Diplo began releasing music as Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, his alt-country project, back in 2019 beginning with “So Long” featuring Cam. Since then, he’s released a full album with collaborators including Morgan Wallen, Zac Brown, Julia Michaels, Ben Burgess, and more, and also played Stagecoach Festival. This past Friday, Diplo returned a new track, “Wasted,” featuring Kodak Black and Koe Wetzel, and an accompanying video directed by long-time collaborator Austin Peters, who directed the documentary Give Me Future about Major Lazer’s historic 2016 concert that drew 400,000 fans to Havana, Cuba. “Wasted” marks Diplo’s first new country music since 2020’s…
A club-focused fervor vibrates throughout Trucco’s work. The force of nature of the work makes sense, given his emphasis on healthiness and on showing love for his environment. Wherever he has been, either Santiago, Chile, or his current locale in Los Angeles, California, he’s paid heed to this creed. As a result, much of his output virtually commands the audience to get up on the dancefloor and lose themselves in the music. This sort of thing is gradually becoming an experience worth talking about, much like DJ Harvey’s LA warehouse marathons. Presentation matters to someone who started in visual media,…
Independent Artist on the Rise John Michael Howell is currently performing at a very high level. This young man is only a few short moments away from tremendous fame and money as he continues to release hit after hit. John Michael is regarded as one of the most talented musicians to come out of his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. In 2022, he achieved a level of success that, up until that point, he had only fantasized about. He racked up approximately 7 million streams through Spotify alone. He has never been a conventional artist and defies classification by refusing…

She’s bringing a few friends along the way and all signs are pointing to this being a moment-making tour not to be missed. Whether…
Skrillex celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday with some insightful and revealing tweets about his mental health. According to him, 2022 was the toughest year of his life as he finally found himself coming to terms with the death of his mother back in 2015. “My mother passed away a few years back 2nd day of [Lollapalooza] tour in SA,” he wrote. “I never ever coped with it … I drank the pain away and kept going.” While the pandemic was certainly hard on many people for a variety of reasons, it did force some into necessary introspection, as seems to…
In recent years, Greek electronic dance music has been on the rise, and Panagiotis Amorgianiotis has been at the forefront of this movement. He is well-known for his skill on a variety of instruments, including the guitar, drums, and piano, and for the fresh perspective he offers his listeners. Amorgianiotis lists artists like Eminem, NF, Drake, and Lil Peep as inspirations, but he doesn’t just want to sound like them. He has a fixed idea of what he wants his music to sound like, and he hopes to use his popularity to promote peace and harmony through inspiring lyrics and…
It’s that time of the year, festival lineup announcement time!

Their first wave of artists include Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Don Diablo, Hardwell,…
So far, this week alone, Coachella, Sunset Music Festival, Escapade, and Bonnaroo have all dropped lineups for 2023. Yesterday, North Coast joined the fray with a formidable lineup of their own, and the first so far for Marshmello, who’s been seemingly absent on lineups lately. Marshmello, Zeds Dead, Flume, Alesso, Ganja White Night, and Alison Wonderland are billed as headliners for the weekend, with other stage closers including Liquid Stranger, DJ Snake, Gigantic NGHTMRE, Duke Dumont, Lane 8, and Chris Lake. That isn’t even the end of the big names, however, as Black Tiger Sex Machine, Dabin, Jauz, MK, and…
“A Milli” by Lil Wayne might be one of the most iconic, and frequent, samples played in DJ sets to add a little hip hop flair. It’s been remixed and bootlegged to death, but — incredibly — there has never been an actual, honest to god, “official” remix of the hit single until now. SIDEPIECE, the duo of Party Favor and Nitti Gritti, who’ve earned critical acclaim from industry tastemakers and DJ peers alike, are the first to ever officially remix the classic record and the result is nothing short of just as iconic. The track gets a brand new,…
Quackson caught Your EDM’s attention way back in 2018, leading to him being included in our list of 40 artists to watch in 2019. Since then, he’s been steadily putting in the work with stellar releases, and some of those demos must have finally hit the right note with Rezz as she’s brought together a stellar team, including the iconic Wreckno, for their new single, “Gyrate.” “Rezz was the artist who first inspired me to start producing, so this is a crazy full circle moment and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.” – Quackson Marking the first…
