To honor their fearless creativity and profound dedication to their craft, we’ve recognized 10 of the best electronic music producers of 2022. Hardwell Hardwell. c/o Hardwell Hardwell’s long-awaited return from a multi-year hiatus was anything but conventional. Rather than stay the course and fan the fumes of big room house n...

Honey Dijon’s Entrancing Sophomore Album Is Here: Listen to “Black Girl Magic”

Honey Dijon has finally released her highly anticipated Black Girl Magic album.  Featuring collaborations with boundary-breaking artists like Channel Tres and Pabllo Vittar, among others, Black Girl Magic interpolates spoken word soliloquies with pulsing sound design and unapologetic lyricism. The album opens with “Love Is,” a record which defines its entire purpose and concept: love. The ensuing track, “Love Is a State of Mind,” picks up the tempo with a brisk four-on-the-floor house groove and acid house-inspired synths. Dancing up to “In The Club,” Dijon’s sound gets more nostalgic. Fluttering, filtered synths and a palpitating bassline carry us right into Eve’s warm vocals.  Honey Dijon.

And the Beyoncé house music era continues. A new remix EP for “BREAK MY SOUL,” Bey’s breakout dance track, was released this week, featuring a club-ready jungle and bounce rendition by Honey Dijon.

Beyoncé Enlists Skrillex, Honey Dijon, More to Reimagine the Rave With “Renaissance” Album

The “Beyoncé house music era” is here. The Queen Bey hive mind had been buzzing in anticipation of Renaissance, her first solo studio album since 2016’s Lemonade. And after today’s release, it’s clear that Beyoncé is embracing electronic music like she never has before. Four-on-the-floor rhythms run roughshod through the album, which growls with the ferocity of a classic Beyoncé record while harkening back to the kaleidoscopic discos of the ’70s. She’s joined forces with a slew of compelling producers for Renaissance, reimagining the rave with an album that has the feel of a deeply influential harbinger for the future of dance music. The artwork of Beyoncé’s seventh studio album, “Renaissance,” which features production from Skrillex, ...

Skrillex Confirmed As Producer On Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” Album

Beyoncé has revealed the collaborators and tracklist for her seventh studio album, which is said to be heavily influenced by electronic music.  So it should come as no surprise that Skrillex has been confirmed to appear on Renaissance.

The iconic “Bangarang” producer is one of a number of electronic music artists to appear on Renaissance, joining Honey Dijon, A.G. Cook, Nile Rodgers and more.

A Beyoncé Dance Album? Here’s 6 House Music Producers Who Would Thrive On “Renaissance”

It’s album release month for Beyoncé, and the world is waiting on bated breath. After all, Renaissance‘s lead single, “Break My Soul,” has already made history. Queen Bey is now the first ever woman to release 20 Top 10 hits as a solo artist as well as 10 as a member of a group.  Not to mention the house-minded rhythm and groove in “Break My Soul,” which samples a timeless dance anthem. With her previous albums, Beyoncé has counted artists like Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West as collaborators. And based on the creative direction Renaissance seems to be headed in, it’s fair to wonder whether or not house music producers are next up in her storied career. Here are six artists we think would slay on Beyoncé&#...

Honey Dijon May Have Catalyzed a “Beyoncé House Music Era”

“Yes, the music is coming!” promised Beyoncé in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar last year. Now, rumors are swirling that some of that music was produced by house music producer Honey Dijon.  This is all according to a tweet from Gregory Ellwood, a music journalist known for being, well, in the know about all things Queen Bey. Two of the tracks off her upcoming album, B7, were purportedly produced by Dijon.   While neither of the artists have publicly responded to these whispers, it’s no secret that these two icons are friends. Last year, for example, Dijon sent Beyoncé “kisses from Berlin” in a “Happy Birthday Beyoncé!” video produced by Apple Music.  “No idea about the actual sound…but holding out ...
