Top 10 EDM Songs Released This Month (May 2014)

Do you like music? Nice, so do I.

That’s why instead of hitting up happy hour for some dirty flirtinis, I spent my entire Friday afternoon ferociously debating which new EDM tracks are the most trill. And by ‘most trill’, I mean the 10 songs released this month that simply cannot be denied – for any reason, other than if you peed your pants.

Then again, peeing your pants is cool.

So uhh…yah. You should listen to all of these songs.

10. Wielding their street sweeping beat, SNAILS is shooting “SLUGZ.”

9. Kill The Zo, ’nuff said.

8. Once you go Thomas Jack, you never go back.

7. There’s Goldfish, there’s Koi, and then there’s this song.

6. It’s an Audien “Revolution.” We’re just living in it.

5. No, no “Ice Cream Sound.” Not until you eat your vegetables.

4. Remaining static will be a problem for die-hard fans of The Knocks. We present, “Move Me.”

3. Porter Robinson unveils another revolutionary chapter in his pièce de résistance, the “Sad Machine.”

2. Complete satiation thanks to the trio that is Nero.

1. Welcome insomnia. You won’t stop listening to this…not even for sleep.

Who The Hell Is JVMES? [Artist Spotlight]

Music has a funny way of growing on you; It’s an unspoken and innate process defining the thin line between what sounds good and what doesn’t.

Over the past eighteen days, this next release by JVMES or James or JAMESSSSS (I have no idea, the dude spells it differently EVERYWHERE) has been slowly creeping up on me. Unfortunately for this brand new, LA-based producer, his meager following of only three-hundred and eighty-nine SoundCloud followers simply does not carry the proper weight needed to stir the proverbial pot, in hopes of creating waves in the Electronic Dance Music scene.

Furthermore, 389? Are you f*@#ing kidding me??? This dude has got way too much talent for that.

Let’s help a brotha out.

However, this is where we are supposed to come in. 

“Koi Pond” by JVMES is a work of art. Anytime the song falls upon fresh ears (my friends), they enthusiastically inquire as to who the track was by and where they could find it on SC. I assume they are interested in listening to it again. Or probably so they can introduce it to others and claim that they “discovered” the artist themselves.

Posers.

I digress.

Anywho, with no real information on any of his various social media accounts beside two hilariously vague quotes, I don’t really have a lot to go on here. Well, besides the fact that “Koi Pond” sounds the way an orgasm feels.

Yeah, it’s that good.

As for genre, I don’t know…how does “Downtempo Existential Future Ratchet Melodic Bass Chillout” sound?

Good. Who even cares anymore?
