American-born DJ/producer Lane 8 has released a track that's got "sunrise set" written all over it. Currently based in Germany, he puts out the transcendental sort of deep house that keeps dance floors ablaze until the wee hours, and what he's delivered in the form of "Fingerprint" is certainly no exception.
Paris Blohm isn't an artist that's intent on redefining the wheel - that much is for certain. For what Harwdell's Revealed Recordings label usually turns out, though, his latest track, "Something About You," is an uplifting piece of progressive house with enough musical merit not to find itself in the reject pile.
Alright, we get it HARD Summer, you're the funny, edgy promoter on the block. The SoCal-based promotional company HARD appears to be revving up its engines to start releasing lineup details for the 2016 edition of its flagship festival, and the organizers have picked a strange new theme for their online presence.
The 2016 festival season is one to expect the unexpected, as most recently evidenced by Dusky's new single. The London-based electronic music duo does not typically stray far from the driving sort of tech house that has only undergone only minor changes in sound design over the last 20 or so years, but they've stepped outside their comfort zone with "Ingrid Is A Hybrid."
After only a touch of promotion, MTV's documentary on Martin Garrix is finally here. MTV Presents Martin Garrix: The Ride aired this past weekend on basic cable and now, it's available to stream for those who may have missed it.
We've only made it through one weekend of Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival, but the EDM blogosphere's already got live sets galore. It took weeks for a treasure trove of this size to emerge from last month's Ultra Music Festival, and now, only a few days after the fest closed out weekend 1, we've already found ten full recordings of performances from the SoCal massive.
If you ask yourself which EDM artists are most likely to survive the EDM apocalypse that's on our scene's forecast this year - and you're honest with yourself - chances are ZHU will come to mind. His heavily instrumental, genres-be-damned fusion between hip-hop and house music somehow boldly defies the status quo while retaining uncanny mass appeal. Case in point: His Coachella Weekend 1 2016 performance.
The first weekend of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2016 is in the books, and while a couple of special guest appearances in particular tore through the blogosphere, there were still plenty of other headline-worthy moments. Calvin Harris bringing Rihanna onstage to perform "We Found Love" would be one - that is, if it happened five years ago.
It's not like The Chainsmokers haven't been putting out fast-paced music lately. In recent years, though, they've accomplished more with softer productions like "Don't Let Me Down" and "Inside Out," but the track they just debuted at #Fest in Athens, OH could almost double as background music for a guided meditation cassette tape.
It seems like sacrilege to take a track with as rich and organic of sounds as DJ Cassidy's "Kill The Lights" and sterilize it with synths and effects. Then you remember that a straight-up disco record wouldn't work on as many modern dance floors as a future house track would, and suddenly Audien's remix doesn't seem so bad.
