Blossoming Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Jhay Cortez has teamed up with Skrillex for a new single called “En Mi Cuarto,” which arrived today alongside an official music video starring Mia Khalifa. Khalifa, perhaps best known for her work in the porn industry, glides on a motorcycle down a desolate highway, doing tricks while donning a helmet with devil horns. It’s a subtle foreshadowing of what follows—a scene in which Skrillex and Cortez party in a room that bursts into flames. Check out the official “En Mi Cuarto” music video below.

Watch Louis The Child Drop Unreleased Skrillex Collab On “Euphoria” Tour
Earlier in the week, we shared the news of a new ASCAP recording that listed Skrillex on a track with Future, JAY-Z, Beyoncé, and DJ Khaled. Now, another unreleased collab has been revealed, and this time it’s with a dance act. At last weekend’s Chandler, Arizona stop on their “Euphoria” tour, Louis The Child debuted an unreleased track they produced with Skrillex. A fan who attended the show posted the clip online, which was eventually circulated far and wide on social media. The generous preview begins with the duo announcing that the song has never been played before. Luckily, the clip was filmed in the front row and is rather high-quality for a live-recorded video. Fans are able to hear an unidentified vocalist deliver some catchy lines before a b...
Publishing Rights for Avicii’s “Without You” Fetch $65,000 at Auction
The publishing rights to one of Avicii’s most iconic songs has hit the auction market, creating an opportunity for one lucky investor to effectively own a piece of dance music history. It was a track teased heavily in the late years of Avicii’s life. When he first began playing “Without You” in 2016 at high-profile appearances such as Ultra Music Festival and Creamfields, several rough rips began to pop up online as fans feverishly speculated its release date. However, it wasn’t until August 2017 that we finally witnessed the chemistry between Avicii and Sandro Cavazza on the heartstring-tugging collaboration. The publishing rights to “Without You” recently landed on Royalty Exchange, an emerging marketplace which facilitates the sale of royalty-generating ass...
Watch Steve Aoki Perform With All Time Low At Lollapalooza 2021
Steve Aoki is known for his high-profile, star-studded collaborations, which extend far outside the confines of dance music. But he’s outdone himself this time after performing with All Time Low at the 2021 edition of Lollapalooza. Aoki found himself trending on Twitter for a myriad of reasons—like he often does—but this time around, it wasn’t just for his onstage antics and penchant for walloping people with cakes. Aoki’s DJ set went viral after he brought out the iconic punk band, sending fans of the group into a tizzy. Fans were able to capture the moment after Aoki shared a few videos of the performance on his Instagram Story. One clip shows lead singer Alex Gaskarth singing a never-before-heard track—a rumored an unreleased collab with Aoki—while another sh...
Halsey Releases Eerie Second Trailer for ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ IMAX Film
Following the first trailer released earlier this month, the second preview for Halsey’s upcoming IMAX movie If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power begins with picturesque scenes of the singer playing with a child and bathing among women in an ornate bathhouse. The trailer, titled “woman/god,” then takes a sinister turn as she’s shown racing away through the forest on horseback. What follows is a fast-paced Medieval montage set to a previously unheard song in which Halsey sings, “I am not a woman, I’m a god.” Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power is described as a “disruptive film and album experience from the mind of Halsey,” per the movie’s poster. Out August 25, the hour-long film will double as an early release for the album of the same name and will...
Rich the Kid Flexes His Luxury Fit in Video for New Song ”Prada”
Rich the Kid is making sure fans know he plans to uphold his mantra of staying “Rich Forever” in a music video for his new song “Prada.” Directed by Wyatt Winfrey, the visual follows the rapper through the streets as he cruises in his Maybach, stopping in the middle of the street to dance on top of the car. “Pardon me, bought a Prada fit,” Kid raps. “Gettin’ money, like a lot of it, okay.” The track follows his most recent release with rising rap star Coi Leray, “Boss Bitch,” produced by TM88 and LNK. Earlier this year, Kid dropped a surprise EP called Lucky 7 in January through his own label Rich Forever Music. The seven song tracklist includes “Too Blessed,” featuring Quavo and Takeoff and “Boom Boom” featuring Lil Mosey. In its aftermath, the rapper has been steadily dropping new music,...
