Pegboard Nerds and Sophon Team Up for Drum & Bass Banger “Shine”
The relationship between Pegboard Nerds and Monstercat is the gift that keeps on a giving. The Scandinavian bass music duo are longtime favorites of the Monstercat faithful, releasing music on the powerhouse indie electronic music label at a dizzying pace over the course of the last decade. Tracks like 2012’s “Disconnected” and 2016’s “Weaponize” continue to be rinsed by their dance music contemporaries in DJ sets and music festival performances. Pegboard Nerds have now returned to Monstercat with a riveting single called “Shine,” which arrives under the imprint’s “Uncaged” banner. A drum & bass banger, the new track was produced in collaboration with fellow electronic music duo Sophon, the side project of...
Moore Kismet Welcomes “Next Chapter” With Stunning Pauline Herr Collab, “Parallel Heartbreak”
“The purpose of my music is to exemplify my truths,” said Moore Kismet in a recent press release. “That’s what my music has always been for me: a way to get my stories and my thoughts out.” And they mean it—at only 17 years old, the prodigious producer is already known for wearing their heart on their sleeve. Now, as they enter a self-proclaimed “next chapter,” it’s clear that this guiding philosophy is here to stay. Kicking off this era is “Parallel Heartbreak” (with Pauline Herr), a fluttering melodic trap ballad which expresses the fear of heartbreak that comes with the embrace of new love. The song dropped today, January 7th, via Thrive Music. “Parallel Heartbreak” begins with a sublime arrangement of plucks, which are s...

Maren Morris Returns With ‘Circles Around This Town’
Way back in 2021, Maren Morris received a pretty strong billing on the 2022 version of Stagecoach. Morris is the second name in bold on Friday night (opening night), which implied (subtly) that something new was (is?) on the way. We got our first taste of what’s to come when she shared “Circles Around This Town.” It’s her first song since her second album, 2019’s Girl, and references songs like “80s Mercedes” and “My Church.” Here’s what she had to say about the song and elaborated on its meaning. “I could see the visuals for ‘Circles Around This Town’ the moment I wrote the song. I’ve always been so inspired by the industrial, blown out colors of music videos from the 90s, so Harper Smith and I wanted the aesthetics of this video to reflect that grainy, devil-may-care attitude of all my f...

There’s a lot to look forward to in electronic dance music in 2022, but one of the year’s most anticipated albums is coming sooner than later. Dubstep superstar Excision is set to drop his fifth album, Onyx, next week. Considering its his first since 2018’s Apex, enthusiasm from around the bass music community is at a fever pitch, especially after he unveiled a brilliant new single today. Excision has teamed up with fellow electronic music virtuoso Dion Timmer and promising singer-songwriter Alexis Donn (under her EDM alias, Donna Tella) for “End Of The World,” a stunning melodic bass tune.

Swedish House Mafia Unveil Orchestral Rework of 2010 Dance Anthem, “One”
You probably haven’t heard Swedish House Mafia quite like this before. The veteran electronic music trio have joined forces with Swedish compatriot Jacob Mühlrad for “One Symphony,” a classical rework of one of the most prized singles in their discography. Mühlrad, one of the most renowned composers in Scandinavia, has reimagined the generational dance anthem through an orchestral lens. Swedish House Mafia released “One” way back in July 2010, when its inescapable melody helped catapult the group to the upper echelon of electronic music. And the new orchestral arrangement, the group said, harkens back to those days due to the way it was originally composed. “When we first created ‘One’ we created it like an orche...
Watch the Gripping Music Video for Alison Wonderland’s Must-Listen Single, “Fear of Dying”
With a new album on the horizon, Alison Wonderland is primed for a monster year. And she’s wasted no time in 2022, unveiling a brand new single called “Fear of Dying” alongside an intimate music video. “Fear of Dying” taps into her trap music roots, using brass stabs and frenetic arpeggios in its sublime drops. Directed by Brandon Dermer, who has worked with Dillon Francis and Panic! at the Disco, among others, the woozy video follows a whirling Wonderland as she wanders through a city in a catatonic state. The music video, one of the most gripping of her career, takes a dark turn at its coda, when she is kidnapped—by herself. Here Wonderland is as captivating as she is haunting, twisting the knife into her dualities. Check out the “Fear o...

Perfume Genius Remixes Live’s ‘Lightning Crashes’
Perfume Genius rang in the new year with a remix of “Lightning Crashes,” the standout track from Live‘s 1994 album Throwing Copper. Mike Hadreas stretches the iconic song to seven and a half minutes, but once it gets to the third line, “The placenta falls to the floor,” it gets stuck on a loop. “What if the angel never opened their eyes? What if the confusion never set in? Something to think about as we start this new year,” Hadreas wrote about the remix. Listen to Perfume Genius’ meditative “Lightning Crashes” remix below.
