Kygo and OneRepublic Perform Iso-Rendition of ‘Lose Somebody’ for ‘Tonight Show’: Watch

To label Kygo as an EDM DJ is underselling him. The Norwegian artist does spin discs, and produce electronic music. And during his appearance Wednesday on The Tonight Show, he showcased his talents on a grand piano. Kygo (real name Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll) performed an iso-version of “Lose Somebody” with OneRepublic, a collaboration lifted from Golden Hour, the multi-talented European musician’s latest LP. The Nordic wonder is in the mix with another collaboration doing big things on sales charts around the globe. His remix of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It” is on target to give the soul legend her first U.K. top 40 hit in more than a decade. Golden Hour peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 in June. Watch the performance below. [embedded content] You Deserve to Make Money Even W...

Porter Robinson Drops a Shimmering Remix of His Own ‘Get Your Wish’

Porter Robinson fans are today (July 22) getting a double dose of the producer, with Robinson dropping a remix of his own “Get Your Wish.” The edit is a sped-up, tricked-out take on the original, with violins and drums traded for shimmery, glitchy effects and the already pitched up vocals pitched up even higher. The remix — the first work Robinson has released under his DJ Not Porter Robinson alias — follows another official edit of the track by Anamanaguchi that was released last week. Hear both “Get Your Wish” edits below. “Get your wish is a song about finding a reason to keep going, even if it’s not for your own sake,” Robinson wrote of the original song upon its release in January. “Get Your Wish” is the lead single fro...

The Video for Bronson’s Latest Single ‘Keep Moving’ Is a Corporate Culture Fever Dream

While many of are still trading office life for working on the couch in our sweatpants, the new video from Bronson brings us back to our desks via its surrealist approach to life on the corporate ladder. In the clip for the trio’s latest single “Keep Moving” (out today, July 21) the pristinely dressed employees of Bronson Inc. partake in corporate strategy in the midst of an increasingly surreal series of events including miniature corporate drones shooting out of computer screens, dead-eyed employees lip-syncing the song lyrics and a man casually on fire in the boardroom in what appears to be an homage to the cover of Pink Floyd‘s Wish You Were Here. Watch the video below. The creeping panic is set to the tune of the newest track from Bronson, the electronic music ...

In the past five days we got a vibey new single from Bob Moses and Zhu, Inner City released its first album in 30 years, Zedd dropped his first new music of 2020 and, incredibly, Kygo collab’d with Tina Turner.

From house t...

20 Questions With Inner City: Kevin Saunderson, His Son Dantiez & Steffanie Christi’an Release the Group’s First Album in 30 Years

Nearly 30 years after the release of their last album, Inner City is back. The seminal dance music project began in the late ’80s, when Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson linked with singer Paris Grey for the 1989 debut Inner City album, Paradise. That LP generated a pair of all-time genre classics in “Good Life” and “Big Fun,” with the latter track hitting No. 1 on Billboard‘s Dance/Club Songs chart in the fall of 1988. The duo then followed up with 1990’s Fire and 1992’s Praise before letting the globally successful project rest for the next 28 years. Now featuring Saunderson, his son Dantiez (an accomplished producer in his own right) and vocalist Steffanie Christi’an, Inner City has today (July 17) released We All Move Toge...

Pleasure or Pain? The Choice Is Yours With This New Interactive Video From Bob Moses & Zhu

Pleasure and pain are both common side effects of desire, with this trifecta of emotions broken down in colorful contrast via “Desire,” a new collaborative single and video from Bob Moses and Zhu. The song is a darkly vibey homage to lust and love, with its video allowing viewers to choose their own adventure in amore by pushing “pleasure” and “pain” buttons. These buttons change the colors of the video from red to blue, turn beating hearts into burning fires, transform an embracing couple into a solo figure in free-fall, make images of Bob Moses appear and disappear throughout the animated cityscape and create other effects.The clip was directed by Owen Brown of  the creative agency CTRL5. “Desire” is the title track and lead single fro...

On This Day in Billboard Dance History: Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers Got Lucky

If there were a Mount Rushmore of electronic music, Daft Punk‘s helmets would surely be blasted into the side of a mountain. But in fact, the robot icons have only have a single No. 1 song to their name. In the spring of 2013, the anticipation around Daft Punk’s forthcoming LP was kinetic. It had been eight years since the duo’s last studio album, Human After All — a noisy, industrial electro banger that extended the game-changing aural aesthetic of their prior two LPs, 1997’s Homework and 2001’s Discovery. It had also been seven years since Daft Punk’s seminal 2006 Coachella performance, which is still cited as one of the best shows in the 20-year history of the festival and is considered a gateway moment for the burgeoning rise of dance musi...
