Pete Tong Confirms More Anyma Sphere Shows

We’ve been bamboozled, in the best way possible. After an incredible, history-making residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Anyma may be returning to “End of Genesys” even sooner than we anticipated! The news, or leak, came at the hands of none other than BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong. Anyma sat for a lengthy interview (listen in full at the link) about his new single and about much more.

The interview touched on how ‘Hypnotized’ was made from beginning to end, explaining that Goulding started the process by sending over the acapella which Anyma loved. An interesting segway talked about Anyma’s debut show at Printworks in 2022. Matteo explained that during that show about 80% of the planned visual production failed to work, but the audience’s overwhelmingly positive reaction to the 20% was enough to guide the project forward. The artist then explains that contrary to most artists, he plans the music and the visuals together as one cohesive whole.

Residency Extension

The surprise announcement happened during Tong’s Radio 1 HQ Show the week of January 11th, when the host mentioned Anyma’s historic residency in Las Vegas. Before Tong plays the chosen tune of the week ‘Hypnotized’ featuring Ellie Goulding, he includes her appearance as a special guest for “End of Genesys”. He carries on, acknowledging the massive success of the show. Furtherly, he confirms that due to the overwhelming success of the event, even though it ended that weekend, more shows will be added.

However

Pete Tong’s claims have neither been denied nor confirmed by official sources. Nevertheless, the speculations are as high as ever, as there have been rumors of Tale of Us potentially splitting up this year, as both Anyma and MRAK continuously work on their solo projects. The extension of this residency would prove once again that the Italian DJ and producer Anyma is in a league of its own when it comes to audiovisual events, which have captivated hundreds of thousands of listeners worldwide.

Las Vegas, continuously becoming an epicenter of EDM, has recently announced major residencies. The Wynn Hotel alone confirmed Odesza, Sofi Tukker, and Subtronics as major residencies for this summer. An End of Genesys Pt. II during the summer would heal the world. It would mean potentially new tracks and visuals, new guest live performers, and more robotic cellos! Although it’s really looking up for Anyma, we will closely monitor this developing news.

All in all, The Sphere revealed its next residency to be the Country act Kenny Chesney, starting in May. Past last year residencies included U2 and The Eagles. Anyma was the very first EDM artist to play there, and set the bar extremely high. Will he go for more? Stay tuned!
