As we near closer to the winter in the US many artists have begun to hibernate and hold off on releasing new music until the new year starts. As we near closer to months of November and December many artists have stopped releasing in anticipation of having an explosive beginning of 2023.  Other have not curbed there heavy output of releasing incredibly good new music. From Fred again.. to ILLENIUM and Sickick all have been releasing some of there best music now! Release Spotlight Fred again.

We’re getting a new ILLENIUM album. As today’s new song, “Worst Day” with MAX appeared on Spotify, it was bundled with a few of his previous recent singles, “From The Ashes,” “All That Really Matters,” and “Shivering.” The same thing happened as Fallen Embers was nearing release. Nothing has been officially announced yet, to our knowledge, but the signs are there. As for “Worst Day,” vibe wise, it shares a lot of similarities with “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion. The pop influence on

Since Seven Lions first released his Polarize EP on Viper Recordings in 2012, fans knew there was something special about the Santa Barbara-born melodic dubstep producer. Of course, at the time, melodic dubstep wasn’t even a thing, coming to light during the heyday of brostep and the murmurings of trap in the US. By the time he released Worlds Apart in 2014, however, Seven Lions had amassed a devoted following and ‘melodic dubstep’ was up and running, thanks to others like Illenium, MitiS, Skru

With only eight days to go until Second Sky, Porter Robinson has finally revealed the special guest replacing Fred again.., and it’s none other than Skrillex himself. When the festival first debuted with two days in 2019, G Jones ended up unable to make it either day and it seemed like DJ Potaro was filling in on Sunday until the costume came off and revealed Skrillex underneath. It’s ironic that he is, once again, filling in for an artist who became unable to play the festival. Although, this

What is there to say about British electronic duo Orbital that hasn’t already been said? The two are easily one of the most influential acts in the electronic music space. Captivating tracks like “Impact (The Earth is Burning)” and “Chime” still transport listeners back to the 90’s rave era. Meanwhile, their mostly improvised sets still strike their audience with awe and energy. Even with 30 years later, the brothers continue to create new music and ad-lib their live performances in stunning fas

With a forward thinking approach in sound design and production, PRBLM CHILD is an up-and-coming duo who has been making big waves throughout the house music community. Via groundbreaking percussion sounds and groovy basslines, the pair has released their work on prime bass house labels, such as Bite This!, Gold Digger, and Uprise.

The Night Tales project has been nearly a decade in the making. One half of the duo, Aaron Bannie was born in the U.K. before moving to Ibiza, where he learned how to mix and play on vinyl. He would later relocate to Australia in hopes to elevate his own electronic project, Third Floor. Kamaliza Salamba is an Aussie native, and also had his own career in music prior to Night Tales. He played in various bands, in addition to his own R&B electronic project, Kamaliza. The two connected via a b

Without exaggeration, Noisia are one of the best to ever do it. With two decades of experience performing and producing around the world, and providing inspiration to innumerable other producers, their absence will be painfully felt. After announcing their imminent dissolution in 2019, plans for a farewell tour were delayed by the pandemic. However, they’ve finally come to the end of the road, playing an epic 2-hour set at Lowlands in their home country of the Netherlands this past August. Foo

Much like during the pandemic when many artists were being outed for sexual assault, this week has seen many more come to light following the accusation of Mize. Yesterday, the Atlanta-based producer released a lengthy statement addressing not only the initial accusation that began this reckoning, but also responding to an old Reddit post accusing him of giving another woman a black eye. He also provided “evidence” supporting his side. In the hours since, more stories of sexual assault

Get ready to drizzle some mad and smooth tunes over your ears with some of Brunel Wekho’s awesome work as he’s gaining more and more followers at lightning speed on many platforms like Spotify. His EDM music offerings are a big hit, with Wekho having a history of working with many top record companies in Europe. His latest signing was in 2018 with Belgian Record Company CNR Records. This allowed him to write, produce, and work with artists like Cleymans & Van Geel. He’s also worked alongsi

Portland based producer Will Vance is no stranger in the Melodic House & Techno genre. He’s a wizard when it comes to this style of music with an uncanny ability to create arrangement that seem to fill your soul with emotion and peace. He recently released his single “At Least We’re Safe“, signed to David Hohme’s prestigious Where The Heart Is imprint. It’s yet another beautiful track, glistening with bright melodies as a soft piano and thumping beat guides you down the path of this unforge

