GRiZ Previews Filthy Dubstep Collaboration with Boogie T
It’s been over a year since GRiZ and Boogie T‘s high-flying collaborative EP Supa Fly, but fans can breathe a sigh of relief because the two bass heavyweights are once again joining forces. The two artists, who are unparalleled in their ability to blend funk and dubstep, have an ID in the works that is an absolute beast of a bass tune. The track features the forward-thinking sound design that GRiZ exhibited in his fan favorite Subtronics collaboration “Griztronics” as well as vocals that represent signature elements of both artists styles, emanating reggae flavors and referencing the duo’s Supa Fly project. GRiZ recently took to Instagram to share a preview of the track, writing “THIS NEW [Boogie T] COLLAB IS EVERYTHING.” If that vernacul...
GLD and Grand Khai Join Forces for Future Bass Bop “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues)”
After releasing a pair of thunderous bass tunes in recent weeks, “Judgement Day” and the GEO collab “Do It Like This,” electronic duo GLD have returned with a melodic number. Once again arriving on Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records banner, the dubstep and trap twofer opted to swerve into the future bass alley, teaming up with gifted singer-songwriter Grand Khai for the poignant “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues).” Eschewing their typical use of blistering bass elements and booming 808s, GLD produce bouncy basslines and distorted vocal chops for a bubbly future pop tune. “I Loved You (Now I Have Trust Issues)” isn’t the first time GLD have linked up with Khai, who featured on the duo’s summer 2019 single ...
MYRNE Speaks to All the “Forbidden Lovers” with the First Single From His Upcoming EP
We’re living in a time in history where separation and isolation have become the new norm. It is also a time when laws that keep people from being with the ones they love still exist. Thus, there is no better opportunity than now for Singapore-based producer MYRNE to drop his new track “Forbidden Lovers,” a song that speaks to the physical and societal blockades that keep people apart. “‘Forbidden Lovers’ is a love song dedicated to lovers currently separated,” MYRNE tells EDM.com. “I got the idea while I was away on tour, enjoying a view of the sky – and asked my partner to send me a picture of the same. I definitely tried to keep things as simple as possible, for this was one of the first few songs I wrote in which my ...
Yearning for the Dancefloor? Give CAZZETTE’s Exclusive EDM.com Mix a Spin
If COVID-19 has taught the music community anything, it’s that you can take the person out of the rave, but you can’t take the rave out of the person. Such is the case with Swedish duo CAZZETTE, who have crafted a sun-kissed mix for EDM.com with exclusive material that they “cant wait to [play] on the real-life dance-floors.” Fresh off the release of their new single “Get On Wiw It,” CAZZETTE are diving headfirst into an exciting shift in sonics. Having recently gone independent, they teamed up with Cosmos Music, the leading indie label in the Nordics, and launched their own Magnetic Tape imprint. “Our latest track sets the path for a more house and tech-house oriented sound compared to our more pop-sounding catalog, which makes me f...

Listen to deadmau5’s Alias TESTPILOT’s Full Set from Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge Virtual Rave-a-Thon
While COVID-19 has made it difficult to enjoy live music without the use of drive-in theaters or socially distanced events, many artists and promoters have made the jump to the livestreaming world in an effort to deliver music to the masses. Not known for modest production, Insomniac naturally took things a step further and hosted entire virtual events complete with festival-grade lighting rigs and displays.

Armin van Buuren and Jamis Drop Festival-Ready Big Room Single “Boom Boom”
Trance legend Armin van Buuren has joined forces with Italian wunderkind Jamis for their explosive new collaboration “Boom Boom.” Perfect for those longing for the days of music festivals amid COVID-19, the track song immediately transports listeners to the main stage. Geared more towards those who prefer Armin’s newer tracks to his older, deeper cuts, the appropriately-titled tune immediately sets fire to the dancefloor with its drumline-inspired bass and classic big room styled synth. The result is a festival-ready anthem that will likely see some significant playtime when concerts (hopefully) resume in the near future. While this year’s events did not come to fruition, back when in-person music festivals were still going strong, “Boom B...

YehMe2 Celebrates Father’s Day with Music Video for “Childish” [Premiere]
The music video for YehMe2‘s latest single “Childish” dropped today, in celebration of Father’s Day. The new single and accompanying music video features YehMe2 spending a carefree day with his two sons, Lex and Ryder. YehMe2 dedicated the release “to all the dads out there who show up and give it their all.” The spritely single features playful crosstalk between the father of two and his boys before crescendoing synths transition into a chorus of colorful textures. The song’s lead embodies a pitch-bending quality that captures the feeling of a breezy summer day seemingly melting away in a flash. The video mirrors that sentiment as the three spend a memorable day at the park and on the beach as though time is no object. This is not the fi...

The syncopation of his drums is also somethi...
Rome in Silver and Bonnema Flip Classic Gorillaz Tune “Clint Eastwood” Into Midtempo Mayhem
It’s no easy feat to take on a Gorillaz track, which many can argue is perfect as is. However, Rome in Silver is here to prove that notion wrong with his flip of “Clint Eastwood.” To aid him on his journey, he’s enlisted the help of his roommate, fellow bass producer Bonnema. Rome is known for delivering the unexpected with his releases, consistenly keeping his fans on their toes. Will they get a drum & bass track? Or maybe a house or future bass hit? The answer to that question relative to his “Clint Eastwood” edit is none of the above. Rome In Silver has flexed his dark midtempo bass skills this time around, transforming the original while keeping Damon Albarn‘s classic voice as the centerfold while he and Bonnema unravel mind-...
The Avalanches are Digitizing and Converting a 1974 Broadcast Signal Into Music
A message that was first used in an attempt to contact intelligent life is now being turned into music. That’s right, if you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to clever sampling and creative audio to MIDI conversions, Australian electronic duo, The Avalanches, are about to take things a step further. It’s unknown whether Frank Drake, creator of the 1974 Arecibo Message, envisioned his work being turned into a song several decades later, but that is exactly what’s been teased in The Avalanches’ latest post. The astronomer and astrophysicist’s now-famous radio wave message was originally beamed to a star cluster 25,000 light-years away. The message contained basic information about humanity and planet Earth. At the time of t...
