CloudNone Unveils Dreamy 6-Track EP “Last Train Home” on Monstercat
Making his debut back in 2018, anonymous electronic music producer CloudNone has been poised for a long and successful career in dance music, consistently releasing on some of the scene’s most prestigious labels. CloudNone’s music is as uplifting as it is pensive. Following a landmark performance at ILLENIUM’s recent “Trilogy” show in Las Vegas, he has now unveiled his brand new EP Last Train Home, which undoubtedly marks a testament to his versatility as an artist.

Ninajirachi Returns With Scorching Double-Single on Sable Valley: Listen
Earlier this year, Australian triple-threat DJ, producer, and songwriter Ninajirachi released her stunning True North album in collaboration with Kota Banks.

Trance Legend ATB Unveils New Musical Alias, EANOH: Listen to His Debut Song
German trance legend ATB has long been revered as of the electronic music scene’s most iconic producers.

MK Unveils Flappy Bird-Style Web Game Based on New Song “Chemical”
MK‘s recent dance-pop single “Chemical” is the focal point of a new online game, Chemical Chase. The song’s bubbly harmonies found an unlikely mouthpiece in the official music video, which features a rugged, anthropomorphic Boxer singing along to every word and ear-flapping to the beat. The surreal face of the track has now made his reprise in Chemical Chase, a game in which players must strive to navigate the dog through a neon-washed cityscape. The game play is extremely similar to Flappy Bird, which many will recall was a game that suddenly vanished from the App Store and Google Play store near the height of its release in 2014. At the time, the game’s creator Dong Nguyen said he felt uneasy with his observations as to how addictive the game had become...
Sneaker Pimps Share First Two Singles Off Squaring the Circle
In May, Sneaker Pimps revealed their return by announcing Squaring the Circle — their first album in 18 years.

Jaycen A’mour and Z A K Team Up for Pulsing Tech House Tune “EOTY”
New Zealand meets Miami with “EOTY,” a rumbling new collab from Jaycen A’mour and Z A K. “EOTY” (an acronym for “end of the year”) is a tech house banger in every sense of the term, stomping in right off the bat with a grime-inspired vocal refrain: “When I enter the rave, it’s clear.” The track then builds organically before culminating in a downright mean drop, which tightropes the line between haunting and banging with eerie, siren-like fills. Meanwhile, a pulsing bassline ebbs and flows in its cadence, slithering through the drop alongside ominous plucks. A’mour and Z A K refuse to keep their feet off the pedal in the break, reintroducing the vocal refrain in a head-bobbing section that doubles as a mind-bending...
