Mz Worthy Kicks Off Pride Month With Heart-Pumping House Single, “Feel It”
Dirtybird cofounder Mz Worthy has returned this summer with a new house anthem, “Feel It.” Corresponding with her first Pride Month performance in Los Angeles, the track dropped on June 3rd via Club Sweat. “Feel It” is a four-on-the-floor filler, overlaid with an infectious, singalong refrain that erupts into a dark and dirty drop.

What So Not Reveals Tracklist of Sophomore Album, Drops Lead Single With Oliver Tree and Killer Mike
What So Not‘s sophomore album cycle is officially underway, and he isn’t hesitating to continue bucking convention. The Australian DJ and producer announced the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Not All The Beautiful Things LP is due to arrive this September.

SIDEPIECE Link Up With Lee Foss to Reimagine Ciara’s 2004 Hit, “1, 2 Step”
Grammy-nominated house music tandem SIDEPIECE (Party Favor and Nitti Gritti) have joined forces with Repopulate Mars label boss Lee Foss for their first-ever collaboration. Out now via Insomniac Records, “1, 2 Step” is a surefire dancefloor filler that samples Ciara’s 2004 classic of the same name, which features Missy Elliott. SIDEPIECE and Foss previewed the track at EDC Las Vegas last month. And it goes without saying that it went off: Having collectively remixed the likes of Lana Del Rey, Rudimental, Calvin Harris and many more, SIDEPIECE and Foss are quite the team. They initially met last year, when the latter was impressed after the former rinsed an early demo of the record at Audiotistic San Diego. They then decided to rework “1, 2 Step&#...

That’s because his music channeled the exotic sounds of summer across the world. Uplifting and carefree, Jack’s music was breezy, light and distinct in its employment of eclectic ...

KUČKA Shares First Solo Song of 2022, “Messed Up”
Just weeks after the bombshell release of her collaboration with Flume and QUIET BISON, “ESCAPE,” KUČKA is back for more—this time with her first solo release of the year. And for KUČKA, this one has been years in the making. In fact, it wasn’t until several months ago that “Messed Up” was dusted off and completed after vexing the artist for years. The final “Messed Up” tantalizingly pairs an eerie, flute-like melody with KUČKA’s signature cosmic vocal tone, swirling amongst the colorful chaos of its synths. Masterfully it brings together U.K. garage and hyperpop, building on dreamy sound design and energized breaks to maximize the song’s disorienting, mesmeric effect. “I’m under a spell that’s hard to b...
Calvin Harris Drops Lead Single From “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2” With Dua Lipa and Young Thug: Listen to “Potion”
Calvin Harris eagerly tried to warn us about Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2. Aside from calling it the “maddest album” he’s ever assembled, details were few and far between as to when we could expect to hear it, and who else would be included. That all changed last week, however, when Harris dropped a teaser of epic proportions, revealing the project’s lead single “Potion” alongside Dua Lipa and Young Thug. Harris and Lipa previously made magic in the studio with the alluring “One Kiss,” a track that has since gone on to amass over 1.3 billion streams while solidifying itself among the most successful tracks on Spotify of all-time. Incidentally, “One Kiss” was also released in 2017, the same year Harris debuted the wildly succ...
