Having been a fan of dance music and Armin van Buuren since 2003, I was inspired to start my own electronic music publication with a very simple, and clear goal - to share electronic music with old, and new fans alike. Working alongside a great team has made me keep that goal alive, and build on it.

Party Favor unleashes new collab with Baauer – MDR

American bass maestro Party Favor has teamed up with ‘Harlem Shake’ founder Baauer to deliver thumping new production – MDR.

A rumbling and in-your-face production, laced with the thunderous bass-lines both Party Favor and Baauer have become known for, ‘MRD’ utilizes elongated warning siren sounds to kick off the release before launching into an assault of vibrant and dynamic chord patterns that will delight head banging ravers worldwide.



The track follows Dylan’s latest release ‘Alive’ , an upbeat party starter produced for Lil Jon, featuring Offset and 2 Chainz. The track thrust into the spotlight with its recent placement in a national Gatorade commercial.

Few acts have the innovative color and diverse repertoire of Party Favor, one of the fastest rising names in dance music. His edgy style has helped turn heads across the globe thanks to chart topping original records such as ‘Bap U’ and ‘Booty Loose’ (Mad Decent). Party Favor’s highly anticipated Party and Destroy EP, was released last summer and included collaborations with Dillon Francis, Gucci Mane, Sean Kingston, Rich The Kid, Gent & Jawns and Georgia Ku. The EP received rave reviews in the industry debuting at #2 on the iTunes Dance album charts. The EP’s lead single ‘Give It To Me Twice’ has garnered over 10 million plays on Spotify.



Party Favor’s infectious music has created massive demand across the globe, leading to consistent headlining tours around the world at some of the best and most iconic venues, including both Hakkasan & Omnia in Las Vegas. The U.S producer will also play this year’s Coachella, Electric Forest, and FireFly Festival. 



An adept remixer, with his rework of Disclosure’s ‘You & Me’ gaining over 10 million Spotify streams, Brooklyn-born Baauer has received worldwide support from the likes of Pete Tong and Martin Solveig for his productions, with the latter including Baauer’s latest single ‘Fern Gully’ in his 2017 ‘My House’ Year Mix.



A unique sonic arrangement embodying the styles of both producers, ‘MRD’ is out now.
