Swiss artist Wassay is making waves with his debut single ‘Embrace’, a house music gem guaranteed to get you grooving instantly. While this marks his official debut as a recording artist, Wassay has long been captivating audiences with his high-energy DJ sets and feel-good vibes. A sought-after DJ both in his native Switzerland and internationally, he has shared the stage with industry heavyweights like Michael Grey, Yves Larock, Jenn Getz & Alfie, Igor Blaska, and eSQUIRE, earning a reputat

Colorize has a truly hypnotic release with all the stars are in the right place. The ‘Solace‘ EP is the result of Wassu, Phonic Youth, and Axenity working together with spiritual forces to create two transcendent songs that will put you in a state of pure aural bliss. The first track is called “Solace,” and it’s a beautiful composition between Wassu and Axenity. Smooth pads and jumbled synths wrap you up in a warm hug right away. There is a smooth flow to the music that rises and falls with you

Revival and comeback trends seem to have a knack for lingering longer than expected. And I have to say, Sabrina Carpenter‘s viral hit “Espresso” embodies that perfectly. Although, it’s hard to blame anyone for wanting to ride this wave. Especially when bearing in mind the song has dominated pop culture for nearly a year now. For instance, Tommy Cash, slated to represent Estonia at Eurovision, just dropped his coffee-themed track “Espresso Macchiato.” It seems like a clever move, tapping into the

Upon returning from my vacation in Norway, I couldn’t help but wonder if Raj, who generously took the reins updating the blog during my absence, had shared his thoughts on the “Hotbox” video, the latest offering from Lil Nas X. Especially since it’s no surprise that this multi-platinum, chart-topping, and award-winning artist has once again captured the internet’s attention. He boldly embraces his pink era, yet manages to put a unique twist on it that stands far apart from the traditional twee p

I want to draw your attention to the fantastic news that the indie-pop trio Autoheart has released new music! With the announcement of their highly anticipated fourth album, “Heartlands,” they have shared the lead single “Sad Divide.” This title perfectly embodies the signature melancholy that Autoheart fans adore. It’s a powerful track that holds the potential to resonate deeply and become a standout hit. I truly appreciate Autoheart’s lyrical dialogues. They effectively highlight important top

Not to put any more pressure on you up-and-coming DJs, but 10-year-olds are coming for your jobs. LC Danger has been DJing since she was just seven years old. Catching on quickly, she's gained hundreds of thousands of online followers interested in seeing her compete with DJs who've been around decades longer.  Now, she's been recognized by the NBA's Detroit Pistons, who invited her to perform during halftime of their 2024-2025 season home opener against the Indiana Pacers. Her sounds may have p

The iconic French duo, AIR will played their widely celebrated album Moon Safari in its entirety for the first time across Europe including a night at the Royal Albert Hall. Celebrating its 25th-anniversary last year, the release of Moon Safari catapulted Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel to the uppermost rung of electronic music’s ladder and left an indelible imprint on pop culture at the end of the 20th Century. The album birthed hit singles in ‘Kelly Watch The Stars’, ‘All I Need’ and

Over the weekend at Coachella's Do LaB stage, Alison Wonderland and Kaskade sparked a technicolor dream for dance music fans by previewing their first collaboration. It was the type of surprise that may have been mistaken for a mirage in the desert of Coachella. However, it was hardly anything of the sort. Alison Wonderland and Kaskade indeed delivered a surprise b2b set that resonated like a pulse through the veins of the Do LaB stage.  Despite their distinct soundscapes—Alison's emotive, bass-

When you have a festival going for three straight weekends, like Tomorrowland just did, you’re bound to have some truly spectacular moments happen quite spontaneously. One such moment happened during 3 Are Legend (Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, & Steve Aoki) on the main stage on Weekend 3 as the trio dropped “Mammoth,” one of DVLM’s biggest hits. In the video of their set, just uploaded on Monday, at 44:24, you can see what looks like every single firework being set off all at once in a remarkab

What is it about playing center in the NBA that turns you into a DJ? By now, many of us are familiar with the electronic music career of Hall of Fame NBA center Shaquille O'Neal, fans of whom affectionately call DJ Diesel. Now enter 7' 4" Houston Rockets star Boban Marjanović, who stands tied with two others as the NBA's tallest player. After releasing a techno track, "I Just Wanna," this summer, Marjanović recently performed a supersized DJ set during this year's "Rave The Planet" parade. A mas

After returning to Ultra Music Festival for the first time in over a decade, Calvin Harris has shared his full Sunday closing performance. Anyone who's seen the hit-maker headline a festival knows that beneath his shimmering synths and catchy hooks lies a deeper emotional resonance. That came out in droves at Ultra, where his crescendoing finale tied a bow on a weekend of carefree abandon in Miami. In a festival flush with surreal moments, Harris' spectacular Mainstage performance was an undenia

