    Good Times Ahead release electro-house single, ‘So Good’

    Electronic dance music duo Good Times Ahead announced the release of a new electro house single, “So Good” which is available to stream/download via Monstercat.

    Good Times Ahead – So Good

    Opening with a catchy vocal sample, “So Good” is an explosive new record that features an array of genre-blending soundscapes. The track showcases Good Times Ahead range in production ability as it features elements of house and infectious electro vibes. With anticipatory builds that crash into a myriad of gritty drops, the track pulsates with feverous energy perfect for the club or main stage.  

    “We grew up being heavily influenced by the Blog House / Electro House days and wanted to try and bring some of that feeling back. We also wanted to start incorporating a lot more trippy & experimental sounds to have certain weird moments in our sets and we’re so happy with the balance of groove and energy in this one! We’ve had such great feedback from our peers. We can’t wait until the clubs open back up to play this one live!”

  • Diplo releases ambient album ‘MMXX’

    Diplo releases ambient album ‘MMXX’

    On Sept. 4 Diplo announced the release of a brand new ambient album titled, MMXX which is currently available to stream here.

    Featuring a number of collaborations with Rhye, Mikky Ekko, Good Times Ahead, and Lunice, the album is meant to increase global awareness about mental health.

    “I’ve been experimenting with making ambient music for years now. In some ways, it’s a return to my roots—my first album Florida was all super chill instrumentals. For the last few years, I’ve been collaborating with a bunch of friends playing ambient sets around L.A., and when the pandemic hit we decided to lay some of it down. It’s been a huge stress reliever and meditative experience for me, hope it can be the same for you. Checking in with ourselves and taking care of our mental health is so important, now more than ever.”

    – Diplo

    Diplo has partnered with the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum to present “Under Ancient Skies” a series of four, intimate outdoor events where the artist will play his ambient music for a small, socially distanced audience.  The event will feature stargazing as the main attraction led by the museum.  Further, the artist intends to release a companion album with the Smithsonian that will feature spoken word astronomy stories following the events.

    Profits from the album sales will benefit two charities, The Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective (B.E.A.M.), a group of activists committed to the emotional and mental health and healing of Black communities; and The Loveland Foundation, which provides access to mental health resources and financial assistance to Black women and girls.

    To further solidify cement the importance of mental health, Diplo will be featuring five tracks from MMXX on the meditative app Calm.
