D Malik is one of dance music’s newest faces, and with his debut release, he’s proving he’s here to stay. Teaming up with vocalist Michael Lanza, D Malik makes his massive debut with “Prince.” Out now on all platforms, “Prince” sits at the intersection of stadium rock and festival dance sound.

The Dubai-raised, Los Angeles-based producer brings a unique perspective to his music, drawing inspiration from a multitude of genres from rock to electronic to rap. Inspired by the likes of The Weeknd, Daft Punk, and more creative megaheads, D Malik is the amalgamation of the best of modern day music.

Speaking on his debut single in a press release, D Malik explains: “‘Prince’ is the nucleus – the start of this journey, in every way imaginable. It’s a piece I’ve been working on for almost two years, first created at my studio in Los Angeles and then taken around the world, from London to my hometown of Dubai. It was the first record from this new era that really impacted me – and the one that absolutely means the most…”

An artist to watch now and well into the future, D Malik’s exciting journey is one to keep a close eye on. Not to mention, the rising artist dropped a power packed music video, which you can check out here.

Swedish House Mafia have teamed with iconic superstar The Weeknd for a new single and video “Moth to a Flame.” The new song, initially teased during the trio’s landmark performance at the MTV VMAs pre-show, marks the band’s first new music since announcing their reunion this past July with a pair of new singles “It Gets Better” and “Lifetime (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & 070 Shake).”

“We found out he was a big fan of us,” Steve Angello told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “And then obviously, Sal, who manages both of us put us together. And then it was just super organic. We just hung out and had a really late night in LA and hit the studio. And then we spent a couple days together just having fun and listening to music and talking about ideas and visuals and or whatever it was. When you vibe with somebody and you appreciate their art, I think you just connect. It’s like a friendship. It’s that kind of connection.”

Sebastian Ingrosso continued, “[…] he has a very unique voice that really sounds good on its own. We really had to keep the music back. We have to really make space for his voice. I think that was the key that we early on understood. Yeah. If this is going to work, we need to really keep it stripped and focus on Abel’s voice. And then we can do our thing.”

The trio of songs continue to build anticipation toward the band’s forthcoming full length Paradise Again, slated for release early next year with a Special Tour Edition CD pre-order available now that unlocks exclusive pre-sale tour tickets.

In conjunction with the new single, Swedish House Mafia have announced an international tour for 2022 produced by Live Nation, their first proper run that includes US dates since 2012. Long revered by fans for their bombastic live performances, the band’s previous outing, “One Last Tour,” sold over 1,000,000 tickets. The 2022 jaunt will follow the trio’s just announced performance at Coachella 2022 and includes arenas across the United States and Europe – full dates below.

Tickets go on sale to the general public next Friday, October 29th at swedishhousemafia.com, with the Special Tour Edition CD pre-order pre-sale beginning on Wednesday, October 27.

San Pacho is making some serious steps in a positive, growing direction. Signed to Matroda’s label Terminal Underground, San Pacho debuts his first EP of 2021 Mandala EP, which follows up High EP that was released in 2020.

Composed of 3 tracks, Mandala EP bestows a ton of house love all in one fulfilling experience. After teasing “The Pressure,” which continues to jump up in stream count and support, “Set Me Free,” and “What Ya,” lets out the full spectrum of what this EP is all about.



The title of each track properly hints at what will unfold within, “The Pressure,” building up a peculiar array of momentum that climaxes as the EP segues into “Set Me Free.” “What Ya,” take a bit of the theatrics from both previous singles to give a mix of something tantalizing, ending the EP on a high note.

Mandala EP gives a more complete impression of who San Pacho is and what his contribution to house more embodies. The DJ/producer is far from his first release and keeps busy. He’s released six singles this year, excluding the teaser track off of this EP, with one of those high-octane productions being a collaboration with Matroda titled “La Pasion.”

Duo Satellite Empires are back and are presenting a new chapter in their career that is stronger than ever. “Eternal Vespers,” is their first single of 2021, released on New Dawn Collective, their first single in 2 years. The single is a tease of their upcoming EP, set to be called Zeroth EP. Being exposed to Satellite Empires previously renders an understanding that their capabilities to bring a multilateral, inspiring electronic music story to their masses is very much there.

Their releases string together a canon that fans can track and easily digest. Themes of the rich narrative include “exploring the limits of eternity, the destruction of a cosmic civilization, the cost of war, the weight of victory, and the will to live.”

Alene and Nestor Padilla-Tille, the two behind the name Satellite Empires, have outdone themselves in “Eternal Vespers.” The single is driven by a tasty toplines, that is juxtaposed by an epic cimenetic drop with post-hardcore/emo instrumental influences. The blend of various genres organically meld together, rendering something that is refreshing and will surely awaken fans to the greatness of the project they are pursuing.

It’s nearly time for Conrank’s next album to grace the world, but not before one last single. Teaming up with Charmae once again on “Heart of Fire,” the two show off their uncanny ability to craft the perfect intersection of heavy and emotional.

