Oh my! Pop Star Katy Perry and her team are under investigation for a video shoot they did in Spain on a protected beach without permission. The singer was shooting a video for her single ‘Lifetimes’ on the island of Ibiza in a national park with protected wildlife, and authorities were not having it. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fishery, and Natural Environment announced that they opened an investigation into the video shoot that took place in the Parc Natural de Ses Salines. This regio

Without "Nightcall" would people still say "he's literally me" when watching Drive? On the 13th anniversary of the release of the Ryan Gosling-led cult classic, Kavinsky has teased the release of a revamped version of his most iconic track. Coming soon is a new remix of "Nightcall" as performed by Kavinsky, Phoenix and Angèle at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics closing ceremony. The teaser arrived via posts across the artists' social media pages, which feature a billboard with the names of each, K

It’s been nearly nine years since Kavinsky released his debut album, OutRun, featuring his smash hit, “Nightcall.” Since then, the producer has remained enigmatic though not necessarily elusive. A steady social media presence has kept hope alive that he would one day return and, to be corny, answer his own night call. Last year, he announced a new album was on the way and today we get the first single, “Renegade” with Cautious Clay. Greatly inspired by cinema, Kavinsky has always intertwined m

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

Although the 2024 Paris Olympics have come to an end, the magic continues to live on through Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall,’ which will now see an official Paris Olympic edit. The 2024 Olympics took place July 26 – August 11, hosted in Paris, France, with America taking home the most medals, followed by The People’s Republic of China, and Japan. You can see the full list of results here. This year’s events were stunning to watch, from the opening ceremony on July 26 in front of the Eiffel Tower all

Last Sunday’s Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris saw the return of ‘Nightcall’, the 2010 banger from French DJ/producer Kavinsky that allowed fans to turn back the musical clock. The Closing Ceremony provided a lot of musical thrills coming from the likes of French singer-songwriter Yseult, Belgian artist Angèle, Cambodian rapper VannDa, American lead vocalist and guitarist Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend, and French Indie Rock band Phoenix. This is the same Closing

Detroit based artist KAWSAN has quickly begun to make a name for himself, both on stage and in the studio. He’s performed with some of the biggest names around, including Paul Oakenfold, Dash Berlin, Don Diablo, to name a few, while his productions have been a breath of fresh air into the progressive house / melodic techno space. His latest single saw him teaming up with Daniel Pinho and vocalist Gabi Gray for their single, “Nightmares”. It earned the nod of approval from none other than De

KAYA is back with "Center of a Storm," a stunning melodic house track that ensnares listeners in a whirlwind of beats and emotions. Hailing from Bordeaux, France with parents from Cameroon and Congo, the LA-based DJ channels his training in classical piano and film-scoring to produce lush dance music. That unique background is on display in his uplifting new single, which dares you to weather inner hurricanes. "Center of a Storm" isn't your garden-variety dancefloor filler. It's a battle cry for

Get ready to groove, North America! KAYTRANADA has just announced his Timeless North American Tour, and he’s bringing the phenomenal Channel Tres along for the ride. This announcement comes hot on the heels of his recent European festival tour. This included performances at Sonar, Parklife, and We Love Green. It was here that he debuted his electrifying new live show. The live show is in support of his third full-length album, ‘Timeless,’ released via RCA Records. Unmissable Tour Stops a

Kayzo and Scarlxrd's new single, "Eyes Wide Xpen," isn't comfortable—it's a furious excavation of the buried truths we choose to ignore. A punishing blend of metal, hip-hop and trap music, the track rips open like a ruptured artery, Kayzo's bass a barbed-wire riff twisting through Scarlxrd's snarling verses. The latter's lyrics are jagged hooks, each syllable laced with a bitter truth about society's decay. Simultaneously invigorating and unsettling, Scarlxrd's claustrophobic verses offer a beau

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

Kayzo’s humble beginnings as a student of Icon Collective in Southern California seem like a lifetime ago, now that he’s just announced his Unleashed XL tour for 2023, ending with a headlining performance at the iconic Forum in Los Angeles. Since he started the project in 2012, he’s hit every marker of growth and has steadily grown as an artist and person, leading to this truly monumental occasion. The Unleashed XL tour is on sale now. We caught up with Kayzo over the phone this week to talk ab

The amount of songs Kayzo released in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic is mind boggling, putting out somewhere along the lines of 14 tracks including his The Year The World Stood Still EP. Toward the beginning of the year, he clearly had rock and metal on his mind, though, teaming up with Atreyu and Bad Omens. Now, almost three years later, Atreyu and Kayzo have teamed up again for “Depression Season,” a fitting reference to seasonal affective disorder many of us experience during the winter m

It feels like only yesterday when I interviewed the recent-D1 hockey player Hayden Capuozzo, aka Kayzo, at a small pizza shop in North Hollywood, accompanied by his manager, having just graduated from Icon Collective. In reality, that was back in 2015 and a lot has happened since then — he’s released two albums, launched his own label, headlined festival stages, and created and cultivated a devoted fanbase that lives for his unique and fervent blend of electronic and rock. Today, Kayzo releases

The new EP from Australian artist and DJ Kaz James is called “Never The Same” and is out now on Rose Avenue Records. This is Kaz James’s first release on RÜFÜS DU SOL’s label, and his Never The Same EP is a fantastic twofer. The two tracks are linked by a mood of escape, and the EP is full of mysterious percussion and smooth tunes. Everything work well with the way the two tracks are put together. Nicholas Routledge of the electro-pop band Van She sings on the title track “Never The Same.” Th

Scottish DJ and producer KC Lights latest release, Fly, a collaboration with Swedish vocalist Welt, showcases his signature sound. The track embodies summer vibes and positivity. It’s designed to energize pool parties and dominate radio playlists. KC Lights’ production skills shine through, creating an uplifting atmosphere.

Bridging the chasm between euphoria and despair, KDrew dissects the human condition in his new single, "Hysteria." The melodic bass track pulsates like a feverish heartbeat, its thunderous kickdrums intertwining with haunting melodies to mirror the frantic energy of its title. As the song's propulsive arrangement progresses, you can't help but be swept away by the sheer force of KDrew's cinematic production. Meanwhile, his powerful vocals explore temporal dissonance, framing a mental snapshot of
