San Fransisco's most celebrated ghettotech label has just announced more details of the second annual edition of their flagship event. The Claude VonStroke-headed Dirtybird Records has released the phase 1 lineup for the 2016 installment of the Dirtybird Campout, which will make for a decidedly underground alternative to mainstream festivals.
A-Trak's been on something of a future house kick lately, and Los Angeles duo Phantoms appear to have been onboard. The three of them have released a remix of Bingo Players' 2011 song "Cry (Just A Little)" that fits it for music enthusiasts of 2016.
As little as I enjoy most of Marshmello's music, I can admit that he occasionally puts out something worth the hype. He clearly demonstrated what not to do with his remix of Anne Marie's "Alarm" two weeks ago, but the one he's released for Albanian Kosovar singer Era Istrefi's "Bonbon" is sweeter than s'mores.
The songs of English "virtual band" Gorillaz worked their way into mainstream music fans' collective queue a handful of times over the course of the aughts, and they've even managed to retain a remarkable degree of relevance in the wake of the EDM explosion. Now that the dust has settled they're planning to release another album, and by the looks of things it's right around the corner.
Never one to rest on his laurels, Eric Prydz has followed up the success of his years-in-the-making concept album and coinciding stage show with a couple of heavy-hitting premieres. Most recently, the progressive house innovator has used his performance at Opium Barcelona as a platform to debut what fans are calling "Opium ID1."
It's certainly a tropical house time of year, which means that Felix Jaehn's new single stands a solid chance of becoming a festival anthem. That's not to diminish Finnish singer/songwriter ALMA's contributions to the track, however, as she's delivered the sort of top line sure to fuse it into your memory.
Julian Jordan fans still have yet to find out what his "Play On" concept is all about, but he's dropped a massive new track in the meantime. The young Dutchman typically typically brings higher standard to the progressive house genre and "A Thousand Miles" featuring Ruby Prophet does not disappoint.
In the wake of his new memoir, Porcelain, '90s electronic music icon Moby has found his most famous songs remixed by some of contemporary EDM's biggest names. Above & Beyond is the latest act on that list, as they've previewed their remix for the artist's 1999 single, "Porcelain."
Exploring a new style can be a huge risk for a musician, but in cases like this it pays off. Elephante ventured into future house territory with his latest track, "Catching On" featuring Nevve, and it's definitely the kind of track that could put an up-and-comer like him on the map.
Electronic music isn't the only field with a well-publicized gender gap, and NERVO have taken it upon themselves to tackle another one. The Australian DJ/producer/songstresses have released an official music video for "People Grinnin'" featuring The Child of Lov that casts the spotlight on engineers.
