If angels sound like this, we better quit sinning so much at festivals. For the past few months, fans on Discord and beyond have been clamoring for the release of a high-profile collaboration between Dimension, Sub Focus and NGHTMRE that had been emerged as a fan-favorite in each artist's live sets. The trio has now decided it's time for the rest of the world to hear the record, "Angel," which officially hit streaming platforms moments ago. As you would expect from artists of this caliber, "Ange

Rising stars SUBSHIFT and Basura Boyz have joined forces to deliver the most sinister tech house banger of the year. The UK-based SUBSHIFT, fresh off electrifying crowds at Tomorrowland and Ushuaia Ibiza, brings his razor-sharp production expertise to the table, while Chicago’s tech house maverick Basura Boyz (Nick) injects his signature acid-laced style into their collaboration “Disco Demon.” “Disco Demon” tears through speakers with predatory precision and unkind intentions.

Subtronics and Flowdan return with new single ‘Hunter.’ This is the first time the two have released a track since their first collab ‘Gassed Up,’ in 2022. Subtronics’ cutting-edge sound design, paired with the signature vocals of the famed UK rapper Flowdan, known for the hits ‘Baddadan’ and ‘Rumble’ means this is a guaranteed banger. The track already made its live debut at Subtronics’ sold-out annual Miami Music Week  ‘Deadbeats vs Cyclops’ event in March, and again at two sold-out Cyclops Ro

If you thought Subtronics and Rezz couldn't make their chilling collaboration "Black Ice" any better, think again. After teasing an updated version at Beyond Wonderland in SoCal earlier this year, they've finally released it with a stunning vocal contribution from Phantogram. While still feeling familiar, the track also feels entirely new as Phantogram's ethereal vocals float beautifully atop the song's gritty arrangement. The original version of "Black Ice" conjured a dark atmosphere that fans

After the resounding success of the instrumental version of ‘Black Ice,’ Subtronics and REZZ tap ‘Black Out Days’ creators Phantogram to elevate the track with powerful, yet deeply haunting vocals. The follow up to Subtronics’ remix of ‘Black Out Days,’ Phantogram continues to show their crossover-ability translating in the dance world. ‘Black Ice’ was premiered for the first time live, in front of 30,000 fans at Beyond Wonderland music festival in Southern California on March 23, 2024.

Subtronics, the dubstep superstar known for his cyclopean beats and mind-bending drops, is set to command the decks this summer at Wynn Nightlife for his first-ever Las Vegas DJ residency. The news marks a significant milestone for the genre in Sin City. Vegas has long been the playground of EDM titans like Tiësto, deadmau5, The Chainsmokers and Kygo, but it's rare for a dubstep artist to claim a residency in this bastion of mainstream dance music.

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

“Do It, To It” from ACRAZE, released on Thrive/Virgin a couple months ago, could be heard all around EDC this past weekend, from Zedd opening his set at cosmicMEADOW with a Squid Games mashup to ACRAZE himself coming out for Andrew Rayel’s set at kineticFIELD to premiere a new remix. The track could also be heard from bassPOD thanks to Subtronics, who played out his own flip of the chart-topping record. The original swerving house tune turned into a massive headbanger that had the crowd going w

With his latest release, Subtronics sets the tone for his much-anticipated debut album, Fractals. “Spacetime,” out now on the producer’s own Cyclops Recordings, builds softly with unexpected, melodic flair and standout vocals from NEVVE. Lush synths are soon overtaken by thrashing wubs, offering the best of both worlds — swelling with emotion before spiraling into heavy dubstep sequences. Subtronics explains, the song “was originally called ‘Las Vegas VIP’ then ‘Okeechobee WIP’ then at one poi

After a slew of hits and high-profile collaborations, it should come as no surprise that Subtronics stuck the landing as Beatport's top-selling dubstep artist of 2024. It was a banner year for the influential DJ and producer, who dropped colossal tracks like "Black Ice" (with Rezz), "Hallelujah" (with Wooli) and "No One Does It Like" (with Alison Wonderland). He also notably teamed up with John Summit and Tape B for a blistering rework of Sage the Gemini's "Gas Pedal," which became an immediate

With dates scattered throughout the summer, there are plenty of opportunities to experience the magic of Subtronics live in action. Subtronics, known for his unique blend of b

Subtronics and Galantis… two very, very different artists, yet the wonky dubstep producer has just put out a remix of the Swedish duo’s original smash hit “Runaway (U & I)” eight years after it first released online. Though, calling it a remix isn’t exactly accurate. In reality, the remix takes the intro melody and lyrics and then goes off into Narnia while the original is back in the UK. To the untrained ear, it doesn’t sound like any element whatsoever of the original made it into the dro

After over one year of production, the biggest Subtronics project to date has finally arrived on his own Cyclops Recordings: the debut full-length Subtronics album FRACTALS spans 16 one-of-a-kind tracks ranging from face-melting bass anthems to electro pop-adjacent cuts to leftfield experiments in sound. “I’ve wanted to talk about this album for so long,” Subtronics said. “I’m overly transparent about my creative process, so not being able to share it with everyone has been an adjustment. I wil

Is it any surprise that a marriage between Subtronics and LEVEL UP has resulted in a dubstep heater of epic proportions? Out now via Subtronics' Cyclops Recordings, "Power" lives up to its name. First debuted at a b2b set between the spouses at EDC Las Vegas, the track has already found immense popularity on social media and continues to serve as a fan-favorite in the live shows of each artist.

Rising Japanese duo SUDO debuts on Drumcode with the inspired Real World EP. The brothers Isao and Takashi — the former based in Berlin, while the other holds a forte in their hometown of Kansai-Kobe, Japan — have been grafting away at their craft for many years, never compromising on quality, while eschewing trends. Instead, they’ve patiently created and waited for their opportunity. Crafting a Unique Soundscape The journey of SUDO, consisting of brothers Isao and Takashi, is a testamen
