Disclosure Open Up About Working with Mac Miller: “He Was On the Way Back to Recovery and Health”
Following the tragic death of Mac Miller due to an accidental overdose, the late hip-hop sage’s posthumous album Circles was released in January 2020. The aching record, which many found to illuminate Miller’s realization of inner peace prior to his passing, featured a track titled “Blue World” that was produced in part by Disclosure‘s Guy Lawrence. In a new expansive interview with NME, the Grammy Award-nominated electronic duo waxed poetic about working with Miller, saying that he was on the road to recovery at the time. “I wrote a tune with Mac Miller, and he was on the way back to recovery and health, and by all accounts it was just a tragic accident,” said Lawrence. Guy’s brother and Disclosure sidekick, Howard Lawrence, shrewd...

BT Dissected His Biggest Tracks to Invite Fans on a Journey Through His Storied Career [Exclusive]
With a career spanning over 25 years, the mythos of electronic dance music surges through BT. The fabled trance producer’s groundbreaking sonic flair gushed through the dance music sphere in the mid-90s like a tributary, pervading it en route to the ushering in of a new electronic epoch. As BT’s pioneering developments in trance music became more ubiquitous through the years, his artistry began to mutate, evolving and expanding into a litany of electronic sub-genres such as IDM, ambient, and even trip hop. As the time passed, he started to resemble a doppelgänger of himself—a completely different person with the same face and mind. However, his latest album, The Lost Art of Longing, moonlighted as an audial time machine that transported him back to his dance roots. The rec...
GRAVEDGR, Hekler, and Natalie 2V Unleash Genre-Bending Single “CAME FROM HELL”
Both GRAVEDGR and HEKLER have kept busy in 2020. The former released his debut album 6 FEET UNDER to positive reception, while the latter has dropped a consistent stream of singles. The two have now joined forces with Natalie 2V for “CAME FROM HELL,” out via Carnage‘s Heavyweight Records. Originally set to debut at Rampage Open Air this year, “CAME FROM HELL” is a genre-bending bop. Natalie 2V’s gentle vocals serve as an excellent intro, guiding listeners into two wildly different drops. The first is pure drum & bass goodness, complete with industrial-sounding synths and crisp percussion. The second maintains the energy from the first drop, but distorted kicks take over and transform the tune into a psytrance smash. Whil...
