Electronic music artists like Skrillex, Eric Prydz and deadmau5 have each recently locked in their own Beats 1 radio stations. And while you might not think of Norwegian tropical house poster child Kygo as the type to go against the grain, he's now announced that his own upcoming radio show will be broadcast instead by Sirius XM.
Ummet Ozcan has found himself party to some questionable collaborations of late. Steve Aoki and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are infamous for their scarce contributions to any track released with their collective or respective names on them - so how come this track, on which all four producers were supposed to have collaborated, sounds absolutely nothing like Ozcan?
Global superstar DJ Calvin Harris is suspected to have a whole host of new music on the way - even if his performance during week 1 of Coachella fell short of bringing anything new to the table. However, fans have recently drawn a connection between him and his tabloid girlfriend, Taylor Swift, that suggests the two are about to release a collaboration.
Flume fans have been waiting months for the Australian DJ/producer to release the Skin LP, and he seems to have been making the anticipation work in his favor.

The EDM blogosphere is still buzzing after several of the epoch-making performances that took place during week 1 of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. You might recall our own glowing review of ZHU's genre-bending set at the Sahara Tent - but we didn't quite catch what many are speculating was the release date for his upcoming album.
If you made a Venn diagram using Tiësto and Ummet Ozcan's stylistic spheres, there would only be a tiny sliver where they overlap. Ozcan's production style on its own seems a little too eccentric for the two-time DJ Mag #1 superstar, so their recent collaboration, "What You're Waiting For," seems a bit awkwardly arranged.
As music fans outgrow the EDM festival formula in favor of more curated experiences, Shambhala might just be the strongest alternative. The British Colombia gathering has garnered a reputation for unparalleled vibes in recent years, and its 2016 lineup proves that it's got next-level talent to boot.
There's no question that Insomniac Events is pulling out all the stops to make the 20th anniversary of their flagship Electric Daisy Carnival massive a spectacle not to be missed. To ignite further anticipation among music fans, the festival's organizers have uploaded a video titled "The Road To EDC20" that features clips from eight years of the festival's official trailers.
