Jacuzzi gives trap a facelift with Mizu EP

December 13, 2013 | Brett Kernan | Music

If "Mizu" is any indication, Honolulu has been hiding the progressive post-neo-modern-future wave of trap and bass in Jacuzzi. The islander just dropped his debut EP and... well... it bumps. Like a Waikiki shark, Jacuzzi swallows our tourist ears with rapacious hits, hats, and slaps.

Pendulum plan new album for next year, Knife Party album to come before

August 22, 2013 | Brett Kernan | News

After announcing their split in June of 2012, no one expected Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen to return to Pendulum anytime soon. The pair felt the electronic rock/drum and bass fusion had run it's course. With a year past, Rob took to twitter to make an electrifying broadcast - Pendulum is coming back.

Skrillex to release new music ‘sooner rather than later,’ expects to premiere at Reading and Leeds Festivals

August 21, 2013 | Brett Kernan | News

Sonny Moore's solo moniker has been relatively silent. Since Bangarang's late 2011 release, Skrillex has tided us over with Leaving (an abridged EP to advance The Nest), preoccupied Dog Blood material, and promotional themes to G-Star Raw and Mishka. Hopefuls turned to his first studio Essential Mix, but were still left hankering for unheard originals. After Sonny's interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 last night, it seems the wait will soon be over.

Daft Punk set to perform at VMAs, miss scheduled Colbert Report appearance

August 7, 2013 | Brett Kernan | News

The hype for Daft Punk's appearance on The Colbert Report tonight was palpable. Colbchella '013, sponsored by Hyundai and all, featured the French robots as the top billing. With Saturday Night Live at the heart of their campaigns, somehow a triumphant comeback performance on Stephen Colbert's late night satire seemed plausible. Instead, the bigwigs stepped in to squash it. In a surprising twist, Colbert expressed comical defiance in the wake of Daft Punk missing their scheduled set on his show.

Editorial: House Divided, Standing up for the Spirit of EDM

July 17, 2013 | Brett Kernan | Music

EDM has taken on a collective social stigma, where mainstream success is met with apprehension and disdain. Jaded fans of old write off mainstream acceptance as taboo and force-feed new fans the same placebo. Considering the culture that surrounds dance music, it feels ironic writing an editorial downplaying a pandemic negativity that seems to plague its fans. Since when is EDM a cult that preaches peace, love, unity, and respect, but whose first phase of initiation is proclaiming “Skrillex sucks?” Fans discredit artistic success, admonish saturated event markets, and criticize our thriving scene, all because they fear the mainstream. We need to change our way of thinking.
