It’s with a dear friend of mine, Daniel...

We’re running out of superlatives for Sentio. In a matter of a month, Martin Garrix‘s debut club album has flat out dominated the electronic music landscape—and it isn’t even out yet. He’s released a staggering eight singles from the record, which is now a week from hitting streaming platforms in full. The latest single is “Find You,” a collaboration with Dutch compatriot Justin Mylo and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Dewain Whitmore, who teamed up with Garrix nearly four years ago for 2018’s “Burn Out.” They’ve gone the progressive house route this time around, releasing a euphoric progressive house anthem with aching, lovelorn lyricism courtesy of Whitmore.

Four years after Avicii‘s tragic death, Aloe Blacc has shared a touching tribute to his longtime friend and creative collaborator. In remembrance of the late dance music legend, Blacc has released a video wherein he performs a “Universal Language” version of their collaborative mega-hit, “Wake Me Up.” Music often serves as a way for people separated by language barriers to communicate, so the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter performed his new version in three languages: Mandarin, Spanish and English. “Avicii’s music touched the world. Writing the lyrics and recording the vocals on ‘Wake Me Up’ was a transformative experience for me,” Blacc wrote in the caption of the video. “Everywhere I’ve been, no matter the country, music lovers and fans...
No matter how much we grow and adapt, it’s impossible to ignore our roots. Just Flux Pavilion, whose new single harkens back to his pioneering dubstep days of yesteryear. “After a couple years of exploring the space in-between the drops, I woke up one morning with a distinct feeling in my heart that I needed to write a f***ing banger,” said Pavilion, whose new single “Lore” dropped today. “So I’ve done exactly that.” He also said the track lays the foundation for the concept of the “Fluxiverse,” a fictional universe developed by his team over the last four years. Its mystical themes are conveyed by his new song’s eerie spoken-word segment, a soliloquy that serenades us to its eventual climax. “The elder gods...

Eschewing his signature euphoric sound design, ILLENIUM reworked the brooding track into a languid trap tune with a distorted drop.

Another day, another new single from Martin Garrix‘s upcoming album. Sentio is due out on April 29th, but its creator seems intent on letting fans hear as much of its music as possible before it drops in full. Today’s release of “Funk,” a track produced with longtime friend and collaborator Julian Jordan, marks the seventh Sentio single Garrix has unveiled thus far—an unprecedented number for an album rollout. “Funk” is decidedly darker than the other singles from Sentio. Here, the Dutch compatriots produce pulsing leads before morphing the arrangement into a tense build, which culminates in a minimal, spine-tingling electro drop. The riveting single was one of many unreleased records dropped by Garrix in his massive Ultra 2022 set, joining fellow S...

Grab your hairspray and sweatbands because The Midnight have dove headfirst into glam metal for their latest single.

Electrifying guitar riffs and anthemic vocals will conjure visuals of crazy hair, tight jeans and a sweaty crowd losing their mind. The bold shift to a glam metal direction was not always the duo’s intent. According to a press release, “Change Your...
