DJ Snake is putting the finishing touches on a massive 2022 by dipping into Bollywood culture with “Guddi Riddim.” It’s been a certifiably groovy year for Snake, who has been laser-focused on delivering one dancefloor-commanding rhythm after another with releases such as “Night Bird” and “Deep” (with frequent collaborator Malaa).

Cloverdale Cooks Up Peak-Hour Club Single, “Up All Night”
Cloverdale’s “Up All Night” is the tipping point leading into the peak-hour at the club. The Canadian house music artist has had a memorable year in 2022 with high-profile festival slots at EDC Las Vegas and Nocturnal Wonderland, but while “Up All Night” is similarly tailor-made for losing yourself in neon lights, Cloverdale brings a more intimate energy to the track with the help of BABA NO BABY. Cloverdale shared that upon floating the idea to BABA NO BABY, the two were down to business in the studio the very next day. The producer tips his hat to the underground with driving low end baselines that strategically walk the lane between techno and invigorating bass house. Underpinned by an intricate groove of pumping kicks, crisp hi-hats and high-energy ads-libs, the groove is capped off wi...
Blossom Levels Up With New Single and First-Ever Headlining Tour
Don’t be fooled by Blossom‘s endearing dimples, pink hair and chic outfits. Underneath all the cute lies a force to be reckoned with. The surging DJ and house music producer has released “On My Own,” the first single off a forthcoming EP. Out now on her very own Pink Planet imprint, the dark and wistful tune puts dreamy vocals and gritty synths at the forefront, complemented by a pumping bassline and spacey, atmospheric sound design. In the contemplative track, Blossom ruminates about the loneliness that comes after heartbreak. “‘On My Own’ is an ode to the people I once loved and lost, and an exploration into who I must become in order to transition into who I’m destined to be,” she explained in a statement.

Mason Talbot Drops Soulful House Anthem, “Lookin’ For”
In the midst of a breakout year, Mason Talbot has poured gasoline on the hype with a stunning new single, “Lookin’ For.” It’s easy to hear why renowned house music producers like MK, Hannah Wants and Lee Foss have been supporting the young beatsmith. “Lookin’ For” is minimal in nature, but resounding in its arrangement and sound design. It’s soulful house music at its finest, bursting at its seams with radiant U.K. influences and visceral sound design. It’s easy to get hypnotized by the track’s bluesy vocals at first listen, but its real pièce de résistance is its bassline. Talbot produces a thick low end here, one that you can feel in your bones as it runs roughshod through thumping drums. It all points to yet another scintillati...
Listen: Gorillaz Recruit Dom Dolla for Massive Remix of “New Gold”
Back in August, Gorillaz released their single “New Gold” alongside Tame Impala and Bootie Brown. The second single off their forthcoming album, Cracker Island, the track offers a psychedelic twist on the iconic band’s classic indietronica sound. Now, house music superstar Dom Dolla has been selected for an official remix, which is out now. It’s rare for Gorillaz to recruit remixers—save for a 2020 remix by Robert Smith, the last time was over four years ago. The remix begins with atmospheric vocal chops, which layer over Parker’s hypnotic vocals for a blissful, floating effect. Brown’s unapologetic verses then enter the fray before a tense build, which culminates in an anthemic tech house drop. It’s a signature Dolla record and one that doubles as a car...
Honey Dijon’s Entrancing Sophomore Album Is Here: Listen to “Black Girl Magic”
Honey Dijon has finally released her highly anticipated Black Girl Magic album. Featuring collaborations with boundary-breaking artists like Channel Tres and Pabllo Vittar, among others, Black Girl Magic interpolates spoken word soliloquies with pulsing sound design and unapologetic lyricism. The album opens with “Love Is,” a record which defines its entire purpose and concept: love. The ensuing track, “Love Is a State of Mind,” picks up the tempo with a brisk four-on-the-floor house groove and acid house-inspired synths. Dancing up to “In The Club,” Dijon’s sound gets more nostalgic. Fluttering, filtered synths and a palpitating bassline carry us right into Eve’s warm vocals. Honey Dijon. Ricardo Gomes She closes out Black G...
The Blessed Madonna Drops First New Single In 5 Years, “Serotonin Moonbeams”
The Blessed Madonna is back with her first new single in five years, “Serotonin Moonbeams.” Backed by defiant, sassy vocals from Uffie, the track is bursting with disco-house fervor. Its cathartic bridge, “Serotonin got me screaming, ‘love, love, love, love,” lends to a rapturous anthem that celebrates the intrinsic bonds we’re able to create “when serotonal conditions are right.” “We talked about what it was like to fall in love in the Vicks Vapo-rub, candy-soaked raves of the 90s. It’s about ‘cuddle puddles’ and the intense emotional, physical and spiritual connections that can form when serotonal conditions are right,” said The Blessed Madonna in a statement. “Barriers that might exist in a normal dating atmosphere ...

After two years of rinsing out a mythical ID, Chris Lake has finally released the highly anticipated track, “In The Yuma,” by way of his own Black Book Records imprint. A collaboration with Aatig, “In The Yuma” is an uplifting tech house record inspired by Lake’s 2019 Coachella performance in—you guessed it—the Yuma Tent. The invigorating track begins with a soft croon, “I feel so good / Don’t bring me down,” before Lake introduces a kinetic bassline with punchy piano chords and a thumping kick drum. You can listen to “In The Yuma” below. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles The chart-topping house music tastemaker called his new track “the best thing [he] did in the pandemic...
Techno and House Music Dominate Frank Ocean’s New Radio Show Episode
Frank Ocean has shared a revealing window into the electronic tracks bumping around in the office afterhours. In the third episode of Ocean’s “Homer Radio” show on Apple Music 1, the elusive artist leaned heavily into techno and house music. The mix features a myriad of electronic tracks by artists such as Green Velvet, who have long waved the flag of the underground dance music scene. The curated offering is particularly notable after comments made in 2019 by Ocean, who said his next album was likely to embrace the influences of club music’s cultural epicenters. “I’ve been interested in club, and the many different iterations of nightlife for music and songs,” he said at the time. “And so the things I look at now have a lot to do with those scenes: Detr...
