Kayzo and Crankdat’s long-awaited collaboration has been in the works for nearly a year, and it’s finally out today. “The Fire” is a blisteringly hot combination of both artists’ styles, with pounding hardstyle in the first half followed by some hair-raising dubstep. Funnily enough, Kayzo actually alluded to the track’s eventual title when he first tweeted about it in June last year. Check out the track below, out now on Kayzo’s Welcome Records.

YØUNGBLØØD and BLOSSO‘s hard-hitting trap heater is next up! “Throw It Down” wastes no time making its presence known. After a short intro the production rises and drops into its forceful metallic trap lead, which makes a good couple of runs — only to be rivaled by the track’s final and most impactful drop. Laced with hip-hop vocal chops from the classic “Throw Some D’s” by Rich Boy feat. Polow Da Don, this collab delivers on nostalgia, too. Alex Jongbloed, better known as YØUNGBLØØD, is a shining new talent in underground bass music. He consistently joins trap elements with unique sound design to forge his own path. His “designer bass” sound is at work here with BLOSSO in the mix. This is loud, aggressive trap at its finest. Listen here via Electric Hawk.

Even in spite of everything going on in the world, that musicians are able to continue to collaborate and put out new music is a blessing on its own. One of the biggest questions about the collaborative project is how it came to be. In a new statement from Odesza, they explain that there was no “specific objective or goal in mind” when they started working together. They did it because they were friends and had a mutual admiration for each other — as they started collaborating, the project itself was able to “take on a life of its own.” The full album was written and recorded over a period of three years while both artists were touring, so it was done mostly over email, video chat, and trading stems and project files back and forth. Working together helped both artists to expand their own comfort zones and ultimately forced them to become better artists because of it.
You can listen to their first two singles below. The album is out July 17 and is available now to pre-order and pre-save digitally and pre-order the physical LP at the official BRONSON store.

The event raised over $135,000 for Sweet Relief and Feeding America benefiting those affected by COVID-19, with 2.5 million total views and 103 years of content (54,136,800 minutes) watched. Fans can still contribute through donations and merchandise here. “This was our second festival and the numbers are staggering when combined with Digital Mirage (with Proximity and Brownies and Lemonade) reaching more than 6 million views and raising more than $430k for charity. It was only possible with the support of every artist (who played for free) and our production and marketing partners at Cut+Sew, along with our sponsors covering the costs,” Creighton Burke, President of The Nations said. “We are just getting started.” Digital Mirage set itself apart from other dance music live streams over the weekend with a special guest host, Andy King of infamous Fyre fame. “What an incredible honor it was to host the biggest virtual festival we’ve ever seen,” Andy said of Room Service. “For 3 days, we came closer together as a community, danced our faces off, and donated with our hearts. I’m blown away by the millions who tuned in and the money we raised together. Perhaps the best part? There were enough toilets and water for everybody. I think virtual festivals will be my new jam!” Expect more from The Nations, Proximity, and Brownies & Lemonade in the future! This article was first published on Your EDM.

Reports say Turn Up Charlie will not be renewed for a second season. The show has mixed reviews, rated 7.1/10 on IMDB and 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience score is much higher at 90%. Nonetheless, the real-life DJ/producer/actor apparently couldn’t win Netflix over. An inside source reveals, “Idris had hoped to get a second season rolling and was even working on new ideas but he couldn’t get it to work. Netflix and Idris just didn’t see eye to eye on it.” In Turn Up Charlie Elba plays a has-been DJ trying to revive his career. The show also stars Piper Perabo, JJ Feild, and Frankie Hervey. Elba recently tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) and we’re hoping he bounces back stronger than ever. Whatever his next venture is, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Over the first quarter of 2020, Spotify has peaked at 130 million paid subscribers. However, just because these numbers are up, doesn’t mean people are listening more overall. Spotify’s financial report explains: While MAUs and Subs remained in line with our forecast and held steady, in hard hit markets like Italy and Spain, we saw a notable decline in Daily Active Users and consumption. But over the last few weeks, we’ve seen listening start to rebound, and in many markets, consumption has meaningfully recovered. According to the report, the platform’s monthly active users have risen 31 percent in the first quarter. However, it’s up for debate how daily active users and weekly active users are holding up during quarantine. Spotify is rather vague on this front: …the ratio of Daily Active Users relative to Monthly Active Users was strong in the quarter. It will take some time to fully understand how listening habits are being affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

