Many don’t know this but Two Shell have released sooooo many versions of this legendary tune. This is like witnessing the completion of the sagrada familia
Two Shell have teamed up with Sugababes to rework the pop trio’s 2002 hit “Round Round”

Been saying this. Do something different!
(mainly) uk producers are getting too restricted by “rules”, feel like all the tracks that had that extra lil edge to them and took risks were from producers that weren’t ingrained in the uk scene/genre norms

One thing that’s come big in summer 2024 is this convergence of hard house and garage that labels like ec2a and Hardline, artists like Soul Mass Transit System and Mance have been pushing
After a period of acceleration, the dance floor felt different this summer.
With festival season officially over in the Northern Hemisphere, we look back to take the pulse of dance and electronic music.

This Iglooghost album is insane. He imagines the pirate radio sound of a British seaside town that gets cut off from the mainland and the internet. The result is UK bass, IDM and drill reimagined with restlessness and half-forgotten memories

Honestly? I’m into this. Bieber has vocal chops, it’s his taste that’s always been the issue musically.
This is just the start of mk.gee influencing the top of the music world though trust me
