The last time we featured Rich Furniss it was for his debut release, a collaboration with Apollo XO for their single, “I’ll Be There“, that turned out to be a great success, racking in thousands of streams and earning major press support.
Now, this talented producer is back with Chris Crack for a sizzling tech house single “Let Me Work” that is absolutely addicting. You can’t help but respond to the energy provided in the track, as the electrifying production accompanies a driving vocal that fit together seamlessly. The two make the tune easy to follow and get down with, the steady flow of the lyrics and repetitious flow of the beat allowing it to sink its hypnotic hooks in quickly into those who listen.

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

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.

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.

The Man. Earlier this year, he followed it up with The Atlas Underground Fire, bringing on even more incredible collaborators like Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, Bring Me The Horizon, Phantogram, Mike Posner, Protohype, and more.
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.
The record is available for pre-order now HERE.
To kick off the album launch, Morello released three new tracks today: “Human” featuring Barns Courtney, “Hard Times” featuring Nathaniel Rateliff, Jim Jones, and Chipotle Joe and “Raising Hell” featuring Ben Harper. 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.”

Some live set flips are just too good to be kept in the vault. Such is the case with the massive flip of “Core” by RL Grime that Ray Volpe unleashed on Bass Canyon earlier this year, and to the pleasure of thousands of fans, it’s finally out.
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.

The melodic, diverse and very UK sounds of Hillsdom seemed to come more or less out of nowhere a few years ago with their big label debut on Viper’s Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2017. That’s certainly an effective way to make an entrance, and they’ve been churning out those slammers ever since. With a mature and well-developed sound pretty much from jump, Hillsdom have released loads of work on Viper, had a single on Simon Bassline’s almost impossibly tough to sign label Technique, UKF’s cheeky underground imprint Pilot. and, most recently on RAM and its sister label Program.
It seems Program has really agreed with Hillsdom, as after their first two sets of singles, “Tell Me Your Lies”/”Stone Soul” and “I Wonder”/”Igloo” released in January and July, respectively, RAM have decided to drop two of the duo’s best-received singles to date, “Fauxtopia” and “Gaslight” featuring Maddy on vocals. Released in early October, these two tracks are quite different, with “Fauxtopia” being a deep, synth-driven and introspective track with lots of dancefloor power and “Gaslight” hitting more melodic, liquid vibes. These two tracks are a testament to why Hillsdom have taken off like they did: diversity and quality.
With even more on the horizon, the Hillsdom boys have decided to commit a mix to memory of all the great stuff they’ve done so far and Your EDM has it. Beginning as it should with “Fauxtopia,” the 57-minute exclusive mix once again proves the Essex duo’s eclectic style and thumbs a nose at the idea that one can’t mix multiple styles in the same set. By the ten minute mark, they burn through deep D&B, dancefloor, melodic and ameny jungle seamlessly.

Hillsdom · HILLSDOM – YOUR EDM Another act who’s clearly thumbing their noses at being pigeonholed by subgenre, Hillsdom make technically super-clean work that is instantly recognizable as Hillsdom but run the gamut style-wise. This mix is all over the board in the best possible way and a great way to celebrate their signing to RAM.
“Fauxtopia” and “Gaslight” are out now and available on Beatport and Spotify.

To celebrate the release of COWBOY BEBOP on November 19, Netflix hosted an exclusive listening party and conversation with Japanese-American DJ/producer Steve Aoki to discuss his exclusive remix of “Tank!,” the renowned theme song by acclaimed Japanese composer Yoko Kanno. Aoki performed this one-time remix at the Los Angeles premiere of COWBOY BEBOP on November 11, which was simultaneously live-streamed on Aoki’s social media platforms.
The virtual conversation focused on Aoki’s process and his inspiration for remixing Kanno’s iconic anime soundtrack as a Japanese American. As an award-winning artist and one of the most in-demand entertainers in the world as well as a longtime fan of COWBOY BEBOP, Aoki’s remix exemplifies that music is universal, timeless, and transcends across countries while paying homage to the Japanese roots of the series.

