Nobody's really been clamoring about Zedd's Coachella 2016 set the way they have about those of Flume or ZHU, but he's put together something that could have fooled us. The German DJ/producer has revealed a recap video for Coachella that highlights moments from his performance as well as those of the festival as a whole.
A return to dance music's roots seems to be taking hold in Melbourne as of late. Alongside artists like Throttle bringing the spotlight back on disco in 2016, Melbourne-based DJ/producer Generik has captured the essence of classic house in his latest release, "Late At Night."
It's about time the worlds of these two superstar DJs crashed into each other. Skrillex and DJ Snake have each left considerable marks on contemporary electronic music independently of one another, so it's no surprise that news of a collaboration between both artists would make the EDM community stand at attention.
By the looks of things, Krewella's ready to kick it into high gear for festival season. The EDM/pop singer/songwriter duo just announced their 16-date Sweatbox Tour, and have released the first track from their recently announced Ammunition EP titled "Broken Record."
Online music marketplace Beatport has announced that it will discontinue a handful of its services, and will suspend the auction process intended to partner it with a new parent company indefinitely. After being famously mismanaged by EDM conglomerate SFX Entertainment, the company was already supposed to have been sold off as part of SFX's chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring.
It's about time an up-and-coming DJ/producer properly reps breaks. The once-widespread breakbeat genre has been repurposed by the likes of Jauz, Ephwurd and Skrillex in the bass house genre that's exploded from the L.A. scene from 2015-2016, but JVST SAY YES is among the first to give credit to his stylistic origins.
Can I call it, or can I call it? When Oliver Heldens debuted this track in Montreal two months ago I drew the connection to his "I've Been Waiting" collaborator, Throttle, and the track has turned out to be his debut release on Dutch label Spinnin' Records.
It's no surprise that a collaboration between Martin Garrix and Avicii would make some serious waves in the EDM world. After its debut at the 2016 edition of Ultra Music Festival, "Hold On Never Leave" has made its rounds online - and while it has yet to officially come out, it's already received an impressive fan video.
The first of a few announcements guaranteed to stir the Japanese electronic music community has arrived. Ultra Japan succeeded in drawing the highest attendance of any EDM festival in the country with its inaugural 2014 edition, and while its organizers certainly upped the ante last year the phase 1 lineup announcement for the 2016 installment looks even more promising.
With all the recent speculation about the EDM bubble bursting, it's reassuring to see that electronic music still thrives in other parts of the world. Djakarta Warehouse Project showed us that they meant business back when the Indonesian festival's organizers dropped its 2015 lineup, and now the official aftermovie confirms it to have been a massive for the ages.
