God bless you,” he said, politely. “Of course I know you. You’re THE rapper. Let’s rap together. I’ll message you,” suggested Warwick, who wasn’t done having fun on Twitter just yet.

Phiso’s “Dot Code” is Pure Chaos
The not-so-unsung hero of dubstep, Phiso has the attention of just about every major producer and bass-head in the world (and comedian Gilbert Gottfried). With his Never Say Die: Black Label release, “Close Combat,” and a rip-roaring remix of PhaseOne and Subtronics‘ “Demon Hunter,” Phiso has been on quite a tear recently. Now, the young producer has set the bar even higher with his latest release, “Dot Code.” The new single is both a tribute to classic gaming and a heavy-as-hell dubstep anthem. Phiso, as expected, holds nothing back in terms of sound design and raw, gritty percussive elements. The eeriness of the breakdown reflects the theme of the monumental advancements in modern technology, while closely examining the necessity of it ...
This New App Could Prove to be a Global Solution for Clubbing Safely in 2021
There’s a new app that could potentially pave the way to partying safely in the pandemic era. Announced at the annual International Nightlife Congress meeting in Valencia, Spain, Liberty Pass validates whether a user has produced a negative COVID-19 test within a 72-hour period, allowing the user to access bars and clubs accordingly.

Saint Punk Flips Ookay and Cesqeaux’s “The Pit” Into a Grunge House Banger
Grunge house innovator Saint Punk has been steadily cultivating his craft as of late. With releases such as “Light ‘Em Up” and his Brohug collaboration “Brake,” the rock band frontman-turned producer has made waves among the bass house community. Now, he has made his debut on Ookay‘s The Woodwerk imprint with a fresh take on the label boss’ collaboration with Cesqeaux, “The Pit.” Who says you can’t mosh to house music?

Grinding bass, trap horns, and a screeching, sliding synth lead complete the package to make Saint Punk’s remix of “The Pit” a bona fide dancefloor weapon. The remix is the...
Liam Gallagher Performs “All You’re Dreaming Of” from Atop a Floating Barge on Fallon: Watch
On Saturday night, Liam Gallagher will present a special concert livestream called “Down by the River Thames”.

Oasis have no doubt played in various venues and arenas all over the world, but I doubt Gallagher ever saw himself rocking out on such a contraption, socially distanced, and amidst a pandemic. All weird circumstances aside, the...
