Sp8ce Owl’s single “70’s Somewhere” is another intensely physical EDM instrumental from this newcomer. Owl debuted in 2021 with a well-received EP entitled A Future’s Past and has set an impressive pace since then with a full-length album titled A Room Without Walls following soon after. This single hails from his latest EP release Quantum …

Pouncing on us with everything they’ve got, Makes My Blood Dance is ushering in another layer of brutality with the release of their new single “Together Apart,” a track which immediately brings to mind the shock rock of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails with an added dose of melodic …

Exotic melodies lead the charge in the new single “NRG” from De Royce featuring Alex(TOK) and Moca Generation, but if you think it’s all thrills and no chill in this fiery track, you’ve got another thing coming this summer. “NRG” is powered by its vocal harmonies, admittedly, but its beat …

In “The One That Got Away,” The High Plains Drifters come into a swinging groove with the kind of intensity you would expect from two prospective loves on a dancefloor, but while moxie is one of the main ingredients in their sonic recipe, overindulgence is not an element listeners are …
