Talent always finds its way through the noise of a competitive industry, and for Blake Orris, also known as BLAKELOGANX, cutting through the saturation is exactly what he’s been doing this past year. The 19-year-old is living his dreams and entertaining the world with his multiple endeavours while growing his fanbase on social media. The Florida-born musician has worked hard for years, built connections, and is prepared to make his mark within the music world. It’s evident that the artist’s skills go hand in hand with the tech, social and digital platforms that have also played a vital role in…

Since the beginning of the Crywolf project, the music has always expressed elements of introspection and self-discovery. Through the artist’s own battles with mental health, the experiences and lessons learned throughout their journey have been exhibited front and center throughout the music. On top of being an extremely talented musician in his own right, the background also gives the music an exceedingly visceral and familiar feeling. That motif is nowhere more salient than his latest album, exuvium [OBLIVION Pt. II], created following a period of intense turmoil. The pain and grief in the music is nearly tangible, the powerful melodies…

Primavera Sound continues its reign as one of the most impeccably booked festivals in the world each year with their announcement of the 2023 lineups for Barcelona and Madrid. Depeche Mode, Kendrick Lamar, Blur, Rosalía, Halsey, FKA twigs, Skrillex, Måneskin, St. Vincent, The Moldy Peaches, Calvin Harris and Le Tigre will headline the Barcelona and Madrid dates next year. In total there will be over 200 performances in each city, including both welcome and closing days and of course the program of Primavera a la Ciutat. This plurality, this diversity that is so Primavera Sound, also extends to the strictly…

Who remembers the beacon of hope and shining artistry that was VISION’s Mission 01 compilation mega album in 2020 at the darkest point of the pandemic? Though theter were likely planning it before the lockdowns even started, with 23 of the most creative bass tracks at the time, the first installment of the Mission series lifted more than a few spirits and played in more than a few live sets (online though they may have been). Two years later, however, many may have been wondering if the Mission series would actually continue. Good news, Mission 02 is almost here and it’s even more innovative and unhinged than…

Last month, Rezz inaugurated her new label HypnoVizion with the release of Nightmare on Rezz Street 2, her annual Halloween-themed mix. Now, however, comes a different kind of inauguration as they’ve revealed their first artist release with none other than Isqa and a new EP, i 4ove you. If you’re unfamiliar with Isqa, and asking yourself why Rezz would release this artist, that’s okay. The alias was largely dropped after the artist chose to pursue a new project: No Mana. Isqa is incredibly heavy on sound design and includes some brilliant melodies and production, veering more to the electrohouse, but more…

Flume released his third studio album, Palaces, earlier this year. Following the success of Hi This Is Flume in 2019, it felt like whatever the Australian artist put out next would share equal success. Unfortunately, commercial reception to the album wasn’t exactly what was expected, he revealed in a recent interview. “I feel like honestly, [Palaces] didn’t do as well as I thought it was gonna do – and I’ve kind of had to just roll with that,” he told The Music. “I mean, it didn’t do bad, but it hasn’t continued this unstoppable rise that I’ve been feeling for many years. “It…

This past weekend in Los Angeles, ISOxo performed for a sold-out double header at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, the finale of his Nightrealm era. Whenever an artist announces a finale of a particular era, the question is always, “What’s next?” For ISOxo, his debut album: KIDSGONEMAD!, out in 2023. First, a bit of history and context. ISOxo has skyrocketed in popularity over the past year, especially since Brownies & Lemonade hosted his debut headline show in Los Angeles in October 2021. He released his Nightrealm EP on Sable Valley the month before, with hits like “Beam” and “Aarena,” and the…

triplej’s Like A Version gives artists a space to deliver creative covers of popular songs, often outside their own genre. For Flume’s latest appearance, he and Toro y Moi decided to cover the viral hit “Shooting Stars” by Bag Raiders… and it’s absolutely brilliant. The performance begins simply enough, Toro with a microphone, Flume with a single CDJ and a CD. Toro handles the vocals like an expert as Flume stares ahead contemplatively before he picks up a saxophone, fed through some kind of distortion. As the song approaches the drop, a couple of body builders enter from the wings…

Beats bounce across the landscape on You Are Love with a presence that feels infectious for HAMX taking his background as a musician to a whole other level. Hope typically informs dance music, and here HAMX proves that amply. Lyricism has a soulful presence to it. Everything about it goes for a distinct affectionate stance. The title itself appears to embody the spirit that radiates from every nook and cranny of the sound. With his massive, arena-filling sound, the production has a flawless shine. He tells a whole story here, one of self-discovery and belief in oneself that is doubly…

Actually, we’re a little late to the Moment party, as YEDM covered Mike Masch’s recent multi-genre project Back to the Boulevard a couple of weeks ago, when technically In Time, the album he released under Moment, dropped first. That said, it it was good to do a profile on Masch himself and all his different projects first in some ways, because there’s a much longer story there. Now that said, how did we miss this super-cool hip hop album? The aptly named In Time by moment released in early October and is the first comprehensive hip hop album Masch has done thus far. His work under…
