Each has included a song that not only fits the theme of the compilation but simultaneously stays true to their unique individual sounds as well. NotLö’s “Within” is a perfect example, as she’s stayed in tune with her wobbly sound while embracing the multifaceted feel of the project. Saka has taken a similar approach on his song “Yasha,” holding onto bassy elements listeners may find familiar fr...

He effortlessly flows between genres, refusing to be confined by the house music that has defined him over the course of his career. The album is a reflective look at his influences up until this point, drawing inspiration from the likes of Daft Punk, 90s hip-hop, and punk music, all of which he cherished growing up. While the house music vet rarely strays from the genre he calls home, he comfortably does so throughout Introspection. “My Mind” (with Karina Ramage) embraces a slowed-down, upbeat...

It is also his debut project under FADER Label, which counts trend-setting artists like Clairo, Charlie Burg and Matt and Kim among its ranks. Built around lyrics that were co-written with Elderbrook, “Heartaches” pairs echoing vocal chops with a euphoric dance drop and wistful guitar riff.

Sonny Fodera Announces Release Date and Tracklist of New Album “Wide Awake”
Following the success of his summertime anthem “Nah,” Sonny Fodera has announced his forthcoming 14-track album Wide Awake. Set to release on October 22nd via Fodera’s very own venerated Solotoko imprint, the countdown to the unveiling of considerably one of his most ambitious records to date has begun.

Hydraulix Drops Genre-Bending, 20-Track Debut Album “Imposter Syndrome”
After years of releasing some of the most heavily supported tracks among the DJ community, Australian trap music virtuoso Hydraulix has finally dropped the curtain on his debut album, the 20-track Imposter Syndrome LP. Long revered for his approach to bass music production—in which he creates wonky trap music with a booty-shaking twist—Hydraulix looked inward to develop his debut album, the result of struggle with lockdown-induced insecurity. While largely rooted in the mind-bending bass spectrum of its label, Wakaan, the album enters pensive territory at times, dabbling in future bass and hip-hop. “GOAT” and “System Malfunction” are two undeniable Imposter Syndrome standouts in an album of many. The former, which features gritty bars f...
SLANDER Team Up With Ganja White Night for Moody Melodic Bass Hybrid “Miss You”
SLANDER have teamed up with another one of bass music’s biggest duos for a new track that will have you crying and moshing at the same time. Released over the long weekend is “Miss You” by SLANDER and Ganja White Night. Fans have been waiting for this one to drop since it was formally announced almost two weeks ago. While those in attendance at Bass Canyon last month got to hear the song for themselves live, and in person, those without a ticket were left wondering what the four producers would whip up. The track is broken into two distinct sections that vary greatly from one another. The first half is a perfect fit for those who like to get caught up in intense emotion and introspection brought on by many popular melodic bass offerings. Melancholy vocals and gentle piano...
Tokyo Machine Drops Remix of “Naruto: Shippuden” Theme Song: Listen
Tokyo Machine‘s latest remix flips a song used in one of the most iconic anime series of all-time. Released on Friday was the beloved electronic music producer’s remix of “Silhouette” by Japanese rock band KANA-BOON. While the song and group are internationally renowned on their own accord, many fans of the wildly popular anime series Naruto: Shippuden may remember it as one of the show’s many theme songs. Swapping the guitars from the original, Tokyo Machine opts for high-energy synths, pounding drums, and twinkly keys akin to a bustling arcade. Combining the distinct vocals of KANA-BOON, the final result is a song that remains true to the fabric of the original while infusing electronic flair for listeners who gravitate towards dance music.
