Each year, Coachella meets and exceeds the high standards it sets for itself, as well as those set by its attendees. This year was no different, with plenty of special moments throughout both weekends. Even for those of us watching the live stream at home, nearly 70 artists streamed their full sets including Billie Eilish, Gesaffelstein, Zedd, Weezer, NGHTMRE, Dillon Francis, and of course all the headliners. This was the first year that both weekends were going to be live streamed in full, but clearly everyone was still more excited for the first weekend. Weekend One of the live...
We’re just in the middle of spring, but we can already feel summer is on its way. (Maybe I’m biased in LA where seasons aren’t really a thing.) With the changing seasons, music follows to keep the mood consistent and give a soundtrack to your adventures and vacations. MYRNE & yetep just put out a new summer heater with Kyle Reynolds, “No Doubt,” that is sure to be played on many a road trip this summer. Equal parts gritty rock and melodic feels, “No Doubt” works by weaving each of its artists’ influences into a beautiful tapestry. “It represents the...
Shaq knows how to throw a party — and apparently can start a mosh pit, too! The 7-foot-1, 300 pound entertainer was captured over the weekend moshing with fans at Celine in Orlando. DJ Diesel took a moment to get intimate with the crowd, literally jumping in the pit to rage with them. The video clip below is pure, internet gold. It’s hilarious to watch Shaq getting it, hard. Especially because as he moves, the entire crowd moves with him. Of course, this isn’t the first time he’s gotten down in the pit himself, if you remember this epic moment from...
Lots of songs end up sounding similar by the time they’re finally released — after millennia of compositions, there are only so many combinations left untouched. However, few are deemed close enough to be worthy of a lawsuit for copyright infringement. That being said, Arty is suing Marshmello for allegedly stealing elements from his remix of the One Republic song, “I Lived,” for the latter’s “Happier” with Bastille. In addition to Marshmello, the suit names his cowriters on the song, Daniel Campbell Smith, the cofounder of the British rock band Bastille, and Steve Mac as defendants. Arty and Marshmello...
I’ve got a straight banger today from Wolfgang Gartner. The legend has delivered another complextro hit that will make both old and new fans of Wolfgang happy. He’s been on a tear ever since releasing “Banshee” with k?d last year and is showing no signs of letting up. Packed with a groovy and upbeat bassline, a killer vocal sample, and dope synth work, Wolfgang’s latest effort is heading straight into my work out playlist. Check it out below and pick up your copy here.
If you recognize the name Dack Janiels, then you already know the insanity that’s about to ensue. The producer just hit us with “Shinobi,” out now his own imprint, 40oz Cult — and it’s 100% deadly. With a ninja-like attack, Dack goes in with this dark, gritty production. Cutting-edge sound design and sharp instincts give off an intense, menacing energy throughout. Each drop amplified by precise, forbidding hits — every move counts. Of course, the only real danger here is the threat “Shinobi” poses to your speakers. This new single follows another monstrous solo release, “Overkill.” Both of which serve up...
It’s been a little over a month and a half since Flume made his grand return with his Hi This Is Flume mixtape and following single, “Friends.” After announcing a show at Red Rocks for August, he went relatively quiet again, but not before he told fans that there was a lot more coming this year. Well, fans believe the next new music is coming very soon, and their reasoning makes sense, at least in a purely circumstantial way. A thread on /r/Flume on suggests new music is coming June 21, the first day of summer. If you look back at Hi...
KEELD goes well outside the norm with “Freek,” a new production guaranteed to get you out your seat! Might as well report to the dance floor now. Smooth come ups and downtempo beats set the mood as deep, looping vocals reinforce it. The cycle put forth by KEELD is a low-end roller coaster ride — up and down, back and forth through an instinctual groove. Each punctuated note drives the beat home a little more. It’s optional, but encouraged, when listening to let that inner freak flag fly. KEELD busted onto the scene in 2017, seemingly out of nowhere. It wasn’t...
With every album, Adele has shared a chapter of her life by the numbers — 19, 21, and 25. Apparently 30 wasn’t easy, and she jokes that her next album will be entirely drum n bass just to spite those who made it tough on her. “This is 31… thank fucking god.” The multi-Grammy award-winning artist opens up in the post below: 30 tried me so hard but I’m owning it and trying my hardest to lean in to it all. No matter how long we’re here for life is constant and complicated at times. I’ve changed drastically in...
Walk into any club in the world, and you’ll likely see a pair of some iteration of CDJ-2000s and a DJM-900 on the DJ booth. The Pioneer mixers are a standard worldwide, controlling between 60-70% of the global market of DJ mixers. However, according to reports from Japanese financial websites, it appears that Pioneer is in talks to sell off the remainder of its DJ subsidiary. Pioneer actually already sold 85% of its DJ arm to investment firm KKR & Co. in 2015, however financial troubles from its parent company seem to have called for the sale. Pioneer DJ did...
