Spencer Brown Launches New Record Label, Releases 18-Minute Song: Listen
Spencer Brown is taking his art into his own hands. While longtime fans know him for excellent releases on record labels like Anjunadeep and mau5trap, the renowned DJ, who was named one of EDM.com‘s “Best Music Producers of 2021,” has now launched his own label diviine.

DISTURBED’s DAVID DRAIMAN: Streaming Services Like SPOTIFY ‘Saved Music’
DISTURBED frontman David Draiman says that streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music “saved” the music industry. The 48-year-old singer shared his opinion after a video compilation surfaced of podcaster Joe Rogan repeatedly using the “n-word” on his “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, which first launched in 2009 and became exclusive to Spotify in late 2020, prompting renewed criticism against both Rogan and Spotify at large. Just a couple of weeks earlier, Neil Young and other musicians pulled their music from the platform over their belief that Rogan and his guests spread COVID-19 misinformation.

Kim Petras Drops New EP Slut Pop: Stream
Kim Petras’ NSFW era starts now. At the stroke of midnight, the rising star released her new EP Slut Pop via Republic Records just in time for Valentine’s Day. Stream it below. While the German pop princess’ latest single “Coconuts” merely flirted with the explicit thanks to a number of coy and clever double entendres, she goes full frontal (musically speaking, of course) on the new seven-track project with songs like “Treat Me Like a Slut,” “XXX,” “Throat Goat,” and “They Wanna Fuck.” In a statement released, the trans icon revealed the inspiration for the unabashedly sex-positive EP came from the sex worker community and the way they are all too often stigmatized and shamed by polite society.
