Audio plus energy equals bass music, especially when it comes from Audigy. The South Florida producer and DJ has been on our radar for a hot minute and continues to catch our eyes with his growing repertoire of action-packed tracks. On his latest endeavor, Audigy takes a swing at “Chasing Devils” from Conrank and Buku. The original track from Conrank’s 2021 album The Simulation’s Breached features a bouncy beat that turns into drumstep ferocity. Audigy steps in and takes the tempo into a slower

Following up his highly successful debut album 1000 Faces, melodic bass heavyweight Jason Ross is back with his second artist album, Atlas. Expanding on his previous achievements as a producer, Atlas is a new chapter that sees Jason Ross showing off his prolific skills as he drops melodic bass, dubstep and trance. On top of the album, Jason is kicking off a massive North America tour that will feature his biggest show to date at the Hollywood Palladium. We recently had a brief chat with Jason a

If you weren’t at HARD Summer last month, you might have missed that Insomniac dropped the lineup for Escape, North America’s largest Halloween festival. Featuring some of the biggest names in dance music, Escape will have multiple stages dedicated to the best in EDM from main stage, bass, techno and house. This year’s lineup features heavy hitters like Alesso, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Marshmello, Kayzo, Oliver Heldens and a special Deorro b2b Valentino Khan set. Taking place at San Bernardino’s

It would seem J’Moris took a bit of a break after releasing his most recent LP, Moris Better: Loveless Confessions, as he usually releases pretty rapidly. Singles seem to just flow out of this Texas rapper at least once per month, but it’s always good to give the creativity a rest after a big release, and Loveless Confessions was, indeed, big for J’Moris. On Spotify, nine of his ten current most played tracks are from that album. His latest single, “Being Humble,” released late last month, howev

Early Saturday morning local time, high winds in Spain at Medusa Festival caused part of the main stage to collapse, resulting in one death and more than 20 injured. After winds exceeding 51 mph were clocked, the main stage was evacuated but many apparently stayed behind against the official orders of staff and organizers. Pitchfork reported, “Of those injured, three suffered serious trauma injuries and 14 experienced minor injuries, according to regional emergency services. Reuters notes that

KEETZ follows up his Terminal EP strong with the project’s grittiest cut to date, “Blight.” This particular production has remained one of KEETZ’s best kept secrets until now. A hidden gem lurking in the shadows just waiting to be unleashed — and that day has finally come. “Blight” thrives in a grungy, electro house realm. The first drop is simple yet effective, featuring a clean, pumping kick matched with persistent synth work, a killer bassline, and various intricacies to fill out the mix. S

Having started in the EDM blog world back in 2014, I know a thing or two about throwing shade. If you think EDM Twitter is bad now, it was the actual wild wild west with plenty of producers, fans, and even promoters unafraid to throw shade any which way, warranted or not. Now, things have become a bit more tame — but SoCal duo Koastle are bringing shade back with their new song, “Literal Goals.” Fed up with the mind games and superficial aspects of modern-day dating, Nashville songwriter Jake N

When “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi came out in 2002, I was 11 years old. I was in 6th grade. Now, 20 years later (yes, I’m aging myself here), the song has left an iconic mark in dance music history along with other singles like “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit” or “Better Off Alone.” 20 years after the release of the genre-defining single, Benny Benassi and David Guetta have joined forces to give the legendary beat a new lease on life. Revitalized for the modern mainstage, the newest rendition

I can’t reliably estimate the number of years I’ve heard Wuki’s edit of Vengaboys “We Like To Party” mixed with Yo Majesty’s “Club Action,” but thankfully I don’t have to. (It’s been five.) Turns out, the parties (pun intended) have been working behind the scenes to craft an official release — and it’s out today. The edit has been a staple in Wuki’s own sets, but it’s also been played out by the likes of Zedd, DJ Snake, Afrojack, Skrillex, The Chainsmokers, Valentino Khan, and pretty much every

Despite working together and around each other in the same world for over two decades, Armin van Buuren and Gareth Emery have never put out a collaboration. That changes today with the release of “Forever & Always,” which also has the added bonus of bringing the authentic Owl City, Adam Young, onto the track. (It also helps to make up for his misguided “All Star” remix.) “Forever & Always” is peak classic trance with pounding kicks and a beautiful melody with charming, albeit cheesy, ly

After having followed him for two years and through a number of permutations of releases, one thing we at YEDM can say about 1st Base Runner (Tim Husmann) is he never ceases to surprise. Never skimping on quality, the Austin songwriter and producer has run through loads of styles and subgenres, not to mention labels, release structures and distro. Now settled on his own Souvenir Sound imprint, His latest EP Light Roars is still filled with loads of surprises, different styles and heavy emotion.

