Paul Supreme is a somewhat avant garde house, pop and hip hop artist who began releasing in 2020 with his first album, Golden Hour. His first releases in 2020 and 2021 were more conventional pop/EDM crossover, but recently it’s been his more indie-infused tracks that have been well-received on Spotify. Possibly surprising to some fans of traditional EDM, the addition of more raw, rock-inspired vocals seem to have made all the difference. His newest single, “Ninja Sword” released in early June, is already up to nearly 65,000 streams and climbing while his most popular track, “In a Robe” is about to reach 300k. What helped the rising star gain such notoriety quickly? It seems the key ingredient is authenticity. Supreme began his own musical journey fronting experimental trip hop groups. He also had some pretty heavy influence growing up as the son of the late Dennis Flemion, a founding member of the infamous 90s alt rock, The Frogs. The Frogs were deep in the 80s and 90s grunge scene which means a young Paul Supreme grew up around the likes of Nirvana, Beck, The Breeders and Smashing Pumpkins, with whom Dennis Flemion toured after the passing of the band’s keyboard player, Johnathon Melvoin, after he passed. It’s clear The Frogs had a lasting influence on Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, because Flemion and Corgan had a very similar vocal style. A style which, is seems, has now been utilized with great success by Paul Supreme. Within EDM, vocal styles tend to focus on tight control of the vox, both in singing technique and in in production. Even in the rougher areas of bass music like drum & bass and dubstep, the vocals are, while capable of being very emotive, are also highly stylized. With his recent releases like the “Ninja Sword” single and the extremely popular “In a Robe,” Supreme’s vocals are unhinged, raw, and decidedly devoid of loads of engineering. Just like in the grunge and indie bands of his father’s era, this lack of styling creates an extra, dissonant layer to the work, made even more palpable by the very stylized production. Supreme’s newest track, “First Team All G,” which just dropped this week on July 3, reminds fans that he’s also a skilled rapper. With the same intense, Corgan-like vocal timbre, Supreme winds his way through the trap/house combo production with a mix of grime-style melodic rap and traditional singing, “First Team All G” shows that Paul Supreme is still playing with style. From all his releases and such a diverse pool of style and influence from which to pull, it seems as though Supreme will never run out of ideas for new tracks and new ways to make EDM and pop interesting and different. In the meantime, his unconventional pairing of indie-style vocals and well-produced electronica is clearly working for him. “Ninja Sword” and “First Team All G” are both available along with the rest of Paul Supreme’s discography on Spotify.

We all probably know by now, due to Portland’s well-advertised slogan “stay weird,” that any punk band from the indie crochet and vegan stripclub Mecca isn’t going to just be straight up and down punk. In fact, in their debut album Frantic Hearts, experimento-punk group Summer Houses have more in common compositionally and sound-wise with The Doors and Zappa than anything a fan outside of PDX would classify as punk. But is it the band that’s wrong, or the definition? With a mean-spirited electronic organ a main feature of their sound and the dollop of electronica we needed to justify this article on YEDM, Portland native Summer Houses have the built-in chaos, screaming lyrics and psychobilly guitar vibes and utter lack of attention to key that’s typified punk since its inception. Originally an experimental sound before it was co-opted by the more popular likes of The Sex Pistols and The Clash, punk’s definitive sound never really was definitive. In the 70s and early 80s, there was still a lot of overlap with classic rock and punk took a lot of influence from bands like Frank Zappa, Sabbath, Golden Earring and Iron Butterfly. Punk split off into more stylized, almost unrecognizable genres like new wave and goth/emo and made its way into pop culture in the late 80s while other factions took it to weirder, more marginalized areas like psychobilly and whatever it was Fugazi and Bad Brains were doing. In the 90s, grunge emerged and almost over took the whole genre. Thanks to bands like Social Distortion, Black Flag and The Descendents, among other pop punk outfits who shall not be mentioned here, there was always a core of “punk punk” that has come to be the stereotypical sound most music fans associate with punk, but rest assured: nothing about punk was ever meant to be stereotypical. With that somewhat bitter, GenX-tinged