Electronic & Club Music

Electronic music artists are reclaiming creative control by stripping back guest features and re-engaging with regional heritages. Producers in Montreal, Caracas, and Melbourne are releasing minimal, archival, or genre-fluid works that prioritize local scene longevity over algorithmic trends. Key Takeaways: • Kaytranada centered his core drum-forward house sound on his surprise album by removing all guest vocalists. • Montreal's Doo label and artists like DJ Spence are resisting algorithmic trends by releasing minimal, unhurried records. • Daniel Lopatin used restored 1990s sample libraries to critique digital ephemerality on his latest Oneohtrix Point Never album.
