When it comes to trap, BAILO is a household name. He’s paved his own lane in the industry, known for booming 808’s and electrifying arrangements that have earned him a massive global fanbase. Last year, BAILO spearheaded the movement to bring back the original trap sound with the release of his Trapped Out EP via Slow Roast Records, garnering support from heavy-hitters like Zeds Dead, Alison Wonderland, What So Not, GTA, and Clozee.  The movement continues with “EAGLE VZN,” where listeners can

It’s kind of ironic to describe Rossy’s Deadbeats debut, “Octavia,” as shimmering given she already has a track called “Shimmer” with Cozway on Sable Valley, but it’s hard to argue that the former is more glittering than the latter. That being said, “Octavia” is a blissful bass track that presents plenty of beautiful synths and melodies packaged in a dreamy 210 seconds. With echoing vocals and an easy-to-fall-into rhythm, Rossy ensures that when this drops live, she’s going to have everyone fee

Wobbleland in Northern California has been the reigning king of bass festivals on the west coast for nearly a decade, and it seems like they’ve taken their break in 2021 in stride with a stellar return for next January. The official lineup just dropped and it’s a who’s who of everyone you could possibly want. From JOYRYDE b2b Ghastly as GHOST RYDR, Kayzo, NGHTMRE, and Slushii on the headline row to 12th Planet, Gammer, Wavedash, Riot Ten b2b Spag Heddy on the main stage, then Champage Drip, Lil

Timmy Trumpet loves his collaborations, working with everyone from Armin van Buuren to Flo Rida to Vengaboys to Vitas, but his release today is sure to entice veteran ravers as he teams up with Cascada and Harris & Ford for “Never Let Me Go.” Hitting notes that would make Idina Menzel proud, Cascada absolutely carries this classic rave tune with fast-paced beats and a lively melody. “Never Let Me Go” is pure, ecstatic rave pop and it’s exactly what we wanted from this match up. Check it ou

Tiësto and Ava Max have a party starting pop hit on their hands with “The Motto.” The single releases alongside a music video directed by Christian Breslauer, which features both Tiësto and Ava Max traveling back in time and partying it up. “The Motto” is clubby and catchy, which is to be expected, but it’s the carefree style of the track that makes it the perfect weekend anthem. Tiësto shares of the release: Ava is such an exciting young talent and her beautiful voice adds such depth to the

From busking in the streets of NY in the late ‘90s to building a massive career for himself over the span of more than two decades, Coke Beats is widely considered one of the legends in the scene. Having toured all around the world, on top of collaborating with everyone from Cash Money Records, Famous Dex and Sean Kingston to LL Cool J, Lil Tjay and many more, Coke Beats has an impressive list of achievements under his belt, and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.  Coke Beats ha

Sam Allan has been mastering his craft for nearly a decade, having performed alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Zedd, Kaskade, Eric Prydz, Robin Schulz, W&W, MK, and Laidback Luke. He’s incredible behind the decks and rightfully has played some of the finest clubs on the east coast like Marquee, Lavo, and The Brooklyn Mirage/Avant Gardner. Now, he’s making his debut on Gameroom Records, a sub label of the iconic Black Hole Recordings, with “Regressive“. It’s progressive

Maintaining an atmosphere of integrity and progressive workplace practices that apply across an artist management roster and staff alike, Jay Rogovin, Alec Donkin and Jade Gaines, formerly of C3 Management, and Blake Coppelson of Proximity Music have joined forces alongside community service providers from 4 o’clock Consulting (DanceSafe & Good Night Out) to innovate the traditional conception of artist management, coining their new brainchild Kompass Music Group. Spanning a full roster of

In September 2019, Noisia aka Nik Roos, Martijn van Sonderen, and Thijs de Vlieger announced that the group would split at the end of 2020; the final chapter in a hugely successful 20 year career that saw Noisia break new ground for drum & bass, and become one of the most respected outfits in electronic music. Faced with no festivals in 2020, Noisia decided they’d release a live version of their ‘Outer Edges’ AV show, the touring show which surrounded the release of the ‘Outer Edges’ album.

AREA21, the collaborative project between Martin Garrix and Maejor that began in 2016 with the surprise breakout hit “Spaceship,” is finally gearing up to release its debut album next Friday. Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is… a bit of an oddly titled album, given that it’s composed entirely of newly released singles in 2021 plus six unreleased singles. None of the project’s supposed “greatest hits” like “Spaceship,” “Glad You Came,” or “We Did It” are on the album. But, oh well, I guess? The album comes

It’s been seven years since Alison Wonderland last released a solo original under her Whyte Fang alias, but she’s back today with “TIDES,” a brief but thundering 105-second instrumental. Waiting this long, or paying attention to all the hype around a new Whyte Fang single and then going on Spotify and seeing “1:45” for the duration definitely felt like a bit of a letdown at first. But after listening to the single, and hearing no wasted space, it’s a bit refreshing, as well. Objectively the Wh

