EDM.com has revealed its official Class of 2021 list. This isn’t an index of hot SoundCloud beatmakers or a vanilla “artists to watch” list to keep an eye on for some nebulous amount of time. It’s a list of ten musicians with game-changing skill sets who are on the precipice of becoming headlining superstars in the electronic music landscape. Through their defiant approaches to industry standards and their workhorse-like mentalities, they have already proven their volcanic potential in the dance music scene and are now ready to erupt. Over the next month, we’ll be publishing a wide range of special content from these artists. This includes guest mixes, interviews, and Instagram takeovers with live, behind-the-scenes footage and sneak peeks at new music, a...
While large-scale events and festivals are still on hiatus for the foreseeable future, memories are perhaps the most powerful things we have at the moment. Until we’re able to be reunited at a never-ending festival security line, EDM.com connected with some of the brightest in electronic music to share their favorite festival memories. Ranging from hilarious, wholesome, or just plain weird, we hope these wonderful moments from Apashe, Vanic, Buku, and many more bring a smile to your face. R3HAB “One of my favorite festival memories was in Las Vegas at EDC when 20 fans all made special flags for me. That was very special for me because it brought people together from all around the world.” Riot Ten “My most fond festival memory is probably more of an emotion than an a...
After teasing multiple remixes throughout his recent livestreams, Seven Lions announced that a remix package for his Find Another Way EP would arrive today. The EP has officially dropped and it is just as magnificent as we imagined. Doubling the size of the Find Another Way EP with 10 tracks, this remix package perfectly showcases each artist’s individual sound while still fitting into the niche that Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records has created. The diversity carries over from his Ophelia Presents: Advent Volume 1 compilation that dropped in May, as Gabriel & Dresden have injected their house sound into “What’s Done Is Done” while Delta Heavy has taken a drum & bass approach to the same tune. Listeners will also fin...
EDM.com wishes a Happy Father’s Day not only to all the dads out there, but also the moms who took on both roles for their kids. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day! I flew him out for the weekend and had him hop on stage as a special guest for 1 song. Without thinking much about it I called him “Papa NGHTMRE” over the mic and he has since adopted the nickname. As we walked around the festival after, fans came up to ask for pictures with him! It was a great memory for both of us.” c...
ILLENIUM has released a collection of edits from last year’s ASCEND tour. ILLENIUM’s four-track EP gives listeners a chance to relive one of his most exciting tours yet. The EP opens with his unpredictable rework of “Broken Ones” featuring Anna Clendening, which contains a heavy yet minimalistic drop that later transforms into a psytrance heater. He continues to impress by expertly combining “Crashing (feat. Bahari)” with Blanke and 1788-L‘s glitchy midtempo tune “Destiny.” His next edit, a mash-up of his radio hit “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion and his collaboration with Said The Sky and Annika Wells, “Sad Songs,” clocks in at just over six minutes an...
