Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” EP Came Out 9 Years Ago Today 🤯

Another year around the sun, and Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites from Skrillex still remains one of dance music’s most cherished releases. We celebrate it again, as we did last year, but this year is a bit different — at least for Skrillex. SMANS was really the first album that truly signaled a change in how the main stream viewed dance music. With the exception of Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers, Skrillex was the first dance music artist in the EDM realm to win a Grammy for his work, and was certainly the catalyst for the Recording Academy to open...

Malux & Prolix & Jakes – Flip Out [Trendkill]

What a lineup… Three of the most predominant names in the electronic world come together to produce a sinister sound of calculated chaos.

An absolute future classic. The tune lifts off with an ominous yet teasing introduction, subtly hinting to the impending bass weight that is sure to hit at any given moment with force.

Zeds Dead's Legendary "Eyes On Fire" Remix Just Turned 10 Years Old

Ten years ago, I was but a fledgling headbanger. I’d maybe heard Mt Eden’s “Sierra Leone,” perhaps “Jehova,” and… Zeds Dead’s “Eyes On Fire” remix. This was also back in the early days of UKF, the platform at least partly responsible for the popularity of artists like Flux Pavilion, Modestep, Nero, and Knife Party. In fact, half of UKF’s top 10 most watched videos feature Flux Pavilion. But, that’s beside the point — today, we’re here to talk about the channel’s #1 video of all time. Since 2009, Zeds Dead have put out a number of EPs, two albums,...

EDM’s Biggest Dubstep Track of 2019 Went #1 On TikTok

“Griztronics” is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread and it’s only gaining popularity. Just recently, the bass heavy collaboration between GRiZ and Subtronics took over TikTok as the top trending song. The number 1 song on the number 1 downloaded app means “Griztronics” was and still is being heard by hundreds of millions of new ears. The hilarious thing here is that the song has been associated with a foodie hashtag — #tastesdifferent. Just like, “Ooh, this shit be hittin’ different,” the viral videos revolve around food that be tasting different. TikTok has a tendency to be...

VIDEO: Headhunterz Pledges To Quit DJ Mag's Top 100 Despite Placing 9 Consecutive Times

Headhunterz was recently voted top hard dance act by DJ Mag‘s Top 100 DJs poll — but this will be the last time he carries the torch. The DJ/producer just announced he’s dropping out of the competition after coming in at number 29 for 2019. In what he describes as a decision from the heart, Headhunterz believes this is the best move for himself personally and also what makes sense for his career. Headhunterz states in the video below: I feel that I live in a scene that we all built from the ground up together. We all deserve credit for that. Not...

Have Spotify Premium? You Can Get A Free Google Home Mini Right Now – Here's How

Spotify loves to find ways to entice new subscribers and keep its current ones happy. The latest scheme is giving away free Google home minis, and it’s really easy to get one! But, there are some caveats. First, you have to know that this is the Google home mini, not the newer Nest mini. The difference is the Nest has better sound quality and a headphone jack. Second, if you received a Google home mini through a similar promotion last year, sorry, you’re ineligible for this one. No double dipping! But now that’s out of the way, you can...
