The two-day electronic music event is set to take place September 19-20, 2026, at Randall's Island Park, promising another immersive experience for dance music fans.

The Day Party will feature big-name DJs such as Mark Farina, Shiny Objects, J Boogie, and Collette back to back with DJ Heather, celebrating three decades of future music.

Butterfly unfolds across four unique versions of the same song, each exploring different genres and emotional depths while maintaining a cohesive melody and lyrics.

Before achieving fame, John Summit was known as John Schuster, a CPA at Ernst and Young, who made music on the side.

R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.

The rework transforms the original into a deep Afro house cut built around rolling percussion, warm late-night atmospheres and spiritual vocal textures. Subtle shakers and fluid rhythmic patterns give the track a hypnotic drive, balancing emotive depth with a groove designed firmly for the dancefloor.

Captured during a live recording session deep in the Corsican wilderness, the 11 track project presents a raw, hardware driven performance forged through real time improvisation. The album embraces the unpredictability of live electronic music, where instinct, physical interaction and spontaneous decision making shape the sound as it unfolds.

This release is about connection. Not in a strategic sense, but in terms of feeling part of a scene rather than orbiting around it. There's a lot of really strong music coming out of Australia right now, especially in the underground, and this felt like the right moment to place something there.

Last year, Four Tet started dropping a remix of 'Illegal'-the breakaway hit from PinkPantheress' 2025 mixtape -during his sets. As of today, Kieran Hebden's take on the track is now on streaming.

No matter who Sam Shackleton plays with, you recognize his handiwork immediately: Since he began weaving together North African percussion and dubstep-inspired basslines more than two decades ago, he's developed one of the most distinctive styles in electronic music. He long ago shed virtually all traces of conventional UK bass music, effectively evolving into a genre of one. Dubstep was always a misnomer for his music, which never stepped, but flowed.

OKO DJ's music is best measured not in decibels but in candle watts. Sunlight, one suspects, would reduce it to ashes. Her debut album, As Above, So Below, is a seance of a record, a journey into the darkest corners of the night. The Athens-based musician, aka Marine Tordjemann, is host of an NTS Radio show called Twisted Dream Diary, and As Above, So Below, is similarly steeped in dream logic and surrealistic visions. In its collision of bleak sounds and cosmic mysticism, it often feels like a gothic take on new-age spirituality. It might be the post-post-punk equivalent of a European art-house film shot in grainy black and white, framing monologues muttered in French and Greek in dramatically austere trappings. It's a mood piece par excellence.

DJ-Kicks is a series that shaped how I think about DJing and listening. I played the DJ Koze mix an unhealthy number of times, to the point where it basically lives in my DNA now. Those mixes taught me that the best ones aren't about showing off; they're about taking people on a journey. They move, twist and surprise you. They give you goosebumps when you least expect it.

Escapism, the debut album by They Call Me Steve (Jordi van Achthoven of Tinlicker), explores his creative world through rediscovered tracks and everyday-life samples. Deeply personal and rooted in his past, it also features the singles "Whatever You Call It," "Body Move," and "Lara," shaping a record suited for both club nights and quiet escape. The first album Escapism by They Call Me Steve is an album to be obsessed with.

Skrillex surprised-dropped his latest EP on Thursday (January 15). The three-song Kora includes contributions from frequent collaborators Varg2™, Siiickbrain, and Whitearmor. It's the produer's second EP in as many months, following November's Hit Me Where It Hurts X. You can listen to the new one and check out its cover art below.
