MaRLo’s “tech energy” style of trance is the sort of signature sound that every up-and-coming producer hopes to pinpoint. It's paid off in dividends, too, as the Netherlands-born, Australia-based superstar's meteoric rise in the world of pure trance has catapulted him through a plethora of career milestones in the past 12 months alone.
If you've been loving ZHU's debut album as much as we have, then you owe it to yourself to hear it on vinyl. The cryptic DJ/producer has released limited-edition opaque blue vinyl records of GENERATIONWHY, and we're giving three away to lucky contestants.
When I first heard saw that JayKode and Lookas put out a "Leave The World Behind" remix, I assumed it was a disingenuous attempt to capitalize on Swedish House Mafia reunion fervor. It turns out that the two artists have been working on it since 2014, however - and more importantly, it bangs.

Leave it to Martin Garrix to build anticipation for a release by waiting five months to officially release it.

In every pop culture era, there are always a handful of artists who just plain make sense for what’s going on in music. ZHU may have gotten his actual start a couple years ago, but his unique, melancholy style of electronic music made the post-EDM landscape of 2016 the ideal time to release his debut album, GENERATIONWHY
Drum and bass producers are certainly no strangers to quirk, but I can't think of a track quite like this one. Leeds-based Fox Stevenson has been capturing the brighter end of the drum and bass spectrum for several years, but "Saloon" marks his first song that pays homage to the Wild West.
In case there was any shadow of a doubt that Dreamstate SoCal was a success, Insomniac Events has released a 2016 lineup that proves otherwise. Last year marked the inaugural edition of the all-trance festival, and this year's roster consists of more than three times as many acts.
