[EDM.com] Mind-Bending Philosophy and Bass Converge in Subtronics' New EP, "Fibonacci Part 1: Oblivion"
Subtronics has once again cracked open the bass music multiverse again. The dubstep superstar is peering through the lens of mathematical wonder after last year's release of his conceptual TESSERACT album. Out now via his own Cyclops Recordings imprint, it’s a sonic spectacle that balances brute-force energy with cerebral ambition, affirming Subtronics’ reputation as one of electronic music's most relentlessly inventive minds. The eight-track project arrives on the heels of Subtronics' performance on the storied Mainstage of Miami's Ultra Music Festival, where he first teased its release to a sea of eager fans. And while it's clearly engineered for live impact, it also carries the signature conceptual depth fans have come to expect from the producer who brought us FRACTALS. Drawing inspiration from the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio—natural mathematical patterns that symbolize balance, growth and complexity—this release is a meticulous journey. As Subtronics himself puts it, the project is about "how all of reality, in its complexity and grandeur, originates from nature and the fundamental laws of the universe." That depth resonates not just in its themes, but also in its intricate sound design and fearless genre-hopping. The journey opens cinematically with "Oblivion," where a swelling orchestral intro builds tension before a voice warns, "Brace yourselves as we enter the portal into the Tesseract"—a callback to 2024's album of the same name. What follows is an earth-shattering dubstep drop loaded with interstellar textures and seismic low-end pressure that only Subtronics could deliver. From there, he refuses to let up. "Mothclaws" switches the tempo and functions as a compelling sound design showcase, opening with a pulsing beat before exploding into a flurry of dubstep growls and sci-fi-inspired glitches. The EP's lead single, "Lock In" featuring Wooli, is an instant standout. A chaotic, Mario Kart-inspired anthem, the track barrels forward with genre-defying madness, combining dubstep, riddim and techno influences into a relentless auditory blitz. Equal parts whimsical and destructive, it marks a standout entry in the artists' collaborative catalog that includes fan-favorites "Melt Ur Brain" and "Hallelujah." Closing out the album's first installment is "Final Breath" with A Little Sound, a haunting, vocal-driven cut that culminates cathartically in drum & bass territory. It wraps the EP on a cinematic note, adding even more depth to an already multidimensional creation. With an insatiable appetite for risk-taking that yields incredibly unique productions. Subtronics once again proves why he’s a singular force in electronic music. As we await Part 2, one thing is clear: this is only the beginning of a brilliantly complex equation.

[EDMTunes] Two Friends Give Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ a Dancefloor Touch Up
Two Friends have taken on a monumental task: remixing Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline,’ a song that’s as much a cultural touchstone as it is a musical staple. From the first beat, it’s clear this isn’t a simple rehash. The duo injects a vibrant, house-driven pulse that immediately transforms the track into something primed for the dancefloor. The driving rhythm, characterized by a steady four-on-the-floor kick and shimmering synth textures, provides a solid foundation without overpowering Diamond’s iconic vocals. What’s truly impressive is how seamlessly the remix integrates the original elements. Diamond’s voice, instantly recognizable and universally beloved, retains its power and emotional resonance. Two Friends allows the raw emotion of the performance to shine. The result is a perfect balance: the familiarity of the original, enhanced by a fresh, contemporary sonic palette.

[EDM.com] Emotional Depth Meets Melodic Precision in Kaskade and Lipless' "State Of Mind": Listen
Kaskade and Lipless have reunited for a stunning progressive house track, "State Of Mind," out now via Colorize. The producers' creative history traces back over a decade to an unlikely origin story: a teenage Lipless cold-messaging Kaskade on MySpace with demo submissions. The Chicago-born dance music icon replied, and a working relationship quietly took shape. By 2014, Kaskade helped Lipless relocate to Los Angeles, where the two went on to release a Grammy-nominated remix of RY X’s "Only" followed by a string of high-profile collaborations, including several contributions to the producer's Kx5 project alongside deadmau5. Now, nearly 10 years after their first major release together, "State Of Mind" serves as a reflection of their shared growth, both artistically and personally. Poppy Baskcomb's vocals lead "State of Mind" into a gentle swell as soft arpeggios flutter through the mix, anchored by shimmering synths. The production from Kaskade and Lipless beautifullu unfolds like a story rather than a formula, lingering and letting the emotion breathe. Rooted in personal growth, it's the kind of track that's suitable for a late-night drive or the warm light of a sunrise set. For Lipless, it arrived at a crucial juncture. "I was coming out of a tough year and working to get to a better place mentally and physically," he said. "When I heard the vocal demo, it felt like it was meant to find me."

