Disney knows how to pull music cameos into their films. Atop their cameo in the film, Daft Punk even composed and produced the soundtrack for Disney's Tron: Legacy, pulling electronic music fans everywhere to the box office. I, for one, would never have gone to see 2010's Tron if it weren't for Daft Punk's work on the film. More recently, in 2012, Disney came out with a … [Read more...]

Snugs: A New Dance Music Project You Need To Know About
It's always a wonderful thing finding something fresh from an artist you've never heard before, but rarely will such a profound moment of joy come to you as it will when you listen to Snugs. I got wind of the forthcoming project and its cuddly mascot upon a visit to a Los Angeles studio early last year, and all I can say is what I heard made me so excited for when Snugs … [Read more...]
Skrillex’s 2018 So Far: Not Producing For Himself
Skrillex fans far and wide are anticipating an album from him sooner than later, but Skrill seems to be putting more weight on getting featured as the producer on rap and pop tracks than working on his own material. Earlier this year we heard Camila Cabello's "She Loves Control" with a well-executed but rather plain Latin pop production job from Sonny: It's no wonder … [Read more...]

Trap Nation makes their New Year Comeback with Jordan Comolli’s “All This Time”
Although Lowly Palace was a nascent label just over a year ago, the Trap Nation-led imprint has become a ubiquitous tastemaking platform, driving millions of plays and being named one of “5 Best Independent Dance Labels of 2017” by Billboard. For this past year Trap Nation’s eponymous release platform has been dormant, allowing for the growth of Lowly Palace, but this period … [Read more...]
You Need To Hear Ekali & ZHU’s New Collab, “Blame”
An unlikely collab just came out between Canadian bass music heavyweight Ekali and mysterious house lord ZHU and it's pleasantly surprising how well it came together. Ideally, a collaboration between artists comes out as equally the work of one artist as the next, and I can say confidently this sounds as much a ZHU track as an Ekali track. The vocal line, movement, and … [Read more...]
