Listen to a magnificent track we recently came across. New music everyone, who’s in?! Halfway through the week, we’re glad to bring you a fresh piece to help you get through what’s left of your Wednesday, and the coming days. This time, we welcome a returning talent with a terrific premise, and quite the news to deliver. Meet Joseph Julien. Joseph Julien Hailing from Canada, Joseph Julien turned to Electronic music over a decade ago, as part of the duo Danzfolk. He’s been supported by acts such as Gareth Emery, Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, and many more. With the launch of his imprint, KRE-81 RECORDS, Julien founded a safe place to release music with his own artworks, media, and more, all independently. The label recently surpassed the 100,000 stream mark, quite the deal. And one of the most recent tracks released via KRE-81 is one of his very own productions, ‘ORIGINS’, a lovely Melodic Techno / Breakbeat hybrid which features the vocals of talented Montreal singer, DIA. DIA. Are you a producer and you want your song featured on EDMTunes? Follow this link right here. ‘ORIGINS’ The track, out now everywhere, marks a very special point in Joseph Julien’s career: it is the first single lifted from his upcoming album, WHAT WE HAD, coming to stores later this year. The song paints a picture of someone navigating through a challenging emotional landscape, as they are haunted by past memories, feeling isolated and disoriented in the present, and grappling with the inevitability of aging. The temporary solace found in fleeting connections (“dancing with a stranger”) only serves to underscore their deep-seated loneliness and longing for something more substantial and enduring. “This song took us close to two years to finish. There was a point in time where we both heard it and knew it was the one. KRE-81 Records’ motto is all about that, not to over think and just create one.” -Joseph Julien.

Four Tet has returned to the studio with Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Fred again.. and more for new music on the horizon. The prolific electronic music producer this week shared demos of five unreleased tracks just a matter of months after dropping Three, his 12th studio album. While each preview is brief, fans can still get an idea of what to expect from Four Tet, who is revered for his ability to oscillate between genres with ease. The first of the five has the working title "Eye" and features a hyperactive beat that gives way to wobbly bass toward the clip's end. The second track will satisfy fans of Tet's 2020 release Sixteen Oceans, considering it's a brand-new collaboration with Ellie Goulding in a similar vein to their track "Baby" from that album. The third demo sees him assume his KH alias (the initials of his full name, Kieran Hebden), for an uplifting, vocal-driven offering with the working title "Still Falling." Fans holding their breath for a reunion with Hebden's Coachella 2023 collaborators, Fred again.. and Skrillex, will be excited to check out the fourth demo, titled "Human Voice PHM version." The fifth and final demo is the most mysterious, as Four Tet shared a screenshot of the title so zoomed out that it's impossible to decipher amidst the track's eerie keys and creeping wind instruments. Four Tet has not announced the release date of any of the demos at the time of this writing. Take a listen below.

Skrillex has transcended from a humble headliner to having an entire stage named in his honor at Lollapalooza. While the schedule and lineup for next month's festival in Chicago were known for some time now, fans were left wondering when Skrillex would take the stage. The Saturday schedule for Lollapalooza's iconic Perry's Stage was left blank with "?" in its place from open to close. Rumors quickly spread across social media that Skrillex was somehow involved, considering the lineup poster had him uniquely positioned compared to the other headliners and he was nowhere to be found on the schedule. Now, organizers have shared that Perry's Stage will transform into "Sonny's Stage" for a special curated takeover by the dubstep icon. 🔥 @SKRILLEX & FRIENDS 🔥 Where Perry's becomes Sonny's Stage all Saturday of Lolla! pic.twitter.com/gNOCpSS3Bq — Lollapalooza (@lollapalooza) July 16, 2024 Skrillex will headline the night after performances by Ahadadream, Manara, 2hollis, Dylan Brady, Kenny Beats, Nia Archives and his Coachella 2023 collaborator, Four Tet.

'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' was transmitted 254 million kilometres at light speed to reach Venus Continue reading...

In a landmark event for both music and science, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has successfully transmitted Missy Elliott’s groundbreaking 1997 single ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ into the Milky Way galaxy. Aimed at Venus, a celestial body long admired by the artist according to official statements, the song embarked on its interstellar voyage on July 12th via NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN). Traveling at the speed of light, it reached its destination – a staggering 254 million kilometers distant – in just 14 minutes. “I still can’t believe I’m going out of this world with NASA through the Deep Space Network when ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ becomes the first ever hip-hop song to transmit to space!” Elliott said in a press statement. “I chose Venus because it symbolizes strength, beauty and empowerment, and I am so humbled to have the opportunity to share my art and my message with the universe!” This historic transmission transcends mere entertainment. As stated by NASA communications director Brittany Brown, it signifies a unique convergence of artistic expression and scientific exploration, two disciplines renowned for pushing boundaries. Brown further emphasized Elliott’s longstanding affinity for space, citing the prevalence of space-age themes and futuristic visuals within her music videos. This marks only the second instance of NASA transmitting a song into deep space. In 2008, The Beatles’ ‘Across the Universe’ embarked on a similar journey, aimed at Polaris, the North Star. Now time will tell on when an edm song will be beamed across space. The post NASA Broadcasts First Hip-Hop Song to Space appeared first on EDMTunes.

It was so loud that my LUFS loudness meter went into the plus, which I didn’t think was possible! I found him on Insta and messaged ‘you broke my loudness meter, innit’. I then struck up a friendship which led to this one.” Deekline and Jah Cuzzi – Three Little Birds This one is very close to the original vibe, but DNB. Approved by the Bob Marley Foundation.

