Wynn Nightlife Set to Bring “Gronk Beach” Party to Las Vegas for NFL Draft Weekend
Football season is right around the corner, and Rob Gronkowski is giving fans and NFL rookies a welcome party to remember. Teaming up with Wynn Nightlife and Medium Rare, the Buccaneers tight end is bringing his namesake party to Las Vegas’ Encore Beach Club in what’s sure to be its biggest edition yet. Gronk Beach is set to take pool season in Las Vegas to its apex. In the offseason Gronk treats partying like a competitive sport, and if it’s one thing we know, the Super Bowl champion knows how to host. With the NFL Draft headed to Vegas this year during the same weekend, there’s no better way to celebrate this year’s incoming class. “We are going for the championship of events with the return of Gronk Beach,” Gronkowski said ...
Subtronics Channels Headbanger Energy With Unrelenting “Do It To It” Remix: Listen
The feverish craze for “Do It To It” continues, and Subtronics is weighing in with a fierce new interpretation. The Cyclops Recordings proprietor has taken ACRAZE‘s breakout hit down a discernibly dark path, transforming the groove-inducing house track into a headbanger’s delight. The bass music virtuoso twists the original’s iconic vocals into a hypnotic incantation before unleashing a grungy onslaught of riddim basslines regulated by nothing more than the punching kick and snap of the snare as their timekeeper. The high-energy beatdown of bass continues in the second drop, which sees Subtronics dramatizing the chord progression with a renewed round of distortion-heavy synths. The sleek beats and clean energy behind ACRAZE’s original find a divergi...
New Teaser From The Chainsmokers Reveals “One of the Hardest Drops” From New Album: Watch
Despite their continued mainstream success, it seems The Chainsmokers haven’t lost their bite. The duo are on the cusp of the release of their fourth album, titled So Far So Good, and they’ve already begun road-testing previously unheard cuts from the effort. The latest example of the duo rinsing their latest and greatest on stage was reposted to their TikTok account. The brief teaser reveals what The Chainsmakers are calling “one of the hardest drops on the album,” showcasing a scorching trap drop buoyed by thumping 808s. Coincidentally, given the reveal of the album’s tracklist earlier this month, we have a pretty good idea the track in question is coincidentally titled “Testing.” Check out the clip below.

Coachella 2022: Phoebe Bridgers Duets with Arlo Parks
Phoebe Bridgers took the stage at Coachella for her debut performance at the festival. In addition to playing “Sidelines” — her new song for the upcoming series Conversations with Friends — the indie-folk artist invited R&B musician Arlo Parks to join her for renditions of “Graceland Too” and “I Know the End.” (Ed. Note: Did you know Bridgers and Parks are both former Consequence Artist of the Month recipients?) “Graceland Too” and “I Know the End” are both highlights from Bridgers’ most recent album, Punisher, and backing vocals are absolutely necessary to get them off the ground. Parks’ honeyed croon does the job perfectly, from the harmonies of “Graceland Too” to the unforgettable chants of “I Know the End.” Aside from the songs mentioned, Bridgers’ set also included her ...
