Spring Awakening Music Festival was a hotbed of unreleased material over the weekend, seeing Dillon Francis drop four unheard collabs into his set, including his remix of Calvin Harris and Rihann's "This Is What You Came For." Now, two more videos from the festival have surfaced to give fans the first taste of two yet to be released collaborations from Toronto based duo Zeds Dead, who dropped their upcoming Diplo and NGHTMRE tracks into their performance.
In a surprising turn of events, social media giant Twitter has invested $70 million into the struggling music company SoundCloud. Speaking about the recent move, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey explained the motivation behind the investment:

Canadian based electronic duo MSTRKRFT are returning to the limelight following the announcement that they would be releasing their first major collection of music in five years.

Swedish music sensations Avicii and Otto Knows made waves in the dance community a couple of weeks ago, dropping their collaborative single "Back Where I Belong" to much fanfare. Serving as the only song Avicii has ever been a featured artist on, the recent single seemed to sum up the producer's current state of affairs, following the announcement that he was retiring from touring.
Dutch Trance producer Ferry Corsten has returned to his roots this week, reviving his Gouryella side project to deliver an energizing dance number titled "Neba." Speaking about the new track, Corsten stated "the last weeks I noticed more and more people asking me via socials; Ferry will we get a new Gouryella this year? Well, the wait is over. This is the official follow up to Anahera; NEBA"

A deadmau5 live stream from May 27 is making the rounds on the internet, giving fans the chance to listen to yet another upcoming track from the Canadian producer. Last month saw the mau5 boss dropping a surprise single titled "Snowcone" on which he explored a Trip-hop influenced sound, and it appears to be a new trend in his music as the tentatively titled "Hyperlandia" traverses a similar sonic terrain.
In the early days of dubstep's conquest of American dance floors, Kill The Noise established himself as one of the most brutal producers in the game, crafting bass heavy bangers like "Kill The Noise Pt. 1" and his remix of Noisia's "Diplodicus." Although he's has largely sidestepped the face melting style of his earlier productions, the DJ has remained a major influence on emerging bass artists.
