Kumarion Takes His Sound to the Next Level On Rumbling Drum & Bass Single, “Back Talk”
When talking about the future of bass music, the conversation can’t be had without mentioning Seattle’s Kumarion. His latest single “Back Talk,” out via Bassrush, is a clear demonstration of why. Much like his breakout hit “Want It,” “Back Talk” sets the tone for Kumarion’s project for the remainder of the year. From start to finish, the pace is unwavering, forcing erratic movement from eager listeners with its intoxicating flow. It’s one of his best tunes yet, utilizing crisp, pounding percussion as a bedrock to lay down the gnarliest bass he could cook up. Kumarion came out the gate hot in 2020, releasing “Want It” to critical acclaim. His success didn’t stop there, however, following with a monster 2021 that w...

Watch the Trippy Music Video for Hardwell’s Menacing Single, “F*CKING SOCIETY”
After torpedoing a four-year hiatus, it’s clear that Hardwell wants to make a statement with each new release. His latest is “F*CKING SOCIETY,” a menacing future rave anthem that arrived today by way of his Revealed Recordings imprint. Following the release of his two comeback tracks, “BROKEN MIRROR” and “INTO THE UNKNOWN,” the exhilarating single is the most compelling example of Hardwell’s new, cerebral direction so far. The lyrics of “F*CKING SOCIETY” are existentialist in nature, exploring our tendency as humans to willingly ignore the notion that we are merely cogs in the machine. A guttural voice conveys Hardwell’s message loud and clear: “They know our bullshit in the fucking society / Besides saying n...

Hear Joseph Reuben’s Brooding New Songs ‘Lovechaser’ and ‘Gimme Love’
On the heels of his acclaimed 2021 EP Welcome to Dreamland, film composer-turned-singer/songwriter Joseph Reuben has released a new double single, “LOVECHASER / “Gimme Love.” The tracks were co-mixed by FKA twigs collaborator Lee Avant, while the cover art features supermodel Daisy Lowe. Powered by Reuben’s soulful vocals and sleek production, the new songs extend his fascination with a bygone Hollywood era that inspired him to leave his religious upbringing in London and pursue a career in the arts in New York years ago. “‘Gimme Love’ is about wanting attention, affection, and connection, whereas ‘LOVECHASER’ is about finally finding connection, but it’s broken, so you want to run. You want to stay for the fear of hurting the other, but that always results in hurting the both of...
Listen to Swedish House Mafia’s Stunning Debut Album, a Reminder That Even the Most Broken Can Heal With Time
And just like that, they’re back. It’s hard to believe we’re just now hearing the debut album from Swedish House Mafia. Sauntering at the pinnacle of an eruptive EDM boom in the early 2010s, the trio had reached the promised land on the heels of their many generational dance anthems. But a fractured dynamic in the band led to its shocking disbandment, which deflated the electronic music community like a left hook from Mike Tyson. And as Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, and Steve Angello explored solo endeavors, the group’s detachment ultimately settled in as an axiom that their once-harmonic relationship had gone irretrievably sour. But even the most broken things can heal with time. That brings us to today, when Swedish House Mafia finally released Paradise Ag...

Chase & Status Announce 6th Album, Release Drum & Bass Single “Mixed Emotions”
If you were lucky enough to attend a random rave thrown by Chase & Status‘ in late 2021, you might just be featured on the cover of their upcoming album. The legendary U.K. duo’s new album, What Came Before, appears to be borne out of a desire to capture the essence of rave energy and emotion in its rawest forms. Back in November, they hosted a rave in order to capture an image for the record’s cover, deciding to ban cellphones at the event. “We wanted to create an image that captured the very human compulsion to gather in a dark room and dance and sweat,” Chase & Status said in a press release shared with EDM.com by Casablanca Records. “Such scenes have a different weight to them after they were off the table for a...
