When I came to earth the first thing I wanted to do was create a banger we can all get down to. Hope you guys dig this wonky wobbly house track I whipped up.” – Wobblebug Alongside the release, the WEB3 side of the project will be rolling out a creative upgrade to existing NFT art, which will also be the basis for the accompanying “WOBBLEDRUG” animated music video showing Wobblebug and his friends making their way to a music festival.

Sherm is a key player on the Hood Politics team, running A&R duties while also maintaining one of the top EDM podcasts, ‘Sherm In The Booth’.

Her ethnic Sri Lankan influence comes through clear as day with punchy drums and those instantly recognizable synths and strings. It’s a little disappointing the song is only two minutes, but as streaming is becoming more constrained by social media platforms like TikTok (though this doesn’t sound much like a TikTok song), we’re not particularly surprised. As far as Skrillex is concerned, it’s clear he’s still working on music (that Fred again.. collab is still coming), just not really his own. Or, at least, not that expeditiously. It’s been just about three years since he first said he was working on multiple albums, and he said it again just this past May — though, that post has now been deleted. It’s almost an inside joke at this point that we’re not going to get another album from him. But the general consensus is that, even if we do, it won’t be like the Skrillex we once knew. ‘Beep’ is out everywhere now. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Today, he unveils the third single from the project, “Stop Thinking” with Lights. Digging more into his trance side, with opening chords that invoke memories of “Language,” “Stop Thinking” makes use of the tried and true method of hiding melancholy lyrics within a bright and exciting melody. The song opens with someone in a relationship pleading with their partner, thinking about who they were and who they thought the other was, when they first starting pursuing something outside themselves. At first, the tone is more exasperated and tired. Frustrated, even. As things progress, it turns into becoming comfortable with who you are and knowing that if the other person can’t accept that, it’s just not meant to be. Not in a regretful way, but proud of growth and moving forward. Beyond The Veil is set for arrival on Seven Lions’ own Ophelia Records imprint on October 21. Pre-save the album here.

Britt Lari [PROXIMITY]9/30/2022 At only 19 years old, breakout DJ/producer Leondis is already making waves, since his remix of The Chainsmokers’ comeback single “High” went viral on TikTok. After exploding on the platform, the Leondis remix went on to officially release through Disruptor Records and garner support from The Chainsmokers live, as the remix of choice in their sets, including the Super Bowl LVI Tailgate Kickoff, EDC Mexico. Prior to his “High” remix, Leondis also provided remixes of Cheat Codes & AJ Mitchell’s “Hate You + Love You,” and has received additional support from David Guetta, Steve Aoki, ILLENIUM, Loud Luxury, Dzeko, and more.

The two producers’ previous collaboration on “Beat Like This” was released on Martin Garrix’s label STMPD Records and was an instant hit and is still a club and festival favorite for most DJs. Now, the two have come together once again for a high energy, tech house single “Killer Bee” featuring the sly vocals of Chyra. The groove is insatiable, as each producer offers their own unique sounds and capabilities to ensure this to be yet another heater for the dance floors.

As the festival has expanded, both in the artists it has invited and in physical space, adding a couple new stages since its first few years, variety has become tantamount. Bass heads will undoubtedly travel to Ohio every year for their favorite artists, but given the restricted scope of the festival, recycling acts was always a risk. This year, plenty of genre-bending artists were booked, including a bit of a curveball with Madeon. The French artist is currently in his Good Faith Forever era, which, while it might have some dark moments, is a far cry from a “bass” artist. Still, his set was packed as he took the stage at Wompy Woods on Saturday night and from the first track, those in attendance must have known that not everything was as they’d anticipated. Over the course of an hour, Madeon burned through 58 tracks including mashups and live mixes with names like Kayzo, G Jones & Eprom, Eliminate, Champagne Drip, ISOxo, Shadient, Deathpact, Hudson Mohawke (not that song), and more. Of course, he still had to throw in some of his own hits like “Icarus (VIP Mix),” “No Fear No More,” and “Heavy With Hoping.” Check out the full set below!

