Listen to KDrew and Skye Holland’s Spellbinding House Track, “Needed You”
After his latest dance music masterstroke, KDrew has once again reinforced his standing as one of the scene’s most versatile producers. Today, the virtuosic DJ and electronic music producer unveiled “Needed You,” a gripping house track featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Skye Holland. Holland provides a stunning topline here, which floats atop KDrew’s anthemic production with a wispy cadence. In “Needed You,” KDrew turns back the clock to the 2010s, when electro and progressive house reigned supreme. He tightropes the wire between the two, interpolating dark reece bass and eerie arpeggios in the verses. Classic, soaring trance leads then take hold in the bridge, which ultimately builds and culminates in a gripping drop. Here, KDrew chops up an...

Marshmello Drops First Single From Upcoming “Joytime IV” Album: Listen
At long last, Marshmello has offered a taste of Joytime IV, the fourth installment of his long-running album series. Fans can now sink their teeth into the album’s first single, “BeFoRe U.” Marshmello turned back the clock here, showcasing the blissed-out, saccharine future trap sound that propelled him to superstardom. It’s a breath of fresh air for Mello loyalists, many of whom have become disillusioned by his pivot to hip-hop and contemporary pop music. It seems like a lifetime ago when Marshmello released the first edition of Joytime, his debut album, which dropped back in 2016. The record was a breakthrough for the subversive producer, who recently garnered his first Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Dance/Electronic album for Shoc...
Listen to Krewella’s Visceral Third Album, “The Body Never Lies”
After a period of deeply personal self-examination, Krewella have emerged with a brand new album. The barnstorming electronic music duo have dropped the curtain on The Body Never Lies, their third album and most intimate one to date. It’s their first full-length record since 2020’s Zer0, which arrived seven years after their breakthrough debut, Get Wet. From the frenetic drum & bass rhythms of “In The Water” to the soaring synths of “6 Feet,” the album is visceral and designed to indulge the senes. And after looking inward, it’s clear that Krewella wrote the record with a renewed sense of spirituality. “The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of...
WHIPPED CREAM’s New Single “CRY” to Appear On Rocket League, Paladins Video Games
For WHIPPED CREAM, it’s always been about bangers. “Light of Mine”? Banger. “So Thick”? Banger. With a track record like this, it’s no surprise that her latest single, “CRY,” is also—well, you get it. A mind-bending fusion of midtempo, electronica and hyper-house, “CRY” is out now via Monstercat. Kicking off with eerie chords and haunting vocals, “CRY” quickly sets the scene for a tale that twists and turns with tension. “You won’t hear me cry,” its lyrics chant. An eerie bassline slowly creeps under the surface until the track’s cathartic drop, akin to a pitch black soundscape with menacing sound design. “It’s about having no tears, words, or energy left to give...

Along with the announcement came a brand new single from the album called “New Day,” which arrived alongside an Old West-inspired music video. Loner is the result of a transcendent shift in perspective, according to the Australian electronic music polymath, who called her new album “a rebirth” in a press release shared with EDM.com. “My life was going a certain way before something pulled everything out from under me,” recalled Wonderland. “It left me entirely alone, and it all happened around the same time as COVID. I felt like...
