Los Angeles-based duo Jkyl & Hyde and UK dubstep don Shiverz are both forces to be reckoned with in the bass music scene. The former have recently released on fabled labels like Circus Records and Disciple while the latter has seen plenty of success with his own Monsters imprint.

The track begins with Shiverz lending his signature chops, hopping on the eerie beat with unmatched grime verses. The drop brings yet another layer of heat, hitting listeners with a decimating wave of syncopated synths and pounding basses. The fusion of these SoundShield signees are the perfect ma...

Steve Aoki has arrived with his next star-studded collaboration. He’s joined forces with the multi-platinum selling pop songstress Kiiara for the new single “Used To Be,” along with none other than the Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated Wiz Khalifa. The track will sound familiar for those who were alive when CDs reigned supreme.

The production leans towards a melodic pop crossover hit with soaring synths and strong drum patterns. Khalifa’s signature flow rounds out the track and brings some edge to the nostalgic collaboration. Along wit...

The techno community has been missing a singular figure since the Parisian DJ Technasia went silent. It has been five long years since he dropped the 2015 collaboration “Suga” with Green Velvet, but the dry spell is finally over. Technasia has made his triumphant return to Toolroom Records with the club-ready single “Bring It Back.” The track is an homage to the current state of dance music.

The creative process to form the single is unlike anything we’ve heard, calling on his fellow Toolroom family to send voice notes of what they miss a...
Justin Bieber‘s Justice album is finally out. And while it may have been a major letdown for fans of electronic music looking for bangers courtesy of Skrillex and Virtual Riot, it was TroyBoi who swooped in to save the day.

You won’t be able to find “REDEYE” on streaming platforms just yet. The collaboration was released as a Justice bonus track and made available only to fans who purchased the album from Bieber’s official online store. You...
