The Bloody Beetroots and JACKNIFE Team Up for Relentless Electro House Anthem “Jericho”
In January, JACKNIFE took the stage at Eatons Hall in Brisbane and previewed a monster collaboration with The Bloody Beetroots, which the Italian artist later confirmed in a separate Instagram post. Just a few months later, their single “Jericho” has arrived via Tiësto‘s Musical Freedom. “Jericho” adopts both The Bloody Beetroots and JACKNIFE’s signature sounds, blending the former’s taste for electro with the latter’s penchant for bass house. The track is relentless from front to back, striking listeners with a flurry of synths that float atop a pounding bassline. “Jericho” will serve as a hype-inducing weapon in both artists’ setlists for years to come. Although The Bloody Beetroots has already experienced ...
Members of the Gaslight Anthem and New Jersey’s Other Favorite Rockers Come Together With New Sound as Forgivers
There’s a good chance that you’ve never heard of Forgivers, but you’ve definitely heard of some of their members’ other bands. Comprised of vocalist Jed Winokur of the Ratchets, guitarist Alex Rosamilia and bassist Alex Levine of the Gaslight Anthem, and drummer Trevor Reddell of Let Me Run and D’Arcy (who also plays in Dead Swords with Rosamilia), Forgivers already have more experience than pretty much any other “new” band breaking on to the scene. But rather than rehashing the type of Americana punk vibes the various bands are known for, the quartet decided to channel a more British sound in the vein of bands like the Cure and Oasis. While it’s undeniably a new direction for most of the artists involved in the project, the band’s first track, “Some Future,” certainly makes it seem like i...
Spoon Covers Tom Petty’s ‘Breakdown’ and ‘A Face in the Crowd’
Spoon recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of Girls Can Tell and seem like they’re up to something with regards to new music. But for now, a pair of Tom Petty covers will do. The Texas-based rockers shared versions of “Breakdown” and “A Face in the Crowd,” two songs from distinctly different eras of Petty. They recorded the songs live at the Catacomb in Austin. But as you can imagine, they’re quite good! <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:”105px”} }); –> Keeping with th...

Sleepnet Taps IMANU for Stunning Single “Glass Hearts” from Debut EP [Premiere]
Just days ago, NOISIA‘s Nik Roos revealed that he was behind the mysterious Sleepnet alias, after speculation began brewing when the entrancing “Angel Blade” was premiered via UKF last month. Sleepnet also revealed that “Angel Blade” was a part of something bigger—the First Light EP, set to be released via NOISIA’s VISION imprint this Friday. First Light‘s tracklist boasts two collaborations: “Void Song” with Former and a team-up with IMANU—formerly known as Signal—called “Glass Hearts.” The latter, which EDM.com has the pleasure of premiering today, is just as stunning as one might expect from two of electronic music’s most forward-thinking producers. “Glass Hearts” is q...
Paul McCartney’s McCartney III Imagined to Feature Phoebe Bridgers, Damon Albarn, St Vincent, Josh Homme, Anderson .Paak
Paul McCartney ended up having quite a productive lockdown, or in his own words, “rockdown.” He made an album by his lonesome, the aptly titled McCartney III that was released in December. Now? He’s upped the ante quite a bit! The ex-Beatle has personally enlisted an all-star group of artists to contribute their takes on a fresh version of the LP titled McCartney III Imagined.

Jenny Lewis and Serengeti Drop Another New Song, ‘Idiot’
If you’ve been a fan of the first two tracks from the unlikely duo of Jenny Lewis and Serengeti, then the third one should get you all the way through the tail end of this pandemic. “Idiot” takes a poppier approach to the same unique combination that made “Vroom Vroom” and “Unblu” successful, including the same kind of DIY video created by Lewis herself. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:”105px”} }); –> “These songs with Dave (Serengeti) start with a late-night feeling and access to ...

John Digweed Releases Quattro II, a Four-Disc Symphonic Journey: Listen
Last April, veteran DJ and producer John Digweed took his audience on a symphonic journey with Quattro. The four-disc compilation found the British mainstay gaining mass accolades for the production. Nearly a year later, Digweed’s musical inclinations have led him to create a follow-up, aptly titled Quattro II. Like its predecessor, Quattro II finds Digweed showcasing a wide roster of talented artists, and gives a spotlight to Robert Babicz, who produced the fourth and final album in the series. The project also borrows from its prototype by keeping the same titles of each unique mix: Soundscape, Tempo, Redux, and Juxtaposition. Soundscape embodies the euphoric emotions that lie within music. Here we come in contact with cinematic synths, hypnotic sonic waves, acid wo...
