Mize, a semi-popular dubstep DJ/producer, is currently being read his rights by past contemporaries and fans after @emdelhoops on Twitter came out with accusations of sexual assault against him. Her caption and statement alleges that Mize initiated a cease and desist against her prior to her revealing her story. “Towards the end of the night everyone was going to bed and I was falling asleep alone on the couch. Ian [Mize] had gone upstairs but came back down to invite me upstairs with him and his friend. […] I decided to pass out in the bed with them platonic and as friends just to cuddle. I had also seen him earlier in the night with another woman so I never thought he had any intentions other than to hang out. She continued, “But once I started falling asleep Ian kept moving my hand to touch his dick and I would move it away and this kept happening. The next day I confronted him via text about what the fuck was going on that night and he just played it off and said he was confused.” @emdelhoops was inspired to come out with her encounter after she received a cease and desist to “quiet anything I had to say before I had a chance to speak on my experience.” I’m absolutely over it and a C&D will not keep me quiet. pic.twitter.com/YsH9qa0Ufm — baja baby (@emdelhoops) October 18, 2022 Within an hour of the story coming out, GRiZ removed Mize from the lineup of Another World, saying, “Won’t tolerate sexual abuse allegations. Blindsided by the news. My heart goes out to the victims, who never deserved to be treated that way.” Additionally, within the same time frame, Space Wizard initiated the removal of his collaborations with Mize with any remaining royalties being donated to Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). Took mize off of another world. Won’t tolerate sexual abuse allegations. Blindsided by the news. My heart goes out to the victims, who never deserved to be treated that way. — GRiZ (@Griz) October 18, 2022 my two collaborations with mize have been removed any remaining royalties will be donated to rainn i do not stand for sexual assault — space wizard – tickets for tour on sale now (@space__wizard) October 18, 2022 Peekaboo and Mersiv shared their own thoughts about the situation early this morning, as well. very disgusted right now from this news right now. it's extremely gross and horrific to see this come to light. — PEEKABOO (@peekaboobeats) October 18, 2022 There’s no excuse for sexual assault. I’m blown away bc I toured with this dude and didn’t see it coming. It’s not fucking hard to not be a creep and be respectful!! That behavior is disgusting.. To those affected by Mize’s actions I see you and I hear you — Mersiv (@mersivsound) October 18, 2022 In addition to the recount from @emdelhoops, a Reddit post from August 2021 is reappearing, telling of a similar situation in which Mize allegedly became near- or blackout drunk and assaulted a woman he was in the process of sexually assaulting, giving her a black eye before passing out himself.

Born in the Southwestern countryside of the United Kingdom, Tutara Peak is the creative genesis of producer and songwriter, Harvey Carter. Teasing the birth of the project in early 2020 with mission-driven single “Daydream”, the single was released in support of the UN Refugee Agency, and has since garnered upwards of 1,000,000 streams on Spotify alone. The official launch of Tutara Peak arrived in 2021 by way of “Raining Teeth” with Little Snake via Flying Lotus’ lauded record label Brainfeeder. That same year, Tutara Peak unveiled his debut EP Tansuri featuring Lou Rhodes of Lamb and frequent collaborator Zes. The blossoming artist closed out the breakthrough year by debuting his immersive live set across two sold-out shows in London as direct support for Zola Blood and Hybrid. Musical brainchild of Canadian based Scotsman Jason Taylor, the Aether project swiftly saw the talented producer signed to major electronic labels in the space such as Monstercat. As Aether furthers his musical endeavors through diversifying his catalogue. Both Tutara Peak and Aether’s have carved out their own signature sounds, exemplifying to the world both artists’ production proficiencies. This makes it all the more exciting that the two have come together for a lush, calming single “Yukijo” that is utterly beautiful from start to finish.

