Jauz has seen a truly meteoric career trajectory so far in 2016. The "Feel The Volume" producer kicked off The Friendzy Tour with a mind-boggling back-to-back set that featured more bass music titans than seemed necessary or reasonable, and he's punctuated several of his stops with debuts of new tracks.
When a track is this anticlimactic, I suppose you have to "leak" it a day early just to get people talking about it. For how eagerly the music world seems to have anticipated a Zedd and Ke$ha collaboration, what the two of them finally turned out could hardly even be classified as such.
Magic Sword is one of the more unique electronic music acts to find their name in music fans mouths in recent months. The anonymous duo have created an enigmatic presence for themselves by combining genre-bending compositions with comic book folklore, and their new EP, Legend, sees a return to true form.
This year's edition of Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas is about to be a special one. Even though it's only taken place at the Las Vegas Speedway since 2011, Insomniac Events' flagship festival will celebrate its its 20th anniversary - and if the official trailer is any indicator, they want everyone to know just what they have to offer.
Montreal's favorite EDM massive is slated to return to Parc Jean-Drapeau for its third year running. The organizers of Îlesoniq have dropped the official lineup for the festival today along with opening ticket sales to the general public, and this year's edition looks to be a spectacle for the senses.
Coachella's 2016 edition has come and gone, but many of the massive's live sets will live on forever. Following the second weekend of the Indio, California festivities, a Mixcloud user with the handle "EDM Ninja" has provided a number of audio recordings of several of the event's most memorable performances.
NYC-based DJ/producer Gryffin found himself on the radar of the electronic music community at the beginning of 2016, but the Heading Home tour seems to have thrown him off his course to a minor degree. The tour wraps up tonight, April 27th - but he's already gotten a head start on new releases with his remix of CHVRCHES' "Clearest Blue."
After widespread speculation that German DJ/producer Zedd was going to collaborate with pop singer Ke$ha, a photo has surfaced that all but confirms that the two artists are working together. While only the backs of their heads are visible in the image, at least one of them is relatively easy to identify.
Alesso made something of an unexpected departure from his trademark sound with last month's "I Wanna Know," so it only makes sense that the track's official music video would follow a similarly outside-the-box approach. In a role reversal of sorts, the Swedish DJ/producer plays the star of a story within a story, while the main character of the video itself plays his stunt double.
Love them or hate them, Jack Ü have become one of the most influential groups in electronic music. Their high-energy live sets have become such a quintessential part of the typical North American festival goer's experience that many of their staple tracks are burned into our collective memory - so when they revealed the source of one their most common openers, the EDM community paid attention.
