Syzy's Stunning Debut Album Reveals the Beauty In Life's Burdens: Listen

With bass drops that feel like emotional free falls, Syzy's debut album, The weight of the world, captures the vertigo of growing up in a way words alone never could.
The breathtaking album has the feel of a bona fide breakout for Syzy, one of today's most promising producers of dubstep and riddim music.
Whether or not you're willing to admit it, riddim has sadly grown prosaic, falling victim to repetition and stagnation as artists recycle the same presets and arrangements en masse. Syzy, however, stands out as a contrarian producer infusing the grating genre with an emotional core, producing bitcrushed dreamscapes unburdened by the expectations of others.
That approach is in the bone marrow of The weight of the world, wherein she captures the essence of a generation that wears its emotions like QR codes—instantly scannable yet infinitely complex.
Syzy.Corson Agency
An undeniable highlight is "HEART123," which beautifully weaves the growling bass of dubstep with the raw, melodic undertow of digicore. Syzy's effervescent production here is a masterclass in tension and release, with glitched-out drops that plummet like a like a broken elevator, only to be caught by gossamer threads of synth. Meanwhile, kmoe's quavering vocal delivery teeters between whispered confessions and bold declarations, mirroring the push and pull of a budding romance.
Elsewhere in the album, Syzy shows out with the melodic riddim stunner "Take my energy!." The SoCal producer kicks off with a hometown callback by sampling an MLB broadcaster's call of the first career home run hit by Angels legend Mike Trout back in 2011. She then drops a fizzy banger where distorted synths slice through chugging subs.
Syzy's tenacity comes to a head in the album's cathartic closer, "Dancing on my own," a captivating rush of hyperpop that unshackles her from society's judgmental gaze. The track is a microcosm of the full project, a commentary on shared struggle and resilience in the face of apathy's fog.

Two Friends Drop Saucy Breakup Anthem ‘Wrong Way’ with Alexander Stewart

Two Friends and singer Alexander Stewart team up for ‘Wrong Way,’ a track that’s as catchy as it is cathartic. It’s the fun-spirited break up anthem that you didn’t know you needed for the summer.
Stewart’s smooth vocals draw you in from the beginning, weaving a tale of a relationship gone wrong. Then, the beat drops – a powerhouse explosion of sound complete with a funky horn section. This is where the twist comes in: Stewart declares, “I finally wrote you a song, I hope you take it the wrong way.” This ain’t your typical heartbreak anthem. “Wrong Way” flips the script, offering a sassy and playful send-off to a past love. The accompanying visualizer features electrifying clips from Two Friends’ sold-out Red Rocks show, where Stewart surprised the crowd with a live performance of the song for the very first time.
‘Wrong Way’ marks Two Friends’ hottest collab yet in 2024. Earlier this year, they teamed up with Arizona Zervas on the infectious ‘Hiding'(April) and joined forces with Cheat Codes for the high-energy dance-pop anthem ‘The Way It Is’ (February), which has racked up millions of streams. This track builds on their impressive streak, following last year’s smash hit ‘If Only I,’ a collaboration with diamond-selling dance duo Loud Luxury and chart-topping pop star Bebe Rexha.

ISOxo, Knock2 and RL Grime Team Up for Monster Trap Track, "smack talk"

In the electronic music world, Knock2, ISOxo and RL Grime move with a menacing hush. While they may linger in silence for months, their sudden releases erupt like thunderstorms and make statements that reverberate through the scene.
This holds true for "smack talk," a merciless trap track released moments ago by way of the esteemed record label and Asian hip-hop collective 88rising. Following ISOxo's surprise appearance during Knock2 and RL Grime's b2b set at Ultra Miami 2024, the track quickly became one of the festival's most anticipated IDs.
"smack talk" is a bold middle finger to expectations, showcasing the production prowess of two rising superstars alongside one of trap music's most influential producers. The track harkens back to classic festival trap vibes with its booming 808s, but masterfully takes the genre to new heights with ISOxo's signature metallic snares, Knock2's pulsating basslines and Grime's atmospheric builds.
The track arrives in the midst of a busy year for ISOxo and Knock2, who were named to the EDM.com Class of 2022 and 2023, respectively. Known collectively as ISOKNOCK, the duo debuted at Coachella in April and Knock2 is now preparing to release his debut album, nolimit, later in 2024.

