Source: The Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAS) Set To Debut In 2022, Voting Closes June 17 Via https://www.youredm.com/2022/05/26/the-electronic-dance-music-awards-edmas-set-to-debut-in-2022-voting-closes-june-17/ Summer is just about here, and one excited we’re really excited about is the debut of ÜLÉ, coming to Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, MO June 24-25. Brothers Austin Laing and Jake Laing are hometown heroes in the event creation space and music scene. They started throwing massive house parties in 2014, and since then, their Project Laing company has made enormous strides. Having a deep desire to push the limitations of what locals in Kansas City can handle, ÜLÉ Music & Arts Festival is their pride and joy, infusing this 2-day event with as much local flavor as they can, from the food vendors and suppliers, to the staff. Their intrinsic desire to contribute to the city that’s given them so much makes the work put in for ÜLÉ a labor of love. The inauguration of ÜLÉ will feature massive headliners Slander on Friday, June 24th and RL Grime on Saturday June 25th. The supporting acts are nothing short of diverse and on-trend. Performing Friday is a a coveted DJ set from Jai Wolf, along with superb singer/songwriter/producer/DJ Elohim, and others. Joining Saturday are sure to be incredible sets from the likes of Ekali, Sebastian Paul, and Jooby Truth, to name a few. Hosted at a location many Kansas City natives will be familiar with, Children’s Mercy Park – recently labeled the #4 highest rated venue in the USA – has been a spot for several renowned festivals including Farm Aid, Flatlands Country Music Festival, and Buzz Beach Ball. Capable of executing cutting-edge audio and world class visual production, there couldn’t be a better spot in Kansas City for these headlining and supporting names to come do what they were born to do. Check out the video below for a taste of what to expect this year. If you don’t have travel plans, you just might want to put this on your itinerary!

With beats and 808s in the vein of Skrillex and Maurauda, energy inspired by Slipknot, and vocals inspired by Napalm Death, Dead Weight fuses the styles of dubstep and death metal to unleash an ominous aggression that bids you to let your emotions run wild and realize how alive you really are. Rather than harming yourself or others, Ollie (as he goes by when the makeup goes on) invites you to let your rage out to Dead Weight, and reminds you that there is no rainbow without the rain.
Now, Dead Weight is back with a monstrous tune, titled “The Swarm” that’s packed to the brim with peak time energy. It’s about as in your face as music can possibly get, with enormous bass wubs and dubstep effects swarming in and out of the mix. It’s easy to imagine this song being a headbanging anthem at festivals all summer long. Here’s what Death Weight had to say about it:

Out tomorrow, May 27 on Blackout Music, Vanity Fair is itself a celebration of music, melody and sound design so the name is doubly fitting. Fans have been excited for the release of Vanity Fair since December when the first teaser track “Hero of My Youth” released. Heavy and strong in its stance as a stand-alone track, “Hero of My Youth” is one of those tracks that’s instantly recognizable by its emotive synths which, with their surging and forceful push or sound at each phrase transition, it’s another apt title for this track, as one can almost feel the chest-beating and pumping up vibes even before the bass drops. An excellent lead-in track that’s already being played everywhere. Also already out are the delightfully chunky “Kinsky,” the space epic “Triumph,” another heavy charger of a track called “Desire” and featuring Flowanastasia, and the glitchy, epic saga collab “Scarface” with label patrons Black Sun Empire. While these tracks have already covered a good cross section of the there’s still loads to discover in the rest of the album. It’s clear the Neonlight guys created Vanity Fair with a theme and a flow in mind, as there’s an overall spacey Tron vibe there and each track leads in to some other part of the journey. Said journey starts with the title track, where Neonlight introduce their audience to all the sensory and sensual synthy delights in store for them. Featuring what sound like analog drums, yet another emotive and evocative main synth line and a whole load of sound design before the beat even drops, it’s an intro to the lush world of Vanity Fair and the neuro overload fans can expect from the whole album. Beautiful, bold as brass and a true stomper all at the same time, it’s only fitting that this first track be the last premiere before the album drops, and luckily YEDM snagged it. Neonlight are always able to balance head-splitting neuro aggression with more melodic and emotional musical composition, and Vanity Fair is certainly a prime example of that rare skill. All the tracks on this album will be able to light up the dancefloor but also evoke passionate feelings at the same time. It seems Neonlight were ready to put out something this epic; now the question is are the fans ready for it? Vanity Fair drops tomorrow, May 27 on Blackout Music. Click here to pre-order or pre-save.

