The OneOdio Studio Max 2 looks to find an audience among wireless DJ consumers at a price point that is feasible but with quality that raises an eyebrow. Wireless DJ headphones have spent years living in the same category as artificial reality; everyone kind of likes the idea, bu…
Massi Rocket and Alfrenk link up on “Tribal Vibes,” a tech house record built from rolling percussion, vocal detail, and a bassline that keeps the track moving without overloading the arrangement. Massi Rocket brings years of experience from Milan’s club circuit, where he runs Ro…
Future3’s Despite the Rumbling starts from a fairly honest place: the world is loud, unstable, and hard to tune out, but people can still meet in a room and make something together. That idea sits under the whole record. It is not an escape album exactly, though it is not buried…
When I first tried on the SPY+ Bowery sunglasses, the lyric from the Geto Boys, “Damn it feels good to be a gangster,” kept running through my mind. The new SPY+ Bowery sunglasses sit somewhere between high fashion and street style with a lot of attitude that comes along for the…
beyerdynamic has introduced the DT 275 PRO, a compact monitoring headphone designed for people who have to make audio decisions in loud spaces. That includes FOH engineers, DJs, field recordists, content creators, on-location video teams, and anyone editing or checking audio away…
Performance eyewear often gets flattened into a style conversation, especially when the brand has as much heritage as Vuarnet. The frames look sharp, the French mountain history is easy to romanticize, and the whole thing can get treated like another luxury outdoor accessory. Rac…
Chus & Ceballos (@chusceballos) return with “Somos Uno,” the first original release from their new chapter together after reuniting at the start of 2026. The track follows their Reunion Tour, which has already taken the Spanish duo across more than 50 cities, including Montreal,…
Artists usually start looking for management when the workload around the music begins to pile up, but JC’s (pictured above) view is that management becomes most effective once the project has already started moving. As founder and CEO of Orphiq, he works at the intersection of a…
Mack Loenz’s (@mackloenz) debut album From The Heart marks another milestone in the evolution of an artist many listeners already know as electro veteran Exzakt. Released on Maceo Plex’s Lone Romantic imprint, the ten-track album expands his long-established sound with melodic vo…
Dave Alcock (@dave.arcade) has spent more than two decades working in the live side of the music business, with a path that started before most people would even know where to look for a first opportunity. He began as a teenager cold-calling a PR agency in Hanover Square at 16, l…
The easiest version of the Artist Growth announcement is that AI can now make itineraries faster. That is true, and it is also the least interesting part. The better story is that Artist Growth is trying to solve the problem the music industry should already be worried about: wha…
Breaking Beattz (@bbeattz) makes his Dirtybird debut with Booty Bang, a two-track EP that continues the label’s Flight Week Brazil release series. Out now via Dirtybird, the project follows earlier Flight Week Brazil releases from BadComppany and Sudden Heat & Pitros, carrying fo…
Kayla Ramos’ “Serendipity” is the kind of pop song that could have gone soft in the wrong hands. The premise is familiar: someone enters your life at the exact right time, and the timing feels too strange to brush off as chance. That idea has been written a thousand ways, and it…
Producer education is crowded with tutorials that promise faster results, cleaner templates, and repeatable steps. Flying Lotus is taking a different angle with his new School of Song workshop: process first, finished track second. That is the tension that makes this one interest…
Synth history usually gets told through the instruments first. The Minimoog. The theremins. The modular systems. The pedals. The finished objects are easier to photograph, easier to mythologize, and easier to place inside the story of electronic music. This donation tells a diffe…

Electronic dab rigs have made concentrates easier to use by removing the torch and giving users direct control over temperature, session length, and vapor output. I have reviewed compact e-rigs, modular vaporizers, desktop concentrate systems, and water-filtered smoking devices f…
Photos Courtesy Of Buso Audio The smartest studio desk updates are usually the least glamorous ones. Nobody buys a workstation because the cable routing sounds sexy. Nobody wants to spend thousands of dollars thinking about tray flex, joint tolerance, rack angle, or whether a wei…
Jay Divad’s first solo mixtape, with whom this article is made in partnership, is built around reflection, heartache, and the kind of personal history he says he usually avoids talking about directly. The project took close to three years to finish, and that timeline shows up in…
AI music software has spent the past few years dealing with an identity problem. Most of the public conversation has focused on text prompts generating complete songs, usually followed by arguments about copyright, authorship, training data, and whether the person entering the pr…
If you are trying to learn how to promote music on Instagram, the answer usually has very little to do with posting your cover artwork every few days and reminding people that your new single is out. Most artists already do that, and most listeners scroll past because they have s…
Blanke (@blankemusic) returns with PART III – AWAKENING, the third installment in the EP cycle leading toward his debut album. The two-track release, out July 10, 2026, follows PART II – SKYFIRE and moves the album’s larger story from collapse toward renewal. Across “Sunrise” fea…

Jakob Mäder’s (@jakobmaeder) About The Vibe EP lands as a return to the deep house language that first pulled him in around 2010, when records from artists like Moomin, Lawrence, and Iron Curtis helped shape his ear. The Stuttgart-based DJ, producer, and live performer moves acro…
