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...
Listen to Subtronics and Excision’s Massive Long-Awaited Collaboration, “Bunker Buster”
As the safe return of music festivals becomes more and more of a reality, bass music fans are dusting off their neck braces. Ergo, head-bangers rejoiced today after two of dubstep’s most popular artists released one of the genre’s most anticipated collaborations in recent memory. Subtronics and Excision have finally unveiled “Bunker Buster,” a long-awaited song that was debuted back in December 2019 during the former’s performance at HiJinx. Teeth-chattering bass ripples through each of the single’s three unique drops, which contain signature elements of both producers’ styles. However, fans shouldn’t simply fast-forward to the loudest part of the waveform. The verses of “Bunker Buster” are jaw-dropping, kicking off with beautiful...
Twenty One Pilots Announce New Album Scaled And Icy, Share ‘Shy Away’
Twenty One Pilots have been quiet for the better part of the past few years, with the release of the pandemic-inspired “Level of Concern” and their holiday single “Christmas Saves the Year” being the exceptions. Now, the duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun are officially back. The Ohio-based band will release Scaled And Icy, their sixth studio album, on May 21 via Fueled by Ramen. The release will coincide with a livestream where they’ll debut songs from the album. You can grab tickets for that event, which kicks off at 8 pm EST, here. Scaled And Icy was written and produced by Joseph as he was hunkered down at his home studio in isolation. The themes of the record assess the chaos that was 2020, with Joseph tackling anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt in his lyrics. D...

The latest reimagining of a Paul McCartney tune comes courtesy of Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien, who shared his remix of “Slidin.’” It will appear on the April 16th release of McCartney III Imagined, which features numerous artists putting their own spin on songs from last year’s McCartney III. O’Brien worked on the track with producer Paul Epworth. and told BBC Radio 6 Music more about remix. “I really liked [‘Slidin’], and so I said to Paul Epworth, ‘would you fancy getting stuck in?’ He was really up for it. It was great. A moment of light in the darkness of the winter that’s just been,” O Brien said. “We had a lot of fun. Got into [McCartney’s] vocals and added some chaos, some guitar — my reference point was ‘Helter Skelter.’ Ramp up the intensity!” Prior to “Slidin’,...
The White Stripes to Release 20th Anniversary Edition of White Blood Cells
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the White Stripes released White Blood Cells, but here we are. In honor of the big anniversary, that album is getting a special rarities reissue as the 48th Vault package from Third Man Records. If you’re a White Stripes fan or superfan, buckle up, there are plenty of rare goodies to go around.

Sufjan Stevens Announces Five-Volume Album, Convocations, Releases ‘Meditation V’
After a five-year break between solo albums, Sufjan Stevens is already back with his next project after last year’s The Ascension. But for those expecting a concise sequel to the 15 tracks released in September, Convocations is far from it — even by Stevens’ standards. The five-volume album will seemingly release one volume at a time, every Thursday until May 6. Clocking in at about 150 minutes, the 49-song project is broken down into the artist’s interpretation of the five stages of mourning, with the volumes titled Meditations, Lamentations, Revelations, Celebrations and Incantations. The idea was conceived and created around the release of The Ascension, which happened to closely coincide with the death of Stevens’ father. Ahead of Meditations’ full release on T...

The new collection will be made up of seven live tracks of songs released on his debut album earlier this year, plus two covers, Billie Eilish’s “when the party’s over” joining the Nirvana tune. “Out of all Nirvana’s songs, ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ is my favorite,” Fraites said in a press release. “I remember listening to this song in the car while riding to middle school with my Mom. I think it has one of the strongest melodies ever written. I did my best to honor this song, especially on this day of remembrance as it ma...
