Capricorns: limitless in resilience, relentless against adversity and steep in emotional depth. TSHA taps into the heart, soul and spirit of her astrological sun sign on her debut album, Capricorn Sun, a swelling stunner out now via Ninja Tune. The 13-track LP is mountain-moving at its best, and consistent in the punch of its hooks. And while the power of TSHA’s free-flowing arrangements may take a moment to hit their stride, her work is of the breed that transforms on the dancefloor. Take the slow-building rapture of “Dancing in the Shadows” (with Clementine Douglas), for example. Ecstasy bubbles under the surface of orchestral chords and Douglas’ impassioned flows. It’s easy to imagine TSHA, who was named one of EDM.com‘s best music producers in ...

Giobbi, who was named Best Music Executive on EDM.com‘s “Best of 2021: Industry Leaders” list, also released a brand new track, a collaboration with DJ Tennis and Joseph Ashworth called “All In A Dream.” “All In A Dream” is emblematic of the “piano house” sound that has propelled her to international acclaim. “‘All in a Dream’ came together in such a fun and fluid way,” Giobbi explained in a press release. “I started working on the idea of the track with one of my favorite producers, Le Chev (Michael Cheever) and I was in Miami with SOFI TUKKER and they walked into the studio and heard the record a...

It’s official: ODESZA are back. After torturing fans via a series of cryptic posts and leaks last week, the duo have finally released “The Last Goodbye,” their first new original music since 2018. The soulful electronic tune samples 1965’s “Let Me Down Easy” by fabled Detroit R&B singer Bettye LaVette, who is credited as a featured artist. “This song was born out of the concept of trying to bring these lasting, defining musical pieces like the 1965 release of ‘Let Me Down Easy’ by Bettye LaVette into a modern and contemporary electronic setting,” Odesza explained. “The idea of bringing two worlds together, that at first seem distant, has always been something we’ve been drawn to. It was an absolute honor to be able to work with ...
When one thinks about cutting back on plastic usage, our minds don’t tend to go straight to our headphones. However, according to a recent report, it was found that a record 53.6 million metric tons of electronic waste were generated last year.

The TMA-2 Ninja Tune Edition uses recycled vinyl to create the shell, but they don’t stop there. The Bio-Cellulose S05 drivers are also sustainable and are made out of an organic compound that comes from certain types of bacteria. While that could raise questions on sound quality, the company maintains that though the material is bio-...
