Earlier this month superstar DJ/producer Alan Walker played two sold out nights at the world famous Hollywood Palladium; the penultimate shows on his Walkerverse world tour. The famously masked and hooded Walker played out a bevy of his hit tracks including “Alone,” “Spectre,” “Darkside,” his Hans Zimmer remix “Time” and of course, “Faded.” However, we got the chance to sit down and talk to Alan Walker unmasked before his show. Although his identity is no longer a secret (you can see Alan sans his mask and hoodie on his Unmasked vlogs on YouTube), our chat was a very insightful look…
As music lovers, there are few things we enjoy more than sharing the music we enjoy with others. When I was growing up, this meant handing off the headphones I bought at Target, attached to my Walkman CD player, on the bus to the friend sitting next to me. Soon after, that evolved into the iPod earbuds so you could listen with a friend, and eventually I had a disposable income to purchase some decent home speakers in college and a friend could simply come into my room and listen off my laptop. When my parents were growing up, apart…

The Nooran Sisters wrote the song “Patakha Guddi” for the movie Highway in 2014 and it immediately topped the charts, earning them two of the Mirchi Music Awards in 2015, “Upcoming Female Vocalist Of The Year” and “Vocalist (Female) Of The Year,” as well as the Best Music Debut award of the Global Indian Music Academy Awards and the Best Female Playback Singer award of the Screen Awards. This year, a video of the sisters singing the song at the Punjabi Music Awards in 2015 went viral on TikTok and Instagram, with home producers remixing the infectious vocal beat en masse.…
It may be getting colder where you live, but things are only heating up for Birthdayy Partyy. Embodying the forward-thinking vision of bass house pioneers Jauz and Habstrakt with the influence of legends Flux Pavilion, and Zeds Dead has helped to shape their sound into a unique mixture of genres with quality and innovation at its core. After making their debut at EDC 2018 following a championship submission to the Corona Electric Beach discovery contest, they made their hometown debut at Spring Awakening 2018 where they got to play for thousands of reverent fans on a massive stage. The love…
Too often there is a conflict that exists within the house world. On one hand, it is true that house is not like other genres – there is a trance-like state intended with the cycled through-grooves. However, the conflict arises when artists are forced to pick a side – either short snappy pop tracks with a dance beat or extended cuts, the sort of things that go well on past the seven-minute mark. Glen Trapz offers the best of both worlds – his tracks have that immersive experience and maintain the hook that runs through them. His work has a…
Emerging from their third year in Saudi Arabia, MDLBeast’s SoundStorm Music Festival has become a first event of its kind in the country and the self-described “loudest in the region.” With staggering 800,000 attendees it’s now the largest music festival in the world too, dwarfing world famous events like Las Vegas’ Electric Daisy Carnival and Belgium’s Tomorrowland by comparison. With bigger attendance numbers and broader international appeal, the festival is arguably more important to Saudi Arabia than Woodstock was for America in the ‘60s. Specifically for women in the Middle East, this is an important moment. For the first time…
When I first saw ISOxo play in Los Angeles in late 2021 for his debut headline with Brownies & Lemonade, I was left feeling like he was the future. We’d already had him on our Artists To Watch in 2020 list published late 2019, but thanks to the pandemic, it was nearly two years later before I was able to actually see for myself the power he commanded from on-stage. Clearly, many people now have the same impression since ISOxo, and by association a lot of his contemporaries like Knock2 and FrostTop, have similarly risen the ranks of popularity and…
It’s been nearly a full year since Subtronics released his debut album FRACTALS back in January. It’s almost poetic for him to begin the year with his debut album and essentially cap it off with the remix and VIP album, a full circle moment. ANTIFRACTALS features ten VIP versions from himself and remixes from the likes of Virtual Riot, Peekaboo, Wooli, A Hundred Drums, and more. Subtronics says, “‘ANTIFRACTALS’ is the follow-up VIP and remix album to ‘FRACTALS’ which dropped last year. It includes tons of VIPS by me and remixes from some of my favorite artists out there. I’m honored to…
Since 2016, Mike Munnelly aka Space Wizard has been bringing a new and unbridled energy to the scene. Blending together the new and old styles of bass music, and combined with his unique sound design, has led to many powerful tracks that have been played by heavy hitters like Liquid Stranger, Subtronics, Shlump, Jantsen, Mersiv, and Atliens. He performed at the inaugural Wakaan Music Festival and even was direct support for DMVU and TVBOO on the nationwide “Eat My Sass Tour,” as well as having multiple headlining shows across the country. Now, he’s back with a thrilling 3-track EP titled ‘Cosmic…
