It’s been three years since Excision’s last album, Apex, the longest gap between any of his studio albums (if you count the Destroid album). But he’s just confirmed that we’re getting a whole new album this year, including recent fan-favorite, “Decimate.”

Ten years since the release of his debut album, Rated X, in 2011, Excision has grown into a household name for dubstep fans. From the Shambhala Village stage and Rottun, his old label, to his own festival in Lost Lands and new label Subsidia, the past few years have been very kind to the Canadian native.

Check out the clip of “Decimate” from one of his recent shows below!

Fresh off the release of his new album, LOUD, Sullivan King is already back with a new single, teaming up with Subtronics for “Take Flight.”

The two are particularly gracious to fans, offering a minute-long preview rather than the absolute teasers that some artists share. It features Sully’s iconic screaming, both vocally and on guitar, as well as a thrashing dubstep drop. As Subtronics himself points out, “ahhh yes… twitter ensured the quality was minecraft/10,” but you get the idea all the same.

These two artists have never collaborated before, whether one remixing the other or on the same track, so this is definitely one to keep an eye on. It’s out this Friday, July 30!

A new Skrillex production has entered ASCAP’s database, revealing “Tip,” which attributes DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Future — as well as songwriters Denisia Andrews, Brittany Shaelyn Coney, and Joe Zarrillo.

While at first glance this looks like a brand new mega-collab in the making, Reddit users have pointed out the song “Tip” shares the same writing credits as DJ Khaled’s 2018 single “Top Off” featuring Jay-Z, Future and Beyoncé, sans Skrillex. Perhaps the more likely scenario is that Skrillex sampled the song for an upcoming production.

In recent months, the producer has unleashed a wave of high profile collaborations — “Butterflies” with Starrah and Four Tet, “Too Bizarre” with Swae Lee & Siiickbrain, “Supersonic (My Existence)” with Noisia, josh pan & Dylan Brady and “In Da Getto” with J Balvin.

Stay tuned for more from Skrillex coming soon!

A rave for LGBTQ+ rights is being thrown in Kyiv, Ukraine this Friday, directly outside the President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office.

As it stands, Ukrainian law does not consider attacks against queer people as hate crimes, which is undoubtedly dangerous and unjust for the community… Something Ukraine Pride hopes to change.

Sofila Lapina, co-founder of Ukraine Pride, is helping organize the event in order to celebrate and fight for Queer voices across the country — “Rave Pride is the real face of the queer community and the youth of Ukraine today.”

Lapina continues, “Advocacy is any action that shines a light on the violations of a person’s rights, and UkrainePride is looking for the most diverse and most creative ways to do that. The word ‘rave’ comes from the word ‘noise,’ and I believe the protest needs to be noisy so that people pay attention.”

“At Rave Pride, we are going to play loud music in the middle of the workday at the President’s Office so that the authorities can finally hear us, the same authorities who pretend that nothing is happening, that there are no hate crimes.”

The event will take place at 16:00 on July 30 and feature DJ performances from Nastia, Katro Zauber, Gael Abakarova and more.

REZZ and Deathpact have teamed up again for their third collaboration, available to preview now!

The downright savage new ID is heavy in nature, giving way to a relentless lead growl that controls the production. Signature sounds of both REZZ and Deathpact are intertwined, making this an especially haunting gem to look forward to.

Steve Aoki has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to new trends. So it’s no surprise that he’s taking the blockchain to a new level by teaming up with Seth Green’s Stoopid Buddy Stoodios to produce DOMINION X, the first episodic series to launch on the  blockchain.

Minted from a custom smart contract with unique interactive traits built directly into the NFT via Ether Cards, Dominion X is Aoki’s third major NFT project in 2021 alone, following his successful Dream Catcher and Neon Future drops. Dominion X’s Debut Short ‘Level 1’ introduces us to the world of Character X, a character personified with Aoki’s signature fang face logo, and his obliviously contentious relationship with the diminutive Chonk and Swole. You can watch their worlds collide in this “1 of 1” animated NFT debut short as well as get a chance to own any one of the 15 individual scenes that make up the short and win one of the physical puppets used in the actual making of the short.

