Bingo Players Releases Infectious New Single With Ida Corr, “I Know This Club”
Bingo Players has been capitalizing on the increased downtime over the past few months. The Dutch dance music legend has released seven singles since the beginning of the year, including a 2020 refresh of his 2009 anthem “Devotion.” Today, he’s delivered a catchy new single with Ida Corr dubbed “I Know This Club,” out via Spinnin’ Records. “I Know This Club” is an energizing charmer that that has us longing to reunite on the dancefloor. Corr’s soulful vocals and upbeat lyrics are the perfect match to the bouncy beat cooked up by Bingo Players. The tune recaps her experiences on a night out and mirrors that glorious day we can all dance long into the night once again. While club-ready tracks may add to the FOMO we’v...
Richie Hawtin Drops Mesmerizing New EP “Time Warps”
The king of minimalism has returned for his first dance-floor focused EP in 21 years. Richie Hawtin has officially dropped Time Warps, the two-track EP and inaugural release from From Our Minds, the new sub-label of Plus 8 Records. Hawtin is kicking off the new imprint with a bang because Time Warps is truly mesmerizing. Even though it spans only two tracks, it comes in at over 35 minutes, with each moment more hypnotic than the last. Let the minimalistic soundscapes cleanse your mind with deep, dark techno. Along with the release comes a video made with frequent collaborator Barbara Kelin. “As we went into lockdown and the noise of constant touring faded, time opened up in a unique way, Hawtin said of the inspiration behind the new music in a social p...
Headhunterz Shares Preview of Upcoming Official Remix of Illenium’s “Paper Thin”
Illenium‘s “Paper Thin” remix pack is set to grow stronger with the addition of a forthcoming new spin from Headhunterz. The hardstyle tastemaker took to Twitter to share the news and a brief preview, which has our anticipation built up high for release day. While the teaser denies us the satisfaction of a stampeding hardstyle drop (for now), all indicators say Headhunterz is injecting some dark contrast into Illenium’s melodic dubstep original. Headhunterz knows how to build up for a big entrance, riffing on Illenium’s melodic groundwork with a series of siren-like synths as the song builds. Tom DeLonge‘s vocals echo omnipresently in the background as the song melts into an abrupt cutoff, leaving us on edge. Headhunterz’s rem...
Eazley Drops Hard-Hitting New Single “Babylon Weak”
Dubstep fans are receiving a new headbanger to get them through the next leg of lockdown, and it comes from rising act Eazley. Today he’s unveiled “Babylon Weak”—his new single that is not for the faint of heart— via WaterShip Rec’s. The track sees the blossoming electronic music producer drawing inspiration from his time in Hawaii during quarantine, which he infuses into his aggressive bass stylings. “Baylon Weak” opens with a slow and steady approach, but don’t get too comfortable. He keeps his fans on their toes when he introduces the depravity of the drop. It’s the right blend of angst and chill that makes for easy home listening now that riding the rails is off the table. Eazley is a graduate of Icon Collective, the Los Angele...
Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc Deliver Retro Remix of David Guetta and Sia’s “Let’s Love”
David Guetta has spent the majority of 2020 refining his electrifying “future rave” sound with MORTEN. In September, he switched gears to release his wildly popular synthwave single with Sia, “Let’s Love.” Their collaborative effort has now received the remix treatment from Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc. Vintage Culture and Fancy Inc have embodied some of David Guetta and MORTEN’s patented “future rave” sound with their remix of “Let’s Love” all while still managing to inject each of their unique styles into the track. Sia’s unmistakable voice remains untouched as the Brazilian producers have stripped the original tune of its synthwave feel for something more minimalistic. However, their remix still expertly evok...

SM1LO and Rich DietZ Floor the Gas Pedal With Tech House Thumper, “Bentley Coupe”
We’ve heard the old adage of turning water into wine, but what about turning your mom’s bathtub into a swimming pool? SM1LO and Rich DietZ are on a quest to redefine the expression with their new single, “Bentley Coupe.” The track hits hard in both its production and in its comedic flair, flooring the gas pedal to create the ultimate feel-good bop with positive messaging during a time when we all need it most. “Bentley Coupe” is one of those songs that will stay stuck in your head long after it’s over, with punchy synths, booming bass, and roaring sirens. Behind the hilarious lyrics, which harken to transforming your “father’s truck into a Bentley Coupe,” is the optimistic outlook of believing in one’s dreams. SM1...
Breakout British Artist Tiggi Hawke Drops Emotive New Single, “High Season”
After embarking on her singer-songwriter career at the age of just 15, London-born artist Tiggi Hawke has evolved past her softly resonating melodic roots into a breakout creator. Today, her sound revolves around intensely personal lyrics and creative blends of pop and electronic music, best demonstrated by her deep house-inspired June release, “Electric Sun. With her most recent track, “High Season,” released on November 27th, Hawke continues in the electronic-centric style of “Electric Sun.” This time, however, she dives into the depths of bass music. Hawke’s sugary sweet vocals draw a sharp, compelling contrast to the single’s heavy, intensity-building downbeats and explosive drops. The blossoming Hawke described “High Season” b...

In 2015, Flux released his most recent album, Tesla. His fans will be delighted to know that nearly six years later, the renowned producer’s next album is finally arriving. In a tweet posted today, Flux announced that his long-anticipated album .wav is finally on its way.

phonon Drops Wild 7-Minute Track “EMME” on Halcyon
Oolacile‘s new Halcyon imprint was conceived with the notion of pushing boundaries and propelling the sound of bass music into the future. So it’s no coincidence that one of bass music’s most intriguing producers, phonon, has been a part of the label from the start. After his divisive yet undoubtedly fresh offering “polyriddim,” phonon set his sights even higher with “conic sections,” his Halcyon debut. Hailed as the “Dream Theater of Dubstep” by Oolacile himself, phonon has returned to Halcyon with a brand new, wild offering that’s sure to stir up even more noise. There aren’t really any clear-cut or concise ways to describe “emme,” phonon’s latest single. It’s a seven-minute trip through ...