This translates to his collabs as well as all the elements of his releases. From hilarious tracks like “Booger Sugar” in the Ancient Radius project to album art to funny samples and excessive cowbell. The latter two elements are part of the new EP ALSO and High Maintenance are releasing this Friday on Korsakov Music. It’s not all fun and games, however, as Hypersonic still grinds and slaps with the best of them. While ALSO is known for humor and deep bass, High Maintenance is increasingly gaining traction for both his mastery of synths, his clean, fast beats and near perfect snares. It’s thus pretty interesting to witness an EP collab like Hypersonic between the two producers as they appear to be on different sides of the spectrum. When done correctly, however, a collab like this can produce next-level results, which it’s definitely done here. Hypersonic is a perfect melding of the two producers’ styles, with the heavy bass and neuro vibe coming largely from ALSO’s of the table and High Maintenance’s clean synths, cleaner beats and those beautiful snap snares pulling everything together. The title track adds ravey, cinematic melody to a heavy neuro register while the second track, “Party Every Day” lightens up the serious, Mizo-style neuro with a fun and silly vox sample that is the track’s namesake. Finally there’s album closer and our Your EDM premiere for today, “Here We Go Again.” This track might be the best example of an ALSO and High Mainenance collab should sound like: neuro-styled synths and starburst snares with fun vocal samples and so much cowbell you’d think Will Ferrell and Chrisopher Walken where in the studio with them. The result is a fun, funky dancefloor blazer of a track whose roots are in good composition and sound design. “Here We Go Agan” and indeed all of the tracks on Hypersonic are more complex and well-styled than meets the ear. This means the EP will have universal dancefloor appeal as well as getting a technical nod from the head-nodders. While it’s uncertain how many festivals will be open for this EP to be played, it’ll more certainly hit more than a few livestreams so fans can continue to “party every day” at home. Hypersonic drops on Korsakov Music this Friday, May 1. Click here to pre-order, streaming platforms to be posted shortly. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Following up their debut single “If You Really Love Me,” the anticipation for their next release was real — and they delivered. Sensational vocals lead the way, setting a beautiful tone from the start. As the track progresses, piano chords and synths swell together for an intoxicating, danceable drop that has us moving and grooving instinctively. Listen here and see what the power couple has to say about “Body” below. The Two Fake Blondes – BodyThe lyrics for Body came straight out of my early 20s. It’s that super shit feeling of sitting at home alone, post break up, you’re reminded of your ex and even though you know you’re not good for each other anymore… you’re just desperately missing that person in that moment. You start thinking, ‘would I rather feel lonely tonight or lonely tomorrow?’ It’s a classic feeling that almost every person can relate to. — Hannah Everything about working on this track seemed seamless. From Hannah’s lyrics and melody to the production of the song. I really love how it all starts, with the effects on Hannah’s voice and the piano. It really sets the tone perfectly for the song. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and I’m excited to give this to our fans and the rest of the world! — Petey This article was first published on Your EDM.

Don’t worry, he’s still thriving! We caught up with the producer/DJ to talk all things quarantine, his creative process, self love and more. From his new collaboration with NERVO to his opinion on live streams to finding inspiration — it’s all in there. As a member of the LGBTQ community, KANDY recognizes the importance of an ally voice within the dance music scene. KANDY believes “it’s important to show others that anything is possible and to be the best, most authentic YOU, that you can be.” Despite everything that’s going on, this artist’s dazzling, positive attitude shines through — and we can all learn something from the KANDY of the world. That’s singular, not plural, because there’s only one. Read on, listen to his latest, and link up with KANDY below. First up, how’s your quarantine been going so far? How have you been keeping busy?It’s honestly been going really well! I’ve always loved my time at home so nothing has really been a big change! I’ve just been tapping into different creative outlets that I wouldn’t normally have the time to tap into! Last show/festival you played before this all went down?The last show I played before all of this was at EOS in Santa Barbara! It was such a blast & we definitely went out with a bang. It seems the dance music industry (and the music industry in general) just hit the reset button on everything… What do you think this means for our community, the artists, and the fans, moving forward?I just think it’s an amazing opportunity for artists to try new things. I’ve really been enjoying watching everyone try out new creative outlets via social media. Everyone has been so creative from home! I also think it’s smart to use this time to make new music so were all ready to unload once this is all over! What’s it like being the reigning king of pop/EDM? (May sound cheesy, but really — what’s it like to be KANDY?)It’s so crazy because I still feel like me. I try my best to not pay attention to what’s “hot” in the EDM world because it can sway you away from what YOU enjoy. I’ve always said it’s so important to stick to being you & thats exactly what I’ve been doing! Do you separate who you are on stage vs. real life or are you one in the same?You can ask anyone and they’ll tell you I’m the same person. I want people to like me for me an not some fake personality people put on. I do like my quiet/personal time though just like anyone else. Playing a set IRL vs. live stream?I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a live stream type of person. I find it weird talking to a camera vs. real life human interaction. Plus, nothing can match the adrenaline rush you get when you’re put in front of thousands of people! Please tell us about your recent collaboration with NERVO! We love it!“Supermodel” was such a fun experience to make. I’ve been a fan of NERVO since i started raving in 2011. So, to have a collaboration with them now has been a full 360 for me. I’m happy i can call them friends. When you start a project, what comes first? (Spark of an idea, beat, lyrics, etc.?)I’m a huge sucker for the creative direction part of music. I usually like to come up with a full on concept before I do anything to really paint the picture of the song I’m about to write. Once I have that in mind I start writing the song! Tips for staying inspired/creative when stuck at home?Just like I said before, find what you love and try out something new. You never know what you’ll be drawn to if you don’t try it out for yourself. Any self care/self love advice? How to be comfortable and confident in your own skin?Just stop caring about what people think. That’s the main thing. For so long i tried to put on this persona to fit people’s perception of me & realized that was not making me happy. If people don’t like you for you they don’t deserve to be in your life to begin with. What are you most looking forward to once the stay at home order is over?Honestly, going out for a night of partying at a proper club in NYC and of course getting back up on stage. Does KANDY have a mantra?Let your freak flag fly!
