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...

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...

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 ...

Wave Racer Announces Long-Awaited Debut Album: Listen to the Lead Single
The debut album from electronic music virtuoso Wave Racer has been a long time coming. Considered one of the most groundbreaking future bass producers in the scene, the Australian beatsmith broke through in the mid-2010s with a bubbly, quirky sound all his own. He quickly garnered support from some of the industry’s most celebrated artists, such as Skrillex, Porter Robinson, and Flume. “I don’t think I was ready for any of [the recognition],” he said in a press release. “I’m normally very cautious with the decisions that I make… I thought I was managing the attention at the time but I wasn’t coping very healthily. I was so worried about how people were going to perceive me if I made one wrong step. It was a recipe for anxiety.”...
Listen to Elephante’s Pensive New Single “Holy Ghosts”
In 2019, it seemed like the trajectory of dance-pop mainstay Elephante was headed for the clouds. In addition to a 10-show headlining run, an anticipated project called Diamond Days was slated for release that fall, which would be the first to feature his own vocals. But as the year went on, Diamond Days never materialized. And following the onset of the pandemic just months later, nothing else did, either. Instead, 2020 saw Elephante take more than a year off from solo releases. That all changed this May with his triumphant return, “High Water.” Featuring a scintillating electric guitar melody and vocals from Elephante himself, it came paired with an original music video. Now he’s on a roll—and he’s outdone himself, picking up right w...
