Illenium Releases Third Studio Album ASCEND.

The Montreal-based duo and Mexico City’s dubstep powerhouse connect for a festival destroyer. Montreal-based duo Adventure Club and Mexico City native Jessica Audiffred are uniting for a festival-ready dubstep destroyer on Bassrush Records. “HERO” is a relentless rager that mixes classic reese bass builds with raucous riddim. The release marks Jessica’s fifth single on the label and follows her most recent collaboration “Dale” with Riot Ten. Primed for festival season domination, “HERO” is a weapon of track that fuses the talents of Adventure Club and Jessica Audiffred exceptionally. The revving reese basses set the tone, as breakbeat drums and pitched vocals enhance the excitement. As the tension hits its climax, the track descends into a cacophony of drilling industrial sound design, laser synths, punching percussion, and guttural low-end. The explicit out-of-breathe pre-drop vocals match the pace and intensity while distorted chants amplify the anthemic appeal. “HERO” is an impenetrable force with villainous undertones proving that, sometimes to overcome evil, you need to embrace it. Taking listeners on a rollercoaster riddled with heart-pumping highs and sinister drops, the collaboration is primed to take over the summer. Touching on the excitement of their new collab, Adventure Club says, “It’s incredibly exciting to have another release with Jessica! She’s so talented and we hope all our fans enjoy ‘HERO.’ Jessica Audiffred echoes their anticipation, stating, “The followup to our last collab, this one is a lot heavier than the last and very recognizable from our live sets. We already know you guys love it; excited to finally make it available to you all.” Adventure Club is a Grammy-nominated production duo hailing from Montreal. The pair first connected in a pop punk band before refining their vision in the electronic space. The duo have become internationally renowned for their expansive sound that ranges from festival-ready dubstep to melodic EDM. Adventure Club are hot off of their 25-stop ‘Heroes & Villains’ Tour and are gearing up for their headline show at LA Historic Park, as well as festival dates at EDC Las Vegas, Forbidden Kingdom, Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, and Dancefestopia. Mexico’s crown jewel Jessica Audiffred has risen to the top of the ranks of the dubstep scene with her bass-heavy sound. Her music has gained support from some of the scene’s foremost tastemakers including Excision, Doctor P, Illenium, and Hekler. She is riding high off her debut headline show at Hollywood Palladium, as part of her immersive ‘Mad House’ Tour, and is sitting on a stacked run of festival dates including EDC Las Vegas, Forbidden Kingdom Festival, Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, Bonnaroo, and Ubbi Dubbi. “HERO” is a destructive dubstep weapon that is built to take over the impending festival season.

The spiritual successor to “FRACTALS” arrives on February 16th, 2024. Subtronics, the maestro of bass music, has once again embarked on a journey into the realm of unstable particles with the announcement of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, “TESSERACT.” Following the success of his debut album, “FRACTALS,” released just over two years ago, Subtronics is gearing up to unveil the next chapter in his musical odyssey. Scheduled to drop on Friday, February 16th, “TESSERACT” not only shares its name with the bass music superstar’s current tour but also promises to redefine the boundaries of his sonic universe. The year 2024 has already proven to be a whirlwind for Subtronics, who recently announced his fourth Red Rocks takeover, “Cyclops Rocks,” and unleashed his second collaboration with Rezz, titled “Black Ice.” Reflecting on “TESSERACT,” Subtronics expressed his vision for the album as a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution. “I hope [TESSERACT] leaves a long-lasting impact on the listener and the dance music community as a whole. It is truly something I can look back on in 30 years and still be proud of because I know that this is the sound I am truly passionate about, and I really gave it my everything. This album is my second child, more than two years in the making, and I poured everything I could into it.” In conjunction with the album, the team behind Cyclops Recordings has meticulously crafted a bespoke audiovisual experience, perfectly complementing the otherworldly essence of “TESSERACT.” Commenting on the album’s sonic landscape, Subtronics elaborated, “Sonically speaking, I believe this wholly represents my personality and sound as best as I can thus far, with the things I have learned over the years, in conjunction with what I have recently been inspired by. ‘TESSERACT’ is a proper sequel to my first album ‘FRACTALS,’ and in the same sense, I once again aimed to demonstrate my range in style, sound, and emotion. Some songs are meant for the dancefloor, some are meant for the car, and some are meant to serenade you to sleep. I am trying as best I can to create an immersive alternative reality with a magical yet sci-fi-esque world of energy and feeling across the entire spectrum.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Subtronics (@subtronics)

Every genre, from house music and trance to electro and techno, has given the dancefloor magical moments through big vocal tracks. That feeling a big vocal song has on a festival crowd is hard to describe, but when that moment comes, it’s intoxicating.” The collaboration with AZTECK was a natural choice for Hardwell, given their previous work together.

It needed the right emotion in the track, the right chords, and perfect balance in arrangement to fit the current sound.” With its fusion of cutting-edge electronic music and infectious vocals, ‘Anybody Out There’ promises an unparalleled audio experience that pushes the boundaries of live performance. Hardwell’s creative vision, combined with the talents of AZTECK and Alex Hepburn, guarantees an unforgettable musical journey for listeners. ‘Anybody Out There’ signifies Hardwell’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his willingness to experiment and explore new sonic territories while staying true to his core essence.

