As of April this year, it was still just too early to throw a major music festival in the US. Thus, Coachella was postponed for the second year running. Festivals later in the year, like this past weekend’s HARD Summer and Lollapalooza were a couple of the first major festivals back, but those like Ultra and Coachella weren’t so lucky.

Still, Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett wanted to provide fans some “reassurance” given the difficult year the concert and live event industry has faced since March 2020. So, he confirmed that Rage Against the Machine and Travis Scott will return to headline the festival in 2022, while Frank Ocean has been bumped to 2023 in a rare interview with LA Times.

“Right now, it’s the Wild West,” Tollett is quoted as saying. “I’m just trying to be as fair as I can to artists and to the fans to make sure that eventually they get to see everyone that we talked about.”

Tollett also discussed the decision to wait until its normally scheduled month in 2022 rather than throw a festival in Fall 2021, like some other events. “You’ll never remember that you had to wait, but you’ll remember if you went to a really bad event.”

Excision is gearing up for something huge!

The teaser video below draws his logo in the sand, along with a rather specific message: “Announcement coming August 3rd at 12 PM PT.” Given the nature of the waves and music in the background, all signs point to destination festival.

Commenters on the thread have already dubbed the suspected event as “Beach Lands.” Although, no further information is offered up at this time. Please, keep in mind this is purely speculation.

Just recently, Excision confirmed a forthcoming album in 2021. He shared in a previous post, “Love seeing the crowd go crazy to Decimate! Will be on the new album later this year ;)”

Lollapalooza began this Thursday, setting off four day of intense festival vibes in Chicago. Illenium and Steve Aoki closed out the festival on Thursday, but yesterday saw Marshmello taking closing duties and by all accounts, it was a time and a half.

Of particular note was his opening track, which happens to be a forthcoming collaboration with new Disciple Records signee, Ray Volpe. Confirmed by Ray’s manager on Instagram, Pat Ward, who also manages Blanke, Heimanu, and Redrum, Marshmello opened the set with the explosive new collab, calling on the crowd to “take it back to the old school sound.”

The combination sounds like a match made in heaven, blending the two artists’ styles into a whopping festival banger that’s sure to get regular play throughout the rest of the year.

Ghastly switches gears from his recent dubstep EP, The OG, to enter the realm of house music. “Burner,” a long-awaited ID is out today, as the producer heads into a new era of Haunted Haus.

“Burner” centers around a Burning Man narrative, with trippy vocals, a low, playful bassline and plenty of “boots” and “cats” in the mix. After taking the production on tour over the past three years, Ghastly has finally decided to release it to the public.

“Y’all remember that house album I was gonna put out? Well — the time has come,” Ghastly shares. “The first record off the HAUNTED HAUS album is called ‘Burner.’”

Ghastly’s shift into house music is no surprise, as the multi-dimensional producer has been popping up at shows with house music power-player, JOYRYDE, to form their unstoppable duo, GHOSTRYDR.

Listen to “Burner” here and look out for Ghastly’s upcoming Haunted Haus album, release date TBA.

Seven Lions made his momentous return to Red Rocks earlier this week, supported by Mitis, Gem + Tauri, and special guest Andrew Bayer. The whole show was probably pure magic, the attendees could attest, but Twitter seems to be abuzz about one particular ID from the Ophelia head’s set — and it’s been confirmed to be a collaboration with Lights.

Lights just put out a new single with deadmau5, plus a “meowingtons remix,” so she’s fresh in the EDM zeitgeist. This new collaboration, especially with one of EDM’s preeminent melodic bass artists, is sure to have fans going head over heels once it finally releases.

So far, there’s not a whole lot more information about the release, but the video and knowledge that Lights is singing on it is enough to get curiosities piqued.

Check out the video below!

Sparkee is the new king of funk-tronic music. He’s curated an immaculate discography, perfectly meshing disco, funk, and electronic into a truly iconic sound.

The talented Canadian producer has already had a massive year, most recently winning Tiesto’s remix contest with his rendition of “The Business“ that has already earned over 1.6 million streams on Spotify. Now, Sparkee is back with another incredible remix, this time for Ellis and his song “Orbit“, out exclusively on none other than Monstercat.

Sparkee’s remix is another hit in his arsenal, packed with bright, NuDisco melodies that can’t help but make you want to move the minute you press play. Here’s what Sparkee had to say about it:

At the end of every year, Your EDM releases a list of 40 artists we believe will do great things in the following year. In 2020, we put euphorian on that list, and their debut EP on Never Say Die only serves to reinforce that our decision was 100% accurate.

Where to even begin with youth, the 6-track EP that dropped today on NSD. It’s bombastic, diverse, powerful, and perpetually interesting. It’s also a sound that we haven’t really heard on NSD apart from Moore Kismet, which is no coincidence as the two are friends and Moore actually designed euphorian’s new cover art and logo.

But that is not to say that euphorian was given special treatment — one listen to the EP will throw away all misconceptions of such as you intently listen to the bubbling synths, deep bass, and beautiful melodies on each of the tracks. Beginning with the dazzling chaos of “mentality” and ending with the opulent, refined songwriting and composition of “magic,” the entire EP is a polished and pure listening experience from start to finish.

Listen to youth below and don’t forget to follow euphorian!

It seems incredibly improbable that it’s taken this long for legends RL Grime and Baauer to officially team up, but as we’ve seen over the past year and change, reality can often be stranger than it seems. Grime and Baauer have only collaborated once before, on 2013’s “Infinite Daps,” but now they’ve debuted a new project HÆRNY, combining their names Henry Steinway and Harry Bauer Rodrigues, releasing a sizzling drum & bass tune, “Fallaway.”

Both artists have dabbled in drum & bass individually in the past, with RL Grime releasing “Shine” on 2018’s NOVA and Baauer going for the higher tempo on “AETHER” from his sophomore album PLANET’S MAD. Still, the decision to go DnB on their first collaborative release is an amazing feat. Not only that, it’s entirely unique.

Plenty of producers, especially in dubstep, will throw in one or two DnB songs in their sets or sometimes perform a rare “special” DnB set. But for two producers who, for all intents and purposes, have their origins in trap, to produce drum & bass in their own way gives it a wholly idiosyncratic identity. “Fallaway” doesn’t easily fall into any comparisons; you wouldn’t say “this sounds like XXXXX” for any drum & bass artist.

The two will be playing b2b for the penultimate set on HARD Summer’s main stage tomorrow, July 31. Listen to “Fallaway” below!