history lesson, at the corner of “not stereotypical” and punk culture is where we find Summer Houses. Known for their wild performances playing almost exclusively house parties and recording nothing of their work in the first years of their band-dom, one could be forgiven if one thought the band’s releases thus far is nothing more than improvisational jam sessions committed to record. Scratch beneath the surface a bit, however, and it’s clear that the works put together both for their previous EPs and for Frantic Hearts are well-designed, multi-layered and far more musically complex than your average two-chord punk song. With super-cool album art by Sofia Champan that matches the title and vibe of the album, Frantic Hearts opens with a classic grunge riff, which is a fixture to this album. It’s clear that on top of all their 70s and 80s influences, Summer Houses has a strong connection with the punk of the 90s. Fans of grunge will catch whiffs of early Smashing Pumpkins and Alice in Chains. “Winners Circle,” in fact, seems to be a semi-ironic, sadder (if such a thing is possible) take on Local H’s “Bound to the Floor.” The base guitar is just a jumping off point, however. There’s also a good college radio vein running through the music a’la The Dead Milkmen, The Pixies or King Missile. Seeing as these bands also took their influence largely from Zappa, it stands to reason. This faction mostly shows up in the band’s propensity to move from lighter, sort of nerdy punk to heavy, Sabbath-inspired plummets in tone in tracks like “Television,” “Frantic Start” and “Wartime.” The influences one can hear are endless in this album but the point is how it was all put together. With so many different styles and sounds an instruments put together at once and the meandering, existential vocals paired with the sort of disembodied keyboards make for a chaotic, almost surreal experience. There’s so much to listen to, so many transitions and so much attention to noise and dissonance that it’s not worth it to pick apart all the styles, especially if one is at one of Summer Houses’ raucous shows. That said, it’s important to note that this is definitely not your boiler plate punk, and in fact the tracks on Frantic Minds were likely carefully crafted for the effect they create. These punks have created something that may sound musically frantic but has the heart of something true, full and genuinely artistic. If you don’t think that’s punk, it might be time to update your definition. Frantic Hearts is out now and can be purchased on Bandcamp or streamed on Spotify.

Image via publicist Acclaimed French DJ / producer Fakear is pleased to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘Healing’, out this summer through Nowadays Records and will be accompanied by a series of European tour dates throughout the summer and beyond. No stranger to the scene, Fakear continues his musical evolution with a fine concoction of emotive, quirky, globally tuned electronic music designed for massive crossover appeal. He says “Healing, it speaks for itself. This track feels like therapy, an encouragement to dance and let go. I have never worked as much as for this album and this tour. And it feels amazing to be enjoying the fruits of this labour.” A good craftsman spends his time honing his craft. He refines his technique, year after year. An artist, on the other hand, has to get emotionally involved – and that can sometimes get dizzying. It takes a lot of courage to show your inner thoughts and your flaws. Especially with the previous feeling of exhilaration of a fast rise to musical fame with a sold-out concert at the Olympia in Paris even before having released his first album (later becoming a gold record) and tours all over the world in front of thousands of people, like the Red Rocks festival in the USA. Fakear needed to reinvent himself. To return to the essence of his project, with spontaneity and above all, honesty. Ten years after his first steps in the industry, Fakear now returns to his roots, without looking to the past with nostalgia or contempt; but rather by contemplating his past self with kindness. And this new wave got expressed in one word : Talisman, his last album that came out in February 2023. With the tracks Moonlight Moves, Altar, Voyager and Odyssea (featuring the environmental activist Camille Etienne). Alongside a sold out French and European tour, a show at Le Trianon in Paris also sold out, and soon one in salle Pleyel (in February 2024). “It was a complete rebirth. I had lost this crazy energy I once had doing all this.” But such a comeback doesn’t just completely stop after only one album – even though it was particularly noteworthy to the media and the audience. And neither does the inspiration for