Song of the Week: beabadoobee’s “Care” Reminds Us That It’s Actually Summer
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify New Sounds playlist. Let’s play some catchup. 2020 began with all the musical anticipation of a new year and fresh decade. Then, when COVID-19 initially struck the States, music became an afterthought as we watched major albums delayed and highly anticipated tours postponed into oblivion. Then music became a lifeline as we huddled indoors and waited for the world to end. We listened to “quarantine albums,” found comfort in online fireside or bathtub sessions, and began marking Instagram shows on our calendars as if they were actual concerts. Then, the George Floyd murder shook the world, and we needed music to cry to, to scream to, and, most importantl...

Martin Garrix Drops First Track from Tech-House Alias Ytram on “Make You Mine” with Bleu Clair
When a mysterious masked man named Ytram walked on stage at Tomorrowland in 2017 and threw down an impressive deep and tech house set, widespread speculation arose as to who it could be. The man behind the mask was later revealed to be none other than Martin Garrix, and just as quickly as the alias entered the scene, it vanished. Three years later, Garrix is back to reintroduce Ytram to the electronic world with his debut single “Make You Mine,” a collaboration with Bleu Clair featuring vocals by RA. The track was premiered during Garrix’s radio show, showcasing his savvy in the tech house realm to his global audience. Joining forces with Indonesian producer Bleu Clair proved to be a recipe for success, delivering an infectious beat that perfectly co...
Steve Aoki Delivers Virtual DJ Set for IE University’s Graduation Night

Kygo and Tina Turner Release Rework of Legendary Single “What’s Love Got to Do with It”
Earlier this week, Kygo and Tina Turner teased a remix of the latter’s Grammy Award-winning track “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” and the highly-anticipated rework is finally here. Kygo and Tina Turner’s remake of “What’s Love Got to Do with It” is immaculate. The Norwegian producer has done an excellent job at retaining key elements from the original while tastefully transforming it into his own sound—much like he did with his remix of Whitney Houston‘s “Higher Love.” Turner’s pristine vocals remain untouched while Kygo adds in his classic tropical house flair, including subdued kicks, light string elements, and striking piano chords. In a press statement, Kygo said that the track is one of his “...

DOKKEN played a “socially distanced” concert last night (Friday, July 17) at Dr. Pepper Park in Roanoke, Virginia that featured special guest guitarist Reb Beach (WINGER, WHITESNAKE).
