Boys Noize Defies Odds with Antithetic Album, “+/- (Polarity)”
One of electronic music’s most esteemed producers has released his most contrasting album to date. A genre-crossing mastermind, Boys Noize tackles the intersectionality of his music head-on with his fifth studio album, +/- (pronounced “Polarity”). Described as a work that tugs at the polar tensions between the musical styles he produces, Boys Noize (real name Alex Ridha) delicately crafted a nearly hour-long LP comprised of fifteen tracks. Every cut feuds with your senses, trying to connect the similarities of each conflicting record. The fluidity of the project can be heard amongst its varying tracks; from the funky 808 beats of “Affection” featuring ABRA to the throbbing bass and hype synths found on “XYXY.” The title track, ...
KREY Drops Hypnotic Single “Are You Waiting” Ahead of Debut Album
Ahead of the release of his debut album, rising electronic music producer KREY has unveiled its lead single, a spellbinding track called “Are You Waiting.” The song is aptly titled due to its hypnotic sound design, which features airy soundscapes that make time stand still. Inspired by the likes of Madeon, Porter Robinson, and Kaskade, among other dance music pioneers, KREY managed to produce a melodic, synth-laden banger at a bouncy 90 BPM. The drops are clean and kinetic, rife with crisp bass patches and twinkly plucks, and KREY’s technical abilities really shine in the final build, where he automates fluttery arpeggios into a brilliant coda to bring the track home. Akacia also stuns as usual on the topline of “Are You Waiting,” offering a feathery complimen...

One of the brightest young producers in electronic music has finally unveiled his debut EP—and it’s a special one. ISOxo dropped his Nightrealm EP today via RL Grime’s Sable Valley imprint. And there’s a reason why Grime, who is considered a trailblazer in trap music, snapped up this record: it’s a vehicle to showcase the genre’s future.

BADVOID and ZABO’s New Single “Asylum” is Midtempo Madness [Premiere]
BADVOID and ZABO have joined forces for a blistering midtempo anthem called “Asylum.” The track begins with eerie arpeggios, which slither into focus in haunting fashion right off the bat. The beguiling nature of the track takes a dark turn at the drop, however, when BADVOID and ZABO uncork a menacing midtempo beat. The drop is downright ruthless, marrying the metallic wobbles of Deathpact with the ferocious bass of REZZ. The duo flex their versatility on the second drop, switching things up with a new bass pattern and beautiful syncopation of the drum fills. It’s a refreshing take that proves both artists’ dedication to their craft. All said and done, BADVOID and ZABO have dropped a memorable single that tightropes the wire between sinister and spellbinding. Previo...
