Skrillex celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday with some insightful and revealing tweets about his mental health. According to him, 2022 was the toughest year of his life as he finally found himself coming to terms with the death of his mother back in 2015. “My mother passed away a few years back 2nd day of [Lollapalooza] tour in SA,” he wrote. “I never ever coped with it … I drank the pain away and kept going.” While the pandemic was certainly hard on many people for a variety of reasons, i

In recent years, Greek electronic dance music has been on the rise, and Panagiotis Amorgianiotis has been at the forefront of this movement. He is well-known for his skill on a variety of instruments, including the guitar, drums, and piano, and for the fresh perspective he offers his listeners. Amorgianiotis lists artists like Eminem, NF, Drake, and Lil Peep as inspirations, but he doesn’t just want to sound like them. He has a fixed idea of what he wants his music to sound like, and he hopes

So far, this week alone, Coachella, Sunset Music Festival, Escapade, and Bonnaroo have all dropped lineups for 2023. Yesterday, North Coast joined the fray with a formidable lineup of their own, and the first so far for Marshmello, who’s been seemingly absent on lineups lately. Marshmello, Zeds Dead, Flume, Alesso, Ganja White Night, and Alison Wonderland are billed as headliners for the weekend, with other stage closers including Liquid Stranger, DJ Snake, Gigantic NGHTMRE, Duke Dumont, Lane 8

The Chainsmokers have been pumping out pop/alternative music for the past few years, their albums So Far So Good, World War Joy, or Sick Boy almost more pop than electronic. However, every group has their roots — The Chainsmokers team up with Cheyenne Giles and Spinnin’/Musical Freedom for the club-ready single “Make Me Feel.” It’s a fresh dive into contemporary house music, as the guys lay down a sultry groove, rich in percussion and spacious sound effects, reminiscing an old-school ’90s sound

Having already teamed up for “Lights Go Down” and “Shake,” Zeds Dead and Jauz once again team up, this time featuring Australian singer/songwriter Nicole Millar, for their new single, “S.O.S.” Compared to the previous two collaborations, “S.O.S” is definitely far more subdued and mellow, forgoing many of the huge bass moments for more of a ballad. Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Zeds Dead and Jauz team up for third collaboration, “S.O.S” with Nicole Milla

“A Milli” by Lil Wayne might be one of the most iconic, and frequent, samples played in DJ sets to add a little hip hop flair. It’s been remixed and bootlegged to death, but — incredibly — there has never been an actual, honest to god, “official” remix of the hit single until now. SIDEPIECE, the duo of Party Favor and Nitti Gritti, who’ve earned critical acclaim from industry tastemakers and DJ peers alike, are the first to ever officially remix the classic record and the result is nothing shor

Quackson caught Your EDM’s attention way back in 2018, leading to him being included in our list of 40 artists to watch in 2019. Since then, he’s been steadily putting in the work with stellar releases, and some of those demos must have finally hit the right note with Rezz as she’s brought together a stellar team, including the iconic Wreckno, for their new single, “Gyrate.” “Rezz was the artist who first inspired me to start producing, so this is a crazy full circle moment and I couldn’t be ha

Diego Druck was born and raised on the tropical island of Florianopolis, known for its strong DJ culture and notorious music beach clubs included on the itineraries of top world-class DJs. This vibrant scene captivated him at a young age, providing inspiration to create his own sets and work on his own original music. He’s worked hard in his young career and is now a regular at those same beach clubs, lighting up dance floors with his energetic, non-stop DJ sets. He’s pretty talented in the stu

Although his project began only two years ago, South Korean artist 4URA has already made a solid impact on the global electronic scene. From the mind of Gyumin Han, 4URA specialized in electronic pop production, but his versatile talent allows him to fuse multiple genres together. He has put out music for renowned labels, such as Mrsuicidesheep, Trap Nation, Proximity, and Elysian Records, garnering over 13 million streams on Spotify alone, along with features on the platform’s top editorial pla

It’s been four years since Holy Ship! last sailed the open sea, having since transformed to the land-locked Holy Ship! Wrecked in Mexico, an all-inclusive festival at Cancun’s best resorts. Now, Insomniac is announcing a brand new festival on the ocean as EDC goes mobile with EDC Sea, lovingly truncated to just EDSea. EDSea was first teased yesterday on Pasquale and Insomniac’s socials, as well as launching their own social media profiles with a thrilling teaser of boat activities and make-up’d

