Celebrate World Meditation Day with Eric Sharp’s Exclusive EDM.com Playlist
Balance isn’t something you find; it’s something you create. In honor of World Meditation Day, we’re reflecting on different ways the electronic dance music scene can adopt healthier habits. While loads of fun, our industry generally isn’t the healthiest. Ask any touring artist and most will tell you that all of the late nights, extensive travel, sleep deprivation, and partying can do a number on one’s mental and physical wellbeing. From the outside looking in, it may seem as if the EDM world is run by revelers. This, however, is not always the case. There are a number of dance music artists who live very mindful and healthy lifestyles, even while on the road and in the thick of the nightlife. One such artist is the house maestro, Eric Sharp. Having channeled his sober, he...
Aitch Announces Debut Album ‘Close To Home’, Drops New Single “1989”
Manchester’s Aitch can’t stop winning. Following the release of the Ashanti-sampled summer smash “Baby” – and then a much-welcomed link-up with UK rap OG Giggs for “Just Coz” – the 0161 native keeps proving why he’s one of the country’s leading rhymers, despite his age. Now Aitch is back with a new single, this time sampling the timeless hook from The Stone Roses record “Fools Gold” for “1989.” Making the release strictly a Manchester affair, the merging of eras from the rainy city has been bridged through Aitch’s cut-throat rapping ability, full of references to his extravagant lifestyle and his newfound responsibility for repping Manchester to the fullest. Keeping the Kelvin Jones-directed visuals close to home, we see Aitch (and friends) causing mischief on the local estate wi...
Inside Track: Creator Power, Spatial Audio & the Metaverse Dominate Music Biz 2022
For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the Music Biz conference happened in person in Nashville this month, bringing together industry figures from across the globe to banter about the various topics facing the business after two years of relying on tech and streaming to connect an increasingly-fractured landscape. One conversation that seemed to permeate both panels and interpersonal conversations at the convention was the expanding role of artists in their own marketing and release strategy, whether they are signed to a major or not. During panels like “The Future of the Artist Deal” and “Navigating New Strategies,” speakers waxed near-philosophical on the improved standing of artists in advocating on their own behalf, while also examining the pitfalls that come from this mo...

Harry Styles Performs ‘Harry’s House’ In Its Entirety at ‘One Night Only in NY’ Show
In 2022, it’s very rare to find a room of nearly 20,000 people, the majority of whom are teenage girls, belting along to Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody” word for word.

Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter Is “Not Ready to Leave the Country Yet,” Will Sit Out European Tour
Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter has elected to sit out the band’s upcoming UK and European tour dates, saying he’s “not ready” to leave the United States yet. Carpenter posted a video statement on Deftones’ Twitter, explaining that he made his decision based on “everything going on in the world.” It’s worth noting that Carpenter expressed staunch anti-vax sentiments in the past, and would likely have a difficult time traversing European countries is he’s indeed unvaccinated against COVID-19.

Boldy James and Real Bad Man Share Banging New Album Killing Nothing: Stream
Boldy James and Real Bad Man have teamed up for the ice cold new album Killing Nothing. James previously linked with Real Bad Man in 2020 for the stellar album Real Bad Boldy, which means this isn’t the first time that fans have wondered how Real Bad Man can simultaneously claim to be a Los Angeles clothing collective and also a music production crew (Adam Weissman and James Clay Jones III are credited on every track).

The 13-track set features contributions from frequent Boldy collaborator Stove God Cooks, as well as CRIMEAPPLE, Knowledge the Pirate, and Rome Streetz.