We’ve been highly anticipating new music from North Carolina’s very own, Snyder. Whether he’s delivering electrifying performances opening for artists like Steve Aoki, or creating incredible music in the studio, we’ve come to know just how special of an artist Snyder is. It’s been a few months since we heard new music from the young and promising artist, and he did not fail to blow us away with his brand new single, “Tonight“, featuring friend and longtime collaborator, Northside Rocky. Seeing

The sold-out eighth edition of Suwannee Hulaween brought more than 100 artists to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park last weekend, including heavy-hitting DJs like Skrillex, Bonobo, and Chris Lake. All three iconic producer/DJs gave stellar individual performances on Friday night, then surprised revelers by playing their first-ever b2b2b set at the festival’s infamous after-hours stage, Incendia. The impromptu star-studded trio effortlessly coalesced behind the booth, serving up a blisterin

Alison Wonderland fans know of her side project, Whyte Fang — but based on the account’s 214 monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s unlikely that many others do. That will change tomorrow as the project is poised to release its first solo original ever, “Tides.” Whyte Fang showed up in 2012 on the Reign (Remixes) EP from Elizabeth Rose with a remix of “Ready,” and again in 2013, featuring on a Lancelot track, “Thinking Of You.” (There are some other originals on her SoundCloud.) With seven years be

Rezz’s third album, Spiral, is due out later this month, November 19, and she just revealed the full tracklist. Including previously released singles “Chemical Bond” with Deathpact, “Taste Of You” with Dove Cameron, “Sacrificial” with PVRIS, and “Let Me In” with fknsyd, we are getting seven new songs including a collaboration with Peekaboo and another with Metric, for a total of 11 tracks. (“Spun” and “Vortex” are listed twice in the graphic below.) Chemical Bond w/ Deathpact Let Me In w/ fkn

It was a celebration for the ages as EDC made its triumphant return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway after almost two-and-a-half years. There were many milestones to be celebrated, aside from the return of the event itself. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the Electric Daisy Carnival, and the 10th anniversary of the festival’s move to Vegas. Not only did Insomniac deliver as per usual with grandiose production, immaculate planning, and a totally stacked lineup. They also made the Speedway

Today Do LaB, originators and creators of the boutique festival experience Lightning in a Bottle, have revealed the lineup for the event’s 2022 return to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California. For five days on Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-30, LIB will gather a unique blend of torchbearers from an array of genres and origins to its renowned creative tapestry. Each artist will play their own role in igniting the long awaited reconnection of the LIB community. Since 2006, Do LaB has acted as a c

Lights All Night just dropped the full music lineup for its 11th edition and it’s a doozy. The longest-running EDM festival in Texas returns to Dallas on December 30 and 31 with a limited number of two-day and single-day tickets are available for purchase at LightsAllNight.com. After a sold-out 10th anniversary celebration in 2019, LAN will make its triumphant return this December featuring performances from the world’s most sought-after dance and electronic music acts. 40,000+ guests from acro

Following the success of the Blade Runner 2049 film from 2017, Adult Swim has released an animated series called Blade Runner: Black Lotus that merges the established Blade Runner universe with a more anime-style presentation. Along with the series, the original television soundtrack contains 15 new songs from the likes of X Ambassadors, Tori Kelly, G-Eazy, iann dior, as well as a collaboration from Alesso and Danna Paola. Check out the song from Alesso below as well as the opening sequence fr

Few artists can trend on Twitter for simply announcing a single show, but that’s what Skrillex did last week before his grand return to New York City at Avant Gardner, his first set in the state in four years. It’s been a long four years for Skrillex fans, bombarded with promises (or, rather, rumors) of an album, year after year after year. Not to mention plenty of releases that spanned various genres, many of them outside what was considered the artist’s “typical” style. Nonetheless, it’s wid

RÜFÜS DU SOL recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to deliver an outstanding performance of their massive hit “On My Knees.” Riding the wave of their fourth studio album Surrender, the electronic band is currently on tour with stops planned in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston and more. This is just a taste of what it’s like to see them live, but they manage to reach through the screen and touch our souls. MORE: RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Fourth Album ‘Surrender’ Feels More Human & Heartfelt T

From playing sold out shows at some of the country’s most popular nightclubs with artists like Drake, Rae Sremmurd and Wiz Khalifa to playing star studded celebrity birthday parties for the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio & Toby Mcguire to shutting down festival stages, Apollo XO has quickly became a premier Open-Format Dj. His talent is undeniable and he currently plays upwards of 200+ sets a year and holds residencies at Studio Paris (Chicago), Underground Nightclub (Chicago), FWD (Cleveland) a

Sydney-turned-Melbourne producer Wave Racer today releases his long awaited debut album, To Stop From Falling Off The Earth, out now via Eora/Sydney-based tastemaker label Astral People Recordings.
