Blanke Releases Stunning 7-Track EP, “Land Of The Wayfarer”
Blanke kicked off 2022 the way we all wished he would: by teasing a new project for fans to sink their teeth into. And now the time has finally come—his Land of the Wayfarer EP has arrived by way of Ophelia Records. Land of the Wayfarer is a clear evolution of Blanke’s sound and is his most inspired project to date. Clocking in at seven tracks, the EP embraces the melodic, heartfelt side of Blanke’s artistry. He had previously come into his own with his phenomenal string of releases last year, and this record is a culmination of that experience. Land of the Wayfarer includes some of Blanke’s most impressive songwriting thus far in his career. While most fans have probably already heard Lights Out” (with RUNN) and “Stuck On You” (with Donna Tella), the be...
ARMNHMR Channel Inspiration Through Isolation On New EP, “Waiting For Love”
After teasing a collection of new music with a handful of singles and embarking on an eponymous tour, ARMNHMR have unveiled their latest EP, Waiting For Love. Waiting For Love draws from ARMNHMR’s loneliest moments. Whether it’s when they’re on the road solo or toiling through the same isolation we all experienced over the past two years, the duo found inspiration in some of their darkest times. The passion and pain can be heard throughout every inch of the EP, as they’ve embraced their solitary feelings and transformed them into a beautiful five-track record. Check out the Waiting For Love, which was released on Monstercat, below. Recommended Articles Fans were given an early taste of the emotive EP when ARMNHMR released its heartfelt singles, “Savi...
Listen to Subtronics and REZZ’s Spellbinding Collaboration, “Puzzle Box”
REZZ and Subtronics have delivered on the collab that fans have been clamoring for. After debuting and rinsing the track on their concurrent tours over the past few weeks, the duo have finally unveiled “Puzzle Box.” The midtempo banger finds a strong middle ground between the mechanized chaos of a Subtronics track and the minimal, calculated darkness of REZZ’s music. A dramatic, horror movie-esque introduction gives way to a wonky bassline that stomps through the arrangement with the ferocity of a creature from the Elden Ring universe. Take a listen to “Puzzle Box” below. As is tradition with most Subtronics releases, the fantastic visual artist Aaron Brooks lent his talents for the song’s dazzling cover art, which features one of Subtronics’...
Above & Beyond and Mat Zo Drop Long-Awaited Group Therapy ID, “Always Do”
Above & Beyond and Mat Zo have finally dropped one of 2021’s most anticipated Group Therapy IDs. The Anjunabeats veterans today released “Always Do,” an acid-soaked progressive house single. Tinctures of haunting vocals guide listeners through an atmospheric, dark arrangement, which is highlighted by pulsing bass. Fans got their first taste of the track back in September 2021 at the Group Therapy 450 outing in London—and they’ve been awaiting its official release ever since. Check out the riveting single below. Recommended Articles Earlier in the week, the Anjunabeats Twitter account teased that the trio had an upcoming collaboration on the way with a “label star.” This, of course, was Zo, who shared his excitement to work with the trio. Be...
Spring Into Spring With David Guetta and Afrojack’s “Trampoline” Featuring Missy Elliott
“If Guetta makes it, then it’s a hit,” promises DOECHII on “Trampoline,” the newest collaboration from iconic beatsmiths David Guetta and Afrojack. If the success of their last single, “Hero,” is any indication—it’s currently nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the 2022 Grammy Awards—then DOECHII is right on target. Featuring vocals from Missy Elliott and BIA, the hip-hop-infused “Trampoline” is out now via Parametric Records and Artist Partner Group. “Bounce that shit. Make it go,” its lyrics urge, backed by a minimalistic bass line and zingy synths. You can practically envision Elliott, BIA and DOECHII in the studio putting this one together, strutting around with the boss energy that their c...
