About a decade ago, Moby released his ode to the touring lifestyle, Hotel. The album featured a limited-edition bonus disc with the self-explanatory title, Hotel: Ambient. Long out of print, Hotel: Ambient is belatedly getting its time in the spotlight with a remastered reissue featuring extended tracks and previously unreleased......

Two decades ago the DJ bible of the time, Mixmag, gave Sasha the title “Son of God” (with a superfluous question mark at the end). While the internationally renowned DJ may still cringe at that tag, there is a reason it was bestowed upon him. The much thrown-about DJ phrase......

The hipster dream team of New York’s DFA Records and the U.K.’s Hot Chip come together to present a curated night of quality music. Three of the five members of Hot Chip — Felix Martin, Al Doyle and Joe Goddard — will flex their DJ skills with what promises to......

Andy C, easily the planet’s most popular drum ’n’ bass DJ, established RAM Records more than two decades ago, at the age of 16. This summer, RAM Drum & Bass USA, Volumes 1, 2 and 3 were released in succession. Each an hour in length, the compilations give a comprehensive......

The New York City–based duo of Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow delivered on the glittery sonic promises made on their much-licensed EP, Candy Bar Creep Show, with the 2013 debut album, Secondhand Rapture. Hershenow’s chiseled, electronics-propelled melodies are deepened......

Instead of banging out predictable, recycled drops at quick intervals, the Australian trio takes its time crafting subtle, gentle grooves. Rufus du Sol’s debut album, Atlas, doesn’t draw from a wide selection of sounds, but it doesn’t need to. The bubbling......
