We’re only in June and Crankdat has pumped out a track a month in 2022 with his latest “Ding Dong” on Monstercat. And wow is it fun. A track can be mechanically and theoretically ‘good’ without being fun, and it can also go the other way. But Crankdat truly turns the enjoyment up on this track. I can only imagine how he was acting, sitting in his studio playing this back after finishing it, but I’m at home absolutely bouncing. Between all of the tempos and rhythms and the instant serotonin from

You know the words, you know the drop, you know the producer… “Laserbeam” from Ray Volpe is now officially out everywhere, and you’re going to hear it everywhere. The song was the #1 most played record at EDC Las Vegas; when you consider there were 9 stages with dozens of different genres, and one dubstep track was played by everyone, that is definitely significant. “Thunderdome was actually the viral origin of ‘Laserbeam,’” Ray says. “It started with an email to Excision updating him with new

It feels like only yesterday when I interviewed the recent-D1 hockey player Hayden Capuozzo, aka Kayzo, at a small pizza shop in North Hollywood, accompanied by his manager, having just graduated from Icon Collective. In reality, that was back in 2015 and a lot has happened since then — he’s released two albums, launched his own label, headlined festival stages, and created and cultivated a devoted fanbase that lives for his unique and fervent blend of electronic and rock. Today, Kayzo releases

Since I first saw Moore Kismet perform live back in 2019, I’ve believed the young star was destined for greatness. There was a sense of genuineness in their demeanor and approach to the craft that I felt had been sorely missing at the time; now, three years later, I’m happy to listen to their debut album, UNIVERSE, and reaffirm that initial intuition. Though eleven of the seventeen album tracks were previously released as singles, and three serve as prologue, interlude, and epilogue, it’s still

If there’s one thing I love almost as much as new music from The Chainsmokers, it’s remixes of their music from emerging stars. Isaac Palmer is exactly that. The 21 year old has developed quite an impressive career thus far, already topping the charts on the Spinnin’ Records Talent Pool, earning over 500,000 streams in just two songs across all DSPs, and even delivering remixes for the likes of Ty Dolla $ign that has earned enormous love and support on Soundcloud. Now he’s back with a fresh and

It’s been three years since Party Favor’s debut album, Layers, came out. Though, given the events of the past few years, it feels like so much longer. It’s refreshing, then, that Party Favor’s newest album comes out and absolutely redefines the artist’s sound and expression with a brand new intensity and vision. RESET feels very intentionally named, as PF has long been relegated into the trap and party sound that ignited his career. Considering the ubiquity of some of his early songs like “Bap

The success story of manager Alex Akleh is like that of a fairytale. When artists like ACRAZE blast off to the top of every chart overnight, people love to boast how they were “there before he blew up”, but no one has the right to this claim like Alex does. Not only has he been managing him from the very start, but it’s largely due to his unwavering hustle and tenacity that ACRAZE’s instant stardom was made possible. What began as a switch-up of styles eventually became the notorious “Do It To

Once again, all of bass music will descend upon Legend Valley this September as Lost Lands returns.

This guy is just really good at naming things. Starting with his artist moniker, if apt titling was the only thing needed to get people to listen to one’s music, Restless Mosaic wouldn’t even need press. It’s difficult to ignore, to the point where one has to wonder if this is actually all concept work. Like an actual visual mosaic, this artist’s work is intricate, beautiful and its full effect is really only appreciated when one steps back to see the sum of its parts. The “restless” part, howev

For far too long, songs, attitudes, and even wardrobe choices have been copied and remade in the hopes of fitting in; St.Sinny wants to forge his own route through eclectic, intuitive, and original creations that are free of creative constraints.  It’s clear to hear this attitude in his music, especially his latest single, “LeftRight“, out today on Pharaoh Phoni
