After months of singles and tantalizing teasers, Grabbitz‘s hotly anticipated third album has finally arrived by way of Hopeless Records. Time Isn’t Real is masterful and innovative, as Grabbitz’s decade of experience pioneering the fusion of rock and electronic music has further opened his own clear-cut lane.

Gritty, gut-wrenching guitar riffs can suddenly be swooped up by dreamy moments, ultimately adding to the mystique of the record. Some of the most impressive tracks on the album are the already well-received “Pigs In The Sky” and “Pain Killers.” Both tunes embody the message, feel, and sound Grabbitz has long embraced, providi...
They say every cloud has a silver lining. With the pandemic finally in the rearview, electronic dance music festivals are back—and so are many of the scene’s beloved artists who have largely remained in the shadows.

If 2022’s albums are any indication, we’re on the precipice of the best years for dance music in history—just like David Guetta boldy predicted. Here are 22 of the most anticipated albums expected to release this year. Flume Palaces, Flume‘s third studio album and first since 2016’s critically acclaimed Skin, is slated to release on May 20th.

Grammy-winning electronic music producer and avid VALORANT gamer Zedd has dropped a new remix of the game’s 2021 championship anthem, Grabbitz‘s “Die For You.” Zedd’s electro house roots shine in the gripping remix, which hit streaming platforms after the VALORANT Champions 2021 tournament wrapped up on December 12th, 2021. It’s not quite the complextro mayhem of yesteryear, but it’s chock full of signature Zedd sounds, especially in the verses. Check out a clip of Zedd and Grabbitz debuting the new “Die For You” remix at the finals opening ceremony, which also featured PVRIS and REZZ, below. Zedd is a diehard VALORANT fan, recently teaming up with the tactical first-person shooter’s developer, Riot Games,...
Grabbitz has the perfect track to soundtrack your holiday gaming binges. Before Riot Games hosts their massive VALORANT Champions gaming tournament next month, a new song fit for players and professionals alike has been revealed. The team behind the extremely popular first-person shooter game has summoned Grabbitz for their inaugural anthem, titled “Die for You.” Carried by another excellent vocal offering from the multi-talented artist, “Die for You” plays out similar to matches in-game. Moments of calm are combined with electric guitar-laden peaks and a futuristic, pounding bassline. The final result feels very inspired by the source material and meshes well with the game’s stylish aesthetic. To really get fans pumped for the big event, an animate...
Subtronics casually dropped a laundry list of previews of high-profile IDs over the past 24 hours. On Monday and Tuesday, he took to Twitter to share a video of some of the unreleased songs he played during his performance at EDC Orlando over the weekend. Not only did he provide a little taste of what’s to come, but he also shared the list of collaborators involved. Starting off the video is a portion of his remix of this festival season’s biggest track, “Do It To It” by ACRAZE and Cherish. Maintaining the vocals from the 2006 single heavily sampled throughout, Subtronics sprinkles in some heavyweight bass and transforms the house anthem into a pounding dubstep banger. The next is a collaboration with Zeds Dead. After introducing the track with a sample from Basemen...
Renowned electronic producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Grabbitz was quick to enrapture the EDM world with his April collaboration with REZZ, “Someone Else,” which spotlighted his stirring, Hozier-esque vocals at their finest. Now, it seems he has done the impossible, transforming the head-banging bass of “Your Fault” by Excision, SLANDER and Elle Vee into a gorgeous chorale cover suitable for all musical palettes. With a dazzling use of harmonies, Grabbitz’s take on “Your Fault” is bound to consume any listener’s attention for the entirety of its single minute, deconstrcuting the track down to pure vocal perfection. It was all done in a style popularized by musician Jacob Collier, with Grabbitz splicing together five...
Last week, EDM’s “Space Mom” REZZ took to the road in the United States for a limited and intimate run of drive-in concerts. With fellow rising star and collaborator Grabbitz in tow, REZZ made stops in Atlanta, Columbus, and Chicago to bring her astounding performances and visuals to audiences hungry for some semblance of a normal music event amid the chaos contrived by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the drive-in format is a novel concept for concert-goers, it appears that REZZ and Grabbitz put on three delightful events to help those fans get their fix of live electronic music in the quarantined United States. In accordance with all nationwide and local regulations, REZZ’s concerts last week provided a safe and exciting experience for her fans in those three c...
Following Malaa‘s official remix of “Someone Else,” REZZ and Grabbitz have recruited—well, someone else for a monster trap rework. This time around, the electronic music stars have tapped blossoming bass producer PEEKABOO to twist their collaborative hit into a raucous trap rendition. While Malaa went the deep house route, PEEKABOO transported the single to the darkest valleys of the bass netherworld, employing quirky plucks, screeching synths, and thunderous 808s to deliver a festival-ready thumper in a world with no festivals. The Detroit-born young gun has emerged one of the most highly sought-after remixers in bass music at the moment. In a post-trap landscape akin to an EDM Wild West where producers get extremely creative with unorthodox sound design, PEEKABOO i...
The selection of Underoath to remix “Someone Else” is genre-blending perfection. Back in April, REZZ and Grabbitz unveiled their hypnotic collaboration “Someone Else” to global praise. The track has racked up over 5 million streams on Spotify in just over 3 months and hit the number 15 spot on Alt Radio in the US as well as the number 1 spot in Canada. Previous REZZ collaborator Underoath has now flipped the electronic tune into a heavy rock jam. Underoath’s “Someone Else” remix stays true to the original in terms of formula, but completely eliminates the electronic elements. Opening with a more atmospheric intro, the track is quickly overtaken by heavy guitar riffs and slamming percussion. Underoath’s rework retains Grabbitz’...
