Rusted Root’s “Send Me On My” is a song that continues to stand the test of time. There’s something fun, adventurous, and youthful about the spirit of song that has helped keep it a treasure for all of these years. Now, the talented DJ/Producer Martial Simon flipped it into what feels like a main stage dance anthem, featuring the vocals of Mike Burke. It’s bursting with uplifting, summertime melodies that can’t help but make you want to dance. If you could dance to a ballad and be emotionally enlightened, this will be the track to get you to this state of musical bliss. Here’s what Martial Simon had to say about it: “This record is very special to me. I teamed up with vocalist Mike Burke based in Nashville. He and I attended the same high school in Massachusetts. We both loved the original by Rusted Root growing up. What better way to remake it, together with the same vision. A powerful drop with soulful vocals, perfect for any dancefloor or beach party. This song definitely takes you on a ride.” Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Martial Simon Flips “Send Me On My Way” Into Dance Anthem With His Remix ft. Mike Burke

If there was ever a song to get us through hump day, it’s “Rock Like This“, the booming bass eccentric single from the brilliant minds of Kartypartyy and PURGE. Both Kartpartyy and PURGE have Asian roots and met for the first time at EDC Las Vegas 2021. Kartypartyy was playing on the Welcome Records Art Car takeover and invited PURGE to come rock with him on stage and boom, the rest is history! One listen to through and it’s evident how well Kartypartyy and PURGE work together. According to these artists, this track was produced with banger energy in mind from the get-go. The inspiration was purely about revving it like a car engine, switching gears, and accelerating through the night. It’s safe to say “Rock Like This” delivers on providing this type of unbridled energy, featuring thundering synths and a electrifying drop that might just melt your speakers.

Daddy Yankee’s Gasolina is a 2 decade old hit that still slaps like it did back in the day. It seems electronic solo artist Chuwe feels this way as well, he’s flipped the classic to make it his own and be fully ready for the clubs. “Gasolina (Chuwe Remix),” helps the vibe get buck-wild with it’s house-dominant approach which plucks samples from the original and mixes it with his style. The track nails a modern electronic feel with concepts of the original song. The aura is easy to put on repeat and would go great into any set that’s ready to ignite the night. This is far from Chuwe’s first release, the man has been around the block when it comes to making music, with many of his tracks gaining nice support through and through. Diplo, DJ Snake, Marshmello, Skrillex, Yellow Claw, Major Lazer, have all supported his music at one time or another, giving sign that this artist is headed in the right direction.

I remember just being posted up inside my car, writing, in a Whole Foods parking lot (they always have free WiFi). I had a lot on my mind that day. I sent the vocals to Shöckface and he built all the production around them. Not many producers can do that well, but he’s a fuckin genius man.

WHIPPED CREAM has arrived on the scene in 2022 with her first original of the year — and she invited some rather iconic friends to the party — Big Freedia, Moore Kismet and UNIIQU3. The collaborative single “HOLD UP” doubles as a club banger and empowering anthem, celebrating black sheep everywhere with fierce energy and bounce. The team up of these bold artists and personalities is beautifully executed, with intent to encourage anyone who may hear the collab to be themselves unapologetically. WHIPPED CREAM shares, “‘HOLD UP’ is a song created for the people who have never seemingly fit in. For those who have had to fight like hell to simply BE WHO THEY ARE.” “Once I was done with the beat, I wanted to bring on a variety of artists that have really inspired me to keep going as my true self and have them lay their message down on the record in anyway they wanted with the message, ‘I am who I am whether you like it, accept it or not, and I was born to do this, be here and shine, I might even inspire others to keep being themselves too.'” Listen below and read more about the collaborative single from WHIPPED CREAM’s perspective here. Club Queen UNIIQU3 sounds off here and The Unicorn Moore Kismet offers some inspiring words here. P.S. Happy birthday to the Queen Diva, Big Freedia!

