Abraxis Impresses Yet Again with Passionate Psytrance Smash “Half Of It”
Seven Lions and Dimibo‘s collaborative project Abraxis has released their latest single “Half Of It” via the former’s Ophelia Records label. “Half Of It” is a vocal-laden psytrance smash that highlights the production versatility of Abraxis. Opening slowly with passionate vocals crooning for one more chance, the production quickly begins to reflect the agony stated in the lyrics. The track then enters a stripped-down build-up, dropping into a pounding bassline with plucky synths. While “Half Of It” may only be Abraxis’s third release, it continues to present their vision clearly and will have any fan of Seven Lions, Dimibo, or the supergroup excited for what’s to come. Abraxis is the brainchild of melodic dubstep p...
Riot Ten Unveils “Hype Or Die: Emergence” EP on Dim Mak
The bass music titan known as Riot Ten has emerged from quarantine to present his following with a call to action: get hype or die. The new 7-track EP, titled Hype Or Die: Emergence, incorporates elements of hardstyle, future bass, Latin instrumentation, and more, all wrapped up neatly with his classic dubstep drops. It’s his first multi-track release since his debut studio album Hype Or Die: Nightmares. Last month, EDM.com caught up with Riot Ten, who shared that we’re “going to hear some of the heaviest music [he’s] ever produced.” Turns out, he wasn’t lying. Featured on the record are previous releases “Ultimate” with Shaquille O’Neal and T-Wayne, and “Save You” with Whales and Megan Stokes. The n...
MK Breathes New Life Into Hosh and 1979’s “Midnight (feat. Jalja)”
It’s safe to assume Suzanne Collins, the creator of The Hunger Games, could not have imagined the lasting impact her song “The Hanging Tree” would have on the music industry. After Jennifer Lawrence made headlines landing the No. 2 spot on the iTunes song chart back in 2014, countless producers decided to put their own spin on it. Earlier this year, it was brought back to the top of the charts through HOSH and 1979‘s rework “Midnight (The Hanging Tree)” featuring Jalja, and now MK is here to do it again. MK follows the original’s melodic house structure, but brightens it up with faster piano chords, bouncy drums, and vocal chops. This remix also comes at a poignant time in our nation’s history, making this drop seemingly inten...
Tchami Speaks About His Creative Process Behind Production for Lady Gaga on “Chromatica”
It seems that French EDM superstar Tchami has no plans of slowing down. His bass house revolution has been ongoing for years now, and he’s now even broken into the mainstream. After working with pop queen Lady Gaga on her 2013 release “Applause,” Tchami collaborated with Gaga once again on her latest studio album, Chromatica. Tchami is credited as a producer on the Chromatica cut “Rain On Me,” a collaboration with Ariana Grande. His French house-inspired take on the production has already drawn comparisons to the mighty Daft Punk, but Tchami’s touch is unmistakable. “You want to create a musical piece that fits the artist aesthetic while also representing him or her at a specific point in time,” Tchami told...
Joy Club Drop Empowering Music Video for “In the Night” to Celebrate Pride Month
Dance pop duo Joy Club have unveiled the official music video for their debut single “In the Night,” a blithe audiovisual homage to the LGBTQ community. Joy Club, a new electronic act consisting of Nathan Cross of Grammy Award-nominated production outfit Meduza and James Watts, released “In the Night” back in March 2020. Directed by Sam Douek, the music video, which features proud members of the LGBTQ community dancing in front of playfully kaleidoscopic backdrops, is a vibrant and potent ode to Pride Month. The mirthful and empowering video features Blu Hydrangea, who appeared as a contestant on the first season of celebrated reality television series RuPaul’s Drag Race, as well as many of the dancers and drag queens from Dalston Supe...
