House | Gryffin Delivers His First-Ever Original, “Heading Home,” And It’s Better Than We Ever Imagined
Posted by Tay on January 22, 2016
There’s no denying that what Gryffin has accomplished in one year is nothing short of impressive. The gifted musician displays a multi-faceted approach to production, as he brings together elements of indie with dance, all underlined by his dedication to live instruments, which can be seen clearly in his productions and with his live set. The NYC-based producer made his world debut at SnowGlobe this year, where he premiered his live concept for the first time, before taking it on the road to sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York. Now, just three weeks into 2016, he’s getting ready for another major career milestone – his first original, “Heading Home,” which is out now on Darkroom/Interscope Records. The track features Gryffin’s melody-heavy style, as Josef Salvat’s soaring croons are balanced perfectly with lush piano melodies and a deep, throbbing bass line that gives “Heading Home” an evocative feel.
“Heading Home” is available on iTunes, and Spotify. Stream it on the electroNOW playlist.

Golden Coast do it again with their latest single “High Noon Getaway” going epic pop to keep us warm during the Fall. There’s been a shortage of bands lately emulating that arena rock, Kings Of Leon, Coldplay, rock for radio sound, and I get it weird is in, but I’m just trying to vibe out to and feel grand. If you’re currently travelling, and looking for some inspiration on the road, this one’s for you! Don’t sleep on this California band, these guys are the truth!
Bass, Drum & Bass | Alex Metric – Heart Weighs A Ton (Mat Zo Remix)
Posted by JT on November 5, 2014
As usual, you really have no idea what you’re about to get into when pressing play on a brand new Mat Zo track – and that’s exactly why we have a bit of a broner for the dude. His bi-weekly Mat Zo Mixes (see Soundcloud) are the epitome of “Doin It Live” – this track confirms that Mat Zo isn’t about genre restrictions. Damage Control quite possibly was one of the best albums to put EDM onto its ass in the last decade and the producer/dj is showing no signs of exhaustion. He’s getting ready to hit the road and break-in his brand new label, Mad Zoo in the coming months – here’s an exquisite taste of what to expect.
Events | The Glitch Mob Love Death Immortality Tour
Posted by Middy on October 16, 2014
The Glitch Mob’s sophomore artist album “Love Death Immortality” showed the poise and grit we heard in their previous efforts. Now the show is going on the road. They have already toured much of North America during the spring and hit much of Europe over the summer, but now they cap things off with a final few shows this fall, including some big venues like NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom and DC’s Echostage.
They will be joined on tour by The M Machine who are always a good time and have their unique sound to play for you, with Chrome Sparks kicking things off in his own weird, downtempo way. The Glitch Mob are masters of their own live show, so don’t miss out. Check out the dates below and grab tickets here.

There is something to be respected about artists that can’t be categorized into a specific genre and Paper Diamond is definitely one of those cats. The genre spanning producer out of Boulder, Colorado is in the midsts of headlining his Cold Crush Tour. If your not able to catch him on the road and you happen to be in Vegas after March 26th you can catch him at club Surrender.
A few days back Hypetrak premiered Paper Diamonds latest offering. “Black Rose” is light, easy-going tune that rides the cusp between a Hip Hop instrumental and a downtempo electronic jawn. After downloading this freebie check out the Diplo & Friends mix that recently dropped for free on Paper Diamond’s Soundcloud. Be sure to check him out on his Cold Crush tour with some very special guests at any one of the dates after the jump.