The Swedish atmospheric and production powerhouse known as Seba is also known for being a bit reclusive. The name of his label is Secret Operations, after all. That said, it’s sort of worked for his brand – not that he was necessarily thinking about it – because the subtle sound design and sometimes whisper quiet yet expertly crafted snares that typify Seba’s sound lend themselves to that sort of mystique. Either way, it’s rare to get a peek into an artist’s process and Seba just gave us a big look into Ingaro. The next chapter in Seba’s glorious legacy starts out exactly as fans would hope, with a goosebump-inducing atmospheric track called “How It Goes,” featuring vocalist Marina Samba and is the perfect intro to the album. Pairing his classic heart-rending synths and sound design with classic 90s style beats, whip snap snares and syncopation to die for. Ingaro, which dropped last Friday, January 21, is the most epic multi-track from Seba since, well…since the last one. With a sound as original as Seba’s many fans may think his ideas are completely organic but even the most cutting-edge artist takes inspiration for somewhere. D&B artists also often dance around the subject of who influenced them or give a general idea, but Seba’s different in that way too: his descriptions are very specific not only about what influenced Ingaro. Is he more aware of his influences than most artists? Probably not; most artists, especially in D&B, have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of all the sounds through the ages. So really that makes Seba more honest and clinical than many. For him, it’s just a fact, and if an artist is happy with their work, why not share who helped you along the way? Since he’s been so great about pinpointing these influences and since we know you’re all listening to Ingaro on repeat now, if you’re a tech head we recommend listening to the tracks named below on the album and the tracks Seba lists as influential and see if you can hear the homages. Even if you’re not a tech head, learning an artist’s process is always fascinating and because Seba’s got such a wide mental lexicon for music, we guarantee there will be at least one track on this list that many of you are hearing for the first time. Now, into the mind of Seba we go; he’s given a great map. Massive Attack – Unfinished sympathy It wasn’t intentional, and I wasn’t aware of the inspiration. One of my friends sat in the studio and listened to ”How It Goes” and said ”it’s like a modern version of ‘Unfinished Sympathy’.” Obviously I can’t say that is what we were aiming for, neither achieved. But I understand what he means, with the smooth voice of Marina Samba and the attitude of the track. Maybe ”Unfinished Sympathy” was ringing in the back of my head while writing this track? One thing is for sure. I put some work in to making Marina sound a bit 90s rave-vocal. Moderat – Rusty Nails Me and Björn (Berglund) sort of used this as a model when we started sketching on ”Diamonds” (feat Samuel Lancine) some 13 years ago. You can hear it in the rhythm in the beginning of our track. When I dug this one up for the album, I realized that we were too stuck on sounding like Moderat but still tried to stay away from that sound. The solution was to revamp the breaks and the drums, et voila! Etapp Kyle – Aurora This track hasn’t really inspired me to write any particular track on the album, but has contributed to the overall sound of a few tracks. I listen to a lot of techno and that can be reflected in my music. On Ingaro, the tracks that have a clear techno influence are ”Horsepower,” ”Eztli” and ”All too much. I think its important to listen to a lot of different genres of music and get inspired to include that in the genre that I’m working with. Spirit – Life Goes On This one is a bit obvious. Some people have already told me that ”Sequence 5” sounds like ”Life Goes On” by Spirit. I am aware of that. I don’t like copying other people’s sound, even if that is inevitable sometimes. This track came to existence while I was playing around with a new piece of analog hardware in the studio. I really liked the Kraftwerk type of sound that I got out of the machine, but soon realized it sounded like a track that I’ve been playing a lot for many years. Nevertheless, I decided to finish the track and it fit well into my album. Skee Mask – Shred 08 Again, here is an artist that hasn’t inspired any particular track on the album, but an artist that I’ve listened to a lot while writing the album. Skee Mask’s music is just electronic versatile. It’s not techno, dubstep, ambient or drum & bass. It’s all of those fused together in a new form of music. I don’t think ”Horsepower” would have turned out the way it did if I hadn’t been listening to Skee Mask. Source Direct – The Cult Source Direct left a huge imprint in the drum & bass scene. I’ve taken so much inspiration from many of their tracks. This time i wanted to create this kind of vibe but with some lighter drums, and the result is ”Thoughts Run Free.” I felt the track was a bit naked without a vocal. Instead of finding a sample I decided to see with Blackeye if he was up do doing another track with me. The result was very satisfying.

