Deorro Drops Long-Awaited Single “Beso”
The year was 2014. Life was much less complicated and Deorro was sending fans into a tizzy with a sexy new ID. Six years later, that ID is out and it goes by “Beso.” The reasoning behind the release taking so long is a true comedy of errors. The esteemed producer shared on Twitter that he had lost the project file and managed to miraculously revive it, making this release that much more special. “i eventually found it on an old mac, that computer was nearly impossible to start up, i had to connect directly to the memory, but even that wasn’t working right,” Deorro wrote. “little by little i grabbed all the files and samples necessary to have what i needed to put it back together again.” “Beso” showcases Deorro’s signature, high-energy b...

Kumarion Releases VIP Edit of Breakthrough Bass Single “Want It” Ahead of Remix EP [Q&A]
Earlier today, Kumarion debuted his VIP edit of “Want It,” his 2020 hit that put the blossoming electronic music producer on the map. The edit is the first promotional release ahead of the Want It – Remixes EP, which celebrates one of the year’s top trap tracks and reanimates the excitement behind Kumarion. Born in Seattle, Kumarion’s music career took shape after becoming enraptured with the drum & bass genre in 2011. Exposed through the punk and reggae scenes, he found admiration in the culture as well as the chaotic styles of dub and jungle music. He began making dark, melodic music on his own, subsequently forging his current moniker, Kumarion, in 2015. “Want It” stole the show during the abrupt 2020 festival season, earning co-signs from Boombox Cartel,...
Listen to Rusko’s “Sauce” EP, First Release of 2020
The long wait is over for new music from Rusko. Since dropping his Genghis Danger EP in 2019, the iconic dubstep trailblazer has been relatively silent. That changed today with Rusko’s Sauce EP, his debut on the Wakaan imprint. Sauce is Rusko through and through. The old school flavor that the producer is so well known for is apparent, as always, but so is his ability to keep things fresh. The EP is certainly a callback to classic dubstep, but has all of the forward-thinking elements that have constantly evolved the Rusko sound. “Carrot Cake” opens the release with dub reggae-infused wobbles in the classic Rusko style. Following it is “Ecstasy Dreamland,” a near-180 from the EP opener that lives up to its name with futuristic elements and chord stabs...
Rome in Silver Delivers Haunting Remix of Biicla’s “No Place”
Biicla‘s short time in the dance music scene has been nothing short of excellent, to say the least. Earlier this year, he released his debut album No Place, as well as remixed Zeds Dead and DROELOE‘s “Stars Tonight.” Today, Biicla has tapped Rome in Silver for a haunting remix of “No Place.” Rome in Silver’s delicate touch is exactly what “No Place” needed. His remix feels like an extension of the original, chilling things out while still adding plenty of new elements. The vocal has been subdued and blended in with the faint piano chords and booming kicks while the drop has been completely transformed into an ethereal moment. Rome in Silver’s remix of “No Place” highlights the intricate qualities in the origi...

Whethan Breaks Down Every Track from His Debut Album “Fantasy,” Out Today [Exclusive]
As of today, Whethan‘s fans can now rest easy, knowing the long-anticipated release of his debut album has finally come to fruition. Out today via Atlantic Records, FANTASY is the type of album you didn’t even know you were missing until it arrived, making it well worth the nearly yearlong wait we’ve endured since its announcement. Comprised of 15 tracks of pure fun, FANTASY acutely blends Whethan’s quirky avant-electronica sound with the perfect punch of retro pop and rock undertones, making it the perfect display of talent and creativity for the young producer. Each song comes paired with its own visualizer, lyric video or music video, released this morning via YouTube. From the infectiously happy sounds of “Clouds” featuring The W...

Adventure Club Return With Emotive New Single, “Broken Love” [Premiere]
Power duo Adventure Club have been hard at work in the studio over the past year, cranking out a litany of impressive new singles and collaborations. Their recent works, including “Where We Are” with Bear Grillz and JT Roach and “High Like This (feat. Squired and Dia Frampton)” have fans craving even more from the pair. Now, they’ve returned with yet another emotive melodic bass release.

