Carl Cox announces legendary set at Great Pyramids of Giza

Future Sound of Egypt, the label from Aly & Fila, made history in 2017 when they, Armin van Buuren, and Paul Thomas played sets illuminated against the Great Pyramids of Egypt for the first time. Artists have played at worldwide iconic sites many times before, like Paul Oakenfold at Stonehenge or David Guetta at the Eiffel Tower. There’s something about dance music that seems to bring people from all cultures together (it’s also easier to travel with a pair of decks and a mixer than a full band).
In less than two months, another legend will travel to Egypt for a legendary set at one of the world’s seven wonders: Carl Cox.
“MAY 19th, 2023. EGYPT. THE GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA. OH YES!!!!”
His headline show will be supported by Philipp Straub and Gawdat.
Tickets start at 3000 EGP ($100), with VIP tickets from 5000 EGP ($162). Click here to purchase.

Sullivan King holds nothing back on 3rd studio album, “Thrones of Blood”

I got a text from Sullivan King two days ago, “YOOOO you hitting that A7X forum show or what?” Of course, I’d already bought my tickets and responded with a screenshot of my seats and, “You fuckin know it.” On a personal level, I’ve known and have been covering Sullivan King since 2014 — I remember walking into Icon Collective, from which he’d just graduated, in 2015, for our first sit-down interview. We bonded over our appreciation of metal, especially Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu. I almost got my first tattoo of his signature on my chest (after he’d actually ripped my shirt open) after his show at the Belasco in Los Angeles in 2017, supporting Black Tiger Sex Machine.
We’ve been through a lot and walked the same path in these past 9 years. Through two other studio albums, his first mainstage play at Lost Lands, headline sets in Los Angeles, he has continually honed his craft leading to today, the release of his newest and most ambitious and rock-influenced album, Thrones of Blood.
The album’s collaborations span between Taylor Barber of Left To Suffer, to SVDDEN DEATH, Excision and more, and boasts previously released singles including the massive “The Dead March” with Ray Volpe, the speaker-shattering collaboration with Excision, “Fall Apart,” and the highly anticipated assaulting SVDDEN DEATH collaboration “Pursuit of Violence.” These are accompanied by new tracks like “Die By My Hand” with Vastive feat. Taylor Barber of Left To Suffer, “Riot” with Kai Wachi and more.
There’s even a surprising sample of The Rock’s famous “Shut up, bitch!” toward the end of “End of Us.”
Listening through the album, you’re bound to find a bunch of subtle (or not so subtle) nods to the past of metal and rock as well as plenty of influences from his contemporaries even outside of the explicit collaborations.
Check it out below!

Just days after the release of Thrones of Blood, Sullivan King is hitting the road on a 30+ date tour, headlining iconic venues including LA’s Hollywood Palladium (two nights in a row), Emo’s in Austin, DC’s Echostage, the Majestic Theater in Detroit, and more. This tour features special guests Kai Waichi & YOOKiE and support from Level Up, Benda, and Vastive.

Kaskade & deadmau5 release debut, self-titled album under new supergroup, Kx5

It’s been 15 years since Kaskade and deadmau5 first paired up on “I Remember.” Today, only a little more than a full year since the two officially paired up as Kx5 for the release of their first single, “Escape” with Hayla, their debut, self-titled album Kx5 is officially out.
The full album features 10 tracks, 6 of them previously released as singles. New additions include “Bright Lights” with AR/CO, “pwdr Blu” with Brother., “Eat Sleep” with Richard Walters, and the closing track on the album, “Unobsidian.”
Even with only a few “new” songs in the final release (the amount of pre-album singles released is addressed in this recent interview by Billboard), Kx5 feels incredibly cohesive. It’s no surprise coming from two of dance music’s preeminent veterans.
Listen to the full album below.

Skrillex, Fred again.., & Four Tet keep releases coming with hotly anticipated, “Baby again..”

