Disclosure must have sensed that your queue was lacking sexy, soulful house music on this fine Monday, so they've come to the rescue with "Hourglass." The latest from their upcoming sophomore effort, Caracal, this track features a top line by vocalist Lion Babe that adds to the Surrey, England brothers' repertoire of collaborators.
2015 has been a tremendous year for progressive house innovator Eric Prydz. The "Generate" producer has capped off a strong series of tours with the announcement of his debut album next month, with a series of EPs leading up to it. Clearly this wasn't enough, because Prydz has announced yet another album under his Cirez D alias.
DVBBS have got major news - well, for them and anybody who actually likes whatever it is they do. The Canadian DJ/producer duo have revealed that they will release an album sometime in 2016, to what I can only imagine to have been the world's most resounding "meh."
Nothing like a brand-new KSHMR release to turn heads. The already decorated producer has remained quiet on the release front in recent months leading up to his debut performances, but broke his dry spell to deliver a remix of Avicii's "For a Better Day."
UK electronic music trio Nero has certainly been one of the more highly anticipated acts to pop back up on the EDM world's collective radar in 2015. This weekend saw the release of a their new full-length effort, Between II Worlds, and they've followed it up with a spectacle of a BBC Radio 1 essential mix.
It’s hard to pinpoint the essence of what makes a rave a rave. It’s not a collection of instantly recognizable artist logos on a flyer, or the sum total of confetti, lighting and pyrotechnics used in any given production. It’s not kandi bracelets, fluffies or totems, and it’s definitely much more than words like peace, love, unity or respect could ever capture. When it comes down to it, it’s not really even just the music or the crowd.
With all the quality music that The Chainsmokers have been putting out recently, it comes as no surprise that they would team up with another one of our favorites on a big, new collaboration. The New York City-based DJ duo recently enlisted Jenaux on a festival-friendly version of Steve Angello's remix of "Not So Dirty," by Who's Who?, and it's a perfect way to close out the festival season.
It's funny how small of an impact Steve Aoki taking a hiatus from releases for the better part of the festival season actually has on the EDM community. The L.A.-based DJ/producer has been quiet on the new track front since May's Neon Future II, and quite frankly, I wouldn't have complained if he stayed that way.
It's not all that often that somebody comes along who can remix a Porter Robinson song and truly pay it justice, but Mat Zo has proven himself capable of such an undertaking. The recently controversial progressive trance DJ/producer has turned out a remix of Robinson's "Flicker" that brings a host of new elements to the already poignant production.
As EDM continues its multinational takeover, the lineup for this year's edition of Djakarta Warehouse Project proves that the names we've come to associate with the worldwide movement carry just as much weight on the other side of the world. On December 11th and 12th the Indonesian festival will celebrate its seventh annual edition, and its organizers are sparing no expense in making it one for the books.
