Listen to The Knocks’ Stunning Fourth Album, “HISTORY”
After teasing singles from their latest album for over two years, The Knocks have finally released HISTORY via Big Beat Records. The long-awaited LP embodies its name perfectly, encapsulating the duo’s past experiences into a blissful, 12-track experience. Maintaining an upbeat feel throughout, HISTORY is a masterclass in songwriting, sound design and collaboration while simultaneously pushing the needle of dance music innovation. It’s The Knocks’ most genuine and cohesive project yet. The Knocks grab their listeners’ attention straight from the get-go, opening with their hit single “Bodies” (with MUNA). The track sets the pace for the rest of HISTORY as three more previously released fan-favorites follow. But the new cuts are just as phenomenal, ri...
Listen to Martin Garrix’s Electrifying Debut Club Album, “Sentio”
After an unprecedented run of nine singles—yes, nine—Martin Garrix‘s debut club album is officially here in full. Sentio had been the talk of the town since Garrix’s scene-stealing set at the 2022 Ultra Music Festival, where he showcased the album to an awestruck crowd. He then went on to release a dizzying succession of singles over the course of the last month before today’s complete album, which features two new songs, “Oxygen” (with DubVision and Jordan Grace) and “If We’ll Ever Be Remembered” (with Shaun Farrugia). Spanning 11 tracks, Sentio is flush with cadence and crescendos, oscillating between poignant anthems and electro bangers with attitude. Garrix says he produced the album during the global lockdown period, and after seeing its...
“Feel Safe to Be Yourself”: How SOFI TUKKER’s Sophomore Album Speaks to the Power of Positivity
What do Larry Bird, tennis, and persimmons have in common? They’re three of the many motifs that comprise the DNA of SOFI TUKKER‘s long-awaited sophomore album, WET TENNIS, which is out now after appearing in our list of the top 22 electronic albums to come out in 2022. Considering the fact that their debut album, the Grammy-nominated Treehouse, was released in 2018, it’s safe to say that Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern of SOFI TUKKER have evolved both individually and as a pair over the past four years. And WET TENNIS is not only a testament to that growth, but also an intricate statement on liberation and self-empowerment. There are three levels to the album’s title: the “WET” part, the “TENNIS” part, and the full acronym. &...
Noisia Reveal the Last Chapter In Their Saga, a Third and Final Album
“In the end, we didn’t manage to figure things out. But we did get closer.” The final chapter in the Noisia saga is officially underway. After initially planning to disband in 2020 with a final run of shows, the trio had to prolong their farewell when COVID-19 shut down the live music industry. After live events gradually began to return in the fall of 2021, they announced their final festival run would take place this summer. Now, Noisia are giving fans one last hurrah before they ride off into the sunset: Closer, their third and final album. Alongside the announcement of the release date, Noisia unveiled the complete tracklist for their final album. They’ve chosen to incorporate a large list of friends for their farewell transmission, as 14 of the al...

Flume Drops Two Mind-Bending Singles From Forthcoming Third Album, “Palaces”: Listen
The rollout of Flume‘s Palaces continues to unravel with kaleidoscopic quality. Two new singles from Flume’s first full-length project since 2019’s Hi This Is Flume mixtape have hit streaming services, including the album’s titular track featuring Damon Albarn. A lingering piano solo coupled with crescendoing soundscapes unfurls to introduce a melancholic vocal from Albarn, who appears roughly midway through “Palaces.” The Gorillaz frontman’s words resonate with a psychedelic, choral-like effect as Flume blasts into a big instrumental finish with lively drums and bursting synth chords. Flume doesn’t skimp on bringing equally vibrant synth work to “ESCAPE,” a collaboration alongside ascendant bass music produc...
