Coachella may only be just a little more than two weeks away, but the annual desert festival will have to scramble as Sunday headliner Kanye West has decided to suddenly pull off the lineup, confirms the Los Angeles Times. As some might remember, he threatened to do so back in February if Billie Eilish didn’t apologize to Travis Scott for a post in which she said she waits “for people to be OK until I keep going.” The accompanying video showed her stopping her concert to wait for stage crew to

Yung Bae is at a turning point in his music career. The Portland native began dropping sample-heavy disco/future funk albums since 2014 and has been on an upward trajectory revitalizing and spearheading these genres and their sounds. But with his latest record Groove Continental: Side A, Yung Bae has taken a different approach that includes an emphasis on original songwriting and huge collaborations with Jon Batiste, AWOLNATION, EARTHGANG, Channel Tres, and more. He took these new batch of trac

The outpouring of help and support to the Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded in late February has been truly astonishing thus far, both in Europe and abroad. With round-the-clock asylum centers set up in Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia and Romania, donation centers for food, clothes, personal products et cetera trucking supplies into Ukraine daily and thousands of citizens opening their homes to asylum seekers in neighboring countries, everyone has shifted into help mode a

Back in 2010 when I first started listening to dubstep, Never Say Die was the first real label that I found that was putting out what I liked. Among the likes of SKisM, Zomboy, Dodge & Fuski, there was also Mobscene, 501, Eptic, Habstrakt, Bar9, Foreign Beggars, and more who have at one time or another released on the label. NSD began to gain notoriety around the time of Zomboy’s Game Time EP in 2011, with The Dead Symphonic proving a formidable follow up the year after. But label head SKis

NOISIA is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Even more accurate is they’re the guest at a party who is trying to leave but keeps bumping into people before they can get to the door. The trio announced their imminent breakup in September 2019 and a Farewell tour to go along with it, but COVID got in the way of that. The tour was extended into 2021, and then again into 2022. Now, we’re learning that they have one final send off before they take their final bow: a new album. Split The Atom, the

If you’re a crypto fan and have been wondering when festivals will get on board implementing it on a larger level, look no further, because Electric Zoo today announced that tickets will be available for purchase via crypto ONLY. Beginning Monday, May 2, 2022, they will only accept the following cryptocurrencies for ticket purchases: Bitcoin, Ether, USDT, BNB, and Solana (SOL).

Shallou‘s career continues on an upwards trajectory with his ability to wow the world with his skills in the studio and on stage. Coming off an extensive fall tour with multiple sold out dates from Los Angeles to New York City, Shallou continued to make waves in 2021 with his The Long Way Home EP which was held in high regard by just about everyone who listened. Recently, Shallou released the ‘Long Way Home Remixes EP‘, featuring an impressive array of artists, including KC Lights, Sultan &

Producer, DJ, and living embodiment of energy Will Sparks returns with a new main stage track. The latest release on Armada Music, “Say It Again” is a no-holds bar big room heater that is a contender to be a go-to for a lot of artists on the festival circuit this season. “Say It Again” is Will Sparks adding another heater into his growing arsenal of high-octane tracks. The reverberating bass and the thumping kick are infectious for the dance floor. This is the ideal song for the rowdiness of a

Grabbitz has never been one to stick to the status quo. When he released his debut album, Things Change, in 2017, we were at the height of the future bass movement, with rock vocals and instrumentation only just beginning to break through into electronic music. (With the popularity of Sullivan King or Kayzo nowadays, you wouldn’t think it.) However, his own musical history and love of rock heavily influenced his productions and led us to his new release, Time Isn’t Real. On the surface, the alb

A producer, DJ and sound designer based in Essex, Klasey Jones has always been inspired by his love of video games and soundtrack music – everything from Sony’s The Last Of Us series to GTA Vice City. Meticulous in learning the ropes of sound design, developing a rich, deeply idiosyncratic sound palette all of his own in the process, his hours behind the boards have – up to this point – often done much of his talking for him. Ethereal by design but also intensely visual, his music rapidly won fa

Born and raised in Croatia, San Pacho is a immensely talented artist who keeps making the right moves at the right time. After launching the project only 3 years ago in 2019, he’s signed songs to Confession, UKF, Dim Mak, and others. His releases are commonly incorporated with genres such as tech house / club house, all of which hits a sweet spot that is hard to directly describe. Artists like Tchami, 4B and dozens of other staple DJ’s can’t get enough of it, giving it their nod of approval and