KDrew Dances On the Edge of Sanity In Stunning New Single, "Hysteria"

Bridging the chasm between euphoria and despair, KDrew dissects the human condition in his new single, "Hysteria."
The melodic bass track pulsates like a feverish heartbeat, its thunderous kickdrums intertwining with haunting melodies to mirror the frantic energy of its title. As the song's propulsive arrangement progresses, you can't help but be swept away by the sheer force of KDrew's cinematic production.
Meanwhile, his powerful vocals explore temporal dissonance, framing a mental snapshot of someone caught between past mistakes and an uncertain future. With the precision of a surgeon and the soul of a tortured poet, his words evoke a sense of urgency, inviting us to confront our own demons in a world of unrelenting change. "We're lost in the waste of two different places / When we wake up, new generation / Where we go through the pages of all our mistakes before all our time is up," he croons.
That theme is masterfully echoed in the song's drops, where a latticework of frenetic plucks and growling neuro-bass creates a sense of being suspended between two worlds. To that end, "Hysteria" is more of a primal scream than a song, speaking to the collective anxiety of a generation and distilling it into two and a half minutes of unfiltered emotion.

Two Friends and Alexander Stewart Pen Witty Breakup Track, "Wrong Way"

Imagine a love letter penned with a smirk, where every line is a playful jab at an ex who always craved a song written just for them. That's exactly what Two Friends deliver with their new single, "Wrong Way."
With smooth vocals and a clever twist, the song’s lyrics tell the story of a breakup where singer Alexander Stewart finally fulfills his ex's wish for a song—but it’s far from the romantic ballad they might have imagined.
The production is a hallmark of Two Friends' signature style, bringing biting humor wrapped in infectious melodies. From a production standpoint, the duo incorporate melancholic acoustic guitar strings and bright brass melodies that lift the track into festival-ready territory.
"Wrong Way" comes amid a slew of successful dance-pop collaborations for Two Friends, including "The Way It Is" (with Cheat Codes) and "If Only I" (with Bebe Rexha and Loud Luxury).
On the live front, the DJ duo kicked off the year hosting Big Bootie Land in Los Angeles, where they explosively premiered the 24th installment of their beloved "Big Bootie Mix" series. They're now gearing up to take the stage at Madison Square Garden on August 24th to debut its landmark 25th volume. Tickets to their upcoming performance at the Garden are available now.

Loreno Mayer, Quizzow And Alessa Unleash Monster Collaboration, ‘Without Your Love’

Listen to a beautiful, warm track we recently came across.
We’re just getting ready for the weekend ahead, and for that we’ve been packing up suitcases and burning CDs like the old times. Not really, but what we have been doing is looking for exciting music to share and play on repeat for hours on end. This one might just do the trick for you. Meet today’s artists, Loreno Mayer, Quizzow and Alessa.
Loreno Mayer
Croatian-born Loreno Mayer has been on a roll lately. After being played by ARTY all over the world and gathering support from Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Timmy Trumpet, and many others, he’s unveiled a ton of new material — and he’s got a ton more underway —, proving his tales over on the music industry are only getting started. In fact, we’ve already shared one of his recent tales on our page.
Quizzow
Also on creative duties on today’s feature is Quizzow, a producer who’s been taking the scene by storm. A lover of the Trance sound, he’s got signed to labels like Enhanced and Armada, and has been heard and played by the likes of Paul van Dyk, Cosmic Gate, and the British trio A&B as well.
Alessa
New-York-native Alessa is an international artist and songwriter who’s gathered well over a million streams on Spotify alone. Her works have been gracing and shaping Revealed Recordings since 2019, but far from only being a pivotal voice in one of Dance music’s greatest labels, she’s also seen signings on Proximity, Spinnin’, Sony, and many more.
Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here.
‘Without Your Love’
What sees the three maestros coming together this time around is ‘Without Your Love’, a conjoint work of them, recently released through Hardwell’s imprint, Revealed. This is far from being the first time the artists share a piece, though, as it is Mayer and Quizzow’s 4th collaboration, and, according to them, this is the most different one of them all.
The single also has a long story of morphing in its sound throughout its creation. As Loreno tells us, the song had another vibe prior to this version. He had more of a Progressive House idea at the start, but which lacked some “summer freshness, some good new chords and a new idea”. He says, “Quizzow came up with the chords for the break and sent it back to me just to hear, and I instantly imagined the entire track in my head”. After that point, the track was crafted in just two days, and polished in a week.
And summery it feels. The track is a true anthem for the summer ahead, combining Alessa’s heartfelt vocals and tone with a plethora of elements which only add to the feel-good vibe. You’ll find pianos, strings, tambourine hits, and a mid-2010s Progressive House build that will take you back to those golden years of melodic 128 BPM drops.
Listen to Loreno Mayer, Quizzow and Alessa’s ‘Without Your Love’ in full by clicking the Spotify button we’ve provided. Also, be sure to follow the artists on their socials — just hover over each of their names to be redirected.