There are few plays quite as iconic as The Phantom of the Opera. It began its run on Broadway back in 1986, earning acclaim not only for the play, but also the music, composed from the brilliant mind of Andrew Lloyd Webber (Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats). It was clear to see that the show was so ahead of its time from the outset – a true pioneer of immersive theatre – with a continuing spirit of reinvention. In this spirit, a plethora of producers were called upon to offer remixes to this legendary play. These remixes are a natural next step in that tradition, maintaining the title track’s classic and memorable essence while also finding new ways to give it fresh life. There’s plenty to choose from here spanning plenty of genres of electronic music, but some standouts for us include ABOUT THAT‘s dub, seamlessly blending house elements with opera with a result that feels so natural. ABOUT THAT’s remix was actually revealed by Andrew Lloyd Webber at a block party outside the Majestic Theatre in NYC to celebrate the reopening of Phantom on Broadway last year (after the Covid-related closure). Japanese producer 2118 and legendary Spanish DJ Supermini collaborated on one version which features vocals from current West End (London) leads Killian Donnelly and Lucy St.Louis, that feels like a peak time anthem.

A staple of his fever pitch live sets, “Work My Body” is the latest and greatest from Baltimore’s DJ Allure, and in our opinion one of his dopest yet. Allure says the record is already frequently sought after by his rapidly rising and highly engaged fan base: “Work My Body is one of the most requested songs I have. It literally gets requested every set I play. I’m super excited to finally share this officially with the world. I know that Work My Body will be a staple for years to come.” The record’s undeniably groovy baseline will keep party goers in the DMV and beyond moving their feet. Props to DJ Allure for continuing to turn out consistent quality every few weeks. It doesn’t seem like he’s choosing quality over quantity but more so like he’s one of the lucky few capable of doing both. “Work My Body” marks the Maryland-based DJ’s first drop on up and coming independent label Swaggertown Records. The winning formula for artists today is not a one size fits all metric. However, some of the same qualities tend to pop up across the board: work ethic, consistency, and strategy. DJ Allure has all of the above. Salute the DJ and bump “Work My Body” wherever you stream and download today. Be sure to follow DJ Allure on Instagram too!

It really feels like Marshmello has exited the general EDM zeitgeist as of this year, despite releasing half a dozen new songs. Much of that is due to the fact that he seems to be focusing more heavily on hip hop collaborations lately, teaming up with Khalid, Tokischa, Rico Nasty, and Trippie Redd. His latest collaboration, out today, sees him teaming up with Juice WRLD for “Bye Bye,” another generally uninteresting release with autotuned vocals and an incredibly simple beat that is less than two minutes long. Going this route, it’s hard to tell what Marshmello’s endgame is here. We haven’t been seeing his name on a lot of festival lineups, either. He released one song this year in his usual style, “Before U,” but that was all the way back in March, his first release of the year. We’ll have to see what he has in store for 2023 but the Marshmello some younger fans grew up with might not be the one we know moving forward. Listen to “Bye Bye” with Juice WRLD below.

It’s no secret that Aussie based emo-tronic artist Rich Delinquent is one of today’s most exciting artists. He does it all, from penning the songs, to singing the vocals, and producing the tracks. His vision for his music is unparalleled which is why whenever we find out there’s a new song in the pipeline, we’re on the edge of our seat, eager to see what he’s up to. This time around, he’s collaborating with widely celebrated singer,songwriter, and producer Bobby Raps (whose credits include The Weeknd, Kid Laroi, Gunna, and plenty more), taking listeners on a emotionally thrilling ride for the song that is “1800ifuckedup”. Rich explains that this song is “about being lost in a city of vices and trying to reach out to the one person who can pull you out of the darkness.” The production matches this aura, offering a sort of cyberpunk/Bladerunner auditory landscape, as synths sway back and forth, resembling that feeling that Rich sings of “feeling lost in the Ozone”, as Rich & Bobby Raps each offer compelling vocals over top.

