A true multi-instrumentalist with a tenure working with top names in the business, Chris Null, aka Obli, has spent years of his career touring with the likes of Sonny Moore a.k.a Skrillex, and playing guitar for GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar Julia Michaels. His origins in alternative, indie, electronic, rock and pop music have set the foundation for him to build this current solo-project. Inspired by the likes of Four Tet, Bonobo, and Joy Orbison, obli accesses a cinematic level of emotion as he layers vocal samples above handcrafted living and breathing soundscapes. Now, he’s released a glistening new single “Deeper” via ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective imprint that’s gleaming with uplifting melodies, a soulful vocal sample, and a mesmerizing beat that locks you into the aura of the single the whole way through. Produced with intention surrounding the spontaneity of music creation, “Deeper” is the first track off of a forthcoming project on Foreign Family Collective that’s centered around initial inspiration, something we cannot wait to hear more of.

Given the setting of the performance, this year’s mix intro was done by Bruce Buffer, the official octagon announcer for UFC events. The hour-long mix, for a while now, isn’t as Halloween-themed as some of the earliest mixes, but you can catch samples from various horror or suspense IPs throughout, like the X-Files theme at the beginning. Check it out below and keep it on repeat all weekend as you plan and execute your Halloween festivities.

Since the release of his first Actual Life album during the pandemic, interest in the producer/DJ has skyrocketed across the dance music spectrum, with many festivals that booked him unable to keep up with the hype and placing him too early in the day or on an inappropriate stage. Still, his headline shows continue to sell out at an astonishing rate when much of the music industry is struggling to move tickets at all. “I’ve been in enormously changed by all the messages I’ve read,” Fred told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, “and seeing people at shows and the way people have kind of let the music in. It’s totally changed me and I’m immeasurably grateful for it. all I can say is, it’s just totally changed the way in which I make music, which is all I do. So it’s changed my life. I’m just very, very grateful. And you can see it when you play shows.” Today, he released the third installment in his album series, Actual Life 3. And we’ll say this right at the front, no, “Rumble” isn’t here. But we do get eight new singles, as well as the four previously released ones, not including the 11-second introduction. Once again, Fred seems to tap into something subconscious in his fans, whether a void in the current musical landscape or a feeling beneath the surface, pushed deep, deep down following a global traumatic event. Either way, the hype behind his music doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon and as we see him continue to dominate stages and lineups, his legacy already seems firmly cemented. Listen to Actual Life 3 below. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Their passion for music and production continued throughout college, where they eventually rekindled their friendship during the pandemic. Upon countless phone calls and demos sent back and forth, they decided to meet up in Phoenix (where Dana currently lives) to get some studio time. The more they created together, the more they realized it was time to join forces and form a house duo. Thus, Sutton Place was born. Being Chicago born and raised, the name “Sutton Place” came from a living community in the city. Nick explains “this idea of community matched their vision for our brand and how we want to bring people together through our music. Our attraction to euphoric vocals and melodies has always come natural to us, but we have always been enticed by driving bass lines and smacking drums. When you marry these elements, you get a Sutton Place tune.” Now, the boys are back with a sizzling new single titled “The Prince of Broadway” that truly stands apart in so many ways. Driven by a thundering house beat, Sutton Place masterfully weave in an industrial sounding vocal sample and chord stabs, reminiscent of early Daft Punk and Justice, into a high octane anthem ready to light up the club circuit.
It’s clear to see these two have a bright future ahead of them and we cannot wait to hear more from them. Listen below!

Inspired by historic artists like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Frank Sinatra, Matroda received classical training in keyboard, drums, and violin. Merging this knowledge with unique basslines, vocal chops, and other house components, this young producer has forged his own signature sound. He’s performed everywhere from EDC Las Vegas to Nocturnal Wonderland, with sold-out shows in LA and Ibiza along the way. Today, we are thrilled to premiere the latest single from Matroda, titled “Temperature”, that feels like another instant hit. Laced with a thumping beat, swinging tech house groove with old school piano stabs, Matroda weaves in an infectious vocal sample who’s melody will get instantly stuck in your head. Listen below!

Luckily, the single is now available on DSPs and is out today with a new music video. The official video for the track follows the misadventures of a trio of motivational speakers – acolytes of a fictional “Down The Line” movement, helmed by Alison – as they try to inspire a lackluster crowd. It was directed by Alison’s frequent collaborator, Prad Sen (The Avalanches), and produced by Fiona Dunn. “We need the dark times in order to get to the light,” explains Alison Wonderland. “We need that experience to know that it’s going to be okay one day. The track is me acknowledging that I was alone during a difficult time but knew that I was going to get through it and be okay, down the line. We’re all going through a dark time right now, and sometimes we need to be reminded that it’s going to be okay. No matter what happens, we will be okay.” Watch the video below.

