While Spotify continues looking into acquiring SoundCloud, the latter business appears to still be struggling with their imperfect service. Once again, an artist has had his own track removed for “copyright infringement” on a track he produced himself, though it isn’t even the first time this has happened.
This time, the wronged victim is Martin Garrix, and the track is his new collaboration with Mesto, “WIEE.”no fucking shit sherlock it’s my own song @So

At 7am PST/10am EST this coming Wednesday, The Chainsmokers say they will have a major announcement.
A new countdown timer appeared on their website that ends at 7am PST on Wednesday the 19th and it’s anyone’s guess what it could mean. The website tells fans to follow their ‘Nice Hair’ playlist on Spotify to be the first to find out, which could very well mean that it’s music related – perhaps an album? They’ve said in the past that they weren’t re

Two Polish men were arrested in Australia this week after police found 1.2 tons of MDMA hidden in lead casings wrapped inside aluminum rolls, according to Sky News. The amount could have been used to create 4.1 million ecstasy tablets, and was the fourth largest drug haul in the country’s history. The MDMA was valued at over $100 million.
The lead and aluminum was said by the New South Wales regional director for the Australian Border Force to be in place in order to prevent X-ra

This weekend, Kygo is playing back to back performances at the 17,500-capacity Hollywood Bowl, coming as his highest achievement since his spot at the Olympics closing ceremony. In a repeat of his 2015 stop at the Greek Theatre with Grammy-winning R&B singer John Legend, the Norwegian DJ even brought out Seal to play out their own rendition of the Marvin Gaye hit classic, “Sexual Healing.”
Using the Bowl’s semicircular stage extension, Seal can be seen treading de

London-based DJ & producer Matt Nash has been all over the place in terms of labels during the past couple years and we love it! Being able to put your name on a diverse selection of high calibre labels exemplifies an artist’s ability to not only make music for just one crowd but simply everyone. Matt Nash has been seen on the likes of everything from Axwell’s Axtone Records to Steve Angello’s SIZE Records, Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings to Armin V

G-Buck is one of OWSLA’s most promising rising stars, having tons of his music played out by Jack Ü last year. That being said, even auspicious producers like G-Buck aren’t immune to Twitter beefs, but this is definitely one of the more random ones we’ve seen.
Adult model and porn star Mia Khalfia tweeted out about a player from University Of Mississippi’s football team who seemed to be harassing her on Twitter. When she shared the photo of the exchange, G-Buck respo

When was the last time you heard about a sports team having their anthem refurbished and composed by one of the world’s most talented producers? Deadmau5 has just taken up the Toronto Maple Leafs on their offer to create their new theme song.
“I got an e-mail from management asking if I would consider doing it and I was like heck yeah. I knew I had to do something that was palatable and worked for the crowd and also lend itself to some audience participation. These thoughts all

Fresh on the heels of their debut album, GTA brought their Good Times Ahead tour to Los Angeles’ famed Shrine Auditorium this past weekend, and it was a different type of set for the Miami duo. I’ve seen them perform before at 2014’s HARD Day of the Dead, and this set was far more melodic and futuristic. Although they interspersed some of their hits, including their legendary collab with Diplo “Boy, oh Boy,” last weekend at the Shrine was about the Good Times Ahead

Hip-Hop and EDM met at a perfect crossroads at this year’s edition of Fool’s Gold Day Off in Los Angeles. Nestled in the parking lot next to the Shrine Auditorium across the street from University of Southern California, a wide array of fans braved the scorching temperatures in the afternoon to enjoy the unique blend of electro and hip-hop that only A-Trak and friends can bring. With more hip-hop than ever, this year’s edition of Fool’s Gold Day Off had a laidback streetw

This is totally something producers should start doing more often; 7 tracks across 7 days, I mean, why not? With that being said, Dutch wunderkind Martin Garrix will be releasing 7 tracks across the next 7 days starting now as announced yesterday.
Martin has teamed up with seven different visual artists who will live paint their interpretations of each song which can be seen over at Martin’s Youtube channel each day. The images created will become the official artwork f

The “new” Trap Nation sub-label Lowly Palace is back with another banger with “Under The Covers” from WOLFE and Emma Sameth. I’ve heard many people speak highly of Emma Sameth in the past, but it’s not until this release that I realize just how strong her voice really is.
The track starts off with a frantic yet irresistible melody line highlighted by Emma’s soothing voice. The production by WOLFE is cool and c

For the most part, the mega nightclubs of North America are mostly all located in the US, and even then they’re only in a handful of cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City and Miami. However, as EDM continues to expand and clubbing (with purpose) becomes more popular, the clubs in many major metropolitan areas are keeping up.
Case in point, the new Rebel Nightclub in Toronto, Canada which just recently opened with a decor and production that would easily give any Vegas venu

Safe in Sound Festival has been making its way across the country over the past month or so, stopping off in nearly every major area imaginable. The festival sports a bass-heavy lineup, so expect a night full of headbanging. I was fortunate enough to attend the Boston date of the tour, which featured Boombox Cartel, Terravita, Snails, and Borgore.
The four acts combined into what can only be described as a night full of headliners. Seriously, it didn’t feel like an

This past Wednesday, Feed Me descended on Santa Ana’s Yost Theater for his Family Reunion tour. The show was as heavy as should be expected from Feed Me, but it seems that his alternate project Spor might have made a brief appearance in the setlist.
At one point during the night, Feed Me played a DnB remix of Deadmau5 & Kaskade’s new collaboration with Skylar Grey, “Beneath With Me.” And as you all know, Spor is the original DnB project of the one we now call Fee

It’s no secret that electronic innovator Porter Robinson is a massive fan of anime and Japanese culture. From taking inspiration for his debut Worlds album from a variety of animes and video games, to using Japanese vocal program Vocaloids as part of the vocals for the album, to curating entire stories and images for his fabled live sets, Robinson has shown his love for the Japanese culture time and again. Now, he’s back with ground breaking news that has fans in an uproar of emotion

Zedd has been working a lot more in the pop realm lately, creating collaborations with Kesha, Selena Gomez, Hailee Steinfeld, Aloe Blacc and more, but this one might be his most fan-freaking-out-worthy collaboration yet.
Zedd is in the studio with Joe Jonas, according to the Snapchats of both artists, and fans are absolutely going nuts. After parting ways with the Jonas Brothers, Joe became the lead singer for ensemble DNCE. It’s unknown if the collaboration will be a DNCE track with