Fakear. “There is something magical happening when we get so confident. We allow ourselves to have fun, we think less, we feel the love from the audience. And the most beautiful thing is I believe this totally impacts the creation process.” This is how the new songs were born. Like the following of this rebirth and this new inspiration for Théo. Like an extension of Talisman: a new dimension, a parallel universe. “As I was gradually reconnecting with the outside world, I was realising how essential to me it was, and how much I had missed it. My new songs are full of this feeling. I love making music so that it can be shared, lived, vibed and danced to. Talisman was me returning to my roots. The new songs are a window to the future.” Live: 21/06/2023 – Fête de la musique – Berlin (Allemagne) 24/06/2023 – SOS Méditerrannée – Marseille 02/07/2023 – MTELUS – Montréal (Canada) 06/07/2023 – Musilac – Aix Les Bains 07/07/2023 – Décibules – Neuve L’Eglise 13/07/2023 – Green Festival – Avignon 28/07/2023 – Festival de la Paille – Metabief 10/08/2023 – Numerik Games Festival – Yverdon Les Bains (Suisse) 12/08/2023 – Ecume Festival – St Pierre-De-Quiberon 25/08/2023 – Numerik Games Festival – Yverdon Les Bains (Suisse) 02/09/2023 – Rêves à Son – La Pommeaye 08/09/2023 – Palm Fest – La Palmyre 16/09/2023 – Big Mama Fest, La Felicita – Paris 28/09/2023 – L’autre Canal – Nancy 29/09/2023 – Noumatrouff – Mulhouse 30/09/2023 – La Belle Electrique – Grenoble 06/10/2023 – L’Oasis – Le Mans 07/10/2023 – Le Fil – Saint Etienne 12/10/2023 – Omega – Toulon 13/10/2023 – 6Mic – Aix En Provence 14/10/2023 – Emb – Sannois 15/10/2023 – File 7 – Magny Le Hongre 20/10/2023 – West Rock – Cognac 21/10/2023 – Quai M – Roche Sur Yon 27/10/2023 – La Carène – Brest 02/02/2024 – Salle Pleyel – Paris Follow Fakear: Instagram

In the pulsating heart of the contemporary music scene, it’s a rarity to unearth a sound that is simultaneously euphonic and profoundly resonant – a harmony that sails effortlessly into the emotional depths of its listeners. Breaking free from the ephemeral trends and predictable melodies, the synth-pop album, ‘Love and Oceans,’ by Ámaris Wen is crafting sonorous waves with rhythmic force. The London-based synth-pop maestro, Ámaris Wen, known for her electrifying infusion of genres, unveiled her whimsical, 10-track opus ‘Love and Oceans’ on Friday, June 16, 2023. This album is far more than an auditory delight. It’s a vessel transporting listeners through the turbulence of toxic relationships, mental health struggles, and the powerful swell of women empowerment.”Although my music isn’t always upbeat and light, it soothes listeners with lyrical messages related to embracing new beginnings and opportunities” shares Ámaris. The songs from ‘Love and Oceans’ are therapeutic lullabies for the broken-hearted, offering a comforting reassurance that new beginnings are just around the corner. Two such remarkable compositions, “Subconscious” and “Missing You”, envelope the listener in a dreamscape of moonlit melodies. The birth of “Subconscious” was influenced by Ámaris’s own bouts of insomnia due to a thyroid condition, offering a unique, relatable perspective. “Nostalgia”, a track-etched with synth-pop-inspired retro vibes, immerses listeners into a poignant narrative about clinging to relationships that are far from beneficial. Another song, “Oyster Bed” uplifts with a message to dream big and untether oneself from constraints. The song “Visionary” courageously delves into the process of shedding toxic relationships, fostering a sense of empowerment. To complement the album’s narrative, Ámaris weaves a tapestry of dreamy AI- generated imagery, amplifying the emotional resonance of each track. Her keen eye for the visual adds another dimension to the vibe of ‘Love and Oceans.’ The musical journey of Ámaris Wen is as diverse and captivating as her music itself. Born in Central Switzerland to a musical family, she developed an intimate connection with music from an early age. Her multicultural upbringing, with ties to the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and England, fostered her multilingual prowess in English, German, and Dutch. Her formative years witnessed a series of moves and creative evolution. After her parents’ divorce, she moved to Zurich and honed her skills at the local drama school and the Stage & Musical School in Frankfurt, Germany, where she delved into electronic music to accompany her dance studies. It was here that she birthed her 2014 dance floor project, “Geiko – female electronic dance music.” As Ámaris’s career evolved, she stepped into the role of playlist manager for major record labels and subsequently relocated to London. There, her sound evolved towards a synth-pop and R&B blend, marked by the well-received ‘Neon Colours.’ This was followed by the ocean-inspired ‘Aquamarine’ and the introspective ‘26.’ Today, Ámaris stands proudly on the shores of her latest release, ‘Love and Oceans.’ ‘Love and Oceans’ is more than just an album – it’s a beacon of resilience and empowerment, illuminating the path toward emotional liberation. It’s a testament to the magic that unfolds when talent, passion, and life experiences converge in harmonious synchrony. At its core, ‘Love and Oceans’ is a celebration of Ámaris Wen’s resilient spirit and an invitation to journey with her into the depths of an emotional odyssey. It stands as a testament to her ability to take personal experiences and translate them into an immersive auditory experience. This article was first published on Your EDM.

We all can remember many sleepless nights during the long lockdown that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, many of us still have residual insomnia at the very least. The worries, fears and tragedies humanity went through in those two years sometimes feel like a distant memory but we’re all still dealing with that collective trauma, and there’s still loads of important art inspired by that time being released now. Never Sleep, Paul Feder’s follow-up to his first seminal EP Nightwalk is one such work from the COVID and continued post-COVID era that’s both relatable and soothing to those of us still struggling. Feder’s work has always seemed to have a heavy personal and contemplative bent, even when he’s remixing someone else’s track (a’la his emotional rework of “Mental Abrasions” by Jane in Space or the vocal-turned-future bass version of Holly Abraham’s single “Shore”). Heavily influenced by early synth pop and electronica, Nightwalk was a dreamy as its eponym suggests but it’s all done with the help of vintage styles and techniques. For Never Sleep, the vintage cachet was even more real when Feder discovered his 90s era Yamaha keyboard in his parents’ attic. In early 2021 I unearthed my 90’s Yamaha CS2X keyboard from my parents’ attic and began to play, channeling pandemic anxiety into what would become the title track of the EP. Never Sleep is dedicated to my father, Jack Feder, who kept encouraging me to “finish the songs!” So for Feder, Never Sleep becomes not just an anxiety-fueled COVID project but literally the product of a mandate from his dad, who seemed to be one of this biggest fans. The tie-ins with the tracks also now become even more resonant for both Feder and those in the audience going through grief. The EP opener and title track starts with an emotional swell before launching into a dream pop-forward house beat as the lyrics are both dadaist and dreamy. Feder reveals himself as a storyteller in this track lyrically, as he describes his own sleepless nights in detail so great, one can almost picture the scene. Feder also showcases his style diversity here as he switched seamlessly from EDM to future bass in a way that will remind dream pop fans of M83 or Sigur Ross. The second track on the EP, “Home” is both simple and existential, as Feder tackles the concept of home and how, as we age, that comfort and feeling man had growing up seems to fade and it’s almost a loss of identity in the process. Losing a parent definitely amplifies this feeling, so knowing Feder’s impetus for these lyrics drives the point even further “home.” Using a lot of vaporwave tones and a wistful string accompaniment adds to the mood as Feder keeps the music relatively simple: the feeling of “home,” after all, is simple. “Wonderful Day” is lyrically perhaps the track that most directly addresses Feder’s father’s passing, but again it’s treated with reference and reflection rather than anger or anguish. The repeated vocoder lines “this is the end of the line…I hope you have a wonderful day,” and “don’t leave anything behind” reflect a hope many of us have for our loved ones when they pass: while death is inevitable, we hope they pass with peace, nothing left unsaid and that their next step is a nice one. For so many people who lost family and friends during COVID, this closing track can hopefully provide some comfort and the chugging beat and synths a reminder that this is all part of a bigger journey. Paul Feder addresses and also puts to rest some big existential questions in the three tracks of Never Sleep. Both recovering from collective trauma and grieving are, indeed, an ongoing process but Feder’s dreamy, vintage synth style is a soothing reprieve from the cares of the last few years, whether personal or collective. Whether Feder “never sleeps” again, he did, in fact, “finish the songs.” Never Sleep is out now and can be streamed on Feder’s Spotify Page. This article was first published on Your EDM.

