  1. The Italian-Swedish progressive and electro house superstar that is Sebastian Ingrosso has returned with another must-hear track, ‘Flood’. This track has a very mysterious, dark vibe that also at the time, has addictive rhythms that easily bring the listeners into feeling the track’s grooves. Sebastian Ingrosso shows in ‘Flood’ that he is equally masterful as a solo artist, just as much as he does performing alongside Axwell and Steve Angello in the legendary trio, Swedish House Mafia. This track unleashes blissful arpeggios that perfectly connect with beautiful vocals and string melodies that melodically flow through the air. Feeling the aura that this track provides can make the listener embrace the environment that combines light and darkness into one wonderful universe where one can become a main character in their own right.

German electronic music legend ATB made a significant announcement earlier in the year: his upcoming studio album will be his last. With an incredible career that includes a total of 10 studio albums and over 55 gold and platinum awards in numerous countries, ATB has always gone the extra yard with his studio albums, routinely releasing double album projects that feature a disc aimed for the dancefloor and a separate disc curated for the comedown, crafted with beautiful soundscapes. However, this does not mark the end of his career. ATB will continue to create new music and perform live shows worldwide.

In the past, he released 10 studio albums and numerous hit singles, including ‘9pm (Till I Come)’,” ‘Don’t Stop’, ‘Ecstasy’, ‘Let U Go’, ‘What About Us’, and ‘When It Ends It Starts Again’.

  7. Rezz seems to have the bass music community in a continuous chokehold, and with help from the enigmatic X1-Y2, she's tightened her grip by dropping a new EP. Out now via Rezz's own HypnoVizion label, NOVUS features four gritty tracks, all connected by an eerie futurism that feels like walking through the ruins of an extraterrestrial civilization. "PROXIMATE" kicks it off with a decisive deluge of pounding beats and digitized melodies, solidifying itself as a standout. The ensuing tracks "ETERNAL," "ZERO" and "SUBSEQUENT" then match and escalate the intensity with blustering electric guitar solos and grating midtempo drops that act as staticky mission directives. And Rezz meant for it to be that way. "I wanted to channel a futuristic/industrial/sinister vibe with this project and reconnect with the part of myself which was creating instrumental heavy, cutting edge records," Rezz said in a statement. "Working with X1 was a seamless experience and we managed to complete this EP from start to finish in a very quick and efficient way. To say I’m proud of this EP is an understatement.” NOVUS moonlights as a gravitational pull towards the new dimension of Rezz's upcoming "PORTAL" show. The EP's artwork reflects her otherworldly intentions. You can listen to the new EP below and find it on streaming platforms here.

  8. Here’s to a glimpse of quite the complex storytelling to come with her LP. Rising Bass music star VEIL is running the final stretch of the wait to the release of her debut album, HIGH VOLTAGE, on November 22nd. With just over a month to spare, she has decided to lift ‘RESPAWN‘, one of its constituent parts, for the world to hear. Let me tell you, it’s a great first taste. HIGH VOLTAGE is a groundbreaking project which aims to present art beyond any boxy definitions of what Bass music is. The album tells the story of AZAL, a character navigating a mysterious cross-dimensional zone known as THE HOLLOW. Through VEIL’s artistry, AZAL’s journey is brought to life, exploring themes of strength, transformation, and bending realities. ‘RESPAWN’ The first track to be lifted from the LP, ‘RESPAWN‘ introduces listeners to AZAL’s entrance into THE HOLLOW, a unsettling liminal space where time unravels. The track features rumbling basslines and unrelenting energy, setting the tone for the album. And with the story it tells, the couldn’t have been a better candidate for an early release. The track plays with tons of eerie, off textures and crazy patterns, and it uses panning as a key resource to describe the indescribable. This odd voyage of the protagonist can truly be felt across the waves, with sound design that is so cleverly thought out that it reminds me of radio drama series, a genre of storytelling in which you have to make up for the lack of visuals to imprint feelings on the listeners. Listen to VEIL‘s new single ‘RESPAWN’, by hitting the ‘Play‘ button on the Spotify player below. Also, click here to support the release on your platform of choice.

