You surely remember when Major Lazer and DJ Snake teamed up on the anthemic "Lean On" a few months ago, since the track and its innumerable remixes have found their way into more DJ sets than is remotely reasonable. Even though he's a little late to the party, Tiësto has now enlisted the help of one of his proteges, MOTi, to put his own distinctive spin on the song.
Tiësto's been such a busy guy. Between secretly working on a brand-new mix album and mentoring artists like Martin Garrix and MOTi, the superstar DJ squeezed a little time to work on a snappy electro track with L.A.-based DJ/producer Dallas K - the latter of whom debuted the track during his set at Ultra Music Festival a couple months ago. "Show Me" finally has a preview and official release date, and we're pleasantly surprised with the results.
It was only a couple weeks ago that TomorrowWorld uploaded an official "afterlapse" video to YouTube, and just like we predicted, the lineup announcements have followed in force. After kicking things off with none other than two-year-running DJ Mag #1 Hardwell, the Atlanta, Georgia festival's organizers have announced that leading names like Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Jamie Jones will grace the stages of the festival's third annual edition.
Ratatat is the kind of electronic/indie act that held a steady spot in the scene's collective playlist at the end of the last decade, but faded into obscurity as soon as EDM crossed over into the mainstream in the beginning of the next. Fans rejoiced when the duo debuted their first new track in four years during their set at Coachella last month, and it turns out that it was an indicator more to come as they have just revealed the release date for an upcoming album as well.
It looks like 50 Cent will be the next rapper to attempt to stay relevant by piggybacking on the success of an EDM artist. He and none other than David Guetta took to social media on the evening of the Billboard Music Awards to hint at an upcoming collaboration in the works.
From tropical house remixes to legal battles over copyright claims, Marvin Gaye's name has found its way into the mouths of a new generation of fans. L.A.-based DJ/producer SNBRN has put forth our personal favorite homage thus far: a deep house of his 1982 classic "Sexual Healing" that takes samples from the original in an entirely unexpected direction.
It's been a hot minute since we premiered one of EDX's No Xcuses podcasts, and the Swiss progressive house DJ/producer is excited to have us share his latest picks once again. Between a rigorous North American leg of his tour and his upcoming "Indian Summer" remix of Sam Feldt's cover of the Robin S classic "Show Me Love," he's still managed to dig up next-level tracks for his latest installment of the always exciting series.
It’s hard to put your finger on Zedd; he’s sort of an EDM artist, but he's also sort of a pop artist. In his 2012 debut album, Clarity he somehow managed to straddle the line tastefully. Songs like “Spectrum,” “Lost at Sea” and the title track itself will undoubtedly be remembered as works symbolic of EDM’s crossover into the mainstream, key components of an organic synthesis between the best of both musical worlds. Unfortunately, his most recent effort, True Colors, is 45 minutes of the young artist being pulled too hard in both directions at once.
The music industry changes people, but even though he's been in it since the '90s, deadmau5 has somehow stayed the same. The often controversial DJ/producer has made it apparent that he's been in the studio with a lot of other artists lately and his collaboration with Grabbitz demonstrates that it's been time well spent.
Swedish DJ/producer Alesso has no shortage of progressive house hits under his belt, but why not add another to the list? "Sweet Escape," from his upcoming debut album, features all the hallmarks of the young progressive house artist's euphoric style, promising to become a festival staple as the season goes full swing.
