On Wednesday, dance-pop icon Anabel Englund and house music heavyweight MK joined forces to release the official video for their latest collaborative single “Underwater,” directed by Amber Navarro and produced by Laura Burhenn of Our Secret Handshake. The video is scintillating, scantily clad, raw in emotion, and the song packs a punch with Englund’s alluring and catchy dance-pop vocal melodies. Shot within the environment of a club, Englund embraces the role of the protagonist as she moves throughout the building while changing multiple outfits, choreographed to the beat of the song.

Having racked up over 2.5 million Spotify streams since its release in late September, one thing is clear, Anabel Englund is a force to be reckoned within the dance music scene. The sky is the limit for this talented and up and coming artist. “Underwater” comes to us just weeks before her debut album release on December 11, and the single is a smash hit ready for the club, or anywhere that you are.

“Underwater” is available now on Ultra Music, pre-save Messing With Magic here.

deadmau5 And Kiesza Release New Single "Bridged By A Lightwave" Out Now on mau5trap by Brian Rapaport

The track comes as a surprise days ahead of its scheduled release date.

deadmau5 And Kiesza.jpg

Earlier this year the beloved and well-known goat lord surprised us all with “Pomegranate,” a critically acclaimed, funk-driven, upbeat electronic collaboration with The Neptunes. Now, just days ahead of its scheduled release date, deadmau5 surprises us yet again early releasing his new single “Bridged By A Lightwave” with singer/songwriter Kiesza. The track oozes that familiar, iconic deadmau5 sound, taking us back to his early days of techno and progressive house. His signature analog synth leads still remain at the forefront, which when paired with the high flying vocal harmonies from Kiesza, creates a mysterious and ethereal feeling that lifts you up and takes flight.

Listen to deadmau5 & Kiesza’s “Bridged By A Lightwave” below:

If you were one of the lucky fans who attended deadmau5’s cubev3 shows in early 2020 in New York City and Philadelphia, then you were treated to hearing this song before anyone else. The track first hit the airwaves premiering exclusively on the SIRIUSXM BPM channel (channel 51), hosted by Rida Naser, and it serves as the first-ever collaboration between Kiesza and deadmau5. The fellow Canadian has long been a part of the SIRIUSXM BPM family ever since she exploded onto the scene back in 2014 with her hit song “Hideaway.”

In a press release, Kiesza explained how the song has been in the works for just under 5 years, and she thanks deadmau5’s wife Kelly Zimmerman for keeping the flames of inspiration alive while holding both of them accountable for finishing the song. Kiesza writes, “deadmau5 and I used to endlessly run into one another at festivals and always talked about working together one day. I think we talked about it for four years before we actually, finally got down to business. I have Joel’s beautiful wife Kelly to thank for holding us both to our word. She has always been a huge supporter of my music and never let us off the hook for committing to work. Finally, one day he sent me a track to write over. I wasn’t proud of my initial ideas and being a big fan of Joel, I was determined to give him my absolute best work. One night as I was heading to Norway from the UK to mentor young music students, my taxi hit a massive traffic jam and I soon realized I wasn’t going to make my flight. We were at a standstill for almost an hour before we began inching forward toward the airport. But as I was sitting there, peering out of the window, like magic, all of a sudden the entire song appeared. I pulled out my phone as fast as I could to capture the words and they flew in. It was as if someone was threading the song into my mind from another dimension. By the time I finally arrived at the airport, my flight had long departed, but “Bridged By A Lightwave” had landed in this ‘3D place.’”

The full version of the song comes in at a glistening 9 minutes and twenty-three seconds, and deadmau5 has also included an Alternative Mix, as well as a 2 minute and fifty-two-second Radio Edit in the release. “Bridged By A Lightwave” is available now on all digital streaming platforms and can be found here.

NERVO REMIXES ANABEL ENGLUND’S HIT SONG “PICTURE US”

OUT TODAY VIA AREA 10 / ULTRA RECORDS

“PICTURE US” LANDS ENGLUND IN TOP 10 DANCE RADIO CHART FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR FOLLOWING HER SINGLE “SO HOT (MK & NIGHTLAPSE REMIX)”

Anabel Englund - Nervo Remix.png

Appearing on the scene back in 2005, Electronic dance music’s first sisters Mim and Live Nervo of NERVO, have no shortage of high energy bangers and remixes under the belt. Today, they released a bouncy new remix of Anabel Englund’s recent hit “Picture Us.” The track is available today, October 9, on AREA10/ Ultra Records.