The Road to ODESZA’s Fourth Album Continues With Haunting Single, “Behind The Sun”
After the release of ODESZA‘s latest single from their fourth album, one thing has never been more clear: they won’t settle for the ordinary. The tandem have never shied away from roaming new sonic frontiers in their illustrious career, but The Last Goodbye is perhaps their biggest canvas for exploration. Case in point are the album cuts “The Last Goodbye” and “Love Letter,” which embraced house music in a way ODESZA never have before. But their new single, a subversive single called “Behind The Sun,” is markedly more haunting than its predecessors. “Behind The Sun” samples a song recorded by Simin Ghanem, an Iranian classicial singer born in 1944. Ghanem’s Persian chants bellow through ODESZA’s spellbinding sound...
“A Testament to My Resiliency”: Blunts & Blondes On His Debut Album and Cannabis’ Impact On His Life
Today, Blunts & Blondes released his debut album Story of a Stoner—and fittingly on 4/20, the de facto national holiday dedicated to stoners. “I just hope people accept it,” the electronic music star tells EDM.com. “I hope people like it. It’s not just EDM, it’s not just rave music. So I hope people take it for what it is and listen to it.” One of the most genuine cuts from the 13-track album is the confessional “4:30,” a languid tune featuring Cotis, who croons, “I just smoke all my days away. I don’t feel nothing, yeah. I just smoke all my pain away.” The song’s aching lyrics provide fans a glimpse into life following a breakup as its protagonist searches for redemption from someone they presumably hurt. Taking the lack of response to heart, they re...
Marc Rebillet Wants You to Watch Him Record His Debut Album—In Person
Marc Rebillet is known for offering fans unique live music experiences, but he’s outdone himself this time. Loop Daddy is hosting a contest that will allow 12 lucky fans to watch him record his debut album in Brooklyn, New York. According to a press release, that group will be the first-ever studio audience to witness a debut album being written in action. “I’m recording my first album, and I want you to be there! A small group of people will be invited to join me in my new studio and watch me record some shit,” Rebillet said in a press release. “This is a real studio session, not a performance. We’ll hang out, have a drink between takes, maybe some special guests will stop by.” Marc Rebillet has announced the first-ever live debut album recor...
New Teaser From The Chainsmokers Reveals “One of the Hardest Drops” From New Album: Watch
Despite their continued mainstream success, it seems The Chainsmokers haven’t lost their bite. The duo are on the cusp of the release of their fourth album, titled So Far So Good, and they’ve already begun road-testing previously unheard cuts from the effort. The latest example of the duo rinsing their latest and greatest on stage was reposted to their TikTok account. The brief teaser reveals what The Chainsmakers are calling “one of the hardest drops on the album,” showcasing a scorching trap drop buoyed by thumping 808s. Coincidentally, given the reveal of the album’s tracklist earlier this month, we have a pretty good idea the track in question is coincidentally titled “Testing.” Check out the clip below.

Listen to Swedish House Mafia’s Stunning Debut Album, a Reminder That Even the Most Broken Can Heal With Time
And just like that, they’re back. It’s hard to believe we’re just now hearing the debut album from Swedish House Mafia. Sauntering at the pinnacle of an eruptive EDM boom in the early 2010s, the trio had reached the promised land on the heels of their many generational dance anthems. But a fractured dynamic in the band led to its shocking disbandment, which deflated the electronic music community like a left hook from Mike Tyson. And as Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, and Steve Angello explored solo endeavors, the group’s detachment ultimately settled in as an axiom that their once-harmonic relationship had gone irretrievably sour. But even the most broken things can heal with time. That brings us to today, when Swedish House Mafia finally released Paradise Ag...
Eptic Channels Chaos On Unrelenting Debut Album, “The End Of The World”: Listen
Eptic has long been regarded as a leader in bass music, consistently writing festival favorites while finding new ways to innovate and evolve his distinct sound. His debut album The End Of The World has now arrived, further cementing his legacy. To put it simply, The End Of The World is Eptic’s most complete project yet. Spanning 10 tracks, the Belgian producer has channeled his sound into an unrelenting conduit of chaos. One thing is for sure: he has never been more fearless in his approach to songwriting. “I would be lying if I said writing this album went smooth. Making this collection of music has been the most difficult and frustrating project I’ve worked on in my entire life,” Eptic said in a press release shared with EDM.com. “It’s literal blood, sweat, ...
