Tomorrowland Reveals Breathtaking Full Trailer For 2019 Festival, The Book Of Wisdom

Tomorrowland is only four weeks away! With the full lineup out now (minus a mystery headliner on Sunday), the festival has released the official trailer for the event with callbacks to many of its older themes over the past decade. The theme for this year, Book Of Wisdom, is a continuation of the theme of the same name from 2015 in a sort of “the story continues” fashion. For this 15th anniversary edition, Tomorrowland is going the extra mile. Starting this week, all festival guests will receive their personal bracelets … together with a physical copy of “The Book of...

Flume Unveils New GØAT Mixtape with Five Brand New Songs

Flume seemingly just unleashed a mysterious new four-legged side project under the name GØAT — and five new tracks to go with it. While the promo is minimal, cryptic, and rather furry, we have reason to believe Flume is very much involved with the project. It all started with an Instagram post dated May 5, 2019 that shouts out his goats his official account — @totesmgoats1, @cutegoatguyyy, and @hayfanatic69. Whether Flume or his goats are working alone or not has yet to be determined. But, it’s best not to dwell on the details and simply enjoy the music. The productions are experimental and...

AT LAST: Listen To The Debut Album From Armin van Buuren's Side Project, GAIA

There are few producers left who began more than a decade ago who can still command a room quite like Armin van Buuren. Apart from both his wildly successful label, Armada, and radio show, A State Of Trance, Armin has produced under another, more storied alias called GAIA with his production partner Benno de Goeij since 2006. However, even after working together for 13 years, today, marks the launch of the long-awaited, debut GAIA album Moons Of Jupiter. The album was only just announced last week and immediately had fans anxious for the release, proving the lasting power of...

Jaron Releases New Soft-Spoken Single, "Catch"

Jaron is one of my new obsessions in 2019 — I know it’s weird to be obsessed with a 17-year-old, but bear with me. No 17-year-old should logically be able to create music with this much inherent life experience and emotion, and yet here we are. With his new song “Catch” out today, once again I find myself with my jaw on the floor and a craving for more. “Catch” features Jaron’s own vocals, as well as original writing and production. Not that that’s any different from his other tracks, I just wanted to remind you that a 17-year-old...

Skrillex & TroyBoi Finally Unleash Their Massive Collab, "WARLORDZ" [MUST LISTEN]

It seems like forever since we’ve heard some harder material from Skrillex, but we finally get it today with “WARLORDZ,” his new collaboration with TroyBoi, out now OWSLA. Skrillex actually features on TroyBoi’s tune, but that doesn’t make his involvement any less bombastic. The combination of both artists’ styles are clearly presented in this 3-minute tribal bass journey. TroyBoi’s left of center style of trap and bass feels right at home with Skrillex’s heavier wobbles and punchier synths. Both artists dedicated thank you posts to each other, with Skrillex even beaming, “I got featured on a @TroyBoiMusic song!” ?‍♀️?...

Sullivan King & Grabbitz Team Up For New Collaboration, "Crazy as You"

So, let’s put this front and center right now: Sullivan King and Grabbitz are friendship goals. Having already collaborated once before on the former’s latest EP for “Show Stopper,” they decided it wasn’t enough and just put out a true one-to-one collab called “Crazy as You.” By “true,” I mean there’s no “feat” here. It’s both artists getting equal credit, putting in equal effort and creating something truly astounding. Both Sullivan King and Grabbitz are multi-instrumentalists with voices of gold, and hearing them both bringing their all into this single feels like the end of the beginning. Having watched...

Your EDM Premiere: Ilkay Sencan & Dynoro – Rockstar

As a follow up to ‘Do It,’ Ilkay Sencan has just released a wicked new sound titled ‘Rockstar,’ which has been made in collaboration with Dynoro. A super slick version of Post Malone’s track of the same name, it’s a great listen from both producers. You can take a full listen to this dynamic sound with our premiere below, with Ilkay saying: “I’m heavily influenced by cool dirty, gritty bass loops and like to mix these sounds on top of house beats. One day I was listening to ‘Rockstar’ by Post Malone, instantly fell in love with it and had...

Your EDM Premiere: Lucille Croft x TMRRW "Walk In The Rave"

So, Lucille Croft and TMRRW walk into a rave… The two producers have teamed up for an epic new collab, properly titled “Walk In The Rave,” out now Kannibalen Records. With a go hard or go home mindset, they manage to perfectly set the scene and provide an escape to an imaginative underground rave with every play through. Hitting an immediate stride, “Walk In The Rave” moves forward with intention. Alluring vocals are designed to draw you in and an intriguing build amplifies the tension. Still, there’s no way to tell where this track is heading — until it...

Risik Drops Beautifully Composed Flip of Billie Eilish Original, "IDWBU"

Risik treats us to a divinely dark new flip of Billie Eilish‘s original track “idontwannabeyouanymore.” Shortened to “IDWBU,” the rave-worthy bass producer shows off her unmistakeable flair with a theatrical take on the pop star’s otherwise soft-spoken release. Haunted by Billie’s voice and possessed by Risik’s raw, gripping talent, “IDWBU” comes alive. Suspense builds through a fierce, saturated and distorted soundscape, before slapping with massive bass and a striking drum section. Suddenly, we’re hanging on every word and anticipating every hit. Amidst the madness, Risik finds an addictive rhythm with just the right amount of heavy. There’s something about...
