EDM.com’s Best of 2021: Music Producers
EDM.com proudly publishes four installments of annual year-end coverage: Industry Leaders, Performances, Music Producers, and Songs. DJing and music production are different. But the difference between the two is like a wallflower—it hides in plain sight, and it is vastly misunderstood. To publish a “Top DJ” list would be to undermine the originality, ingenuity, and dauntless imagination of the artists who dedicate their lives to music creation. To honor their fearless creativity and profound dedication to their craft, we’ve recognized 10 of the best electronic music producers of 2021. Laxcity From the feel-good future bass of his Disconnect EP to the textured synths on “melodies from heaven,” Laxcity took over 2021 with his wistfully dreamy takes on the electro...

One of the brightest young producers in electronic music has finally unveiled his debut EP—and it’s a special one. ISOxo dropped his Nightrealm EP today via RL Grime’s Sable Valley imprint.

EDM fans have a habit of skipping to the loudest parts of a song’s waveform—also known as the drop—but doing so would be a crime with Nightrealm.

ISOxo Stuns With Furious Single “Aarena” On RL Grime’s Sable Valley Label
After a gangbusters debut on Sable Valley alongside label boss RL Grime, ISOxo is back with another in-your-face banger on the emerging imprint. All things considered, ISOxo’s follow-up, “Aarena,” starts off deceptively peaceful with glistening synths and ethereal vocal swirls. As the lyrics slowly come into focus, a familiar voice is revealed to be a sample of Natasha Bedingfield from her early 2000s classic “Pocketful of Sunshine,” an intriguing and unconventional sample choice in the broader context of this haunting trap anthem. Even as the consistent calls of “take me away” crescendo through the arrangement, there’s nothing that could’ve quite prepared us for the sweeping bass music barrage to follow. A...

Listen to RL Grime and ISOxo’s New Haunting Trap Banger, “Stinger”
RL Grime is back, baby. After a mini hiatus on the release front, the famed Nova producer has teamed up with young gun ISOxo for “Stinger,” a haunting trap banger arriving by way of his own Sable Valley imprint. “Stinger” is signature RL Grime. More post-trap than OG, the track is a monster bass number that is primed to be rinsed across the festival circuit. Harkening back to his annual fan-favorite Halloween mixes, a pre-drop scream sample sets the tone before all hell breaks loose. The break is just as impressive, with tribal vox and eerie soundscapes that slither through a haunting arrangement before Grime and Iso wallop listeners with a ferocious second drop.

The audio stops short of the drop, but fans can easily discern that it will be a big one considering the production prowess of his collaborator, ISOxo.
