A music legend has joined forces with one of EDM’s most puzzling acts. For decades, the 74-year-old Jean-Michel Jarre has been innovating electronic music and the way we interact with it. With over 20 studio albums and a number of record-breaking performances under his belt, the pioneering artist has never been afraid to take chances. Now, 50 years after the release of his debut studio album, Jarre has teamed up with one of electronic music’s most enigmatic acts, Deathpact. Ahead of Jarre’s upcoming 22nd album, OXYMORE, he and the mysterious collective have teamed up to remix “BRUTALISM.” According to a press release, the original version of the track was inspired by the late Pierre Henry and “the early days of Berlin techno” w...
Deathpact are multiplying at an alarming rate. Last month, fans were shocked to see a second Deathpact member taking the stage at Shambhala Music Festival. Now, four years after the inception of the anonymous project, it seems two more have emerged from the depths.

Deathpact ultimately announced Midheaven, a four-show tour with an eyebrow-raising catch. On Friday, November 4th, Deathpact will play four different shows on the same night across four corners of North America. Scroll to Continue Recommen...

REZZ’s influence in electronic music is as unique as it is unmatched, a notion that rings as true as ever after the Canadian beatsmith finally unveiled her long-awaited Spiral LP, which arrived today by way of RCA Recordings.
