Listen to Tiësto’s Intoxicating Remix of ACRAZE’s Breakout Hit, “Do It To It”
After months of teasing, Tiësto has finally unveiled his hotly anticipated remix of ACRAZE‘s global hit, “Do It To It.” Tiësto’s remix is an artful reimagining of the original from ACRAZE, who was recently named to EDM.com‘s Class of 2022. The Dutch dance music legend infused a fresh dose of his signature production into “Do It To It,” beautifully interpolating the classic Cherish lyrics with an electrifying, four-on-the-floor beat. Building on the ingenious simplicity of ACRAZE’s original, Tiësto rendition is a dancefloor filler—just like its progenitor. It’s the first official remix of the international house hit, though many artists have released their own unofficial edits, such as Zedd’s viral Squid Game ma...

Late last month, Sebastian Ingrosso teased a massive collaboration between Swedish House Mafia and fabled guitarist Sting called “Redlight”.

More Than Just a Phase: Said The Sky Drops Nostalgic Sophomore Album, “Sentiment”
After attending high school in the early 2010s, it’s tough not to feel sentimental about Said The Sky‘s new album and the definitive new direction in his sophomore album. While it was easy to be excited about Sentiment based on its singles alone, two of which arrived immediately prior to the album’s full release, some of the album’s most surprising—and nostalgic—cuts come with the full release. Between appearances by We The Kings, Parachute, The Maine, State Champs and more, the tracklist of Sentiment oftentimes more closely resembles a Warped Tour lineup than anything else. In fact, we’re still wondering how Said The Sky managed to pull a very rare feature from Motion City Soundtrack on the wittingly self-deprecating “Blue Etern...
Tianna Esperanza Unveils Debut Single ‘Lewis’
Rising artist Tianna Esperanza has shared her debut track “Lewis.” [embedded content][embedded content] The song slinks and struts through its powerful message propped against a relaxed-jazzy beat. Esperanza’s lyrics fall off the tongue as she savors every word on the track, emphasizing lyrics with a spoken-word-like cadence. Her sultry tone evokes a long-lost era of jazz helmed by acts such as Nina Simone. Her grandmother is punk rock icon Paloma McLardy who founded the 1970s band The Slits and later played with The Raincoats. The track serves as an homage to Lewis H. Michaux, the owner of Harlem’s historic African National Memorial Bookstore. Esperanza, a 21-year old London-based bi-racial artist, finds herself inspired by Michaux’s work. “Lewis woke me up to the reality of classism, rac...
