There’s very little that I could say about “Griztronics II,” the follow-up collaboration to 2019’s smash hit from GRiZ and Subtronics, that would add anything remotely supplementary to the history or power behind the track. But for the sake of argument, and, to a lesser degree, my job, let’s go ahead and say I tried. The magic of “ooh this shit be hittin’ different” and the original build are absent from the follow up, in their place instead unbridled dubstep ferocity. Subtronics says, “‘GRIZT

It’s been nearly nine years since Kavinsky released his debut album, OutRun, featuring his smash hit, “Nightcall.” Since then, the producer has remained enigmatic though not necessarily elusive. A steady social media presence has kept hope alive that he would one day return and, to be corny, answer his own night call. Last year, he announced a new album was on the way and today we get the first single, “Renegade” with Cautious Clay. Greatly inspired by cinema, Kavinsky has always intertwined m

The day is finally here — Spiral, the fourth album from Rezz, is officially out.

The last time we featured Rich Furniss it was for his debut release, a collaboration with Apollo XO for their single, “I’ll Be There“, that turned out to be a great success, racking in thousands of streams and earning major press support. Now, this talented producer is back with Chris Crack for a sizzling tech house single “Let Me Work” that is absolutely addicting.

Over three days, you’ll be able to hang out and participate with the likes of Kaivon, Evan Giia, Phantoms & Valentino Khan, Lisbona Sisters, Marc Rebillet, Noizu & Wax Motif, CharlestheFirst, Chee & Of The Trees, and mo

As long as there have been festivals, there have been fan cams of sets uploaded to sites like HulkShare, Zippy, YouTube, or Mixcloud — without any royalties going back to the artists. Unless there is a decent content ID system in place, like in the case of YouTube, it’s ultimately up to the discretion of the artists and their teams whether or not to take these down. But wouldn’t it be nice if artists didn’t have to worry about it at all. Thankfully, we live in a new technological era and the pr

Aside from their hefty, crunchy dancefloor rhythms that skirt the boundaries of neurofunk, Hybrid Theory have also made a name for themselves with their solid-since-2010 label, Four40 Records. Having just celebrated their ten-year anniversary, the imprint releases more tracks per month than pretty much any other D&B label active today. The duo have a very down-low, grassroots approach to A&R, it seems, releasing who they want, when they want. It’s thus quite surprising that Hybrid Theor

Legendary DJ/turntablist Craze returns to Holy Ship! for the latest Wrecked installment in Riviera Maya, Mexico next month. Among all the “if you’ve never seen XXXX, you need to see XXXX” options, he’s definitely near the top of the list.

In this latest mix, Craze explores a number of genres from moombahton to hip hop to trap to

The Man.

Now, he’s s

Some live set flips are just too good to be kept in the vault. Such is the case with the massive flip of “Core” by RL Grime that Ray Volpe unleashed on Bass Canyon earlier this year, and to the pleasure of thousands of fans, it’s finally out. We’ve been hearing a few new flips of the classic this year, including Justin Hawkes’ DnB flip, but Ray Volpe — true to his own sound — takes the trap banger to a new bass level with a huge dubstep drop. Since it is just a live edit, the whole track is onl

Though NGHTMRE has played Red Rocks plenty of times with SLANDER or Big Gigantic, he’s never headlined the famed venue solo. That changes next April with “INTO THE DRMVRSE.” The show will be the debut performance of his debut album and upcoming tour, both of which we can somewhat safely assume will have “DRMVRSE” in the name. Tickets go on sale today — go to the link in the tweet below to access the pre-sale, password DRMVRSE. This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: NGHTMRE

The melodic, diverse and very UK sounds of Hillsdom seemed to come more or less out of nowhere a few years ago with their big label debut on Viper’s Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2017. That’s certainly an effective way to make an entrance, and they’ve been churning out those slammers ever since. With a mature and well-developed sound pretty much from jump, Hillsdom have released loads of work on Viper, had a single on Simon Bassline’s almost impossibly tough to sign label Technique, UKF’s chee

Aoki performed this one-time remix at the Los Angeles premiere of COWBOY BEBOP on November 11, which was simultaneously live-streamed on Aoki’s social media platforms. The virtual conversation focused on Aoki’s process and hi

Party Favor is evolving. With his past few singles, he’s shown a drive and passion for reinvention, most especially with his newest single, “Whenever You’re Around.” As the follow up to his 2021 singles “Save Me” and “Losing My Mind” featuring Elohim, “Whenever You’re Around” is a low-bass sophisticated rump-shaker. Says Party Favor, “This song first started life as a session with my friend Drew Love way back before the pandemic. It was super pop-leaning and we both loved it but never really e

You know those memes that have been going around the past coupe of years where it’s a chaotic picture where the objects in it have been blurred or distorted so that your brain thinks it should recognize them but still can’t and you end up squinting at it for far too long? Vectralux is, in concept, a much more pleasant version of those diabolical pictures. With a name that, by their own admission, is “a made-up word that sounds strangely familiar” and title for their debut album that will have wr
