Actually, we’re a little late to the Moment party, as YEDM covered Mike Masch’s recent multi-genre project Back to the Boulevard a couple of weeks ago, when technically In Time, the album he released under Moment, dropped first. That said, it it was good to do a profile on Masch himself and all his different projects first in some ways, because there’s a much longer story there. Now that said, how did we miss this super-cool hip hop album? The aptly named In Time by moment released in early Oct

The blurring of lines between the worlds of rap and dance music is nothing new. Many of hip-hop’s first songs drew their inspiration from the rhythmic thump of dance music, flipping samples from songs that had the specific goal of getting a crowd moving. So it’s no surprise that the latest modern mutation of dance music—often umbrellaed under the ambiguous and argument-starting term “EDM”—has crossed over and even been absorbed into hip-hop. This type of cross-genre pollination is essential to h

Have you ever spaced out with a song on repeat, potentially for hours, and you look up and realize it’s been the same song? And yet, you’re not tired of it? That is “Technicolour Psychic Vision” from Flux Pavilion in a nutshell. After transitioning to a bit of a different sound in his 2021 album .wav, “TPV” is a welcome reminder of his Tesla sound from 2015 that had hits like “Vibrate,” “International Anthem,” and “Who Wants to Rock.” The repeated vox, hard guitar riffs, and Flux’s own vocals s

Two years ago today, Garrett Lockhart, better known as i_o, passed away. Only 30 years old, his career was really just beginning, having graduated from Icon Collective under the name Fawks and transitioning to more techno-leaning productions under his new persona. Today, in remembrance, in honor, in memory of i_o and his legacy and work, comes an album of work from before his death with Lights. Warehouse Summer, what would technically be considered his debut album, spans 14 tracks, with many of

As a musician, producer, and entrepreneur, Aric Christopher, aka MIRAMAR, has accomplished many feats in his life. The multifaceted DJ and producer is a self-professed “modern-day Renaissance man” who is adding more fuel to his fire by honing his musical skills and setting a new standard of perfection. MIRAMAR is best known for his innovative MIRAMAR sound, a new, refreshing sound that has been long-awaited by fans of disco house and nu-disco. It is an innovative take on disco house and nu-disc

“Rumble,” the collaboration between Skrillex and Fred again.. with Flowdan and Elley Duhé, has been, for lack of a better word, rumbling around in sets for a while now. The two have become so close of late so as to actually swap homes for some creative inspiration. We hoped that the collab would see the light of day eventually. But knowing the two main artists involved, who likely have hundreds of IDs and works in progress under their umbrella, we never wanted to count our chickens before they

G Jones has always been one of the most technically impressive producers out there. Every time he releases a track or project, that notion is more and more heavily reinforced, especially with his most recent album, The Ineffable Truth, as well as his recent mixtape with Eprom, Disk Doctors. This year, after taking a break during the pandemic with no releases since 2019, he’s put out five singles and two EPs, including today’s release of Illusory Tracks. Featuring his collaborations with Eprom,

It’s always a good feeling when three super talents link up on a smashing house tune. Vassy, Disco Fries and Bingo Players have done just that on the latest summer nostalgic track, ‘Pieces’. Linking up on the infamous Spinnin Records these 3 put together a track with crisp vocal production, clean grooving basslines and a massive hook. This track is definitely spinning all day until summer 2023. Enjoy!   This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Vassy Joins Forces with Super Tale

Rezz has gone from rising midtempo producer to legitimate headliner in the time since her first release in 2015. Combining her unique branding, relatively transparent personality on social media, and her hypnotizing live sets, it’s really no surprise. One of her biggest supporters since the beginning has been deadmau5, and though the two have appeared on stage together before, like at North Coast 2021, there hasn’t yet been an official b2b between the two. That seems like it’s set to change nex

Sullivan King’s next album, Thrones Of Blood, is officially due out March 2023, as announced with his first single, “The Dead March,” with Ray Volpe. Now, he’s back with the next single, teaming up once again with Wooli for “Let Me Go.” The two have paired up once before, releasing “Don’t Forget Me” on Monstercat. Sullivan King and Wooli seem to have found a formula that works in their releases, pairing Sully’s voice and an anthemic, melodic first section with a heavier drop, leading into anoth

Music in the digital age has been dominated by streaming services, making it easier than ever to listen to new music. But for all its convenience, the platform lacks musicians with the talent and charisma to make them memorable. Jovian, a fast-rising recording artist, signed to Sha Money XL (former manager of G Unit Records), is changing that. In case you missed it, this guy is hot right now. Having your single backed by Sha Money XL, the driving force behind Travis Scott’s “Owl Pharaoh”, i

Getting your music to reach a wider audience and go viral is not easy in the highly- competitive music scene. While the modern social media-driven industry has made it easy for artists to release their music, this doesn’t create an opportunity for any song to dominate the airwaves. Musicians still need to creatively tap into their authenticity to release not only a classic hit but also a timeless tune that people can easily relate to. This is the art executed by some musical legends, includ

Neil Nines continues the output and quality control that’s made him a DJ & Producer to watch in the DMV music scene. He’s hit us with a slew of dope releases this year, including his recent banger of a remix to Mighty Mark and Rodney Hollywood’s “The Floor Is Ours.” Nines is also making a name for himself as a community staple as someone who is passionate about connecting dots with other artists and bettering his music scene as a whole. This time around, Nines (who recently started working

