AVANCE’s “I Saw The Screen Bleed” lands like a love letter to horror’s golden age, written in thunderous bass and razor-sharp sound design. The Australian producer’s latest full-length transforms classic horror film tension into modern dubstep architecture, with each track building its own distinct atmosphere of dread. Drawing from his deep study of film composers, AVANCE crafts a sonic palette that would make John Carpenter proud: serrated basslines slice through haunting atmospherics while calculated drops land with cinematic precision. While his contemporaries chase fleeting trends, he’s constructed something more permanent – a proper horror soundtrack for the bass music generation. Between his adrenaline-soaked live shows and this album’s meticulous production, AVANCE continues to push dubstep into darker, more theatrical territory. “I Saw The Screen Bleed” doesn’t just sample horror’s playbook – it adds new chapters to it, proving that sometimes the heaviest moments come right before the drop.

The yearly Matroda EP drop has become dance music’s most reliable dopamine hit. On “Late Night Talks,” the Croatian tech house architect doesn’t just meet expectations – he demolishes them with seven weapons-grade club tools, including three previously unheard bangers. The collection plays like a perfectly programmed club night. “Britney” (with Dances) and the Martin Ikin collab “4U” (already a Beatport #1) set the tone with festival-tested muscle. The new additions prove equally lethal: “Came To The Club” delivers understated groove, “Down” serves retro house realness, and “Naughty Sax” injects Latin brass into the tech house template. It’s fitting that a producer who cut his teeth on Led Zeppelin and Sinatra before dominating EDC Vegas and Ushuaia Ibiza would drop something this versatile. Between “When The Bass Kicks In” with its seductive vocal work and “Hangin’ On” straddling radio and rave appeal, Matroda’s proving why the “matrodasound” has everyone from Diplo to DJ Snake paying attention. “Late Night Talks” isn’t just another tech house EP – it’s a masterclass in club construction.

InteliDey is back with "Ignite (Chaos)," a sonic nightmare that crawls beneath your skin with eerie techno beats. The UK electronic music producer, who is also an award-winning tech entrepreneur, lecturer and TEDx speaker, stuns with a propulsive yet haunting banger that feels both mechanical and viscerally alive. A guttural, otherworldly voice sets the tone, slithering into focus with the line, "Reality isn't real—what you see is what you get." It's both unsettling and hypnotic, like staring into a mirror that might shatter at any moment. The track, InteliDey says, is a timely one. As the scourge of AI-generated music continues to ripple through today's artist community, he says his new single moonlights as an urgent call to "critically evaluate the content they consume." "In an age where generative AI is often used to create social media and news content, understanding what is real and what is fabricated is crucial to avoid confusion and misinformation," InteliDey explains. "'Ignite (Chaos)' serves as a call for self-awareness, encouraging individuals to question and verify content before believing it." Listen to "Ignite (Chaos)" below.

Surging bass music producer YDG has released "Echo," a grimy showcase of his production skills. Using no shortage of bass to scratch every itch in our brains, the track alternates between haunting vocals and grating saws, both of which fittingly echo through the arrangement to breathe life into its title. With a knack for producing popular remixes like that of John Summit and Sub Focus' "Go Back" and its murph's "Down Low," YDG has been on a roll releasing original music. Earlier this month, he dropped "Lose Control" a track that found him flexing his versatility in both dubstep and drum & bass. Out now under Rezz's HypnoVizion Records banner,"Echo" follows YDG's landmark performance at EDC Orlando. The second phase of his "You + Me" tour recently kicked off and will continue into 2025.

In a recent joint interview at the Amsterdam Dance Event, techno superstars Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte urged fans to stop pitting female DJs against each other. Before the pair's first-ever collaborative performance, they sat down for an intimate interview in a panel at ADE, the world's preeminent electronic music summit. Amidst lighthearted anecdotes and musings about the state of today's music industry, Lens and de Witte opened up about the pitfalls of female DJs and asked fans not to compare them. "It's so emotionally, creatively draining," Lens said before noting that male artists rarely face the same issue. "Honestly, no one is ever saying, 'AIROD is better than Farrago. It's typical for female DJs. So just stop it please." After expressing her agreement, de Witte chimed in with some words of encouragement for female DJs and producers facing the proverbial jury. "We are not against each other—we are with each other," she asserted. "We are the sisterhood. We support each other." You can watch clips from Lens' and de Witte's interview below.

