Insomniac Absolutely Delivers for 25th Edition of EDC [Event Review]

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 feel as comfortable and familiar as it’s ever been, more than any other year, I felt like I was home at EDC.


Although this year’s EDC was a milestone one, and Insomniac managed to expand the festival footprint even more, this year’s festival felt very much like comfort food to me. If you’ve been to the festival, you know what I’m talking about. It’s literally just a warm fuzzy feeling as you traverse the Speedway, a million LED lights lighting up the night sky. If you haven’t been before, it’s tough to describe the sense of wonder one feels at EDC. More than any other festival you will attend, EDC is an immersive world that is spellbinding. But, if you didn’t make it, we’ll try our best to let you know what you missed out on.
My friends and I left the Strip early enough on Friday evening. There was traffic, which was to be expected, but, overall, getting into Premier Parking was relatively easy. We ended up walking in the gates around 9 PM, just in time to head over to Kinetic Field to catch Nicky Romero’s set. Kinetic Field is, of course, the main stage, and it’s design and theme change every year. This year’s theme was kineticZen. The stage featured a massive owl at the center of the stage, it’s wings wrapped in a circle around the main LED display. It was the first time the owl took center (literally) stage since 2015’s The Crystal Village, which also featured a massive owl head, whose eyes gazed all across the dancefloor. The pyro and lasers were exceptional this year, the fountains added a nice touch too.

One of EDC’s most amazing features is always the nightly fireworks show. After more than two years away, Day 1’s fireworks were a sight for sore eyes. I caught the show on the dancefloor of Kinetic Field and it was truly awe-inspiring to see the spectacle play out across the electric sky. But, that wasn’t all, if you were at Kinetic Field you were also treated to a very special drone show. Drones made formations of the EDC logo along with a 25 year commemoration. Most impressively the drones formed the shape of the owl that adorns the stage. It was really impressive and a memory that will certainly stick with me.
As far as the music, it was an all-star lineup at Kinetic Field where I spent most of the night. Nicky Romero dropped his festival-ready progressive house as well as classic EDM anthems like “I Could Be the One” and “Toulouse.” I couldn’t think of a better way to open up the weekend. Loud Luxury followed with a delightful set that saw them drop an impressive array or edits of some of today’s biggest hits. Don Diablo was up next and he kept the positive vibe going with a healthy mix of house bangers and his trademark future house sound including rousing drops of “Momentum” and “Anthem.”
After that, my most anticipated act of the night, the Chainsmokers took the stage. Alex and Drew brought all the energy with them as they dropped all of their hits and dabbled in every genre of dance from house to psy-trance. I was singing my heart out on songs like “Takeaway”, “Don’t Let Me Down”, and “Paris.” But, on top of that, they closed their set out with their first new song since 2019. It was a vibey one too, but, new Chainsmokers was a highlight for sure. After that, Alesso took the stage, and he threw the kitchen sink at the crowd. He threw down some newer house jams like “Together”, “Progresso” and Swedish House Mafia’s “It Gets Better” before getting into his big festival classics like “Under Control” and “Calling (Lose My Mind)”. After that, we made a brief jaunt to Circuit Grounds to check out some of Excision’s set. The vibe was completely different from stage to stage. Despite how large EDC is, it’s kind of the perfect festival to dig in and plant yourself at one stage for the majority of the night. Whatever your vibe is, find it.

On to Day 2, which still featured magical performances, but also featured a few hiccups that have to be addressed. My friends and I headed out early in the afternoon in hopes of catching some of the Opening Ceremony at Cosmic Meadow. Despite having premiere parking and arriving around 6:15, we were waiting in the line with many other patrons until the gates opened at 7 PM. What happened? How come there weren’t any signs directing patrons to the proper entrance? Everyone clearly came early for a reason, I’m just confused as to how people who arrived early weren’t directed to the proper entrance for the Opening Ceremony. Definitely a snafu on Insomniac’s part.
Once inside, I spent most of the night at Circuit Grounds. The stage design was pretty much the same as it’s been in years past. Massive rectangular LEDs surrounding the dancefloor in a 360 degree square. Circuit Grounds is my personal favorite stage because it features main stage talent bringing their own personalized visuals in a slightly more intimate environment. Future bass was in full effect as ARMNHMR were the first act I caught. It was a nice mix of feels and heavy to start the night off right. After that, Benny Benassi took over, and this is where the lineup is just packed to the brim. The legendary Italian house DJ played to a packed crowd that ate up his vintage tech house hits and a few festival bangers, including the Skrillex remix of “Cinema.”

