Deorro appears to have spent some time finding himself, and what he's returned from his interim with something out of the ordinary. The Ultra Music-signed electro house producer has released a new track titled "Bailar" that incorporates elements of the Latin American merengue genre into its arrangement.
Love him or hate him, you can't deny that Tiësto is one of electronic music's most influential tastemakers. After leaving trance behind to rebrand himself as a purveyor of big room house several years ago, the Dutch superstar DJ/producer has recognized the trend in favor of more sophisticated styles, and has kicked off his AFTR:HRS deep house label with BLR's "Nungwi."
SoCal electronic music festival HARD Summer has finally revealed what all of last week's hype was about.

Few things are sure to lighten up your weekday drudgery quite like a serene, vibey house track. Hotel Garuda tried their hand at remixing Blonde and Craig David's "Nothing Like This," resulting in a club-friendly version of the song that retains just enough of the original's swagger to hold the interest of a wide audience.

After word broke of musical prodigy Prince's untimely death last week, the electronic music community saw a relatively small influx of Prince remixes when measured against the backlash from those who would call the producers releasing them opportunists.

With both weekends of Coachella 2016 now in the rearview mirror, there are now twice as many contenders for best set of the festival. For our money, ZHU's week 1 performance still easily ranks among the top five due in no small part to inventive edits and reworks like his remix of Faithless' 1995 trance classic "Insomnia."