Words by Ross Goldenberg and Zach Salafia Just take a few moments to think of a few dance music festivals from the top of your head. Over the past decade-plus, we’ve had the fortune of festivals like Ultra, Tomorrowland, and CRSSD Festival becoming a constant in our event calendar. And while we have zero plans of those annual trips changing anytime soon, it was time for Dancing Astronaut to broaden its festival horizons and travel to a weekend-long event that wouldn’t have necessarily come straight to mind had we been asked that original question in years past. But one thing that we did know ahead of time is that year in and year out, Seismic Dance Event has routinely curated one of the finest billings in house and techno in today’s festival landscape. When the Real Music Events-backed festival published its 7.0 edition lineup this past May, it grabbed our attention without even reading until the very bottom of the poster. A couple of months later and we turned that temptation into reality, with a plan fully locked in to head to Austin in November and secure some first-hand verification surrounding the endless number of positive comments that we’ve heard about Seismic Dance Event. And after those three days were all said and done, we can officially confirm that we were able to do just that. Last three days absolutely flew by but Seismic 2024 has to be up there with some of my favorite festival experiences in recent memory A million vids + more thoughts about DA Seismic year 1 soon but firstly just want to give a massive thank you to the @SeismicTX team pic.twitter.com/v4D63kmKjP — Dancing Astronaut (@dancingastro) November 18, 2024 To set both the literal and figurative stage for those continuing to read, Seismic Dance Event mainly finds itself occupying the surrounding grounds of Austin’s go-to locale for dance music, The Concourse Project, which includes the Tsunami stage—the festival’s outdoor mainstage—as well as a pair of more intimate stages known as The Realm and The Secret. But Seismic also has a footprint within The Concourse Project—a year-round, indoor venue on the site—where attendees can find the Volcano stage. Within just moments of stepping out of our Uber—which we would like to note was an incredibly seamless method of transportation both to and from the site—and strolling around the festival, an early takeaway we gathered was that Seismic—which self-describes itself as a “boutique festival”—had both an intimate event feel while simultaneously feeling more than spacious. Areas like food concessions, merch, and bathrooms were nothing more than a stone’s throw away and had virtually little to no lines any time we’d walk by. Unlike larger-sized festivals where travel time between stages expectedly must be accounted for, Seismic’s compact layout made it nearly painless to bounce from stage to stage, with congestion and sound bleed having not crossed our minds for an instant. And we say “nearly painless” because as many can attest to, there was often a lengthy line to enter the Volcano stage, which we would very loosely label as our one and only “complaint” of the weekend. But that’s simply the unfortunate reality of a space that can only fit 2,000 people of the 5,000 or so daily festival attendees. Especially when there were several highly anticipated sets like Wax Motif back-to-back Matroda, Max Styler, Cloonee, and more going on inside. And while we’re not entirely sure what Seismic’s direct answer to that problem would be, we’d like to counter the above sentence in saying that the Volcano stage never felt the slightest bit overcrowded at any point during the weekend. And the same can be said for any of the other stages. We all know that‘s become a serious topic of conversation in today’s day and age as well as being a key determining factor when deciding the next event or festival to attend. Even when the headliners came on at either Volcano or Tsunami, there always seemed to be plenty of space to move in any which direction. Something else that we also felt the need to point out is the neighborly community the Seismic team has cultivated. Throughout our entire stay, everyone we’d come in contact with—from Seismic attendees to Seismic’s festival staff to Seismic’s two owners, Kelly Gray and Andrew Parsons—were welcoming, friendly, and open-armed at any moment of the day. And that genuinely added another layer of enjoyment to our overarching Seismic experience. We—of course—cannot continue this without diving into the actual reason we made the trip out to Austin: the lineup. It’d be a severe understatement if the word “stacked” rolled off our tongues when describing the list of names that Seismic rounded up for its 7.0 installment. And we knew that from the moment we