While it may not be reminiscent of the duo’s signature dubstep sound, it’s a summery jam befit for a Fourth of July Weekend release. “I Took A Ride” arrives right before Zeds Dead’s annual “Dead Rocks” event kicks off in Colorado. The duo are set to play five sets across the entire weekend: two at Red ...

Tiësto has a new album on the horizon, and his latest single has the feel of one that encapsulates its most anthemic qualities. With its hypnotic deep house grooves, “Hot In It” is rooted in the formulaic style of a modern Tiësto dance anthem. The new track features a swaggy Charli XCX, whose sultry vocal flair is as potent as ever.

Los Angeles-based dance music duo Bonnie X Clyde are back with “In Too Deep,” a heartfelt single borne from a turbulent time in their personal lives. “In Too Deep” is a slow-burning tidal wave of captivating lyricism and aching sound design.

Skream and Jackmaster’s “The Attention Deficit Track” is a shot in the arm fit for powering dance music fans through the wee hours of the morning. Part of Skream’s forthcoming EP on CircoLoco Records, “The Attention Deficit Track” is an immediate attention-grabber by way of its frenetic, gated vocals.
