Darren Tate and Above & Beyond’s Jono Grant Join Forces for Synthwave-Inspired Alias, JODA
Above & Beyond‘s Jono Grant has caught the synthwave bug. Working in secret alongside longtime friend and fellow trance producer Darren Tate, Grant has formulated a new collaborative alias, JODA. Dropping their debut track, “We Find Ourselves,” Tate and Grant say the single is inspired by 2011’s Drive soundtrack, one of the most acclaimed film scores of the modern era. The working relationship between Grant and Tate was first established nearly two decades ago. In 2003, they linked in the studio and produced two melodically dense, uplifting trance singles, “‘Let The Light Shine In” and “Nocturnal Creatures.” As Grant’s career began to take off with Above & Beyond and Tate’s solo career as DT8 prospered, the two...
Listen to Martin Garrix’s Electrifying Debut Club Album, “Sentio”
After an unprecedented run of nine singles—yes, nine—Martin Garrix‘s debut club album is officially here in full. Sentio had been the talk of the town since Garrix’s scene-stealing set at the 2022 Ultra Music Festival, where he showcased the album to an awestruck crowd. He then went on to release a dizzying succession of singles over the course of the last month before today’s complete album, which features two new songs, “Oxygen” (with DubVision and Jordan Grace) and “If We’ll Ever Be Remembered” (with Shaun Farrugia). Spanning 11 tracks, Sentio is flush with cadence and crescendos, oscillating between poignant anthems and electro bangers with attitude. Garrix says he produced the album during the global lockdown period, and after seeing its...
Listen: Slynk Transformed a Sample Pack Tutorial Into a Glitch Hop Goliath, “Bust It”
Known for his funky electronic sound and Albeton tutorials, Australian DJ and producer Slynk generated his new single “Bust It” by showcasing the versatility of a sample pack. Back in January, Slynk uploaded a video to YouTube called the “Biggest Sample Pack Ever,” where he put Black Octopus Sound’s Leviathan IV bundle to the ultimate test. He decided that the best way to showcase the pack’s 6,500-plus sounds would be to create four songs in four different genres, and then put it all together as one. For this endeavor, Slynk chose to experiment with drum & bass, dubstep, glitch hop and synthwave. Watch him break down his process below. Upon completion, the Vancouver-based tastemaker came to realize that one of the songs he had produced for the ...

Wreckno and Super Future Team Up With “Like A G6” Singer DEV for Defiant Single, “EVERYTHING”
Class of 2022 artist Wreckno has teamed up with “Like a G6” singer DEV and Super Future for “EVERYTHING,” a pulverizing track that arrives by way of Four Loko Records. “EVERYTHING” is defiant and genre-bending, interpolating deep bass, snappy percussion and swaggy flows. The music video takes place in an old industrial warehouse and features a classic DeLorean vehicle with the falcon wing doors. The outspoken Wreckno is certainly no stranger to otherworldly sounds and powerful messaging. In 2021, he released his debut EP PANSY, which came one year after his gargantuan collaboration with GRiZ, “Medusa.” That track, a breakthrough for Wreckno, served as a Pride Month anthem.

Madeon Turns Back the Clock In Breezy Banger, “Love You Back”
Madeon is holding the gaze of the electronic music community—and he won’t let go. The French virtuoso has been dazzling fans with his subversive “Good Faith Forever” live show, which just made two scene-stealing appearances at Coachella. And it hasn’t even been a week since he wrapped up his run at the iconic Indio festival, but he’s already back with new music. Madeon has finally released “Love You Back,” a long-awaited track that many fans thought may never escape the depths of his hard drive. He says it was originally intended to be a single on his Grammy-nominated Good Faith album, but despite playing it live at many of his shows, he ultimately “couldn’t figure it out at the time.” Released just in time for summer, the sun-kiss...
Flume Drops Two Mind-Bending Singles From Forthcoming Third Album, “Palaces”: Listen
The rollout of Flume‘s Palaces continues to unravel with kaleidoscopic quality. Two new singles from Flume’s first full-length project since 2019’s Hi This Is Flume mixtape have hit streaming services, including the album’s titular track featuring Damon Albarn. A lingering piano solo coupled with crescendoing soundscapes unfurls to introduce a melancholic vocal from Albarn, who appears roughly midway through “Palaces.” The Gorillaz frontman’s words resonate with a psychedelic, choral-like effect as Flume blasts into a big instrumental finish with lively drums and bursting synth chords. Flume doesn’t skimp on bringing equally vibrant synth work to “ESCAPE,” a collaboration alongside ascendant bass music produc...
The Road to ODESZA’s Fourth Album Continues With Haunting Single, “Behind The Sun”
After the release of ODESZA‘s latest single from their fourth album, one thing has never been more clear: they won’t settle for the ordinary. The tandem have never shied away from roaming new sonic frontiers in their illustrious career, but The Last Goodbye is perhaps their biggest canvas for exploration. Case in point are the album cuts “The Last Goodbye” and “Love Letter,” which embraced house music in a way ODESZA never have before. But their new single, a subversive single called “Behind The Sun,” is markedly more haunting than its predecessors. “Behind The Sun” samples a song recorded by Simin Ghanem, an Iranian classicial singer born in 1944. Ghanem’s Persian chants bellow through ODESZA’s spellbinding sound...
