XILS-lab has launched The Eighty — effectively acting as a virtual Vangelis soundalike homage to an iconic Seventies-vintage synth classic that the Academy Award-winning Greek musician, composer, and producer of electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music made into his signature sound, thanks to its exceptionally complete performer expression features (such as a layered keyboard that was both velocity- and pressure-sensitive in action, albeit, unlike most keyboards of the ti

Yamato has had a career that seems like some sort of movie. Yamato won “WORLD DJ CONTEST 2013 JAPAN” hosted by Coca Cola. He was then asked by Avicii at the world contest, held in Ibiza, to perform with him at the festival in Budapest, Hungary, which led him to become the first Japanese DJ/producer to perform with Avicii. With the backbone of having been a technical developer of Pioneer CDJ series, Yamato’s superb skill and DJ style that utilizes Pioneer DJʼs CDJ is known to be a style that no

Yanoy is back with "Take Control," a stunning house track out now via One Desire. In the cavernous depths of his latest offering, the rising Chicago DJ and producer plunges headfirst into the abyss of human despair. With its spellbinding production and vulnerable lyrics, the haunting, techno-inspired release resonates like a primal scream. "Bad days, black thoughts, I can't be focused," the vocals plead, threading a harrowing mantra that encapsulates the suffocating weight of mental anguish. But

Showcasing the best of both dubstep and drum & bass, YDG's "Lose Control" is here to remind us that true skill knows no bounds. The track kicks off with intensity, steeped in flittering, digitized melodies as it builds before giving way to a tactful blend of melodic and heavy dubstep. From there, it only escalates. The vocals and tempo pick up together, delightfully confusing listeners and preparing us for what's to come. Right as it all seems ready to give out to more ground-shaking bass, Y

Surging bass music producer YDG has released "Echo," a grimy showcase of his production skills. Using no shortage of bass to scratch every itch in our brains, the track alternates between haunting vocals and grating saws, both of which fittingly echo through the arrangement to breathe life into its title. With a knack for producing popular remixes like that of John Summit and Sub Focus' "Go Back" and its murph's "Down Low," YDG has been on a roll releasing original music. Earlier this month, he

The Loop has started a new year-round programme to deliver its pioneering onsite drug testing at Drumsheds and The Warehouse Project, with testing in the autumn 2024 clubbing season to monitor trends in the drug market for safety. For the first time The Loop has received HO licences to test at venues, building on its work at festivals over this summer.

The cool thing about producer, composer and experimental artist Dylan Tauber’s work is that even though it is on the experimental end of EDM, it’s still EDM and it’s universally palettable. Oftentimes experimental music can be sharp or harsh, as the artist gets so caught up in experimenting with sound and the science of it all, it fails to be music in the eyes and ears of some audiences. This is not the case with Tauber, whose pedigree is firmly rooted in complex composition and sonic science, b

It’s been three years since D&B, bass music and scoring producer Billain’s breakthrough massive album Nomad’s Revenge dropped and really changed the way we think of cinematic sound in bass music. As the 2019 epic was basically a sonic storyboard that could have easily attached to a video game or film, the story ended on a bit of a cliffhanger with its last track “Revenge” and Billain did promise the journey would continue. That’s what nomads do, after all. Three years may seem like a long t

Ten albums in three years. That’s still the cosmic mission of the Berlin post-kraut trio YELKA with Daniel Meteo, Christian Obermaier, and the namesake Yelka Wehmeier. With the album “For,” there was a Label change. After releasing three albums in 2023 with Maurice Summen, head of Fun In The Church they passed the label responsibilities to Karaoke Kalk. Karaoke Kalk is a friendly label founded in Cologne known for establishing the Berlin post-wende scene (fall of the wall scene). The tri
