I can see it now. Someone in the Pitchfork offices just finished listening to Alan Walker’s debut album. They are licking their lips, possibly even gently moaning as they plan how to systematically break down this album in the most brutal way possible….
Paul van Dyk has today unleashed a new album: Music Rescues Me. The 14-track LP is van Dyk’s ninth studio album overall, following up 2017’s From Then On.

Biding his time, ReOrder hasn’t been hurried into sending his first album out there. It’s been ten years since the Slovakian studio head began making impressions on the scene, most recently through his outings on Black Hole, FSOE, Subculture, Monster and others. It was time well stayed: a period in which he honed his craft,
Allow us to catch you up… It’s been six years since Richard Durand sent us his boldly high-concept ‘Richard Durand Versus The World’ album. It’s reasonable to say that in the meantime his outlook on many aspects of life – both personal and professional – have shifted. Over that period he has circled the planet

Flamingosis is back again with yet another tasty LP. This dude is a monster behind the soundboard, with an deft sonic style that always captures that post-vaporware vibe that my ears live for. This 14 track album was only release earlier this month, but I’ve already spun it countless times. Taking diverse influences from the
Getter has gone through countless transformations over the course of his career. He got his break in the bass world, producing heavy forward-thinking dubstep hits.

Today I’ve got a new electronic EP to share. It’s by French producer, ÆDAN and titled ‘Le temps.’ These are five of the freshest, most forward thinking electronic songs I’ve heard in a minute. ÆDAN uses familiar sounds and techniques that we hear in the latest electronic music, but in a very musical context, almost
Having only discovered ye. two releases ago, my time with the artist has been limited. I was unfamiliar with his previous work and in a way, this clean slate made discovering his innate talent and thoughtful production style that much more enjoyable. I have always been a fan of electronic music that takes a more
It brings me an ample amount of joy to make the following statement; 2018 is the best year dance music has had in a long time. Since the EDM bubble blew up in the late 2000s and the commercial and mainstream takeover we’ve seen in the 2010s, there has been a noticeable decline in the
