Anna Lunoe Teams Up With Genesis Owusu for Silky Smooth House Track, “Back Seat”

When it comes to electronic music-making, it truly can take a village. Anna Lunoe‘s latest release, a collab with Genesis Owusu called “Back Seat,” is our case in point.  Out via the Nina Las Vegas-helmed NLV Records, “Back Seat” is a hip-shaking acid house triumph. It’s also Lunoe’s first original single of the year, marking an exciting return for the Australian dance music veteran. The song shines bright with Owusu’s silky smooth vocals. They’re perfectly matched by an infectiously funky bassline from Aussie artist Touch Sensitive, guaranteed to be stuck in your head for days.  And those aren’t the only friends who pitched in, according to Lunoe. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and...

Tony Romera Drops Unrelenting House Heater “MS69” on Monstercat

Hot off the heels of his latest single “VHS,” Tony Romera has returned to Monstercat with an unrelenting house heater called “MS69.” The brooding grittiness of “MS69” is right on brand for the French producer’s signature bass house sound. Making use of an intoxicating vocal sample and aggressive Korg synth, Romera has cooked up an incredibly catchy beat. Check out the new track below.  “I was feeling heated the day I made “MS69,” he said. “It was originally called ‘UPS FDP,’ which translates to me cursing at UPS in French slang, because they were late on delivering my new synths.” “Since I wasn’t able to get them in time, I decided to make a super aggressive track with my Korg MS-20,” Romera cont...

Pixel Terror Showcase New Direction in Remix of Iconic “Rhythm Is a Dancer” [Premiere]

Known for their glitchy dubstep sound, beloved bass music pair Pixel Terror are hanging up the wobbles for a moment, reworking Snap!‘s iconic 1992 single “Rhythm Is a Dancer” into a riveting house track. Pixel Terror have stayed true to the classic tune for their official remix, building around the timeless vocal performance of Thea Austin with precision. To ramp things up, they produced brisk drum patterns atop a pulsing bassline for a modern jam inspired by the disco scene of yesteryear. Pixel Terror has been on a rampage in 2021. After kicking off the year with their relentless Artillery EP on Kayzo’s Welcome Records, they arrived on electronic tastemaker Monstercat for back-to-back singles, “Medusa” and “Sleepless.” The dig...

Listen to Marshmello, Megan Thee Stallion and Nitti Gritti’s House Banger “Bad Bitches”

It’s shaping up to be another meteoric month for Marshmello after the masked producer dropped his second high-profile collaborative track in less than a week.  Following up on “Hitta” alongside Eptic and Juicy J, Mello has now joined forces with Nitti Gritti and Megan Thee Stallion for a club-ready collaboration called “Bad Bitches,” which will appear on his upcoming Shockwave LP. Seeing these three artists in the title, we didn’t necessarily expect house to be the genre of choice, but Marshmello is is known to keep his fans on their toes. Similar to his production efforts on the ferocious “Hitta,” his latest single harkens back to the superstar producer’s dance music roots, albeit in a much different capacity. The t...

Nostalgix Links With Deadbeats for Edgy New Bass House EP, “Black Mirror”

Following the April release of “Realest,” rising Vancouver-based house producer Nostalgix is already back for more with her new EP, Black Mirror. Released June 6th via Zeds Dead’s venerated Deadbeats banner, the record features two new tracks. Black Mirror pulls its underground edge from booming combinations of rave sirens, rapid percussion lines and pulsing basslines. Its titular track—with hip-hop artist Wasiu—builds on an eerie synth soundscape, while “Undercover” with the UK-based Bigredcap is a scintillating blend of bass house, grime and rap. In addition to the new EP, Nostalgix released a self-directed music video for “Black Mirror,” shot by Leesa Weighill. Inspired by The Matrix, it includes a combina...

Chicago Councilman Proposes 24-Hour House Music Clubs

Chicago is known around the world as the birthplace of house music. Despite that fact, however, the city apparently does not have any late-night clubs. City Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa recognizes that problem, and is seeking to change it. “House music was born in Chicago,” he tweeted on May 31st. “I’ve met many tourists who are shocked to learn Chicago has no late-night House music clubs. We should consider allowing two 24-hour nightclubs (one downtown/northside, one southside) to tap into the international market for Chicago House music.” While the idea of two nonstop house music clubs will undoubtedly be appealing to any clubber, Ramirez-Rosa also highlights the impact such venues would have on Chicago’s tourism sector and the revenue that could be ge...
