As we approach the end of the year, it comes time to look back on the last twelve months and assign some accolades. We’ve already named our 40 Artists To Watch in 2020 and our Top Breakout Artist of 2019. Our Top 10 Albums list is coming up soon, what else is there? This year, we decided to introduce Your EDM’s Top Tastemaker. And for the inaugural year, we couldn’t think of anyone more deserving than Zeds Dead’s label Deadbeats. Your EDM has been following Deadbeats all year, and not just because we personally like the content, but because...
After Tomorrowland blacked out its social media last week, it has gloriously returned to reveal the theme for its 2020 festival: The Reflection of Love. Following the festival last year, it was assumed that the theme would revolve around space and time, based on the spines of two books facing outward on the main stage. Obviously, that turned out to be incorrect. However! As it turns out, the theme was right there on the main stage, we were just looking at the wrong book, as EDM Tunes points out. Check out the teaser for the theme below. Along with the...
It’s 2019. We all know Spotify as the leader in music streaming that it is, but how did it get there? Much like Facebook had The Social Network, Spotify will be getting its own scripted series on Netflix about the evolution of the platform. This will not be a documentary, and the as-yet-titled show is inspired by the book Spotify Untold. The synopsis reads: “At the height of piracy, established heavy-hitters were fighting against where the turbulent music industry was heading. The series centers around young Swedish tech entrepreneur, Daniel Ek, and his partner Martin Lorentzon, who revolutionized a whole...
When Your EDM published its first article in June 2012, no one could have predicted it would become the top source of dance music news in the community with over 3 million followers. Dance music has changed a lot over the past decade, and so has Your EDM, but we’ve been here to cover all of it just the same. As the decade comes to a close, we take a look back at our most viral stories over the years, from everyone’s obsession over Marshmello’s identity to the tragic news that Avicii had passed away. Take a look at...
Juice WRLD‘s initial autopsy has been deemed “inconclusive,” according to a new report. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office released a statement on Monday calling for more studies to determine his cause of death. Cardiac pathology, neuropathology, toxicology and histology will be necessary to determine what exactly happened. Furthermore, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi disclosed in a statement to CNN: “There were no signs of foul play and all individuals aboard the aircraft are cooperating with CPD and have given all of their information.” The popular rapper, real name Jarad Higgins, was pronounced dead at a hospital after suffering a seizure deboarding a...
Your EDM’s brand new parties with Temple Denver are reaching a whole new level in 2020. Immediately following the new year, we are hosting a local takeover on 1/2 followed by rising duo X&G on 1/9 who recently featured on a Dog Blood (Skrillex x Boys Noize) track, “4 MIND” with josh pan. Next up is Deadbeats mainstay Lick on 1/16 who has been making tons of waves in the bass music community as of late, and was just named one of our Artists To Watch in 2020. He’s followed by the pristine house vibes of Noizu on 1/23 who is releasing music aplenty on Insomniac...
Shöckface and fellow collaborator mark veins have joined forces for another anthemic record named ‘Snakes.’ The two producers collaborated previously last year in which they brought us the cinematic genre-blending record ‘Emerge.’ Now they are back and sounding better than ever in their new groovy record, Snakes. The record wastes no time on working to intrigue listeners. Elements of groove and experimental production are interwoven into ‘Snakes.’ The record even features aptly put vocal samples of the word ‘snakes’ throughout the record. Check out what Shöckface had to say out about how the record came together: “The music industry...
Google is the go-to online search engine for pretty much anything you can think of. The most searched terms for 2019 are here, from music to television, sports to news, and everything in between. Disney Plus takes the hot spot for 2019 as the top-most Googled search. This only goes to show our love for nostalgia and Baby Yoda (who is the most Googled baby, by the way). Late stars including actor Cameron Boyce rapper Nipsey Hussle come in as the 2nd and 3rd-most Googled terms, respectively. As far as musicians and bands go, R. Kelly is the most searched term for obvious and unfortunate...
Habstrakt continues his reign over bass house with a brand new, blazing single, “Real.” Not only does the song top off a remarkable run of Habstrakt singles in 2019, it assures us he has another massive year ahead in 2020. Above all else, we can count on the DJ/producer to keep it “Real.” Habstrakt’s signature style thrives in full form with this release — it’s high energy, pumping action fused through a mean blend of bass and electro. For bass house lovers, this is as good as it gets. I wanted to make something raw and distorted but packed...
Nightenjin‘s inaugural Pit Crew V1 Compilation just released, marking a new era of music curation for the imprint. From start to finish line, this remarkably diverse collection goes full throttle, offering six brand new selects built for the night. With three tracks on the bass side and three on the house side, there’s something for everyone to get down to. The bass side, comprised of tracks from Lizzy Jane, Flozone, and Indvstry, packs in the compilation’s most intense soundscapes. Between Lizzy’s glitchy, trap-infused hybrid, Flozone’s massive, buzzing growls, and Indvstry’s hyper rhythm, there’s more than enough bass to go around....
