Say what you will about GORDO, pka Carnage, but his philanthropic ventures in Central America are well-documented. After previously opening his first learning centre in Guatemala, GORDO heads back to the country he grew up in as he partners up with Seeds of Learning for the second time to open Edificio Taraka in Nuevo Eden, Guatemala, making this the third learning center he’s funded in the region since the first opened in Nicaragua in 2014. Again working alongside established partner organization Seeds of Learning, a non-profit dedicated to improving prospects for young people living in rural areas of Central America, Edificio…
So often we find our favorite new music from shows or events, through mixes and podcasts, radio play, etc. A lot of music, however, doesn’t so easily fit into those types of settings and are made to feel something… feel anything. Such is the case with the new single from SIPPY and Dani King, released last week on Alison Wonderland’s FMU Records, “Feel Anything.” If you had to put it in a box, you would probably call it dubstep — however, it’s not like the synth/bass-heavy, loud, screeching sounds that have been made popular the past couple years. The bass…
It’s been an incredible year so far, with so many OG artists announcing and releasing new projects, as well as many of the artists we highlighted on our latest Artists To Watch list this past December throwing out some absolutely stellar new tracks. On that list was So Sus, who just released their first track of the year, a collaboration with Indian/New Zealand artist theajsound, “Reunion.” As So Sus themself is from Zimbabwe and now lives in Canada, this is truly a global release. According to the press release: “Reunion” is a song celebrating So Sus’ reunion with their partner.…

There is little media coverage available on the Kiki Scene from a musical perspective, nearly nonexistent coverage from within the EDM community. Upon listening to the opening of “Walk Away”, (a Pop single turned Vogue Remix submitted to us last week) and reading what one rising local Pop artist has to say about the matter, it is quite the story. YourEDM has gotten the pleasure to view what could be New York City’s most fascinating underground subculture, through the lens of one of the most heartfelt submissions we’ve ever received. ChRZA, once a novice to Ball Culture just 5 years…
When I first started really digging into dubstep around 2010, one of the first songs that I found was “Lines In Wax” by Flux Pavilion. Even before “I Can’t Stop” or his iconic “Gold Dust” remix with Doctor P, I fell in love with the flow from Foreign Beggars, the gritty synths and bass, all of it. Throughout the years, Flux has remained a pillar of the dubstep community, even as he transitioned into different material with his latest album, .wav. However, we already saw him returning to his Tesla-era sound with his previous single, last year’s “Technicolour Psychic Vision.” Now, we…
Last year, Ray Volpe featured on Together, the most recent EP from MitiS released on Ophelia. Yesterday, he made his solo debut on the label with “Meant To Be Lonely” with Donna Tella. Ray Volpe’s track “Laserbeam” took the entire EDM scene by storm last year as the most-played track at EDC Vegas with support from Skrillex, Excision and more. The track is currently trending on TikTok with millions of views and over 17,000 videos. The dubstep act just finished his debut headline tour with multiple sell out dates. But life is all about growth and experimentation; for his solo debut…
From irresistible trap bangers to an assortment of heavy dubstep and bass music tracks, Bassassin is carefully crafting an intricate discography that should be on everyone’s radar. Hailing from San Diego, he graduated from the Musicians Institute with a focus on Music Production and Music Business back in 2013, and has been tirelessly working towards crafting a unique sound and brand ever since. In an oversaturated market, Bassassin knows well that it takes a lot of work for an artist to stand out, and he’s up to the task. A versatile producer and DJ, Bassassin combines elements from hip-hop, dubstep,…
Future Sound of Egypt, the label from Aly & Fila, made history in 2017 when they, Armin van Buuren, and Paul Thomas played sets illuminated against the Great Pyramids of Egypt for the first time. Artists have played at worldwide iconic sites many times before, like Paul Oakenfold at Stonehenge or David Guetta at the Eiffel Tower. There’s something about dance music that seems to bring people from all cultures together (it’s also easier to travel with a pair of decks and a mixer than a full band). In less than two months, another legend will travel to Egypt for…
I got a text from Sullivan King two days ago, “YOOOO you hitting that A7X forum show or what?” Of course, I’d already bought my tickets and responded with a screenshot of my seats and, “You fuckin know it.” On a personal level, I’ve known and have been covering Sullivan King since 2014 — I remember walking into Icon Collective, from which he’d just graduated, in 2015, for our first sit-down interview. We bonded over our appreciation of metal, especially Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu. I almost got my first tattoo of his signature on my chest (after he’d actually ripped…
