Over 30 renowned artists have released new music incorporating the sounds of nature to celebrate Earth Day 2025.

Petit Biscuit once made soundtracks for golden hours and quiet heartbreaks, but the boy wonder of chillwave is now entering his rave era with his new EP, Movement I. Long beloved for his ethereal soundscapes that drift like pastel clouds, the French electronic music virtuoso pivots toward a more club-focused sound without sacrificing the emotional intelligence that first made him a standout. The bass is louder, the emotions are rawer and the evolution is undeniable. If "Sunset Lover" was the day

Imagine walking into a concert where the lead synth is a barcode scanner and the rhythm section is powered by a television from 1983. That's the world of ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!, a Japanese collective rewiring the obsolete into the operatic. At the center of the imaginative collective is Ei Wada, a Japanese artist whose life's mission, spurred by a childhood vision of a music festival at the base of a crab-legged CRT tower, has led him to orchestrate a nationwide symphony of scavenged electro

Dirty has never sounded cleaner in M42's new single, "Gimme That Dirty," a sleek and snarling drum & bass track. The emerging duo's moniker nods to the Orion Nebula, Messier 42, an "enormous cloud of dust and gas where vast numbers of new stars are being forged," per NASA. In Mayan mythology, it was revered as the "fire of creation," believed to be the place where the gods kindled the first fire and initiated the creation of the world. Messier 42 held deep spiritual significance as a celesti

Five years after its initial rejection, a father-son LEGO tribute to electronic music legends Daft Punk has evolved into a creation that could soon sit on store shelves worldwide. The pyramid stage that defined the robots' groundbreaking "Alive 2007" tour may soon be manufactured as an official LEGO set thanks to the persistence of Patrick Harboun and his son. The duo's stunning design, a meticulous recreation of the stage containing over 2,000 bricks, won the Grand Prize in LEGO's global "Music

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

While other artists chase viral TikTok moments and disposable streaming numbers, Dabin has spent nearly three years crafting Aura Park, an album that prioritizes depth over drops to explore what it means to be painfully human.

Its 13 tracks navigate heartbreak and hope with tact and tenderness. The paradox of Aura Park is how something so carefully

Boys Noize has revived Human Resource's "Dominator," honoring the 1991 rave classic while reanimating it with menace, swagger and a fresh coat of chaos. Joey Beltram's seminal remix set the bar high over three decades ago, but Boys Noize was clearly up for the challenge. 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

The minds behind Miami's III Points are hoping to save even more lives in 2025. Between the music, comedy and easter egg hunts at this weekend's III Joints event—III Points' one-day offshoot to celebrate cannabis culture—there will be a bone marrow donor registration drive.

Imagine you're in a crowd at a festival, concert museum or even a public square, and suddenly, you hear a message meant only for you. No headphones, just sound. That’s the promise of "audible enclaves," the byproduct of new technology developed by scientists and researchers at Penn State that could redefine how sound is experienced in public spaces. 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

The old adage "drunk words are sober thoughts"  is taking on new meaning through a wild performance this weekend by Alison Wonderland.

This Saturday, she'll explore a reality where she wrote the record in 1515 instead of 2015. Wonderland has announced a pop-up DJ set on the Maybower Stage at Southern California's Ren