It's impossible to resist getting lost in its supercharged soundscapes, pulling us headfirst into a gritty sound that's becoming his signature. In October, borne told EDM.com that "trying to create a story and focus on the production itself is the most important part" of making impactful music. That rings true in his latest release, a cathartic burst of dubstep energy. "I made 'Shake It Off' while trying to incorporate the classic dubstep sound with my drum work and groove," borne tells us. "It started as a track highly focused on vocals. However, when the bass came in, it became the new main sound that grabbed the listener's attention."

[EDM.com] Two Friends Turn "Sweet Caroline" From Ballpark Belter to Festival Fire-Starter: Listen
It’s not every day that a barroom anthem makes its way to the mainstage, but Two Friends have never played by the rules of genre or generation. The latest release from the duo finds them flipping Neil Diamond's tried-and-true stadium anthem "Sweet Caroline" into a festival-ready thriller. The official remix transforms Diamond's singalong staple for today's dancefloors, breathing new life into his cherished 1969 classic. It marks a new creative summit for Two Friends, whose meteoric rise from SoundCloud bootleggers to mainstage fixtures has been powered by their instinct for nostalgia and reinvention. Long revered for their ability to infuse mainstream pop sensibilities with dancefloor heat, the "Big Bootie Mix" maestros approached their remix with reverence. The original's iconic vocals remain front and center but now glide over gated synths, buoyant basslines and a pulsating house groove. But the track’s crowning moment might just be its surprise finale, where a horn-laced coda erupts in the closing moments like fireworks at the end of a championship game, driving home its crossover ambitions. "An official dance remix of 'Sweet Caroline' has been a long-standing idea," said Katie Diamond, Neil Diamond’s manager. "The new Two Friends version both honors the song’s legacy while infusing it with an electrifying new energy." Listen to Two Friends' new remix of "Sweet Caroline" on streaming services here.

[EDM.com] PLS&TY and Richard Walters Reach for the Stars in Dreamlike House Track, "Constellations"
PLS&TY has taken a reflective turn with his latest single, "Constellations," a dreamy collaboration with UK singer-songwriter Richard Walters. The track marks a notable moment in the producer's journey, showcasing a deeper, more atmospheric side to his sound. From the outset, "Constellations" eases us into a world of ambient textures and gently unfolding melodies as Walters' evocative vocals glide over a bed of soft, cinematic pads. As it progresses, the tempo gradually picks up, infusing its arrangement with an uplifting energy while preserving its spellbinding atmosphere. Balancing introspective storytelling with accessible electronic production, the track feels spacious and intentional, creating a sense of wonder and optimism.

[EDM.com] Wakyin and Vibarco's "Matador" Conquers the Dancefloor With Bullfighter Grace and Latin Fire
The question of whether or not electronic music can sustain cultural identity finds its answer in "Matador," a sultry new single from Wakyin and Vibarco. Out now via Insomniac Records, the track glides with purpose, marrying house music's metronomic heartbeat with the passionate inflections of Latin musical tradition. What really distinguishes it, however, is its refusal to dilute either influence. Wakyin, the EDM.com Class of 2025, brings his golden touch through radiant production inspired by his Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. Colombian musician Vibarco, a three-time ASCAP award-winning songwriter who has worked with Maluma, Anitta and Shakira, infuses the arrangement with subtle flourishes. Wakyin's production maintains a hypnotic minimalism while its melodic elements dance with the sensuality of a moonlit Cartagena evening. The song operates like a skilled matador—precise and calculated, but imbued with dramatic crescendos that build with the tension of a bullfighter's final moments before the kill. "I found this vocal and just knew I had to flip it," Wakyin said. "It was a bit different before with a slower tempo, but I spiced it up a little, and I love the final product. Or as the streets say, "En la Calle le dicen el matador." Listen to "Matador" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

