It’s about skipping town, driving all night and knowing you’ll always have a home to come back to.” In addition to the release of “Call Me Home,” Sasami also detailed her spring headlining tour which includes supporting dates for Haim in the U.S. and Mitski in the EU. Sasami’s own tour kicks off in early March at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, Vermont, and concludes in mid-April at th...
Flume Drops Cinematic Music Video for Lead Single Off Upcoming “Palaces” Album: Watch
Flume has revealed the title of his long-awaited third studio album, Palaces. Alongside the announcement comes the release of a cinematic music video for the record’s lead single “Say Nothing,” a haunting electronic track featuring vocals from Australian compatriot MAY-A. The release date of Palaces, Flume’s first album since 2016’s critically acclaimed Skin, has not yet been announced. The virtuosic dance music producer has sporadically teased the project since late 2019, when he told Billboard he was “on a mission” to finish it after releasing March’s Hi This Is Flume tape. He recently fanned the flames of Palaces by teasing a momentous collaboration with Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn. Watch the trippy “Say Nothing” music video...
A Hundred Drums Drops Thunderous Deadbeats Track, “If I Have To”
A Hundred Drums‘ first release of 2022 comes in with explosive energy on Deadbeats with a new single and music video called “If I Have To” (with Saule). In the summer of 2021, A Hundred Drums released her powerful Enough Is Enough EP on Deadbeats. The record outlined the struggles of being Black in America and condemning systemic racism, among other timely motifs. Alongside the release of Enough Is Enough, Deadbeats also released a mini-documentary that provided fans a detailed look inside the making of the EP. “If I Have To” is eerie, haunting, and transformative. The track begins with a looming pad and frenetic percussion before unfurling into a thunderous, deep bass progression. A Hundred Drums pairs her ferocious drumming skills with a barrage of electroni...
The Linda Lindas Announce Debut Album Growing Up, Share Title Track
The Linda Lindas won over our hearts last year with their viral performance of “Racist, Sexist Boy,” and now they’re gifting us with a full collection of coming of age, punk rock classics. The quartet’s debut album is aptly titled Growing Up, and its cover art appropriately pays homage to the girls’ love for cats — featuring illustrated versions of each member rocking out as a feline-human hybrid. Speaking of cats, the band also shared a video for the album’s title track that stars their animal companions. The clip was directed by Humberto Leon, co-founder of fashion brand Opening Ceremony and owner of Los Angeles restaurant CHIFA, and was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. “Directing my first video for The Linda Lindas was a dream come true because I love the message and voice the girls h...

Rich DietZ Set the Tone for Huge 2022 With Must-Listen House Banger, “Work Song”
After closing the book on a breakthrough 2021, Rich DietZ have kicked off the year with a brand new single called “Work Song.” In typical Rich DietZ fashion, the track is a house music stroke of genius. Arriving ahead of the spring season, “Work Song” isn’t a breezy poolside track, but a banger designed to induce noodle-flailing pool riots. Cover art for Rich DietZ’s new single, “Work Song.” One of the more coveted unreleased tunes from their repertoire, “Work Song” interlaces hip-hop-inspired samples in its arrangement, which beautifully blends elements of tech and G-House. Rich DietZ first debuted the single last year at EDC Week in Las Vegas, where they dropped it during a rip-roaring performance at Élia Beach Club cl...
Listen to a Preview of Flume’s First Original Music In Two Years, “Say Nothing”
Flume has announced the release date of “Say Nothing,” a brand new original track featuring vocals from Australian compatriot MAY-A. Due out this Wednesday, February 2nd, the song will arrive alongside an eerie music video and a live Q&A session with Flume. There’s no doubt that a hot topic will be his highly anticipated upcoming studio album, which will be his first since 2016’s critically acclaimed Skin. The virtuosic dance music producer has sporadically teased the project since late 2019, when he told Billboard he was “on a mission” to finish it after releasing March’s Hi This Is Flume tape. Flume confirmed the album in a 2020 radio interview and went on to unveil some of its visual components in an ensuing NFT drop. He also recen...
AWAY’s New EP Teeters On a Razor’s Edge Between Self-Actualization and Destruction
Since blowing up in meteoric fashion with the groundbreaking “Sleepwalker” in 2017, AWAY has continued to be deliberate and calculating in his approach when it comes to releasing music. Never one to adopt the approach of quantity over quality, he has shown an unwavering commitment to his brand of harrowing surrealism, painting consistently powerful, hair-raising images in the minds of listeners with each installment. That being the case, when AWAY revealed last summer that he had an EP in the works, we were excited to hear what the producer could accomplish in a longer-form setting. From the creaky hinge-like sounds in the opening seconds of “Ritual” to the lingering tiptoe of piano keys in the closing “Blue,” self:antiself arrives with the immersive son...
Flume Reimagines PinkPantheress’ “Noticed I Cried” With Trippy Drum & Bass Remix
In the spirit of PinkPantheress‘ to hell with it remix EP, Flume throws caution to the wind, trying his hand once again at drum & bass music. Perhaps after seeing the reception of 2020’s single “The Difference” (with Toro y Moi), Flume was inspired to dig deeper into his affinity for energizing drum & bass. PinkPantheress’ original “Noticed I cried” had laid the potential groundwork for a feverishly rhythmic remix, and leave it to Flume to deliver in spades. Flume pins a dizzying PinkPantheress vocal loop at the center of the track, creating a trippy atmosphere. He plays up these psychedelic aspects as the track progresses with frenetic vocal pitch bends and distortion. As the vocals gradually swirl into the background, space is made f...
MeSo Launches New Label, Drops Bass Music Compilation Stacked With Young Talent
In a crowded bass music space, MeSo is looking to create a niche for himself as well as his endless list of talented friends. The Chicago-based producer has launched his new imprint, JIYU, alongside a compilation filled to the brim with forward-thinking bass music. Liberate Vol. 1 contains a handful of names many may already know as well as a healthy serving of newcomers. The entire compilation is incredibly inspired, unbound by genre to allow a clean creative flow from each artist. There’s never a dull moment throughout the entire record, with innovation consistently spilling over as it progresses. It’s difficult to single out any tracks in here as standouts due to the sheer quality of each. Super Future’s “Make You Wanna” is a particularly intoxic...
Black Tiger Sex Machine Debut Transformative Sound On Third Album: Listen
After months of teasing fans with high-powered singles, Black Tiger Sex Machine have finally released their hotly anticipated third full-length album, Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld. Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld takes Black Tiger Sex Machine’s rumbling sound to new heights. Each of the album’s 12 tracks takes listeners on a journey through the post-apocalyptic soundscape they’ve long cultivated, weaving through various genres with a heavy-hitting undertone at its core. The many vocalists they’ve enlisted, such as Hyro The Hero and Youngr, help tell the story the trio has written. “The Devil’s Instrument” is one of the best examples of Black Tiger Sex Machine’s transformation, as the cinematic tune delivers an anthemic feel b...

Equal parts artist and entrepreneur, The Librarian is best known for her innovative DJ sets as well as her cultural influence as the co-founder and music programmer of the beloved boutique music festival, Bass Coast.
