One of the rising stars coming out of Canada, Charlie Darker is now becoming a household name in the EDM realm. Coming off a major original collaboration with progressive house duo Paris & Simo called "Cairo", Darker has just unleashed his new single "Anxiety". A catchy electro melody with big room undertones contrasted with a unique and darker break followed by masterful synth work makes this track a force to be reckon with. I asked Darker what his inspiration and creativity was behind this new song and he told...
Dim Mak Records, known for their high energy and heavy-hitting roster of artists, returns with some of the hardest artists in the industry, Showtek.

I have recently fallen in love with the Toronto-based threesome known as Keys n Krates. Providing a sound to be reckoned with, you are already behind if you are not familiar with them. So for those of you looking to be musically forward: take notes. The trio joined forces in 2008 with the desire to...

It seems to me that every other artist I write on is flocking to Australia right now, trying to catch the last month of the southern hemisphere’s summer. Add to that American artist Clockwork (one of my favorites of the Dim Mak crew), who will be touring down there with his alter ego RL Grime....

Canada seems to be a breeding ground for some of my favorite new house artists, one of those being Dzeko & Torres. All their releases have been music to my ears, especially “Y3AH!” with ANSOL, which has been on repeat for about a month now. HEY just dropped on Dim Mak Records, and the debut...
