Knife Party’s Knifecast Podcast remains pretty underground except for the duo’s devoted following which catches it every episode; but for those who do listen, they always end up getting something like a new track or some bit of “insider” info that no one else gets. On the latest episode, Knifecast 13, Knife Party debuted a new single entitled “Ghost Train.” You’ll remember that Knife Party shared a track called “Ghost Town” last November on Knifecast, but it doesn’t sound like the two are sonically related at all. “Ghost Town” is a pulsing, pounding tune that borders on techno and...
Over Miami Music Week, many DJs took the opportunity to showcase their upcoming and unreleased work. Laidback Luke and Keanu Silva took full advantage at the Mixmash Takeover event at the Delano Beach Club — where they dropped this crazy new ID. During Luke’s set, Keanu was invited up on stage to perform their new collab. It was immediately obvious they were gearing up for a massive release together, as the Mixmash Records team handed out paper megaphones with the text: Oh Yes – Rockin’ With The Best.

The duo caps off each night with a full set,...
Manila Killa dropped his debut EP 1993 earlier this year, including the retro pop hit “All 2 U” featuring Sara Skinner. Now a couple months after the EP’s release, Covex gets his hands on the single for a completely new vibe. The retro pop and guitar vibe is replaced with a heavily melodic bassline and pure EDM synth sounds, but at its core, Covex still maintains the original’s spirit. Whereas the original has a definite rock feel to it, with the rolling drums and pumped up tempo in the climax, Covex really keeps the more EDM vibes strong. Listen to...
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… but I guess the same adage doesn’t apply to Coachella. Some wary eye looking up to the ferris wheel this past weekend on the polo grounds caught something they weren’t expecting: an act of oral sex. Now, there’s nothing wrong with oral sex, but when it’s in the view of the public, especially at an all-ages festival, then you’ve got something to be concerned about. Of course, families should be ready to see any and all types at a festival, but it could be argued that this is crossing a line. At...
Camp EDC already shared a load of new improvements and modifications to make 2019 better than 2018.

This year is expected to be even better, and with the variety of activities available and artists set to play the campgrounds, there’s very little doubt of that. Over the Coachella weekend, EDC revealed the full list...

Following up his Confession EP and recent Chainsmoker’s remix, Saint Punk is ever expanding our imagination to the diverse and driving soundscape he’s introduced. The solo DJ/producer could be grouped into a similar wave of producers as: Tchami, Joyryde, and Dog Blood with the unique difference being the rock drive and embodiment Saint Punk imprints on the modern house style. “Guttah” is no distant representation of this style immediately grabbing you with the ping-pong synonymous bouncing of building basslines. ‘Guttah’ blends together elements of bass and house, forming a fluid, festival ready rager that entices with particular and ear...
With Beyoncé‘s show-stopping headline set at Coachella last year — Ariana Grande low key had a lot to live up to this weekend as reigning pop supreme. But, naturally, she didn’t disappoint.