  12. Dutch DJ and producer Mau P has been making waves in the global house music scene with unique production style and infectious beats. His journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable, as he catapulted to the top of the Beatport, Shazam, and Spotify charts with solo releases like ‘On Again’ and ‘BEATS FOR THE UNDERGROUND’. Mau P’s heavy production style has garnered him a dedicated fan base from all corners of the world, and his talent has caught the attention of major names in the industry, leading to official remixes for the likes of Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, and Armand Van Helden. Now, Mau P is set to make his debut on Defected with his latest track ‘Merther’. The track has been a long time in the making, with Mau P testing it out on the road before finally releasing it to the world. Featuring a legendary sample from Ini Kamoze’s ‘World A Music’, ‘Merther’ is a testament to Mau P’s growth as an artist and his ability to push the boundaries of house music. With support from heavyweights like Solomun and Michael Bibi, ‘Merther’ is poised to take the dance music scene by storm. My fans have also been asking for this one nonstop so I’m really happy they don’t have to keep listening to ripped versions online and can finally get the full finished version. ‘Merther’ has also been a staple in Solomun’s sets lately and got supported by Michael Bibi also, which is amazing to see because those are two artists I admire very much. ‘Merther’ will be out in the world soon, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you.” – Mau P About Mau P It is not often that an artist of Mau P’s caliber joins the ranks in electronic music. In what can only be described as one of the break-out stories of the decade, ‘Drugs From Amsterdam’ originator Mau P has indisputably left his mark on the dance music scene since his debut single was released. Born Maurits Westveen into a family brimming with musical genius, the artist within was destined to come out at some point. Starting a career as DJ and producer Maurice West, he quickly made his way onto world’s premier stages and into the hearts of many. Despite everything seemingly running smoothly, the Maurice West project had run its course and a seismic shift was in the works. Fast forward to today and Mau P is reaping the rewards of a leap of faith, the wager on his artistry paying off in a spectacular manner. His debut single rocketed from the underground to become a huge global hit with close to two hundred million streams across platforms. Drugs From Amsterdam cracked the charts, topped Beatport’s prestigious Top 10 for over a month and turned out to be the beginning of a meteoric upwards trajectory. Mau P released the follow up, ‘Gimme That Bounce’, in January 2023, right as he was embarking on his first North America tour. A tour that sold out shows from coast to coast. The summer that followed, Mau P was firing on all cylinders, releasing official remixes for the Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Armand van Helden as well as his original collaboration with Kevin de Vries, ‘Metroon Afterlife’. The latter of which became the most played track of Tomorrowland 2023, only to be followed in second place by Drugs From Amsterdam. In 2023 Mau P also released Your Mind Is Dirty and Dress Code, which both turned out hugely successful in their own right. Over the course of his first full year in business, Mau P graced acclaimed stages across the globe, from EDC Las Vegas to Tomorrowland and from Hï Ibiza to Amsterdam Dance Event, winning over fans one beat at a time. It was this foundation of high profile performances and successful releases that set up Mau P for a truly spectacular start to 2024. Mau P started 2024 with a triple threat, announcing the release of his most sought-after ID yet, BEATS FOR THE UNDERGROUND, his new SiriusXM radio show XXX Radio – pronounced triple x, and being added to Wynn Las Vegas’ roster of resident DJs. Not long after, days before his two sold out Miami Music Week events, Mau P was confirmed for a headlining back to back slot with Diplo on Coachella’s brand new Quasar stage. The latter three all individual feats an artist might work towards over the span of an entire career. 2024 also saw the official introduction of Mau P’s own multidisciplinary concept, Baddest Behaviour with an event in New York’s Knockdown Centre. Its debut sold out easily, leading to follow ups at Floyd during Miami Music Week, Mission Ballroom in Denver and most notably a massive 7.500 capacity show at the esteemed new Under the K Bridge venue in Brooklyn scheduled for September. It is indeed not often that an artist of Mau P’s caliber comes along, as demonstrated by a jaw-dropping list of accolades achieved in just 18 months. Looking back to August 2022, it’s safe to say that Mau P has broken the mold. As he continues to carve out his section of the dance music industry, Mau P will remain the name to watch for some time to come.

  13. Mari Meye takes us on a sonic trip through the dark corridors of emotional escape in her new single, "Trippin' On You." With storytelling at the core of her music, the rising electronic music producer and multi-instrumentalist has over 10 years of experience behind the scenes. Meye, who was born in Brazil, was a key player in the growth of Vintage Culture's global success before launching her own solo career, according to a press release. Featuring haunting vocals from Naomi Wild, "Trippin' On You" pulses like a midnight heart attack, blending a hypnotic house beat with lyrics that cut deep into emotional fragility. Each passing second feels like a step deeper into a quicksand of self-delusion, while fleeting moments of emotional clarity shine through like harsh neon signs in the night. On the production side, the track's synths writhe and twist to mirror the cyclical nature of those toxic relationships. Meye doesn't pull punches, producing thrashing drums that lay bare the raw nerves of codependency and paint an honest portrait of its wrenching pitfalls. Watch the official music video for "Trippin' On You" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

