In collaboration alongside Swedish audiovisual artist and designer Love Hultén, the Way Out West Festival had just introduced a unique ‘IVF stage’. This stage is unique in which the attendees are sperm and eggs at the Eliva IVF clinic in Stockholm. The official name of this stage from the Way Out West Festival is the ‘Future Fan Stage’ and according to an article from MusicTech, the festival organizers stated, “To stay relevant, new fans are crucial.

Later, the results show that those grown with music had statistically higher fertilization rate, increased by 4.8%.

Porter Robinson is 32 years old?! It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown. I can vividly recall first discovering his album, ‘Spitfire’, though it’s actually been 13 years since its release. And who could forget how Porter’s journey began, starting with a gift from his parents—an electronic keyboard—that led to ”locking himself in his bedroom for the next 3 years”, as his father recalled in an interview. Soon after, he surprised not only his parents, but also himself with news of an invitation to DJ in Germany. The rest is history. This prodigy made his mark in EDM during the 2010s, particularly in Electro House. With his highly anticipated album, ‘Smile! :D’, set to launch later this month, Porter Robinson gave listeners a taste dropping single ‘Cheerleader’ back in March of this year. To celebrate this talented artist a very happy 32nd birthday, check out his Top 10 streamed tracks of all time below. 10. ‘Russian Roulette’ [1M streams] 9. Knock Yourself Out XD [3M] 8. Cheerleader 9M 7. Get Your Wish [32M] 6. Look at the Sky [35M] 5. Something Comforting [37M] 4. Everything Goes On [66M] 3. Goodbye To A World [85M] 2. Sad Machine [91M] 1. Shelter [216M]

Blancwater’s ‘Hear Me‘ is a gem in the melodic house scene. I was struck by its dreamy atmosphere from the first listen. The Dutch producer’s touch is evident throughout. The drums caught my attention immediately. Clean, crisp, and modern. They set a solid foundation for the track. But it’s Mondingo‘s vocals that truly elevate the piece. Angelic and nostalgic, they float effortlessly above the mix. I found myself lost in the melody. Synth lines weave a captivating sonic tapestry. It’s subtle yet engaging. Blancwater’s production skills shine here. The balance is perfect. This isn’t a peak-time banger. It’s a journey. I can imagine it working well as a warm-up or for home listening. The mood is contemplative and uplifting. It left me feeling both relaxed and quietly energized. Dennis De Laat‘s remix takes ‘Hear Me‘ in a new direction. It’s bolder. More dancefloor-oriented. The bassline is prominent and pulsing. It drove my foot to tap involuntarily. De Laat’s percussion work is impressive. More layers, more complexity. It’s clearly designed to move bodies. Yet he retains the original’s ethereal vocals. A smart choice that links both versions. I appreciated De Laat’s use of synthesizers. They’re more pronounced, creating moments of tension and release. It adds to the track’s appeal for club play. The remix strikes a balance between energetic and chill. I can see it fitting various moments in a DJ set. It’s versatile. A quality I always appreciate in dance music. Both versions showcase their producers’ talents. Blancwater’s original is a melodic house at its finest. De Laat’s remix is a skillful reinterpretation. Together, they offer two distinct experiences. I found myself returning to both. The original for moments of introspection. The remix when I needed an energy boost. ‘Hear Me’ highlights the depth of melodic house. It’s a release that resonates on multiple levels. A standout release in today’s electronic music landscape.

