Some live set flips are just too good to be kept in the vault. Such is the case with the massive flip of “Core” by RL Grime that Ray Volpe unleashed on Bass Canyon earlier this year, and to the pleasure of thousands of fans, it’s finally out.

We’ve been hearing a few new flips of the classic this year, including Justin Hawkes’ DnB flip, but Ray Volpe — true to his own sound — takes the trap banger to a new bass level with a huge dubstep drop. Since it is just a live edit, the whole track is only just over 2 minutes long, but it’s 100% worth it.

Los Angeles-based producer Shallou is a remarkable artist who never fails to amaze us with his productions. He’s had quite a year, recently concluding his ‘The Long Way Home Tour’ with a string of sold out shows in Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, and more.

Anticipation has been building for his forthcoming EP, ‘The Long Way Home‘ after hearing previous releases like “High Tide” and “Heartaches”, and especially now with his latest single, “Here”.

“Here” stays true to the excellence we’ve come to expect from Shallou. It is a stunning indie-tronica cut that thrives in a fusion of head-bobbing house and intimate folk touches. It’s a beautiful anthem from start to finish, proving to be yet another stunning release from Shallou.

We can’t wait for his upcoming EP, but in the meantime, listen to “Here” below!

Though NGHTMRE has played Red Rocks plenty of times with SLANDER or Big Gigantic, he’s never headlined the famed venue solo. That changes next April with “INTO THE DRMVRSE.”

The show will be the debut performance of his debut album and upcoming tour, both of which we can somewhat safely assume will have “DRMVRSE” in the name. Tickets go on sale today — go to the link in the tweet below to access the pre-sale, password DRMVRSE.

The melodic, diverse and very UK sounds of Hillsdom seemed to come more or less out of nowhere a few years ago with their big label debut on Viper’s Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2017. That’s certainly an effective way to make an entrance, and they’ve been churning out those slammers ever since. With a mature and well-developed sound pretty much from jump, Hillsdom have released loads of work on Viper, had a single on Simon Bassline’s almost impossibly tough to sign label Technique, UKF’s cheeky underground imprint Pilot. and, most recently on RAM and its sister label Program.

It seems Program has really agreed with Hillsdom, as after their first two sets of singles, “Tell Me Your Lies”/”Stone Soul” and “I Wonder”/”Igloo” released in January and July, respectively, RAM have decided to drop two of the duo’s best-received singles to date, “Fauxtopia” and “Gaslight” featuring Maddy on vocals. Released in early October, these two tracks are quite different, with “Fauxtopia” being a deep, synth-driven and introspective track with lots of dancefloor power and “Gaslight” hitting more melodic, liquid vibes. These two tracks are a testament to why Hillsdom have taken off like they did: diversity and quality.

With even more on the horizon, the Hillsdom boys have decided to commit a mix to memory of all the great stuff they’ve done so far and Your EDM has it. Beginning as it should with “Fauxtopia,” the 57-minute exclusive mix once again proves the Essex duo’s eclectic style and thumbs a nose at the idea that one can’t mix multiple styles in the same set. By the ten minute mark, they burn through deep D&B, dancefloor, melodic and ameny jungle seamlessly.

Another act who’s clearly thumbing their noses at being pigeonholed by subgenre, Hillsdom make technically super-clean work that is instantly recognizable as Hillsdom but run the gamut style-wise. This mix is all over the board in the best possible way and a great way to celebrate their signing to RAM.

“Fauxtopia” and “Gaslight” are out now and available on Beatport and Spotify.

To celebrate the release of COWBOY BEBOP on November 19, Netflix hosted an exclusive listening party and conversation with Japanese-American DJ/producer Steve Aoki to discuss his exclusive remix of “Tank!,” the renowned theme song by acclaimed Japanese composer Yoko Kanno. Aoki performed this one-time remix at the Los Angeles premiere of COWBOY BEBOP on November 11, which was simultaneously live-streamed on Aoki’s social media platforms.

The virtual conversation focused on Aoki’s process and his inspiration for remixing Kanno’s iconic anime soundtrack as a Japanese American. As an award-winning artist and one of the most in-demand entertainers in the world as well as a longtime fan of COWBOY BEBOP, Aoki’s remix exemplifies that music is universal, timeless, and transcends across countries while paying homage to the Japanese roots of the series.

Check out the remix below!

Party Favor is evolving. With his past few singles, he’s shown a drive and passion for reinvention, most especially with his newest single, “Whenever You’re Around.”

As the follow up to his 2021 singles “Save Me” and “Losing My Mind” featuring Elohim, “Whenever You’re Around” is a low-bass sophisticated rump-shaker.

Says Party Favor, “This song first started life as a session with my friend Drew Love way back before the pandemic. It was super pop-leaning and we both loved it but never really ended up doing anything with the idea, but over the past year as I was working on all this new music, I remembered the vocal and reopened the project. I was able to totally flip and resample Drew’s voice into something completely removed from where it started, and I turned it into what I think of as this crazy hybrid mashup of genres and parts of ‘Party Favor.’ This is one of my favorite records on this new project and I love how it morphed from how it started to where it’s at now. The song has taken on a new life and the meaning of it is darker in tone about how we often times aren’t present in our relationships and focus on people and things only when they benefit us in the moment. And also it bangs. Hope you dig it!”
