Las Vegas has long been a home away from home for Alison Wonderland, who has announced a high-profile residency at Zouk Nightclub. The superstar DJ, producer and singer-songwriter has graced some of the city's most visible stages, including EDC Las Vegas. She's also performed at major cultural events like Life Is Beautiful and the inaugural Neon City Festival—which debuted during the Formula 1 Grand Prix event this past November—and, in a heartwarming twist of fate, recently wed her husband in a

Music festivals are a sacred space to let your freak flag fly. But after rattling the rail for hours in the desert heat, many are left with raccoon eyes and a melted base with nowhere to turn but a filthy porta-potty. Alison Wonderland gets it—raging that hard takes tough makeup that won't crease, cake or disappear, and you need fortified formulas as relentless as you are. She's now launched FMU Beauty, a "festival-friendly" cosmetics line to let your makeup face the music with you. An ode to th

Alison Wonderland, the Aussie DJ and producer, isn’t just about dynamic performances and Future Bass beats—her style is as whimsical as her music. And now, she’s stepping it up a notch with her very own makeup line, Fuck Me Up Beauty. Seeing a chance to blend her love for tunes and makeup, Alison created a brand that’s all about the wild energy of the festival scene. But this isn’t Mary Kay—it’s for those who want to rock out boldly, whether they’re raving at Tomorrowland or hitting up EDC.

Alison Wonderland becomes the latest artist in electronic music to announce their own label, FMU Records. FMU Records is hitting the ground running with its first offering, “I Surrender,” a single from the label’s first signees, the inimitable Jon Casey and Dabow. The track features a blend of each producer’s signature sonic elements, and arrives on the heels of their early November-released projects: Casey’s collaborative single, “Harder,” with Erbes on Subsidia, and Dabow’s hip-hop doused tre

No stranger to explorative undertakings outside of music, Alison Wonderland has officially launched her festival-geared, cruelty-free new line of cosmetics, FMU Beauty. Since minting FMU Records in December 2022—six months after unveiling her third studio album—the Australian visionary went on to revamp her Whyte Fang alias, playing a wide range of high profile shows leading up to Whyte Fang’s debut album, GENESIS, issued in April 2023. Perhaps the most significant delivery of all, Alison Wonder

It’s not uncommon for artists to release vinyl exclusives, as Alison Wonderland did with “Down the Line” on the vinyl of her latest album, Loner. Luckily, the single is now available on DSPs and is out today with a new music video. The official video for the track follows the misadventures of a trio of motivational speakers – acolytes of a fictional “Down The Line” movement, helmed by Alison – as they try to inspire a lackluster crowd. It was directed by Alison’s frequent collaborator, Prad Sen

Since releasing “TIDES” nearly a full year ago, the hype for Whyte Fang, Alison Wonderland’s indie project from 2011, has grown steadily. Now, as we approach the end of this year, her next single is here: “333.” Apart from her main project, Alison Wonderland has been creating more industrial electronica for years but hasn’t felt the time was right to release any of it until now. She says “I have decided to release this music separately to Alison Wonderland because I want these beats to live in

Alison Wonderland today announces the release of her 3rd studio album, Loner, set for release on May 6 and available to pre-order now. The pioneering electronic artist and producer also shares her new single from “New Day” from the forthcoming album. After coming through a period of darkness, “New Day” is the sound of Alison falling in love with life and the potential each day holds. The song, which she wrote and produced, seamlessly melds acoustic and ambient elements to create a cinematic sou

Today, Alison Wonderland returns with her third studio album, Loner, following her latest Awake (2018) and debut album Run (2015). The 12-track album is Alison’s most soul-bearing album yet, and unique in that it’s all her. Setting itself apart from her two previous albums, there are no collaborations on Loner, whereas past albums have featured the likes of Trippie Redd, Slumberjack, GANZ, and Lido. Throughout her career, Alison has been a courageous advocate for mental health discussions and h

Starting late last year, Alison Wonderland began dropping her first new singles since 2020, signaling the imminent arrival of her third studio album. Beginning with “Fuck U Love U” and then “Fear Of Dying,” we now know they are the first singles from her next album: LONER. Alison dropped her first album in 2015, Run, followed up three years later by Awake. Via regular updates during the pandemic, we knew Alison Wonderland was working on plenty of music and now it’s only a matter of time before

The latest single from Alison Wonderland’s forthcoming album, Loner, arrives today, and it’s one of her most emotionally-charged songs of her career thus far. She explained the song’s genesis on Twitter: “I remember exactly where I was I was in the car. At a Starbucks drive thru. With my friend. I was truly at rock bottom. […] I was feeling hopeless. I looked at my friend. Tears streaming from my face. Almost begging I said to him. IS IT GOING TO FEEL LIKE THIS FOREVER?! He turned to me and sai

Even during the throes of the pandemic, Alison Wonderland was putting out music. Unlike other producers (not to say any one way of approaching the pandemic was “correct”), she took most of this year to lay back rather than last year. Earlier this month, she revived her Whyte Fang alias and played the project’s debut performance at Brownies & Lemonade’s event at LA State Historic park with Moore Kismet, IsoXO, and others. Now to cap off the year, she’s released her first (and probably only) A

The latest from Alison Wonderland, “Fear of Dying,” is nothing short of a masterpiece. Through the dizzying sounds of “Fear of Dying,” which Alison wrote and produced, she unpacks feelings of anxiety and crippling fear of losing someone close to you. The vulnerability AW exhibits is as present as ever in this new single, as she begins a new journey by confronting her past head on. “Fear of Dying” comes on the heels of “Fuck U Love U,” a certified trap banger tinged with dark, relatable emotion

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

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

The alluring duo of Alix Perez and EPROM as Shades receives its 5th EP release, The Dance Of Death, today. Four tracks paint the picture through the project, featuring a heavy concoction of innovative bass sounds. The EP opens with “The Corruption,” the project’s only single. Here listeners are introduced to the heavy atmosphere and haunting modulation of The Dance of Death. “The Creation” follows the same eerie soundscape narrative, allowing staticky, glitched out synths to ring in and out of

Slated for April 5-9, Texas Eclipse 2024 will take place at the 1,300-acre Reveille Peak Ranch, which is being transformed into a thriving metropolis of creativity, insight and inspiration as we write.

This past Sunday, All Day I Dream made their pit stop during their Summer world tour at the iconic Brooklyn Mirage in New York. It is a fitting location being in the city where it all started back in 2011, and now draws in thousands of attendees every year. Headlining his own event is none other than label boss Lee Burridge who brought along Facundo Mohrr, Double Touch, Dim Kelly, and Sinca. photo credits: Bryan Kwon All Day I Dream is a spectacle to be hold with their iconic blue colored

Electronic music fans have received a hard-learned lesson in media preservation after Nest HQ, the defunct media platform owned by Skrillex's OWSLA label, removed all of its original music from SoundCloud. As the Internet Archive battles existential legal challenges and repositories of our favorite websites remain at risk, preservationists around the world have been alerting the public that no media existing entirely online is safe, and backups are essential. That's hit particularly close to hom

If you’re making the journey to the desert for Coachella 2024, get ready to be blasted by a barrage of eye-catching billboards lining Interstate 10. The roughly 50-mile stretch of highway from Riverside to Indio has become a prime advertising battleground as brands and artists aim to capture the attention of festivalgoers before they even arrive. This year, the billboards are showcasing an eclectic mix of acts from Coachella‘s lineup. British grime pioneer Skepta has a major presence, no doubt
