This past Friday, Urban Outfitters accidentally leaked the full tracklist for Illenium’s forthcoming self-titled album, due out April 28, including track titles and featured artists. For anyone wondering, everything released since “Shivering” in May 2022 will be on the album, including “All That Really Matters” with Teddy Swims, “From The Ashes” with Skylar Grey, “Worst Day” with MAX, and of course his latest single, “Luv Me A Little” with Nina Nesbitt. The big reveal, that we’re sure Illenium’s team had some grand reveal for prior to the leak, is a huge collaboration featuring Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker, “Eyes Wide Shut.” Additionally, collaborations with Grabbitz & Wooli, American Teeth, All Time Low, and Motionless In White are also on the album.
So, what did Illenium have to say about all of this?
After all, what else can you say at that point? After it hits Twitter, there’s no stopping the spread — the image of the leaked tracklist quickly made its way to Reddit and other forums, and American Teeth even went so far as to quote retweet the leak confirming he’s definitely on the album. Props to Illenium for taking all of this in stride, as much as he could. We’re sure to get a couple more singles before the album drops in a little less than three months so stay tuned.

The Magician makes his debut on Sony Music with the release of his highly anticipated new single with the Aston Shuffle, “Differences.” The track is the first time the two producers have worked together, and it showcases the melodic sensibility and impeccable production skills of both artists. It is a genre-defying track that fuses their unique sonic signatures, delivering a stunning piece of contemporary electronic music with a vintage twist. The single is elevated even further by singer/songwriter Remy, who has collaborated with The Chainsmokers, Tate McRae, and Anitta. The Magician, a founder of nu-disco and Balearic house duo Aeroplane, is a celebrated name in modern house music. The Aston Shuffle, Australian producer and DJ, boasts over 150 million streams and hit singles like “Stay.” The two artists have finally collaborated after years of discussion and recorded “Differences” in a Brooklyn studio. Get ready for a massive start to 2023 with this collaboration. Speaking on the release The Magician shares: “We have been talking about a collaboration for a long time. We love each others work and Aston Shuffle was the first signature on my label Potion Records. We shared some demo ideas and decided to choose to work on this beautiful little melody which took us back to childhood memories!” This article was first published on Your EDM.

San Holo initially started the track with RL Grime, and then brought on Lizzy Land, who says of the songwriting process: “I heard the main melody for ‘DON’T LOOK DOWN’ almost instantly […] Like gentle bells ringing in my ears. I found it relatable to the way I often feel when I’m overwhelmed or looking for a boost. I hope it inspires people to believe in better days, a higher mindset, and the idea that they can get through anything.” “…your doubts and negative thoughts are just like clouds passing by. We easily get caught up in the noise of everyday life, myself included. I hope this song can help you keep your head up, and give you the strength to keep going! This song means so much to me and was written from the heart!” San Holo adds. Stream “DON’T LOOK DOWN” below, and keep out for new music! This article was first published on Your EDM.

It’s the lyrics ‘come with me to where we’ve never been before’ that hint at van Dyk’s new venture in the live experience, VENTURE X. This new live show, will see the veteran DJ curate, and edit trance and progressive anthems in real time. VENTURE X is an exciting new concept where the master DJ and curator sources from the finest trance, progressive house, and techno music and brings it all together during one incredible evening. “VENTURE X allows me to explore the width of what electronic music means to me, not just what people expect me to play. It allows me the space to play what I think people should really know, feel, and be exposed to. People know me for trance but there is so much more. VENTURE X allows me to do this as a musical concept because I won’t play 130 BPM straight through but rather a wider musical experience. With most DJ sets I find you either have techno but missing the progressive sequence that takes you on a journey or you have a progressive sound that’s missing the punch. For me, that’s what it’s about, the drive, the push, the pull, and the memories that you create,” van Dyk says. VENTURE X launches February 17, 2023, in Toronto, Canada at Toybox and will be presented additional cities including New York City, Montreal, Pontiac, Denver, Portland, San Francisco, and Austin. Tickets and more info can be found here.

Off the back of his debut EP release “Deep Into the Sun,” and sold out parties coast to coast from NY to LA, “Jazz Club NY” sets the aesthetic for the expectations of Mike’s sophomore project. The title alone sets the vibe, and the single cover really takes it there, visually. From Omari Clarke’s MCing, and the build up of instruments guided by the keys, layered with a deep house groove, this is the club you want to be in. Native to Memphis, Mike Nasty’s music is not just the music he likes, it’s who he is. It’s the reflection of his own journey. “I wanted to tap into deeper sonics of house music with influences of Jazz, Soul, Acid house, and Hip Hop. The project represents my musical journey which all began in Memphis. The Blues and Gospel influence from the city has helped shape my music style into what it is today. This EP pays homage to the place I love the most. I’ll always represent the South with every accomplishment I achieve.” Stream “Jazz Club NY” below, and look out for the ‘Journey from Memphis’ EP out March 23 This article was first published on Your EDM.

