The new video reminds us of the power of electronic music in a live setting.

3OH!3 Make Triumphant Return On 100 gecs Collaboration, “Lonely Machines”
The track marks 3OH!3’s first release since 2016’s “NIGHT SPORTS” album. 2020 just keeps throwing curveballs, the latest of which is the return of 3OH!3 with their first single in four years. The “DON’T TRUST ME” artists teamed up with electronic duo 100 gecs for a new single called “Lonely Machines,” an experimental tune by every measure that still manages to feel reminiscent of 3OH!3’s earliest hits. The instrumental is in-your-face and unpredictable, anchored down only by the consistency of a souped-up, acid-tinged bassline. The single concludes amid a chaotic instrumental breakdown of frenzied synths and heavily distorted vocals, a fitting end for the artists who found themselves at the cutting edge of electron...

DROELOE Delivers Blissful Anthology Album “A Matter Of Perspective” in Wake of Split

Afrojack Reignites Kapuchon Alias with New Single “10 Years Later”
Kapuchon will serve as an escape from the pressure of commercial success for Afrojack. Although Afrojack has remained a dominant presence in dance music over the past decade, some may have forgotten about the side project he launched a little over ten years ago. Today he’s reignited his Kapuchon alias for “10 Years Later,” the first release on his brand new Kapuchon Records imprint. “10 Years Later” is a total departure from what fans expect from Afrojack and only somewhat similar to his collab with Benny Rodrigues from 2009.