Eric Anders and Mark O’Bitz are a prolific indie folk/Americana duo who have produced some of the most interesting and beautiful work the genre has seen in the last four years. With the harmoizing aptitude of Fleet Foxes and the like but the post-punk grit of Tom Waits, these two artists are well-known by those of us at YEDM who follow such circles, but we never thought they’d end up featured on YEDM. We should never underestimate the innovation of a good artist, and the newly remixed versions o

For well over a decade, Kim Sane has been a fixture of the techno scene. With a deep emphasis on adaptability, his works are of the digital variety. His emphasis on the digital is twofold – firstly a digital audio workstation takes up far less space while touring, and secondly because it allows for a great deal more range and adaptability. The experimentation he takes on involves the cross-pollination between different genres of techno, from the breaks to progressive house. Such a range results

Taylor Swift set some serious records with the release of her latest album, Midnights, including holding every spot on the Billboard Top 10, the first person, man or woman, to accomplish the feat. (Drake held nine.) So when we saw she was coming out with remixes of “Anti-Hero,” the single that held the top spot, we were curious which top-tier EDM artist she would end up tapping. Not Marshmello, not The Chainsmokers, nor David Guetta, Zedd, or DJ Snake, but ILLENIUM walked away with the plug and

Coming off his debut album release, Seven Lions releases a special VIP version of his cult classic collab with Kill The Noise, “The Blood,” from 2019. The haunting track delves into three distinct drops of heart-pumping psytrance, head-banging dubstep and elements of techno. For the VIP, Shadow Cliq was brought on to add an epic rock guitar solo to amplify the original, while each drop is switched up, either to be made more intense or to completely alter the flow of the track entirely. The fina

In computing, the function ctrl+alt+del most commonly brings up the task manager, an operating system component that gives a user access to some of the computer’s most internal processes and information. Here, you can inspect hardware usage, add/remove programs and processes, look up app history, and more. In short, it’s the not-so-secret window into your favorite electronics’ soul. The Glitch Mob have been a pillar in electronic music for over a decade, and their influence on live show product

When I first saw ISOxo live at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, his first headline show along with Brownies & Lemonade, I was immediately indoctrinated into the ISOxo faith. The energy that crowd had was unlike anything I remembered in recent years and it wouldn’t be much of an understatement to say it reinvigorated my love of dance music again, or at least trap, like renewing one’s vows. That show was October 16, 2021, and 13 months later, one of the biggest tracks of that night is fi

Russian producer, DJ and composer Blind Mutation continues to flourish as a composer and DJ while releasing music/videos. She’s released a variety of long mixes on Soundcloud capturing different styles and sounds within techno and experimental electronic music. Her biggest influences are Aphex Twin, Arca, Clams Casino, Hans Zimmer, I Hate Models, Jon Hopkins, Clint Mansell and Svarog, which explains her impressively wide array of musical talents. She’s truly an exciting artist to watch who’s cre

As one of Italy’s finest DJs, Tommy Mambretti is a renowned veteran in the music industry. At just 15 years old, he started mixing at the most prominent Italian clubs, such as Covo Di Nord-Est in Santa Marghertia Ligure. Fueled by his passion for music, Tommy ended up living and working in Miami for 15 years, taking in all the new trends and styles of house music.  He recently returned to Italy, deciding to launch an artistic project of his own. Tommy went big for his debut, teaming up with est

With her nomination for best vocalist this year at the Drum&BassArena Awards, Floanastasia has officially become one of the most prolific vocalists in D&B. With a versatile vocal range and style, the classically trained Canadian artist has worked with the likes of Mefjus, Neonlight, Nymfo and Jack Mirror in 2022 alone. We may not have seen it coming, but it certainly makes sense that the quiet killer known as Pythius would want to hook up with her for his latest Blackout release. Out to

Taylor Swift has been steadily dropping remixes of her hit “Anti-Hero” off her latest album, Midnights. So far she’s done a version with Bleachers, as well as remixes from Roosevelt, Kungs, and Jayda G. Tonight at 11:59p ET, ILLENIUM gets a crack at the song along with an acoustic version out, as well. Right now, the song is available for purchase for $0.69 on Taylor’s official web store until it’s out everywhere tonight, if you really can’t wait that long. We were curious and $0.69 isn’t going

WAVHART have certainly caught Reid Speed’s attention with his unique mix of classic rave and modern jumpy beats and neuro-glitch synths. In fact, since his first genre-melding and mind-melting remix of Reid and Dr. Apollo’s “Aion” in late 2020, he’s released almost exclusively on Play Me or Play Me Too. With multiple singles on both labels through 2021 and 2022, it only makes sense that WAVHART’s debut breakthrough EP, To the End would be released on Play Me Too. To the End is a three-track sna

GORDO, recently crowned the world’s highest ranked Hispanic by DJMag, has just been announced as the headliner at the Brooklyn Hangar this New Year’s Eve in New York City. The event is a collaboration between Elements Festival and DEG Presents. The evening will also include sets from Golden Pony, Papyon, and more. Following a year of highlights, including being crowned #1 producer on Billboard’s Hot 100 producers, by producing nearly half of Drake’s ‘Honestly Nevermind,’ and selling out shows i
