With “So Far So Good” The Chainsmokers Harken Back To The Dawn of Their Mainstream Success
Prior to the release of their fourth studio LP, The Chainsmokers triumphantly tweeted “2016 is back.” The declaration, though somewhat ambiguous, loosely set the tone for what to expect from the prolific duo’s latest effort, So Far So Good. Harkening back to the era of the duo’s breakthrough Collage EP, we’re reminded of The Chainsmokers’ ability to succinctly craft expressive dance-pop with mainstream success. The declaration would seemingly appear to be a clear acknowledgment of what put the duo on top, and their intentions to reclaim that mantle. With So Far So Good out in full, the album is every bit as self-reflective, heartfelt, and nostalgic as we’d hoped. From throwing caution to the wind and seizing the moment on the summery R...

Revered as a pathfinder in techno and ambient music, Väth’s decades-long influence on the electronic music scene is matched by few. And despite 19-year gap between Catharsis and his last album, 2002’s Fire, it’s obvious that Väth is still very much a techno aesthete: “All my touring, intense experiences, incredible people. Life moving fast,” Väth wrote in an announcement shared via social media. “Catharsis came gushing out as I slowed down. It was almost an out of body experience. Mystic pauses. Time to reflect.

Kaskade Is Releasing a Reimagined Version of His Iconic “Fire and Ice” Album

The iconic “Room for Happiness” producer took to social media last week to announce version three of his seminal Fire and Ice album, noting that some of the songs will include vocals from the original singer-songwriters. “If you remember or if you were here in Southern California, I had a Fire & Ice 10-year anniversary party,” Kaskade says in his video. “In preparation for that show I was at the studio one day all stressed out.