Robin Schulz has been accused of stealing elements of his new song “Miss You” with Oliver Tree from rising producer southstar, who released a song with the same name, same sample, and seemingly same production (even the same track length) three months prior. A rework of Oliver Tree’s “Jerk,” “Miss You” initially released by southstar on May 9 has been discovered in playlists and major live sets ever since. Exploding in Germany and rippling globally, southstar’s “Miss You” landed in Spotify’s Vi

Impromptu back-to-backs at festival afterparties aren’t unusual. When you have so many artists all in one city — typically without a flight to the next gig or home until the following morning — they’re left to find something to do after their sets. And a popular choice is often to find another DJ’s show and hop on the decks with them. Generally, genre lines are adhered to. Dubstep will find dubstep, house will find house, etc. But if you’re multigenre artists like Zeds Dead, who though they rea

When you think about it, it’s not such a wild idea that there would be a collab track from Korsakov Music label manager AL/SO and the notorious imprint wanderer Tengu. It’s not just because Tengu’s Virtual Reality EP, one of his first drops after he switched from bass house to D&B, was released on Korsakov Music, either. Both producers love their bold, brash synths, both play fast and loose with their sound design and, above all elese, they both know how to make a track that kicks the dancef

HARD Summer returned to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino this past weekend for its 14th(!) edition and its first ever foray as a 3-day festival. Boasting a stacked lineup featuring some of the biggest names in dance music and hip-hop, this year’s HARD was one for the ages. The stages were epic, the layout was friendly and convenient, the vibes and energy of the crowd were off the charts. Despite the sweltering heat and humidity over the weekend, Insomniac made sure that all it’s headliner

North Coast Festival is returning to the greater Chicagoland area this Labor Day weekend for what is sure to be a massive weekend of dance music. Featuring artists like Armin van Buuren, Illenium, Porter Robinson, Seven Lions, Diplo, Fisher, and many more; there’s truly something for everyone on this lineup. To commemorate the festival, Seven Lions and his Ophelia Records label have created a specially-curated North Coast Playlist on Spotify. Ophelia fans will no doubt be familiar with the labe

Joining “Wake Me Up” and “The Nights,” “Waiting For Love” becomes the third track by Avicii to cross the 1 billion stream threshold on Spotify. “Waiting For Love” was was released on May 22 2015 as the lead single from Avicii’s second studio album, Stories (October 2015). “Wake Me Up” became the first song for Avicii to cross one billion streams back in February 2020, followed by “The Nights” in March 2022. This would make “Waiting For Love” his second song this year to achieve the billion mil

Arguably his biggest single to date, TVBOO proudly presents ‘Bass Music,’ the lead track from his forthcoming debut LP, Blue Collar Bass: By the People, For the People. A high energy, danceable collaboration with funk headliner GRiZ, the two find common ground within their distinctive sounds, creating a one-of-a-kind hybrid of catchy, upbeat freeform bass. With a memorable sample leading into the climax of the single, ‘Bass Music’ has already proved to be a highly requested fan favorite. “GRiZ

When you talk about globally legendary music venues, Amnesia has to be part of the conversation. Originally opened in 1976, it’s gone through its fair share of updates over the years and now ranks among the world’s best venues, choosing not to rest on its laurels. This year’s closing party will be hosted by a similarly legendary musical act — The Chemical Brothers. Amnesia is the perfect setting for a Chemical Brothers’s DJ set thanks to its cutting edge production, world class sound system and

Eric Prydz shows have always been more than just about the music, but the whole, encompassing experience. From his EPIC shows to his HOLO shows, he and his team always bring the most innovative and creative technology and advancements in live show programming and set design to the table. Now, Prydz and Tomorrowland are teaming up to bring HOLO to the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, at approximately 17,000 capacity. The announcement reads: “Prepare for an incredible holographic show with state-of-the-

Hot off the massively popular house record ‘HYPNOSIS,’ ero808, the ever eclectic singer-songwriter, producer and performer has released a 3-person remix package and Shöckface Inversion for his single ‘BLACKHOLE.’ The remix pack features the likes of Buzz Junior, smalltalk, and Frost. Alongside the release of the remix pack, frequent collaborator Shöckface has also released an Inversion to BLACKHOLE with an entirely new set of artwork. Each take on BLACKHOLE showcases each producers unique and e

Budding 18 year old producer AILOW is back at it again with his new release ‘Noise’ on Austin Kramer’s new imprint record label TBD. This high energy bass house banger is Out Now on TBD, a subsidiary of Blanco Y Negro. Fresh off a release with Dim Mak’s imprint, New Noise, AILOW is a relatively unknown producer you should be keeping an eye on. You can also snag a limited copy of the release as an NFT through RCRDSHP. Stream ‘Noise’ below. This article was first published on Your EDM. Source:

Blunda is one of those artists for whom the “New Artist Spotlight” tag is a misnomer, as he’s been making music longer than most of YEDM’s punters have been alive. Starting young as a classical pianist, Andy Blunda played guitar and keyboard in the high profile indie bands Fastball and Paloalto in the 90s and early 00s. After that, Blunda stayed active in Hollywood, composing soundscapes for movies and television until he got the inspiration to go solo in 2014. With a distinctive style both in h

BUKU Music + Art Project was originally founded in 2012 in New Orleans and has consistently been one of the premiere festivals in the southeast region in terms of experience and curation. Each year, the festival has brought something new and exciting to the table, whether it was art within the festival grounds or an act or artist or special collaboration that was rare and unique. Unfortunately, it’s unclear when exactly we might get to experience BUKU again. Yesterday, the festival announced an

Last night in New York City, a once-in-a-lifetime party happened. Just a week after Fred again..’s legendary Boiler Room set, the phenom hosted a pop up at H0L0 for a two-hour back-to-back with Swedish House Mafia following the release of their collaboration, “Turn On The Lights again..” (which was played somewhere between 4-5 times throughout the set). Space was incredibly limited at the small venue, especially with the Boiler Room-esque arrangement and the vibes, from what we’ve seen and hear
