Armin van Buuren hits Chicago Bulls’ NBA home game with surprise guest performance

Yesterday, fans of the Chicago Bulls pinched themselves a few times when Armin van Buuren suddenly graced their team’s NBA game with a huge guest performance. It shook the stadium in both unmistakable magnitude and surprise impact, but the fact that Armin van Buuren dropped by seemingly unannounced does become less unexpected when you factor in one of his latest tracks, “Sirius.” Attentive listeners of Armin van Buuren’s recent collab with Canadian artist AVIRA may have noticed that the track is a rework of the The Alan Parsons Project’s iconic track of the same name, which was the anthem of the Chicago Bulls in the ‘90s. And that led to the five-time #1 DJ playing the single live during the Chicago Bulls’ home game against the New York Knicks at the United Center.
“Sirius,” the guitar parts of which were rerecorded by Armin van Buuren’s brother Eller, naturally took center stage in the Dutchman’s performance, but it wasn’t the only track that supercharged the venue’s ambiance. The Grammy-nominated DJ and producer also played his globally renowned hit ‘Blah Blah Blah’ and his recent collab with The Stickmen Project called ‘No Fun’, which got released on Amsterdam-, New York and London-based record label Armada Music past Friday.

“Last night felt like a childhood dream come true, as I’ve been a longtime fan and also followed the recent Netflix series about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls”, Armin van Buuren says. “It was a great honor to do a special halftime show and I’m still buzzing from the performance.”

Manila Killa & San Holo Team Up With Nick Lopez On Dreamy New Single, “Mean It”

San Holo and Manilla Killa drop the bittersweet “Mean It” ft. Nick Lopez, out now via bitbird/Moving Castle/Counter Records. The song follows a broken hearted lover trying to navigate the brave new world independently and acts as a microcosm for the artists involved both sonically and lyrically. The song came to fruition over the pandemic and was inspired by the distances it created in everyone’s lives, coping with loss, and intimacy.
“Mean It” is such a special song because it represents the intertwining of several people’s worlds. San came over to my house one day to shoot some content for our upcoming show which was supposed to happen in March of 2020, but the world shut down soon after his visit. Kwon and singer / songwriter Nick Lopez were also present in the house and we all started talking, San started playing guitar and we began messing around on Ableton. By the end of the day we all knew we had something special with this song – and it took a life of its own as we continually worked on it over the course of the next year. It’s a song about coping with loss and intimacy which captures the essence of all of our songwriting styles and I feel like it’s a connection that people will understand while listening to it.” – Manila Killa
“Mean It” is one of those songs that came out of nowhere. I started noodling on guitar and the next thing you know we had the idea for the song. It took me coming back to LA earlier this year to finally be able to finish it off everybody. But I’m excited to finally be releasing this one alongside my show at Bill Graham with Manila Killa! – San Holo
The song is San’s first release following his latest album bb u ok? album that came earlier this year and while the single is a stand-alone release, San had lots more coming on the horizon. Listen below.

Moore Kismet Releases Their Next Album Single, & Final Single Of The Year, “Call Of The Unicorn” w/ Tasha Baxter

It’s been a stellar year for young prodigy Moore Kismet. Becoming the youngest-ever to perform at both Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas, not to mention how many other events they’ve played where the same could likely be said, they’ve also put out a huge assortment of singles throughout the year. This includes “Rumor” with WYN, “Vendetta For Cupid” with TYGKO, and a bucket list remix for Tate McRae.
Now, nearing the end of the year, their final single of 2021 has dropped, “Call Of The Unicorn” with Tasha Baxter. It’s also the next single from their long-anticipated debut album.
“‘Call of the Unicorn’ originally started out as a sound design experimentation session, but ended up becoming something so much bigger. When I started flushing out the full arrangement, I realize that I wanted this song to have an anthemic feel. Not too much going on, but still enough to draw a listener into the song,” Moore Kismet explains. “Tasha Baxter is a songwriter and vocalist that I have admired since I was a little kid. When we first met, the only thing we can talk about is how much music meant to us. I sent her the original demo of COTU, and within days, she came back to me with a vocal cut. We want people to feel powerful, beautiful, and strong when they listen to this song. It’s how it makes us feel, and we hope that message spreads to everyone who hears it.”
The release comes with an official lyric video out on Proximity. Check it out below and stay tuned for next year when UNIVERSE finally releases!

