Justice have remained notoriously tight lipped in regards to their upcoming album, but a new song from the effort appears to have emerged. Ed Banger Records label head Busy P just played a track during his DJ set at the Ed Banger House Party in Spain that's got blog house enthusiasts buzzing.
For an artist whose music certainly holds up by its own merit, Jamie xx didn't take a minimalist approach to the visual elements accompanying one of his recent releases. The English producer enlisted filmmaker Romain Gavras to write and direct the music video for "Gosh" from his 2015 album In Colour - and so far it's the best music video of 2016.
Spinnin' Records has come to favor a stylistic fusion between progressive house and bass house that few of its signees can execute tastefully, but Justin Mylo is certainly on that list. Song titles apparently aren't his forte, however, as he's opted to crowd source the name for the new ID he's previewed.
Every time I start to feel like I've been too hard on Kaskade, he puts out something that I can't help but rail on. The jungle terror genre needs to go ahead and die already, but with artists of his stature releasing abominations like "Jorts FTW" ft. Too Many Zooz it could stay relevant well past 2016.
Last month, Insomniac Events truly outdid themselves on the 20th anniversary of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas. I didn't try too hard to hide my own childlike wonderment behind my usual shroud of hipsterism after covering the massive, and now, a recent Forbes article breaks down the numbers of what went into the monumental production.
I find it hard to believe speculations that the Marshmello project consists not only Dotcom, but a group of big-name artists that take turns wearing the mask onstage. If producers like Skrillex or Dillon Francis collaborated on these releases, after all, they wouldn't sound like the anonymous DJ/producer's rework of Anne-Marie's "Alarm."
Groove Cruise was in the cruise ship festival business long before Holy Ship! or Mad Decent Boat Party, but there's still plenty of uncharted territory on its horizons. In the spring, Whet Travel announced that the novelty electronic music event series would embark on its first sailing to Mexican resort city Cabo San Lucas, and they've just followed it up with a lineup announcement.
Good things come in pairs, and Crystal Castles appear to recognize this. Earlier in the year the duo announced that they would make a comeback with Edith Frances replacing Alice Glass as vocalist, and now they've revealed the music video for the first single from their upcoming album in addition to the dates of a three-month world tour.
It's common enough for members of the media to run a story with such haste that they forget to fact check, and the Xerox effect that takes place when it gets reblogged can distort its accuracy even further. Apparently it's of paramount importance that we address the mental health of DJs - so much so that we're citing numbers from a Help Musicians UK survey out of context.
Few electronic music artists are as universally celebrated as deadmau5, so the imminent release of his latest album is enough to make most us wait with baited breath. Thanks to one of the progressive house mastermind's curious fans, we now know that its arrival will soon be upon us.
