SLANDER Pull the Plug on Inaugural Starbase Music Festival Due to COVID-19 Surge
The outer space-themed Starbase music festival has officially crashed to Earth. Starbase’s proprietors—electronic duo SLANDER—had revealed the Charleston festival back in June before unveiling a stellar lineup a month later featuring Alison Wonderland, NGHTMRE, and San Holo, among other dance music superstars. Now, Derek Andersen and Scott Land of SLANDER have taken to social media to share a statement announcing the cancellation of this year’s inaugural Starbase due to the impact of COVID-19. “Due to COVID-19 currently reaching peak levels in South Carolina, with new cases and hospitalizations at the highest level ever recorded, we have decided that now is not the time to have a music festival in the area,” the statement reads. “We have made this de...

SLANDER Team Up With Ganja White Night for Moody Melodic Bass Hybrid “Miss You”
SLANDER have teamed up with another one of bass music’s biggest duos for a new track that will have you crying and moshing at the same time. Released over the long weekend is “Miss You” by SLANDER and Ganja White Night. Fans have been waiting for this one to drop since it was formally announced almost two weeks ago. While those in attendance at Bass Canyon last month got to hear the song for themselves live, and in person, those without a ticket were left wondering what the four producers would whip up. The track is broken into two distinct sections that vary greatly from one another. The first half is a perfect fit for those who like to get caught up in intense emotion and introspection brought on by many popular melodic bass offerings. Melancholy vocals and gentle piano...
SLANDER and Dylan Matthew Tap Kaskade, Armin van Buuren, More for “Love Is Gone” Remixes
A track so nice, they had to remix it twice. Back in October 2019 SLANDER and Dylan Matthew released a monster remix package for their single “Love Is Gone,” tapping six producers to rework the future bass anthem. Kompany, Crystal Skies and more put their signature touches on the track, taking it to new heights as it rumbled through the festival scene at the time. SLANDER and Matthew have now announced another “Love Is Gone” bundle, which is primed to be even more transformative thanks to a high-profile entourage of remixers. Remixes from R3hab, Kaskade, Alok, and Armin van Buuren will drop over the course of the next month. Kaskade’s edit, in particular, represents a quasi-full circle moment for SLANDER. The duo took to Twitter to gush abo...
SLANDER, Subtronics, and JT Roach Collide on Anthemic Bass Single “Gravity”
After months of teasing their highly-anticipated collaboration, SLANDER, Subtronics, and JT Roach have released their tune “Gravity” in a joint release by Gud Vibrations and Cyclops Recordings.

Listen to ILLENIUM’s Heartfelt Fourth Album, “Fallen Embers”
Marking the beginning of a new chapter, ILLENIUM‘s Fallen Embers album has finally arrived. When his nonstop touring schedule came to a halt last year, ILLENIUM took to the studio with the goal of creating something truly remarkable. And after tying a bow on a triptych of albums in 2019—offering up only a handful of singles in 2020—Illenials were left wondering what was next. Later that year, the news broke that a new album was in the works. In conjunction with the announcement, ILLENIUM released “Nightlight,” a collaboration with Annika Wells that offered a peek into his forthcoming album. Soon after, he dropped the punk-inspired “Paper Thin” with Tom DeLonge and his band Angels & Airwaves. “Hearts on F...

SLANDER will be taking the stage on Tuesday, July 27th with a brand new show called “The Eye Strikes Back.” While the specifics of the show’s setup aren’t clear, from the looks of it, a sinister stage production is at hand.

Watch Subtronics Drop Massive Unreleased SLANDER Collab at Red Rocks
Last night Subtronics headlined the first full-capacity show at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre since the onset of the pandemic—and he did not pull any punches. The dubstep superstar, who said headlining the venue was his “number one life goal since the age of 5,” threw down a set for the ages as he rattled the monoliths flanking the legendary open air venue. Subtronics cycled through a relentless barrage of his own original music as well as mind-bending tracks released by his bass music contemporaries on his Cyclops Recordings imprint. The performance was highlights galore, but it was the drop of one unreleased song that sent ripples through the electronic music community after the momentous “Cyclops Rocks” show. Titled “Gravity...
Taiwan reports largest incursion yet by Chinese air force
Twenty-eight Chinese air force aircraft, including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers, entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, the island’s government said, the largest reported incursion to date. While there was no immediate comment from Beijing, the news comes after the Group of Seven leaders issued a joint statement on Sunday scolding China for a series of issues and underscored the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, comments China condemned as “slander”. Chinese-claimed Taiwan has complained over the last few months of repeated missions by China’s air force near the self-ruled island, concentrated in the southwestern part of its air defence zone near the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands. The latest Chinese mission involved 14 J-16 ...
