Listen to San Holo’s Long-Awaited Sophomore Album, “bb u ok?”
It’s been a bit of a windy road to San Holo‘s long-awaited sophomore album, but it’s finally here—and it delivers. Spanning 20 tracks, the expansive album is a tour de force of San Holo’s career and finds him exploring a markedly more indie style. The Chet Porter-assisted “you’ve changed, i’ve changed” is a standout example with its angsty chorus and punk-inspired drum programming, as is “one more day,” an aching indietronica cut with Mija and Mr. Carmack that ties a bow on the LP. Holo largely eschews the soaring future bass sound that propelled him to international acclaim, instead opting for resounding 808s that rumble under light, feathery electroacoustic elements. This approach is executed with finesse in the spacey R...

ILLENIUM Releases Four Massive Edits from his “ASCEND” Tour
ILLENIUM has released a collection of edits from last year’s ASCEND tour. ILLENIUM’s four-track EP gives listeners a chance to relive one of his most exciting tours yet. The EP opens with his unpredictable rework of “Broken Ones” featuring Anna Clendening, which contains a heavy yet minimalistic drop that later transforms into a psytrance heater. He continues to impress by expertly combining “Crashing (feat. Bahari)” with Blanke and 1788-L‘s glitchy midtempo tune “Destiny.” His next edit, a mash-up of his radio hit “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion and his collaboration with Said The Sky and Annika Wells, “Sad Songs,” clocks in at just over six minutes an...
