Watch Subtronics Rattle Red Rocks With Unreleased Zeds Dead Collaboration
After shaking the natural foundation of Red Rocks Amphitheatre to the core, Subtronics left fans with a very special parting gift at this year’s “Cyclops Rocks” event. With help from Rusko, Yheti and more, one of the bass music scene’s most beloved producers delivered a devastating blow to the scarlet-colored rocks of Morrison, Colorado over the weekend. While fans were treated to remarkable performances all night long, one particular moment has been talked about nonstop: when Subtronics dropped an unreleased collaboration with Zeds Dead. Wobbly from the moment it begins, the track, tentatively titled “Zedstronics,” features superhero-inspired vocals that call out, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Zedstronics.” It’s no...
The Road to ODESZA’s Fourth Album Continues With Haunting Single, “Behind The Sun”
After the release of ODESZA‘s latest single from their fourth album, one thing has never been more clear: they won’t settle for the ordinary. The tandem have never shied away from roaming new sonic frontiers in their illustrious career, but The Last Goodbye is perhaps their biggest canvas for exploration. Case in point are the album cuts “The Last Goodbye” and “Love Letter,” which embraced house music in a way ODESZA never have before. But their new single, a subversive single called “Behind The Sun,” is markedly more haunting than its predecessors. “Behind The Sun” samples a song recorded by Simin Ghanem, an Iranian classicial singer born in 1944. Ghanem’s Persian chants bellow through ODESZA’s spellbinding sound...
Martin Garrix Unveils Final Single From Debut Club Album, “Sentio”
We only needed one, but there’s now nine reasons to get fired up ahead of Martin Garrix‘s debut club album. The Dutch dance music titan has now unveiled the ninth and final single from Sentio, which drops in full this Friday, April 29th.

A Universe of House Music and Tacos: How Space Taco Is Making Tuesdays Sizzle In SoCal
It’s not uncommon for long lines of patrons to form outside of the bars and nightclubs in Downtown Pomona, California. After all, the eastern L.A. County city has seen its historic center prosper as a weekend nightlife destination since the turn of the millennium. What is uncommon, however, is when said lines form on a Tuesday night, and even more peculiar is the eccentric clientele eager to march downstairs into The Basement. As its name entails, The Basement can be found below ground level directly under the streets of Pomona. The nondescript nightclub sits at the corner of a busy intersection lined with competing watering holes and boasts a rotating roster of themed nights. But out of the entire weekly lineup, one night in particular shines brighter than the others: a q...