[EDM.com] Alesso and Becky Hill Channel Trance Influences in New Dance Anthem, "Surrender"
Few tracks hit like a flashback and a future classic in one breath, but Alesso and Becky Hill's "Surrender" does both. Clocking in at 140 BPM, the track draws on the pulse of early-2000s trance while charging forward with the cinematic intensity of modern progressive house. Out now via Capitol Records, "Surrender" arrives fresh off its live debut at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, where Alesso previewed the track to a roaring mainstage crowd. It's a full-circle moment for the duo, who previously linked on Alesso's hit "Words," co-written by Hill. This time, her voice is front and center, commanding and crystalline. Alesso builds the arrangement around a foundation of ascending synths and a galloping rhythm section. It’s a production designed for scale, but it never loses its emotional core. "I’m so excited for ‘Surrender’ to be out in the world," Hill said in a press release shared with EDM.com. “It’s great to work with Alesso on the record which blends emotional lyrics with those nostalgic trance influences. It’s a sound that takes me back, but also still feels so fresh and exciting." Alesso is now readying the return of his Body Hi alias alongside Gorgon City at Coachella's Quasar stage during the festival's second weekend.

[EDM.com] HI-LO and Sarah de Warren Unite for Hypnotic Single, "Born To Love"
HI-LO and Sarah de Warren have joined forces for a new collaboration, "Born To Love," out today via the former's HILOMATIK imprint. The track made its first appearance during the label’s Miami Music Week showcase at Wynwood Marketplace, where the pair performed it live. Pairing HI-LO's signature, hard-hitting techno production with an emotive topline from de Warren, it delivers a dynamic mix of intensity and atmosphere. HI-LO's production builds gradually beneath the latter's captivating vocal performance, creating a tension that erupts at the drop without losing its melodic edge. Keeping us entranced from start to finish, its pulsing rhythm and fluid energy practically demand movement. One of dance music's most in-demand collaborators, de Warren said she'd been itching to collaborate with HI-LO, the techno alias of Dutch EDM superstar Oliver Heldens before they had "an absolute banger on our hands." "I was driving home after a show one night and thinking about how dance music has always felt so natural to me, like part of my DNA," said de Warren. "I was making electronic music in my bedroom way before I was old enough to go to a rave or a club. It’s like I was born to make this music and play it for people who feel the same way, that's why the dance community always feels like family. So, as I was driving, these lyrics just flowed off my tongue, and I voice-noted them and recorded them as soon as I got home." The release lands ahead of HI-LO’s international tour run, starting with RESISTANCE events in Buenos Aires and Lima this month. He’ll then return to Europe for festival performances at Airbeat One, A State of Trance London and Tomorrowland, among others. You can find "Born To Love" on streaming platforms here.

[EDM.com] Coco & Breezy and Kinder's New Single is a Groove-Driven Anthem for the Free-Spirited
If sisterhood had a BPM, it might just pulse to the rhythm of Kinder and Coco & Breezy's new single, "Blessed Generation." Equal parts liberation chant and club-ready elixir, this Afro-house anthem arrives as both a meeting of minds and a rare case of sisterhood squared. You can hear the fingerprints of both duos as Kinder's signature Afro-electronic fusion melts into the fluid house sensibilities of Coco & Breezy, who were recently named by EDM.com among 2024's best music producers. “Working with Coco & Breezy was a vibe, as sister duos, we instantly connected—it made the whole process feel natural and exciting,” Kinder said. With festival season looming and both acts poised for major stages, "Blessed Generation" lands as a bold, sun-drenched mission statement: dance first, ask questions later. From the outset, it locks into a kinetic groove through percussion that feels almost ancestral with its hypnotic thrum. As the bassline slinks through and demands movement, warm synths rise and fall like waves catching the light at sunset. Meanwhile, the track's affirming vocals could read as rebellion or simple, unshakable joy. That duality, a balance of euphoria and reflection, is what makes it shine. Coco & Breezy likened the record to "an anthem for all generations," designed for the purpose of bringing people together. "It's amazing and an honor, as sisters, to have worked on this track with other sisters, creating something truly special," the duo said. "With our groovy bassline, signature percussion hits, and amazing moments, the song moves both the soul and the body. The lyrics, 'We are the blessed generation, we are free to do what we want / Don’t give a damn 'bout expectation, we dance with our love on top," capture our spirit as nonconformists, walking through this world purely as ourselves. We brought that same energy into the production, making sure the music reflects the freedom, movement and authenticity we live by."

