ATLiens’ Remix of Creed’s “One Last Breath” Melds Bass With Grungy Anguish: Listen

AI Chat - Image Generator:

ATLiens have released a massive official remix of Creed’s 2002 alt-rock hit, “One Last Breath,” a track once synonymous with emotional overload in the post-grunge era.

Known for their otherworldly bass drops and mysterious persona, the masked duo’s rework reimagines “One Last Breath” for festival stages, twisting the knife into its internal despair with pulsating bass.

Bridging the gap between the angst of late-’90s post-grunge and 2020s maximalism, the remix preserves the soul of Scott Stapp’s anguished vocals, which hang heavy before ATLiens unleash a bass drop that feels like gravity finally giving out. Their aggressive edit amplifies the original’s existential dread while simultaneously offering what feels like a solution: a cathartic injection of heavy bass that lends itself perfectly to the conclusion of a live set.

What started as a viral TikTok teaser gained further traction during performances at Ultra Music Festival and Red Rocks, where the remix became a highlight of ATLiens’ sets. For longtime Creed fans and bass-heads alike, it serves as a cultural handshake, forged in nostalgia but delivered with modern production teeth.

33 Below Returns With New UKG Banger After Yearlong Absence: Listen to “Mash Up”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

11 months of silence are shattered in three minutes of brilliance in “Mash Up,” 33 Below‘s first new original music in nearly a year.

With the new single, the New Zealand-born artist signals a triumphant return that should put the electronic music community on notice. We might be witnessing the start of a particularly massive chapter for one of the scene’s most exciting young producers, who in 2023 was named in EDM.com‘s list of the year’s best electronic records.

“Feels good to be back,” 33 Below wrote on Instagram last week after teasing a slew of new tracks in the works.

The production of “Mash Up” delivers exactly what fans of 33 Below have been craving, with skittering percussive patterns and deep, filthy bass that feels both precise and utterly unhinged. Meanwhile, West London grime vet Scrufizzer brings the vocal heat, his rapid-fire delivery and party-starting lyrics creating the kind of infectious energy that spreads across dancefloors like wildfire.

SOFI TUKKER Deliver Delectable Counterpart to 2024’s “BREAD” With New Album, “butter”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Bread and butter are a classic pairing, but SOFI TUKKER aren’t ones to follow the status quo. The duo have released their fourth studio album, butter, a delectable counterpart to 2024’s steamy BREAD.

While BREAD stands for “Be Really Energetic And Dance,” butter dials down the tempo and raises the heat, melting listeners with sensual serenades and soulful soundscapes through a Brazilian lens.

Comprising “nearly all organic elements,” according to SOFI TUKKER’s Sophie Hawley-Weld, butter is infused with Brazilian sonics ranging from “more classical tropical genres like bolero, bachata, samba-cançao, bossa nova and baião to more contemporary genres like reggae, Brazilian funk and samba-reggae.”

The Brazilian genre bossa nova is what Hawley-Weld was pursuing when she first met her SOFI TUKKER bandmate, Tucker Halpern, over a decade ago. We got our first glimpse way back in 2018 by virtue of “Brazilian Soul,” a collaboration with The Knocks that has since amassed over 50 million streams on Spotify alone.

Since then, the tandem has worked to subtly incorporate bossa nova into the chart-topping dance music we all know and love. Now, however, they’ve returned to where it all began in order to release something more substantial.

“This whole album is a dream come true and it marks an important time in my life… my return to Brazil,” Hawley-Weld said. “My Portuguese improved, my relationships there grew, and I felt vibrant in a way that only Brazil makes me feel.”

Following the release of BREAD, Hawly-Weld and Halpern were put in touch with Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Marcio Arantes, who helped produce butter. He brought in Julio “Fejuca”Caesar (guitar), Daniel Conceição (percussion), Lulinha Alencar (accordion) and Will Bone (horns) to flesh out the album’s instrumentals.

Each rendition of the original is buttery smooth, with an eloquent fluidity from start to finish. Some standout tracks include “Throw Some Ass” and “Perfect Someone,” which have been artistically melted into sultry live versions.

“It was different from what Tuck and I are used to while making dance music, which tends to be very stop-and-start and loop-based,” Hawley-Weld affirms.