Listen to “Picture Us" (Nervo Remix)” here: https://ffm.to/pictureus-nervo

Currently sitting in the Top 10 at Dance Music Radio, the original “Picture Us” has received support from many major players including SIRIUSXM Diplo’s Revolution, iHeartRadio Evolution, Music Choice, Pride Radio, Dance Factory Chicago, Nexus Radio, and more—following the release of her #1 single “So Hot (MK & Nightlapse Remix), this is the second time that Anabel has been featured in the chart.

Inspired by the PBS documentary “A Year In Space” which follows astronaut twins as one heads to space and the other remains earthbound. The connection is a staple in Englund’s songwriting and for “Picture Us” she taps into the special bonds between people using the twin astronauts, who even though are thousands of miles apart, are still intertwined. It tells a story of two people who get through dark times together, knowing they can always count on each other.

Hermitude Deliver New Single "Janela (feat. Kimbra)" -- Out Now by Brian Rapaport

HERMITUDE DELIVER NEW SINGLE “JANELA" (FEAT. KIMBRA)”

OUT NOW VIA ELEPHANT TRAKS/NETTWORK RECORDS

TRACK SET TO PREMIERE ON POLLYANARCHY (DELUXE) RELEASE COMING NOVEMBER 13 - PRE ORDER HERE

Hermitude - Janela Artwork.jpg

Hermitude has been releasing dance-floor bangers after dance-floor bangers for some time now, and we’ve come to know they bring the heat with every release, so it comes as no surprise that “Janela (feat. Kimbra)” would be any different, and it’s not. The Australian duo of El Gusto and Luke Dubs that we know and love as Hermitude have yet again delivered another track on fire, a soulful R&B jam infused with jazz and the unique electronic touch that gives Hermitude tracks that one of a kind sound. “Janela (feat. Kimbra)” premiered yesterday October 8 in Flood Magazine and is out worldwide today October 9 via Elefant Traks / Nettwork Records. The single is set to premiere on their recently announced new album Pollyanarchy (Deluxe), which is a reissue of their 2019 album release and is due out November 13.

To get the vibe of the track just right Hermitude knew they needed to collaborate with someone who could deliver the range and vibe they needed, and teaming up with pop/R&B mainstay Kimbra was the perfect fit. Born in New Zealand, singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and model Kimbra brings warm jazz-infused vocals and a vibe that compliments the track.

“‘Janela’ is a tune we had written at our studio in Sydney but could never find right the vocalist. It wasn’t until we went to Brooklyn, New York last year to take part in an APRA writing camnp that ‘Janela’ came into its own, thanks to the prowess of Kimbra,” says Hermitude. “We played her the beat and she instantly gelled with it, humming melodies along with it straight away. It was quite a personal song for her and we could tell by the emotion she was putting into the microphone. We felt like we got something really special that day.”

Pollyanarchy (Deluxe) will feature a multitude of unreleased tracks in collaboration with Drew Love (They), Kameron Alexander, and the recent single “Spotlight” featuring Daniel Bedingfield. When the album released last year, Pollyanarchy climbed straight to the top to sit at the #6 spot on the ARIA charts and it also featured as triple' j’s album of the week with the duo bringing putting forth main stage banger collaborations with Buddy & BJ The Chicago Kid, Vic Mensa, Bibi Bourelly, Electric Fields and Haiku Hands. The album will be available as a limited edition four-track vinyl, and you can pre-order Pollyanarchy (Deluxe) here.

Listen to Kruder & Dorfmeister - “King Size” here now: https://soundcloud.com/kruderdorfmeisterofficial/king-size

Following the release of the “Johnson” single and video, lifted from the upcoming album, “King Size” follows in the footsteps of the duo’s early days of post acid-jazz productions and is influenced by the elegiac arrangements of productions from the 1960’os and 1970’s of Afro-jazz. The song organically flows and has a complex yet subtle sound.

Over the years Kruder & Dorfmeister have sold millions of albums around the world while accumulating hundreds of thousands of plays across their digital streaming platforms. With their first home being based in Vienna, Austria, the duo often consider the U.K. to be their second home having played a multitude of sold out shows at London’s Roundhouse in 2018, shows at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, and the Albert Hall in Manchester in 2019. K&D are now planning for an extended European tour in May of 2021.