It’s barely been six months since Moore Kismet dropped their debut album, UNIVERSE, which we named our #7 album of 2022, and already they have their mind set on 2023. SEE EVERY COLOR is the title of their newest mix, a showcase for 2023: “2023 is gonna be one for the books!!! this year, I don’t want you to just see one side of me. I want you to see every color. new music coming super soon, but here are some of my favorite things I’ve been working on for the last 6 months. ily all sm.” The mix

Following the successful launch of FMU Records at the tail-end of 2022 with Jon Casey and Dabow’s “I Surrender,” Alison Wonderland shares the sophomore release from the label, “Transport God” from her widely-acclaimed alias Whyte Fang. The single doubles as the fourth offering from her upcoming debut LP, with previous records “Girl,” “333,” and “TIDES,” teasing its highly-anticipated March 2023 release. Alongside the release, FMU Records has confirmed the date and lineup of its official label

Calvin Harris is hitting a few US festivals this year, including Coachella which announced yesterday, as well as Hangout Fest in Alabama in May. He just released his latest album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2, last year — despite featuring even more guests than the first iteration, the sequel to his hit 2017 album didn’t garner quite as many positive responses. That being said, we have reason to be excited as he’s back in the studio with Ellie Goulding. The two haven’t worked together since his 2014

As a vocalist, Ruth Royall has been a fixture in the drum and bass world for a good many years. She made a splash with her first collab on the track “Refuge” with Grafix in 2019, becoming a fast Hospital favorite and a go-to for other big labels like Viper, Shogun and sister label Elevate, Korsakov and Soulvent. She’s worked with more big names than we van even list here, from the afore-mentioned Grafix to Ekko & SIdetrack, Pola & Bryson, Makoto and Mollie Collins. Royall’s discography

It’s that time of the year, festival lineup announcement time! Massive US festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo just dropped their full line ups, but, maybe you’re looking to go international this year. If you’re looking for an affordable international festival featuring a stacked lineup in a beautiful foreign locale, look no further than Balaton Sound. Taking place from June 28-July 1 on the idyllic shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary, Balaton Sound is one of the most renowned open-air beach fes

Six years ago, Porter Robinson and Madeon presented the finale of their ‘Shelter’ tour at Coachella. Now, Porter returns to Coachella on his own having toured his ‘Nurture’ show for a couple years with yet another finale on the horizon. Porter Robinson released his sophomore album Nurture in April 2021, waiting until just before things opened up during COVID to begin touring his new album. It has since been nearly two years, much shorter than the run for his Worlds album and right about the sam

The Chainsmokers have a bit of a notorious persona in the music industry. Though their antics have calmed down significantly, when they first started, they were definitely the party boys of EDM, especially considering their meteoric rise after “#Selfie.” But then came “Closer” and “Roses” and then their debut album… now they’re one of the most successful touring acts in the world. That being said, they still retain some of that laissez-faire attitude, as we find out on the latest episode of Cal

It’s a great week for lineup announcements, with Bonnaroo and Coachella already dropping their lineups on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Today, we get yet another lineup, this time out of Escapade in Ottawa, Canada. The lineup is stacked with a large variety of artists from house to bass and in between. Alesso, Afrojack, deadmau5, Excision, Infected Mushroom, Zedd, Rezz, Subtronics, Zomboy, Tiesto, Marshmello, and more make up a pretty hefty assortment of headliner-level acts, with plenty m

Already a fixture in the Australian bass music scene, Doctor Werewolf has been releasing dubstep and trap since 2010. Starting in 2014, he caught the ears of the likes of Simplify., Dim Mak and Disciple for his dubstep, so he’s become a bit of a mucky muck in that genre as well. It was Play Me label head Reid Speed and Skellytn, however, who discovered Doctor Werewolf’s hidden aptitude for D&B and conscripted him to remix a track on Skellytn’s Neurocomputer Remixed album, which released in M

We thought Monday, we thought Tuesday… apparently the lineup was stuck in drafts. Coachella has announced its 2023 lineup with Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean tapped as headliners for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, respectively. Also coming back to the desert for the first time since 2016 will be Calvin Harris, making him the biggest EDM act on the lineup, billing-wise, for the festival. Other notable EDM acts include The Chemical Brothers and TESTPILOT on Friday, as well as Alison Wonderl