The House label welcomes back an old friend for one of her standout sonic journeys. House is in good hands, from what we can see. Toolroom welcomes ESSEL back on the label with ‘Look Back’. A certified club weapon that’s been a highlight in her recent DJ sets, with this new production she once again shows she can go from the ‘feel good’ moments to ‘lights off’ driving club bangers in the blink of an eye. Originating in Liverpool, the acclaimed began her musical journey in a secluded winter workspace, crafting rhythms that would go on to captivate the world. Within a mere five years, she’s secured a spot among the ‘Top 30 Global Producers’ on Beatport, achieved two chart-topping releases on Toolroom with ‘Lennon’ and ‘Sweat’, and has made headlines for being a strong female presence in the industry. ‘Look Back’ Groovy and full of energy, the track features a distorted female voice which leads the way into the song. The instrumental parts are strong yet melodic enough to avoid becoming stale or too monotonous. It’s a track that simply works, and I bet it works even better with a proper soundsystem at a nightclub, with the lights off and lasers on.

[EDMTunes] Amazon Becomes a Potential Buyer of TikTok
According to an article from NBC News, Amazon recently submitted a last-minute bid to acquire TikTok, as revealed by a source familiar with ongoing discussions led by the White House to find a non-Chinese buyer. The New York Times reported the bid, which came in the form of a letter to Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, just days before a Saturday deadline to prevent a potential ban of the social media app. Due to the timing, many observers are viewing the seriousness of the bid with caution, according to the source who provided the details to NBC News (and this source also requested anonymity). Were there any responses regarding the potential purchase of TikTok by Amazon? An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment, and a representative for Jeff Bezos has not yet responded to inquiries. President Donald Trump will soon review TikTok’s offers during a meeting with Vance, Lutnick, and senior administration officials. TikTok has faced uncertainty in the U.S. since last year when the Biden administration signed legislation requiring its Chinese-based owner, ByteDance, to sell to a non-Chinese entity or risk a nationwide ban. No agreement has arrived as of yet, prompting Trump to extend the deadline through an executive order on his first day in office, allowing TikTok until Saturday, April 5. ByteDance has indicated it does not plan to sell and has not confirmed discussions with prospective buyers. While the meeting on Wednesday may shed light on potential buyers, the details remain closely guarded. Trump’s willingness to extend the deadline again has been noted if more time is needed. President Trump is feeling optimistic about an upcoming deal President Trump earlier in the week told reporters about this commenting “We have a lot of potential buyers. There’s tremendous interest in TikTok. The decision is going to be my decision. TikTok is, it’s very interesting, and a lot of people want to buy it.” Interested buyers of the social media app Interest in acquiring TikTok includes the likes of Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who joined billionaire investor Frank McCourt’s bid; AI search engine startup Perplexity AI; and Steven Mnuchin, former Treasury Secretary during the first Trump administration. @cnbctelevision The post Amazon Becomes a Potential Buyer of TikTok appeared first on EDMTunes.

[EDMTunes] Ministry of Sound Reveals Break-In And Illegal Rave Was April Fools’ Stunt
Ministry of Sound has revealed that a recent alleged break-in and illegal rave at its London nightclub was a publicity stunt. On March 21—11 days ahead of April Fools’ Day—the venue issued a statement claiming the incident had caused “significant damage” and resulted in the theft of “high-value equipment.” Two days earlier, footage showing the break-in had been uploaded to social media. It has now been confirmed that the event was staged as part of a marketing campaign with Lab54, a pop-up event series dedicated to hosting parties “anywhere but a club.” Ministry of Sound and Lab54 will throw a party in the club’s toilets on May 4 as part of the collaboration. Caitlin McAllister, Managing Director of Ministry Group, had this to say: “There’s an irony in a pop-up ‘breaking in’ to a club, but that’s exactly the point—we need to bring new ideas to our spaces” Lab54 founder Joe Gordon added, “What better way [for clubs to connect with DIY party communities] than going back to their roots and pranking the online rave community!“ Call me suspicious, but I think it is a little bit odd for this to come out 11 days after the incident. You would have thought this would have been announced earlier. I guess all the “high-value equipment” wasn’t stolen after all, and it was all just made up. You know what they say, any PR is good PR.