His original single with Michael Calfan ft. NISHA, “Feelings After Dark,” released on Musical Freedom in 2021, receiving heavy support from Tiësto. In 2022, HARBER released “Body Like” with 2x GRAMMY-nominee Morgan Page feat. sid tipton on Armada Music and “Nothing” on Spinnin’ Records alongside Disco Fries and GRAMMY-nominated Luxtides. With remixes for the GRAMMY-nominated “Hero” by Afrojack & David Guetta, NERVO, Dan + Shay, Sultan + Shepard x Rock Mafia x Bahari, and more, He recently announced his signing to the prestigious imprint Lowly and now he’s ready to unveil his debut single with the label, a dance pop anthem titled “Medicine ft. Sydtherockerkid”. The emotionally-charged topline, soaring melodies, and catchy lyrics are a testament to Sydtherockerkid’s talent while HARBER effortlessly supplies blissful and uplifting progressions that seem to strike perfection. “This song kicks off a new era of HARBER. I really wanted to lean into the euphoric feeling I felt when I first started listening to dance music. The type of song that makes you wanna throw your hands in the air and sing. I had a chance to test the record out live at my last show, and the crowd reaction was even better than we could have expected!” – HARBER We had the pleasure to catch up with HARBER and chat about what’s going on right now, enjoy the interview below! How long have you been DJing and producing? If you weren’t a DJ/producer, what career path would you have chosen instead? I think I’d for sure work in film, specifically on the production side. I’m a big movie buff… I’ve seen all the rom-coms. Your new single “Medicine” just released on June 30. What can you share with us about the story behind “Medicine” and how would you describe the song? I’d describe “Medicine” as a melody driven feel good piano house record with some tropical elements sprinkled throughout. I had been working on a bunch of new productions and really vibing with piano house, messing around with some solid piano driven instrumentals. From there, we were looking for the right topline to fit on this one because we knew it was special. After a while of seeing what might be the best fit, I linked with Syd and the “Medicine” topline really was the perfect fit. After months of perfecting it, I couldn’t be happier with the end result. You’re making your Lowly debut with “Medicine.” How do you feel about joining the Lowly family and their reputable roster of artists? It feels absolutely incredible to be a part of a label with artists like NGHTMRE, Bonnie X Clyde, Said The Sky, William Black, and others that I’ve looked up to, and to have a team that really believes in the music I’m making right now. Having played at some of the biggest venues and festivals in North America, you have tons of DJ experience. What are some tips or words of wisdom you can share with those just trying to break into the scene or start out as a DJ/producer? I’d say my biggest piece of advice is don’t be afraid to hear “no.” The music industry is such a tough place and you’re gonna hear so many no’s before you even get one yes – that’s just how it goes. You’ve gotta stay in there and keep believing in yourself because as tough an industry as it is there’s really nothing better. Who are three of your top dream EDM collaborators? Top three non-EDM collaborators? Oh man, there’s so many people I’d love to collaborate with. Top 3 EDM would have to be Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and Tiësto. Top 3 non-EDM artists would be Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, and I’m not sure how we’d make this work, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You play gigs all across the country, which gigs have stood out to you most recently? A few weekends ago I played a 5 and a half hour b2b set with my friend Deleasa at a new club in the city called The Stranger and that was wild. There were insane circus acts performing around us all night. If you had to include one song in every set for the rest of your career, what would it be and why? Which song would you be happy to never play again? Besides my own music, I would happily play “Levels” by Avicii all day long. As for a song that never needs to be played by me again…probably “Like A G6.” What does the rest of the year have in store for HARBER? Get ready for lots of new music and lots of shows.

