With their most recent single, “All I Wanted,” Hunter/Game, the Italian team comprising Martino Bertola and Emmanuele Nicosia, has once more shown their brilliance. This song provides a seductive preview of what seems to be a revolutionary release as the third and last teaser for their forthcoming album ‘VISION‘. The six-minute track “All I Wanted” showcases Hunter/Game’s ability to combine analog instrumentation with state-of-the-art production methods. Hi-hats and sharp synths lead the way as

Is it deja vu? Sadly, no, it’s another incredible show forced to be rescheduled due to the impending Hurricane Helene. The Caverns in Tennessee announced today that they had to shut down operations for the Eli Brown takeover this weekend September 27th and 28th. The popular Bristol-based Techno DJ would’ve been the second Techno act this year in the venue. As we remember, Hard Techno High Priestess Sara Landry had her ritualistic takeover in late June.

After a yearlong hiatus, husband and wife duo The Two Fake Blondes are back with something entirely new, an infectious drum & bass track, "Holy Spirit Lead." The song originally began as an acoustic demo that the pair eventually transformed into a drum & bass arrangement. The song embodies the passion The Two Fake Blondes channel into each of their tunes, kicking things off with enchanting vocals before introducing a drop with an ethereal LFO sequence, ultimately delivering a unique take

Following the release of his debut solo EP Just Like A Flower, the project that launched his visionary new imprint 57 Records, HWIN returns with a euphoric remix of one of the project’s standout tracks, ‘Love Is All I Need‘. This remix reimagines the original UK garage-influenced track with a driving four-on-the-floor pulse and global rhythmic influences. While preserving the emotional core that defines HWIN’s work, this version transforms the intimate anthem into a celebratory peak-time moment.

To date, only two drum & bass acts have headlined the iconic Wembley Arena in the UK: Pendulum and Andy C. The 12,500-seat facility is London’s second-largest indoor arena after The O2 Arena, and the ninth-largest in the United Kingdom, but you’ll see almost every artist who’s played there has a “(Live At Wembley)” album available to stream. Now, Hybrid Minds is poised to add their name to the list of D&B acts who have graced the venue’s marquee on October 22. With more to come, very s

One of my all-time favorite drum & bass songs is the Nu:Logic remix of “Wings” by Birdy. It’s not even available on Spotify, so every once in a while I’ll head to MrSuicideSheep to listen and cry a little. So when I got word of Hybrid Minds teaming up with Birdy on their new single, “State Lines,” to say I was excited was an understatement. To say it was worth the wait, even moreso. Hybrid Minds are one of the world’s hottest D&B acts right now, looking forward to a headline performanc

David Stefanowicz, the accomplished producer behind hypernaut, has seamlessly transitioned through diverse musical genres over the past decade, from indie rock to pop punk, establishing a unique presence in the electronic dance music scene. The genesis of his new single “promise” traces back to a transformative moment inspired by Sammy Virji’s DJ Mag set in August 2023. This encounter led Stefanowicz to delve into UK Garage, Bassline, UK Bass, resulting in a creative fusion within his music.

In the dynamic world of electronic music, 2023 has witnessed the meteoric rise of an artist who is rapidly becoming a household name: hypernaut.

If we've learned anything about Porter Robinson over the years, it's that running the emotional gauntlet of his music is unavoidable. His albums are few and far between, but when they do come, we all willingly plunge into his bitcrushed universe of unfiltered nostalgia. As fans wait with bated breath for his long-awaited third LP, Robinson today released its first single, "Cheerleader." The anime-inspired dance track shimmers like a Tokyo cityscape, fusing bubbly hyperpop and indietronica to del

In trance music’s alphabet, G is for Germany, while H could only ever count for Holland … ports-of-call already made by the Hypnotised album series. When it comes to Britain though (likewise touched on in 2023), it has to share its B with another. Despite its neatly compact size, Belgium’s left an outsized impression on the genre, and that’s where Hypnotised’s roots-to-musical-riches ‘Journey Through Trance’ series arrives on June 7. Meticulously detailing the impact the country had on the scene

When you think about DJing, images of packed dance floors, flashing lights, and late-night sets come to mind. But what if DJing wasn’t just about the party scene? What if it was actually an incredible educational tool for kids, one that boosts creativity, sharpens problem-solving skills, and builds confidence? That’s exactly the kind of thinking behind I Can DJ Anywhere, a new illustrated children’s book by DJ Bear Who? (Edwin Rios). More than just a fun story, the book introduces young readers

Here’s an extensive body of work, with an extensive love for the golden decade of music. It’s perhaps the most meaningful bracket of time for music. Arguably (do argue with me, I’m ready) the best tracks in modern-day history were born in the 80s. Also, the rise of Dance music as a whole has a strong link to the decade. And so, it’s always nice to see — or rather, hear — someone paying homage to it. Cue Ian Storm. Ian Storm is a successful producer with over 400 million streams. Hits of
