Tiësto is bringing his far-reaching club appeal to an early 2000’s techno classic. Taking on Tiga’s “Mind Dimension,” Tiësto refreshes the acid-infused production of the 2009 track, adding energizing drums and a dancefloor-dominating groove into the mix. The hook of Tiga’s singalong classic is likely to appear instantly recognizable to tenured electronic music fans, but recently the song has seen a resurgence in popularity after multiple high-profile producers tried their hand at remixing it. Tiësto’s version is sure to have the club full on edge as he takes his time building up anticipation in the track’s opening bars with ethereal vocal swells and tense risers. At its tipping point, the Dutch superstar drops a metallic lead and f...

Frequent collaborators Paul van Dyk and Alex M.O.R.P.H. pay homage to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana with their latest collaboration in an instrumental tribute to Stranger Things.

Stepping into a critical career juncture, Fred again.. is telegraphing better days ahead with his new single, “Bleu (better with time).” True to the producer’s underground house flair that has taken the electronic music community by storm, the track excels in sparking a groove with straightforward, catchy and melodic production.

Australian singer-songwriter and producer Sycco has collaborated with Flume and Chrome Sparks. The resulting single, “Ripple,” is about to have you hooked. Maximalist at its heart, “Ripple” is a whimsical electronica concoction swirling with elements of hyperpop and drum and bass. Some of its synths sound straight out of a magic wand.

Shining through this sonic interplay of hard and soft, Sycco’s cosmic vocals take front and center—a memorable element that caught Flume’s attention when he was in the studio creating the beat. “I was doing a session in LA wit...
We’ve found the special type of project that can only be described as refreshingly fresh; the types of timeless cuts you’d envision dusted off from the depths of a Bushwick vinyl haunt, labeled “unavailable” when you hunt for them on Shazam. If you don’t already know Brooklyn bedroom producer bad tuner, with his new EP back to my <3, it’s time to get familiar. Released September 23rd via LG105, the EP is an atmospheric ode to sunset-to-sunrise Saturdays, capturing the spirit of an all-night clubbing affair in just four tracks.

Following his heart and continuously challenging the electronic music status quo, Armin van Buuren has released “Live On Love.” After employing an array of AI tech for the techno smash “Computers Take Over The World” and even releasing a guided meditation earlier this summer, it seemed no ground was left untouched for the “A State of Trance” creator. But van Buuren’s latest endeavor finds him linking up a legendary songwriter, Diane Warren, to produce a rare and poignant love song. While van Buuren has worked with countless high-profile artists over the course of his storied career, “Live On Love” is perhaps one of his biggest. Having penned nine #1 hits and 32 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—including Celine Dion’s “Because You Lo...
With anonymity comes many questions—but Malaa silences them with each and every new release. The latest record from the masked house music superstar is “Deep,” a collaboration with Yung Felix and French compatriot DJ Snake. It’s the last single to drop ahead of Malaa’s long-awaited debut album, Don Malaa, due out next week. “Deep” is dark, rhythmic and down-and-dirty house music at its finest. The new single opts for a more soulful sound than its predecessor, the gritty G-House banger “Hypnotic.” Nevertheless, it’s representative of signature Malaa: a bona fide club record oozing with the panache of a dance music flag-bearer.
