After a four-year hiatus, The Real Bros of Simi Valley are back. And this time around, they're getting a feature-length film. The Real Bros of Simi Valley: High School Reunion is underway at Roku, Deadline reported. The original film will follow the bros as their 10-year high school reunion approaches and attempt "to become the dopest versions of themselves" to show off in front of their former classmates. Produced by Studio71, the movie will reunite the cast of Jimmy Tatro, Cody Ko, Nick Collet

Drum & bass has functioned as the heart and soul of the UK electronic music scene for decades, but we've only recently seen it blow up in the United States. Why has its emergence taken so long? Enter Dimension, Sub Focus, Culture Shock and 1991 of WORSHIP, a supergroup of influential drum & bass artists redefining the genre for a new generation of fans. We caught up with the collective and their manager, Sebastian Weingartshofer, to discuss the genre's stateside boom—and its longevity wi

Exploring the fragile line between the genius and vulnerability of Avicii, director Henrik Burman has opened up about the emotional weight of his upcoming documentary, Avicii - I'm Tim. Due out December 31st on Netflix, the film is set to release in tandem with Avicii – My Last Show, which revisits the night he graced the stage of Ibiza's storied Ushuaïa club for what would be his final performance. Less than two years later, the DJ, whose real name was Tim Bergling, tragically died by suicide.

Daft Punk fans yearning for the futuristic soundtrack of Tron: Legacy are in for a surprise with the film's sequel, Ares, which will crank up the industrial intensity. The divergence from the duo's legendary Legacy soundtrack will soon manifest in the raw, cinematic style of Nine Inch Nails. Band members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are a fascinating pairing for the Tron franchise due to their innate, eerie ability to blend deeply visceral and machine-like elements in their music. The film's di

Ah, the afterparty. Where sleep is taboo, dancing is mandatory and the only thing between you and the brink of collapse is another Red Bull-vodka. Before the next time you walk outside at 9am and hiss at the sun like a vampire, you'll probably hear Rich DietZ's new single, "After Show." One of the year's best tech house releases so far, the track is a hedonistic testament to endurance, excess and the kind of nights—or mornings—where time ceases to exist.

25 years later, Darude's "Sandstorm" remains the delightfully unhinged gift that keeps on giving.  For anyone who remembers the "Sandstorm" era, it was an unstoppable force, sweeping through clubs, soundtracking countless gaming videos and living on as the internet's universal trolling answer to, "What song is this?" Now, an official remake by Sikdope has hit streaming platforms, recapturing that same boundless energy but amplifying it for today's festival crowd. Longtime fans of the original ma

In the twenty-tens, if you found yourself listening to artists like Rae Sremmurd, Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne, you were in good company. So did Tape B, the barnstorming dubstep and bass music producer who is channeling the nostalgia of their timeless hip-hop to cultivate his beloved "Old School x New School" style. Tape B's real name is Kemal Berk Alkanat, though he'll introduce himself as Berk since his first and middle names got switched in the midst of his move from Turkey at just three years o

Immersing us in her singular world of glitched-out, glitter-showered electronica, Ninajirachi has released a brand-new album, girl EDM. The virtuosic producer, one EDM.com's best artists of 2022, has been on a furious rise through electronic music's ranks.

Stephen Austin AKA Stevie Hyper D was a massive stage presence and musical pioneer, with a unique and pioneering MC style. After years of breaking boundaries under the radar, he finally signed to Island Records in 1996. But on the brink of success, at the age of 31 the pressures of relentless performing proved too much. A heart attack extinguished his potential, leaving a gaping hole in his family and the burgeoning jungle scene. Today his contribution to UK music culture can be traced from

Anyma debuted “Hypnotized,” his most recent joint effort with Ellie Goulding. Originally performed at The Sphere during his innovative “The End of Genesys” concert, the song speaks about the direction of electronic music itself, not only about a junction of two musical worlds. Right away, the song declared itself as something different from Anyma’s normal output. His unique sound design is still the same, but here the technique is more polished, more approachable, but no less powerful. Possibly

The ten-minute clip features his set at the Tallriken in Malmo, dated August 2016, and shows him performing four tracks: ‘Without You’, ‘Hey Brother’, ‘Shame On Me’, and ‘You Make Me’. The footage, initially an Avicii E
