Following Kendra’s five Top 10 dance hits including “Self Control”, Kendra Erika is a force to be reckoned with in the pop/dance space at the moment. Today we have the priviledge to share her latest release, ‘Rapture’ “Rapture”. Co-written by Ronnie “CHICO” DiCicco (JLo, Kristine W, Rihanna, Britney Spears) and produced by DiCicco sets the bar even higher for the dance pop singer-songwriter and we are proud to share this powerful track to her growing and developing portfolio. Expect emotional bu

We don’t get a whole lot of breaks submissions at YEDM anymore, but when we do it’s great to see them from artists like Keith MacKenzie, a name synonymous with the rise of the Florida breaks scene in the 90s and 00s and one of the original architects of progressive breaks full stop. He also happens to be a big part of this DnBoomer’s origin story, so when fellow OG Reid Speed handed over Play Me‘s most recent remix EP for her single with AIRGLO and Metric Man called “The Spark” out this Friday,

Few acts have been at the forefront of modern dance music like Showtek has been for over a decade. The production duo of Dutch brothers Sjoerd & Wouter Janssen have been through many cycles of the dance music industry. From their early days producing UK hardstyle tracks, to their massive mainstage anthems like “Booyah,” “We Like to Party,” “Bad” and “Cannonball;” Showtek have ridden the industry rollercoaster and have emerged as heady veterans. Like the rest of the world, the Janssen brothe

ARC Festival is back with a colossal new lineup after making a splash in its inaugural year in 2021. They are, once again, showing fans why Chicago is the birthplace and home of House music with a distinct flock of eclectic, melodic, and heavy-hitter selectors. Further binding its name to the story of the House genre, ARC’s sophomore year is sure to continue the trend of giving attendees an experience that will envelop their senses, both visually and auditorily. Some of the mainstage slots ar

SEXPAYS is very talented in the studio and it shines in his music. His previous single, “Love“, fused together nostalgic house rhythms with a fresh twist. His latest single is no different, as “BANGBANG” offers funky house elements to groove backed by an infectious bass line. An intentional and pronounced retro atmosphere is at the core of “BANGBANG,” boasting an all instrumental feel. SEXPAYS does use a bit of looped vocal to up the flavor of the release – the melodic work brought forth from t

Spring is upon us, and that means more festival announcements. If you happen to be in the midwest in early June and fancy motorsports, then we’ve got the festival for you. GRIDLIFE Midwest Festival returns to Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Michigan June 3-5 for a weekend of motorsports, camping and some filthy beats. ‘The Music Festival At High Speed’ combines its industry-leading on-track motorsports competition and high caliber car show with top-drawer festival production and two nights of

Nicky Romero is back with his Monocule alias for another dark progressive track, “On My Mind.” This one sees Nicky reunite with fellow Dutchman Tim van Werd. He co-produced the very first Monocule track “Time to Save” back in 2020 (which seems like it was a decade ago.) “On My Mind” follows the familiar, but fool-proof pattern that all Monocule tracks have taken. A quiet, slow buildup, in this case accompanied by a club-ready vocal track. The production is fairly minimal. The drop consists of t

Armin van Buuren and R3HAB have joined forces for a massive collaboration, “Love We Lost.” Just released on Friday, “Love We Lost” is a booming progressive house song that combines the best of both artists for an instant mainstage anthem. Somehow, despite each artists’ longevity in the industry, this is the first official collab between the two Dutch superstars. The track opens with some sparse piano notes allowing Simon Ward’s country-tinged vocals to absolutely shine. It’s quite clear, this i

Above & Beyond and Mat Zo have finally released their long-anticipated collab “Always Do.” Originally played out during last summer’s Group Therapy 450 celebration in London, “Always Do” takes Mat Zo’s underground, warehouse-ready sound and imbues it into Above & Beyond’s house-based trance beats. While Mat Zo previously remixed A&B’s “Thing Called Love” back in 2012, “Always Do” is their first official collaboration. Featuring distorted vocals and acid-laden basslines, this is not

The road to their new album continues as The Chainsmokers release their second single of the year, “iPad,” today. Written exclusively by Alex and Drew, “iPad” arrives alongside an official video, directed by Kid Studio, that follows Drew throughout New York City as he navigates the multitude of conflicting emotions that follow ending an unhealthy relationship. “Sometimes you let go just to know where to start,” Drew says. “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It

Over the years, Kaskade and deadmau5 have officially collaborated three times: in 2008 on “I Remember”; in 2014 on “Move For Me”; and in 2016 for “Beneath With Me.” Today, going on six years since their last collaboration and 14 years since their first, the two finally join forces — officially — for their new project Kx5 and first single, “Escape” featuring Hayla. Beginning with stripped-back piano underscoring Hayla’s delicate vocal, “Escape” soon swells into a pulsating electronic soundscape—

It’s only been five months since Marshmello’s last single, “Preached” with Lil Dusty G, but for some reason it feels like much longer. Maybe it’s because we were so used to the rapid pace of releases from the masked artist; but either way, “Before U” is out today. Not only does the new single mark the first song from his upcoming Joytime IV album, it will also be a new lobby track on Fortnite after over 100k fans voted for the next Marshmello Lobby Track on vote.marshmellomusic.com.

J’Moris has been teasing singles and videos, it seems, since teasing singles has been a thing. His Spotify discography is singles only all the way back to his Blac February album in 2020, though that particular album still feels as fresh as ever. That said, fans better believe Moris Better: Loveless Confessions is fresh2death. Where Blac February was heavy, political and fraught with tracks like “Venting,” “Alien” and “Letter to God,” Loveless Confessions is notably smoother around the edges bo
