Antman Ant is, by his own admission, nothing if not an OG raver so it’s not really fair to call him a “new artist.” He has, however, been sort of hiding his huge talent from the wider EDM world, so he’s new to us. Producing since well before the current generation of EDM fans were even born, his work is less about any sort of throwback style than a consistent evolution that’s moved in time with that of dance music at large. This means he can, and often does, draw on nearly 30 years of dance, sou

Over the last few decades, the EDM scene has witnessed the rise of enigmatic artists like Marshmello, Zhu, and Daft Punk, who captivate audiences while shrouding their identities. Now, the mysterious figure known as Disco Face is stepping into the spotlight, and the buzz surrounding this anonymous producer and singer-songwriter is hard to ignore.

One of the hottest and most unique new talents to emerge out of Jamaica’s fertile music scene, vocalist/songwriter Marcilli (they/them) fuses dance music, R&B and Latin pop into an irresistible brew on their new single, the defiantly incendiary ‘Done (Breakup Anthem)’. Inspired by the edgier bits of Billie Elish, Rihanna, Suga of BTS and R&B icon Daniel Caesar, Marcilli  is one of the first and few openly queer-identified Jamaican artists, coming out of a strict cultural heritage that of

Okay, so maybe the subtitle is just a very niche fantasy held by only the author of this article and some other vintage tech geeks, but a form of progressive electronica has been making its way through the ranks recently, and even more indie electronica acts like Gorillaz and Bonobo do take a couple of pages here and there from the prog rock book. That said, it’s likely not many EDM fans or even more experimental electro lovers would think to put the likes of Yes, Frank Zappa and King Crimson to

Insomniac’s premiere trance festival, Dreamstate, is getting even bigger and better this year, relocating to the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach. This will be the second Insomniac festival that takes over the space following two years of Day Trip.

In addition t

Los Angeles-based producer/DJ CHYL has just released her debut EP, Mini Motors, on Dim Mak. The five-track EP is a lesson in speed house; as you might surmise every track is played at a blistering tempo. However, despite the high BPM, speed house is undeniably fun, it’s impossible to not just hop around and get lost in the pulsating rhythm. Kudos to CHYL for mastering this craft. Featuring five stellar tracks and inspired by CHYL’s love of childhood toys, Mini Motors is an essential for any

Steve Aoki and Showtek are back with another massive, festival ready single, “Mirror Mirror.” Four years after teaming up on “Rave,” these two legendary artists are back with a darker techno single.

The plugin may be different, but the rhythms are undeniably Aoki and Showtek. Along with the stellar product

Oliver Heldens has been a busy man this summer; playing multiple sets at world renowned festivals and pumping out a steady stream of releases under two names.

The artist known to the drum & bass world as Moleman has always done things his own way. Releasing mostly on the grassroots label Fat Tape records since he began with this moniker in 2011, Moleman has lived up to his name as he’s generally shirked the limelight and big labels, preferring to do his own A&R and work with people who support his vision. Hiw music speaks for itself, however, and he’s still managed to become a household name in liquid D&B and is a favorite on Liquicity rad

The term “ambient” gets batted around quite a bit in electronic music, whether it’s to describe background sound design, a certain style of synth or melody or even the mood of a piece. There is, however, still a pretty strong self-defining ambient genre within electronica, though artists’ adherence to that format seems to be in varying degrees. On one end of the spectrum is meditation music or new age work that’s largely beatless and meant for relaxation. On the other end are acts like Moby, Eni

From the innovative mind of Melbourne-native Robbie Bergin, Throttle exploded onto the electronic music circuit at just 14-years-old, when he signed his first song.
