To put it lightly, the past couple months have been a trying time for everybody. From the mania of quarantine to the civil and political unrest to the pandemic itself, we’re all on edge. Some more than others. Some people’s lives have been put on hold, while others work excessive...
When I saw Odesza’s tweet yesterday, I felt a bolt of energy surge through me. It’s been a long string of setbacks painting a grim picture of the future lately, so it was a refreshing change from the new norm. https://twitter.com/odesza/status/1254515628154556417?s=20 New music is one thing, but new music with...
Just a heads up before you hit play on 'Let Me Go,' it doesn't sound like Duke Dumont. That's not a bad thing, in fact it's far from it, but it's a bit of a shake-up for the first minute and a half plus. Initially, it's just Ry X's soft...
Gorgon City has a knack for taking what could easily be a long, sad, and slow ballad and shifting it into a dance anthem that only hurts a little. But in a good way. They’ve accomplished exactly that in their brand new collaboration with Chicago-based duo DRAMA, ‘Nobody,’ out today...

Nestled in-between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the now traditional lineup release came from Electric Forest HQ. While it's full of many of the usual suspects and crowd favorites, it admittedly feels a little light on surprises. I was expecting some kind of "best of" lineup for the decade celebration until EF...
Star-Kid is, as the name sounds, electronic music that's introduced more galaxy-enhanced sweeps with a bass style that brings in elements of both doom and hope right from the start. But, with tracks 'Fog' and further on with 'Flooded' they bring a calmness to the experience to there new project Star-kid...
I received an email this morning announcing a new video release for the song ‘Repetition’ by Max Cooper, and that video was so mindbogglingly cool that it got me out of bed to write about it. It’s that good. As usual, I like to let the artist speak for themselves...
