The time has come for the next chapter of Black Tiger Sex Machine’s ever-expanding dystopian world. After a massive year that saw the Montreal trio headline Red Rocks, play festivals like Lost Lands, Bass Canyon and more, BTSM are kicking off 2022 on January 28th with their highly anticipated 3rd album, Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld. “Our post-apocalyptic universe is a bleak place where the world is crumbling. In some ways the hardships mirror what we’ve all gone through in the past couple yea

Following a two-year break from touring and releasing music, The Chainsmokers have returned to unveil their new single “High” today. The song, which was co-written and co-produced with Whethan, launches a new musical era for the band and kicks off the journey towards their upcoming fourth full-length album. The song’s official music video has also premiered today and follows the guys to death-defying heights as Drew chases his unattainable significant other through several surreal scenarios, and

Since launching his music career in May 2021, Thomas Xavier has only seen well-rounded growth and success come his way. The solo DJ/producer worked tirelessly, releasing a whopping 9 tracks across 2 EPs, 3 singles, and 4 labels, all in 7 months to close out the year. He’s also performed a plethora of shows which have had him traveling cross-country, opening for names like Claude Von Stroke, Boys Noize, and Dom Dolla, to name a few. Now, he’s launching his very own label, Pharaoh Phonix, with an

Fish Scale is one of the most exciting artists in bass house, who has an innate ability at finding the perfect groove and creating a sound entirely unique to himself. His music has been signed to top labels such as Confession, Do Not Duplicate Recordings, and Circus Records, to name a few. He’s also played numerous cities across the US as well as prestigious festivals like EDC Orlando and HARD Summer. Now, the talented LA producer is back with a thundering single titled “Got That“, signed to Ba

There’s something special that happens when deep house is paired with a smooth vocal. We can’t help but feel drawn to it. The latest track we’re excited to feature is a new one from HAWD HITTA, who has teamed up with vocalist Rogelio for a sensational deep house original, titled “See Me“, that is hopelessly intoxicating. Rogelio is a triple-threat singer-songwriter, actor, and dancer who had an electric entryway into the EDM world with his single “Better Man” with Klingande. On “See Me“, he pro

Claptone is a man in no need of an introduction. He’s already left a permanent legacy in the dance music world with his unbridled imagination and uncanny ability to push the creative boundaries of both house music and live events. If you’ve ever seen him live or attended one of his Masquerade events, you’ll know what I mean. Claptone is still fresh off of releasing his critically acclaimed album ‘Closer‘, released in November 2021, which featured timeless vocalists like Seal and Barry Manilow a

Grey Code has always been known for his diversity in sound, pretty much as soon as he hit the scene. With clean synths, cleaner breaks and overall work that reads more like high concept art than dancefloor D&B. It’s no wonder he’s released on so many premier labels since his first releases in 2017. Now with almost everything he does being scoffed up by Metalheadz, the continuation of the sonic journey that started with his Reprieve and Heilos EPs is almost here in the massive Renewal album,

SAYMYNAME is hosting a massive event in Los Angeles for an incredible cause. The hard trap music producer and DJ is bringing his “One Beat“ virtual concert to Exchange LA for a night to spin filthy bass music in the name of fighting injustice and supporting good causes. On February 4th, ETC!ETC!, Dack Janiels, MADGRRL, Black Jesus, GAWM, IZADI, and JMOSS are joining SAYMYNAME for an evening where community meets charity. With the help of the Local Hearts Foundation (LHF) and Insomniac Events as

SEXPAYS is coming out of left field with his take on house music. This is their very first release overall, showcasing a sensational house vibe that hits all the right marks. The mystery artist approaches at things from a different view, which can certainly be seen as a feature the electronic world needs more of. From the sound of it, he’s gained experience producing, and most likely DJing, from years of practice and potentially expressing himself under a different alias – the chops going on he

As one might be able to tell by both his project name and the title of his first single, “Fever Dream,” Ono Kimono brings a tremendous amount of cheek to his work. Started in 2021 by multi-instrumentalist Justin Roll, thus far this solo project is just about as vibrant, colorful and retro as the cover art for said first single. With 80s-style synths, a good handle on oscillators and loads of indie pop cachet, Ono Kimono is set to bring the next wave of rock/electro fusion. Roll says Ono Kimono

Coming to Smash Deep, a division of Smash The House, emerging producers Swatkat and Jason Dewey have collided on “Feel It,” a deep house anthem of massive proportions.

