With energy at an all-time high for the return of live events, Sullivan King took the stage at Sunset Music Festival in Tampa over the weekend. One of the standout productions from his performance was undoubtedly this collaboration between him and Excision. The video below shared via r/edm exposes a healthy portion of the track, complete with heavy rock/metal influence and relentless bass drops. Blending genres like this is truly an art that Sullivan King has mastered. Previously, the bass music superstars teamed up on “Wake Up” and “Fight Through The Pain” in 2018. More recently, “Unbound,” in 2021 as part of Sullivan King’s 7-track To the Grave EP. Sunset Music Festival was ripe for collaborative IDs, including this Illenium x Said the Sky collab and another between Seven Lions x Andrew Bayer. Sullivan King x Excision – ID

This unreleased gem between Seven Lions and Andrew Bayer has captured our attention with its divine, melodic grandeur. Enchanting vocals are matched with an entrancing groove as the producers find their stride together and unleash absolute magic. In July, Andrew Bayer will join Seven Lions during his headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Whether or not the song will be released by then is unknown, but regardless, fans are in for a treat. Also debuted at Sunset Music Festival, the new and buzzworthy Illenium x Said the Sky collaboration, “Crazy Times.” Forthcoming on Illenium’s upcoming album, Fallen Embers, the track can be heard here.

In recent years we’ve slowly but surely seen more women being recognized in electronic/dance music, with more than ever ranking on last year’s DJ Mag Top 100 list and Charlotte de Witte topping the Alternative Top 100. Even so, 12 out of 100 is a staggering indicator that we have a long way to go. Meanwhile, Stacey Lee’s UNDERPLAYED documentary has offered an empowering and hopeful, yet at times troubling, glimpse into what it’s like for women in the dance realm. On or off the stage, it’s become abundantly clear the challenges we as women face are no match for our passion and determination. With that being said, allow us to introduce the leading ladies of WAKAAN — Chloe Suit, Emily Mitchell, and Kaelyn Gray. These women have defied all odds in a male-dominated industry to not only achieve their personal goals, but pave a way for aspiring women in music to do the same. Working respectively as Marketing Director, Director of Merchandise, and Assistant Product Manager, Chloe, Emily, and Kaelyn believe “women deserve to be in the music industry just as much as anyone else.” Their unique paths serve as inspiration, along with their mission to cultivate a more accepting and inclusive space for all artists, regardless of how they identify. Read on as Chloe, Emily and Kaelyn talk about their gigs at WAKAAN and SSKWAN, the importance of amplifying voices of women, and advice for those just starting out their music careers. Please, describe your roles at WAKAAN and explain what a typical work day is like…Chloe: Marketing Director and assist with Label Management. On a typical work day I listen to demos, submit records, work with our distributor and DSPs for releases, create and roll out Marketing Plans for each release; including content creation, press, activations, contests, etc and run all social media for the Liquid Stranger and the labels. Lastly, I handle all tour and takeover marketing for Liquid Stranger and the labels as well where I work on advertisements, paid promotions, partnerships and more! Emily: I am the Director of Merchandise for Liquid Stranger, WAKAAN, and SSKWAN. I handle everything from design ideas, garment sourcing, building out our webstore, customer service and fulfillment. I don’t think there is a day that is ever the same. One day I can come in and focus on design ideas and mood boards. The next I can be completely consumed by customer service and fulfilling orders. While some days are dedicated completely to research and development. I love that most days are never the same! Kaelyn: Assistant Product Manager — I collect information for upcoming releases to help with contracts. I also will be taking on press and working with outlets to lock in premieres and coverage for upcoming releases. I just started with WAKAAN this month and extremely grateful and excited for this new opportunity. What first drew you to WAKAAN and how did the opportunity to work for the label present itself?Chloe: The music was not only different and unique, but so was the community and the artists that WAKAAN was building and working with! LUZCID actually introduced me to the team about 3 years ago, where I was brought on for social media and Marketing. Emily: I was currently working merch gigs and loved being on the road, my friend Champagne Drip actually brought the opportunity to me and asked if I was available for the Liquid Stranger INFINITY tour! Kaelyn: I’ve always loved the community and investment WAKAAN puts into their artists. Originally I had seen that Optimystic Group, the management company for Liquid Stranger, was hiring, and when I interviewed with Chloe, she brought the opportunity for the label. Most rewarding / most challenging aspects of the job?Chloe, Emily & Kaelyn: Being apart of a community where we get to see the releases and merch come to life at our events and supporting and watching artists grow. The most challenging aspect of the job is having to balance everyone’s needs across the board from fans to artists to managers and agents — the music doesn’t start and stop with the artist. Can you speak on the importance of amplifying voices of women in electronic music?Chloe, Emily & Kaelyn: It’s important because we still face issues in our society where women are seen less equal to men. Giving women a platform and supporting them gives them the opportunity and reinforcement to “break the norms,” be in leadership roles, and change the discrepancy or dynamic. Words of advice for women starting out their career in music?Chloe, Emily & Kaelyn: Always take on new opportunities to learn, grow, connect and be the best possible version of yourself, in your work and personally. Stay true to yourself and do not let intimidation get the best of you — Women deserve to be in the music industry just as much as anyone else! Anything else you want to share? (Experiences, ideas, hopes, dreams, etc.)Chloe, Emily & Kaelyn: Our goal here at WAKAAN and SSKWAN is to provide community for everyone through the vehicles of Music and art. All walks of life are welcomed with open arms. We go to work each day with the goal of being better than the day before and helping to grow the artists that call this their label home. Without our fans continual support in sharing our releases, purchasing records, buying tickets or simply telling a friend — none of this would be possible. We hope to continue this journey for many more years to come! This article was first published on Your EDM.