  15. *Featured Cover Photo Credit: Worlds Away Festival / LIZ (@CAPTURESBY.LIZ) The Worlds Away Festival, which occurred on Oct. 12, 2024 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, CA, was a memorable experience since it was the first dance/electronic music festival that took place in Monterey, which is located on this state’s Central Coast. The sponsors of Worlds Away Festival are a very innovative lifestyle platform and experience curator called Pendulum and an up-and-coming vodka brand called NEFT Vodka. What makes this festival also unforgettable is that it includes interactive augmented reality (AR) activations that support festival attendees with participating in an environment that has tons of technological wonders that are compatible for all ages. Here is the review of Worlds Away Festival at Monterey County Fairgrounds, an event that blends art, music, and technology in one magnificent world, or even galaxy, of illumination that celebrates the spirit of the Monterey Pop Festival that occurred in 1967. Photo Credit: LIZ (@CAPTURESBY.LIZ) Worlds Away provided entertainment that contained interactive technology that allow fans to fully immerse themselves in the festival The festival organizers teamed up with AR platform Augmento as the festival’s key Title Tech Sponsor, “Van Gogh Experience” creator Normal Studio, Web3 & NFC Chip experts Endstate, and design firm Vita Motus to create groundbreaking and interactive technology based activations. In fact, the festival’s tech partners put forth these activations as ingenious installations that may become very common in various music festivals globally as event organizing technology becomes more advanced as time progresses. These activations definitely were a success in getting the attendees (or “TRAVELERS” since they are attending the Worlds Away Festival) to enjoy immersing themselves alongside their fellow friends, family members, and like-minded dance/electronic music fans. The activations were a digital graffiti wall, 3-D maps (especially the interactive AR map that attendees could view after they download the official Augmento app), virtual merchandise and food vender Portals that satisfied the attendees who want to have the full experience, especially a part of the experience that they can’t wait to bring back for their fans and family to enjoy as well. One very exciting activity that the “TRAVELERS” got to partake in was an AR scavenger hunt, in which they would discover fascinating items that are hidden throughout the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Photo Credit: Atticus Radley Various fun activities and booths that attendees got to enjoy There were also vendors that provided great memorabilia and other awesome forms of art, especially the glitter art booth. One particular moment stood out while passing by the glitter art booth was when a beautiful attendee sat patiently as the glitter artist put on some glitter around her eyes, making her stand out like a one-of-a-kind, adventurous free spirit who is enjoying the time of her life at the festival. Also, another notable sight at the Fairgrounds was the local famous attraction, the Ferris Wheel that lit up the atmosphere, making it feel like one is at Electric Daisy Festival. Headlining artists brought out unforgettable memories in Monterey The artists at the first-ever Worlds Away Festival were Ayokay, Lost Kings, Sam Feldt, R3HAB, Tiësto, Lauv, and The Chainsmokers. All of the artists there at Worlds Away put on their unique and phenomenal sets that for sure brought out those wonderful breezy vibes to an already-electric atmosphere. Tiësto, for example, played classic hits such as ‘Adagio For Strings’ and ‘Traffic’ and also recent top bangers such as ‘The Business’ and ’10:35′, and his set proved that anywhere the Dutch dance/electronic music legend goes, he will always throw down a world-class performance. As for the final headliner, The Chainsmokers, the duo provided the feels with their dreamy and upbeat tracks that remain popular for their beloved fans over the past decade such as ‘#SELFIE’, ‘Closer’, ‘Something Just Like This’, and ‘Don’t Let Me Down’. Photo Credit: Daniel Macadangdang Ro Sahib, Worlds Away Founder and Executive Producer, talks about why Monterey is the perfect place for the festival “There’s a few reasons why this place was perfect and is part of the narrative of Worlds Away. We needed to find a place in California, but California is saturated with music festivals; where we live in Los Angeles, down to San Diego, and then you come up here in San Francisco, it’s saturated. We saw an opportunity in Monterey, we found a venue in Monterey, and as we did the research on the venue, we discovered the significance of this place. And what we’re trying to do, Monterey complements the narrative of Worlds Away, it just does. We wanted to reinvent the music festival, we wanted to create an experience. This venue is where the Monterey International Pop happened in 1967 with Jimi Hendrix, Mamas and Papas, a ton more, for three days.” Festival Director Nelson Diaz discusses how the festival inspires attendees with the beautiful combination of tech, music, and art “I think one of the key components is expanding the horizons on how tech influences music and art and how we can create this experience for people to enjoy music in different ways. From immersive rooms to augmented reality scavenger hunts to connective tissue merch to, you know, everything in between. For us, it’s all about the experience and for me, it’s about the in-between. It’s not about the artists performing, it’s about the in-between times between those artists, like what will they remember from their experiences on location. Everyone’s going to remember them bouncing themselves up and down during Tiësto, but what happened before, the in-between moments. So for me, like I hope that’s what people remember so then when they come back next year they’re like, ‘oh my god, we had so much fun in the Lumina Gardens’, like that’s big for me.” Ayokay shares his thoughts about performing at the festival “I think it’s been so good. This is one of my dream places to visit. I’ve been to Big Sur one other time, so I think coming here was so great because it feels like a vacation and I get to play the show. And I don’t know, I think playing for smaller communities, those audiences always appreciate the music more. So I feel like people connected with me, they’re not spoiled by getting too much of the same genre, they were just super open and great and I loved every second of it.” Photo Credit: Daniel MacadangdangThe post Worlds Away Brought Out Breezy Vibes to An Electric Atmosphere appeared first on EDMTunes.
  16. Cindy Charles, Twitch's boundary-breaking Head of Music, has tragically passed away, a member of her team announced today. Charles succumbed to injuries sustained from a traffic accident in Amsterdam, according to a blog post shared by Kira Karlstrom, Head of Twitch Music Label Relations. Together with Karlstrom, Charles had been scheduled to moderate a panel during the Amsterdam Dance Event, the world's leading electronic music summit. "It's with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news of Cindy Charles’ passing earlier this week in a traffic accident in Amsterdam," Karlstrom writes. "Cindy was more than just Twitch’s Head of Music — she was the heart and soul of our team, and a force for good in everything she touched." Charles, a visionary agent of change in the intersection of music and technology, has redefined how artists and creators engage with audiences on Twitch. She remains revered for leading Twitch's label relations and music licensing operations, fostering an ecosystem that allows musicians to thrive on the platform. Her innovative approach has positioned her as a trailblazer, recognized for breaking barriers in a rapidly evolving music industry. Championing the global electronic music community, Charles played an instrumental role in developing Twitch's pioneering DJ category, a breakthrough that established the company as the first major service to provide a long-term home for DJs to legally livestream. Charles was also a fierce advocate for women in the music industry. The late exec co-founded the San Francisco chapter of She Is The Music as well as Women in Digital, a community of over 1,500 members with a mission "to help women define a limitless future for all by shining a light on careers in digital and technology." "I'll never forget sitting with Cindy in the JFK Delta Lounge on Sunday evening, just before we left for Amsterdam — the night before she passed," Karlstrom recalls. "We reflected on all we had accomplished — the success of the DJ program, the Charlix XCX event at Storm King — and talked about the exciting things ahead. In that moment, Cindy said something I’ll carry with me forever: 'I finally feel like all my life’s work has been worth it. I’m making a difference for artists.'" We at EDM.com express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Cindy Charles.