Oliver Heldens was up next, and he dropped all of his bangers. From old school hits like “Koala”, “The Right Song” and “You Know” to newer bangers like “Turn Me On” and his remix of “Another Chance”, Oliver energized the crowd all while maintaining that signature Oliver Heldens sound. This set was a delight. After that, Slander took the stage, and there were equal parts head banging and crying. The crowd was super energetic, my neck was sore, and I didn’t even go that hard. Favorite moments had to be when they dropped “Feeling Good” and “Love is Gone.” After that, it was time for Martin Garrix. It’s been a long time since the Dutch megastar has graced the stage here in the U.S. and he brought it all, including at least a couple of new IDs. But, like the festival itself, Martin played his greatest hits. He did open his set with what appeared to be a new ID with John Martin. After that, it was all of Martin’s bangers, “Like I Do”, “Backlash”, “Virus”, “Mistaken.” He also brought out Maejor for an AREA21 medley, too. On top of that, the stage production was just at another level. Lasers firing everywhere, smoke filling the arena, every color you can imagine.
Remember how I said the fireworks were awe-inspiring on Friday night? They were still great on Saturday, but this time, I watched them while waiting in line for the bathroom at Circuit Grounds. This one isn’t necessarily Insomniac’s fault, but they were having some plumbing issues at the VIP bathrooms at Circuit Grounds, and it wasn’t very VIP. The men’s lines weren’t nearly as long as the women’s, but it was wet waiting in line, and it was kind of stinky at Circuit Grounds VIP. Again, not necessarily Insomniac’s fault, but it was definitely an issue.
Anyway, smells aside, deadmau5 played the Circuit Grounds stage next, and he threw down a set for the ages. He threw down all of his old school hits like “Ghosts N Stuff”, “4×4=12”, and “Strobe” and his newer stuff like “When the Summer Dies”, “Monophobia” and “Bridged by a Lightwave.” On top of that, Joel was in a mood; when he ended his set, he introduced Jauz as DJ Steve, and he ranted about how they went to DJ school together. Jauz, ever the good spirit, went right along with it and introduced himself as DJ Steve (he’s Sam) to the crowd. From there, Jauz threw down a fiery bass house set, that once again saw all of the visual spectacle of Circuit Grounds come to life. After that, I headed back over to Kinetic Field for KSHMR. Similar to deadmau5, KSHMR dug deep into his catalog of songs for classics like “Neverland”, “Wildcard”, and “Karate” to newer hits like “Winner’s Anthem” and “Midnight Lion Walk.” He also payed homage to his roots with the Cataracts by playing the 2010 classic “Like a G6.”
After two loaded days, we fell back on Sunday night, and got there about 9:00 with nowhere in particular to go. The perfect opportunity to explore the festival. This year, I did something I’ve never done at EDC before, catch full sets at Basspod and Wasteland. We opened the night catching Joyryde’s “All D’n’B Set” at Basspod. Once again, I was struck by how different the vibe and crowd was at Basspod compared to Kinetic Field. It’s night and day, and if your heart desires, you can stay at Basspod all weekend and have a great time. Joyryde’s D’n’B vibes were the perfect way to kick off the final night of the weekend. We caught a little bit of Purple Disco Machine at Kinetic (and it was a vibe!) before heading over to Wasteland for Da Tweekaz. Once again, I’d never caught a full set at Wasteland, but it was well worth it to check it out. Da Tweekaz threw down a killer set, the crowd was fully engaged and, like Basspod, the sound hits at Wasteland.

After that, I headed over to Circuit Grounds for Eric Prydz. He might have had the set of the weekend, incredible progressive house tunes, EDM classics, incredible visuals, lasers, fireworks; everything EDC is about. Eric dropped “Pjanoo”, “The Arrival” “Rebel XX” “Everyday” and “Opus.” Combined with the world class visuals and lighters, this was an unsurpassed set. Also, “Opus” is the perfect song for fireworks too. From there I made my way to Cosmic Meadow for my first set of the weekend there, Zedd. I never thought I would be writing this, but, the crowd for Zedd was rowdy as fuck! It was packed to the brim at Cosmic Meadow as Zedd threw down an epic, but familiar set of hits like “I Want You to Know”, “Beautiful Now”, “Clarity” and his edit of “One More Time.” Zedd also mixed in some house tracks, and, oh yeah, he brought out Martin Garrix and they dropped “Tremor.” What a dream come true, now they just need to make a song together.
There’s not too much more I can say about the festival. It was a truly magical weekend; being back at the Speedway was a special feeling. On another note of normalcy, EDC will be returning to its regularly scheduled weekend in May of 2022. It took longer than normal, but, it was another incredible weekend under the electric sky. As EDC always shows, the magic and the memories will continue. Here’s to another 25 years under the electric sky!

