In a time when we could all use some good vibes, DVBBS captures the breezy nature of the Golden State on their new track “West Coast,“ together with pop sensation Quinn XCII. Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away to the land of palm trees, ocean breeze, and endless summer as DVBBS and Quinn XCII deliver a driving bassline with upbeat melodies; coupled with its carefree lyrics, “West Coast” becomes an anthem for escaping your circumstances to live the way that feels the most authentic to you. The new single follows DVBBS’ latest album “Nothing To See Here” from August and Quinn XCII’s 3rd studio LP “A Letter To My Younger Self,” released this summer on Columbia Records. Check out what the artists had to say about their collaboration below.

“Sprinkle some DVBBS sauce on a Quinn XCII vocal, and this is what you get. Whether you’re from the West Coast or East Coast, we’ll be turning up together soon.” – DVBBS

“‘West Coast’ is about finding that easiness in life that we all need from time to time. The song came about in the studio one day after playing this raw piano melody that inspired this carefree feeling. DVBBS did an amazing job giving the song a fresh approach to a dance record that I’m excited to be a part of.” – Quinn XCII

Few producers have risen to the top in the electronic music scene as quickly as DVBBS, who captured the industry’s attention with hits like “Tsunami” and “Not Going Home” and never let it go. The Canadian brothers Alex and Christopher have been continuously cultivating their sound since their debut in 2012, and have racked up an impressive display of collaborations with renowned names from diverse musical backgrounds. From hip hop superstar Juicy J to the NERVO twins, DVBBS continues to prove there’s nothing they can’t accomplish. The brothers have played everywhere from Lollapalooza to Tomorrowland, though they’ve been busy in the studio during the global pandemic. Quinn XCII’s unique fusion of pop, hip-hop, alternative, and soul has garnered him a loyal following and over 1.5 billion streams worldwide. He is well known for tracks such as “Love Me Less” with MAX (which was performed on Jimmy Kimmel, The Today Show, and more), “Flare Guns” with Chelsea Cutler, and multiple Global Viral Charts singles on Spotify.

The magic of “My Radio” by Arkadiusz Van Born lies within its dancefloor-ready sound. Hailing from America, this young DJ/producer grew up in Europe and had his first contact with everything relating to electronic music. During childhood, a Casio keyboard aroused his curiosity about rhythms and tones. Soon after, he developed a good musical ear that allowed him to recreate Trance and Techno beats. These genres were introduced to him thanks to his elder sister who used to have an active nightlife during the 90s.

It is not a cliché to say, his purpose as an artist is to unify people through his upbeat melodies. But not only that, he also wants to inspire you to follow your dreams in this creative industry. In his case, he went far as a self-taught musician. During the period of 2009-2010, local music charts placed him as the #1 DJ from Chicago with his first hit. Today he wants to repeat the same success story with “My Radio”. Use your headphones, turn up the volume, and enjoy this cutting edge gem. Besides production Arkadiusz excels in equal fashion within the composition, mastering, editing, and mixing fields.

The newest release from Nicky Romero’s Protocol Recordings comes in the form of “Nobody Like You” an emotive and uplifting progressive track from Kosling & Bmark featuring vocals by American Idol finalist Robbie Rosen. The song showcases delicate piano melodies that build up into a euphonious, groovy drop and accompanying elements of classic progressive house hits that will bring back fond festival memories for many listeners. Rosen’s soulful vocals bring life to the hopeful lyrics, making “Nobody Like You” perfect belting out the words to, and dancing with that special someone. The new single is Kosling’s return to Protocol after the first appearance on the label with 2019’s “Wildest Dream” in collaboration with Thomas Gold, which has amassed over 11M streams on Spotify alone.

Nicky Romero and the Protocol crew can always be counted on for cutting-edge new music, melding a variety of genres for both unexpected sounds and much-loved classics. “Nobody Like You” is only Kosling’s second release on the label, but he comes to Protocol with a resume that boasts several successful releases on Armada Music, Proximity, Size Records, and Revealed Recordings. His very first single “Believe” has garnered over 1M streams in less than a month, earning the support of heavyweights, including Nicky Romero, David Guetta, Tiësto, and Afrojack. Swedish producer Bmark makes his debut on Protocol Recordings with the new release, having already worked together with Robbie Rosen earlier on his tracks “Bright Lights” and “Need You Tonight.” With such strong collaborations under their belts, there’s no doubt “Nobody Like You” is only the beginning for Kosling and Bmark.

Kaskade is giving fans something to look forward to in quarantine with the announcement of his “Road Trip” tour, where he will host drive-in style concerts in four different California locations. Kaskade will hit Anaheim on Halloween weekend, followed by Pleasanton, Ventura, and Del Mar in November. For a chance at early signup, visit kaskademusic.com to get access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public on October 15. The tour announcement comes as the next installment of Kaskade’s quarantine-themed concepts, such as earlier album “Arkade Destinations: Living Room” and the first-ever DJ performance at the Grand Canyon. Check out what Kaskade is looking forward to about the “Road Trip” tour below:

“I’m not unique in feeling restless and the need to get out has become more than an itch, it’s full-on. So knowing that I have a lot of West Coast massive fans feeling the same way, I’ve decided to move the party from our living rooms to the drive-in. It’s safe, and it’ll give us all a way to get up and get down from the safety of our cars. Things aren’t “normal” yet and this is a new experience, but I’m not mad at that. I’m looking forward to playing music and seeing those faces, whether there is a windshield between us or not. It’s still a connection and that’s what I’m here for.” – Kaskade

As a household name in electronic music for nearly two decades, Kaskade needs no introduction. His list of achievements is a mile long: 11 studio albums, 7 GRAMMY nominations, the first solo electronic dance artist to sell out both Navy Pier in Chicago and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the first DJ to ever secure a Las Vegas residency, and the first electronic artist to headline Coachella. Less tangible but even more important has been his influence on dance music tastes and culture for generations of listeners. Often Kaskade is one of the artists who introduced now-veteran listeners to the genre, and such fans are usually fans for life. In 2019, he worked with multi-award winner Meghan Trainor on “With You” and Gorgon City on “Go Slow,” among solo releases, such as “My Light,” “Come On,” and official remixes for the likes of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, and Gwen Stefani earlier. Kaskade continues what has become a nostalgic tradition for many dance music veterans and a cherished experience for new listeners. Stay tuned for more news from Kaskade in 2020.
