Illenium’s next album, Fallen Embers, is due out in just over a month, July 16. While anticipation runs high for this body of work, we’re already getting some remixes of songs that haven’t even come out yet.

Yesterday, @illeniumINTEL on Twitter shared a video (below) of a new remix by Illenium and Virtual Riot, of one of the unreleased songs from the forthcoming album. The audio quality isn’t the best, but you can definitely tell that it’s some significantly hard dubstep. So while we’re not likely to get that many heavy songs on the album itself, it’s reassuring to know that Illenium, even with others, is still pumping out some of the heavy material elsewhere.

In other news, NGHTMRE shared on his Instagram stories that he was working on a special remix for the Denver producer, so we’re sure to get a remix album or EP of some single at least some time in the future, as well.

Check out the video below!

Online gaming company Roblox has been hit with a lawsuit for, allegedly, illegally streaming copyrighted music. The kid-friendly gaming platform has insane reach, with 42 million daily users — and hosts a massive library of music uploaded by users to incorporate into games.

The National Music Publishers’ Association is reportedly seeking a minimum of $200 million in damages from Roblox for its use of songs from various artists without proper compensation. Popular music acts including deadmau5, Ariana Grande, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran and the Rolling Stones are mentioned.

The suit represents a number of publisher plaintiffs including ABKCO Music & Records, Big Machine Records, Concord Music Group with Pulse Music Group, Downtown Music Publishing, Hipgnosis, Kobalt Music Group, MPL Music Publishing, Peermusic, Reservoir Media Management, Spirit Music Group and UMPG.

The NMPA’s lawsuit aims to “ensure songwriters are fully paid for their works on the platform and that Roblox takes seriously its obligations to those who have made its service so popular and profitable.”

On Thursday, Roblox issued a statement saying the company is working “vigorously” to defend itself and “achieve a fair resolution,” further asserting the lawsuit “represents a fundamental misunderstanding” of how the platform works.

Amazon-owned streaming service Twitch may also be in trouble, as NMPA president/CEO David Israelite spoke on an “intensive enforcement program to ID and remove unlicensed songs from [Twitch].”

The first of its kind event will feature sets from Princess Nokia, Cookiee Kawaii to join A-Trak and Virtual Artists Nayomi, DJ Dragoon, and Gnar Heart, with original music from the AI-driven virtual DJs that is generative and adaptive: the audience will be able to influence the set from their mobile phones in real-time.

The 2021 Tribeca Festival will feature an impressive line-up of Cinema360 immersive pieces, but only one promises musical performances by both a hyper-creative, half-reptilian DJ and a former DMC World Champion turntablist.

Taking place Wednesday, June 16, at 5:00pm ET, Authentic Artists’ WarpSound Music Experience will be a first-of-its-kind, audience-interactive, live music showcase that pairs three dynamic human artists with three founding members of the WarpSound virtual artist collective.

Lighting up a 40-foot LED screen will be WarpSound headliners Nayomi, the cyborg queen of lo-fi, DJ Dragoon, a reptilian DJ who takes monster energy to a whole new level, and Gnar Heart, a friendly AI bunny, reprogrammed to “shred the gnar.” The IRL and virtual artists will tag-team for a series of genre- and mind-bending duets.

While the WarpSound Music Experience is currently sold-out, those lucky enough to have a Tribeca Festival ticket should make sure they’re at the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place to participate in this history-making human x machine musical collaboration.

Ty Dolla $ign is no stranger to the electronic world at this point, appearing on singles with The Chainsmokers, RL Grime, Skrillex, and more. Now, Don Diablo can add his name to the growing list of artists who’ve collaborated with the star rapper, on their new song, “Too Much To Ask.”

Eschewing his usual future house sound, Don goes somewhere between deep house and hip hop for this star-studded collaboration. Check it out below!

KSHMR‘s Harmonica Admromeda (Deluxe Version) puts a fresh spin on his eclectic March album, Harmonica Andromeda. The new album comes via Spinnin’ Records and and his Spinnin’ Records sub-label, Dharma.

The revamped album adds five new tracks to the 14-track original work, making it his largest body of work to date.

Harmonica Andromeda won acclaim for its theatrical sound, inspired by movie scores. The new tracks are in keeping with the etheral, entrancing sound of the album.

KSHMR adds three new solo works “Dusty Fairytale,” “Tupinambá,” and “Come to Life.” He enlists KARRA for vocals on “Slow” and California-based TZAR for “You Don’t Need to Ask.”

