Getter Apologetically Cancels Shows Due to Ear Ailment, Surgery
Getter has cancelled a number of shows on his 2021 North American tour due to a severe ear ailment. Sadly, it seems the superstar electronic music producer and DJ can’t catch a break with his health. In 2019, he took some time off to focus on his mental health. Considering the precarious nature of musicians’ mental and physical wellbeing, such respites are incredibly important for them since they often endure grueling music production and touring schedules. “we all know i have been having some weird ear problems,” Getter said in a tweeted statement on December 2nd. “i got the surgery for it, i took all the medicines they gave me, i even quit my juul because so many ppl told me it could be making it worse. all these efforts have done nothin...

Fans hoping for the classic ILLENIUM sound can find solace in the original version of “Story Of My Life,” which drops on Friday and will almost certainly be rooted in his signature melodic bass style.

NGHTMRE and Zomboy Wreak Havoc With “Shell Shock” Alongside Georgia Ku: Listen
When they launched their joint label Gud Vibrations back in 2018, little did SLANDER and NGHTMRE know that their 100th release would come with such a bang. Tapping UK-based heavyweight Zomboy and acclaimed vocalist Georgia Ku, NGHTMRE has unveiled his latest single “Shell Shock,” a ruthless dubstep ballad bound to light up stages across the world. On top of being the 100th release on Gud Vibrations, “Shell Shock” marks Zomboy’s first original music after a two-year hiatus, which—interestingly enough—came just in time for Halloween weekend. “Shell Shock” masterfully juxtaposes menacing drops with Ku’s heavenly yet powerful vocals.

Titled “Transmutation Sequence,” the track skyrocketed to the top of his fans’ list of favorites the second it made its live debut. Embodying all the themes that make for an all-time SVDDEN DEATH release—and dripping with his signature style—it’s very easy to see why fans held their breath for so long.

Apparently Billie Eilish Loves Dubstep—And Skrillex
Have you ever wondered what a dubstep song from Billie Eilish would sound like? Neither have we. But it’s now top-of-mind thanks to a new interview with The New Yorker, who chatted with Eilish and her brother FINNEAS, a prolific music producer and the mastermind behind the vast majority of her recordings. The Grammy-winning siblings recently took the virtual stage at the The New Yorker Festival, which featured discussions and performances by some of the most prominent names in music, literature, politics, film, art, and pop culture. And of all the things to analyze at such a prestigious summit, Eilish and FINNEAS chose dubstep. Eilish is apparently a fan of Skrillex and his old-school sound, which longtime diehards have been clamoring for as he continues to produce pop-ori...
Listen to Rich DietZ and Poya’s Anthemic Trap Banger “Empire”
Rich DietZ are back—but this time with an exciting new look. Known for their unique twist on house music, the duo have eschewed their signature sound, teaming up with dubstep producer Poya for a brand new banger called “Empire.” “Empire” is a slight departure, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. The thunderous single is as authoritative as its title suggests, a post-summer trap anthem that moonlights as a celebration of the long-awaited return of music festivals. The track’s mirthful lyrics invite listeners to simply let loose—and to break necks, of course. After a typically head-bopping hip-hop section, wherein Rich DietZ spit hedonistic verses over a smooth beat, “Empire” builds into something more menacing. Ev...
