AREA21, the collaborative project between Martin Garrix and Maejor that began in 2016 with the surprise breakout hit “Spaceship,” is finally gearing up to release its debut album next Friday. Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is… a bit of an oddly titled album, given that it’s composed entirely of newly released singles in 2021 plus six unreleased singles. None of the project’s supposed “greatest hits” like “Spaceship,” “Glad You Came,” or “We Did It” are on the album. But, oh well, I guess? The album comes

It’s been seven years since Alison Wonderland last released a solo original under her Whyte Fang alias, but she’s back today with “TIDES,” a brief but thundering 105-second instrumental. Waiting this long, or paying attention to all the hype around a new Whyte Fang single and then going on Spotify and seeing “1:45” for the duration definitely felt like a bit of a letdown at first. But after listening to the single, and hearing no wasted space, it’s a bit refreshing, as well. Objectively the Wh

We’ve been highly anticipating new music from North Carolina’s very own, Snyder. Whether he’s delivering electrifying performances opening for artists like Steve Aoki, or creating incredible music in the studio, we’ve come to know just how special of an artist Snyder is. It’s been a few months since we heard new music from the young and promising artist, and he did not fail to blow us away with his brand new single, “Tonight“, featuring friend and longtime collaborator, Northside Rocky. Seeing

The sold-out eighth edition of Suwannee Hulaween brought more than 100 artists to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park last weekend, including heavy-hitting DJs like Skrillex, Bonobo, and Chris Lake. All three iconic producer/DJs gave stellar individual performances on Friday night, then surprised revelers by playing their first-ever b2b2b set at the festival’s infamous after-hours stage, Incendia. The impromptu star-studded trio effortlessly coalesced behind the booth, serving up a blisterin

Alison Wonderland fans know of her side project, Whyte Fang — but based on the account’s 214 monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s unlikely that many others do. That will change tomorrow as the project is poised to release its first solo original ever, “Tides.” Whyte Fang showed up in 2012 on the Reign (Remixes) EP from Elizabeth Rose with a remix of “Ready,” and again in 2013, featuring on a Lancelot track, “Thinking Of You.” (There are some other originals on her SoundCloud.) With seven years be

Rezz’s third album, Spiral, is due out later this month, November 19, and she just revealed the full tracklist. Including previously released singles “Chemical Bond” with Deathpact, “Taste Of You” with Dove Cameron, “Sacrificial” with PVRIS, and “Let Me In” with fknsyd, we are getting seven new songs including a collaboration with Peekaboo and another with Metric, for a total of 11 tracks. (“Spun” and “Vortex” are listed twice in the graphic below.) Chemical Bond w/ Deathpact Let Me In w/ fkn

It was a celebration for the ages as EDC made its triumphant return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway after almost two-and-a-half years. There were many milestones to be celebrated, aside from the return of the event itself. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the Electric Daisy Carnival, and the 10th anniversary of the festival’s move to Vegas. Not only did Insomniac deliver as per usual with grandiose production, immaculate planning, and a totally stacked lineup. They also made the Speedway

Today Do LaB, originators and creators of the boutique festival experience Lightning in a Bottle, have revealed the lineup for the event’s 2022 return to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California. For five days on Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-30, LIB will gather a unique blend of torchbearers from an array of genres and origins to its renowned creative tapestry.

Following the success of the Blade Runner 2049 film from 2017, Adult Swim has released an animated series called Blade Runner: Black Lotus that merges the established Blade Runner universe with a more anime-style presentation. Along with the series, the original television soundtrack contains 15 new songs from the likes of X Ambassadors, Tori Kelly, G-Eazy, iann dior, as well as a collaboration from Alesso and Danna Paola. Check out the song from Alesso below as well as the opening sequence fr

Few artists can trend on Twitter for simply announcing a single show, but that’s what Skrillex did last week before his grand return to New York City at Avant Gardner, his first set in the state in four years. It’s been a long four years for Skrillex fans, bombarded with promises (or, rather, rumors) of an album, year after year after year. Not to mention plenty of releases that spanned various genres, many of them outside what was considered the artist’s “typical” style. Nonetheless, it’s wid

RÜFÜS DU SOL recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to deliver an outstanding performance of their massive hit “On My Knees.” Riding the wave of their fourth studio album Surrender, the electronic band is currently on tour with stops planned in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston and more. This is just a taste of what it’s like to see them live, but they manage to reach through the screen and touch our souls. MORE: RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Fourth Album ‘Surrender’ Feels More Human & Heartfelt T

From playing sold out shows at some of the country’s most popular nightclubs with artists like Drake, Rae Sremmurd and Wiz Khalifa to playing star studded celebrity birthday parties for the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio & Toby Mcguire to shutting down festival stages, Apollo XO has quickly became a premier Open-Format Dj.