had laid eyes on the poster back in May. We could spend the next several hours talking about every single set that we’d taken in during those three days, but we’ll do our best to condense it all for now. Our weekend commenced on Friday at the Tsunami stage as the sun began to fall during Madison Palmer, Seismic’s own Andrew Parsons, and Layton Giordani. And as nightfall ensued, we journeyed into The Concourse Project—for the first time—for a string of tech-house sets from Westend, Deeper Purpose, and Sonny Fodera before ultimately returning back outside to close day one with the Dark Prince himself, Gesaffelstein. Immediately following the final moments of day one, we had our doubts about how day two or day three could possibly surpass our debut stint at Seismic. But we were gladly proven wrong, with day two including a pair of standout sets from melodic techno favorites like KAS:ST and Massano at Tsunami before we were led back to the Volcano stage for Riordan, Max Styler—who we ultimately crowned as Dancing Astronaut‘s weekend favorite—and finally, Waxtroda. And our day two festival evening concluded back outdoors at Tsunami once again with Carl Cox’s hybrid set. In between our Sunday to truly explore everything the festival had to offer beyond its two primary stages, we still tallied up some memorable performances from Jerro, Sammy Virji, Disclosure, and none other than Eric Prydz himself—who was accompanied by a brief rain mist—to cap off the festival portion of the weekend. Seismic’s lineup was about as well curated as it possibly gets from top to bottom, with headliners fully cashing in on the lofty expectations that we had for them and Seismic’s well-rounded undercard delivering countless standout moments from the weekend. And aside from the on-and-off again rain—which we were admittedly in favor of—that had sprinkled in throughout Prydz’s closing appearance, we have to make mention that our first trip to Seismic had certainly lucked out considering the absolutely sublime weather that served as the backdrop to the weekend. We would be remiss if we didn’t nod to what went on once the festival curfew hit each evening and the party moved indoors. Normally once a festival concludes, the journey must be made elsewhere for those looking to extend the evening. But a massive perk of Seismic’s approach was that its afterparties were hosted on site within both The Concourse Project as well as a separate room—no more than 100 yards away—called Club BLK. And we found ourselves in either of the two rooms into the early hours of each morning, switching off between locations on night one, spending night two with Riordan and Matroda, and expectedly rounding out the weekend with Jerro before receiving a two-hour masterclass of a set from Eric Prydz under his alter-ego, Cirez D. For as intimate as the Seismic feels upon first glance, its production undoubtedly holds its own amongst the best as soon as everything kicks into action. Seismic’s stage designs were top-tier across the board—with a special shoutout to PHASE[3] Concepts, who were behind the Tsunami’s stage design—and its sound quality seemed to rival any club or festival setup that we’d previously come in contact with. Factoring in everything from its stage and lighting production to its sound quality to simply the room on the dancefloor, The Concourse Project felt like it was amongst the finest indoor spaces that we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing thus far. And it even had an additional LED panel that spanned a majority of the roof—which was implemented solely for the festival weekend—which certainly elevated the Volcano stage experience. But even without that roof LED addition, The Concourse Project felt like a first-class space that we are itching to visit again during a non-Seismic part of the calendar. If we could sum up our weekend in Austin in just one sentence, it would be the following: Seismic Dance Event is the pound-for-pound best festival that we’ve ever experienced in more than a decade of attending dance music events. We’d never been to Seismic. We’d never been to Austin. And we’d never even step foot in the state of Texas. While reminiscing at the airport on Monday morning, we consistently found ourselves bringing up the idea that the weekend went about as flawlessly as it gets when it comes to all the moving parts that make up a festival trip. And with the year-long countdown now on until Seismic’s 8.0 edition in 2025, we are one-million percent in favor of giving Seismic Dance Event a permanent spot on the Dancing Astronaut event calendar going forward. Thank you so much to Seismic Dance Event, Real Music Events, The Concourse Project, and all of those involved that made the festival happen.

