Alison Wonderland launched FMU Records in December last year, and the fresh label is already putting out some very interesting music, including sumthin sumthin’s latest single, “Take Me Home.” Out everywhere tomorrow is a new track from the label with a new artist, “Fuck Right Off” from Aliiias. Aliiias already had a hit in 2020 with “Mess With Me,” a Robert DeLong-esque, softer tune with 2.2 million plays. However, his new release on FMU is very different. Coming in at a tight 2 minutes and 39

Excision and Sullivan King has become a pairing that fans will love no matter what, and they have a brand new collaboration — their fifth, so far — for fans to latch onto. “Fall Apart” is the latest single from Sullivan King’s forthcoming album on Monstercat, Thrones of Blood, due out next month. “‘Fall Apart’ really quickly became one of my favorite tracks for the record, mainly because it has this really raw nu metal/2000s rock influence to it, which is something I definitely grew up on and l

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

The discussion around AI has become increasingly prevalent over the past year, with the advent of many AI image generation services like Midjourney, OpenAI’s DALL-E, or ChatGPT. AI services, in a way, have been used for a long time but they’re now becoming more intelligent and, more importantly, more open to casual users. Spotify, the leader in music streaming, is now joining the fray with a tool they’re calling simply: DJ. This isn’t the first generative playlist Spotify has launched, but it’

Random Access Memories, the final studio album from Daft Punk, was released May 17, 2013, almost ten years ago.

When Zedd bought his extravagant Beverly Hills mansion back in 2018, he had a grand time showing everyone his sparkling new property. Initially purchased for $16 million, the 9,400-square-foot house has plenty of open space, high ceilings, and all the amenities you could wish for. “He even has a room he calls his ‘Costco’ room for the specific purpose of stockpiling enough things that he never has to leave his house,” Your EDM wrote. Toward the middle of 2021, after adding about 1,600 sq ft to

For the last two and a half months, most of the electronic music community has been consumed by Skrillex and his unrelenting domination over the news cycle. He was dropping singles every week, announced an album, announced a show at Madison Square Garden, sold it out, dropped the album, played a show in Times Square, played the show at MSG, dropped another album mid-show. It was unavoidable. But from the beginning of the year we’ve known that there is so much more. Beyond the albums we know and

Championing the next wave of emerging talents, Frequency is establishing itself as a powerful player within the independent label space, having just launched a custom YouTube Content ID system and expanded with a new publishing arm.    The tastemaker imprint’s early days date back to 2013, when founder Kelvin Ruijters noticed a lack of availability of royalty free music online. Aiming to tackle this problem and provide the next wave of creators with music they could use without the fear of cop

2023 seems to be the year of breaking the mold. That couldn’t be more true with the release of this new collaboration “Twisted” from Hardwell and Will Sparks. If a collaboration from these two came out 5-7 years back, it would most likely sounded like a mix of synth-blaring big room house with the rubber-band beat and bass line of a Melbourne bounce tune. But in current year, both of these artist’s are in very different places. For one, Hardwell took a massive break from touring and signaled hi

David Guetta has expanded his Future Rave sound to incorporate bass house titan Marten Horger into their latest single “The Freaks.” Featuring a blending of Guetta’s iconic future rave energy into a more condensed bass house package, “The Freaks” is a tune that is sure to have everyone grooving on the dancefloor. Every time they hear this song, the freaks come out. Featuring a dark, distorted vocal refrain, acid-like synths and a bassline that’s made for the afterhours, “The Freaks” is a track

Dutch big-room masters Bassjackers are back with their first EP of new music in more than four years, Les Pays Bass.

It’s testing what sounds the ne

Multi instrumentalist, producer Ryan Farish presents “Embers and Light,” a 14 track chill electronic album, mixing digital with the sound of the violin, for an ethereal listening experience. What makes the album special is the inspiration behind it. Farish says the album was created during an intensely inspired season for him, during which he reconnected with the very first instrument he learned to play as a young musician, the violin. In addition to the violin, Ryan also used Moog’s reissued M

Skrillex just dropped his first album in nine years, Quest For Fire, yesterday. The same day, he, Four Tet, and Fred again.. played an unannounced pop up from a school bus in the middle of Times Square in New York the day before their show at Madison Square Garden, which they announced three days ahead of time and sold out within three minutes. Just now, while the trio are literally on stage at one of the most iconic venues in the world, he surprised us all with the release of his second album, 

LA-via-Cleveland artist DJ Topgun presents the first single off his upcoming EP ‘City of The Freaks,’ out March 17. “Fire” is a sizzling four-alarm stew of classic house music. Dark and sweaty vibes, it brings the heat while setting the tone for what to expect next. The EP was inspired by the city of Los Angeles, a place known for the glitz and glamour, along with rough edges. DJ Topgun’s LA experience is at the center of the concept behind ‘City of The Freaks.’ “City of Freaks is the story o

Whenever we hear of a new remix of an old classic, we’re always excited to hear, especially when it’s coming from  NYC-based DJ and producer Martial Simon. He’s got a knack for creating infectious grooves and uplifting house vibes, making it only fitting he’s taking this on. Martial’s rendition is a modern, energetic spin on “Super Trouper” by the 1970’s superstar group ABBA. It whirls you back in time to the glory disco days during the verses, that builds seamlessly among crisp percussion and

When the unmistakable rhythm of House in the night clubs met with the organic sonority of groovy african percussions, a new sensation was born. It didn’t take long for Afro House to skyrocket from South Africa and take over the dance floors all around the world. Therefore, it’s worth remembering the agents who made it all happen. From legendary names like De Capo and Louie Vega to the new kid on the block, the Brazilian Maz, we selected a 5 artists that should be on your radar for 2023. Black C

Manic Focus is yet another electronic artist from Denver who has crafted his own unique style – defined by a hybrid of electronic, funk, soul, and hip-hop – has helped the producer cultivate a fervent fanbase captivated by his immersive studio trickery. He’s performed at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Wakaan Festival, and has had multiple opening slots at Red Rocks in support of Zhu, Emancipator, Pretty Lights, and more.

In 2022, newly-minted, genre-bending outfit LVNDR.SOUND made bold musical statements and embedded its mark on the Denver music scene.

Gaining support from artists such as Deadmau5, Dillon Francis, Alison Wonderland and many more, Moises Godoy, musically known as NOISES, is a West Coast Producer & DJ with a wide variety of cycle-worthy records under his belt since his breakthrough in the electronic music scene.  His music is immensely creative, and it’s no surprise he’s now earned Zeds Dead’s stamp of approval to release his latest single “Find Me” on their new imprint, Altered State. This intoxicating deep house track is

It’s always a treat when you manage to catch an artist in their growth phase. Seeing their hard work begin to come to fruition, their talent blossoming, gaining recognition from both peers and fans — it’s rarer than you might think, as so many people only tend to find artists after they’ve hit their prime. When we put ROSSY on our Artists To Watch in 2021 list, she had only released a couple handfuls of singles, but the recognition was growing. She had gone from tens of thousands to hundreds of
