When Zeds Dead first started out, their remixes were untouchable. Whether you’re talking about “Eyes on Fire,” or “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” or “Volcano,” they were always on point. Over the years, their remixes have taken on a bit of a new identity, but the quality remains. Out today is their new remix for Nessa Barrett’s hit “i hope ur miserable until ur dead,” transforming the upbeat, angsty pop anthem into a darker, more foreboding experience. Incorporating elements of classic garage

The brand new collaboration from Chris Lake and Grimes aka NPC — “A Drug From God” — has arrived and it’s the life of the party! Dangerously hypnotic and devastatingly catchy, the track progresses steadily with danceable intentions as the sounds of Chris Lake and Grimes’ new AI girl group collide. NPC intends to “hone the concepts of Art Angels and Miss Anthropocene, finally manifesting the endless characters in Grimes’ head.” Members are infinite in number and can be voted in or out, except fo

AREA21 have released their long-awaited debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1. The album is a culmination of not only the 12 songs written, produced and performed by Martin Garrix and Maejor, who between them have worked with some of music’s biggest artists including Bono, G-Eazy, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Khalid, but also a global visual project in the form of a series of videos by award-winning animation studio Titmouse, Inc. (Dua Lipa, Run the Jewels) which took 9 months to complete, with work b

Avril Lavigne is back with a new single “Bite Me,” which rocks her signature pop/punk edge and then some. Fully loaded with Avril’s iconic-as-ever vocal prowess, a rather on-brand “Bite Me” attitude, and a heavy dose of nostalgia — it’s no wonder the song is a bop. If we didn’t know any better, the production could even pass an early Avril Lavigne cut straight from the 2000s. Marshmello, Travis Barker, Goldfinger frontman John Feldmann, Omer Fedi and MOD SUN are all in the mix with writing and

Hailing from Greece and Italy respectively, house talents ILVS and Feb have received massive acclaim within the industry, yet their latest collaborative release “About You” proves that they’re only getting started. Coming to digital platforms via Sam Feldt’s very own Heartfeldt Records, “About You” brings intoxicating energy to the table, combining emotive vocals with catchy melodies and groovy drums. ILVS, also known as “The Sushi King,“ kickstarted his career back in 2018 and hasn’t looked ba

Made up of experienced DJs and producers YAMAN and iLtik, Boomian have just launched their music career with their debut single “Revolution Populi”, and are looking to take over the dancefloor in no time. Both names are known for the residency at nightclub Boomerang in Hong Kong, which made headlines earlier this year after landing on DJ Mag’s Top 100 Cubs list while being open for less than a year. “Revolution Populi” is signed to Boomerang’s rising record label, and definitely marks an exciti

Mr. Deeds (fka SDF-1) can literally trace his rave roots back to the beginning in LA, appearing on flyers as early as 1995. With that sort of history, it’s no wonder that his sets and production have changed over the years. From some of the darkest darkstep in the 90s to fun and funky dub-laced dubstep to his latest rash of melodic dancefloor jams, Deeds has been an installment on the LA scene for literal decades. Now also installed as an instructor at the prestigious Icon Collective music prod

This past February, Insomniac launched Lost In Dreams as a vessel for showcasing the next generation of producers who are shaping the sounds of future bass and melodic bass music. It’s an amazing mission statement and a great way for new talent to have representation by one of the most powerful and innovative companies in the music industry. The imprint hosted its first Lost In Dreams festival in Downtown Las Vegas in September, boasting a massive lineup including Seven Lions and Gryffin. Along

ATB continues to have a remarkable career and shows no signs of slowing down. A total of 10 studio albums and over 55 gold and platinum awards in numerous countries underline the German’s status. On top, ATB has been non-stop in the renowned DJ Mag Top 100 ranking for almost two decades now After a successful 2021, German dance music legend ATB has returned to the USA for his first stateside shows in quite a while.

Ubbi Dubbi in Texas was the first major electronic festival to return in 2021, after a year of lockdowns due to COVID-19 since March 2020. There were many concerns levied from the fan community, but after all was said and done, no evidence could be found linking Ubbi Dubbi to any significant spread of the virus. The success of the festival in effect gave the green light to many other events to move forward, and here we are at the end of the year with dozens of events under our belt. Things stil

It used to be that to hear from your favorite artist, you had to be listening to the radio at the right exact moment to hear a rare interview when they were in town for a gig, or maybe wait by your local magazine stand to purchase that magazine about their new album with some quotes. With the advent of social media, we’ve become used to artists popping in to random fan communities, not to mention their own Twitter, to speak on various topics. On Reddit, deadmau5 has been known to often pop in t

Fresh off his fresh cover of Kesha’s “Tik Tok” alongside Ella Young, Wasback is back with yet another explosive collaboration, teaming up with Italian production duo Stefy De Cicco and Nashville-based alternative star Sam Tinnesz for “Fences.” At just 21 years old, Wasback is one of the most promising new faces within dance music, while Stefy De Cicco is a name that’s been on the scene for over two decades, recently signing an exclusive contract with Universal Music. Pairing infectious slap hou

