While you might not have missed today’s track per se, it’s quite likely you forgot about it. Released on OWSLA in 2015 as part of his Vicious EP, Aryay’s ‘R You Ok’ is easily one of the most memorable tracks the American producer has made. After coming across it again recently, I knew I had to bring it back. The…

Some would argue that dubstep is recently becoming a battle of sound design, with less importance given to musicality and melody. Legends such as Flux Pavilion certainly think so, as his recent tweet suggests he is growing tired of this monotony.

Dr. Ozi never disappoints. The Canadian producer has a unique style that makes his tracks immediately enjoyable, without becoming repetitive after a couple of listens. You can still hear bass DJs playing out his 2016 track ‘Youth In Asia’, while ‘HartyHar’ and ‘BLT’ are still in my personal rotation of dubstep favourites. Earlier this year, his Vital EP was followed by an…

A few weeks back, we had the pleasure of connecting with Just A Gent to discuss his http://EP project, among other things.

Brazilian producer Marcioz first caught my attention last year with his track ‘Ayre for Rejection’. He combined innocent beauty with blatant energy in a way that nobody had ever done it before, and followed that up with a versatile four-track EP on bitbird before remixing San Holo’s ‘One Thing’. After a six-month hiatus, the talented producer is back and stronger…

bitbird‘s core roster are continuously pushing musical boundaries. Along with San Holo, artists such as DROELOE, BeauDamian and Taska Black are blurring lines between indie and electronic music, giving dance music euphony and emotion. This genre-defying mentality is on full display in the label’s latest release, a beautiful single from Taska Black titled ‘Get Out Of My Head’ featuring Midoca. Ahead…

Peanut butter and jelly. Bacon and eggs. Yin and yang. Wavedash and Quest. Those are just a few examples of pairings that, when combined, become more powerful than when alone. It’s impossible to deny the chemistry that the Austin-based trio and their fellow Texan have developed over the years, collaborating on massive hits such as ‘Flood’, ‘Off Leash’, and their…

If you feel like you’ve been seeing TYNAN‘s name everywhere as of late, it’s probably because you have been. The Oklahoma City-based producer has tearing up club and festival crowds, largely due to the quantity, quality and versatility of his releases.
