Six-Year-Old Producer Goes Viral on TikTok For Recreating Girl by The Internet & Kaytranada8/31/2022 Greatness can materialize at any age, and especially with prodigies, it materializes early. Miles Bonham, aka milesmusickid, has been garnering attention on social media since he was four and has amassed 550K followers on Instagram, but his latest video on TikTok, where he has 186.4K followers on an account managed by his parents, is going absolutely viral. The six-year-old plays guitar, keys, drums, and bass, sings, and uses Logic Pro as his DAW of choice. He also has perfect pitch, allowing him to compose and recreate music seemingly without a sweat. His latest video shows him recreating “Girl” by The Internet and Kaytranada with 5.7M views and nearly 1M favorites at time of publishing. Over the course of about two minutes, he’s filmed working on the project, playing keys, working in the DAW adding effects and automation, and even sampling his own voice to, and I quote, “get that Kaytranada sound.” Watch below and follow him here.

It’s not actually been a long time since Tengu’s Virtual Reality EP, which released on Korsakov Music in early June this year. Perhaps it’s the fact that he’s released quite a bit since then that makes it feel it’s past time for another partnership with the Dutch dancefloor label. Dancefloor speaks to dancefloor, after all. Since that powerhouse EP, Tengu has released two tracks on Toronto Is Broken’s YANA Music imprint, a track on UKF’s most recent compilation EP and a collab with fellow Korsakover AL/SO on High Tea’s impressively diverse Jasmine series. All that work and we nonetheless feel it’s high time for another Tengu/Korsakov Music dancefest. Luckily, we’re about to get it. The dual single “Toxic”/”Out the Way” drops this Friday, September 2 and shows Tengu’s own diversity in a way many fans will not expect. The ostensible b-side “Out The Way” features Whiskey Pete and is a tougher, heavier version of Tengu’s usually jumpy style. There’s a lot of sound design that makes this heavier sound possible: he uses an extremely interesting and possibly heretofore unheard echo effect to make the whole track sound like you’re listening to it inside the Thunderdome. With the starburst synths, the phrase-connecting sub synth and Whiskey Pete’s aggressive/bordering on meniacal vox, when the big surprise hits after the break, fans will be well and truly gobsmacked with this track. Our YEDM premiere “Toxic” is more straighforward D&B but there’s a depth to this track that’s surprising as well. That backstage-at-a-bloodsport-arena vibe is back with more echo and cinematic sound design and a number of elements such as the ravey synths, the mixdown and the secondary and tertiary synth chords give a vintage techstep vibe without being too throwback about it. There’s defintely a releating theme to these two tracks with the overall design, and it would be incredibly cool to see them mixed together, perhaps with a cheeky Britney Spears sample mixed in as a nod to OG “Toxic.” Just a thought, DJs. Even though Tengu and Korsakov Music seem like a predictable pairing because of their sharedlove of dancefloor, “Toxic” and “Out the Way” bring sounds and styles that will be surprising for fans of both the artist and the label. Fitting in perfectly with the moody march into fall gigs, there are endless mix and double drop possibilites for these tracks that will make the dancefloor shake like Mad Max is on his way. “Toxic”/”Out the Way” drops on Friday, September 2 on Korsakov music.

But upon closer inspection, there’s more to this track than meets the ear. The soaring piano chords and catchy vocals are reminiscent of early 2000s pop songs, while the powerful violin drops give the track a modern twist. In addition, the lyrics are both clever and relatable, making the song an instant earworm. Whether you’re looking for a feel-good summer anthem or a catchy tune to sing in the shower, Carlo Ratto’s latest drop is sure to please. DJ Carlo Ratto is known for his high-energy releases, and his latest track is no exception, “Talking to You” is a call to arms, a declaration that demands attention. Bouncing off the walls with a tightly wound reverb, colossal rolling kick drums bring a dense dominance to the release. The lead synth careens around the mix like a neon comet, leaving a sparkling trail of melody in its wake. This is audacious dance music that isn’t afraid to show its teeth. It’s the sound of an artist who knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to go for it. And we are all better for Ratto is the artist you want on the decks when you’re looking to get the party started. He’s got a well-earned reputation for getting crowds moving with his high-energy sets, and he knows how to read a room to keep the party going all night long. But it’s not just his dancing feet that make Ratto a top DJ – it’s also his carefully curated tracks. He has a knack for finding the perfect song to fit the mood, whether it’s a hands-in-the-air anthem or a slow jam to get people close on the dance floor.

