March is almost upon us which means that finally, after two years of cancellations, Miami Music Week is back on to kick off festival season! Excitement is radiating all over social media for both the conference and the special events that will be taking place each night.

Over the iterations and chapters, I started to envision ‘The Masquerade’ as a world of its own.

Your EDM Premiere: Exclusive Full Set from Andromedik and Liquicity to Go With “I See You” Release [Video]
We all know how tough and uncertain things were in 2020 and 2021 when it came to rave events and lineups. So many moving parts, from venues being shut down, a new government regulation apparently every minute, and of course artist travel problems. Hell, we’re still not out of the COVID muck in the second month of 2022. This inevitable and unavoidable glitch happened at the September 2021 Liquicity in Prague when Maduk, one of the hotly anticipated headliners, couldn’t make it due to travel restrictions. Luckily another Liquicity favorite, Andromedik, was able to step in. His set ended up being one of the highlights of that event and possibly the year. With Andromedik’s latest single, “I See You” having just released last week, Liquicity decided it was a good time to also release the legendary Prague set on YouTube, and Your EDM has the premiere. With the pared-down yet nonetheless fervent audience (pared down for Liquicity, that is; the crowd was still massive) spurring on the epic energy, Andromedik ripped through a number of white labels, including “I See You” at the very beginning of the set. The energy of the set, COVID or no, is representative of Liquicity and will bring fans right back to those epic times at the biggest liquid festie on the planet. The afore-mentioned “I See You” was a great way for Andromedik to open his set; melodic and emotive but with heavy dancefloor vibes, this track is a balanced look at Andromedik’s style and substance. Paired with vocalist Reink’s melodic verse, the synths charge the track forward as the starburst beat line ensure we’re well inside D&B lines even with the theatrical pop composition structure. Andromedik’s Liquicty set and “I See You” are watchwords of what we’re all fighting for in the rave world; the freedom to create, to gather and to truly be “seen.” COVID and its regulations can’t take that from humanity and these two pieces are stating the goal, loud and clear: we must, and will, save the rave. “I See You” is out now on Liquicity Records and can be streamed or purchased here. Check out other Liquicity sets on their YouTube Channel. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Someone Else and SIRUX Collab on Energetic Hardstyle Anthem, ‘Apocalypse’
Hardstyle is the genre that keeps on giving. For many years it was thought that this genre have just died off, well that’s anything far from the truth as this epic collaboration between Someone Else and SIRUX gives new energy and production prowess to this genre. Expect layers of catchy melody, climatic builds & non stop energy throughout the track. Talking to Someone Else he comments on this next chapter, “I wanted a total overhaulas to what this project means to me, in my yearlong journey of soul searching, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I may not be the most consistent or successful so instead of worrying about getting my music where I want it to be, I want to make music I wish I existed, and songs that if I heard them I’d go like damn why didn’t I make something like this! The possibilities are endless when you’re not limited by where you want to go with your music. I’m releasing hardstyle now, then I’ll put out a LoFi EP, or a melodic dubstep single next, who knows? Someone Else has something for everyone.” This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Someone Else and SIRUX Collab on Energetic Hardstyle Anthem, ‘Apocalypse’

Jon Suarez Pops-Off With New Club Banger “Social Distortion”
In his very first single of the year, Jon Suarez slaps us with his most bombastic work to date. “Social Distortion”, released on Darklight Recordings, unleashes a club-spirited concoction of party fuel, lively enough for a rowdy festival crowd but domesticated enough for a bar scene. The intro rides on hints of techno, making for a deep and almost mysterious vibe, until a unique relationship of jutting samples and glottal vocal chops begin to define the verse. Tension builds and a blaring brass section steals the chorus in triumph. Suarez continues to shine as a reliable source of spellbinding dance potions. Jon Suarez’s music has always bolstered the spirit of the club. He’s from New York, having grown up in its club scene with a passion for DJing, which now directly plays into his production goals and style. Since his first releases in 2020, each of his new singles reflects more and more artistic maturity, yet they’ve remained fun and danceable from the beginning. Suarez truly delivers and shows no signs of stopping. This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Jon Suarez Pops-Off With New Club Banger “Social Distortion”

