Celebrate a Decade of Brownies & Lemonade With Their Massive “10 for 10” Megamix
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. The brand then integrated each to produce “10 for 10,” a massive mix spanning over 100 tracks that defined the last decade for EDM.com’s Best Event Organizer of 2022. 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.

Watch Wuki’s Touching Tribute to His Late Mother in “Tell The World About Me” Music Video [Premiere]
Last month, Grammy-nominated dance music producer Wuki released his stunning debut album WukiWorld, a record that moonlighted as a poignant reflection of his life’s diegesis. With impressive original works and features from a bevy of high-profile collaborators, the album received critical acclaim not only for its production, but also for its storytelling. Part of that story, unfortunately, was the tragic loss of his mother, whom he paid tribute to in the album’s closing track, “Tell The World About Me” with Sebastian Reynoso. Now, Wuki has released a touching music video for the ballad, sharing a glimpse into his life and experiences with his late mother. The music video for “Tell The World About Me” tastefully shares beautiful memories in...
Wuki’s Debut Album is “Part Rave, Part Circus, Part Amusement Park, and Part Art Installation”
Just one year ago, Wuki was prepping for the 2020 Grammy Awards, for which his flip of Miley Cyrus‘ “Mother’s Daughter” earned a nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. The most pressing matter on his mind was picking out a suit. “I’m living it up right now,” he told EDM.com last January. That reality now feels miles away, but the pandemic hasn’t kept Wuki from staying sharp in the studio. March 12th saw the official release of his debut album, WukiWorld, via HARD Recs. In fact, the pre-pandemic vision for the release was built around an IRL WukiWorld, which Wuki described as “part rave, part circus, part amusement park, and part art installation,” to EDM.com. “Upon entering, you would be ...
EDM Tracks for Your 2020 Christmas Playlists
Christmas is today, and what better way to get in the spirit than by blasting holiday music?

Wuki Taps Shaq for Blistering Trap and Hip-Hop Hybrid “SHUTUP”
Shaquille O’Neal has once again dunked on the bass music scene with an assist from Wuki and Scrilla King. The evolution of DJ Diesel just took another giant leap forward in the form of “SHUTUP,” a blistering trap collaboration with Wuki. Shaq, who told us that bass music “will continue to run through [his] veins” last month, has stayed true to his word with the release of “SHUTUP.” The single, which features bars from rising rapper Scrilla King, blends elements of trap and dubstep with hip-hop for a festival-ready bass bomb. Between its three thunderous drops, Wuki and Shaq flex their sound design muscles with thick 808s, wobbly bass patches, and frenetic synths that run roughshod through the arrangement. Check out the massive collaboration, w...

Out today via HARD Recs, the track is just as ridiculous as it sounds and stays true to Wuki and Diplo’s fun, energy-based rhythms.
