The outpouring of help and support to the Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded in late February has been truly astonishing thus far, both in Europe and abroad. With round-the-clock asylum centers set up in Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia and Romania, donation centers for food, clothes, personal products et cetera trucking supplies into Ukraine daily and thousands of citizens opening their homes to asylum seekers in neighboring countries, everyone has shifted into help mode a

NGHTMRE touched down in New York at the Brooklyn Mirage this past Fourth of July for an epic DRMVRSE show with Kill The Noise, ATLiens, YOOKiE, and FrostTop. As one might expect, the show was an absolute blast — but one moment from the headlining set seems to be grabbing all the attention. With the recent release of Ray Volpe’s “Laserbeam,” the song has garnered even more live play than before, despite already being the most played song at EDC Las Vegas a couple months ago. Pair that with “Scre

Last year, RL Grime played the Forum. This year, Subtronics played it. Next up is Kayzo to grace one of the most iconic venues in Los Angeles in a trend that sees electronic music beginning to take a bigger stage at live stages across the country. The show was announced last year before the full lineup was revealed, and we had a great discussion with Kayzo about what it means for so many new artists to play the Forum for the first time. Now, the hype is even larger with the official support lin

Midnight Pool Party has proven that not only are they house connoisseurs, but kings of creating amazing grooves within each single. Their latest is no exception to the greatness we’ve come to expect from the talented duo, as they’ve unleashed a thumping tech house single “Stamina“. They view it as a song powerful enough to keep your party battery charged and in full swing all weekend long. It’s also one of the song ideas that they wrote during a weekend writing session earlier this year whic

Deucez has had a busy 2023 so far releasing an official remix for ATLiens on Bassrush and embarking on his debut headline tour across 19 cities and counting. Deucez is well known for his heavy gritty riddim within the bass community but has opted for more of a feel-good melodic vibe with his brand new track “Fate (The Way It Is)” out now Cyclops Recordings. It’s a catchy blend of a more pop centered vocal backed by a crisp hip hop beat. It all builds wonderfully towards a tantalizing, uplift

The winners of the 2024 Electronic Dance Music Awards have been revealed. A highlight of this year's Miami Music Week, the 2024 EDMA ceremony took place on Friday, March 22nd at the Eden Roc Hotel a day after EDM.com's official pre-party. Normally a sun-kissed poolside affair, the event moved indoors as Miami was getting walloped by 2.34 inches of rain, an all-time daily record for the city. But the weather didn't deter the organizers of the EDMAs, which have emerged as the electronic dance musi

For years, music lovers have traveled to destinations that bring together breathtaking coastal views with vibrant music scenes. Take the annual SXM Festival, for instance. Held on the Caribbean island of St. Martin, this beachside festival offers more than just music. It’s an immersive experience with beach parties, sophisticated villa gatherings, and relaxing poolside events that showcase the island’s natural beauty. The 2024 lineup promises to be a treat for electronic music enthusiasts, fea

This one is a fun one! British Melodic Techno artist Massano delivers his newest single ‘Fama Land’. An interesting and sultry sample from RAFFA GUIDO’s ‘Famax’, available on his very own label Simulate. Massano makes it his own, with a new title, compared to the official remixes from Goom Gum or Franky Rizardo. The track is a more aggressive and peaktime-like approach compared to other singles from the DJ such as ‘Angel in the Dark’. ‘Fama Land’ The track begins with the catchy and r

Jacob Colon has carved out a distinctive space in the House music landscape, blending Latin rhythms with deep, infectious grooves. His latest release, ‘Taino Beats’, sees him joining forces with longtime collaborators Sted-E & Hybrid Heights, bringing together their combined production prowess for a track that feels both organic and club-ready. With a hypnotic flute riff at its core and a driving percussive foundation, the record showcases the seamless fusion of their styles.    We caught up

I’m sure others might feel differently, but after the last year, 2021 has felt like an opportunity for redemption and growth. Being stuck inside for the better part of a year, and even then once you’re let back out into the world, to see it like… this? It does things to people. And throughout time, music has served as an incredible tool to shed off some of that weight and anxiety, to see yourself and your feelings represented in art, and perhaps identify with something along with others. Dabin

Insomniac just dropped the highly anticipated set times for their flagship event, EDC Las Vegas, and ooh boy, it’s a doozy. There are chart-topping headliners to be found everywhere, insane b2bs all over the place, rare art car performances, and some very tough decisions to be made. But, that’s okay; we’re here to help you figure out the best acts to see and maybe tip the scales on some of the many time conflicts you and/or your squad are sure to encounter. Let’s start with Day 1. Opening cerem

