Listen to Nora Van Elken’s Epic EP Inspired by “The Lord of the Rings”
Dutch DJ and producer Nora Van Elken has dropped Lord of the Rings, a new EP comprising three stellar reworks of iconic music from the eponymous franchise. In the midst of a prolific 2022 which saw Van Elken release over a dozen singles and two EPs, she managed to slip in this epic triptych of progressive house tracks two days before the year ended. The new EP will make any fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic series swoon. Van Elken leads with the project’s hypnotic opener, “Rohan,” named after the fictional kingdom of Men in Middle-earth. Here, she produces haunting synths in a deep and cinematic house track. She then takes a cheekier approach in “Concerning Hobbits,” infusing violin patterns in an upbeat orchestral composition. “The Three Hunters̶...
Tiësto Drops New Hypnotic House Track, “Lay Low”
Tiësto has dropped his first new single of 2023, a hypnotizing house track called “Lay Low.” Brimming with sultry deep house undertones and spacey choral vocals, “Lay Low” sets the tone for what should be another big year for the Dutch dance music icon, who is currently gearing up for the release of his seventh studio album. Tiësto’s new single is the latest of a string of high-profile collabs blurring the lines of pop and house music, including “10:35” (with Tate McRae) and the anthemic “Hot In It” (with Charli XCX). Both are confirmed to appear on his forthcoming album, Drive. Tiësto recently said that Drive will take on a “completely new direction” as he embraces more house music production. The album, which is ...
Skrillex and Fred again.. Drop Long-Awaited Collaboration, “Rumble”
The dearth of new Skrillex music has come to an end with the long-awaited release of “Rumble.” It’s been a development long in the works. Since as early as summer 2021, “Rumble” has been experienced solely via bootleg rips and disparate snippets from iPhone camera rolls. It’s hardly an exaggeration to say the track has been the most sought-after ID of the last year. But the wait is now over. With “Rumble” having officially hit streaming platforms today, electronic music fans from all walks of life have something to celebrate. Skrillex and Fred again.. have released their long-awaited collaboration, “Rumble,” alongside Flowdan. Instagram/Fred again.. The track, a collaboration with producer-of-the-moment Fred again.., appropriately...
“I Thought I Ruined the Song”: Skrillex Opens Up About the Production of “Rumble”
Skrillex, Fred again.. and Flowdan have been ready to “Rumble” for years. After releasing their long-awaited collab, the trio opened up about its origins in a BBC Radio 1 interview. And if we take away anything from their discussion, it’s that every song has its own story. According to Fred, he created the original “Rumble” demo with Flowdan—sans Skrillex—roughly five years ago. He says the first time he ever met Skrillex, he played the track for the dubstep icon, who “always remembered it” and eventually asked for its stems. But the stunning and inventive song we’re hearing today didn’t sit right with Skrillex, who says he believed he’d “ruined” the record with his contributions. “I did something and I...
Listen to deadmau5 and YTCracker’s Hacktivist Anthem, “Antisec”
deadmau5 has joined forces with YTCracker for “Antisec,” a gritty hip-hop and electronic hybrid out now via the former’s mau5trap label. YTCracker is a popular nerdcore rapper and former hacktivist (a portmanteau of “hack” and “activist”) with ties to the notorious hacker group Anonymous. The new track’s title derives from the AntiSec Movement, a cyberspace group opposed to the computer security industry. At the track’s onset, YTCracker kicks the door down and marks his territory: “I’m the de facto leader of a movement / Screaming ‘hack the planet’ back in ’99 / hacktivism in its prime.” From there, his brazen bars run roughshod through a canvas of deadmau5’s heavy-hitting bass and spacey arpegg...
Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso Revive Rave-Inspired Side Project, Buy Now
At the turn of the new year, Buy Now squeaked in the release of their first songs since 2008. The return of the collaborative duo, consisting of Swedish House Mafia‘s Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, is a developing story to keep on the radar for 2023. After appearing on Salvatore Ganacci’s Culturally Appropriate album cut, “Let You Do This” a couple months prior, the tandem are making their return official with the release of two new singles, “Church” and “Speak Up.” Buy Now recently recorded at The Church Studios in London and were evidently feeling ample inspiration from their environment. The Church has become a spiritual home to world-class musicians throughout the decades, including Adele, U2 and Lana Del Rey, among many othe...
Miley Cyrus Announces New Single ‘Flowers’ During ‘Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party’
Halfway through the second annual Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party — which Cyrus co-hosted this year with Dolly Parton and aired live on NBC — the superstar announced her new single “Flowers.” The song will arrive on Jan. 13. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The announcement came on the heels of posters plastered across various cities that read: New Year New Miley.

Cyrus not only celebrated NYE but also her upcoming “new Miley” era with a han...
SLANDER, Alison Wonderland and Said The Sky Share the Last Word In Massive Collab, “Picture”
SLANDER, Alison Wonderland, and Said The Sky couldn’t let 2022 close without having the last word. The trifecta of show-stopping artists arguably saved their best for last with their brand new collaboration, “Picture.” And it’s the blow-the-doors-off type of track we could have only dreamt of. Each tastemakers in their own right, the trio meet in the middle of their stylistic crossroads, yielding a densely melodic anthem with a strong future bass flair. Perhaps less surprising is the notion that “Picture” plays straight into their strengths, specifically in the rigorous building and diffusion of tension. From dainty chords and distant, celestial soundscapes to voluminous synths dripping in reverb, “Picture” rides the wave of melancholic ...
Rich DietZ Realign Their Energy On Heavy-Hitting Club Track, “Chakras”
Rich DietZ are embracing the new year ahead with their familiar, heady house rhythms. The duo is bringing the satisfying bounce of their signature basslines to “Chakras,” an energizing, dancefloor-ready track with catchy, tongue-in-cheek vocals. Over the course of 2022, the red-hot duo have notched a year of earworm singles such as “LIT” and “Free Ur Mind,” among other house bangers. With pitched down, lounge-style vocals, they continue to bring an even more elevated energy to “Chakras”—and we’re sure this isn’t just the crystals talking. On the production side, Rich DietZ have consistently had a penchant for bass-driven tech house music. On “Chakras,” a supercharged percussion section with marching snares and pumping ...
Listen to CloudNone’s Effervescent Single, “Faster Now”
Teeming with heavenly sound design and glossy textures, CloudNone‘s new single caps off a big year for the masked electronic music producer. “Faster Now” finds CloudNone collaborating with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Van. The song is out now via Seeking Blue, the record label from longtime YouTube tastemaker MrSuicideSheep and home to a colossal roster of artists, among them Dabin and WE ARE FURY. In “Faster Now,” CloudNone channels a nostalgic energy and reinforces it by imbuing the arrangement with melancholic production. He beautifully sets the tone in the verse with feathery chords and subtle percussion while Van’s emotive, effervescent topline floats above. The track’s drops eventually explode through a warm saws and a cent...
Yellow Claw Take On Knock2’s House Hit “dashstar*” With Explosive Trap Edit
Knock2‘s breakthrough house hit “dashstar*” has received the trap treatment from none other than Yellow Claw. The bass-heavy track was a big part of Knock2’s meteoric rise in 2022, a year that saw him catapult to dance music stardom and perform at a slew of headline shows and major festivals, including his colossal debut at EDC Las Vegas. Now that the influential trap music duo Yellow Claw have put their twist on “dashstar*,” the track has gained even more steam heading into 2023, which has the feel of a monster year for the San Diego-based prodigy. In classic Claw fashion, they embellish “dashstar*” with heavy 808s right from the start before flipping the song’s distinct lead sounds into a frenetic sequence of distorted synths and eerie pluc...
