2015's been a big year for Jenaux so far. Despite being but a a blip on most music fans' collective radar, the NYC-based DJ/producer has already succeeded in crafting his own personalized style of future bass, and his latest remix serves as further proof that he's got the formula down.
Clear your schedule for the next couple of hours - Eric Prydz just released 12 tracks. The third of a series of monthly EPs leading up to the release of Prydz' debut album next month, Pryda Vol. III boasts the longest track list of the series. As with the first two, the EP is made up of previously unreleased songs that he's sprinkled into his transcendental live sets over the last decade - and the mystique he's built around them has put them among the most highly anticipated releases of the year.
Bass music icon Diplo has become a staple of the Burning Man gathering in recent years, and his DJ set from the playa this year provides insight into why that could be. Recorded during his performance at the Iguana Art Car, this SoundCloud upload sees the Mad Decent label head cover the full range of electronic music - everything from house to hip-hop.

Australian electro house duo Knife Party are behind schedule on their upcoming EP - which, at this point, doesn't come as much of a surprise.

Gary Richards A.K.A. Destructo has been a staple of the SoCal scene for over 20 years, but between running promotional company HARD and waging a legal battle with Insomniac Events Co-Founder Pasquale Rotella he hasn't put out that much new music as of late. For that reason alone, even though there isn't much of anything special about his new track, "Techno," everybody's talking about it.
You likely haven't heard the name Prince Fox yet, but if the EP he's got in the works is as good as it looks like it's gonna be then his name will become a household term in no time. The NYC-based future house/future bass producer has announced the release of his debut EP, Musings, and commemorated it with a variation in production of his big single.
On any given Labor Day Weekend, the sheer number of live music taking place makes it difficult to decide how to spend your time - but this year, a few dozen partygoers found themselves exactly where they needed to be.
On a moonlit meadow bordered by tents on a crisp hilltop, swirls of light patterns illuminated the matted grass blades beneath their feet, save for the pitch-black cutouts of their sensually twisting silhouettes. A nondescript figure stood a story above them behind a set of turntables with a handful more bodies in motion behind him, bobbing his head to the rhythms of a classic house record while painstakingly planning a transition into an obscure hip-hop B-side.
It's been a year since ODESZA released In Return, the Seattle duo's critically acclaimed sophomore album. It looks as though they wish to expose it to the fans they've earned since, though, as they've just released a deluxe edition that builds on the original effort.
