After shaking the natural foundation of Red Rocks Amphitheatre to the core, Subtronics left fans with a very special parting gift at this year’s “Cyclops Rocks” event. With help from Rusko, Yheti and more, one of the bass music scene’s most beloved producers delivered a devastating blow to the scarlet-colored rocks of Morrison, Colorado over the weekend. While fans were treated to remarkable performances all night long, one particular moment has been talked about nonstop: when Subtronics dropped an unreleased collaboration with Zeds Dead. Wobbly from the moment it begins, the track, tentatively titled “Zedstronics,” features superhero-inspired vocals that call out, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Zedstronics.” It’s no...
After the release of ODESZA‘s latest single from their fourth album, one thing has never been more clear: they won’t settle for the ordinary. The tandem have never shied away from roaming new sonic frontiers in their illustrious career, but The Last Goodbye is perhaps their biggest canvas for exploration. Case in point are the album cuts “The Last Goodbye” and “Love Letter,” which embraced house music in a way ODESZA never have before. But their new single, a subversive single called “Behind The Sun,” is markedly more haunting than its predecessors. “Behind The Sun” samples a song recorded by Simin Ghanem, an Iranian classicial singer born in 1944. Ghanem’s Persian chants bellow through ODESZA’s spellbinding sound...
We only needed one, but there’s now nine reasons to get fired up ahead of Martin Garrix‘s debut club album. The Dutch dance music titan has now unveiled the ninth and final single from Sentio, which drops in full this Friday, April 29th. This time around, he’s teamed up with STMPD RCRDS vet Blinders for an instrumental anthem called “Aurora.” The cinematic progressive house tune was originally a remix of “In The Name Of Love,” Garrix’s 3x Platinum global hit with Bebe Rexha. After playing out the track in many of his DJ sets, he decided to turn it into an original and team up with Blinders, a renowned Polish DJ who collaborated with Garrix back in 2018 on the fan-favorite electro house cut “Breach (Walk Alone).” Scroll t...
It’s not uncommon for long lines of patrons to form outside of the bars and nightclubs in Downtown Pomona, California. After all, the eastern L.A. County city has seen its historic center prosper as a weekend nightlife destination since the turn of the millennium. What is uncommon, however, is when said lines form on a Tuesday night, and even more peculiar is the eccentric clientele eager to march downstairs into The Basement. As its name entails, The Basement can be found below ground level directly under the streets of Pomona. The nondescript nightclub sits at the corner of a busy intersection lined with competing watering holes and boasts a rotating roster of themed nights. But out of the entire weekly lineup, one night in particular shines brighter than the others: a q...
Harry Styles‘ next album is all about finding a sense of home. In his Better Homes & Gardens cover story published Tuesday (April 26), the 28-year-old singer-songwriter revealed that his May 20-slated third record Harry’s House includes cozy lyrics about “sitting in the garden” and “maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two,” all having to do with his realization that “home feeling isn’t something that you get from a house.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “It’s more of an internal thing,” he told the publication. “You realize that when you stop for a minute.” But what, exactly, is the chaos in his life he’s now working to move away from and toward stability? Turns out, a lot. Styles spoke in the interview at length about how Harry...
