Chris Liebing, Boston 168, More Contribute to Anfisa Letyago’s First-Ever Remix Pack: Listen
The latest project by Anfisa Letyago is here—and it’s a three-parter. First up is Listen & Nisida (Remixed) Vol 1, a four-track remix pack of tracks off the techno producer’s 2021 EPs, Listen and Nisida. Featuring reworks by DJ Rush, Adiel, Boston 168 and Chris Liebing, the EP’s 25 minutes are a techno pièce de résistance, acting as a showcase of the styles that are currently taking over the genre. Under Boston 168’s care, for example, “Gravity” becomes eerily otherworldly, as a mischievous new synth line flows tauntingly alongside Letyago’s echoing vocals. Liebing, on the other hand, opted for a more minimalistic feel with his take on “Not There,” stripping the track down to a four-on-the-floor beat and unclutt...

11 Years Later, Steve Aoki Delivers Dose of Dance Music Nostalgia With Remix of “No Beef”
Steve Aoki and Afrojack‘s “No Beef” became a gateway to discovering dance music for a new generation of listeners. Now, 11 years following its release, Aoki is rekindling the magic through a fresh perspective. In 2011, the frenetic tune with vocals from Miss Palmer was an instant attention-grabber given the intersection of Aoki’s electro house characteristics and Afrojack’s influence within the stylistically adjacent Dutch house movement. Never one to tie himself to any given genre, Aoki didn’t hesitate to tweak the winning formula over a decade later. With his new remix, he shakes up the drum arrangement with the kicks, snares, and percussion more consistent with the tech house arrangements dominating the airwaves today. At heart, however, the new versi...

Renowned electronic music producer Bonobo has unveiled Fragments, a new album and a magnum opus in what has been an illustrious career. The highly anticipated record is his seventh studio album and follows Migration, which was released five years ago nearly to the date.

Having spent that time immersed in the natural world, he produced the new album by in interla...

Mitski Unveils Latest Single ‘Love Me More’
We’re less than a month out from Mitski’s latest album being released. The rollout has felt like forever (the first single “Working for the Knife” was released in October), but every song has been worth it. The latest one, “Love Me More,” which was released today, joins that club. The song is an upbeat, new wave-infused that really takes off. Yet at the same time, the song has the same wrenching lyrics that’s made Mitski a favorite in the first place. [embedded content][embedded content] “As ‘Love Me More’ was written pre-pandemic, lyrics like ‘If I keep myself at home’ had different meanings than what they would now, but I kept them on the album because I found that some of the sentiments not only remained the same, but were accentuated by the lockdown,” she sad in a statement. “‘Love Me ...