For some performers like Tchami and Porter Robinson, EZoo brings back fond memories performing in the City. For many new performers this Labor Day weekend will be their debut performance on Randalls Island where the 3-day Zoo extravaganza will commence. We got to sit down with debut EZoo performing artists such as the likes of wunderkind Pauline Herr, the ever-eclectic Rome In Silver, the refreshing bass music innovator sumthin sumthin, and the genre defying capshun all of whom will perform in New York City this Labor Day weekend. We first spoke with Pauline who was leaving for Hawaii the forthcoming day. I caught up with her just before she was about to travel to the airport. How does it feel to be performing in a couple of days in New York City for your EZoo debut over labor day weekend especially at the mainstage!? I’m really excited. I’ve played in New York twice before. The first time was with RL Grime and the second time was with my friend Juelz. For those coming to EZoo that have never been fortunate enough to hear your music live, how would you describe to them a Pauline Herr set? It’s kind of what you would not expect from me. Not super heavy bass but somewhere in between bass music and some really nice melodic music as well. It’s kind of like a journey in a way that shows two different sides of me which are very authentic to me. I like to go hard and I also like my more emotional soft side. It’s kind of like a combination of both. I also really like making edits to throwback songs in my sets. People seem to really enjoy those and I really like those. You just released a new single titled “Addicted” with TWERL can you tell us about the creative process and meaning behind that song? So Addicted is a part of the Ep we made but we made Addicted a single because it sounded like a single. Basically me and my boyfriend have done long distance for about more than a year now and we wrote this Ep when he was visiting me in LA. We finished it up when he went back to Australia which is where he’s from. It’s Called distance and each of the songs are about different situations of being in a long distance relationship. Basically everything is tied to that. The music itself is kind of in its own world. We don’t think it ties to either of our production styles but it’s just something we ended up creating. I got to sit down with Vincenzo Pisciotta aka Rome In Silver who had just completed a session of Yoga down the street from where he lives. Rome in Silver will be playing on Sunday at CloZee’s Odyzey stage takeover. Without further adue we jumped into it. How does it feel to be performing in a couple weeks in New York City for your EZoo debut over labor day weekend? It’s crazy. This will be my first festival in New York. I always remember back in the day how massive EZoo was and how cool it would be to play there and here we are. The last time I played in the city was in February at Terminal 5 but I’ve never done a festival here. How does it feel to drop a remix for CloZee on her Neon Jungle remix album during the pandemic to now performing at her Odyzey stage takeover on Sunday and her after party later that night. Can you tell us about your relationship with Chloe and how she has impacted you as an artist!? She’s probably had the biggest impact on my career as an artist. She really opened the door for me and put a lot of new eyes on my music. She was dropping my music years ago. I remember one day I was in Thailand vacationing with my cousin and she dm’d me on Instagram. It was new years and she was like hey I just want to let you know I’ve been dropping your music at every show. Finally, Is there anything else you would like to tell your fans in anticipation of your EZoo debut? I will be playing a lot of new music. I am going to be testing new music from this new album I’m working on. I have an album set for next year. I’m so hyped for EZoo. New York is always a vibe. I’m also hyped to be doing the b2b with sumthin sumthin at CloZee’s afterparty on Sunday. We sat down with capshun who will be performing a super special b2b with none other than Jon Casey on the opening day of Electric Zoo. How does it feel to be performing in a couple of days in New York City for your EZoo debut over labor day weekend? I’m very excited. Being as it’s one of the biggest festivals I’ve played, and alongside with the homie Jon Casey, I think it’s going to be a really dope time. Excited to have the opportunity! You just announced a new release on WE ARE DEADBEATS VOL. 5 can you tell us more about what fans will get to hear on your newest musical venture supported by Zeds Dead. Oh absolutely. I’ll be playing that out. Lost is one of my favorite releases this year so I’ll be rinsing that out for sure. Maybe twice if they let me! You will be playing back to back with Jon Casey. What can you tell us about your relationship with Jon Casey? Jon and I go back a few years now and of course we have our collab Fever Dream together. We’ve played back to back two or three times and every single time it is electric. We have similar tastes and attitudes in our music so it’s always a really good energy when we are on stage together. I’m hyped to be back up there with him for real. Finally, Is there anything else you would like to tell your fans in anticipation of your EZoo debut? Do you plan on dropping any new ID’s. Will there be any special appearances? Just expect one of the best sets from Jon and I that you have heard. Lot’s of ID’s, lots of crazy mixes and just hella energy. Maybe a guest or two we’ll see haha. I ended off the day speaking with Conrad Woodul aka sumthin sumthin. He had just gotten off a solid day of surfing at the beach. Hey Conrad, how does it feel to be performing in a couple days in New York City for your EZoo debut over Labor Day weekend? What’s going through your head. The classic nerves. I’m a very nervous person but in a good way. When I was first getting into electronic music as a producer per say EZoo was definitely at the top of the bucket list. Now that I get to play it at the coolest venue ever I’m beyond excited. I performed in the city once with Bleep Bloop and the other time with Lost Dogz friends and one time I headlined with TVBOO. For those coming to EZoo that have never been fortunate enough to hear your music live, how would you describe to them a sumthin sumthin set? I would say it’s a perfect blend of really hard hitting stuff mixed in with some softer elements. It’s not going to be just banger after banger after banger there’s going to be some cooldown moments and moments of introspection. But dont get me wrong I like going stupid hard as well. It’s basically a combination of hard heavy bass and some lighter elements. You will be performing at CloZee’s Odyzey stage takeover on Sunday and at her after party later that night. What can you tell us about your relationship with Chloe and how she has impacted you as an artist!? Chloe is just an A1 human being. And in this industry there are a lot of non A1 human beings. So it’s really inspiring to be able to work with her and do the stage takeover. Her inspiration is more of a human quality than the music side of things and it’s really important for me to take that aspect into consideration as well. She’s a really good energy to be around and that speaks volumes past any sort of music production goes. One time I took my dad to see her perform in LA and the mixing was flawless. The set was flawless and from a music standpoint it was really inspiring to see her. My dad was even sitting, he was like no offense that’s the best set ive ever seen. Who are your top 3 artists to watch in 2023? Keep an eye on Snuggles. He’s a member of this crew I’m a part of called Lost Dogz. LYNY obviously. I think he’s going to have a humongous year next year. His consistency is unmatched, same with Jon Casey. I think he’s about to take off and flourish. Finally, Is there anything else you would like to tell your fans in anticipation of your EZoo debut? Do you plan on dropping any new music? Will there be any special appearances? It’s just me going to be up there but I got a grip of new unrealeaed stuff to play out from me and all my friends. We’re gonna shake some booty up there. Show up early! Grab your tickets for EZoo here before they sell out. Or Grab tickets to the official EZoo after parties here.

