It’s been nearly a full year since Subtronics released his debut album FRACTALS back in January. It’s almost poetic for him to begin the year with his debut album and essentially cap it off with the remix and VIP album, a full circle moment. ANTIFRACTALS features ten VIP versions from himself and remixes from the likes of Virtual Riot, Peekaboo, Wooli, A Hundred Drums, and more. Subtronics says, “‘ANTIFRACTALS’ is the follow-up VIP and remix album to ‘FRACTALS’ which dropped last year. It incl

The incurably optimistic Joey Stiver encourages everyone to take a listen to his latest track fittingly titled “Never Leave”. Pure positivity reigns supreme on the piece, neatly dovetailing it into his quickly growing discography. Another example of his “each project is different” philosophy, this one has a distinctly retro flair to it, though the lyrics hint at the contemporary longing for the past. Due to his refusal to be pigeonholed it is a delight to see his journey through so many differe

Since 2016, Your EDM has endeavored to feature 40 completely new artists, every year, that we believe will achieve great things the following year. As of this year’s list, that means we have previously featured 280 unique artists over the course of seven years. The list has evolved in its early years from simply “which big artists have albums to look out for next year” to “who are the smaller artists that are doing something exceptional,” meaning we have had the opportunity to feature an incredi

You’ve heard of spaghetti Westerns, but how about dubstep Westerns? GRiZ and Zeds Dead take huge influence from the classic Western sonic motifs in their new, and first, collaboration, “Ecstasy of Soul.” If it seems impossible that the Denver artist and Canadian duo haven’t collaborated yet, you’d not only be wrong, but actually lucky that you’re here to listen to the first one ever. The track first debuted in September 2021 during the first-ever Zeds Dead B2B GRiZ set at Goldrush Music Festiva

1tbsp is a side-project by Australian artist Maxwell Byrne (aka Golden Vessel), who has developed an addictive sound around this project.

Hearing Kaskade and deadmau5, together, drop “Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff” at the LA Memorial Coliseum twelve years after the last Electric Daisy Carnival there was an incredibly nostalgic moment. But it was not the only thing that made the LA-debut of Kx5 special. 50,000 fans descended into downtown Los Angeles this past Saturday, December 10 for the first ever headlining show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with electronic music act Kx5.

Already a multi-instrumentalist and singer, Ward has released a series of tracks in the run up to the release of her debut album, Ribbon of Water, due out in late January. Inspired by Nordic folk and experimental pop artists like Bjork and Glass Animals, her sound is rich and genre-neutral. But is it electronic?

Almost four years ago, in March of 2019, The Prodigy frontman Keith Flint unexpectedly died. The band took an extended hiatus after the fact, only exacerbated by the global pandemic, but slowly but surely started to come back with some smaller shows. Now, as we approach the new year, EXIT Festival in Serbia has revealed their lineup for 2023 and the influential electro-punk band will make its first return to the festival stage. As the band’s founder Liam Howlett explains: “EXIT is our favourite

Leave it to the legendary brotherly duo, Orbital, to flip an old nursery rhyme into a hypnotic club ready track. They recently announced their 10th album ‘Optical Delusion’, due mid February, and paired the announcement with their sizzling techno-punk single, “Dirty Rat” with Sleaford Mods. Now, the boys are back, this time linking up with noteworthy UK musical ensemble The Mediaeval Baebes for “Ringa Ringa (The Old Pandemic Folk Song)“. It’s a chugging, cyclical Orbital groove that locks you i

Ahead of tonight’s historical headlining show at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Kaskade & deadmau5′ Kx5 have released yet another thrilling single from their forthcoming debut album. Teaming up with Elderbrook, “When I Talk” also receives an enthralling music video. “The song is about barriers.

When it comes to club music, DYLN is a staple for the function, stepping onto thescene in 2016 with heavy jersey club edits and a mixtape on Soundcloud thatinitially catapulted him into internet virality. Alongside over 60 Million plays, multiple cosigns, and two world tours including an appearance for EDC Las Vegas, DYLN has shown his gutter sound since his debut with genre bending records for the masses.

Mallrat released “Wish on an Eyelash” as the lead track from her album Butterfly Blue earlier this year. It was a mere 58 seconds long. But now, she’s teamed up with The Chainsmokers for Pt. 2, a sequel and an extension of the original. The first 58 seconds of the sequel are pretty much identical to the original, then, as you might guess, Drew’s voice comes in and the song becomes a soft duet. Sonically, the collaboration mirrors The Chainsmokers’ latest album foray into a LoFi sound, but it al
