We like that Dillon Francis makes us laugh a lot in the periods during which he goes light on the releases, but this time around he's kept us waiting a while. Never to fear, though, because the unofficial moombahton poster child has finally announced the official release date for his upcoming This Mixtape Is Fire EP.
Progressive house mainstay Sander Van Doorn has just released a new track in the form of "Oh, Amazing Bass." With support from the likes of Tiësto, Oliver Heldens and A-Trak, the song is sure to find its way into its fair share of DJ sets over the remainder of the festival season.
It's always a good day when Nero's got new material, and seeing as how they've got a new album coming up, the days have been good indeed. The UK trio turned heads with the announcement of their sophomore album, Between II Worlds, and the tracks they've released since have done well to stoke their eager fanbase. In case the buzz was starting to die down, they've rolled out another quality piece of music in the form of "Two Minds."
In the days following the 2015 edition of Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, the officials tasked with assessing the damage have compiled more data assessing the negative impacts of the world-renowned festival. We already brought you the story of the tragic death of an attendee now identified as Nicholas Austin that took place on the morning of Sunday, the 21st as well as some single-day arrest and hospitalization figures, but the latest information available helps to tell the full story.
I'll be perfectly honest, I'm ashamed to like a country/EDM crossover track as much as I like how the teaser for this one sounds, but I've gotta give "Something Better" by Audien featuring Lady Antebellum my seal of approval. It wasn't all that long ago that we spoke with the trance/progressive house mastermind about his expert grasp of melody, and it's seldom been more evident than it is in this track.
So far 2015's been all about house music, and it looks like Michael Calfan's following suit. The French DJ/producer has succeeded in redefining his sound over the past year, aligning towards a style that he describes as "soul house" or "melodic house" - and his latest track, "Mercy," fits the bill to a T.
It's impossible to deny the impact that bass music icon Sonny Moore A.K.A. Skrillex has had on EDM. The former From First To Last frontman left an imprint on the movement during the dubstep breakthrough of 2010 so lasting that it has carried him into mainstream superstardom, and even though I don't celebrate everything he's released with Diplo under their Jack Ü project as much as his older releases, I can't deny that he's deserving of what success he's achieved.
When you've made the kind of name for yourself in EDM that Steve Angello has, it's hard to stay put. It wasn't a year ago that the former one third of now-defunct progressive house supergroup Swedish House Mafia announced that he would begin a two-year residency at LIFE at the SLS Hotel in Las Vegas, but he's already left for greener pastures - and the pastures don't get a whole lot greener than Omnia Nightclub at Caesar's Palace.
Footage of progressive house icon deadmau5' brand-new stage show has been making its rounds - first from his Governor's Ball Performance, and then from his Bonnaroo set - and while both have been removed by mau5trap records, the demand for such videos has clearly been recognized as the most polished one yet has found its way to his fans. This high-definition video captures an entire set he just performed at Hurricane Festival in Germany and features multiple angles as well as a full track list from the performance.
This festival season, Martin Garrix has been dropping progressive house bombs like a madman. The 19-year-old producer sought to reinvent himself after his 2014 hit "Animals" became the "Sandstorm" of the contemporary EDM generation, and he follows up his Tiësto collaboration and new track debuts with a powerful joint effort between himself and Russian progressive house duo Matisse & Sadko.