Acyan’s “Ghost Town” EP Is Bass Music Storytelling at Its Most Ominous

AI Chat - Image Generator:

In a musical era saturated with releases expressly designed for virality, Acyan’s new Ghost Town EP delivers a breath of hauntingly fresh air. Out now via Wubaholics, the five-track project growls and groans with the eerie ambience of the forgotten towns that inspired it.

There’s an honesty to Ghost Town that makes it stand apart. Acyan, whose day job as a Fort Collins bus driver lends him an unpretentious mystique, brings a rare depth of intent. Where others settle for filthy beats and call it a day, he built a narrative shaped by a solo road trip through rural America.

Ghost Town is a post-industrial tone poem told through trap beats both unsettling and captivating. The opening track “RAVEN” sets the scene with delirious, claustrophobic energy that evokes the terror of being followed by a malicious entity. But it remains curiously danceable, a tightly coiled track that presents Acyan as both technician and storyteller.

“KEOTA” follows with more grime, unease and cleverness with delicately crafted sound design that conveys Acyan’s chaotic emotional state. A tempo switch in the second drop adds notable flair, seeming as if the track itself is dodging ghosts. Each element feels ominously lab-grown, but the track’s emotional potency keeps it afloat in a way that no amount of technical know-how could.

By the time we reach the EP’s closer “URAVAN,” the tone shifts. It’s not quite catharsis, but it’s something like a sunrise over an empty landscape. Airier and quietly triumphant, it rounds out the EP with a brief release from the existential dread preceding it.

With support from icons like Skrillex and RL Grime, and a fast-climbing profile bolstered by high-profile festival performances, Acyan is emerging as a force to be reckoned with in bass music. Ghost Town feels like a message sent from the edge of isolation, but it’s sure to bring people together through its unique sonic identity and depth.

Mike Posner Reclaims The Dancefloor With “Cooler Than Me” Remix Pack

AI Chat - Image Generator:

15 years after telling the world off with a synth hook and smirk, Mike Posner is back to prove his breakthrough debut single still runs the dancefloor. Armed with five heavy-hitting reworks and a brand-new vocal from Posner himself, Dim Mak Records has released a remix pack to breathe new life into “Cooler Than Me.”

The timing is no accident. Posner is set to make a high-profile appearance at EDC Las Vegas this weekend, and the EP, dubbed Headliner Remix Pack, sets the stage with ample firepower. Notably, it’s also the first of three planned remix projects the artist will be releasing in partnership with Steve Aoki’s storied label.

For Posner, whose crossover appeal crystallized with SeeB’s hit remix of “I Took A Pill in Ibiza” back in 2015, the remix bundle is a return to his roots with renewed perspective. “Cooler Than Me” was both his debut single and breakthrough, breaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching multi-Platinum status worldwide.

The new remixes span a range of textures and tones, each transforming the original into something entirely its own. Deorro delivers a maximum-impact mainstage rework while Daniel Allan pulls the track into a UK garage groove, tightening the rhythm into a kinetic bounce.

Getter, making a rare return to electronic music production, brings snarling basslines and mechanical grit. 4B crashes through with trap artillery while NIIKO x SWAE slow it down with a smoother, deep house gloss that simmers beneath Posner’s re-sung vocal.

Alok and Łaszewo Team Up With A$AP Rocky for Synth-Fueled Dance Track, “HIGHJACK (right back)”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Alok and Łaszewo have joined forces with A$AP Rocky, sampling his track “HIGHJACK” and reimagining it as a high-energy dance anthem.

If Rocky’s darkly expressionistic original was a hostage situation, this new version is the adrenaline-fueled rescue mission. “HIGHJACK (right back)” strips its brooding hip-hop framework and rebuilds it for peak-hour club moments, dialing up the tempo for today’s dancefloors.

Originally nestled in smoky, downtempo soundscapes, Rocky’s street-wise delivery now floats above Alok and Łaszewo’s’ kinetic four-on-the-floor beats. This careful blend transforms what could have been a jarring juxtaposition into a symbiotic relationship where his urban cool provides the perfect counterbalance to the production’s frenetic energy.