The time has come for the next chapter of Black Tiger Sex Machine’s ever-expanding dystopian world. After a massive year that saw the Montreal trio headline Red Rocks, play festivals like Lost Lands, Bass Canyon and more, BTSM are kicking off 2022 on January 28th with their highly anticipated 3rd album, Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld. “Our post-apocalyptic universe is a bleak place where the world is crumbling. In some ways the hardships mirror what we’ve all gone through in the past couple years in real life. With this album we wanted to write from that perspective of coming in and out of hard times while still having some fight and hope left in us.” – BTSM Coming in at 12 tracks, Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld features many familiar faces including Kai Wachi, YOOKiE, Macntaj, ATLiens, as well as new collaborators like YMIR, WODD, Wasiu and the guitarist/vocalist Ryan Perdz of TikTok fame. Previously released hit singles like “Cheatcode” and “Wild Kids” are included on the LP as well. Songs like the hybrid hip-hop anthem “Trailblazer” and the genre-bending Squid Game inspired “Front Man” are just some of the newer cuts on the album that showcase the next evolution of BTSM’s sound. “It was important to us that we worked with a lot of vocalists on the album, more than ever before, as we wanted to tell these stories from unique viewpoints and be more explicit about the world-building with thoughts and emotions that didn’t just stem from our production. It was a blast working with everyone and being able to bring them into our world and add depth as characters made this a special project.” Check out the full album below!

Following a two-year break from touring and releasing music, The Chainsmokers have returned to unveil their new single “High” today. The song, which was co-written and co-produced with Whethan, launches a new musical era for the band and kicks off the journey towards their upcoming fourth full-length album. The song’s official music video has also premiered today and follows the guys to death-defying heights as Drew chases his unattainable significant other through several surreal scenarios, and showcases navigating through a world where love is always fleeting. The band has also said of the single, “The song perfectly captures the spirit of today’s relationships, the lengths we will go for someone we love, and the lies we tell ourselves to continue on unhappily. However, underlying these dark and often contentious lyrics is a production that feels celebratory because we all know at the end of the day, we never listen to advice, we do what feels best for ourselves and keep telling ourselves it will be different this time.” The Chainsmokers will perform “High” live for the first time ever during the Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship Game Halftime Show Presented by Audi this Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. The game kicks off at 3:30pm PT / 6:30pm ET, will be broadcast on FOX. Speaking to Zane Lowe on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1, Drew said, “I think we were happy with our last couple albums, but we just didn’t feel that those songs were really like living up to what we really thought we were capable of. That wasn’t honoring of where we thought Chainsmokers could go. And we needed some time to just stop and chill. “And we went away to Hawaii in the beginning of 2020. We just went and surfed and drank and laughed and took mushrooms and listened to tons of music that we loved. And we just got refocused. Then we had Emily Warren with us and Whethan and Ian Kirkpatrick and we just all got on a vibe together and made what’s now the backbone of our fourth album and it feels genreless. It’s fun. It incorporates all these sounds that we’ve loved from our entire lives of listening to music. And it’s exciting to press play… cultivating your creativity is one of the hardest things to do. And we landed back in that little wave and ever since then, I think we’ve been more inspired now than we have in the past four years. And so we’re excited to show everybody all the stuff we’re making,” Check out “High” below. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Claptone is a man in no need of an introduction. He’s already left a permanent legacy in the dance music world with his unbridled imagination and uncanny ability to push the creative boundaries of both house music and live events. If you’ve ever seen him live or attended one of his Masquerade events, you’ll know what I mean. Claptone is still fresh off of releasing his critically acclaimed album ‘Closer‘, released in November 2021, which featured timeless vocalists like Seal and Barry Manilow along with fresh-faced acts like James Vincent McMorrow and Mansionair. He recently enlisted the Queen of Deep House, Nora En Pure, to remix his single “Queen Of Ice“, featuring the beautiful vocals of Dizzy, that was enthralling through and through. Now, Claptone has tapped legendary UK duo Pet Shop Boys to provide their take on “Queen Of Ice” and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Pet Shop Boys have been going strong since the 1980’s and continue to impress with their amazing ability to blend club and pop music in a way that feels fresh and genuine. Whether it’s through the icy ambiance that greets your ears right at the start, or the hypnotic groove that sets in shortly after, Pet Shop Boys truly created a mesmerizing remix, one that you can’t help but want to keep on repeat. “When my remix for ‘Love Is A Bourgeois Construct’ was released in December of 2013, I felt that it was the peak of Claptone. But three artist albums and countless hit songs later I can proudly say I was wrong. Still, I felt like I was on top of the world back then and I feel the same way today as Pet Shop Boys return the favor and remix ‘Queen of Ice‘ ft. Dizzy. Almost 40 years ago they started creating club-influenced pop, opening up doors for underground club music on the radio and in the charts. Their work in the 80s, 90s and 2000’s is the reason why dance music is in the DNA of every top hit today. They are true pioneers still producing great music and expanding their very own world, what an inspiration.” – Claptone In addition to this remix, Claptone has announced a few upcoming North American tour dates, including Skyline Festival, Ultra Music Festival, and a headlining set at EDC Mexico.

