Dropping on the FADER label you can expect smooth guitar progressions, atmospheric sound design and the classic Shallou pure emotive vocals.

MitiS returns to Ophelia Records with his first multi-track release since his 2021 sophomore album Lost, and it’s certainly worth the wait. Together sees him teaming up with Ray Volpe on “Don’t Look Down” featuring Linney, a beautiful and thrashing melodic/heavy one-two punch. While it’s a bit formulaic in construction, following in the footsteps of Seven Lions’ “Island,” the two producers and Linney forge their own path. Apart from “Don’t Look Down,” we also get “It’s All You” with Amidy and “

Yesterday, rumors going around on Twitter centered around a video taken out of context led to many fans asking if RÜFÜS DU SOL was breaking up or not. At one point during their show at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, Tyrone Lindqvist said, “Tonight is very special because it marks the end of the chapter for us as a unit. I just feel really blessed we get to share tonight with you guys.” A video of the moment was uploaded to social media, but was part of a larger speech to the crowd that didn’t ma

Kaskade and deadmau5 continue their sonic exploration as Kx5 with their latest single, “Alive,” featuring The Moth & The Flame. As the duo have released singles, “Escape” to “Take Me High” to “Alive,” they’ve demonstrated a core musical signature while providing context and experimentation within it, owing to their decades of combined artistry and mastery in the genre. With “Alive,” they continue to edge a little darker with each single, this time bringing just a touch of emotive rock into

A lot of drum & bass fans can remember back in late 2017 when Jonathon Signal made the not-so-subtle switch from that moniker to IMANU and the shock waves it caused, not becuase of the name change but because of the announcement that he would no longer be focusing solely on D&B. It’s becoming less and less rare nowadays for artists to straddle genres or make a cheeky switch from D&B to halftime or dubstep or even to dabble in straight beats like techno, but back then it was nearly un

Last night in Los Angeles, RÜFÜS DU SOL lit up the Hollywood Bowl for 17,000 fans during a stop on their Surrender tour in support of their most recent album. At one point during the show, the group took a moment to address the crowd. Tyrone Lindqvist said, “Tonight is very special because it marks the end of the chapter for us as a unit. I just feel really blessed we get to share tonight with you guys.” Rumors have sparked that the trio is breaking up after they finish their current tour, whi

When word got out that The Golden Pony frontman Timothy Layn was starting a new project, we could hardly contain our excitement. Channeling his love for rock and electronic music into his new band, STRAINJER, they prove to be just as captivating as we could of hoped for, packed with glitzy melodies, catchy pop hooks, and a perfect blend of rock and electronic.

Leah Sturgis was destined to be Pallas. Pallas’ persona and her first debut single “In the Night” came to fruition from an ethereal dream she had and when she awoke the track was born. Some may call it coincidence, but we would call it more of a prophecy. Prior to this grand awakening, Leah had always been drawn to the allure of artistry, whether it was film, dance, or her love of music. She was first captivated by the art form of dance at the mere age of two and in the years that followed, the

Toronto based singer and songwriter TaraJam followed her last release ‘BR*K3N TELEPHONE’ with a brand new single titled ‘MELATONIN’. On ‘MELATONIN’, Tara Jam takes a dive into Insomnia, the angst of knowing sleep is meant to happen but it doesn’t as your mind races in thought. ‘MELATONIN’ explores the cycle of consuming as many melatonin pills as you can trying to find rest in the night. Tara Jam melodically contrasts both the beauty and darkness of the night, layering vocals over a synth base

Yesterday, Porter Robinson announced that he would be performing his Nurture show at Second Sky later this month with a live band. Fans were ecstatic about the news until it was revealed a couple hours later that Keudae, a fan who’d done creative piano mashups of popular Porter songs, would be the pianist for the live band. Twitter was quick to call out Keudae’s harmful beliefs, in which she follows a variety of alt-right pundits and news sources, including NewsMax, Candace Owens, the Trump

It’s a pretty special time in bass music when dubstep appears to be stagnating somewhat, and yet trap is experiencing a huge resurgence. With the likes of ISOxo, Knock2, FrostTop and others leading the charge, rSUN is coming up in a big way with his latest release on Discovery Project by Insomniac, “Don’t Mind.” The track begins innocently enough with delicate chords but quickly brings in the bass and grime for a minimal approach that would make Hucci proud. The components are simple enough on

Starting in 2015 with only “a Macbook and a dream,” Mallive made a name for himself by quickly rising through the ranks of the Future Bass world. Working with Heroic Recordings – the Netherlands-based label that would eventually spawn San Holo and Bitbird – he released a string of singles and the widely celebrated Nogawa EP. 2016 and 2017 saw the release of official remixes for Wolf Colony, Ark Patrol, and even the superstar DJs Vanic and Kap Slap. Then, out of nowhere, Mallive mysteriously dis

As we get closer to the end of the year, the rate at which new albums are coming out is going to be falling down and a new touring season is picking up. But, as the months get colder and the days get shorter, as we spend more time inside and with friends and family, we wanted to look back at ten albums from the past year you might have missed or might have just forgotten about to fill your time. We will have a separate Top 10 Albums list at the end of the year, but some of these albums might ap

Only yesterday, Porter Robinson teased some “crazy ass update” about his set at Second Sky. We didn’t expect the reveal to come quite so soon, but we’re not complaining to learn that he’s bringing a full live band for a reimagined Nurture live set later this month. So many EDM artists have performed with a live band before, including Modestep, Rudimental, Louis Futon, Chase & Status, Netsky, and more, so it’s not that it’s revolutionary in that sense. But it is new for Porter and with the w