French President Reveals "Music Week" to Rival Amsterdam's ADE and Miami's MMW

A French Music Week in Paris could happen as early as 2025, according to recent remarks from the country's President, Emmanuel Macron.
Summits like Miami Music Week and the iconic Amsterdam Dance Event unites fans, artists and industry professionals from across the globe. Regularly featuring a variety of panels and discussions alongside shows and festivals, they are crucial hubs for electronic dance music enthusiasts to network and, of course, dance until the sun comes up.
Macron has now revealed that a French "Music Week" is taking shape. Attending the Fête de la Musique festival in France on June 21st, the French President said an event could happen next year in the country's capital.
"I think we need to go even further," Macron told Radio FG in comments translated from French. "I would like us to create a major festival like we do in Miami or Amsterdam, which firstly allows all music professionals to come together, for example for Fashion Week, and to have very large concerts and very large festivals the days preceding... the music festival."
Macron went on to praise the French electronic music scene, crediting artists like Jean-Michel Jarre and David Guetta for their influential work on a global scale.
It's important to note that neither Macron nor his administration has formally announced a French "Music Week" at the time of this writing.

Generative AI Music Service Udio Responds to Major Labels' Explosive Copyright Lawsuit

All eyes are on the music industry at the moment with regards to AI's impact on copyright law. Udio, a generative AI music service that was recently sued by the three major labels, has now issued a statement in response to allegations of extensive copyright infringement.
Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Records claimed that Udio, as well as another leading generative AI music program called Suno, violated copyright laws by training their models on protected music without permission.
"Our system is explicitly designed to create music reflecting new musical ideas," reads a statement shared by Udio on X. "We are completely uninterested in reproducing content in our training set, and in fact, have implemented and continue to refine state-of-the-art filters to ensure our model does not reproduce copyrighted works or artists’ voices."
"We stand behind our technology and believe that generative AI will become a mainstay of modern society."
Recording Industry Association of America CEO Mitch Glazier, who is spearheading the lawsuits, voiced concerns about irresponsible AI developers who are offering unlicensed services and, in turn, threaten the integrity of human creativity.
"The music community has embraced AI and we are already partnering and collaborating with responsible developers to build sustainable AI tools centered on human creativity that put artists and songwriters in charge," Glazier said in a statement. "But we can only succeed if developers are willing to work together with us. Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s 'fair' to copy an artist's life's work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all."

Attendees Outraged After Attending Kygo’s Palm Tree Music Festival In The Hamptons

There is a quite a bit of negative feedback circulating from attendees of the Palm Tree Music Festival, put on by Kygo in Southhampton last Saturday, June 22. Ravers who attended the event are reporting long wait times for shuttles, alcohol shortages, and no water.
Festival attendees also claimed it was “dangerous chaos” at the end of the event, as crowds dashed to make the last train home. Getting to the event was also a struggle, apparently, as ravers waited in long lines and missed sets waiting to get on shuttles from the Long Island Railroad.
The comments on Palm Tree Music Festival’s Instagram are telling. Many complain about the amount spent on the event ($350+) and request a refund.
Another attendee commented: “Kick off the summer right by getting completely bodied by 50+ people trying to get on a bus & getting elbowed in the face by a grown man!!”
There were, however, no reported injuries at the fest.
Palm Tree Music Festival took place Saturday, June 22 at Shinnecock Nation in Southhamtpon. The lineup featured headliners Kygo and Swedish House Mafia, with support from Sofi Tucker, Purple Disco Machine, Xandra, Flat Stanley, and Will Sass.
The festival struggled with permitting issues this year, and as a result, was not able to proceed at its usual location at the Westhampton Beach airport. Whether this was the cause of this year’s issues is unclear, as the festival has had three previous successful years.