It’s not even available on Spotify, so every once in a while I’ll head to MrSuicideSheep to listen and cry a little. So when I got word of Hybrid Minds teaming up with Birdy on their new single, “State Lines,” to say I was excited was an understatement. To say it was worth the wait, even moreso. Hybrid Minds are one of the world’s hottest D&B acts right now, looking forward to a headline performance at Webley Arena and a forthcoming EP, Tides: Part 1. “State Lines” gives fans a taste along with the recently-released “Better Now” of what’s to come. Matt Lowe of Hybrid Minds describes the creative process of working with the singer, “We’ve been huge fans of Birdy since we can remember and to finally be able to get into the studio with her was nothing short of amazing, we gel really well creatively and we are hyped people can finally hear the results!” Listen below!

In the time since, he’s become a strong force in the wonky bass world, collaborating with everyone from Liquid Stranger to Shlump to Champagne Drip to Ganja White Night and more. Now, the long awaited and seemingly overdue collaboration with GRiZ is here. Every once in a while, you hear a collaboration that perfectly encompasses both artists’ sounds and styles and creates something wholly new and special. That is “FUNKONAUT,” the first collab between GRiZ and LSDREAM. It’s dreamy, funky, wonky, and incredibly fun from start to finish. The track comes ahead of GRiZ’s Triple Rainbow event at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, WI, where both he and LSDREAM will be performing on September 16th-17th. Check it out below!

