Longtime fans of Adventure Club will find solace in their new song, a vintage remix that speaks to their storied past. The prolific duo, whose ageless dubstep remixes helped propel them to electronic music stardom in the early 2010s, recently took on Łaszewo’s “Fuck Your Sunshine.” And in doing so, they turned back the clock to those days, when they ushered in a melodic dubstep era that remains a lynchpin of the EDM space to this day. There’s no question that the tandem, who dropped their scintillating sophomore album earlier in 2022, are at their best when it comes to vocal-driven dance music. Their new remix functions as a nostalgia machine, featuring the rapturous vocal chops and euphoric bass of a signature Adventure Club anthem of yesteryear. Tak...
Nicki Minaj released “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix),” a collaboration-fueled new cut, in the early hours of Friday (Sept. 9). Minaj teased the track Thursday, but didn’t give away her co-stars. It’s a long lineup, including JT & BIA, featuring Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V and Malibu Mitch. “Ayo, this the Queen Mix right here. Miami, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, New York … stand the f— up!” the star announces on the updated version of her first solo No. 1 hit before the sample of Rick James’ ’80s classic “Super Freak” kicks in and she begins to rap, “I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin’ and slidin’/ I can do all them little tricks and keep the dick up inside it/ You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it/ And every time he leave me ‘lone, he always tell me he mis...
This September, Krautrock pioneers NEU! are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their self-titled debut album with the NEU! 50! box set, which includes a tribute album comprising covers and remixes by an impressive list of artist. One of those names is The National, who have today shared their remix of NEU!’s “Im Glück.” The original version of “Im Glück” appeared on NEU! in 1972, and it’s a nearly-seven-minute drone track that doesn’t share much in common with The National’s typical indie rock. It’s pretty structureless with no rhythm section, almost acting like an intermission on the album. With The National’s touch, however, it becomes a bit of a dance number; the band add a shuffling house beat and layer it with more instrumentals, turning it into a much more active, melodic ...
Adventure Club are enticing fans with a new version of an old adventure. The duo, whose timeless dubstep remixes helped catapult them to the upper echelon of EDM in the early 2010s, recently took to Twitter to tease an “old school” remix in the works. “what would you do if we told you that we’ve got an old school AC remix brewing?” Adventure Club wrote. Adventure Club did not share which track they’ve remixed or when fans can expect a release. But after a fan asked for more information, they responded and said the upcoming song harkens back to their fan-favorite remixes of Metric’s “Collect Call” and Foxes’ “Youth,” which released in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

There’s nothing corny about Tariq, the kid who has captured the hearts of millions after going viral for his love of corn. While EDM Twitter once again descended into a digital hellscape over the weekend, something much more wholesome was happening over on TikTok. It was the “Corn Kid” video, wherein Tariq can’t help but hide his excitement for the “big lump with knobs.” “Ever since I was told corn is real, it tasted good,” Tariq says in the viral video, which has been viewed over 53 million times on TikTok at the time of writing. “When I tried it with butter, everything changed.” DJ and dance music producer Kaivon decided to remix the music from the video and turn it into an electronic track that could cause utter corn-age a...
Britney Spears and Sir Elton John’s highly anticipated collaborative single “Hold Me Closer” has arrived. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. The refreshed take on John’s 1971 staple “Tiny Dancer” proves to be just as nimble with Spears adding some new flourishes to the duet. The song was recorded by the pair together in a Beverly Hills studio in mid-July along with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt. “Hold Me Closer” stands as Spears’ first music release since her conservatorship was terminated in November 2021. The pop icon officially confirmed the track on August 13th and expressed her excitement about its debut in a now-deleted Instagram post, saying: “I appreciate this and all of your support it means so much to me !!! I can’t wait for you all to hear what we’ve been wo...
The OG Queen of Pop has officially given her blessing to Queen Bey. Madonna and Beyoncé have teamed up for the aptly titled, “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).” As the first single from Renaissance, “Break My Soul” introduced us to Beyoncé’s new disco-influenced, club-ready era. It makes total sense, then, that the “Queens Remix” would center on a sample of “Vogue,” Madonna’s 1990 classic that helped introduce Ballroom culture to a greater audience. It doesn’t appear that Madonna offered any new vocals to “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” but rather gave Beyoncé permission to use “Vogue”‘s famous piano riff (which is important, given recent discourse surrounding Beyoncé’s failure to secure permission before sampling songs). Of course, Beyoncé wouldn’t just sample “Vogue” withou...
Get ready to strike a pose and vogue, because Beyoncé and Madonna have come together as one for “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).” Queen Bey enlisted the Queen of Pop for the new edition of “Break My Soul” after she recently dropped four remixes of the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 smash by will.i.am, Terry Hunter, Honey Dijon and Nita Aviance. But for this remix, Bey pays homage to iconic Black women in music while taking a page out of Madonna’s playbook by reciting the names in the style of Madge’s spoken-word section from her 1990 three-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Vogue.” The disco-tinged house track — which also topped the Dance Club Songs tally — name-checks famous “Golden Age” actors from Marlon Brando to James Dean to Grace Kelly to Bette Davis. But when Bey takes over the ...
Beyoncé surprised fans again on Wednesday (Aug. 3) when she dropped a 4-song “Break My Soul” remix EP featuring refreshed versions of her Renaissance single by Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, Chicago house legend Terry Hunter, global scene queen Honey Dijon and New York producer/DJ Nita Aviance.
