Tritonal's "Getaway" isn't among the more unexpected stylistic departures to be featured on the duo's upcoming album, but that's not to speak for other artists' creative interpretations. The duo have released an official remix series for the track that features reimaginings by Gareth Emery, Koven, Axis, Matt Fax and Jengi Beats.
Zedd seems to have suffered a musical writer's block since the release of last year's True Colors. Rumors suggested that his February Aloe Blacc collaboration, "Candyman," was more more than partly conceptualized by Los Angeles duo Grey - so at least he's elected to credit them in their upcoming Hailee Steinfeld vehicle, "Starving."
Nobody's suggesting that Zeds Dead haven't been one of electronic music's more prolific acts, but the fact remains that they have yet to release a studio-length album. Fortunately, the duo have sought to remedy this with the announcement of Northern Lights as well as a fall tour of its namesake.
At long last, the specific release details of Crystal Castles' debut album have arrived. The duo's first studio album since Edith Frances replaced Alice Glass as vocalist will be titled AMNESTY and will come out through Casablanca Records on August 19th.
DVBBS have found themselves the subject of particularly unwanted controversy following the events of last weekend. The Canadian duo has been arrested at Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest on drug-related charges after two girls were found unconscious in their dressing room at Sziget festival Balaton Sound.
I wouldn't include NYC-based Ansel Elgort in the list of actors-turned-DJs who disingenuously sought to capitalize on the EDM craze, but his new song almost made me think otherwise. "Home Alone" marks his first release under his real name, but this is one of those rare cases in which I would have recommended that he share the track through an anthropomorphic junk food alter ego instead.
Is it a surprise to anyone that a four-track effort by Steve Aoki would feature exactly four other artists? The Dim Mak label head and glorified cake thrower has announced the release of his 4OKI EP, the first single of which suggests that it will make for just as shameless an appropriation of his "collaborators'" music as ever.
Four months after first revving up its promotional engines, Ultra Europe has released the final lineup for the 2016 edition. The Split, Croatia festival followed up Phase 1 and 2 lineup announcements with an engaging recap video of last year's festivities, and now it's finished up with the full entertainment roster.
Cloud-based music creation and collaboration platform Splice appears to have chosen Jauz as their unofficial poster child. The Los Angeles DJ/producer previously endorsed the platform in a video that showcased its functionality as a sample library, and has shared another video in which he discusses having used it to collaborate with Marshmello on their remix of Duke Dumont's "Need You (100%)".
