Out August 14th via Never Say Die Records, “Revenge of the Unicorns” will be the producer’s third EP. For the average 15-year-old, life is still pretty simple. They might pass their time on TikTok, learn how to drive a car, or get a low stakes after-school job. For prodigal producer Moore Kismet, their day-to-day isn’t all that different—just add playing high-profile livestream concerts, traveling for gigs, and consistently making trailblazing music. This week, the artist can also tack on the release of their third EP, Revenge of the Unicorns. Out Friday, August 14th via Never Say Die, the six-track EP includes the previously released “Flair,” featuring Momma Kismet, their mother, “Adore” with Leotrix and “Duplex” with V...

Hairitage Puts the Pedal to the Metal on New “Freeway” EP
Buckle up for this one. Hairitage is driving over the speed limit on his latest EP Freeway, so buckle up. The Oregon-based DJ and producer has dropped the 5-track EP on Kannibalen Records, and he holds nothing back. After label heads Black Tiger Sex Machine supported his music heavily on tour, one single had fans yearning for more, and thus “Freeway,” the record’s title track, was released into the bass music ether. The rail-breaking production was followed by two equally guttural tracks, the hip-hop inspired “Whiplash” featuring Born I and “Hustle.” Fans are now receiving two new singles, “I Got That” and “Break In,” each with the potential to break your speakers. Since dropping “Resistance,...

This piece of melodic electro feels like a nostalgic hug.

The hypnotic production conjures up the emotion felt post-rave when you are laying with a loved one and reminiscing. The intoxicating synth work paired with D’Agostino’s lush vocals feels like a time warp back to the days of old deadmau5 hits. It’s a welcoming sense of nostalgia while still remaining unique. Since joining the mau5trap family back in 2017, EDDIE has ma...

DJ Produces Hilarious Trap Remix of Ben Shapiro’s Viral Reading of Cardi B’s “WAP” Lyrics
iMarkKeyz is the same DJ who went viral for remixing Cardi’s notorious coronavirus rant earlier in 2020. In the immediate aftermath of the release of Cardi B‘s Megan Thee Stallion-assisted song “WAP,” the single polarized the music industry due to its raunchy and controversial lyrics. As parodies and reaction videos came pouring in, dumping gasoline on a song that was already intrinsically viral, one stood out—a commentary from conservative political pundit Ben Shapiro. The political commentator recently aired an episode of his self-titled podcast and live radio show, The Ben Shapiro Show, in which he recited the lyrics in a deadpan manner before condemning them for their vulgarity. A DJ and producer named iMarkKeyz has now recorded Shapiro’s re...
Tchami Remixes Justin Martin’s “Stay” Into Tech-Funk House Thumper
“Stay” is from Martin’s newly minted What To Do label. Future house boss Tchami stepped in to remix Justin Martin‘s recent single “Stay,” featuring Dalilah. “Stay” was Martin’s release this year from his newly minted What To Do label. Martin, a Dirtybird pioneer, diverged from his known wonky bass beats to launch the deep house imprint back in January. Tchami gives the song a lighter, upbeat house iteration, twisting the original track’s heavy bass with some funk. Amped percussion drives the familiar voice to a faster pace and higher octave. It’s a dance floor-perfected house track that rings true to Tchami’s signature energetic style. “My new label What To Do is all about exploring uncompromised creativity...

He produces warm, gooey future bass chords in the chorus, expertly interlacing them with frontman Dave Bayley‘s spellbinding vocal work. Thick, potent 808s also glide under his vocals in a masterstroke of melodic bass production. Along with Diplo’s remix came a re...
