At first listen, Carlo Ratto’s latest drop may seem like just another cookie-cutter techno pop song. But upon closer inspection, there’s more to this track than meets the ear. The soaring piano chords and catchy vocals are reminiscent of early 2000s pop songs, while the powerful violin drops give the track a modern twist. In

Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge has never been shy about his love for Metallica. (Even the group’s cover of “Enter Sandman” – from 2021’s The Metallica Blacklist tribute album – is affectionately imaginative.) During a recent chat with AL.com, Forge admitted that he admires the iconic thrash quartet not only creatively but also commercially, especially during
Since he started the eternally cool and somewhat clandestine label Sub-liminal Recordings back in 2015, the artist known as Agro likely hasn’t had a lot of time for his own releases. Sub-liminal has been a champion of all things underground, finding artists and curating releases that the larger and more popular side of the D&B
For the past three months, the two Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts have been heavily anticipated by fans, friends, family and the rock music world at large. Unsurprisingly, last night (Sept. 3)’s first concert – at London’s Wembley Stadium – was a monumental success, with its myriad artists providing plenty of touching memories and terrific music
The latest Sable Valley Summer compilation is officially out today, featuring 14 new tracks from some of bass music and trap’s hottest rising stars and known names.

It’s one big performance after another at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert going on at London’s Wembley Stadium. The audience just got an electrifying dose of rock with AC/DC‘s Brian Johnson joining the Foo Fighters with special guest drummer Lars Ulrich sitting in behind the kit. The two song set started with the Foos members
Late last night, I was laying in bed doom scrolling on Twitter and came across this post. Intrigued, I read through it. tl;dr a boyfriend has had a love making playlist with his girlfriend for 2 years to help with his “natural rhythm” and she just let him know that she hates one of the
The moment had to come and when it did it was met with a powerful emotional weight. The Foo Fighters, having backed a wealth of performers at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, would eventually have to perform one of their own songs for the first time since Hawkins’ death earlier this year, and the chosen
Earlier this summer, Seven Lions surprised fans by wiping his socials and later revealing he will be releasing his first ever artist album Beyond The Veil this fall. The full-length LP is set for release on Seven Lions’ own Ophelia Records imprint on October 21. “Call On Me” is dance music leader Seven Lions’ second
Nickelback have been teasing a new song lately called “San Quentin,” and based on the teasers, it’s quite heavier than what many might expect from them. However, guitarist Ryan Peake doesn’t seem to think that style of music is “unusual” for them, given the fact that they’ve played with various sounds over the years. After sharing
They’re entirely synthetic in nature, but the melodic spiking in the new single “Armadas of the Milky Way” from Elektragaaz sounds so vivid that it feels like we’re listening to the genuine cries of a saxophone rather than something purely electronic in origin. There’s nothing to separate the physical presence of the music from the
Summer’s coming to an end. School is underway. It feels like the parties are slowing down as we enter autumn and becoming few and far between. But if you’re looking to keep the part going across the country or the world, then take solace that their are plenty of music festivals that thrive outside of
Metallica‘s Black Album was one of the most polarizing moments of their career, as it saw the legends shift from thrash brutality to polished stadium anthems. Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor is among the many Metallica fans who had to sit with it for a while before truly admiring it. Taylor, who was 17 years old when The Black
After releasing mostly on Never Say Die (until their unfortunate closure earlier this year) and Deadbeats, Effin is back on Disciple for the first time since 2019 tomorrow with “Playtime.” The last time Effin released with the label was on Round Table with Jayceeoh for “Level Up” in 2019. Comparatively, “Playtime” is far more flighty
Congrats to Avril Lavigne, who now has the 2,731st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lavigne’s career was celebrated with the special star-unveiling ceremony in Hollywood on Wednesday (Aug. 31). Machine Gun Kelly and producer/musician John Feldmann were among those to speak while honoring the singer and members of her extended musical family and
As it has been, as it will be. The annual Sable Valley Summer compilation is here to lead us out of the heat and into hoodie season, but not without getting you hot and sweaty in the clubs one last time this year. It’s all coming out tomorrow so you don’t have much time to
Given Seattle’s music history, you never know who will make an appearance during a concert there. Last night (Aug. 31), fans in attendance of The Pretty Reckless‘ show at Seattle’s Moore Theatre not only also got to see Ayron Jones, but also Soundgarden riff master Kim Thayil as well. Thayil came out during The Pretty Reckless’
It’s not actually been a long time since Tengu’s Virtual Reality EP, which released on Korsakov Music in early June this year. Perhaps it’s the fact that he’s released quite a bit since then that makes it feel it’s past time for another partnership with the Dutch dancefloor label. Dancefloor speaks to dancefloor, after all.
