Listen to Fort Knox Five and Lazy Syrup Orchestra’s Trippy G-Funk Track, “Start the Ride”
Jumpstart the weekend with Fort Knox Five and Lazy Syrup Orchestra’s first-ever collab. Despite many years of friendship, the two groups have yet to collaborate on an original tune—until now.

With nearly two decades of experience under their belt, each release from Fort Knox Five offers an eclectic mix of funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop and electronic music. Ultimately, the goal has always been to take listeners on a journey, and their new single is no exception. “Pack your bags, the psychedelic funk ship is about to set sail with ...
NGHTMRE and SLANDER Unfurl New Chapter In Collaborative Saga With Emotive Single, “Fall Into Me”
The latest offering in the saga of NGHTMRE and SLANDER is a tonal switch-up from the “gud” vibrations of yesteryear. Their new single “Fall Into Me,” the lead from NGHTMRE’s forthcoming debut album, sees the bass music virtuoso back on a collision course with his most frequent collaborators. However, unlike prior efforts, “Fall Into Me” is characterized by heartstring-tugging verses and somber chord progressions. SLANDER and Dylan Matthew, seemingly have hit-making down to a science, and “Fall Into Me” has the ingredients to continue the trend. Matthew’s vocals are precluded by a melancholic piano solo in the track’s introduction. The “Love Is Gone” vocalist does what he does best, delivering a powerful ver...

Nicki Minaj & Coi Leray Team Up For Colorful New Single “Blick Blick”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @coileray / Instagram Coi Leray and Nicki Minaj‘s new single “Blick Blick” has officially arrived. After a slight delay, the world has finally received the highly anticipated single one month after Benzino, father of Coi Leray, announced the collaboration on Clubhouse–resulting in the project almost not happening. Pushing past the premature announcement, the duo’s official colorful announcement dropped earlier this week with Leray dropping the surprise first, captioning her post, “trendsetters loading”—a clear indication the single will appear on her upcoming debut album, Trendsetters; along with the cover art which is splashed with bright pinks and blues and shows Nicki and Coi standing side by side holding prop guns. As previously reported, prior to the...

Claptone Releases Remix Pack for “Feel This Way” Ahead of Huge Masquerade Events
When it comes to writing songs that get dancefloors moving, there’s no one quite like Claptone. On “Feel This Way,” the second track off his album Closer, he yet again demonstrated his songwriting and sound design mastery. With the release of a brand new remix pack, Claptone invited longtime collaborators Andhim and Gettoblaster to breathe new life into the song. “The first time I asked Andhim for a remix was around 2015 for a track on my first album Charmer and I’ve been asking and pushing them ever since,” Claptone said. “I’m very happy that they said yes to remix ‘Feel This Way.’” Gettoblaster takes Claptone’s sophisticated sound and infuses a Detroit underground vibe with a pulsing bass line. “We are so excited abou...

Amelie Lens’ Exhale Records Releases Charity Compilation to Aid Humanitarian Efforts In Ukraine
The residents of Exhale Records are coming together to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine with a charity compilation, Together with Ukraine! Helmed by Amelie Lens, the Belgium-based imprint has assembled a team of techno stalwarts for a 14-track album. Lens herself opens things up with a tone-setting rework of her 2017 original, “Purge.” Lens, who was named one of EDM.com‘s Best Music Producers of 2021, pumps up the energy of the original with an accentuated, thumping kick and powerful synths reminiscent of a prior era of old-school rave. The ode to the underground continues with the acid rave stylings of Ahl Iver’s “Feel The Groove,” the frenetic cadence of Lokier’s “Broken,” and Charlie Sparks and Frazi.er’s ...
Vini Vici and Berg Breathe New Life Into The Beloved’s 1993 Hit, “Sweet Harmony”
Vini Vici and Berg have turned back the clock to 1993, reimagining The Beloved’s club classic, “Sweet Harmony.” The superstar psytrance outfit eschewed the electrifying elements of their signature sound here, opting for a more hypnotic feel. Melancholic chords and feathery pads highlight the airy arrangement, before Vini Vici and Berg unload a four-on-the-floor drop with spacey synths. The production of Berg, a budding Israeli electronic music artist, adds layers of emotive sound design to the revamped “Sweet Harmony.” All in all, it’s a unique blend of dance-pop, progressive, and psytrance that represents yet another solid addition to Vini Vici’s venerated discography. “‘Sweet Harmony’ is one of those tr...
Thom Yorke Surprise-Releases New Song ‘5.17’
Thom Yorke has been focusing efforts on his Radiohead side project The Smile, which made it that much more surprising when he released a new solo track called “5.17” without warning this morning. Though it’s unclear why the song came out today, it may not be a coincidence that its arrival coincides with the third episode of Peaky Blinders’ sixth season — Yorke and his bandmate Jonny Greenwood reportedly contributed music to the show. “Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood contributed some original stuff,” Peaky Blinders director Anthony Byrne previously told NME. “I’m over the moon about all of that. The music has always been really important historically, and I was really keen to bring a dramatic score into it. We’re using that much more in this season. It’s a much ...

Listen to KDrew and Skye Holland’s Spellbinding House Track, “Needed You”
After his latest dance music masterstroke, KDrew has once again reinforced his standing as one of the scene’s most versatile producers. Today, the virtuosic DJ and electronic music producer unveiled “Needed You,” a gripping house track featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Skye Holland. Holland provides a stunning topline here, which floats atop KDrew’s anthemic production with a wispy cadence. In “Needed You,” KDrew turns back the clock to the 2010s, when electro and progressive house reigned supreme. He tightropes the wire between the two, interpolating dark reece bass and eerie arpeggios in the verses. Classic, soaring trance leads then take hold in the bridge, which ultimately builds and culminates in a gripping drop. Here, KDrew chops up an...