2. Love Hope Change

About Kruder & Dorfmeister:

Their roots draw influence from hip-hop, rare groove, dub, and new wave, and their sound finds company alongside Massive Attack, Tricky, and Thievery Corporation. Through the years, the two have engineered the successes of multiple projects including Tosca, Peace Orchestra, and Voom:Voom, with official remixes for the likes of Depeche Mode before now making their return as Kruder & Dorfmeister to take us all back to that one Viennese front room that has once again turned its bass bins out to the cosmos.

deadmau5 & THE NEPTUNES

REIMAGINE “POMEGRANATE” AS A NEW MUSIC EXPERIENCE IN DOLBY ATMOS ON AMAZON HD WITH ECHO STUDIO & TIDAL HIFI
TODAY, SEPTEMBER 25

image3 (5).png

Despite the country and the music industry being at a standstill due to the pandemic, this year has been a busy year full of releases for deadmau5 with the launches of his new online streaming platform mau5trap.tv, as well as an OSC/PILOT application, the electronic artist is back in the world of tech again bringing us something new. deadmau5 is now re-releasing the iconic pop track “Pomegranate” with The Neptunes available in Dolby Atmos, an immersive audio technology that is transforming how music is created and experienced.

“The track boasts a steady funk bounce that anchors an array of bright synths; it threads the needle between disco, R&B, and festival-ready electro-pop,” shared Rolling Stone when “Pomegranate” initially released back in May. This is deadmau5’s first time stepping into the world of Dolby Atmos production, and the song comes even more alive with rich textural soundscapes in an extended sonic landscape.

Listen to deadmau5 & The Neptunes “Pomegranate” in Dolby Atmos Music now:
Amazon Music HD: https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited/hd
TIDAL HiFi: https://tidal.com/partners/dolbyatmos

You can listen to “Pomegranate” in Dolby Atmos for Free as well as find more information about deadmau5 and Dolby Atmos here: https://www.dolby.com/experience/music/deadmau5/

Stereo recordings often loose quality upon compression and other limitations within the realm that a stereo production can provide. Dolby Atmos Music expands upon this digital sonic space widening the creative palette for artists and creators, opening up the quality to what may have been lost in a standard stereo recording production. Listeners can discover hidden details and subtleties with unparalleled clarity. Dolby Atmos gives the music a wider space and the freedom to unleash every detail and emotion as the artist intended.

Pomegranate is available to stream in Dolby Atmos on Amazon Music Hd with Echo Studio and on TIDAL HiFi through compatible Android-enabled smartphones and tablets or through Dolby Atmos-enabled living room devices — such as soundbars, TVs, and AVR home theater systems — when connected to a compatible streaming device.

Having done a host of remixes for a myriad of top artists such as Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Mary J. Blige, producer/hitmaker MK has created a sonic foundation for Anabel’s vocals float upon in a surreal effect. “I love working with MK because he’s crazy talented & even after his many years of success he is humble & sweet,” shares Englund. “You know you’re gonna have a good time when you get to spend the day with MK!”

Back in 2012 while working on Hot Creations, Anabel Englund and MK had their first taste of collaboration. After this, she was featured live and on record as a key member of Hot Natured with Jamie Jones and Lee Foss. Not long after Englund, MK, and Foss got together to work on a new project, Pleasure State, where they went on to release many singles such as “Ghost In The System” and “Electricity,” which found its way onto the BBC Radio 1 end-of-year Essential Mix play. Following his own path MK continued on to remix her single “So Hot” with Nightlapse, which together they transformed the single into one of her most successful and highest played tracks, growing to a staggering six million streams on Spotify alone. The remix has also gone on to be the #1 single on Dance Radio for eight weeks straight.

Mk has been in the game for over 30 years and has no shortage of works to list on his resume. Over the years he has accumulated over 600 million streams, making him one of the most iconic and renowned figures in the electronic dance music scene. Some of his best-known work is for the platinum-selling singles “Back & Forth” as well as “17” which sold over one million copies in the U.K alone. MK’s “17” was followed by “Piece of Me” in 2016 which also went on to become a platinum-selling single record in the U.K. He now has his most recent single “2AM” which is out now featuring Carla Monroe, who also served as the vocalist on the hit single “17.”