[EDMTunes] [Event Review] FISHER Threw Down An Unforgettable Block Party In San Jose
On March 29, 2025, downtown San Jose had an unforgettable Block Party that had Australian dance music superstar, FISHER, as its headliner. FISHER threw down a Block Party that showed the music world that the Northern Californian city of San Jose is definitely a dance music hotspot. The promoters of the event were not only Insomniac themselves, but also local SF Bay Area dance music event promoters, 15Utah and DJ Dials, as well as San Jose-based event promoters, San Jose Foos. The event stretched from the intersection of S. 4th Street and E. Santa Clara Street to the intersection of S. 7th Street and E. Santa Clara Street. With the unprecedented number of attendees who attended the Block Party to witness FISHER produce a fantastic set, it is very likely that San Jose will host another similar event, especially if it is in front of City Hall again. FISHER brought out the beautiful and wild vibes at the Block Party in San Jose The event started at 2 p.m. local time, and by then, the fans started to pack the area that is in front of City Hall and surrounding businesses. Before FISHER came on stage, the fans at the Block Party danced nonstop to every rhythm that the opening acts provided, setting in motion the euphoric atmosphere that would come soon. Many fans enjoyed the various food and drink options that were there at the event, especially from the nearby businesses that are in close proximity to the event’s designated zones. Furthermore, for the fans who got to enjoy the event as VIP attendees, they got to dance the night away inside the San Jose City Hall Rotunda, the architectural masterpiece that has a remarkable glass dome and a balcony at the top level where fans can have a better view. Additionally, there was a nearby condominium complex that even had residents enjoying the vibes on a rooftop balcony. When FISHER came on, the collective crowd at the Block Party cheered delightfully and grooved away at every single beat of popular tracks such as ‘Losing It’, ‘Atmosphere‘, his sensational rework of ‘Somebody’, and his latest track, ‘Stay’. Overall, the vibes on March 29th were beautiful and wild, and to summarize the very festive mood, the event became a memorable event in the history of the city of San Jose. @weatherduder The post [Event Review] FISHER Threw Down An Unforgettable Block Party In San Jose appeared first on EDMTunes.

