French DJ/production duo Ofenbach is making their way to North America for two back to back nights in California, on January 27 and January 28, with their first show in San Diego, then Los Angeles. This marks the first time the pair perform in the US since the release of their debut album “I.” With collaborations with Sam Gray, R3HAB and FAST BOY, the Parisian boys are the most streamed French band in the world, a feat they achieved with their single “Love Me Now.” “After a long wait, we are finally releasing our first album. We want to thank…
Almost two years ago, Daft Punk announced they were officially breaking up in a truly bombastic fashion. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, apart from their work in the iconic duo, have both offered their services as paramount producers and musicians in other fashions in the past. Now, two years hence, Bangalter is releasing his first solo orchestral work, Mythologies. It is his first independent orchestral work, initially commissioned by the choreographer Angelin Preljocaj for the ballet of the same name and premiered by the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine under the direction of Romain Dumas. His last traditional solo album, Outrage,…
The great thing about DLR’s Sofa Sound imprint and its A&R is that, just like DLR himself, there’s always a sense of fun and funk built into every track. From the release art to the sound design to even the deepest, heaviest tracks still being a bit of a bop, there’s a playfulness there that gives Sofa its mass appeal while still being technically spot-on. With their new collab EP Fresh Cutz due out tomorrow, January 25, Iris and Sweetpea have more than embraced that fun side to beatmaking with a collection of fast, funky rollers. Most US heads will know Iris…
Among the most loved and played music genres is electronic dance music. Its popularity has recorded tremendous growth in recent years. In the mid-’90s, when electronic music was introduced, many people did not like it as much as they do today. But there are still singers and music producers like Brauch and fans who greatly appreciated the sound and steered it into the mainstream, where it can be heard today. Brauch has always been a big supporter and lover of the electronic music genre. His undying love and passion for music emerged when he was still a child. At that…
Not often lately do you see a collaboration with three absolute legends like Emalkay, The Others, and Subscape. More recently, we’ve been witness to a more common trend of established producers bringing in a newer act and combining their influences. For these three, who have all been active in dubstep for the better part of 15 years, “Inside My Head” was “long overdue.” “We thought it was a collaboration long overdue,” they said, “so we mashed out some beats together one day and before we knew it we eventually ended up with a huge body of work with this being…
We already know Skrillex has a ton of new music coming this year, with three singles already released this month, including “Rumble.” On the way, we know there’s a Missy Elliott and Mr. Oizo collaboration coming, and he just showed off an unreleased ISOxo collaboration live in Bangkok this past weekend. A clip was posted in the Skrillex subreddit by u/vuthasear last night, with more clips available in the comments if you visit the page below. Once again, elements of that iconic, “yes, oh my god” sample make it into the mix, but it’s unclear if that’s something he’s cueing…
Following a number of collaborations with the likes of DJ duo Cayo, Energy Deejays, Raphy J and many more, charismatic singer and songwriter Eirini has just made the first step in her blossoming solo artist career. The half Greek-Cypriot and half British-Irish talent started her music journey at a young age and has been performing at the biggest theatres in the UK since she was 14 years old. Now based in Dubai, she has been establishing herself in the UAE since 2019, performing at massive venues across the country such as Atlantis The Palm, Soho Garden, White Dubai, Iris and Expo 2020,…
The rivalry between Dillon Francis and DJ Hanzel grows with each passing day, especially since, according to their Twitter exchanges, it seems Dillon forced Hanzel’s hands into releasing his album potentially a bit earlier than he’d hoped. (Of course, this is all in good fun, right?) DJ Hanzel, the house alias of Dillon, has been releasing music for years as a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek alter ego. Finally, the project’s debut album anti everything has dropped on streaming services after striking up a deal with Create Music Group this past December. “Since time immemorial, peasants, rubes and all-around losers have attempted, but never achieved,…