Beau Cruz has dropped a new single, "Wrong About You," a pulsating house anthem that weaves a tale of unexpected romance through its infectious beats and emotive vocals. The promising DJ and producer is surging through New York City's dance music ranks after a turbulent period in his life, marred by the tragic death of his mother from cancer just before the pandemic, which inspired him to quit his job in finance and pursue music full-time. The ensuing introspection of that loss is at the bedrock of "Wrong About You," wherein Cruz's production shines as he crafts a soundscape that's both melancholic and club-ready. With lyrics that explore the vulnerability of falling for someone against one's better judgment, "Wrong About You" touches on universal themes of trust, second chances and the thrill of discovering depth in a seemingly superficial connection. The vocal delivery by This Is Tess captures the raw emotion of this emotional rollercoaster, oscillating between cautious optimism and unbridled joy as Cruz's aching drops hit like revelations in their journey from skepticism to hope. Drenched in a brooding tone, her vocals contrast starkly with the song's upbeat tempo, creating a poignant tension. Cruz, who is fresh off a headlining gig at NYC's famed Marquee Nightclub, is poised to make the track a summer favorite on the city's intimate rooftops and dancefloors.

Coldplay are well known as one of the biggest bands in the world and in 2014 were on the top of their game in the lead up to the release of their sixth studio album ‘Ghost Stories’ which would feature the beautifully emotional track ‘A Sky Full of Stars’‘ that was co-produced by Avicii. But a couple months later the track would get an entirely new spin on it from the big room house legend Hardwell who would inject his high energy style into it in emphatic fashion. In the early 2010’s when electronic music was finding a lot of commercial success, Hardwell was flying high with a consistent stream of incredible tracks including the likes of ‘Dare You’, ‘Never Say Goodbye’, ‘Arcadia’ and many more. Then a crossover that no one was expecting came along when Hardwell ploughed his talents into remixing Coldplay. Despite the massive rift between their styles of music, Hardwell managed to take the calmness of ‘Sky Full of Stars’ and turn it into an epic festival banger that would get people around the world jumping. He masterfully applied his big room house style into the track without losing the emotional core of it, creating a track that will make you want to pump your fist in the air as much as it will make you want to cry. This blending of genres made for a classic Hardwell song that has received over 30 million streams on Spotify since its release and has captured the hearts of both Hardwell and Coldplay fans alike.

After spending a ton of time in the studio together, Sam Silver and ALRT have just launched their brand new project Leap 96 with the release of ‘Back It Up’ ft. Michael Aristotle. With the trajectory of these two artists reaching such massive heights, this announcement lit up the dance music world in excitement, and when listening to the single, you can really see why. Officially dropping on the LA-based TH3RD BRAIN Records, ‘Back It Up’ delivers an electrifying blend of UK garage and high-energy dance beats, perfectly complemented by the dynamic rap prowess of Michael Aristotle. Whether you’re in the club, at a festival, or cruising in your car, ‘Back It Up’ is your ultimate anthem for summer 2024. With several more singles lined up for this project, ‘Back It Up’ also marks the debut single from the forthcoming EP titled ‘Leap 9’, slated for release on October 18th! “I met Irad (ALRT) when I first moved out to LA and was writing and producing new material.”, Sam Silver explains. “One night, we were both at Gravity Studio in West Hollywood, where I had just started working. We instantly connected, and this was the first of many records we produced together over the past three months. We became obsessed with blending the chill, upbeat jazzy vibe of the Rhodes electric piano with pretty pluck sounds. We found a captivating sample to bring in right before the drop. Once the track was done, I added a vocal from an unreleased rap song I had cut back in NY with my good friend Michael. It took the song to another level. I always love putting the pieces together in the production process. My personal belief is that Michael made the record pop because his voice and the message of the lyrics really are cohesive.” ALRT shares: “I remember when we just started this track, I immediately had a good feeling about it. It’s a fun, feel-good track with a lot of attitude. It works for festivals and clubs, but you can also just rock it in the car.” “I’m honored to be a part of this song. I honestly think it’s just a fun song about being better and doing better despite whatever obstacles are in front of you.”, says Michael Artistotle. “I don’t expect everyone to get that off rip because it’s a fun song you can dance to, where you may not pay attention to the lyrics, but I’m saying some real stuff on there. That’s also why I think this song is dope all around. It’s energetic and moves any issue to the back of your mind.” Leap 96, the brainchild of Sam Silver and ALRT, draws inspiration from the vibrant late ’90s and early 2000s rave scene, where garage and drum and bass first took hold. This collaborative project merges vocal-driven dance music that fits seamlessly into both uptempo and downtempo settings, offering a nostalgic yet fresh sonic experience. The name Leap 96 holds special significance, representing the middle year between Sam and ALRT’s birthdays and marking a leap year. This period symbolizes the fusion of their unique musical journeys: ALRT, rooted in the prosperous old-school rave scene, and Sam, emerging from the new-age garage, rap, and ethereal house movements. Their music marries elements of garage, rap, and drum and bass with an indie pop sensibility. This collaboration brings a perfect contemporary edge to dance music, appealing to a wide array of listeners. Sam Silver and ALRT’s partnership began serendipitously in a Hollywood studio, co-founded by ALRT and renowned artist/producer JOYRYDE. What started as a casual co-writing session quickly evolved into an intense two-month co-production period, resulting in four powerful tracks for their upcoming EP and numerous works in progress.

