Subtronics Announces Release Date for NGHTMRE and Boogie T Collab “Nuclear Bass Face”
Subtronics just dropped a nuclear warhead of a tweet in the form of an announcement that he is releasing a new single with NGHTMRE and Boogie T. The collaboration, titled “Nuclear Bass Face,” will drop next Friday, May 29th, 2020. Considering the track’s title, you don’t need to be a quantum physics professor to figure out that this dream collaboration will most likely be a mammoth dubstep anthem. Check out the video below to see Subtronics playing out an unreleased NGHTMRE collab, which, while we’re unable to confirm it’s the same song, we’re certainly safe to push our chips to the center of the pile and bet on it being “Nuclear Bass Face.” Both Subtronics and NGHTMRE have been playing out “Nuclear Bass Face” since 2019.

Jon Stewart’s Movie Irresistible Getting Digital Release This Summer
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a complete reshuffling of movie releases, what with theaters across the country shuttered.

Originally scheduled to debut in theaters on May 29th, Focus Features has announced that the film will now see PVOD release on June 26th.

100 gecs Throw a Backyard Rave on New “stupid horse” Remix: Stream
Earlier this month saw 100 gecs member Dylan Brady contribute extensively to how i’m feeling now, the quarantine album from Charli XCX. Now, 100 gecs proper are back with new material of their own: a remix of “stupid horse” featuring UK pop singer GFOTY and producer Count Baldor. Compared to the original version found on last year’s acclaimed 1000 gecs debut, today’s rework capitalizes further on the duo’s manic, off-the-wall brand of experimental, futurist pop. Guitar parts have been swapped out for shredder-like synths and the whole thing feels like a Blink-182 and Sleigh Bells mashup on the verge of implosion. Check out the remix below via an official video directed and edited by Weston Allen. As to be expected from 100 gecs’ Brady and Laura Les, it’s a bonkers watch filled wi...
