It feels like we've been waiting the whole festival season for updates on Kaskade's upcoming album. The progressive house icon first made mention of the effort around the time he released "Never Sleep Alone" several months ago, but remained quiet up to now.
John Dahlback's "Raven" was recently premiered on Avicii's Le7els podcast, and it features a stylistic synthesis we haven't seen yet from the producer.
With the release of his new album, Stories, approaching, Avicii appears to be hard at work putting the finishing touches on what productions he hasn't already premiered live - but not entirely in the way we pictured. If a recent Instagram post is any indication, the Swedish Superstar DJ/producer's vocals will be incorporated into one or more tracks on the effort.
Who isn't Tiƫsto collaborating with these days? Hot on the heels of his track with Don Diablo, the international superstar DJ/producer has released a main stage banger from Firebeatz through his Musical Freedom imprint - but not before leaving an imprint of his own on the production.
The Chemical Brothers knocked it out of the park on their recent album, Born in the Echoes - so much so that even the material deemed unsuitable for the effort exceeds expectations. The '90s big beat legends apparently had more quality music than they knew what to do with, because they've released a bonus track from the album in the form of "Wo-Ha."
Among the numerous festivals that take place during the month of July, Lollapalooza may be the historically richest. Having taken place off and on in different formats since 1991, the event series has succeeded in propelling a variety of artists into the mainstream spotlight. While superstar DJ/producer Kaskade may not necessarily be one of them, he does hail from the festival's hometown of Chicago - and he played a set at this year's installment that brought the house down.
It's been a little while since we heard any updates on Nero's new album. Roughly four years after releasing their debut album, Welcome Reality, the trio revealed that they were working on Between II Worlds earlier in the year - and the latest track to trickle out from the effort, "Two Minds," has just received its own futuristic music video.
Tiƫsto and KSHMR's "Secrets" has turned out to be the most memorable track put out by either artist this year, but Don Diablo's version falls just a bit short of paying it justice. Time and time again I've aired my grievances with the Dutchman, and he's given me reason to blast him once again.
EDX has returned with another deep, sexy edition of his No Xcuses podcast. It's been several months since we premiered one of these shows for the Swiss DJ/producer, and this edition of the series features some quality tracks.
FTampa's been back on the scene in a major way as of late. The Brazilian DJ/producer wowed us with "That Drop" in April, but we hadn't heard much from him since until he released "S.I.D.H.A.N." last month - and it looks like he was just getting warmed up, because today he's released his collaboration with fellow Brazilian The Fish House, "031."
