Greatness can materialize at any age, and especially with prodigies, it materializes early. Miles Bonham, aka milesmusickid, has been garnering attention on social media since he was four and has amassed 550K followers on Instagram, but his latest video on TikTok, where he has 186.4K followers on an account managed by his parents, is going absolutely viral.

With soaring leads and cinematic depth, Kraken is both a dancefloor weapon and an emotional release, echoing Captive Soul’s vision of music with meaning. As the mythical creature stirs from the deep, so too does a soundscape full of tension, beauty,

L.A.-based DJ/producer Skellytn teamed up with bass veteran artist Boogie T for their highly-anticipated collaborative track, ‘Choppa’ featuring Gravity. Recently released on December 18th via Boogie T’s Drama Club Recordings record label, the track strongly emphasized the duo’s innovative music styles as it perfectly combines the auditory production talents of Skellytn, with Boogie T’s bass-heavy vibe. That combination then results in a bass anthem that has plenty of vibrant artistic layers and

Los Angeles’ own Skonka is back at it. This time, channeling his inner Pokemon trainer, sort of. He does so with his new track, ‘Purple City’, released on Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars. What makes this one stand out? He’s gone back to our childhoods and sampled the theme from Pokémon’s Lavender Town. Yeah, you heard that right – that slightly spooky, totally catchy tune from the game has found its way into a house and techno beat that’s as fresh as it is nostalgic. No stranger to the limelight,

Music fans around the world eagerly anticipate the electrifying performance of the iconic duo, Skream and Benga, at the prestigious Coachella music festival. However, their hopes were dashed when news broke that due to unforeseen visa issues, the dynamic duo would no longer be gracing the Coachella stage. Disappointment and disbelief spread like wildfire among fans, but amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged as Skream and Benga announced their determination to overcome the obstacles and aim

Not only have two of the most important figures in dubstep, Skream and Benga, announced a new album, but they're also sharing daily updates from the studio. After performing together for the first time in a decade back in the fall of 2023, the influential producers have been not-so-subtlety teasing their studio reunion. Now, they've officially confirmed a new collaborative album. In honor of this monumental work-in-progress, Skream and Benga created a joint Instagram account and have been regul

This is the first time the pair have co-released a track in over a decade Continue reading...

It’s been 10 years since Skream released his last dubstep tune, “Kingpin” with Friction, Scrufizzer, P Money, and Riko Dan. In 2013, he moved to DJing and producing more house and disco — so if you caught him on the Red Bull Discotheque stage at Hard Day of the Dead that year, you might have been a little caught off guard. But he’s been talking way more on social media about hopping back in with Benga, and he just played FWD>> at Printworks London. Now, Maryanne Hobbs at BBC shares that h

Yesterday, Skream released “Summoned,” his first solo dubstep tune since 2013. Over the past decade, the UK trailblazer has been making a name for himself in house and techno, though his name had already been well-enough established in his time as one of the progenitors of 140 bass music. Over the past couple years, Skream has done a number of throwback dubstep sets, including a b2b with Rusko at EDC in 2019, a throwback set at HARD Summer in 2021, and a surprise set at Do Lab at Coachella in 2

Released on October 22, 2010, Skrillex’s EP ‘Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites’ marked a defining moment in electronic music. Featuring nine tracks, including six originals and remixes by Noisia, Zedd, and Bare Noize, this EP showcased Skrillex’s ability to blend chaotic, bass-heavy dubstep with melodic elements. The title track, ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’, captivates listeners with a whimsical intro before plunging into a visceral soundscape, creating an electrifying experience that reso

Get ready—two of the most innovative artists in electronic music just dropped a big hint about a show they haven’t mentioned that will happen soon in San Francisco. Skrillex tweeted early this morning, “Fred and I need to try out way too much new music, so next week we’re going to throw a rave in San Francisco BRB.” But when this B2B “rave” will be? And where exactly this Skrillex and Fred again.. b2b will happen? Even though not much else is known about the supposed “rave” at this point, fans

On an X post that Skrillex made on Friday, May 24 (see below), he stated that he and Fred again.. “have way too much new music” to test out and then announced that they will host a rave in San Francisco. Shortly after, both Skrillex and Fred again.. uploaded their own respective posts on Instagram, announcing that tickets go on sale to the general public at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28. In their posts, the two EDM icons then included a Ticketmaster link so that the fans can visit it and obtain the

The last time Skrillex solo headlined Red Rocks in Colorado was in 2014 during his Mothership tour in support of his album Recess. Now, nine years later, after releasing two albums last month and having the commercially most successful period in his career thus far, he’s announced he’s returning. This is no typical Red Rocks show, however, as there are no openers — there are no other performers, at all, in fact. From door time at 7pm until the end at midnight, it will be all Skrillex. There mig

Across the two new Skrillex albums, Quest For Fire and Don’t Get Too Close, fans got a total of 27 tracks to dig into. Clearly, they kept digging and digging and digging as new data shows that Skrillex has 20 songs charting on this week’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, “breaking the record for most simultaneous entries in chart history.” Most of the tracks from the albums are now in the millions of plays, or if not then close approaching. If you somehow managed to avoid listening to eith

Skrillex is returning to Miami's Ultra Music Festival for the first time in a decade, he revealed on social media today. The dubstep icon revealed the news after Ultra's organizers wished him a happy birthday, writing, "See you in March." Skrillex's upcoming headlining set will be his first solo performance at the storied Bayfront Park festival in a decade. He DJed alongside Boys Noize under the duo's collaborative alias, Dog Blood, in 2019. Ultra has always been a playground for culture-definin

In 2023 so far, Skrillex has been far more active in both releases and social media than in any other similar time period in the past few years. We’ve gotten a new official Discord server for fans, four releases, including today’s “Real Spring” with Yung Lean and Bladee, as well as indications that he’s dropping two albums, DGTC and QFF. That’s a lot. But we’re now getting a better idea of what it all means with the release of “Real Spring” today. The biggest indication that “Real Spring” and
