If you weren’t aware Skrillex is back, his new single is quite the wakeup call. The dubstep icon, who is gearing up for a momentous double-album release in 2023, today released “Leave Me Like This.” It’s an electrifying rush of house music featuring Minnesota hip-hop artist Bobby Raps, whose hypnotic vocals float atop an arrangement that tiptoes the wire between ballad and banger. In the second drop, Skrillex brings back his iconic “Oh my god!” sample, which he famously used over a decade ago in “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.” Take a listen to “Leave Me Like This” below and stream it here.

Cash Cash Celebrate Unconditional Love In First Single After Two-Year Break, “Anyway”
Whether it’s love from a friend, partner, dog or even yourself, love really is all we need. That notion rings true in Cash Cash‘s new single, “Anyway,” which evokes the celebratory bliss of wholehearted, unconditional love. And what better way for the renowned dance music trio to mark their return from a nearly two-year hiatus—and recent signing to Ultra Records—than delivering such a powerful message? Joining forces with Grammy-nominated artist RuthAnne, Cash Cash have released a dance-pop crossover that is equal parts emotive and uplifting. RuthAnne’s soaring vocals complement the group’s breezy sound design, which is as potent as ever. And if you take a closer listen, RuthAnne’s heartfelt lyrics are a love letter to the ones in our liv...
Afrojack, Chico Rose and Mougleta Reject Old Flames In Unapologetic Single, “Alone Again”
Chico Rose takes the lead in “Alone Again,” a dark and sultry dance record produced alongside Dutch compatriot Afrojack. The frequent collaborators have returned to Spinnin’ Records to release the new track, a spellbinding pop-house hybrid. This time around, Rose and Afrojack joined forces with Canadian singer-songwriter Mougleta, whose stunning vocal performance hypnotizes and haunts the senses. A stark contrast to 2019’s peak-time progressive anthem “Never Sleeps,” the woozy collab finds the duo trading soaring sound design for hypnotic bass. The track would be a seductive, come-hither banger if not for Mougleta, who unapologetically warbles about rejecting an old flame. If there was a song equivalent to leaving a desperate ex read, this is it. Take a ...
Listen: Feed Me Re-Launches Musical Alias In the Works Since 2007
Feed Me is a man of many aliases. The longtime electronic music great, who has produced under the alias Spor, has been prevalently considered a creative switchblade given his multi-genre talents, exceptional visual design ability and the strength of his brand. Many of those skillsets are converging once again for the lanuch of a new project from the renowned U.K. artist, whose real name is Jon Gooch. In a recent announcement, he explained that Seventh Stitch has been a passion project in the works since 2007. Gooch likened the project to a “personal diary,” a safe space for sharing whatever emotions he was experiencing in the moment. Since then, it’s become something of a time capsule after accumulating years of collective memories and insights. Scroll to Cont...
Here’s a Bone-Chilling Psytrance Remix of the “Wednesday” Theme Song
Spooky, kooky and groovy—there’s a new remix of the theme song from Netflix’s runaway hit Wednesday for all fans of the macabre. It’s only fitting that the ethos of the iconic goth family—who are anything but average—receives a whimsical remix, and Flawx has delivered in spades. Thrashing along at a brisk 150 BPM, his psytrance-inspired take on the Wednesday theme doubles as a heart-pumping adrenaline rush to animate the most diehard fans of hard dance music. Many have likened the spine-tingling series’ theme to a compositional mashup of The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and the original theme music from The Addams Family. Flawx expertly intertwines the entangled melodies into the fabric of a high-energy electronic music framework with...

Fresh off a batch of singles on Don Diablo’s Hexagon, Future House Music and Spinnin’ Records as well as collaborations with Firebeatz and RetroVision, the Dutch producer has landed on Actuation with “Call Me Anytime.” A short-yet-sweet DJ weapon, the track blends lighthearted breaks with explosive drops, bringing together Hardway’s best qualities for an effective and catchy house result. As fitting for the festival stage as it is for the club dancefloor, “Call Me Anytime” quickly gets into action with an infection vocal sample and rumbling basslines before the drop explodes into a massive sequence of synth stabs, plucks and warm chords. Listen to “Call Me Anytime” below. ...
Zeds Dead and Jauz Reunite Alongside Nicole Millar for Gloomy New Single “S.O.S”
Nearly three years after their first two collaborations found huge success, Zeds Dead and Jauz have joined forces once again alongside Australian songstress Nicole Millar for a new track, “S.O.S.” As haunting as it is beautiful, “S.O.S” embodies both artists’ signature sounds without missing a beat. The melancholic, bass-driven canvas is beautifully filled with Millar’s angelic voice. It’s a bona fide bass anthem that tugs on heartstrings while simultaneously rattling bones. “S.O.S” is the third collaboration between Zeds Dead and Jauz following 2017’s drum & bass smash “Lights Go Down” and 2019’s floor-filler, “Shake.” Zeds Dead released their highly anticipated collaboration with GRiZ, “Ec...

Hayden James Gives ODESZA’s “The Last Goodbye” a Stunning House Makeover
This week ODESZA surprised fans by dropping an official remix of “The Last Goodbye,” the titular track from the duo’s Grammy-nominated album of the same, produced by none other than Australian house music virtuoso Hayden James. James’ upbeat rework of the soulful track is a funky re-imagination that sublimely reflects the intention and theme of ODESZA’s original. While “The Last Goodbye” is a powerful electronic record sampling Bettye LaVette’s 1965 song “Let Me Down Easy,” James transforms it into a decidedly house track—and a dancefloor filler. The Australian dance music star used a quicker tempo in his energetic, four-on-the-floor beat, producing staccato synths and a subdued drop with pulsing bass. James shrewdly leans on LaV...
