Rohaan’s always had an air of mystique around him. Even back to his early days in the experimental trap and deep bass worlds, releasing on MAD ZOO and Deadbeats. His style has that indistinguishable quality that the likes of IMANU, Current Value and Amon Tobin have which certainly transcends genre, but also seems to transcend space and time. A powerful manifestor as well as a creator of some of the most interesting beats of the last seven years, it seems inevitable that he would eventually relea

It might have come as a surprise when it was announced that S.P.Y, the elusive DJ, producer and now label boss of DARKMTTR Records, would be taking over the legendary XOYO in London for the whole of November. The Brasil-born mega DJ generally only picks the gigs he’s really excited about and, with his release schedule, both label and personal, many fans might wonder how S.P.Y could make time for four Fridays. Turns out it was a simple decision for him. With the well-oiled machine that is Wei

After two long years of delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ultra Music Festival is finally set to return March 25-27!

At its core, music is a subjective experience. Even the most technically proficient musician might prefer making math rock, and some people don’t like that. Sometimes, heavily distorted sounds and discordant melodies might garner mass appeal. Narrowing down all the albums released into a top 10 is a purely subjective exercise therein. However, there are some factors to take into account when doling out a ranking for creative endeavors. Does the artist evolve in their own sound? Is there somethi

So, here we are once again — the end of another year. While 2020 presented its own obvious challenges, 2021 (in general) fared much better for artists with the return of festivals and live events. Though, even that came with its own caveats with vaccine and testing requirements, and now omicron bumping up case loads across the world. COVID might just be something we have to deal with for the rest of our lives. Thankfully, we have music to fill our lives with joy and there are plenty of names you

Since 2016, Your EDM has endeavored to feature 40 completely new artists, every year, that we believe will achieve great things the following year. As of this year’s list, that means we have previously featured 280 unique artists over the course of seven years. The list has evolved in its early years from simply “which big artists have albums to look out for next year” to “who are the smaller artists that are doing something exceptional,” meaning we have had the opportunity to feature an incredi

YouTube is tapping into generative AI and prompt engineering to allow creators to effortlessly remix songs for their Shorts, The Verge reports. While remixing typically requires a great deal of production finesse, the platform's new AI feature, currently in beta, lets creators easily "restyle" licensed music into punchy 30-second clips. Testers chosen to participate can reportedly take their pick from a library of eligible tracks before forming a prompt, which reworks various elements of the mus

YouTube Music has rolled out an innovative component that is sure to cause ripples! The new feature allows users to search for songs in the most convenient of ways. These include humming, singing or playing a tune that could be straightaway fed into the app for recognition. It comes into existence after about a year of testing. Available through a waveform icon in the search bar, the sound search feature accesses the streaming giant’s database of over 100 million official songs. It then attempt

YouTube is in the midst of a new round of high-stakes negotiations with the three major labels to secure licensing agreements for its AI-generated music initiatives.  The conversations with Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Records and Universal Music Group are taking place in the wake of their lawsuits targeting generative AI startups Suno and Udio, both of whom stand accused of using copyrighted music without permission to train their text-to-audio models. The lawsuits, spearheaded by the Recor

Media giant YouTube is on its way to addressing the recently viralised “synthetic singing” AI can provide via deepfaking a singer’s voice. The company has worked to design and make available a new tool designed to protect creators and combat unauthorised AI-generated content — which, funnily enough, also runs on artificial intelligence. The software, scheduled for release in 2025, will identify and manage “soundalike” vocals, a type of synthetic singing that mimics the voices of real artist

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

Combining powerful emotions, hard-hitting basslines, and intoxicating big room energy, experienced house producer Zaandr and 15-year-old talent Dylan Delato’s brand new collaboration “Techtonic” is finally here. “Techtonic” doesn’t mark the first time these two bright artists join forces, as they have been bringing together a number of Midwest artists for some time now. Zaandr is still buzzing off his earlier 2023 single “Breakaway” alongside SIMP, while Dylan Delato, who has previously known as
