Flux Pavilion Taps Kata Kozma for New Melodic Single “You & I” from Upcoming Album
Perhaps no name is more synonymous with bass music than Flux Pavilion, whose mega-hits have remained a staple in the dubstep scene and beyond for the last decade. Now, the producer and DJ has returned with a new single that might just cement itself as one of those hits. “You & I (feat. Kata Kozma)” is a single from Flux’s forthcoming album, due this November on Circus Records, and another exploration of his melodic side. The production teeters between future bass and melodic dubstep, evoking strong emotions via Kata Kozma’s heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies. Undoubtedly destined to become a mainstage classic whenever stages return, “You & I” is the equivalent of a rock ballad in a melodic bass format. The single expresses an unbreakable bond ...

Keith Urban’s life is so busy, his albums drop in stages. Just 24 hours after hosting the ACM Awards, the Australian country star drops Part 1 of The Speed of Now, his 10th studio album. The new LP spans 16 tracks and includes collaborations with Eric Church, Nile Rodgers, Breland and his previously released single with Pink, “One Too Many,” which the pair performed Thursday night at the ACM Awards. “When I collaborate, I’m always looking for that ‘third thing,’” Urban said ahead of release. “There’s what I do, there’s what my collaborator does and then there’s this ‘third thing’ that I’m most curious about. That’s what interests me the most – when the sum of the parts becomes even more than what I envisioned. That’s what I love so much about it – finding common ground, shaping...

TED NUGENT Doesn’t Know Any Racists: ‘Color Doesn’t Matter To Anybody I Know,’ He Says
In a new interview with Newsradio WOOD 1300 and 106.9 FM, outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent was asked to name the biggest issues facing voters in this year’s presidential election. He responded (hear audio below): “I’ll be 72 here in a couple of months, but I’m cocked, locked and ready to rock, doc. I so love this country. I so demand freedom. I so understand the vision of the founding fathers. And what the Nugent family pursues in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it’s ubiquitous. It’s not universal, because you’ve got your terrorists. You’ve got your ‘Black Lives Matter’ that don’t care about black lives. Everybody I know actually does care about everybody. We don’t look at anything as colored — colo...
DEFTONES Release Music Video For New Single ‘Genesis’
DEFTONES have released the official Sebastian Kökow-directed music video for their new song “Genesis”. The track is the second single from the band’s upcoming ninth album, “Ohms”, which will arrive on September 25 via Warner. Speculation of the forthcoming album among fans swept across the media landscape, stoking curiosity as the band’s web site and social platforms went dark. The intrigue continued to rise when they revealed the striking album art on their site with no additional information. Designed by longtime collaborator Frank Maddocks (who also designed the iconic “White Pony” LP cover), the captivating album image of two eyes made up of thousands of white pixels cryptically appeared on a billboard in the cultural hot-spot of Los Ange...

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS: ‘Cyr’ Album Details Revealed
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS will release their new double album, “Cyr”, on November 27 via Sumerian Records. The 20-song follow-up to 2018’s “Shiny And Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.” was produced by singer-songwriter Billy Corgan and includes the previously released singles “Cyr” and “The Colour of Love”. “‘Cyr’ is dystopic folly,” Corgan said in a statement, “one soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn’t possible with faith.” THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have also announced “In Ashes”, a five-part animated series written by Corgan, featuring new ...
Unheard Thelonious Monk High School Performance from 1968 Finally Surfaces: Stream
A previously unreleased Thelonious Monk live recording from October 1968 is finally seeing light today through Impulse! Records and Legacy Recordings. The album captures Monk and his all-star quartet — Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), Larry Gales (bass), and Ben Riley (drums) — performing a concert at a local high school in Palo Alto, California. According to a press release, the concert was organized by 16-year-old student named Danny Scher, and was recorded by the school’s janitor. The tape was stowed away in Scher’s attic for years and was only recently rediscovered. T.S. Monk, the son of Thelonious and founder of the Thelonious Monk Institute, called the performance “one of the best live recordings I’ve ever heard by Thelonious.” He added, “I wasn’t even aware of my dad playing a high school...

The Times is rounded out by five cuts from various stages in Young’s catalog, all of which are particularly...
Deftones Unleash New Song “Genesis” from Forthcoming Album Ohms: Stream
With one week to go before the release of the highly anticipated new Deftones album, Ohms, the band has unveiled the LP’s second single, “Genesis”. The latest song from the alt-metal act’s ninth album follows the title track, which arrived last month as the first single. “Genesis” begins with a slow build before kicking in with vicious vocals from Chino Moreno, who alternates between full-on screams and melodic singing throughout the tune. Musically, the song crushes with mighty riffs from guitarist Stephen Carpenter. The two singles — “Genesis” and “Ohms” — bookend the 12-song album as the leadoff and closing tracks, respectively. “Ohms” was the most added single at Mainstream Rock radio upon its release, and currently sits in the Top 15 of that chart. Accompanying the new song “Genesis” ...
