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...
NGHTMRE and Alexandar Smash Drop Future Bass Anthem “Speak Easy”
For his latest future bass anthem, NGHTMRE has joined forces with rising duo Alexandar Smash on a new single called “Speak Easy,” which features a stunning vocal performance from Ghostlo. “Speak Easy” opens with a gentle touch as Ghostlo’s gossamer vocals float atop soft, distorted synths. The chords begin to progress into an eerie soundscape that eventually crescendos into a soaring drop that should do well to bellow through the festival circuit as it returns in 2021. Rippling with warm saws and thick 808s, the track engulfs the senses as its delicate vocals lend to a beautifully balanced arrangement. Listen to the new single below, which arrived by way of Ultra Records. “‘Speak Easy’ was one of those tracks that really came t...

An Excision song at 102 BPM is completely out of left-field, but considering the forward-thinki...

Rossy, a rising artist on the precipice of stardom in the electronic music space, has dropped her long-awaited collaboration alongside bass music duo We Rose. “See Through” is a stunning piece of emotive bass set against a melodic atmosphere that highlights the best of what both artists have to offer.

Benzi Expands His Sound with New Melodic Single “Red Rover (feat. Sad Alex)”
New York’s Benzi is well known for his “#BANGUERS with Benzi” radio show on SiriusXM and his hard-hitting trap style. However, the producer and DJ’s latest single is a bit of a departure from his normal amped-up productions. “Red Rover” is Benzi’s latest offering and it features vocalist Sad Alex. Taking a more emotional and melodic approach, “Red Rover” teeters more toward a future bass-infused sound, not unlike recent releases from The Chainsmokers or Martin Garrix. That’s not to say that Benzi’s unique flavor isn’t ever-present in the production—the bass is just as crushing as ever, and the percussion draws nicely on the trap-inspired elements that the producer is so well-known f...
