Elohim and MEMBA Team Up for New Dancefloor Heater, “Mirrors”
Elohim and MEMBA have teamed up for a new collab, “Mirrors,” a dancefloor heater with a hypnotic blend of swirling synths and distorted sound design. “Mirrors” encapsulates an introspective ethos as Elohim and MEMBA challenge their inner selves and images against reality. The track’s visualizer further illustrates this theme via a trippy audiovisual with contorting images of rave scenes. “When I wrote ‘Mirrors’ I was picturing a dialogue with a different version of myself,” Elohim said in a press statement. “Talking to her, shaking her up, and telling her to wake up. It always feels like a trip when I’m speaking with my inner self, then flash—back to reality like I’m coming down off medication.” “For us, ‘Mir...
Tails and Benji Lewis Connect for Intimate Indie Dance Single, “is that ok?”

Tails’ production throughout the climax, on the other hand, is uplifting as nostalgic atmospheres and groovy percussion take over. Take a listen to “hope that’s ok?” below. Scr...

Blending dance music and indie-pop to stunning effect, Paper Idol has dropped his debut album, The Playground. Out now via CloudKid, The Playground chronicles the many phases of childhood through eight funky and nostalgic indietronica tracks. “It’s Boyhood the album,” Idol said in a statement.

But we often forget there was a time when we were just ‘being,’ soaki...
The Glitch Mob Reconnect With Early Rave Influences On Fourth Album, “CTRL ALT REALITY”
With their fourth studio album, CTRL ALT REALITY, The Glitch Mob are resetting expectations. The tenured electronic trio have always been very deliberate with their creative output. So when they returned with the announcement of their first album since 2018’s See Without Eyes, there was an immediate interest in how their latest chapter would unfold. The band spurred even more intrigue when they offered up a rather conceptual creative thesis. “This next chapter in our artistry is intended to get back to the music, the movement, the dance, the connection of body & sound,” the group tweeted in September. “We are here to provide an audio experience you feel deep in your soul.” As with their prior long-form projects, it’s apparent that t...

Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles The new single arrives amid a huge year for Flux, who recently dropped a deeply meaningful record called “I’m Delighted.” It was the first posthumous song released after the death of dubstep star Cookie Monsta, a close friend and collaborator who...

Mason Talbot Drops Soulful House Anthem, “Lookin’ For”
In the midst of a breakout year, Mason Talbot has poured gasoline on the hype with a stunning new single, “Lookin’ For.” It’s easy to hear why renowned house music producers like MK, Hannah Wants and Lee Foss have been supporting the young beatsmith. “Lookin’ For” is minimal in nature, but resounding in its arrangement and sound design. It’s soulful house music at its finest, bursting at its seams with radiant U.K. influences and visceral sound design. It’s easy to get hypnotized by the track’s bluesy vocals at first listen, but its real pièce de résistance is its bassline. Talbot produces a thick low end here, one that you can feel in your bones as it runs roughshod through thumping drums. It all points to yet another scintillati...