Surging melodic house duo Tonic Walter have unveiled their debut EP, FEEL. Catapulting to prominence through their 2023 single "Into The Night," Tonic Walter are cementing themselves as a powerhouse within the house music scene, thanks to a mesmerizing sound all their own.

Previously released singles "SIGN” and “FEEL" kick off the project with their rhythmic synth plucks and organic percussion before the pensive "AURA" provides a respite with its otherworldly textures.

With the poignant honesty of a soul confronting its own darkness, Elohim's new album stands as a testament to resilience and the complexities of managing one's mental health. Elohim's artistic journey took an unexpected turn when her struggles with anxiety, dissociation and panic disorder resurfaced. Her reliance on medication forced her to cancel her tour and face these challenges directly, leading to a period of intense self-reflection, a theme deeply engrained in the DNA of the album, Power of Panic. "I still can't help but wonder what this would all be like in a parallel universe where I've conquered my struggles, where I'm on stage again performing for thousands," Elohim said in a candid statement with EDM.com. "That's the dream and I promise you I will never give up on that. The reality is so much more complicated, broken, and yet still beautiful. Power of Panic is yours: no stage, no lights, and that has to be enough for now." From the initial vision of triumph to an unvarnished exploration of anxiety, Elohim effortlessly channels her personal battles into the new album, her most soul-baring work to-date. In "Tiny Human," driving rhythms underscore feelings of insignificance in an ever-demanding society. Elsewhere, the vocaloid melodies and atmospheric quality of "Can't Remember Your Name" mirror the fog of memory loss while "Didn't Sign Up For This" pairs candid lyrics with frenetic production to get the heart racing.

With a name like "Remedy," Wiwek's latest track promises a cure for the mundane, injecting listeners with a powerful dose of jungle terror. In true spirit of the jungle terror movement he defined, Wiwek's latest offering is a potent concoction of heart-racing kicks and frenetic synth design. Notably, the "Killa" producer is making his triumphant return to Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings after a nine-year break in the action. Opening with whistling synths that cut through the air like a referee's call, "Remedy" quickly establishes its pulse with thumping, distorted kicks that reverberate through the body. Pitched vocals add a sense of controlled chaos, urging us to feel the bass as it revs to the surface. The song's basslines are relentless, churning up a kinetic energy that drives forward its arrangement, a consistent characteristic of the raw and animalistic energy fans have come to expect from the influential Dutch producer. Wiwek's last release on Revealed was 2015's "Chameleon" alongside Hardwell. His return with "Remedy" not only brings a nostalgic touch to the storied imprint, but also offers a fresh take on his signature style. Coming off the release of his new EP, Jungle Terror Vol. 5, Wiwek is hardly showing signs of slowing stride in the near future.