Showtek are back with a sensational new dance floor anthem, “Feeling.” An incredible fusion of old school piano house with modern synths and drop. “Feeling” is an instant classic in Showtek’s discography. The drop is just as memorable as “We Like to Party” or “Booyah” and it also has a more modern aesthetic. “Feeling” also tracks with Showtek’s history of vibrant and uplifting vocals. Above all else, it’s just great to hear Showtek going back to their melodic roots. The track opens up with the emotive house vocal, the piano eventually comes in to perfectly accentuate the vocal. Finally, the payoff comes and we get the big synths leading into a huge buildup. The synths become the drop and the whole song comes together on the first drop. Featuring vocals from longtime Showtek collaborator Sonny Wilson, “Feeling” is sure to go down as a staple in any Showtek set.

Fresh off the heels of his latest studio album Drive, Tiësto is back with another new single, “Drifting.” While it’s not a full-on return to trance, this breakbeats inspired track should have fans raving as Tiësto definitely explores a more old school sound. The Dutch superstar first dropped the track back at Ultra Miami, and it has since become a staple in his sets. The track opens with a drone like synth that rises in and out laid over the surprisingly affecting vocal. The drone synth serves as the basis for the drop as the aforementioned breakbeats perfectly blend together. If you’ve experienced this one live before, like I did at EDC Las Vegas, you know this one hits. In fact, the official video heavily features footage from Tiësto’s recent EDC performance. Check out the latest from Tiësto, “Drifting”, out now on Musical Freedom. Tiësto will have upcoming summer residencies at Ushuaïa Ibiza and at Zouk and Ayu at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

RAM and Levela resurrect the classic track from the 60s to prove cool never goes out of style. The 1966 song “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) written by Sonny Bono and sung by Cher, then covered by Nancy Sinatra (also in ’66), is so well-recognized in modern music lore that it’s safe to say it’s an institution. Aside from the most recognizable version by Sinatra, the song has been covered or remixed by so many musicians over the years that they’re impossible to list and take up a full five pages on WhoSampled.com. Among the most notable are Cher herself (with Jon Bon Jovi and Michael Bolton in 1987), Lady Gaga, The Raconteurs, Vanilla Fudge and Nancy’s only slightly more famous husband, Frank Sinatra. Now Levela and vocalist LeMeduza have joined the illustrious ranks of those who have remade this legendary track, and the long-overdue D&B version of “Bang Bang” is set to drop this Friday, June 28th. The drum & bass rework of “Bang Bang,” as one would expect, is easily the most different in both style and substance from the original as it can get. With the Sonny and Cher version being largely folk-based and the Nancy Sinatra version being what we’d now call junkyard country, there’s not much in D&B that would match either of those genres. That said, Levela has taken a significant sample from Bono’s original and woven it through the track. It’s the haunting guitar riff created nearly 60 years ago that has made this track such an institution and the way Levela uses it not just as a sample but as a guide for the key and ambient tone of the track makes it just as visceral and ominous as the original. Amidst all the amens, switchbacks and heavy, sine wavey sub bass synths, the vibe of the original song isn’t lost and it’s almost got a post punk flavor to it. Speaking of being true to the original, LaMeduza’s vocals are what really tie this track together and capture the mood of this legendary song so well. Not only does she manage to capture the tone and timbre of Nancy Sinatra’s popular version, she may have actually surpassed it. We’re not just talking about quality of equipment or production here, either: LaMeduza’s vocal skill and attention to the drama of the track has an authenticity that really is unmatched. Levela must have known it was special as well, as he gives ample space in the track for the full vocals, doing very few cuts or fragment mixing of the vox unless it was to echo it through the vox-less parts. The partnership between Levela and LaMeduza on “Bang Bang” makes for a superb collab on top of a surprisingly danceable resurrection of this more than half century-old tune. It’s likely neither Sonny and Cher nor Nancy Sinatra (nor really anyone, for that matter) could have ever pictured ravers doing finger guns to this particular “banger,” but now that you think about it, it’s actually perfect for a D&B tune. It just needed a master producer like Levela and a pitch-perfect vocalist like LaMeduza to do it justice. Cool is cool no matter that the time period of age, and “Bang Bang 2023” proves it. “Bang Bang” 2023 drops Friday, June 30 on RAM Recordings. Click here to pre-order or pre-save.

