Before he became a mau5trap mainstay with his No Mana project, Jordan Orcaz released experimental bass tracks as isqa. In the early days of her career, a young Rezz developed a friendship with him and the duo went on to work hand-in-hand, encouraging each other to evolve their sounds. A few years after crossing paths, they worked together to release their collaborative track “Psycho” in 2017. Now, isqa has returned with a new EP, i 4ove you, the first release on Rezz’s HypnoVizion Records from someone other than its founder. The project kicks off with “mycelium faceplant,” a collaboration with fknsyd wherein the duo balance haunting vocals with distorted bass in an arrangement with tinctures of melancholy. The ensuing “flusterfuck” brings fort...
Fans of Liquid Stranger have something exciting to look forward to in 2023. The Wakaan label boss has revealed a brand new EP, Unity. The project is slated to release next year on the imprint’s SSKWAN offshoot, which specializes in downtempo electronic music. To build the hype surrounding the EP’s release, Stranger today dropped its lead single, “Smoke N Hope.” Wakaan diehards are sure to be mesmerized by this dreamy record, which weaves ragga-inspired vocals by J Lauryn with wonky drums and pulsing bass. After kicking off with a hypnotic acoustic guitar riff, the track whispers and winds before an enthralling chorus takes hold—and refuses to let go. In the wake of Stranger’s mind-bending B A L A N C E album and Dimensions EP, there’s no doubt t...
100 gecs gave fans a double dose of excitement with the surprise release of a three-track EP and new album announcement. Over the weekend, the surging hyperpop duo dropped a three-track EP, Snake Eyes, seemingly out of nowhere. While any new music is exciting for fans, they received an extra bonus when the tracklist was revealed to include a collaboration with Skrillex. The first track, “Hey Big Man,” channels Beastie Boys for a chaotic tune that will surely perk up their already high-energy live shows. The second track, “Torture Me,” features Skrillex, which shouldn’t be too surprising since 50 of the 100 gecs, Dylan Brady, joined him (along with Noisia and josh pan) on last year’s “Supersonic (My Existence).” Together, Skrillex and 100...
Don’t be fooled by Blossom‘s endearing dimples, pink hair and chic outfits. Underneath all the cute lies a force to be reckoned with. The surging DJ and house music producer has released “On My Own,” the first single off a forthcoming EP. Out now on her very own Pink Planet imprint, the dark and wistful tune puts dreamy vocals and gritty synths at the forefront, complemented by a pumping bassline and spacey, atmospheric sound design. In the contemplative track, Blossom ruminates about the loneliness that comes after heartbreak. “‘On My Own’ is an ode to the people I once loved and lost, and an exploration into who I must become in order to transition into who I’m destined to be,” she explained in a statement.

Legendary DJ and producer Benny Benassi knows exactly what it takes to make a smash dance hit.

Now, Benassi has teamed up with British singer-songwriter Bryn Christopher for a must-listen track, “One More Night,” transporting fans to the idyllic beaches of the White Isle. Sultry sound design, anthemic melodies and Christopher’s stentorian vocals radiate in the new track, which doubles as an ode to Ibiza. “One More Night” is a beautiful display of Benassi’s sound, highlighted by deep brass stabs and soothing pads. “When I received the idea of this record I immediately thought a...

RL Grime and Nero are tying a bow on 2022 in a big way after teaming up for a monster collaboration, “Renegade.” The two influential electronic music acts today dropped the new single, which arrived by way of Grime’s Sable Valley imprint.

It also pours gasoline on the momentous return of Nero, who recently joined forces onstage together as a complete band for the...
Nostalgia hits different with Nicky Romero and DubVision. Their new track, a collab with Philip Strand called “Stay A Little Longer,” is a blast from the past—a progressive house boomerang returning for another go ’round.
