Guns N’ Roses Unveil “Not in This Lifetime” Pinball Machines
The post-pandemic arcade might not be the same crowded sweatbox we remember, but there will soon be at least one bright new toy for the ardent pinball fanatic. Make space in your rec room, ’cause Guns N’ Roses have announced “Not in This Lifetime” Pinball, a collaboration with Jersey Jack Pinball. The machine, available in three editions, is named after the band’s long-running reunion tour, and it’s a sight to behold. Guns N’ Roses’ iconography makes for excellent pinball graphics, with skeleton versions of the band adorning the colorful machine. GN’R guitarist Slash is an avid pinball collector and longtime player, so the collaboration with Jersey Jack, a leader in U.S. pinball manufacturing, makes sense. In fact, it’s a wonder it took so long, with other notable heavy bands like Metallic...

Warner Bros. Pushes Back The Batman to 2022
As the pandemic continues to cripple the film industry, Warner Bros. has once again been forced to reconfigure its upcoming release state. Notably, The Batman has been pushed all the way to 2022.

Subtronics Announces New “String Theory” EP and Release Date
After teasing that something new was on the way, Subtronics has finally pulled back the curtain on his next EP, String Theory. Not only did he announce the follow-up to Scream Saver, but he also blew fans’ minds with the fact that it’s dropping this week. On Twitter, he shared the EP’s title, release date, length, and artwork from Aaron Brooks. Shortly after the initial announcement, Wooli shared that one of the seven tracks would be a collaboration between the two titled, “Melt Ur Brain.” Some may remember that earlier in the month, Wooli teased a joint track with Subtronics at a drive-in show in Scranton, PA. At the time of writing, the identities of the remaining six songs are still unknown, although some fans have already begun t...
Travis Scott May Be Looking for EDM Collaborators
One of the biggest artists in hip-hop could be looking to test the waters of the electronic music scene. Travis Scott took to social media today, October 5th, to address the DJs of the Twittersphere. The prolific “Antidote” rapper, who has racked up seven Grammy Award nominations before the age of 30, could very well be trying to swerve into the EDM lane after urging DJs to look out for something from him in their inboxes. “DJs Just keep Checking ur mailbox,” he wrote. “Got something on the way in the mail for ya.” While the usage of the term “DJs” is nebulous here, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the word is perpetually conflated with the EDM world. And, considering Scott’s prevalence in the electronic mus...

You check it out below. Nicky Romero has stayed busy during the worldwide live music shutdown. Last month, he released his first EP under his new Monocule moniker. Not long before that, he dropped a 2020 edit of...
