If you’ve been to a club in the last 10 years, likely at some point in the night, the DJ played a remix or edit that was produced by Kastra. With a catalog of over 500 productions, Kastra’s creative output is prolific, and his sound and style has shaped dance music all over the world. Now with original music like his single “Think About You” and a record deal with Ultra Records, Kastra’s star is rising to counter the narrative from industry media that see him as “one of the most under rated house producers out at the moment”. |… Read more »
GHØSTKID has announced a new album, Hollywood Suicide, and dropped the first single from the record, “FSU.” The new full-length comes out on March 22 via Century Media Records, ahead of their upcoming spring tour with Black Veil Brides, Creeper, and Dark Divine. The post-hardcore act embodies an edgy and (positively) offensive realness that hasn’t been in the scene for a bit. Dramatic make-up, masks at times, but overall, they appear like varieties of the undead, especially in the music video for the new single. All of which makes GHØSTKID stand out as new proverours in the genre. Vocalist Sebastian… Read more »

The six-piece—comprised of Joel Hokka (vocals), Niko Moilanen (vocals), Joonas Porko (guitarist), Olli Matela (bassist), Tommi Lalli (drummer), and Aleksi Kaunisvesi (percussionist)—skillfully deconstructs the track to expose its bare bones. In contrast to the original’s larger-than-life format and sound, the group seamlessly peels back the layers of the track, allowing the rawness and vulnerability of the single to take center stage. Exchanging the intricate instrumentation, heavy beats, and expansive production for the… Read more »
