Electric Zoo: Supernaturals is moving forward as planned despite flash flooding caused by Storm Ida.

Last night, New York declared a state of emergency as Storm Ida dumped historic rainfall and caused mass flooding across New York City and the Tri-State area. The National Weather Service warns of residual flooding into Friday due to heightened rivers and saturated grounds.

Electric Zoo remains optimistic, however, reporting that festival grounds are in “good condition” leading into the event scheduled for this weekend over September 3 – 5.

“We hope everyone is safe from storm Ida last night, and that any damages are repaired quickly,” Electric Zoo opens up in the statement below. “We are NY tough! Randall’s Island has new drainage systems in place for scenarios like this.”

Thankfully, no more rain is expected and the sun is shining, giving the grounds time to dry up before Electric Zoo kicks off. Organizers say they will report back on conditions tomorrow.

Incredibly, after nearly a decade releasing some of the world’s best and most popular liquid dancefloor tracks, his heavily anticipated Transformations LP, dropping on his Liquicity imprint next Friday, September 10 will be Maduk’s first in five years and first ever on his own Liquicity imprint. It stands to reason, really: if one is trying to launch and manage a successful label, one likely finds oneself occupied with business and A&R matters that would inevitably take cut into the time needed to produce a whole album. Add to that Liquicity’s status as the world’s premiere Liquid events promotion company, it’s a wonder Maduk has time to sleep, let alone dream up an album.

Despite sounding technically deceptively simple and having the most pop cachet of all D&B genres, liquid dancefloor is one of the most difficult subgenres to produce. Because there’s nowhere to hide in heavy bass or crunchy synths, every subtle point  of liquid D&B has to be immaculate. It also requires literal miles more songwriting and than many other subgenres: multiple lines of melody, perfect tone on the sound design, snappy snares, ambient background that’s emotive and cinematic. And that’s all before the vocalists and engineering.

All this is to make the final product seem simple and effortless, so liquid is truly the ballet of D&B. Maduk is thus truly a principal performer, and Transformations solidifies his position as such;. Clean, emotive, theatrical and a thinly veiled commentary on the “transformations” we’ve gone through in the last 18 months or so, though it’s likely this album was also about a personal transformation for Maduk.

There’s a great deal of diversity of sound in Transformations, dispelling any ideas that liquid is a one-trick pony. Ranging in style from ravey, disco-inspired hardcore and breakbeat to modern, synthy dancefloor to soulful and minimal true liquid, the LP shows how much there is to Maduk’s range and to the melodically-driven subgenre he loves. For our premiere today, Your EDM managed to snag the final release before the album’s release. “Ready Now” featuring vocalist Anvy is the lead track on Transformations and announces its arrival in classic Maduk style. Flooded with expertly written synth melodies, snappy snares and a gorgeous ambient landscape, listeners will not have to check they clicked the right link to know it’s Maduk. It’s a perfect intro to the complex and hard-won journey of sound.

It takes a lot of time to create a big concept album like Transformations. Given his obvious perfectionism and all the other things he has going on at any given time, Maduk’s likely to be thrilled to finally debut this Swan Lake of an album. It goes without saying that his fans and the D&B community at large will be thrilled, too.

Transformations will drop September 10 on Liquicity Records. “Ready Now” will release individually on Beatport tomorrow, September 3 and can be pre-ordered here. To pre-order/pre-save both digital and vinyl copies of the album, click here.

With the growing popularity of electronic dance music over the past decade, the opportunities afforded to EDM producers have grown immeasurably. Once relegated to dark warehouses and renegade events in deserts, we’ve now seen artists like Marshmello, Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and more partner with pop culture media and brands more than ever before.

Kaskade appears to be jumping into the deep end, announcing some sort of new partnership DC Comics, creators of Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, and, of particular relevance in his case, Superman.

The American producer shared an obscure tweet depicting an image of the Superman logo along with his own logo, tagging DC Comics and including a link to his shop page. We’re hesitant to theorize any sort of film/soundtrack partnership given the shop logo. It’s more likely that they will release some sort of merch collaboration, as Steve Aoki and Dim Mak have been doing with many brands for the past couple years.

You can follow the link below and sign up for any updates direct from the source when they’re ready, or follow Your EDM to keep an eye on what’s going on.

