ISOxo Strikes Gold With Frenetic Trap Flip of “Chargé”: Listen
ISOxo isn’t afraid of taking the sounds of bass music’s most seasoned vets into overdrive. The Sable Valley artist and EDM.com Class of 2022 inductee has had nothing short of a banner year thus far, and after dropping the blistering “REDloop” last month, he’s showing there’s certainly more where that came from. ISOxo dug deep and unearthed a classic in Kaaris’ “Chargé,” which was subsequently remixed by Mr. Carmack and then again by Boombox Cartel. Building off what the two esteemed producers started, he slows the track’s tempo, allowing its magnificent brass fanfare to build and linger while providing a suspenseful backdrop for the mayhem that follows. As fans of the blossoming bass music virtu...

Take a Trip to the “Walkerverse” With Alan Walker’s New Album
Welcome to the Walkerverse. Alan Walker has officially released the first installment of his forthcoming album, complete with three previously unreleased tracks. Released June 17th via Sony Music, Walkerverse Pt. 1 is a microcosm of Walker at his finest, blending melodic bass and future house with orchestral melodies and bright, euphoric synths. “Adventure Time” (with Philter) kicks it off with grandeur, welcoming listeners into Walker’s universe with a cinematic build and epic progressive house drop. Then there’s “Somebody Like U” (with frequent collaborator Au/Ra), a bright and airy fist-pumper that bridges the elegance of a ballad with the energy of slap house. In the song’s official music video, its ethos pairs perfectly with fo...
Party Favor’s Sophomore Album “RESET” Is a Window Into the Struggle of Overcoming Anxiety
With his sophomore album, Party Favor felt the need to take one step back in order to move two steps forward. Despite a successful career path thus far by all accounts—one that garnered the producer over half a billion streams in the process—Favor found himself feeling a desire to disrupt his own status quo. At its core, RESET achieves exactly that. While his bold new chapter is finally reaching the public’s ears, the album touches on some of the producer’s limiting beliefs, including tormented feelings of anxiousness and the existential pressure that comes with being an artist. The album starts with a splash of cold water on the barnstorming “With Regard to Your Speakers,” a tone-setting introduction that bellows with ominous growl synths. The opening act is rounde...
