Future Funk | EDEN Brings Together Future Bass With Pop Vibes On “End Credits”
Posted by Tay on August 3, 2015
It’s rare to find an artist with stand-out skills in singing, songwriting, and production, but Jonathan Ng, better known as the artist, EDEN, has found his niche by delivering a sound that blends elements of indie, pop, and dance to create a stunning product. His EP, End Credits, shows off his various abilities, as he weaves together future bass with infectiously catchy pop croons and an indie coat – and the lead single and title track of the EP is a lesson in EDEN’s music. “End Credits” comes off as a pop anthem early on, but it quickly morphs to incorporate elements of future bass to create an interesting dynamic. “End Credits” is the third of seven singles to be released off the EP, so keep an eye out for more out of EDEN.

House | Listen to Gryffin’s Amazing New Remix of Years & Years’ “Desire”
Posted by Tay on July 31, 2015
Everything Gryffin touches is absolutely magic. A few months ago, he unveiled an out-of-this-world remix of Years & Years’ “King,” as he blended his expertly crafted melodies with the indie soul of the UK band, but it seems like the NYC-based producer isn’t finished with his friends from across the pond. Gryffin’s latest effort sees him dabbling into Communion once again, as he turns “Desire” into a dance music classic. Years & Years frontman, Olly Alexander, is front and center on the remix, as Gryffin masterfully floats Alexander’s soulful croons atop a bed of dreamy melodies and evolving bass lines. Since storming onto the scene last year, Gryffin has been on a meteoric rise to the top, and with his “Desire” remix taking the honors of being the lead single off of the forthcoming We Are Your Friends, the future is bright for the young phenom.
Nu Disco | Jerry Folk Releases His Newest Nu-Disco Single “Futura”
Posted by Tay on July 23, 2015
Fresh off of his stellar remix of Oh Wonder’s “Lose It,” Jerry Folk is back with his second original, “Futura,” a nu-disco masterpiece that showcases the Norwegian producer’s various influences. It’s rare to find a producer who can float between genres as effortlessly as Jerry Folk, as his signature nu-disco style often blends with other influences like house and indie. Old-school, 70’s-inspired synths wash over the production in “Futura,” while a plucking bass guitar and driving piano melody gives the track a deep groove fitting for a 4 am warehouse rave. You can peep “Futura” above!

Philadelphia-native Gabe Almeda is a wizard in the studio, and this can be seen through his summer-ready tracks that he’s been pumping out since his initial emergence just 2 years ago. Up until now he’s been focusing on originals, but for this release, he’s bringing us a remix of VÉRITÉ, a renowned artist from New York.

House | The Big Room Meets Deep House In Watermät & MOGUAI’s “Portland”
Posted by Tay on July 23, 2015
Although the ID-marketing method Spinnin’ uses too many times has become predictable, a good majority of those tracks have gone on to be some of the biggest track’s in dance music. From “Animals” to “Tsunami” to “Shiver,” there seems to be a good omen on Spinnin’ build of anticipation and their latest plug, “Portland,” is sure to follow in the same suit. Claimed by French hitmaker Watermät and big room aficionado MOGUAI, the pair might have discovered a new genre with this one because it dabbles literally right between big room and deep house. With some sliced up vocals to break up the madness instigated by the wailing lead melody, “Portland” is a flurry of highs and lows that keeps your attention plastered to where it is headed for every second of the track. It’s release date is slated for August 14th.

With festival season in full swing, it seems like there’s a brand new festival with an impressive lineup popping up every weekend. Like most people, it’s never easy for me to decide which festival is worth my money, especially with so many great festivals to choose from, and unfortunately, festival scheduling just got a little harder because Billboard is entering the festival space with their very own Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival. The premise of the Billboard’s festival is to feature artists on their Top 100 charts, and with headlining performances by pop stars like Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Nicki Minaj, there will be no shortage of top 40 music. Dance music stars like Skrillex, Kygo, and Axwell /\ Ingrosso are all slated to play the Billboard Hot 100 Festival as well. Information and tickets to the Hot 100 Festival are available for purchase here.
Indie | photocomfort Delivers A Stellar Debut Original “No Love”
Posted by Tay on July 17, 2015
As dance music slowly crosses over into the mainstream, we’ve started to see talented producers take their music in different creative directions outside of the box, and the results have been splendid. Genres that people previously thought could never fit together meshed and turned into more unique, niche sub-genres of dance music, and this sonic experimentation has only led to the emergence of new styles of music. Indie rock artists used to stay away from electronic music, but a few brave souls found a way to combine indie rock with electronic textures to great success, and now, indie-electronica is a steadily rising genre in dance music with plenty of emerging bands like Photocomfort. Hailing from Brighton, MA, the trio of musicians is storming onto the scene with their debut single, “Not Love,” a stellar indie-electronica masterpiece. The soaring croons of the lead vocalist are the perfect complement to the electro-tinged percussion accents and heavy-handed bass strikes. You can stream “Not Love” above.
