It may sound far-fetched for rugged rugby players to swap scrums for turntables, but former England player-turned-DJ, James Haskell, says that's exactly what happened when he began learning the craft of DJing 11 years ago. Haskell, along with other rugby players in New Zealand, would alchemize their post-match adrenaline into energetic DJ sets, picking up new skills and that ultimately gave him the confidence to land gigs. Haskell's career as an international rugby player is now over, but his ca

When three masters of their respective craft align, the result is a statement-making effort. Loco Dice, Skrillex and Fireboy DML have joined forces for "Heavy Heart," a near-six-minute blitz of underground house grooves, genre-bending production and vocals delivered with magnetic precision.  At its core, "Heavy Heart" remains tied to its underground roots through and through. The rhythm evolves constantly, from variations of wavy basslines to cackling one-shots and the psychedelic ping-pong of v

1788-L's ominous new project feels less like an EP and more like an urgent transmission from the ambitious fringes of sound design.  With NU-TYPE vol. 1, the producer has inked his first release on Rezz's HypnoVizion label. And it doesn't just simply just push the envelope—it obliterates it with a barrage of seismic basslines and genre-defying song structures. The project's opening salvo, “Wartype” (with Quackson), sets the tone with thunderous, cinematic impacts that evolve into a frenzy of gro

Carly Wilford is back with a new single, "Loveline," a house stunner with lyricism that blurs the line between desire and delusion. Her latest track transforms personal torment into a hypnotic, rhythmic exploration of connection—beautiful yet utterly consuming. She manages to weave a powerful storyline through its palpitating four-on-the-floor beat, capturing the visceral ache of a love that exists only in shadowy mental spaces—part memory, part hallucination. Wilford's propulsive production dri

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to experience Maverick Helicopters’ Sky Trip experience which took me into the sky to enjoy the cityscape views of Long Beach and an aerial view of Dreamstate SoCal Festival. Since I opted for the trip which embarked from the festival, I met with very friendly staff members at the Maverick Helicopter booth inside the festival who checked me in. After a short wait, another crew member golf carted me back to the main office where I was handed a safety flier