GRiZ & Subtronics Team Up Once Again For Explosive “Griztronics II (Another Level)”

There’s very little that I could say about “Griztronics II,” the follow-up collaboration to 2019’s smash hit from GRiZ and Subtronics, that would add anything remotely supplementary to the history or power behind the track. But for the sake of argument, and, to a lesser degree, my job, let’s go ahead and say I tried.
The magic of “ooh this shit be hittin’ different” and the original build are absent from the follow up, in their place instead unbridled dubstep ferocity.
Subtronics says, “‘GRIZTRONICS II’ is a two year long journey in the making, which is technically the fourth song we have made together, but it really hits a music production/engineering sweet-spot for me. Working with Grant is always an honor and so much fun. He has an insane ear for ingenious new ideas and I am constantly pushed by him creatively.”

Kavinsky Returns With New Music After Nearly Nine Years For “Renegade” with Cautious Clay

It’s been nearly nine years since Kavinsky released his debut album, OutRun, featuring his smash hit, “Nightcall.” Since then, the producer has remained enigmatic though not necessarily elusive. A steady social media presence has kept hope alive that he would one day return and, to be corny, answer his own night call.
Last year, he announced a new album was on the way and today we get the first single, “Renegade” with Cautious Clay.
Greatly inspired by cinema, Kavinsky has always intertwined music and storytelling. His breakthrough hit “Nightcall” soundtracked the opening moments of the film Drive, so it’s only fitting that the official video for “Renegade” unfurls like a condensed feature film. After three criminals send him flying through the windows of a skyscraper, Kavinsky emerges with superpowers and exacts his revenge.
Alexandre Courtès (Daft Punk, U2, Jamiroquai), who directed the video, explains, “I wanted to include Kavinsky in a real movie where he is the hero. With all the love and references he and I share, we pay homage to the film craft we cherish. Kavinsky is back with a bang !…. wait, no actually it’s three bangs.”
Check out the track and video below! No date has yet been given for the release of the full album, Reborn, but an educated guess places its arrival next year.

60 Full Sets From EDC Las Vegas Now Available On Apple Music

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 processes behind the scenes are changing. Last month, EDC Las Vegas was held for the first, and likely last, time in October due to COVID-19. Plenty of sets were recorded by fans and you can find them if you look, but you can help your favorite artists directly by simply streaming the sets officially uploaded to Apple Music.
Sixty full sets from EDC Las Vegas are now available on the streaming platform, including NGHTMRE, Tchami, Ferry Corsten, Moore Kismet, J. Worra, Kayzo b2b Knife Party, Slander, Gryffin, Pendulum Trinity, Kygo, Purple Disco Machine, Afrojack b2b R3hab, Kaskade, and more

Jack Shore Debut On NCS With New Single “Dreaming Of Me“ Alongside Tollef And Jaime Deraz 

From kicking off his career less than three years ago, to receiving support from Tiësto, Don Diablo, Lucas & Steve and many more established artists, Jack Shore is definitely a bright example of dedication and consistency. With an impressive 14 singles released in 2019, followed up with more than a dozen more over the past two years, Jack Shore has built an impressive catalog of dance music gems, that have been released on labels such as Magic Records, HEXAGON, Frequency Music, 2 Dutch and more.
To top off his impressive catalog of tunes, Jack Shore’s social media skills are nothing short of impressive. With 220k followers on TikTok, he has built a massive audience that allowed him to gain viral success last year with his remix of the popular meme “My No No Square,” which he later officially released to great acclaim. So far, the single has been streamed almost 10 million times on Spotify.
Now, following his uplifting tune “Seventeen“ featuring Nova May, Jack Shore has returned to share possibly his biggest single this year with “Dreaming Of Me,” which is out now via coveted label NCS. Co-produced alongside Norwegian producer Tollef and featuring singer/songwriter Jaime Deraz, “Dreaming Of Me” sees Jack Shore showcase his usual vibrant house style, yet this time infusing it with a funky, disco-inspired twist that is bound to amass international attention in no time.