Yesterday, rumors going around on Twitter centered around a video taken out of context led to many fans asking if RÜFÜS DU SOL was breaking up or not. At one point during their show at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, Tyrone Lindqvist said, “Tonight is very special because it marks the end of the chapter for us as a unit. I just feel really blessed we get to share tonight with you guys.” A video of the moment was uploaded to social media, but was part of a larger speech to the crowd that didn’t make the cut. The most likely explanation of the quote in question is that the group members are no longer all living in Los Angeles at the same time. But more to the point, RÜFÜS shared some photos later last night of the show on Instagram and wrote in the caption: “P.S we’re just getting started.” Clearly, they saw the hubbub and questions on social media and wanted to set the record straight.

Kaskade and deadmau5 continue their sonic exploration as Kx5 with their latest single, “Alive,” featuring The Moth & The Flame. As the duo have released singles, “Escape” to “Take Me High” to “Alive,” they’ve demonstrated a core musical signature while providing context and experimentation within it, owing to their decades of combined artistry and mastery in the genre.

A lot of drum & bass fans can remember back in late 2017 when Jonathon Signal made the not-so-subtle switch from that moniker to IMANU and the shock waves it caused, not becuase of the name change but because of the announcement that he would no longer be focusing solely on D&B. It’s becoming less and less rare nowadays for artists to straddle genres or make a cheeky switch from D&B to halftime or dubstep or even to dabble in straight beats like techno, but back then it was nearly unheard of. We also didn’t quite know yet what this switch would mean for an artist who, at the time, seemed to be a dyed-in-the-wool D&B artist. Five years and a huge number of very varied releases later, we now know that Jonathan as IMANU never planned to completely abandon D&B but he certainly wanted to branch out, trying his hand at everything from trap to bass house to R&B. Not just trying, really, but succeeding and building a bass music brand that really defies genre. IMANU is now bigger than the sum of its works, but with the release of his epic album Unfold, out a few weeks ago on September 16 on Deadbeats, this sonic victory lap still has the artist himself wondering where he’s landed. Having been teased for six months since its first single, the decidedly Hudson Mohawke-meets-Arca via FKA Twigs-esque R&B track “It’s Our Destiny” featuring Kučka, Unfold’s release proves that IMANU has managed to hoist himself out of the one-trickiness of the D&B scene and make a comprehensive, multi-genre career that’s more about his own style than placating any one genre. For the most part, he’s also managed to take said D&B scene along for the ride, largely with the help of other pigeonhole-hating labels like Noisia’s Vision Recordings. Anyone who didn’t come along for said ride is foolish, to be honest. IMANU’s bold, emotive work is too good to be bitter about, or so one would think. YEDM caught up with IMANU to chat about the album and where he thinks his work may go in the future. We found that even after all this time and literally rearranging the face of D&B as he has, IMANU can still run into people who just want the same old two-step beat and for him to fall in line behind it. It doesn’t sound like he’s planning to go back any time soon, however, and if Unfold is any indication, IMANU will keep marching to the glitchy, innovative beat of his own genre-stradling drum. Thank goodness for that. Unfold seems to be a sort of journey album, and from the looks of it, it’s still unfolding for you. Why did you think now was a good time to release an LP and what do you feel it says about your journey in music and life over the last few years? I felt like I was riding a wave of momentum and needed to take advantage of it. Ever since my last EP as Signal I’ve been hinting at making other things, and finally took the leap into a bigger project where I showcase that. I hope that people can stop looking at me as a D&B artist and just see me as an artist. There are a lot of collabs and featuring artists on Unfold that run the gamut of styles from What So Not to The Caracal Project. We won’t ask you to choose your favourite on the album but what were a couple of notable experiences in working with all these artists that made the track or experience special for you? To be completely honest, nothing really crazy happened during the creation of the album. Almost everything was done online during the pandemic so there wasn’t really much room for anything weird to happen. Some tracks, like for example the What So Not and DROELOE collabs, have been in the works a lot longer than everything else on the album, whereas Tudor quickly recorded some lines for “Haunt My Mind” so I could hand it in a few hours before deadline. Unfold seems to be a great