In an Ode to Moshing, G-Buck Drops Ferocious Trap Single “Thank U 4 Moshing With Me”
Philadelphia is perhaps best known for its famous cheesesteaks (wiz wit, all day) and painfully disappointing sports teams, but it is also home to a slew of top-notch electronic music talent. Diplo, Subtronics, and Louis Futon are just three of those names, but the list goes on. Enter Philly-based DJ and producer G-Buck, who has arrived on Welcome Records for a genre-shattering trap bomb, “Thank U 4 Moshing With Me,” which moonlights as an ode to moshing. G-Buck has been blurring the lines of bass music for years, with a bevy of releases on some of the top tastemakers in dance music, including Skrillex‘s OWSLA imprint, Diplo‘s Mad Decent banner, Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak, and Flux Pavilion‘s Circus Records.

SLANDER Channel Heaven Trap Roots in New Collaboration with Jason Ross
SLANDER has joined Ophelia Records alumnus Jason Ross for a purifying new collaboration, “Better Than Heaven” featuring JT Roach. The densely melodic single is in alignment with SLANDER’s “heaven trap” roots, a niche sub-genre consisting of thumping trap 808’s and uplifting leads, which the duo themselves coined.

ODESZA and Golden Features Debut Stunning Music Video for New Collaborative Project, BRONSON
Superstar EDM duo ODESZA are well-known for their epic, cinematic future bass productions and captivating live performances. They recently teamed up with indie dance producer Golden Features for a new collaborative project called BRONSON, which is every bit as enthralling as one might expect. The trio’s debut single from their forthcoming self-titled album, “Heart Attack (feat. lau.ra),” now has a fascinating new music video in accompaniment. BRONSON takes a melodic deep house approach, blending those signature ODESZA melodies with the groove and danceability that has brought Golden Features to the forefront of house music production. “Heart Attack” has a nearly vintage feel to it, with a punchy bass line and chunky percussion, but lau.ra&...

With no booths to tear up and no stages to grace due to the impact of COVID-19, electronic music producers have been cranking out some of the most inspired music of their careers while under lockdown. While the music industry has been hit especially hard, musicians have used this time to support each other while honing in on their creativity to connect with fans in new and exciting ways. Enter renowned bass producer Yultron, who recently arrived on Kayzo‘s Welcome Records with “Dyemonds,” an absolute flamethrower of a hybrid trap tune. Yultron is known for his ability to bulldoze genre boundaries and push the envelope of bass music forward with innovative sound design, which is exactly what he does here. Eschewing his penchant for psy-trance, Yultron stays in th...
Dubstep Meets Rock in RIOT’s Blistering Single “Jackknife”
Welcome Records is quickly emerging as one of the most coveted tastemakers in bass music. With Kayzo at the helm, the imprint has demonstrated a unique ability to unearth trailblazing music in the dubstep and trap spheres, as well as their many sub-genres. Barnstorming bass music duo RIOT recently arrived on the Welcome Records banner with “Jackknife,” a blistering dubstep and rock hybrid that that is—for lack of a better term—not for the faint of heart. Back in November 2019, we were fortunate enough to chat with the rising tandem, who said they were “excited to let the listeners into [their] brains.” If “Jackknife” is any indication, the mind of RIOT is something to marvel at considering the track’s masterful genre-blending. Both W...

Listen to This EP Created with Recordings of Birds from Renowned Producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
When Alfred Hitchcock released his legendary 1963 horror film “The Birds,” he portrayed our graceful, winged friends as vicious birds of prey hellbent on gouging out the eyes of humans. Renowned British electronic producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED), on the other hand, went the opposite route, using them as an elegant source of inspiration for his ambient I Can Hear The Birds EP. Spanning four tracks, the project represents a departure from TEED’s sound, but that doesn’t make it any less striking. Eschewing his penchant for indietronica and UK garage flavors, I Can Hear The Birds is a scintillating song-cycle of ambient ballads that uses field recordings of warbling birdsongs as each track’s backbone. The tapes were insp...
Watch Thijs of Noisia Spin a Ferocious DnB Set for “Beatport ReConnect: Drum & Bass”
Earlier this month, Thijs de Vlieger of fabled Dutch electronic outfit Noisia appeared on Beatport‘s ReConnect: Drum & Bass livestream to rip a classic Noisia DJ set. Today, he took to Twitter to share the exciting news that the high-quality set has been uploaded in full. The famed Noisia trio sadly split up towards the end of 2019 and had a farewell tour planned, but it was shelved due to the impact of COVID-19. While new Noisia has been rare, fans can find solace in this hourlong set, which de Vlieger explicitly labeled as a “Noisia DJ set.” It features a slew of Noisia originals as well as many from that of their heavy-hitting drum & bass counterparts, like Alix Perez, Mefjus, and Phace, among many others. You can watch the performance in fu...

Seemingly out of the blue, the musical renaissance man debuted a new Major Lazer track featuring Nicki Minaj and Mr Eazi. A fan uploaded a clip of the unreleased tune to Twitter to help out those who might have missed it. While the clip is quite short, you can clearly hear Nicki Minaj’s hallmark vocals over a classic Major Lazer beat. Unfortunately, in the short clip, we’re not able to get a taste of Mr Eazi’s contribution to the track, but the provided song ID at the top of the stream confirms his involvement. The aforementioned song is not the only pop crossover Major Lazer has up their sleeves, as back in March, Diplo debuted a remix of The Weeknd‘s &...