Attention, Pastafarians! Your culinary maestro of bass, Spag Heddy, is back to serve up a fresh helping of sonic spaghetti. After letting his debut album “The Noodle Effect” simmer in the musical pot for a year, the head chef of heavy beats has whipped up a new five-course audio feast titled “The Big Boil” EP. This latest offering sees Spag returning to his roots, cooking up a storm of bass that’s sure to satisfy longtime devotees of his al dente audio.

So grab your colanders and prepare your eardrums for a feast. “The Big Boil” EP is now being served on all major streaming platforms. May your bass be strong and your noodles be ever al dente. “It’s been a year since I released my debut album, so it is high time for a new body of work. With ‘The Noodle Effect,’ I showcased more of myself and brought a variety of styles to the table that I had not shown before. In the void that came after the release of it, I’ve taken time off to reflect on my music path and gone back to find inspiration in places where I would look in the early days of my career. Eptic, Skrillex, Knife Party, are some of the main musical influences for the spirit of ‘The Big Boil’ EP, as well as very old (unfinished) songs of myself. This EP feels like Spag Heddy 2.0, continuing where I left off but with a refined recipe.” – Spag Heddy The post Spag Heddy 2.0 summons the flying spaghetti monster for 5-track ‘The Big Boil’ EP appeared first on Dancing Astronaut.

In an exciting cross-pollination of Australian talent, rising electronic producer CYRIL has teamed up with chart-topping singer-songwriter Dean Lewis for their new single “Fall At Your Feet.” This collaboration brings together two distinct yet complementary musical voices, blending CYRIL’s dreamy production with Lewis’s emotive lyricism. CYRIL burst onto the global music scene in 2023 with his breakout hit “Stumblin’ In” and a remix of Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence,” which have collectively amassed over 400 million streams on Spotify alone. Hailing from the Australian countryside and now based in Darwin, CYRIL’s journey to success wasn’t always smooth.

After a 9-year hiatus, Dutch DJ and producer extraordinaire Wiwek makes a triumphant return to Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings with his latest track, “Remedy.” As the architect of the groundbreaking “jungle terror” genre, Wiwek’s comeback is nothing short of terrifying. Jungle terror, a genre pioneered by Wiwek, is a high-energy fusion of electronic dance music that draws inspiration from tribal rhythms, primal sounds, and intense, driving beats. This unique style emerged in the early 2010s as a response to the increasingly polished and commercialized EDM scene. Jungle terror is characterized by its raw, untamed energy, often incorporating animalistic samples, tribal percussion, and unconventional sound design to create a wild, unpredictable sonic landscape. “Remedy” exemplifies the evolution of jungle terror, showcasing Wiwek’s growth as an artist while staying true to the roots of the genre he created. The track opens with a minimal, pulsating bassline accented by distinctive whistles – a nod to the primal calls often found in jungle terror productions. As the song progresses, Wiwek masterfully layers in adrenaline-pumping rhythms, building to a crescendo that flirts with hardstyle influences. This fusion creates a sinister, high-octane experience that’s poised to ignite dancefloors throughout the summer and beyond. The release of “Remedy” on Revealed Recordings feels like a full-circle moment for Wiwek. His last appearance on the label was in 2015 with “Chameleon,” a collaboration with Hardwell himself.

In an exciting collaboration, Tiësto teams up with fellow Dutch producers Lucas & Steve and vocalist Silent Child to create “Zenless,” the official theme song for HoYoverse’s new game “Zenless Zone Zero.” This isn’t just a song for a video game — this is a Tiësto track. And the output reflects over two decades of production acumen and main stage dominance. “Zenless” blends the Dutch legend’s signature energetic style with Lucas & Steve’s innovative production, delivering a brooding techno-inspired track that captures the game’s futuristic atmosphere. The song incorporates audio elements from the game world, immersing listeners in the neon-lit cityscape of New Eridu, humanity’s last stronghold against supernatural threats known as “Hollows.” “Zenless” aims to transport fans into the heart of the game’s story, where danger and adventure await around every corner. But not before this track makes it to main stages in Tiesto’s sets around the world throughout the summer.

Dutch electronic powerhouse Showtek has unleashed “360 Blue,” a monumental return to their hardstyle origins after a 12-year detour through mainstream EDM. This full-length album, part of their ambitious “360” project, is a sonic time capsule that both honors and evolves the genre that first launched the brothers into the electronic music stratosphere. “360 Blue” reads like a who’s who of hardstyle, featuring collaborations with scene titans Zany, DJ Isaac, Sub Zero Project, and Wildstylez.

After taking a 12-year break from the genre, we have reignited it with new gained experience, a fresh approach, more mature but still Showtek. Melodic, anthemic, and with a message.” Standout tracks like “Dear Hardstyle” featuring Earl St. Clair showcase this evolution, blending emotive spoken word with relentless beats. The album closer “Heaven or Hell” serves as a fitting finale, distilling the essence of modern hardstyle into an intense, memorable journey. “360 Blue” is the second chapter in Showtek’s three-part “360” saga, following last year’s house and big room-focused “360 Yellow.” This ambitious project aims to demonstrate the duo’s genre-spanning versatility, with each album embodying a different primary color and musical style. As Showtek gears up to celebrate this release with shows in Australia, Los Angeles, and a much-anticipated appearance at Defqon.1, “360 Blue” stands as a testament to their enduring impact on hardstyle. It’s a thrilling reminder of where they came from and a bold statement about where hardstyle can go in the hands of true innovators.
