Jack Novak has released "Driving Blind," an uplifting progressive house track (featuring vocals by Bright Lights) that will surely make its rounds on the festival circuit in the months to follow. In addition, she's also released a "Making Of" video in which she walks the viewer through the process by which she produced the track.
By now everyone's heard that trap pioneer Diplo is collaborating with Gucci Mane and Robert Plant on his upcoming album, but now it looks like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are on that list as well. The "Biggie Bounce" producer took to Twitter to announce that the former couple would be "executive producing" his upcoming effort in no vague terms.
It seems like the deep house movement's got everyone scrambling to establish their street cred - but we're not complaining, because "Ori Tali Ma" by Sander Van Doorn accomplishes exactly that. A bold departure from the Dutch DJ/producer's staple hard-kicks-and-hoover-synths style, the track leads with inventive percussive elements and primal vocal samples that remind you of when progressive house was still progressive.
After premiering the powerful "Carnation" in March, Armin Van Buuren and Benno De Goeij side project Gaia have released their newest track, "In Principio." Unlike Van Buuren's regular releases, the track speaks to a bygone era of trance enthusiasts by featuring hallmarks of a more true-to-roots sound.
The hardest part of festival season is coping with post-rave depression. If you're an active participant in the experience generation, chances are strong that these monumental events stand out as the high points of your year, and returning to day-to-day life is an emotionally draining endeavor. That's where recap videos come in handy.
Few names in EDM carry the kind of weight that Daft Punk does. The French duo - which consists of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter - made a lasting mark on the world of dance music with 1997's Homework, but instead of fading into obscurity like so many of the genre's other elder statesmen, their influence has endured through their last full-length effort, Get Lucky. For this reason, it's no wonder that the EDM community is rejoicing over murmurs that they've got a new album in the works.
After months of building suspense, Further Future organizers have announced that the debut edition of the festival will take place at the Moapa River Indian Reservation outside Las Vegas, Nevada. The three-day event - which is the brainchild of Burning Man camp curators Robot Heart - has already garnered media attention for its (somewhat) invite-only attendance policy and lineup of underground artists.
Galantis are no strangers to combining elements you might not expect to mix well while still yielding a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts. Their newest release, "Peanut Butter Jelly," blends soulful vocals, chopped up funk/disco instrumentals and in a bold departure from the Swedish duo's usual, sparkly style, parts of the track are even punctuated with air horns.
Kaskade's new music video for "Never Sleep Alone" might be the most entertaining portrayal of somebody sleeping that we've ever seen. The house superstar originally premiered the track at this year's Holy Ship! sailing, but only officially released the song two weeks ago in conjunction with the announcement of his upcoming album.
Canadian progressive house duo Dzeko & Torres have premiered their latest track, "Air," on the 213th episode of Hardwell On Air. The premiere of the song arrives ahead of its May 11th release on Tiësto-founded record label, Musical Freedom, to which Hardwell himself is also signed.
