Peggy Gou instantaneously sets the tone for I Hear You, her debut album, with an evocative rallying cry urging us to reconnect with our inner selves amidst the chaos of modern life: "We have colonized, industrialized, modernized. We have forgotten self-respect and to listen to ourselves." Gliding on the wings of her global dance hit "(It Goes Like) Nanana," which quickly became a dancefloor staple, Gou's journey to this momentous debut has been nothing short of remarkable. Serving as a touchston

A Boiler Room event in Seoul, South Korea, headlined by Peggy Gou was abruptly halted over the weekend due to overcrowding concerns. The incident occurred at SFactory on Saturday, July 27th, prompting a response from emergency services. According to reports, overcrowding issues began to arise before Peggy Gou’s set.

North America is about to close out summer with a healthy dose of drum & bass directly from one of the genre's most influential acts. Pendulum have announced their return to the United States and Canada for a rare DJ tour, revealing nine dates. Aside from a single stop in Vancouver, all of the group's performances will take place in the US. Late last year, the iconic electronic music band teamed up with Matthew Tuck of Bullet for My Valentine for a heavy metal-infused EP, Anima. Not long bef

If you’ve never seen Pendulum live (which due to their near-decade long absence from the touring circuit, likely many have not), you’re missing out. The 4-piece band brings classic drum & bass flavor with a live band performance to create a truly unforgettable experience. Last month, the band performed “secret” sets at both Reading & Leeds Festivals in the UK. Writes NME: Yesterday (August 26) on the first day of music at this year’s pair of events, a cryptic poster displaying Pendulum

When it comes to drum and bass, few do it as good as Australian dnb legends Pendulum. Over the course of their career, they’ve achieved 3 platinum albums along with a #1 & #2 hit in the UK – known especially for never being afraid to push the creative boundaries when it comes to this genre. After releasing two massive singles this summer – “Halo ft. Matt Tuck” and “Colourfast”, the band has now delivered their highly anticipated ‘Anima’ EP that all together is some of their most polished

Pendulum have announced a rare concert they're calling the "biggest ever live show" of their career. The influential electronic band is set to take the stage of England's massive Milton Keynes Bowl, which has a capacity of 65,000. While it's their first headlining performance at the venue, it's not their first time performing there. Back in 2008, Pendulum supported Linkin Park before sharing the stage with The Prodigy two years later. The supporting artists for the upcoming show, scheduled for A

Pendulum was among the first electronic artists I listened to way back in high school. I started with “Blood Sugar” and “Painkiller” (which I later learned after saying goodbye to Limewire wasn’t even their original, they were just a feature) and then of course discovering their 2005 Essential Mix, Hold Your Colour, In Silico, and eventually seeing their final headline show in Los Angeles at The Wiltern in 2011. The group was a starting point and a pillar of my electronic upbringing and I wa

On April 4th, Brighton-based Australian vocalist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Penelope Trappes will release her fifth full-length album ‘A Requiem’. It comes alongside news of her signing to London imprint, One Little Independent Records. ‘A Requiem’ collects ten haunting, ambient soundscapes – incantations of dreams and nightmares, of death and grief, as well as power and autonomy. Carnal, transcendent cello drones are used to exorcise historical and generational traumas in an evocative

JS aka The Best offers a new way to approach percussion on Bossa Nova. Continuing his study of sound already shown in his countless commercial works, he takes on percussion in an emotionally charged fashion. Far away from the idea of a time-keeping device, he infuses the concept with the utmost of emotion. The result of this strategy is something that truly touches the soul. All of his pieces have this similar cadence, a looseness that is liberating. By refusing to pigeonhole himself into one st

Two titans of electronic music, Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox, have joined forces on a new banger called “Concentrate.” The track marks their first-ever collaboration and kicks off the year-long 30th anniversary celebration for Oakenfold’s iconic Perfecto label. Oakenfold and Cox have been friends and frequent touring partners since the early 90s heyday of raves and clubs. Cox was even signed to Perfecto back in the day. Though they’ve shared stages all over the world, including the historic Ston

In his latest single for NGHTMRE and SLANDER‘s label Gud Vibrations, Perry Wayne continues an epic story that he has been creating for quite some time. Bass music is one of the hardest subcultural subcategories to survive in, yet Perry Wayne has found his way through his sound design, dedication to his craft and distinctive melodies. Perry Wayne comments on this latest smash: ‘Mosh came around when I had felt frustrated with the state of humanity. I was hit with situations in my life that I ju
