Skrillex Shares Preview of New Collab With Swae Lee and Siiickbrain: Watch
It’s officially Skrillex season and we all should just buckle in for safety. Just one day after releasing his first official original song since 2019, Skrillex took to Instagram to share a preview of a new joint track with Siiickbrain and Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee. The clip is short, but fans can get a taste of what sounds like a massive electronic-pop collab. In the caption he noted that he’ll release the “incoming” track once the post reaches 20,000 comments. It obviously eclipsed that goal in a matter of three hours thanks to comments from Baauer, Kaskade, SLANDER, Aazar, and virtually the entire EDM community, so fans can expect the tune to release in full soon. Check out the preview below courtesy of Skrillex’s Instagram. FOLLOW SKRILLEX: Fa...
Excision Announces New Ohio Bass Music Festival, Reunion
After his flagship Lost Lands festival sold out in the blink of an eye, Excision has now invited all headbangers to Ohio for a brand new festival called Reunion.

The one thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was getting back to live shows and celebrating with you all,” Excision’s statement r...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-11T19:32:01+00:00“>May 11, 2021 | 3:32pm ET Xenia Rubinos indulges in some nearly-nonsensical fun on the new song “Cógelo Suave”. Over a funky bass line, our former CoSigned artist scats and riffs her way through a tropical storm of syllables. While she often arrives at phrases such as “Well, I don’t know,” or “I’m doing fine,” these messages are besides the point. Rubinos revels in the way words sound, layering different recordings of her voice on top of one another and allowing the motion of her lips to take the ear for a ride. Via Stereogum, Rubinos said in a statement that, “It’s a gibberish spaceship ride, high speed chase, birds and stars whirring around your head...