Let’s get one thing straight: the indie synth pop mainstay that is Jenn Vix is only new to the moden EDM aesthetic. Nearly virtuosic on the synths and bass and a post punk-style lyricist, Vix has been producing goth-edged music since 1995 and it well-recognized for her work in the larger music scene. Having worked with some of the best-known indie stars and producers of the 80s, including members of The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs and Adam and the Ants, her debut self-titled solo album in 1995 re

Two Sundays ago, a little over 3,000 people crowded into the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate the tenth anniversary of one of the most beloved albums in electronic music, Clarity by Zedd. The debut album from the German-Russian/American producer featured some incredible and long-lasting hits including “Shave It Up,” “Spectrum,” and of course the title track, “Clarity.” The deluxe edition also included the hit “Stay The Night.” When the show was announced, I was immediately skeptical of

Swedish House Mafia have not had the greatest track record on their current tour, with plenty of shows being cancelled early on due to rumored low ticket sales, though the group has not admitted as much. Now, five more shows have been cancelled due to irreparable damage to an “integral” part of their production. “Since the incident,” the trio wrote on an Instagram story, “we have looked at all solution and unfortunately need to cancel all the upcoming shows until the gear can be replaced.” The

San Holo never ceases to amaze us with his artistic and creative endeavors. Most recently, he has joined forces with SoundMint, led by Andre Benz (founder of The Nations & Lowly), which is a leading generative platform for digital music collectibles, to create the “Floating Fragments” collection. Consisting of individual, unique music art pieces – “fragments” – produced entirely by San Holo, the project is another innovative leap in SoundMint’s quest to refine music’s future via Web3 technol

PowerhouseDJ BIGMOO released his much anticipated single, “Running From Love.” Moving in a high-energy direction, the electricity in the track is far from lost. BIGMOO exuberates non-stop creative chemistry with his fellow collaborators Sevenn and Sarah de Warren. The celebrated electronic music artist has demonstrated consistency in connecting with his audience and executing vibrant and unique records from a career standpoint.

With a stacked project from G Jones and Eprom coming this year, there’s never a dull moment in the dance music. Sit back, relax or continue doing whatever you are doing and stream Your EDM

Mize, a semi-popular dubstep DJ/producer, is currently being read his rights by past contemporaries and fans after @emdelhoops on Twitter came out with accusations of sexual assault against him. Her caption and statement alleges that Mize initiated a cease and desist against her prior to her revealing her story. “Towards the end of the night everyone was going to bed and I was falling asleep alone on the couch. Ian [Mize] had gone upstairs but came back down to invite me upstairs with him and h

Born in the Southwestern countryside of the United Kingdom, Tutara Peak is the creative genesis of producer and songwriter, Harvey Carter.  Teasing the birth of the project in early 2020 with mission-driven single “Daydream”, the single was released in support of the UN Refugee Agency, and has since garnered upwards of 1,000,000 streams on Spotify alone. The official launch of Tutara Peak arrived in 2021 by way of “Raining Teeth” with Little Snake via Flying Lotus’ lauded record label Brainfeede

There are few plays quite as iconic as The Phantom of the Opera. It began its run on Broadway back in 1986, earning acclaim not only for the play, but also the music, composed from the brilliant mind of Andrew Lloyd Webber (Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats). It was clear to see that the show was so ahead of its time from the outset – a true pioneer of immersive theatre – with a continuing spirit of reinvention. In this spirit, a plethora of producers

Based in Charlotte, NC, Disckull is steadily cementing himself as an exciting name to watch with his high-energy sounds and unique style, and the industry is starting to notice. Since the talented producer kicked off his career back in 2017 with “Like That,” he has been able to sign his tunes to industry-leading labels such as Dirtybird, Box of Cats, Country Club Disco and Do Not Duplicate. In early 2021 Diskull achieved massive acclaim with his “Bodies Rushing” remix on his own label, Groovy Bo

A staple of his fever pitch live sets, “Work My Body” is the latest and greatest from Baltimore’s DJ Allure, and in our opinion one of his dopest yet. Allure says the record is already frequently sought after by his rapidly rising and highly engaged fan base: “Work My Body is one of the most requested songs I have. It literally gets requested every set I play. I’m super excited to finally share this officially with the world. I know that Work My Body will be a staple for years to come.” The

It really feels like Marshmello has exited the general EDM zeitgeist as of this year, despite releasing half a dozen new songs. Much of that is due to the fact that he seems to be focusing more heavily on hip hop collaborations lately, teaming up with Khalid, Tokischa, Rico Nasty, and Trippie Redd. His latest collaboration, out today, sees him teaming up with Juice WRLD for “Bye Bye,” another generally uninteresting release with autotuned vocals and an incredibly simple beat that is less than t