compendium of all the different styles you’ve been playing with since you started releasing under IMANU. Did you choose Deadbeats because they were the most open to all these styles and genres? It was mainly for the Lambo they promised me! How has it been for you releasing pretty much what you want in the last few years and not being confined by one specific genre? Do you feel like your previous Signal fans have embraced the change? It’s been scary. Whilst I’m very grateful for the support I get online, I’m still quite anxious when it comes to playing multiple genres in my sets, as I still get booked for a lot of D&B shows and then don’t really know what I can get away with. Some crowds can be very tough. Slowly and surely getting there though! There are a lot of nods to R&B and reggaeton on these tracks, as well as a lot of funk. What about these genres inspired you for this album? Rhythm. Coming from a Surinamese/Dutch background and living in one of the most culturally diverse cities in Europe, I’ve always been exposed to lots of different genres, some of which are yet to be pushed to their limits. I’m used to hearing lots of Latin music at family gatherings, radio, on the streets and the odd time I go to a “regular” club. I figured I might as well have a crack at it. There’s a unique vibe to the sound design and vibe of this album. What sorts of programs did you use to get these sounds? Did they come out sounding like what you wanted in your head? Like everyone else, I use boring Serum and Splice, in FL Studio, with a touch of piano. Nothing ever sounds like what I want, which I think goes for most producers, but we have to deal with what we can get. The album and single art for Unfold seems to really match the sounds on the album, with sort of sea-monster-in-a-nebula vibes. Who was the artist and how involved were you in the visual concept? All the artwork was made by Tom Jager, who has also worked on my artworks for my VISION EPs. I gave him quite a lot of freedom, only requesting a certain theme (flowers), and colors (red, black, beige). Almost everything else came from his genius mind. What’s one funny or weird thing that happened while making this album that you can share? Nothing really in particular, but I guess it’s pretty funny that I made most of the music whilst calling and streaming with friends and patrons on Discord. You played a lot of shows during the summer, all while presumably working on the album. Are you planning to finally take a break over the fall/winter season or is more touring/releasing forthcoming? Unfortunately I need to make money to feed my addictions (food and fashion) so there’s no break in sight as it stands! Unfold is out now on Deadbeats and can be streamed or purchased on multiple platforms by clicking here. We recommend running it through at least once on YouTube, as each track has its own gorgeous visualizer. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Last night in Los Angeles, RÜFÜS DU SOL lit up the Hollywood Bowl for 17,000 fans during a stop on their Surrender tour in support of their most recent album. At one point during the show, the group took a moment to address the crowd. Tyrone Lindqvist said, “Tonight is very special because it marks the end of the chapter for us as a unit. I just feel really blessed we get to share tonight with you guys.” Rumors have sparked that the trio is breaking up after they finish their current tour, which extends through December and includes two dates at Red Rocks and eight shows in Australia. Which, on that note, it feels weird that they would break up now, rather than at the end of the tour. After all, Lindqvist does say “tonight is very special[…]” The moment @RufusDuSol announced they will be parting ways after this tour #RUFUSDUSOL pic.twitter.com/ELnPdRSu5L — Kevin Suarez (@KSUAREZ_4) October 10, 2022 What seems more likely, or perhaps this is wishful thinking, is the “end of the chapter” that he speaks of is the moment where they get to play such an iconic venue, which he mentions just a few moments later. “This is an iconic venue, and I feel really privileged to be able to play here.” In fact, the video above appears taken out of context, as many in the replies mention that they weren’t done making music at all, they were just finished living in Los Angeles together. Lindqvist is apparently moving to San Diego with his wife and child, who just turned 3 a few months ago, and Jon and James are moving to Miami. Nah that’s outta context. Right before that he was talking about him moving to San Diego and Jon and James moving to Miami. It’s the end of a chapter of them as a unit being based out of LA. They’ll make another album and tour again in a couple years. — Robbie Downing Sr. (@robbiedowningsr) October 10, 2022 The trio has yet to acknowledge these rumors, but they’ll surely clear up any misunderstandings at that time. Until then, you can continue to see them on tour where dates haven’t yet sold out. See shows here. Photo via Rukes.com This article was first published on Your EDM.
