How Supertaste Set Up a Pop-Up Studio in the Tennessee Mountains to Record “Super Classic”
Brooklyn-based indie dance duo Supertaste have released their newest single “Super Classic,” the first track off their forthcoming sophomore EP of the same name. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the pair decided to head to a cabin in the woods and make music. They wasted no time, assembling a pop-up studio in their woodsy lodge in Bristol, Tennessee and getting to work. In the midst of the darkness inflicted by the virus, the tandem decided to focus their energies on creativity, seeking to build something positive in times of utter gloom. Flanked by a beautiful view of the South Holson Lake and the Cherokee National Forest, and with their loyal dog Wilson by their sides as well as an array of synths and guitars, Supertaste successfully wrote their EP in the mountains of Tennessee. ...

Listen to the Spine-Chilling Debut EP from LŪN, the Secret Electronic Alias of Lights [Exclusive]

AFI Release Two New Songs and Video for ‘Dulcería,’ Co-Written by Billy Corgan
Bodies might not be out for another couple of months, but that’s not stopping AFI from releasing yet another pair of new songs, as they did in January and February. The rock icons released both “Dulcería” and “Far Too Near” late Thursday night (or Friday morning, depending on where you live) with a brand new video for the former. Check out the video for “Dulcería” below. [embedded content] But perhaps the most noteworthy thing about “Dulcería” isn’t the video, but the collaborator that lifelong musical partners Davey Havok and Jade Puget brought in to help the band. Co-written by Billy Corgan, the track is basically a Noel Gallagher appearance short of the Smashing Pumpkins’ 2019 tour. “Billy and I have a great creative connection when we’re writing together,” Puget said in a statemen...

Watch the Zany Music Video for NERVO, Tinie Tempah and Paris Hilton’s Sex-Fueled Single, “Pickle” [Premiere]
A clash of epic proportions has found the unlikely triad of NERVO, Tinie Tempah, and Paris Hilton collaborating on a new track. “Pickle,” which was released via Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s venerated Smash The House banner on April 2nd, is a melting pot of fiery pop and hip-hop that doubles as a sex-fueled aphrodisiac of a track. The trio have now released the official music video for “Pickle,” which is being premiered exclusively by EDM.com today. The wild video is a fitting compliment to the quirky pop banger, as pickles are hurled at the artists as they mutate like the acid-inspired heads of the iconic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas poster. Tempah’s raunchy verse, which is enough to force listeners to mute the track if thei...
Prince’s Estate Unearths Previously Unreleased 2010 Welcome 2 America LP
Since Prince’s 2016 death, his estate has released a bunch of previously unreleased material from his legendary vault. Now, another one is on the way. The previously unreleased 2010 album, Welcome 2 America, which is termed “a powerful creative statement that documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice,” in its press materials, will be released on July 30. With its announcement came the release of the title track, a song which concludes that America is the “Land of the free / home of the slave.” Listen to it below. [embedded content] The deluxe edition of Welcome 2 America includes the complete studio vault album on both CD and black viny...
Darkside Share ‘The Limit’ Single From Upcoming Album Spiral
Dave Harrington and Nicolas Jaar, the two artists who make up the American rock band Darkside, have shared “The Limit,” the second single to date off their upcoming Spiral album. The pair have been on a musical hiatus since the release of their debut LP Psychic in 2013 and Spiral will be out on July 23 on Matador Records. “From the beginning, DARKSIDE has been our jam band. Something we did on days off. When we reconvened, it was because we really couldn’t wait to jam together again,” says Jaar in Spiral’s press release. Harrington agrees, saying, “It felt like it was time again,” he said. “We do things in this band that we would never do on our own. DARKSIDE is the third being in the room that just kind of occurs when we make music together.” Listen to “The Lim...
JARETT Releases Breezy Debut Single “TRAVEL”
Rising Vancouver-based artist JARETT has arrived with his debut single “TRAVEL.” The dancehall-inspired track comes at the perfect time, as the weather is warming and live events are slowly returning. The groovy “TRAVEL,” written and performed by the blossoming JARETT and produced by Diamond Style, draws influence from the infectious Caribbean stylings of Major Lazer and Sean Paul. The electronic-pop crossover features an intoxicating vocal performance that would flourish at both a beach party and in a nightclub. Diamond Style balances the dancehall beat with rhythmic hip-hop elements and alchemizes them into a radio-friendly production. JARETT’s upbringing has had a direct effect on his musical journey. He was raised in Toronto with a Bajan fa...
The Avalanches Prep Since I Left You 20th Anniversary Deluxe Reissue
It’s hard to imagine (at least for some of us) that 2001 was 20 years ago. That’s good news for music fans since it means a ton of great music has and will be released with a deluxe reissue. The latest from that batch is the Avalanches’ highly influential debut album Since I Left You [it was released in their native Australia in November 2000]. No one quite used samples like the Avalanches did on Since I Left You and became a blueprint for emerging genres years after its original release. Thus, it makes perfect sense that there’d be material that had yet to be heard from the original sessions from the turn of the century. That album is set to be reissued on June 4 via Astralwerks and will feature a number of audial goodies, including fresh mixes from such artists as the...
