Eliezer’s recent run of releases makes more sense once you place it beside Chicken Town. “Hips,” “Marrakech After Midnight,” and “Fiera,” the latter released under his New York Acid Assembly alias with G L’e P, all point back to the same club-first attitude: raw rhythm, pressure,…

Tony Finger’s Afro House Comeback Starts With Cape Town Tony Finger’s story runs through Italy, Paris, Cape Town, Ibiza, Geneva, and a long stretch of musical history that seems to be coming back into focus at the right time. Born and raised in Italy and now based in Geneva, the…

Myselor (@myselor__) has spent the past sixteen years developing a strain of electronic music that treats sound design, rhythm, and concept as parts of the same idea. The Greek producer, now based in Basel, has moved from Drum & Bass into increasingly experimental territory acros…

Dreamtonics is keeping the details light for now, but its latest teaser is doing enough to get vocal production people to pay attention. The company, best known for Synthesizer V Studio and the voice-morphing plugin Vocoflex, has shared a new coming-soon video for an upcoming rel…

Doc Martin (@docmartinla) and Homero Espinosa (@homeroespinosa) reconnect on West Coast Transmissions, a two-track EP that dropped back on July 24 on REK’D, the dancefloor-focused Rekids sublabel launched by Radio Slave. The release brings the pair into a rawer West Coast House l…

Cars used to have a built-in soundtrack before the stereo ever turned on. The engine, the road, the vibration, the gear changes, and the physical feel of movement all shaped the experience. EVs changed that equation. They are quieter, smoother, and more software-driven, which lea…

The talented Londoner Shafkkat is forging his own path London producer Shafkkat has been threading a needle, consistently across his releases — music that works as hard emotionally as it does rhythmically — and In The Wind, his first full project, is the most complete articulatio…

David Mayer (@david_mayer), Nico Stojan and Tooker’s “I Am” came out of the trio’s April 2026 SONARA basecamp on Isola di San Pietro, where they spent roughly two weeks making music without setting a fixed direction for what those studio days needed to produce. The track was offi…

Tom Brownlow and JenJammin Sax are leaning straight into the promise of the title with “Happiness,” their upcoming sax-house release out August 14 via Brook Gee Records. The track brings together Tom’s keys, strings, drums, arrangement, and production with Jen’s saxophone playing…

Late-summer festivals can trick you. The day starts hot. The sun sits on your shoulders for hours. Then the temperature drops, the grass gets damp, the walk back to the car feels longer than expected, and whatever looked good at 2 p.m. starts feeling like a bad decision by 10. Th…

The hardest part of artist content is not always the idea. It is getting the shot while still being present enough to make the music, run the session, play the show, meet the fans, pack the gear, or get to the next thing on time. Most artists do not have a camera team following t…

The harder part of drum programming is rarely finding a punchy sound. It is making the part feel like it belongs in the song. That is the space UJAM is working in with Virtual Drummer NEON, a new addition to its Virtual Drummer Series built for contemporary pop, disco, dance, nu…

Most artists are doing more of the recording process themselves now. That does not mean every artist wants to become a full-time mix engineer. It means the first round of decisions often happens before the song ever leaves the bedroom, rehearsal space, tour bus, dorm room, or apa…

Electronic music has always moved fast because producers keep finding new machines to bend. That history is part of why the AI conversation in dance music gets complicated so quickly. Drum machines, samplers, synths, DAWs, plug-ins, and generative processes have all changed what…

After becoming one of the biggest club anthems of 2025, ‘Lipstick’ by Alaia & Gallo returns with a huge new remix from Tony Romera. The original has become a firm favourite on dancefloors worldwide, earning support from Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Bob Sinclar, James Hype, Roger Sanc…

Most emerging electronic artists are forced into the hardest part of the market too early. A track can be finished, exciting, and ready for the right DJ or label, then still get buried the second it enters the same feed as established artists, larger campaigns, existing fan bases…