KSHMR shares:

It was important to me that making a ‘Deluxe’ meant more than microwaving the leftovers. The additional five tracks are songs I absolutely love and actually made for the original release — but it felt right to spread the music out a bit and give each song its chance to shine.

Listen to Harmonica Andromeda (Deluxe) in all its glory here!

Teddy Beats has already released a number of songs as we still have yet to round out the first half of 2021, and they’re all absolutely solid so you have to think he’s got some powerful inspiration behind him. He’s just put out his newest song, “Alive” with Britt Lari, and it’s pure bliss.

Deep synths mixed with some fiery rhythm and attitude from Britt’s vocals combine nicely to give off a multi-layered song that presents itself like fire and ice.

“Britt Lari and I wanted to shake things up and show off our wild side by coming alive on this fierce, summery, slap house-inspired track while bringing in my signature chill dance sound. Keep your ear out for the lion roar before the drop, it’s our favorite part!” – Teddy Beats

DJ/producer and multi-instrumentalist GRiZ is on fire in 2021 — and he just dropped his latest track, “Tie-Dye Sky.”

This psychedelic dubstep banger flexes GRiZ’s innovative production expertise, built with soulful vocals and melodies, as well as sounds reminiscent of dubstep’s golden age. Blindingly vibrant, pleasantly surprising, “Tie-Dye Sky” is an instant, quintessential edition to the producer’s ever-expanding catalog.

Speaking on “Tie-Dye Sky,” Grant says, “To me this track is like staring up at the sky and watching it explode into a kaleidoscope of colors.”

Recent productions “Astro Funk,” “Bring Me Back” with Elohim, “Ease Your Mind” with Ganja White Night and “Vibe Check” have all blasted through our speakers this year — each with unique sonic qualities and radiating positive energy to the core.

Per the song’s press release, “‘Tie-Dye Sky’ showcases GRiZ’s 2021 mission to release the music he loves and play it for diehard fans in his favorite places.” More on music and show announcements here.

It’s been four years since Skrillex and Poo Bear teamed up for “Would You Ever,” but the pair have obviously kept in touch ever since. Now, they’re together again on Poo Bear’s new single, “The Day You Left.”

Skrillex lends his hand at production, along with Sasha Sirota, on the pensive and melancholy single. Little elements from Skrillex’s noticeable production techniques permeate the single, like the recognizable vocal chops and even some of the drum processing. But it’s certainly a very different vibe that Skrillex’s other latest release yesterday.

Check out the single below!

Drove just dropped his new EP, Dawn, on Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, the follow up to his Dusk EP earlier this year. On one of the new singles, he teams up with Dillon Francis once again for “Together.”

“We already had a collaboration with Dillon on our previous EP ‘Dusk’ which hit 3M + streams,” says Drove. “When we told Dillon about a sequel to ‘Dusk’ he wanted to join immediately. This time choosing for a more darker themed production, resulting into our brand new song, Together.”

As Drove says, “Together” is definitely a darker production that teeters on the edge of deep house, vastly different from Dillon’s own latest single, “Unconditional.” The new collaboration has a haunting, melancholy melody paired with airy vocals and a pulsing rhythm that is almost hypnotic.

Listen to the new single below and check out the full EP here.

Up until now, every new Marshmello album has been titled Joytime, with each successive iteration receiving a Roman numeral in order of release. For the first time, today, he’s released an album without the Joytime moniker, his fourth studio album, Shockwave.

The 12-track Shockwave explores genres such as trap, dance, bass house, dubstep, tech, and everything in between by calling upon collaborators like TroyBoi, DJ Sliink, Nitti Gritti & Megan Thee Stallion, Carnage, Eptic & Juicy J, Subtronics, SIPPY, and PEEKABOO. Sonically, it’s far more diverse and experimental, for Marshmello, than his previous albums. A lot of this apparently has to do with spending more time in the studio with Southside.

“I’ve been blessed enough to be taken under the wing of the legendary hip hop producer Southside,” says Marshmello. “[…] With this new album, I wanted the influence of a lot of hip hop drums, and I think listening through, you can hear that.”

Over just the past few weeks, Marshmello has been pumping out new singles from the album, dropping six of them all before the album was released, the latest being the massive dubstep collaboration with Subtronics, “House Party.” Among the remaining singles, we get even more collaborations, all with different flavors and influences.

On first listen, it could certainly appear that the album suffers from a lack of cohesive sound. As it goes from one genre to another to another and back again, with no real thread tying them together, that can often happen. But I also think that we’ve become too conditioned to expect full, concept albums from artists lately. Shockwave is more like an extended EP, showing off a bunch of fun, different sounds and presenting them in a concise package. And in that sense, Marshmello succeeds.