Four Iconic Doctor P Tracks Get the 2020 Remix Treatment
The name Doctor P is synonymous with classic dubstep, as the veteran producer and DJ has been providing some of the most memorable bass-heavy releases for over a decade. Now, some of his most iconic releases have received the remix treatment from some of bass music’s finest. “Flying Spaghetti Monster” may be one of Doctor P’s most recognizable offerings. Fellow dubstep mainstay Spag Heddy offers a perfectly reimagined remix of the track, keeping it heavy and energetic while giving the tune a 2020 update. The producer’s moniker also cleverly lends itself to the noodle theme. Bebi‘s take on “Rekt Together” brings a melodic flavor that blends modern future bass with old school dubstep. Infectiously tantalizing, Bebi’s...
Eric Prydz Announces New Cirez D Vinyl Release
Eric Prydz never sleeps. Whether under his main alias, his more proggy Pryda pseudonym, or the techno-oriented Cirez D, the man is essentially a production machine. Fans of the Cirez D project will be elated to know that a brand new vinyl is on the way from Prydz. “Valborg” was previously released digitally in May, after Drumcode boss Adam Beyer shared a recording from when he played back-to-back with Prydz at last year’s Creamfields. Now, the single will see its vinyl release on July 3rd, which should delight audiophiles looking to add some new techno to their libraries. The single’s B-side is called “The Raid,” which was also released alongside “Valborg” in May. Both tracks boast a progressive and nearly...
Besomorph Unveils Ominous Melodic Trap Cut “84 (feat. Salvo)”
Besomorph has without a doubt been working as hard as ever this year, outdoing himself with each new release. Following the release of his electronic-indie gem “Six Feet Deep” with vocalist duo Neoni, the German producer is back with yet another tasteful cut, teaming up with Salvo on “84.” Out via Nightblue Music and Magic Records, “84” hints back to Besomorph’s earlier releases and truly showcases his ability to craft dark and ominous tunes. An electronic ballad, the single starts off with a captivating atmosphere and trap-inspired percussion under Salvo’s heavenly vocal performance. The drop offers an exciting contrast, exploding into a combination of gritty bass, eerie arpeggios, and vocal harmonies. “This song came straight out of our hearts, reflecting a dark experience that most of u...

Nostalgix Unveils Nasty House Jam “Spice Girl” [Premiere]
90’s kids: whip out the Capri Sun, dump it into your morning coffee, and blast the newest single from house producer Nostalgix, who has dropped the curtain on her new single “Spice Girl.” While the track doesn’t sample the Spice Girls, it serves as an electrifying ode to the iconic 90s pop group with its spunky, intoxicating vocal refrain that urges listeners to “roll the dice.” With its seductive and forward-thinking sound design, “Spice Girl” represents a nasty house offering from the Vancouver-based young gun, who has been making serious noise in the genre over the course of the last year. “Spice Girl” expertly tightropes the line between filthy and groovy, as Nostalgix produces quirky, metallic bass patches and punchy drums, w...
Grammy Award-Winning Rock Band Wolfmother Goes EDM in New Single “High On My Own Supply”
Swapping finger picks with future bass, Australian rockers Wolfmother recently unveiled their new single “High On My Own Supply.” The track represents a stark contrast from the award-winning band’s celebrated catalog of hard rock and metal, which was amassed by its prolific frontman and only continuous member, Andrew Stockdale. Considering it represents the first time Wolfmother has deviated from their rock roots, the fact that fans have largely disapproved of “High On My Own Supply” does not take away from its brilliance. The track is a soaring future bass effort that takes a page out of MGMT‘s quirky, kaleidoscopic playbook, utilizing euphoric synths and vocal chops in its intoxicating chorus. The new single should open up a n...
GLD and GEO Join Forces for Raucous Rave Tune “Do It Like This”
Bass music duo GLD have teamed up with hardstyle producer GEO for “Do It Like This,” a raucous rave tune that arrived yesterday on New Noise, an imprint under the umbrella of Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak Records. PSA: this single is not for the faint of heart. With its hyper-house backbone and laser-laden psytrance influences, “Do It Like This” is downright relentless. At a blistering 172 BPM, the single is a whirling centrifuge of vicious bass elements and kinetic sound design, both of which belong under the cavernous night sky of a bass music festival. GLD and GEO do a fine job with the break here, utilizing eerie arpeggios and marching snare patterns, which build and eventually culminate in a merciless second drop. However, the triad of talent go in ...