Adventure Club Make Triumphant Return With First Album In 6 Years “Love // Chaos”
Fourteen singles from an album fans have been waiting to hear for six years might seem excessive, but when you’re offering a total of 25 tracks and 90 minutes of music, a little leniency can be earned. Adventure Club finally release their sophomore album Love // Chaos today, six years after their debut Red // Blue in 2016. Strapped with a vast array of premier features from Krewella, Yuna, Lucii, Blanke, Said The Sky, Prince Fox, Birthdayy Partyy, and many others, Love // Chaos solidifies Adventure Club as pioneers of emotive, vocal-driven bass music while showcasing the duo’s mastery of other genres. Including recent releases “Safe With Me” and “Color Blind,” the album dabbles in everything from melodic bass and blistering dubstep to buoyant house, calling to sounds from the pair’s iconic earlier releases while delving into new sonic ground. Adventure Club said of the album, “Love // Chaos is a culmination of everything we’ve learned, loved and lost throughout our career which began in 2011. We searched deep within ourselves for inspiration for this album. We’ve shared incredible experiences with so many people around the world. We’ve also had to face our own demons, overcome some personal obstacles. I think we tried to address so much of what we’ve uncovered over the past 10 years. We originally started Adventure Club with the goal of producing the most heavy dubstep imaginable… but after a couple releases we really found solace and hit our stride with female vocals and taking a more melodic bass approach. “From then, it was a whirlwind of trying to find ourselves and our sound, experimenting with different genres. Which ultimately leads us to today… This album is a true return to our roots with a dash of other genres we’ve come to love. We’ve collaborated with so many of our favorite artists on Love // Chaos. Every single one we admire so much and we’re honored to have worked with them. We can’t thank them and everyone who’s been by our side for making this album as perfect as possible in our eyes.” Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM.

