Despite not technically being over, the COVID health crisis and all the mess that went with it is starting to feel like a distant memory. Festival season resumed in full force this summer, the surviving retailers, restaurants and clubs more or less got back to fully operational and people are attempting to pick up where they left off when the lockdowns started. That doesn’t mean, however, that we’ve seen the last of COVID-inspired art. There are still loads of releases coming out that were eith

Almost two months ago, we reported a sighting of a second Deathpact appearing at HARD Summer. This followed a similar occurrence at Shambhala the previous week. Now, the multiverse itself seems to be splitting as the masked artist is embarking on his most ambitious endeavor yet. Welcome to MIDHEAVEN. A simultaneous headline show event will see Deathpact in four cities on one night — Los Angeles, New York City, Vancouver, and Orlando. So are there four Deathpacts now? Eight?? It remains to be s

Clarity, the debut album from Zedd featuring hits like “Shave It Up,” “Spectrum,” and “Clarity,” turns 10 years old this year. Zedd has become an international star outside of just the dance music world, but all of his success can be traced back to this career-defining album and it’s only right to celebrate it in appropriate fashion. For one night only, Zedd will be performing Clarity front-to-back, live, with a 50-piece orchestra at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. This is not the first time

It’s only been three months since So Far, So Good, the most recent album from The Chainsmokers. Yet, never ones to rest on their laurels, the group has announced they’re already about to start work on their next album. In a tweet yesterday, TCS said they were headed to Colorado to start working on the album and will be uploading “clips and things” for the next two weeks.” And who else lives in Colorado that has worked with The Chainsmokers before? Yup, ILLENIUM. The two previously collabor

Whether you’ve been guilty of it yourself or silently judged someone for doing it, holding up Shazam at a concert can be a sometimes embarrassing experience. That being said, pretty much everyone has done it at some point and often times you just need to figure out what that song is! Perhaps you’ve just forgotten the title or artist, or it’s a new song you just need to have in your playlists, Shazam is often the quickest way to identify what a song is out in the wild outside of just asking someo

Possible disaster was avoided this weekend at the Gorge Amphitheater where Bass Canyon is currently underway. According to a report from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, a man was stopped by venue security and afterward arrested by police after he was seen inhaling an unknown gas from a balloon and then loading two 9mm pistols. The man was allegedly asking concertgoers when the show ended and where people would be exiting from. “Citizens and security notified deputies around 9 p.m. of a man

If you’ve seen ISOxo this year, or ever, you know the power he has to turn a crowd into an absolute party at the drop of a beat. If you haven’t seen him, or missed one of his shows, Nightrealm Tour Phase II was just announced and tickets are available now. Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Milwaukee are among the cities poised to experience his talent, with one show at the Fonda Theater in LA selling out so fast they had to add another. All tickets are available here. This articl

Only two short weeks lie between us and the festivities of Labor Day weekend and ARC Music Festival’s sophomore year. After putting on such an extraordinary event in 2022, the team behind ARC knew they had to step their game up to keep up with expectations. From the looks of it, they undoubtedly did, both with the lineup and now with the newly announced after parties and rare b2b sets. Spanning across some of Chicago’s most iconic venues, including RADIUS, Concord Music Hall, PRYSM, Smartbar,

Believe it or not, Zedd has never worked with the same vocalist twice before today, as he teams up again with Maren Morris from “The Middle” for his new single, “Make You Stay” with BEAUZ. Maren Morris says, “I loved working with Zedd again on ‘Make You Say’ after such a thrill ride with ‘The Middle.’ It’s such a vibey melody and making the music video [below] was definitely a first for me as far as choreography and animation go. The fans are gonna flip.” The track definitely toes the line betw

Teaming up with close collaborator Hige Driver, French trailblazer Naeleck unveiled his single “Final Boss” last year, an infectious and fun 8-bit-inspired electro anthem, that became an instant favorite amongst gamers. Now, the talented DJ and producer is breathing new life into the track with a visually-stunning music video, paired with a remix from none other than UK bass music pioneers Modestep. Created by Australian animator Sam Green, the animated music video for “Final Boss” finds a car

Boasting lots of talent and an unmatched drive to succeed, Slovak producer SIIK is continuously rising through dance music’s ranks with his festival-ready music and explosive performances. Bringing together future house and bass house in a unique way, SIIK has made a name for himself internationally with his forward-thinking sound design, groovy basslines and hard leads, while he is only getting started. SIIK’s latest tune is titled “Lifestyle,” and it’s out now in collaboration with widely ce

Last night USA time, Flume hosted an Ask Me Anything in his Discord, Hi This Is Flume. In addition to the myriad questions he answered over the course of about an hour and a half (in voice chat, it appears, so we don’t have the written answers here), fans were also surprised when they asked about the status of one of his old IDs, “Greenpeace,” and he responded by casually providing a download link to the song. The ID was originally written as part of a campaign with Greenpeace Australia Pacific

