We were wondering when the Disclosure we know and love would return to their senses. The UK brothers turned a lot of noses with the release of "Bang That" earlier in the month, but we're happy to see that it was only a brief lapse in creative sensibility as their latest track hits the nail on the head.
When Eric Prydz releases new tracks, the world of dance music stops and listens. The Swede cast a wide net around an even younger generation of fans with the scope of last year's EPIC 3.0 performance at Madison Square Gardens, and over this recent Memorial Day Weekend he took it upon himself to keep the momentum going by debuting a veritable wealth of new songs.
The ÎleSoniq festival made a big splash in the Montreal scene with its debut outing last year, and for good reason; we were around to see it go down and it certainly exceeded our expectations. This summer, the second instalment is promising to build on the momentum of the first and the final additions to its lineup will make it a massive that's not to be missed.
It's been a couple months since Justin Bieber showed up onstage during Jack Ü's set at Ultra Music Festival to premiere their collaboration, "Where Are Ü Now," and a series of snaps and tweets indicates that the official music video for the track is under way. While the tie-in between the three artists seemed more like a strategic business move than an organic creative endeavor, it'll likely still be remembered as one of the crossovers that cemented EDM as a force to be reckoned with in the world of music so it stands to reason that it deserves its own video.
It's an understatement to say that we haven't been thrilled with Kaskade lately. The progressive house superstar seems to make future house to stay relevant - and it would be one thing if it was any good, but spoiler alert, it's not.
Alesso's done a lot to hone the sound that's uniquely his. Drawing from his rock inspirations, he's breathed new life into big room house. While we would have liked to see more of that on this album, most of the tracks are still well executed for what they are and make for a memorable debut effort.
If you weren't one of the thousands in attendance at Electric Daisy Carnival New York, you probably missed all the new music that Martin Garrix debuted at the festival. Fear not, though, as you can now listen to it in its entirety as his set has been uploaded online.
With how rapidly David Guetta was becoming the butt of every joke in the world of EDM, he had to do something to re-establish his credibility. The French DJ/producer just delivered an "Influences" mix for BBC Radio 1 chock full of the '80s house and techno that inspired him to become a DJ in the first place.
If you follow EDM to some degree, chances are you've heard that Alesso's album, Forever, is set to drop any day now. Well, sorry to get your hopes up, but the songs on this list aren't from that album! We apologize for tricking you... Kind of.
