Armin van Buuren Releases Vintage Trance Mix of Collaboration With Alesso, “Leave A Little Love”
Armin van Buuren has delivered a new progressive trance mix of his single with Alesso, “Leave A Little Love.” From the minute the original track was teased, fans were instantly excited to hear what the duo would sound like together, as it was their first collaborative project. Now, seemingly as a gift to his longtime listeners, van Buuren released the “Club Mix” of the song, a vintage trance rendition that falls more in line with A State of Trance than it does with traditional radio. It’s immediately apparent from the first few seconds of the song that it is a pretty significant departure from the more pop-friendly sound of the original. While the catchy lyrics are still in place, the vocals in the club mix are more of a compliment to the chugging progres...
Moore Kismet’s Latest, “Vendetta For Cupid” With TYGKO, Comes Paired With Two Surprise Tracks
With a debut album on the way and a critically acclaimed lead single under their belt, Moore Kismet has already had a major 2021. Still, the electronic music wunderkind returned March 12th for the release of not one, not two, but three new singles, out via Thrive Music. Kismet shines with these tracks, using their distinct approach to sound design to continue breaking away from traditional bass music. “Flight of the Superiority Complex” with liam ello is ethereal in its vocals and delicate with its drop. Meanwhile, “Shadow Soldier” with Lunamatic pulls from drum & bass for its percussion programming, overlaying it with an intricate web of vocals and sonics. “Vendetta For Cupid” with TYGKO, which is confirmed to appear on the forthcoming L...

Deorro Teams Up With LÚA on Spanish-Language Single “Si Tú No Estás Aquí”
Deorro is on a mission to fuse the Latin and electronic music markets into one with his unique approach to production. While Latin music has had a longstanding home within the ever-popular moombahton genre, the producer is here to prove how diverse it really is through his forthcoming album, ORRO. Deorro gave fans the first taste of the LP with the single “Me Siento Bien,” alongside Portuguese electro house artist Kura and Puerto Rican R&B star Alex Rose. He’s now back with the second offering, titled “Si Tú No Estás Aquí,” a collaboration with LÚA. While the first track was high-energy and made for the festival circuit, the latter highlights a more indie-leaning sound. It’s a dreamy, melodic house track that boasts a more subdued tone tha...
Watch the Trippy Visualizer for GRiZ and Ganja White Night’s “Ease Your Mind”
Last July, GRiZ and Ganja White Night first teased that they were working on music together via Instagram. As most would imagine, the quick snippet caused quite a stir from both artists’ fanbases. Over half a year of patiently waiting, they’ve now delivered the single, called “Ease Your Mind,” via SubCarbon. “Ease Your Mind” is the effortlessly funky bass anthem we’ve all been craving. GRiZ and Ganja White Night are a natural pairing, as both tend to flow between wobbly and funky throughout their releases. This time around, GRiZ’s signature saxophone has effortlessly blended with Ganja White Night’s unmistakable, earth-shattering basses to create an instant classic. The release of “Ease Your Mind” is accompanied by an ...
MitiS Taps Zack Gray for Melancholic Single “Hurt” From Upcoming Album
MitiS has been delivering the best music of his career as of late. In January, he released “Try” with RØRY, followed by “Homesick” with SOUNDR in March. For the latest single from his upcoming album, the Pennsylvania-born producer returns with Zack Gray on their new collaborative single “Hurt,” out via Seven Lions‘ Ophelia Records. “Hurt” is yet another melancholic release from MitiS, as he continues to tap into the emotions of his listeners. This time around he’s taken a different approach, allowing Zack Gray to take the lead while his production provides support with subtle piano chords and echoey percussion. MitiS then seizes the reins at the drop, as a powerful wave of emotive synths takes center...
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. Phoebe Bridgers, St. Vincent, Josh Homme, Anderson .Paak, Damon Albarn and Massive Attack are just some of the big-timers who lent their talents to the collection with either a new performance or a remix of the original tune. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width...
