Blanke and RUNN Connect on Shimmering New Single “Lights Out”
Following last month’s collaboration with Donna Tella, “Stuck On You,” Blanke has now tapped RUNN for their new soaring single “Lights Out” via his newfound home, Ophelia Records.

The second drop feels even more triumphant, teasing with a slight delay before once again letting the synths take center stage. “Lights Out” is one of Blanke’s most beautifully constructed songs yet, indicating another strong year from the Australian producer.

They’re Back: ODESZA Release First New Music Since 2018, “The Last Goodbye”
It’s official: ODESZA are back. After torturing fans via a series of cryptic posts and leaks last week, the duo have finally released “The Last Goodbye,” their first new original music since 2018. The soulful electronic tune samples 1965’s “Let Me Down Easy” by fabled Detroit R&B singer Bettye LaVette, who is credited as a featured artist. “This song was born out of the concept of trying to bring these lasting, defining musical pieces like the 1965 release of ‘Let Me Down Easy’ by Bettye LaVette into a modern and contemporary electronic setting,” Odesza explained. “The idea of bringing two worlds together, that at first seem distant, has always been something we’ve been drawn to. It was an absolute honor to be able to work with ...
Fluencee and Paper Idol Experience Sensory Overload On Circus Records Single, “Paralyzed”
Making his debut on Flux Pavilion and Doctor P’s storied Circus Records imprint, Fluencee resigns himself to raw emotion on “Paralyzed,” a collaboration with Paper Idol.

Despite the toxic push and pull of the temptation, the overwhelming sensory rollercoaster of it all is enough to render one powerless. As the track reaches its apex, Fluencee augments the haunting effect of the hook by splicing it up and adding transformative glitch and distortion effects...