Not often are rising artists given the chance to receive a massive remix that might change their career’s trajectory, yet for MunchKing and CC is Dreaming that is exactly the case, since they just managed to enlist bass maestro Crankdat to re-crank their latest single “Passive Aggressive.” Crankdat has established himself as a force to be reckoned with over the past years, with countless remixes and bootlegs, as well as a strong catalog of bass masterpieces. MunchKing, who has performed alongsi

With a handful of releases this year already, and massive acclaim from some of the industry’s leading publications, there is no doubt that Indian talent Narayan has set his sights high for the rest of 2021 and beyond. Just recently he was enlisted to create sample packs for renowned  companies CR2 Records and Audentity Records, as well as performed a mix for Taz Network which went live on a YouTube Charity show put up by SuicideSheep with American nonprofit organization TWLOHA. Now, Narayan is

Coachella is generally pretty tight-lipped about who’s playing its festival until the complete lineup drops. Though fans can sometimes make educated guesses based on gaps in tour schedules, it’s usually frowned upon for any artist to explicitly come out and say they’re playing the festival until the official announcement. That being said, Coachella is jumping the gun on their own with a teaser for Swedish House Mafia at this upcoming April festival. The trio’s logo has been seen all over the U

Insomniac is breaking into the world of cannabis and launching their own line of cannabis strains called RNBW, with varieties including Night Owl, Peach Cobbler, Party Crasher, Spread Love, Chai High, Desert Wind, Fluffy Pillows, and more. “Intersecting live music and cannabis culture is something I’ve been looking forward to and the time is finally here,” writes Insomniac head honcho Pasquale Rotella. “I can’t wait for us to take this immersive journey together.” The flower is available at se

Monstercat, Audioporn, Korsakov Music and Mainframe Recordings darling High Maintenance has been quiet lately, with his last original work out in May of 2020, the dancefloor collab EP, also with AL/SO (love that pun), Hypersonic. Now we know why: the cheeky chap from Brighton has only gone and rebranded as Synth System, quietly releasing his first remix of Sub Focus’s “Last Jungle” on RAM in August. While the newly minted Synth System has been retooling on the DL, however, Korsakov Music’s A&am

The alluring duo of Alix Perez and EPROM as Shades receives its 5th EP release, The Dance Of Death, today. Four tracks paint the picture through the project, featuring a heavy concoction of innovative bass sounds. The EP opens with “The Corruption,” the project’s only single. Here listeners are introduced to the heavy atmosphere and haunting modulation of The Dance of Death. “The Creation” follows the same eerie soundscape narrative, allowing staticky, glitched out synths to ring in and out of

Sullivan King, real name Keaton Prescott, and Madeleine Prescott married in February of 2017. The two have become quite the power couple, and could regularly been seen together on tour and at festivals like Lost Lands. Now, the two have announced they are expecting their first child next April. “I really don’t even know how to explain the magnitude of happiness and joy we feel right now…,” Sullivan King writes. “My wife madeleine and I are so incredibly excited to welcome our first baby into th

The next chapter in the storied history of RÜFÜS DU SOL is here as the trio release their fourth studio album, Surrender. Surrender isn’t a whole lot of innovation for the group, bringing back familiar motifs and melodies to each of their songs. It is, however, an incredible display of growth as each track has a noticeable sheen that was not as prevalent on previous works. Part of that could be due to RÜFÜS experimenting with collaboration for the first time, welcoming Curtis Harding to the fol

Over a decade ago, Kavinsky became a prominent name in dance music with the release of “Nightcall.” Hardly anyone could have predicted the longevity or popularity of the track, or that it would receive remixes from Breakbot and Robotaki, and a placement in the movie ‘Drive.’ It was first released on its own album Nightcall, along with “Pacific Coast Highway” and a host of remixes, and then again in 2013 on his debut album, OutRun. Since then, Kavinsky hasn’t released a thing. Now, the French D

It’s been a persistent, long road for the intersection between music and video games. A little over two decades ago we had the soundtrack from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, soon games like Forza and Need For Speed incorporated soundtracks, then FIFA and NBA 2k, even producers like Noisia were creating scores for games like Devil May Cry. In the past couple of years, we’ve seen that relationship blossom with in-game performances in Fortnite and entirely unique bands created in League of Legends. Festival