2021 has been an exciting year for Staten Island-native Zack Martino. The Armada signee is hot off the release of his electronica-infused punk single “Snow White,” a modern rock anthem inspired by the artist’s musical influences. Now, “Snow White” receives an enthralling music video accompaniment.

Stepping into a day of the life of a girl experiencing a breakup, the video follows the character as she attempts to make the best of the situation by attending a pool party where Zack Martino is performing. As the video progresses, the party intensifies with a jubilant energy that can be felt through the screen as Kyle Reynolds’ vocals and Zack Martino’s masterful production soar in the background. “This record’s about falling for someone who just isn’t ready for a relationship,” says Zack Martino on his new single. “It’s a toxic tale about how a girl wants to fit in when she’s losing sight of reality.”

Doubling as the perfect post-breakup song as well as an excitable party soundtrack, “Snow White” glistens with its undeniably addictive rhythm and carefree ardor. Teaming up with producer Reed Hoeschler (Rightfield), Zack Martino and Kyle Reynolds create a modern punk anthem for the 21st century.

Check out the music video for “Snow White” below, and stream the single on your favorite platform here.

“House is welcoming, adaptive, and for everyone, but take an evening and immerse yourself in the history of it all before you take that plunge of representing it. It’s a way of life here.”

– Hiroko Yamamura

It is nearly impossible for Chicago not to come up when you have a conversation about house music. It is the city that not only birthed the genre but nurtured and cultivated a music scene that still acts as an archetype for people today.

For some, “The Night that Disco Died” acts as a pivotal point when one genre rose from the literal ashes of another and was able to offer a new haven for a community of POC and LGBTQIA+ that needed it most. Fast-forward 30+ years, and DJs are still influenced by those early records of Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, and DJ Ron Hardy that helped define a generation.

While dance music has undergone a strong mainstream adaptation over the last decade, there has been deliberate preservation of the roots of House music within the Chicago scene, where the genre still thrives. Whether catching Derrick Carter throw down Sundays at Queen! or chatting up Michael Serafini while crate-digging at Gramaphone Records, Chicago is undeniably House.

ARC Music Festival can help carry on that tradition by bridging the gap between the roots of House music and a younger generation of listeners with a combination of Chicago artists and new school acts on its lineup.

Your EDM spoke with artists performing this weekend to hear about how the genre has influenced their work and the scene they are a part of.

Hiroko Yamamura

(Chicago Based)

I am so excited to finally get a chance to showcase all the diverse factors which contributed to my perspective of the “Chicago sound.” As an Asian woman and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m thrilled that this festival has chosen to have artists that don’t fit the traditional mold of what folks think of as a “festival DJ” and have encouraged me just to hit the stage and be me. I want the people of this city to be proud of the amazing music and diverse sounds that are a product of what can be an unfair, unjust yet beautiful city. You don’t always have to be reaching for the newest sensations and trends from overseas. I promise you’ll find brilliance in your own backyard.

What was your first exposure to Chicago House music?
We had a huge advantage that one of the commercial terrestrial radio stations in Chicago (B96 and WBMX) featured world-renowned House DJs regularly, so it was just part of growing up. In my social circle, the lines between techno and House were always intentionally blurry, with many artists seamlessly incorporating the two. I’d say the first track that I felt represented Chicago House purely at the time has got to be Cajmere & Dajae’s “Brighter Days.” It’s soulful, got a juke attitude, and has a tremendous vocal hook that is timeless.

With the rapid expansion of dance music genres, do you feel a commitment to keeping Chicago’s influence well represented?
I feel like, in many ways, Chicago’s influence in House and Techno has devolved to that, just influence. So many of the innovators and creators of the hits are playing small bars on the weekend locally, while younger, better dancing DJs are making incredible wages playing their tracks around the world. It’s a genuinely working-class issue, where those DJs would have no music to play at these festivals if the working-class producer wasn’t home carefully composing songs. It’s not an easy issue to approach, as, in the end, it is up to the attendee to choose who they are buying a ticket to see and what artists resonate with them. I’m just hoping that maybe it’s worth taking a second glance at some of the foundations of this city because I promise you’ll be impressed.

