Nora En Pure
Fresh Pressed Reintroduces Festivals to the Pacific Northwest
My eyes were fixated on the Tacoma skyline as I lay on the sharp, prickly grass below the only shaded structure in the venue. Gazing out into the horizon, a silhouette of high rises framed the lonesome stage that would be the focus of the evening. Grappled by my surroundings, I was unaware of the impromptu game of Duck, Duck, Goose that had attendees cheering for the winner as she slid down to the ground. Nor was I aware of the spontaneous crowd that rose from the field to partake in a yoga session. All throughout the venue, mini beehives of activity sprung up, all in high spirits, waiting for the reverberation of the speakers to pull them to the dancefloor. Over an hour later, the crowd cheered on as the music finally returned to Haub Family Field. Nora En Pure performing...

Nora En Pure Drops New Single to Raise Awareness for Ocean Conservation [Exclusive]
Ahead of World Oceans Day, renowned dance music producer Nora En Pure has premiered a breezy new single to raise awareness and urgency for the conservation of the planet’s oceans. The deep house virtuoso has always been known for incorporating organic elements into her hypnotic productions. Her distinct, serene sound has long been championed for its use of biomusic elements, such as wind and the rustling of leaves. Her new single “Aquatic” was concocted with the same intoxicating formula, kicking off with oceanic sounds like waves and the spellbinding calls of whales. En Pure goes on to deliver a riveting house number, which is set to release on streaming platforms tomorrow via her longtime label, Enormous Tunes. Take a listen below, exclusively via EDM.com.

Opposites Attract in Nora En Pure’s New “Thermal/Oblivion” EP: Listen
Nora En Pure has done it again with her new two-song EP “Thermal” / “Oblivion,” distilling the essence of the natural world into house music form. The result: an organic, glacial record that explores the beauty of the universe’s light and darkness through music. “Thermal” nudges you into the journey with light birdsong and other biomusic elements, which make way for a gentle piano solo before building into a steady beat. The keys are soon joined by soft violin strings, continuing to lead you through a scenic musical landscape that is equal parts majestic and tranquil. Slowly weaving together with the beat, the piano and strings coalesce into a soft crescendo that dissipates just as gently as it came. “Oblivion” begins just as softly as ...
Why International Women’s Day Is Important to Me: Aluna, TOKiMONSTA, More Speak Out
Since 1975, International Women’s Day has been designated as a global day of recognition for women, taking place annually on March 8th. It also coincides with the American Women’s History Month. But historically, the event dates back to the early 1900s, linked to early feminist and workers’ rights movements. From protest movements to a celebration of women’s suffrage, the date has become a focal point and rallying cry for gender equity worldwide. It’s no secret that we’ve still got a long way to go in ensuring equal opportunities, pay and platforms for women, along with non-binary individuals. This is especially true in the electronic music industry—a 2020 study from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found only 21.7% of artists in th...

EDM.com’s Best of 2020: Performances
This year, the team at EDM.com is proud to publish four installments of “Best of 2020” coverage: Industry Leaders, Performances, Music Producers, and Songs. With no venues to perform at in 2020, it seemed at times as if artists simply blindfolded their eyes, threw a dart at a map, and travelled to places to perform—locations that are usually pipe dreams. However, due to the dogged fury of COVID-19 and the surge of streaming, these pie-in-the-sky destinations became the new norm for DJs who wanted to connect with fans in the absence of tours. To honor their creativity and seminal influences on the live music industry, we’ve recognized ten of the year’s best performances in dance music. RÜFÜS DU SOL Live from Joshua Tree Filmed in late 2019 and released in ...

Nora En Pure Drops Spellbinding “Deta/Bartok” EP
Melodic deep house fans are set for a perfect weekend thanks to Nora En Pure, who has delivered her new EP Delta/Bartok.

Get Into the Summer Groove With June’s New Releases [Playlist]
Still stuck in quarantine for the foreseeable future, DJs and producers are using the free time to churn out new releases. Last month Armin van Buuren had not one, but three new releases. That includes his most recent melodic house track, “Hollow,” and two festival-ready big room tracks, “Boom Boom” and “Tarzan” with Blasterjaxx. After releasing his London Sessions album in May, Tiësto is still dropping new music too. This time he went with a more bouncy house sound in “Tomorrow.” Nora En Pure also has been busy making new songs while she’s stuck at home. According to a press release for her first release of the year, “All I Need,” fans can expect “a steady stream of new music over the rest of the year.”&nbs...