Celebrating a decade of The Pinkprint, Nicki Minaj has reunited with David Guetta for a new collaboration, "If It's Okay." Featuring the sultry vocals of Davido, it's a reunion that feels like it was written in the stars. Minaj, ever the chameleon, shifts effortlessly between smooth and sharp, delivering her lines with a playful confidence that feels both mischievous and empowering. Davido then enters the mix like a breath of fresh air, his voice adding an irresistible flavor that ties the track together. It's radio-ready, yet far from predictable—a perfect storm of pop and Afrobeats that proves Guetta and Minaj still know how to make magic. Guetta and Minaj have made their mark on contemporary music through the years, collaborating on a handful of dance-pop hits that remain fan-favorites. Those include "Where Them Girls At" and "Turn Me On"—both of which released back in 2011—as well as 2015's "Hey Mama" and 2017's "Light My Body Up." "If It's Okay" appears on an expanded version of The Pinkprint, Minaj's third studio album, in celebration of its 10th anniversary. The new version features a number of previously unreleased songs, including "Arctic Tundra," which stunningly features the late hip-hop superstar Juice WRLD.

When you combine Subtronics' heavy dubstep and Alison Wonderland's spellbinding soundscapes, the result is an instant classic, "No One Does It Like." Starting with an eerie melody featuring distant screams, "No One Does It Like" slowly builds tension as Wonderland's ethereal vocals guide us into a grating, bass-riddled dubstep drop. Later on, they flip the drop sequence on its head with a dark and seamless blend of both producers' styles. Out now via Cyclops Recordings, the track doesn't mark the first time Wonderland and Subtronics have collaborated, though it is their first original song. The duo recently joined forces to remix Creeds' global hit "Push Up" into a drum & bass banger, which quickly became a performance staple. The new single had already proven itself a hit after appearing in Wonderland's recent Red Rocks performance and Subtronics' doubleheader at San Francisco's famed Bill Graham Civic Center. The latter also hosted three nights of his beloved Cyclops Dome event last weekend, when the pair showcased the track live together for the first time.