Two years after Gordo and Drake's collaborations became instant summertime staples in 2022, they're ready to showcase much more on the former's debut album, Diamante. Executive-produced by Drake, the project is a culmination of over five years of work and a reflection of GORDO's evolution as an artist. He famously retired his Carnage alias back in May 2022. "[Diamante is] the most emotional project I’ve worked on in my life," GORDO said. "It features work from artists I’ve looked up to and artists who inspire me, some I’ve known for years and others I’ve met more recently." GORDO and Drake's partnership has been instrumental in shaping the landscape where hip-hop meets dance music. Their collaborative force was first showcased on Drake's house-influenced album Honestly, Nevermind, in which Gordo contributed production to six tracks. The synergy is set to continue on Diamante, which will also feature high-profile contributions from T-Pain, Maluma and more. View the original article to see embedded media. Since adopting the GORDO alias, the "Taraka" producer has earned several significant accolades in a short period of time, including a Grammy nomination and topping Billboard's "Hot 100 Producers" chart. Fans can look forward to the producer's next milestone with the release of his debut album on July 26th. "This album embodies all my different tastes and personalities, from what I listen to, to what I play live, who I am as an artist, but most importantly, who Diamante is," he added. "It’s my most personal work to date and comes from a place of love and authenticity. Most of the album’s production was done at home in Hawaii. I would produce until 6 PM, then I’d take a break, sit on my terrace, and watch the sunset while listening to the album and taking it all in. It’s an album you can listen to at home and at a 5am rave; it can be the pinnacle of your night or the perfect come-down after a long day. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on."

