In a world inching toward dystopia, EDC returned to Las Vegas over the weekend and once again offered a welcome escape under the electric sky. Those who have attended North America's largest EDM event in the past know it's much more than just a festival. It's more of a temporary civilization with its own language, laws and gravitational pull. And in 2025, this rave utopia on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway was as inviting and colorful as ever. From trance to techno to trap and every genre in-betwee

11 months of silence are shattered in three minutes of brilliance in "Mash Up," 33 Below's first new original music in nearly a year. With the new single, the New Zealand-born artist signals a triumphant return that should put the electronic music community on notice. We might be witnessing the start of a particularly massive chapter for one of the scene's most exciting young producers, who in 2023 was named in EDM.com's list of the year's best electronic records. "Feels good to be back," 33 Bel

Bread and butter are a classic pairing, but SOFI TUKKER aren't ones to follow the status quo. The duo have released their fourth studio album, butter, a delectable counterpart to 2024's steamy BREAD. While BREAD stands for "Be Really Energetic And Dance," butter dials down the tempo and raises the heat, melting listeners with sensual serenades and soulful soundscapes through a Brazilian lens. Comprising "nearly all organic elements," according to SOFI TUKKER's Sophie Hawley-Weld, butter is infus

Getter has signed with United Talent Agency as he prepares to end his indefinite hiatus from the electronic music scene, his agent, Ben Hogan, announced on social media. The strategic representation deal hints at a substantial comeback for the virtuosic DJ and producer, whose last original electronic release was 2021's Some Creature EP. Getter, whose real name is Tanner Petulla, signaled a return last week after releasing an official remix of Mike Posner's hit debut single, "Cooler Than Me."  To

You might not have planned for a late night out, but Max Styler’s Need You Tonight EP makes a strong case for canceling tomorrow. Out now via Patrick Topping’s Trick label, the two-track release distills Styler’s recent club-facing direction into a compact package. Both tracks have become fixtures in his recent DJ sets, most notably during his appearance at Coachella’s Do LaB stage last month. The title track, “Need You Tonight,” with Ōsé trades in futuristic tech house textures, underpinned by

In a musical era saturated with releases expressly designed for virality, Acyan’s new Ghost Town EP delivers a breath of hauntingly fresh air. Out now via Wubaholics, the five-track project growls and groans with the eerie ambience of the forgotten towns that inspired it. There’s an honesty to Ghost Town that makes it stand apart. Acyan, whose day job as a Fort Collins bus driver lends him an unpretentious mystique, brings a rare depth of intent. Where others settle for filthy beats and call it

Downtown Denver will pulse to the beat of house music and cultural enrichment alike when FISHER headlines a high-energy block party at 16th & Welton, a landmark event celebrating the $175 million revitalization of the city's 16th Street Mall. Scheduled for May 26th, the open-air concert is set to transform one of Denver’s most historic corridors. The city, long stereotyped as a bass music stronghold, will turn into a tech house dreamland to celebrate Memorial Day. The event is the result of

15 years after telling the world off with a synth hook and smirk, Mike Posner is back to prove his breakthrough debut single still runs the dancefloor. Armed with five heavy-hitting reworks and a brand-new vocal from Posner himself, Dim Mak Records has released a remix pack to breathe new life into "Cooler Than Me." The timing is no accident. Posner is set to make a high-profile appearance at EDC Las Vegas this weekend, and the EP, dubbed Headliner Remix Pack, sets the stage with ample firepower

Because Las Vegas shouldn't have all the fun with immersive entertainment, Denver is now getting its turn through the US debut of "Dome Show 360," an audiovisual experience inspired by the one presented by the Vegas Sphere. Created by veteran DJ and electronic music producer Damian Force, the show is coming to Denver's Auraria Campus on June 13th, 2025. He says it took him over seven years to develop the "unified narrative" of the cutting-edge show, wherein the entire environment becomes the ins

As EDC Las Vegas kicks off today, the Victoria's Voice Foundation is stepping in with a proactive approach to festival safety by giving away naloxone, the nonprofit tells EDM.com. Victoria's Voice is hosting a pop-up from 10am to 3pm at the East Tower of the Westgate Las Vegas, where they'll be offering the opioid overdose reversal medication for free in their goal to combat overdose deaths at music festivals. Festivalgoers can pick up free doses of naloxone along with educational materials on h

Alok and Łaszewo have joined forces with A$AP Rocky, sampling his track "HIGHJACK" and reimagining it as a high-energy dance anthem. If Rocky's darkly expressionistic original was a hostage situation, this new version is the adrenaline-fueled rescue mission. "HIGHJACK (right back)" strips its brooding hip-hop framework and rebuilds it for peak-hour club moments, dialing up the tempo for today's dancefloors. Originally nestled in smoky, downtempo soundscapes, Rocky's street-wise delivery now floa

