This man is on a tear. Are you still hating on Justin Biber? What Do You Mean? It’s time to get over it. Bugatti Biebz just dropped his third absolute smash of the year. With Skrillex on the boards, “Sorry” will be taking over airwaves everywhere in no time. For now, enjoy the dance video on JB’s Vevo or stream the mp3 on Apple Music! We’re pretty sure you won’t have trouble finding this song in a few days. Enjoy!
Whereas the Katie Couric/Skrillex interview was entertaining, this one really impressed me. Charlie Rose asked all the right questions, and both Diplo and Skrillex (who? Oh, you mean Sonny) really painted a picture of the current state of EDM, their creative process, and what makes them different. Check it out, definitely worth your time.
If you haven’t heard this song by now, you probably live under a rock. Today, Diplo & Skrillex decided to drop the official visuals to accompany their summer smash. They released this statement to accompany the video:
“We are being overwhelmed, in a good way, by the success of “Where Are Ü Now” with Justin Bieber, so with the video we wanted to just take it back to the beginning of the record & essentially create an ode to our fans. Doing what we do, it’s entirely all about the fans. We walk a fine line by being “famous” and in the public eye but we are only here because of you, the fans. Justin wrote this record during a tough time in his life and it comes to us that sometimes, as artists, we are also just objects and we have to take that as much as we have to use that to create. We all do this for you, respect that you put us here and it’s Ü that made the video.” – JACK Ü

The heat was on last weekend with thousands of people packing Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Electric Daisy Carnival. This year’s lineup featured nearly everyone who’s anyone in EDM. We’ve been plugging through sets from the weekend and have compiled our top five sets. It just wouldn’t be right to talk about the top sets from last weekend without including Avicii’s set at XS and Skrillex’s set from Sonar Festival in Barcelona too. Enjoy!
5) Galantis – Kinetic Field
There’s just no denying how incredible the rise of Galantis has been thus far. Galantis put together great set at EDC LV, however it did bear strong resemblance to their Ultra set at times. Only weeks removed from the release of their debut album, Christian Karlsson and Linus Eklöw have blown away fans and critics with Pharmacy.
4) Kaskade – Kinetic Field
Kaskade can throw down with the best of them. He’s done it time and time again so there’s nothing new about this. Kaskade put on a special performance that incorporated a new single, “Disarm You,” fused with timeless Kaskade tracks.
3) Oliver Heldens – Kinetic Field
Oliver Heldens is officially out of his shell and doin’ just fine without it. Many people questioned Heldens’ set time being wedged between Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike on the first night but he delivered the goods with a phenomenal set.
2) Pretty Lights – Cosmic Meadow
Pretty Lights brought funk by the truckload to the desert and unleashed it on the Cosmic Meadow crowd. A really groovy set from start to finish.
1) Dash Berlin – Kinetic Field
Dash Berlin takes the cake as best set from EDC Las Vegas 2015. A killer opening eventually led to remixes of “Take Me To Church,” “Bad Blood,” and “Outside.” If you don’t think Dash Berlin & Emma Hewitt’s “Waiting” is a legendary track, you’re simply wrong. His song selection was on point and left Dashers & festival goers in awe.
Avicii – XS Nightclub Las Vegas
Although Avicii decided not to release his set from EDC Las Vegas, he dropped this set from XS a few days before. Plenty of new tracks off Stories were on display.
Skrillex – Sonar Festival Barcelona
What I would have given to be in the crowd at Sonar Festival in Barcelona last weekend. Skrillex played a high-energy set that had everything from originals to “Trap Queen.” Sonny Moore knows how to fuel a party and did a hell of a job.
Vic Mensa and… SKRILLEX?! Yeah, you heard that right. Skrillex is slowly building his hip-hop resume. First, it was “Wild for the Night” with A$AP Rocky. Then, him and Diplo (known as jack U) released “Febreeze” with 2 Chainz. Now, we have this. While we wait for the official CDQ to drop, check out the video below and let us know what you think.
A little oldie but goodie from Elephante. He molds the current song of the year into something us prog addicts can chew on.