Party Favor is evolving. With his past few singles, he’s shown a drive and passion for reinvention, most especially with his newest single, “Whenever You’re Around.”
As the follow up to his 2021 singles “Save Me” and “Losing My Mind” featuring Elohim, “Whenever You’re Around” is a low-bass sophisticated rump-shaker.
Says Party Favor, “This song first started life as a session with my friend Drew Love way back before the pandemic. It was super pop-leaning and we both loved it but never really ended up doing anything with the idea, but over the past year as I was working on all this new music, I remembered the vocal and reopened the project. I was able to totally flip and resample Drew’s voice into something completely removed from where it started, and I turned it into what I think of as this crazy hybrid mashup of genres and parts of ‘Party Favor.’ This is one of my favorite records on this new project and I love how it morphed from how it started to where it’s at now. The song has taken on a new life and the meaning of it is darker in tone about how we often times aren’t present in our relationships and focus on people and things only when they benefit us in the moment. And also it bangs. Hope you dig it!”

You know those memes that have been going around the past coupe of years where it’s a chaotic picture where the objects in it have been blurred or distorted so that your brain thinks it should recognize them but still can’t and you end up squinting at it for far too long? Vectralux is, in concept, a much more pleasant version of those diabolical pictures. With a name that, by their own admission, is “a made-up word that sounds strangely familiar” and title for their debut album that will have writers and linguists snarling into their unsatisfied Broca’s areas, it would seem that’s just what Vectralux want.
Conjuring nostalgic feelings via a boppy, synth-infused electro-rock sound, Vectralux’s debut Each Morning and the Morning Thereafter has the same effect musically as their name and album title have linguistically. With frontman Hannibal Heredia’s vocals that sound like a cross between Elvis Costello and Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum leading the somehow both retro-and-new-style charge,  there are lashings of everything from Duran Duran to Vampire Weekend in this album.
As is their mantra, apparently, all the songs on Each Morning…have a hint of something recognizable paired with something all the band’s own. All designed to be lyrical “parables that explore the question: how does one stay whole and smiling when leaving one life for another…” Heredia’s lyrics were inspired by his own personal journey but, in true Vectralux style, their content is familiar to anyone who’s been a human for a while: relatable and familiar but also personal.
The album opens with “Hey!” a sort of battle call to the strange wild of Vectralux and their indie pop tales whose sounds once again conjures Costello-and-the-Attractions vibes along with, perhaps, Ben Folds Five. Sort of a continuation of the title, “Hey” launches into the music stories and with music that’s both haunting and fun. The same unsettled-yet-can’t-help-but-be-happy vibes permeate through the new wave-inspired (are we getting Duran Duran and The Who mashup vibes here?) “Hidden Days” and “Almost Whatever Now” which somehow melds early The Rentals with Dinosaur Jr and OG pop punk. Things only get weirder with “To Be Untitled,” which opens with a guitar riff just slightly off from “Kiss Me” by Six Pence None the Richer but whose vocals are more The Polyphonic Spree. If your head’s not spinning by now, just listen to the rest.
We could go on naming all the bands each song sounds like, but that’s not the point. So many musical artists borrow and re-work music and claim it as original, but Vectralux not only own but it but proclaim there’s something new to be made and that the nostalgic-but-not-quite and one-key-short-of-recognizable feelings are valid as forms of expression. Do we not all, after all, tend to go with sounds and feeling we already love and recognize?
Vectralux is simply taking that to its logical conclusion and, really, to its most noble format. It can be unsettling, like “Vectralux” feeling real because it’s a combination or two words or Each Morning and the Morning Thereafter feeling like a familiar turn of phrase even though when you frown at it long enough, it’s basic nonsense. The English language owes Shakespeare a debt of gratitude for all the strange words and sayings he came up with, so why can’t acts like Vectralux do the same with music? Clever to devious proportions, any sort of music fan will find something they like on this album because, well, you sort of have to.
Each Morning and the Morning Thereafter is out now in digital and CD formats and can be streamed on Spotify or purchased on Bandcamp. The band will be releasing a vinyl version of the album in early 2022.