It’s been six years since Zedd’s last album, True Colors. With a release campaign that honestly has yet to be upstaged in EDM, the album was a tour de force of the German/Russian producer’s inclination toward electro and pop music, blending beautiful melodies with his classic synthwork and vocalists like Bahari, Selena Gomez, Jon Bellion, Logic & X Ambassadors, Troy Sivan, and Echosmith. Why am I still talking about a six-year-old album? Well, we’ve been waiting on Z3 for a while now and so

It goes without saying the pandemic was hard on everyone. The music industry undoubtedly went through likely the tightest ringer in terms of affecting both the way things are run and the mental and emotional health of its participants. There were a few silver linings, however, as adapting and changing quickly became more important than ever. Online systems got much more sophisticated and efficient and multimedia and creative innovation became key if artists wanted to stay in the game. It was a l

Leading technology company Pollen Presents has announced they are teaming up with the legendary dance music producer Tiësto for a unique experience next year. Going by the name Tiësto: The Trip, the destination getaway will take place from March 31-April 3 in beautiful Cancun, Mexico for an unforgettable escape from reality for 4 days and 3 nights. Beyond a lineup curated by Tiësto that will feature friends, collaborators, and some of his favorite artists, the experience will also include sunri

Skantia seems to be one of those rare acts in D&B who’s calmly and quietly releasing the biggest tracks on earth at every turn. No fuss, no muss, just undeniable bangers. He straddles dancefloor, neuro, minimal and experimental styles like it’s nothing, leaving fans with whiplash from all the head-nodding. With his new Connection EP due out in a  few days and containing collabs with AC13, Bladerunner, KY and Annix – all of whom are also banger machines – we’d say just get a neck brace now.

When you think of electronic dance music, you mind likely doesn’t sway toward the Middle East or Saudi Arabia, but MDLBEAST in the region is hoping to change that. With a successful 2019 festival under their belt and another on the way next month, plus an international music conference, Saudi Arabia could become a hub of electronic music in the region. MDLBEAST PRESENTS announced today the upcoming unprecedented residency of global DJ sensation David Guetta in Riyadh. The series of exclusive an

Anjunadeep warmly welcomes legendary electronic act NERO for their Anjunadeep debut with their remix of Lakou Mizik & Joseph Ray’s ‘No Rival!’. The remix sees the collision of two worlds for Joseph Ray as he partners with fellow NERO founding member Daniel Stephens to reinterpret his single with Lakou Mizik. Building on the fervent, unrestrained energy of the original, the duo harness the passion of its chants, Rara horns, and percussion, to transform it into an electrifying, bass-heavy two

Two years ago, Conrank’s album What’s a FKNG Conrank just narrowly missed inclusion in our Top Albums of 2019 list, only due to serious competition that year. Now, he returns with his next evolution, This Simulation’s Breached. More than a collection of songs, this is a manifesto. Two years ago, when the dust had settled on What’s a FKNG Conrank, it was time to tell the world just what that is. The answer: a musician, a performer, a singer, a songwriter and a producer who has delivered a body o

When Martin Garrix and U2 teamed up for “We Are The People” for the EURO 2020 earlier this year, the experience must have been a good one because the Irish rock band called upon the Dutch producer once again to co-produce, mix, and master their new single “Your Song Saved My Life” from the movie Sing 2. The song sounds impeccably crisp and clear, owing to Garrix’s near-decade producing his own hit music. Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Martin Garrix Co-

Marc-E’s style has certainly changed since his first drop in 2015, a track he created with hip hop group The X Presidents called “One Soul.” After that largely acoustic track, Marc-E started adding production and sound design into his early work, and six years later he’s released his third full-length and fully psybient album, titled “Catharsis.” From his discography, it seems to have been quite a journey. As soon as his first album Here Again released on Bandcamp, Marc-E started injecting ambi

At least eight people are dead, including, reportedly, a 10 year old boy, 23 hospitalized, and hundreds more treated for injuries after Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival in Houston last night at NRG Park. According to photo and video accounts on social media, the festival had been experiencing lapses in security and safety throughout the day, beginning with a stampede through entrance security less than an hour after the festival began. XXL shared a video from the entrance where a massive bot

Oliver Heldens is back with another heavy tune from his Hi-Lo alias, “Hypnos.” While Oliver may be known for his infectious house-driven sounds, he’s been repping the underground for a while now with his Hi-Lo alias. “Hypnos” is just the latest addition to his catalog featuring that trademark heavy bass, massive kick drum, and rumbling melody. Marking his debut on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode label, “Hypnos” is an enthralling song, that will have you grooving to the beat, while also yearning for a dar