What role do you think more mainstream adaptations of house music play in leading more people to Chicago house music?
I think it’s a great way to get started when you are first getting into electronic music. Seeing something on TV or a commercial may get you interested in the concept of Chicago House music. However, while genres are subjective and lose meaning by the day, a lot of the pop music that is sold as House has more in common with a Justin Bieber / Skrillex than a Derrick Carter. From a technical, structural, and artistic standpoint, adding the word house to many of these top 40 “house” songs is such an incredible stretch. It is by no means the fault of the artists and likely a significant labor marketing decision. However, these words have power and history, and putting a bit of respect on something that has a different meaning to those that coined the term and lived its inception might be a step in the right direction. So, if you feel like your song is House, go nuts, call it what you like, but don’t put too many feelings on waiting for folks to agree with you. House is welcoming, adaptive, and for everyone, but take an evening and immerse yourself in the history of it all before you take that plunge of representing it. It’s a way of life here.

Will Clarke

How has Chicago house influenced your career as an artist?
Chicago was a huge influence on the beginning of my career as an artist. Green Velvet, Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon, DJ Funk; They are the reason why I was making records like I was during my early days as a producer.

When you think of Chicago house music, which quintessential track comes to mind?
Green Velvet – Stalker

House music has seen an explosion of sub-genres over the last five to ten years, is there an artist that you feel properly bridges the gap between the old school stylings and this new era? Why?
This is a tough question because, in house music, most artists are taking influence from the 80s/90’s so it’s almost hard to say who has bridged the gap. Personally, right now, after covid, I feel like electronic music needs a bit of a shakeup as it feels like there is a lot of the same stuff out there.

Do you think festivals like ARC represent a revival of House and techno within the US?
100% it’s what the states need right now; more proper techno/house festivals. Movement has always done that so well in Detroit, and it’s nice to see ARC do the same with solid lineups in Chicago.

Gene Farris

(Chicago Based)

What was your first exposure to Chicago house music?
My first exposure to House music was when I was nine years old. Some friends of mine were DJs in my neighborhood growing up, and I caught the bug very early. The first album I bought was Kraftwerk’s “Computer World,” and my life changed – I’ve never looked back since.

With the rapid expansion of dance music genres, do you feel a commitment to keeping Chicago’s influence well represented?
I always feel a commitment to keep Chicago relevant and one of the major cities in the game. We started it all there, no question about that, and with that comes a certain sense of pride. So, with every DJ set and every song I make, I always have Chicago in mind.

What role do you think more mainstream adaptations of house music play in leading more people to Chicago house music?
Well, I think the more people hear commercial House music, the more they want to hear the real shit. When I was first going out, I had no idea what was up. I was learning and finding what I actually liked. I believe it is the same for kids today, they usually get introduced in the scene to the music by something commercial and popular, but they usually never stay in that lane once they find the real shit. If you turn on the radio looking for real hip-hop, you’re never going to find it there, and the same goes for Chicago House music.

DJ Heather

(Chicago Based)

What was your first exposure to Chicago House music?
My first exposure to House was via the radio. Like most Chicago kids, radio shows like those presented by The Hot Mix Five provided so much music at our fingertips.

What role do you think more mainstream adaptations of house music play in leading more people to Chicago House music?
I think the signature sound of Chicago is one that incorporates many different styles of music; techno, disco, new wave, industrial, gospel, etc. It’s how you present it, seamlessly merging genres and making them your own. That’s the Chicago way.

Do you believe that a festival like ARC is doing enough to represent Chicago artists amongst its lineup?
ARC creating a space for hometown talent to shine is invaluable. The talent pool is deep, and it’s good to remind people of that fact.

MEDUZA

What excites you most about playing the debut ARC Festival in the birthplace of house music? Have you done anything different in terms of preparation for this festival?
It will be exciting playing our first festival in Chicago until now we only had club experiences in the city, and both of them were amazing, our set will be full of our music and music we love from other artists as always, we have a lot of new music coming soon so expect some new things.

How has Chicago house influenced your career as an artist?
I think we’re all have been influenced by that Chicago house sound. It created a new world in the industry. We are grateful to all the House gods that gave us the opportunity to grow up with this magical music and enjoy and celebrate the city that gave them a chance and the opportunity to spread this music with the world.

When you think of Chicago House music, which quintessential track comes to mind?
Marshall Jefferson with “Move Your body” and with “Love Can’t Turn Around”. These two are iconic.

