Celebrating a decade of groundbreaking events, Brownies & Lemonade has released a specially curated megamix. B&L tells us they asked their “most important artists over the last decade” to create 10-minute mixes.

Beloved in the electronic dance music community for their curation of once-in-a-lifetime, creator-driven experiences—like Wonderland’s laundromat rave and Holo’s elevator pop-up—B&L soared to new heights this year. In order to meet the moment, B&L sought the help of Alison Wonderland, Louis The Child, GRiZ, Madeon, ISOxo, Jai Wolf, Wuki, What So Not, Wax Motif an...

Got any weekend plans? Because What So Not casually wants to DJ in your living room. The electronic music virtuoso, who has graced the towering stages of many of the world’s biggest festivals, has announced a contest for one fan to win a private DJ set. He’s essentially throwing a dart at a map and planning to perform at a random house party hosted by one lucky fan who pre-saves his upcoming album, Anomaly. “Wanna host the most infamous house party to ever hit your town?” What So Not asked in an Instagram post. “I’ll be going anywhere in the world (yes, anywhere) to DJ someone’s house party to celebrate my album coming out in exactly one month.” You can pre-save Anomaly here.

As What So Not‘s sophomore album continues to unfurl, he’s keeping fans on their toes. Emerging from the isolating nature of the pandemic, What So Not told EDM.com in late 2021 he was on the verge of releasing his “greatest work.” And after releasing the first singles from Anomaly, it’s clear that the Australian electronic music virtuoso hasn’t lost his edge. Following up on 2018’s stunning debut, Not All The Beautiful Things, What So Not kickstarted the album cycle for Anomaly with the attention-grabbing “Mr Regular,” a track featuring two big personalities in Oliver Tree and Killer Mike of Run The Jewels. With his latest single, “As One,” he lets the production speak more for itself as he formulates an effectiv...
What So Not‘s sophomore album cycle is officially underway, and he isn’t hesitating to continue bucking convention. The Australian DJ and producer announced the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Not All The Beautiful Things LP is due to arrive this September. Titled Anomaly, the album, What So Not says, was a product of his travels immediately prior to the isolating onset of the pandemic. The writing process caused him to consider what we owe to our communities, our environment, and each other. The album’s lead single, “Mr Regular,” recruits two standout voices in Oliver Tree and Run The Jewels’ Killer Mike. Overlaying an elastic trap lead and plodding drums, the two share mirroring sentiments reflecting upon how their non-l...

What So Not teased the arrival of the single earlier this week while noting that their forthcoming collaborative project will mark his first creative venture outside the scope of dance music. “I’ve started a new project,” What So Not wrote on Instagram. “For the first time in my career, I’m releasing something that is NOT dance music. It’s with a dear friend of mine, Daniel...

For What So Not, life was but a beautiful chaos before the world shut down in March 2020. For years, the Aussie had been touring his project for months at a time, playing hundreds of shows a year while attempting to write and release music on the road. But then, as countries shut their borders and people began to isolate, the renowned music producer—“High You Are” and “Gemini” fame—found himself quite literally locked down to one singular location. “It was a very big change, but it wasn’t an unwelcome change,” What So Not told EDM.com in an exclusive interview. “I was kind of deep down longing for that time.” He certainly made the most of it. Unlike those of us that baked bread and binge-watched Tiger King, What So Not spent his time on his craft, tinkeri...