For a period of a few months, the EDM community was focused on his out of character actions and beliefs as he shared them frequently on Twitter and Facebook. Many of the things he said were racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and worse, and screenshots of DMs where he would use slurs were common. (Though, he’d made some interesting claims about the EDM “deep state” even earlier.) Even then, many felt that this sort of behavior was not the result of “just” drug use. In a new post from Squnto yesterday, one of his first since March 2021 apart from returning to comment on the Getter vs Excision drama on Twitter, he offered a complete explanation and apology for his actions. “I experienced a 2-3 month long intense schizophrenic & psychotic break,” he wrote, “triggered by a combination of poly substance abuse, complete lack of self care and mental health hygiene, and a plethora of stressors from my personal and professional lives.” He continued, “I said and did an egregious amount of heinous things that I deeply regret and am truly sorry about.” After his episode, he was arrested (but he didn’t spend time in jail), was in a psych ward, and did attend rehab. He says he’s doing much better now. You can read his full post below.

Such is the case with Martron’s latest smash, ‘The Feeling’. Lose yourself with a super fresh vocal topline, grooving layers of percussion and ear catching melody. Martron (real name Marlon Nigro) born in New York and has already showed a musical ambition and talent from very young. Growing up a classically trained musician, Martron discovered his fondness for electronic music in his senior year of high school. Martron crafts a unique yet balanced blend in his music that combines his charming classical roots with his energetic electronic sound.
We had the chance to interview this promising producer and here is what he had to say. Was it hard to come up with the premise for ‘The Feeling?’ Absolutely not. Although “The Feeling” has a bunch of layers, I’ve always wanted to write a song about what it felt like to be loved or in love and to share that with the world. The issue was that I was never able to come up with a track that perfectly described what I was trying to say. This track says everything I want to and more, I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out. Did you make what you thought you would, or did the track take on a life of its own and you ‘followed its lead?’ That’s a great question. Most of the time I never end up making what I thought I would and “The Feeling” is no exception. Once I got the chords down and started putting the vocal chops together, the rest of the writing felt like I was water skiing. I just went with the vibe. Do you have more releases you plan to drop this year? Oh yeah, I have a couple more singles planned and a remix that’s part of a massive package dropping soon. There might be some collabs dropping as well, can’t say with who yet but most of them are very close to ready. Do you have a favorite genre you make? Right now I have to say no, mainly because I like to stay versatile and write a bit of everything. I never wanna be limited to one genre, especially when so much of my growth has come from writing and listening to different types of music. I’ll have days for example when I hear something Chandler Leighton drops and go “Woah I wanna make something like that!”, only to then hear something Moore Kismet drops and go “Woah I wanna make something like that!”, only to then hear something So Dope drops and go “Woah I wanna make something like that!”, only to sit down and make something completely different from what I’ve heard that day! But as long as my sound is still present throughout the track, I’ll write whatever genre I’m feeling at the moment. Can you see yourself releasing an EP or album? Without a doubt, I’ve always wanted to and intend on doing so. It just depends on the right tracks fitting together and the overall feeling I want the project to have. I’ve also been releasing my tracks independently for the most part and would love to put an EP/Album out on a label. Just the thought of having any of my dream labels’ logos on the artwork alone is so cool to me. How long have you been making music for? I’ve been making music my whole life. From obligatory childhood piano lessons to learning flute, then relearning piano, then writing classical music and then producing, it’s been a wild ride. This year marks 10 years of producing, it’s been a long and rewarding journey ever since I opened up Garageband back in 2012. What are you excited about in regards to the future? The biggest thing I’m excited for is my growth and where it leads me. Sometimes I look back at where I was a few years ago and go “holy shit!” After finding my sound and starting to take more care of myself physically and mentally, my music has sounded so much better and it gets better everyday. It’s even starting to get noticed by artists I’ve looked up to for years which is bonkers to me. Things just feel like they’re moving in the right direction and it’s only gonna get better from here.
