k?d Returns With Cyberpunk-Inspired Remix of Hikaru Utada’s “One Last Kiss”: Listen
After taking a break from releases for nearly 11 months, k?d has picked up where he left off with a new remix of Hikaru Utada’s “One Last Kiss.” Utada’s original song, released in early 2021, was part of the singer-songwriter and producer’s eponymous Japanese-language EP, the first of his career. The titular “One Last Kiss” featured a minimalist arrangement with dainty melodies and spacey soundscapes. With ample room to run with a new vision, k?d got to work implementing a transformative new vision that is not easily replicated. Like his most recent single, “BIB” (with Steve Aoki), k?d rolls with a brisk tempo on the remix in stylistic alignment with dance music’s harder flavors. Incorporating elements of rave with bouncy breakbeat drums and frenet...

EDM.com Presents: The House Brew, Vol. 4
“Bocat” – Guy Gerber ft. Albertina Though Guy Gerber has been quiet on the release front in 2021, he’s ending the year with the smashing Bocat EP. The titular track crafts intoxicating energy through deep, sustained keys, fierce guitar licks, and electric vocals by Albertina. “I Don’t Wanna Leave” (Innellea remix) – RÜFÜS DU SOL Another month, another dynamite remix from Innellea. Following his remix of Monolink’s “Under Dark,” Innellea brings his magic touch to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s soulful “I Don’t Wanna Leave.” Though some of the wistfulness of the original is intact, the energy is raised to the roof with rumbling bass and a menacing lead. “California Dreamin’” (Vintage Culture remix) – Chris Lorenzo “Chris Lorenzo’s new track ‘California Dreamin’’ is on fir...
Alan Fitzpatrick On Why His First Album In Over a Decade “Feels Like His Debut”
“Putting music out for the club, it feels like I can do that with my eyes closed,” mused Alan Fitzpatrick in an exclusive interview with EDM.com. “I do that so often—it’s natural for me.” Since his appearance in the techno scene more than a decade ago, Fitzpatrick has amassed an impressive canon of music, from smash hit “We Do What We Want” to a remix of Shannon’s 1983 electro-funk record, “Let The Music Play.” Just last year, the Brit released a whopping 24—yes, 24—original tracks, including two EPs with his under-the-radar electronica alias, 3STRANGE. But in 2019 Fitzpatrick decided it was time for him to try something new, stepping outside of his creative comfort zone to embark on his first album since 2010. And Machine Therapy, out now via Anjunadeep, was born. Complet...

deadmau5 and Portugal. The Man Could Achieve First Platinum-Selling Song Distributed Exclusively as NFT
deadmau5 and Portugal. The Man are seeking to take their new collaboration Platinum exclusively through the use of NFTs. In a groundbreaking use case, the artists are minting one million copies of their collaboration, dubbed “this is fine,” on the NEAR blockchain. Fans can pick up a copy via the Mintbase NFT marketplace. Copies of the NFT are being sold for 0.25 NEAR each, equivalent to around $2.25 USD.

Outside of the single itself the purchase includes a copy of the track’s cover art, which was developed collaboratively between Smearballs—the designer behind deadmau5’s surrealist “Monophobia” music video—and Woode...
Gina Jeanz Breaks Down Each Song On Her Spellbinding Debut Album, “Lucid Theory”
It’s no secret that the current generation of young music producers is about as creative as they come. From the endless libraries of music available online to the fast-paced evolution of music-making technology, their artistries have been catalyzed by unprecedented access to education and inspiration. The result? Experimental aesthetics, enticingly textured soundscapes and respect for— yet rampant disregard of—genre. The debut album from rising Namibian producer Gina Jeanz proves no different. Released independently on December 3rd, Lucid Theory is equal parts old and new, reigniting well-known sonics and drum machines with multidimensional arrangements and whimsical genre blends. Jeanz also plays with euphonious vocalists and live instrumentation, channeling the comp...
RENN and Liel Kolet Join Forces for Haunting Melodic Bass Track, “Peace of Mind”
RENN has unveiled his latest single, a melodic dubstep tearjerker which the rising bass producer called one of the “most emotional and deepest songs” he’s ever produced. “Peace of Mind,” out now by way of Excision’s venerated Subsidia imprint, features a powerful topline from Israeli singer-songwriter Liel Kolet. Kolet, who has released music on Monstercat and Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records, among other labels, explores the struggles of finding light amid times of personal strife. “Lonely thoughts try to take over / I won’t let them any longer / I’m ready to leave my own life behind,” she belts with a euphoric punch. “Peace of Mind” appears on Subsidia’s Dawn: Vol. 5 compilation, a record that also ...
Rich DietZ Turn Back the Clock With Massive House Remix of Cassie’s “Me & You”
2021 is almost over, but with a tandem as prolific as Rich DietZ, every day is curtain time. This year, the promising house music duo have released new music with the furious pace of the Energizer Bunny. And despite the death knell of December, it seems there’s no end in sight after they released yet another signature track. This time around, Rich DietZ have turned the clock back to 2006 to rework Cassie’s steamy R&B hit “Me & You.” The remix is anthemic in nature, dialing up the BPM of the original and transforming it from a bedroom baby-maker to a certified club jam. Rich DietZ were shrewd in their decision to keep the song’s distinctive keys intact, a move that pays homage to Cassie. While the remix is certainly a showcase of Ri...
Alison Wonderland Drops Trippy Lyric Video for Haunting Single, “Fuck U Love U”: Watch
Alison Wonderland has taken her patented “fuck me up on a spiritual level” mantra to a new level with her new single. The superstar singer-songwriter and electronic music producer has unveiled “Fuck U Love U,” a brooding banger. Fragility is the central motif of the angsty track, which doubles as a captivating cry for help: “I’m by myself / I’m all alone / I think too much / need to switch off,” she sings. Wonderland is as vulnerable as she is magnetic in the official “Fuck U Love U” lyric video, a kaleidoscopic and eerie audiovisual with more tension than an awkward middle school dance. Her haunting lyrics about inner demons materialize in the form of sinister hands, which she wards off throughout. Blindfolded and veil...