Grammy-winning DJ and producer Elderbrook unveils his new single ‘Shallow Water’, setting the tone for his next LP with a typically emotive banger. Building around a poignant vocal and uplifting organs, ‘Shallow Water’ is a pulsating and life-affirming single. The single also coincides with an enchanting official video on release day, directed by Phúóng Vū with the creative direction of Charlie Rees. The director Phúóng Vū commented “In traditional Vietnamese folklore, the sky is represented by the shape of a circle, while the earth is a square. Developing upon this idea, we wanted the video to feature Vietnam’s most stunning and raw natural landscapes, in combination with holistic choreography to present the human element along with giant, abstract and surreal spheres and cubes that symbolize the earth and the sky.” It follows Elderbrook’s triumphant 2024 return in April with ‘Glad I Found You’, his collaboration with esteemed dance producer George FitzGerald. Speaking on the record “In ‘Shallow Water’, the cards are down, bottom reached and there is nowhere left to go. Our subject has to be better, do better. The song hinges on these bargaining chips, on the get out clauses we give ourselves when we want to change but know it will be hard. It grapples with questions of integrity and our desire to better ourselves against the knowledge that true and meaningful change is difficult and often messy. It’s the never ending self doubt given a voice.” Having toured his acclaimed sophomore album Little Love last year with sold-out shows across the US, UK, Canada and Europe, as well as playing a sold out headline show at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre this Spring, the singer-songwriter has a massive summer headline show coming up at New York’s Brooklyn Mirage on Friday June 14th. Following that, Elderbrook has various shows in Ibiza this summer and another packed festival season in store, with appearances at Festivals including the likes of Boardmasters in the UK, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits & Osheaga. Having toured with the likes of Jungle, Rufus Du Sol and Odesza, racked up over 2 billion streams to date, and made a 2023 Coachella starring appearance, Elderbrook continues to prove himself a frontrunner in the electronic scene. ‘Shallow Water’ continues his roaring 2024 with a top-tier club anthem teeming with heart and soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ6L_6a7RcQ

With a new look, Peach PRC brings an exciting new era, set to play her biggest headline shows to date, the Secret PRC Tour will be hitting stages in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. 2023 was Peach PRC’s year – we were all just living in it – as she captivated audiences and tastemakers with her Manic Dream Pixie debut EP. Beyond stockpiling millions of streams, it debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The chart-topping EP included singles “Kinda Famous”, “F U Goodbye”, which secured #68 on triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2023, and “Perfect For You” which notably pays tribute to Paris Hilton’s gold-certified 2006 smash hit “Stars Are Blind” and secured #63 on triple j’s iconic countdown. Among the EP’s acclaim, Peach received multiple ARIA Award nominations (Best Pop, Best Video, and Best Artwork), and was also nominated for a 2023 TikTok Award (Music Act of The Year). 2023 also saw Peach PRC traveling the globe, with a sold-out debut headline tour with stops across Australia, North America, and the United Kingdom. With special performances that included a support spot for BlackPink in London’s Hyde Park, Falls Festival, Splendour in the Grass, Spin Off Festival, and more recently Spilt Milk Festival. Before the year came to an end, Peach gave the best gift of all with the release of her latest single, “Like A Girl Does”, which saw her third appearance in the Hottest 100 of 2023 coming in at #81. The rising pop star has already had an unbelievable journey, from writing and recording in her bedroom to social media phenomenon into smart, slick, and sweet songs with a bold bite. Equally funny and sensitive, she holds nothing back when it comes to life’s ups and downs, mental health, and everything in between. She’s already built an audience of 4 million-plus social followers, generated over 1.7 billion TikTok views, 175 million combined artist streams, and attracted acclaim from Billboard, Vogue Australia, BuzzFeed, Consequence, NME, Paper, Refinery29 and more. Launching her TikTok page in 2019, she organically attracted an audience by posting everything from funny moments to self-care advice and, of course, music. Along the way, she carefully cultivated an undeniable style with a twist. That twist defines her debut single “Josh”, the ultimate kiss-off to the worst ex ever and has received over 36 million streams and counting. Peach PRC followed up the success of “Josh” with her self-proclaimed girly camp pop single “Symptomatic”, receiving 12 million plus combined streams to date, and ending 2021 with “Heavy”, which has tallied 22 million plus combined streams. In 2022, Peach PRC released the liberating single “God Is A Freak” and had everyone talking including pop music titans Billie Eilish, Finneas, and Justin Tranter. She followed it up with “Forever Drunk”, where she teamed up with GRAMMY Award-nominated powerhouse songwriter Bonnie McKee. Enter the world of Peach PRC this March/April for her Secret PRC Tour, joined by Sydney-based singer-songwriter, musician and producer, Carla Wehbe, who is set to hype crowds across the country with her nostalgic sounds and catchy pop hooks.