[EDMTunes] [INTERVIEW] Night Breeze Talks Music Origins, Persistence, Career, And More
We sat down with a great musician recently. The music industry is a very interesting place. You just don’t ever run out of good music, and it can come from virtually anywhere. That’s what happened to us when stumbling upon Night Breeze, a former Rock guitarist from Los Angeles, who’s turned to Dance music with swift success in just a handful of years. A lover of the Melodic House style, since kicking off his alias in 2023 he’s released on labels such as Where The Heart Is, Krafted, and BeLove, among others. And he’s just released his latest, ‘Wanaka Springs’, which felt like a great time to have a bit of a checkpoint chat with him. Check it out below, as we sat down with Night Breeze for an interview. Where did you grow up, and how did your environment shape your relationship with music? I moved a couple times as a kid but mostly grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. My dad didn’t play an instrument, but he always had music playing in the background, be it classic rock, jazz, or Cuban music (the music of his homeland). So music was always part of my environment in that sense. Additionally, my mom forced me to learn piano when I was a kid. There were times when I really enjoyed it, but also times when I resented having to practice every day and just wanted to play video games. When I was 14, though, I convinced my mom to let me switch to guitar instead. This is what turned music from an activity I sometimes enjoyed into an obsession, as I could actually play the songs that I spent most of my free time listening to. Once that switch was flipped, all I wanted to do was learn and play guitar, and that became the primary way I spent my free time in high school. Since my dad had a huge selection of classic rock CDs, and since classic rock is a natural place to turn when learning electric guitar, I went pretty deep down the classic rock and blues rabbit hole for a few years. What’s the first memory you have of making music? I remember writing a few songs on the piano when I was in 2nd grade. In high school I started forming bands with friends and writing a lot more songs. I also started playing around with GarageBand and made and recorded a few dozen songs probably, both solo stuff and songs with bands. (My friend and I did in fact record a few of them in an actual garage). When I was in college, I formed a more serious band with a friend, and we played a lot of gigs around campus and town. We kind of straddled the line between classic, alternative, and indie rock. There was a recording studio on campus that was free to use and equipped with Pro Tools, so right before summer break one year we recorded a handful of songs. We attempted to hire someone to mix these recordings, but that person had no idea what they were doing, so my dad instead got me a cracked version of Pro Tools from a sketchy site on the internet so I could finish the songs myself. We moved the band to Orlando that summer and spent the summer jamming, playing around town, writing, and recording songs. I became the person in charge of recording, producing, and mixing the band, and that’s when my production journey really got going. When you think back to your earliest projects, what’s something you would do differently now? I should have used sample packs and preset packs more. I used to feel like I needed to create everything from scratch to be unique, and while it’s certainly valuable to learn sound design so you can edit sounds to your liking, I think I could have progressed faster by starting with better tools and simply focusing on finishing as many songs as possible. Related to that, my productivity increased dramatically when I dedicated a chunk of time to cultivating my sound palette and building out a template with a selection of favorite sounds ready to go. Aimlessly surfing presets is the fastest way for me to smother any creative spark I’ve got going. Why do you think persistence is such an important part of making it in the music industry? Well, for one, persistence is the only way to get better. Producing, much like playing an instrument, takes a long time to get good at – you can certainly practice ‘smarter’, but there’s still no substitute for simply putting in the time and effort over an extended period of time. Part of that is because producing requires you to learn and master so many different skills, from music theory to arrangement to drum programming to mixing to sound design. Not to mention that learning to use DAWs and plugins well also takes time and effort. It takes a long time before you can start to make music that actually sounds the way you envision it. I think that’s a point that ends up discouraging a lot of people – if you get into music production, that probably means you love and listen to a lot of music, so you’re probably painfully aware of how much your early tracks don’t quite stand up to the quality of your favorite artists. That’s completely normal, though, and ultimately, you just need to fall in love with the process of creating and not be too tied to the outcome. Related to persistence, I also think an essential skill in the music production journey is developing thick skin, as you’ll frequently deal with rejection and negative feedback along the way. But if you want to improve and get better, it’s essential to try and get honest feedback as much as possible, so you have to be open to receiving difficult feedback at times. And even after you start getting releases and building relationships with labels, they won’t necessarily want to sign every track you send them. And potential collab partners may not like every idea you send them. And released tracks may not resonate with listeners as much as you’d hoped. So there is going to be some amount of rejection every step of the way, so it helps to learn how to take that gracefully and not let it get you down. We naturally get very attached to the art we make, but music is a very personal, subjective thing, and how one reacts to it might be different from day to day or even morning to night, so you have to learn not to take anything too personally. What’s the most unexpected lesson you’ve learned throughout your career? It’s very hard to predict what people are going to like. Sometimes you make something that you’re certain is going to be a banger and no one really vibes with it. Yet other times, people latch onto what you thought was a throwaway track. At the end of the day, all we can do is keep creating and not get too attached to any one idea. What’s a key piece of advice you would give to your younger self at the start of your journey? Try to collaborate / make music with more people and try to find mentors. Music production can be such a solitary activity that you can easily get lost in your own little world for long stretches of time, but bringing other people into your world helps give you perspective and can keep things moving. You can also learn and grow from anyone – even if they’re theoretically earlier on their journey, we all have different methods and ways of working, and you can pick up little ideas, techniques, and inspiration from anywhere.