Watch Skrillex Throw Down For His First Set In New York In 4 Years [FULL SET]

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 widely known that his live sets still go absolutely off, and that seems to be the consensus about last week’s show at Avant Gardner. BMR vlogs on YouTube was there and captured the full, incredible set, now available for you to rewatch if you were there, or watch for the first time if you weren’t able to make it.
Check it out below and head to 1001tracklists here to see the full tracklist.

Apollo XO & Rich Furniss Team Up For Tech House Heater, “I’ll Be There” [Bang This]

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. His talent is undeniable and he currently plays upwards of 200+ sets a year and holds residencies at Studio Paris (Chicago), Underground Nightclub (Chicago), FWD (Cleveland) and Blind Dragon (Chicago/LA). 
It’s safe to say Apollo XO has pioneered quite the remarkable path for himself, and the same can be said for his collaborator, Rich Furniss. Formerly known as MopTop and founding member of the group Passè, Rich Furniss has been active in music industry spaces for over 10+ years, has played alongside names like Diplo, Chromeo and has had the opportunity to perform at events like SXSW, Governors Ball. 
Together, these two artists make an incredible team, and their talent shines on their tech house banger “I’ll Be There“.

Wave Racer Releases Long-Awaited Debut Album, “To Stop From Falling Off The Earth”

Sydney-turned-Melbourne producer Wave Racer today releases his long awaited debut album, To Stop From Falling Off The Earth, out now via Eora/Sydney-based tastemaker label Astral People Recordings.
Collecting singles ‘Dreaming,’ ‘Left Behind,’ (featured in Wave Racer’s set for Porter Robinson’s Secret Sky Digital Festival in April) and ‘Look Up to Yourself’ (performed live for triple j’s Like A Version in August), To Stop From Falling Off The Earth’s eleven tracks blend together the rush of his trademark glistening, ecstatic 64-bit production with Wave Racer’s love of quirk-driven pop and, in a first, his own voice, to tell a story of overcoming anxiety, depression, and isolation. Retaining his trademark bubbliness with tongue-in-cheek production – even as the album tackles bigger demons – To Stop From Falling Off The Earth uncovers an emotional depth to Wave Racer’s music that has patiently, quietly matured alongside Tom Purcell, the man behind the moniker.
“All of these songs are made from a feeling of being at a loose end – like flailing around in the wind directionless, with no anchoring in reality,” says Purcell of the album’s resonant emotionality, a sonic balm for anxious times that reverberates for both the listener and its creator. “To Stop From Falling Off The Earth is an attempt to say, “this album is going to remind you about the things that you can do to ground yourself.” And these are the things that have happened to me and have worked for me – this is a story about preventing myself from losing touch with reality.”
Inspired by The 1975’s artful balance of irony, sincerity and observational story-telling, Tom reveals more of himself than ever before on To Stop From Falling Off The Earth – all with a signature self-awareness that never takes itself too seriously. The result is vulnerable, self-deprecating pop layered deeply with electronic embarkations; equal parts playful and introspective, light and dark, and an assured re-introduction to the juggernaut talent that is Wave Racer.

NGHTMRE & Zomboy Team Up With Georgia Ku For 100th Release on Gud Vibrations, “Shell Shock”

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 and Zomboy prove they’re a match made in heaven as they attack this heavy dubstep ballad with rapid-fire synth work and pummelling basses. A hard-to-miss release from this iconic bass brigade on Gud Vibrations, “Shell Shock” combines the best of both worlds by effortlessly dissolving dainty cadence into riotous bass mayhem. Saturated with his hallmark of apocalyptic horns and Zomboy’s crisp distorted drums, NGHTMRE’s newest single is sure to envelop listeners in pure pandemonium.
“I don’t do many collabs. But when I do it’s always something special. When NGHTMRE approached me with this amazing topline from the super talented Georgia Ku, it was a no-brainer to jump on the track! What a great way to celebrate Gud Vibrations 100th release.” – Zomboy

Florian Picasso & Martin Garrix’s GRX join forces again with ‘Far Away’ [LISTEN]

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 video and first music video give a hint of what’s to come. The story-based music video of ‘Far Away’, directed and written by Loïc Schütz, cinematically portrays Picasso wandering through the desert without any sign of life, far away from his world. The end of the video sees Picasso getting thrown into a new universe, which undoubtedly won’t be the end of this storyline.
“Héritage EP pays tribute to the legacy of my late grand great father Pablo Picasso by an exciting piece of music and images,” says Picasso.
One thing is for sure: we will be hearing and seeing a lot more from Florian Picasso the coming months as the full story will slowly start to unfold.