Over the duration of “Dreaming Of Me,” the three artists masterfully showcase their chemistry, crafting an irresistible record that is filled with exciting guitar and bass licks, as well as hard-hitting drums. It marks Jack Shore and Jaime Deraz’s fourth collaboration to date, so there’s no doubt that the pair will be back with more heat sooner rather than later.
If there is someone deserving of a successful career in music, it’s definitely Jack Shore. Based in Jerusalem, Israel, the 20-year-old producer, film composer and DJ has been honing in on his craft as a musician for a decade now, starting to learn how to play the drums at the tender age of 10. Jack Shore struggled heavily in school as a result of having dyslexia, ADD, and ADHD, and while he initially used music as an escape – especially after he discovered GarageBand at 15 – it quickly became much more than that. Now, he is making his dreams come true as a result of his talent and dedication, and we’re excited to see where he takes things next.

Your EDM Premiere: Hybrid Theory Teams UP With New Artist I.C.U and Vocalist Nehanda to Watch the World ‘Burn’ [Korsakov]

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 Theory is partnering with Korsakov Music on their newest singles, two collabs with brand-new Bristol-by-way-of-Southwestern UK artist, I.C.U. As close as one can get on the European continent to a pop D&B label, it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall in that meeting. That said, the dancefloor vibes of “Sick” and “Burn” are undeniable and Korsakov Music has been known to do some genre-bending of its own, so for this release it’s pretty clear the tracks are well-suited for the Dutch imprint.
In true grassroots, Hybrid Theory style, the Birmingham boys have discovered and brought up a new artist from nearby called I.C.U on “Sick” and “Burn.” With his first release on Gorilla Warfare a well-plotted and melodic dancefloor joint called “Hush Hush,” it’s likely that’s how Hybrid Theory found him as they’ve also got recent and upcoming tracks on the Deekline and Ed Solo-headed label. With a speed and flow to their work in common, it seems inevitable, however, that these two artists would cross paths.
“Burn” featuring another up-and-comer, vocalist Nehanda, and its b-side “Sick” seem like a perfect melding of Hybrid Theory and I.C.U’s styles (at lease from what we know so far). “Sick” rides the harder edge of dancefloor and has a lovely OG neurofunk roll to its beat. The artists clearly drew on the old school in general for this one, as “Sick” would fit in at any 1998-2001 rave just as much as a modern festival. There’s that Hybrid Theory grassroots magic again: never relinquish the rolling beat and intelligent bass synth.
Our premiere track, the somehow even more ravey “Burn” has a similar structure both in terms of the beat structure and that crunchy bass synth. It’s made more ravey, in part, by Nehanda’s strong vocals which both intro and break the track. Complimenting that powerful vox are more blown out yet higher pitched synths that form a secondary melody as the sound design leans towards cinematic. It’s clear the strengths of both artists really shine and compliment each other on this track.

Korsakov Music · I.C.U & Hybrid Theory ft. Nehanda – Burn “Burn” will likely be another track from Korsakov Music that fans won’t be able to escape on the dancefloor this season, but why would you want to? Expertly composed and easily recognizable thanks to Nehanda’s vocals and those synths, Hybrid Theory and I.C.U’s  “Burn” and its sister track “Sick” are the perfect marriage of classic and new, underground and big room. No doubt these track will burning up a dancefloor near you soon.
“Burn” and “Sick” drop on Korsakov music this Friday, November 19. Pre-order here.

Now, he’s set to release his second album of the year on December 3, yet another installment in the Atlas Underground series with Flood.
Morello has spoken at length in recent interviews that the collaborative process led to countless songs created during the pandemic, and a second album seemed almost inevitable. Featuring a slew of all-star collaborators including Nathaniel Rateliff, Jim James, IDLES, Ben Harper, Alex Lifeson, Kirk Hammett, X Ambassadors, Barns Courtney, Manchester Orchestra, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and more, Morello will continue to showcase his signature extraordinary guitar-playing across these 12 new genre-bending tracks.

Last night, Morello was joined by grandson on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform the television debut of their hit single, “Hold The Line”, off of Morello’s sister album The Atlas Underground Fire.
Of the new album, Morello said: “The Atlas Underground Flood finishes what The Atlas Underground Fire started. Fire and Flood are my ‘London Calling.’ Admiring The Clash at their apex moment, I sought to make a double album where artistic intent supersedes genre. I aimed to forge a central curated vision to tie together a sonically fearless, wild, and wide-ranging musical ambition with a tremendous cast of collaborators. And of course, there are many guitar solos.”

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 only just over 2 minutes long, but it’s 100% worth it.
Check it out below!