It’s been five years since NGHTMRE and Big Gigantic first teamed up on “Like That.” Following a bevy of performances as Gigantic NGHTMRE, they are finally back with a new single, the aptly titled “Back for More” and we couldn’t be more excited. “Back for More” is a perfect blend of the two artists’ styles. We’ve got some old-school style UK dubstep combined with the high vocal pitches that NGHTMRE features and, of course, that unmistakable sax and live instrumentation of Big G. “Back for More” is only the start, too. Gigantic NGHTMRE will be releasing an EP later this year, so expect more new music soon. On top of that, they’ll be playing their first headline show of the year at the Brooklyn Mirage on July 30. In fact, we can expect more Gigantic NGHTMRE performances in the future. They’ll also be performing at Shambhala Festival in Canada next month as well. “I remember discovering Big Gigantic’s music while wandering around as a fan at Camp Bisco in 2012! I got the chance to collaborate with them in 2018 and it was a no brainer! Once we dropped ‘like that’ we got the opportunity to play some of the biggest festivals around the US and they’ve been some of the best memories I’ve had so far in music. We finally found time to write music together this year and we are so so proud of how this music is sounding. So stoked to share it with the world!!” – NGHTMRE “Tyler and I got this idea for a song after one of our shows that has sax and bass on the drop and we added this sick vocal to it. It’s a song that really blends our two styles together and I really love the way it turned out.” – Big Gigantic Check out the latest single from Gigantic NGHTMRE and Olivia Sebastianelli, “Back for More” out now on Gud Vibrations.

AC Slater is back with his third studio album, Together. As you might have gathered from the title, Together is a celebration of community and uplifting the people around you. As you might expect from an AC Slater album, Together is compiled entirely of collabs, including ones with previous collaborators Chris Lorenzo, Kaleena Zanders, Murkage Dave and many others from the Night Bass roster. The album also showcases AC Slater’s versatile productions. There’s a couple of absolute heaters like the album opener, “Until the Morning” and the Chris Lorenzo collab, “I Believe.” There’s a couple of after-hours tracks like “Night Rider” and “Lose My Mind.” And there’s also some uplifting, euphoric house tracks like “Can U Handle It”, “Blue June” and “Screenshots.” The Night Bass head honcho had this to say about Together. “The idea of ‘Together’ is nothing new to me. Strength in numbers has always been important in my life. Anyone who knows me knows my motto: ‘I just want to do cool sh*t with cool people.’ The feeling of sharing a journey together with people you love is unlike anything else. Building something TOGETHER. I have always been an extremely shy person from a very young age, and even up to now. It was something that stood in my way, but I am able to overcome it with the feeling of love and support from the people around me. I don’t do any of this by myself. I have a small circle of close friends around me who support me, and I support them. I love to give back to the next generation of DJs. Someone paved the way for us, and we’re paving the way for someone else. I think it’s important to teach them to support the ones after them. Being a musical artist isn’t about me, it’s about building a musical family and making everyone around us know that they are a part of something together.” AC Slater will also be hitting the road next month in support of the album. He’s sure to be bringing a few friends along. Listen to AC Slater’s latest album, Together out now on Night Bass. Click here for show & ticket info. Tour dates below.