“I love working with Charmae, and I’m so proud to have another two tracks with her for the forthcoming album. ‘Heart of Fire’ was a journey and we went in a few different directions with it, and I’m so hyped about the final track, I love it so much and it works so well on the LP.” – Conrank

Booming bass, angelic vocals, hype synths, and bone-rattling kicks give “Heart of Fire” a vibrant and memorable sound, even among all the other standouts on the album. Check it out below.

It’s been a persistent, long road for the intersection between music and video games. A little over two decades ago we had the soundtrack from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, soon games like Forza and Need For Speed incorporated soundtracks, then FIFA and NBA 2k, even producers like Noisia were creating scores for games like Devil May Cry. In the past couple of years, we’ve seen that relationship blossom with in-game performances in Fortnite and entirely unique bands created in League of Legends. Festivals in Minecraft, partnerships with Rocket League… the list goes on.

The newest addition to the cross-section of dance music, specifically, and gaming comes via Insomniac and Roblox with the introduction of World Party, the first music festival to be held on Roblox.

As more than 500,000 attendees gather Under the Electric Sky at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend, fans can join the festival in the metaverse October 23 – October 25, with a virtual pre-show event airing October 22. The World Party space is open now.

“To partner and create with a metaverse leader like Roblox is an exciting opportunity for Insomniac. Bringing people from all over the world together through art and experience is a goal we’re always working hard to achieve, and together with Roblox we are able to expand this into the digital world.” says Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac. “This experience takes the creativity and inspiration behind EDC and all other festivals and events to new heights. Bringing our vision to life digitally and opening up the wonder and magic of EDC to anyone of any age, no matter where they are. As we say at EDC, ‘All Are Welcome Here’.”

In partnership with Wonder Works Studio, creators of the top experience Overlook Bay, EDC on Roblox will feature five ‘party all-night tents’ inspired by this year’s festival theme with over 50 artists — including Kaskade, Zedd, Alison Wonderland, Louis the Child, Slander b2b2 said the sky, Rezz, Loud Luxury, DJ Snake, Alan Walker, Phantoms, Wax Motif, Oliver Heldens, and Benny Benassi — streaming their performances across virtual stages. Over 25 unique accessories can be acquired using custom virtual Kandi to equip and express individual style, and just joining the World Party enters attendees to win real and virtual merchandise. The space will feature mini-games that allow fans to race through the vast world, collect cuddly animals, dance battle against friends, and build their home in Camp EDC — the festival campsite.

Attending EDC

Full festival details and information on how to sign up for a free Roblox account to enter EDC in World Party can be found here. Roblox users can attend any of the over 50 performances throughout the weekend.

Performances will begin on Roblox starting at 4:00 pm PT on October 22 in a limited pre-show, with the majority of EDC sets to begin broadcasting the following day. The artists themselves will also jump into the metaverse through server hopping and meet and greets inside the World Party experience throughout the festival.

Over a decade ago, Kavinsky became a prominent name in dance music with the release of “Nightcall.” Hardly anyone could have predicted the longevity or popularity of the track, or that it would receive remixes from Breakbot and Robotaki, and a placement in the movie ‘Drive.’ It was first released on its own album Nightcall, along with “Pacific Coast Highway” and a host of remixes, and then again in 2013 on his debut album, OutRun.

Since then, Kavinsky hasn’t released a thing.

Now, the French DJ is finally gearing up to release his next album, Reborn, and the first single is imminent. “Renegade” will officially release in less than a month, on November 19.

Seeing as this is the first new song from Kavinsky in nearly a decade, it’s hard to tell what sort of sound he’ll employ. But no matter what, there is tangible excitement for the release. Stay tuned for any previews or snippets from the track and check back in a month to hear the full new song.

The next chapter in the storied history of RÜFÜS DU SOL is here as the trio release their fourth studio album, Surrender.

Surrender isn’t a whole lot of innovation for the group, bringing back familiar motifs and melodies to each of their songs. It is, however, an incredible display of growth as each track has a noticeable sheen that was not as prevalent on previous works. Part of that could be due to RÜFÜS experimenting with collaboration for the first time, welcoming Curtis Harding to the fold on the album’s title track as well as an LA based children’s choir on both the title track and “Make It Happen.”

It is this depth of field that results in something that feels more human and heartfelt than ever before.

The album arrives in the run up to a whirlwind touring and festival season for the band, which has already seen them perform parts of the new project on world renowned stages such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Austin City Limits, and Governors Ball. With festival stints at III Points Miami and Outside Lands San Francisco still to come, Surrender gives RÜFÜS DU SOL fans a unique opportunity to accompany them into their world.

“Surrender is a message of personal maturity and of a deep connection to their community, as RÜFÜS DU SOL find themselves comfortably expressing their personal pains and heartaches for all to bear witness,” reads a description of the album.

Listen below.