Some songs are built around the chase. “Trouble” is built around the moment after it ends. CHETTI’s new track closes Much Love, Chetti, Vol. 1 with a feeling of exposure. The story has stopped moving fast enough to blur the edges, and what was being carried finally has to be seen…

Most music merch still starts with the same familiar objects. Shirts. Hoodies. Hats. Posters. Stickers. Maybe vinyl if the budget allows. Those formats still work, but the artists who build real fan communities are always looking for objects that feel closer to the music itself.…

Loopmasters has spent over 25 years helping producers start tracks. Now it wants to help finish the story, which they talked about in detail in a recent blog post. The company has announced Loopmaster Records, a new label built to champion music coming directly from its community…

Red Axes (@redaxesofficial) have always sounded like a project built from records that were found, lived with, bent out of shape, and then sent back into the room with a new pulse. Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi started together in the post-punk and new wave world before reshaping th…

Pete Tong signing a record from Jordanian producers FairPlay (@__fairplay) and Roo (JO) (@roo.music) to Places & Spaces already gives “Al Jaw” an interesting position, especially after Tong opened his IMS Ibiza set at Dalt Vila with it and later played it again at Blue Marlin. Su…

Each summer, the island of Ibiza transforms from a restful island in the summer into the epicenter of the electronic music community. For more or less five months every year, the island is less a holiday destination than it is a high-performance, flawlessly constructed performanc…

The idea behind Beam Splitter V2 is simple in the best way: make one guitar feel like it was tracked several times. Old Blood Noise Endeavors built the pedal around the sound of a guitar recorded in multiple passes, where each take has a slightly different drive character, timing…

End-of-summer party gear usually gets framed around sound. That makes sense to a point. A loudspeaker can carry a tailgate, rooftop hang, backyard party, college move-in weekend, or pre-game. But the thing people remember once the playlist is already handled is often the room its…

Matt Fax (@mattfaxmusic) returns to Colorize with Innerframes, a four-track EP out August 5 that pulls together the darker, more futuristic side of his progressive sound without losing the melody and emotional detail that have followed him through the last decade of releases. Ope…

ModeAudio has built its name on royalty-free sounds that feel a little more considered than the average download folder. The company’s catalog now covers more than 400 collections, ranging from ambient textures, loops, one-shots, MIDI files, field recordings, and synth presets to…

A lot of electronic music treats escape like the whole point. fig’s “The Unknown” works a little differently. The Nashville producer wrote the track during a stretch of life when he was trying to find a place to live, and the uncertainty around that period naturally found its way…

The TR-808 is one of those rare instruments that stopped belonging to the company that made it almost as soon as artists got their hands on it. Roland released the TR-808 Rhythm Composer in 1980, and the machine’s strange version of realism became its superpower. The kick did not…

Miami’s biggest Halloween celebration is officially taking shape. Factory Town and Insomniac have unveiled the complete lineup for Hocus Pocus 2026: , returning to Hialeah’s sprawling nightlife complex from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1. Now entering its sixth ed…

All images are courtesy of Foreign Rider Clothing The best clothing for nightlife rarely starts at the club. It starts earlier. In the studio. In the airport. In the hotel lobby. At soundcheck. In the back of a rideshare. Outside the venue at 1:30 a.m. when the night has already…

Festival-ready bass music often gets described as if it came from nowhere. Big low end, distorted synths, a vocal element, a track title, a release date, and suddenly the record is treated like it was made only for the speaker system. DeHusslar, who this article was made in partn…

Christian Hornbostel has never sounded especially interested in chasing the loudest part of the room. That is part of what makes “Eridanus” feel right for Magnetic Magazine Recordings. The track is not trying to force its way into attention with a cheap trick or a giant reset eve…

Lorna James’s The Right To Be Forgotten lands with an unusual amount of backstory for a dance album. James is a classically trained pianist and composer, a former human rights barrister, a BBC Introducing-supported artist, a FreshSoundz Radio resident, and now an electronic produ…