With releases on renowned record labels such as Spinnin, Armada, Ultra, Smash The House, Monstercat and many more, as well as support from celebrated artists such as Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Afrojack, SCNDL is well on his way towards establishing himself as one of dance music’s greats. Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, the talented artist has amassed over 100 million collective streams on digital platforms, while headlining countless Australian an

GRiZ announces today the return of ‘Another World’, a two-day event at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado on October 28th and 29th. This year’s edition of ‘Another World’ is set to be an immersive experience with GRiZ performing both sets “In The Round” this Halloween weekend. The two-night affair kicks off Friday, October 28th with experimental bass musician MIZE and rising Alabama-based bass DJ Black Carl!, continuing into Saturday, October 29th with female trap producer Rossy, and De

Sometimes you’re in the moment and feel like a move is a good idea, and then you get punched in the face by T.I. and realize you probably shouldn’t have done that. That exact scenario just happened to Drew Taggart from The Chainsmokers last night, as the duo and T.I. both uploaded videos regarding the situation, both of them laughing it off. “T.I. just literally punched me in the face,” Taggart said. “We were on a vibe, and I gave him a kiss on the cheek, and he totally punched me in the face.

Some fans who’ve seen him with stand-alone singles on the likes of Delta9, Eatbrain, Blackout and, of course, Hoofbeats, may not know that neurofunk/dancefloor hybrid stan Kutlo has been producting for nearly a decade. Releasing more liquid and deep bass-style tracks beginning in 2013, Kutlo cut his teeth on playing with synths and sound design and was a local Slovak and Czech favorite until Let It Roll featured his deep bass scrambler of a track called “Void” with Italian producer Goh on their

Hudson Mohawke, criminally underrated as he is, just released his third studio album, Cry Sugar, this past Friday. Typically, we do our best to share news of a release of this magnitude day-of, but this album is so dense and unique that we just had to take the weekend (plus another day) to fully digest it. The new full length arrives featuring previously released singles “Bicstan,” “Stump,” and “Dance Forever.” Cry Sugar deepens his practice of producing motivational music for club goers — upli

Today, Subtronics has announced a special LA headlining show at the Kia Forum on Saturday, January 28th, co-produced by Bassrush and Live Nation, his first ever Los Angeles arena performance will feature hits off his debut album FRACTALS. The Forum (17,000 capacity) is an iconic Los Angeles venue staple, hosting performances from pretty much every major artist, but only a select few in the electronic dance music world, such as Odesza, The Chainsmokers, and Armin van Buuren. Subtronics will be

Audio plus energy equals bass music, especially when it comes from Audigy. The South Florida producer and DJ has been on our radar for a hot minute and continues to catch our eyes with his growing repertoire of action-packed tracks. On his latest endeavor, Audigy takes a swing at “Chasing Devils” from Conrank and Buku. The original track from Conrank’s 2021 album The Simulation’s Breached features a bouncy beat that turns into drumstep ferocity. Audigy steps in and takes the tempo into a slower

Following up his highly successful debut album 1000 Faces, melodic bass heavyweight Jason Ross is back with his second artist album, Atlas. Expanding on his previous achievements as a producer, Atlas is a new chapter that sees Jason Ross showing off his prolific skills as he drops melodic bass, dubstep and trance. On top of the album, Jason is kicking off a massive North America tour that will feature his biggest show to date at the Hollywood Palladium. We recently had a brief chat with Jason a

If you weren’t at HARD Summer last month, you might have missed that Insomniac dropped the lineup for Escape, North America’s largest Halloween festival. Featuring some of the biggest names in dance music, Escape will have multiple stages dedicated to the best in EDM from main stage, bass, techno and house. This year’s lineup features heavy hitters like Alesso, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Marshmello, Kayzo, Oliver Heldens and a special Deorro b2b Valentino Khan set. Taking place at San Bernardino’s

It would seem J’Moris took a bit of a break after releasing his most recent LP, Moris Better: Loveless Confessions, as he usually releases pretty rapidly. Singles seem to just flow out of this Texas rapper at least once per month, but it’s always good to give the creativity a rest after a big release, and Loveless Confessions was, indeed, big for J’Moris. On Spotify, nine of his ten current most played tracks are from that album. His latest single, “Being Humble,” released late last month, howev

Early Saturday morning local time, high winds in Spain at Medusa Festival caused part of the main stage to collapse, resulting in one death and more than 20 injured. After winds exceeding 51 mph were clocked, the main stage was evacuated but many apparently stayed behind against the official orders of staff and organizers. Pitchfork reported, “Of those injured, three suffered serious trauma injuries and 14 experienced minor injuries, according to regional emergency services. Reuters notes that

KEETZ follows up his Terminal EP strong with the project’s grittiest cut to date, “Blight.” This particular production has remained one of KEETZ’s best kept secrets until now. A hidden gem lurking in the shadows just waiting to be unleashed — and that day has finally come. “Blight” thrives in a grungy, electro house realm. The first drop is simple yet effective, featuring a clean, pumping kick matched with persistent synth work, a killer bassline, and various intricacies to fill out the mix. S