In the twenty-tens, if you found yourself listening to artists like Rae Sremmurd, Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne, you were in good company. So did Tape B, the barnstorming dubstep and bass music producer who is channeling the nostalgia of their timeless hip-hop to cultivate his beloved "Old School x New School" style. Tape B's real name is Kemal Berk Alkanat, though he'll introduce himself as Berk since his first and middle names got switched in the midst of his move from Turkey at just three years old. Now 26, the DJ has found himself on a snowballing trajectory to superstardom. Tape B.Ricky Guidini Though his steps into electronic music's limelight are fairly recent, Alkanat has been producing music for 10 years. That means his Tape B project was well underway at the young age of 16. But it wasn’t until recently—through a pandemic-spurred move home to Boca Raton, Florida—that Alkanat had a lightbulb moment leading to his now-signature sound. "I was in this rut where I can make good music but I just don’t know who I am or what kind of music Tape B is," he recalls in an interview backstage at the dazzling Breakaway Festival in Minnesota. Through listening to dubstep from the iconic UKF channel along with loads of SoundCloud rap, Alkanat says he experienced an epiphany of sorts, deciding to remix the music he used to listen to in high school since he was home and "everything felt nostalgic" at the time. As it turned out, adding newfangled sounds to long-since popularized tracks seemed to fit what he wanted: a vibe of his own. "It clicked immediately after I made the first three," he recalls. "I was like, 'Yo, I’m actually pretty good at making these remixes.'" Though the songs he reworks are fairly recognizable among fans, Alkanat adds, he chooses their subject matter based off of his own perception of nostalgia. "I always try to keep it something niche to me where no one else is remixing it," he says. As his music grows increasingly popular music, Alkanat highlights another element that has become a signature: vowel bass, the deep and growling sound he endearingly refers to as "the yoys." This slithering sound is in the underbelly of his fan-favorite remix of PEEKABOO and LYNY's trap hit "Like That." Alkanat recognizes that fans are starting to associate his name with vowel bass, but he wants fans to know that he adopted the sound out of respect to its progenitors. "I feel like I did play a part in bringing that sound back, but it’s just been such an iconic sound for decades," he explains, crediting dubstep icons Zeds Dead and Doctor P with its popularization. Though the seismic sound is in much of his wobbly hybrid music, Alkanat strives to keep "the yoys" on a tight leash, emphasizing that he spaces them out in music releases and DJ sets alike. He identifies inspirations behind other Tape B sounds as Claybrook, SVDDEN DEATH, Space Laces, Getter and REZZ, among others. Though he mentions that his sound doesn’t much mirror that of his inspirations, it's the curation of an atmosphere surrounding their music that inspires him. "I just think they’re extremely unique; they do them very well," he says. Another major inspiration lies behind his adored tagline, "Yo Tape B, show 'em how it’s done." He credits influential trap producer TroyBoi with the idea to split up the line and strategically place its fragments throughout his tracks. View the original article to see embedded media. Now, after filtering through inspiration to find his own clarity in his direction, it's undeniable that he's achieved the perfect concoction of sentimentality, novelty and in-your-face bass. And his career has progressed exponentially, recently dropping high-flying sets at Coachella and Ultra Music Festival, just two of a plethora of major appearances. He's now gearing up for his own headlining tour in the fall—the largest of his career to-date. Pulling the yarn of his "Old School x New School" direction switch, Alkanat recalls a surreal moment at last year's Electric Forest that served as a crucial validator. "When I looked out, I couldn’t believe how big the crowd was," he reminisces with a smile. "I had prepared so well for it. I played my first song and I was immediately so happy—I was like, 'I know exactly what I'm doing, I'm so well prepared.' And I was so in the moment for that, and that was the day it turned around for me." For many fans of EDM and hip-hop alike, Tape B's recent track "Trippy Land," a collaboration with Mersiv and Juicy J, was an instant playlist staple upon release. Working with the iconic rapper, Alkanat says, helped to legitimize his work in hip-hop. The track's release also catalyzed the outreach of more artists he hadn't even dreamt of working with yet. Despite his excitement and gratitude, he emphasizes that when it comes to collaborations, he doesn’t want to rush it. "I want to make sure I have stuff that I’m really proud of before I send a lot of my favorite rappers and influences something to work on," he says. Other rappers he dreams of working alongside include Meechy from Flatbush Zombies, Schoolboy Q, Waka Flocka Flame and A$AP Rocky, the lattermost of whom tops the list. For Alkanat, the key to navigating his rapid ascent was getting over the fear of freestyling rather than having his sets planned out. "When I freestyle it’s just so much easier," he says. "I know exactly what I want to play... it was really just getting over that fear of freestyling in front of thousands of people." Knowing that freestyling led to his best work but fearing the potential mistakes that come with an unplanned set, it took some rationalizing to overcome his doubts. "Back then all I did was show up with a laptop and my controller and just read the room for four hours, and I thought I was way better back then at DJing," he explains. "So now I’m like, ‘I was good then, why don’t I just do this in a bigger setting?'" "It was kind of a mental battle, but now I’m very comfortable freestyling up there,” he continues, highlighting the connection it cultivates with his fans. "I think it’s more fun for the fans to just be in the moment and play what feels right." His approach extends even further, like in his fan-favorite "Cartunes" and "Driptapes" volumes released via SoundCloud. According to Alkanat, these mixes pay homage to his top live tracks of the year. You may be surprised to discover that he sits down and assembles these mixes all in one go. Alkanat says he finds himself consumed by a "random manic state" as he sits down to work on longer mixes and EPs, and the spontaneity with which he changes elements. "The 'Dopamine' VIP, with the Rae Sremmurd vocals over it—I made that the day before the mix came out and I’m like, 'I think this would actually fit!' And now it’s a lot of people’s favorite part from the mix," he reveals with a laugh. In the same vein of feeling and fun within his own studio, Alkanat wants to encourage a sense of community with his nostalgia-fueled music. So take it from the producer himself that his music and sets are there for your entertainment and escape—along with the occasional headbang". “At the end of the day, as long as everyone’s respectful, and they’re kind to each other and having fun, that’s what it's all about," he says. "We’re all here to get away from real-life shit and just have fun and listen to music."