Matrino Joins Forces With Maciel For “Feel Like That” Featuring SIAS
Based in San Francisco, rising house talent Matrino has returned with a truly exciting house anthem, teaming up with one of Latin America’s most acclaimed dance music artists, Maciel, as well as Detroit-based singing duo SIAS. The result of this exciting combination of talents is titled “Feel Like That,” and – to no surprise – it’s already taking over the electronic music world with 50k streams in its first week and more than 250k streams to date. Out via exciting label Loud Memory, “Feel Like That” masterfully combines the respective styles of all three acts, and offers immersive and infectious vibes. A tune made both for the radio and the dancefloor, “Feel Like That” is driven by warm basslines, groovy drums and smooth atmospheres, while SIAS’ intimate vocals take the arrangement to the next level. Read our interview with Matrino below: You just released your single “Get It” via Loud Memory. Talk to us a bit about how the track came about. Get It was something I finished in early 2021, after releasing a few collaborations I wanted to release a high-energy dance track and Get It was sitting in my files and it made sense to release the track. I’m very happy with how the track has done! You’ve collaborated with Maciel two times so far, on “Feel Like That” and “Only One.” How did you two connect, and do you have any more exciting tunes with him in the works? Me and Maciel have known eachother for quite some time now and we worked on things in the past but we never released anything. It wasn’t until we started working on Only One that we noticed that we had very similar workflows and that led to us working on Feel Like That, our chemistry and taste has helped us a ton! We definitely have some more projects in the works, stayed tuned for something huge soon! What do you look for when sourcing the right people to collaborate with? I look for drive and vision. I look for people who are hungry to release something that is top-tier and someone who will sit down and stay locked in during production sessions but also, someone who has a strong desire to draw up a great marketing plan to make sure that the track performs well and reaches the masses. How did your love for music initially start? When did you decide to channel that love into music production? I have been around music my whole life, I was first exposed to dance music in 2015 and in 2016 I discovered artists such as Malaa, Tchami, and Julian Jordan to name a few. It was very natural for me to venture into dance music and grow my production skills, it wasn’t until 2020 that I decided what direction I wanted to take and the rest has fallen into place on its own. Where do you search for inspiration before sitting down to make music? I love to listen to live sets, SoundCloud/Mixcloud mixes and absorb what I hear to drive the direction that I want to take in that particular session. What would you be doing if you weren’t a music producer? I would probably be working my way up in talent management, I love the dance music culture and scene and would still find a way to be a part of it. If you were able to have the best singing voice in the world, or be able to play every instrument perfectly, what would you choose? I would definitely want to have the best singing voice! What are your plans for 2022? Do you have any exciting collaborations in the works? I have plans to continue to release new music both collaborations/singles! I also have some shows in the works so I’m super stoked about that! Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself in music 100%, I see myself touring and continuing to release music, I also see myself starting my own label, a dream of mine. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Your EDM Premiere: Play Me Set to Intro Skellytn and Her Glitchy ‘Neurocomputer’
It’s not often that an artist who started out in dubstep/riddim in the US will do even better when they transition to drum & bass, but Skellytn proves the exception to this and many other bass music rules. Since her first release, “Blood,” in February 2021 on 40oz Cult, the LA-based genre-hopping glitch fanatic has been honing her craft with single releases on Reid Speed’s Play Me and Play Me Too imprints as well as on Space Yacht and an EP called Cybernetic Ritual on Drama Club Recordings. Now less than a year after the initial and already quite high-quality style tests, Skellytn’s got her craft honed, her sound tight and an epic album to show for it. Neurocomputer is due out on Play Me this Friday, February 11 and, true to its name, this LP has some of the most blistering neurofunk to come from the states, possibly ever. But it’s not just neuro; Skellytn has a knack for blending sublime melodies with heavy, glitchy mid lines and brain-scrambling syncopation. In fact, the first two teaser singles released thus far, “Dystopia” and “Voodoo,” could both easily be called “Brain Scramble” part I and II. So much glitch, so much syncopation, so little time. With a composition style that borders on classical and theatrical as evidenced by tracks like the ameny yet heavily sound-designed “Oracle Protocol” or the ready-for-Neosignal “Enigma,” digging deeper into Neurocomputer sees Skellytn still presenting a love for lots of styles. Heavy on the interstitial snares and phrase cut-throughs, the album still has some more minimal melodic tunes like “Separate Ways” and album closer “Singularity” that hearken back to her collab with Kayten on their “Fall” single last year. She’s also given a cheeky nod to her dubstep roots with the halftime “Disassociate.” It seems with all these styles that Neurocomputer is not only a cheeky futuristic-themed bass music romp, but a love letter from Skellytn to all the forms of bass music she’s loved and still loves. The track that balances and summarizes all the elements in Neurocomputer while still lighting up the dancefloor no end is “Neural Network.” It also happens to be our YEDM premiere today. The track starts out with a melodic sound design desert of an intro which lulls the listener into a false sense of peace before some of the fastest and most technical drum breakdowns D&B has ever seen drop into a grimy mid synth and increasingly syncopated and glitched out drum line which, rather than driving the track, sits on the mid line and, what else, serves to scramble the listener’s brain. It’s the best of Euro-quality neuro and big, stateside fuck off party vibes jammed into one track. “Neural Network” demonstrates just what Skellytn is capable of and warns that we haven’t seen anything yet. Play Me Records · Skellytn – Neural Network If any album has the ability to really connect to the UK and EU D&B sensibilities, it’s got to be Neurocomputer. If Skellytn keeps up this pace and quality, it’s only a matter of time before the Eatbrains and Blackouts of the world come calling. In the meantime, fans should get ready to hear this album and its lush, diverse tracks played on rigs across the rave landscape. Neurocomputer drops this Friday, February 11 on Play Me.

ODESZA Returns After 4 Year Hiatus: “The Last Goodbye (feat. Bettye LaVette)”
Apart from their 2020 project with Golden Features, BRONSON, it’s been four years (and change) since ODESZA have released new music. Their 2017 album, A Moment Apart, spawned the largest tour of the duo’s career, visiting every corner of the globe and every major festival. But the work clearly took a toll on their creativity and they’ve been in hiatus since the conclusion of the tour in 2019. Today, they released their first new song since A Moment Apart, the beginning of their next album, “The Last Goodbye” featuring Bettye LaVette. The vocals were taken from LaVette’s 1965 release, which left an impression on the duo. On the track, ODESZA notes: “This song was born out of the concept of trying to bring these lasting, defining musical pieces like the 1965 release of ‘Let Me Down Easy’ by Bettye LaVette into a modern and contemporary electronic setting. The idea of bringing two worlds together, that at first seem distant, has always been something we’ve been drawn to. It was an absolute honor to be able to work with Bettye’s voice over the course of writing the track. She’s able to convey emotion with her vocal work unlike any other. To date, this has been one of the more fulfilling songs we’ve had the chance to work on as artists. We hope everyone who listens enjoys the track as much as we did making it.” There’s still plenty more to look forward to from ODESZA in 2022 so keep an eye out!