House music has seen an explosion of sub-genres over the last five to ten years, is there an artist that you feel properly bridges the gap between the old school stylings and this new era? Why?
Eric Prydz, he’s for me, the perfect example of the old and new school. His style includes sounds from the ’80s, modern House groove, and funk bass rhythm.

DJ Pierre

(Chicago Based)

With the rapid expansion of dance music genres, do you feel a commitment to keeping Chicago’s influence well represented?
Most definitely. I genuinely believe it’s up to us and our city to completely take ownership of this music like never before. But I can’t do it alone. We all have to play a purposeful part to elevate the people in Chicago and the scene here.

What was your first exposure to Chicago House music?
My best friend Spanky from our group Phuture took me to hear Ron Hardy at the Music Box!

What role do you think more mainstream adaptations of house music play in leading more people to Chicago House music?
I’m not sure that any adaptations lead anything back to Chicago. Most think this music came from Europe!!

RÜFÜS DU SOL recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden to share an exclusive live version of their new song “Alive,” as performed at one of two headlining Red Rocks shows last month.

Much of the performance features close range camera angles with an intimate feel, while also cutting away to Red Rocks’ gorgeous landscape and packed out venue. It’s an excellent depiction of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s full production and a glimpse of what to expect when seeing them on tour.

Their haunting new single, “Alive,” features gripping lyrics and broken beat percussion, tinged with darkness and glistening synths. It’s the prime example of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s current sound, as their fourth studio album is expected out in 2021.

In this clip from The Late Late Show with James Corden, the band talks finishing up their forthcoming album (yes, it’s still in the works). Plus, pre-show rituals, returning to live music and performing at Red Rocks.

Watch here!

Porter Robinson’s Second Sky Festival returns for its second year in just two weekends, after taking a year off due to COVID-19. In its place arose two iterations of Secret Sky, a live stream festival featuring a bevvy of artists and acts that Robinson himself curated, but, of course, it’s good to have the real thing back.

In a series of tweets letting fans know that they can request refunds within 48 hours (now approximately 24 hours at time of publishing), he also revealed some incredible news regarding immersive installations at the event.

Nassal, the company that delivered the incredible Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Japan, and Hollywood, has been contracted to create bespoke installations for Second Sky. And, given the already immersive nature of the album and theme behind it, there’s no limit to what they might be able to create.

There are some new tickets available to replace the refunded ones, but you’re going to have to get lucky. Check out secondskyfest.com to see if you can snag one.

i am insanely hyped to tell you that Nassal will be the ones making immersive installations and transforming Second Sky! i’m still in disbelief that it’s happening.

the initial stuff they’ve shown me is just so immersive and cool, i cannot wait to see it with you in person.

Shoegaze rock from bands like Hum, Catherine Wheel, and Sponge in the 90s and the more modern, electronically-styled version of dream pop from the likes of M83, Washed Out and Mura Masa have always been pretty good bedfellows. Artists like Tame Impala, Ratatat and Mogwai have sought to marry the two sister genres, with varying levels of success, but the cross section of shoegaze and dream pop always seems to be a great jumping off point for creativity and innovation in music. Add some EDM-inspired trap beats into that mix, and that’s where we find Australian producer, Tenuous Threads.

Inspired by the afore-mentioned Tame Impala, Mogwai and the great Miles Davis, Tenuous Threads has said outright that he finds sticking to one genre or subgenre quite boring, and it’s evident in the diverse sound and style that peppers his second EP, Mettle. 

I draw from a wide range of influences and I get bored with a specific genre very quickly. That is why I make music that is stylistically disparate. For my latest EP, I wanted to be able to tie the tunes together in some way so I came up with the idea of using the lyrics to unify the songs. I was inspired by Nordic Noir to develop a narrative that explored the emotional roller coaster of a girl who has been abducted and held prisoner. Each track on Mettle explores a different phase of her psychological journey, from her abduction to her eventual escape…”

That certainly explains the title of the EP as well, the term “mettle” being a somewhat sharper synonym for resilience or mental fortitude. It’s an interesting reason to pick a unifying storyline for an EP, the desire not to be limited by style of genre, but it certainly works here. Compared with his first EP, 2020’s Crypsis, however, Mettle does indeed seem a bit more cohesive theme-wise. Crypsis also has vocals throughout but they’re not composed as a typical pop song’s could be and are in fact quite disjointed in the way they interact with the music, giving that EP more of a dadaist, Miles Davis-meets-electro-trap vibe.

