Porter Robinson has unveiled a breathtaking visualizer video for “dullscythe,” a track from his critically acclaimed sophomore album Nurture. Robinson has harnessed the creativity of one of the most forward-thinking Nurture cuts and actualized it with a haunting audiovisual. Developed by Taiwanese visual artist Jie Liou, the trippy visualizer features glittery imagery from a digitized forest to match the glitchy, bitpop-inspired song. It’s safe to expect a variation of these visual elements at Robinson’s upcoming “Nurture Live” tour, which will kick off in September 2020 and hit over 30 cities. The Grammy-nominated electronic music virtuoso, who has long been championed for his immersive stage setups, recently shared a behind-the-scen...
Hot on the heels of their haunting “Taste of You” music video, REZZ and Dove Cameron have released a behind-the-scenes clip. Directed by Felicity Heath, the eerie audiovisual was unveiled in mid-June and became an instant hit with both artists’ avid fanbases. The new behind-the-scenes video offers an intimate look not only into the music video’s production, but also the chemistry between REZZ and Cameron. Shortly after the original video dropped, REZZ took to social media to open up about her experience filming with the pop star. “Im proud of the ‘taste of you’ music video,” REZZ tweeted at the time. “Kissing a girl on camera was intimidating but dove made it easy(!) I’ve come out of my shell a lot in the past couple years ...
Skrillex and the Prince of Reggaton, J Balvin, have finally unveiled their hotly anticipated collab “In Da Getto” alongside a rowdy music video. The new single, which was co-produced by Tainy, samples the melody of David Morales and the Bad Yard Club’s 1993 dance hit “In De Ghetto,” featuring Crystal Waters and Delta. While electronic music fans hoping to hear a classic Skrillex banger may be dismayed at the lack of bass here, there’s no doubt the Urbano-house hybrid is jam-packed with club energy. Directed by Alfred Marroquín, the neon-soaked video follows Skrillex and Balvin on a night of debauchery, drinking and dancing before ending up at a rowdy house party. The visual also features two superstars of the TikTok age: Khaby Lame, a Senegalese-Ital...
Skrillex, Starrah and Four Tet have unveiled the official music video for their collaborative hit “Butterflies.” The eerie video follows a group of friends as they gyrate through glittering city streets, tailed by ghostly figures. It’s a stark contrast to the video for “Too Bizarre” (with Swae Lee and Siiickbrain), which depicted a carefree, no-holds-barred basement punk party. “Butterflies” was Skrillex’s first official release since 2019. It effectively blew the lid off the hype surrounding his sophomore album, which fans have been clamoring for since he announced a wrap on production of a new body of work in March 2020. He’s remained tight-lipped ever since, however. Check out the official “Butterflies” music video b...
Renowned UK dance music duo Gorgon City have unveiled yet another track from their upcoming album. Out now via Astralwerks, “Dreams” came true for many eager fans who have been anticipating the release of this ID since it was first teased last spring during Defected Virtual Festival 4.0. Singles from the album have been rolling out over the past year. But it was not until two months ago that Gorgon City officially announced the impending arrival of their third album Olympia, while simultaneously offering up a wittily titled tune called “Tell Me It’s True.” “Dreams” marks the eighth single from Olympia, which is due out this Friday, June 25th. The record will feature an array of collaborations with artists such as ...
Combining his love for rock music with the sounds of house, Saint Punk has been delighting fans with his blend of grunge house. A little over a month ago, he dropped an intense single “Closer Tonight” with a dramatic, cinematic companion. Now, he’s switched gears and lightened things up with the release of “Comatose” alongside a fun music video. As with many of his releases, “Comatose” lays down a deep, bouncing bassline that will likely get listeners in motion. He then combines the tune’s sturdy base with some harsh synth and choppy vocals to create a unique hybrid product fans of his sound will feel right at home with. The video, on the other hand, is simple, but lighthearted as it features nothing more than Saint Punk showing off his ...
Now in the thick of a new sonic era, Louis The Child has teamed up with Goth Babe for an infectiously sunny single that blends surf rock, garage rock and electronica. Out June 18th, “Encinitas” sees the duo drift from the pop-infused themes of their debut album, Here For Now, and enter a chapter with roots in the big, bouncy energy of early 2010s dance music. Even more, it sees the artists listed as a featured contributor—a rarity in their career—speaking to the in-demand influence of their sound. Primed for a summer road trip on California’s Pacific Coast Highway, “Encinitas” moves seamlessly between bubbly synth lines, grungy interplays of bass and percussion, and Goth Babe’s dreamy vocals. It’s packed with personality, pulling at once...
In April, Martin Garrix and Maejor announced that they would be dropping a full album under their collaborative AREA21 alias. Since announcing the LP, we’ve received a taste of what’s to come with “La La La” and “POGO.” Today they’ve dropped the latest single from their forthcoming project, “Mona Lisa.” In a similar fashion to their previous two singles, “Mona Lisa” embraces a pop-leaning sound while incorporating various electronic elements. It’s reminiscent of a feel-good summer night, as a plucky electric bass is accompanied by upbeat percussion and Maejor’s signature vocals. “Mona Lisa” is the third single from AREA21’s forthcoming album, which currently has no title or relea...
Rising rapper, DJ, and electronic music producer Wreckno has arrived with a new music video for his recent single “Honey Drip,” and it’s the perfect hype single for the summer of 2021. Wreckno’s unapologetic artistry oozes with the flow and conviction reminiscent of the glam rappers of the early to mid-2000s. Where he sets himself apart, however, is through his skills in production, creating ferocious tunes that are equally wonky and trapped out. “Honey Drip” is a full sonic journey, The official music video—premiered by EDM.com today—showcases Wreckno as he takes a seat at his rightful throne. Swathed in yellow hues, he raps in fierce fashion before the video flips, revealing it to be a surprise two-for-one. Artw...
Following the release of their crossover hit “Taste of You,” REZZ and Dove Cameron have unveiled a spellbinding music video. Directed by Felicity Heath, the video features a vampiric Cameron, who sinks her teeth in with a sultry, blood-dripping saunter through neon smoke. Cameron, who likened the beguiling audiovisual project to “the kind of nights I dreamt about when I was a kid as to how my job would look,” eventually connects with REZZ and her signature hypnotic goggles before the two engage in a steamy, lip-biting kiss. In her recent cover story with Gay Times, Cameron opened up about her sexual identity. “I’ve hinted about my sexuality for years while being afraid to spell it out for everybody,” she said, recalling an Instagram Live sessio...
The song of the summer is poised to continue its domination after Calvin Harris and Tom Grennan dropped the official music video for “By Your Side.” “By Your Side” arrived just one week ago and immediately became entrenched as the song of summer 2021. Directed by Emil Nava, the kaleidoscopic music video is akin to pineapples and Malibu sunrises, a bubbly audiovisual project that ties in perfectly with the sun-kissed tune. A radiant Grennan shines here, dancing along with the mirthful buoyancy that originally inspired Harris to recruit him for the song’s topline. “The first thing is I liked [Grennan’s] voice a lot,” Harris told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 in a recent interview. “I started following him on Ins...
