Opening with “No Manners,” slinking basslines grind through metallic trap rhythms with confrontational precision, delivering the kind of unfiltered energy that recalls the Georgian-born producer’s early underground roots while sounding sharper than ever. The same surgical approach carries into […]

PEEKABOO has joined forces with UK grime vet Scrufizzer for a new single, “One More Time.” Out now via Major Recordings, Warner’s flagship electronic dance music imprint, the snarling dubstep track is vintage PEEKABOO.

Each June, the quiet town of Rothbury, Michigan transforms into the psychedelic wonderland of Electric Forest, where electronic music, surrealist art and human connection collide.

With 14 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, the popular content creator is now pursuing a career as a DJ and […]
Memories are fleeting, as are live performances, but a feeling can last forever. LSDREAM and CloZee conjured more than enough to share when they took over Seattle’s WAMU Theater June 13-14, the penultimate stop on their one-time-only LSZEE tour.
