The Wallflowers Release ‘Who’s That Man Walking ‘Round My Garden’ From Exit Wounds
With Exit Wounds (the band’s first album since 2012) due out on July 9 via New West Records, the Wallflowers just released the third song from the album ahead of their appearance on The Late, Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday (June 8). “Who’s That Man Walking ‘Round My Garden” sees Jakob Dylan’s momentum continue. The timeless Americana rock sound the band is known for fuses with a little extra guitar-driven funkiness on the latest track, complete with a singalong chorus and Dylan’s signature vocals. “The garden referenced in ‘Who’s that Man Walking ‘Round My Garden’ isn’t one you’d find in your backyard. The garden is whatever you hold dear and find worthy of protecting. Might be a woman, could be your future, may be your peace of mind. Keep out of mine and I’ll k...
Nostalgix Links With Deadbeats for Edgy New Bass House EP, “Black Mirror”
Following the April release of “Realest,” rising Vancouver-based house producer Nostalgix is already back for more with her new EP, Black Mirror. Released June 6th via Zeds Dead’s venerated Deadbeats banner, the record features two new tracks. Black Mirror pulls its underground edge from booming combinations of rave sirens, rapid percussion lines and pulsing basslines. Its titular track—with hip-hop artist Wasiu—builds on an eerie synth soundscape, while “Undercover” with the UK-based Bigredcap is a scintillating blend of bass house, grime and rap. In addition to the new EP, Nostalgix released a self-directed music video for “Black Mirror,” shot by Leesa Weighill. Inspired by The Matrix, it includes a combina...

Alesso Drops New Two-Track Mixtape Ahead of Next Leg of Club Shows
Alesso is set to reinvigorate the dancefloor with his latest two track offering, Progresso Vol. 2, which picks back up right where he left the series with its 2019 debut. With this series, Alesso is temporarily setting aside the anthemic, singalong-style vocals of “Midnight” with Liam Payne and, more recently, “Going Dumb” with CORSAK and Stray Kids, two of the superstar producer’s most notable released in the last year. Alesso brings a renewed energy to the dancefloor with the clean cut, pumping percussive rhythms of “Together,” an instrumental house track that is a direct appeal to the clubbing crowd. On the flip side, “Again” finds a slightly moodier tone and strikes a more techno-heavy instrumental balance, characterized...
David Guetta and MORTEN Tap John Martin for New Future Rave Banger, “Impossible”
Since early last year, David Guetta and MORTEN have been presenting their freshly minted “future rave” sound to the masses. They recently collided on “Save My Life” with Lovespeake, followed by “Dreams” with Lanie Gardner. Today they return once again for “Impossible” with John Martin. The unmistakable fusion of distinct and varied sounds acts as the centerpiece of “Impossible.” Martin’s signature tenor effortlessly guides listeners through a pounding bassline and whirling synths, putting all three artists’ signature sounds on display. Over the past year, Guetta and MORTEN have unveiled a handful of hit collaborations to propagate their patented “future rave” sound, including a massive EP. Fans can ex...
Listen to San Holo’s Long-Awaited Sophomore Album, “bb u ok?”
It’s been a bit of a windy road to San Holo‘s long-awaited sophomore album, but it’s finally here—and it delivers. Spanning 20 tracks, the expansive album is a tour de force of San Holo’s career and finds him exploring a markedly more indie style. The Chet Porter-assisted “you’ve changed, i’ve changed” is a standout example with its angsty chorus and punk-inspired drum programming, as is “one more day,” an aching indietronica cut with Mija and Mr. Carmack that ties a bow on the LP. Holo largely eschews the soaring future bass sound that propelled him to international acclaim, instead opting for resounding 808s that rumble under light, feathery electroacoustic elements. This approach is executed with finesse in the spacey R...

Marking his first release of 2021, Calvin Harris has unveiled his hotly anticipated summertime anthem “By Your Side.” The breezy “By Your Side” reminds listeners of simpler times, turning back the clock to the barnstorming electronic-pop sound that helped Harris break through in the 2010s.