On November 13th, Kruelty, the DJ and producer known for his hard-hitting and sinister approach to music, with a style that blends elements of hardstyle, hard techno, and industrial hardcore, released his very first album, Bloodbath Machinery. EDMHouseNetwork had the honor of interviewing him about the release, and here is what we found out. Anyone who truly delves into the expansive world of electronic dance music (EDM) will uncover a vibrant spectrum of genres, each offering unique and captivating sounds you might never have imagined existed. On one side, you will find something gentler and more melodic, such as progressive house or melodic techno. While on the other, you’ll encounter the raw power and intensity of hardcore and industrial techno, pushing the limits of energy and sound. If you dare to venture into the shadows of EDM, you will find Kruelty—a haunting figure born of darkness. Shrouded in mystery and devoid of identity, Kruelty conjures music that pulses with aggressive beats, dark atmospheres, and unrelenting energy. By fusing the raw intensity of hard techno, structured rhythms of hardstyle, and the abrasive textures of industrial hardcore, Kruelty creates tracks that are sonically challenging, terrifyingly intense, but at the same time, irresistibly captivating. Throughout his career, Kruelty has commanded the stages of major festivals like Defqon 1, Decibel Outdoor, Verknipt, Shockerz, PACT, and Rebellion. His dark presence and uncompromising sound have made him a force to be reckoned with, and his discography tells the story of an artist who constantly pushes the boundaries of his craft. Each release feels like a descent into shadowed realms, a testament to his talent, creativity, and the raw energy he draws from the dark realms. Now, on the 13th of November, Kruelty has unveiled his most sinister creation yet: the long-anticipated debut album, Bloodbath Machinery. In an interview, EDMHouseNetwork got the unique opportunity to talk with Kruelty, who told us about the deeply personal journey that led to the creation of his debut album. “My main goal was to showcase everything that I am capable of, everything that’s been stuck inside me,” he said, reflecting on the inspiration behind Bloodbath Machinery. Known for his ability to merge industrial hardstyle, techno, hardcore, and hardstyle, Kruelty explained how the album became a true representation of his identity. “To truly express who I am and what I stand for, an album felt like the only true form to showcase this to the world.” For him, the album is not just music; it’s an escape into a world where there are no rules or boundaries. “You can find your own inner demon in this album” , he added. Creating this unrestrained work required more than just musical talent—it demanded a complete hands-on approach. For Kruelty, the most rewarding part of the process was the absolute control he held over every detail—from the artwork to the music videos and everything in between. “Everything was crafted by me and my team’s hands. We shot it all ourselves, in my basement. The people, the blood, the chains—it was all our doing.” he revealed. This allowed Kruelty to craft more than just music; it became a visceral form of art that defies conventional boundaries. “I believe this pushed the limits of the hard dance scene. We created something more than music—something dangerous. Art, raw and unfiltered.” he declared. Among the album’s tracks, one holds a particularly special meaning for Kruelty: the title track, Bloodbath Machinery. “The energy in this track is unlike any other track I produced. Ever.” he revealed. With vocals written and recorded by Qoiet, the track embodies the raw emotion that defines the entire album. “The vocals, written and recorded by Qoiet, are twisted and perfect—he captured exactly what I wanted to express. It’s the heart of the album—pure darkness and extremely bloody.” he explained. Even with such a clear artistic vision, the album-making process brought moments of surprise. Kruelty recalled the unexpected crowd response to STUGNA-Z. “It’s one of the more twisted, out-of-control pieces at the moment. Yet, the crowd embraces it,” he said. For him, the track reflects the chaos his fans crave. “And I give it to them.” he added with a smirk in his voice. The ability to connect with his audience goes hand-in-hand with the emotional depth that inspires Kruelty’s music. In terms of inspiration, he draws it from more than just sound—it’s the emotions behind it that often spark his creativity. “A haunting, melancholic piano piece can stir something deep inside of me.” he shared, illustrating how his music stems from a desire to evoke powerful, ingrained feelings rather than adhering to specific genres or styles. This emotional depth is also balanced by a unique and sometimes humorous relationship with his fans. “During meet-and-greets, I’ve been asked to choke fans for photos.” he revealed with a grin in his voice. “I love that these things just become a thing out of nowhere. There’s a certain dark humor in this—something that cuts through the serious tone of voice. I love my fans for that. They get it.” For those stepping into his world for the first time, Kruelty’s aim is total immersion. “Trapped in a concrete jungle, where every step is uncertain and every sound is almost too heavy to understand.” he described. “My music speaks the unspeakable—the suppressed emotions, the things we can’t articulate. It’s too big to fully comprehend, not meant for you to take or keep. Just feel it.” Kruelty and his music occupy a space not everyone dares to explore—a place with raw intensity, emotion, and chaos converged into a musical experience that defies convention. His ability to merge genres like hard techno, hardstyle, and industrial hardcore isn’t about appealing to the masses but about reaching those who truly understand the art behind the darkness and aggression. Besides getting the honor of interviewing Kruelty, EDMHouseNetwork also got invited to the album release event of Bloodbath Machinery, which turned out to be one of the most unique experiences we’ve ever had. Contrary to what most people who’ve never attended this kind of event might think, this is where you’ll meet some of the kindest, happiest, most open-hearted people out there. Kruelty’s album release event was no different, and we were beyond impressed by how the incredibly loyal and excited fan base was beat-matching perfectly to every single kick, drop, and sound of the tracks that Kruelty and his guests played. A kind of vibe, energy, and sense of community that we’ve never seen before, and it was a truly beautiful sight. As he looks ahead, Kruelty’s future is as bold as his music. Alongside a collaboration with Warface, Riot Shift, and his new solo track YOU ARE MINE, he’s most excited about Kruelty Presents: THE KULT, his upcoming event at TivoliVredenburg on January 4th. “It’s the perfect stage to reveal what I’ve been keeping hidden. Dark visuals, twisted art, and live performers.” he said, with unmistakable excitement in his voice. Are you ready to descend into the shadows and embrace the darkness of Kruelty’s world? If the thought of his sinister creations and Kruelty Presents: THE KULT sends shivers down your spine, make sure to follow Kruelty on his socials that you can find below. And make sure to stay close—his journey promises to be as relentless and unforgiving as his sound. You don’t want to miss your chance to witness the chaos unfold. s

