David Guetta Resurrects “Titanium” With Electrifying Future Rave Remix: Listen
It’s hard to believe David Guetta and Sia‘s “Titanium” was released almost a decade ago. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat album, he has joined forces with MORTEN, his “future rave” partner-in-crime, to give “Titanium” a 2021 makeover. Despite the passing of time since his fifth studio album, he says the song still has a special place in his heart. “It’s probably my favorite all time track I have ever created and the one I love playing live,” Guetta gushed in a press release. “Listening to seas of people singing so loudly together in unison at my shows around the world feels so surreal.” The rework reinforces “Titanium” as a nostalgia machine, breathing new l...
MuhBoi Drops Trippy Electronic Album “There Is No God In Apple Land”
Seattle-based artist MuhBoi has unveiled There Is No God In Apple Land, a mind-bending, seven-track album that traverses the darkest alleys of experimental electronic music. The trippy record, which was inspired by artists like Onehoetrix Point Never and Clams Casino, was released by good, Soft. Records and produced by way of live instrumentation, sampling, and digital production. The album kicks off with the house music-influenced “Catch,” an ambient slow-burner with glitchy sound design and dystopian soundscapes. “Drenched” follows in a similar vein with eerie synths and cleverly syncopated drum patterns ahead of the ensuing track “You Are My Cellar Door,” a dissonant bass jam oozing with experimental flair. Then come...
Cosmic Gate Piece Together a Symphonic Collage in “MOSAIIK Chapter One” Album
Music is a reflection of the times—a snapshot of the mood of a society and a window into the soul of the enduring human spirit. When enthusiasm is high, anthemic powerhouses tend to arise, urging listeners to have fun, worry less, and party more. And when morale slips, the tones are somber and lyrics turn towards self-reflection. Inarguably, humankind is currently experiencing the latter, and musicians are listening. As producers emerge from the progressive tones of the 2010s, electronic artists have taken a liking towards deeper, techno-driven sounds. The minimalistic approach practically mirrors society’s angst amidst a global pandemic, something Cosmic Gate picked up on and created yet another shift in their musical catalog. Having recently completed their 20th anniversary to...
Zeds Dead Deconstruct “i think you’re cool” For Poignant Acoustic Rendition: Listen
Following their foray into the chill and downtempo worlds of electronic music with the trippy Catching Z’s mixtape, Zeds Dead have unveiled four new remixes. While largely devoid of their signature wobbly sound, Catching Z’s was a masterclass in versatility. The diverse nature of the record is reflected in its remix package, which features edits by A-BO, Pocket, and a collaborative rework from QUIET VISON and IMANU. The EP kicks off with Zeds Dead’s acoustic version of “i think you’re cool,” a future bass-inspired track featuring a hypnotic top-line from singer-songwriter Jenna Pemkowski.

It was his comments about future projects, however, that fanned the flames of the anticipation surrounding his long-awaited sophomore album. “I don’t like to say too much,” Skrillex said, “but I mean, I have some projects, I hate the word finishing, but I have all the songs and I’m just in there tweaking and releasing some singles before I decided to put out the bodies of work.” He then went on to explain how he initially planned...
