Making their way to Seven Lions’ Ophelia imprint for the first time, JVNA and LICK have teamed up for a dazzling bass anthem, “Phenomenon.” “Phenomenon” expertly combines JVNA and LICK’s distinct sound while simultaneously matching the vision of Ophelia.

deadmau5 and Skylar Grey Reunite for “Resident Evil” Soundtrack With New Single, “My Heart Has Teeth”
After teasing their latest collaboration last week, deadmau5 and Skylar Grey‘s contribution to Netflix’s Resident Evil soundtrack has finally arrived. “My Heart Has Teeth” expertly captures the haunting ethos of the beloved horror franchise. By making use of JUNO and Jupiter synths, deadmau5 is able to capture an ethereal, downtempo sound that’s far different than the pulsing electro sound we’ve come to expect. Grey’s mesmerizing vocals and lyrics are yet another enchanting layer to the captivating song. The reunion of deadmau5 and Grey follows 2016’s “Beneath With Me,” a fan-favorite collab with Kaskade. This isn’t the only homecoming featured on the soundtrack, however, as deadmau5 previously worked with Grégory ...
Akeos Continues to Show Unbridled Brilliance In New EP, “Libellule”
In yet another stroke of genius, EDM.com Class of 2022 star Akeos has released their mind-bending Libellule EPP. Libellule is a continuation of the mastery Akeos has been building upon for years packaged neatly into a three-track EP. They’ve continued to mystify listeners, carving their own path with unpredictable tunes.

While their previous EP, Flesh Garden, was spearheaded by diverse productions throughout, Libellule maintains a similar feel through each of its three tracks. The pounding, intricately crafted beats maintain the same level of meticulous sound design yet flow much differently. It’s almost as if they’re...

Far-Right, Anti-Gay Pastor Jesse Lee Peterson Allegedly Had Secret Same-Sex Relationships
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Kempin / Getty When it comes to most anti-gay, anti-LGBTQ talking heads, they always seem to have some skeletons in their closet waiting to come out. Manosphere pastor Jesse Lee Peterson might be a perfect example of that. Is Jesse Lee Peterson Living A Secret Gay Life? Jesse Lee Peterson is the token Black man white conservatives and far-right advocates love to champion. He denies the existence of white privilege, is against Black people taking advantage of government programs, and most importantly, can’t stand homosexuality. Patterson also bizarrely believes that “Any woman that is climaxing is becoming a man. Because it’s not normal for women to do that.” What?

Unpublished Memoir of Liar and Emmett Till Accuser Carolyn Bryant Donham Made Public
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bettmann / Getty A memoir written by the woman who was at the center of the murder of Emmett Till has surfaced. The discovery, coupled with news of an unserved warrant from that time has raised calls to reopen the case. According to NewsOne, an unnamed source provided a copy of a 100-page memoir from Carolyn Bryant Donham, the woman who made the false accusation against 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till in Mississippi in 1955. Her claim led to the boy’s abduction, savage beating, and lynching. Till’s grotesquely disfigured face was published in JET Magazine, spurring many to mobilize within the Black community and serving as a flashpoint for the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The document, entitled “I Am More Than A Wolf Whistle”, was apparentl...
Carly Rae Jepsen Teams With Lewis OfMan for New Song “Move Me”
While I was living in Florence I had this special party where I found my heart shaken up by someone, I remember these insane blue eyes, but destiny wasn’t OK for us to pursue each other, we were stuck in our own lives and couldn’t mix them. The day after I wrote “Move Me” I was full of passion and dreams, and wanted to scream it out to the world. I had a session with Carly the same night, she instantly felt the song and sent me recordings of her beautiful voice and some additional ideas—it just made so much sense to do this duet together, it’s such a beautiful encounter. Now, enjoy this track, and we hope it will resonate through your life.
