[Bass] The Chainsmokers & Bludnymph – Self Destruction Mode (Edison Cole Greenwork)

Posted by TMN Staff - August 22, 2023

The bass music scene, historically dominated by a handful of influential artists, is getting shook up by Edison Cole. The Los Angeles-based prodigy’s trajectory is nothing short of a meteoric ascent. 2022 saw him detonate the landscape with self-released tracks under Eon Music, hitting over 100K streams within the initial 60 days. And the explosive success didn’t stop there. Come September, his independent track clinched the top spot on Spotify’s premier bass playlist “Dubstep Don” not once, but an astounding three weeks consecutively.

It’s the “Self Destruction Mode” remix, presented via The Chainsmokers on Tomorrowland’s iconic Mainstage, that truly exemplifies Edison’s epic style. The track effortlessly marries bludnymph & Drew’s resonant voices with his melodic ingenuity, culminating in one of 2023’s most rhapsodic drops.

What stands out about Cole is his ability to infuse fresh life into remixes. His electrifying rework of Calvin Harris’ “Miracle” became an instant sensation, garnering over 250K streams in just two months. It’s no wonder then that heavyweight DJs like Jauz, Svdden Death, and even the larger-than-life Dj Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal) have jumped onto the Edison Cole bandwagon.

Beyond his recordings, Edison’s live sets have become well-known for their ceaseless energy. He’s not just challenging the conventions of bass music; he’s going beyond them.

Posted by TMN Staff - August 15, 2023

To truly grasp the heart of the ever-evolving narrative in electronic music, one must attentively immerse themselves in the subtle nuances woven within the works of emerging artists. Here, we encounter the synergy of JONJEN and TZUNAAMI, channeling an unquenchable spirit in their creation “Hate It, Love It (feat. GLNNA)”. This single goes above and beyond what you may understand regarding bass music. Within its structure lie fragments of melodic bass and progressive house, meticulously interwoven to chronicle a tumultuous tale of love’s intricate journey.

JONJEN, a rising talent from New Jersey and now finding creative solace amidst San Francisco’s musical landscape, blends his artistry with shades reminiscent of indie and cinematic soundscapes. He’s been supported by names like Nicky Romero, as well as the label Barong Family, associated with Yellow Claw, which showcases just how far he’s come at this point in his history. Opening for names like William Black and Sabai, while releasing on labels such as Soave & Wave Music, stands as more than mere accolades. They bear witness to his unwavering dedication to his art.

Yet, the collaboration with TZUNAAMI, a duo straddling Bangkok and New York City, adds a dynamic charge. Their sonic fusions have broken through, making waves across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Soundcloud. The resonance of their skills has garnered recognition on stages such as Proximity and Arctic Empire. While “Hate It, Love It” marks their inaugural formal release, the vibrancy of their artistic history reverberates with mastery and depth.

This release highlights the beauty of collaboration, as each name has seemingly put the best of both their styles into one release – one can hope this won’t be the last time these two work together.

[Music Video] Isaiah Brown – Please Be The One

Posted by TMN Staff - April 13, 2023

Back in November of 2022 Isaiah Brown released his debut album DREAMERBOY to a fantastic response by his fans and media alike. Continuing on that journey, Isaiah has expanded the music with video counterparts, most recently for the song “Please Be The One.”

The hip-hop meets R&B track was a standout on the LP, one that fans surely will be singing loud during Isaiah’s upcoming GENESIS tour. It’s one of our favorites from his album and the music video does it justice with its minimalist tone. It’s a fun visual with a laidback style that fits the vibe of the song. It’s not quite hot enough for the beach in most places, but let Isaiah take you there with this project!

“When we open our hearts up to the fullest capacity of the world and people around us, we discover the depths of our own existence and the power of positivity. Let us embrace one another as one collective consciousness, all striving towards a better tomorrow, for our children and our children’s children. One Earth and One Love under the power of God, The Universe, and Our Creator/Mother Nature.” – Isaiah Brown

[Electronic] matphilly & SUBshockers – AMP EP

Posted by TMN Staff - March 7, 2023

Projects that are homages to loved ones lost always hit home harder. With matphilly‘s collaboration EP AMP, created alongside SUBshockers, that claim holds true. What began as one song to honor his brother who passed away suddenly in July of 2020, this matphilly EP grew into a five track seasonal release that culminated into the EP.

AMP starts with a cinematic introduction that sets the emotional tone for what’s to come. “All I’m Missing In This…it Makes Me Numb” follows suit, journeying from a heartfelt piano composition into a cathartic explosion of bass. From there matphilly and SUBshockers take you on a sonic adventure through different sounds, styles and emotions that showcase just how much matphilly’s brother meant to them, as he was also a great friend to SUBshockers. Overall, it’s a great project that does justice to its aim.

“My brother was an important part of my life and losing him out of nowhere really changed the course of my life and mental health. So much so that I was going to quit music but I know he would want me to keep going, so to pay tribute to him, I chose my closest friends in SUBshockers. He knew my brother as well and we channeled our energy to pay tribute to his life and legacy. This is something I want the world to see who never met my brother and how important he was to so many people. He’s missed dearly and I hope we did him justice in this project.” – matphilly

[Indie/Pop] fknsyd – Taste.test Mixtape

Posted by TMN Staff - March 5, 2023

One of electronic music’s most promising topliners in fknsyd has stepped out on her own with the debut solo mixtape Taste.test. Having worked with Rezz, Slander, RL Grime and many more, dance fans already know her chops when it comes to creating, but now we get the full breadth of her talents and artistic direction thanks to a beautiful 9-track project.

Taste.test invites the listener into a world of chill soundscapes blending indie, pop, R&B and more for an experience anybody can sink their existence into. There’s a common message throughout tying the song’s together through a cohesive thread that showcases just what this project means to fknsyd as she heroically embarks on her solo journey. It’s a well crafted, strong first step and we hope to hear more from her!

“Taste.test is a compilation of songs I made over the last year or two. With my personal music I do everything myself, and I don’t feel overly confident about most of the skills involved in that process. As much as I’d like to only share things I feel completely satisfied with, I don’t think it needs to be that serious, and I realize whatever that standard is for me will be ever-changing. It doesn’t make me happy to stockpile a bunch of music. I admire people who share their art, so to me this is a step in the direction of feeling more comfortable doing that.” – fknsyd
