Gryffin's shaping up to be one of the biggest breakout electronic music artists of 2016, and for good reason. The NYC-based DJ/producer only released a compelling debut single in the form of "Heading Home" after embarking on a tour of its namesake, and now he's teamed up with Manila Killa on a remix of British singer/songwriter Jack Garratt's "Surprise Yourself."
Mysteryland USA is already the stateside version of what's known to be the longest-running electronic music festival in the world, but now its organizers are looking to capitalize on the nostalgia of a much more iconic event. After releasing the full lineup by day last month, they've uploaded a 2016 trailer to the Mysteryland YouTube channel that highlights the massive's ties to the Woodstock Music & Art Fair of 1969.
Big room house is practically a dirty word in 2016, but if more of it sounded like what WILL K turns out that probably wouldn't be the case. The Australian DJ/producer puts a unique and almost world music-inspired spin on the main stage formula as evidenced by his latest track, "Hakai."
After uploading music at a rapid-fire rate in the beginning of the year, deadmau5 took a curious break over the past month or so - but he's finally ended his unofficial hiatus. The progressive house mastermind has uploaded a track to SoundCloud titled "Sellout" that appears to be a rework or updated version of last year's "Nvidia."
Guess what: Will Sparks put out a remix, and it isn't Melbourne bounce. The Australian DJ/producer might not be the first artist you'd expect to release a future house version of AlunaGeorge's "I'm In Control," but what he's delivered demonstrates his stylistic versatility.
Spinnin' Records might be going through something of a disco phase, and I'm not complaining one bit. Last week saw Australian DJ/producer Throttle's debut on the label, and now Dutch progressive house duo Vicetone have released a track titled "Hawt Stuff" that's built around samples from Donna Summer's 1979 hit, "Hot Stuff."
It's been half a year since Above & Beyond revealed the first track from their all-acoustic album, Acoustic II, and as its release date nears they've finally starting revving up their promotional engine. Last week they shared three track previews from the follow up to 2014's Acoustic, and now they've uploaded one for "Blue Sky Action" as well.
I can't say that I've been hating what Blasterjaxx has been putting out quite as much lately. The Dutch progressive house duo are famous for release the vapid sort of big room house that became a staple of festival main stages in recent years, and while their remix of Tritonal's "This Is Love" doesn't reinvent the wheel, it at least exhibits a little depth of concept.
If the prospect of a collaboration between Eric Prydz and deadmau5 doesn't fill you with the glee of a child looking at presents under a Christmas tree, you probably just don't really understand electronic music. It's been the better part of a year since the two artists opened a dialogue about it on Twitter, and they've taken to social media once more to all but reveal that they're finally following through.
I suppose that anthropomorphic junk food items that play together stay together. "Anonymous" DJ/producer Slushii recently desecrated everything good and holy with his remix of Skrillex and Wiwek's "Killa," but apparently he wasn't satisfied until he unleashed it on the thousands-deep crowd in front of the Cosmic Meadow Stage at this year's edition of EDC New York.
