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. From transitions to track selections, there’s a reason that Craze’s decades-long career has continued to afford him billing on some of the best festivals in the world. In this latest mix, Craze explores a number of genres from moombahton to hip hop to trap to

The Man. Earlier this year, he followed it up with The Atlas Underground Fire, bringing on even more incredible collaborators like Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, Bring Me The Horizon, Phantogram, Mike Posner, Protohype, and more. 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

Los Angeles-based producer Shallou is a remarkable artist who never fails to amaze us with his productions. He’s had quite a year, recently concluding his ‘The Long Way Home Tour’ with a string of sold out shows in Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, and more.

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

Starting his musical journey in the EDM scene at 18 after spending his early teenage years as a guitarist in a Metal band, TaylorX began to influence the UK House scene with his bootlegs of charting hits. After falling in love with Dance production and DJing in clubs across the UK, his love for the music never stopped.

To celebrate the release of COWBOY BEBOP on November 19, Netflix hosted an exclusive listening party and conversation with Japanese-American DJ/producer Steve Aoki to discuss his exclusive remix of “Tank!,” the renowned theme song by acclaimed Japanese composer Yoko Kanno. 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

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.

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