The alchemy that transformed folk storytelling into timeless electronic music wasn't magic—it was Avicii. The late EDM icon's posthumous collection, Avicii Forever, bottles that transformative formula while adding one final precious element to the equation. Out today via Interscope, the retrospective compilation couples Avicii's defining catalog with "Let's Ride Away," a previously unreleased collaboration with Elle King. Her vocals about finding one's place hang heavy as an aching statement fro

With his new single "Until The Lights Go Out," Axwell builds a dancefloor where convictions are checked at the door. Out now via Axtone, the hedonistic house track is a collaboration with CARMA, the duo comprising James Carter and Tom Martin. The new single arrives hotly anticipated after Axwell dropped it during his spectacular Ultra Miami set back in March. Lyrically, "Until The Lights Go Out" captures a raw, almost primal urge to break free through vocals urging us to dance until collapse. We

"In My Arms," the new single from ILLENIUM and HAYLA, captures the rare moment when the right voice and the right production collide at just the right time. "This one means a lot to me," ILLENIUM said of the new collaboration, his first single after signing to Republic Records. "Raw emotion from start to finish. HAYLA, your voice is magnetic and took this to another level." The track's first few moments flicker with a quiet tension before opening up into the kind of wide-eyed, emotive drop that

Just before the season of sunburns and serotonin, powerhouse vocalist VASSY has teamed up with Dutch producer RSCL for "Beg," a summery, piano-drenched dance anthem. The track is out now Gemstone Records, the house music offshoot of Hardwell's storied label, Revealed. VASSY has never been one to hold back. Her voice is bold, unmistakable and built for the kind of tracks that make you feel something. On "Beg," she and RSCL deliver a track that radiates the kind of confidence only dance music with

Anyma has revealed the tracklist of his long-awaited third album, The End Of Genesys. Scheduled for May 30th, the release will wrap a trilogy of albums that started with 2023's Genesys and its predecessor the following year, Genesys II. The album "marks the end of one era and the dawn of Anyma’s next chapter," per a press release. The End Of Genesys features recent singles like "Neverland (From Japan)" and "Hypnotized," the fan-favorite track Anyma released in January alongside Ellie Goulding. T

Some might call it swimming against the current. Toolroom Records, however, would call it knowing what actually makes us all dance. In a digital age where streaming all too often dominates the conversation, Mark Knight's storied record label has defiantly proven that culture still matters most. The independent electronic music powerhouse recently claimed Beatport's prestigious "Best Selling Label of the Year" award for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its position as a juggernaut in the

Denver's Civic Center Park hit a new high this past weekend as Dom Dolla drew the largest crowd in the venue's history May 9-10, the DJ announced on social media. The open-air shows marked a major moment not just for the Australian house music superstar, but for Denver's volcanic reputation as an electronic music hotspot. The park, which has hosted notable acts like Lane 8, Zeds Dead and even a Boiler Room takeover, has seen its fair share of dance shows, but nothing quite like this. Fans packed

Celebrating the birthday of Brian Eno, acclaimed electronic music producer Lawrence Lui is paying homage to the godfather of ambient music with a cover of 1992's "Fractal Zoom."  Lui dials up the dissonance on his rework of the track, which appeared on Eno's 11th studio album, Nerve Net. It's out now to align with both AAPI Heritage Month and Eno's 77th trip around the sun. Awash in atmospheric density, Lui's production somehow feels both spacious and claustrophobic as ghostly samples hover atop

As nearly half a million ravers prepare to descend on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for EDC, the festival's organizers at Insomniac are making sure its signature sounds and colors travel far beyond Nevada’s borders. North America's largest electronic music festival is returning to Las Vegas from May 16-18, and it's delivering an expansive livestream offering across Insomniac TV and YouTube. The stream begins each day at 6:45pm PT, capturing the full play-by-play of EDC's neon-drenched dreamscape.

Motor City's storied Movement Electronic Music Festival is getting a boost of endorphins over Memorial Day Weekend with the launch of the "Detroit Techno 5k," a new event blending running with techno. Scheduled for Sunday, May 25th, the 75-minute run will take participants along the scenic Detroit River and through the historic grounds of Fort Wayne. As the first-ever fitness-focused event tied to Movement, it’s both a race and a celebration of techno culture in the genre's birthplace. The event

Champagne Drip and Linney have reunited to release Story Arcs, a genre-bending EP out now via Liquid Stranger's Wakaan imprint. The three-track project masterfully oscillates between future bass, house, dubstep and drum & bass as Champagne Drip threads his dreamlike production through the emotive vocals of Linney, a recent inductee to the EDM.com Class of 2025. The duo last teamed up in 2021 for "In My Dreamz," and their latest once again strikes a compelling balance between storytelling and