Listening to Ferry Corsten's new album, Connect, feels like stepping into a time machine. Each track from the influential DJ and producer's sixth studio album is a postcard from his career, charting his evolution from trance purist to genre-agnostic innovator. Corsten paints Connect as a career retrospective, reimagining his signature sound through brushstrokes that represent his evolution as a music producer. "While I may be best known for trance, I've explored a range of genres over the years—house, progressive, even techno. This album is a culmination of those styles, woven together across tracks in dynamic layers and moments," Corsten explained in a press release. "If you’ve followed my music, I hope you'll recognize these influences and hear the depth and variety within this sound." Ferry Corsten.c/o Armada Music Out now under Corsten's Flashover Recordings banner via Armada Music, the album comprises 15 tracks. Those include collaborations with Marsh, 22Bullets and Silva City, the collaborative alias of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot, among others. Corsten manages to transform nostalgic impulses into forward-looking music that pulses with contemporary energy throughout Connect. Look no further than "Wish," a masterclass in controlled reinvention where he crafts a dancefloor elegy through lyrics that pull you into the glow of a memory you can't quite touch—but can't let go of either. Another undeniable highlight is "Total Eclipse," where Corsten weaves a cocoon of vintage breakbeats that unfurls as a miniature universe unto itself.

Streaming platform SoundCloud has launched six AI-powered tools aimed at helping artists and fans remix, edit, and produce music without traditional software or equipment. These tools include Tuney (for remixing and producing tracks), ACE Studio (which generates vocals and lyrics), and TwoShot (for creating custom samples). Tracks created using these tools will be tagged to indicate the specific AI tool used. The company claims these tools will help “democratize music creation,” with SoundCloud CEO Eliah Seton emphasizing AI’s potential to unlock creative possibilities while maintaining ethical practices. SoundCloud has also joined the AI For Music initiative, which sets guidelines for responsible AI use in the music industry. This launch follows previous AI integrations on SoundCloud, such as Fadr, Soundful, and Voice-Swap introduced earlier this year. Additionally, SoundCloud previously rolled out AI mastering with Dolby in 2020. The move comes as other platforms, like YouTube, are experimenting with AI for remixing licensed songs. SoundCloud’s push for AI tools coincides with growing debates about AI’s impact on the music industry, including concerns over potential revenue losses for musicians by 2028 and calls for AI regulation.

It’s New Music Friday, and the wait is finally over! We are excited for this new release of the two-track EP, Overdose of Bass by the phenomenal duo Eli Brown and Adam Beyer. Fans have been buzzing with anticipation since their electrifying back-to-back performance in September at Lisbon’s Brunch Electronik. Now, as it hits the shelves on Drumcode, dive into Overdose of Bass and let us know what you think! Overdose of Bass – Two Track EP This dynamic techno two-tracker combines the signature styles and incredible talent of Adam Beyer and Eli Brown, making it a must-listen release. The title track ‘Overdose of Bass’ features a heavy, rumbling bassline that commands attention, truly living up to its name. With crisp, driving percussion pushing the beat forward, the track creates an exhilarating sense of momentum. The rattling snares and intense breakbeats lead into a processed spoken vocal, delivering a captivating half-sensual, half-robotic riff of “there it goes/overdose of bass.” Coupled with Doppler siren builds, this creates a mysterious, spacey call-and-response that will resonate on the dance floor. Perfectly crafted for peak-time moments, this track is poised to become a must-have festival anthem this fall! ‘Living in The Moment’ the standout second track of this extraordinary EP, transcends conventional techno music. It captivates listeners with its soaring, emotive melody that inspires a profound sense of uplift. The driving techno beat, paired with a pulsating Moroder-esque bass synth and an ever-intensifying riff, creates a sense of urgency that pulls you in. The hauntingly beautiful female vocal adds an ethereal touch, especially during the powerful central breakdown, making for an unforgettable listening experience. The track expertly balances darker, industrial techno elements with uplifting, almost ethereal tones. This duality makes it versatile, fitting both underground clubs and massive festival stages. The driving bassline and precise percussion ensure it retains the raw power expected from a Drumcode release. The combination of these elements results in two tracks that capture the emotional highs of living fully in the moment. They also still being a dancefloor weapon. It is a testament to Adam Beyer and Eli Brown’s ability to push boundaries while still staying true to techno’s core. Hope you enjoy the EP as much as we do. Stay tuned to EDMTunes for your favourite music updates. The post Adam Beyer x Eli Brown Release Exciting Overdose of Bass EP appeared first on EDMTunes.