Grey Code has always been known for his diversity in sound, pretty much as soon as he hit the scene. With clean synths, cleaner breaks and overall work that reads more like high concept art than dancefloor D&B. It’s no wonder he’s released on so many premier labels since his first releases in 2017. Now with almost everything he does being scoffed up by Metalheadz, the continuation of the sonic journey that started with his Reprieve and Heilos EPs is almost here in the massive Renewal album, due out this Friday, January 28, could really only be on the mega-imprint. A sonic journey in itself, Renewal is both a departure for Grey Code and right down the line of what fans love about him. Somehow celestial, cinematic and heavy all at once, the new album is as emotionally complicated as it is musically. Inspired, as most musicians have been these last two years, by COVID and its effects on history, Renewal tells a contemplative story so engaging that listeners may forget they’re listening to drum & bass. It’s an experience, not just a beat. Don’t get us wrong; the drum & bass beats feature heavily in Renewal and will play well on big rigs because of course they will, but there’s an air of difference and expansion into other territory here that will make almost every track stand out. Think Misanthrop’s Blurred EP or Noisia’s more high concept stuff, a’la “The Nomad” with Mono/Poly: it’s instantly recognizable not because it’s popular but because it’s different, both musically and emotionally. Tracks like “Prima,” “Primrose” and “Iliad” on this album will, when dropped, instantly take the audience to a different space. They just happen to be danceable as well. There are also tracks on the album that are so different that they’re properly in different genres (not that GC has ever cared about genre). “Quantified” sounds more like an industrial producer fell in love with a digital pixie than anything in the bass music category, for example, and “Birth (Interlude)” is truly beatless, sounding a bit like what would happen if someone threw the self-playing mods from Switched on Bach into a black hole. Spaghetti wiring being spaghettified. Trippy. Somewhere between the heavy beats and beatless mod play on Renewal lies our premiere for today, “Miserere” featuring a new artist, Fixed Point. Following directly after “Birth,” Miserere kicks off a beautifully, synthy and heavily vapor wave-inspired synth with cinematic and celestial sound design. Then, rather than dropping directly into the heavy mess of sub synth and snare-driven dark beat, those elements sort of wash over the intro and draw it into said sub synth and snares. From there it’s almost a battle between the earth and the skies, or heaven and hell, depending on your philosophy, and they two parts come to a synergistic cacophony at the classically-composed crescendo, winding around each other rather than battling in the end. A single, vintage synth chord marks the end of the track, but not the recession of goosebumps. That won’t happen for a while. It’s hard to claim a best track on this album, but “Miserere” is close. Metalheadz · Grey Code – Miserere (ft. Fixed Point) There are a lot of levels to listen to Renewal on; you can contemplate the futility of existence while listening to the full album if you like or just skank away to each track on the dancefloor. You can appreciate the sound design and craftsmanship (like your humble theory nerd author) or blast the bass in the car and piss off your whole town. Grey Code’s such a good artist because he gives the audience a choice. No matter how you want to experience it, Renewal captures a musical and cultural snapshot in time and is an epic drum & bass album for the ages; that’s universal. Renewal drops this Friday, January 28 on Metalheadz. Click here to pre-order or pre-save. This article was first published on Your EDM.
