Steve Aoki' built Dim Mak's reputation on sonic anarchy, and Laidback Luke and Nostalgix just reminded us why. The title of their new single, "1000 BPM," is hyperbole, but its energy isn't. Reckless, rebellious and built for the kind of night that ends in daylight and sweet regret, the track is a lipstick-smudged throwback to the label's heyday, when its parties left nobody without a bruise or a story. "'1000 BPM' is all about being in your party girl era—living in the moment, letting loose and

He weaponizes the original's snarling hoover synth, a sonic war cry of the early hardcore scene, but in his skilled hands, what surrounds it now is all gleaming steel and scorched earth. The original "Dominator" commanded ravers

Some artistic combinations are simply written in the stars, and they don't lie when they pair visionaries. After taking us to the moon back in 2009, Kid Cudi is returning to orbit, this time with Dom Dolla steering the spaceship. The duo today released "Forever," one of the year's biggest dance music collaborations. If "Day 'n' Nite" was the soundtrack to stargazing alone, "Forever" is the euphoric sound of dancing in zero gravity. Dolla's club sensibility meets Cudi's existential cool, and toge

Led by Jiaxin Zhong, a postdoctoral scholar in acoustics, and Yun Jing, a professor of acoustics at Penn State, the research team has figured out ho
