Marshmello has teased Joytime IV into oblivion. After confirming that a new album would be arriving in 2020—a drop that of course ended up not happening—Mello has once again teased the record, which at this point is becoming more of a fairytale than an actual release. Mello took to Twitter today, January 7th, to share another succinct yet punctual tweet to ignite the butterflies in the collective stomach of his avid fanbase. “hey my album is done,” he wrote. Back in September 2019, the masked dance and hip-hop music producer teased the fourth installment of his Joytime album series before doing so again in April 2020 by sharing the news that the record was “80% done.” Right before 2020 came to a close, Mello again teased the album ...
Back in August, Marshmello confirmed that a new album would be releasing in 2020. His fanbase lost its collective mind, feverishly anticipating its release as he dropped a string of one-off singles throughout the year. However, with only two days to go until Mello kisses 2020 goodbye, he seems unlikely to deliver on that promise. A recent tweet published by Marshmello has fans reading the tea leaves again. Replying directly to a fan account who wrote that they missed him, Mello attributed his relatively quiet social media presence this year to his many hours spent in the studio. “I miss you all too!!!” he replied. “I’ve got so much new music coming though, that’s why I’ve been off social media for the most part.” Considering the immeasurable number o...

It’s a sad reality, but the impact of COVID-19 remains omnipresent and devastating. As the virus’ wrath rages on through the onset of winter, those in the live music industry must continue to navigate the new norms of the landscape, which only become more convoluted with each turn of the revolving door of coronavirus-related news. Ergo, many major music festival brands, such as Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival, have opted to livestream both new and archival content to connect with fans in the COVID-19 epoch. Summer Sonic organizers recently announced its second iteration of “Summer Sonic Highlights,” which broadcasts past performances from the festival. This time around, they will air shows from a slew of electronic music superstars, including Zedd, Calvin Harris...
If you’ve ever wanted to make changes to Marshmello‘s helmet, now’s your chance. After the success of his “Be Kind” video contest, the (not so) mysterious masked producer has once again teamed up with Adobe for a new fan competition. Kicking off today, the “Marshmello Helmet Remix Challenge” calls on Mello’s fans to create their own version of his signature puffy helmet using designs inspired by his new music. They’ll have to use Adobe’s stable of creativity apps, of course, like Spark, Fresco, or Photoshop. The winning designer will pocket $10,000 from Adobe, and their design will be incorporated into a real-life custom helmet signed by Marshmello. Adobe is also offering up a custom Photoshop Camera lens inspired b...
Seventeen-year-old hip-hop star the Kid LAROI has recruited the help of Marshmello for the deluxe re-release of his debut mixtape, F*CK LOVE (SAVAGE). On “FEEL SOMETHING,” the duo weave downtempo production with heartbreaking lyrics to paint an introspective tale of love and love lost. As with many of his hip-hop collaborations, the masked EDM heavyweight lays down a subtle yet well-crafted beat allowing the young rapper to take center stage. Fans were treated to seven bonus songs on the re-release of the ARIA Music Awards-nominated release. Impressively, Marshmello wasn’t the only high-profile artist featured on the mixtape. The mixtape also featured collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Mosey, and the late ...
Last year, Marshmello showed off his ludicrous $350,000 modified Ford Raptor, which was later dubbed the “Hennessy Velociraptor.” Earlier this week, however, his public display completely backfired when the truck was stolen from a dealership service bay and found itself in an incredibly anti-climactic car chase. The carjacking occurred around 6:30PM after Marshmello’s manager dropped the eyesore off at the dealership. The suspect allegedly approached the vehicle by bike, tossed his smaller ride in the back, and made off with the truck. Somehow, the monstrosity of a truck wasn’t seen again until 9:30PM, when police began to pursue the vehicle. Check out the clip of the (probably) record-breaking slowest car chase below. To be honest, we’re unsure how...
Marshmello is unpredictable, to say the least, but a new submission by the producer to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board may provide insight into the plans for his next venture. L’Oréal received pushback from the masked music producer over the company’s request to trademark “The Marsh Mellow” for a forthcoming makeup-related product. The opposition brief alleges L’Oréal is not only using the phonetic equivalent of Marshmello’s name, but states they are infringing on the artist’s natural zone of expansion covered by his own trademark. At this point you may be wondering how a dance music producer could claim that a makeup brand is infringing on his business. The two industries are entirely unrelated. That’s where things get in...
After absolutely rocking the scene with his single “Rain” earlier this month, Papa Khan is ready to ride the wave of its success straight into his new BLOSSOM EP, which is due for release on November 6th. The upcoming record from the Indonesian prodigy has found a home on Marshmello‘s JoyTime Collective. If the new EP is anything like the work we’ve heard from Papa Khan thus far, fans are in for a treat. He has proven himself a technical wizard when it comes to creating unique bass music sound design, which encompasses a plethora of electronic sub-genre such as future riddim, dubstep, and future bass. He’s a fresh face who is on a straight trajectory to the top. So far this year, Papa Khan has had a steady stream of releases, includin...
Over the weekend, Marshmello joined forces with Usher and Imanbek for their collaboration, “Too Much.” In an effort to help fans dive even deeper into the world created by the three artists, they have now released a new story-driven music video that sends Usher on a journey to save a friend in distress. After an encounter with evildoers driving what looks to be the tenth generation of Elon Musk‘s Cybertruck, Usher dons a pair of neon glasses that give him control of a robotic Marshmello and sets out to save his friend. What follows is a futuristic montage sending our hero to an evil research facility and to what appears to be a cyberpunk fight club. With high production values and a AAA star, the action-packed video provides a fun visual companion to the upbeat single.&nb...
When Imanbek released his remix of SAINt JHN‘s “Roses” in late 2019, never in his wildest dreams did he think it would lead to this. Riding on the sizzling coattails of his multi-platinum global hit, the Kazakh producer has joined forces with Marshmello for a new single called “Too Much,” which features fabled R&B artist Usher. Arriving by way of RCA Records, the track picks up right where Imanbek’s summer 2020 landmark tune left off. With a similar house-pop hybrid structure, it is essentially the “Roses” remix on steroids, inflated by the horsepower of Marshmello and Usher. The vocal effort from the latter is nothing short of stellar, lending to a surefire radio hit. Usher is no stranger to the dance music world. He ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been an especially trying time for the world’s most historic venues, which are facing extinction due to live music coming to a standstill. Enter Save Our Stages music festival, a new project constructed by the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) in partnership with YouTube with a mission to combat these closures. The organization brought together some of the biggest names in music to take over 25 unique venues across the US for a special livestream event that took place October 16th to 18th. Marshmello and Demi Lovato took the stage at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles—a venue that found itself in danger of permanent closure following the onset of the pandemic. There they showcased their new single ...
