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.

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

In 1996, drum and bass legend Peshay (Paul Pesce) crafted “Studio Set 1996”, a mix that has become a cornerstone of electronic music history. For decades, this mix has become a time capsule of jungle’s golden era and has inspired artists, generations of producers, and acted as a gateway to the genre. Its 3.8 million YouTube views weren’t just numbers, they represented a living archive of a genre that shaped rave culture worldwide. But in 2025, this piece of history was erased twice by wrongf