Lollapalooza 2021 Opens in Full Force as COVID Looms Large
In the history of Chicago concerts, there has likely never been as much riding on a live music event as on Lollapalooza 2021. It’s been less than two months since the city fully “reopened” for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic sent it spinning into lockdown, and like elsewhere in the country, the rise of the Delta variant has been cause for alarm due to its implications for public health and local economies. Chicagoans are rightly concerned about what a massive outbreak related to a festival with roughly 100,000 attendees per day could mean for the safety, health, and livelihoods of the people who live and work in the city (Chicago Tribune columnist Rex Huppke called Lollapalooza a “mistake waiting to happen”). And in the live music community in Chicago and beyond, which is just g...
Billie Eilish Survives a Flood in “Happier Than Ever” Music Video
Today, Billie Eilish released the music video for “Happier Than Ever,” the lead track from her new album of the same name. In typical Eilish fashion, the song opens somberly before taking a dramatic turn. The video opens with Eilish sitting on a velvet couch in a room washed in peach. The song opens up with the line: “When I’m away from you/ I’m happier than ever/ Wish I could explain it better/ I wish it wasn’t true.” As the camera pans, it becomes clearer that the alt-pop star is likely addressing a romantic interest on the phone. The soft and somber guitar gets an electric makeover when Eilish opens the door and water floods the room. Eilish quickly swims away and ends up on the house’s roof as rain pours down through the shadowy blue darkness. Today, Eilish released her highly anticipa...
Kurt Cobain’s Childhood Home Is A Landmark, With An Exhibit Coming Soon
Kurt Cobain’s childhood home in Aberdeen, Washington has long been the ultimate pilgrimage destination for Nirvana fans. But as of last week, it became official. Washington’s Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation included the late singer’s home to the state’s Heritage Register as a culturally important building. And soon, fans will get to walk in and experience it as Cobain did during the time in his life when he was learning to play guitar and developing his love for music. Cobain lived in the one-and-a-half-story house from 1968 to 1984. According to the property’s current owner, Lee Bacon, plans to restore the home and recreate it at “90 to 95 percent complete,” per Rolling Stone. “Our goal is to make the house a tribute project to Kurt’s early life and career, with museum ...
J.K. Simmons Reportedly on the Verge of Reprising His Commissioner Gordon Role for ‘Batgirl’
Oscar-winning actor J.K. Simmons is reportedly in talks to return as his role as Commissioner Gordon in the upcoming HBO Max film, Batgirl. Simmons recently returned as Gordon for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Deadline reports, if Simmons takes on the role again, he will be acting alongside Leslie Grace who was recently cast to play the protagonist superhero, Batgirl. It is unsure if the film will closely stick to Batgirl’s titular origin story, but if that is the case, then Simmons will be playing Grace’s father in the film. Batgirl is set to be directed by filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. The film is currently scheduled to arrive on HBO Max in 2022, but it is unsure if the film will tie into Matt Reeves forthcoming The Batman starring Robert Pattinson. I am BEYOND EXCITED t...
“Real Life” SpongeBob and Patrick Star Spotted at Bottom of Atlantic Ocean
For fans of Nickelodeon‘s Spongebob Squarepants, marine biologist Christopher Mah recently shared an image of “real life” SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star. Taken by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration remotely operated deep-sea vehicle, the pair of sea life were spotted on an underwater mountain called Retriever Seamount, around 200 miles east of New York City and more than a mile below the Atlantic Ocean. Revealing their scientific names: Hertwigia (sponge) and Chondraster (starfish), Mah revealed that despite the colors being similar “most depictions of Patrick and Spongebob are incorrect.” Adding that sea sponges are more commonly orange or white in color and never in a square shape, while the carnivorous Chondraser starfish actually eat sea sponges. Check out the ph...
Kurt Cobain’s Childhood Home Being Restored for Private Tours
Nirvana fans may soon be able to live out their dreams and visit Kurt Cobain’s Aberdeen, Washington childhood home in its original form. After being added to Heritage Register last week, the house’s current owner is continuing restoration plans with the goal of opening it to private tours next spring. Cobain lived in the one-and-a-half-story house from 1968 to 1984. The home’s current owner, Lee Bacon, and his wife Danielle bought it for $225,000 from the Cobain family in 2018. Bacon told Rolling Stone that plans to restore the house are “90 to 95 percent” complete. This will include repainting the exterior to match the “light-colored fern” and “dark-colored mint” colors it had in the ’70s. Meanwhile, the interior includes the Cobain family’s original dining room table and china hutch, the...