Part of the original guard for Circus Records, along with Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, FuntCase, and Roksonix, Cookie’s impact on the world of music, though most particularly bass music, is indefatigable. Today, on the two year anniversary of his death, Circus Records has shared a posthumous release from Cookie, with Flux Pavilion and Koven, “I’m Delighted.” The song is almost painfully beautiful, with heart-wrenching guitar riffs and Katie Boyle’s now instantly-recognizable, powerful voice. “Tony loved cinematic music and always wanted to write it, that was the concept behind this record,” said Flux Pavilion. “He had been struggling with writing, so I was like ‘what do you want to do, let’s just do that.'” He continued, “The craziest thing for me is the emotion, when Katie [Koven] sent that vocal, both Tony and I were blown away. Then to come back and work on it posthumously, it became an incredibly deep and meaningful process for Katie, Max and myself. Shortly before he passed away, the last text Tony sent me was replying about this track, he said ‘gorgeous, analogue as f*ck.’ When we came back to finishing the song, that was all the guidance we needed to finish it off the way he would have wanted.” “This project has been very emotional and special to us,” shared Koven. “Since this track was originally started as a collaboration with Flux and Cookie, then Flux came to us with the idea of finishing the track as a tribute to Tony (Cookie) we were very touched. We are honoured to have worked on this track in his memory.” Circus Records said, “To finally release ‘I’m Delighted’ is a bittersweet moment, it’s tough for all to go back to a piece of music that was born in the final few months of our friend and brother’s journey. But it is a wonderful, emotionally charged song and the world deserves to hear it. Flux Pavilion & Koven were very clear that their royalties for the song should go to Oliver, Cookie’s son, Circus Records will do the same.” Indeed, profits and all artist shares will be donated to Cookie Monsta’s son, Oliver.

The trio of artists who comprise VIKINGS don’t see their home city’s rather un-balmy climes as a deterrent to writing and releasing three fun, summery synth pop anthems, however. In fact, thumbing a nose at the cold and drawing out the summer may have been exactly the motivation for their dual single, “Talines”/”Swimming at NIght,” which dropped in mid-August and contains two remixes, making it sort of an EP. With mild Hot Chip-meets-Nick De La Hoyde vibes, these tracks are also a bit of a 180 from their last album, and apparently it’s for a reason. 2018’s obviously Tron-and-new wave-inspired album Electric Life could be described more as indie pop, with its darker tones, varied EDM beats (including rave trap and future bass) and dream pop-like hooks. This album saw quite a bit of pop success, especially with the Uber-popular “Run,” which bacame TikTok famous and was featured in rotation at Forever 21 stores. Can’t get more pop than that, can you? As VIKINIGS tell it, however, it wasn’t pop success that caused them to change their sound to the uber-pop of “Tanlines” and “Swimming….” It was a breakup. There aren’t really any details as to te reason VIKINGS’s hiatus, other than, of course, the pandemic. It doesn’t actually sound like they stopped working on music during that time.
The “forthcoming songs” to which the band refer in this quote are now out in the form of the singles and their remixes, but one gets the imporession that this new sound will continue to develop thus. Whatever the reason for the change, there is still a nice, subtle indie pop core so fans of VIKINGS need not worry about a complete style shift; we’re not looking at 2010s Hanson vs 90s Hanson here. Fans will likely still enjoy the tracks if they liked the band’s first two albums and their 2017 EP, Animal Kingdom. So what makes “Swimming at Night” and “Tanlines” so different from prevois work by VIKINGS? The style and heavy synth is still there, obviously, as well as clean production. It’s just generally more upbeat, and with these tracks the trio have really embraced that vein or pop that ran through previos iterations. The original mixes of both songs are 100% pop construction, beat and vocals, to the point where it borders on bubble gum. “Tanlines,” specifically, is Harry Styles-level pop. A bit of soul, a bit of funk but really all pop. “Swimming at NIght,” on the other hand, has a more indie pop vibe, a’la Cut Copy or Hot Chip, a’la a deeper key in the verse. The “Tanlines” remix is by ASH HALO, another project VIKINGS’s synth programmer Dave McNabb has with fellow Winnepegian artist known as Saratonin, of the well-known bass duo Akylla. This version plays around with production more than the original, and the synths are a bit deeper to match the heavier bass, creating a slightly more modern vibe. It’s not EDM, but it’s adjacent and less new wave-influenced. The “Swimming at Night” remix is actually an edit that’s shortened the original track significantly. This highlights the pop value of the track as well. Since “Tanlines” and “Swimming at Night” are technically teasers for the next album from VIKINGS, it will see if their “new sound” will permeate the whole album and inform all their work going forward, or if they still have some more indie pop tricks up their sleeves. The biggest question there is are they now full poptronica or will they, like thier previous work, do a lttile genre hopping into more solid EDM territory? Guess fans will have to wait for the album to find out. “Tanlines” and “Swimming at Night” and their remixes are out now and can be streamed on Spotify and Bandcamp.