When Zeds Dead first started out, their remixes were untouchable. Whether you’re talking about “Eyes on Fire,” or “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” or “Volcano,” they were always on point. Over the years, their remixes have taken on a bit of a new identity, but the quality remains.
Out today is their new remix for Nessa Barrett’s hit “i hope ur miserable until ur dead,” transforming the upbeat, angsty pop anthem into a darker, more foreboding experience. Incorporating elements of classic garage in the drums with the sinister bass notes and the honestly unfriendly lyrics, Zeds Dead transform the original into a bit more of an authentic representation of its meaning.
Check it out below.

The brand new collaboration from Chris Lake and Grimes aka NPC — “A Drug From God” — has arrived and it’s the life of the party!
Dangerously hypnotic and devastatingly catchy, the track progresses steadily with danceable intentions as the sounds of Chris Lake and Grimes’ new AI girl group collide. NPC intends to “hone the concepts of Art Angels and Miss Anthropocene, finally manifesting the endless characters in Grimes’ head.” Members are infinite in number and can be voted in or out, except for core members such as the baby Warnymph.
Needless to say, “A Drug From God” is as captivating as intended. The intensity of the track’s persistent risers and various reiterated elements heighten our senses as a thick bassline powers forward, seemingly unfazed by the organized chaos that surrounds it. Ultimately, Grimes’ eerily processed vocals elevate the production to earworm status.
The lyrics declare:
Money, Power, Beauty, Fame
Choose your weapon to beat the game
Money is power and art is fraud
And love is just a drug from God
“A Drug From God” is out now on Astralwerks & Black Book Records.

AREA21 have released their long-awaited debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1. The album is a culmination of not only the 12 songs written, produced and performed by Martin Garrix and Maejor, who between them have worked with some of music’s biggest artists including Bono, G-Eazy, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Khalid, but also a global visual project in the form of a series of videos by award-winning animation studio Titmouse, Inc. (Dua Lipa, Run the Jewels) which took 9 months to complete, with work by 60 artists from 10 countries. This album also marks the first album release by AREA21 co-creator Garrix.
Maejor: “It was really important for us to have a full body of work because there’s so much stylistic range on the album. I feel like if we had the pressure to compress it into something smaller, it wouldn’t have worked.”
Martin Garrix: “I’ve never released this many songs before at the same time, so I’m nervous about it. But that nervousness gets overshadowed by excitement, adrenaline and passion. This project means so much to us both musically and conceptually. I’ve had some of the best moments of my life working on these songs and we can’t wait to finally share them with the world.”
Over the past 9 months, AREA21 have released a series of songs and videos detailing the interstellar adventures of Garrix and Maejor’s alien alter egos, M & M, with a narrative that tackled some of life’s biggest questions and transformed them into music that’s thought-provoking and relatable.
In fact, it was M & M who inspired the previously odd album title. Notes Maejor, “When the aliens first came to Earth, all of their favorite albums had the title ‘Greatest Hits.’ They didn’t know you were supposed to have many albums out before you made a greatest hits album.”
Greatest Hits Vol. 1 includes previous releases such as “La La La,” “Lovin’ Every Minute,” “Own The Night” and “Followers,” but also sends 6 brand new tracks into the stratosphere including the lead single and latest in the series of animated videos ‘Time Machine.’

Avril Lavigne is back with a new single “Bite Me,” which rocks her signature pop/punk edge and then some.
Fully loaded with Avril’s iconic-as-ever vocal prowess, a rather on-brand “Bite Me” attitude, and a heavy dose of nostalgia — it’s no wonder the song is a bop. If we didn’t know any better, the production could even pass an early Avril Lavigne cut straight from the 2000s.
Marshmello, Travis Barker, Goldfinger frontman John Feldmann, Omer Fedi and MOD SUN are all in the mix with writing and production credits. Clearly, they knew the assignment.
“I’m so fucking excited to be releasing new music,” Avril shares of the track. “I had so much fun making this record. This is just a taste of what’s to come.”
“Bite Me” marks the lead single off Avril’s highly anticipated seventh studio album, due out in 2022.
Listen here and get excited for more coming soon!
