G-Eazy Drops New Marshmello-Produced Track “Stan By Me”
Ahead of the release of his upcoming album Everything’s Strange Here, G-Eazy has reunited with Marshmello for the poolside singalong, “Stan By Me.” Released just one week after the debut single from the album, “Free Porn Cheap Drugs,” G-Eazy’s shift in style is very apparent. While his songs are traditionally rapped, his two newest releases see him show off his singing voice. Despite being produced by one of EDM’s biggest names, the track is not electronic in nature. The masked producer flaunts his production flexibility with a gentle, guitar-led groove intertwined with bubbly drums that can’t help but make you think of the beach. “Stan By Me” is not the first time these two artists have collaborated. Back...
Tchami Gives Fans Taste of Forthcoming Album with “Born Again” and “Buenos Aires”
CONFESSION head honcho Tchami has returned with two new heaters, “Born Again” and “Buenos Aires.” These singles are the latest look at his forthcoming debut album Year Zero. “Born Again” is a catchy dancefloor anthem that’s set to make its way around the festival circuit. The distorted vocal sample fits perfectly atop the minimalistic bassline and percussion, creating a true CONFESSION vibe. “Buenos Aires” amps up the energy with an even more infectious vocal sample that Tchami masterfully transforms into the melody of the tune, helping create a joyous feeling about the track. Undoubtedly, these two tracks will sate the cravings of longtime fans who have been patiently waiting for a full-length album from Tchami. Tchami has c...
Lady Gaga’s “Chromatica” Album is Finally Here, Featuring Production by Skrillex Axwell, Tchami, Madeon, and More
The long-awaited debut of Lady Gaga‘s sixth studio album Chromatica is finally here. It’s her first LP since 2016’s Joanne, and first new-music release since the soundtrack to 2018’s A Star Is Born. However, this new album feels to pick up where Born This Way left off, as a reboot to her deeply honest, unapologetically Gaga dance-pop ways. She masterfully crafted 16 tracks within 43 minutes with the help of some of dance music’s most skilled producers, including BloodPop®, Tchami, BURNS, Axwell, Madeon, Skrillex, among others. If you enter your Chromatica listening experience expecting merely dance-floor music, you are going to have a good time but will miss out on the true beauty Gaga has crafted for us. There̵...
Kygo Unveils Third Studio Album, “Golden Hour”
Three years after the release of his sophomore album Kids In Love, Kygo has now released his third LP, Golden Hour. Golden Hour is signature Kygo, structured heavily upon whimsical intros, vocal slices, and a tropical feel. The Norwegian super-producer taps loads of talent on his 18-track album, including Zac Brown, OneRepublic, Oh Wonder, and many more. “Broken Glass” with Kim Petras is easily one of the catchiest songs on the LP, perfectly crafted with crisp snaps and energizing lyrics. His previously released collaboration with Sasha Sloan, “I’ll Wait,” will surely be his latest anthem to take over airwaves in the coming weeks. While Kygo’s signature sound has become unmistakable since his meteoric rise and has helped ...
Claude VonStroke and Marc Houle Unite for New Single “Fly Guy” After 25 Years of Friendship
It’s not every day you get to work with a friend you’ve known for over 25 years, but that’s the case for Claude VonStroke and Marc Houle, who have released their first collaboration, titled “Fly Guy.” With VonStroke growing up in Detroit and Houle just across the river in Windsor, their friendship blossomed with a shared love for music. They used to trade software and sample CDs together, unknowingly building the foundation for two prolific careers in house and techno, respectfully. You can hear the chemistry at work on “Fly Guy,” smoothly melding the two artists’ stylings effortlessly. Houle had sent over an old file to his longtime friend, but they soon realized it needed to be brought up to 2020 standards. While the track stays true ...
Mother and Child Collaborate on Massive Trap Single in Moore Kismet’s “Flair”
Today we get to hear something we very rarely get to experience—a musical collaboration between mother and child. Moore Kismet, the 15-year-old electronic prodigy, is back with the help of their mother, Momma Kismet, to deliver an impressive trap single titled “Flair” via Never Say Die. Having a mother who is a semi-professional singer has its perks, even if they don’t lend their voice to the track, like in the case of “Flair.” Instead, Momma Kismet shared her expertise by helping to craft the melody. The result is a bright, glitch-fueled piece of art that evokes the early work of AraabMuzik. Plus, the Skype loading sound clip is such a simple but effective way to convey emotion, especially when the piece is tied to their mother. “Wr...
DJ D-Sol Drops Eclectic Remix Package for Deep House Ballad “Electric”
By day, David Solomon pulls the strings of Goldman Sachs, one of the nation’s largest and most powerful investment banking enterprises. By night, he DJs and produces electronic music as DJ D-Sol, epitomizing a fascinating dichotomy between the worlds of business and music. DJ D-Sol, who also owns and operates his own Payback Records imprint, released his single “Electric” back in February of this year, teaming up with Hayley May for a melodic deep house number. “Electric” has now received a remix package that can only be described by its own name, featuring three bouncy house reworks from Danny Quest, FANGS, and NYC duo Crush Club, which you can check out below.

Wiz Khalifa and MAX Join Yung Bae’s Future Funk Hit “Bad Boy”
Yung Bae‘s breakthrough hit “Bad Boy” just received a shot of adrenaline straight to the dome. The original single, which featured Marchiafava and bbno$, went viral after its summer 2019 release, climbing to #1 on Spotify’s “Internet People” playlist and becoming a big hit on TikTok. Nearly a year later, Yung Bae has recruited Wiz Khalifa and MAX to join in on his future funk tour de force. The 2020 version of “Bad Boy” bounces along to the same disco-inspired sound palette that helped the original soar to prominence while adding the renowned hip-hop flavors of none other than Wiz. The Grammy and Golden Globe nominated artist infuses his signature flow into the tune, which has an innately kinetic rhythm that oozes the kaleidoscopic u...
Boys Noize Drops Kaleidoscopic, Disco-Inspired House Jam “Mvinline”
Boys Noize today offered up a serendipitous surprise to his fans in the form of a funky new single called “Mvinline,” which was released by fabled house music imprint Defected Records. The track, which samples Black Ivory’s 1979 disco single “Mainline,” represents a stark contrast to Boys Noize’s STRICTLY BVNKER EP, which he released earlier in the month of May. That project was a nod to his darker, warehouse-themed sound, representing a sharp juxtaposition to the kaleidoscopic, disco-inspired flavors of “Mvinline.” However, “Mvinline” still holds the raw and technically pristine house production of a signature Boys Noize tune, which Defected has carefully curated and shrewdly imbued into their brand over the years. “I...

Diplo is now back to unveil the project in full, dropping a 12-track album titled Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil. Diplo brought out some of country music’s biggest stars for the record, including Orville Peck, Cam, Morgan Wa...

NGHTMRE, Subtronics, and Boogie T Unleash a Bass Bomb with “Nuclear Bass Face”
NGHTMRE and Subtronics have unleashed their highly-anticipated mega-collaboration featuring Boogie T, “Nuclear Bass Face.” “Nuclear Bass Face” is the perfect fusion of NGHTMRE’s master craftsmanship, Subtronics’ unpredictable synths, and Boogie T’s psychedelic sound. The trio enters the fray with a chilled out, reggaeton-inspired intro that is quickly engulfed by a menacing build-up. The ensuing drop is complete and utter chaos, as bass stabs and wobbles unrelentingly assault the listener until the track mellows out once again. This collab was crafted in bass music heaven, and fans of any of the artists involved will certainly be pleased with the outcome. NGHTMRE has become one of the most desirable acts in bass music, larg...
