Hardwell‘s historic return to Tomorrowland has come and gone, but its legacy is only just beginning. His performance was nothing short of breathtaking, an electrifying display of his new musical direction after a four-year hiatus from the electronic dance music festival scene. Tomorrowland was coincidentally the last major fest Hardwell performed at prior to his shocking retirement in 2018. But it was one track that has the Hardwell hive mind buzzing with anticipation as the Dutch icon gears up for his long-awaited comeback album, REBELS NEVER DIE. Towards the end of his set, he dropped an unreleased song, tentatively titled “Revolution,” that has all the intoxicating qualities of a classic Hardwell anthem.

Someone grab a fire extinguisher because DJ Snake‘s summer of madness may just be heating up. In the wake of his career-defining performance at the famed Parc des Prince stadium, the chart-topping Parisian producer took to Twitter to tease his latest creation, an incendiary house music track with stadium-filling energy. While the teaser itself is brief, early signs show Snake is diving back down the house rabbit hole where he’s been known to hang out with long-time tour accomplice Malaa. Snake was feeling the moment while setting the crowd in motion amid a massive European leg of shows. Incidentally, Snake’s teaser isn’t the only evidence he’s been hard at work in the studio. Crankdat recently revealed that during Snake’s aforementioned Parc des Prince p...
For those keeping track, it’s time to tally another massive Skrillex collaboration in the superstar producer’s wide-ranging trove of unreleased music. A brief teaser clip originally posted on Fred again..‘s Instagram, which has since shored up on Reddit, features the two artists cooking up a spicy new trap tune featuring a bulbous bass in the build that quickly descends into a scuttling 16th-note synth lead. While there’s no word on a release date, it’s in the very least encouraging to see Skrillex in seemingly good spirits after a last-minute withdrawal from two recent major festivals on his calendar: Tampa’s Sunset Music Festival and Detroit’s Movement. He attributed the cancellation to a need to spend more time in the studio to finish fort...

With help from Rusko, Yheti and more, one of the bass music scene’s most beloved producers delivered a devastating blow to the scarlet-colored rocks of Morrison, Colorado over the weekend. While fans were treated to remarkable performances all night long, one particular moment has been talked about nonstop: when Subtronics dropped an unreleased collaboration with Zeds Dead. Wobbly from the moment it begins, the track, tentatively titled “Zedstronics,” features superhero-inspired vocals that call out, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Zedstronics.” It’s no...
Between his early masterpieces like Hunky Dory and his 26th and final album Blackstar, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that David Bowie made plenty of music that fell through the cracks or never saw a proper release. But Ziggy Stardust devotees will be happy to know that Toy, Bowie’s elusive 2001 album, has finally received its proper commercial release today. Toy arrives as part of an archival box set titled Brilliant Adventure (1992 – 2001). Bowie recorded it in 2001, in the aftermath of his 2000 Glastonbury performance. His intent with Toy was to reimagine some of his earlier recordings with a full band and then surprise-release the record, but when his label EMI/Virgin squashed those plans, Bowie signed to Columbia, ditched Toy altogether, a...

The debut GRiZ and Zeds Dead back-to-back set was fireworks from the very start. Taking the stage at Goldrush Music Festival in Arizona over the weekend, the trio of artists lit the match with an incendiary new collaboration. Fans had hardly gotten the chance to get their feet planted when they were prompted with a question from the stage. Immediately preceding the drop an inquisitive audio sample can be heard, “What is something people are not ready to hear?” Amusingly, a robot-like vocal responds, “GRiZ and Zeds Dead,” as a flood of lasers descended upon the audience to the sounds of unearthly, distorted basslines and soaring falsettos.
