Channel Tres Announces Long-Awaited Debut Album, Real Cultural Shit

After releasing a host of irresistible house tracks such as “Controller” and “Top Down” in the past four years, Compton-based artist/producer Channel Tres will finally bring forth his debut album in 2022. Real Cultural Shit will arrive this fall on Godmode and is led by the jubilant new single “Just Can’t Get Enough,” which samples the late soul legend Teddy Pendergrass. While Beyoncé and Drake have successfully dipped their toes into the house music waters of late, Channel Tres has given the genre a major signal boast since his first officially released tracks back in 2018. “My dad is from Chicago. House music was created there, and over time the music got lost in translation,” says the artist, whose real name is Sheldon Young. “So, when I studied it and I saw that it was African-American...

A Beyoncé Dance Album? Here’s 6 House Music Producers Who Would Thrive On “Renaissance”

It’s album release month for Beyoncé, and the world is waiting on bated breath. After all, Renaissance‘s lead single, “Break My Soul,” has already made history. Queen Bey is now the first ever woman to release 20 Top 10 hits as a solo artist as well as 10 as a member of a group.  Not to mention the house-minded rhythm and groove in “Break My Soul,” which samples a timeless dance anthem. With her previous albums, Beyoncé has counted artists like Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West as collaborators. And based on the creative direction Renaissance seems to be headed in, it’s fair to wonder whether or not house music producers are next up in her storied career. Here are six artists we think would slay on Beyoncé&#...

Duke Dumont Releases Club-Ready Seventh Edition of “For Club Play Only” EP Series

Following the release of last year’s Duality LP, Duke Dumont has returned with his first release of the year, For Club Play Only Pt. 7. The new two-track EP arrives at a time when clubs, venues, and festivals are revving back to life.
