Warung Launch Upcycled Apparel Line and Charitable Initiative Alongside New “Madness” EP
While you might know Boston duo Warung for their tech house flair, you may not know that they’ve also been using their platform for a good cause, launching an upcycled apparel line entirely handmade by their Beyond the Gates record label crew. The collection features screen prints of their logo onto thrifted clothing that they’ve bought or fans have sent in. By doing this, they’ve breathed new life into discarded pieces because—as the old adage says—one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. The upcycled apparel refers to their process of reducing waste from clothing, which ultimately cuts down on air and water pollution, landfill use, and lowers their footprint for greenhouse gas emissions. To top things off, Warung share 5% of the shop’s pro...

Watch 12-Year-Old Noah Epps Perform Eerie Dance to Boombox Cartel Song on America’s Got Talent
Back in June 2020, Noah Epps stunned his America’s Got Talent audience with a spine-chilling dance routine to a song by Excision, harnessing his love of electronic music and manifesting it into a unique performance that captured the collective heart of the EDM community.

Tricky Talks Grief, Racism, Cathartic New LP Fall to Pieces
Although he’s managed to cloak himself in mystery for the last 30 years of his career, Tricky offered a surprising level of candor and transparency in his must-read 2019 memoir, Hell Is Round the Corner. As he documents in the book, the Bristol-born musician has always used music to escape a reality plagued by misfortune, violence and racism. “Well, it’s funny — I actually learned about racism through white people,” he says, almost incredulously, to SPIN. “And with what America’s going through right now, I wondered if they really wanted a book by the name of Hell Is Round The Corner on their coffee table. I don’t know if that’s good timing, but my manager encouraged me to do it because ‘people will understand you more.’” Tricky’s innovative catalog conveys the depth of his brood...

Axel Thesleff Turns Cancelled Live Set Into Immersive Technicolor Film Experience
Axel Thesleff spent months preparing for his SXSW debut this year, developing a groundbreaking new audiovisual performance to share on the occasion.

BT Dissected His Biggest Tracks to Invite Fans on a Journey Through His Storied Career [Exclusive]
With a career spanning over 25 years, the mythos of electronic dance music surges through BT. The fabled trance producer’s groundbreaking sonic flair gushed through the dance music sphere in the mid-90s like a tributary, pervading it en route to the ushering in of a new electronic epoch. As BT’s pioneering developments in trance music became more ubiquitous through the years, his artistry began to mutate, evolving and expanding into a litany of electronic sub-genres such as IDM, ambient, and even trip hop. As the time passed, he started to resemble a doppelgänger of himself—a completely different person with the same face and mind. However, his latest album, The Lost Art of Longing, moonlighted as an audial time machine that transported him back to his dance roots. The rec...
