Seriously, what's going on at Spinnin' Records lately? It was only a matter of hours ago that Julian Jordan announced his split from the Dutch record label, and Danish DJ/producer and Megaton label head Mike Hawkins has revealed that he will also end his partnership with them to pursue an alternative distribution strategy.
One of Spinnin' Records' most promising recent talents, Julian Jordan, has announced that he will discontinue his business relationship with the Dutch record label. In a turn of events that hints vaguely at progressive house icon Martin Garrix's split with the same imprint, the Amsterdam-based talent has opted to follow a course that would afford him more creative liberties.
Jauz rocketed through the stratosphere to become one of 2015's biggest breakout EDM acts, and it's never been as apparent as it is now. The bass house innovator kicked off The Friendzy tour with three SoCal dates, and on his second night performing at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood he elected to show his fans exactly the caliber of artists with whom he rubs shoulders.
A bankruptcy court has granted SFX Entertainment initial access to $80 million of a loan totalling $115 million. The EDM conglomerate (which owns companies like Disco Donnie Presents, Life in Color and Miami Marketing Group) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, and the loan marks the first steps towards a companywide restructuring as laid out in its proposed restructuring agreement.
Seldom does chance have it that an electronic music producer is as simultaneously celebrated by both seasoned and novice fans of the genre as Erik Prydz is. The Swedish progressive house icon boasts a nearly two-decade career during which his creative process has evolved into one of the most highly regarded sounds on the market, - and with the release of his long-awaited debut album, Opus, it's no exaggeration to suggest that this time in music belongs to him.
If you want your track to be successful, putting Martin Garrix's name on it certainly doesn't hurt - so when you combine that kind of star power with Dyro's ahead-of-the-curve production expertise you're bound to turn out something of value. Garrix shared a short video clip via Snapchat confirming such a meeting of the minds, capturing the attention of both camps' fan bases in the process.
When a producer releases a different version of one of their previous tracks, they tend to call it a rework, re-edit or variation in production - but not Pierce Fulton. The Vermont-based progressive house up-and-comer has opted to present his update of "No More" as a remix, and since it sounds as good as it does we're not about to tell him how to live his life.
If you've been loving the diversity of all the latest future bass artists as much as we have, then Elephante's new track is exactly what you've been looking for. The Los Angeles-based DJ/producer remained relatively quiet on the release front since last year's "Age of Innocence," but his new track exhibits markedly more experimental musings.
Dillon Francis must not have gotten his entire GTA fix by editing Skrillex's remix of the duo's early 2015 track "Red Lips," because he appears to have spent some time with them in the studio as well. On his Snapchat story, the EDM class clown has previewed a sample of what they're working on that - in true Dillon Francis fashion - is weirdly entertaining in its own right.
After premiering it on Sirius BPM the other day, The Chainsmokers have released their brand new track, titled "Don't Let Me Down. Featuring the haunting vocals of 17-year-old singer Daya, the trap-inspired song is primed for radio play, as it's got a progressive spin on it that lends itself to the a more mainstream audience while still retaining some definite trap elements.