As we fall headfirst into the new year, he’s back with Maddix to reimagine a dance floor classic, but not necessarily from the club floor… “Take Me Away” by 4 Strings became a classic on Dance Dance Revolution, though it holds its own on streaming services, as well, with over 27m Spotify streams alone to its name. With a seal of approval from 4 Strings, who described the rework as “a dancefloor banger,” Hardwell and Maddix now reunite for their fifth collaboration, a beloved trance rework that does the unprecedented exhilaration of the original justice. “Take Me Away Again” retains the same elusive euphoria while ramping up a signature modern dance floor sound that relies on prolific drops and underground basslines to slot perfectly into their own live sets. “Following a wild run of REBELS NEVER DIE return shows, it felt like a good time to officially release this special rework of a classic as 2023 gets underway,” said Hardwell. “We wanted to give the dramatic, atmospheric feel of the original a heavier, harder-edged energy. Bringing it up to date with the sound that fits each of our shows.” Listen below!

Their latest album, ‘Brighter Future II’ is a perfect testament to that, as Big G gave fans just about everything from Lo-Fi and hip-hop tracks to electrifying dance pop anthems. Packed with hits like “Keep on Rising” [feat. Aloe Blacc], “Open Your Mind” [with GRiZ], “and “Free” [feat. Elohim], it’s safe to say the album became an instant classic for the band. Today, Big Gigantic announced they will be taking their highly anticipated show on the road this winter for a twenty-date trek across the U.S, and they’ll be bringing along an incredibly eclectic group of supporting acts: Tvboo, Eazybaked, Smoakland, A Hundred Drums, Ahee, Jaenga, Superave, Levity, Lizzie Jane and MZG. This veritable who’s who of up-and-coming electronic artists will be appearing in different combinations at different shows; full details along with dates, tickets and more can be found here. They’ve also unveiled their own electrifying remix to their single “Keep On Rising” feat. Aloe Blacc that we are thrilled to offer as a first listen to you! It’s bass house at its finest, driven by a thundering beat, fiery synth work, and Aloe Blacc’s soulful, captivating vocals. We also had the chance to chat with Big G about this upcoming tour, what’s inspiring them right now, and their Big Gigantic Difference Foundation, which supports non-profits for at-risk youth, music education, and more. Enjoy! What’s are some aspects about this tour that you’re excited for fans to experience?
Dom: We’re just excited to get back out on tour to the new places we haven’t gotten to perform our new album and very excited to see our latest stage design this run, that’s inspired by our last Red Rocks stage design!
How do you both stay inspired with all that you have going on? Are the upcoming releases/tours enough to keep your inspiration tank full, or do you look to podcasts, books, films, songs, etc help keep that fire stoked?BG: Honestly it’s easy to stay inspired in the current music landscape. There are so many artist friends, upcoming artists and just artists out there in general that are doing so many incredible things and also just have insane work ethic, that it’s easy to wake up everyday and know that you have your work cut out for you. I’ve also been pretty locked into the new Rick Ruben book hahaha! How do you keep pushing yourselves to go one step beyond what you’ve already accomplished?BG: That can be tricky but when your mission as an artist is to.. be an artist, and learn and grown everyday then the goal is beyond just going one step further, it’s always more so, taking a new step everyday forward towards something that’s bigger down the road Could you share a little bit more about ‘A Big Gigantic Difference Foundation’ and it’s impact?Jeremy: We started ABGD Foundation a few years back in efforts to raise awareness and funds for all sorts of causes. Our incredible fans have helped us raise hundreds of thousands of dollars that have gone to everything from feeding communities around the country, building computer labs to teach kids music in areas that don’t have access to music classes and helping our good friends Conscious Alliance buy their warehouse to accommodate the food/goods they get to feed literally millions of people. Its pretty incredible what our community can do when we put our minds to do. We’re constantly looking for new ways to help people in any way possible & really look forward to future projects. Dom, what are you working on next? What’s been inspiring you as of late (films, artists, songs, etc.)Dom: I’m working on several different EP/albums to release for Big Gigantic in the next year or two, working on our live show and also just working on some other creative music and jazz things and different stuff like that. My plate has been super full but it’s been really fun letting each project lend a hand to other projects. Each idea feeds the next and so on. Anything else ahead for 2023 that you’d like to share with the Your EDM audience?BG: Just to be on the look out for more new music a little later this year, more touring and of course our 2 night Rowdytown event at Red Rocks the last weekend of September! This is the first year in several years that it hasn’t fallen on the same weekend as Lost Lands so we’re hoping to see some fresh bass music fans who haven’t been able to attend in the past this time around. Rowdytown is such a special event and we always go all out, so, we’re excited to step our game up again this year!!
