Marshmello and Carnage Turn Back the Clock With Rave-Ready Single “Back In Time”
In an unlikely collision of dance music talent, Marshmello and Carnage have joined forces for a new single called “Back In Time.” “Back In Time” is an interesting departure for both artists, who have been known in recent years to keep fans on their toes in terms of genre. Influenced by late-80s Eurodance music, the song attempts to harken back to the rave scene of the era by interpolating old-school synths with a pulsing bassline. The track—which EDM Twitter will undoubtedly have a field day with—has a saccharine hyperpop feel that slides naturally into the electronic corner of Mello’s catalog, making it somewhat of an outlier due to his affinity for hip-hop as of late. No word yet whether or not “Back In Time” wi...

NGHTMRE and Alexandar Smash Drop Future Bass Anthem “Speak Easy”
For his latest future bass anthem, NGHTMRE has joined forces with rising duo Alexandar Smash on a new single called “Speak Easy,” which features a stunning vocal performance from Ghostlo. “Speak Easy” opens with a gentle touch as Ghostlo’s gossamer vocals float atop soft, distorted synths. The chords begin to progress into an eerie soundscape that eventually crescendos into a soaring drop that should do well to bellow through the festival circuit as it returns in 2021.