That’s not to say that Mettle adheres to any one style; far from it, in fact, so it’s clear Tenuous Threads was able to achieve his dual goals of telling an abduction story and staying genre-neutral the emotion of the music and story, however, are anything but neutral. From the lead track “Abduction,” the listener is launched into the world of the kidnapped girl via both music and lyrics. It’s visceral to say the least; the lyrics filled with the graphic scene of the abduction and the music filled with despair, hurt and terror. And that’s just track one.

Because of the emotive nature of Mettle, it’s hard at first to extract all the styles and techniques contained therein. “Abduction” achieves its emotional feel with soaring guitars and classical strings grounded by a heavy trap beat. “Hope Springs” is more steeped in vintage synth pop with more of a disco house beat, though that does nothing to dull its emotional impact.

The turning point/middle track of this musical saga, third track “Is It Any Wonder” brings the metal to Mettle as the most analog rock-inspired track on the EP. With lashings of prog rock, if the listener was heretofore unaware of Mettle being a sort of rock opera, it would be pretty clear with this track. It really defines “mettle,” as the captor struggles with her own mind and will to fight more even than her captors, the nearly nine-minute long, emotionally fraught track crashes to an almost desperate end, giving way to the much looser, blues-inspired psychedelic rock of “Lucid Delusion.” A bit of a surprise after such a charged first half, this track seems to indicate the captor escaping into her mind rather than fighting.

The EP’s clear climax is contained in “Now or Never,” where the prisoner finally breaks out of both her physical and mental prisons. Another psychological examination of such situations, “Now or Never” really outlines, both in music and lyrics, the mental fortitude that’s required to break away from abuse, loneliness, codependence, et al. Mostly 90s-inspired alt rock in terms of style, “Now or Never” unwinds into jazzy, trip hop-style peace after a news bullet announces she girl has been found.

When artists who are generally experimental and free-flowing with their ideas of genre and style do actually set their minds to putting together a cohesive work, the results are often extraordinary. In the case of Tenuous Threads and Mettle, an already more than proficient artist has managed to create a work that’s visceral, emotional and relatable that, in the meantime, sideswipes the notion of genre. Swept up in the story and feelings of this extraordinary journey, most fans won’t even notice or care that so many lines are blurred.

Mettle is out now and can be streamed along with Tenuous Threads’s first EP, Crypsis, on Spotify. To see the videos for “Hope Springs,” visit his YouTube page.

The official Burning Man may be cancelled this year, but the gathering’s principles of radical self-reliance and expression are perhaps engrained too deeply to let even an official cancellation completely stop the celebration. According to officials at the Bureau of Land Management, which controls the space where the event usually takes place, roughly 10,000 people will end up descending upon Black Rock City for a renegade event, and they’ve already started as early as August 20.

Normally, the public lands are available to use year-round with a 14-day limit, but due to COVID-19, restrictions have been placed on that free-use until October 31. However, as Billboard notes, those restrictions aren’t doing much to curb the free spirits of Burners who would have missed out on yet another year of the gathering.

To add fuel to the Burn, fires raging nearby at Lake Tahoe has smoke “drifting across California, Montana, Nevada and beyond. On Aug. 25, CNN reported that smoke from the Caldor Fire was creating the worst air quality in the country in Reno, Nevada,” just two hours south of Black Rock City.

Because of the restrictions on gatherings in place, and the thick smoke blanketing the sky, this year’s renegade event looks and will look much different than the usual spectacle of lights, lasers, RVs, and of course, the burning of the Man. Even porta-potties and medical services will be absent, making this event potentially dangerous in the summer heat as well as filthy for the Bureau of Land Management crew to pick up after.

(That being said, another one of the event’s principles is “Leaving No Trace,” so hopefully that is adhered to as strongly as the principles that brought this renegade together in the first place.)

“[Heather O’Hanlon, Public affairs specialist at Winnemucca District Office Bureau of Land Management], says Bureau of Land Management Law Enforcement is working with Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe County Sheriff’s Offices to provide law enforcement and safety measures this week on the playa — Black Rock Desert’s dry lakebed,” Billboard reports. “‘Free Burn’ attendees are also being advised to take extra precautions around theft, given that no tickets are required for the event and there is thus no one controlling who comes on and off the site.”
