William Black Takes An Emotional Journey With His Second Album ‘Pieces’!
Los Angeles-based producer, William Black, has released his second studio album, ‘Pieces’, via Lowly. ‘Pieces’ is a collection of songs that are each tied to an individual memory. Together, these tracks form an album representative of Black’s personal experience up to this point in his life. They are specific to him but universal enough to be felt by anyone.
Black’s second album features a variety of other artists who all resonated with his desire to show nostalgia through music. Each vocalist’s soulful exploration of meaningful lyrics gives the individual tracks a depth to them which creates a connection to the listener. Each artist helps to provide the album a commonality, regardless of it changing from purely electronic to pop-punk to emotional medleys. Also featured on the album are some of the most talented producers in the EDM world right now such as Nurko, Essenger, Fairlane, and Forester. The focus track for the album, ‘Don’t Look Down’, will have an official music video dropping on November 5 via Lowly’s YouTube Channel.
“Pieces is about putting together all the moments I’ve gone through, particularly considering the feelings attached to them. Each song is about a different emotional memory I have. Together, all these parts make up who I am as a person. Writing this album has helped me learn a lot about myself and how I’ve come to this wonderfully surreal point in my life. Music has always helped me through moments of sadness and to celebrate moments of joy. Pieces is meant to do the same.” – William Black
Each of these are true collaborations between the artists involved, who feature their signature sounds, and blends with William Black’s. These songs stand out for their uniqueness because of this and help to paint an even more saturated image for the listener. ‘Pieces’, for William Black, was a “desire to be as personally honest as he could which required him to give everything he could into each track.” This desire has made ‘Pieces’ into an exceptional and captivating album.
William Black has recently played at big festivals such as Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas, while also getting ready to play shows across the world, along with upcoming festivals including Ember Shores, EDC Mexico, and EDC Orlando.

Marlon Hoffstadt & David Guetta – Caught Up

Armin van Buuren & Funk Tribu – Nirvana

With Nirvana, both artists bring a direct trance entry into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
WÓTIE – Never Let You Go
WÓTIE turns a deeply personal story into Never Let You Go, a melodic dance and progressive house single. The song reflects his years-long separation from his daughter and the hope he held onto through that period. He wrote it in 2019 during a difficult time in Brazil, with lyrics drawn from loss, distance, and love. Musically, the track pairs warm male vocals, emotional piano, organic elements, and a euphoric drop. With Never Let You Go, WÓTIE brings one of the week’s most personal tracks into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
SKILAH – GOMF BUT LOUDER
SKILAH returns with GOMF BUT LOUDER, a tech house rework of her September single GOMF.

It follows major festival appearances at Lost Lands, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Breakaway Music Festival, Foam Wonderland, and Ubbi Dubbi. At 23, the Minnesota-born, Los Angeles-based artist has also passed 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Chase & Status – Generic Everything (album)
Chase & Status release Generic Everything, a 10-track album through 2RUFF Records and Warner Music UK. The album pushes against algorithm-led creative sameness, while drawing from drum and bass, rave, rap, and soundsystem culture. It features J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco, IRAH, Col3trane, and more. One of its biggest moments is Essa Ta Quente, a Brazilian funk-leaning track with Skrillex. With Generic Everything, Chase & Status bring a full album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Dillon Francis, Oaks – Fall
Dillon Francis and Oaks release Fall, a melodic single out via Monstercat and Broke Records. The track centers on an expressive vocal topline, soaring melodies, and the feeling of finally letting go. Dillon Francis said the song was written for their significant others and came from a studio session where everyone was writing from the same place. It follows a major 2026 for Dillon Francis, including Stagecoach, the Impact Award at the EDM Awards, and the Dillstradamus co-headline tour with Flosstradamus. With Fall, Dillon Francis and Oaks add a more emotional dance release to New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Effin – Heartbeats (Album)
Effin presents Heartbeats, a 12-track album centered on love, memory, nostalgia, and detailed sampling. Across the project, the Nashville producer uses 1950s film dialogue, forgotten live recordings, jazz flutes, vocal manipulation, and vintage-inspired textures. The album follows his earlier singles What’s In Your Heart, Forever & Always, and Plus One, each giving a different part of the project’s emotional world. It also follows his biggest touring year so far, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lost Lands, Breakaway, VELD, and more. With Heartbeats, Effin brings a conceptual bass album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.
In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.
“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.
Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.
His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.
‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.