Vancoo’s “I Can Feel It” lands on Where The Heart Is with the kind of patient emotional pull that fits the label well. The Moscow-based producer and DJ has been working across Organic House and Downtempo for years, with releases on The Purr, Kosa, Journey Of The Soul, HOROSHO., T…

Mastering The Mix has released MIXVAULT, a new EQ plugin built around a simple idea that solves a very real mixing problem: most EQ decisions are harder to trust when level changes start fooling your ear. MIXVAULT is described by Mastering The Mix as a “fast, smart, honest EQ,” a…

Monkey Safari’s “Future” feels like the track in an album rollout where the lights change. After the emotional pull of “Otherside” and the more direct floor pressure of “Okonokwa,” the German duo’s third single from You Don’t Know What To Do turns toward old-school French house,…

Tech house continues to evolve at a remarkable pace, with established names sharing space alongside a new generation of producers reshaping the genre from the ground up. This month’s selection reflects that balance, bringing together heavyweight club records, fresh collaborations…

Yazan Sarayrah’s IRTH-TRONIC is more than an album built around microtonal melodic techno. Beneath its intricate production lies a collection of stories that have travelled across generations through poetry, oral tradition and folk song. Drawing on Bedouin and wider Arab cultural…

MALUM shares a powerful new project from some of Norway’s best new creative producers The remix EP as a format has a complicated reputation. At its worst it’s a contractual obligation, a collection of half-interested reinterpretations dropped into the world with minimal fanfare a…

For years, brostep thrived on internet communities, festival stages, and a constant influx of young producers pushing the genre into unexpected territory. Now, BARELY ALIVE are attempting to give that creative ecosystem a permanent home with Killed It! Vol. 1, the debut multi-art…

Amsterdam Dance Event is built on overload. There are showcases, panels, backroom deals, club nights, brand activations, artist meetups, after-hours runs, and more reasons to stay out too late than any one person can handle. Inside that sprawl, the events with a real reason behin…

Jats (@jats_ofc) makes his Stereo Productions debut with “Power,” a new single arriving August 6 on Chus & Ceballos’ long-running imprint. The release places the French producer inside a label orbit that has helped shape percussive, groove-led house for decades, and it gives him…

Music tech accessibility often gets discussed too late. A product is built, shipped, praised for its features, then someone eventually asks whether blind or visually impaired musicians can actually learn the thing without someone else sitting beside them. That timing is the probl…

The promise of spatial audio is easy to understand until the delivery list gets involved. A music mix may need stereo. A broadcast job may need surround. A film or post job may need ADM or Dolby Atmos. A live recording may need several versions for different playback systems. The…

Some tracks take their time making the point. “Goin’ Down” does not… in fact, it does the complete opposite. Dizzlephunk’s new single comes in with the kind of low-end pressure that immediately tells you it was built for a large system, a packed room, and a crowd that wants somet…

Electronic music conferences can get vague fast. Put enough panels, mixers, software demos, brand activations, and industry language in the same hotel and the whole thing can blur into one long networking day. Beatport Connect LA is returning for its second year with a cleaner re…

A DJ trade show is a different test than a launch video. The product can look polished online, the spec sheet can read well, and the demo can hit all the right lines. Then it lands in front of working DJs, mobile crews, club regulars, wedding selectors, bar residents, educators,…

A safe remix keeps the vocal, adds a bigger drum section, pushes the drop a little harder, and calls the job done. Sunset Shades took the harder route with his official remix of Jasper Tygner’s “Hold You.” The original already had its own emotional lift, built around Tygner’s syn…

Studio monitors used to be sold around one question: how do they sound? That question still matters, obviously, but the room around the speaker has become just as important. Producers are mixing in spare bedrooms, small studios, treated garages, writing rooms, post rooms, Atmos s…
