English DJ/producer Hot Since 82 typically puts out music that that exhibits a symbiosis between house and techno - very rarely does he favor one over the other. His latest track, "Yourself," is about as dark as he gets, and even this record retains undeniable danceability.
Skrillex is no stranger to the world of hip-hop, but his latest collaboration may well be his most hard-hitting to date. The bass music icon has most notably joined forces with A$AP Mob constituents of late, but lyrical contributions by Rick Ross give "Purple Lamborghini" markedly more grit.
The height of the festival season is upon us, as today marks the beginning of Tomorrowland 2016. The Boom, Belgium festival has been a beacon of electronic music culture since its 2005 inception - but even if you have to miss this year's edition, you can catch some of its biggest performances by livestreaming them through Tomorrowland TV.
The Ultra brand has spread to all the major regions of the world, and it isn't going to stop covering ground anytime soon. The inaugural edition of Ultra Brasil was announced before the turn of the year, and the festival's organizers have finally rolled out its Phase 1 lineup announcement.
Colorado bass owes much of its explosion to the popularity of underground hip-hop in the area about a decade ago, but this might be Big Gigantic's biggest foray into it yet. The livetronica outfit have certainly collaborated with emcees in various capacities in the past, but "Miss Primetime" ft. Pell is undeniably a rap song.
I get that it's hard to stay relevant in the oversaturated world of electronic music, but Sultan + Shepard are just resorting to desperate measures at this point. It's not like the Canadian EDM duo has recently put out the most challenging music in the first place, but "Love Me Crazy" ft. Gia doesn't even make sense as one of their releases.
It's good to see Will Sparks return to what he's known for. The Melbourne bounce DJ/producer went a bit too experimental with the Alex Jones-featured "My Time" earlier in the month, but he's managed to work Luciana's verses into "Stay Up Till The Mornin'" much more effectively.
Well, Carnage has really out-Carnaged himself this time. The notoriously outspoken DJ/producer apparently intended to cash in on the pure trance movement by putting out a Timmy Trumpet collaboration titled "PSY Or DIE" - but while the song features trance elements, it's definitely a far cry from actual psytrance.
If you were fortunate enough to find yourself on the Croatian island of Split for Ultra Europe last weekend - well then, good for you. The rest of us can still enjoy much of the weekend's music, at least, now that several of its live sets have reached the masses.
For what will likely be the electronic music performance of the year, deadmau5 and Eric Prydz are slated to perform a live set together at Tomorrowland Belgium tomorrow. Fans of either artist have been anticipating the spectacle for months, and both producers have now taken to social media to stoke our interest one final time.
