As one of the more popular trance acts on the revered Anjunabeats label, Ilan Bluestone has consistently managed to stay at the forefront of progressive and trance music for nearly a decade. His 2018 debut album Scarsencapsulated the high-energy sounds Bluestone produced alongside soulful and emotional poetic writing. Three years later, Bluestone is aiming to recreate that success with his follow-up album, Impulse. Set to arrive in May 2021, Impulse will find Bluestone at his most personal. “This album is an 18 track voyage through my impulsive thought process of production & sound design, feelings and emotions that guided me to create it,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I grew up producing music on ‘Impulse Tracker’; software which was beyond my comprehension at the...
UK drum & bass sensation Dimension has been dominating the genre for years now. With wildly popular releases like “Desire” with Sub Focus, “UK,” and “Don’t Sleep” with Culture Shock, Dimension has become one of the foremost producers and performers in drum & bass. Now, his long-anticipated debut album, Organ, has finally been released. Organ features a whopping 17 tracks, nine of which have been previously released as singles. Previously unheard tracks include “Psycho,” a hip-hop infused belter with a halftime drum beat and a West-coast whistle inspired synth line. “Domino” takes a more midtempo approach with a gritty, nearly industrial bassline and crooning vocals. The eerie “Altar” featur...
After releasing her debut solo lead single “How It Goes” late last year, Starrah is prepping for another new chapter with the release of her debut album. Due out this month, The Longest Interlude will feature an impressive list of collaborators. Taking her announcement to Instagram, the songstress tagged Nile Rodgers, James Blake, and Skrillex, among other renowned artists. The announcement of Skrillex in particular has piqued the attention of many in the electronic music community, as there are at least two unreleased IDs that we know of between the two artists. The first is “Twenty4,” a track Skrillex first played in 2018. The consensus is that—due to stylistic reasons—the dance-pop track is most likely the one to be included on Starrah’s fo...
KRANE‘s time in the music industry has included a number of impressive and arguably seminal releases, like his stellar 2017 album Fallout. His classic SESSIONS collections are equally as exciting, allowing him to collaborate with unheralded artists and grant them much-deserved time in the limelight. Today, KRANE has delivered his sophomore album, Getting Better via Dim Mak. Getting Better is sonically different from KRANE’s previous works, tackling a relaxed, indie-infused sound that most fans may not find familiar. Each of its seven tracks tells a unique tale, with collaborations with the likes of Panama and Cece Valor adding an extra layer of emotion. KRANE’s message feels fully transparent, creating a deep, personal feeling on the album. Though each tune on G...

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Some of the best art to emerge from Black artists has been under periods of duress and pressure, and a new release from Salaam Remi adds to that tradition. The celebrated producer has released a new body of work, Black On Purpose, featuring some of the best talents across Hip-Hop, R&B, and beyond. Black On Purpose could very well be seen as an extension of the Black Power era of musical releases that reflected the times, harkening back to artists like Marvin Gaye, and James Brown who used their music to convey the feelings and frustrations of the people. Under Remi’s capable guidance, Black On Purpose achieves this goal several times over in one of 2020’s best releases to date. “We couldn’t gather in the way we were used to when we needed each other most, R...
Minutes before they took the stage at Saturday Night Live, Foo Fighters confirmed the release of their next studio album. It’s called Medicine at Midnight and will be released on February 5th, 2021. As a preview, they’ve let loose the first single, “Shame Shame”, which you can stream below. Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, engineered by Darrell Thorp, and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, Medicine at Midnight spans nine songs spanning 37 minutes. As Dave Grohl detailed in an interview earlier this year, the new album is “filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs. It’s kind of like a dance record, but not an EDM, disco, modern dance record. It’s got groove. To me, it’s our David Bowie’s Let’s Dance record. That’s what we wanted to make, we wan...
Daniel Lopatin has returned with the latest album as Oneohtrix Point Never, an expansive 17-track collection called Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. Stream the full thing below via Apple Music and Spotify. Magic Oneohtrix Point Never gets its name from the same place that Lopatin got the 0PN moniker itself: the radio station Magic 106.7 that aired in his Boston area home. As such, the album plays out much like a radio station’s dayparts, clicking on for the morning drive-time music, and closing with the late night jams. The record is broken up four different suites, each split by a “Cross Talk” section. Prior to the album’s full release, 0PN shared the “Drive Time Suite” (“Cross Talk I”, “Auto & Allo”, and “Long Road Home” featuring Caroline Polachek) and the five-track “Midday S...
Five years after the release of their last album, Money Shot, Puscifer are back with their fourth LP, Existential Reckoning. As with the band’s previous releases, the album comes with an abundance of intrigue and mystique. Puscifer — featuring core members of Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round — have crafted a 12-song album that is both experimental and cinematic in quality. The songs range from the dance-y “Apocalyptical” to the angry “Fake Affront”. The album also continues the story of the fictional characters Billy D and his wife, Hilda Berger, who’ve been portrayed by Keenan and Laura Milligan, respectively, in promotion of the band’s previous LPs. Along with the announcement of Existential Reckoning came a classified document that reported on an alien abducti...
In the midst of a pandemic and a truly bizarre year, it somehow feels like an ideal time for Puscifer to release a new album. The experimental rock act is back with a new LP, Existential Reckoning, and it’s a fitting document of the times, even if that wasn’t intentional. Led by a core of Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, Puscifer have often thrown out the rulebook when it comes to rock ‘n’ roll. Each album is surrounded by eccentric characters, while the music is equally unconventional. Existential Reckoning is no exception, picking up on the story of the fictional characters Billy D (apparently now abducted by aliens) and his wife, Hildy Berger, as it had left off with 2015’s Money Shot. The new album is shrouded in a cloud of alien activity, from its init...