“Underwater” follows a multitude of outstanding releases from Anabel Englund over just a few short months. She recently put out “so Hot”, as well as “Warm Disco” with Lee Foss which got her a soon on the cover of Spotify’s mint playlist. And then there is “See The Sky” to which Tracy Young remixed it, Tracy who is the first-ever female GRAMMY-award winner for “Best Remix Production” (Non-Classical), and “Messing With Magic” with Jamie Jones.

Englund’s most recent song, “Picture Us” is similar to “Underwater” in which it relates to the unseen bond between people, and it is currently rising in the American dance music charts. Englund is set to release her debut album this Fall on AREA10/Ultra Music.

This past July 2020, Dancing Astronaut said about MK’s single “2AM” that “MK and Carla Monroe took over the radio airwaves with their 2017 single, ‘17,’ and now, the artists are back with a new feel-good one-off, ‘2AM.’ Monroe’s pop-leaning vocals open the song in tandem with a light build that encompasses the listener from the very first note. The track is an easy listen that has the capability to spike the energy of a dance party or stay stuck in a listener’s head far past its conclusion. MK weaves a pulsing baseline in and out of a steady piano melody with a tasteful blend of house notes to give the single electronic or mainstream pop listening appeal.” — Dancing Astronaut

MK’s single is the perfect pick me up track for anyone needing that extra boost to get you through the last bit of the workday, or to turn up the energy in any room you are in and get down cause its the weekend. DJ Times said about “2AM”, “After lighting up the airwaves with ‘17’ back in 2017, the Detroit native has reunited with vocalist Carla Monroe for another uplifting house gem fueled by euphoric piano keys and Carla’s airy vocal offering making for one club-ready weapon with some serious radio appeal. Get the party started this weekend with MK’s ‘2AM’…” — DJ Times

ABOUT AREA10:
You know people are always asking me what & where is AREA10. Is it a place? Are there aliens there? The truth is when I was about 15 or so, I had an after-school job in the parking garage of the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and AREA10 was my area—the place I was in charge of. It was the only non-music job I have ever had, then or since. When I started to put records out, I used it as the name so I would always remember to never give up on what you really want.” — MK on AREA10

HERMITUDE Releases Brand New Single "Spotlight (feat. Daniel Bedingfield)" Today, September 4 via Elefant Traks/Nettwerk Records by Brian Rapaport

HERMITUDE RELEASES BRAND NEW SINGLE “SPOTLIGHT (FEAT. DANIEL BEDINGFIELD)” TODAY (SEPTEMBER 4) ON ELEFANT TRAKS/NETTWERK RECORDS

LISTEN TO IT HERE

image2 (1).jpg

It’s no surprise that this track slaps, coming from the Australian duo Hermitude, who have defined a sound in the Australian electronic music scene. Hermitude, which is El Gusto and Luke Dubs, has for years kept a consistent pace of innovation and evolution which has driven their creative productions to pave new directions within the electronic, hip-hop, and pop scenes. Today, (September 4), they have released their new single “Spotlight (feat. Daniel Bedingfield)” via Elefant Traks/Nettwerk Records.

Listen to “Spotlight (feat. Daniel Bedingfield”) below and here: https://elefant.lnk.to/HERMSPOTLIGHT/

In 2003 Daniel Bedingfield released a smash it “Gotta Get Through This”, now he lends his vocal talents and songwriting craft to “Spotlight” bringing the track a strong sense of pop to Hermitude’s future-driven production. Collectively they have fused together genres with a myriad of R&B influenced house and elevated basslines. It’s a track that you can feel in your bones. Good vibes and positive energy instantly fill the room. “On one of our travels to LA writing Pollyanarchy, we were lucky enough to find ourselves in a room with Dan. He brought so much vibe into the studio that day and his raw talent oozed out of the vocal booth. He got the essence of the song that first take and then we refined it from there. A truly unique and amazing artist and a session we’ll never forget,” says Hermitude.

“Spotlight” is the first release following their 2019 Pollyanarchy album. Hermitude’s sixth records—which hit #6 on Australia’s ARIA charts—emphasized the duo’s knack for forward-thinking experimentalism. It highlighted an evolved and matured take on the sound that pushed them into realms beyond what they’d explored in the past, aided by a list of guest collaborators including Buddy & BJ The Chicago Kid, Vic Mensa who made his mark on “Dusk Till Dawn,” Bibi Bourelly, a co-writer on Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” Electric Fields and Haiku Hands among others.