In his latest single for NGHTMRE and SLANDER‘s label Gud Vibrations, Perry Wayne continues an epic story that he has been creating for quite some time. Bass music is one of the hardest subcultural subcategories to survive in, yet Perry Wayne has found his way through his sound design, dedication to his craft and distinctive melodies. Perry Wayne comments on this latest smash: ‘Mosh came around when I had felt frustrated with the state of humanity. I was hit with situations in my life that I ju

Exciting news has arrived from one on NYC’s top-tier EDM festivals, Electric Zoo. The festival has a reputation for creating extravagant and outlandish annual themes created with intelligent artistry like 2015’s Transformed, 2019’s Evolved, and last year’s Supernaturals. There has been anticipation building to see what this year’s theme will be, and today EZoo has announced it will be 3.0. EZoo says to “think of it as a system update. The value and importance of community is higher than ever, c

Do LaB has established itself as an essential facet of the Coachella experience, widely known for its interactive crowd environment and the colorful structures of its transcendent stage along with the celebrated acts that perform on it. Their musical lineups perennially bring in legendary electronic acts alongside next generation rising stars. Familiar favorites will take center stage, such as pioneering UK producer and DJ Skream, electronic trio and Do LaB regulars The Glitch Mob, mysterious e

Nearly ten years on from when he performed one of the most electrifying performances at perhaps one of the most influential electronic music events in history, Hardwell returned to the stage at Ultra Music Festival to make history with arguably the most anticipated return show of 2022. In Autumn 2018, after more than a decade of playing the biggest festivals on the planet, Hardwell announced he would be taking a sabbatical from touring. So his emphatic return on Sunday night, his first officia

The enigmatic electronic-pop maestro Claptone has been all of the buzz lately. His iconic Masquerade event took place during Miami Music Week and featured a massive lineup with Claptone, LP Giobbi, James Hype, Ferrick Dawn, and the legend Fatboy Slim who all left the instagram story feeds saturated with their dazzling sets. He just completed his highly anticipated B2B with Brazilian tech house star Vintage Culture that rocked Ultra Music Festival’s main stage. Through all of this excitement, he

Having Ultra Music Festival back has felt so good so far, but alas, all things must come to an end. Today is the final day of the flagship musical festival in Miami but it isn’t about to end without a bang. Today’s live stream features tons of incredible acts including Kill The Noise, Armin van Buuren, SLANDER, Seven Lions, Zeds Dead, as well as the SPECIAL GUEST headliner at the main stage. Rumors are it’s Hardwell, so you don’t want to skip out on it and find out you missed it. The live strea

Apart from remixing his own “Blame Myself” with Virtual Riot on the Fallen Embers deluxe album, it’s been quite a while since we’ve had an original heavy banger from ILLENIUM. The last few all saw him teaming up with Excision for “In My Mind,” “Feel Something,” “Gold (Stupid Love).” Last night as he closed out the Ultra main stage for the first time, he dropped a brand new, unreleased banger that reminds us for all the pop and love songs he puts out, he can still go incredibly hard. The song is

The first day of Ultra kicked off yesterday and kept fans busy the whole day with a variety of stages and flavors of music to choose from. For those of us at home, approximately eight hours of live stream footage kept us glued to our device of choice while Ookay, Sullivan King, Timmy Trumpet, SVDDEN DEATH presents VOYD, Martin Garrix, Pendulum, and more shook our speakers. Day two begins today with Mykris on the live stream, followed by a lot of really, really short sets between 10 to 30 minute

Five months ago, Kygo released a new song, “Undeniable” with X Ambassadors. It was okay. But I had some thoughts — read here. Now, in March 2022, Kygo just headlined the Ultra Music Festival main stage for the first time and I think I can confidently say it’s not what anyone expected. It was dark, it was vibey, it was fun and fresh. It was not the Kygo we’ve known who would play piano (though he did bring it out eventually) and keep the vibes relatively low key. Of course, there’s something to

This week marked the debut release of “Chopper,” the debut single from the hottest whales in the metaverse- DJ duo Krill Bill. ​​When DJ Dale the Whale and Willy Freeze met in Alaska at a young age, they knew their friendship would take them far and wide, but no one imagined the two would be taking over the metaverse party scene at such an unprecedented pace. Krill Bill’s debut single “Chopper” is the result of long days and nights at the beach sipping wine and making beats — in their underwate

A triad of talent has aligned to create an epic cover of an iconic song, Hyper, Jack Trammel, and Sam Matlock (of Wargasm) have all joined forces to render something that does justice to the original while bringing a balance to all 3 of their styles under one production. Out via Position Music, this tune is an absolute banger all things considered and fits to many moods   On the one hand, the structure of the release fits with bass music culture, yet the vocal work fixates on a vibe that is mu

His music has been widely received, pulling over 100k streams via DSP’s in under 6 weeks.