Marshmello & LIL DUSTY G release alternative single “Preached” on Marshmello’s Polar Culture Label

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 the only artist so far.
This Marshmello x Dusty guitar-infused single is accompanied with a music video directed by Drew Perez, visualizes an alternate dystopian reality that exhorts the contrast of LIL DUSTY G’s personal and sanctimonious dispositions. Together, Marshmello and LIL DUSTY G empirically blend the modern day dark rock and hip-hop genres alongside the Texas-based rapper’s vocals that express poignant themes of somber melodies and bone-chilling honest lyricism.
“Preached” is dedicated to making a lasting impression on fans as the keynote of the single denotes turning deep hate into something positive thus encouraging others to find their own passion or rather live in their own ignorance.

Deadmau5 and Foster The People Team for Wistful Single, “Hyperlandia” Out Now On Mau5trap [LISTEN]

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 night.
We’re only here for a day, so tell me your name
And just melt into my arms while we disappear in the darkness.
When combined with the twinkling synth melodies and progressive bassline, the effect is bittersweet. 
Deadmau5 is no stranger to collaboration, having worked frequently with artists like Lights and Wolfgang Gartner. The single is not Foster The People’s first appearance on an electronic record, either. The band also worked with Louis the Child on the March 2020 hit, “Every Color,” and Mark Foster made a solo appearance on Madeon’s 2015 album with “Nonsense.”
The single is available as a radio edit and in the original vocal version, which adds two minutes of bonus dreamy beats. There is quite literally not a second of this either version that is unenjoyable. Our prediction: It’s only a matter of time until we’re hearing this on the radio!
Listen to the dreamy collab below!

New Artist Spotlight: Sines Documents ‘A Series of Moments’ With a New Album

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 new album A Series of Moments, released earlier this month, he’s done just that.
Presumably named after the sine wave synth work that is prolific throughout all his releases, Wann’s new Sines project started in January last year with a self-titled debut LP and followed up quickly with another album, Dancing in Place, in May of the same year. With lashings of Kaskade, ODESZA and fellow Portlanders Washed Out, Sines and Dancing… had tight, clean sound design and more than a little throwback cachet in both the synths and the vox. Conjuring images of Madonna dancing in Desperately Seeking Susan and basically the whole soundtrack of The Breakfast Club, Wann as Sines declared his intention to bring the new new wave in dance music.
Mission accomplished, if Wann’s work on Sines so far is anything to go by. Of course both writing dance songs like pop songs and throwback 80s synth vibes aren’t exactly a new concept, but both the level of commitment and the attention to detail are unique to Sines. He dug even deeper for A Series of Moments, pulling from real OG influences like Kraftwerk, Donna Summer and Blondie to really dial in the emotion. with the diverse vocalists on this album, what resulted was an even stronger nod to the emotive, minor key-driven and post punk-tinged sounds of new wave but with updated techniques and more attention to what EDM sounds like now. An excellent blend of new and vintage, pop and electronica with no compromise on sound quality or feeling.
Wann began teasing A Series of Moments in June with its lead track, “Something in the Way.” Vox on this one are by Kitty Richardson, who more than understood the assignment, adds even more 80s indie design. Richardson’s operatic, Kate Bush-like vocals make the track so much richer and deeper. Apparently on top of his synth talents, Wann also knows how to pick his female vocalists.
Conversely, a vocalist like Emily Coomber has a deeper and more definitively new wave sound to Richardson’s, sounding a bit like Susan Ann Sulley from The Human League. Wann matched her to “Under the Waves,” which may remind other old school indie pop lovers of The Cure’s “Plainsong.” The partnering with multiple vocalists allows Wann to be even more diverse in his composition. From Bellabeth’s bell-clear timbre driving the more modern “Run Underground” to Christina Siravo’s full range funk pairing on “Mr. Ciao” and back to Richardson’s heart-rending performance in album closer “Iva,” the collabs in A Series of Moments bring out the best in both the vocalists and the producer.
Artists like Wann who want to keep the sounds of early dance music alive are important, especially as the EDM pop juggernaut goes through its more lackluster phases. With more than 50 years of history, there are scores of influences to pull from now to make something new. Despite his obvious technical prowess, it’s clear that Wann as Sines is more about conjuring those early dancefloor feelings than anything, and by teaming up with the varied and talented vocalists, he’s shown through A Series of Moments just how strong that feeling can be.
A Series of Moments is out now and can be streamed on Spotify or Bandcamp, where it can also be purchased. Check out Wann’s YouTube channel for more music videos from this album and others. Wann’s also released an interesting “Theatrical Cut” of ASOM on Vimeo.