Syncia Delivers Massive Reworks Of SUNANA’s Summer Hit Quimbara

UK’s Syncia continues his impressive production streak with two incredible reworks of SUNANA’s massive clubland hit “Quimbara.” Syncia’s Tribal Remix delivers a succinct rhythmic workout with a slightly deeper edge, while the Kiss Mix directly targets main room positioning, and is poised to become a certified chart-topper already hitting Beatport and Traxsource genre Top 100 positions.

The original version immediately shot up the charts and gained favour with DJs across the world, including a recent sample by Barry Can’t Swim, who signed it to Ninja Tune. It has also received consistent Radio 1 support from Danny Howard, Pete Tong and Sarah Story highlighting its broad appeal. This summer-fueled anthem shows no sign of stopping with its raw and unadulterated uplifting energy.

Syncia has recently remixed tracks for heavyweights including Kink, Inner City and Soul Central, with his sound becoming synonymous with floor filling, club weapons. His releases have consistently featured on Radio 1 and also topped Beatport, Traxsource and ARIA charts consistently. Recently signing a multi-track deal with Vicious Recordings in Australia and releasing on Alan Fitzpatrick’s – We Are The Brave it’s clear to see Syncia is fast ascending to the upper echelon of producers cutting through.

Continuing to ignite audiences across the globe, Syncia is resident at 338 in the UK and has performed from Miami to Ibiza already this year. Marking his debut at SONAR and Secret Garden Festival, alongside a residency at Back To Mine for Days Of Disco, where he kickstarted the season with for their roadblock ADE party at Pikes with the likes of Eats Everything, Fat Tony, EFKT (Soul Central), Mas Que Nada Brothers and Black Hawks Of Panama, Syncia is established as one of the leading nu-school artists of the moment.
Syncia’s distinct style has firmly ignited the industry and garnered support from pivotal publications DJ Mag, FACT and Mixmag and heavyweight DJ’s including Maceo Plex, Laurent Garnier, Nicole Moudaber, Jamie Jones, Mark Knight, Peggy Gou, Emerald, Offiah, Alaia & Gallo, Ferreck Dawn, Sam Divine, Roger Sanchez, HiFi Sean and Tini all championing his tracks. Once Syncia heard the original “Quimbara” and saw it instantly ignite clubs, he set out to bring his trademark energy to the SUNANA release. Originally signed by Open Bar Music, the CENTRL team has licensed the new mixes to their imprint, following a string of successful releases.
Over the past few years, SUNANA has continued to lead the UK’s Tech House and Afro Latin scene. They have positioned themselves on labels such as Sony Music, Adesso, and their own The Vibe Arrived, lifting their YouTube views to an impressive 10 million. A stream of notable artists regularly supports them, including Arielle Free, Black Coffee, Vintage Culture, Themba, Joris Voorn, David Penn, Oscar G, Tom Novy, Diesel, Sergio Flores, and Benji Candelario. SUNANA is rapidly becoming one of the strongest brands to watch.

On Friday, July 12th, SUNANA will be performing at Glasshouse on The Roof at NYX during the “House of Amigos” by Afronauts and “The Vibe Arrived” event, with a secret afterparty to follow. They will also be appearing at multiple festivals this year, showcasing their innovative sound. A combination of unique talent from both SUNANA and Syncia is actively creating a focus on the UK and its breaking talent that are spearheading a prominent change in direction and a multi-genre approach in 2024.

