Galantis have worked with an innumerable amount of stellar artists, from Passiot Pit to OneRepublic to Yellow Claw, Rozes, Throttle, Wrabel, and more. Now, the Swedish production duo is set to release their biggest collab ever with the legendary Dolly Parton on October 25th. The single, “Faith,” which also features Mr. Probz for even more star power, is Ms. Parton’s first foray into electronic music. While it’s not like a Dolly Parton collaboration had ever been officially ruled out, it’s still incredible to see all the new artists EDM is bringing into to the fold. As far as we...
Flume’s latest single, after putting out Hi This Is Flume earlier this year, along with a full EP with Reo Cragun, is “Rushing Back” with Vera Blue. The two make an excellent pairing for the song, and they’re pushing it hard everywhere. Earlier this month, Flume shared a live version of the song performed with Vera at Red Rocks. Now, they’ve stripped it down for an emotionally touching acoustic version performed at Studio 301 in Australia, the longest running and largest professional recording studios in the world. Suffice it to say, the result is simply stunning. Listen below, and stream the...
Not only are we approaching the end of the decade, but we’re already past video platform VEVO’s 10th anniversary. With the two milestones just about happening simultaneously, the video host went ahead and looked through its collection to find the 10 most-watched videos of all times. The most-watched are broken down between globally, in the U.S. and the U.K. Overall, the U.S. numbers tower above those in the U.K., and obviously, the global videos tower above the U.S. even more so. As you might expect, “Despacito” is the most-watched video with nearly six and a half billion views, while Mark Ronson...
While Amazon’s corporate events usually include a big star or two, they’re hardly considered “music events.” Now, the online retailer is getting into the music festival world as it launches Intersect in Las Vegas this December.

Paak & The Free Nationals on day 2. They will be supported by the likes of Gesaffelstein, Jamie xx, JPEGMAFIA, Flying Lotus (3D), Kaytranada, Leon Bridges, and more. In addition to the...

We’re now nearly three weeks after Lost Lands this year, and I’m sure some people are still wishing they were right there in Legend Valley in front of the Paradox headbanging their riddim hearts out. Sadly, it cannot be… BUT! In lieu of actually being there, Excision has finally released the HD stream of his 2-hour headlining set from Friday night. The 2-hour set has nearly 120 tracks in it, making it nearly one track a minute. The wild pace alongside the already wild tracks is part of what makes an Excision set an Excision set and what makes...
Following mass fear over vaping devices, the Trump administration is expected to approve a policy to remove all flavored e-cigarettes from the market. Ahead of the decision, Juul has voluntarily decided to remove all flavored pods – creme, mango, fruit, cucumber – from all retailers, including their online store, effectively immediately. Juul will still sell mint and menthol varieties. “We continue to review our policies and practices in advance of FDA’s flavor guidance and have not made any final decisions,” Juul spokesman Austin Finan said in a statement. “We are refraining from lobbying the administration on its draft flavor guidance...
A new study from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) at the University of New South Wales in Sydney has found that nearly half of people who take ecstasy use testing kits — and much more. Of the people who reported regular ecstasy intake, 68% had attended a music festival within the past year. In addition, 93% of people who used ecstasy within the past six months and also attended a music festival, had used illicit drugs at the last festival they attended. Another study from the Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) found over two thirds of Australians were...
Well, Misanthrop’s announced a new album due out shortly so it’s basically pencils down and pay attention until then. Analog, due out on Neosignal on November 8, continues some of the sound experiments Misanthrop was playing with in his 2017 EP Blurred but he’s attacking it from a different angle this time. Not only are all the tracks on Analog hand-stitched with no sound samples and mostly analog equipment but each track has its own story. Neosignal released the first track off Analog, “Deus,” last week and it certainly showcased the “analog” point for this album. With lots of modular synth work and what sounds like actual...
Everyone remember the instantly viral FaceApp from three months ago that let you edit anyone’s face through an AI algorithm to appear much older? It was a flash in the pan success, though the app’s pro tier does have some nifty editing tools, but a flash in the pan nonetheless. Now, a new app called ‘Gradient Photo Editor‘ is receiving the same sort of instant viral attention and proving that you don’t even have to be even remotely correct to become a viral meme success. Like any viral app, it starts with a bit of underground guerrilla marketing from...