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 harm yourself or others, Ollie (as he goes by when the makeup goes on) invites fans to let their rage out to Dead Weight, reminding them that there is no rainbow without the rain. He recently released a blistering new single titled “Convulsing” that is unbelievably electrifying. He fuses together spine chilling vocals with thunderous bass and heavily distorted guitars in a wondrous way, solidifying it as a true head banging anthem. We had a chance to ask Dead Weight a few questions about his project and this single. Enjoy and listen to “Convulsing” below! “When no one is there for you, music is there for you, and I’m there for you.” Where did this message come from and what does it mean to you?
When did you get into electronic music? When did you realize you wanted to fuse hard rock and dubstep together?
Who are a few artists you look up to right now both as artists and also at spreading positive messages like yours?
What’s in store for the rest of the year/next year for you?
This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Dead Weight Drops Explosive Dubstep Single “Convulsing” Via https://www.youredm.com/2022/10/27/dead-weight-drops-explosive-dubstep-single-convulsing/ It’s wild, really, that the 808 beatmaker, invented in over 40 years and only manfactured for a small window from 1980-1983, still manages to inspire of musicians and producers. Even with all the modern techniques, programming, ease of access, et al., the Roland 808 is still one of music’s most coveted pieces of gear. It’s not just for its rarity, either. The unique sounds of the 808 have simply not been replicated lo these four decades, and the number of ways it can be used in programming and production is still capturing the imaginations of many an artist. The legend of the 808 is where we find Canadian indie artist, rx1f. As a composer, music tech enthusiast and sometime punk rocker, rx1f fell in love with the 808 and its capabilities via a documentary on the iconic programming kit. He decided to re-vamp not only his style and moniker, but also an entire album using the 808, amongst other things, to put a futuristic and decidedly electronic spin on his previous punk rock work.
The full album, r8c180, is due out in mid-November. The first teaser track, “Accidents,” delivers what the semi-reclusive artist promises, as it opens with a clip from a space launch and the 808-style starburst sound design we all know and love. Once the synths and supporting production come in, it becomes clear to anyone who knows that kit that pretty much all of this track was programmed on an 808. It’s astonishing that artists are still able to get so much out of this one machine. Style-wise, “Accidents” is, indeed, very spacey, with an obvious vintage flare and, if we were to put a genre tag on it, it’s a combination of vitage electro-pop and post punk. The post punk, or “maximalist punk” bit comes mainly from the vocals, sung by rx1f himself. With a sort of smoky, Daniel Ash-from-Love-and-Rockets-and-Bauhaus quality, we can see the post punk/synth pop tie-in here. With all that 80s vintage style, “Accidents” still plays quite modern, however, and the juxtaposition of very human vocals and “music for robots,” as the artist himself puts it, is likely the reason. There’s a soul and a touch of relatable ennui, as the vocals call out to the void of space, that’s quite relatable for modern listeners. The video for “Accidents,” dropped on rx1f’s YouTube page just a few days ago, reinforces that human/machine interaction and lends even more substance to that need for connection epxressed in the vocals. It seems it’s not just the 808 that fascinates rx1f, but the paradox between thinking and feeling, technology and emotion. Is there a balance to strike? Will technology facilitate humanity or is it bound to destroy us? It’s a question rx1f will likely explore more in the upcoming r8c180, though the answer continues to elude most of us. At least we know the 808 will always be on our side. “Accidents” is out now and can be streamed on Spotify or purchased on Bandcamp. Keep an eye on these platforms and rx1f’s YouTube channel for the forthcoming r8c180. This article was first published on Your EDM.

Dan and Alana got married and had their first child in 2018, the same year they also debuted their own side project, The Night. Joseph Ray also began releasing solo material on Anjunadeep that same year. Even with the group spreading apart, Nero as a group continued to produce new music and announced their third album was complete in August 2021. (No news on that since, however.) But we could very well hear some new material soon as the full trio are poised to reunite for the first time since 2017 for a live show supporting deadmau5 at Red Rocks in Colorado on the we are friend5 tour. They’ll be playing two nights, November 4 and 5. Tickets are still available here if you want a chance at being the first to hear new Nero music.