If you’ve been following the journey of Skrillex, Fred again.., and Four Tet this year, you might have come across the name Pangbourne House Mafia. The trio are back again following the release of two Skrillex albums, a sold-out Madison Square Garden show, and so much hype with one of their most anticipated singles since Fred again..’s Boiler Room set last year, “Baby again..”
For those curious how PHM came to be, Skrillex shared the story on Instagram today for the track’s release:
Last summer @fredagainagainagainagainagaiand I booked a little house on the river in this village called Pangbourne out side of london to work on music. I was working on my album and Fred was working on his boiler room. We invited @fourtetkieran over and told him he could Stay with us … he we like “I’ll come over and see what happens.” Then Fred and I clocked a tooth brush hanging out Kierens backpack … this moment marked the birth of the Pangbourne House Mafia …
The song prominently samples Lil Baby’s “Baby,” hence the title of their massive collaboration. The song has been a banner moment in many of Fred’s sets since Boiler Room, especially at MSG when the song coincided with the first time that night that the lights were brought down, creating an incredible effect.

We loved the idea but struggled to find the right fit for the song until Claud sent us back their incredible vocal top line,” said ODESZA (Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight). “As soon as we heard what Claud put together we knew we had something special. The vocal melodies and delivery compliment the track in such a perfect way. We couldn’t be happier with how this one came together and are really excited for people to hear it.”

M83: “EDM is probably one of the styles of music that I hate the most”

The amount of times a DJ has dropped “Midnight City” by M83 set is almost incalculable at this point. The track originally appeared on the double album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, released in 2011. According to a quick synopsis of the album’s success, “The album placed 3rd in Pitchfork’s Top 50 Albums of 2011 list; the single ‘Midnight City’ was placed 1st on the Top 100 Tracks list. On January 26,  2012, M83 came in at number 5 on the Triple J Hottest 100 with the single ‘Midnight City.'”

It was a massive hit in every way possible, and arguably singlehandedly led to M83’s massive popularity. However, Anthony Gonzalez, the remaining sole member of the group, has stated multiple times in interviews that he laments the song’s popularity. In an infamous 2019 interview with VICE, he said, “[…] these days, I kind of just want people to forget about me and my previous success— Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming and ‘Midnight City.'”
Now, in a more recent interview with Consequence, he has doubled down.
“I mentioned this in an interview before, but it’s almost that I want to keep the fans of ‘Midnight City’ away from entering — which I mean mostly as a bad joke,” Gonzalez said.
“For me, the struggle with being a successful artist with that album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, and especially with that track, ‘Midnight City’, is that all of a sudden, I had this huge EDM following. EDM is probably one of the styles of music that I hate the most. All of a sudden, I have these bro EDM DJs playing my music, and I just can’t even care less. Sometimes I wish that I could erase that fan base but I don’t think it’s possible to do that.”
This isn’t something that EDM fans will necessarily take personally, but nonetheless it’s disheartening to hear that the artist behind a song that popularly shows up in hundreds of sets per year has maligned an entire fanbase wholesale.
The interview comes ahead of M83’s ninth studio album, Fantasy, due out this Friday, March 17. You can read the full interview here.

Modapit “Falling In Love” director describes challenges & vision for new project [Interview]