Łaszewo’s synth work also stands out as particularly impressive here. The surging electro-pop group layers pulsing chords atop Alok’s chugging bass, producing an arrangement that pops with both urgency and atmospherics.

The original “HIGHJACK” dropped in August 2024 as the lead single from Rocky’s long-awaited fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. The record will feature production from Swedish House Mafia, he revealed back in the summer of 2023.

Listen to Axwell and CARMA’s Cinematic House Banger, “Until The Lights Go Out”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

With his new single “Until The Lights Go Out,” Axwell builds a dancefloor where convictions are checked at the door.

Out now via Axtone, “Until The Lights Go Out” captures a raw, almost primal urge to dance until collapse. We’ve all experienced that weightless feeling of invincibility on the dancefloor, and Axwell, ever the architect of dancefloor catharsis, leans into this tension beautifully alongside CARMA, the duo comprising James Carter and Tom Martin.

Meanwhile, their production is both euphoric and haunting, delivering a four-on-the-floor banger that pulses with cinematic gravitas. Fluttering synths cascade atop a dramatic house drop, one of the highlights of the iconic Swedish House Mafia member’s first-ever solo performance at Ultra Miami in March.

The hedonistic house track marks Axwell’s return to his own Axtone imprint after a seven-year hiatus, his last solo release coming back in 2018 with “Nobody Else.” He recently sold the record label to Pophouse Entertainment but continues to retain a prominent role as Founding Partner and Creative Advisor.

Champagne Drip and Linney Join Forces for Dreamy Bass EP, “Story Arcs”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Champagne Drip and Linney have reunited to release Story Arcs, a genre-bending EP out now via Liquid Stranger’s Wakaan imprint.

The three-track project masterfully oscillates between future bass, house, dubstep and drum & bass as Champagne Drip threads his dreamlike production through the emotive vocals of Linney, a recent inductee to the EDM.com Class of 2025. The duo last teamed up in 2021 for “In My Dreamz,” and their latest once again strikes a compelling balance between storytelling and hypotonic production.

“I poured a lot into Story Arcs—it came from a real place and gave me the chance to blend all the styles I love,” Champagne Drip shared on social media.

The EP begins with “Inside Out,” a bass track swirling with Champagne Drip’s psychedelic soundscapes and Linney’s aching lyrics. Then comes “Castle,” where she guides us through a kaleidoscopic dubstep sequence before the arrangement closes with a breathtaking four-on-the-floor drop. They close with “Running,” a liquid drum & bass cut that layers angelic vocals over carefully sculpted drum patterns and neurobass.

Listen to John Summit’s Remix of Delerium and Sarah McLachlan’s 1999 Trance Classic, “Silence”

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Remixing dance classics requires both reverence and audacity, qualities John Summit wields with finesse in his new remix of Delirium and Sarah McLachlan’s turn-of-the-century trance hit, “Silence.”

Summit’s official remix is out now via Tomorrowland Music, the record label launched by the iconic EDM festival of the same name. The Chicago-born electronic music superstar manages to inject his anthemic sound while preserving the spiritual quality that made the original a genre-defining moment back in 1999.

McLachlan’s timeless, crystalline vocals serve as the bedrock of Summit’s reimagining, their existential weight magnified by his contemporary production approach. What emerges is a remarkable dialogue between decades as McLachlan’s timeless meditation on human disconnection finds renewed urgency within Summit’s propulsive house beats, proving that certain emotional truths transcend the confines of both musical eras and their dancefloors.

The track’s journey from Madison Square Garden debut to official release mirrors Summit’s own meteoric rise. His ability to bridge the generational gap (he also remixed deadmau5 and Kaskade’s 2008 classic “I Remember”) speaks to a producer who understands and respects dance music history while pushing relentlessly forward.

“As a longtime raver and trance fan, it’s an absolute honor to remix ‘Silence’ by Delerium,” Summit said in a press release. “I originally made this remix as an edit for my first ever arena show at the iconic Madison Square Garden and it quickly became a fan-favorite. It’s hard to give justice to such a classic, but I think Sarah McLachlan’s powerful vocals along with my trance infused modern tech house production helps bring this song to life in this current era and I’m so stoked to share this one with the world.”
