After releasing her newest track alongside Alesso, pop superstar Katy Perry has even more plans in the dance music space in 2022. A source told The Sun‘s “Bizarre” column that Perry has a lot coming down the pipeline for this year, and she is “determined to make 2022 her year.” This includes a fiery collaboration with leading electronic music producer Zedd, but it won’t be their first. They previously teamed up on “365,” which was released on Valentine’s Day in 2019. In December 2021, Perry kicked off her Las Vegas residency at the Resorts World Theatre and has nearly sold out. The show has allowed her to become more “artistic” and spend time with her family. Recommended Articles “Her current Las Vegas residence h...
For a budding musician, what could be more serendipitous than a Grammy Award right at the start of their career? That is the position singer-songwriter Foxes found herself in back in 2014, when her work on Zedd‘s “Clarity” nabbed the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Nearly 10 years after its 2012 release, the generational anthem still manages to make crowds go gaga. “I was like, ‘Oh, wait a minute. I’ve just been writing in a bedroom, and I’m suddenly in LA holding a Grammy! I don’t really know how to deal with this!’” reflected the Brit in a recent interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “I don’t really think I was a pop act,” she remembered. “The major label I was with put me in a box…I was trying to ...

Imagine going from the opening slot at Exchange L.A.—performing to a near-empty venue—to headlining and selling out the following year. For 26-year-old DJ and dance music producer ACRAZE, this was reality. Before becoming the red-hot “Do It To It” artist we all know and love, his music production journey started on a much different path. In an exclusive interview with EDM.com, ACRAZE admits that growing up, he “was not very musically inclined.” But his interest was piqued during his senior year of high school, when he knew he wanted to become a DJ. ACRAZE then went on to release his first original production, “Pull Up,” in 2017 via 4B‘s MACA imprint. It’s now a far cry from what fans have come to know and expect ...

A long-awaited collaboration between Martin Garrix and Zedd may finally be on the horizon. The two dance music superstars have been toying with their fans on social media in the last few days, sharing a number of agonizingly contextless clips recorded during recent studio sessions. In an Instagram Story shared on November 2nd Garrix offered a brief glimpse into the song’s project file, which revealed a BPM of 128. Ergo, a house track is likely in the works. They went on to share another clip yesterday, revealing a preview of the song’s audio—if you can even call it a preview. Watch here: Recommended Articles Speculation first began back in December 2019, when Garrix and Zedd were in Indonesia.

Close your eyes and picture it: you step onto the grassy, sun-kissed lawn of a Malibu winery. You lay down a colorful picnic blanket. You pour flamingo-pink rosé into delicate champagne flutes and sip with your pinky in the air. None of that happened last month at the famous Rosenthal Wine Bar and Patio, which was transformed into a taco spice-fueled rave. Tucked in a nook off the Pacific Coast Highway, the idyllic winery recently welcomed electronic music stars Zedd and Big Wild, who performed on a bespoke stage with a transparent LED panel offering a view of the ocean. Powered and brought to life by First Tube Media, the event was the latest in Grubhub’s Sound Bites, a virtual episodic concert series that attracts millions of viewers thanks to its immersive livestreams.

If you’ve been online lately, odds are your timeline has been filled with nothing but EDC Las Vegas and Squid Game. Over the weekend, Zedd managed to merge the two in one of the most viral moments of the music festival. During his Sunday night performance on the cosmicMeadow stage, the Grammy-winning Clarity producer dropped an unexpected mashup, blending the now-iconic theme song from Netflix’s runaway hit show with ACRAZE‘s breakout house anthem “Do It To It.” The distinct, ominous keys from the theme of the record-breaking show were brilliantly mixed with ACRAZE’s hit single, which DJ Snake deemed “the song of the summer”earlier this year. In true mega-festival fashion, eerie visuals from Squid Game were melded with Zedd’s logo befor...
Here’s something to latch onto: Disclosure and Zedd have been spotted in the studio. Zedd took to Instagram yesterday to share a clip from a studio session with the “Latch” hitmakers. The video shows Guy Lawrence at the piano, recording a melody for an upbeat deep house demo as his brother Howard, the other esteemed member of Disclosure, looms. It’s much too early to tell if Disclosure and Zedd are collaborating on new music or if the session was simply a friendly hangout. But we can dream. Check out the clip below, recorded from Zedd’s Instagram. Recommended Articles Disclosure have stayed typically prolific as of late. The duo released their Never Enough EP in August, which comprised five singles released on each day of the week leading ...
Fans are yearning for the soaring, euphoric riffs characteristic of the iconic house music singles that dominated the early 2010s. At least, that’s one interpretation of a new EDM.com social media poll. When we asked the fans which classic dance music single needed some 2021 remix magic, nearly 20,000 nostalgic respondents weighed in. By a wide margin, electronic music fans felt Swedish House Mafia‘s swan song, “Don’t You Worry Child” could use a resurgence. The single was among the first dance tracks at the time to land on major metropolitan pop radio stations, unifying fans across the globe in the process. Simultaneously, we sullenly counted down to the conclusion of the group’s One Last Tour, which felt like the definitive end to an era. Li...
