Lush & Simon have released a new track - but the real story is their collaborator. Gazzo is a prolific EDM DJ/producer who fell off the map to some degree, and today is the day that he makes his triumphant return.
Shaun Frank gained quite a bit of traction as a purveyor of future house in 2015, but news of his upcoming collaborations with two major artists suggest that 2016 might be his true breakout year. The Canadian DJ/producer has revealed that he has tracks in the works with both Steve Aoki and The Chainsmokers.
At the rate deadmau5 is going, Project Entropy will have enough music for an entire festival. The progressive house mastermind has uploaded track after track after track to his SoundCloud account, and while many of them appeared to be different versions of the same work in progress the last few follow an unexpected stylistic tangent.
There's no time like the beginning of festival season for an electronic music act to prove that they're more than a one-trick pony. Lost Kings had demonstrated that they were capable of formulating a unique and instantly recognizable sound, but their latest track, "Something Good," sees the duo branch out even further.
For many in the North American electronic music scene, Ultra Music Festival marks the beginning of festival season. A cross section of the DJ/producer elite use it as an opportunity to debut tracks that will become each year's soundtrack, and the surrounding Miami Music Week serves as a veritable beacon by which countless industry connections are made each year.
At this point, it feels like VINAI must be reinforcing negative stereotypes associated with EDM excess on purpose. After following up the poorly titled "Techno" with the underwhelming "Get Ready Now," they returned with the head scratcher "Sit Down" - and somehow they thought it would be good for their street cred to title their Olly James collaboration "Lit."
Electronic music fans across the world have awaited Flume's Skin LP with tremendous vigor. "Never Be Like You" ft. Kai was the first morsel for the Australian DJ/producer's fans to sample, and they received it so well that Future Classic has uploaded a video of both artists performing it at Laneway Festival in Melbourne.
NGHTMRE's been on something of a future bass kick lately, and a somewhat unexpected track has found itself in the crosshairs of his creative lens. A Tommy Trash release from late last year, "Luv U Giv" has proven a prime candidate to be remixed as a brimming future bass tune.
The Chainsmokers' "Roses" played no small part in helping the NYC-based duo redefine themselves in 2015 after "#SELFIE" put them on the map the year before. The iconic synth lead at its drop has dominated the airwaves in the months since, and now one half of the duo, Drew Taggart, has taken it upon himself to break down the sound design process for fans.
