SoLonely started recording music in his bedroom when he was 17 years old, and the now 22-year-old singer/rapper/songwriter has amassed a whopping 70M+ global streams. Having dealt with loss and mental health, SoLonely uses music as an outlet to express himself. Providing a sense of self therapy, his hope is that his music to not helps himself, but more importantly, help others overcome their obstacles. Now, he’s back with his latest single, “It’s All In Your Head,” as he opens up further about self-doubt, mental wellbeing, and the power of self. Over a plucky yet still eerie ukulele-loop, SoLonely’s gentle…
Fresh off a stunning run with Skrillex and Four Tet that saw the trio take over Madison Square Garden a couple weekends ago, Fred again.. reimagines one of the fan favorite tracks from his latest album with some new voices and a fresh beat. “Mike (desert island duvet),” is a club-reworking of “Berwyn (all I got is you)” from Actual Life 3, now featuring a verse from The Streets’ Mike Skinner accompanied by original vocalist Dermot Kennedy. It’s the result of a blossoming friendship between Fred and Mike that kickstarted when he came out as a guest vocalist during Fred’s…
We’re slowly inching forward toward the release of ILLENIUM’s fifth studio album, the self-titled ILLENIUM. Over the years, we’ve seen his brilliant album trilogy captivate fans across the world, culminating in “epilogue,” Fallen Embers, released in 2021. We’re now entering a new era of ILLENIUM, yet the Denver artist still wants there to be a certain level of nostalgia and familiarity with his new work for long-time fans. His new single out today, “Insanity” with American Teeth, carries a theme of self-sabotage within the lyrics. It’s a topic, by roundabout means, that ILLENIUM has revisited fairly often in his work. “Everything about…
Guitarist/producer Phyphr is one of Denver’s most hotly-tipped talents, making waves with his electro-soul stylings and funky, electronic songwriting. Dedicated to inspiring his listeners, the artist has a DIY, self-produced ethos that’s intrinsic to his artistic expression and messaging. His own hard work and focus have led to a unique performance style that blends live guitar playing with immaculate electronic production – a vibrant mix that’s earned him opportunities to perform alongside acts like The Floozies, Daily Bread, Manic Focus, SoDown, and Maddy O’Neal. The dynamic maestro recently released his debut album, Catalyst – a genre-bending, full-length LP that’s brimming with raucous beats, textural grooves, and indelible…
ZHU released the first Musical Chairs Mixtape last July, featuring seven new tracks and collaborations with the likes of Elderbrook, Mr. Carmack, and more. Casual listeners can expect the release of Volume 2 on streaming services fairly soon, but fans who’ve subscribed to ZHU’s text list or Discord were apparently given the release early. A post on Reddit yesterday morning shares the Dropbox link for the mix, featuring a 23-minute mix of new music from the talented artist. As such, there’s still no official tracklist for the release so you’ll have to wait to see who’s featured or not. For…
DJ, producer, and artist Famba continues to impress us with his music. There’s no genre that can contain this burgeoning artist, as he’s now turns up the heat with his first release of 2023, “Estar Conmigo.” This sizzling Tech House banger is fueled by relentless driving beats and an ear worm of a vocal. Topped with inventive sound design and creative production choices, Famba yet again shows that he’s one of the finest producer in the game right now. Famba shares, “I got into making music because of my love for clubs and festivals. I realized that I wouldn’t be…
Music Tech caught up with Kaskade and deadmau5 recently ahead of their show at Printworks London. As the pair fought off jetlag and ribbed each other, the conversation eventually turned to the proliferation of AI and how it could affect the future of music. deadmau5 might be one of the better artists in dance music to give perspective on the evolution, sharp-tongued and never too shy to share his opinion. He’s also famously tech savvy, which becomes clear when you look back a few years at the tour of his home studio with Linus Tech Tips. And even that was six…

After nine years(!) Showtek and Ookay are back with their second official collab “BT1.” After first coming together back in 2014, on “Bouncer”, “BT1” sees the two artists join forces on a collab that perfectly captures where each has evolved over the years. A lot has changed in the music industry (and in the world) over the past decade. In 2014, Showtek was transitioning from hardstyle to big room festival hits. Ookay was starting to make waves in trap and dubstep. Fast forward to the present day, and Showtek have settled into a nice lane of more mature, radio friendly…
Few artists still make the same kind of dubstep that was coming out around 2010-2014, whether that’s brostep or just “old” dubstep. And that’s okay — styles and tastes change, trends evolve. However, there’s a fair amount of fans who don’t vibe with the current iteration and still yearn for the sounds of yore. Deadbeats, for all intents and purposes, appears to be leading the charge of embracing and reviving that older sound, especially after signing the new EP from Emalkay, The Others, and Subscape. Today, they host the release of a new anonymous artist, GRAIL SOUNDS, whose goal is…
