Rezz has released “Gyrate,” a mind-melting collaboration with Quackson and EDM.com Class of 2022 star Wreckno. After teasing the track on social media for weeks, it’s finally here. And it’s arrived on Friday the 13th, a fitting day for the HypnoVision Records boss, whose music is chock full of spooky, experimental influences. With its gritty midtempo flair and filthy, half-time trap switch-up, “Gyrate” is sure to get any crowd moving. Following the launch of her new label back in October 2022, it seems Rezz is delivering on her promise to plug and support promising electronic music talent by way of HypnoVision. “As my touring schedule has become more specific, I have more time to focus on other projects I am passionate about,”...
Tasked with guiding my friend through his first EDM concert, I was confident Liquid Stranger would take good care of us. The Wakaan boss brought his DIMENSIONS tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, B.C. on November 26th for a night of head-banging, hip-swinging fun. I took a small survey of festival-goers at Thunderdome earlier this year and Liquid Stranger was overwhelmingly among the lineup’s favorites. That reputation was well-deserved. Already a fan of his music—songs like “Dissolve,” “Dragonhawks” and “Don’t Stop” serve as building blocks for some of my most cherished playlists—it was reassuring to see his live performance measure up. Stranger was also trusted to close out the final day of Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge’s Ch...
Everyone is welcome to a Wreckno show, so long as you are welcoming everyone. Enter a Wreckno concert and you will see posters reading, “This is a Safe Space, We do not tolerate: Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Ableism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Xenophobia, Body Shaming.” In other words: don’t be an asshole.” That is not a coincidence. It’s by design. Venues are required to put up these posters for Wreckno’s shows. “I would think of the things I didn’t see when I would go to many of the mostly straight men’s shows,” Wreckno tells EDM.com. “I spent a long time going from a teenager at Electric Forest to someone on the main stage curating a vibe, and then getting to headline shows. I was like, ‘How can we make it known to everybody ar...

It’s only natural that music festivals would hold music as a central priority, but at Northern Nights, it’s not quite so simple. That’s mostly because as many come to the Humboldt-Mendocino county-line-straddling event for cannabis as they do for music, so attention gets split between the productions onstage and the many varied cannabis offerings at the festival. 2022’s iteration was no exception either. In fact, last weekend the kaleidoscopic forest rave used the very same two-pronged approach to throw its most evolved and integrated event to date. By making more than a few major strides from past editions of the now-paradigmatic music fest, 2022 wasn’t just a triumphant post-pandemic return. For the ragtag band of dance music-loving misfits turned world-class event producers ...

Fresh off his momentous Electric Forest debut, EDM.com Class of 2022 star Wreckno has unveiled a new EP, The Fantasy. Just like Wreckno’s persona, The Fantasy is unpredictable and magnetic, exploring the deeper reaches of the Michigan producer and rapper’s distinct sound. It opens with the swaggy hip-house track “DELUSIONAL” before “Top Billin’,” which harkens back to his bass music roots to those bassy roots, via a rumbling collab with Kizer. The true highlight from The Fantasy comes in its final two songs, as Wreckno has tapped his brother 7UDO as well as their mother for assistance. “Strange Thoughts (Interlude)” beautifully brings listeners into the latter half of the EP with a gorgeous melod...
Does Wreckno have an “off” button? The magnetic Class of 2022 star has been on a rampage as of late, performing at a slew of major festivals and releasing new music at a dizzying pace.

Class of 2022 artist Wreckno has teamed up with “Like a G6” singer DEV and Super Future for “EVERYTHING,” a pulverizing track that arrives by way of Four Loko Records. “EVERYTHING” is defiant and genre-bending, interpolating deep bass, snappy percussion and swaggy flows. The music video takes place in an old industrial warehouse and features a classic DeLorean vehicle with the falcon wing doors. The outspoken Wreckno is certainly no stranger to otherworldly sounds and powerful messaging. In 2021, he released his debut EP PANSY, which came one year after his gargantuan collaboration with GRiZ, “Medusa.” That track, a breakthrough for Wreckno, served as a Pride Month anthem.

Wreckno knows how to start a party. Ahead of his highly anticipated appearance at BUKU Music + Art Project, the blossoming DJ, producer and rapper has teamed up with EDM.com for an exclusive playlist showcasing what ravers can expect in his landmark performance at the beloved New Orleans festival. Wreckno also unveiled a brand new single called “DUMP TRUCC,” a rowdy tune that sets the tone of his selections. Out now under Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats banner, “DUMP TRUCC” is thick and thumping. Wreckno’s down-and-dirty élan is stronger than ever in the new single, a come-hither banger created in collaboration with renowned bass music producer ZEKE BEATS. His wonky production is not to be slept on, highlighted by car horn samples and a drop that runs roughsh...