Driven by hard-hitting kicks, playful melodies and groovy basslines, it’s truly an immersive sonic journey from start to finish. With both artists showing immense promise and potentia

Based in Belgium, SVDKO has been building an impressive discography over the past years, filled with eclectic, guitar-driven cuts that blend the lines between electronic, indie and pop. Making his first release in 2022, he has just connected with French up-and-comer Adrobski and US-based songwriter Harvey to unveil “Open Waters.” A heavenly and unique piece of electronic music, “Open Waters“ nicely brings together the styles of all three artists into an engaging and cohesive mix. SVDKO’s nostal

“No Diggity” is one of those tracks that is timeless through and through, the product of the iconic collaboration between Blackstreet, Dr. Dre, and Queen Pen. It’s received remix treatment through the years from all sorts of genres, and now, kicking off 2022, we have a fresh tropical house remix from Las Vegas duo Course Control, featuring the smooth vocals of Kevon Tyrre. Imagine… what if Blackstreet’s 1990s hit went to Ibiza, dug it’s feet in the sand, ordered a round of pina coladas, and

Her at Your EDM, we’ve long carried the belief that EDM and other forms of electronic music wouldn’t be where they are with experimental artists. Mechanizing audio was originally the discipline of scientists, after all, and experimental musicians always seem to have that mad scientist arc. Whether we’re talking Philip Glass, Brian Eno, Musique Concrète or more contemporary curious artists like Hans Zimmer, Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin and even Noisia, tinkering with sounds, mods and recording te

After capping an exciting year with “Shady Intentions,” NGHTMRE continues the momentum and kicks off 2022 with his first EP release since 2017. Four tracks deep and chock-full of features, UNSOUND travels NGHTMRE’s evolution of sound since his inception. Including genre-bending collaborations with rising producers RNSOM, RAY VOLPE, and Deadlyft, UNSOUND is the third installment to NGHTMRE’s long line of triumphant EPs. “The UNSOUND EP is a bit of a preface for my upcoming album. I have been wor

We are always massive fans of diverse sound design and super innovative production. Today, we have the privilege to share with you guys the latest album from Urbanstep, ‘STAGES’. This multi genre album takes the listener on an mind-bending and genre redefining experience from rock, to hiphop to trap production. Urban step comments on the album’s creation:  ‘This album is a massive concept that was systematically created, polished and released throughout a year as singles & EPs that forme

The masked boys of Electric Polar Bears are continuing to make waves in the dance scene following their massive release of over 10 original tracks and remix packs over the course of 2021. They have an impressive list of collaborators, from working with superstar Paris Hilton to massive Australian artist, tyDi.  Now, they’re back, this time teaming up with immensely talented vocalist Katie Sky (credits include: Ultra, Circus, OWSLA), for the melodically driven pop-dance song, “Could Shoulder“. I

Apparently at one time, Chicago-based group The Color of Cyan were a more vox-forward outfit, but the seem to have deigned to wipe past work from memory. Now the focus is on two things: pitch-perfect guitars and beautiful ambient production work. The result is their, for all intents and purposes, debut album, Agape, and with the level of mastery displayed on this LP, it’s hard to imagine they were doing anything else. Since the Google slate has been wiped of any previous work, it’s hard to spec

NYC’s very own Sam Allan is kicking off 2022 with a bang with a massive release. He’s teamed up with vocalist team Daudia for their intoxicating single, “Why Don’t You Love Me“, signed to Thomas Gold’s prestigious Fanfare Records. It’s a huge signing and rightfully deserved, encompassing every facet of becoming an anthem both in the clubs and at festivals. Melodic, uplifting, and contagiously addicting, “Why Don’t You Love Me” is a song that you will probably find yourself listening to on repea

XIE and dance music heavyweight JSTJR join forces for ‘$AVAGE’ a sonically pleasing glitchy videogame-esque banger with jungle and electro influences. The track immediately kicks off with glitchy, entrancing synths complimented by XIE’s hypnotic vocals. Serenading synths quickly lull the listeners into a trance only to be followed by a jolting groove as heavy sub basses enter the sonic space. Electro and jungle influences are fused together throughout the entirety of the record creating a livel
