It sucks when you wake up the next day back at home after a music festival. Picture this. You coordinated with ideal friends to get off work early, what sets to see, and who the designated driver will be every night. Then you get there. Past the security and the entrance, you start to see eye-popping fashion you won’t see anywhere else. You hear some of the smaller stages playing a song you’ve never heard before but that will catch up with you by Day 2. You start to explore this multi-million

Back when Swedish House Mafia first revealed their forthcoming collaboration with IKEA last September, the response from fans was… lukewarm. The timing was definitely awry, as fans expected the announcement to signal the release of “Moth to a Flame” with The Weeknd — which we did eventually get — but instead were met with yet another merchandise collaboration. A year has passed since then, and the sting has mostly dissipated as the collection officially launches next month, October 2022. Accor

French duo il:lo are the epitome of thoughtful collaboration. It’s not a question of whether Dejado and Schütz are able to produce on their own, but it’s the magic that sparks between them when they come together.  Their creative partnership bears witness to the fruitfulness of collaboration and creative community, and their latest EP ‘Myriad’ is proof of it. It’s a release that’s testament to their ability to grow and learn together, and help each other in this process. From start to finish

Two of electronic music’s greatest made the most of their time overseas. Illenium and Martin Garrix both played Creamfields in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago. And over the weekend, both posted that they met up in the studio in Tokyo to work on some music! Martin is seen holding a guitar but other than that, no other information has been released. To no one’s surprise, the internet is all for it. With intense die hard followings for both artists, it’s going to be hard to not get excited

After teasing a new album and new single, ILLENIUM officially releases his new single with Skylar Grey, “From The Ashes,” today. Stylistically, the song is peak ILLENIUM. Soaring chords, beautiful vocals, delicate guitar and piano in between more cacophonous drops — he’s found his formula and it’s working. As for the title of the song, we wouldn’t be surprised if it was the title track from the forthcoming album he’s teased. Since the last album was Fallen Embers, rising “from the ashes” would