Ray Volpe Returns to Never Say Die with “Insane” and “Turbo Kid” [Premiere]
Ray Volpe is hellbent on world domination as of late. With a new single on Excision‘s Subsidia imprint and a recent four-track release on Disciple, it seems that he’s at the top of his game. Returning to Never Say Die with a dual single release, Volpe is now out to prove that statement as a fact. “Insane (feat. fknsyd)” and “Turbo Kid” are two new multidimensional cuts from Ray Volpe, each one showing a different facet of his production prowess. “Insane” boasts a dark and dreamy melodic section, elevated by fknsyd’s vocal work. When the drop hits, screeching stabs and a powerful sub-bass patch provide a landscape that sits somewhere between riddim and trap, and high in the ranks of Volpe’s finest works. “...
What So Not Surprises Fans With Nasty “Same Mistakes” Flip
After emerging from an eight-month hiatus, What So Not has dropped a completely random, blistering flip of his single “Same Mistakes. Stripping the track of its vocals, which were provided by Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns, What So Not shared a nasty instrumental edit via SoundCloud today. It’s not very long, but it has a ferocious yet minimalistic feel that could serve as a taste of what he has in store in 2021. Back in February 2020, the Australian electronic music virtuoso announced that he was taking a step back from the scene. “I want to pull myself out of the ‘routine’ of it all and make sure everything I do is 110%,” he wrote. He then suddenly resurfaced on October 7th with an Instagram video wherein he previews an unrelease...
LZ7 Drops Spellbinding Music Video for “Won’t Run Out”
In a spellbinding visual display, English electronic music group LZ7 have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “Won’t Run Out.” The single, which follows the success of their 2019 album These Are The Days, arrived earlier in the month of October. The spellbinding video serves as a fantastic accompaniment to the single, which is a haunting house and pop hybrid. At a kinetic 128 BPM, “Won’t Run Out” strikes a more melodic chord than its rhythmic counterparts in the EDM world, most of which are rooted in club-oriented house music. Those mesmeric undercurrents are mirrored in the intoxicating music video, which LZ7 debuted today. Check out the “Won’t Run Out” video in full below. LZ7 brought all the stop...

Set to appear on Music Is The Weapon are French Montana, J Balvin, Anitta, Nicki Minaj, and Grammy Award-winning artist Alessia Cara, who features on the album’s kickoff track, “Hell and High Water.” Also appearing on three songs is Beam, perhaps best known to dance music fans for his massive feature on Skrillex‘s “Mumbai Power.” Major Lazer also recently announced a drive-in concert tour to support Music Is The Weapon, which will launch on the same day the album drops in Riverside, Ca...
Slow Magic Announces Fourth Studio Album With Lead Track “Carry On”
Shortly succeeding his Closer 2 U EP on Moving Castle, Slow Magic is returning with a new full-length album, it’s the end of the world, but it’s ok. While the full record will not be unveiled until December 9th, Slow Magic has teased that it will explore motifs of uncertainty, community, resilience, and communication. To satiate listeners’ appetites until the full release, Slow Magic has teamed up with Paperwhite for his lead single, “Carry On.” It’s been said that music heals the soul, and “Carry On” is an empowering anthem that is an honest testament to trying times. Slow Magic’s uplifting synths and drum patterns pair with Paperwhite’s dreamy singing to create a spirit-lifting hit that lives within the electronic and...
Watch Dillon Francis Pump Iron and Juggle Pineapples in His “Bored In The House” Remix Video
One unanimous feeling quarantine has brought us all is boredom. Tyga and Curtis Roach summed up the phenomenon perfectly with their viral hit “Bored In The House,” creating the anthem we didn’t know we needed for all those days stuck looking at a wall. Seven months later and the track still rings true, but now it has gotten a special EDM remix and a hilarious music video from Dillon Francis that should hold us over for the dreaded next leg of lockdown. Francis takes the original hook and transforms it by pitching it down and lacing it over a bouncy house rhythm. The accompanying music video shows the producer doing just about anything to pass the time, including miming and playing cards with his longtime pal Gerald. Turn this track on and have yourself a private dan...
