Slushii and Volt collaborated for the first time in April, earlier this year, putting out “Just A Memory.” For that one, Slushii took the lead and Volt was secondary in the distribution, but now we have “Rattle Your Bones” where the roles are flipped.

When it comes to the actual production of the track, the order of the names in how a track is released might not have that much meaning, or it might have a lot, but it’s still an interesting juxtaposition for the first two collaborations from the producers to come out. Similarly, the tracks have very contrasting sound profiles, with “Just A Memory” being very pretty and glittering, and “Rattle Your Bones” coming across almost devilish in tone.

“Rattle Your Bones” begins with creepy, adolescent voice saying, “You’re not afraid of the dark, are you? Don’t be afraid, come with me.” It’s delivered like a ghost child from an A24 film, and followed by that menacing melody, the sound of pounding on a door, and then the door creaking open… both Volt and Slushii knew exactly what they were doing. “You’re going to die in there…”

If you’re a fan of some horror in your dubstep, definitely check out “Rattle Your Bones” from Volt and Slushii below, out now on Kayzo’s Welcome Records.

Almost like clockwork, ILLENIUM’s fourth album, the first following his Ashes / Awake / Ascend trilogy, is out today. When we reviewed Ascend two years ago, we asked how ILLENIUM would would top it after it seemed like he had reached the peak of his artistry. As it turns out, he didn’t have a problem with that at all.

Prior to the 14-track album’s release, we’d heard just six of the tracks, including collaborations with Tom DeLonge, Dabin & Lights, iann dior, Annika Wells, and more. However, there is so, so, so much more to explore on this incredible album which also features Tori Kelly, Sasha Sloan, Krewella & SLANDER, nothing,nowhere., Excision & HALIENE, Said The Sky & Rock Mafia, and Emma Grace.

Of the new album, ILLENIUM shares, “This album is the result of my healing and personal growth. A lot of passion went into every single song. Thank you to everyone involved who helped make this album what it is. I’m stoked it’s finally here and I hope you enjoy the start of this new chapter I’m sharing with you.”

He told Zane Lowe on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1, “I got more time on this one, honestly, because of the last year and I think I got time to perfect it and really make sure everything hit right emotionally. I was working on so much stuff this past year and I wanted to make songs that just I like and just I vibe with and I know that helps me out and get rid of some of the noise. And so it was really peaceful, honestly.”

Listen to Fallen Embers from ILLENIUM below.

ILLENIUM is also celebrating the release of his new album with an Artist Takeover Mode on Pandora. During his takeover, he will act as a guest DJ for Main Stage on MIXR, Pandora’s new Flagship Dance Station. This exclusive playlist and commentary lives on the platform for 2-4 weeks. You can find the Main Stage Mode on the MIXR station here.

Tiësto taps the immersive soundscape of VER:WEST in his latest production, “Elements Of A New Life.”

His techno-laced arrangement features melodic wonders and euphoric releases, with underlying driving energy present throughout. It’s a stark change up from what we’ve come to expect from Tiësto, yet just as deserving of a main stage.

Tiësto shares of the project:

I would describe VER:WEST as melodic house music. It’s a lot deeper and more chill and a very different energy than Tiësto. I got this opportunity from Tomorrowland to express a different side of me, which I’ve never done before. I know they are going to put amazing visuals around it and make it look really different and cool. Expect the unexpected, it’s going to look amazing!

“Elements Of A New Life” follows up Tiësto’s debut as VER:WEST, “5 Seconds Before Sunrise,” which released one year ago almost to the date.

Since adopting his new bass moniker early this year, Sovryn FKA Barely Royal has kept pace with the punishing D&B releases that have typified 2021 thus far. His Static Vision EP was a breakout success and since then he’s become a Korsakov Music darling, releasing another EP with label boss AL/SO and remixing their grimy dancefloor track, “Insanity” for the Halftimed compilation, as well as High Maintenance’s “Hypersonic.” With that rate of release, it was only a matter of time before Sovryn had another EP ready to go. That time is now.

The three- track Weekend EP drops today, conveniently on a Friday  and once again showcases Sovryn’s unique production style. Coming from bass house, there seems to be a way Sovryn stacks up his sound design and synth lines that seems almost counterintuitive to most D&B; it’s difficult to describe, but it’s also difficult to deny in this EP. The title track featuring MC RightMind, for examples seems to swing a very conscious eye on the vox and the bass synths, charging them with more electricity than the standard D&B voltage. That’s not to say the beat’s forgotten, however, as Sovryn takes influence from old school darkstep, with lots of wind-downs and pitch-outs to make its presence known.

“Sensation” has even more throwback vibes, again with a cheeky focus on rave that makes the track both nostalgic and new. The rave samples are rife in this track, with vox from the classic “Good Vibrations” early rave synths and a heavy, throwback bass synth. If these tracks are Sovryn’s interpretation of the weekend, we are here for it.

YEDM’s premiere corresponding with the Weekend drop is the most punishing bass track on the EP, the aptly named “Punishment.” A near atmospheric, melodic intro quickly devolves into neuro-tinged bass synth that comprises the main melody, with what is ostensibly a jump up beat in carrying it. Glitched out to filth, “Punishment” really nails home Sovryn’s diverse tastes and production abilities.

It’s unclear whether Sovryn will eventually land on a particular style or subgenre with his work, but he really doesn’t need to as his sort of back-to-front production and focus on melodics is already so recognizable. He’s got a label that supports his diverse tastes and clean production no matter what style he tries, so our best advice is to crank up these tunes and get ready for the Weekend.

Weekend drops on Korsakov music this Friday, July 16. Pre-order now on Beatport.

Having just released the inaugural Slime Time EP this past March, vomitstep producer SNAILS is already coming back with the sequel, dropping the first single, “Slime Zone,” yesterday.

It feels like all of SNAILS’ unique production methods are on display at once in this indomitable single, full of squelching bass and synths and with the producer’s intensely energetic rhythms.

The vocal introduction to the track describes “a new world, a new mind, a new show“… the last massive SNAILS tour saw an insane double-paned LED screen production, which mimicked a 3D effect in real life, so we can’t wait to see what he brings next.

Check out “Slime Zone” below!

Boasting a sound that is as inspired by the rave scene of the late 2000’s, as it is from the more recent deep/tech house movement, Mt. Sierra has just unveiled his debut single, “Mt. Joel,” that arrives on digital platforms via self release on SME RECORDS. An ode to dance music icon deadmau5, “Mt. Joel” marks just the beginning for Mt. Sierra, and is a truly infectious progressive house tune, driven by expert sound design, rich textural elements and uplifting drum work.



“Prior to deciding to use this track as my debut, I couldn’t decide what to put out first. I am sitting on so much unreleased music, so it was a gargantuan task,” explains Mt. Sierra. “When I thought back to the process of creating this tune during my time at Icon Collective, it only made sense that I release this first. I mean, It just felt right to pay tribute to someone who I consider to be one of my biggest inspirations. After giving it a listen, I think you can see where I’m coming from. It’s all in the synths.”

A massively dedicated producer and DJ, Mt. Sierra aims to showcase his unique blend of dance music via consistent and exciting releases, allowing his tunes to do the talking. Inspired by dance genres like big room, tech and progressive house, Mt. Sierra’s explosive yet introspective sound is truly one to explore in large detail, and we’re definitely excited to hear more from him in the near future.
