How SLANDER “Thrive” by Leaning On Each Other
SLANDER know first-hand how invaluable a good co-pilot is. The duo of Derek Andersen and Scott Land recently released their debut studio album, Thrive. Released on September 22nd, the record is a culmination of a decade of touring in tandem, co-producing songs and putting their creative heads together. It’s a formula that has brought SLANDER no shortage of success. In fact, brief deviations from their shared journey have been uncomfortable and unwelcome. “When we’re performing, we can lean on each other,” Andersen tells EDM.com. “I think that’s super huge. We’ve both done a couple of solo shows over the course of this journey. Personally, I remember doing a show. Scott was having surgery and I think it was in Thailand a couple of years ago for 25,0...

Subtronics Remixes “Runaway (U & I)” On Eighth Anniversary of Galantis’ Dance Anthem
On the eighth anniversary of their biggest hit, Galantis recruited one of the hottest names in bass music to transform the single. For over a year now, Subtronics has been asking fans if they “f*ck with that weird sh*t?” while dropping a heavy remix of the Swedish duo’s dance classic, “Runaway (U & I)” live. Now, just days after announcing his “ANTIFRACTAL” tour, he’s officially released the fan-favorite remix in honor of its namesake’s eighth anniversary. Incorporating the ageless vocals that propelled the original to mainstream success, Subtronics gives fans a moment to take a deep breath before sending them to the upside-down. In tried-and-true fashion, he interpolates some goofy samples from the 2007 video game Te...
ACRAZE Teams Up With Goodboys for Anthemic House Track, “Believe”
Chart-topping artist ACRAZE has teamed up with Goodboys for “Believe,” the follow-up to the former’s global smash hit “Do It To It.” Released today by way of Thrive Music/Capitol Records, “Believe” is an uplifting house record with a deep-seated plea to find meaning in life. The underlying message builds stronger with dramatic, cinematic tension, which ultimately releases in the track’s cathartic drop. “On your journey to success, it’s inevitable that you will hear ‘no’ more than ‘yes,’” ACRAZE said in a press statement shared with EDM.com. “Believing in myself when no one else did was what I did best. This song is a true representation of what it felt like in the low moments of my life.” Listen to &...

TSHA Moves Mountains On Stunning Debut Album, “Capricorn Sun”
Capricorns: limitless in resilience, relentless against adversity and steep in emotional depth. TSHA taps into the heart, soul and spirit of her astrological sun sign on her debut album, Capricorn Sun, a swelling stunner out now via Ninja Tune. The 13-track LP is mountain-moving at its best, and consistent in the punch of its hooks. And while the power of TSHA’s free-flowing arrangements may take a moment to hit their stride, her work is of the breed that transforms on the dancefloor. Take the slow-building rapture of “Dancing in the Shadows” (with Clementine Douglas), for example. Ecstasy bubbles under the surface of orchestral chords and Douglas’ impassioned flows. It’s easy to imagine TSHA, who was named one of EDM.com‘s best music producers in ...

How Did Four Artists Release Music On the Same Day With the Same ’90s Sample?
Four dance tracks, four different artists, released by four different labels—all on the same day. This is the eyebrow-raising phenomenon that was spotted during this week’s Friday deluge of new music. Campbell’s “Beat Goes On (To The Brain),” Spencer Ramsay’s “Beat Goes On (DNB Flip), Chapter & Verse’s “The Beat Goes On” and Cody Wong’s “Beat Goes On (La Di Dadi Di Mix),” comprised the medley of songs all found to be using the same catchy vocal sample. The sample goes back to a 1997 release by The All Seeing I, “Beat Goes On,” a cover of Sonny & Cher’s 1967 song of the same name. In a TikTok video posted by British DJ and radio host MistaJam, the track’s original vocal hook, ...
Carl Cox Previews Upcoming Album and Wembley Arena Performance With New EP: Listen
Ahead of his first album in over a decade, Carl Cox has shared a mind-bending EP, Welcome to My World. Cox’s Electronic Generations is due out at the end of this month, but he’s given fans plenty to chew on with the new four-track EP. The storied techno and house music producer kicks off Welcome to My World with “World Gone Mad,” a song that leads with an impassioned, declarative vocal sample before opening the flood gates of frenzied acid bass. The pummeling techno riffs continue throughout the effort, marking a somewhat substantial departure in tone from the three previously released tracks. Cox takes his reworks of “See the Sun Rising,” “How It Makes You Feel” and “Speed Trials On Acid”—collabs with Franky Wah, Nicole...
Listen to Tiësto’s Energizing Club Remix of Black Eyed Peas’ “Pump It”
Tiësto has teamed up with Black Eyed Peas to produce a modern-day club spin on the group’s ageless hit, “Pump It.” The track was in Tiësto’s regular club rotation over the summer before it officially hit streaming platforms today. He wastes no time and cuts right to the chase, reworking the 2006 hit into a fresh house anthem. “As a fan and supporter of will.i.am’s work and Black Eyed Peas, I couldn’t be more excited to collaborate directly with them on this project,” gushed Tiësto, who said his fans “go absolutely crazy” when he plays the track at clubs and festivals. There’s no mistaking Dick Dale’s’s instantly recognizable “Misirlou” 1962 surf sample, and it’s not long before Tiësto builds the arrangement before an energizi...

Released via Darkroom/Interscope, “Scandalous” is sprinkled with Gryffin’s signature house music sound. Meanwhile, Tinashe’s powerful lyrics grab hold and pull us through an anthemic, edgy arrangement replete with impressive vocal gymnastics. “Show me how you do the things you do / it blows my mind,” she sings as bright arpeggios and pulsing bass subtly rumble underneath.
