After Brooklyn-based dance music veteran DANK previously mentioned that he’s “sitting on a wealth of new music,” that statement is proving to be true. Following the release of his rave-ready remix of Jason Cluff’s “Here For Music” just weeks ago, the techno titan has returned with an original track alongside Frankie Bones, another venerated New York techno tastemaker. “I Can’t Stop Raving” features a percussive four-on-the-floor beat, which churns along with thick kick drums. Heavy-hitting sonics coalesce with hypnotic vocoded vocals, with the earwork of a refrain chanting “I can’t stop” for a club-ready roller. In this composition DANK and Frankie Bones expertly channel the dark yet infectious energy o...
San Francisco post-metal group Deafheaven announced their new album Infinite Granite — and with the announce arrived the “Great Mass of Color,” the first single from the set. It’s Deafheaven’s fifth studio album since 2011.

If you had “Poppy partnering with WWE to release a new EP” on your 2021 Bingo card, you were paying more attention than we were in the previous weeks.

It’s shaping up to be another meteoric month for Marshmello after the masked producer dropped his second high-profile collaborative track in less than a week. Following up on “Hitta” alongside Eptic and Juicy J, Mello has now joined forces with Nitti Gritti and Megan Thee Stallion for a club-ready collaboration called “Bad Bitches,” which will appear on his upcoming Shockwave LP. Seeing these three artists in the title, we didn’t necessarily expect house to be the genre of choice, but Marshmello is is known to keep his fans on their toes. Similar to his production efforts on the ferocious “Hitta,” his latest single harkens back to the superstar producer’s dance music roots, albeit in a much different capacity. The t...

Released June 7th via her Berlin-based imprint Gudu Records, “Nabi” is a collaboration with OHHYUK that comes after 2019’s Moment EP, which included the smash single “Starry Night.” Easygoing and sonically rich, “Nabi” is a blissful arrangement of interweaving percussive elements and bright, melodic chords.

According to Gou’s social media...