After dominating electronic and hip-hop spheres with “MOSH,” NGHTMRE brings Zomboy back to life for their incendiary dubstep showstopper, “Shell Shock.” Featuring a vocal addition from the widely-renowned Georgia Ku, the two bass music titans deliver a larger-than-life collaboration for the milestone 100th release on Gud Vibrations. Fusing Georgia Ku’s tranquil crooning with bone-chilling basslines, “Shell Shock” is a record of biblical proportions bound to blow you out of the water. NGHTMRE an

Florian Picasso & Martin Garrix’s GRX have joined forces again, and today they bring ‘Far Away’ into the world. The fresh, uplifting track marks the first output from Martin Garrix’s GRX alias since the release of ‘Restart Your Heart’ last year, which also featured Picasso. ‘Far Away’ marks the beginning of a new story for Picasso who announced the coming of his brand new Héritage EP this week. The release date of the full project is still a secret at this point, but the spectacular trailer

Ever since LIL DUSTY G began to break boundaries in 2017 with his songs “Waste Your Time,” “Ghost Rider,” and “Burn,” everyone has been anticipating more music. The time is finally here. LIL DUSTY G has released the lead single “Preached” off of his debut album on Marshmello’s record label Polar Culture, with the label head as a featured artist. Marshmello started his own hip-hop producer collective and label imprint Polar Culture label in 2020 and has since signed 6 producers with Dusty being

Continuing to build hype for their forthcoming album, Adventure Club team up with BEAUZ and Tilian from post-hardcore darlings Dance Gavin Dance for the new single, “Drive.” “Drive” is a three-minute track that features melodic vocals delivered by Tilian Pearson from the Sacramento-based band Dance Gavin Dance. The track combines Tilian’s distinct vocals with an ethereal and energetic electronic track that uplifts listeners while showcasing Adventure Club’s signature synth drops and melodic bas

More and more we’re seeing comparatively mainstream artists joining forces with those in the EDM world. Already today we’ve seen deadmau5 and Foster The People, and we also have MEDUZA and Hozier teaming up for the new single, “Tell It To My Heart.” The track breaks down walls between genres and borders all at once. With pulsating house music production and a dancefloor-ready groove, it builds to a striking and soulful climax from Hozier. His instantly recognizable voice takes hold under a diff

Another day, another Deadmau5 collaboration that we are obsessed with! The latest by Deadmau5 is a single shared with indie pop band, Foster The People, and it will seriously make you feel things. Between the haunting vocals and rippling, progressive soundscape, “Hyperlandia” establishes itself as a unique release, perfect for a late night drive or bedtime lullaby. Foster The People frontman, Mark Foster, adds his unmistakable vocals and a touch of sorrow to the production. Give me your best

Jason Wann isn’t exactly a new artist, especially around his hometown of Portland where he’s been creating interesting, synth-based  music under a number of monikers and is active as a DJ in the local scene. Clearly well-versed in the ways of the synths, Wann’s work is heady, emotive and laced with classic 80s dancefloor style. His latest project, Sines, was invented specifically to marry his synth-heavy house and techno style with female vocals and blur the lines between EDM and pop. With his n

Avicii announced his retirement from touring and music in March 2016 (though he eventually returned in 2017 for his final EP before his death, AVĪCI (01) ), but it wasn’t until August in 2016 that he played his final live performance at Ushuaïa in Ibiza. Today, on the 10th anniversary of “Levels,” his team has uploaded his final performance of the track from his final show. And it’s almost poetic in a way that it was the Skrillex remix. Watch the emotional “Levels” moment below.   Photo

“Do It, To It” from ACRAZE, released on Thrive/Virgin a couple months ago, could be heard all around EDC this past weekend, from Zedd opening his set at cosmicMEADOW with a Squid Games mashup to ACRAZE himself coming out for Andrew Rayel’s set at kineticFIELD to premiere a new remix. The track could also be heard from bassPOD thanks to Subtronics, who played out his own flip of the chart-topping record. The original swerving house tune turned into a massive headbanger that had the crowd going w