Alesso Contributes Ominous Single to “The Batman” Soundtrack: Listen to “DARK”
Alesso‘s latest effort is music for cleaning up Gotham City’s streets. In theaters this weekend, The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, received a brooding new contribution from Alesso, aptly titled “DARK.” The Swedish superstar’s latest is an invigorating house track with the kind of eerily ominous atmosphere one might expect to encounter in the obscure alleyways home to DC Films’ famous night-crawling vigilante. Driving the groove is a punchy, triplet bassline marked by heavy distortion. The grungy synths set an energizing cadence capable of generating a generous rush of adrenaline. Recommended Articles At first glance it appears The Batman‘s filmmakers leaned heavily on dance music producers to help set the tone. In fact, th...
Premiere: Listen to Freejak’s Rework of Darude’s “Sandstorm,” a Favorite In Tiësto’s DJ Sets
The dust from the sandstorm that Darude stirred up almost 23 years ago still hasn’t settled. Now, U.K. producer Freejak is swirling it up once again. He will soon release an official rework of Darude’s iconic, shape-shifting track “Sandstorm,” which changed the course of dance music as we know it after its 1999 release. Freejak’s rendition of “Sandstorm,” which will release via Perfect Havoc, shrewdly utilizes Darude’s original structure while reimagining its iconic lead synth. After the first drop, he introduces a big break—just like Darude’s original—to allow for the energy to soak in before he brings the track home with an electrifying coda. Grooving big room basses and a snappy kick keep this classic storm brewing. Tiësto...
Listen to ODESZA’s Stunning New Single, “Better Now”
After releasing their first new music since 2018 last month, it seems ODESZA are making up for lost time. The duo released a new single out of the blue this morning called “Better Now,” which features Portuguese singer-songwriter MARO. With its ambient soundscapes and textured production, the atmospheric track is signature ODESZA. It follows February’s momentous comeback single, “The Last Goodbye.” According to ODESZA, they trialed many different vocalists for “Better Now,” but ultimately sought out MARO. “It’s funny because we tried so many different collaborations with vocalists in varying genres to try to find the right fit for this song when we first made it, but for whatever reason nothing felt right,” ODES...
Karim Naas Drops Anthemic Single, “What They Say”
Karim Naas is back with his latest dancefloor filler, an energizing pop-house track called “What They Say.” The Parisian producer has once again landed on Island Def Jam with an intoxicating banger. From the get-go, “What They Say” is a potent dance tune, chock full of anthemic production and galvanizing lyrical work. The chorus is the track’s surefire sweet spot, and it could land either on the radio or at festivals. Here, Naas combines pitched vocal chops with a punchy bassline as a powerful vocal performance bellows out. The lyrics of “What They Say” are defiant in nature, urging listeners not to give a damn about things they can’t control—namely what other people say. “When listening to ‘What They Say,’ I want people to ...

Slushii Goes Behind the Scenes of Ambitious Anime Concept Album, “E.L.E” [Exclusive]
With his next album, Slushii is aiming to register a seismic sonic impact. On the precipice of revealing over three years of work in the studio, Slushii has opened up about the direction of his forthcoming album, E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event), which he says is an ode to the brostep era of the 2010’s. “This album is the culmination of three years of my best work. I really felt that there was a need for an album to revive the early 2010’s brostep machine, and fix it up with some new modern tech,” Slushii said. “This is a slow burn type of album, and one I hope you listen to front to back that can stand as a new beginning in the book of Slushii!” Slushii.

Anna Lunoe’s New House Single Is “Dark, Rowdy and Made to Play”: Listen
Nobody does club music like Anna Lunoe. And while the Aussie’s release schedule may have slowed down in recent years, her latest, “Double Dip,” once again marks this momma bear‘s territory as one of the most consistently innovative players in the house music game. “It’s dark, fun, rowdy, made to play and going straight in my set,” Lunoe said in a press release. “Double Dip” gets things moving and grooving with a banging four-on-the-floor beat and throbbing bassline, arranged alongside crashing hi-hats and whirring techno synths. “Lick, lick, lick, lick / Tastes good, so I double dip,” flow its sultry vocals, written with Madison Rose. Sprinkled throughout are light bursts of garage sonics, expertly rounding out the...
