If you enjoyed the new direction DVBBS took with "Never Leave," then their new track ought to be right up your alley as well. The duo have released "Angel," a song that offers up a decidedly more melodic sound than what the duo put out on efforts like "We Were Young" or "Raveheart."
Kap Slap has made quite the name for himself when it comes to mashups, so it only makes sense that he would be the one to take the medium to such crazy heights. The New York City-based DJ/producer has offered up the ultimate irony: a remix of Steve James' "Renaissance" that incorporates the vocal top lines of Selena Gomez' "Same Old Love" with Justin Bieber's "Sorry" and Adele's "Hello."
If it feels a little early in the year for SnowGlobe to start making announcements for its 2016 edition, that's because it definitely is. The New Years Eve massive has followed in the footsteps of Ultra Music Festival by announcing ticket pre-sale less than a month after its latest edition, and like any well-informed promoter, the event's organizers have used visual aids to assist in the process.
Leave it to Dillon Francis to put even more bass in his remix of a song that already has "bass" in its title. The moombahton mainstay and EDM class clown has revealed that he's working on a remix of Oliver Heldens and Tiësto's "Wombass" that brings the modulated bass line hum of the original to even lower frequencies.
With one minor exception, Chapter 2 of Steve Angello's Wild Youth manages to build on what he accomplished with Chapter 1 by incorporating elements of nostalgia that, while not coming across as forced, tell a story in a manner uncommon to electronic music.
Bass house is all the rage nowadays in the major U.S. dance music markets, so it's exciting to see an outfit from across the pond offer up a fresh take on the genre. Hailing from the UK and Switzerland, former fidget house duo Defunct! (comprised of Jack Stuart and Slade Templeton, respectively) has offered up a decidedly European take on the style in the form of the On The Floor EP.
Fedde Le Grand and Merk & Kremont might sound like an unlikely combination of artists to combine forces, but that's never been enough to stop anyone in the EDM community before. The three DJ/producers have teamed up on "Give Me Some," a soulful iteration of the progressive house format in which both camps' influences are prevalent.
Bass house pioneer Jauz would have to go out of his way not to have a spectacular 2016. The previous year set into motion such a profoundly successful career for the artist that he's become one of the most sought-after names in EDM, and even though he's waited a few weeks to put anything out since the turn of the year, his and Aryay's remix of Skrillex's "Stranger" certainly looks promising.
If you've found yourself growing tired of what passes for a festival lineup in recent years, Lightning in a Bottle makes for a welcome departure from the electronic live music event status quo. Between a carefully curated audiovisual experience and an unparalleled community aspect, the event is ideal for anyone looking to venture off the beaten path - and it just released the kind of lineup that proves it.
Canadian progressive house duo Dzeko & Torres may have kicked off their 2016 releases a bit later in the game than some of the other artists in the EDM world, but come February they're going to hit the ground running. They just teased the preview for "Home," their first original track of the new year, and it's hard to imagine it not catching on when festival season comes around.