MAKJ has just made his debut on Tchami’s Confession label with his latest single “Burning Rave”, and it’s an absolute banger. “Burning Rave” sees MAKJ takes his production into a much more vibey house territory, and we’re all for it. The California producer has come a long way since the days of “Party Till We Die” and “Let’s Get F*cked Up”, (all-time classics, by the way). “Burning Rave” opens up with a tropical drum beat accompanied by a rumbling bassline. It features a wonderful blend of tech house elements, some old school acid sounds, and pretty much a full-on techno drop. It’s completely unexpected from MAKJ, but there’s still something unique about the track that shines through in all of his productions. “I’m excited to begin my journey with Confession as I move into a new dynamic club sound, while keeping the notable MAKJ flare alive.” – MAKJ This article was first published on Your EDM.

Vulture Theory, is an underground house artist who has made a distinct mark within the scene, logging performances at Catch One, Madame Siam, and Canary and signing tracks to G Mafia, Story Time and speed house movement. Graduating from Icon Collective, he has mastered the art of blending tech house and experimental elements, creating a unique sonic experience that transports listeners to a realm of hypnotic rhythms. Now, he’s teamed up two additional rising yet distinguished artists HAWD HITTA and NoBueno for their electrifying single “Synthetic Sands”. It’s impossible not to feel the energy coursing through your veins the instant you press play, as these three artists flex their talent in the studio through rumbling bass grooves, fiery synth work, and even a whopping half time flip at the end. We had the privilege to chat with them about this single along with what’s ahead for this year. Enjoy the interview below! Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your collaboration on “Synthetic Sands”? HAWD HITTA: It all started when Vulture Theory kicked it over to myself and opened it up to creativity. From there I found myself in NoBueno’s studio and then built it out to bring about a transitional half-time section to the second build up and second drop. It worked out really well and I’m grateful to have been part of this track with this group.” How did the three of you come together to create this track? Vulture Theory: We’ve had a few studio sessions before where we had collaborated on stuff that just hasn’t come out of the vault of music that we have. But this one definitely had potential early on. We appreciate all the hard work involved from everyone in the process.” What unique elements did each artist bring to the table during the production process? NoBueno: “It was Vulture Theory that had the original synths and bassline down. HAWD HITTA had come up with some of the arrangement and a few other sound design elements that are noticeable in the second drop. I myself came up with the half-time that works and feels great in this type of energetic record.” “Synthetic Sands” is described as a mainstage house banger. What makes it stand out from other tracks in the genre? HAWD HITTA: “I feel that it’s memorable and unique like that of a Knock2 – dashstar type of cutting edge sound design, or just any festival track that has a build up and drop in SYNTHETIC SANDS (in reference to the 2nd half).” How do you envision this song being received by festival audiences? Vulture Theory: “I think that it’s got great potential in mashup’s or even any late set, where you can stand on the stage and get the crowd excited. It’s got a lot of energy sitting at such a high BPM. We expect our audience to really enjoy it at ACADEMY when HAWD HITTA performs.” Can you share any behind-the-scenes stories or memorable moments while working on “Synthetic Sands”? HAWD HITTA: “I remember being on FT with Vulture Theory when we first got the project and we went ahead that same day moments later into NoBueno’s studio. It was a great day and I felt like there is a lot to be said about this collab.” This article was first published on Your EDM.