Despite the ‘Vol.1’ in the title, there was a point where we weren’t sure there would even be a volume 2. Thankfully, we’re getting the first single from the sequel this Friday — “Potion” with Dua Lipa and Young Thug. The track art already looks like we’re going to be revisiting the same vibes as the first single, which we’ve been missing terribly. Young Thug returns from “Heatstroke” on the first installment, while Dua Lipa makes her first Funk Wav appearance; though, the two have worked together on the 1.3bn-play hit, “One Kiss.” Check back on Friday!

The jangly synths, neon eyeshadows and Flock of Seagulls hairstyles that typified the 80s pop scene weren’t even a hundred percent serious at the time. In an era fueled by cocaine and Diet Coke, we can’t exactly blame modern artists for poking a little fun at the era that brought us Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and Van Halen’s “Jump.” That said, even the eye-rolliest of indie pop denizens can’t quit the 80s, especially when it comes to those classic early synths. Moog or Moog adjacent, full of mid-range pop cachet and causing uncontrollable nostalgic flashbacks to the mall, the world of Tron or somewhere in between, 80s pop has endured because it’s fun and there’s a lot to be done with those synths. That’s where we find Emery Pulse and her second single “Gift Box”: at the corner of synths, fun, pop and a little bit of nuance. Emery Pulse only has two tracks out thus far, with her 2018 debut single “Show Me Who You Are” a musically balladified version of Tiffany’s cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now” and definitely on the bubble gum spectrum. It was clear with “Show Me Who You Are” that Emery Pulse loves her synths and is an unabashed 80s fan, but “Gift Box,” which came out late last year, is the full 80s package. With a lyrical double meaning so strong that it’s almost graphic (“reach in, the tissue’s paper thin”? Okay, Pandora’s blushing at this point), “Gift Box” captures more than the bubble gum nostalgia of the 80s but also its cheeky sense of fun. There’s no need to be satirical of the synths from Emery’s perspective; most of the music was already a parody of itself. Meanwhile that 80s musical aesthetic is jacked up to the max in this track with even more synth layers, some poppy funk guitars and bass and – what 80s pop song could be complete without it – a rip roarin’ and somewhat out of place Richard Marx-style guitar solo by Chris Camozzi. And, starburst fade at the end…that’s a wrap. One can almost see the Michael Bolton fist grab with that outro and we bet Emery and her crew loved creating that starburst without any pretense. For those of use who grew up in the 80s and knew that a good song didn’t end without a starburst fade, the nostalgia of Emery Pulse and “Gift Box” is so real, we can smell the wood paneling in our parents’ basements as we rushed down the stairs with out 3rd bowl of latch key Corn Pops so we wouldn’t miss the next 80s rocker after the commercial on MTV (back when they actually played music videos). That’s how sincere Emery Pulse is with her 80s pop: no “indie” or “electro” tags needed here to justify. Emery Pulse thinks these sounds (and their tongue-in-cheek, not-so-subtle lyrics) can endure all on their own, thank you, and if “Gift Box” is anything to go by, she’s right. “Gift Box” is out now and can be streamed on Spotify.

FIGURE’s immaculate sound design matched with Lizzy Jane’s vocal prowess make for a memorable pairing that’s both soul-grabbing and chill-inducing from the very start. “Take Control” truly does just that, as we find ourselves so deeply invested within mere seconds. The track opens up with lush, hymn-like pads that soon melt into heartfelt, yet haunting lyrics before the track picks up momentum and drops into a stimulating run of metallic hits. With varying forces at play, it’s ear pleasing to hear how they all come together so seamlessly. “Take Control” dips into another theatrical moment before coming back for round two. There are times when FIGURE’s relentless, thrashing drops seem to battle Lizzy’s knockout vocals head on. For this reason, the arrangement keeps us engaged until the very end. FIGURE reveals how the collab came to be: I met Lizzy at my first show back from the Covid shutdown. Some friends and I were in the green room listening to her set and she started singing one of her tracks. Right away put “hit Lizzy Jane up for collab” in my notes. Fast forward a couple months later .. I saw the note and immediately went to my studio to start on a track that had big musical elements but also a drop that would fit in our sets. Sent her the session , she sent it back very soon after.. and BAM! This one came together very naturally. I hope you all enjoy the track! Lizzy Jane shares her perspective on the release: It was such a full circle moment to have the opportunity to work with an absolute legend who has paved the way for so many producers today. This song came together so naturally. As I definitely have a unique voice, we pulled from all different types of music for inspiration on this one and it all blended together so well. The cinematic elements and crazy sound design paired with my vocals fully brought this haunting song to life. I can’t wait to play this one during festival season this year! We’re honored to premiere “Take Control” ahead of its release tomorrow (May 24th). Listen here and link up with both artists below!
