Ookay, Elohim and Flux Pavilion‘s “Be OK” Is the Dance-Pop Track of the Summer
From the toe-tapping saxophone melody of “Not Again” to the pop-infused flavor of “Weekends,” Ookay has found himself in the thick of his forthcoming sophomore album’s release cycle. Now he’s back again with “Be OK,” a dream team collaboration with Elohim and Flux Pavilion. And while some may call three a crowd, this killer combination is anything but. Released July 16th, “Be OK” is the best of three worlds. It seamlessly pulls together Ookay’s happy-go-lucky groove, Elohim’s honest songwriting and Flux Pavilion’s bouncy bass breaks for a dance-pop banger bound for sunny summer days. Conceptualized during a 2019 session between Ookay and Flux Pavilion, the optimism of “Be OK” dates ba...

Here are the Best “Cold Bernie” Memes Shared by EDM Artists
The first month of 2021 hasn’t even come to a close yet, so obviously a photo of Bernie Sanders in fuzzy mittens has erupted as a viral meme. Because, well, 2021. An image of a bundled up Sanders seated at Joe Biden’s inauguration—snapped by photographer Brendan Smialowski for Getty Images—is making a barnstorming trip across social media as the epicenter of a hilarious meme trend. People have been ripping the image of the chilly Vermont senator and superimposing it into their own photos, planting him in a variety of places, like the classic “you can’t sit with us” Mean Girls scene. A slew of EDM artists took a crack at their own version of the “Cold Bernie” meme, including DJ Snake, Alesso, and NERVO, among many others. Check o...

Saint Punk Flips Ookay and Cesqeaux’s “The Pit” Into a Grunge House Banger
Grunge house innovator Saint Punk has been steadily cultivating his craft as of late. With releases such as “Light ‘Em Up” and his Brohug collaboration “Brake,” the rock band frontman-turned producer has made waves among the bass house community. Now, he has made his debut on Ookay‘s The Woodwerk imprint with a fresh take on the label boss’ collaboration with Cesqeaux, “The Pit.” Who says you can’t mosh to house music? Saint Punk retains the raw energy of the original dubstep production while adding a shuffling jackin’ house groove. Grinding bass, trap horns, and a screeching, sliding synth lead complete the package to make Saint Punk’s remix of “The Pit” a bona fide dancefloor weapon. The remix is the...

NGHTMRE, Louis The Child, Dyro, More Share Their Most Precious Memories of Their Dads [Exclusive]
EDM.com wishes a Happy Father’s Day not only to all the dads out there, but also the moms who took on both roles for their kids. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day! I flew him out for the weekend and had him hop on stage as a special guest for 1 song. Without thinking much about it I called him “Papa NGHTMRE” over the mic and he has since adopted the nickname. As we walked around the festival after, fans came up to ask for pictures with him! It was a great memory for both of us.” c...
