Mandy Moore and Karen Elson Respond to Ryan Adams’ Recent Public Apology
Following Ryan Adams’ public apology over the weekend, both Mandy Moore and Karen Elson have shared their reactions to his attempt at making public amends. “It’s challenging because I feel like in many ways I’ve said all I want to say about him and that situation, but I find it curious that someone would make a public apology but not do it privately,” Moore told NBC’s Hoda Kotb on The Today Show on Monday morning (July 6). “I am speaking for myself, but I have not heard from him, and I’m not looking for an apology necessarily, but I do find it curious that someone would do an interview about it without actually making amends privately.” Following her comments on The Today Show, Moore urged her fans to move on from the past and “focus on real news,” redirecting the focus to finding justice ...
Oliver Heldens Revives HI-LO Alias for Latest Single “Zeus”
Heldeep label head Oliver Heldens has reawakened his alter ego, HI-LO, after a 9-month hiatus for a triumphant return with “Zeus,” released today via mau5trap. Minimalistic yet hypnotic due to its unrelenting bassline, “Zeus” stays true to the sound that Heldens has consistently cultivated under his HI-LO alias. The track clocks in at just over five minutes, which is more than enough time to get lost in its mystifying melodies and snappy percussion. Those who found themselves rinsing his previous tracks “Poseidon” or “LazersX999” will surely gravitate towards the dark, enchanting feel of “Zeus.” Heldens took fans by surprise when he first released “Crank It Up” as HI-LO through Mad Decent in 2015. Since...
Saint Punk Unleashes Grunge House Smash “Everybody”
Saint Punk is quickly working his way to becoming a household name. Last year, the LA-based producer released his self-titled debut EP via CONFESSION, as well as churned out remixes for the likes of QUIX, Vincent, and MXMS. This time around, he’s impressed with his latest single “Everybody,” released via Thrive Music. Each of Saint Punk’s recent releases has shown steady refinement and “Everybody” is no different. This thumping grunge house stunner pulls out all the stops, as the talented producer combines breakbeat drums, blaring sirens, and crushing synths to help cultivate an infectious feel that we can’t get enough of. Saint Punk has masterfully woven a catchy vocal sample in as well, making this tune all the more irresistible. Fans o...
Watch ARMNHMR Drop Massive Unreleased Adventure Club Collab “Anywhere With You”
With no end to the COVID-19 pandemic in sight, many DJs and producers have opted to use livestreaming as a vehicle to deliver new music to their fans, funneling it straight to the blue light of their computer screens in lieu of in-person events. Due to their easy accessibility, livestreams serve as mouthwatering opportunities for those artists to test out new tracks. ARMNHMR recently did just that, revealing an unreleased collaboration with fellow melodic dubstep tandem Adventure Club in a recent livestreamed performance. The soaring single, tentatively titled “Anywhere With You,” features the vocals of HALIENE, who has emerged as one of the most highly sought after collaborators in trance and future bass. You can watch the video below, which was shared in a tweet by ARMNH...
Indian Farmers are Using Dance Music to Fight Against Invading Locusts
Due to an unprecedented number of locust invasions on their farmlands, many Indian farmers are resorting to unorthodox means of fighting against the pesky insects, which are decimating their crops. According to a report published in Singapore-based news outlet The Straits Times, farmers are lighting firecrackers, clanging pots and pans, and even blasting electronic dance music in their efforts to ward off the locusts. The locust invasions are the worst that farmers have seen in the last 26 years and local officials have struggled mightily in their efforts to contain them. Swarms reportedly began to migrate from Pakistan and Iran back in April following the worst outbreak in decades in eastern Africa, which was precipitated by high rainfall and, in turn, favorable breeding weather. In...
TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe Dances at the Guillotine on “ReelFeel”: Stream
Tunde Adebimpe has shared a new song called “ReelFeel” — perhaps because the more appropriate title of Dance Dance Revolution was already taken. “ReelFeel” is a toe-tapping ode to regime change, as well as a charity single benefiting the Audre Lord Project. Earlier in his career, the TV on the Radio frontman was more concerned with interior struggles and the emotional distance between individuals. But the dumpster fire of 2020 has pulled his attention to public spaces, and the results are as magnificent and incisive as fans could have hoped. Last month on Juneteenth, Adebimpe shared the protest song “People”, and “ReelFeel” is a spiritual successor — a kind of “after” shot accompanying the pained “before” of “People”. “ReelFeel” was produced by Chrome Sparks, who called the cut a “sco...
Tom Hanks Saves Apple TV+’s Greyhound From Sinking: Review
The Pitch: In the North Atlantic during World War II exists a stretch of water known as the Black Pit. It’s there, beyond the reach of any air support, convoys of American supply ships heading toward a battered Britain are attacked by hunting wolfpacks of German U-Boats. Their only protection in this perilous span of water comes by way of accompanying destroyers. One such ship, the USS Keeling (call sign “Greyhound”), is helmed by Commander Ernest Krause (Tom Hanks), who must safeguard his convoy over the course of 50 hours in his first-ever wartime command. Adapted by Hanks from C. S. Forester’s novel The Good Shepherd, Greyhound’s subject matter should come as no surprise. The two-time Academy Award winning actor has explored other World War II stories as the star of Saving Private Ryan ...

Charlie Puth Calls Out ‘Dangerous, Toxic’ Stan Culture: ‘Please Be Nicer to Each Other’
Charlie Puth took to social media on Sunday (July 5) to share his unfiltered thoughts on the toxicity of stan culture between pop stars’ fan bases. “I don’t usually pay any mind to things like this, but something has to be said. This dangerous, toxic, internet screaming match between ‘fandoms’ has to stop,” he began in a series of thoughtful tweets. “I’m 28 years old, so it doesn’t really mean anything to me when some person I don’t know writes a nasty message to me saying things like ‘I used BTS for clout.’ I don’t know what that means- I love those guys and they are super talented.” The singer’s reference to BTS comes after fans of the K-pop boy band accused him of trying to piggyback off the group’s popularity for his own gain o...