In the real world, Modapit has seemingly come out of nowhere, presenting a parallel between his real-life aspect and the character he portrays in the media surrounding his music. Questions of being an industry plant are unavoidable, but if the music is good, the point becomes rather moot.
Modapit released their first single, “Dancing,” in January, and followed it up recently with “Falling In Love” along with yet another music video. The idea behind the project is to present a cohesive and interesting story that asks as many questions as it answers, and so far, that goal hasn’t been missed.
With the release of the music video for “Falling In Love” last week, we caught up with the video’s director, David Guillermo Borges, to ask about the creative direction and actual process of filming the video — how it came together, the challenges they faced shooting in the desert, and what the future holds for Modapit.
In addition to Borges’ involvement, the video also features an impressive cast and crew, including choreographer and performer Tiffany “Violet” De Alba who has worked with Cirque Du Soleil, Diddy, and Usher, as well as Russel M. Corpis, Kendra Hagan, Dantriell Houston, Stephanie Brodie, and Bohdan Tkachenko.
When the Modapit team first sent you the song, what was the first concept in your mind as to how you would set the setting for the video?
The song was sent very early in the process, at the same time Dancing was sent. (And a few others.) The goal was to create a single story line but still have music videos that felt very different from each other. We immediately knew we wanted to shoot in a desert setting to create a drastic change from ‘Dancing,’ which takes place in the city. All these things together added to the first few ideas.
How many different versions of the video did you draft before you settled on the final concept?
I wouldn’t say different versions of the video, but a couple different things changed as we started producing it. One of the things was the wardrobe and make up. At first we thought about buying things we felt these characters would wear, but Gabriella, our protagonist, and producer said she’d be happy to create the costumes herself. Best decision we could have made, she hand made every single costume and chose the color red to represent love. Another thing I’d say changed was the story line and where in the video certain things happened, making the final project even more fascinating to watch than our first cut.
Clearly the being in the sky is meant to represent Modapit — who do the dancers represent? The motorcyclist?
In our story so far we know Modapit has something to do with the “spaceships”. The motorcyclist is the main character for our previous video Dancing, she’s been on a quest of finding the “real” Modapit, who she believes has answers about what happened to her sister. She has brought the mask of someone that was probably an impostor to this group of almost a religious cult in hopes of being accepted into this place floating in the sky. I believe the dancers represent our connection to artists. The motorcyclist would represent us trying to become a part of the music scene. Modapit would represent a different kind of artist, one that I believe is not after fame or fortune but more about getting people together.
What was the shooting process like out in the desert as far as working around weather and lighting?
The weather in Vegas was incredible when we landed, but a couple days before the shoot it started to get really cold and wet. We had about 15 people booked for this, a scary feeling thinking you’d have to reschedule. But somehow like the beam of light shining out of the modaship, the sky opened up that morning for a few hours allowing us to film the dance part of the video, only to get impossibly cold that afternoon. Call it luck, or a blessing but I believe this video was supposed to happen that day. I do love Vegas and can’t wait to come back in May for Moda’s first performance.
Is this story over?
The story is not over, we have yet to really meet the sister of our main character, who was teased in the What is Modapit trailer. We also want to show people what it would look like if our main character met the real Modapit and got answers about her sister.

Dubstep legends Emalkay, The Others, & Subscape unite on 8-track ‘Flashpoint’ EP

As a genre, dubstep is no longer as critically maligned as it once was in the early 2010s. You can find influences in major pop songs and there are entire festivals, stage takeovers, and stadium tours featuring the now iconic sound. Of course, the sound has changed over the past decade. The slow, methodical burning of bass and drums that began the wave in the late 2000s has been replaced with quarter notes, heavily distorted bass, and, sometimes, pretty unimaginative design.
There are still those who represent the old guard, namely, in this case, Emalkay, The Others, and Subscape. Each of them have been a part of the scene, creating waves, for the past 15 or more years. Only recently did they all come together on their first single, “Inside My Head.”
“We thought it was a collaboration long overdue so we mashed out some beats together one day and before we knew it we eventually ended up with a huge body of work with this being one of our favourite tracks. We are thrilled to finally have it out there and on the legendary Deadbeats label too! We hope you enjoy it.’ – Emalkay
Now, their complete Flashpoint EP is officially out via Deadbeats, featuring 8 tracks of legendary bass. It transports us back to the olde days, when the scene wasn’t quite as saturated, when innovation and new discoveries in design and arrangement were being made seemingly every month, and we all knew that 140 was the true BPM.