Nicky Romero Teams Up with Low Blow for Groovy House EP See You On The Dancefloor
When you think of Nicky Romero, you probably think of festival tunes, melodic progressive sounds. But, Nicky’s latest release is straight out of left field, but that’s what makes it so, so good. Teaming up with Spanish producer Low Blow, they just dropped their two-track See You On the Dancefloor EP. Combining groovy house beats with some disco flourishes, See You on the Dancefloor will have you dancing in a way you never have to Nicky Romero. The title track really sets the tone; that vocal sample, the drum buildup, leading to the hi-hats and disco synths just gets you up out of your chair. Nicky’s dropped this one in his live sets, so this one is a pleasant surprise for fans. The second track, “Higher” is more a blend of tech-house and disco. It’s got a consistent groove, before the volume lowers and you get that tech-house build into a groovy drop, complete with horn synths. Check out Nicky Romero & Low Blow’s See You On the Dancefloor EP, out now on Protocol. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Armin van Buuren and Sam Gray Drop Uplifting Piano House Single “Human Touch”
Armin van Buuren is back with his first single of 2022, “Human Touch.” Armin teams up with rising English singer Sam Gray for an uplifting piano house tune that will have you yearning for the dancefloor and have you reaching out for that “Human Touch.” Despite the uplifting nature of the track, the song is about how without human interaction, we’re just not quite the same. Almost two years into the pandemic, who can’t relate to that sentiment. The production on the track is fairly minimal, some light synths and pads in the background allow Sam Gray’s soaring vocals to really shine. The chorus and drop feature some euphoric piano house and a groovy beat. Here’s what Armin and Sam had to say about this epic collab. “I love working with artists who bring a unique perspective to the table, and Sam Gray did just that as someone who’s rapidly becoming a vocal force to be reckoned with in the music industry. ‘Human Touch’ is a song I think lots of people can relate to and draw strength from. I hope it inspires everyone to reach out to one another and reassure them they’ll always have someone to turn to.” – Armin van Buuren “I woke up one morning really feeling the time it’s been since I’ve seen my family in the U.K. During the pandemic, we’ve all adjusted to Zoom sessions and FaceTime calls being our new normal. While I’m grateful for technology, it’s not and will never be the same as sitting in the same room or holding someone in your arms. We’re all just making the best of a terrible season. The isolation has been devastating both to witness and experience. I’m grateful that Armin heard my heart and helped make this record the very special song that it is. I don’t know a human that doesn’t relate.” – Sam Gray Check out the lyric video for Armin van Buuren & Sam Gray’s “Human Touch”, out now on Armada. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Burko Debuts His Vocals on New Single “Here Before”
Burko has taken over the SoCal scene by storm with his uniquely dark-yet-melodic style of house and techno. Today, he showcases his vocal prowess by debuting his own vocal performance on his new track, “Here Before,” a driving melodic techno track. With “Here Before,” Burko solidifies his range of talents as one of the few house/techno producers who can deliver a stunning vocal performance. On “Here Before” Burko tells us: “When I wrote “Here Before” I was in my last bit of grad school, and had a lot of pressure from family to go into a more traditional line of work after graduation. I knew I needed to push myself and the Burko project harder if I was going to move into music full time after graduating, so I decided to do something with this song I had never done before, sing on my own track. Putting nerves aside of letting my singing voice be heard, I wrote these vocals around the theme of “staying the course.” The lyric in the song, “Don’t lose sight of why we’re here” is a reminder to myself not to lose sight of the dream of making music and touring after graduation, instead of a more traditional route. And the title, “Here Before,” refers to the place in my mind I sometimes end up at, when fear of the future sets in and I have to remind myself to stay the course.” Be on the look out as Burko continues to evolve with every new release.