“I first met Seth and the team at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios when I was invited to do a cameo on Robot Chicken back in 2015,” Steve Aoki recalls. “Ever since then we’ve been trying to find another chance to work together. The idea of launching the first ever ‘TV’ series on the blockchain really excited me. We realized that through NFT’s we can combine the traditional stop-motion animation that Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is known for with innovative fan-driven concepts that I’m passionate about: collectibles, community building and gaming. And I love the fact that we’ve been able to bring Character X, a creature that literally personifies me, to life in a completely new world with new characters & new adventures.”

“Collaborating with an artist like Steve Aoki guarantees you’ll make something unique, accessible, and out of this world,” states Seth Green. “We love pushing the boundaries of entertainment through technology and are beyond excited to bring this experience to an audience.”

It arrives on August 2nd via Nifty Gateway, the exclusive NFT marketplace owned by Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and on www.DominionXshow.com.

“2021 has been an incredible year of growth and creativity in the crypto space and it inspires me to see artists and teams pushing the boundaries of what is possible,” Tyler Winklevoss adds. “Launching the first episodic series on the blockchain that fans can now own is the kind of novel use-case that only the NFT medium can provide. I am thrilled that this is launching on Nifty Gateway.”

Last month, Tomorrowland officially cancelled after weeks of uncertainty. However, fellow Belgian festival Pukkelpop maintained that it would be going ahead with their event. The difference was due to regional rules regarding COVID, with Boom and Rumst denying Tomorrowland, but Mayor Steven Vandeput of the city of Hasselt gave Pukkelpop permission to move forward.

Now, sadly, it too will not go on.

“These past weeks and months we’ve worked in close consultation with the government and our medical partners,” Pukkelpop wrote in a lengthy statement. “Throughout we have given all concerns, wishes and guidelines our full attention. However, last Monday it became clear that the current framework has made it impossible for us to organise Pukkelpop. The additional demands in terms of testing would require us to almost triple the testing capacity at and in the run-up to the festival.”

The statement continues, “Initially we planned for a capacity of up to 7,000 tests per day at the Pukkelpop site but the 24/48 hour limit for the validity of, respectively, a rapid antigen test (RAT) or a PCR test means that we would have to triple this capacity. To put things into perspective: this is 21 times the capacity of the Park Spoor Noord testing village in Antwerp at the height of its activities. The 24/48 hour limit effectively means tripling the number of tests but there is no way we could guarantee the government we can organise this under safe circumstances. This is simple math and a healthy dose of common sense.”

Running a festival during COVID was unthinkable, not to mention against strict regulations in most, if not all, nations. With the delta variant barreling through the world now, the process of throwing an event still sees significant hurdles and it’s not always feasible.

Pukkelpop was set to feature Liam Gallagher, Nina Kraviz, Netsky, Marshmello, Future, Boys Noize, and more.

If you’ve ever wondered how the reigning No. 1 DJ in the world, David Guetta, throws down live — the video below powered by Pioneer DJ will show you exactly how it’s done!

The “How I DJ” series provides an in-depth look at the art of DJing, including musical, technical and creative approaches to the mix. In this case, Guetta breaks down his hybrid DJ setup including key sync, use of FX and more to add excitement and seamless transitions to his performances.

In addition, Guetta weaves in a brief history on his humble beginnings, from first learning to beat match and practicing in his bedroom with just a radio and a single turntable — and honing his craft for years before organizing his own parties, working as his own promoter and ultimately driving his career from there.

Other episodes of “How I DJ” feature James Hype, Eats Everything, Jamz Supernova, Kenny Allstar, Conducta, and Monki. They’re all well worth the watch and can be viewed as a playlist here.

Watch how David Guetta DJs below!

Kayzo just released his latest single last month, “Poison” with Paris Shadows, but he’s already back with another heater. This time, he’s teamed up with Whales and Shiah Maisel for yet another bass/rock hybrid that transcends genre barriers for a blissful and energetic listening experience.

Maisel sounds like he’s in any number of post-rock or hardcore bands, which is why it was surprising to find out he’s a solo artist when looking him up. His voice adds so much to the track, beyond the wildly synergistic bass and synths. It’s a rare twist of emotional and aggressive without ever sounding like one overpowers the other.

Kayzo said of the single, “I’ve always been a supporter of developing artists, as that is how I got my break. So when Whales sent me over a few ideas, ‘REPLAY’ was the one I gravitated to immediately. It has this melody that formed into this rocktronic pop punk song perfect for summer. Shiah absolutely killed this vocal too. So excited to release this right as things are opening up and get back to playing live for fans!”

Check out “REPLAY” below!