  19. A year after releasing his debut album, the rise of ISOxo doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. When the EDM.com Class of 2022 star dropped kidsgonemad! back in October 2023, he crystallized one of the bass music scene's most explosive breakouts in recent memory. "I'm big on individualism and growing into yourself, growing into your own skin," ISOxo told us in an exclusive interview at the time. "The whole project as a whole is just really about becoming myself, and it's a story about growth.

The Armada guys invited an incredible roster which included acts such as Ferry Corsten, SUPERSTRINGS, Miss Monique, MADDIX, and more. Between the sets, they accidentally leaked the news. Armin had Pasquale Rotella — Insomniac CEO — over to have a chat, mostly because Insomniac and ASOT sealed a partnership for the former to take over production for next year’s ASOT Rotterdam weekender festival. But in the middle of the conversation, the news timidly arose: ASOT’s next stop appears to be the US. During the airing, Armin told Pasquale “This is off the record, but my dream is to do what we do in the Netherlands but in your home country, so I think we should do that. The future is bright for A State of Trance and this is gonna be such an epic moment when we work together for the first time in February“. To what then Rotella mumbled the magic words, “What better place to leak it — you kinda just leaked it — I couldn’t be more excited about (…), in the States, there needs to be an epic, massive, perfectly produced ASOT“.
