Boys Noize and Rico Nasty have joined forces to release HARDC0RE DR3AMZ, a new three-track EP. Kicking off the record is "Arintintin," a hyperactive dance track with a punk edge. Next up is "Vvgina," a techno-inspired banger with cathartic lyrics exploring heartbreak and the quest for liberation from past relationships. Rounding out the EP is "H.O.T.," an unapologetic breakbeat and hip-hop crossover highlighted by Rico Nasty's fierce vocals. Accompanying the single track is a nostalgic music video featuring camcorder footage and plenty of Y2K fashion, like parachute pants. Check out the video below. Rico Nasty says she connected with Boys Noize, one of the electronic music industry's most influential producers, six years ago. They found themselves in the studio and eventually performed together at the 2024 FriendShip festival. "Fast forward again, maybe 3-4 years, and we did a couple more sessions. We kept gravitating towards techno dance music," Nasty said in a statement shared with EDM.com. "He started putting me on to German dance music, and we traded a bunch of songs back and forth. Little by little over a few days, we ended up making three more songs that we really loved and decided we wanted to share with the world. Every session was so much fun and I'm sure that energy is felt across all of these tracks. One of my favorite songs on the project is... all of them. That's why she is so short!"

Fifteen years ago, on April 1, 2009, a collaboration that would become a cornerstone in the history of electronic dance music was born. Before the official formation of Swedish House Mafia, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello teamed up with the renowned Laidback Luke to produce ‘Leave The World Behind’, a track that remains a progressive dance music masterpiece. This collaboration, featuring the combined talents of these legendary artists, created a sound that was both innovative and timeless, resonating with audiences across the globe. ‘Leave The World Behind’ stands out for its emotive vocals and uplifting melodies, capturing the essence of progressive house music and showcasing the individual strengths of each artist. The track has become synonymous with a golden era in dance music, characterized by its blend of anthemic chords and driving beats. Swedish House Mafia, comprised of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello, emerged as one of the most iconic dance acts of the early 2010s. With a series of legendary dance anthems like ‘Don’t You Worry Child’, ‘Save The World’, ‘One (Your Name)’, and ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’, they made an indelible mark on the electronic music scene before their split in 2013 and subsequent return in 2018. Laidback Luke, known for his versatility and contributions to both house and techno, has maintained a significant presence in the industry. Renowned for his talent scouting and supportive nature, he has built an impressive career, influencing the evolution of dance music and inspiring countless artists. ‘Leave The World Behind’ is a testament to the collaborative spirit and creative energy of these artists.

Got a fresh techno heater for you to dissolve your brain cells to. The one and only Eli Brown just dropped a new collab with fellow techno destroyer Lilly Palmer called “Gasoline” and let me tell you, this one’s an absolute rager. I’ve been following Brown‘s releases for a while now after getting turned on to that mean “Escape” EP he put out on Insomniac’s Factory93 label back in 2021. This new “Gasoline” track landed on the same esteemed imprint, which makes total sense given how this is pretty much a turnt-up, adrenaline-fueled DJ tool primed to ignite the most rambunctious underground parties. From the very first kick, “Gasoline” just does not let up. It’s a full-on techno assault of pummeling beats, snarling distorted basslines, and these wild rave synth arpeggios that’ll have you pulling a Gollum face on the dancefloor. And the way Brown and Palmer wield those demented vocal samples is just twisted – one minute they’re burying them under murky filters, the next they’re chopping them up into haunting lingua franca for the techno hellscape they’ve constructed. Dudes know how to work a build too. There’s this one part where the kicks and hi-hats get vacuumed up by what sounds like a black hole voice until you’re straight up dry heaving for the droppppp…and then WHAM! Air horn cityyyyyy. Absolute primal techno tantrum designed to shatter beer bottles. Brown’s been putting out some seriously well-rounded dance music the past few years from tech house to deep techno to downright emotional vocal collabs. But “Gasoline” sees him and Palmer fully unhinged in psycho-purebred techno mode. No pretenses, no chill vibes…just blown subs and ruptured mushroom circuits aimed squarely at the darkest, most depraved after-hour havens. Don’t sleep, get gassin’!

For electronic music producer Marsh, his latest single “Warrior” is far more than just another release. The uplifting yet goosebump-inducing progressive house track is a musical salute to his lifelong best friend Jimmy. He has been waging a courageous battle against Leukaemia since his diagnosis in 2022. As Marsh puts pen to paper to describe the inspiration behind “Warrior”, his words transcend the dancefloor. His new song takes the listener inside the beautiful friendship that has defined his life. “Jimmy is so much more than just my best friend – he’s like a brother to me,” the UK-bred, US-based artist shares. “We forged our incredible bond as kids getting into mischief, playing video games, sports, even discovering the trance music we both fell in love with together.” Those shared experiences, spanning decades from childhood into adulthood, made Jimmy’s cancer diagnosis hit exponentially harder. Yet in the face of such adversity, Marsh watched his best friend display a resilience and fighting spirit nothing short of heroic. “His journey battling this disease has been an inspiration, a testament to his strength,” Marsh continues. “I wanted to dedicate ‘Warrior’ to Jimmy as a humble tribute, celebrating the champion he’s been through this incredibly difficult fight.” The single’s aptly titled, as “Warrior” sees Marsh translating Jimmy’s unyielding spirit into a true progressive house anthem. Waves of ethereal melodies and rapturous builds conjure the emotional capacity of two friends. The record’s most powerful moment hits when the euphoric chords finally reach their peak – a fistpump-worthy salute to Jimmy’s incredible recent news of two consecutive clear cancer scans. “I’m just so proud of him and grateful to have my best friend, my brother, by my side,” Marsh shares. With “Warrior” he’s not only paid tribute to their bond through music, but doubled down on his support for the cause. He launched the record with an exclusive event in London donating all proceeds to the charity Leukaemia UK, with another livestream at Kew Gardens likewise raising funds. As Marsh’s touring schedule ramps up and he prepares for his new “Aria” live show, “Warrior” is sure to be a set centerpiece and reminder of what’s most important – the persevering human spirit and the immeasurable power of friendship.

Nearly 25 years after forever changing the fabric of digital music distribution, it seems Napster is still focused on innovation. This time around, they're experimenting with a more unconventional form of marketing: fortune cookies. Napster, which is now a streaming service, has partnered with OpenFortune, a marketing company whose mission is rooted in promoting brands through fortune cookies distributed to restaurants. Their campaign will embed papers with QR codes into cookies to promote individual artists as well as the Napster platform, giving them a three-month free trial. Over 50 million fortune cookies will be distributed, Music Ally reports. While it might seem silly on the surface, it's tough to deny the creativity of promoting music through an after-dinner snack. We're not aware of any data from OpenFortune elucidating how much a campaign like this can affect streaming numbers, but time will tell if their strategy is worth baking into a music release rollout. my fortune cookie is brought to you by napster lmao pic.twitter.com/9hSlp3zAw6 — just matt for supreme court (@questionableway) March 28, 2024