[EDMTunes] [Interview] Black Tiger Sex Machine Talks ‘OMEN’ EP, OMEN Live Show, and BTSM Manga
Black Tiger Sex Machine (BTSM) have carved a unique and powerful space within the bass music scene, becoming one of the most celebrated bass acts in the world. Beyond their hard-hitting productions, they’re renowned for immersive live experiences that fuse cutting-edge visuals, dynamic lighting, and their iconic Tiger Helmets, all controlled live. Their dedicated fanbase, the BTSM Church, is a testament to how their music can inspire, motivate, and bring together a community. BTSM’s global reach is undeniable, with countless shows across continents and performances at major festivals like Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and Ultra Miami. Their ‘Futuristic Thriller’ and ‘PORTALS’ tours pushed the boundaries of live performance, integrating cinematic storytelling and state-of-the-art motion capture visuals, selling out iconic venues like Red Rocks and Brooklyn Mirage. The ‘PORTALS’ show, presented in 4K Ultra Wide, marked a new era of their live experience, as did their innovative ‘Anime Show’ and the ‘SKULL MACHINE’ b2b with Kai Wachi. Coming up this weekend, they are taking over the Tacoma Dome on April 4 and April 5th alongside Rusko, Reaper, G Jones, and Eprom just to name a few. Night 1 will feature a SKULL MACHINE performance and night 2 will be your chance to catch the OMEN show. Later this year, BTSM will be performing at EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Peru, EDC Korea, Forbidden Kingdom, and ILESONIQ. Tickets for the show and the rest of their tour can be found here. Beyond their own success, BTSM spearheads Kannibalen Records, a leading independent dance music label that has launched the careers of artists like Apashe and Kai Wachi. Kannibalen’s impact extends beyond music, with partnerships spanning Apple, Netflix, Marvel, and more. In this interview, we will delve into BTSM’s latest OMEN EP, upcoming Omen Live tour, and how it all relates to their manga. Hey guys, your latest OMEN EP just dropped and the artwork is amazing! From what we know, it is related to your upcoming manga. Can you share more about the EP and how it connects to the BTSM universe? For the past few albums we’ve really been honing in on expanding our fictional universe and all the lore. With OMEN, we’ve had the biggest addition of new characters including General Taiyō and his followers and more Connected Fighters that will aid our titular character Naomi that’s been a part of our saga since the first Movie Experience tour a few years ago. By expanding on both sides from the heroes to the villains, we’re aiming to make this post-apocalyptic world feel much bigger, complex and ultimately more real. The previous storylines were more intimate and singular, but now we have a lot more to play with that will be fully fleshed out between the new live show, the EP and the upcoming Manga. What can we expect from your upcoming OMEN live show and how will it be different from your previous tours? With our previous tours we’ve tested out a few different avenues regarding how to tie-in our fictional universe to the show. First we had the live action Movie Experiences, then we had the Anime Show. OMEN is a culmination and evolution of each of those, bringing together the stories and characters for the most comprehensive immersion into our world. The Anime show was a great proof of concept for us and helped us to see the crossover between the fans of dance music and anime. With OMEN we really just went all in for a truly original multimedia experience. Your ‘Cheatcode’ VIP dropped in March which has a techno spin on it, can you share more about the track and will we see more techno releases in the future? We’ve been playing a little bit of techno in our shows for a long time and it gives our sets a nice change of pace between the heavier bass and some of the more classic electro we also throw in. For the VIP we wanted to do something different that we could also use as a transition in our sets, so it just made sense to go the techno route. With some of our newer characters in OMEN, we also wanted to give them a sort of sonic ID and “Cheatcode” VIP fit with our mischievous connected fighter Zoe. The dance music industry is constantly evolving with different trending sounds and subgenres, what sound do you think will pop off in 2025? There’s so many incredibly talented artists in the bass world that have been doing some unique things. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where things can go, but with trap music making its way back to the forefront we think the hybrid trap direction is something we’ll see more of thanks to artists like ISOxo, Kai Wachi returning to his more trap roots in some tracks, and especially with Skrillex’s latest album. From more heavy sounds to melodic anthems, hybrid trap has a lot of potential. Social media is essential in today’s industry to connect with fans and to showcase artist identity. What kind of impact has social media had on your artist careers in the most recent years? Social media has been our biggest community builder. We do a lot to create a sense of community and openness at shows, but social media is really where you build the family. We interact daily with fans and make it a point to be involved in their lives because we wouldn’t be here without our fan’s support. From giveaways, to livestreams, to the fan groups and beyond, we try to do as much as we can to connect to our fans in the most authentic ways possible. From all the venues that you have performed at in the world, do you have any favorites? This is probably the most common answer but we’ll get it out of the way first haha. Red Rocks! Some of our other favorites include Place Bell in Montreal (our hometown), WAMU in Seattle, The Torch in LA and BK Mirage. Do you have anything else that you would like to share with your fans? We’re currently working on tons of new music, several collabs and of course we’re deep in the middle of the OMEN Manga. It’s unlike anything we’ve done before so there’s been a lot to learn and it’s been a pleasure putting this together. We can’t wait for fans to get their hands on it later this year!
