One of the year’s most anticipated electronic albums continues to unfurl with “Wide Awake,” a new single from ODESZA’s long-awaited fourth LP.

Watch Little Foot Perform His “Jurassic Park” Theme Remix Live From a Lush Valley In Australia
The dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stomping to a new rhythm. Nearly three decades after the iconic film franchise’s debut, Dave Winnel has transformed the theme into a club-ready progressive house single. Performing under his Little Foot alias, the Australian DJ and dance music producer set up shop in a lush valley deep in the land down under to perform the track live. Originally written by legendary composer John Williams, the theme’s grandiose orchestral strings aptly continue to capture the power of the larger-than-life creatures that captivate viewers to this day. With his remix, Little Foot creates a similar sense of scale with long-form builds and breakdowns that stay true to the instantly recognizable progression of the original. He creates a measured evoluti...

Mz Worthy Kicks Off Pride Month With Heart-Pumping House Single, “Feel It”
Dirtybird cofounder Mz Worthy has returned this summer with a new house anthem, “Feel It.” Corresponding with her first Pride Month performance in Los Angeles, the track dropped on June 3rd via Club Sweat. “Feel It” is a four-on-the-floor filler, overlaid with an infectious, singalong refrain that erupts into a dark and dirty drop. Twinkling arpeggios thrum above a shimmering synth soundscape before the arrangement’s punchy snares fire it off it into each of its two breaks. “I hope while you’re listening you can just let go of it all and be your true self,” Mz Worthy said in a press release.

Don Diablo Remixes Avicii Classic “My Feelings For You,” Donates Proceeds to The Tim Bergling Foundation
Australia’s Vicious Recordings is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a remix of one of Avicii‘s early career hits. In many respects, Avicii’s “My Feelings For You,” which was released in 2010 prior to “Levels,”could be considered his first breakthrough track. Avicii hardly even had double-digit singles to his name by the time the song sped to #1 on the Beatport charts. “My Feelings For You” also gained momentum and registered on the charts across several European countries—a critical early testament to the potential of Avicii’s euphoric brand of dance music. The original source material from “My Feelings For You” is derived from Cassius’ “Feeling For You,” a release by the French house g...

SIDEPIECE Link Up With Lee Foss to Reimagine Ciara’s 2004 Hit, “1, 2 Step”
Grammy-nominated house music tandem SIDEPIECE (Party Favor and Nitti Gritti) have joined forces with Repopulate Mars label boss Lee Foss for their first-ever collaboration. Out now via Insomniac Records, “1, 2 Step” is a surefire dancefloor filler that samples Ciara’s 2004 classic of the same name, which features Missy Elliott. SIDEPIECE and Foss previewed the track at EDC Las Vegas last month. And it goes without saying that it went off: Having collectively remixed the likes of Lana Del Rey, Rudimental, Calvin Harris and many more, SIDEPIECE and Foss are quite the team. They initially met last year, when the latter was impressed after the former rinsed an early demo of the record at Audiotistic San Diego. They then decided to rework “1, 2 Step&#...
Pioneering Tropical House Artist Thomas Jack Returns After 4-Year Hiatus: Listen to “Sandman”
One of the forefathers of tropical-inspired electronic music has returned with a bold new direction and the same feel-good energy. It’s a best-of-both-worlds scenario as longtime fans of Thomas Jack re-embrace the Australian producer following a four-year hiatus. Jack’s career certainly wasn’t one you’d up and leave behind without good reason. The pioneering “Rivers” producer is widely credited with having had a role in coining the term “tropical house” after a friend jokingly suggested he adopt the terminology based on how his music sounded. That’s because his music channeled the exotic sounds of summer across the world. Uplifting and carefree, Jack’s music was breezy, light and distinct in its employment of eclectic ...
