Musically, Phantogram dive deeper into the realm of mainstream pop with their infectious new single, “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore,” but they certainly have not lost their edgy. They might even be edgier. I suppose some will complain that it’s more pop than electropop or whatever, but I happen to think it’s awesome.

interview by Michael McCarthy One of the very first interviews I did for Love is Pop was with Dean Garcia, formerly of Curve, who was promoting his new project SPC ECO, which finds him recording dark and dreamy music with his daughter Rose Berlin on vocals. Since that interview, SPC ECO has released several more…

If you like artsy, experimental pop then today’s #songoftheday should put a huge smile on your face. It delivers more sounds than one could possibly count, layers and layers of them, and it also shifts directions when you least expect it. A real artistic statement, not something even remotely aimed at the radio. All in…

Today we’re premiering “Piece of Me,” the title track to Simon Shackleton’s upcoming album, and fans of electronic music are in for a real treat here. With pulsating, electronic bass and subtle bass guitar it manages to evoke both The Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method. Meanwhile, some of the richly layered beats could be…

Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year’s Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack’s latest, “Open Fire,” and it’s a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be in the R&B/neo-soul vein, albeit with some dubstep…

by Michael McCarthy Each year, I feel overwhelmed before writing a “best albums of” list. There are always so many releases that I’ve loved during any given year, it makes it very difficult to narrow them down to a reasonable number. (When I first listed my best from this year, it was 144 albums long.)…

Diplo doesn’t need help from anyone else to create a mammoth EDM banger, but he’s collaborated with Sleepy Tom here anyway and you can thank your lucky stars that he did because the result is a truly invigorating beast of a song. It also features gorgeous vocals, an interpolation of Jade’s classic “Don’t Walk Away,”…

If you’re getting bored with EDM, well, I really couldn’t blame you. In fact, I am, too. But today we have a two song EP from Ckrono & Slesh, a duo hailing from Florence, Italy, and it’s a stimulating blend of kudoro (something I’d never heard of before), Afro-house, funk, dub and even a bit…

The name Made of Oak might not ring a bell. You may not even recognize the real name of the man who’s so named himself, Nick Sanborn. But if you’re an electronic pop music fan, or just a fan of electronic music in general, then the name of his full-time gig surely will, as it’s…

No, it’s not a Bee Gees cover… It’s an original club banger by Calvin Harris featuring Disciples. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever heard the Disciples, so I don’t know if the singer simply lent her voice to this track or if there’s a producer in the group — or are…

Majical Cloudz opened for Lorde during her North American tour in 2014. Their former tour manager, Neil Corcoran, decided to accompany them on the road again but in a different capacity, as a documentary filmmaker. Previously, he’d only directed a small number of low budget videos.

Is this the same Gregory Porter of the jazz world, who once sang “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” with Jamie Cullem? Why, yes — yes, it is… His is not a voice I ever would have ever expected to mesh well with Disclosure’s dubby beats but somehow it works. I know, a jazz singer shouldn’t…
