Calvin Harris is serving up feel good vibes with his brand new track, “By Your Side” featuring Tom Grennan.

The song is the definition of infectious, with a bouncy beat, bright synths, and lyrics that inspire happiness. Perhaps the best part of the release has been witnessing how genuinely excited Calvin Harris is to get this particular production out into the world.

He shares of the track:

…this new one, it felt nostalgic to me in a nice way. The sort of thing that nobody else is making it, so that feels good. And regardless of how it does or whatever, it felt really nice to me.

As for the possibility of a new album, we shouldn’t hold our breath. The producer reveals in a new interview via Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, he’s much more dedicated to putting out “fun” music with “zero pressure.”

For me, it’s making records that make me feel good in the hope that other people feel good from it. I’m a service provider. If you want to listen to my songs and you enjoy them then that’s absolutely fantastic. I don’t really ask for anything more than that for me.

That being said, “By Your Side” is an absolute blast — listen here!

It’s been three years since San Holo’s debut album, album1, and the Dutch artist has not only managed to hone in on his core sound but expand it exponentially. And while I fully realize that those actions are inherently at ends with each other, think of it as zooming in on the light spectrum and seeing all the other myriad colors found within a magnified portion of the spectrum. (Yes, I’m using a “light” metaphor.)

His sophomore album, bb u ok?, is officially out today, featuring a sprawling 20 tracks, including collaborations with Bipolar Sunshine, The Nicholas, American Football, Weezer, Chet Porter, and capping it off with Mija & Mr. Carmack.

Prior to the release, we’d already received six expansive singles, which, on any typical album release, might seem like a lot. But with 20 songs, it was barely more than a quarter of the full listening experience and there’s so much more to experience and discover within the folds of the emotional and creative body of work.

The combination of San’s bleeding-heart guitar chords, processed vocals, and delicate synths serenade throughout the album, more pronounced, more nuanced, more meaningful than ever before.

Listen to the new album below, in the morning, at night, when you’re happy, when you’re sad, when you need to get over an ex, when you’ve found someone new, when you need to feel your feelings or escape them.

Nostalgix shares of the release:

I started writing this EP last year at a tough point in my life. I was realizing how imperfect the world is, and it inspired me to create something different. I put so much love into the project, from producing the records to directing the music video.

Nostalgix stays pumping out quality records, landing on UKF, AC Slater’s Night Bass, Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak, Tchami’s Confession, and now Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats label.

Lowdown just dropped a hype, club-ready cut — “Organ Donor” — out now on his very own 411 Records.

The imprint’s debut sets the bar for future releases to come, as Lowdown brings the energy with uplifting piano progressions, singalong vocals, and various nostalgic elements that scream out early-90s-dark-sweaty-dance-floor.

Per the track’s press release, within the title lies an ode to DJ Shadow, one of Lowdown’s earliest musical influences. The Brisbane-born talent knew from a young age he was destined to create, starting out as a hip hop DJ before transitioning into the world of electronic/dance music.

Having released on various leading labels including Universal, Dim Mak, Insomniac, Night Bass, Confession, This Ain’t Bristol, Box of Cats and more, introducing his own is the natural next step.

Listen here and look out for more from Lowdown and 411 Records!

This new ID from Chris Lake and Grimes has everybody talking…

Over the weekend the producer took the stage at Get Funky in Salt Lake City, Utah and threw down for a special Fisher x Chris Lake b2b at Rawhide Event Center in Chandler, AZ. He rinsed out the unreleased collaboration in both spots and the crowds went wild.

Taking it a step further, Grimes took to social media to share her own clip of the production from a behind-the-scenes perspective — “@chrislake testing our Song!” She coyly asked, “Shud we release this?” 

Chris Lake chimed in via tweet, with a “highly anticipated announcement coming next week.”

Rezz also recently announced she and Grimes are working on a song together, another much anticipated collab years in the works. Read more on that here.

See below and preview the hot new Chris Lake x Grimes collab here as well.

Avant-garde producer and transgender icon SOPHIE has left a lasting impact industry, forever changing the scope of pop, electronic, and beyond — and there’s so much yet to be heard.

According to a new report from Billboard, the future of potential posthumous releases remains primarily up to SOPHIE’s family and also partly to the labels, Future Classic and the Transgressive Records.

Unreleased material reportedly ranges from “rough sketches to nearly complete songs,” some of which were at the mixing stage when the producer tragically passed in January.

SOPHIE’s brother, Ben Long, reveals to Billboard, “There is a lot of music in the vaults, absolutely. There are literally hundreds of tracks.”

Long worked closely with SOPHIE in the studio and on tour and says the plan was to release a pop record, then an experimental album, and keep the cycle going.

“There are many, many discussions to be had,” Long shares. “The most important thing for us is doing right by SOPHIE — putting stuff out that SOPHIE was happy with and would want to be out.”

The possibility of SOPHIE’s unheard productions getting released remains a bittersweet topic and we’re grateful for the unmatched brilliance heard thus far. Explore SOPHIE’s exquisite collection here.

Two fan-favorite producers, San Holo and Alison Wonderland, recently sat down together via Australian music outlet, Tone Deaf, and sat down for nearly an hour talking about making music during the time of COVID, and their vastly different circumstances.

Alison, at least at the time of the interview, was in New Zealand where COVID isn’t even a thought anymore and everything is very open, while San mentions his situation is “pretty bad.”

“We can’t even go out shopping; basically the only thing we can do is get a coffee inside and then [leave] as soon as we can,” he says.

“We’re living completely opposite lives,” Alison responded.

The two talk about new projects and producing music while in their respective lockdowns, especially with respect to having tours and shows stripped from their regular schedule.

You can watch the full conversation via Tone Deaf here.

After months of anticipation, Insomniac reveals the glorious lineup for the newest festival brand in its arsenal — Lost in Dreams.

The Lost in Dreams festival takes place September 4 and 5, 2021 at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center and is dedicated to future bass, melodic dubstep, and pop/electronic music.

As promised, the lineup boasts a broad range in talent. Among the most recognizable names are Dabin, Seven Lions, K?D, SG Lewis, Gryffin and Washed Out. Notably, festival-goers will be treated to a Manila Killa B2B Chet Porter set.

Some of the names on the list are more surprising, like LICK, Haywyre, Moore Kismet, Yung Bae and Vanic, but we can’t wait to see these artists connect with their dreamier side.

And then there’s the artists who just make sense like Amtrac, Shallou, Crystal Skies, Pluko, William Black, Kaivon, Two Lanes and more.
