Celebrate Transgender Awareness Week With Music from These Non-Binary and Trans EDM Artists
we spotlighted five trans and non-binary electronic music trailblazers in order to promote their courage, unmatched talent, and flat out badassery. While we may lose sight of our values at times, it’s important to remember and revisit the roots from which they blossomed. A value at the core of EDM is inclusivity, and despite dubious economic and social challenges that never seem to cease, the dance music community must remember that it welcomes all walks of life. There is something to be said about strength in numbers. Today is the beginning of 2020’s Transgender Awareness Week, which is annually observed during the second week of November. The celebration memorializes the transgender community by raising awareness about the identities of its members. It also aims to educate pe...

Honey Dijon Drops Stunning Remix of Love Regenerator and Steve Lacy’s “Live Without Your Love”
Released back in July, “Live Without Your Love” saw Calvin Harris‘ alter ego Love Regenerator and Steve Lacy join forces on a pounding acid house tune. In the closing month of summer, Honey Dijon provided her own spin to Harris’ Defected Records debut. Swapping out much of the acid sound of the original for thumping brass and keys, the new rework transports the already retro-inspired single back even further with sounds of dance music’s past. Anything but dated, Honey Dijon’s tactile “Love Unlimited Remix” serves as an introduction to her renowned house sound for the younger generation who may received their first taste of electronic music from Harris’ pop releases. Honey Dijon’s “Love Unlimited Remix” o...
Honey Dijon Discusses Origins of Her “Realness Remix” for Lady Gaga In Insightful Apple Music Interview
Honey Dijon dropped a statement-making remix of Lady Gaga‘s “Free Woman” this week and sat down with Zane Lowe to discuss how it all went down in an illuminating, wide-ranging interview. The Chicago-born house DJ and producer released her remix of Lady Gaga’s “Free Woman,” a cut from the latter’s Chromatica album, playing up the song’s natural club elements, adding a thumping foundational kick and layering in supportive rhythmic instrumentation. While the remix choice feels like a natural fit, the story of how the project ultimately came to fruition was somewhat circuitous. Honey Dijon told Lowe she was originally offered the opportunity to remix Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande‘s “Rain On Me.” Ultimately, she did not f...
The 101 Best Albums of the 2010s
Why now? Because — and there’s no reason to ignore the elephant in the room: SPIN stewardship has changed hands many, many times since we made the online jump — we got our chance. Because plenty of our favorite albums of the last 10 years could still use a boost. Because some of the already unanimously beloved music on this list still merits further praise. Because we relish excuses to sound off on the music that’s affected us the most and to enlist some of our favorite writers to do so. Because the works of art below serve as a reminder that the 2010s weren’t all bad. Because lord knows we need the distraction. Because it’s fun. There’s a lot of music that isn’t on this list. Which, duh, but plenty of artists whose work defined the decade for many, many people, including many of us, ...
