Nine years ago, A-Trak and Armand van Helden teamed up for the first time as Duck Sauce and dropped their debut single, “Big Bad Wolf.” Six years ago, the duo dropped their debut album, Quack, including the smash hit, “Barbra Streisand.” And then nothing… Since then, A-Trak and van Helden have been hard at work on their solo careers, but we’ve always had Duck Sauce in the back of our minds. Those iconic live shows, the incredible branding, the creativity in the studio and behind the decks — we wanted more. Now, it seems we’re getting our wish. Happy New Year...

With the 2020 presidential election now only eleven months away, people living in the US are sure to see the amount of advertisements for candidates skyrocket in the coming months. However, one place you won’t be hearing any ads is Spotify. The streaming company announced last week that it would be suspending the sale of political advertising on its platform “At this point in time, we do not yet have the necessary level of robustness in our process, systems and tools to responsibly validate and review this content,” the company said in a statement to Ad Age. “We will reassess...
In 2019, we saw a resurgence of Skrillex. I want to avoid using “return” because he never truly left, but certainly in the past 12 months we’ve seen more of him both in our playlists and on our lineups than we did in either 2017 or 2018. With such a stellar year behind him, and hopefully another one to look forward to, OWSLA just dropped a special 2019 Skrillex Yearbook that contains a collection of 2019 live show photos, as well as “behind the scenes and unreleased content.” This is an essential coffee table item for any die-hard Skrillex fan, and...
We’re projecting that 2020 will be a great year for music, as The xx confirm they’re back in the studio! For fans, there’s no better way to start off the new year than this — “We’ve all been working on new music,” The xx captions the post below, “can’t wait to share it with you! Hope you have the best new year!” Over the years, the 3-piece English indie band have championed a distanced blend of rock, pop and electronic, painting outside genre lines in the best possible ways. Their debut album xx came out in 2009, followed by Coexist in...
Ekali announced he has not just one, but two albums coming out in 2020. The producer’s debut album was expected sometime last year, but recently we were filled in on the January 2020 release. As he confirmed in the post below, A World Away is on the very near horizon. Ekali already released a few singles off the album: “Runaway” with Reo Cragun, “Be Fine” with Wafia, “Back To You” with Kiiara,” and “Hard To Say Goodbye” with Illenium and Chloe Angelides. He also teased a new song with Elohim, “Fairytale,” his favorite song he’s ever made. As for the second album, Ekali...
This year — well, I suppose, technically, last year — ravers had their choice of an abundant amount of New Year’s Eve events across the country, both large festivals and local club shows. Whether you were at Countdown in Southern California, Decadence in Arizona or Colorado, Snowglobe in Tahoe, Resolution in Seattle, or wherever else, you likely rang in the new year with a smile and a sh*tload of confetti. Thankfully, social media exists, so if you weren’t at one of these sets, chances are someone has already uploaded it. Below you can check out count downs from Bassnectar, Illenium, Rezz,...
