Tisoki Pays Tribute to UK Roots on Debut Album “01953”
After weeks of teasing his debut album, including the release of singles “HOLD ON ME” and “SENSITIVE,” Tisoki has finally unveiled 01953 via Monstercat. In his latest endeavor, Tisoki has taken a more introspective approach that was inspired by his time in quarantine. Instead of writing earth-shattering, festival-ready tunes, he’s created a thoughtful story that gives fans a taste of his upbringing in Wymondham, UK. Tisoki’s diverse skill set is on full display throughout 01953. He expertly shifts between moodier, melancholic tracks to hard-hitting bangers, subverting expectations over and over again. His UK roots shine bright on the 10-track LP, as elements of old-school dubstep, grime, and garage are infused within various tracks ...
Listen to Galantis and Don Diablo’s First-Ever Collab, “Tears For Later”
Galantis and Don Diablo have joined forces for their first-ever collab, a scintillating electronic jam called “Tears For Later.” Released by way of Diablo’s HEXAGON imprint, the track is a bit of a departure for both Galantis and Diablo in terms of its composition. The downtempo arrangement harkens back to the latter’s summer 2016 hit “What We Started” (with Steve Aoki and Lush & Simon), eschewing his euphoric future house style for a woozier feel at a head-bopping 95 BPM. However, its sound design is signature of both of the dance music superstar acts. The distinct, saccharine vocal style of Galantis is an ideal fit for the bubbly synths and fluttering arpeggios of Diablo. You can listen to “Tears For Later”...
Adventure Club, Soar and Luma Drop Must-Listen Melodic Dubstep Cut, “Safe With Me”
The path to Adventure Club‘s sophomore album is clearer than ever after the duo dropped one of its singles, a must-listen melodic dubstep track called “Safe With Me.” Produced alongside Soar, “Safe With Me” is nothing short of breathtaking. Luma provides a gripping topline, brilliantly singing about finding solace in the arms of another while the world crumbles—a concept we can all relate to after the hellscape of a year that was 2020. Her vocals serenade hypnotic production in the verse, which builds and eventually culminates in a classic Adventure Club drop. The song is far from cookie-cutter, and its depth deepens as the arrangement glides along. The second drop is a masterclass in musical composition, thanks to the clever sync...
Seven Lions Debuts Unreleased Collaboration With Lights at Red Rocks
With a huge performance comes huge surprises. During his momentous Red Rocks show earlier this week, melodic bass superstar Seven Lions showcased a massive, brand new collaboration with Lights. Thankfully, a fan was able to capture the surreal moment in a clip later shared by a fan account dedicated to the producer’s Ophelia Records imprint. The majority of the recording comprises Lights’ scintillating vocals, but viewers are also able to hear a section of a soaring melodic dubstep drop towards the end. Following widespread speculation about who the vocalist was, Lights eventually chimed in with a smoking gun of a tweet containing a series of “eyes” emojis. At the time of this article’s publication, the track has no known name or release date. We’ll keep...

Disciple Records is no stranger to mega-collaborations, and the latest release on the storied dubstep label is no exception. Virtual Riot, Modestep, and Sum 41’s Frank Zummo have joined forces for a new track called “This Could Be Us.” The execution on “This Could Be Us” is perfect, as all three artists have managed to infuse each of their sounds into a heartfelt dubstep smash. Pounding drums, soaring synths, and devastating bass lead the charge in this punk-inspired crossover banger. Virtual Riot and Modestep, two of the most revered sound designers in the bass music scene, have had big years thus far. VR released his Head To Head Vol. 2 EP alongside Barely Alive and contributed production to Justin Bieber’s Justice LP, while Modestep dropped ...

As we begin to pick up the pieces from the aftermath of the global pandemic, “Leaders” speaks to the need to evolve.

By dialing down their usual heavy-hitting bass, the focus is on the storyline, leading a revolution with a riveting reggaeton infusion. Listen to “Leaders” below and find it on streaming platforms here.&nbs...

Blossoming Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Jhay Cortez has teamed up with Skrillex for a new single called “En Mi Cuarto,” which arrived today alongside an official music video starring Mia Khalifa.

Baauer and RL Grime Join Forces for Stunning Drum & Bass Single “Fallaway”: Listen
It’s been almost eight years since Baauer and RL Grime joined forces for 2013’s “Infinite Daps,” a song that has stood the test of time as a trap classic. They’re now back with a new single called “Fallaway,” which arrives under the cloak of their new audiovisual project HÆRNY. “Fallaway” is a departure for the trap music vets, but that doesn’t make it any less groundbreaking. They’ve gone the drum & bass route here, producing a frenetic, radiant banger as the genre’s stateside explosion continues. RL Grime and Baauer have both operated at the bleeding edge of electronic music for nearly a decade now and this track is yet another reminder of their trailblazing approach to sound design.

Redrum Honors Her Father’s Memory With Haunting “Pisces Moon” EP: Listen
Fresh off two 2021 singles on Liquid Stranger’s SSKWAN imprint, Portland-based producer Redrum has returned with the enchanting Pisces Moon EP, which moonlights as an ode to her late father. “When I finished writing this EP, it was right around the time of a New Moon in Pisces. New Moons represent rebirth and new beginnings, and writing this EP really felt like closing a chapter on my life,” Redrum shared in a statement. “I wrote each of these pieces originally as a way to process the trauma of losing my father, who is the reason I got into music in the first place. Each piece is a part of my healing process.” Honoring her father’s memory with shimmering arpeggios and mystical melodies, Pisces Moon showcases Redrum’s technical ability as...
This Artist Recorded Audio From His Own Firing—Then Remixed It Into a Banger
Many musicians channel pain and anguish through music, taking life’s various traumas and negative experiences and turning them into sonic works of art. Though it’s unclear if one of those negative experiences—getting fired from a day job—has led to a vast amount of musical inspiration for most, it has for electronic music producer Joe Monday. While the experience of getting fired might give one inspiration to create art, Monday took things a step further thanks to the fact that he had an actual audio recording of the incident. He used that recording to create “Me Getting Fired,” a “remix” of his dismissal from his former job. The video’s background image portrays a Yandere-style Monday and his former boss, as quotes from the audio recording appear ...

That brings us to yesterday, when renowned electronic music producer KDrew brought Halsey’s 2019 single “Graveyard” back from the dead to produce a haunting remix. Processing the acoustic plucks of the original with a warm fuzz, he repurposes the track into an aching indie dance number that moonlights as a soaring future bass jam.