Watch Never-Before-Seen Footage of Avicii's Final Performance In Sweden

April 2024 marked six years since we lost Avicii, one of the most iconic DJs and electronic dance music producers of all-time.
The Avicii Experience, an interactive tribute museum in the artist's hometown of Stockholm, recently honored his life by hosting exclusive screenings of his final DJ set in Sweden. The never-before-seen footage was recorded at Avicii's performance in Pildammsparken, Malmö on August 5th, 2016.
The rare video has now been released on Avicii's YouTube channel for fans who weren't able to attend one of the screenings, which had taken place in the museum from March 28th to April 7th on a 100-square meter, 8K curved LED screen. Check out the footage below.
In other Avicii news, the heartbreaking final moments of his life were revisited in a new documentary, Avicii: I'm Tim, which recently premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival.
Academy Award-winning film producer Lawrence Bender is currently developing another documentary about Avicii. The project, which Bender called "eye-opening," will feature interviews with the legendary DJ's family and friends as well as "previously unreleased footage" recorded around the time of his discovery and rise to fame.

Billy Gillies Talks New Single, Worldwide Hit ‘DNA (Loving You)’, Touring & More!

Belfast, Northern Ireland-based DJ/producer Billy Gillies returned alongside Welsh singer-songwriter Betsy for ‘Fair’, just a couple weeks ago. The track, which already proved to be a viral fan favorite around the world via a series of popular TikTok videos has taken off even more, quickly becoming the producers most liked singles. This one followed last year’s ‘DNA (Loving You)’ ft. Hannah Boleyn, which proved to be Gillies’ biggest success thus far with more than 100 million worldwide streams and over 100 million creations on TikTok to date. We had the pleasure of chatting with this emerging talent about this single, his brand new one, and a number of other topics.
Hey Billy Gillies, thanks for taking the time to chat with us, how are you doing today? 
Hey I’m really good, just touched down in Magaluf for a sold out show at Mansion Mallorca tonight so I’m buzzing to be here, played here a few times last year and it’s always great energy so let’s go! 
Let’s kick things off with your brand new single ‘Fair’, how happy are you for it to be out now? 
I’m absolutely delighted to finally get it out, it’s been one of my most requested tracks to be released and the feedback I’ve had from it so far has been amazing. 
The single is almost like a homage to the uplifting era of trance, is that something you aimed for or did it come as you were making the single? 
Trance is where it all started for me and it will always hold a big place in my heart. When I heard the Betsy vocal I knew I would do something amazing with it. The project just flowed and I’m really happy with the outcome, I have a huge trance fan base and wanted to bring out something for them, as that’s where my music career started and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. So a special thank you to all my loyal fans. 
This single follows on from the massively successful ‘DNA’, did you feel any pressure to follow up on that single with another hit? 
I definitely felt the pressure with the follow up. With DNA being my first original release on Atlantic Records, I never really knew what to expect with it and didn’t expect it to go as big as it did. I’m still on a buzz with how successful it has been. For me it’s never been about making “hits,” that will always be a massive bonus. For me it’s about staying true to my sound and making music I enjoy whether it’s underground club music, trance, house, techno or anything in between. 
Speaking of ‘DNA’, when creating it and getting it ready for release, did you have an idea on how big it might be? 
I knew it was going to be a big hit in my dj sets but I never would have imagined it going as big as it did. I think it will definitely go down as a dance classic. 
That single, along with your new and old releases, all seem to have a slightly different style/vibe to them, how important is it for you to be as dynamic as possible with your releases? 
Yes I love to be as diverse as possible with what I produce. For me it’s all about stepping outside the box, keeping an open mind and experimenting while staying true to what inspires me, that’s what keeps it fun in the studio. 
You’re heading on the road to play a number of shows, what is it like for you to step on stage and the crowd recognise your singles? 
Honestly it is the best feeling in the world hearing the masses sing back a track or even just chanting back the melodies. For me this is something I’ve always dreamed of and I have to really pinch myself sometimes. I don’t think it will ever really feel real. I feel so blessed to be in this position. Sharing my music with different audiences around the world is something I’m very grateful for.
 What is the one tune that you must play when performing? 
There are quite a few but over the past couple of years, “Lagoon” has been a track I have always included in my sets as the reaction that one gets every time is just crazy. I actually have something special coming with an amazing singer on it. It’s a perfect summer track so keep your eyes peeled on that! 
Thanks for taking the time to speak with us, do you have anything else you’d like to say to our readers?
Just want to say thank you for taking the time to check out this interview. Also a massive thank you to all my loyal fans around the world. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you’s. Keep an eye out for more releases this year, I have got a lot more amazing music to share with yous all.
