Of all the things that we have come to expect from Armin van Buuren, electro was never really on that list until very recently. The god of pop-trance has never been the most progressive person in terms of sonic evolution; as a whole, trance doesn’t evolve very quickly, and Armin has historically been one [...]Read More
Sweden’s mad scientist/musician Marcus Schössow has never been one to think inside the box. I’ve heard him do every conceivable style: from the smooth, progressive minimalism of his remix of BT‘s The Emergency to the breezy, trance-inspired house of Swedish Nights and even his hard-hitting electro remix of The Bottle, a tech trance classic from Marcel [...]Read More
A couple of weeks ago, we wrote up a review of BT‘s brand new megamix of Laptop Symphony, the music titan’s new release on none other than Armada (by the way, you can read it by clicking here). He chose to close up the three-hour mix with his new rework of Flaming June. A [...]Read More
Techno is not a style of music that is typically easily accessible, even to devoted EDM fans. Typically lacking in melody and progression, techno is much more about building a dark, pulsating, futuristic atmosphere–and this is often what turns people away, due to a conspicuous lack of hands-in-the-air big room moments.

Rob Swire always seems to be ahead of the curve. Back in the day, when drum n bass was a really huge deal, Pendulum was on top: arguably the most well-known DnB group of all time, the Australian talents tore up the EDM scene with original and cutting-edge sounds that built upon the best aspects [...]Read More
Adorable toast men Spencer & Hill‘s recent single Believe It, featuring iconic house vocalist Nadia Ali, tore up the Beatport charts and radio waves when it was released late last year. But perhaps even more well-known than the original of this track is Swedish duo Cazzette‘s remix–drawing upon their characteristic electro and progressive house [...]Read More
Consistently proving himself to be on the cutting edge of EDM, Germany’s Zedd has certainly made a splash in the last year: with incredible releases like Slam the Door and Stars Come Out, this golden boy is not at all afraid to challenge norms and expectations, and always comes out on top with radiant compositions [...]Read More
Since his musical ascent in 2005, Belarusian producer Andy Mart has become somewhat iconic in the minimal scene. Continuously pumping out a two-hour weekly radio show on Digitally Imported‘s Minimal channel entitled Mix Machine, this talented musician seamlessly blends quirky, futuristic techno and smooth, dark minimal house in one of my favorite weekly mix shows.

Since December of 2010, the legendary producer BT has had a weekly mix show on Sirius XM‘s Electric Area radio station called Laptop Symphony.

Hot off the heels of a recent album release, German duo Cosmic Gate are continuing to redefine the modern trance sound. Breaking onto the scene in 1999 with the classic tune Exploration of Space, many consider Cosmic Gate to be the founding fathers of hard trance—a faster, more aggressive, yet still extremely euphoric style [...]Read More
The cute-but-creepy mouse head. The incredible live show, whether you’ve experienced it yourself or just heard about it from friends. The mixed studio albums, chock full of big beats and interesting sounds. We all know so much about deadmau5: he’s undoubtedly one of the biggest names in dance music.
