GLD Unveil Infectious Future Bass Ballad “Mad, Cause I’m Right”
Let’s be honest—no matter how much undying love you and your rave bae have for each other, you fight sometimes despite being closer than peanut butter and jelly. GLD‘s latest release, “Mad, Cause I’m Right,” isn’t for the couples that work things out, though. It’s for those that are no longer lovebirds. The track, which arrived by way of Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records, has all the makings of a sad boy anthem with heartbreak-themed lyrics, aching future bass chord progressions, and an infectious hook. Mattie, one-half of GLD, vocalizes the all-too familiar-feeling of arguing in circles with your significant other and the heartbreak that ensues. The track’s vocals have a unique feel akin to a Juice WRLD ballad, tugging at t...
R3HAB and LAY Drop Scorching Remix of “BOOM”
For his latest track, R3HAB teamed up with the international pop sensation LAY for a remix of his single “BOOM” off of his record-breaking album, LIT. Unlike many pop remixes, LAY himself was a part of the production process and co-wrote the song with a number of collaborators. Combining the bilingual vocals from the original with R3HAB’s mainstage sound creates a feel-good progressive house tune perfect for those late-summer days at the beach. Citing influence from reggaeton and Latin music, the duo’s collaborative remix sees both artists create an infectious amalgam that’s accessible to fans of nearly any genre. “I really enjoyed collaborating with R3HAB on this occasion and we really just tried to have fun with it,” LAY told EDM.c...
Fresh Off EP Release, Moore Kismet Returns With Banging New Single “Drift”
Moore Kismet has a need for speed—when it comes to releasing new music, that is. Released September 11th, “Drift” featuring Bajillionaire is the latest from the 15-year-old prodigy, who released their Revenge of the Unicorns EP just last month. This new single, out via Bassrush Records, is an innovative addition to the artist’s discography, using new production techniques unveiled in ROTU to emote the scattered feelings involved in troubling relationships, which Bajillionaire vocalizes through the song’s lyrics. “Drift” is also a surprising blend of trap-influenced synths and bass notes with these new techniques. It makes for a softer kind of head-banger, bringing the heat with hard-hitting downbeats while inviting the listener to follow along with...

Big Gigantic have turned over the keys to their recent album Free Your Mind, entrusting a diverse lineup of genre-bending producers to deliver a new spin on their seventh full-length studio record.

Flux Pavilion Teases New Track Rumored to Be from Upcoming Album
A little over a month after the release of his latest single, “Sink Your Teeth In” with Drowsy, Flux Pavilion is back with a teaser of his next tune. Flux took to Twitter to share a video with nothing but wave and speaker emojis and a brief look at what’s to come. In the short teaser clip, viewers can hear a portion of a still-unidentified vocalist’s tale of heartbreak. Although there’s just a little semblance of keys and drums in the snippet, the track seems to have the workings of another one of the dubstep trailblazer’s more melodic, vocal-filled classics. Both “Sink Your Teeth In” and the teased release are rumored to be featured on Flux Pavilion’s upcoming album. Earlier in the week, he detailed the record’s debut a...

TheFatRat On YouTube Copyright, Forthcoming Album, and Collaborating with K-Pop Star AleXa [Interview]
After initially writing and producing his latest single “Rule The World,” TheFatRat was actively searching for a vocalist for half a year. He wanted to recruit a person who could not only sing the song he envisioned in his mind, but also fit artistically. During his search, he found AleXa, the winner of the “Next Artist Award” at the Soridaba Best K-Music Awards, one of the biggest musical award shows in Korea. AleXa is considered to be one of K-Pop’s most exciting breakout artists. When TheFatRat discovered her, he noticed their similar creative visions with how they immerse fans into futuristic, sci-fi worlds. He reached out to her to collaborate, and the rest was history. While this collaboration is a fresh pairing, TheFatRat is no stranger to K-Pop. Although he ...
David Guetta and Sia Unveil 80’s-Inspired Synthwave Track “Let’s Love”
The dream team of David Guetta and Sia are back with yet another collaboration, “Let’s Love.” Fans hoping for a “Titanium”-type house anthem will have to table their anticipation for now, as the duo opted to create an 80s synthwave jam to inspire the masses during dark times. It’s been nine years since “Titanium” came out, but its ingenious creators haven’t lost a step. Taking a page out of The Weeknd‘s book a-la “Blindling Lights,” Guetta and Sia have noticed the increasingly robust synthwave culture and capitalized on its rising popularity. “Let’s Love” features a prominent retro-inspired keyboard riff from Guetta, which melds with Sia’s typically stentorian vocal flavors to offer up...
