.
Japanese Breakfast — For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) (Summer Sky Splash Vinyl, Barnes & Noble Exclusive)
Dead Oceans
Find Dead Oceans in your local bookstore: This month, the label announced a partnership with Barnes & Noble, which includes some limited-edition albums being available in stores nationwide. Among them is the latest Japanese Breakfast album, which here is pressed on a lovely “summer sky splash” vinyl.
Also included in the Barnes & Noble collab is Khruangbin’s 2020 favorite Mordechai, available here in an exclusive “morado” (purple) pressing. Most people’s vinyl libraries are likely short on quality instrumental LPs, and among contemporary artists, Khruangbin offer one of the best starting points.