Carl Cox has shared his full Burning Man 2024 DJ set for Mayan Warrior, his first-ever performance for the beloved music and art collective. Black Rock City was a living organism when Cox took the decks, turning the playa into an electric sunrise birthed from the ashes of tragedy. The iconic Mayan Warrior art car had been destroyed in a fire and rebuilt as the dazzling Galaxyer before debuting at last year's event in the Nevada desert. Cox performed as the sun kissed the horizon, throwing down a

Charlotte de Witte ran it back in New York City, throwing down at an electrifying pop-up rave. The Belgian techno superstar last took over the streets of Manhattan in 2023, when she offered fans a surprise block party. Days before a 2024 headlining gig in Brooklyn, de Witte returned in partnership with the clothing store Extra Butter, with whom she shut down Orchard Street for a free show on Thursday. Beatport recorded the performance and has now uploaded it to YouTube so fans can tune in from a

Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre recently transported us to the vibrant world of LSZEE, whose jaw-dropping stage production and space-bass soundscapes delivered a debut for the ages. CloZee and LSDREAM delighted the electronic music community with the release of last month's debut self-titled album, LSZEE. Then, they sold-out a doubleheader at Red Rocks to showcase their hypnotic, collaborative sound. Their performance on the first night is now available to watch in-full on YouTube. The

Creamfields, the biggest electronic music festival in the UK is back, and with it, a massive 3 days live stream. Starting tomorrow, Creamfields will livestream three stages, including the brand-new Zenless Zone Zero stage, Eric Prydz, and more. But, how to watch the Creamfields 2024 live stream? Let’s find out. In association with Beatport, Creamfields will bring the festival to fans’ living rooms for the official Rockstar Energy presents Creamfields 2024 Live stream broadcasting from Friday 23

DJ Snake threw a curveball at this year's Coachella, striking a chord with festival-goers by bringing out hip-hop icon 50 Cent in a groundbreaking set that bridged electronic dance music with old-school hip-hop.  Euphoria swept through the crowd as 50 Cent performed 2003's "In Da Club," a track that has become synonymous with hip-hop excellence over its 20-year reign. The energy surged as they followed up with "P.I.M.P," turning the festival atmosphere at the Sahara tent into a block party of ep

There's nothing quite like the feeling of hearing a brand-new track debut live at a music festival. At this year's Coachella festival, surprise guest Peso Pluma joined DJ Snake onstage to perform their new collaboration, "Teka." An instant crowd-pleaser, the song has already amassed almost 300,000 plays on Spotify. Now, they've released the official music video. The video for "Teka" gives a whole new perspective on the tried-and-true musical "car test." In the video, directed by Benjamin Mege, S

Electronic music legend Jean-Michel Jarre became the first-ever passenger to ride in KleinVision's groundbreaking flying car in a move the company called "a new era of transportation with a touch of magic." That's according to Stefan Klein, an inventor, pilot and the Founder and CEO of KleinVision. The company's AirCar, which transforms from a sports car into a plane in minutes, was certified to fly in 2022 and its proprietors reportedly hope to bring it to market within a year. "We are bridging

Some songs are built for the dancefloor, others for the quiet corners of the soul. Ellie Goulding's acoustic rendition of "Hypnotized," her collaboration with Anyma, bridges both worlds with astounding clarity. "Hypnotized" released after its viral premiere during the DJ's historic Vegas Sphere residency. Goulding performed the melodic techno track live as a stunning visual engulfed the crowd, her face contorting while a swarm of otherworldly hands clawed and twisted her features.

A wholesome moment between two Australian legends was caught on camera at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games. Thanks to her incredible swimming performances, Alexa Leary has been making waves—literally and figuratively—at the Paris sporting event. The Australian athlete broke the world record 100m freestyle time twice within 24 hours, according to Yahoo Sport Australia. Seeing as she's the new world record holder, Leary, of course, picked up a gold medal win for her performance in the pool.

While uncovering and sharing set recordings is common in the Aphex Twin fandom, his latest performance might be his most exclusive yet. The enigmatic and deeply influential producer recently took over DJing duties at his friend's wedding, according to multiple reports. Whether or not he played "Cha Cha Slide," however, we're unable to confirm. Aphex Twin is often known for his unconventional, brazen approach to electronic sound design, but beneath his aggressive tracks lies some of the most b

The sun rose and set to Skrillex's command over the weekend at Lollapalooza, where the dubstep icon transformed one of the festival's most beloved stages into his own adult playground. Sporting a new name atop its towering truss, the iconic Perry's Stage transformed into "Sonny's Stage" and trembled under the weight of Skrillex's sonic bookends as he opened Saturday with a noon set under the Chicago sun before closing the night with a thunderous encore at 8:15. A curated lineup of his friends an

It’s been impossible to evade or avoid Skrillex this year. On top of two albums (and two more to come), his work with Four Tet and Fred again.. has made the three of them a force of nature, something to be reckoned with and impossible to predict. They sold out Madison Square Garden with only days’ notice, so of course it would only make sense to call upon them again when Frank Ocean pulled out of his duties as Coachella headliner on weekend 2. Call them tba, Pangbourne House Mafia, whatever