That obviously didn’t happen, but then in January this year, he finally shared that the album was complete. Now, after performing at UCL Final Opening Ceremony, he says it’s actually “album time.” The performance featured a number of fan-favorite tracks from across the years, including his collaborations with Selena Gomez and Khalid. But fans are even more excited for the prospect of new music from the helmeted artist.
A rumored leaked tracklist is currently making the rounds on Twitter, showing possible collaborations with DJ Sliink, Sippy, Subtronics, Peekaboo, TroyBoi, Juicy J & Eptic, Nitti Gritti, and the recently released Carnage collab, “Back In Time.” Whether this tracklist turns out to be true remains to be seen, but if we’re thinking about his “Day 1’s,” then there could be some merit to it.
Stay tuned to find out more about the album as information comes up!

The following days, he also dropped “Some Creature” and “With No Eyes,” the second and third tracks sequentially on the EP. Today, the full project is out and as he previously promised, it blows NAPALM out of the water. Six tracks of intense bass, wild sound design, and ear splitting synths paint a devilish picture throughout the EP. Check it out below!

The deep cut embraces a sick and heartfelt pop/trap atmosphere, with heavy bass, soft melodics, swelling synths and piano chords that hit just right. The instrumental elements glue together, setting the track’s intention as Njomza delivers a powerful vocal performance. Previously we heard these two together on “Pretty Bye Bye,” a smoldering, OWSLA-released track between Skrillex, Team EZY and Njomza. The song, released in 2016, still plays out brilliantly and is definitely worth revisiting — listen here. “over and done” and “winter in atlanta” featuring Russ serve as a standout singles off Njomza’s forthcoming 7-track LIMBO EP, due out June 18.

That early, a lot of fans wouldn’t be able to see him play because they would still be going through security during his set. The fans made such a fuss that even Disco Donnie himself was posting memes like this while seeing what he could do to appease everyone.
Then, finally, 8 days before the event was due to begin, they managed to find a slot to fit in a second Trivecta set for 6pm on the smaller Cool Down, Get Down tent.
Now, in retrospect, this was probably not as good an idea as one might think. Judging by how many people wanted to show up for his main stage set when the festival was just opening, how would they be able to fit in so many people in a smaller stage? And that’s precisely what ended up happening. The support for Trivecta was so tremendous that after playing just one song, the stage had to be shut down/evacuated for security purposes.
And THEN, to top things off, Trivecta and Seven Lions played a special b2b afterparty set at the Ritz, where Disco Donnie promised “5k per word that Jeff speaks on the mic at the after party (up to 25k),” because he never speaks on the mic. And boom.
What a special first day for SMF, it all begins again today with sets from Rezz, Slander, Swarm, 12th Planet, LSDREAM, Champagne Drip, Green Velvet, Destructo, and more.

The stunning track called “Crazy Times” marks their most recent of many collabs together. As footage of the song makes its rounds on social media, Illenium has clued fans in on the track title and revealed it’s coming soon as part of his fourth album, Fallen Embers. So far, we’ve heard five singles from the album — “Nightlight,” “Paper Thin,” “Hearts on Fire,” “First Time,” and “Sideways.” Longtime collaborators and friends Illenium and Said the Sky previously teamed up on “Where’d You Go,” “Sad Songs” with Annika Wells, “Falling In” featuring Mimi Page, “Rush Over Me” with Seven Lions & HALIENE and more. Watch the Said the Sky debut of “Crazy Times” below — and get ready for Fallen Embers, due out July 16.

Now, the ASOT mix album series continues with A State Of Trance 2021 — out today. Featuring nearly 40 awe-inspiring cuts, the latest ASOT mix radiates the feeling of togetherness we’ve been craving for over a year. Mix 1 / Disc 1 titled “On The Beach” takes listeners through calming, transcending waves of trance. Mix 2 / Disc 2 titled “In The Club” turns the energy up several notches starting with Armin’s ASOT 1000 Anthem “Turn The World Into A Dancefloor.” The mix boasts collaborations between Armin van Buuren and Maor Levi, Tom Staar and Giuseppe Ottaviani, a fresh Rising Star Remix and exclusive new tracks from creators such as Alexander Popov, Aly & Fila, AVIRA, Craig Connelly and more. Armin van Buuren shares of the milestone: I can hardly believe we’re already at the eighteenth edition in this mix album series. A lot of artists – myself included – had a lot of fun in the studio this year, and the amazing output reflects that. It was especially tough to decide which tracks would make it into the final mix, but I am very pleased with how it all turned out. Leaves me to tell you to turn up that volume and enjoy the full length mix as a whole! Listen here! A State of Trance 2021 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)