Avicii’s Final Performance Of “Levels” Uploaded To YouTube In Honor Of Its 10th Anniversary

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.

Subtronics Drops Insane Flip Of ACRAZE “Do It, To It” At EDC [WATCH]

“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 wild. Subtronics’ own video leaves out the suspenseful build but one of the fans in the crowd replied with the full drop and it’s absolutely insane.
If you want to make this remix official, go show your support and RT!

Wooli Drops New Collab With Illenium & Grabbitz At EDC [WATCH]

Wooli, arguably the most well known purveyor of sad bass music (if that’s what you choose to call it), played EDC this past weekend. If you were at his set, you probably saw Grabbitz come out as a special guest to sing live over their new collaboration with Illenium.
Captured by @goonass_bhris at the festival, the song is equal parts emotional and bass-filled accompanied by Grabbitz’s “butter on toast” voice, and it sounds amazing! Since Illenium just released his deluxe Fallen Embers album, it’s hard to predict when this might be officially released. But we can hope that it will be some time next year.
Check out the clip below!

Charlotte de Witte voted No. 1 in DJ Mag’s Alternative Top 100 DJs Second Year In A Row

Charlotte de Witte has retained the No.1 spot in DJ Mag’s Alternative Top 100 DJs 2021. The historic win means the Belgian DJ and producer has now won back-to-back No.1 spots.
This is the fourth year that DJ Mag has presented the Alternative Top 100 DJs list in association with Beatport. The results are calculated by combining votes from the global Top 100 DJs poll with a genre filter based on insights and data from Beatport.
Charlotte de Witte is one of the world’s most recognizable techno DJs, and in ordinary times plays hundreds of gigs a year. Rather than reveling in time off during the pandemic, though, she kept on working to expand and evolve her KNTXT empire.
In a sign of increased gender balance in the less commercial genres that are reflected by this poll, 50% of the top 20 artists in the Alternative Top 100 DJs — including de Witte at No. 1, Peggy Gou at No. 5, Amelie Lens at No. 6 and Nina Kraviz at No. 8 — are women.
Although the top 10 contains the same DJs as the 2020 list, Jamie Jones and Boris Brejcha are marginally up and Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz and Adam Beyer marginally down. Deep house aficionado Nora En Pure is a non-mover at No.10.
The top 13 DJs in the Alternative Top 100 DJs list all amassed enough votes to appear in the main Top 100 DJs poll too. The likes of Black Coffee, Maya Jane Coles, Honey Dijon and Nicole Moudaber are all up several places in the top 25, and the Highest New Entry — in at No. 26 — is Dutch-born techno prodigy Reinier Zonneveld. He has released on Carl Cox’s Intec and Richie Hawtin’s Minus when not putting out music on his own Filth On Acid imprint.
Just behind Reinier at No. 27 is Andy C, a veteran of the main poll but included in the Alternative 100 this time thanks to the widening of the criteria to include drum & bass DJ/producers. Dubfire, Nastia, The Blessed Madonna and Enrico Sanguiliano are also up a significant number of places in the top 40, while Northern Irish duo Bicep are the Highest Climber, up 46 places to No. 33.
There are 18 new entries in the Alternative Top 100 DJs chart overall — including Russia-raised, Italy-based DJ Anfisa Letyago, Sub Focus, Paul Woolford, Jayda G, Sama’ Abdulhadi, John Summit, SHERELLE, Robert Hood and Octo Octa — and two re-entries in the form of DJ Koze and Alan Fitzpatrick.

Two Friends Exceed Expectations With 20th Volume Of Big Bootie Mix

For more than six years, Two Friends have been gracing the world with their Big Bootie Mixes, putting together an assortment of songs that seem impossible to mix and the amount of which seems staggering to even the most seasoned DJs. (Of course, putting it together on Ableton Live helps.)
Now, the duo are here again with the 20th installment of the mix, putting together a group of over 100 songs in an hour, from electronic to pop to hip hop, and everything flows seamlessly. Just listen to how they mix in “My Shiny Teeth and Me” at 6:39… yes, that one. Or mixing “Inside Of You” from ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ into “Industry Baby” by Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow. Just, perfection.
See the full tracklist here.
Catch Two Friends on their Adventureland tour which begins this week!! Tickets here.