Hermitude are one of those duos that are undeniably innovators of the new future-driven genre of electronic dance music that is progressing the scene forward in new directions. The sky is the limit for these guys.

K&d 1995 Polaroid 1500.jpg

The cinematic, atmospherically dense sound, supported by emotional vocal samples, reduced breakbeats and deep bass lines gave us a lot of visual input.” The brothers also said, “Someplace that has stood still in time, the dark corridors, the mysterious musical mood that fits the current time, combined with a young, sensitive leading actress whose sluggish movements increasingly develop towards dance as the track progresses.”

Desire album artwork

A love tale for the digital age which is all about the positives and pitfalls of humanity’s driving wants, Bob Moses’ new project Desire is out today August 28 on Domino Records. Bob Moses (Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance) mixed a continuous six tracks which gives the album a cinematic and thematic style of songwriting with the flow of modern electronic music.

Listen to Bob Moses’ Desire here: http://smarturl.it/BobMosesDesire

In addition to their album release today, Bob Moses will play a set for Inside Lands, the virtual festival presented by Outside Lands, tonight, Friday, August 28 at 11:15 PM PT. A portion of their 2019 Outside Lands live set with be streamed, followed by a new club set featuring recent singles “The Blame” and “Desire.” You can watch Bob Moses’ Inside Lands virtual livestream festival set here: https://www.twitch.tv/sfoutsidelands

Opening the album, “Love We Found” provides a sense of longing and wanting, which can be heard and felt when Howie sings, “after all this love we found, will you be around?”. Following this, the second track on the album and Bob Moses’ current single “The Blame” brings the energy higher, dealing the pain from actions taken in the heat of desire. The third track is where we find the album reaching its peak energy, and its the hypnotic late-night collaboration with Grammy-nominated electronic musician ZHU, and title track “Desire”. The video for “Desire”—with over two million plays since its launch—uses anaglyph imagery to display two different sides of desire, with the press of a button manipulating a beating heart into a burning fire, lipstick into a bullet, joy into despair. It’s a deft and delicate dive into the ups and downs of desire. “Desire is a successful expansion of Bob Moses’ previous standard pop album format into the more grandiose club mix format, one that hints at further creative developments in the group’s future.” — Pop Matters

Watch the interactive video for Bob Moses & ZHU’s “Desire” here: http://smarturl.it/BMDesireEkoVideo 

Making its way onto Hayden James’ Waves Of Gold DJ mix earlier this summer, “Hold Me Up”, the fourth track on the album, reminds us that things will get better, a metaphorical light at the end of the tunnel, and a testament to holding onto one’s hope and faith that the future is bright. Track five “Outlier” punctures through the skin of society’s ego showing the true modern-day obsession society has with the projection of an outward image. There’s a lust involved in scrolling through social media—everybody’s life looks more desirable from the outside. The sixth and final track of the album “Ordinary Day” rounds the project out and leaves us with a bittersweet feeling.

Bob Moses started back in 2012 by Vallance and Howie, two years later they signed to Domino Records. In 2015 they put out their debut album Days Gone By that featured their track “Tearing Me Up”, which was nominated for two GRAMMYs, with the RAC remix taking home the trophy for “Best Remix Recording (Non-Classical).” The duo, a perennial festival favorite, has repeatedly been minted by Resident Advisor as Best Live Act (2014, 2015). In 2018, Battle Lines spawned the hit single “Back Down”, which led to a performance on Ellen; the record was named one of Billboard’s “Best Electronic Albums of 2018.” Following Battle Lines, Bob Moses released Battle Lines [Remixed], featuring remixes from the likes of Hayden James, Jamie Jones, and Cassian, as well as Unplugged, an acoustic EP of songs from Battle Lines and other repertoire favorites.

With the world still in quarantine, Bob Moses has been staying connected to fans through a weekly live-streamed DJ set on YouTube, dubbed the “BobCast.”

Desire is available to order now on limited edition black and clear smoke 12” vinyl from Domino here: http://smarturl.it/BMDesire12

Track Listing for Desire:
1. “Love We Found”

3. “Desire” with ZHU
